(Something’s Got to) Give Pretty Soon (Live at Flicker Bar - Athens, GA - June 20th, 2002)

[Verse 1]
Way you look at me like that
Something's got to give pretty soon
Throw it on a camel's back
Something's got to give pretty soon
Livin' hard to chase the dreams
Livin' in the ways and means
Yours don't mean a goddamn thing
That's what you said but don't believe it

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
That shattered look upon your face
Something's got to give pretty soon
Swallowed but can't stand the taste
Bark at the wind, chase the moon
Living fast and drinking lots
List of things we haven't got
Tired of life with the have-nots
That's what you said, and I believe it

[Chorus 1]
Maybe what you need is for someone to send you flowers
Someone strong and mean who can prove he has the power to
Show you more than charm and take you on your way
To where you wanna be at the end of the day
And it breaks my heart in two to know it ain't meant to be
But it ain't me, it ain't me

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 3]
You said that it's the things I do
About me that's attracted you
So if I started doin' something else
What would we have left?
And you say you just want compromise
Tell me something different with those eyes
The reasons why we said goodbye
Just another way of tellin' stupid lies

[Chorus 2]
Something's got to give, gotta give pretty soon
Or else we're gonna lose the very thing that made it bloom
[?] like two people in a cold and lonely room
While the world goes on around us
Something's got to give, gotta give pretty soon
Or else we're gonna hate each other
And that would be the saddest thing I ever seen

[Applause]
