Blowing It/I Live For That Look (Live, Hollywood Palladium, 14 June 1991)
[Verse 1]
I been thinking through the night
Everybody's so uptight
People hurt and that's their right
Cut them all loose, think I might
Stewing, hanging out in town
And, my head, whirling around
Don't trust your mind, it'll let you down
Don't have a thing to go on

[Chorus]
I don't know a thing to say to you
I don't know a thing to say to you

[Verse 2]
There's a time and there's a place
It's not now, it's time to pace
Things I'd say but just can't face
All it means to say them
I could believe the things I feel
Then tomorrow, is it the same deal?
Am I acting on something real?
Or am I blowing it again?

[Chorus]
I don't know a thing to say to you
I don't know a thing to say to you
I don't know a thing to say to you
[Verse 1]
Hey, I live for that look
Hey, is that all it took?
I know why, I know why
Hey, it's all forgoten
Hey, and I don't want it
I know why, I know why

[Chorus]
You run around
And you won't see tomorrow
See today, no way
Time to pay
Up for not having a time to even say

[Verse 2]
Hey, it's all on her head
Hey, is that all you said
I know why, I know why
Hey, I live for that look
Hey, is that all it took
I know why, I know why

[Chorus]
You run around
And you won't see tomorrow
See today, no way
Time to pay
Up all night having a falsity to say
Tell me now, tell me now
