Are You Having A Good Time? (Live at Lowercase Books, Knoxville, Tennessee) Lyrics

Are you still having a good time

Are you still engaged

The ebb and flow of my words

Cross-reference a serenade

A small suggestion sample-sized

Down for these darker days

Are you having a good time

Are you still engaged

Might be getting my words crossed

Meaning is your choice

I write what I think will sound good

Sometimes it's just not my voice

It's a channeling of

The people I heard yesterday

Are you having a good time

Are you still engaged

If I've kept you this long

Must be something to my art

A sick way to keep going

A window to my broken heart

I'm sick of this lie

If I could I'd end it all today

Are you having a good time

Are you still engaged

Eight syllables to the verses

The opening line

A methodical arrangement

Put in common time

A slow-moving ballad

Never played for the stage

Are you having a good time

Are you still engaged

I'm forcing a sound I, at best, am good at

Wandering drunk into a pile of shit

I say I want love, and a life I can't have

When all I want is a little bit of money

And fame, and fortune, and everything that comes with it

Didn't make it to your surgery

Didn't know where to go

The directions I was given

Disappear into my skull

The one thing I was doing

Was ripped from the page

Are you having a good time

Are you still engaged

Gotta keep my own momentum

Guess the world has changed

My infrastructure is failing

Feel like I'm going insane

The toll bridge is burning

And I'm riding the train

Are you having a good time

Are you still engaged

Wasted a month of my life, trying in vain to have you stay

It wouldn't have worked after all, we can't learn to communicate

Now I'm hearing it twice, from what I lived and what they say

Are you having a good time

Are you still engaged

Are you getting tired of this

Too many questions in one song

If I'd known better

Wouldn't have written it at all

Too dense for the radio

Too unknown to get your plays

It weighs heavy on my mind

My wants and needs are out of phase

If there ever was a time

For me to shut up and play

I guess it ought to be now

If not tomorrow then today

I want to cut up my body

Still feel the need to entertain

Are you having a good time

Are you entertained

Me on the right side, you on the left

It's the only way we'll ever get through with it
