I feel tears welling up from down deep inside

[ET Awful]

Like my heart's got a big break
And a stab of loneliness sharp and painful
that I may never shake.

You might think that I'm taking it hard
since you broke me off with a call,
You might wager that I'll hide in sorrow and
I might lay right down and bawl.

Now the race is on
and here comes pride up the back stretch,
Heartaches a goin' to the inside,
my tears are holding back,
tryin' not to fall.

My heart's out of the running,
true love scratched for another's sake,
The race is on and it looks like heartaches,
and the winner loses all.

One day I ventured in love never once suspecting
What the final result would be.
Now I live in fear of waking up each morning,
And finding that you're gone from me.

There's an aching pain in my heart
for the name of the one that I hated to face,
Someone else came out to win her,
and I came out in second place.

Now the race is on
and here comes pride up the back stretch,
Heartaches a goin' to the inside,
my tears are holding back,
tryin' not to fall.

My heart's out of the running,
true love scratched for another's sake,
The race is on and it looks like heartaches,
and the winner loses all.

12. to get back on track, here's another:

Patience runs out on the junkie
The dark side hires another soul
Did he steal his fate or earn it
Was he force-fed, did he learn it
Whatever happened to his precious self control

Like him I'm tired of trying to heal
This tom-cat heart with which I'm blessed
Is destruction loving's twin
Must I choose to lose or win
Maybe when my turn comes I will have guessed

These are the horns of the dilemma
What truth is proof against all lies
When sacred fails before profane
The wisest man is deemed insane
Even the purest of romantics compromise

What fixation feeds this fever
As the full moon pales and climbs
Am I living truth or rank deceiver
Am I the victim or the crime
Am I the victim or the crime
Am I the victim or the crime
Or the crime

And so I wrestle with the angel
To see who'll reap the seeds I sow
Am I the driver or the driven
Will I be damned to be forgiven
Is there anybody here but me who needs to know

What it is to face this fever
As the full moon pales and climbs
Am I living truth or rank deceiver
Am I the victim or the crime
Am I the victim or the crime
Am I the victim or the crime
Or the crime

13. Who's song is that?

[Rambis]

15. bobby Weir newish tune

I heard the debut in MN in 1988 I think- we couldn't figure out WTF was up until we jumped down on the floor. In the parking lot the cops yelled at us..."Hey, you put down that map and get outta here"

16. Originally Marty Robbins, covered by the Dead very, very well

:)

Or were you talking about Victim or the Crime (which the Dead first started playing around '89 or so).

18. I was a year off . . . damn.

I didn't actually hear it live until '90, but I'd heard OF it before then and heard it on tape, so I was guessing '89.

14. Firefly, can you see me?

Shine on, glowing, brief and brightly
Could you imagine? one summer day,
That same night be on your way

Do you remember? hearts were too cold
Seasons have frozen us into our souls
People were sayin' the whole world is burning
Ashes have scattered too hard to turn

Upside out or inside down
False alarm, the only game in town
No man's land, the only game in town
Terrible, the only game in town

Passenger, don't you hear me?
Destination seen unclearly.
What is a man deep down inside,
What a raging beast with nothing to hide.

Upside out or inside down
False alarm, the only game in town
No man's land, the only game in town
Terrible, the only game in town
