Eliwhish 04:26
Alive And it feels okay I'm home alone, with my mind blown I'm better off this way Can somebody help me? I fear I've lost my way My soul is sold, and I'm growing old But I'm not prepared to pay I've got my friends inside my head They help my mess around It's hard to stay on top of things When you're so far under ground Can somebody help me? I fear I've lost my way My soul is sold, and I'm growing old But I'm not prepared to pay You best leave me now 'cause I've let you down Got my foot on the gas and my head in the clouds I feel so damn tired of all this runnin' around 'Cause I've seen the lights and I've heard the sounds

Skunt 05:09
Sent for my babe, but she don't come I was in love, now I got my gun Baby please, I'm on my knees Way too long you been doin' me wrong Child you know I've got to go My time is up on your loving cup You're outta my bed, so I've lost my head Woman, I know you're no good Open your eyes, you been tellin' me lies Just like I knew you would Woman, it's over today Lend me your ear, so you can hear Just what I've got to say Sun came up, blood got hot Love me now or love me not Best be quick 'cause that's all I got Woman, I know you're no good Open your eyes, you been tellin' me lies Just like I knew you would Woman, it's over today Lend me your ear, so you can hear Just what I've got to say Second floor on Shakedown Street With broken glass and cut up feet Kill the lights, but not to sleep Woman, I know you're no good Open your eyes, you been tellin' me lies Just like I knew you would Woman, it's over today Lend me your ear, so you can hear Just what I've got to say

Pretty Cold 04:35
Shot dead with a shake of the head And so I got in line Woke up half crazed and all alone With a sheet over my eyes I thought I had this figured out But I just can't be sure So I'll spend the day tryin' to find a way To get off this killin' floor It seems as though the state of things Is not as I expected But we don't know what time will bring So let us stay, for one more day It's crowded here inside my head At the place where all my thoughts have lead Tried to buy a new state of mind But I'm afraid they're not for sale I think I'm headed backwards This train's gone off its rails Tell my woman not to worry 'Cause when I'm dead and gone Though my time here may have been short I'm sure I'll have had my fun It seems as though the state of things Is not as I expected But we don't know what time will bring So let us stay, for one more day It's crowded here inside my head At the place where all my thoughts have lead Off guard, I was thrown in the ward When they took me from the town Some people said they couldn't have Too many freaks around But even when my arms are tied It comes more naturally Than the way some people live their lives With no chance to be free It seems as though the state of things Is not as I expected But we don't know what time will bring So let us stay, for one more day It's crowded here inside my head At the place where all my thoughts have lead

Sun Daze 03:44
Goin' down that highway With a suitcase in my hand On borrowed time, it's hard to find A way to understand The problems I associate With my troubled state of mind 'Cause in my dreams, it always seems I stay stuck in rewind I'll see you again a little down that line It may be a while, may be quite some time I came to the end but it was hard to find Left me broken, bruised, and blind For ten years I have wandered In this yellow desert sun And though nobody follows I still feel I'm on the run I got to keep on movin' Keep that devil off my trail Been down so long, 'cause I been wrong It seems I'm bound to fail I'll see you again a little down that line It may be a while, may be quite some time I came to the end but it was hard to find Left me broken, bruised, and blind I had a troubled vision So I know I'm on my way My tongue is tied, but that's alright I've got nothing to say The sun is shining on my face But my back's against the wall If you can't give me what I want I guess I'll take it all

Crüzer 05:31
Can you see me babe With that fog behind yo' eyes? Come free me babe Before I lay right down and die; lay right down and die Are you afraid That the price you paid is too high? It's too late to save me But I guess it won't hurt to try; guess it won't hurt to try So do it for the pleasure I do it for the thrill It don't matter what you say I ain't leavin' till I get my fill I got a real bad habit That I just can't seem to shake Don't wanna hear about All the mistakes that I've made Tryin' to find a way That I can keep on getting by Listen what I say Keep off that nine to five; make you lose your mind See I've got it made Seems I can't help but survive Been runnin' late But I can't wait to arrive; let me come inside So do it for the pleasure I do it for the thrill It don't matter what you say I ain't leavin' till I get my fill I got a real bad habit That I just can't seem to shake Don't wanna hear about All the mistakes that I've made

Get Around 04:20
I met a man, he was the strangest friend He helped me come in from the cold No questions asked, for the time he passed With the tales that he often told It's hard to say how he made his way On the road from town to town But I know one thing for certain That man could get around Get around, get around I met a girl from across the world With kaleidoscopic eyes She carried her past in a whiskey glass And she wore a fake disguise It's hard to say, but along the way Her love I thought I'd found And although I hate to say so That girl could get around Get around, get around I met a child with an empty smile And holes in both his hands He told me that his uncle Had devised a master plan I followed him for several weeks In spite of all the signs And the only greeting I received Was a shot between the eyes Get around, get around
7.
Had me a woman On the other side of town She only seemed to love me When I laid my money down She took all of my silver She took all of my gold I had to send her packing When she started on my soul That no good woman I can't quit thinking of I caught on fire with her Gasoline love She bound me up in chains And then she took my to the station She told 'em I's the one to blame For her sorry situation That no good woman I can't quit thinking of I caught on fire with her Gasoline love Gasoline love, gasoline love Got me a woman She is so cold and mean All I can find inside her eyes Is a hard metallic glean And so I wonder How best to get away She won't take my excuses It don't matter what I say That no good woman I can't quit thinking of I caught on fire with her Gasoline love Gasoline love, gasoline love
8.
Yolanda 07:31
I feel like something is watching me 'Cause when I close my eyes to sleep Just when I think there's nothing there I catch a glimpse of teeth or hair Or hear a sound that surprises me What could it be? Yolanda Yolanda Yolanda Get out of my yard I wonder what makes her so frightening Until I see Yolanda's green eyes She's knockin' on my window Burnin' down my door The devil may be daunting, but Yolanda scares me more She scares me more Yolanda Yolanda Yolanda Get out of my yard

You tryin'a get up, you tryin'a get down We'll play as long as you can move around I'd tell you the truth, but I'd prob'ly be wrong So you can stay inside or you can tag along Let's take a ride We can step outside We might not make it home Close your eyes And hold your breath, whoa Grab hold with all your fingers 'Cause I can't feel my toes I'm feelin' fine I was next in line On the midnight rodeo A midnight rodeo A moonlight rodeo A midnight rodeo Swimmin' upstream 'cause I got confused I try to talk right but it's not use Draw as fast as you want, 'cause I ain't scared I try to go home but I get nowhere Let's take a ride We can step outside We might not make it home Close your eyes And hold your breath, whoa Grab hold with all your fingers 'Cause I can't feel my toes I'm feelin' fine I was next in line On the midnight rodeo A midnight rodeo A moonlight rodeo A midnight rodeo

Big Deal 05:00
Think of all my friends I wonder where they go Make believe when I pretend Not to know I'm hearing all the stations Loud and clear Setting off vibrations In my ear I don't need satisfaction I just want a reaction Climbing in the window To open up the door Throw away my blankets Lay down on the floor I don't need satisfaction I just want a reaction Watching all the faces From behind Running all my races In rewind Hiding all the traces Of my mind I don't need satisfaction I just want a reaction

Hey (hey) Ho (ho) Quinby Bennett sailed the seas For all his lonesome life The bottle was his mistress The ocean was his wife When he ventured to the harbor People came from all around To tip their glass to Quinby While he could still be found Hey (hey) Ho (ho) He set out for the islands But was caught up in the storm His ship was found weeks later When it washed up on the shore We combed the Captain's quarters But we couldn't seem to find Quinby or his bottles All else was left behind Hey (hey) Ho (ho) Quinby where'd you go? Quinby, what should I think? Did you make it safe, or did you drown in the drink? Quinby, are you still around? I know you're lost, but can you be found? Quinby, are your bottles full? Did you get sucked under by the current's pull? Did you find your home on the ocean floor? Did you get your fill or do you still want more? Quinby Where did you go? Quinby Well I don't know Quinby Where did you go? Quinby!

Ashamed And I've been abused I quit my day job yesterday 'Cause I just don't see the use C'mon won't you tell me girl Baby, what's your sign? I've been blamed With no excuse Ten years up on Shakedown Street Baby I was born to lose But c'mon won't you tell me girl Baby, what's your sign? La Grange Playin' on that box Got to keep on truckin' Through the day I'll have one more on the rocks C'mon won't you tell me girl Baby, what's your sign? So listen To what I tell I don't have much For lookin', babe But I can love you pretty well So c'mon won't you tell me girl Baby, what's your sign?

That ghost inside my mirror Wastin' all my time My woman says she's worried But I know she'll be alright 'Cause I've been sittin' on my back porch, baby Tryin' to find a light 'Cause things keep getting stranger And there ain't no end in sight The nightmares keep on comin' I can't barely think I'm feeling kinda thirsty Think I'll have myself a drink Yes I've been sittin' on my back porch, baby Tryin' to feel alright If there ain't no truth in action Am I wrong or right?

Al Gonquin 06:30
I wake up every morning at the break of day With a song stuck in my head Makes me wanna question every word I say Every thing I've left unsaid But why should I Why should I wait? We all get by It'll be alright, some way Some way But I can't find the right words to say For some reason, it's hard to explain The telephone is ringing but there's no one there I think I'm too far underground My eyes are blind, my mind is fried My ears can't hear a sound A premonition, superstition No matter what they say My friends and I We'll be alright, some way Some way But I can't find the right words to say For some reason, it's hard to explain
