The Good Guy
04:47
|
|||

Well i'm tired of listenin' to that same bullshit
I'm tired of bein' the good guy every time
I always try to reason, but you're acting like a dick
Filling my mouth with words that aren't mine
Livin' a life I never chose to live
Trustin' the ones I never should believe
and even though i try my best every day
my sorry ass is the one that's gonna pay
Been waiting so long to speak out my own mind
I know I won't regret it cause I don't care anymore
I've never hurt nobody, my intention's always clear
But yet so many people tried to stab me to the bone

Mr. Johnson

Mr Johnson is rollin' round,
Oh boy I think he's gettin' out
He's heard the news and it caused him pain
Run, run, run, he's gonna eat your brain!
Johnson's back, the devil's friend
He's got business to be done
The legacy he's left behind
Would be better off left alone
If your legs don't move then you're either dead
Or the band's not playing well
For playing blues in a way like that
All of you should go to hell!
Skeleton hand with a bottleneck slide
Round your neck before you think to hide
His eyes are lit with fiery blue
Run, run, run, he's mad at you!

Teeth in the Ground
03:43

Took my baby for a walk in the park
Found a good alley that was lonely and dark
She took me by the arm and held it tight
Man oh man, she said, it's cold tonight
I hugged her dearly, with a smile i told her
A while from now it's gonna get much colder
She shaked with a chill and I looked her in the eye
You know it's time for us to say goodbye
The words I said shot through her heart
It stopped for a beat and failed to start
So she didn't feel a thing when she said to me
"I got no need for you if you don't love me"
The next five seconds seemed to last a week
I opened my mouth but I could not speak
Something inside told me "run, boy, run"
I had no idea where she got that gun
Put it down, I said, put it down
No way out when I turned around
Two shots rang out with a mighty sound
I fell to my face, teeth in the ground
She leaned to my cheek to give me a kiss
You were no kind of man i would ever miss
that will teach you not to treat me this way
Was all I heard before she walked away

Let Me Play My Music
03:11
|

|
Let me play my music
Bit longer down the road
Let me play my music
Get down with the friends I know
Tired goin’round in circles
Bad habits beaten me down
I feel the music one more time
My love, my soul, my sound
I see the spirit in the darkness
Feel the music in my mind
I feel the love, love all the people
Son, be the loving kind!

All I Wanna Do
03:13
|
|||
|
I never felt this way before
I don't get worried anymore
I found the part I need to make me whole
I finally know how good it feels
To put away these sleeping pills
My every dream begins with the thought or your smile
I was down and out, goin' out of my head
Thinking about leaving town and ditching all I had
But since I met you, oh, since I met you
All I wanna do is sing
All I wanna do is sing
I've been looking for so long
you were waiting all along
The signs were always there, Oh but I was blind
The sky has never been so blue
And the sun is so much brighter, too
I'll never say that love is hard to find

Leave This Time
03:30

When you leave this time baby
Don’t you lock the door behind
When you leave this time baby
Don’t you lock the door behind
I’ll be two steps after you
Followin’ in the back of your mind
When you get up on that train
Find that uniform-wearin’ man
When you get up on that train
Find that uniform-wearin’ man
When you see me running up
Take the whistle from his hand

The Morning

light of the early morning
shinin’ on my empty bed
light of the early morning
shinin’ on my empty bed
I miss my babe
I miss my babe
but she's gone, she's really gone
the sound of her lovely voice
ringin' in my worried head
the sound of her lovely voice
ringin' in my worried head
I miss my babe
I miss my babe
but she's gone, It's all my fault
The smell of her sweet perfume
lingerin' in my room
The smell of her sweet perfume
lingerin' in my room
I miss my babe
I miss my babe
but she's gone, she's really gone
The glitter of the beacon lights
Dancing around my yard
The glitter of the beacon lights
Dancing around my yard
I'll join my babe
I'll join my babe
Let me get my gun, and I won't be long

The Mall
02:47
|
|||
|
I can't keep up running from future to past
Holdin' on to moments that I know never last
And I'm trying to make out the best of what's now
To freeze it for a second, but I never knew how
And I feel so naive
I feel like a child lost in the mall
And the world keeps getting bigger
While I can't stop feeling so small
As I grew older i thought it would change
But every year comin' i feel more estranged
And my friends - I thought that I knew them well
What's on their minds, it's getting harder to tell

Good Advice
02:24
|

|
Mary lee, Mary Lee, take a good friend's advice
reconsider the proposal that you turned down twice
He's a good man, and he loves you, like no one will do
Reconsider the good offer that he's making to you
Mary lee, Mary Lee, can't you see his love is true?
The coldness of your heart keeps making him blue
Ain't nothing in the world, that he'd rather do
Than hold up the sky, only to comfort you
Mary lee, Mary Lee, don't keep him in doubt
You keep swayin' and turnin', fadin' in, fadin' out
You're looking for love with your head in the stars
What you're needin' so badly is right in his arms

Two-Foot Machete
03:29
|
|||
|
I was running back home from a faraway land
I made it through snow, water and sand
When the night came down at the end of my way
The jungle of south got me wishing for day
The hills up north are the prettiest I've seen
The plains on my way so peaceful and lean
I was thirsty for water to comfort my mouth
But lord I got lost in the jungle of south
My efforts were long, but I never withdrew
I stood by my goal, when my chances were few
I thought I was close but I gave in to doubt
Oh Lord I got lost in the jungle of south
The only good piece of advice you can get
Get yourself fixed with a two-foot machete!
Get used to hackin' and swingin’ her round
If you don't good buddy, you'll be jungle bound!

Well Oh Well
05:24
|
|||
|
Well, oh well
I guess I'm going to hell after all
I didn't do you well like I should
And i know I could, but I just don't feel like tryin'
So I'll take my time before I get down to dyin'
And i feel her so close, catching up from behind
Her breath on my back chillin' my spine
But the difference it makes, if it's a year or a week
Oh it's nothing compared to eterinity
So I guess this is it, not as bad as they said
And I feel so relieved, though I can't say that i'm glad
I had tons of regrets but I couldn't care less
I got plenty of sins but no need to confess

Daydreaming
03:47
|
|||
|
I fell asleep again in the middle of the day
My thoughts became more vivid just before I slipped away
The dream I had was hazy, I was tryin' to catch a bird
When my fingers almost touched it, I woke up with a sound I heard
I struggled out of bed onto my moonlit bedroom floor
I saw a beam of light pouring out under my door
I heard a quiet voice, tried to whisper back in vain
Before i said a word I fell asleep again
