| Red light joint |
|---|
Half a black bottle of Bourbon running through my veins
A bag full of candy in my head just to ease the pain
A red bandanna on my head for the sweat in my eyes
I head to a place that s a touch on the sleazy side
Well I roll a lucky seven, my eyes are all big and wide
Take the money and run, but that would be suicide
Pull out the stops, get a little bit of everything
Drink your shots, give it all that you got, don t know what tomorrow will bring
Down at the red light joint, they got a sign hanging out the front
It says you got the money, you got whatever you want
Well I cruise like celluloid star out of Hollywood
You know the drinks on the house, and everybody s got me feeling good
Now I m high as a kite in the spotlight rage till dawn
You know that Saturday s cool but I m strung out on Monday morn
Down at the red light joint, they got a sign hanging out the front
It says You got the money, you got whatever you want

| Under the overpass |
|---|
We made the plan of going out to have some fun
Drinking shooters now were loaded guns
(Premonition of the ground)
Catching the 366 bus heading to the beach
Moscow mules were young n wild in the streets
(I think I hear the don t walk sound )
A pick-up truck is a rumbling past
A concrete bed with a pillow of broken glass, under the overpass
Under the overpass, I m just sleeping
Under the overpass, that s where I lay my head
Under the overpass, you know I m just under the overpass
Well me and Luke were stumbling down the Avenue
Synapse road block gotta try break through
(Premonition of the ground)
I needed a pick me up, so fix me up a mirro
rLine it up and things are now looking clearer
(Think I hear the don t walk sound )
A pick-up truck is a rumbling past
A concrete bed with a pillow of broken glass, under the overpass
Under the overpass, I m just sleeping
Under the overpass, that s where I lay my head
Under the overpass, you know I m just under the overpass
Waking up in a taxi wondering where you are
Where is Lex? He s drinking at the bar
(But he won t be hanging around)
Realize I have lost my wallet and my keys
No phone credit, guess I ll sleep in the street
(Premonition s come true now)
A pick-up truck is a rumbling past
A concrete bed with a pillow of glass
A pick-up truck goes rumbling past
Concrete bed, pillow of broken glass
I m sleeping under the overpass

| Heaven again |
|---|
Remember summer in Sydney and those Harbour lights
I knew you were dancing on the dirt more than once a night
An accidental early exit I will never forget
But your sun had set, did you have regrets?
I respect you lived your life without a safety net, now
Your eyes are watching over me girl
I know everything will be alright
Your life was always meant for my world
Despite something wasn t right
In time I ll see you again
Love is lost united in the end, now
Well I know I ll see you again
Love is lost, united in heaven again
I m sorry nobody heard you and your swan song
I still wish I could have been by your side when it all went wrong
Now I can t forget, and I won t loose it
I respect you lived your life without a safety net, now
Your eyes are watching over me girl
I know everything will be alright
Your life was always meant for my world
Despite something wasn t right
In time I ll see you again
When love is lost united in the end, now
I know I ll see you again
Love is lost, united in heaven again

| Highway dream |
|---|
Let me clarify just what I m talking about when I say we're ok
Fantasize the lies till they're truth and we're back on the highway
Because we want it, need it, working hard to get it baby
No if's, but's or maybe's
With a little bit of help outta Lynchberg Tennessee
No one can break us, and no one can fake us
And that s gonna take us to the highway dream
No one can break us, because of our blood trust
Committing us all to chase the highway dream, oh
Well let me tell you about the tour yeah
We re 30,000 feet, drunk in cramped seats, about to stumble out of the plane
Trolly dolly cuts us off, but we swear that the booze ain't to blame, oh no!
Because we want it, need it, we re drinking harder baby,
No if's, but's or maybe's
With a little bit of help out of Lynchberg Tennessee
No one can break us, and no one can fake us
And that s gonna take us to the highway dream
No one can break us, because of our blood trust
Committing us all to chase the highway dream
Well if you got a problem, take the Koritni model cause we're ok
Yeah we re slamming shots out of a whisky bottle all day
With a little bit of help outta Lynchberg Tennessee
Drinking black label jack, well you know that's alright with me
No one can break us, and no one can fake us
And that s gonna take us to the highway dream
No one can break us, because of our blood trust
Committing us all to chase the highway dream

| Never say goodbye |
|---|
I told you to do what you want
Wasting your own time, taking a hard line
You will not turn me around
I got my reasons that you don't believe in
There's not a way to change me
So why don't we just agree to disagree?
I say loving is a gone, never ever say goodbye
You say whatever you want, never ever say goodbye to me
Never say goodbye, well I say it again
Never ever say goodbye, well I say it again
All we had was the touch
Well I'm not complaining, that's not what I'm saying
We both know it isn't enough
So let's take the pleasure, the last time together
There is no way to change this
So why don't we just agree to disagree?
You said loving is a gone, never ever say goodbye
I said whatever you want, never ever say goodbye to me
You've been slipping and sliding away
It's been fun but I can't sustain
Before the night is over I'd like to say
I know I can baby, but tell me can you take the pain?
There is no way to change me
So why don't we just agree to disagree?
I said loving is a gone, never ever say goodbye
You say whatever you want, never ever say goodbye to me

| Sick again |
|---|
Jimmy left home bout 17
Pretty cute kid, with low self-esteem
And he just couldn t take it no more
He tried making his own life
Didn t work it out cause he hit all the ice
Now he s a crystal meth whore
Downhill slide into lifestyle suicide
I know I ve been here before
Been clean for 2 years now I m knocking on death s door
I ve tried my best to pretend
But I got that sick feeling again
Well I don t know why
And god can t tell me why
Why I started, well I got that sick feeling again
Pete said as he took a hit
Man I gotta habit I just can t quit
And my source is breaking down my door.
I tried methadone and all that funk
But nothing gives a high like high speed junk
He s just a smack freak trashed whore
Downhill slide into lifestyle suicide
I know I ve been here before
Been clean for 2 years now I m knocking on death s door
I ve tried my best to pretend
But I got that sick feeling again
Jade was real pretty and she came from the right wing side of the tracks
Channel shades and Gucci boots with designer lopez slacks
Heard the psiren song of the cold glass pipe
It said quench your thirst by sucking ice
But she can t understand why she s quarter to dead Oh she said

| Not your man |
|---|
I get home late, you jump outta bed
Then remind me of the things I never said
You scream and shout till the crack of dawn
Break my back, think I d rather be ignored
You re up all night just making plans
You re writing the lines on your hands
Making change kinda strange
You ve got no understanding
You don t like me for who I am
I can t change cause I m not your man
You tell me that I ain t no good
You don t care if I m just misunderstood
Inside my heart is a different world
You can t find the key to it little girl
You re up all night just making plans
You re writing the lines on your hands
Make a change kinda strange
You ve got no understanding
You don t like me for who I am
I can t change cause I m not your man
I don t know what I m waiting for
Hey I should be outta that door
No baby please I m on my knees
Just grab my TV, my DVDs and all my CDs
You live your life on a razor blade
In your mind you think you got it made
You re up all night just making plans
You re writing the lines on your hands
Making change kinda strange
You ve got no understanding
You don t like me for who I am
You don t like me for who I am
You do not like me for who I am
I can t change cause I m not your man

| I see the light |
|---|
I d like to share some blame with you
Anticipation of what you re gonna do
Selling lies you know can satisfy
Pull the trigger and watch the stars collide
An undercover lover yes I am
From a hulk of the damned
For secret satisfaction I m your man
You ll feel things for which I cannot plan
You ll see the light at the end of the tunnel again
But don t be fooled, it might be the sound of a diesel train
Bet you wished you knew how to play
Well for years I tell you the rules haven t changed
Attitude, confidence and brains
Get the moves and then you won t see light again
An undercover lover yes I am
From a hulk of heart-broken damned
For secret satisfaction I m your man
I feel things for which I could not plan
Well I see the light at the end of the tunnel again
But don t be fooled, it might be the sound of a diesel train
Down the line
We re on time
You re on my mind
Well I see the light at the end of the tunnel again
But don t be fooled, it s just the front of a diesel train

| Starving fast |
|---|
You re a hustler and you know it s true
As you re telling me telling me telling me that I m special to you
You re trying to sell the whole crowd a lie
As you sing the blues you borrowed while pretending to cry
You know that you ve dug your own grave
Now lay in what you have made gHey
I ve seen through all your tricks before
You re keeping on trying to tell me that you re giving it all
Your moral sign says I ll be safe in my lane
But you re dishing out the pain while you re hiding all your riches again
Well my mind ain t a free bordello
Pour my wine into your broken glass
Every time I bleed you swallow
Now I m starving fast
You tell me rules I should live by
You put your dissonant take of life inside theology lies
You ll have to find a bigger sucker than I
Cause I ve seen your crocodile tears and dramatic crying
Well you re stuck in a hole
What miracle will unfold?
You re knock knock knocking on my door
With creative telling and selling of stories I ve heard before
It don t make sense what other people believe
All the see is forest, when it s just fire wood to me
Well my mind ain t a free bordello
Pour my wine into your broken glass
Every time I bleed you swallow
Now I m starving fast
Well my mind ain t a free bordello
Put my dime into your broken glass
Every time I bleed you swallow
On a starving fast

| Lady luck |
|---|
Are you sincere I should leave you here?
With the queen of the Nile all night
How about I deal you something girl?
That will keep you satisfied
The King of Fools with the Queen of Clubs
Ace and Black Jack s almost enough
Score a 10 for a royal flush
You know you ll feel endorphin s rush
You re holding all the cards for sure
As I raise your bet once more
Lady Luck didn t break my fall
Oh no!
You know you re being played by the game
You remain dazzled and mesmerized
Your friends have changed, you re still the same
The house wins every night
You re holding all the cards for sure
As I raise your bet once more
Lady Luck didn t break my fall
Oh no!
Well so don t tell me that you won t gamble tonight It s alright
Your addiction s leaving you itching for some more of that poker action
Flip em over so you re on display
Ambivalent confidence with regret
If you win this you ve got it made
You walk away with debt
You re holding all the cards for sure
As I raise your bet once more
Lady Luck didn t break my fall
Never hearing the last drinks call

| Got to get you into my life |
|---|
The beatles's song |
I was alone, I took a ride,
I didn't know what I would find there
Another road where maybe I could see another kind of mind there
Ooh, then I suddenly see you,
Ooh, did I tell you I need you
Every single day of my life
You didn't run, you didn't lie
You knew I wanted just to hold you
Had you gone, you knew in time, we'd meet again
For I had told you
Ooh, you were meant to be near me
Ooh, and I want you hear me
Say we'll be together every day
Got to get you into my life
What can I do, what can I be,
When I'm with you I want to stay there
If I'm true I'll never leave
And if I do I know the way there
Ooh, then I suddenly see you,
Ooh, did I tell you I need you
Every single day of my life
Got to get you into my life
Got to get you into my life
I was alone, I took a ride,
I didn't know what I would find there
Another road where maybe I could see another kind of mind there
Then suddenly I see you,
Did I tell you I need you
Every single day...

| Ain't no love song |
|---|
You re drunk again, your blood is just as thick as what you re drinking
Your clarity of reality it comes from television
A pedestool exists in your mind because you ve traveled miles
Now I m on trial screaming why why let me tell you
You wanna send me to hell well honey be my guest
So that when your time has come I ll leave ajar the gates
The minute I m gone, I knew that I was wrong
I m telling you baby that you ain t no love song
The minute I m gone, I knew that I was wrong
I m telling you baby that this ain t a love song
The blame is such an irony because you used to tell me
Respect yourself, defend your right to life avoid a tragedy
You paint a scene with shades of black regret and disappointment
I try to forget but lament, then try to damn well hide it
You wanna send me to hell well honey be my guest
So that when your time has come I ll leave ajar the gates
The minute I m gone, I knew that I was wrong
I m telling you baby that this ain t no love song
The minute I m gone, I knew that I was wrong
I m telling you baby that you ain t no love song
Over and over, I try to hide again
You try to be sober, it happens now and then
Over and over, tell me why don t it end
To be my lover first you must be my friend
