- Stunt Driver
Thinkin' he's a stunt driver
Drives with no headlights on
Maybe he lost his way
Maybe he lost his home
Maybe ain't got no soul
Maybe it's in the lost and found
Maybe he's sideways
Maybe he's upside down
- 30 Days Back
Thirty days back
Back from the war
Still adjusting my mind
Adjusting my score
Too long in the desert
Too long in the sun
Still looking for answers
But I ain't got none
- Ballad Of A Deadman
The moon lights up over the battlefield now,
With a blistering heat somehow
Lifeless and broken heart to death,
they should have just stayed home instead
stayed alive.
We'll let her rice
We gliss on some others eyes
She wonders where when and why
- Bar And The Beer
Some one to follow, someone to fear
Keeps me in line, keeps me in gear
But the hand that lashed out brought me to tears
That's why I am drinking up all of theses beers
The bar and the beer keeps me coming back to here
This drunken stupor is not what it seems
It helps me laugh, helps me dream
- BB Guns And Dirt Bikes
We were ridin’ out
With heads in the sky
We were ten and twelve and thirteen
We got BB guns and dirt bikes
And heads full of crowded dreams
We always won
In the hot suburban sun
- Carnage
The day that carnage came to town
We locked and bolted our doors down
We laid silent on the ground
Hoping we will not be found
As children moan as mother cries
I hide the fear from my eyes
We creep down the cellar door
Underneath the rotting floor
- Chico
Oh Chico he lies
Well he got it coming
He don't know when to quit
Just keeps his mouth running
From day into night
Grab the money and the bag
The cold Smith and Wesson
- Damned
Well, I followed you home tonight
In shadows, hidin' in silence
Watching you walk inside
Radiance swallowed in light
But I know, it ain't right
But for now ... it's all I've got
No reason for alarm
- Dark Days
Wipe the dust from my saddle
Like an old familiar friend
Life and time will pass you by
Don't worry about the shit that you can't mend
Wash the troubles from my mind
I know they'll never end
Future's looking brighter
- Dark Side Of Town
I'm headin' to the dark side of town
Where the devil gets down
Where my money gets lost and found
I shuffle my feet
And I ain't too discreet
Trouble it flags me down
So I head underground
- Every Night Every Day
There's two weeks of road ahead now
Three days have passed along
Well, I'm a long way from California
Gasoline, a guitar and this song
It's a devil's dream that dies by the dozen
Paid my dues in the sweatin' beer and the lights
With these highs and lows and everything in the middle
- Fantasy
Tell me that you need me now
Send my doubts on out to sea
Let 'em sail away and drown in their own misery
Say it to me one more time
Engrave it there in my mind
Tell me that there ain't no love without you in my life
- Hideous Heart
Transfixed on a sin, it's always watchin' it shivers my skin, I cannot shake from it's sight.
Translucent and blue, shades never blinking, fueled by booze, gets me to thinking its right.
The beating is bursting my brain, punishing, pulling apart, the pounding it drives me insane, please silence this hideous heart.
The Madness it grins, burns me like matches, blood running thin, haunting me day and night.
- Highway Man
I was a highwayman. Along the coach roads I did ride
With sword and pistol by my side
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade
The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty-five
But I am still alive.
I was a sailor. I was born upon the tide
- Highwayman
I was a highwayman. Along the coach roads I did ride
With sword and pistol by my side
Many a young maid lost her baubles to my trade
Many a soldier shed his lifeblood on my blade
The bastards hung me in the spring of twenty-five
But I am still alive.
I was a sailor. I was born upon the tide
- Hold the Line
I left home the beloved second son
Filled with promise and a tear drop in my eye
An escape my new life had just begun
With a whisper I did run into the night into the night
Go where there's dust I chase my shadow from the sun
Fix my eyes on the ocean keep it in my sight
There I sail into a sinking sea of sin no getting out once you've been in
- House Of Pain
It's a little past supper time
I'm still out on the porch steps
Sittin on my behind, waiting for you
Wondering if everything is all right
Momma said come in boy don't waste your time
I said I've got time be home soon
I was five years old and talkin to myself
- House Of The Rising Sun
There is a house in Charming Town
They call the Rising Sun
It's been the ruin of many a poor girl
And me, Oh God, I'm one
If I listened to my mama
Lord I'd be home today
But I was young and foolish
- I Wish It Were True
"Wish It Was True"
Mother, Try to do right by you
To do what you asked me to
I did wrong and I knew.
Mother I tried to behave for you
Now I’m a digging a grave for you
- Into the Sun
The city street, the desert heat
Burns my mind and forces my feet to keep moving
Three in the afternoon
Wasted, feel my father disapproving
There's a desperation in this town
Vultures flank the fools and clowns are crying
Shell-shocked and landlocked
Don't know if I can leave but I feel like trying
- Joey White
Joey White, well he ain't got no choices
Just like his daddy did, he joins the armed forces
Gonna be a man, oh not a zero
For Uncle Sam, well he'll be a hero
He don't know that Uncle Sam is a cartoon and not a man
Poor Joey White
Oh Joey White, you better bite your tongue
- Last Call to Heaven
Guess I'll walk my ass downtown
I'm so sick and tired of feeling lonely
Come on up from underground
Maybe this time I will find my one and only
Got an angel on my left
Whispering sweet nothings to me
Got the devil on my right
- Mad Man
It's a silent shriek without a sound
He's coming' soon to your small town
He's searching for something he won't find
He's a mad, mad man with a mad, mad mind
Half a fifth of Jack Daniels
He wipes his nose and takes a pull
He ain't young he ain't old
He's a troubled man with a morbid soul
- Modern Times
I don't know what age it is
Better hole up inside
I don't belong
in these modern times
Escape the past
Dream of another
Call all the guards
Looks like we got a runner
- Oh Darling, What Have I Done
Oh darlin, darlin
О, дорогая, дорогая,
What have I done?
Что я наделал?
Well I've been away from you too long
Все от того, что тебя не было рядом так долго.
And all my days have turned to darkness
Теперь все мои дни покрыты тьмой,
- One Lone Night
I'm dreaming wide awake
Sleep walking, shake the dust out
Got to give this heart a break,
I can't seem to slow the beats down
There ain't no going home
Just a silence and a wave goodbye
I don't really know about nothin'
- Rocky
They say Rocky sold his soul
Well he dipped his balls in rock and roll
He dove head first into the deep
Live for the moment wild and free
Carry on dance too close
To the fire not the phone
Radio silence don't call
- Sleepy Little Town
Well its gold and green kerosene
Far beyond the glow of the city lights
You can feel it in the air
You can catch if you dare
And all you got to do is wait around
For you and I in the sleepy little town
Slow like a dream lost in memories
- Story
I'll tell you a story
Of how the past it lies, it dies
All of your regrets and all of your glory
Oh, how the time it flies, flies bye
She said, I leave at two
Memories of old fade with the new
Good times and bad we've had a few
Help me to understand what can I do
- Sweet Hereafter
Oh, when I left my mamas home
Left her for dead when I left her all alone
The whores they won`t let me be at night
They can`t replace the warmth I need tonight
Because I`m cold, cold as hell
The lord, He don`t wait for me at night
He knows what I`ve done is wrong and it ain`t right
- The Bowery
I’m down at the Bowery oh Lord oh Lord
I’m gonna tell ya how I got here
First I gotta shoot some dice and win
So I can get my room again
It all started with a love so true and the angels flew
Higher than I’d ever been
With a sparkle in her face and her eyes and the butterfly
- The Pilot
I wish I was pilot
Soaring over everyone and everything
Looking at the landscape
What a peaceful tiny scene
Staring over the skyline
Oh I feel the blue dancing on my wings
Turn off the engine
- The Whistler
This time is different
It’s not like the times before
I crossed my heart, that I won’t kill no more
Jesus watch over me, keep my anger at home
- The Woods
Gone so long I stepped out of the woods
I was misunderstood but in light of it all
I sit back and check their disguise
Their dark shallow eyes got lost in the haze of the light
So I sit back and watch
I see all their masks soon appear
Long for the woods
- Time
Hold on tight Light the night
till' the break of dawn
Until it's gone, gone, gone
Windows are closing up
Doors slam shut, not going to open up
They'll be gone, gone, gone
Time won't fall and time won't end
- Today's Tomorrow
She's taking it down in cap size increments
She'll have one more, take her medicine
She hopes for some more and soon she will pray
Today's tomorrow, tomorrow's today
She ties, ties, ties her self in knots
She's down at the bar taking some shots
One leads to four and four leads to five
- Where Is Your Savior
The night is short
As the day is long
Coming home from work
Under a dying sun
Yeah, I got a job
Not one, but two
Just trying to make a living
- Wrong
Everyone was staring right at me
Thought I was the pawn, thought that I bought on
So I looked far, as far as I could see
For a way out, out of the crowd
Beedeleybeedeleybop I was baited and I bit the prize
To start the mark of my demise
So alone I look someone to share my strife
I got sucked down the siv of life
