No Time For Love
02:39
|
|||
She was the girl
Who starred in the play
You pricked up your ears
When she took center stage
Her magic voice
You drop to your knees
Beautiful redeemer
That no one can please
Most men believe that if God is a woman
They'll never be saved
Why would a girl help a man who is drowning
In a watery grave
Lust in our hearts
Men have plenty of demons
I can give you their names
No time for love
Only heartache and pain
She was the girl
With red in her hair
A friend egged you on
You asked her out on a dare
She had a smoke
While you were nursing a drink
More time to watch her
And a moment to think
Most men believe that if God is a woman
They'll never be saved
Why would a girl help a man who is drowning
In a watery grave
Lust in our hearts
Men have plenty of demons
I can give you their names
No time for love
Only heartache and pain
No time for love
Only heartache and pain

Cursed
02:15
|
|||
Words can't express
The regret that I feel
You can't expect
To forget
What's revealed
Now you see me
For the man that I am
So, don't come near me
Try and please understand
We can never go back
To the way things were
We can never go back
That would make things worse
We can never go back
'Cuz I'm the one who's cursed
Give it up
Leave me now
And get out
Your tears are warm
Red light on your face
I hear the sound
Of a voice in the shade
You're better off
With a man who can laugh
I've always been
A mistake from your past
We can never go back
To the way things were
We can never go back
That would make things worse
We can never go back
'Cuz I'm the one who's cursed
Give it up
Leave me now
And get out
Give it up
Leave me now
And get out
Give it up
Leave me now
And get out

Mount Fuji

From out of the dust
The children of fire
We're running with guns
Our world on a wire
I need more time
To be with you
I know that our planet is dying
But we'll go to a place where there's snow
I've missed a step but I'll keep on trying
To grab hold of your hand as you go
Walking on dirt
And covered in leeches
There's a howl in the night
The devil will teach us
How we are the lie behind the truth
I know that our planet is dying
But we'll go to a place where there's snow
I've missed a step but I'll keep on trying
To grab hold of your hand as you go
I know that our planet is dying
But we'll go to a place where there's snow
I've missed a step but I'll keep on trying
To grab hold of your hand as you go
I know we'll go
Where there's snow
I'll grab your hand
As you go
I know we'll go
Where there's snow
I'll grab your hand
As you go

Southampton (Explicit)
02:30
|

Brothas come runnin' from the woods
Whitey's stockin' up on baked goods
Lil' nigger hangin' from a tree
And the sheriff he's been lookin' for me
Nat Turner rolls right in
Mad as hell
He's my next of kin
We will make them pay
In Southampton
Nat Turner rolls right in
Mad as hell
He's my next of kin
We will make them pay
In Southampton
Old Bridget readin' verses after dark
The prophet fought the devil for his heart
Christ gave his life for our sins
Ain't no way I'm gonna let them win again
Nat Turner rolls right in
Mad as hell
He's my next of kin
We will make them pay
In Southampton
Nat Turner rolls right in
With the wrath of God
And our sweet vengeance
We will make them pay
In Southampton
Our time has come today
I need to hear you say
We will make them pay
In Southampton

Grey Wolf and the Owl
03:11
|
|||
My rod and my staff
You have always had my back
You are my white knight in shining armor
I am the guy
But I am also a damsel in distress
A beautiful horror show
I have made your life a mess
I sit in this room
Drinking bourbon till noon
And seeing these visions in my head
I'm waiting for you
You know when I'm blue
Give me something to do
Or I'll stay in bed
Hands tied to the tracks
And the train will be here soon
A mountain of debt
These bills are way past due
If you have any regrets
Or your worst fears are coming true
Cut the rip cord while you still can
Cut the rip cord I'll understand
When I'm scared late at night
You turn over and hold me tight
You're my grey wolf fighting for my honor
I am your girl
And I will always love you
More than words can say
A mysterious three act play
I'm the one who has been saved
We can go far away
Where the light never fades
And our cats will be there too
I'm waiting for you
You know what to do
Don't be afraid
We've learned the truth
Hands tied to the tracks
And the train will be here soon
A mountain of debt
These bills are way past due
If you have any regrets
Or your worst fears are coming true
Cut the rip cord while you still can
Cut the rip cord I'll understand
Cut the rip cord while you still can
Cut the rip cord I'll understand

American Solar Power

Undress and move up on me, baby
That thing you do
It makes me crazy
I may speak jive
And act real sleazy
But you still do your best to please me
Cheap paperback
You can't put down, girl
Brown chimp on your back
Flag wrapped around her
And when we are done
I will need a shower
Makin' love in the sun
We are solar powered
You take the train
And get off on 10th street
You give yourself to me completely
In soft hushed tones
We talk discreetly
When we are home
I ride you deeply
Cheap paperback
You can't put down, girl
Brown chimp on your back
Flag wrapped around her
And when we are done
I will need a shower
Makin' love in the sun
We are solar powered
Cheap paperback
You can't put down, girl
Brown chimp on your back
Flag wrapped around her
And when we are done
I will need a shower
Makin' love in the sun
We are solar powered

The worse things get
I learn new tricks
I won't forget
I'll never quit
Have you looked inside me lately
Have you seen my stare
Filled with poison and hate
Can you break me
Would you even dare
Have you looked inside me lately
Have you seen my stare
Filled with poison and hate
Can you break me
Would you even dare
My father he would never do
The things I've done
But in time these pictures with my face
Will reveal his son
Have you looked inside me lately
Have you seen my stare
Filled with poison and hate
Can you break me
Would you even dare
Have you looked inside me lately
Have you seen my stare
Filled with poison and hate
Can you break me
Would you even dare

The Beast
02:53
|
|||
Every time I close my eyes
To dream about her
She is there
Whispering
A lover's tune
That's ours
The moon is full
So I am waiting by her locker
Fiend
Or wolf
Not her professor
Or a stalker
The clock strikes twelve
The beast has been reborn
Hands clasp together
Two ships against the storm
Can this last forever
You're my one and only hope
We can make it better
Throwing fire to the oak
We have always found a way
To fight our demons
The scar upon my back
And breasts covered in lesions
I have never had a chance to say I need you
I am your friend
A fallen angel you can preach to
The clock strikes twelve
The beast has been reborn
Hands clasp together
Two ships against the storm
Can this last forever
You're my one and only hope
We can make it better
Throwing fire to the oak
The clock strikes twelve
The beast has been reborn
Hands clasp together
Two ships against the storm
Can this last forever
You're my one and only hope
We can make it better
Throwing fire to the oak

Flashlight
02:46
|

I am a bastard
And a liar
I'm a deviant
Just walk away
I will break your heart again
I am a fever
The deceiver
I am a loser
You still call me friend
Even though I never bend
Don't fight a war that you can't win
You know me better than anyone else in this world
I hide in the dark
And there you are with a flashlight
You know me better than anyone else in this world
I hide in the dark
And there you are with a flashlight
Mom called me the devil
That's on the level
But not an excuse for being
A dangerous man
Or the freak who should be damned
I'm not a killer
Or a dealer
But I have wrecked lives
And lost my way
Too many times to say
Don't fight a war that you can't win
You know me better than anyone else in this world
I hide in the dark
And there you are with a flashlight
You know me better than anyone else in this world
I hide in the dark
And there you are with a flashlight

I don't want to grow old with you
And that is the God's honest truth
What's yours is yours
And mine is mine
'Cuz you can be a real pain sometimes
I could jump in the river
Like Spalding Gray
Set fire to my clothes
On a Broadway stage
I could drown in a pool
Or break my neck in a fall
Slit my wrists in a church
Or a bathroom stall
I don't care about us
Or the vows that we made
I've been living a lie
And I'm here to say
Goodnight and good luck
Thanks for the blues
I don't want to have kids with you
Even if our families won't approve
Don't act surprised
By the words I've said
'Cuz I've always been a black dickhead
I could jump in the river
Like Spalding Gray
Set fire to my clothes
On a Broadway stage
I could drown in a pool
Or break my neck in a fall
Slit my wrists in a church
Or a bathroom stall
I don't care about us
Or the vows that we made
I've been living a lie
And I'm here to say
Goodnight and good luck
Thanks for the blues
Goodnight and good luck
Thanks for the blues
Goodnight and good luck
Thanks for the blues
