Plan A

It's 1979
In New York City
We got whores
We got pimps
We got crime
The shit is crazy
Motherfuckers will shoot you for blow
Including strippers and fairies
I don't have any reason to go
This city has saved me
I love this town
And I will stay here forever
The island is mine
But we can rule it together
I've made up my mind
There's no plan B
We'll make our home
In NYC
It's 1979
In New York City
Every bum in the street has a nine
And they're tryin' to take me
I don't waste time near the Park
With any uptown ladies
I spend my days with the darkies
And sharks
'Cuz they're the ones that get me
I love this town
And I will stay here forever
The island is mine
But we can rule it together
I've made up my mind
There's no plan B
We'll make our home
In NYC
I love this town
And I will stay here forever
The island is mine
But we can rule it together
I've made up my mind
There's no plan B
We'll make our home
In NYC

The Praying Mantis

Night after night we go
To see Emma in a show
Tonight I will set things straight
Before it gets too late
To promise my heart
I want to her to know that I care
You know what I am
And that I could never play fair
Surprise
She's mine
I dared
Defied
What's right
Who cares?
Day after day I wait
For what I believe I must take
She never had eyes for you
Come prepared
I will too
I promised my heart
I want her to know that I care
They know who I am
And that I could never play fair
Surprise
It's time
I dared
Defy
What's right
Who cares?
I promised my heart
I want her to know that I care
They know who I am
And that I could never play fair
Surprise
It's time
I dared
Defy
What's right
Who cares?

Desperate Man
02:43

Dirt on her feet
She's got nowhere to sleep tonight
I offer warm food
Two drinks
And a room for the night
The blankets and sheets are all clean
Here's the switch for the light
I'll be right next door if you need me
And you will
I'm not that desperate she says
Don't push your luck for a fuck
I made it this far
I survived
Without you
I'm not that desperate she says
Don't push your luck for a fuck
I made it this far
I've got plans
Without you
You're just a guy in a bar
You're an open book
You expect me to spread my legs
After just one look
Are you out of your mind?
Get a grip
I don't type or cook
I'll never be your squeeze
So, get off me
Be still
I'm not that desperate she says
Don't push your luck for a fuck
I made it this far
I survived
Without you
I'm not that desperate she says
Don't push your luck for a fuck
I made it this far
I've got plans
Without you

The Demon
02:12

I want to hold you like I love you
You are a part of me that's for sure
I always thought I'd never find you
For me you've always been the cure
You keep me warm when I've been freezin'
This love is more than I can take
You know I've never stopped believing
So, let's get dressed for goodness sake
I'll whisper softly while you're sleeping
My heart is louder day by day
Your REM tells me you're dreaming
I'm on the train heading your way
She is a demon
She is a demon
She is a demon just like you
I want to heal you when you're bleedin'
This cruel world has been unkind
Where would you like to go this weekend?
I'm always losing track of time
I'll whisper softly while you're sleeping
My heart is louder day by day
Your REM tells me you're dreaming
I'm on a plane heading your way
She is a demon
She is a demon
She is a demon just like you

Moment of Truth
02:15
|
|
||
Between the two of us we've got our share of maladies
They say that love is blind but that is just a fallacy
We're workin' overtime on coping with reality
Make up your own damn mind
And stay the fuck away from me
I'm not coming home
There's a light
In the hotel room
There's a voice
It's a girl you knew
It's the song
Through the night
We are one
There are wars
And the misspent youth
In the calm
And the sky so blue
We were lost
In a dream
Realized
We've been to hell and back
And something has come over me
My busted lip
And you've got shrapnel in your ovaries
I'm talkin' crazy 'cuz a wave of guilt washed over me
Please be reasonable
I suffer from your love disease
I'm not coming home
There's a light
In the hotel room
There's a voice
It's a girl you knew
It's the song
Through the night
We are one
There are wars
And the misspent youth
In the calm
And the sky so blue
We were lost
In a dream
Realized

Heaven and Earth
03:04
|
|
||
I cry on your shoulder and pray
I don't know if I should stay
You kissed me and I'm a wreck
I'm really not at my best
No I'm not giving up
I will fight to the death
You will be by my side
And we will make them regret (the things they said)
No the truth isn't steel
It's like heaven and earth
We'd die one million times
On the eve of our birth
I'll never be able to say
All that I feel today
You held me and I confessed
I'm really not that depressed
No I'm not giving up
I will fight to the death
You will be by my side
And we will make them regret (the things they said)
No the truth isn't steel
It's like heaven and earth
We'd die one million times
On the eve of our birth
Regret (the things they said)
Regret (the things they said)
Regret (the things they said)
Regret (the things they said)

Father Time
03:50

Her blood on the flowers
Their dirt on the grave
You knew me as Adam
My real name is Gabe
Strange things had happened
On roads never paved
People were screaming
As night saved the day
And our world was crushed
The bodies were burning
Rain came and went
The seasons are turning
Ready for autumn
There's fire in the sky
I can't help but feel it
We're riding the light
The car in the driveway
There's blood on the seats
The windows are open
I see cops on the street
And our world was crushed
The bodies were burning
Rain came and went
The seasons are turning
Even if I never live to be one hundred and two
I can be thankful that I spent my last night with you
My old man I miss him
I need to go back
Home for Thanksgiving
The deck has been stacked
I wait for the signal
My cue to go down
I'm like a clock
That's being unwound
And our world was crushed
The bodies were burning
Rain came and went
The seasons are turning
He doesn't know that I care and the heartache I feel
I promise to go to him now so he'll know that it's real
And our world was crushed
The bodies were burning
Rain came and went
The seasons are turning
And our world was crushed
The bodies were burning
Rain came and went
The seasons are turning

The Way Things Go
02:07

She was the girl of my dreams
But nothing was what it seemed
Yes it was hard to believe
That I could fall for her charms
She came to me late at night
I kinda thought that she might
We got in bed and held hands
She is the reason I'm deranged
My heart was torn into a million pieces
I don't care if you don't believe it
It's just the way things go
But I'm doing better now
I brought a weapon and I will use it
For all the fuckers and all their loose lips
You promise more than you should
So, I've come here to pick a fight
She was the voice in my head
At times I wished I was dead
That bitch she ruined my life
Thank God she isn't my wife
I've got a couple demands
And I'm taking a stand
Life and it's best laid plans
She was rotten to the core
My heart was torn into a million pieces
I don't care if you don't believe it
It's just the way things go
But I'm doing better now
I brought a weapon and I will use it
For all the fuckers and all their loose lips
You promise more than you should
So, I've come here to pick a fight

Beach Stars
03:17

|

You had your backpack
And I had my lunch box
We had been to Rome
And drank Coke on rooftops
We kissed
You were sound asleep
I was on my way to bed
The lamppost lights the street
Our cat beside your head
I pray that the Lord will give your soul to me instead
You are my everything
My dream
I want to be
Your ray of sunshine
One day we'll see
Beach stars at midnight
We kissed
You were sound asleep
I was on my way to bed
The lamppost lights the street
Our cat beside your head
I pray that the Lord will give your soul to me instead
You are my everything
My dream
I watched you run
You swim like an angel
The ocean waves
Splash against your navel
We kissed
You were sound asleep
I was on my way to bed
The lamppost lights the street
Our cat beside your head
I pray that the Lord will give your soul to me instead
You are my everything
My dream
The future called
So, I built a spaceship
Goin' just as far
As it will take us
We kissed
You were sound asleep
I was on my way to bed
The lamppost lights the street
Our cat beside your head
I pray that the Lord will give your soul to me instead
You are my everything
My dream
My partner in make-believe
And I fall
On my knees
And say
Please don't go
And I fall
On my knees
And say
Please don't go
And I fall
On my knees
And say
Please don't go away

The River Park Scene
02:49

Why don't we just sit and talk?
The river is close we could go for a walk
I tried my best to be me
But my words are hard to believe
You've always been more than a friend
But all things come to an end
I know we're done
I'm resigned
I won't waste tears
Or your time
You're free to do as you choose
I'll never call and that's the truth
We should have gone to the beach
I'd love to drown in the sea
We never went to Japan
But I'm no longer your man
You've always been more than a friend
But all things come to an end
I know we're done
I'm resigned
I won't waste tears
Or your time
You're free to do as you choose
I'll never call and that's the truth
I know we're done
I'm resigned
I won't waste tears
Or your time
You're free to do as you choose
This time I won't chase after you

The Wolf in the Asylum

Where I've been
Well, that's my business
Where I'm goin'
What do you care?
I have strayed away from Jesus
My faith dissolved into the air
I wanted life to be worth living
I wanted love
For you the same
I will never be forgiven
The past is future once again
I'm gonna walk
Better run
And don't stop until you get there
I'm gonna walk
Better run
And don't stop until you get there
Where I've been
Well, that's my secret
What I've seen
Could fill a book
I made a pact with our friend Satan
'Cuz he knows I am a crook
My life has never had much meaning
Don't worry I'm not feeling sad
There's nothing left here worth believing
I'm way past hope
Stark raving mad
I'm gonna walk
Better run
And don't stop until you get there
I'm gonna walk
Better run
And don't stop until you get there
Where I've been
The people see me
And they run across the street
'Cuz where I'm from they know the evil
That I hide under my sleeve
I will raid the angel's steeple
And they will know my name is death
I'm the terror in the evening
A lie you never will forget
I'm gonna walk
Better run
And don't stop until you get there
I'm gonna walk
Better run
And don't stop until you get there
I'm gonna walk
Better run
And don't stop until you get there
I'm gonna walk
Better run
And don't stop until you get there

I'm going out for a bit
And I will take my time
I've had enough of your shit
I'm sick of hearing your lies
I'm losing my patience
This could all collapse
And just for your information
You are not built to last
And there's no denying that
The damage is done
I'm takin' the high road
And where I'm goin' there's no return address
I want to say goodbye
Make it quick
Here's the kiss off
Go fuck yourself
And no regrets
You thought that I gave a damn
Well, ain't life a bitch
I guess you don't understand
"Let's call it quits"
I'm losing my patience
This could all collapse
And just for your information
You are not built to last
And there's no denying that
The damage is done
I'm takin' the high road
And where I'm goin' there's no return address
I want to say goodbye
Make it quick
Here's the kiss off
Go fuck yourself
And no regrets
The damage is done
I'm takin' the high road
And where I'm goin' there's no return address
I want to say goodbye
Make it quick
Here's the kiss off
Go fuck yourself
And no regrets
