I'll take a nicotine, caffeine, sugar fix / Jesus don't ya get tired of turnin' trick / But when your innocence dies / You'll find the blues / Seems all our heroes were born to lose / Just walkin' through time / You believe this heat / Another empty house another dead end street / Gonna rest my bones an sit for a spell / This side of heaven this close to hell

Right next door to hell / Why don't you write a letter to me yeah / I said I'm right next door to hell / And so many eyes are on me / Right next door to hell / I got nowhere else to be / Right next door to hell / Feels like the walls are closing in on me

My mama never really said much to me / She was much too young and scared ta be / Hell 'Freud' might say that's what I need / But all I really ever get is greed / An most my friends they feel the same / Hell we don't even have ourselves to blame / But times are hard and thrills are cheaper / As your arms get shorter / Your pockets get deeper

Right next door to hell / Why don't you write a letter to me yeah / I said I'm right next door to hell / And so many eyes are on me / Right next door to hell / I never thought this is where I'd be / But Im right next door to hell / Thinkin' time'll stand still for me

Fuck You
Bitch

Not bad kids, just stupid ones / Yeah thought we'd own the world / An gettin' used was havin' fun / I said we're not sad kids just lucid ones yeah / Flowin' through life not collectin' anyone / So much out there / Still so much to see / Time's too much to handle / Time's too much for me / It drives me up the walls / Drives me out of my mind / Can you tell me what this means, huh?

He lost his mind today / He left it out back on the highway / On "65"

She loved him yesterday / Yesterday's over / I said okay / That's all right / Time moves on / That's the way / We live an hope to see the next day / That's all right

Sometimes these things they are so easy / Sometimes these things they are so cold / Sometimes these things just seem to / Rip you right in two / Oh no man don't let 'em get ta you

She loved him yesterday / He laid her sister / She said ok / An that's all right / Buried her things today / Way back out deep / Behind the driveway / And that's all right

Sometimes these women are so easy / Sometimes these women are so cold / Sometimes these women seem to / Rip you right in two / Only if you let 'em get to you

Ya get out on your own / And you take all that you own / And you forget about your home / And then you're just fuckin' gone

There's no logic here today / Do as you got to, go your own way / I said that's right / Time's short your life's your own / And in the end / We are just

Dust n' bones

When you were young / And your heart was an open book / You used to say live and let live / You know you did / You know you did / You know you did / But if this ever changin' world / In which we live in / Makes you give in and cry / Say live and let die / Live and let die

What does it matter to ya / When ya got a job to do ya got to do it well / You got to give the other fella hell

You used to say live and live / You know you did / You know you did / You know you did / But if this ever changin world / In which we live in / Makes you give in and cry / Say live and let die / Live and let die

Talk to me softly / There's something in your eyes / Don't hang your head in sorrow / And please don't cry / I know how you feel inside I've / I've been there before / Something's changin' inside you / And don't you know

Chorus
Don't you cry tonight / I still love you baby / Don't you cry tonight / Don't you cry tonight / There's a heaven above you baby / And don't you cry tonight

Give me a whisper / And give me a sigh / Give me a kiss before you tell me goodbye / Don't you take it so hard now / And please don't take it so bad / I'll still be thinkin' of you / And the times we had baby

Chorus

And please remember that I never lied / And please remember / How I felt inside now honey / You gotta make it your own way / But you'll be alright now sugar / You'll feel better tomorrow / Come the morning light now baby

Chorus
And don't you cry / Don't you ever cry / Don't you cry tonight / Baby maybe someday / Don't you cry / Don't you ever cry / Don't you cry / Tonight

Kickin' back in the shadows / Got no need for the light / Who's sorry now old timer / Look at how you've spent your life / Scroungin' for change / To put some money in your pocket / My how scratch doe burn / Laughin' at the suckers as you pissed it away

But I got the time and I got the muscle / I got the need to lay it all on the line / I ain't afraid of your smoke screen hustle / It's a perfect crime / Motherfucker it's a perfect crime / I said it's perfect

Keep the demons down / And drag the skeletons out / I got a blind man followin' me in chains / I said he's fun to watch / When the world has stopped / And I think he's got somethin' to say / You wanna fuck with me don't fuck with me / 'Cause I'm what you'll be so don't fuck with me / If you had better sense / You'd just step aside from the bad side of me / Don't fuck wit' da bad side o' me / Stay away fromthe bad side o' me / Don't fuck wit' da bad side

Ten minutes 1:09 and counting

Ostracized but that's all right / I was thinkin' about somethin' myself

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

Call on everybody who's lost last rites / Said it's better if you locked 'em away / Runnin through the visions / At the speed of light / Won't ya let me be / Motherfucker just let me be / Don't ya know ya better let me

Perfect crime / Goddamn it it's a perfect crome / Motherfucker it's a perfect crime / Don't cha know / It's a perfect crime

I tried so hard just to get through to you / But your head's so far / From the realness of truth / Was it just a come on in the dark / Wasn't meant to last long / I think you've worn your welcome honey / I'll just see you along as I sing you this song

Time can pass slowly, things always change / Your day's been numbered / And I've read your last page / You was just a temporary lover / Honey you ain't the first / Lots of others came before you woman / Said but you been the worst / Say you been the worst

So goodbye to you girl / So long farewell / I can't hear you cryin' / Your jivin's been hell / So look for me walkin' / Down your street at night / I'll be in with another / Deep down inside

Deep down inside

I can't stop thinkin' / Thinkin' bout sinkin' / Sinkin' down into my bed / I call my mother / She's just a cunt now / She said I'm sick in the head / She said you ain't special / So who you foolin' / Don't try ta give me a line / But I can't stop thinkin' bout seein' ya / One more time / (Oh no) / But I already left you / And you're better off left behind

It's a bad obsession / It's always messin' / It's always messin' my mind / It's a bad obsession / It's always messin' / It's always my mind

Too bad you're fucked up

I used to be wasted / Always trying to take it / Take it down into my vein / I call the doctor / He's just another / He said I'm sick in the brain / He said you ain't special / So who you foolin' / Don't try ta give me a line / But I can't stop thinkin' bout doin' it / One more time / (Oh no) / But I already left you / And you're better off left behind / (Oh yeah) / Aw it's a bad obsession / It's always messin' / It's always messin' my mind / It's a bad obsession / It's always messin' / It's always messin' my mind

So bad...

Boy

It's a / It's a / Heads up / It's a bad obsession / It's always messin' / It's always messin' my mind / Now it's a bad obsession / It's always messin' / It's always messin' my mind

But I can't stop thinkin' bout doin' it / One more time / (Oh no) / It's a bad obsession / And you're always messin' my mind / See I already left you / And you're better off left behind / Uh uh... no

Maybe you'll do better next time / Punk !!

Oh baby, pretty baby / Oh honey, you let me down honey / I ain't playin' childhood games no more / I said it's time for you to even the score / So stake your claim, your clame to fame / But baby call another name / When you feel the fire, and taste the flame

Chorus
Back off, back off bitch / Down in the gutter dyin' in the ditch / You better, back off, back off bitch / Face of an angel with the love of a witch / Back off, back off bitch / Back off, back off bitch

Makin' love / Cheap heartbreaker, broken backed / Nasty ballbreaker / Stay out of my bed / Outta my head / If it's lovin' you, I'm better off dead

Chorus

Emotions ripped, gone on a binge / Life lipped, I said you're off the hinge / Tellin' lies of such fame and glory / I don't even wanna hear your story

Chorus

It's such a pity that you're such a bitch / Back off, back off bitch / It's time to burn burn the witch / Back off, back off bitch / Back off, back off bitch / Back off, back off bitch / Bitch / Bitch / Bitch / Bitch / Hey wha'd'ya think he's tryin' to say there anyway? / I think it's something each person's / S'possed to take in their own special way / Fuckin' bitch

Found a head and an arm in da garbage can / Don't know why I'm here / Livin' on the run for oh so long / I gotta go collect / Double Talkin' Jive / Get the money motherfucker / 'Cause I got no more patience / Double Talkin' / -I got (lies)- / No more patience man

Back in town an'a all new friends / They sayin' how ya been? / Fucked up and out of place / That's how I felt back then / Double Talkin' Jive / Get the money motherfucker / 'Cause I got no more patience / Double Talkin' / -I got (lies)- / No more patience man / You dig what I'm sayin'!

When I look into your eyes / I can see a love restrained / But darlin' when I hold you / Don't you know I feel the same

'Cause nothin' lasts forever / And we both know hearts can change / And it's hard to hold a candle / In the cold november rain

We've been through this such a long long time / Just tryin' to kill the pain

But lovers always come and lovers always go / An no one's really sure who's lettin' go today / Walking away

If we could take the time to lay it on the line / I could rest my head / Just knowing that you were mine / All mine / So if you want to love me / Then darlin' don't refrain / Or I'll just end up walkin' / In the cold november rain

Do you need some time... on your own / Do you need some time... all alone / Everybody needs some time... on their own / Don't you know you need some time... all alone

I know it's hard to keep an open heart / When even friends seem out to harm you / But if you could heal a broken heart / Wouldn't time be out to charm you

Sometimes I need some time... on my own / Sometimes I need some time... all alone / Everybody needs some time... on their own / Don't you know you need some time... all alone

And when your fears subside / And shadows still remain / I know that you can love me / When there's no one left to blame / So nevermind the darkness / We still can find a way / 'Cause nothin' lasts forever / Even cold november rain

Don't ya think that you need somebody / Don't ya think that you need someone / Everybody needs somebody / You're not the only one / You're not the only one

You know you're all alone / Your friends they aren't at home / Everybody's gone to the garden / As you look into the trees / You can look but you don't see / The flowers seem to tease you at the garden / Everybody's there, but you don't seem to care / What's it with you man, and this garden

Turned into my worst phobia / A crazy man's utopia / If you're lost no one can show ya, / But it sure was glad to know ya / Only poor boys take a chance / On the garden's song and dance / Feel her flowers as they wrap around / But only smart boys do without

You can find it all inside / No need to wrestle with your pride / No you ain't losing your mind / You're just in the garden / They can lead you to yourself / Or you can throw it on the shelf / But you know you can look inside / For the garden

I wasn't really scared / Lost my virginity there / To a gypsy with blonde hair / But now no one seems to care / Like a mouse inside a maze / Wandering round 4 daze / With a smile upon my face / I never wanna leave this place / Only poor boys take a chance / On this garden's song and dance / Feel her flowers as they wrap around / But only smart boys do without / Turned into my worst phobia / It's a crazy man's utopia / If you're lost no one can show ya / But it sure was glad to know ya / Bye bye / So long, bye bye / It's glad to know ya / Bye bye / Bye bye / Aw... so long

It's a critical solution / And the east coast got the blues / It's a mass of confussion / As the lies they sell to you

You've got a glass jawed toothache / Of a mental disease / An they are runnin' round back / See 'em line up on their knees / 'Cause the kiss ass sycophants / Throwin' penance at your feet / When they got nowhere to go / Watch 'em come in off the streets / While they're bangin' out front / Inside they are slammin' to the crunch / Go on an throw me to the lions / And the whole damn screamin' bunch / 'Cause the pissed-off rip-offs / 'R' everywhere you turn / Tell me how a generation's / Ever s'posed to learn / This fire is burning and it's out of control / It's not a problem you can stop / It's rock n' roll

I read it on a wall / It went straight to my head / It said "Dance to the tension / Of a world on edge" / We got racial violence / And who'll cast their first stone / / And sex is used anyway it can be / Sometimes when I look out / It's hard to see the day / It's a feelin' you can have it / It's not mine to take away

Lost in the garden of eden / Said we're lost in the garden of eden / And there's no one's gonna believe this / But we're lost in the garden of eden / This fire is burnin' and it's out of control / It's not a problem you can stop / It's rock n' roll / Suck on that

Looking through this point of view / There's no way I'm gonna fit in / Don't ya tell me what my eyess see / Don't ya tell me who to believe in / I ain't superstitious / But I know when something's wrong / I've been draggin' my heels / With a bitch called hope / Let the undercurrent drag me along

Lost in the garden of eden / Said we're lost in the garden of eden / And there's no one's gonna believe this / But we're lost in the garden of eden

Most organized religions make / A mockery of humanity / Our goverments are dangerous / And out of control / The garden of eden is just another graveyard / Said if they had someone to buy it / Said I'm sure they'd sell my soul / This fire is burnin' and it's out of control / It's not a problem you can stop / It's rock n' roll / Lost in the garden of eden / ( An we ain't talkin' about no / Poison apple or some missin' rib ya hear) / Said we're lost in the garden of eden / Said there's no one's gonna believe this / Said we're lost in the garden of eden / This fire is burnin' and it's out of control / It's not a problem you can stop / It's rock n' roll

Don't damn me when I speak a piece of my mind / 'Cause silence isn't golden / When I'm holding it inside / 'Cause I've been where I have been / An I've seen what I have seen / I put the pen to the paper / 'Cause it's all a part of me

Be it a song or casual conversation / To hold my tongue speaks / Of quiet reservations / Your words once heard / They can place you in a faction / My words may disturb / But at least there's a reaction

Sometimes I wanna kill / Sometimes I wanna die / Sometimes I wanna destroy / Sometimes I wanna cry / Sometimes I could get even / Sometimes I could give up / Sometimes I could give / Sometimes I never give a fuck

It's only for a while / I hope you understand / I never wanted this to happen / Didn't want to be a man / So I hid inside my world / I took what I could find / I cried when I was lonely / I fell down when I was blind

But don't damn me / When I speak a piece of my mind / 'Cause silence isn't golden / When I'm holding it inside / 'Cause I've been where I have been / An I've seen what I have seen / I put the pen to the paper / 'Cause it's all a part of me

How can I ever satisfy you / An how can I ever make you see / That deep inside we're all somebody / An it don't matter who you wanna be / But now I gotta smile / I hope you comprehend / For this man can say it happened / 'Cause this child has been condemned / So I stepped into your world / I kicked you in the mind / An I'm the only witness / To the nature of my crime

But look at what we've done / To the innocent and young / Whoa listen to who's talking / 'Cause we're not the only ones / The trash collected by the eyes / And dumped into the brain / Said it tears into our / Conscious thoughts / You tell me who's to blame

I know you don't wanna hear me cryin' / An I know you don't wanna hear me deny / That your satisfaction lies in your illusions / But your delusions are yours and not mine / We take for granted we know the whole story / We judge a book by its cover / And read what we want / Between selected lines

Don't hail me / An don't idolize the ink / Or I've failed in my intentions / Can you find the missing link / Your only validation is living your own life / Vicarious existence is a fucking waste of time / So I send this song to the offended / I said what I meant and I've never pretended / As so many others do intending just to please / If I damned your point of view / Could you turn the other cheek

But don't damn me / When I speak a piece of my mind / 'Cause silence isn't golden / When I'm holding it inside / 'Cause I've been where I have been / An I've seen what I have seen / I put the pen to the paper / 'Cause it's all a part of me / Don't damn me / I said don't damn me / I said don't hail me / Don't damn me

Diamonds and fast cars / Money to burn / I got my head in the clouds / I got these thoughts to churn / Got my feet in the sand / I got a house on the hill / I got a headache like a mother / Twice the price of my thrills / An it's a cold day, / It's a continental drift / I said this traffic is hell / Can you give me a lift / An I'll try to paint a story / Got your pictures to tell / Yeah you got to make a living / With what you bring yourself to sell

I got some genuine imitation bad apples / Free sample for your peace o' mind / Only $9.95 / I got my camera back from customs / Got my law fees up to date / Hell they musta seen me comin' / Ain't this life so fuckin' great

Chorus
When the shit hit the fan / It was all I could stand / Yeah, well I'm a frequent flyer / My body's breathing while it can
But what I don't understand is that / My world ain't gettin' no brighter / If I could touch the sky / Well I would float on by / While everybody's talkin' / Hell I'm just another guy / If it were up to me / I'd say just leave me be / Why let one bad apple / Spoil the whole damn bunch

Gold and caviar / Now why'nt you pour my apathy / I'd have all my bases covered / If I could teach my hands to see / But now we're down in the deep end / Where they'd love to watch you drown / I said your laundry could use washing / We'll hang it up all over town / I said Hollywood's like a dryer / An we're down on Sunset Strip / An you'll be suckin' down the Clorox / 'Til your life's all nice and crisp

Chorus 2 x

Why let one bad apple / Spoil the whole damn bunch / BOY!!

Sick of this life / Not that you'd care / I'm not the only one with / whom these feelings I share

Nobody understands / quite why we're here / We're searchin' for answers / That never appear

But maybe if I looked real hard I'd / I'd see your tryin' too / To understand this life / That we're all goin' through / (Then when she said she was gonna like wreck my car...I didn't know what to do)

Sometimes I feel like I'm beatin' a dead horse / An I don't know why you'd be bringin' me down / I'd like to think that our love's worth a tad more / It may sound funny but you'd think by now / I'd be smilin' / I guess some things never change / Never change

I met an old cowboy / I saw the look in his eyes / Somethin' tells me he's been here before / 'Cause experience makes you wise / I was only a small child / When the thought first came to me / That I'm a son of a gun and the gun of a son / That brought back the devil in me

Sometimes I feel like I'm beatin' a dead horse / An I don't know why you'd be bringin' me down / I'd like to think that our love's worth a tad more / It may sound funny but you'd think by now / I'd be smilin' / I guess some things never change / Never change

I ain't quite what you'd call an old soul / Still wet behind the ears / I been around this track a couple o' times / But now the dust is startin' to clear / Oh yeah!!!

Sometimes I feel like I'm beatin' a dead horse / An I don't know why you'd be bringin' me down / I'd like to think that our love's worth a tad more / It may sound funny but you'd think by now / I'd be smilin' / Ooh yeah, I'd be smilin' / No way I'd be smilin' / Ooh smilin'

Sick of this life / Not that you'd care / I'm not the only one with / whom these feelings I share

Hey you caught me in a coma / And I don't think I wanna / Ever come back to this...world again / Kinda like it in a coma / 'Cause no one's ever gonna / Oh, make me come back to this... world again / Now I feel as if I'm floating away / I can't feel all the pressure / And I like it this way / But my body's callin' / My body's callin' / Won't ya come back to this world again / Suspended deep in a sea of black / I've got the light at the end / I've got the bones on the mast / Well I've gone sailin' / I've gone sailin' / I could leave so easily / While friends are calling back to me / I said they're / They're leaving it all up to me / When all I needed was clarity / And someone to tell me / What the fuck is goin' on / Goddamn it! / Slippin' farther an farther away / It's a miracle how long we can stay / In a world our minds created / In a world that's full of shit

Help me / Help me / Help me / Help me / Bastard

Please understand me / I'm climbin' through the wreackage / Of all my twisted dreams / But this cheap investigation just can't stifle all my screams / And I'm waitin' at the crossroads / Waiting for you / Waiting for you / Where are you?

No one's gonna bother me anymore / No one's gonna mess with my head no more / I can't understand what all the fightin's for / But it's so nice here down off the shore / I wish you could see this / 'Cause there's nothing to see / It's peaceful here and it's fine with me / Not like the world where I used to live / I never really wanted to live

Zap him again / Zap the son of a bitch again

Ya live your life like it's a coma / So won't you tell me why we'd wanna / With all the reasons you give it's / It's kinda hard to believe / But who am I to tell you that I've seen / Any reason why you should stay / Maybe we'd be better off / Without you anyway

You got a one way ticket / On your last chance ride / Gotta one way ticket / To your suicide / Gotta one way ticket
An there's no way out alive / An all this crass communication / That has left you in the cold / Isn't much for consolation / When you feel so weak and old / But is home is where the heart is / Then there's stories to be told / No you don't need a doctor / No one else can heal your soul

Got your mind in submission / Got your life on the line / But nobody pulled the trigger / They just stepped aside / They be down by the water / While you watch 'em waving goodbye / They be callin' in the morning / They be hangin' on the phone / They be waiting for an answer / When you know nobody's home / And when the bell's stopped ringing
It was nobody's fault but your own / There were always ample warnings / There were always subtle signs / And you would have seen it comin' / But we gave you too much time / And when you said / That no one's listening / Why'd your best friend drop a dime / Sometimes we get so tired of waiting / For a way to spend our time / An "It's so easy" to be social / "It's so easy" to be cool / Yeah it's easy to be hungry / When you ain't got shit to lose / And I wish that I could help you / With what you hope to find / But I'm still out here waiting / Watching reruns of my life / When you reach the point of breaking / Know it's gonna take some time / To heal the broken memories / That another man would need / Just to survive
