Alternate Side
03:23
|
|||
|
VERSE:
Been lost for days - never coming home
Strangers look the same - boiled blood and chrome
You're always fighting for your bones and blood
Your bullets hit me with a beautiful thud
CHORUS:
Oh no, don't you know
Ooooh baby, what I'm dreamin about?
Whoa Whoa Whoa, I gotta go
But don't you come a'knockin upon my door
VERSE:
Rain beats on my back, with a silent thunder sound
Dusty 4 wheel drive, lost in muddy ground
Trampled underfoot, when your white dreams gone bad
Heard not understood, this is just a fad
CHORUS:
Oh no, don't ya know
Oh yeah baby, what I'm dreamin about?
My my my, I'mma let it slide
Cause don't you know a thing about your alternate side?
BRIDGE
VERSE:
Drumming out of time, vicious wanderlust
Singing out of rhyme, smoking angel dust
Trampled underfoot, try, try try
Heard not undersood, feel like I'm gonna die
Oh no, don't ya know
Oh yeah baby, what I'm dreamin about?
My my my, I'mma let it slide
Cause don't you know a thing about your alternate side?

Poor Man Talks

|
VERSE:
Poor man talking trash, burning down my city
Poor woman, petty cash, burning down my town
Poor baby, won't you listen to me?
Find your own way home, won't you hear my plea?
CHORUS:
Listen to poor man, to the poor man talk
Listen to the wise man, watch him walk
VERSE:
Poor man trying hard, to make a livin'
Poor woman, show your scars, let him see who's boss.
Poor baby, won't you listen to me?
Find your own way home, won't you let it be?
CHORUS:
Listen to poor man, to the poor man talk
Listen to the wise man, watch him walk

Let It Go
03:54
|
|||
|
VERSE:
You walk towards the crowd, try to scream her name out loud
But she cannot hear a sound
You say what he wants to hear, just to keep from feeling fear
The truth is coming near
CHORUS:
La la la la la la, let it go my sweet Marie
Cause' its taking much to long for me
La la la la la la, let me know which way to go
Cause' its not so bad to end up alone
VERSE:
Remember all the times, that my love would give you all of the signs
But this time your affection left me blind
My love is in not in vain, it's just a tragedy and shame
This song will take the brunt of the blame
CHORUS:
La la la la la la, let it go my sweet Marie
Cause' its taking much to long for me
La la la la la la, let me know which way to go
Cause' its not so bad to end up alone
BRIDGE:
Shouldn't believe it, cause' I'm not giving up
Shouldn't believe it, that this is all I got
Shouldn't believe it, I'm not giving up on you, girl
CHORUS:
La la la la la la, let it go my sweet Marie
Cause' its taking much to long for me
La la la la la la, let me know which way to go
Cause' its not so bad to end up alone
OUTRO:
La la la la la la, la la la la la la la
La la la la la la la la
La la la la la la, let me know which way to go
Cause' its not so bad to end up alone

Our Long Goodbye
03:42
|
|||
|
VERSE:
When you're feeling down out - on your own
Restless sleeping in an - empty home, all alone
I think you're spending too much time - inside your mind
Those thoughts can ruin any mood - the devil's brew
VERSE:
Trying hard to do the thing - that certain thing
Never knowing what - tomorrow brings, a diamond ring
I think you should reward yourself - like no one else
So keep us right behind the door - forever more
PRECHORUS:
Tell me in a heartfelt way,
It just makes me want to stay
CHORUS:
I know it's hard to see me give the eye
So step right back and shout your battle cry
I want you to kiss me hard and wish me fond goodnight
When we say our long goodbye
VERSE:
When you're counting finals straws 3, 2, 1
Working late and feeling overdone - the brutal crunch
I think you could do anything - anything you want
Lets get the hell right out of here on a final haunt
VERSE:
Trying to hard to blow your mind - and leave behind
Those thoughts that come from yesteryear - disapear
I'm thinking that you're worth the fight, for all my life
So keep us right behind the door, forever more
PRECHORUS:
Tell me in a heartfelt way
It will make my day
CHORUS:
I know it's hard to see me give the eye
So step right back and shout your battle cry
I want you to kiss me hard and wish me fond goodnight
When we say our long goodbye
When we say our long goodbye
CHORUS:
I know it's hard to see me give the eye
So step right back and shout your battle cry
I want you to kiss me hard and wish me fond goodnight
When we say our long goodbye
When we say our long goodbye
When we say our long goodbye

Salutations (Live)
08:08
|
|||
|
VERSE:
Heaven help me, I'm a sinner,
Just the winner of the game.
Salutations to the unknown,
The introduction never stuck.
VERSE:
Lord please help me, I'm a trickster,
I survive through sabotage.
Salutations to the alpha,
A Deception changed my luck.
CHORUS:
And I don't wanna set the world aflame
I play the part of someone to blame
Don't admit it but you play my game
Pleased to meet you, Scapegoat's the name
VERSE:
Devil help me, I'm a killer
Destroying lives in every sense.
Salutations to the scoundrel,
Murder is a work of art.
CHORUS:
And I don't wanna set the world aflame
I play the part of someone to blame
Don't admit it but you play my game
Pleased to meet you, Scapegoat's the name
BRIDGE:
As I'm walkin' to and fro I fell into a sinkhole
And I'm fallin' as I'm shoutin' --for someone
Salutations to my mortality!
If I die before I fall, I pray the lord to take it all
Indistinct from kitchen sinks, at least I think
Salutations to deliverance!
Coffee, tea, and jamboree, and cigarettes and whiskey
Oyster forks and popping corks ---and blah blah blah
Salutations to celebrations!
Future guys and one-eyed lies will look back fondly,
At the wonders I have done with you in mind
OUTRO:
Now it's time to bid farewell, as I lie entombed in hell
Sinners, tricksters, killers, and saints, I leave to you to the world's complaints
Salutations to the scapegoat
Salutations to the scapegoat
Salutations to the scapegoat
Salutations to the scapegoat
