ROAD RASH

Take a walk outside it's a nice day for a drive automotivation
The air is getting clear and the getting near for us to roll
Gotta watch my style cause god it's almost over
Got a little more room to try it hopefully

I've walked this earth for twenty years and now my mind is floating...
out to sea...

Gonna hit the van man you just don't understand total aggravation
Rolling down the highway doing ninety going my way in control
Gotta watch those corners in the stretch of danger a problem could arise eventually
I've walked this earth for twenty years and now my mind is floating...
out to sea...

Every time I look into the north wind I can't find meaning just a rhyme
I don't know but I've been told that good things come with time... Let's go!




THE GENTLEMAN

What do you think of me do you really want to see a piece of me
that I hide something that's hard to find what's behind your smile
is it really worth my while what's beneath your ton-bed skin open up
and let me in do you really want to feel something that is so unreal
do you really want to be the one and only one for me when we go to sleep tonight
I'll have different goals in sight tell you what you want to hear have another drink my dear...
I'm not going to try to hurt you
I'll be honest kind and true
I'll take you out and treat you right
like a decent man would do now
i got you in my grasp do not fear my checkered past
have you now begun to see this diabolic side of me in your mind
I'm always there I guess you though I really cared now it's time to say goodbye
you bit the hook believed the lie I'm not going to try to hurt you
I'll be honest kind and true
I'll take you out and treat you right
like a decent man would do gonna modify my behavior
to make you think I'm your savior now that I'm inside your head
I'm gonna use you probably abuse you should have listened to what your mom said
I'm not going to try to hurt you
I'll be honest kind and true
I'll take you out and treat you right like a decent man would do (yeah right!)




NO HOPE

Take a bottle, drink it down your eyes are burning red
your gonna end up in the ground now
you're fallen you can't hond on you got no hope
you're fucking on dope your dreams are all but gone
you do not seem to care it makes no sense to me
everytime you try to take a look you still can't see
the you've monster you've become the fucked up things
you've done nuerotic paranioa are you having fun?
you ain't going nowhere you got no chance to see there's no way home
I know it's hard to live that way I know it's hard to break the daily chain
its in you head pshychosomatic wake up one day you're an addict
you ain't going nowhere you got no chance to see there's no way home


ONE SHOT

Poor man cry out to his god his dying and hungry
rich man have a heart attack worrying about his money
he alienates himself from his family and points the blame in some other direction
the other never had no one he only needed affection
from one end of the world to another I hear them say
they need to find a piece of inner protection
a remedy to take their hurt away
for in their on minds they failed you see them fallen one shot left at redemtion
has got them calling


MACHO NACHOS

Lost sight of all you dreamed of
the force that swept you away
the leaves were changing and the tree was rearranging
the season had swallowed the day
you want everything unfair it may seem your eyes have been closed for so long
we tried to make the break
what about give and take some times will come when you are wrong

I sense the new day has fallen
I see the trouble in your eyes
the tree will fall I'm not crying at all it's no suprise...
Your jaded eyes !

I hope you found the road you wanted
I could not find the words to say
the lies were spoken and the promises broken a wave of illusion dismay
you want everything unfair it may seem your will has been gone for so long
we tried to make a break what about give & take the rights not outweighing the wrong


MONKEYS

Monkeys watch out for them monkeys
those crazy big guys drinking downtown
Monkeys watch out for them monkeys
They'll knock you right off your feet onto the ground
They'll take pleasure being hormonally insane
They'll find solace knocking you right upside the brain


ECONOLINE

I heard you call my name
but now it's not the same
when i hear your voice half way across the country
locked up in the van you'll never understand
this hole inside me I have got responsibilities
you have got them too I'm trying but what am I supposed to do
every time i drift off in your blue thinking about the angels voice
on the phone I get that sinking feeling
I'm never going home sometimes I let myself get so down
I can barely hold my head up to say I'm alive and well and I'm coming home someday
I'm on the outside looking in at what you said to me
your words soft spoken in dream another night
I saw your face you smiled at me just an illusion it may seem...
get it out of my head and so I'm stranded here and there's so much more to fear
but i know it will be over someday everytime i think about your soft smile
dreaming about the girl i need to see i feel a bit uneasy the dark is upon me
sometimes i myself be afraid if the next days going to fall
and then looking in at what you said to me your soft spoken in a dream
another night alone I saw your face you smiled at me just an illusion it may seem...
get it out of my head


THE JOUST

We fight alone up in a covert operation wade
through the litigation from the dark side of the line
look alive stand tall now do not reveal your secrets
generations of achievements shall not be left behind

I never knew there was a hidden source of power
the ancients built this tower that we all must keep alive
it's the same alliance that brought us to this notion
like the movement in the ocean
all directions we will strive

i hear you you feel me
a force that's so strong we will always see
i need you i bleed you
to a world that's far from free
in the hidden shadows of erveryday battles stands a man


BETTY

you did me over played me to the end
you took everything i had no feelings left to spend
you're not a friend you're just a fiend
it's time I opened my eyes to set
you my darling don't deserve my sympathy
you broke my heart spit on grandma's grave
tore my life apart never left the same
before you waste more of my time let me give you little piece of my mind...
I'm sending you down the road & I'll be fine...
ruhibonol you gave to me left me in a tub of ice a note & no kidney
you soiled my sheets & you skinned my cat you stole my teeth & you pawned my gat


APATHETIC

how can you call this land we walk on free two centuries of deception
filled with ignorance and greed a system put in place dollars bear their face
equal rights those who can afford to pay content to believe
what they say they say democracy I scream a scam big bucks from big business
buy uncle sam no conspirasy it's apathy we the people can't seem
to just open our eyes content to believe all their lies
hey they gotta go how can we take back what was ours you gotta know that
they are doing to you kids die for their country but
they can't buy beer they'll outlaw what's natural motive unclear
laws are put into place their morals in my face but
we got an ace up our sleeve opression plants rebellion's seed
now the time has come to say fuck what they've said what
they've done yeah we're young and dumb but as a sume we are worth more than one


MEDIUM UNWELL

in a world where logic and proportion dies
the dark side laughing as it lights the night with its evil eyes
it comes around when you are least expecting it to strike
it grabs you by the neck and takes your soul with all its might
the voices haunting me
the fear is here come around and see
no slumber anymore demons in disguise knocking at my door
a small piece of advice... ignore!

my head is hurting my eyes are growing cold
the strength increases when it fired a shot into its hold
the burning version of a man whose lost his will to live
the fight is over when there is nothing left to have or give


POPCORN

another starry night I lay down by the evening fire
take a look back at today
down to the waters edge I let myself fall back
in the waves will wash it away

another year is gone and I know it's been so long
I'm still around and it's okay
my body's aching the time it's taking
don't believe I've got another chance to say I'm gonna make it today

I walk back slowly to the sand and lay my head down
thinking about what there is to do
the night sky high above the land is keeping me safe
the fire in the distance too
