"Gone"

"Gone"


It was a cloudy night,
or so it looked to me,
I felt so lost,
I couldn't say why.
I needed strength to change my mind
but those ghosts stick to me like glue, hating life,
believing I was no good

It was a darkness all my own
a song played on the radio,
but it went straight to my heart
I carried it with me
until the darkness was gone...

It was a cloudy night,
or so it looked to me,
I felt so lost,
I couldn't say why
I built this cloud to live in,
It was a bunch of lies in my mind.
the world wants me to believe it
so I had to change my mind.

It was a darkness all my own
a song played on the radio,
but it went straight to my heart
I carried it with me
until the darkness was gone...

I built this cloud I can break it
The world can’t change how I feel
Because I know it’s a lie
My heart is real

Gone...

"Gravity"

"Gravity"


I hear the highway in the distance getting louder everyday.
Yeah, I put up resistance, the world spins anyway.
The night is moving out there, someone’s dancing it away.
Someone’s feeling lonely someplace fighting for a brighter day.

Gravity is pulling down,
Keep standing on your ground.
Shadows move across a desert.
Follow the moon over the sand.
Footsteps echo down.
Listen to the way they land.

Ooh, baby.
I just want to look into your eyes.
Ooh, baby.
I could see you all the time.

I feel the cold snow is falling, it drifts over the land.
There are voices out there calling, reaching for a final stand.
All these signals in the darkness, I can’t believe it’s true.
A million waves crash on this ocean. How did mine crash into you?

Gravity is pulling down,
Keep standing on your ground.
Shadows move across a desert.
Follow the moon over the sand.
Footsteps echo down,
Listen to the way they land.

Ooh, baby.
I just want to look into your eyes.
Ooh, baby.
I could see you all the time.

"Hate"

"Hate"


I wanna change the colour of my skin so i can know what it's like to walk down the street A stare of hate Would it break my will would i want to kill If they close their eyes would they ever see the difference if they closed their ears would it matter anyway If they closed their mouth do you think they'd ever listen If they closed their mind would they ever learn I wanna change for one day So i could be inside the head of hate Then i would know what it's like to hate Hate is the air You can see it read it hear it and feel it It hides behind smilling faces Smilling faces of fear Happy faces of hate Pretty faces of prejudice Sickly faces ugly faces wrinkled faces decrepit faces of hate The everyday faces of hate

"Headlights Ditch"

"Headlights Ditch"


I want a beer and I want it now
I want a cigarette and I want it now
I want a girl and I want her now [x2]
[x2]

I want these things from time to time
I want these things and I don't ask why
I want these things and I want them now
I want these things and I want them now

I want a beer and I want it now
I want a cigarette and I want it now
I wanna play a show and I want to now
I want a girl and I want her now

"Here We Go"

"Here We Go"


Here we go! Here we go! Here we go!

We were riding north to Chicago on route 65
We'd played the first show on a tour of 45
Limey Shawn and Bryan rode in the truck 16 miles away
Me, Shal, Pete and Lamar thumbed down the ramp of exit 158

The smell of farm and diesel fuel it burned in the 3:00 sun
16 miles to the garage with a bottle of water and our thumbs
Dead bottle caps buds and birds we passed on the way
Who's gonna pick up 4 punks in indiana on Sunday

Here we go! Here we go! Here we go!

"The diagnosis wasn't good" is what Don the ford guy said
Stuck in indiana for a week cuz the bus was dead
24 hour white castle 25 cent refills for a while
We didn’t know what to do with no money riding down the jewel of the denial

Loaded with our sleeping bags we hitched a ride to town
We ran into some punky kids, bought some beers, they showed us around
Under a bridge by the river, we got drunk and sang Clash songs
We were saved just in time by the sonic iquana

Here we go! Here we go! Here we go!

"Hero Zero"

"Hero Zero"


This is the saga and mythology,
A once upon a time of you and me.
A paradise became a jail cell,
A mutually created personal hell.
We had such a sweet start.
We were living as one heart.
How did we end up in this epic fight?
Like fire and water, opposites ignite.

Is it a love story or a dark comedy,
Playing for the long run or going straight to DVD?

I’ll be your hero, you’ll be my zero.
You’ll be my hero, I’ll be your zero.

Give and take, it’s all the same.
We fought it out, now only ashes remain.
I see there’s no kingdom to save.
We’re the liberators, and we’re the slaves.
Here’s to all our rises and falls.
Forever love is living in these halls.
I hope these wars will see an end.
Instead of breaking, maybe we could bend.

I’m the paint chipping off your wall.
Scrape me off before I fall.

I’ll be your hero, you’ll be my zero.
You’ll be my hero, I’ll be your zero.

I’m the paint on your wall.
Scrape me off before I fall.
Stories written on these halls.
Take my love, take my love.

"Hey Aliens"

"Hey Aliens"


Hey aliens, how about a little help down here?
We can offer you some livestock organs and artisanal beer.
Hey it’s ok, you can have some DNA.
Whoa, aliens.

Hey aliens, can you save us from the super rich
Before they buy up everything and turn us to their bitch?
Hey, it’s ok. Maybe we can rent your death ray.
Whoa, aliens.
Whoa, aliens.

Hey aliens out there, tell me just how far you see
Through this black hole of confusion to infinity.

Whoa, aliens.
Whoa, aliens.

"Highway Kings"

"Highway Kings"


Sitting here drinking again...
thinking back on how simple it used to be.
Can it ever be that way again?
I'm drinking this one to my friends.
Looks like they'll be here till the end.
Till the bitter end.
What are dreams for, anyway,
without the guts to live your life that way?
We are the highway kings.
Chasing our destinies.
Cruising through a timezone
as the world stands still.
Harvest moon in a desert sky.
Making good time as we pass it by.
Wherever this road takes us, it was meant to be.
We're already home.
What are dreams for, anyway,
without the guts to live your life that way?
What are songs for, anyway,
without the guts to live your life that way?
Learned to let go
of the things we can't control.
Left em behind and followed rock and roll.
We found a new way of life.
Forever till the end of time.
But never getting old.

"Holiday Cocktail Lounge"

"Holiday Cocktail Lounge"


Happy Hour's next door
But you'll have to brave the downpour, I’m staying here
Where I can get a song free with my drink to smooth things along
The bartender, he looks kind of sauced but he always knows what's going down
It’s all how you carry yourself here at the holiday cocktail lounge

I didn't talk or say much but I got to know a lot
The greatest delicacies of Spain
The effects of rain on your brain
Another drink with my free song
The usual things they come and move along
Here at the holiday cocktail lounge

I have heard some places can change how you feel
It's not something you can see
But I think that it's real
Words that were spoken of passing thoughts in the mind
Somebody just rolled through and they left them behind
Maybe they sat in this very stool
And didn't make a sound
They just came and went
Here at the holiday cocktail lounge

"Hopeless Romantic"

"Hopeless Romantic"


I don't know what other people see
Or what they think is love
But I know what it means to me
I fall in love so easily
And it's hard to let your guard down
Something you never wanted to
I gave you my love and if you turned away
I guess I'd be screwed, but...

I'm a hopeless romantic
You're just hopeless

Beer and wine does me fine but
It doesn't always do
When I get back up and dust off
I always come back to you.
I'm my own man with my own plan
I can't do the things you want me to
I'm kinda lazy and I kinda stink
But I'll clean myself up for you
