"Fist In Glove"

"Fist In Glove"



In the room with artificial light
Where the curtains have all been drawn tight
Behind the table that's out of place
Same old dream is being chased
Behind these walls no sound is heard
Beyond this door it's another world

Fist in glove
Don't shake the right hand, baby
Before I know what the left hand wants
Fist in glove
Don't tell me that the sign you're making
Is the same one your daddy's done

Mother, mother, your love is unsuspected
Mother, mother, your love goes undetected now
Like a fist in a glove, like a fist in a glove

In this room with artificial light
No one's certain if it's day or night
Ten square feet in a worst kinda taste
All your hope inside is laid to waste
Masses in the street, counted a million
All in protest against Armageddon

Fist in glove
Don't shake the right hand, baby
Before it knows what the left hand wants
Fist in glove
Don't tell me that the sign you're making
Is the same one your daddy's done
Mother, mother, your love is unsuspected
Mother, mother, your love goes undetected now
Like a fist in a glove, like a fist in a glove

"Flowers In The Mud"

"Flowers In The Mud"



Farewell El Paso, hello future
Welcome seven dilatee
I drink tequila, you drink espresso

Lovers we were meant to be
Walkin’ like an angel
Talkin’ like the angel

Life’s like mercury, slippin’ through your
Lazy fingers tappin’ beat
And your pistol sleeps in the holster

Far from harm and causing grief
Walkin’ like an angel
Talkin’ like the angel

Am I running? Am I calm?
Like an outlaw without cause
I’ve been runnin’ invisible
Catchin’ breath for alibi

And this dream keeps on repeatin’
Grab my pocket socks
Love is like a flower in the mud

I’m here in the wild west wingo
You take a chance, maybe lose a bet
But when your heart says that it’s bingo

Lover you were meant to be
Walkin’ like an angel
Talkin’ like the angel

Am I running? Am I calm?
Like an outlaw without cause
I’ve been runnin’ invisible
Catchin’ breath for alibi

And this dream keeps on repeatin’
Grab my pocket socks
Love is like a flower in the mud

Like a flower
Like a flower
Like a flower in the mud

Like a flower
Like a flower
Like a flower in the mud

Like a flower
Like a flower
Like a flower in the mud

Like a flower
Like a flower
Like a flower
Like a flower
Like a flower
Like a flower
Like a flower in the mud

"Fluid Conduction"

"Fluid Conduction"



I've been sleepin' all day, slummin' all night
In a 44 hour sedation
Since the day you cut me outta your life
The night I killed your patience

Always try to lie to you
The truth is that I love you
Need you more than anything
Without you I discover
I'm a maniac and a menace
Headin' for destruction

Your lips I miss,
Your tears, your hips
Your piss, your blood, the way you function
Maybe I should thank some God
For your amazing fluid conduction

It was Max, the king of facts
He made me steal for your number
Promised not to tell on him
But you know me, I'm a sucker

Your lips I miss,
Your tears, your hips
Your piss, your blood,
The way you function
Maybe I should thank some God
For your amazing fluid conduction

"Freedom Don't Last Forever"

"Freedom Don't Last Forever"



It don't look like a happy home
For the monkey in the corner
Behind the bars inside the cage
The sadness makes me shiver
Freedom don't last forever

It's no way never near good taste
And puts my good sense to the test
Makes me wonder who's the beast
In the eyes of the audience
Freedom don't last forever

And the way love burns
Twists and turns
And tears us all apart
Let me tell you my old friend
It can also break your heart

Can't take no more
Lock the door
Leave me here with my self-pity
Leave me alone
With my lazy bones
And a banana on the branch of my tree

Can't take no more
Lock the door
Leave me here with my self-pity
Leave me alone
With my lazy bones
With a dream and a memory

Loneliness is a ghost
Trapped in a room of silence
Inside my head I hear the roar
The roar of a crazy lion
Freedom don't last forever
Freedom don't last forever

"From Heaven From Hell"

"From Heaven From Hell"



If there's a reason why you leave me
Then I like to hear it now
I'll simply bend my head
I won't cry out loud

I know all this time we spent together
Was not so important to you
You always knew, there would come a time
That I would sing my blues

And now you're playing with me
Like you're playing card
I'm losing before you start
You know every trick of every game
You look right through my heart

Oh woman, oh woman, you make it mine
Ah, ah, yeah, oh woman, oh woman
Oh yeah, you will be right at my door
Ah, ah, oh

You're from heaven, from hell, from heaven
You're from heaven, from hell, from heaven
You're from heaven, from hell, from heaven
You're from heaven, from hell, from heaven
For ever I'm lost in your spell

Ooh and I would be a liar
If I'm telling you, that I don't give a damn
That you don't love me like I do
Oh babe, babe I'm begging you
I'm begging you down on my knees
Oh please stay some more time
I'd rather be dead than free
Alright you leave me all alone
I see the curtain fall
And while you softly close the door
It's your name I call

Oh woman, oh woman
Oh woman, oh woman, here right at my door
Yah, yah, yah, yeah, ah, ah, ah

Oh you're from heaven, from hell, from heaven
You're from heaven, from hell, from heaven
You're from heaven, from hell, from heaven
You're from heaven, from hell, from heaven
For ever I'm lost in your spell

"Future"

"Future"



You better get out of the line of fire
If you wanna stay alive
I always knew it would take a liar
In this brave new world to survive

It's gonna happen in the future
It didn't happen in the past

Rule and divide and control the seven seas
Your power and pride guarantee defeat
So fine, your lips on mine light a dangerous flame
When love grows in exile, it'll find you back again

They shot you down on the steps of a white house
Climbin' out to rescue me
They said you made a giant step for mankind
And the plate's still empty, "c'est la vie"

It's gonna happen in the future
It didn't happen in the past

"Gambler's Blues"

"Gambler's Blues"



The table's smokin', I got money to burn
Get ready to spin that wheel again
I came to gamble, not to dance tonight
So cut the cards and deal 'em nice
All or nothing, roll the dice
Son of a gun, there's somethin' goin' on

Yeah, today's my lucky day
Lady Luck, please come my way
I got money to burn, money to burn tonight
And as the dealer calls the play
I feel the shiver, comin' over me
Feel it in my fingertips alright

Cards slidin' faster and slicker
Than a hooker's lips in the neon light

I do what I do, I'm a gamblin' man
I gamble on life and I gamble on love
Gamble on luck from above, anyway I can
Seven card stud, with a full-house hand
I'm a jackpot maniac, my friend
Tequila shots, one more chance
For the blackjack gamblin' man

The devil bets, he bets on hell
And seven come, eleven right
Holdin' eights and aces tight
The gambler bets on heaven tonight
The devil bets, he bets on hell
Goin' in for the kill
Holding eights and aces tight
It's the gambler's bet tonight
On heaven tonight

"God Bless The Day"

"God Bless The Day"



In the morning dawn
When it's not all clear
All you can hear is the silence
Of a fairy-like noise far away

In the morning dawn
When it's not all clean
All you have seen is the burying
Of a fairy-like bright early day

The Lord will bless this day
And our food
And the weapons of the enemy in the neighbourhood
The Lord will bless the victory
Of every fool
With a gun, thinkin' he can change the rule

God bless the day, God bless the day
God bless the day, God bless the day

Like one says
He will bless
And we will wait
For what He'll create

"Going Crazy Again"

"Going Crazy Again"



I saw a black cat in a blind alley way
The way bad luck runs, it could be here any day
The Landlord raises rent, just about all my money spent
The lady's on her way comin' but I know she can't
Ten empty bottles on the floor
Matching ten notches on someone's door
I think you'd better turn me in

I'm going crazy again
It's outa my hands
Got nothin' to lose, got nothin' to win
I'm goin' insane
The whole thing is caving in
Going crazy again
Nobody really cares, it's bad timing
And the way I'm livin'

Everybody's tryin' to act surprised
About the way I get myself revived
Couple a stitches and a light head
Coming around the bend
A ninety buck treatment on gettin' myself analyzed
Who's that snake in the corner
Talkin' bout disorder
I'm gonna crush it before it gets me alive

I think you better turn me in
I'm going crazy again
It's outa my hands
Got nothin' to lose, got nothin' to win
I'm goin' insane
The whole thing is caving in
Going crazy again
Nobody really cares, it's gotta be bad timing
And the way I'm livin'

"Going To The Run"

"Going To The Run"



I could bet on new-years eve
He'd call me up at night
From the other side of the world
Ed was always there alright
Ed's got the looks of a movie star
Ed's got the smile of a prince
He ride a bike instead of a car
I wanna be his friend

Dancing in the living room
With the ladies so nice
Like a child with a wisdom tooth
He's just a friend of mine
Ed's got the rings and the colors
Ed's got the wind in his hair
He goes a riding with the brothers
He's got a fist in the air

Going to the run, run Angel
Going to the run, run Angel
Well, heaven and hell came together that night
Only for you this time
Going to the run, forever Angel

One summer at the festival
Holding on real tight
On the back of a Harley
He took me for a ride in the sky
Ed's got the looks of a movie star
Ed's got the smile of a prince
He'd ride a bike instead of a car
I'll always be his friend

Going to the run, run Angel
Going to the run, run Angel
And his wings started to shine so bright
Like a fire in the night
Going to the run, forever Angel

Going to the run, run Angel
Forever going to the run, run Angel
Well, heaven and hell came together that night
Only for you this time
Going to the run, forever Angel
