"Showdown At The Border"

"Showdown At The Border"


His necktie is bright red
From lookin' in one direction
No flowerchild in his bed
He's got oil well protection
Just had to be a blind dog
Chewin' on everything
Took a slice of the blackbird pie
She began her singing
I know that your oil is black
But your dipstick is pearly white
Ten gallons on your head
That ain't what I need tonight
Showdown at the border
Showdown at the border
Showdown at the border
The rendezvous was neutral
He don't want no gossip headlines
Her polaroid blackmail
He said,"No way I've had mine"
Just too much for him to lose
Because of some Cuervo passion
Cold, cold forty-five, answered in Texas fashion
I know that your oil is black
But the dipstick is pearly white
Ten gallons on your head
That ain't what I need tonight
Showdown at the border
Showdown at the border
Showdown at the border
Bright red went to his head
Tequila tension rising
This is no business for the weak at heart
This is no business for those with a
Nervous disposition
Tanned man from the f.e.d.'s
Cool mohair buying off the squeeze
Showdown at the border

"Silver Dollar Forger"

"Silver Dollar Forger"


Swingin' my sweet chariot low
Gotta make it home to georgia
Excise lawman on my trail
I'm a silver dollar forger
I see a road block on my right
Engine take me through the night
Gotta make it home to the arms of my sweet baby.

Twenty miles from that georgia state
I can hear the sirens wailing
If only I can cross that line
And leave the police trailing
I see a red light at my rear
Now I'm sweatin' cold steel fear
Gotta make it home to the arms of my sweet baby.

I'm tired of all this running
Hiding from the light
I want to walk out in the sun

I'll soon be home I can see the clay
I'll soon be in Atlanta
If only I can hold that line
I can live just how I want to
I see the state line in my lights
Engine take me through the night
Gotta make it home to the arms of my sweet baby.

"Simple Solution"

"Simple Solution"


Old man, don't tell me what you did in your day
I got problems of my own on the way
Look you now, where the locusts abound
Pray they don't feed on your sacred ground

Vibrations, are burning my hands
Slowly walking, stalking through these crazy lands
Defending the need , with a silent scream
For another time, for another dream

Jack boots, hi-jacks
Ray guns and spray guns
We got them all for free
Look to the stars for consolation
It could be there lookin' at me
Send me down a simple solution
Send me down a simple solution now

No cheap-o, clean-o, is gonna wash away my blues
I need a good friend that's gonna give me some clues
The one on the cross, he almost had it boss
He was really spreading the news
Ah, but the destruct mutt, he's back in business
He ain't about to lose

Jackboots, hi-jacks
Ray guns and spray guns
We got them all for free
Look to the stars for consolation
It could be there lookin' at me
It could be there lookin' at me
Send me down a simple solution
Send me down a simple solution now

And the price-for life
Is one more run on that chicken wire
As the hero returns
With eyes of fire
To another man to man, so damn you man!

Old man don't tell me what you did in your day
I got problems of my own on the way
So look you now, where the locusts abound
Prat they don't feed on your sacred ground.

[chorus:]

"Sleeptalker"

"Sleeptalker"


There is something pretty freaking goin 'on in his head
A major violation goin 'on in the bed
Mental molestation of the tormented mind
The manic machinations the sonambiente kind

Skeletons hidden in the closet in the house
Of the mind of the sleep talker
Reds in the beds and Ghosts of the Past
In the mind of the sleep talker
Lies in the eyes and cries of the devils
In the mind of the sleep talker
Sleep talker
Psychosystematic black hole in the soul
In the mind of the sleep talker
Sleep talker

Something in the make up that's a little bit strange
Output may be different but the games never change
The failure of the function of the tormented mind
The manic machinations the sonambiente kind

Skeletons hidden in the closet in the house
Of the mind of the sleep talker
Reds in the beds and Ghosts of the Past
In the mind of the sleep talker
Lies in the eyes and cries of the devils
In the mind of the sleep talker
Sleep talker
Psychosystematic black hole in the soul
Of the mind of the sleep talker
Sleep talker

"Sold My Soul"

"Sold My Soul"


I prayed to God and Jesus
But I guess they didn't hear
My sacrfice was useless
My pleas fell on deaf ears
So I cried in desperation
Bowed to evil sorcery

I looked to the Lord in heaven
But he must have looked away
My crying eyes repentant
Please send her love to light my day
So I cried in desperation
Bowed to evil sorcery

I sold my soul
Sold my soul
I sold my soul to the devil
So I cried in desperation
Bowed to evil sorcery
I sold my soul
Sold my soul
I sold my soul to the devil
Sold my soul
Sold my soul
I sold my soul
Sold my soul
sold my soul to the devil
to the devil
Sold my soul
Sold my soul
I sold my soul
I sold my soul
I sold my soul to the devil

"Somebody To Roll"

"Somebody To Roll"


Goin' out, got some time to use
Baby, baby, baby, I just can't lose
Truckin' round from town to town
Got to get my rocks off the ground
Going up, I've been down so long
All I need is just one good song
Take me out of this dead end gig
Get my shot at some of the big
If you want to rock
If you want to rock
You got to find somebody to roll
I just signed my life away
The record company's got to pay
Got to chase that billboard bullet
Nothin' left but to go out and do it
If you want to rock
You got to find
If you want to rock
You got to find somebody to roll
Somebody to roll
Goin' out, got some time to use
Baby, baby, baby, I just can't lose
Truckin' round from town to town
Got to get my rocks off the ground
If you want to rock
You got to find somebody
If you want to rock
You got to find somebody to roll
Somebody to roll

"Speakeasy"

"Speakeasy"


Knock knock knockin’
Oh I really wanna get in
Knock knock knockin’
Oh I really wanna get in
But it’s a secret thing…
Speakeasy
Sun is going down
Walk around the town
My buddy said he heard of this place…
When nobody’s around you can hear the sound
Man I wish that I was a face…
Knock knock knockin’
Oh I really wanna get in
And it’s so frustrating to hear the party rockin’
When you’re not there
Pocket full of money
Got myself a honey
And I really wanna go for a drink
Knock knock knockin’
Oh I really wanna get in
But it’s a secret thing…
Speakeasy
Speakeasy
Inside, everything’s alright
Groove into the zone like you’re Al Capone
Bootlegger, never had it better
Prohibition made them Kings
They got everything
Knock knock knockin’
Oh I really wanna get in
And it’s so frustrating to hear the party rockin’
When you’re not there
Pocket full of money
Got myself a honey
And I really wanna go for a drink
Knock knock knockin’
Oh I really wanna get in
But it’s a secret thing…
Speakeasy
Speakeasy
Speakeasy

"Stand By Your Beds"

"Stand By Your Beds"


I'm gonna keep it in the family
Gotta straighten my face
Wanna keep it in the family
Savin' my disgrace
Like a tick-a time bomb inside a'me
Been to the mount, seen the other side
Money back, number one, guaranteed
Sole-satisfied

Gimme, gimme, gimme it all
Gimme, gimme, gimme it all

Everybody celebrate, stand by your beds
By your beds
Easy access, easy led, stand by your beds
By your beds

Y'know its nothin' new I'm telling you
Its always been around
Its the home made milkshake
Apple pies 'n' lemonade
Never turned down

Gimme, gimme, gimme it all
Gimme, gimme, gimme it all

Everybody celebrate, stand by your beds
By your beds
Easy access, easy led, stand by your beds
By your beds

Gimme, gimme, gimme it alll
Gimme, gimme, gimme it all

Everybody celebrate, stand by your beds
By your beds
Easy access, easy led, stand by your beds
By your beds

"Star"

"Star"


Walkin' alone at night in the cold rain
Wond'rin if I will see you again
In some corner light
Runnin' down the road in the warm sun
Dreaming that I am still the one
Resting by your side

You took the road to fortune and fame
Your name in lights
I want you to know I still feel the same
Star, I still love you
I still love you

Remembering when you played me that first song
The first show that you asked me along
Just to be around
Workin' so hard till you got that first break
You said you could turn them around
Give them something new

You took the road to fortune and fame
Your name in lights
I want you to know I still feel the same
Star, I still love you
I still love you

Got that photograph of you and me
I hear your voice on the radio
Will I ever lay with you again

Nobody planned it we just seemed to drift now
I always seem to have to leave
Just as you come around
But someday soon girl I just got to see
I just gotta find out
If we still have time

[chorus:]

"Steamroller"

"Steamroller"


Here she come, right on time
Tenement mixer, givin' the hard line
Hammerin' down walls of steel
Permanent fixer, it's a bad sign
She's runnin' right over you
Ain't no way to control her...steamroller
Can't figure you out, she's big trouble
Soul-contractor, makin' your pain pay double
Don't wanna know, 'bout no last chance
Outa time, now you're last year's model
She's crawlin' all over you
Still you try to console her......steamroller
She's rollin' all over you
Try survivin' below her
She's rollin' all over you
Like a head-kickin', ass-whippin'
Steamin'-demon fast bowler......steamroller
Here she come, there you go
Boa-constrictor, takin' it real slow
Price of fame, down to zero
She's a run-away train, puttin' on a real show
She's comin' back over you
Like a Bay City roller......steamroller
Steamroller...steamroller...steamroller
