"Leave This Town"

"Leave This Town"


I'm gonna leave this town
Gonna leave, gonna leave this town now
I'm gonna go so far away
I'm gonna go so far away

I got my bottle and a dirty old coat
So many stories that I don't even know
I got no place, got nowhere to go

I'm gonna go so far away
I'm gonna go so far away

City streets
lost control
That's just the way we roll

I'm gonna leave this place behind
I'm gonna find some place of mind
I'm gonna leave this town
Gonna leave, gonna leave this town now

"Let's All Kill Each Other"

"Let's All Kill Each Other"


(Let's all kill each other)

I've been reading everything, the papers and the magazines, believin' every word I read
Way too many mouths to feed, but we can all agree believing everybody's better off dead
If you're lookin' for some inspiration, blast off through the generation

Let's all kill each other
Kill your sisters and kill your brothers
Take the fun out of one another
Let's all kill each other

I'm not having any fun, I'm sick and tired of everyone, I wonder what's the right thing to do
Knives and guns for everyone, now everyone protects someone, at least that's what I learned from you
Just can't trust anyone else, gonna have to do it ourselves

Let's all kill each other
Kill your fathers and kill your mothers
Take the life of one another
Let's all kill each other

Let's all kill each other
Kill your sisters and kill your brothers
Take the fun out of one another
Let's all kill each other

Maybe we could talk it out
Maybe I could shut you down
Everything's so complicated
I can't believe how long we've waited
I can try to figure it out
I know what to do about it
I know what to do about it

Let's all kill each other

If you're looking for a little reaction, here comes your coming attraction

Let's all kill each other
Kill your sisters and kill your brothers
Take the fun out of one another
Let's all kill each other

Let's all kill each other
Kill your fathers and kill your mothers
Take the life of one another
Let's all kill each other

"Lies Of Hate"

"Lies Of Hate"


You make me fall from
Lies of hate
You make these walls from
Lines of a face

Nobody's watching so why do you act like a fake
You make me crawl from
Lies of hate
You wake me up from
The lines that separate

And when you shine
I know how to find out about
How to get out of it
How to get out of these chains
How to get out of it
How to get out of it
How to get out of this place

You make me fall from
Lies of hate

And when you shine
I know how to find out about
How to get out of it
How to get out of this chase
How to find out about
How to get out of it
How to get out of your space
How to get out of it
How to get out of it
How to get out of this place
How to find out about
How to go out without
Living the lies of hate

"Little Too Clean"

"Little Too Clean"


Thought I heard you screaming
And pulling out your hair
Furious and steaming, a state upon your stare
Don't you know dirt will find you and
Dirt reminds you that
Dirt will always be there, it's only
Dirt around you and dirt surrounds you and
Follows you everywhere
Here's a dirty joke, man, filled with filth and smut
The heart of it, it sparkles, the more it can corrupt
Don't you know, dirt can't hurt you
I'm truly certain, usually washes out
Don't you know, rain will wash out the
Stain and all of your, pain will work itself out
Work it out, 'fraid you've lost your innocence
To some-odd social scene, you're right on top
But you've been replaced, by a shiny new machine
And dirt keeps following you, and you don't know what it means
You're a little too clean, a little too clean, a little too clean
One day dirt will bury you and you will understand
There is nothing much more than the ground on which you stand
Don't you know dirt will find you and
Dirt reminds you that dirt will always be there
It's only dirt around you and
Dirt surrounds you and follows you everywhere
'Fraid you've lost your innocence, to some-odd social scene
You're right on top, but you've been replaced
By a shiny new machine and dirt keeps following you
And you don't know what it means, you're a little too clean
A little too clean, a little too clean

"Lone Rider"

"Lone Rider"


Peeping Tom creepin' through the mornin' moonlight (ohh, ohh, ohh)
Like a crazy coyote in the middle of the night (ohh, ohh, ohh)
You keep taggin' along 'til it does you wrong
Sometimes it takes so long for you to say so long

Not for the lone rider
Lone rider

Woah
Huh
Ya

Black cloud troll wherever he goes (ohh, ohh, ohh)
He breaks out in a cold sweat when you get too close
Your suitcase is home long may you roam lone rider
Ohh, baby's cryin' please come home lone rider

The reflections in the water but the water's a mirage
It's like a dream machine that never leaves the garage
Your boots start walkin', as the story goes
People start talkin' and he wrestlessness gows

They say he hates people, say he's a queer
Never listens but always hears
Off into the sunset he disappears
Surely the last time to come around here, oh no

Ride on
Ride on
Ride on

"Long Day"

"Long Day"


Mine is a lonely one, I forgot to have fun, standing under the street light
Ever so nervously, people lookin' down on me, telling me it's all right

If it were up to me I'd tear down this whole city, what's all this sh*t here for?
I give you my heart, but you just say I make you feel like a whore

All this trouble just to die, all this trouble's only temporary, it's temporary, temporary

Took away his power but he hides a tiny flower in the corner of his jail cell
Never been outside he just can't hide, he'd just assume be in hell

Get off the f*cking telephone, why'd you hate to be alone, paranoid of death and love
Ever so patiently we sit upon our sinking ship waiting for the black dove

All this trouble just to die, all this trouble's only temporary, it's temporary, temporary

Sad that I could make it, glad that I could fake, sorry but I got to go
I ain't afraid of cryin', ain't afraid of dyin'. ain't afraid of what I don't know

"Long Way Home"

"Long Way Home"


You've got eyes but they can't see
What's inside a tv and they never look at me
You won't know and you're never claim to show
That special feeling inside
Oh how time flies when its got nowhere to go
Up to the skies and it only goes to show
I've waited here for you a long, long time
I think I'd better go
Long way home [x4]
So now you studied the changes
Have you lost your way
Through all the strangeness
And you got no more to say
Long way home [x8]

"Made To Be Broken"

"Made To Be Broken"


Guess I'll be leaving in the morning
By the chill that you gave me I will ride
I will tear out my insides just to find a place to hide
And I don't want to hurt you anymore

You got the dagger but I got the revolver
As we rolled and we tumbled to the floor
I been ?? is it just these drugs I'm feelin'?
And I don't want to lie to you no more

??
?? till the end
A guitar's a man's best friend

But these rules were meant to be broken

?? make myself uneasy
And I haven't got the guts to make you cry
?? to one thing ?? do something
And I don't want to hurt you anymore

Now with this advice I will end
??
Some things are meant to be spoken
And these rules are meant to be broken

"Make It Real"

"Make It Real"


You know you got an understanding
How to make it better
I shouldn't be so damn demanding
Write it down in a letter

You can see what you wanna
Lay it out on the table
Could you be any wronger?
Can you hear what I'm saying?

How you gonna make it real?
How you gonna make it, how you gonna make it
How you gonna make it feel?
And we won't look the other way

How long you gonna keep on standing
For this misunderstanding
You know it's all a half-assed scam now
And it's all in your head

You can say what you wanna
Take a spin of the wheel

How you gonna make it real?
How you gonna make it, how you gonna make it
How you gonna make it feel?
And we won't look the other way

Everything is happening
Everything's virtually happening
Running out of time
Standing in line
Try to find a way to make it real this time

You know you got an understanding
How to make it real

How you gonna make it real?
How you gonna make it, how you gonna make it
How you gonna make it feel?
How you gonna make it?
How you gonna make it?

"Marionette"

"Marionette"


Marionette I haven't met you yet
I hear you're good I hear you're made out of wood
Not quite as blind as you might think she'd be
And they cut off your wings and replaced them with strings
Now the strings attach to everything
It's twisted and tangled and troubled with anger
But somehow you still swing
Tried all my tricks I tried to steal a kiss
Splinters and slivers stuck all over my lips
She thinks she must be doing something wrong
They pull the strings and then they string you along
And they cut off your wings and replaced them with strings
Now the strings attach to everything
It's twisted and tangled but I've got an angle
On just what makes you swing
Hanging by a string
Know the boss he makes her do things his way
So why do you think she's so scared of you
What do you think makes her that way
When push comes to shove she'll push and shove
It doesn't always have to be this way
She's saving up for a vacation somewhere
Why do you think she's so scared of you
What do you think makes her that way
When push comes to shove she'll push and shove
It's very hard work when you don't get paid
And they cut off your wings and replaced them with strings
