SIN CITY
Diamonds, and dust
Poor man last, rich man first
Lamborginis, caviar
Dry martini's, Shangri-La
I got a burnin' feeling
Deep inside of me
It's yearnin'
But I'm gonna set it free
I'm goin' in to sin city
I'm gonna win in sin city
Where the lights are bright
Do the town tonight
I'm gonna win in sin city
Oh let me roll ya baby
Ladders, and snakes
Ladders give, snakes take
Rich man, poor man
Beggar man thief
Ain't got a hope in hell
That's my belief
Fingers Freddy
Diamond Jim
They're getting ready
Look out I'm coming in
So spin that wheel, cut that pack
And roll them loaded dice
Bring on the dancin' girls
And put the champagne on ice
I'm goin' in to sin city
I'm gonna win in sin city
Where the lights are bright
Do the town tonight
I'm goin' in to sin city
WHAT'S NEXT TO THE MOON
Well I tied my baby to the railroad track
Cannonball down the line
Givin' that woman just one more chance
Give it to me one more time
Engineer wishin' he was home in bed
Dreamin' 'bout Casey Jones
Wide eyed woman half a mile ahead
Thinkin' 'bout broken bones
It's your love that I want
It's your love that I need
It's your love gotta have
It's your love
Heavenly body flyin' across the sky
Superman was outta town
Come on honey gotta change your tune
Cause it's a long way down
Clark Kent lookin' for a free ride
Thinkin' about Lois Lane
It's a bird, it's a plane, it's suicide
And that'd be a shame
It's your love that I want
It's your love that I need
It's your love gotta have
It's your love
But what's next to the moon?
Long arm lookin' for a finger print
Tryin' to find a mystery clue
Hittin' me with the third degree
Working on a thumb screw
Alright officer I confess
Everything's coming back
I didn't mean to hurt that woman of mine
It was a heart attack
It's your love that I want
It's your love that I need
It's your love gotta have
It's your love guaranteed
Your love that I want
It's your love that I need
It's your love gotta have
It's your love
What's next to the moon
Puttin' out the stars
Oh can you say bye bye
Oh next to the moon
I'm on the moon
Up and down the moon
GONE SHOOTIN'
Feel the pressure rise
Hear the whistle blow
Bought a ticket of her own accord
To I dunno
Packed your heart in a travellin' bag
And never said bye bye
Something missing in the neighbourhood
Of her cryin' eyes
I stirred my coffee with the same spoon
Knew her favourite tune
Gone shootin'
My baby's gone shootin'
Wrap herself around
Like a second skin
Backed her favourite nag
But she could never win
I took an offer in another town
She took another pill
She was runnin' in overdrive
A victim of overkill
She never made it past the bedroom door
What was she aiming for
Gone shootin'
She's gone, gone gone gone
Gone shootin'
My baby's gone shootin'
(Gone shooting), how am I gonna get her down
(Gone shooting), look out, look out, look out
(Gone shooting), she can hurt someone
(Gone shooting), yeah she sure is loaded
(Gone shooting), she's gone gone gone gone, she's gone
(Gone shooting)
I used to love her so
UP TO MY NECK IN YOU
Well I've been up to my neck in trouble
Up to my neck in strife
Up to my neck in misery
For most of my life, I've been a fool
And you know what a fool can do
I'm telling you
You came along when I needed you
Now I'm up,
I'm up to my neck in you
And I've been up to my neck in pleasure
Up to my neck in pain
I've been up to my neck on the railroad track
Waitin' for the train
To cruise on through
Baby my time was due, oh it's way overdue
You came along and pulled me through
Now I'm up
Up to my neck in you
Don't it feel good
I've been up to my neck in whiskey
I've been up to my neck in wine
I've been up to my neck in wishin'
That this neck wasn't mine
I'm a loser, that ain't lost it
Baby you were too good, too good to be true
What you done no one else could do
Now I'm up
I'm up to my neck in you
It feels good
Yeah you came along when I needed you
I'm up to my neck in you
KICKED IN THE TEETH
Two faced woman with your two faced lies
I hope your two faced livin' made you satisfied
Ya tell me baby I was your only one
While you been runnin' round town with every mother's son, hey!
Two times told about a woman like you
Two times told about the things you do
I used to think that you were sugar and spice
I should have listened to my Ma's advice
Kicked in the teeth again
Sometimes you lose, sometimes you win
Kicked in the teeth again
Ain't this misery ever gonna end?
I been kicked in the teeth
Kicked in the teeth again
Two faced woman such a cryin' shame
Double or nothin' you're all the same
You run around hope you had your fun
You never know who's gonna win 'til the race been run
Kicked in the teeth again
Sometimes you lose, sometimes you win, I know
Kicked in the teeth again
Ain't this misery ever gonna end?
I been kicked in the teeth
Kicked in the teeth
Kicked in the teeth again
COLD HEARTED MAN
No one knew
Where he came from
He never knew himself
Call her Ma
Call him Pa
But he was born to someone else
No one fooled
Or messed him 'round
Cause they were all afraid
Ain't no lies
Ice in the eyes
Of Leroy Kincaid
Cold hearted man
One time lover heart in his hand
Cold hearted man
And you can't trust nothing you don't understand
Cold hearted man
Cold hearted man
Like a snake
He had no friends
He didn't need no one
Hurt his pride
Deep inside
He was another mother's son
Reputation
Broken glass
Everybody prayed
For their lives on the street
Where they happened to meet
Leroy Kincaid
Cold hearted man
One time lover heart in his hand
Cold hearted man, that's what he was
And you can't trust nothing you don't understand
Cold hearted man
Cold hearted man
Sometimes you can't see
The other side
It's too well hidden
For the naked eye
One time lover
With his heart in his hand
Two time loser
A broken man
Cold hearted man
He was a cold hearted man
Cold hearted man
Cold hearted man
Cold hearted man
He was a cold hearted man
Cold hearted man
Cold hearted man
