Twice as Hard
clean as a whistle, smellin like a rose
she got no dirty little fingers, bloodshot eyes are gone
tell me i'm wrong
twice as hard
as it was the first time i said goodbye
and no one ever wanna know, love ain't funny
a crime in the wink of an eye
your sister always singing, she play the step child
a broken little memory, her heart was never kind
tell me i'm blind
twice as hard
as it was the first time i said goodbye
and no one ever wanna know, love ain't funny
a crime in the wink of an eye
yeah, bloodshot eyes are gone
tell me i'm wrong
Jealous Again
cheat the odds that made you, brave to try to gamble at times
well i feel like dirty laundry, sending sickness on down the line - tell you why
cause i'm jealous, jealous again - thought it time i let you in
yeah, i'm jealous, jealous again - got no time, baby
always drunk on sunday, tryin to feel like Im at home
smell the gasoline burning, boys out feeling nervous and cold
cause i'm jealous, jealous again - thought it time i let you in
yeah, i'm jealous, jealous again - got no time, baby
stop, understand me - i ain't afraid of losing face
stop, understand me - i ain't afraid of ever losing faith in you
never felt like smiling, sugar wanna kill me yet
find me loose lipped and laughing, singing songs ain't got no regrets
cause i'm jealous, jealous again - thought it time i let you in
yeah, i'm jealous, jealous again - got no time, baby
don't you think i want to, don't you think i would
don't you think i'd tell you baby. if i only could
am i acting crazy, am i just too proud
am i just plain lazy - am i, am i, am i, ever
Seeing Things
i find it hard to shed a tear - you brought it all on yourself my dear
wrong, yes i may be - don't leave a light on for me
cause i aint comin home - it hurts me baby to be alone
yes, it hurts me baby
a hundred years will never ease - hearing things i won't believe
i saw it with my own two eyes - all the pain that i can't hide
and this pain starts in my heart - and this love tears us apart
you wont find me bent down on my knees - ain't bendin over backwards baby
not to please - cuz i'm seeing things for the first time... in my life...
i used to dream of better days that never came
sorry ain't nothin to me - i'm gone and thats the way it must be
so please i've done my time - lovin you is such a crime
you wont fine me down on, on my knees - won't find me over backwards baby
just to please - cuz i'm seeing things for the first time... in my life...

Hard to Handle
baby here i am - i'm the man on the scene
i can give you what you want, but you gotta come home with me
i have got some good old lovin - and i got some more in store
when i get through throwin it on you, you gotta come back for more
boys and things that come by the dozen - that ain't nothin but drugstore lovin
hey little thing let me light your candle, cuz mama i'm sure hard to handle, now - gets around
action speaks louder than words and i'm a man of great experience
i know you've got another man but i can love you better than him
take my hand, don't be afraid, i'm gonna prove every word i say
i'm advertising love for free, so you can place your ad with me
boys come along a dime by the dozen - that aint nothing but ten cent lovin
hey little thing let me light your candle, cuz mama i'm sure hard to handle, now - gets around
She Talks to Angels
she never mentions the word addiction in certain company
yes, she'll tell you she's an orphan after you meet her family
she paints her eyes as black as night, now - pulls those shades down tight
yeah, she gives a smile when the pain comes - the pain's gonna make everything alright
says she talks to angels - they call her out by her name...
she keeps a lock of hair in her pocket - she wears a cross around her neck
yes, the hair is from a little boy - and the cross is someone she has not met, not yet
says she talks to angels - they call her out by her name...
she don't know no lover - none that i ever seen
yes, to her that ain't nothing - but to me, yeah me, it's everything
Sting Me
if you feel like a riot, then don't you deny it - put your good foot forward
no need for heroics i just want you to show it - now's the time to shine
your independence is a half ass deliverance - the train left the station
the recognition of the same old condition - your symptoms showing through
well regardless of the truth - you still act so aloof
in the face of your judge n jury - you have the nerve to say not guilty
but can you sting me - can you sting me - right to my rotten bones
well, the bells ring out for the crimes of the century - by courtesy of your mother
the signs reads welcome to the valley of discovery - look at what money can buy
sons n daughters better open your eyes - tell me what you're seeing
this submission is a tired tradition - it's everyone's sacrifice
well believe you me - i've got nothing up my sleeve
except a heart and a chip on my shoulder - yes i'm young and don't like getting older
yeah, but can you sting me - can you sting me - right to my rotten bones
come on my sweet little thing - what new things can you show me today
i got one question, i believe it's subjective - what is a wasp without her sting?
i don't want to sound bitter - yeah you touch me just like murder
living ain't so easy - when all i want from you is to sting me
Remedy
baby, baby why cant you sit still - who killed that bird out on you window sill
are you the reason that he broke his back - did i see you laugh about that
if i come on like a dream - would you let me show you what i mean
if you let me come on inside - will you let it glide
can i have some remedy - remedy for me please
cuz if i had some remedy - i'd take enough to please me
baby, baby why did you dye your hair - why you always keeping with your mothers dare
baby, why's who's who, who know you too - tell me, did the other children scold on you
if i come on like a dream - would you let me show you what i mean
if you let me come on inside - will you let it slide
Thorn In My Pride
wake me when the day breaks - show me how the sun shines
tell me about your heartaches - who could be so unkind
do you dream to touch me - and smile down deep inside
or could you just kill me - it's hard to make up your mind, sometimes
my angels, my devils, my thorn in my pride...
are you wanting inspiration - you spill your secrets on me
then you tell me with a whisper - of things that will never be
do you hear me breathing - does it make you want to scream
did you ever like a bad dream - sometimes life is obscene
my angels, my devils, my thorn in my pride...
lover, cover me with your sleep - let your love light shine
lover, cover me with a good dream - let your love light shine
Bad Luck Blue Eyes Goodbye
with my winter time, my idols and stage fright
in another night, where the lights are loud and bright
one dream from waking up saved, too shy to hold in the rage
i know no luxury of knowing what your eyes read
i know one million ways to always pick the wrong thing to say
a love that you never gave, always a time zone away
it's not out of spite, i know whats right
bad luck blue eyes goodbye...
sometimes a memory only sees what it wants to believe
and whats filled in between are days and nights that don't mean a thing
such a simple suicide - a second chance never tried
and you don't understand - i need a helping hand
so you think that you've seen it all - is that a fact
so out your mouth a dictionary, spouts about this and that
you got your dos, your don'ts, because and why
i don't trust no one who don't take their own advice
bad luck blue eyes goodbye
Sometimes Salvation
to lessen my troubles i stopped hanging out with vultures and empty saviours like you
i wish i had a nickel for every miracle that you easily tricked me into
you can lead a horse to water - but faith is another matter
so don't you surrender - cuz sometimes salvation in the eye of the storm
i've no time for accusations or conversations on all the bad, bad things you do.
just a note from your jailer - drugs and the relations to all the people around you
you can lead a horse to water - but faith is another matter
so don't you surrender - cuz sometimes salvation in the eye of the storm
i've kept secret your superstitions and all its twisted wisdom that i fell into
sister can you try and find me...
No Speak No Slave
rooster crows at the break of dawn - a mother dies without her only son
a doctor laughs in the face of disease - i never once heard a preacher say please
and you, you want to be heard - but none of us understand a word
and you, you want to be free - then don't speak like a slave to me.
policemen who break the laws - politicians rise and fall
a baby crying for its mothers milk - a daddy's secret hidden guilt
and you, you want to be heard - but none of us understand a word
and you, you want to be free - then don't speak like a slave to me
A Conspiracy
did you ever hear the one about last year
it was all a lie - ain't it funny how the time flies
what we gonna do baby, what is left for us to prove
i've never stolen nothing, not a thing - tried to stay away form this year's big thing
ain't as easy as it seems to find a mutual dream
can you tell me wrong from right do you know when to freeze or take flight
can you tell me more or less i got to know-confess
don't neglect me - come be my conspiracy...
now you got a question about your answer - say try your adam's apple
you talk it try it bite it right - so, now you want to fight - ok
let's step outside - i got tradition in addition
my definition it don't hold me back - well what you think about that
what you don't understand - this is a very old land
Wiser Time
no time left now for shame - horizon behind me, no more pain
windswept stars blink and smile - another song, another mile
you read the line every time - ask me about crime in my mind
ask me why another read song - funny but i bet you never left home
on a good day, its not every day - we can part the sea
and on a bad day, its not every day - glory beyond our reach
seconds until sunrise - tired but wiser for the time
lightning 30 miles away - three thousand more in two days
Blackberry
hey, blackberry - how you taste so sweet
hey, blackberry - tell me what you see
tell me is it interesting
hey, blackberry - pay some attention to me
hey, blackberry - look at my bumblebee
hey, blackberry - you know he never stings
and he only hums for me
i need some l-o-v-e-n to make me happy
you got to be l-u-c-k-y to git with a girl like blackberry
hey, my cherry - coming up my street
hey, my cherry - you make it hard to breathe
look what you've done to me
hey, my cherry - be sure to keep your nose clean
Midnight From the Inside Out
you, with your fast and furlined mind - with your disregard of time, virtue, horizon
here where the angels never sleep - where the water's dark and deep
you breathe molasses
midnight from the inside out - turn around and they all fall down
screaming red and the lights go out - turn around and they all fall down
you, madness dripping from your tongue - while starting at the sun
you speak explosion - up, with the flies around the moon
needle, mirror, spoon and cotton candy
Lickin
your eyes they look like two bullet holes - and you don't ever say maybe
you knock me out with the way you talk - i like the way you say "baby"
you want a mouthful of scorpio - yeah, but my poison be tasty
you bite my finger and say "control" - you won't let me be lazy
night and day - like a mule, i'm kickin - girl you gonna catch a lickin
fire out of the mouths of babes - got you actin so crazy
doorknob queen of the underage - got me rantin and ravin
see the bruise you left on my page - now the game's getting tricky
left alone in my own parade - while the bomb just keeps tickin
night and day - like a mule, i'm kickin - girl you gonna catch a lickin
do you want to do it all with me - do you want to scream and bleed for me
you can have all of me, all of me
your teeth taste just like razorblades - yeah you got my tongue ready
you fill me up with your politics - and leave me so heavy
Soul Singing
i've been down - cascading and blue without a sound
now i've traded my black feathers for a crown - so feed me milk n honey
lay me down
lay me down
look around
show me holy places not yet found
let's disappear and we'll hide underground
we'll get high and we'll feel safe n sound
it comes around...
you got my soul singing, my soul singing...
home bound
tired of tired of running town to town
tired of my heart turned upside down
now my life's a smile not a frown
the sound...
