Danger, with the Flame on
Ya laid that two faced sucker out dead in the sun
they dropped the dime now you're on the run
like a slack line walker a breathin' fire
ignition burns fast on a telephone wire
Don'cha lay down with your red dress on
you'll be pushing up daisies by the break of dawn
you feeling drug down but you feeling strong
ya did what's right but cha done it wrong
Danger with the flame on
hold tight baby gotta take it all through the night
headlights screamin on a switch back pass
68 fury was built to last
Shotgun's slidin' underneath ya seat
shakes are comin' on can you feel the heat
let it fly, you know we're on the cusp
if not for love I'd do it all for lust
Danger with the flame on
hold tight baby gotta take it all through the night

All for You
05:20
|

|
I held you tightly in my arms
I did all for you
I covered you up like a locust swarm
I poured the wine, we danced the fool
locked in chains like lovers do
I do it all for you
anything you want me to
I'd do it all for you
Gunsights on the Berlin Wall
Every nation's rise and fall
The gas will someday dissapate
we'll be holding hands in the frozen waste
The cattle are climbing up the ramp
I sent those people to the camps
I held the curtains at the ford
I wrote some verses for the lord
Dropped that fat boy on Japan
Chairmain Mao and Uncle Sam
I helped them craft their master plan
Viscera lie on bloody sands
I do it all for you
I do it all for you
anything you want me to
I'd do it all for you

Never
02:12

|
Beautiful, You are so beautiful
in every way I can think of
always so sweet to me
I could never be in love with you
delicate like a summer flower
everyday I feel your power
I know that you are the one
but I could never be in love with you
so beautiful, oh so sweet and kind
every stitch in time
says I could never be in love with you
everything you do is graceful
beautiful and quite supreme
you give me ice cream
but I could never be in love with you
no I could never be in love with you
I could never be in love with you

Bodies

Who'll put the bodies in the ground
you keep making dirty rags and waving 'em all around
There's gonna be a lot more bodies in the ground
She said somethin's happenin' down there
but what it is ain't exactly clear
There's fire and fury yeah I can smell it in the air
There's gonna be some more bodies in the ground
Oh baby please take my hand and come to me
Who'll set 'em up and knock em down
you set em up babe I'll knock em down
they gonna put the bodies in the ground
It's gonna be me and you against the world
but were all in this world together boys girls
we gonna put those bodies in the ground
Oh baby please hold me tight, I can feel your need
Who's gonna go out and fight the war
if nobody goes out there won't be no goddamn war
There's gonna be a lot more bodies in the ground
Oh baby please touch my face and come to me
oh yes you, you can set me free
hold me tight, do you feel my need
We couldn't save the world but we tried
We stood up on the mountain and watched everybody die
We're gonna put the bodies in the ground.
Who'll put the bodies in the ground
you keep making dirty rags and waving 'em all around
There's gonna be a lot more bodies in the ground.

Sleep Now

Sleep now don't be afraid
I'll hold you all through the night
did you hear the news what those people have done
oh now what can it mean
on TV there's a man could you hear what he said
I hope that he does the right thing
Did you see our boys riding out to the war
ohhh how I hope they'll return
oh my child close your pretty eyes
the lights will come back on very soon
Sleep now Hold back your tears
I'll hold you all through the night
do you hear that baby crying out in the night
oh how I hope she is safe
Do you hear the shouts and the screams just outside
oh don't be frightened my dear
did you feel the windows shake, the air is getting hot
oh how I know everything will be fine
Hold my hand tight, tighter my dear
oh yes I know that it hurts
Sleep if you can don't be afraid
I will always be here
my kiss on your cheek our breath bleeds out like smoke
I fear that this is the end

Rub It
04:34
|

|
ohh no do you feel a little queasy
ohh no is everything a little strange
ohh no is it all uncertain, will you rub it til it's raw
stickin and lickin on a razor's edge
we're slippin and a sliding cross a wager cuttin' hedge
no rhyme nor reason in the dark of the night
we'll be pantin' and moanin' til the cold morning light
ohh no are you feelin' kinda queasy
ohh no are you feelin' kinda strange
ohh no is it all uneven will you rub it til it's raw
I've got hands and the new sign
walking with my monkey to the back of the line
licking my plate 'til it's clean again
like a noose from the rafters a soldier made of tin
I'm freeway ridin' after yesterdays news
a whole life of living on a plate full o’ blues
beauty and truth like the tits and the ass
I balance my needles on a blade of grass
ohh no are you feelin' kinda queasy
ohh no are you feelin' kinda strange
ohh no is it all uneven will you rub it til it's raw
a needle in a haystack, a pot set to boil
a candle in the breeze of another voyeur
flush with feel of the wind and the moan
squeezing more blood from the heart made of stone
ancient travellers on ancient shores
armed men banging on doors
who goes there, is it friend or foe
in my bed there's a candle in the window
ohh no are you feelin' kinda queasy
ohh no is everything a little strange
ohh no is it all uncertain, will you rub it til it's raw?

A love like ours my dear, well nothing could compare
it's mighty strength and depth was such a thing so rare.
We held on tight and took the leap, swirling to the deep
I will always be in love with you
you held my hand so very tight,
together stepped into the light
we locked in as one and so much more,
right there upon the kitchen floor
For us there were no reasons,
though there always was a rhyme
traveling companions to another space and time
we never once came up for air, the madness that we shared
Oh I will always be in love with you
You wrecked my bed and make me sore,
then sent me out into the war
You snatched the monkey off my back,
then threw my body to the pack
once I did believe that we were truly locked in time
the two of us against the world partnered in our crime
We held on tight and took the leap, swirling to the deep
I will always be in love with you
you chained me to the basement floor,
and like a slug I begged for more
Kicked up your heels and make a fuss,
then threw me underneath the bus
once I did believe that we were truly locked in time
the two of us against the world partnered in our crime
but then you took the loot, and you let me do the time
I will always be in love with you
These tender thoughts, my memories of you
still fit like a glove or a dirty old shoe
with a spit and a shine I've dissolved all the glue
that once kept me in thrall to you
When you've taken all a girl can take
throw my body in the lake
or cut me up down by the beach
then bury every single piece
You cut me to the bone then left you me all alone
The most tender kiss could never melt your heart made out of stone and no matter how I tried I couldn't reach you on the phone
If I by chance I turn my back
bring me down with 40 whacks
or with a hammer and a thunk
then stuff my body in a trunk
just a touch of arsenic, until my heart no longer ticks
hose me down with gasoline
then light a match and watch me scream
once I did believe that we were truly locked in time
the two of us against the world partnered in our crime
there never was a reason, now I'm lost without a rhyme
I will always be in love with you

I Am

I am sticky dribble. I am swimming stronger.
I am piercing membrane. I am.
I am hope. I am dreams. I am life. I am pain. I am
I am pure division. I am growing larger.
I am digits forming. I am.
I am pressure squeezing. I am getting closer.
I am mindless screaming. I am

No Home
04:30
|

|
I broke down on the side of the road
with a 10 dollar bill and a pack of smokes
I'd left home about a week before
didn't pay the rent didn't lock the door
got a knife in my belt a pistol in my lap
I know one thing I ain't goin' back
the sky has cracked no need to shout
gonna drive my ford 'til the gas runs out
Oooh I have no Home, now I walk alone
to the end of the world I'll roam, Oooh I have no home
the blood drips down from below my trunk
I left all my tools in a pile of junk
smoke on the land sand fire in the sky
if I know one thing it's never say die
it's all comin' down in an awful way
here's to the folks who got in my way
a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do
until this thing is done and through
Oooh I have no Home. now I walk alone.
to the end of the world I'll roam. Oooh I have no home
the sky went black the earth shook hard
a ball of fire blew up through the yard
I ran to the house fast as I could
though I knew I probably couldn't do no good
when a man calls out to his wife and child
and he don't hear nothin' he goes kinda wild
Oooh I have no Home. now I walk alone.
to the end of the world I'll roam. Oooh I have no home.
I'm broken down on the side of the road
with a 10 dollar bill and a pack of smokes
a whole different kind of road I'll find
than the kind of road I've left behind
I put one foot down and one foot up
and one foot down and one foot up
I put one foot down and one foot up
and one foot down 'til they can't catch up.

Oh I can see a bright place at the end of this long winding road it's opened to me, we'll open our hearts and our minds to a whole different way we could live and could all strive to be
yes you and me we've travelled so far screaming an end to the Czars tearing them down and announcing the old order dead in it's grave and a new child of freedom will open its eyes to the world
Come with me to end of this road, help me to carry my burden, this load, it strangles my soul, yes tear it from me, like a gift or a token, and have faith in the power and strength we will need to survive
Look here with me this map shows the way to that bright shining place at the end of our road, trapped in the folds and the tears... the work of so many who've given their lives for the cause
Yes you like some beautiful flower your strength your heart your power, like a muse inspiring the multitudes they'll tear down these walls and then bring this regime to its knees
So come to me most beautiful one my heart my light my sun, a promise this hour our sacred pact that We must not fail no we must not fail, for failure is death to us all
