Something Dirty Goin' On
03:07
|
|||
Another day, another walk
Too much time for idle talk
My time and my mind just slippin’ away
My dreams are blank, no visions today.
I try to be smart and try to hold fast
I like it when the crowd is aghast
Quantum level chess on a holographic field
Preacher sayin’, all will be revealed!
Somethin’ dirty, somethin’ dirty, somethin’ dirty’s going on
Tired of wakin’ up, achin’, naked on the lawn
Somethin’ dirty, dirty, dirty, somethin’ dirty goin’ on
Suspicions risin’, conclusions drawn
Lookin’ for a chance to make my escape
Contingency plans startin’ to take shape
Two steps ahead of who-knows-what
Can’t get away from the ifs, ands, or buts
Sunrise waiting for the next sunset
The day will come, on that you can bet
Go all in, it’s not too hard
Now which sleeve was I hidin’ that card?

Can't Stem The Tide
03:03
|

One day, you’ll say, show a little faith in me
But it’s always, always something,
and we never seem to agree
It’s just a matter of time,
wondering when you’re gonna change your mind
If not for love, it’s not for nothing, you can’t stem the tide
Someday or someway, have a little sympathy
All the signs, well, they say,
you’re tired of waiting for me
It’s just a matter of time,
wondering when you’ll make up your your mind
If not for love, it’s not for nothing, you can’t stem the tide
Hey babe, what’s that you say,
don’t interrupt me, no not today
Hey now, you just slide away saying, everything’ll be alright
It’s just a matter of time,
wondering if you’ll ever change your mind
If not for love, it’s not for nothing, you can’t stem the tide

Out Of Time
03:23
|

I thought I saw you, I know that’s crazy
Maybe I dreamed it, maybe I didn’t
We had forever, so we got lazy
But I never, thought I’d never, see you again
Na na na na na na na, Na na na na na na na
Maybe we just ran out, we ran out of time
Maybe we just ran out, we ran out of time
Was it good as, I remember?
What’s the difference, what’s the difference?
We had forever, so we got lazy
But I never, thought I’d never, see you again
Na na na na na na na, Na na na na na na na
See you again (Never, never, never)
Maybe we just ran out, we ran out of time
Maybe we just ran out, we ran out of time
I don’t want to talk about it - it makes no sense

Slow Self Driving Car
03:15
|

I need a slow, self-driving car
Maybe not too smart, with the heart of a star
Self contained, with just one job
Simple plan, to get ahead of the mob
I need a slow, self-driving car
No Beep-beep, beep-beep, yeah, driver for this star
Isolation works, when it comes to this job
Takes a better man to get ahead of the mob
There I can think, there I can dream
Maybe I’ll cry, maybe I’ll scream
Over the bridges and thru the woods
Using black grid roads to deliver the goods
You need a slow, self-driving car
Smile and wave to those who think you’re a star
All those fans, come to see and sob
Always feeding off the embrace of the mob
We need a slow, self-driving car
Maybe that shiny, blue one behind the bar
Always an adventure with this job
Simple plan to get ahead of the mob

Another Dance
03:35
|

Twelve years old, Summer of Love
Soon enough, push came to shove
Clung too tight, they’d crushed the dove
Came too late to the Summer of Love
Summers came and summers went
Wasted time, best days spent
Old habits just don’t want to relent
Best intentions, not worth a cent
Is it too late, still a chance?
for another try, another dance?
Is it too late ... (too late, too late)
For another ... Summer of Love?
Fashions come, and fashions will go
Here comes another circus show
Just another do-si-do
You’ve seen it all, for all you know
Everyone’s hurt, their ego’s bruised
So hard to fix, so much to lose
Don’t look back, you’ll just get confused
Here’s a love bomb, who’ll light the fuse?
It’s getting dark, failing light
Could be ... the end is in sight
Don’t give up, c’mon, show some fight
Maybe this time we’ll get it right

Drive On
03:12
|
|||
On we drive into the settin’ sun
Blood red sky to the west
Head straight down the Boulevard
Keep your cards close to your chest
Just keep hopin’ for the best
Find an all-night parking lot,
Then meet me at the bar
Leave the briefcase with the hat check girl
And the product in the car
Please tell me you locked the car...
Don’t keep askin’ me questions
Do the deal and we’ll be gone
Stay in your lane, and keep singin’ this refrain
Drive on, Drive on, Drive on
Sweaty palms on the steering wheel
Heart poundin’ in your chest?
Calm down and take a couple of these
Soon we’ll be out of this mess
And just keep hopin’ for the best
Too late to cut and run
You know the reason why
Can’t hide in the City of Angels,
And you’re all out of alibis
And your dreams have already died

Country Road Lies
03:17
|
|||
The truth is, I lie all the time
Family, friend, or client, just get in line
I lie even more, cause I use pills
I’ll be out the door, leaving you with my bills
I like to drive down country roads
With my windows rolled all the way down
Drive real fast down country roads
So my lies can’t be found
Lord no not me sir
Lord no not me
Lord no not me sir
Lord no not me
The truth is, I lie all the time
Except for the times, something’s on the line
I lie even more, cause I found the Lord
I beg forgiveness, from the state’s mighty sword
I like to drive down country roads
With my windows rolled all the way down
Drive real fast down country roads
So my lies can’t be found

Tallest Palm
03:33
|
|||
Sunset on the patio, cocktails by the pool
Tiki torches flickering, the moon shines pale and cool
I watch him pull you closer with a kiss and a caress
Using every trick he knows, he’s desperate to impress
Cuz when he pulls you close, and you gaze into his eyes
You tell how you want him, and other lover’s lies
Meet me at the tallest palm
Come to me with your red dress on
I’ll be waiting with my pistol drawn
I’ll be waiting at the tallest palm
The scent of rising passion, fills the evening breeze
He can have you just for now, do what he please
Cuz when he pulls you close, and you gaze into his eyes
You tell how you want him, and other lover’s lies
Meet me at the tallest palm
Come to me with your red dress on
I’ll be waiting with my pistol drawn
I’ll be waiting at the tallest palm

Good To Be Alive
03:06
|

I’m in love with the world, now the winds is in a whirl
The clock is ticking down, the jewels fall off the crown
Out of the blue, and over night, a spark in the dark, turn out the light Now’s the witching time, riding broom, spitting fire
Oh the running kind, you raised a king then let him fly
You’re dancing with the devil, hey now my my
Say a prayer on Christmas Day, when the wise men lose their way
Can’t tell right from wrong, we play along
The knights and dragons failed to bring, the rotten harvest to their king Double trouble, never say goodbye
Sometimes I shy away from my dreams that are in play
My senses steer me wrong, we play along
Come judgement day for the king, you failed to bring the precious ring Was there any doubt, hey now my my
Bless me father I have sinned, I wouldn’t miss this for anything
There will come a day and I will bow and I will pay
It’s good to be alive
