From Now On 05:00
lyrics

From Now On i wont be your crying shoulder From now on I wont be by your side From now on I wont be a ring on your finger From now on I wont be hiding in plain sight I wont be locked up in your nightmares I wont be so kind I wont be your court jester I wont be ribbed for your pleasure Didn't take no tap to find my spine From now on No more Not now Not yours From now on things will go my way From now on Things are going to go my way This highwayman will kick you to the curb You're finally defeated Put an egg in your shoe and beat it Goodbye is all I'll take for your last word From now on

People Change 04:09
lyrics
buy track
People change People stay the same Changing with the seasons There's no rhyme or reason I'm afraid I'm going astray Following the leader Following the craze Alone again Without a friend Illuminate Or go away Gone again Gone to ground Silence makes The only sound People change People stay the same I don't see a pattern Doesn't really matter I'm afraid I'm going astray Following your footsteps Cradle to the grave Answer me Why can't you see Gonna carry on Til I'm dead and gone Run away Run aground Lost again Lost and found Take your time Read the signs Born again Born to die Pick and choose What's to lose The only one On the run

Bad Seed 03:53
lyrics
buy track
Heard about Miss Lori She was bound for glory But she found some sin And went right in Ran out in the morning When I heard about the scandal I burned like a roman candle I tried to cope but I lost all hope And it got too hard to handle I'm a bad seed Dirty words sound clean when I'm around They can run me out of town They just can't keep a bad man down A night of drunken laughter She left the morning after She left a note That's all that she wrote But I had to end the chapter Victim of the visions I went into the kitchen Took a knife and I took a life the judge gave life in prison You don't have to wonder If I got out from under Got a ball and chain And a brand new name That gets spelled out in numbers Stuck me in Shawshank To leave me to my jailbreak Single file, a concrete mile How long could it take? I'm a bad seed I dream up dirty deeds and show you how They can put me in the ground They just can't keep a bad man down

Just Another Beautiful Day (in the 'Hood) 03:10
lyrics
buy track
Stop me if you have heard this one before My life is a joke with no punch in the line Ain't asking for pity or sweet sympathy Just something to turn off my mind Yesterday's gone sayonara so long Tomorrow's forever away Its just another beautiful day in the hood And I think everything is OK Whatever it is they're spraying into the air Is making me feel like a fool But nothing is wrong when the TV is on Except when I'm watching the news They take every cent I got nothing to save The rich man's plan is turning us into slaves And the man in the Blaine House is placing the blame On the poor and the weak I've been meaning to speak out But then the new season of Idol came on Wait what was I saying? I got a pink house and a white picket fence Two point five kids in the yard I guess I would say that I'm fairly content As long as I don't think about it too hard I got a guitar and an old beat up car That gets me from Point A to B I got my girl on my arm and I got my weed card And I guess that's all that I need.

On And On 03:48
lyrics
buy track
Driving in the rain Wishing for the end Its goes on and on All the yellow lines Solid on my side They go on and on All the license plates Hail from out of state it goes on and on Riding on the brake Had all I can take It goes on and on Never get anywhere Nowhere's where I've always been A road that never ends Never going home Always all alone It goes on and on On the radio Music soft and slow It goes on and on Never get anywhere Nowhere's where I'll always be Driving endlessly

Chemistry 02:37
lyrics
buy track
You paint flowers In the morning hours You've got a new name You don't play the dating game Remember back in '93 You and I had chemistry And I always wanted to talk to you but I never did You've got a kid with a blond dad And a kid with a gone dad The new guy stepped in With room for the kids hers and his I remember back in '93 You and I had chemistry And I always wanted to talk to you but I never did You still fit in your high school jeans I still have my high school dreams You and I have history Starting back in '93 And I wanted to talk to you but I never did I remember back in '93 You and I had chemistry And I always wanted to talk to you but I never did It's February Might be a nice day in April or May

The Hall Way 03:05
lyrics
buy track
Do it do it Do it in the Hall way Don't be afraid I'm going to sow my wild Oates I'm going to play the wrong notes I'm going to seize the day Overworked and underplayed Going to walk on down the Hall Going to have an unnatural ball So close your private eyes And feel my blessing in disguise Going to find me a Maneater Going to be so good to meet her I'm going to make Sara smile I'll be in here for a while So get off while you can The morning brings the sunshine in Do it

Sapphire 02:45
lyrics
buy track
Sapphire You're cold and blue Who could help but fall for you Sapphire Blue as the sky Don't ever say goodbye I don't care If you should wear Your blue wedding gown You'll never settle down They can only borrow you For a night or two But who's the fool? Sapphire You're cold as ice And you know you're always right Sapphire Bright as the sun You're the only one I don't mind When other guys Take you for a drive While I drink in dives Those rich boys And fancy toys Might catch your eye But they'll never satisfy You're the treasure that they all want to possess Your loveliness Just can't be caged I'll make all your lonely blues all fade away Like worn-in jeans beneath sunlight rays Sapphire You're cold and blue Who could help but fall for you

Somebody Help Me 03:49
lyrics
buy track
Somebody help me; somebody help me Cuz I don’t think I can make it on my own I got ambition And means to get ahead I got enemies that need me And friends that want me dead Don’t trust nobody But always I’m concerned With the purpose they might serve Stop look and listen Get up on your feet Look both directions Before you cross the street If you’re run over Was it worth what lies On the other side? I’ve got a talisman I wear it on a chain Got a prescription to alleviate my pain I’m stocked with rations enough to last for years So what am I to fear? Stop look and listen Keep on your toes Just how they’ll get you Nobody really knows Will it be poison, Starvation or disease That brings you to your knees? I’m feeling better Than I’ve ever have before Feel like a tower That has 100 floors On the horizon Blue skies, no sign of rain Do I hear a plane?

A Good Night For Love Songs 02:20
lyrics
buy track
It’s a good night for love songs A night such as this The moon is on fire And the stars have been drowned in mist It’s a good night for love songs When you hardly can stand The intimate distance Between our two hands No one can replace you Though many may try No one can take your place In the space out of time It’s a good night for love songs The long kiss good night That’s starts with the darkness And ends in the morning light The drive-in was empty We watched from my car A screen with no picture A sky without stars We made our own music Alone in our minds We made our own paradise In this space out of time It’s a good night for love songs And dreams that came true Left with no trace this place Escaping with you

Clowns 04:42
lyrics
buy track
Clowns Spin you round and around We got to run them out of this town Got a message for you clowns Wash off your face paint Let’s start over; clean slate I hope we didn’t wait too long And it’s not too late (Ladies and gentlemen, the greatest show on earth) They juggle and fumble and tumble pell-mell And spray water from flowers upon their lapel In the faces of those they pretend to protect And the frills hide the leashes tightly clasped to their necks they cram themselves into a red white and blue car The smoke and the mirrors will make them the star Pay close attention to their tricks and their antics If we knew the truth it just might cause a panic (from Washington, DC) ( See the tattoed lady, see the dogfaced boy, human oddities) They dance and they flip ‘til they make a mistake And another one comes in to take that one’s place And finally two will be left in the game And when you look closer they’re exactly the same Under their makeup what are we to find Slaughterhouse soldiers with axes to grind Predators kill while pretending to care It might make me laugh If I wasn’t’ so scared they toot their own horn with a squeezed rubber ball And very soon one will be the face of it all Directed by the ringmasters behind the scenes All in the name of the American dream one cheats on his taxes; one cheats on his wife and the one no one likes is the closest to right but they are all clowns; please make no mistake get ‘em out of the circus before its too late

Send Me Out 04:31
lyrics
buy track
Send me out into the night You don’t live here any more All my questions answered But the one I’m looking for Send me out into the world With a small piece of your mind I won’t be any wiser But I wont be wasting time We just weren’t for each other I knew it all the time But I never had the courage To leave our world behind Send me out into the night I don’t live here anymore All your questions answered With the closing of the door Send me out into the world With a smile across my throat Don’t need to write a novel To say that’s all she wrote We weren’t right for each other I knew it all along I wish that I had wisdom Instead of knowing right from wrong Send me out into the night The way I never thought you would Never thought you had the courage I never thought you could But seeing is believing Now I say my last goodbye If my gravestone falls to vandals Its mostly likely justified Keep my ashes on the mantel if the cemetery burns And before you go to sleep at night Pray I won’t return Send me out into the night

We Get Around 04:40
lyrics
buy track
We get around like ring around the collar Anything to make a dollar Never knowing what we’re sowing All we know is always be closing I am the no-account I am the one that got left out Don’t think that I’ll amount to much Guess that’s alright We get around its not like you don’t see us We got a bill in every mailbox in town If you are not for us You are not our friend And you will never get too far ahead I am a no-account Sitting around my parent’s house Racking up debt with recklessness Sign it away We get around to every target market Satisfaction always guaranteed Tailor-made Made the grade With no-accounts there’s no account for taste I am a no-account Ill take this lying down Shoved down upon the cold, cold ground By the powers that be I don’t know what is right No one to be my guiding light If I don’t lose the fight tonight Nobody wins

When The Clouds Part 02:58
lyrics
buy track
When the clouds part And we’re no longer in the dark It’s the start of something new Dead men tell tales In photographs they never fail To make it all come true A castle reflected in a still green pond We’ll all get along When we all have one When the clouds part And we’re no longer in the dark What will we have to say? Dead men wear white Men in black hide out of sight To fight another day
 A castle reflected in a still blue lake When we all awaken What difference will we make? A hungry man with questions Let in through the gate No longer hungry But the question still remains Do you feed or do you eat? Is it you and I that meet Or are we one and the same Is a name all that separates us? When the clouds lift And we see through the mist We have risen from the dead Men forget their place In the human race When they get too far ahead A castle reflected in a cold black sea Is it near or far away Is it you and me? Never mind the questions that might lead you astray Follow in the footsteps Of those that lead the way Is it triumph or defeat Is it you and I that meet Or are we one and the same Is the game all that separates us? When the clouds part We're no longer in the dark Its the start of something new
