1. DRAW THE LINE

Chaaa....

Checkmate honey beat'choo at'chor own damn game
No dice honey I'm livin' on a astral plane
Feet's on the ground and your head's goin' down the drain
Oh heads I win tails you lose to the nether mind
When to draw the line

A Indian summer Carrie was all over the floor
She was a wet nap winner and rarely ever left the store
She'd sing and dance all night and wrong all the right outta me
Oh... pass me the vile and cross your fingers it don't take time
Know where to draw the line

Hi ho silver we were singin' all your cowboy song
Oh... you told Carrie and promised her you wouldn't be long
Heads I win tails you lose lord it's such a crime
No dice honey you the salt you're the queen of the brine
Checkmate honey you're the only one who's got ta choose
Where to draw the line

Aaaahhh... checkmate don't be late
Take another bow
That's right...
Impossible... when you got to be yourself
You're the boss of the toss
The dice... the price
Write yourself a song and draw the line

Ooo... line
Ooo... line
Ooo... line
Ooo... line
Ooo... line
Ooo... line
Ooo... line
Ooo... line
Ooo... line


2. I WANNA KNOW WHY

Uuuuhh....

Kickin' down the road
Feelin' mighty slowed
With the likes of you

Gettin' mighty spaced
Never had a taste
Of what you're goin' through

I can't bitch
Went from rags to riches
Then to ragtime screamin' the blues

I wanna know why
Everybody's good intentions
Try to make a fool outta me

I wanna know why
Everybody's good intentions
Gotta make a fool
Gotta make a fool
Try to make a fool outta me

Swing low
Sweet cherry o
When a strange love showed me the way

Ya see more
Can't keep a score
When the whore's comin' on for the play

I wanna know why
Everybody's good intentions
Gotta make a fool outta me

I wanna know why
Everybody's good intentions
Gotta make a fool
Gotta make a fool
Try to make a fool outta me

E. Poe
Eatin' crow
Wonder if he knowed that the raven was mad

Time passed
And words lost the last
Of the best thing he ever had

I wanna know why
Everybody's good intentions
Gotta make a fool outta me

I wanna know why
Everybody's good intentions
Gotta make a fool
Gotta make a fool
Try to make a fool outta me

Oh... play rough
And can't get enough
So they try to make a fool outta me... lordy

Ain't foolin' me
Ya ain't ghoulin' me
Ain't foolin' me
Ya ain't ghoulin' me


3. CRITICAL MASS

A one... two... three... four
Two... two... three...

Arriving in boats black hooded coats
Tormentors climbed into my room
I crawled under my bed covered my head
But they're flushin' me out with a broom

The leader she's small pinned my ass to the wall
For it seems that she'd be losin' her past
Time after time she'd be readin' my mind
But she never got the feelin' to last

Celebrate celebrate celebrate it
This is critical mass

So far so good I heard the others say
So good so far they're takin' me away
Dream you... your mind her ass
We'll take a drink and break the glass

Celebrate celebrate celebreak it
This is a critical mass

Now the tallest of two with a brush full of blue
Paints surrealist scenes on the wall
So I tell her for fun that they're really well done
But he just ain't listenin' at all

He points to my heart tellin' me if I'm smart
Practice for days
How does it feel when the shoe doesn't fit
And I went screamin' out down the hall

Really need it
Really need your love
Really need your love
Need your love need your love love love love love love love love love love

Just then I heard a poundin' on the door
We're all here sang the voice of twenty four
I dreamt a you her lass
We'll take a drink and break the glass

Celebrate celebrate celebreak it
We are critical mass

Time in space is takin' me away
Time erase don't know the time of day
Time in space is takin' me away
Time erase don't know the time of day
Time in space is takin' me away
Time erase don't know the time of day


4. GET IT UP

Take me on you rockin' whores
Hit the lights and shut your doors
Grab your ankles everyone
Ain't my way of having fun

Can't give it up... gotta get it up... give it up... c'mon Nancy
Can't get it up... get it up... for your fancy
Gotta get it up... get it up... c'mon Nancy
Can't get it up... gotta get it up... get it up

For your fantasies my ass don't speculate
I'm just your slave your master's bait
And lots of luck into the night
Just waitin' for the bright light fright

Can't give it up... gotta give it up... get it up... c'mon Nancy
Can't give it up... get it up... for your fancy
Gotta give it up... get it up... c'mon Nancy
Get it up... gotta get it up... c'mon Nancy... yeah

Really have a good time
Really have a good time
Suckin' up the moonshine
Up underneath her clothesline

Really have a good time
Love me 'til the sun

Can't give it up... gotta get it up... get it up... c'mon Nancy
Can't get it up... gotta get it up... get it up... get it up... for your fancy
Gotta get it up... give it up... get it up... c'mon Nancy
Can't get it up... gotta get it up... get it up... get it up

Get it up and down and all around
Take the ride and paint the town
Slow me down and make it fast
Scream almost and make it last

You know you gotta really have a good time
You know your really gonna really have a good time
Suckin' up the moonshine
Up underneath the her clothesline

You know your really gonna
Really have a good time
You know you really wanna
Love me 'til the sun

Can't get it up
Get it up


5. BRIGHT LIGHT FRIGHT

It's the dawn of the day and I'm crashed and I'm smashed
As it is I'm feelin' like my chips are cashed
All of my clothes strewn all over the room
The crisis at hand is I'm all outta zoom

I got the sunlight blues
I can't find my shoes
The only thing on TV
Is the good mornin' news

The tricks of the night keepin' me in a daze
We'll open a bottle and I'll pull down the shades
Glance in the mirror back into bed
Forget that it's day... time to party again

I got the sunlight blues
I can't find my shoes
The only thing on TV
Is the good morning news

Bright Light Fright
Bright Light Fright
Bright Light Fright
Go... gimme the night

Bright Light Fright
Bright Light Fright
Bright Light Fright
Go... gimme the night

I got the sunlight blues
I can't find my shoes
The only thing on TV
Is the good morning news... wooh

Oua...

Bright Light Fright
Bright Light Fright
Bright Light Fright
Go... gimme the night

Bright Light Fright
Bright Light Fright
Bright Light Fright
Go... gimme the night

I got the sunlight blues
I can't find my shoes
The only thing on TV
Is the good morning news


6. KINGS AND QUEENS

Long ago in days I'm told
Were ruled by Lords of greed
Maidens fared with gold
They dared to bare their wombs that bleed

Kings and queens and guillotines
Taking lives denied
Starch and parchment laid the laws
When bishops took the ride
Only to deceive

Oh I know I lived this life afore
Somehow know now truths I must be sure
Tossin turnin' nightmares burnin' dreams of swords in hand
Sailin' ships the Viking spits the blood of father's land
Only to deceive

Living times of knights and mares
Raising swords for maidens fair
Sneer at death fear only loss of pride

Live in other centuries
Deja vu or what'cha please
Follows true to all who do or die

Screams of no reply... they died
Screams of no reply... and died
Lordy lordy and then then they died
Lordy no then they died

Oooooohhhhh......

Live and do or die
Long ago in days I'm told... Lord they died
Kings and queens and guillotines...
Live and no reply... they died
Long ago in days I'm told...
Kings and queens and guillotines...


7. THE HAND THAT FEEDS

Aa...

Doctor doctor doctor
Please doctor doctor please
Doctor doctor doctor
Feel like a old disease

Doctor doctor doctor
Get your sweet ass off the floor
Doctor doctor doctor
I can't refuse any loose hearted lady anymore

I scream your name into the crowd
You feel the flame but you ain't proud
Maybe your attitude ain't right
So all that's left for me to do is bite the hand that Feeds me (feeds me)

Doctor doctor doctor
Doctor doctor please

All things you put me through
What the hell you want me to...
Do all the things that Uncle John needs
I ain't the dog that bites the hand that feeds me

In the middle of... with a spittle of...
Et tu like birds of a feather
When another day love another way
Push shove make love play

Never never never ever
Never ever never ever
Na na na na

Well
Doctor doctor doctor
Please do me what you can
Doctor doctor doctor
Would you please give my life a hand

All things you put me through
A what the hell you want me to...
Do all the things that Uncle John needs
I ain't the dog that bites the hand that feeds... me... yeah

Doctor doctor doctor
Please doctor doctor please
Doctor doctor doctor

Doctor doctor doctor
Doctor doctor doctor
Doctor doctor doctor
Doctor doctor doctor


8. SIGHT FOR SORE EYES

Uuhh...

Goin' downtown goin' down goin' down
'Neath the city eatin' ground round
Underground is pretty gritty

I turned the screw she held the light
That's when I knew she was a...

Sight for sore eyes
(She was a sight for sore eyes)
She was a sight for sore eyes
(She was a sight for sore eyes)
(We're talkin' pretty gritty)

Playin' no fair sleepin' under stairs
Downtown's a pity takin' fast fares
Every where's pretty gritty

I turned the screw she held the knife
Oh holy Jesus

She's a sight for sore eyes
(Oh she's a nitty nitty nitty)
You a sight for sore eyes
(Oh... she's a nitty gritty)

Turnin' in style
Walk a mile for your titty
Naked foul while under there
Underwear that's pretty gritty

Hey... don'tchoo know people
She's a love lust hussy
She left oh she rushed me
Dear old girl

She was a sight for sore eyes
(But she was sittin' pretty)
Sight for sore eyes
(She was a nitty gritty)
Sight for sore eyes
Sight for sore eyes

Peeled back and parted
Even in the car
It was delight or demise
I'm livin' like a leopard king

Sight for sore eyes

She was a sight for sore eyes
Sight for sore eyes
Sight for sore eyes
Sight for sore eyes
Sight for sore eyes
Sight for sore eyes
Sight for sore eyes
Sight for sore eyes
Sight for sore eyes
Sight for sore eyes
Sight for sore eyes
Sight for sore eyes
Sight for sore eyes


9. MILK COW BLUE

Oooaa....

Well I tried everything
A just to get along wit'choo
And I'm gonna tell ya just
What I'm gonna do

A well I'm sick of all your cryin'
When you should be leavin' me alone
If you don't believe me
You pack my bag I'm gone

Won'tcha please
A don't that sun look good goin' down
That old moon looks so lonesome
When your ol' man ain't around

Won'tcha please
Don't that sun look good goin' down
Won't ya please
Don't that sun look good goin' down
Well you best believe that I love ya baby
When your ol' man ain't around

New dance

A don't that sun (sun) look (look) good (good) goin' down
Won't ya please.... wooa
Don't that sun look good goin' down
Well you best believe that I love ya baby
When your ol' man ain't around

And around and around and
Around and around and
Around and round and
Round and round and
Round and round... yak yak yak yak yao...

Round....

? (W'look out for me) ?
