1. HELL'S KITCHEN

Down in the cellar where the rabies and the rats are free
Back wood boy had an inbred mother, lost his mind to an early disease
Digging in the dirt in an old graveyard where a body once rest in peace
Down to the cellars on the steps to hell on the tail of a devil's belief, yeah

Well momma's baby gonna cut you to the bone

'Cause I'm in hell (hell) hell's kitchen
Nowhere to go with the serpent dancing down below, yeah-yeah
I'm in hell (hell) hell's kitchen
Brought back the soul when the black bell rings and the burning that's down below
Yeah-yeah-yeah!

Eyes of evil caught me staring in disbelief
Butt of a gun, caught red handed, staring in on a dead man's thief
Seven miles from the nearest town, got strapped to a cold oak seat
Momma don't you lose your appetite when it's time for you to eat

Well momma's baby gonna cut you to the bone

'Cause I'm in hell (hell) hell's kitchen
Nowhere to go with the serpent dancing down below, yeah-yeah
I'm in hell (hell) hell's kitchen
Brought back the soul when the black bell rings and the burning that's down below
Yeah-yeah-yeah!

Uh! Uh! Uh! Burn in hell

Daddy's come home, don't look like he's all there
Bitter smell of Cajun stew bleeds through the midnight air

Well momma's baby gonna cut you to the bone

'Cause I'm in hell (hell) hell's kitchen
Nowhere to go with the serpent dancing down below, yeah-yeah
I'm in hell (hell) hell's kitchen
Brought back the soul when the black bell rings and the burning that's down below
Yeah-yeah-yeah!
Hell (hell) hell's kitchen
I'm in hell (hell) hell's kitchen


2. SOUL SURVIVE

Come on', yeah!

Ow!

Here we go!

I've seen everything a man could see
I've seen the strong survive
I've seen a young boy crying for food
I've seen an old man die

I've seen the system fall apart from the rules
And all our Presidents lie
I've seen the needle and the damage it's done
The wreckage left behind

My soul survives
Forever doing time on a dead-end street
My soul survives
Blood like wine running down to my feet, yeah-yeah, yeah!

I've seen the broken dreams and broken hearts
I've seen the strong be cruel
I've seen a man driven by success
And break the golden rules

I've seen 'em execute a man for love
Blood running cold in the street
I've seen the wars and the heartache it's done
God bless our soul to keep

My soul survives
Forever doing time on a dead-end street
My soul survives
Blood like wine running down to my feet
My soul survives
Forever
My soul survives
Pick yourself up off your hands and knees
I get so pissed off, it makes me wanna scream, yeah, yeah!

Ooh-ooh, yeah!
No, no, no!

I've seen the gunshot heard around the world
I've seen a young child crawling and fondle the earth
I've seen everything a man could see
I've seen heaven, hell, it makes no difference to me, yeah!

My soul survives
Forever doing time on a dead-end street
My soul survives
Blood like wine running down to my feet
My soul survives
Forever
My soul survives
Pick yourself up off your hands and knees, yeah-yeah, yeah!
Bless my soul
My soul survives
Whoa, no, yeah!

C'mon boys, yeah!


3. TUESDAY'S RAIN

Tuesday's rain falls like a river on my head
And who's to blame for the signal turning red
As I stand here all alone
And count the sands of time
I watch the sunshine yielding
To the night

There's nothing left for me
But my restless soul
My starring role
In a faded memory

Like Tuesday's rain
It's falling down on me
Tuesday's rain

The thrill is gone
I'm numb to the burning pain of love
And I can't explain why I held on so long

As I wait for my new high
And sit on my mood swing
And drift out like the tide
Into the deep blue sea


4. UNLUCKY MR. LUCKY
(lyrics unavailable)


5. END OF MY ROPE

Alright, we're gonna take a ride
Whoa yeah!

Big fat lies and second hand news
Pocket full of change, ain't got nothing to lose
And this old hat don't fit me anymore

I'm burning time in a cheap hotel
I really don't mind 'cause I do it well
And on the way out, won't you close the door?

Thieves and lovers, jokers and mothers
Can't get enough of that mind in the gutter
Pushers, preachers fighting for the streets
I'm losing my grip and sliding down to the end of my rope

Well lord, I'm losing hope, yeah!
Down at the end of my rope
Well lord, I'm losing control, yeah-yeah!
Down at the end of my rope, that's right

I'm the high wire act with the circus in town
There ain't any net if I hit the ground
But they wouldn't mind a bit if I took a fall, no they won't

Well it's a ruthless world with a painted face
Ain't nothin' gonna change but the time and place
So you better watch your back in the mirror on the wall

Winners and losers, beggars and choosers
Talkers, doers lost in illusion
Lawyers, villains, hometown killings
It's all the same to me down at the end of my rope

Well lord, I'm losing hope, yeah!
Down at the end of my rope
Well lord, I'm losing control, yeah-yeah!
Down at the end of my rope
Well lord, I'm losing hope, yeah-yeah!
Down at the end of my rope
Well lord, I'm losing control, yeah-yeah-yeah!

Big fat lies and second hand news
Pocket full of change, ain't got nothin' to lose
And this old hat don't fit me anymore, yeah-yeah!
Down at the end of my rope

Well lord, I'm losing hope
Down at the end of my rope
Well lord, I'm losing control, yeah-yeah!
Down at the end of my rope
Well lord, I'm losing hope, yeah-yeah
Down at the end of my rope
Well lord, I'm losing control, yeah-yeah!
Down at the end of my'¦
Down at the end of my rope


6. HEAVEN WINDS BLOW

In the chill of a silence, just a church bell ring in my head
I thought of my new destiny as I lay in my dying bed
I came across an old man who had traveled far and wide
Told me of his memories and the world he left behind

He said you can't stop and worry about the things that you've done
There'll be no more looking back when the judgment day comes
Judgment day is coming, yeah!

He can change the seasons, he can change the day to night
Teach the world to live and breathe where religion has no wrong or right
I'll tell your son a secret, a secret right before you go
I'm the man that made that heaven above, I'm the man that made the earth below

He said you can't stop and worry about the things that you've done
Thereâ??ll be no more looking back when the judgment day comes

Well I'll be waiting, I'll be standing all alone
Outside looking in when the heaven winds blow
Lord have mercy, have mercy on my soul
Outside looking in when the heaven winds blow

Heaven winds blow, yeah-yeah!
See the heaven winds, heaven winds are blowing, alright

Yeah-yeah-yeah!
I'll be waiting, I'll be standing all alone
Outside looking in when the heaven winds blow
Whoa, yeah-yeah!
Lord have mercy, have mercy on my soul
Outside looking in when the heaven winds blow
Whoa, yeah-yeah!
I'll be waiting, I'll be standing all alone
Outside looking in when the heaven winds blow
Lord have mercy, have mercy on my soul
Outside looking in when the heaven winds blow
Whoa, yeah-yeah!
Heaven winds
Heaven winds blow-oh-oh, yeah-yeah!
Heaven winds blow-oh-oh, yeah-yeah!
Heaven
See the heaven winds, heaven winds are blowin', alright
See the heaven winds, heaven winds are blowin'


7. BLOOD ON THE HIGHWAY

8. GOODBYE YESTERDAY

Well I got up late again today
So sorry I missed you again and again yesterday

I couldn't get my head together
Enough to dress myself
It's something deep inside of me
Something I just canâ? t help

I watch the time take a toll on my mind
And the lines deepen under my eyes
I ask myself if I'm still alive
Can I do it one more time?

Well I say goodbye to yesterday
Forget about the pain, yeah!
Hope that time just rolls away

They say you'll pay for your mistakes
I've learned my lessons, yeah the hard way

When you're downhill, out of control
And you ain't got any brakes
It ain't hard to kiss the ground you're on
When it's shoved up in your face

I watch the time take a toll on my mind
And the lines deepen under my eyes
I ask myself if I'm still alive
Can I do it one more time?

I say goodbye to yesterday
Forget about the pain, yeah!
Hope that time just rolls away
And never comes back again
I say goodbye to yesterday
I'll throw it all away, yeah!
You know that something's got to change
So goodbye, yeah, to yesterday

I lay awake in the dead of the night
Turning 'round and 'round till the morning light

There's a weight like a ton of bricks, oh lord
Laying on my head
I keep finding myself right here
Again and again and again, yeah!

I say goodbye to yesterday
Forget about the pain, yeah!
Hope that time just rolls away
And never comes back again
I say goodbye to yesterday
Then I throw it all away, yeah!
You know that something's got to change
So goodbye, yeah, to yesterday
I say goodbye to yesterday
I say goodbye to yesterday
Throw it all away, yeah!
I say goodbye to yesterday
I say goodbye to yesterday
Throw it all away


9. WASTED TIME

10.TAKING A WALK

(lyrics unavailable)


11. Hangman Swing

There aint no judge, no jury down around El Paso
Hangman posse blazing my trail before I get to Mexico
Thirteen guns were tracking, side the Rio Grande they rode
About a debt I owe, yeah!

Through the heat of the desert sun underneath a blackbirds wing
I keeping one step ahead of the gun
Or Ill be stretching my neck in a noose
Doing the hangman swing

Sheriff wants to lynch me for what I did to his wife
Well how was I to know it was her, but it damn sure was nice
Now they want to see me dancing on the end of a rope
About a debt I owe, yeah!

Through the heat of the desert sun underneath a blackbirds wing
I keeping one step ahead of the gun
Or Ill be stretching my neck in a noose
Doing the hangman swing

Hangman swing (hangman swing)
Its hangman swing, swing, swing
Hangman swing (hangman swing)
Cmon, swing boys, yeah!

Found me bout a half days ride from the border of Mexico
Put a bullet twixt my blades and my neck in a rope

Through the heat of the desert sun underneath a blackbirds wing
I keeping one step ahead of the gun
Or Ill be stretching my neck in a noose
Doing the hangman swing

Yeah, the hangman swing (hangman swing)
Its hangman swing, swing, swing
Hangman swing (hangman swing)
Yeah, the hangman swing (hangman swing)
Its the hangman swing (hangman swing)
Yeah, the hangman swing (hangman swing)
Well the hangman swing (hangman swing)


12. Blue Movie

Oh yeah!

Give me emotion, not masquerade
Give me your passion baby, in a jealous rage
Oh!

Give me aggression like a rattlesnake
Give me possession baby, of everything I take

In the asphalt jungle below the neon sky
Around the corner from Easy Street makin' love in the cold moonlight, yeah-yeah!

Blue movie, Hollywood lady, you're the best thing I've ever had
C'mon, give it to me baby, please it's right to understand
Blue movie, Hollywood lady

Give me your action, a midnight matinee
Give me suspension baby, well in this bed I lay

In the asphalt jungle below the neon sky
Around the corner from Easy Street makin' love in the cold moonlight, yeah-yeah!

Blue movie, Hollywood lady, you're the best thing I've ever had
C'mon, give it to me baby, please try to understand, no, no, no, no!
Blue movie, Hollywood lady, lay your body close to mine
C'mon, give it to me baby, make the sweat run down my spine
Blue movie, Hollywood lady

Blue movie, Hollywood lady, you're the best thing I've ever had
C'mon, give it to me baby, please try to understand, no, no, no, no!
Blue movie, Hollywood lady, lay your body close to mine
C'mon, give it to me baby, make the sweat run down my spine
Blue movie, Hollywood lady
That's right


13. Do It All Over Again

Oh yeah-yeah!

I'm no social grace, I'm no millionaire
I don't wear a tie, I don't comb my hair
If I sing out loud to myself, give me the stage

I've got a few things I can call my own
My TV's broke, I ain't got no phone
I'm doin' just fine and I thank you just the same

Don't mind the shape I'm in
I don't mind if you let me in
'Cause if I had the chance
I'd do it all over again

I don't have all the class in the world
And I don't go by Duke' or Earl'
But I'm satisfied, so let's just call it a day

I get by on caffeine and alcohol
Some days I walk and there's some I crawl
A few bad moves, it's just a part of the game, yeah it is

Don't mind the shape I'm in
I don't mind if you let me in
'Cause if I had the chance
I'd do it all over again

No, no, no, no, don't ask me where I've been
I'll just answer with a laugh and grin
'Cause if I had the chance
I'd do it all over again
