1. WHERE THERE'S A WHIP THERE'S A WAY

Nobody know how to tie the simple knots that I know
Getting weak in the knees and your bruises are beginning to show
The only way she knows how to take it is blow by blow
Strapped to the rack with a slap on the ass should make her eyes glow

I ain't no boy of bondage, you can use it, you can use it
I'm a loose lip talking jockey with a whip and track to prove it
I'm the dehumanizing master
You better start your talking cause I get what I go after

Where, where there's a whip there's a way
I'm gonna tighten up the slack in your chains
Where, where there's a whip there's a way
The devil in she likes the sweet beating dreams everyday
Where, where there's a whip there's a way
I'm gonna take you, gonna take you away

When it's time to leave, baby I'll let you know
I've got you buckled to the floorboards
Got you screamin like a pooch on a leash to let you go
She grinds her leather like Liberace rhines a stone
She rides just like a pony, gonna sign that filly up for the rodeo

I ain't no boy of bondage, you can use it, you can use it
I'm a loose lip talking jockey with a whip and track to prove it
I'm the dehumanizing master
You better start your talking cause I get what I go after

Where, where there's a whip there's a way
I'm gonna tighten up the slack in your chains
Where, where there's a whip there's a way
The devil in she likes the sweet beating dreams everyday
Where, where there's a whip there's a way
I'm gonna take you, gonna take you away

Nobody know how to tie the simple knots that I know
She grinds her leather like Liberace rhines a stone
Getting weak in the knees and your bruises are beginning to show
She rides just like a pony, gonna sign that filly up for the rodeo


2. LITTLE DOVE

I'm your door to door lover
I'm you cyclone pacifier
I'm your cheap trick honey
And baby's my bionic liar
I don't bleed cause the gasoline
That flows right though my veins
I'm a motor at heart
And if I don't start
I get pissed off just the same

Your high heeled river of love
Is drippin down your thighs
It seems like my lover's
Finally satisfied

Blow my whistle, rock me little dove
Rock my missle, blow me little dove

She's a super sexed junkie for money
Sometimes she does it for fame
She prefers cash to a hot seat on the dating game
I'd like to seize ya, I'd like to please ya
By customizing your frame
With the oil of love
That some keep in a glove
But I just let it spray


3. POISON IVY

Baby, baby why won't you let me be
You're a major pain in the ass
And I don't need the hassle can't ya see
Please I need some peace of mind
That I was hoping I would find
But you just kept a buggin
'Til I was crawlin under the rug and baby
Stressin, jump back baby back away

Get off my back you monkey
You got my nerves jumping like a junkie today
Get it, hit it

Poison ivy you come creepin up right behind me
You make me itch, baby you're so unkind
Poison, baby you're like poison ivy
You make me itch and I'm all out of Calomine

So this is how you get your kicks
Lickin up everything after me
Baby, don't pet my dog
And certainly don't mess with my birds or my bees
Jesus, I got a Peeping Tom
And I was hoping she was gone
But she just kept a knockin
'Til I was crawling under a rock and baby
Stressin, jump back baby back away


4. HOUSE OF PAIN

It's a little past supper time
I'm still out on the front porch
Sittin on my behind, waiting for you
Wondering if everything was all right
Momma said come in boy, don't waste your time
I said I've got time, he'll be here soon
I was five years old and talkin to myself
Where were you, where'd you go
Daddy, can't you tell

I'm not tryin to fake it
And I ain't the one to blame
No there's no one home
In my house of pain
I didn't write these pages
And my script's been rearranged
No there's no one home
In my house of pain

Wasn't I worth the time
A boy needs a daddy like a dance to a mime
And all the time I looked up to you
I paced my room a million times
And all I ever got was one big line
The same old lie, how could you

Well I was eighteen and still talkin to myself
Where were you, where'd you go
Daddy, can't you tell

Well, if I learned anything from this
It's how to live on my own


5. GONNA WALK

Don't really know
How much longer I can stick around
Cause my bags are collecting dust
And my ceiling's coming down
Kissed the gutter on Bourbon Street
Louisiana give me New Orleans

It's time to change the locks, oh baby
On my back door
Well, I'm East Coast bound, I'm stuck in
Chinatown for the night

I'm gonna walk, run
Whatever it takes, I'm leaving
I'm gonna walk, run
Whatever it takes, I'm gone

Trucks loaded up and ready to go
The stagecoach is leaving town
My snakeskin boots and tough enough
For that dusty Texas ground
San Antonio get ready for me
The Houston honeys are a luxury


6. PULLING WEEDS

Maria's cryin and I don't understand
It takes two to tango
Three to make me really mad
But things ain't that bad
Call me Superdad

Suzy's had it up to here with their master plan
Of some cronies testimony
That sounds just like the Klu Klux Klan
If things get that bad
There's plenty of room in Japan

Don't need girls or little boys
They'd only have broken toys
They'd only throw them all away

There's pain down below
Pull my, pull my weeds
Don't give a funk
There's pain down below
Pullin weeds
Don't give a funk

An unwanted baby, Jonny boy
His daddy was a dirty beggar, mama's a whore
With a life like that
How can he win the war

Don't need girls or little boys
They'd only have broken toys
They'd only throw them all away

There's pain down below
Pull my, pull my weeds
Don't give a funk
There's pain down below
Pullin weeds
Don't give a funk

Maria's cryin and I don't understand
The cronies testimony
That sounds just like the Klu Klux Klan
But things ain't that bad
There's plenty of room in Japan


7. SLIP OF THE TONGUE

Painted a perfect picture
And busted my frame
With all this cheap ass talking
You need an oxygen tank
If you're gonna do it, do it right
Got to catch the flow, got to hit em low
I get high between the thighs

Damned if I do, damned if I don't
Someone's always watching me
Turn on the news and hear what I'm gonna do
Before it ever happens to me

With a slip of the tongue
I'm in deep shit
I'm so bad off I can taste it
Buried myself with a slip of the tongue

Lick to the left and take it up
Then lick to the right
My baby likes my Model-T
I'm parking it tonight
Gotta watch what I do, gotta watch what I say
There's always one fucked up damn bum
That gets in my way

With a slip of the tongue
I'm in deep shit
I'm so bad off I can taste it
Buried myself with a slip of the tongue

I got a psychopathic love
That fits like a glove
My baby bucks like a bronco
When I start to shove
Get your, get your, get you feet up to your ears
Let me slam it home and take me to Rome
And watch me disappear


8. CRYIN' SHAME

There was a haunting evil breeze
Blowing off the bay
That kasso smiled
As he took the kid's life away
The Midway was his private oasis
While the dope got just a little too strong
Relax Jimmy boy, it's only homicide
The punk will never know what's going on

Wake me when it's over and it's done
Why can't you see the poor boy bleedin
Does it make you numb

It's a cryin shame
I got blood on my hands
My life's going down the drain
It's a cryin shame
I got blood on my hands
Man, it's a cryin shame

From the Northport Gazebo
To the Aztakea Woods they strayed
They butchered the boy
And threw his body in a shallow grave
For weeks under the leaves
He just sat there dead
Without a breath of life in his bones
He left his ma and pa cryin
Wonderin, whining
Why their little boy never came home

Wake me when it's over and it's done
Why can't you see the poor boy bleedin
Does it make you numb

It's a cryin shame
I got blood on my hands
My life's going down the drain
It's a cryin shame
I got blood on my hands
Man, it's a cryin shame

Say it, no
Lord help me, Jesus Christ
It's all over now
Kiss your ass goodbye


9. TATTOO

Shame, up 'til today I was doin fine
In the mailbox was a letter from a girl I left behind
And now she's back in town to stay
Well, a long time ago she took my sanity
Came all the way from Memphis to live next door to me
Besides the pain it's driving me insane

There's no way I can make her understand
And I found out why, it's hidden behind her pants

She's got my name, she's got my name
Tattooed on the backside of her frame
And there ain't no way you'll ever put your ring on me

Diggin in my garbage for a piece of me
All she found were dirty rubbers and a beat up pair of jeans
Mentally she's not all there
What should I do or where should I go
Should I find a little cabin up in Boise, Idaho
And hibernate 'til that strange lame dame goes away


10. AIN'T NO WAY AROUND IT

My money's gone, my tank is empty
This dope-filled life has got the best of me
Wait, this can't be right
But it's all written in black and white

I've been looking for the clown
That's brought me up and dragged me down
I've hocked my life and all my things
For a beat up pair of broken wings
That won't fly

Ain't no way around it
There ain't no way around it

My crutch is gone, my baby left me
I took what I had left to Tampa Bay
Forget it, no I'll have my time
Meanwhile I'm spaced out of my mind

I've been looking for the clown
That's brought me up and dragged me down
I've hocked my life and all my things
For a beat up pair of broken wings
That won't fly

Ain't no way around it
There ain't no way around it

My crutch is gone, my baby left me
Everything that I own is in Tampa Bay
Wait, this can't be right
But it's all written in black and white


11. ARIZONA INDIAN DOLL

She's got high top moccasins
And shines like the sun
Does her rain dance for me
And I'm wet when she's done
Got to be the last
Of a long lost tribe
I got my bow and arrow
Now I'm ready to fly

Ain't no bright lights shining
Ain't no bad moon rising at all

You got me rolling through the tumbleweeds
Well, that wild child's all I need
Well I got her and she's all mine

There's nothing like
A little midnight stroll
Make a little love
Where the buffalo roam
I ain't no Geronimo
But I had a god time
I walked her to her tee pee
And I kissed her goodnight
Ain't no bright lights shining
Ain't no bad moon rising at all

You got me rolling through the tumbleweeds
Well, that wild child's all I need
Well I got her and she's all mine

Arizona Indian doll


12. PLEASE DEAR

Please, all I wanted was a change
Lisa, I never wanted you to go that far away
Then you had to go
And leave me sittin all alone
Oh baby, how I miss you so
And I'm so damn tired of thinking
She wiped the tears away
A lifetime away
And laid a goodbye on me
At night I can still hear you sayin

Hang on to me, baby
Hang on to me
It ain't easy

Please dear
Could you save a seat in nirvana for me
So we can go on forever
Please dear
Could you save a seat in nirvana for me

Lisa, everytime I turn around I see your face
Please give me a sign that says you're o.k.
Will you let me know
That you'll me at the door
And take me everywhere you go
Up in the sky when I buy my ticket
I have a hard time sleepin
You're ringing your bell
Reminds me of all the times of playin
At night I can still hear you sayin

Hang on to me, baby
Hang on to me
It ain't easy

Please dear
Could you save a seat in nirvana for me
So we can go on forever
Please dear
Could you save a seat in nirvana for me

I never wanted to say goodbye
I always wondered why
It's another sleepless night
Are you really, are you all right

You're so far away
Oh, I miss your face
