1. RED LIGHT JOINT

Half a black bottle of Bourbon running through my veins
A bag full of candy in my head just to ease the pain
A red bandanna on my head for the sweat in my eyes
I head to a place that’s a touch on the sleazy side

Well I roll a lucky seven, my eyes are all big and wide
Take the money and run, but that would be suicide
Pull out the stops, get a little bit of everything
Drink your shots, give it all that you got,
Don’t know what tomorrow will bring

Down at the red light joint,
They got a sign hanging out the front
It says “you got the money, you got whatever you want”

Well I cruise like celluloid star out of Hollywood
You know the drinks on the house,
And everybody’s got me feeling good
Now I’m high as a kite in the spotlight rage ‘till dawn
You know that Saturday’s cool
But I’m strung out on Monday morn

Down at the red light joint,
They got a sign hanging out the front
It says “You got the money, you got whatever you want”


2. UNDER THE OVERPASS

We made the plan of going out to have some fun
Drinking shooters now were loaded guns
(Premonition of the ground)
Catching the 366 bus heading to the beach
Moscow mules were young n’ wild in the streets
(I think I hear the ‘don’t walk sound’)

A pick-up truck is a rumbling past
A concrete bed with a pillow of broken glass,
Under the overpass
Under the overpass, I’m just sleeping
Under the overpass, that’s where I lay my head
Under the overpass, you know I’m just under the overpass

Well me and Luke were stumbling down the Avenue
Synapse road block gotta try break through
(Premonition of the ground)
I needed a pick me up, so fix me up a mirrorline
It up and things are now looking clearer
(Think I hear the ‘don’t walk sound’)

A pick-up truck is a rumbling past
A concrete bed with a pillow of broken glass,
Under the overpass
Under the overpass, I’m just sleeping
Under the overpass, that’s where I lay my head
Under the overpass, you know I’m just under the overpass

Waking up in a taxi wondering where you are
Where is Lex? He’s drinking at the bar
(But he won’t be hanging around)
Realize I have lost my wallet and my keys
No phone credit, guess I’ll sleep in the street
(Premonition’s come true now)

A pick-up truck is a rumbling past
A concrete bed with a pillow of glass
A pick-up truck goes rumbling past
Concrete bed, pillow of broken glass
I’m sleeping under the overpass


3. HEAVEN AGAIN

Remember summer in Sydney and those Harbour lights
I knew you were dancing on the dirt more than once a night
An accidental early exit I will never forget
But your sun had set, did you have regrets?
I respect you lived your life without a safety net, now

Your eyes are watching over me girl
I know everything will be alright
Your life was always meant for my world
Despite something wasn’t right

In time I’ll see you again
Love is lost united in the end, now
Well I know I’ll see you again
Love is lost, united in heaven again

I’m sorry nobody heard you and your swan song
I still wish I could have been by your side when it all went wrong
Now I can’t forget, and I won’t loose it
I respect you lived your life without a safety net, now

Your eyes are watching over me girl
I know everything will be alright
Your life was always meant for my world
Despite something wasn’t right

In time I’ll see you again
When love is lost united in the end, now
I know I’ll see you again
Love is lost, united in heaven again


4. HIGHWAY DREAM

Let me clarify just what I’m talking about
When I say we're ok
Fantasize the lies ‘till they're truth
And we're back on the highway
Because we want it, need it, working hard to get it baby
No if's, but's or maybe's
With a little bit of help outta Lynchberg Tennessee

No one can break us, and no one can fake us
And that’s gonna take us to the highway dream
No one can break us, because of our blood trust
Committing us all to chase the highway dream, oh

Well let me tell you about the tour yeah

We’re 30,000 feet, drunk in cramped seats,
About to stumble out of the plane
Trolly dolly cuts us off,
But we swear that the booze ain't to blame, oh no!
Because we want it, need it, we’re drinking harder baby,
No if's, but's or maybe's
With a little bit of help out of Lynchberg Tennessee

No one can break us, and no one can fake us
And that’s gonna take us to the highway dream
No one can break us, because of our blood trust
Committing us all to chase the highway dream

Well if you got a problem,
Take the Koritni model cause we're ok
Yeah we’re slamming shots out of a whisky bottle all day

With a little bit of help outta Lynchberg Tennessee
Drinking black label jack,
Well you know that's alright with me

No one can break us, and no one can fake us
And that’s gonna take us to the highway dream
No one can break us, because of our blood trust
Committing us all to chase the highway dream


5. NEVER SAY GOODBYE

I told you to do what you want
Wasting your own time, taking a hard line
You will not turn me around
I got my reasons that you don't believe in

There's not a way to change me
So why don't we just agree to disagree?
I say loving is a gone, never ever say goodbye
You say whatever you want, never ever say goodbye to me

Never say goodbye, well I say it again
Never ever say goodbye, well I say it again

All we had was the touch
Well I'm not complaining, that's not what I'm saying
We both know it isn't enough
So let's take the pleasure, the last time together

There is no way to change this
So why don't we just agree to disagree?
You said loving is a gone, never ever say goodbye
I said whatever you want, never ever say goodbye to me

You've been slipping and sliding away
It's been fun but I can't sustain
Before the night is over I'd like to say
I know I can baby, but tell me can you take the pain?

There is no way to change me
So why don't we just agree to disagree?
I said loving is a gone, never ever say goodbye
You say whatever you want, never ever say goodbye to me


6. SICK AGAIN

Jimmy left home ‘bout 17
Pretty cute kid, with low self-esteem
And he just couldn’t take it no more
He tried making his own life
Didn’t work it out cause he hit all the ice
Now he’s a crystal meth whore
Downhill slide into lifestyle suicide

I know I’ve been here before
Been clean for 2 years now I’m knocking on death’s door
I’ve tried my best to pretend
But I got that sick feeling again

Well I don’t know why
And god can’t tell me why
Why I started, well I got that sick feeling again …

Pete said as he took a hit
“Man I gotta habit I just can’t quit
And my source is breaking down my door.
I tried methadone and all that funk
But nothing gives a high like high speed junk”
He’s just a smack freak trashed whore
Downhill slide into lifestyle suicide

I know I’ve been here before
Been clean for 2 years now I’m knocking on death’s door
I’ve tried my best to pretend
But I got that sick feeling again

Jade was real pretty and she came
From the right wing side of the tracks
Channel shades and Gucci boots with designer lopez slacks
Heard the psiren song of the cold glass pipe
It said quench your thirst by sucking ice
But she can’t understand why she’s quarter to dead …
Oh she said …


7. NOT YOUR MAN

I get home late, you jump outta bed
Then remind me of the things I never said
You scream and shout ‘till the crack of dawn
Break my back, think I’d rather be ignored

You’re up all night just making plans
You’re writing the lines on your hands
Making change kinda strange
You’ve got no understanding
You don’t like me for who I am
I can’t change cause I’m not your man

You tell me that I ain’t no good
You don’t care if I’m just misunderstood
Inside my heart is a different world
You can’t find the key to it little girl

You’re up all night just making plans
You’re writing the lines on your hands
Make a change kinda strange
You’ve got no understanding
You don’t like me for who I am
I can’t change cause I’m not your man

I don’t know what I’m waiting for
Hey I should be outta that door
No baby please I’m on my knees
Just grab my TV, my DVDs and all my CDs

You live your life on a razor blade
In your mind you think you got it made

You’re up all night just making plans
You’re writing the lines on your hands
Making change kinda strange
You’ve got no understanding
You don’t like me for who I am
You don’t like me for who I am
You do not like me for who I am
I can’t change cause I’m not your man


8. I SEE THE LIGHT

I’d like to share some blame with you
Anticipation of what you’re gonna do
Selling lies you know can satisfy
Pull the trigger and watch the stars collide

An undercover lover yes I am
From a hulk of the damned
For secret satisfaction I’m your man
You’ll feel things for which I cannot plan

You’ll see the light at the end of the tunnel again
But don’t be fooled, it might be the sound of a diesel train

Bet you wished you knew how to play
Well for years I tell you the rules haven’t changed
Attitude, confidence and brains
Get the moves and then you won’t see light again

An undercover lover yes I am
From a hulk of heart-broken damned
For secret satisfaction I’m your man
I feel things for which I could not plan

Well I see the light at the end of the tunnel again
But don’t be fooled, it might be the sound of a diesel train

Down the line
We’re on time
You’re on my mind

Well I see the light at the end of the tunnel again
But don’t be fooled, it’s just the front of a diesel train


9. STARVING FAST

You’re a hustler and you know it’s true
As you’re telling me telling me telling me
That I’m special to you
You’re trying to sell the whole crowd a lie
As you sing the blues you borrowed while pretending to cry

You know that you’ve dug your own grave
Now lay in what you have made … Hey

I’ve seen through all your tricks before
You’re keeping on trying to tell me
That you’re giving it all
Your moral sign says I’ll be safe in my lane
But you’re dishing out the pain
While you’re hiding all your riches again

Well my mind ain’t a free bordello
Pour my wine into your broken glass
Every time I bleed you swallow
Now I’m starving fast

You tell me rules I should live by
You put your dissonant take of life inside theology lies
You’ll have to find a bigger sucker than I
Cause I’ve seen your crocodile tears and dramatic crying

Well you’re stuck in a hole
What miracle will unfold?

You’re knock knock knocking on my door
With creative telling and selling
Of stories I’ve heard before
It don’t make sense what other people believe
All the see is forest, when it’s just fire wood to me

Well my mind ain’t a free bordello
Pour my wine into your broken glass
Every time I bleed you swallow
Now I’m starving fast

Well my mind ain’t a free bordello
Put my dime into your broken glass
Every time I bleed you swallow
On a starving fast


10. LADY LUCK

Are you sincere I should leave you here?
With the queen of the Nile all night
How about I deal you something girl?
That will keep you satisfied

The King of Fools with the Queen of Clubs
Ace and Black Jack’s almost enough
Score a 10 for a royal flush
You know you’ll feel endorphin’s rush

You’re holding all the cards for sure
As I raise your bet once more
Lady Luck didn’t break my fall
Oh no!

You know you’re being played by the game
You remain dazzled and mesmerized
Your friends have changed, you’re still the same
The house wins every night

You’re holding all the cards for sure
As I raise your bet once more
Lady Luck didn’t break my fall
Oh no!

Well so don’t tell me that you won’t gamble tonight …It’s alright
Your addiction’s leaving you itching for some more of that poker action

Flip’em over so you’re on display
Ambivalent confidence with regret
If you win this you’ve got it made
You walk away with debt

You’re holding all the cards for sure
As I raise your bet once more
Lady Luck didn’t break my fall
Never hearing the last drinks call


11. GOT TO GET YOU INTO MY LIFE

I was alone, I took a ride,
I didn't know what I would find there
Another road where maybe
I could see another kind of mind there

Ooh, then I suddenly see you,
Ooh, did I tell you I need you
Every single day of my life

You didn't run, you didn't lie
You knew I wanted just to hold you
Had you gone, you knew in time, we'd meet again
For I had told you

Ooh, you were meant to be near me
Ooh, and I want you hear me
Say we'll be together every day

Got to get you into my life

What can I do, what can I be,
When I'm with you I want to stay there
If I'm true I'll never leave
And if I do I know the way there

Ooh, then I suddenly see you,
Ooh, did I tell you I need you
Every single day of my life

Got to get you into my life
Got to get you into my life

I was alone, I took a ride,
I didn't know what I would find there
Another road where maybe
I could see another kind of mind there

Then suddenly I see you,
Did I tell you I need you
Every single day...


12. AIN'T NO LOVE SONG

You’re drunk again,
Your blood is just as thick as what you’re drinking
Your clarity of reality it comes from television
A pedestool exists in your mind
Because you’ve traveled miles
Now I’m on trial screaming why why let me tell you

You wanna send me to hell well honey be my guest
So that when your time has come I’ll leave ajar the gates

The minute I’m gone, I knew that I was wrong
I’m telling you baby that you ain’t no love song
The minute I’m gone, I knew that I was wrong
I’m telling you baby that this ain’t a love song

The blame is such an irony because you used to tell me
Respect yourself, defend your right to life avoid a tragedy
You paint a scene with shades
Of black regret and disappointment
I try to forget but lament, then try to damn well hide it

You wanna send me to hell well honey be my guest
So that when your time has come I’ll leave ajar the gates

The minute I’m gone, I knew that I was wrong
I’m telling you baby that this ain’t no love song
The minute I’m gone, I knew that I was wrong
I’m telling you baby that you ain’t no love song

Over and over, I try to hide again
You try to be sober, it happens now and then
Over and over, tell me why don’t it end
To be my lover first you must be my friend
