No Coin 03:07
Ice cubes cold on my back As I’m waking up she’s running away Through the streets of a dead end town With Fall leaves kicking up all around her feet Rising up with a shot of pain A scar says “This is where our future bled out” Paint flaking on the window pane Considering the end it could bring to all of this No coin for cheap thrills mother No chance to pick your poison Nobody’s bed to borrow Now who’s the broken woman? Take your prize, take your prize How it glistens in the light of the moon The night breeze swirling Glowing red growing brighter, and brighter, and brighter Is this really happening? It can’t be though it feels so real And nothing to wake you from this nightmare Turn around, flashing lights are the culprit Sirens calling your name No coin for cheap thrills mother No chance to pick your poison Nobody’s bed to borrow Now who’s the broken woman?

Midnight in a dead man’s portrait Wrapped up in an earthbound casket Faith lost in a lifeless trinket Dead and gone is the life left sinking When you dream does it seem like you’re looking up from underground, underground? Is the image in your head of a bed with dirt all around, dirt all around? What’s left when the world is colorblind? Nothing more than a gem in black and white Stripped of brilliance in a storm of coffee grounds Beauty wasted in a world that’s Hades-bound When you die, will you cry or be lifted to higher ground, higher ground? You decide every time you decide to keep me around

Float floating in and out of sight Nothing to hold them upright I can see the panic in their eyes I can see the waves rising high It always looks the same, like television I shut it off and pray for steady hands Did someone call a search party, party? Somebody call a search party, party? Hey, don’t want to do this again, Plane in the water, plane in the water Hey, they’re sinking under again Plane in the water, plane in the water We’re fighting hard and there’s no end No bottom to this ocean Just a heartbeat pulsing on this line Another heartbeat tied up to my line It always feels the same, like dying dying I shut my mouth and say, this is where I belong Did someone call a search party, party? Somebody call a search party, party? Floating to another day Another time, I hear them say “We’re five paces from peace, five paces from peace” Did someone call a search party

I’ve lost all inhibition My crazy has come to fruition To Hell with prohibition I’m on a fucked up fruitless mission I’ve gone streaking now I’m in jail My bad luck, it never fails I’ve got the cops on my tail Would you please post my bail? This is it, no turning back Got a monkey on my back He’s got a hair across his ass I’m at the bottom of my class
5.
Watching you, in a frame I knew you then, but not the same That smiling boy, is dead and gone You let him die, and carried on He used to give, and never fake You taught him lies, and how to take It makes me sad, to think of that Memories flow, looking at Idiots in photos, I used to know I was glad to see them go Those were good times, but now all I see Are these idiots in photos I remember you listening Letting me win every game Had my back when trouble came Nowadays things ain’t the same We used to be blood brothers Now we’re too busy for each other You stand smiling next to me Now I realize I’m just as guilty

Boogeyman 02:40
Evil eyes are glowing red Noises underneath your bed Is it real, that noise you hear? Soon you’ll have to face your fear, go! Here he comes again Here he comes again, goddamn Boogeyman Wicked whispers in the hall Shadow creeping on the wall Fingers pull the blankets down Try to scream but make no sound, go!

To work together where do we begin? Each for himself in a world of sin With no money, no wars to win We’d rather live in a world of sin Cult of the moon god Devil on the tarot card Angel in the vanguard Chaos Crosshairs and cannibal eyes Firstborns and faithless wives Nobody’s getting out tonight Nobody’s getting out alive
8.
Time races, like wildfire As I ride through the muck and mire Something is close to me Something I cannot see He hears the songs I sing From out of sight he watches me Killer in the backseat I’m driving with a killer in the backseat I’m driving with a don’t don’t turn around, no no no Don’t turn around, don’t turn around What makes him tick so differently? Why can’t he, behave naturally, humanly? His hands turn the radio dial In the rearview, I see his sadistic smile
9.
Zombie Town 02:37
When the world is top-heavy And the oceans bleed out When the stars spin in circles Before the earth falls inside out High rollers, high rollers Shut ‘em down, shut ‘em down Pack ‘em up and ship ‘em off To Zombie Town, Zombie Town Only one solution Only one way out Have you heard of evolution The time to stop moving backwards is now
10.
Massachusetts Avenue, that’s where I stood in front of you Bleach blonde hair and eyes so blue, nothing I could say to you That same night we ended up, on someone’s loft, beer in a cup Holding hands, kiss goodnight, memories that stay alive A night with you to remember A night with you to say goodbye Massachusetts Avenue, that’s the night our eyes were glued Party down a block or two, I couldn’t wait to talk to you Your band had played, I will confess, I thought you’d be like all the rest You’d prove to me a thing or two, a love that never felt so new There we were, a year to pass, on the road we thought would last Your band would move, and I would too, to the friend I found in you I don’t know why the love we shared, disappeared into thin air Maybe it’s those times we made, memories that never fade
11.
The sun is stuck behind the clouds The wind is sounding like a cry It’s almost four, I don’t know why I plead with you to stay inside Please don’t go out there I get this feeling someone’s out there So take your Sunday afternoon stroll I get this feeling you won’t be coming home Cause something way deep down inside Tells me that this may be your last night I watch you walk right out the door Until I don’t see you in sight I can’t explain these evil thoughts That are racing through my mind I think something’s out there I just know that someone’s out there
12.
Medicine Man 01:48
Medicine man, what’s my future? Can it be saved, can it be sutured? This part of me has always been a source of pain Now that it’s gone I can’t see myself going on without it Medicine man, what’s that knife for? So much blood on your hands And so much on the floor
13.
Fire's Tears 03:13
Days sneak on by, and nights are a waste How close that I’ve come, to leaving this place They cannot compare to what we can do Faces don’t compare Ten years a fire’s tears and nothing left to salvage here Each time we try and try and all we ever go is round and round Please God don’t let me be, the same sad case A jester who gets tied up, in the life she’d erase They cannot compare to what we can do Faces don’t compare
14.
Just Tonight 03:21
Tell me, tell me what you want to do to me And promise not to lie again Holding out but now the time is right you say You’ve got me feeling high again Everyone is dancing, that’s what music is for But the bruise you wear makes me unsure A hundred fireflies flashing in your head It would be better if we sat this one out instead Just tonight, I’ll make pretend it’s fine Just tonight, I’ll drive you home again Sleep it off, I promise this is right Tomorrow we will still be friends You look pale in the cold blue light of the dashboard And you’re insisting that tonight is the night, is the night, is the night, is the night I don’t think so, in fact I know it’s not Tell me, tell me why you cry so suddenly And why you hide behind your tears Put the window up so we can talk about it No one else needs to hear Everyone is staring, keep your voice low They don’t care who’s right they just want a show Don’t let their voices get inside your head It would be better if you sat back down instead

World of Sin 03:22
One lives on a street of gold In a mansion full of riches with a big billfold The other lives in a paradise But there’s too much peach and quite so he rolls the dice Instead of reaching common ground They fight to bring each other down, down, down, down To work together where do we begin? Each for himself in a world of sin With no money no wars to win We’d rather live in a world of sin One fights with rocks and knives, the other brings a sword and ends his life That one dies from a bullet hole, the next one builds a city around his own flagpole He gets defeated by his own best friend, who wonders when this motherfucking war will end He wonders when this motherfucking war will end It will never end, it will never end
