I'll take a nicotine, caffeine, sugar fix
Jesus, don't ya git tired of turnin' tricks
But when your innocence dies
You'll find the blues
Seems all our heroes were born to lose
Just walkin' through time
You believe this heat
Another empty house, another dead and street
Gonna rest my bones an sit for a spell
This side of heaven, this close to hell
Right next door to hell
Why don't write a letter to me?
I said I'm right next door to hell
And so many eyes are on me
Right next door to hell
I go nowhere else to be
Right next door to hell
Fells like the walls are closing on me
My mama never really said much to me
She was much too young and scared to be
Hell, "Freud" might say that's what I need
But all I really ever get is greed
And most my friends they fell the same
Hell, we don't even have ourselves to blame
But times are hard and thrills are cheaper
As your arms get shorter
Your pockets get deeper
Right next door to hell
Why don't you write a letter to me?
I said I'm right next door to hell
And so many eyes are on me
Right next door to hell
I never thought this is where I'd be
But I'm right next door to hell
Thinkin' time'll stand still for me
( )2x ( )
Fuck you!
Not bad kids just stupid ones
Yeah, thought we'd own the world
And gettin' used was havin' fun
I said we're not sad kids just ones, yeah
Flowin' through life not collectin' anyone
So much out there
Still so much to see
Time's too much to handle
Time's too much for me
It drives me up the walls
Drives me out of my mind
Can you tell me what this means, huh?
He lost his mind today
He left it out back on the highway
On "65"
She loved him yesterday
Yesterday's over, I said OK
That's all right!
Time moves on, that's the way
We live on hope to see the next day
That's all right!
Sometimes these things they are so easy
Sometimes these things they are so cold
Sometimes these things just seem to rip you right in two
Oh, no, man, don't let'em get to you
She loved him yesterday
He laid her sister, she said OK
And that's all right!
Buried her things today
Way back out deep behind the driveway
And that's all right!
Sometimes these things they are so easy
Sometimes these things they are so cold
Sometimes these things just seem to rip you right in two
Only if you let'em get to you
Ya get out your ow
And you take all that you own
And you forget about your home
( )4x
And then you're just fuckin' gone
There's no logic here today
Do as you got to, go your own way
I said that's right!
Time's short your life's your own
And in the end we are just
Dust n'bones, dust n'bones, dust n'bones
That's all right(Dust n'bones)
That's all right(Dust n'bones)
That's all right(Dust n'bones)
That's all right(Dust n'bones)
That's all right(Dust n'bones)
That's all right
Dust n'bones, yeah!
When you were young
And your heart was an open book
You used to say live and let live
You know you did, you know you did, you know you did
But if this ever changin' world in which we live in
Makes you give in and cry
Say live and let die
Live and let die
What does it matter to ya
When ya got a job to do ya got to do it well
You got to give the other fella hell
You used to say live and let live
You know you did, you know you did, you know you did
But if this ever changin' world in which we live in
Makes you give in and cry
Say live and let die
Live and let die.
Talk to me softly
There's something in your eyes
Don't hang your head in sorrow
And please don't cry
I know how you feel inside I've
I've been there before
Something's changin' inside you
And don't you know
Don't you cry tonight
I still love you, baby
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you, baby
And don't you cry tonight
Give me a whisper
And give me a sigh
Give me a kiss before you
Tell me goodbye
Don't you take it so hard now
And please don't take it so bad
I'll still be thinkin' of you
And the times we had, baby
And don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you, baby
And don't you cry tonight E F G Am
And please remember
That I never lied
And please remember
How I felt inside now, honey
You gotta make it your own way
But you'll be alright now, sugar
You'll feel better tomorrow
Come the morning light now, baby
And don't you cry tonight
And don't you cry tonight
And don't you cry tonight
There's a heaven above you, baby
And don't you cry
Don't you ever cry
Don't you cry tonight
Baby, maybe, someday
Don't you cry
Don't you ever cry
Don't you cry
Tonight.
3x
Kickin' back in the shadows
No need for the light
Who's sorry now old timer
Look at how you've spent your life
Scroungin' for change
To put some money in your pocket
My how scratch does burn
Laughin' at ths suckers as you pissed it away
But I got the time and I got the muscle
I got the need to lay it all on the line
I ain't afraid of your smoke screen hustle
It's a perfect crime
God damn it, it's a perfect crime
Motherfucker, it's a perfect crime
I said it's perfect
Keep the demons down
And drag the skeletons out
I got a blind man following me in chains
I said he's fun to watch
When the world has stopped
And I think he's got something to say
"You wanna fuck with me, don't fuck with me
'Cause I'm what you'll be so don't fuck with me
If you had better sense
You'd just step aside from the bad side of me
Don't fuck wit'da bad side o'me
Stay away from the bad side o'me
Don't fuck wit'da bad side
(T minus 1:09 and couting)
Ostracized but that's all right
I was thinkin' about somethin' myself
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8
Call on everybody who's got last rites
Said it's better if you locked'em away
Running through the visions
At the speed of light
Won't ya let me be
Motherfucker, just let me be
God damn it, better let me be
( )4x
Don't ya know ya better let me
Perfect crime
God damn it, it's a perfect crime
Motherfucker, it's a perfect crime
Don't ya know, it's a perfect crime
I tried so hard, just to get through to you
But your head's so far
From the realness of truth
Was it just a come on in the dark
Wasn't meant to last long
I think you've worn your welcome, honey
I'll just see you along as I sing you this song
Time can pass slowly, things always change
Your day's been numbered
And I've read your last page
You was just a temporary lover
Honey, you ain't the first
Lots of others came before you, woman
Said but you been the worst
Sa'you been the worst
So goodbye to you, girl
So long, farewell
I can't hear you crying
Your jivin's been hell
So look for me walkin'
Down your street at night
I'll be in with another
Deep down inside
( )6x
Deep down inside
I can't stop thinkin'
Thinkin' 'bout sinkin'
Sinkin' down into my bed
I call my mother
She's just a cunt now
She said I'm a sick in the head
She said: "You ain't special
So who you foolin'?
Don't try to give me a line"
But I can't stop thinkin' 'bout
Seein' ya one more time, oh no
But I already left you
And you're better off left behind
It's a bad obsessiom
It's always messin'
It's always messin' my mind
It's a bad obsession
It's always messin'
It's always messin' my mind
Too bad, you're fucked up
I used to be wasted
Always tried to take it
Take it down into my vein
I call the doctor
He's just another
He said I'm sick in the brain
He said: "You ain't special
So who you foolin'?
Don't try to give me a line"
But I can't stop thinkin' 'bout
Doin' it one more time, oh no
But I already left you
And you're better off left behind, oh yeah
It's a bad obsession
It's always messin'
It's always messin' my mind
It's a bad obsession
It's always messin'
It's always messin' my mind
So bad
It's a... It's a... Heads up
It's a bad obsession
It's always messin'
It's always messin' my mind
It's a bad obsession
It's always messin'
It's always messin' my mind
But I can't stop thinkin' 'bout
Doin' it one more time, oh no
See I already left you
And you're better off left behind, oh no, oh no
It's a bad obsession
And you're always messin' my mind
See I already left you
And you're better off left behind, oh no
Maybe you'll do better next time...
Punk!
( )2x
Oh, baby! Pretty baby!
Oh, honey, you let me down, honey
I ain't playin' childhood games no more
I said it's time for me to even the score
So stake your claim, your claim to fame
But, baby, call another name
When you fell the fire
( )3x ( /C)3x [D]
And taste the flame
Back off, back off, bitch
Down in the gutter dyin' in the ditch
You better back off, back off, bitch
Face of an angel with the love of a witch
Back off, back off, bitch
Back off, back off, bitch
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh...
Makin' love
Cheap heartbreaker, broken backed
Nasty ballbreaker, stay out of my mind
Outta to my head
If it's lovin' you
( )2x ( /C)3x [D]
I'm better off dead
Back off, back off, bitch
Down in the gutter dyin' in the ditch
You better back off, back off, bitch
Face of an angel with the love of a witch
Back off, back off, bitch
Back off, back off, bitch
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh... ( )2x
Emotions ripped, gone on a binge
Life lipped, I said you're off the hinge
Tellin' lies of such fame and glory
( )2x ( /C)3x [D]
I don't even wanna hear your story
Back off, back off, bitch
Down in the gutter dyin' in the ditch
You better back off, back off, bitch
Face of an angel with the love of a witch
Back off, back off, bitch
It's a such a pity that you're such a bitch
Back off, back off, bitch
It's time to burn, burn the witch
Back off, back off, bitch
Back off, back off, bitch
Back off, back off, bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch
Hey, what you think he's trying to say there anyway?
I think it's something each person's
Supposed to take in their own special way
Fuckin' bitch!
Found a head and an arm in the garbage can
Don't know why I'm here
Livin' on the run for, oh, so long
I gotta go collect
Double talkin' jive
Get the money, motherfucker
'Cause I got, no more patience
Double talkin' - I got (lies) -
No more patience, man
Back in town and all new friends
They sayin' how ya been?
Fucked up and out to place
That's how I felt back then
Double talkin' jive
Get the money, motherfucker
'Cause I got no more patience
Double talkin' - I got (lies) -
No more patience, man
( )15x
You dig what I'm sayin'?
When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darling when I hold you
Don't you know I feel the same, yeah
'Cause nothin' last forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold november rain
We've been through this such a long, long time
Just tryin' to kill the pain, oh yeah
But lovers always come and lovers always go
And no one's really sure who's lettin' go today
Walkin' away
If we could take the time to lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowin' that you were mine
All mine
So if you want to love me
Then darlin' don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walkin'
In the cold november rain
Do you need sometime on your own?
Do you need sometime all alone?
Everybody needs sometime on their own
Don't you know you need sometime all alone
I know it's hard to keep and open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
( )2x ( )2x
Wouldn't time be out to charm you
Sometimes I need sometime on my own
Sometimes I need sometime all alone
Everybody needs sometime on their own
( )2x
Don't you know you need sometime all alone
And when your fears subside
And shadows still remains, oh yeah
I know that you can love me
When there's no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
(G/ )2x ( )2x
Even cold november rain ( )2x
Don't ya think that you need somebody
Don't ya think that you need somebody
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one
Don't ya think that you need somebody
Don't ya think that you need somebody
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one
Don't ya think that you need somebody
Don't ya think that you need somebody
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one
Don't ya think that you need somebody
Don't ya think that you need somebody
( / )2x
You know you're all alone
Your friends the aren't at home
Everybody's gone to the garden
As you look into the trees
You can look but you don't see
The flowers seem to tease you at the garden
Everybody's there, but you don't seem to care
/ ( + )2x
What's it with you, man, and this garden
Turned into my worst phobia
A crazy man's utopia
If you're lost no one can show'ya
But it sure was glad to know'ya
Only poor boys take a chance
On the garden's song and dance
Feel her flowers as they wrap around
( + )2x ( )6x
But only smart boys do without /
You can find it all inside
No need to wrestle with your pride
No, you ain't losin' your mind
You're just in the garden
They can lead you to yourself
Or you can throw it on te shelf
But you know you can look inside
For the garden
I wasn't really scared
Lost my virginity there
To a gypsy with blond hair
But now no one seems to care
Like a mouse inside a maze
Wandering round 4 daze
With a smile upon my face
I never wanna leave this place
Only poor boys take a chance
On this garden song and dance
Feel her flowers as they wrap around
But only smart boys do without
Turned into my worst phobia
It's a crazy man's utopia
If you're lost no one can show'ya
But it sure was glad to know'ya
Bye, bye, so long, bye, bye
It's glad to know'ya
Bye, bye
Bye, bye
Aw, so long...
It's a critical solution
And the east coast got the blues
It's a mass of confusion
Like the lies they sell to you
You got a glass jawed toothache
Of a mental disease
And they be runnin' round back
See'em line up on their kness
'Cause the kiss ass sycophants
Throwin' penance at your feet
When they got nowhere to go
Watch'em come in off the streets
While they're bagin' out front
Inside they're slammin' to the crunch
Go on and throw me to the lions
And the whole damn screamin' bunch
'Cause the pissed-off, rip-offs
'R' everywhere you turn
Tell me how a generation's
Ever supposed to learn
This fire is burnin' and it's out of control
It's not a problem you can stop
It's a rock'n'roll
I read it on a wall
It went straight to my mind
It said "dance to the tension
Of a world on the edge"
We got racial violence
And who'll cast the first stone
And sex is used anyway it can be
Sometimes when I look out
It's hard to see the day
It's a feelin' you can have it
It's not mine to take away
Lost in the garden of Eden
Said we're lost in the garden of Eden
And there's no one's gonna believe this
But we're lost in the garden of Eden
This fire is burnin' and it's out of control
It's not a problem you can stop
It's rock'n'roll
Suck on that
Lookin' through this point of view
There's no way I'm gonna fit in
Don't ya tell me what my eyes see
Don't ya tell me who to believe in
I ain't superstitious
But I know when something's wrong
I've been draggin' my heels
With a bitch called hope
Let the undercurrent drag me along
Lost in the garden of Eden
Said we're lost in the garden of Eden
And there's no one's gonna believe this
But we're lost in the garden of Eden
Most organized religions make
A mockery of humanity
Our governments are dangerous
And out of control
The garden of Eden is just another graveyard
said if they had someone to buy it
Said I'm sure they'd sell my soul
The fire is burnin' and it's out fo control
It's not a problem you can stop
It's rock'n'roll
Lost in the garden of Eden
(And we ain't takin' about no poison apple
Or some missin' rib' ya hear)
Said we're lost in the garden of Eden
Said there's no one's gonna believe this
Said we're lost in the garden of Eden
This fire is burnin' and it's out of control
It's not a problem you can stop
It's rock'n'roll
( )2x
Don't damn me
When I speak a piece of my mind
'Cause silence isn't golden
When I'm holding it inside
'Cause I've been where I have been
And I've seen what I have seen
I put the pen to the paper
'Cause it's all a part of me
Be it a song or a casual conversation
To hold my tongue speaks
Of quiet reservations
Your words once heard
They can place you in a faction
My words may disturb
( )2x
But at least there's reaction
Sometimes I wanna kill
Sometimes I wanna die
Sometimes I wanna destroy
Sometimes I wanna cry
Sometimes I could get even
Sometimes I could give up
Sometimes I could give
Sometimes I never give a fuck
It's only for a while
I hope you undersdtand
I never wanted this to happen
Didn't want to be a man
So I hid inside my world
I took what I could find
I cried when I was lonely
I feel down when I was blind
But don't damn me when I speak
A piece of my mind
'Cause silence isn't golden
When I'm holding it inside
'Cause I've been where I have been
And I've seen what I have seen
I put the pen to the paper
'Cause it's all a part of me
How can I ever satisfy you
And how can I ever make you see
That deep inside we're all somebody
And it don't matter who you wanna be
But now I gotta smile I hope you comprehend
For this man can stay it happened
'Cause this child has been condemned
So I stepped into your world
I kicked you in the mind
And I'm the only witness
To the nature of my crime
But look at what we've done
To the innocent and young
Whoa listen to who's talkin'
'Cause we're not the only ones
The trash collected by the eyes
And dumped into the brain
Said it tears into our consciuos thoughts
You tell me who's to blame
I know you don't wanna hear me cryin'
And I know you don't wanna hear me deny
That your satisfaction lies in your illusions
But your delusions are yours and not mine
We take for granted we know the whole story
We judge a book by it's cover
And read what we want
( )2x
Between selected lines
Don't hail me
And don't idolize the ink
Or I've failed in my attentions
Can you find the missin' link
Your only validation is in living your own life
Vicarious existence is a fucking waste of time
So I send this song to the offended
I said what I meant and I've never pretended
As so many others do intending just to please
If I damned your point of view
( )2x ( )3x
Could you turn the other cheek
Don't damn me
When I speak a piece of my mind
'Cause silence it's not golden
When I'm holding it inside
I've been where I have been
And I've seen what I have seen
Put the pen to the paper
'Cause it's all a part of me
Don't damn me
I said don't damn me
I said don't hail me
Don't damn me
All right that's stopped!

Diamonds and fast cars
Money to burn
I got my head in the clouds
I got these thoughts to churn
Got my feet in the sand
I got a house on the hill
I got a headache like a mother
Twice the price of my thrills
And it's a cold day it's a continental drift
I said this traffic is hell
Can you give me a lift
And I'll try to paint a story
Got your pictures to tell
Yeah, you got to make a living
With what you bring yourself to sell
I got some genuine
Imitation
Bad apples
Free sample
For your peace of mind
Only $9,95
I got my camera back from customs
Got my law fees up to date
Hell they must seen me comin'
Ain't this life so fuckin' great
When the shit hit the fan
It was all I could stand
Yeah, well I'm a frequent flyer
My body's breathing while it can
But what I don't understand is that
My world ain't getting no brighter
If i could touch the sky
Well I would float on by
While everybody's talkin'
Hell I'm just another guy
If it were up to me
I'd say just leave me be
Why let one bad apple
Spoil the whole damn bunch
Gold and caviar
Now whyn't you pour my apathy
I'd have all my bases covered
If I could teach my hands to see
But now we're down in the deep end
Where they'd love to watch you drown
I said your laundry could use washing
Will hang it up all over town
I said Hollywood's like a dryer
And we're down on Sunset Strip
And you'll be suckin' down the clorox
'Til your life's all nice and crisp
When the shit hit the fan
It was all I could stand
Yeah, well I'm a frequent flyer
My body's breathing while it can
But what I don't understand is that
My world ain't getting no brighter
If i could touch the sky
Well I would float on by
While everybody's talkin'
Hell I'm just another guy
If it were up to me
I'd say just leave me be
Why let one bad apple
Spoil the whole damn bunch
When the shit hit the fan
It was all I could stand
Yeah, well I'm a frequent flyer
My body's breathing while it can
But what I don't understand is that
My world ain't getting no brighter
If i could touch the sky
Well I would float on by
While everybody's talkin'
Hell I'm just another guy
If it were up to me
I'd say just leave me be
Why let one bad apple
Spoil the whole damn bunch

Boy!!!
Sick this life
Now that you'd care
I'm not the only one with
Whom these feelings I share
Nobody understands, quite why we're here
We're searchin' for answers
That never appear
But maybe if looked real hard I'd
I'd see you're tryin' too
To understand his life
That we're all going through
(Then when she said she was gonna like
Wreck my car... I didn't know what to do)
Sometimes I feel like I'm beating a dead horse
And I don't know why you'd be bringin' me down
I'd like to think that our love's
Worth a tad more
It may sound funny but you'd think by now
I'd be smilin'
I guess somethings never change
Never change
I met an old cowboy
I saw the look in his eyes
Something tells me he's been here before
'Cause experience makes you wise
I was only a small child
When the thought first came to me
That I'm a son of a gun and the gun of a son
That brought back the devil in me
But sometimes I feel like I'm beating a dead horse
And I don't know why you'd be bringin' me down
I'd like to think that our love's
Worth a tad more
It may sound funny but you'd think by now
I'd be smiling
I guess somethings never change
Never change
I ain't quite what you'd call and old soul
Still wet behind the ears
I been around this track a couple o'times
But now the dust is starting to clear
( )3x
Oh, yeah!
Sometimes I feel like I'm beatin' a dead horse
And I don't know why you'd be bringin' me down
I'd like to think that our love's
Worth a tad more
It may sound funny but you'd think by now
I'd be smiling
Oh, yeah, I'd be smiling
No way, I'd be smiling
Oh, smiling
Hey, you caught me in a coma
And I don't think I wanna
Ever come back to this world again
Kinda like it in a coma
'Cause no one's ever gonna
Oh, make me come back to this world again
Now I feel as if I'm floating away
I can't feel all the pressure
And I like it this way
But my body's calling
My body's calling
Won't ya come back to this world again
Suspended deep in a sea of back
I've got the light and the end
I've got the bones on the most
Well, I've gone sailin', I've gone sailin'
I could leave so easily
While friends are calling back to me
I said they're
They're leaving it all up to me
When all I needed was clarity
And someone to tell me
What the fuck is going on
God damn it! (Zap the son of a bitch again)
Slippin' farther and farther away
It's a miracle how long we can stay
In a world our minds created
In a world that's full of shit
Help me... Help me... Help me... Help me...
Please understand me
I'm climbin' through the wreck age
Of all my twisted dreams
But this cheap investigation just can't
Stifle all my screams
And I'm waitin' at the crossroads
Waiting for you
Waiting for you
Where are you?
/11 [A7]/11/13
No one's gonna bother me anymore
No one's gonna mess with my head no more
/11 [A7]/11/13
I can't understand what all the fightin' for
But it's so nice here down off the store
/11
I wish you could see this
'Cause there's nothing to see
/11/13
It's a peaceful here and it's fine with me
/11
Not like the world where I used to live
/11/13 /11 [A7]/11/13 [A] Aadd#11 [A] [Am7] [A]
I never really wanted to live
(Zap him again)
(Zap the son of a bitch again)
Ya live your life it's a coma
So won't you tell me why we'd wanna
With all the reasons you give it's
It's kinda hard to believe
But who I am to teel you that I've seen
Any reason why you should stay
Maybe we'd better off without you anyway
You got a one way ticket
On your last chance ride
Gotta one way ticket
To your suicide
Gotta one way ticket
And there's no way out alive
And all this crass communication
That has left you in the cold
Isn't much for consolation
When you feel so weak and old
But if home is where the heart is
Then there's stories to be told
No, you don't need a doctor
No one else can heal your soul
Got your mind in submission
Got your life on the line
But nobody pulled the trigger
They just stepped aside
They be down by the water
While you watch'em waving goodbye
They be callin' in the morning
They be hangin' on the phone
They be waiting for the answer
But you know nobody's home
And when the bell's stopped ringing
It was nobody's fault but your own
There were always ample warnings
There were always subtle signs
And you would have seen it comin'
But we gave you too much time
And when you said that no one's listening
Why'd your best friend drop a dime
Sometimes we get so tired of waiting
For a way to spend our time
And it's so easy to be social
It's so easy to be cool
Yeah, it's so easy to be hungry
When you ain't got shit to lose
And I wish that I could help you
With what you hope to find
But I'm still out here waiting
Watching reruns of my life
When you reach the point of breaking
Know it's gonna take sometime
To heal the broken memories
That another man would need
Just to survive
