Big City Girl 03:47
lyrics
I met a girl with glitz and the bling She seemed like such a harmless little thing But when she asked me for a ride in my car I should have known better than to show her my green. Big City Girl with the sparkly dress What moves you? Who you trying to impress? Big City Girl And in the… Middle of the city in the middle of the streets She’s a man-made hooker from her head to her feet. She looks for the man with the kind of affection That a man couldn’t give without an erection. She’ll dress to impress or to brighten up a scene She’ll work really hard if you know what I mean. She’ll give it up for nothing if you make her a star, She knows a good man by the size of his car. Back story of a hooker’s little scene, Raised up by the American dream. She thought that happiness was covered in green, But sometimes things are not what they seem. Chin up, with your middle finger raised, You take a dollar and you give it praise. Big City Girl And in the… Middle of the city in the middle of the streets She’s a man-made hooker from her head to her feet. She looks for the man with the kind of affection That a man couldn’t give without an erection. She’ll dress to impress or to brighten up a scene She’ll work really hard if you know what I mean. She’ll give it up for nothing if you make her a star, She knows a good man by the size of his car. Sick girl, with dollar sign eyes, Got a coin purse ‘tween her thighs, Green almighty gonna make her blind, Got lots of love, but what’s she tryin to find? Who? What? Green Almighty. And in the… Middle of the city in the middle of the streets She’s a man-made hooker from her head to her feet. She looks for the man with the kind of affection That a man couldn’t give without an erection. She’ll dress to impress or to brighten up a scene She’ll work really hard if you know what I mean. She’ll give it up for nothing if you make her a star, She knows a good man by the size of his car.

Lay It On the Line 03:41
lyrics
Another strange addiction, This paper vice of mine, The green is so gold, Should I be so bold, To lay it on the line? Put it on the table, Put it on the line. Ms. Lady Luck standing right by my side. Tells me I’m winning every time. So I’ll take my last dollar and lay it on the line. I drink another cocktail, and tip my waitress fine. All in every time is the name of my rhyme, I shouldn’t pass the line… Put it on the table, Put it on the line. Ms. Lady Luck standing right by my side. Tells me I’m winning every time. So I’ll take my last dollar and lay it on the line. Put it on the table, Put it on the line. Ms. Lady Luck standing right by my side. Tells me I’m winning every time. So I’ll take my last dollar and lay it on the line.

Hell Of A Drug 04:51
lyrics
Another pill for your pleasure Another cure for your pain It makes you look good in leather But it sure won't keep you sane    What you do while you’re under Take another pill to bring you out The sick little pill you've been taking Is melting your brain away    Why can't I sleep at night? Why am I so uptight?    Another pill for your pleasure Another cure for your hate It makes you look good in rubber But it sure won't keep you sane    I read my daily horoscope today It said that I should lose some weight. I lost 20 lbs in 2 hours with Phen Phen. What a hell of a drug    Why can’t I sleep at night? Why am I so uptight?    You take a pill to help you sleep tight It helps you feel but you don’t feel right    Pregnant Diarrhea, nausea, dementia, and rectal bleeding are all common side effects of this product. Adverse affects in lab rats were successfully treated through the use of more drugs. All of the lab rats treated died within three weeks of cancer after being exposed to the harmful radiation emitted by this an other similar products All of the lab rats died! Lab rats died!    Pick your poison for your problem. Drink it down and you will see. Headache’s gone but you're bloated Some kind of drug deficiency       Why can’t I sleep at night. Why am I so uptight.    You take a pill to help you sleep tight It helps you feel but you don’t feel right.    Pick up the phone give ‘em a call. You know your pharmacist’s words mean nothing at all You may be sick and bloated but your stomach's coated while the medical bills bounce off the wall Go and try to take a shit but you can't even pee - you better sign up for a colostomy You'e getting ill from the pill but nevermind the cost - a customer cured is a costumer lost Why can’t I sleep at night. Why am I so uptight.    You take a pill to help you sleep tight It helps you feel but you don’t feel right.

El Baile 04:03
lyrics
This may be some coincidence Or maybe some stroke of chance. I think our paths have crossed More than a couple times. But it’s the first time I’d seen you dance. I think I’ll roll the dice again, Cuz you’re not looking for another friend. Although the stakes are set quite quite, This woman cannot pass me by, I caught a glimmer in her eye, And then I saw her dance. Is this love that I feel? Is it fake, or is it real? Is it her, that I crave? Is this how, I should behave? Is it love? Is it love? Should I take the chance? Or is it just the dance? If she takes another step in my direction I think my eyes are gonna move the same way. And there’ll be no words to say. Girl, if you ask me nice I might try For a minute or two To take you by the hand If you’d like I’ll be your man tonight. Is this love that I feel? Is it fake, or is it real? Is it her, that I crave? Is this how, I should behave? Is it love? Is it love? Should I take the chance? Or is it just the dance? Ese es tu amor? O solo un baile? Es tu danza, que me cautiva, Tu sensuales movimientos, Que llena mi al mar de amor Tu mirada exitante Hace vibrar todo mi ser Tu danza pasionada Me lleva al extacy total. Is this love that I feel? Is it fake, or is it real? Is it her, that I crave? Is this how, I should behave? Is it love? Is it love? Should I take the chance? Or is it just the dance?

Picture Worth A Thousand Words 02:43
lyrics
Now gather round kiddies Let me tell you why You never ever, ever, wanna fly To a place so far, far, far away Where they don’t even know to say hi. Well they stole from me And they’ll steal from you Cuz’ they got nothing better to do. So listen now kiddies these thousand words, Are worth more than a pic or two. Eifel, Eifel there she stands Gots me camera in me hands. Hey good sir, moment of your time, A snapshot’s worth more than the climb. A picture worth a thousand words. So long gone it makes me hurt. A picture worth a thousand words. So long gone it makes me hurt. A picture worth a thousand words. So long gone it makes me hurt. A picture worth a thousand words. So long gone it makes me hurt. All I asked, Take a pic, Kodak moment gone to shit. Fry guy didn’t give me a chance, Raced away like the Tour de France. A picture worth a thousand words. So long gone it makes me hurt. A picture worth a thousand words. So long gone it makes me hurt.

Mr. Cannonball 02:37
lyrics
Hey Mr. Cannonball Buy me some alcohol Drink me a drink Sing me a song Cuz I can’t stay here too long. Well I like it when you sing me the sad songs And I like it even more if you don’t I laughed when you fell off your barstool So let’s drink until our back teeth float. Hey Mr. Cannonball Buy me some alcohol Drink me a drink Sing me a song Cuz I can’t stay here too long. Well you introduced me to your girlfriend, Then you cheated on her with your wife. You tapped her on the head with a barstool, Then she poked you in the back with a knife. Hey Mr. Cannonball Buy me some alcohol Drink me a drink Sing me a song Cuz I can’t stay here too long. So take a little drink, take a little drink. It’s better than you think, better than you think. So take a little drink, take a little drink. It’s better than you think, better than you think. Hey Mr. Cannonball Buy me some alcohol Drink me a drink Sing me a song Cuz I can’t stay here too long.

The Headless Hitchhiker 04:38
lyrics
Damn this blazing sun I had to get out and run With nowhere else to go, I’m on this endless road    No mirages in this desert. My sanity growing lesser The cars just go by faster A life of sheer disaster    It started out at home When that bitch called my phone And left me for a friend. My love had found a dead end    I never went back to work. I never knew how much it hurt A letter of eviction A result of my addiction    My head hangs low Nowhere to go How the hell did I end up on this endless road? My thumb sticks out, reality my doubt What to do to nourish this mental draught?    And now I’ve fled so far from myself I turned away from the glory days The easy way out was a gun to my head I’m the headless hitchhiker and I’m already dead    The gun took it’s aim My life is not the same Its time to break the bank And I could never go back    The teller just could tell The greed it was my hell And when I turned and looked back The black and white was on my tracks    Nothing but scars behind these bars I had to get out and go roam with the cars I killed a man to get outta the can In the middle of the desert is where I stand    And now I fled so far from myself The glory days so far away And all that I want is a gun to my head I’m the headless hitchhiker and I’m already dead

High Life With A Low Life 03:43
lyrics
I went to Randy’s donuts to get a dozen glazed. When I saw this vagabond, all teary eyed and dazed. I reached in pocket to give the man a little change, But when he held out his hand, It was holding something strange. He said, “No brother! I don’t need your cash. You could have all the green in the world, But you ain’t had nothing ‘til you had this HASH.” Come and live the high life, with a low life. Come and live the high life, with a low life, like me. They put us in jail, I footed the bail, He smiled at me with his somewhat whites And said, “Let’s hit the trail.” The night became a dream, A colorful spacey scene, Red lights dancing in my head, With smoky clouds of green. The night was nearly through, A breath of city air, Until he pulled another doob Out from his underwear. He said, “No brother! I don’t need your cash. You could have all the green in the world, But you ain’t had nothing ‘til you had this HASH.” Come and live the high life, with a low life. Come and live the high life, with a low life, like me. Come and live the high life, with a low life. Come and live the high life, with a low life, like me. He said, “No brother! I don’t need your cash. You could have all the green in the world, But you ain’t had nothing ‘til you had this HASH.”

Fire and Brimstone 03:47
lyrics
You promised me that all my flesh would burn If I should breath a single lie. You painted pictures of the demon that would Count the days until I die. Fear trapped me in that cycle, I was afraid to question. I was afraid to question. Could be my final minute, Final hour, final day. I felt his presence in the air, I heard his voice as if he cared, Felt the love inside my mind, Father said, ”I love you son, Now be a dear, be full of fear.” Fire and brimstone, Standing by, Burn forever but you’ll never die. I see your sins, from deep within, I’ll punish you in ways you’ll never comprehend. Raise your hands up, raise them high. Heaven’s in the air, heaven’s in the sky. Free thought is not an option, The sinner’s dream, Obey the laws of man, Man to the king. Now be a dear, be full of fear. Fire and brimstone, Standing by, Burn forever but you’ll never die. I see your sins, from deep within, I’ll punish you in ways you’ll never comprehend.

Done With You 04:15
lyrics
I’m staying three steps behind. I’m staying three steps behind. Your backside looks much better than the words That are coming out of your foolish mind. I’m keeping a good distance from you. Your silence sounds better than the truth. I’m tired of the bad news You bring to my life. I’ve got some good news - The kind I’d like to spread around. I’ve got some good news - That I’m done with you. I’m turning my head the other way. I’m turning my head the other way. I’m not listening, To the words you have to say. I’ve got some good news - The kind I’d like to spread around. I’ve got some good news - That I’m done with you. I’ve got some good news - The kind I’d like to spread around. I’ve got some good news - Bitch I’m done with you.

Black Dream 04:25
lyrics
The house went up, As if you had dowsed the whole place in kerosene. And it’s over. And it’s over. The flames, they spoke, And they shouted out with rage, But still you lay within your dreams. Then it’s over. And it’s over. Black dream. Forever hers to keep. Black dream. Gone without a scream. The smoke was blind, And it filled the air with visions of her sandy, flowing hair. But it’s over. But it’s over. Her eyes were shut, and you carried her on hands and knees Into the salty air. But it’s over, but it’s over. Black dream. Forever hers to keep. Black dream. Gone without a scream.

You'd Better Know 03:38
lyrics
Feels real good when you’re in, The sweet sweet taste in your mouth from her ebony skin. Touch flows like magic, But there’s something else she’s trying to do, She works like Kashmir, silky smooth, Trying to take a baby out of you. You’d better know, That road’s a one-way street. You’d better know, Before you strap that chain to your feet. I know it flows, But the music only plays for a minute, You’ better know, When you move too fast you’re never complete. Her words flow out like wine, She’s got a motive of another kind. Eyes blue, they see right through you, She’s trying to take you to maternity school too. Stop ‘fore it’s too late, Her words are clear but are you seeing straight? Gotta another thing in mind about it, Gonna do my best to show you how to get around it. You’d better know, That road’s a one-way street. You’d better know, Before you strap that chain to your feet. I know it flows, But the music only plays for a minute, You’ better know, When you move too fast you’re never complete. This is how it goes: Mmm mmm mmm yeah Oooh ooh ooh OK Mmm that feels pretty good. Oh no! Not yet! Ladies and gentlemen, that’s when the dream ends and the nightmare begins! You come home to find your favorite socks in the trash, She scoured your speaker cones with an SOS pad, His dirty clothes are all over, and the toilet seats up. You’d better know, That road’s a one-way street. You’d better know, Before you strap that chain to your feet. I know it flows, But the music only plays for a minute, You’ better know, When you move too fast you’re never complete. Better know if she’s right, Before you let her win that fight. Get up and turn on the light, Save it for another night.

Drink Me Down 03:17
lyrics
Drink me down, Drink me down, I’ll swallow your frown. Drink me down, dirnk me down, Til your cares hit the ground. I’m singing to my Seagram’s Seven, And she is singing back to me. I’m singing to my bottle of scotch. Cuz I’ve got lots of time and no place to be. So pick me up and drink me down Let your worries hit the ground. That old familiar essence flows Envelops me in all my woes My sorry wage won’t pay the bills, But I’m not thinking bout that right now, Drink me down, Drink me down, Not a soul around, Drink me down, drink me down, Lose your problems in my golden brown. I’m singing to my Seagram’s Seven Cuz I aint got no hand to hold I’m singing to my bottle of scotch. Cuz’ I ain’t got no love, there’s no one for me. So pick me up and drink me down Let your worries hit the ground. That old familiar essence flows Envelops me in all my woes My sorry wage won’t pay the bills, But I’m not thinking bout that right now, I’m singing to my Seagram’s Seven Cuz I aint got no hand to hold I’m singing to my bottle of scotch. Cuz’ I ain’t got no love, there’s no one for me.
