Straight ahead, no breaks Bad kids looking for heartache Hiding between the downtown lights and dreaming It’s hot, hanging on the roof top Keys drop, sucking down a soda pop I like the way your face looks in the moonlight And it’s such dumb luck, that we’re the same kind of trouble A destructive pair like a fire work display I don’t give a fuck, I’m tired of being hustled Is there something in the air, or is it that we’re jaded How much I shake I’m a little earthquake You’re a tall palm tree, swinging in the breeze Ice cream switchblade not afraid You’re so tough so lemonade Hopping on trains and skipping through the turnstiles So we’re walking down the street with our mean faces Letting people know just what their place is If we don’t do it, who’s gonna run this city And it’s such dumb luck, that we’re the same kind of trouble A destructive pair like a fire work display I don’t give a fuck, I’m tired of being hustled Is there something in the air, or is it that we’re jaded How much I shake I’m a little earthquake You’re a tall palm tree, swinging in the breeze Whoa, I committed a crime Whoa, now I’m doing time Whoa, I committed a cream But I’m feeling fine How much I shake I’m a little earthquake You’re a tall palm tree swinging in the breeze

They raised your rent but the neighborhoods the same (you don’t even know it) You keep starting fires just to watch the dancing flame (you don’t even know it at all) Ooooo It’s summer in China in New York it’s forever gray (you don’t even know it) With your greasy denim jacket and your smile that’s beginning to fray (you don’t even know it) You don’t even know it all It’s just another day Another person in your way You don’t even know it, it didn’t even cross your mind You don’t even know the way they fall to your feet You don’t even know that the temperatures rising You don’t even know that you’ve never been beat You don’t even know why I’ve got you on my mind You don’t even know that you’re crossing the line I’ve been standing on the corner waiting for you all damn day (you don’t even know it) There’s a love in my locket but you took the key and lost it babe (you don’t even know it at all) It’s just another style Another girl for a while You don’t even know it, it didn’t even cross your mind You don’t even know the way they fall to your feet You don’t even know that the temperatures rising You don’t even know that you’ve never been beat You don’t even know why I’ve got you on my mind You don’t even know that you’re wasting my time Oh no, honey don’t You’re breaking my heart when you look my way Oh no, honey don’t Don’t you ever change a thing It’s better that you stay the same You don’t even know the way they fall to your feet You don’t even know that the temperatures rising You don’t even know that you’ve never been beat You don’t even know why I’ve got you on my mind You don’t even know that you’re one of a kind

Wool 04:34
Midnight that lonely hour forever dark
 Moonlight rattle snakes in central park
 Lose your mind in the summertime heat   
Walk yourself down the golden streets
 
 Shadows of buildings shine red and the moon throws it back
 Trace the east river in an old Cadillac
 Passing through scenes that I know too well
 Living under the film maker’s spell

 Pull the wool over your eyes 
Feel your dreams materialize 
 Pull the wool over your eyes 
Feel like it’s happening to you

 Ooooo A heavy heart and a silvery screen 
 Let your dreams play on in repeat 
Let your dreams play on in repeat 

Up in lights the title of your ragged heart 
Can’t be read ‘cause a bulbs goes dark
 City girl stung by a scorpion 
 Pull the wool over your eyes 
Feel your dreams materialize 
 Pull the wool over your eyes 
Feel like it’s happening to you

 And the passersby just keep walking on

Summer heat knocking out the lights Me and you staying up all night It doesn’t matter what they say, we’re never gonna stay away It might not last but it feels like love for now I got lost in the debris of love Flying in circles like a broken dove But now I know Mascara colored tears will fall Sitting close and drinking in the park Wondering who will be the first to talk Speeding by on the subway Pretending that we’re runaways A little drunk and dreaming underground I got lost in the debris of love Flying in circles like a broken dove But now I know Mascara colored tears will fall The cyclone spun the debris of love It’s never enough The cyclone spun the debris of love It’s never enough The cyclone spun the debris of love It’s never enough The cyclone spun the debris of love It was not enough, not enough The cyclone spun the debris of love It just wasn’t enough, it wasn’t enough I got lost in the debris of love Flying in circles like a broken dove But now I know Mascara colored tears will fall

I was so blue like a watercolor coming down The skin of a dream so quiet you could look through You stayed anyway, even though the rain was falling now You showed me I had wings but never flew So happy now, I didn’t stop to wonder But in the distance I could hear a little Thunder Funny how words yeah they get me every time I let you fill the pages I let you fill the lines Now when you call out, is it the way you say my name There’s no eternal love, ahead things always changed I could be wrong, why do I even wonder When in the distance I hear a little Thunder It’s only rain People say Only Rain People Say Only rain People say But the flood The flood carries me away I could be wrong, why do I even wonder When in the distance I hear a little Thunder

Walk Away 03:43
I stayed to long but that’s alright To tell the truth I love the fight You twisted words I punched out lights
Now we’re through, I’ve paid the price And you know You hate to See me go I’m not yours anymore But you can watch me walk away I’m taking each step nice and slow Yeah you can watch me walk away I’ll even let you hold the door You play your tricks you’re a cheater too I know your kind baby I know you Honey hone honey on your mind Your teeth are sharp, your heart is blind But you can watch me walk away I’m taking each step nice and slow Yeah you can watch me walk away I’ll even let you hold the door Watch me walk away Watch me walk away Yeah you can watch me walk away I’ll give you your own private show You wanted the moon, I am the moon You wanted LA so you had it your way I took a chance on you, gave you my heart too, now there’s nothing to do But you can watch me walk away Watch me walk away I’m taking each step nice and slow You can watch me walk away I’ll even let you hold the door Watch me walk away Watch me walk away Yeah you can watch me walk away

Bad Habit 04:24
In a world spun by temptation I’m the devil, got no limits Give me a little I’m still gonna take it all I’ve been with angels, I heard them weeping Tried to tell ‘um they don’t know what they’re missing There’s no life way up high it’s all in valley below It’s just our nature I wouldn’t call it a curse When you try to resit it It makes it so much worse I’m a bad habit I’ll make you feel better When you cant have it I make you want more You’ve got a bad habit I got you beggin’ It’s a bad habit, man you’ve got it bad You can meet me when you’re feeling lonely I’ll be your one and only help you through the night You need me you’re waiting for your dealer I’m you’re only healer Just give up the fight It’s just our nature I wouldn’t call it a curse When you try to resit it It makes it so much worse I’m a bad habit I’ll make you feel better When you cant have it I make you want more You’ve got a bad habit I got you beggin’ It’s a bad habit, man you’ve got it bad It’s ok just let go You can fall in my arms Fall from grace its ok I’ll catch you every time I’m a bad habit I’ll make you feel better When you cant have it I make you want more You’ve got a bad habit I got you beggin’ It’s a bad habit, man you’ve got it bad

I never say goodbye I know there’s a place we go when we die, when we die There’s no use in feeling alone We’ll all be together when we are gone, when we’re gone We all slip down to our bones, into the night we go dancing It’s the skeleton dance baby, no need to cry when your soul is alive I didn’t wanna see you go Not having you here on this earth pains me so, pains me so We all strip down to our bones into the night we go dancing It’s the skeleton dance baby, no need to cry when your soul is alive Dancing with the angels Dancing with the angels Dancing with the angles on your grave We all strip down to our bones into the night we go dancing It’s the skeleton dance baby, no need to cry when your soul is alive

Mind Eater 03:43
Everyone’s going crazy Some are losing heart Some are pushing daisies Some just fall apart It’s another mental epidemic And I know that I can never runaway You with your good luck tears Me with my disbelief eyes And it all comes crashing down I can’t get it out of my head World on fire it’s a mind eater mind eater So many ways to end me Still I’m trying to survive Leaders just offend me So I start another riot I don’t even want to stay connected You with your good luck tears Me with my disbelief eyes And it all comes crashing down I can’t get it out of my head World on fire it’s a mind eater mind eater Cannibals and the undead It’s a mind eater mind eater  
10.
Be With You 06:17
Just like that it’s gone The future is grim There’s blood in the streets, blood on the hands But I can’t stop bleeding for you In some ways time will stop A victory march, graves unmarked But I wont stop living for you My eyes are closed I’m dreaming Looking back on the glory of the beast And it can’t stop me ‘Cause when the world explodes I wanna be with you When the world explodes I wanna be with you Patience has run out There’s nothing I can say, nothing I can do I’m just gonna keep breathing for you How I miss those good old days Rebels for the hell of it Dodging bullets throwing blame It’s never gonna be the same No it’s never gonna be the same My eyes are closed I’m dreaming Looking back on the glory of the beast And it can’t stop me ‘Cause when the world explodes I wanna be with you When the world explodes I wanna be with you ‘Cause when the world explodes I wanna be with you When the world explodes I wanna be with you be with you
