1. Victim of Changes
Whiskey woman don't you know that you are driving me insane?
The liquor you give stems your will to live and gets right to my brain
You're tryin' to find your way through life
You’re tryin' to get some new direction
Another woman's got your man
She won't find no new connection
Takes another drink or two, things look better when she's through
Take another look around, you ain’t going anywhere
You realize that you're gettng old and no-one seems to care
You're tryin' to find your way again, tryin' to find something new
Another woman's got your man, everthing you see is bad news
Takes another drink or two, things look better when she's through
You been foolin' with some hot guy
I want to know why is it why
Get up, get out
You know you really blew it
I've had enough, I've had enough
Good God, suck me
Once she was wonderful
Once she was fine
Once she was beautiful
Once she was mine
Now a change has come over her body
She doesn't see me anymore
Now a change has come over her body
She doesn't see me anymore
Changes
Changes
Changes
Victim of changes
2. Never Satisfied
Where do we go from here
There must be something near
Changing you, changing me
Forever
Places change, faces change
Life is so very strange
Changing minds, changing times
Together
There's nowhere left to go
This could be our last show
Changing dreams, changing schemes
Never
We are never satisfied
Love has gone, so has fun
Now we're reaching for the gun
Changing cast, changing fast
No more tether
We are never satisfied
3. Black Sheep of the Family
I've got nothing in my head
Got a floor for the bed
The future's at the bottom of a tea cup
I got a half a pair of shoes
And no time to lose
I'm wondering when I'm going to wise up
Fortune shine your light on me and my dog
Cause we need some security
While all the folks are living high up the hill
I'm the black sheep of the family
I've got half a pound of rice
A beard full of lice
A mission called retrogression
I've got pocket full of dust
And eating is a must
if you want to make a good impression
Fortune shine your light on me and my nose
Cause we need some security
I got a little bad luck and it grows and it grows
I'm the black sheep of the family
All the words are wrong and my shadow’s getting long
I realise this song don’t mean much
Got an ache in my head, I wanna go to bed
Tomorrow I don't have to wake up, no
So forune shine your light on me, I’m amazed
It's true what they say about familiarity
There's nothing good this way
And it's true they say
I'm the black sheep of the family
So forune shine your light on me, I’m amazed
It's true what they say about familiarity
There's nothing good this way
And it's true they say
I'm the black sheep of the family
I’m the black sheep
Black sheep
Black sheep
I’m the black sheep
I’m the black sheep
4. The Melt Down
5. Winter
Got no silver in my pockets
Got no pillow for my bed
And the winter it gets stronger
Got to ease my aching head
In the morning when I wake up
Get this feeling deep inside
And I wonder if I'll die young
Or just go out of my mind
I still get this awful feeling
When the snow falls to the ground
It still sends my senses reeling
Going winter underground
I still get this awful feeling
When the snow falls to the ground
And it sends my senses reeling
Going winter
6. Metanoia
7. Mind Conception
MIND CONCEPTION
Big black room is closing
Closing on my mind
Walked around it time and time
See what I could find
Doors they open for me
Winds blow from behind
Hold me back and warn me
Look out for a sign
But I don’t hear a thing
Except a distant ring
Tolling bells are calling me
And I will go to them
When the nightmare ends
And the waker sets me free
Confused confrontations
How long will this last
Dark illusinations
Hide behind their mask
Shadows in the hallways
Turn their true form, shape
Warning that a darker day
Waits when I’m awake
But I don’t hear a thing
Except a distant ring
Tolling bells are calling me
And I will go to them
When the nightmare ends
And the waker sets me free
Falling, falling – deeper and deeper
How the night holds on to me
Falling, falling – weaker and weaker
Page the keeper, bring the key
Calling, calling – over and over
In this endless night of nights
Yeaning, burning – running for cover
Until another dawn and light
8. Holy is the Man
Don’t have no fear
And live a lot on the wild side
Got so many files
Every day is a hard life
Like my noise real loud
Spirits strong and neat
Take on any young pretenders
And all that’s on the street
And holy is the man
Who can turn this sinner out of me
Never kid from danger
Never got much loving
Learned to look out for myself
And find it hard forgiving
Got a real mean nature
Never on for giving
Had the fight to survive
Just to keep on living
And holy is the man
Who can turn this sinner out of me
Holy is the man
Who can turn this sinner out of me
Never ran from trouble
Always stood my ground
Got this reputation
Got to live it down
Built-in destruction
Hard to the core
Just hold contemption
When it comes to the law
And holy is the man
Who can turn this sinner out of me
Holy is the man
Who can turn this sinner out of me
And holy is the man
Who can turn this sinner out of me
