1. Livin' on Luck (live)
Bily earned a right
ticket to another way
Gotta tell his mom
Heaven is a better place
Everything inside
Makes him wonder why he's here
There's no way out
No way out
Everything you hate
Everything is all for you
Typlically amused
By every little thing you do
There's no way out
Oh I...I been lookin' for the answer
Oh I...I could paralyze the dancer
Oh I...broke a mirror seven years ago
But I've been livin' on luck
Blood is on his hands
Of a weaker man in shame
Nothing is for real
He's goin' to the cell again
Oh I...I been lookin' for the answer
Oh I...I could paralyze the dancer
Oh I...broke a mirror seven years ago
But I've been livin' on luck
Billy earned a right
A ticket to another way
Gotta tell his mom
Heaven is a better place
Oh I...I been lookin' for the answer
Oh I...I could paralyze the dancer
Oh I...broke a mirror seven years ago
But I've been livin' on luck
Oh I...I've been swimmin' in the ocean
Oh I...it's a secondary notion
Oh I...Get up, get out, get off of me
Livin' on luck
2. Freakshow
Betcha thinkin' that the world is wrong
Betcha thinkin' that the world is sin
Betcha thinkin' that I'm takin' all the wreckage
And I'm leakin' all the info
Just to pull you in
Betcha livin' like a homeless bat
Double takin' watch your back
For me you been livin' every second
Doesn't matter what you're fearin'
Cause you're fearin' every second that you're here
Take it away
I can't take it, can't take it
We're back!....Face of the freakshow
Back, you are a freak
Take another
Try to piss you off
Take another
Takin' nothin' from me
Cultivated, overrated
I'm thinkin', I've been drinking
I've been sicker than a rat at sea
Try to blame me for a suckers fall
But you were dealin' all the cards to me
Take it away
I can't take it away yea
Talkin' to an angel
Bought a ticket to a devils deal
We're back!....Face of the freakshow
Back, you are a freak
Come on up and see the show
Gotta catch a tiger by the toe
Get a freaky trip again
One million dollars
In corporate collars
Sold out forever
All to endeavor
In spite of my share
You took the money and ran
We're back!....Face of the freakshow, back
Take it away
I can't take it, can't take it
You are a freak
3. The Rage
Say, hail the leader with the mask
Let's say we put him to the testSomehow he doesn't like the sound
He'll dig his heels into the ground
To think that he's the seventh wonder
Moving mountains with the thunder
All the lies he tries to cover
Money talks, where is the love
And the land that falls beneath him
to apologize-beneath him
Watch a crowd of many tease him
Run in circles to appease him
It's a rage of disorder, rage of disorder
Rage!...Rage!
Rage of disorder, rage of disorder
Rage!...Rage!
A little freedom for us all
Too many guns, too many tax
Too many mobs pursue the waks
Too many cops push you around
The lunatic has come unwound
I think his tie is a little too tight
We gotta teach the man his wrong from his right
Ya gotta, ya gotta, ya gotta
It's a rage of disorder, rage of disorder
Rage!...Rage!
Rage of disorder, rage of disorder
Rage!...Rage!
And the lunatic has come unwound
A little freedom erases the hate of us all
It's a rage of disorder, rage of disorder
Rage!...Rage!
Rage of disorder, rage of disorder
Rage!...Rage!Guns, guns, guns are spreading disease
Sex is survival, survival to me
He's lying to you, yea he's lying, he's lying
4. Criminal Afterlife
In a field of lies and broken homes
Fallen angels cry to get back home
When they lie along the city roads
A coat of steel won't save them from the unknown
In another life they ruled the land
People selling people for their souls
It's just a criminal afterlife
It's nothing new to the scared and lonely
It made me finally realize I'm alone
When the tears of time begin to flow
Son of an angel fires another bow
Still it ain't right, still it ain't right, still it ain't
I'm losing my sight, still it ain't right
The way you kick me out my home
It's just a criminal afterlife
It's nothing new to the scared and lonely
It made me finally realize I'm alone
I don't need no hand of charity, feelin' low
I got a feelin' that your money ain't right
Gotta feelin' that you left me no sleepin' zone
A walkin' idle bomb, you're fuse'n it slow
Oh, no, no, no, you've gotta start a riot
Oh, no, no, no, you've gotta start it
Systematic lyin' junky, cryin' rotten fool
You made a million selling funky shades of rotten doo
I don't need no hand of charity feelin' lowA walkin' idle bomb you're fuse'n it
slow
Oh, no, no, no, you've gotta start a riot
Oh, no, no, no, you've gotta start it
I don't need no doubting fire to free the stones
Another cheatin', smokin' nuclear zone
I don't like grinding the bone
I-don't-see-no-future
It's just a criminal afterlife
It's nothing new to the scared and lonely
It made me finally realize I'm alone
5. Turned in Your Gun
Just broke the law
Can't fight about it, gripe about it
Don't sell me short
Can't save our freedom's home
Blame all your allies, our nation's worst fool
Believe there's a scapegoat, the culprit's not you
The foreign code, the information's confidence
Could break the world, and see our nation fall
Expecting our allies to sponser a fool
Decifer our secrets, our culprit is youYou set a firey code
To save a world unknown
A nation's only hope
But you have turned in your gun
The FBI, a secret service spying eye
They wrote the book, to change our alibies
Blame all your allies, our nation's worst fool
Believe there's a scapegoat, the culprit's not you
You set a firey code
To save a world unknown
A nation's only hope
But you have turned in your gun
Just broke the law
Don't sell me short
Can't save our freedom's home
Expecting our allies to sponser a fool
Decifer our secrets, our culprit is you
You set a fiery code
To save a world unknown
A nation's only hope
But you have turned in your gun
You set a fiery code
To save a world unknown
6. Call Me by My Real Name
I-I, Hold-Hold
Weathered by the storm
And you-you, won't feel-won't feel
You're wasted by the one
And now-and now, you know-you know
Your money's running low
Your last cigarette has got you
Choking on the bone
Down-Down, cold-cold
Hungry from the road
I need-I need
My better days
My whiskey cup is broke
So leave me alone
While my head is hummin' cold
I lost my mind on borrowed time
I can't find my way home
Call me by my real name
My bottle's runnin' dry
Call me by my real name
Your painted face is shy
My whiskey makes me feel things
My brother never lies
Time-time, now-now
Always played it coolEvery step I take I'm heading for the swimming pool
So feed me, believe me
My friends will never leave me
But one wrong look
And I'll close the book
I'll knock you on your ass
Call me by my real name
My bottle's runnin' dry
Call me by my real name
Your painted face is shy
My whiskey makes me feel things
My brother never lies
Call me by my real name
My bottle's runnin' dry
Call me by my real name
Your painted face is shy
My whiskey makes me feel things
My brother never lies
Call me by my real name
Call me by my real name
My whiskey makes me feel things
My brother never lies
7. The Train
Just yesterday
I took the train
So many times
You went away
I searched the
Whole world over
Never looking
Over my shoulder
Your silver linings
Hold the key
Just leave your
Spare change next to me
You took your chances
With the big time
Oh, where's your
Sense of destiny
Oh Heidi of Rodeo
Will you ever
Find your way home
Between the lovers
And the freaks
Livin' your life
Between the sheets
She's all wrong
I took the train
When she was gone
She'll cut you
If she could
Another night
In Hollywood
Her favorite color's
Always greener
Her favorite book
The dates you keepYou like the
Taste of money
White wine
The limo's runnin'
Your silver linings
Hold the key
Just leave your spare change
Next to me
Does anybody out there
Know her name
Does anybody out there care
She tried to ride the rail
But she couldn't make the bail
Just yesterday I took the train
Yesterday, yesterday
Just yesterday I took the train
Yesterday, yesterday
Just yesterday
I took the train
Yesterday, yesterday
Yesterday
8. In Our Minds
Seven years ago
When you still had your smile
When you still had your laugh
Always in control
To bring us all alive
To leave us when you died
Walking on the plank
Walking on the wire
Running from the pain
Always start the fire
To throw it all away
Your life fell on the rocks
Traded in your attitude
Retire to the skies
What were you thinking
Who'd you wanna be
What were you drinking
That set your mind at ease
Did you forget us all
And leave us far behind
Now you're only someone
In our minds
Don't you know
That you were loved
You know that you were liked
I know you had shadows
To tell you wrong from right
And all your friends
In all the heavens
Can make you free
To fly...fly
I know there's a limit boy
There's a limit
On your life
I'll see you at the gate
My friend
We'll play it one more time
What were you thinking
Who'd you wanna be
What were you drinking
That set your mind at ease
Did you forget us all
And leave us far behind
Now you're only someone
In our minds
Oh, it's a scary situation
To think it could be me
To think it could be me
To think it could be
It's like I made this highway home
Another dark and lonely road
If there's a god
Then heaven's gonna help me
Another bow
A broken arrow
Another fight with
Life so shallow
What were you thinkin'
Who'd you wanna be
What were you drinkin'
That set your mind at ease
Did you forget us all
And leave this world behind
Now you're only someone
In our minds
9. The Innocent Only
If I ever get out of this city
You will never be lonely
Like the nights in New York
Never sleeping
I'll be hittin' the roadway
I'm feeling this is another change
When the old man read
What's the billboard saying to me
If I ever get out of this city
You will never be lonely
Another neon light overhead
Just to rot my bloodshot
Eyes are red...but I...
If I ever get out of this city
You will never be lonely
And the winter holds
The open road ahead
I'm so tired
I'm so tired
I'm so tired of this
And the summer's calling
Me to home again
And sometimes
And sometimes
And sometimes...
And the tiny cigarettes
That you're leaving
Are burnin' holes
In the hallway
Another day that my meals got away
And my bottle is broke
From the dues I've got to pay
Life is easy
For all in the city
But the innocent only
I'm feeling this is another change
When the old man read
What's the old man saying to me
If I ever get out of this city
You will never be lonely
And the winter holds
The open road ahead
I'm so tired
I'm so tired
I'm so tired of this
And the summer's calling
Me to home again
And sometimes
And sometimes
And sometimes
I guess that's the way it should go
Me against the world
I'm feeling this is another change
When the old man read
What's the old
man saying to me
Life is easy for all
In the city
But the innocent
And the winter holds
The open road ahead
I'm so tired
I'm so tired
I'm so tired of this
And the summer's calling me
To home again
I'm so tired
I'm so tired
I'm so so so tired
Oh, winter's calling me home
And I just can't let it go
I've got the summer, summer, summer blues
10. Indian Summer
Rain is falling
My face is burning
Time to worship the sun
Standing still but
My wheels are turning
Time to polish my gun
Walk the mile
For my native brother
Carving names on the wall
Temperment of my canine calling
Can't find right from wrong
And winter starts to fall
Against the canyon walls
Dance to the rain and sunshine
Sang to the beat of my brother
Danced through the rain and sunshine
It's indian summer
By the avenue of the desert
Lay the weaker to rest
Took me in as a stranger once
But now I dance with the dead
And winter starts to fall
Against the canyon walls
Dance to the rain and sunshine
Sang to the beat of my brother
Danced through the rain and sunshine
It's indian summer
And winter starts to fall
Against the canyon walls
Dance to the rain and sunshine
Sang to the beat of my brother
Dance to the rain and sunshine
It's indian, indian, indian
Oooh, you've got me indian summer
11. High
Huge success
The kind that makes you wonder
I am no test
Repossed
I'm under, I am nowhere
A solitary way
Huge success you never gave away
What if I were high
What if you were evil
What if I were high
What if you were evil
I am haunted
Cool September wind
Fools flaunted
Who cares about sleepin'
Cold numbers in order
Fire in my water
Kept it spinning in my bed
What if I were high
What if you were evil
What if I were high
What if you were evil
12. Wars
Crashing the skies
It is raining industrial years
Following the rivers of soot
Artificial years
The water is stone
All the animals bone
I'm alive
The sky opens up
Swallows all that is bound inside
Wars are bleeding
Wars are feeding
An artist is painting
Without any hands
A race of in-humans
They won't understand
Wars are bleeding
Wars are feeding
Stainless steel houses
With black platinum doors
Hide from the killers
The gamblers, the whores
For every bad feeling of hate
If you give up your flag for a life
They'll commit you insane
Bloodbath...a massacre
The five walls of silence
A leader who stands tall
Wars are bleeding
Wars are feeding
An artist is painting
Without any hands
A race of in-humans
They won't understand
Wars are bleeding
Wars are feeding
Stainless steel houses
With black platinum doors
Hide from the killers
The gamblers, the whores
Wars....wars....wars
Wars are bleeding
Wars are feeding
An artist is painting
Without any hands
A race of in-humans
They won't understand
Wars!!
13. Electric
You live at night
There's seven ways to make a dollar
When the sun goes down
You try to face another day
You shade the light
And hit the basement wall
You lie aloud
And you're a liar
Lick the ashes from the firefly
Success has always been your collar
Like the dog that bit the poison bait
Twist of fate
Shake, shake it till you're
Out of town
Shake, shake it till you're
Out of bounds
Shake, shake it till you're
Out of town
Electric love
Shake, shake it till you're
Out of town
Shake, shake it till you're
Out of bounds
Shake, shake it till you're
Out of town
Electric, 'lectric love
Shake, shakin' off the warning signs
Doesn't bother you
That you haven't seen a strangers face
Shake, shakin' all the time
You try to right your way to wrong
Because you think it's right
Stay in sight
Shake, shake it till you're
Out of town
Shake, shake it till you're
Out of bounds
Shake, shake it till you're
Out of town
Electric, 'lectric love
Shake, shake it till you're
Out of town
Shake, shake it till you're
Out of bounds
Shake, shake it till you're
Out of town
Electric, 'lectric love
I am an only child
A little wiser, a little older now
Electric love...electric love...electric love...electric love...electric,
'lectric love
Stop wasting
All your friends complaining
What they fear from you
They're lonely...they're lonely
All alone
You've always said you're content
Shake, shake it till you're
Out of town
Shake, shake it till you're
Out of bounds
Shake, shake it till you're
Out of town
Electric, 'lectric love
Shake, shake it till you're
Out of town
Shake, shake it till you're
Out of bounds
Shake, shake it till you're
Out of town
Electric, 'lectric love
14. Toxic Rain
Obsessed, pleasure and pain
It's the only world I know
Living in toxic rain
And my head is ready to go
My hands are burnin'
The wheels are turnin'
And the butterfly's lickin' the toad
Melting minds will just explode
Toxic rain, another bomb is freezing my head
Toxic rain, another storm is leaving
The thunder is bringing us fear again
The walls have crumbled to sand
Yes, the lines are deep in my hands
Guns and toys of modern man
Self-destruction again
What the hell is wrong with the plan
When my mind is leading
The world is bleeding
And the caretaker's making the bed
Toxic rain, another bomb is freezing my head
Toxic rain, another storm is leaving
The thunder is bringing us fear again
Wars of money try to break me
When I'm broke
Wars of time-delusions of hope
What a joke
When the blind can see
All the criminals free
You've got nothing to lose
You take nothing from me
And my head spins crazy
From the air that I breathe
I can't breathe
Toxic rain, another bomb is freezing my head
Toxic rain, another storm is leaving
The thunder is bringing us fear again
Obsessed, pleasure and pain
It's the only world I know
Living in toxic rain
And my head is ready, my head is ready to blow
Toxic rain...Toxic rain...Toxic rain...Toxic rain

16. Live to Die (demo)
Alone, don't you want to be free
The road that you left me
Has spent all the best part of me
Oh, you lost all your taste
You used up my body
And just left my mind lay to waste
Now it's alright
Let your superstitions hide
It's alright
The way you live to die
It's all my reasons
To leave you tonight
At night, you're waiting for me
Lost in your nightmare
I'm under your pillow to scream
The glass, a broken mirror it seems
Shattering pieces, to ruin your life in your dreams
Now it's alright
Let your superstitions hide
It's alright
The way you live to die
It's all my reasons
To leave you tonight
Ladders are falling
The black cat will call
Waiting to bleed all the rain
The number 13 left you crying again
Tied up in ropes try to break... try to break
Try to break from the chains
Now it's alright
Let your superstitions hide
It's alright, the way you live to die
It's all my reasons
To leave you tonight
17. The River (demo)
A quiet night on an endless street
The smell makes me fall to my knees
Desire strikes, I've been dealt by the hand
A tooth for an eye, it's the law of the land
I'm defecting your laws, I'm rejecting the sky
I'm reflecting your face, I'm a victim of crime
I was sent from the sky
I'm destined to die
I'm the bloodline, the river is rolling
Like a train on the tracks, turn your white into black
I'm alive, and the pain, it is showing
I'm defecting your laws, I'm rejecting the sky
I'm reflecting your face, I'm a victim of crime
The river, oh, the river
It's flowing through my veins
The river
A fight's a fight, it's your last meal
The bulls have returned to the cage
Dust in my eyes, the sweat from the rays
My conscious will lead me, my mind it deceived me
I'm defecting your laws, I'm rejecting the sky
I'm reflecting your face, I'm a victim of crime
The river, oh, the river
It slowly brings you down
The river
18. Call the Ghost (demo)
My people fight to hold me
My people fight to choose
My people built this wall of inner strength to keep from you
Surrender's not my language
I never learned to pick and choose
My freedom violated contracts of a corporate rule
When I die I wanna taste of hope
When in doubt, I'll call the ghost
If I'm flying with my friends
I know I will be watching you from here
Now everyone I talk to tells me
Everyone I talk to knows
Now everyone has got their own direction for my life to go
My people fight for freedom
And my people fight to grow
My people hide behind the hidden secrets you don't know
When I die, I wanna take you there
When in doubt I'll call the ghost
If I'm flying with my friends
Up here, a path of straight and narrow gold
When I die I wanna take you there
When in doubt I'll call the ghost
The spirits surround me, my life I want back
Does anyone regret this anger, anyone regret you know
Does anybody really care what makes the path of straight and narrow gold
Another foreign figures army sets his sites on killing all
Why is the value of our life within his hands
When I die I wanna take you there
When in doubt I'll call the ghost
If I'm flying with my friends
Up here, a path of straight and narrow gold
Cause when I die, I wanna take you there
When I'm in doubt, I'll call the ghost
When I'm dyin', when I'm dyin'
A path of straight and narrow gold
19. In the Gutter (demo)
Livin' in the gutter
Livin' in the gutter
Livin'in the gutter
Livin' in the gutter
Sleepin' in the gutter
Daddy says the preacher man
Is stealin' from us blind
He says it's only money
But instead he's doin' time
I don't like your information
I don't like your attitude
I don't like the way you lose control
I don't like your nasty mama
I don't like your hangman's noose
I don't like the way
You let me know what I'm feeling
You do alot of singing
But you're way out of tune
You do alot of changing
But you're..
Said you're afraid to bite the apple
Sharpen the knife
When you lose your cool
Walked a mile when you made me crazy
Walked away from revenge on you
I don't think it's time
To let you know what I'm sayin'
You do alot of singing
But you're way out of tune
You do alot of changing
But you're...
Daddy says the preacher
Man is stealin' from us blind
He says it's only money
But instead he's doin' time
He's kinda feeling lucky
When the dealer's on his side
His head is in the water
But his feet are still dry
Livin' in the gutter
Sleepin' in the gutter
Livin' in the gutter
Sleepin' in the gutter
Livin' in the gutter
Sleepin' in the gutter
Livin' in the gutter
Sleepin' in the gutter
Livin' in the gutter
Sleepin' in the gutter
Livin' in the gutter
Sleepin' in the gutter
Livin' in the gutter
Sleepin' in the gutter
Livin' in the gutter
Sleepin' in the gutter
Hands of time
Sands of time
Hold on tight
When it rains it really pours
Piercing chimes
Your voice is mine
Way too fast
You learned to run
Before you walk and I mean it
You do alot of singing
But you're way out of tune
You do alot of changing
But you're...
Daddy says the preacher
Man is stealin' from us blind
He says it's only money
But instead he's doin' time
He's kinda feelin' lucky
When the dealer's on his side
His head is in the water
But his feet are still dry
Livin' in the gutter
Sleepin' in the gutterLivin' in the gutter
Sleepin' in the gutter
Livin' in the gutter
Sleepin' in the gutter
Livin' in the gutter
Sleepin' in the gutter
Livin' in the gutter
Sleepin' in the gutter
Livin' in the gutter
Sleepin' in the gutter
Livin' in the gutter
Sleepin' in the gutter
Livin' in the gutter
Sleepin' in the gutter
Said you were afraid
To leave forever
Sharpen the knife
When you lose your cool
Sleeping with one eye open
I'm thinking of leaving you
Daddy says the preacher
Man is stealing from us blind
He says it's only money
But instead he's doin' time
He's kinda feeling lucky
When the dealer's on his side
His head is in the water
But his feet are still dry
