1. Spit
Wrong move
Dead inside
Spit in your eye
Fuck you
You're searching for the answers
You're looking from the inside
Always searching for the answers
Another way to kill time
You're movin' with the dancer
And every move a phony lie
Wrong move
Dead inside
Spit in your eye
Fuck, fuck it
It's a do or die
Stealin' from the dog pen
Feedin' from the white lies
Try to catch the A-train
Countdown do or die
Following the leader
Spit in your eye
Wrong move
Dead inside
Spit in your eye
Fuck you
It's a do or die
Spit, spit, spit
I've got the urge
To stick your face in the dirt
And I've got a lot to say
Cause I speak with my hands
So get out of my way
It's a do or die
Spit, spit, spit, spit
So many times
You dig in the dirt
You dig too far
You can't come back
You haven't the answers
You walk the straight line
Always diggin' in the dirt
Wrong move
Dead inside
Spit in your eye
Dig
It's a do or die
Spit, spit, spit, spit
Spit, spit, spit, spit, bitch
2. In the Gutter
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
3. Electric Love
You live at night
There's seven ways to make a dollar
When the sun goes down
Say you're right
You try to face another day
You chase the light
And hit the basement wall
Say you're right
You lie aloud and you're a liar
Lick the ashes from the firefly
Golden fire
Success has always been your collar
Like the dog who 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 love
Shake, shakin' off the warning signs
Doesn't bother you
That you haven't seen a stranger's face
Saving grace
Shake, shakin' all the time
You try to right your way to wrong
Because you think it's right
Stay in site
Shake, shake it till you're out of townShake, 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 love
I am an only child
A little wiser
A little older now
Electric Love...Electric Love
Electric Love...Electric Love
Electric Love...Electric Love...Electric Love
Stop wasting all your friends
Complaining what they fear from you
Cause they're lonely
They're lonely
All alone
You've always said you're content
Well alright
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 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 love
4. Yesterday
Yesterday's charade
Made us all kneel down and pray
And we thought about
The way we had it made
And yesterday's 'horay's'
Seem a little bit cold today
When I try to talk
I'm lost for words to say
I try to run
Try to run back now
Try to love
But I don't know how
How to love again
I'm giving up
Giving up my vows
I tried to leave
But I got kicked out
All the doors that lead
Have opened paths to run away
And only yesterday
Silence writes a page
In the diaries I once made
But I don't care
Who can read them anymore
Try to run
Try to run back now
I try to love
But I don't know how
How to love again
I try to dream
But I'm all dreamt out
I try to sleep
But I just can't fake it
All the crazy dreams
Have broken paths to run away
Voices I speak in sleep
Tell secrets that I keepIn the night you've got
Your ear against my door
I try to run
Try to run back now
Try to love
But I don't know how
How to love againI try to dream
But I'm all dreamt out
I try to sleep
But I just can't fake it
All the crazy dreams
Have opened paths to run away
Yesterday's charade
Made us all kneel down and pray
And we thought about
The way we had it made
5. Disconnected
You're diggin'
You're diggin'
You're diggin' in the shit
You're diggin'
You're diggin'
You're diggin' in the shit
Ain't got no money
You ain't got no home

I disconnected myself
From my telephone

My point of view
I disconnected myself
From my home
And I disconnected myself
From...you
I'm disconnected
From being cool
I'm disconnected
From my old school
I've disconnected
My ball and chain
I've disconnected
You from my brain
I'm disconnected
From the legal shit
I know a man
He gets alot
He gets alot of it
Ain't got no money
You ain't got no home

I made a b-line
To the ATM machine
Lost all my money
On unleaded gasoline
I tried to get my car inspected
Just to find
I've been rejected
I'm disconnected
From your baggy clothes
I'm disconnected
From your earring nose
I'm disconnected
From getting burned
I'm disconnected
From Howard Stern
I'm disconnected
In Ross Perot
I'm disconnected In the money flow
Somebody turn the channel
Disconnect me from Geraldo
I'm in America
A hero and a crook
They'll pay a million dollars
Just to write my book
I'll ride the tabloid parade
Don't have to work
I've got it made
Don't piss me off
Get in my way
Don't piss me off
Get in my way
Ain't got no money
You ain't got no home
Ain't got no money
You ain't got no home
Ain't got no money

You're diggin' in the shit
You're diggin'
You're diggin'
You're diggin' in the shit
6. Machine World
Somewhere, hiding out
From the shame inside
Reach out
Grab a hold of the sky
Give me a piece
Of the broken past
Give me a reason
To say that I can
Give me a piece
Of the life I wanna hold
I don't need
Power in my blood
You shiver to breathe
All the life that you run
Give me a reason to live
I wanna know
Somewhere, January's
Really June
Somewhere, holidays
On the moon
Give me a piece
Of the dog eat world
Give me a freak show
To lose my girlLeave me a piece of the pie
I don't wanna know
I don't need power
In my blood
You try to give me every reason
Just to keep my mouth shutGive me a piece
Of the money and I'll run
All machines come
The seasoning of
The power that's inside
You got to let it slide
Let it slide
Life on rewind
The only sign of the times
Give me the beat boys
And free my soul
I wanna get lost
In your rock and roll
Let the machines come
Elec-ec-ectric shockin' me
All machines come
The seasoning of
The power that's inside
You gotta let it slide
Let it slide
Life on rewind
The only sign
Of the times
Somewhere, January's
Really June
Somewhere, holidays
On the moon
You gotta let it slide
Let it slide
Somewhere, somewhere
Some, some, somewhere
7. Time of the Season
8. Hole in the Sky
There's a hole in the sky
Where the rain is falling
The rain is falling, but I
Now we're living
In the lion's den
Time to wake
Time for hunting again
And there's a lady over there
She's looking pretty good to me
Now I'll have to
Rip her family apart
And make a mess
Out of this lonely heart
I never meant
For it to be
What's yours is mine
Call me younger
Wiser, older
My life is yesterday's rain
Ah, ah, ahThere's a hole in the sky
Ah, ah, the rain is Falling, but I...
And all the words
I swore in vain
My life is yesterday's rain
Now I travel through
This foggy night
Travel in pairs
To avoid a fight
Another late night
Guess I'll sleep it off tomorrow
Everything's dying
But this hole in the sky
Shine on down to me
It's beginning new life
If I can wash away the past
You'll come back to me
Back to me
Call me younger
Wiser, older
My life is yesterday's rain
Ah, ah, ah
There's a hole in the sky
Ah, ah, the rain is
Falling, but I...
And all the words
I swore in vain
My life is yesterday's rain
My life is yesterday's rain
You and I are much older
Hold on to yesterday
My life is yesterday
You and I are much colder
Hold on to yesterday
My life is yesterday's rain
Call me younger
Wiser, older
My life is yesterday's rain
Ah, ah, ah
There's a hole in the sky
Ah, ah, the rain is
Falling but I...
Ah, ah, ah
There's a hole in the sky
And all the words
I swore in vain...
9. Shoot the News
Gotta bet your reputations on it
I don't ever wanna die alone
Headlines, deadlines
Gotta shoot the news
Gonna make the news
I just came from boredom town
Like a hand-me-down
From a foreign ground
I know, you know
Competitions high but so am I
I'm at the right place
Right time
Gotta have the right look
The right lineStick it to me now
You love the game
The falling rain
You're soakin' wet
You feel the pain
Gotta bet your reputation on it
I don't ever want to die alone
I don't wanna bet the dirty money
Buy myself a soul
Yea, I know, same old dance
With the same old lines
Try to think about
Who you've been seeing
Mamma's girl with daddy's lies
Alright, so you're uptight
And you made a little money
But it don't seem right
But with the right look
Right lines
You'll make it to the
Penthouse in no time
Stick it to me now
You love the game
The falling rain
You're soakin' wet
You love the game
Gotta bet your reputation on it
I don't ever want to die alone
I don't wanna bet the dirty money
Buy myself a soul
Gotta bet your reputation on it
I don't ever want to die alone
I don't wanna bet the dirty money
Buy myself a soul
Your boss, he says the stakes are low
Domestic wave, your chic's a ho
10. Spanish Skies
Half blind, hands tied
Sometimes love divides
Midnight summer
In a spanish sky
Latin rythms in the wind
It's like...home to me
Oh, the island's bleached
From it's own rays
Salted air and my mouth is dry
Said to a woman
Under painted skies...hold me
Oh, the island stirred
From a small parade
The stars at night
Won't cross the rine
Lonely isles, domestic wine
Like candy
Oh, we made love
Under the sun's rays
Half blind, hands tied
Sometimes love divides
Oh, oh, it didn't look that strange
From the island's coast
I'll cast a line to
The clouds tonight
Oh, oh, lovers lost
In the devil's fight
Angels come turn
Wrong to right
I was lying there
Thunder crashed
She lit up the sky
Longer hair and
Superstitious eyes
Spells were cast
And now I'm...
Caught in the middle
Of an endless fightGood and evil
Meets wrong and right...help me
Oh, the island shakes
From a small parade
Midnight summer
In a spanish sky
Latin rythms in the wind
It's like...home to me
Oh, we made love
Under the sun's rays
Half blind, hands tied
Sometimes love divides
Half blind, hands are tied
Am I hypnotized
I've been hypnotized
But that's alright
Oh, oh, it didn't look that strange
From the island's coast
I'll cast a line
To the clouds tonight
Oh, oh lovers lost
In the devil's fight
Good and evil turns
Wrong to right
She don't, she don't, she don't, she don't...
11. Prince of the Garden
Golden tiles and golden lines
Reflections blinding me
I see your eyes like mirror blinds
The only thing I see
Hands across a cotton tie
The hands that once were free
Alone you sleep in space tonight
Far away from me
You're the prince of the garden
Tie your hair back in a bow
Time to tell someone you love them
The wind is growing cold
Leave the world
That you created
You've got flowers
In your hair
All the ashtrays full
Of blue tears
They're the ones
Who really care
I'm alive
You've got seven counts
Against you
You've got cuffs
Of serated steel
All the charges
Brought against you
Can't believe
That this is real
And the only
Thing that matters
If by chance
That you really care
To be in the arms
Of the one you loveWith flowers in your hair
I'm alive
I'm alive
I'm alive
Holding times
And holding rhymes
Holding life today
In silent strokes
The river flows like water
Through my veins
A tunnel with a golden light
Is something in your way
I'm alive
I'm alive
You're the prince of the garden
Tie your hair back in a bow
Time to tell someone you love them
The wind is growing cold
Leave the world
That you created
You've got flowers
In your hair
All the ashtrays full
Of blue tears
They're the ones
Who really care...
