1. Livin' on Luck

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 Itch

Oh did you ever think you'd satisfy that itch
Cause it's eatin' at your mind
You need it all the time
Beggin' on account of your fix
Oh did you ever think you'd satisfy that itch
You're crawlin' on the sand
With your face in hand
Rummage through the trash of your life
Wipin' off a page
Just to read all the hate
Givin' up the hope to survive
Lady, don't you call yourself my mother
I've been runnin' all my life
To find why
Oh did you ever think you'd satisfy that itch
Cause it's eatin' at your mind
You need it all the time
Beggin' on account of your fix
Did you ever think you'd satisfy that itch
Did you ever think you'd satisfy that itch
Cause it's eatin' at your mind
You need it all the time
Beggin' on account of your fix
Did you ever think you'd satisfy that itch




4. My World War

Sister told me
I've been brain dead
Lost my home
That's a drag
I can see the only way to hurt you
Taking me to toy a life of virtue
I can feel it
Burning like from under
I can feel it
Burning from within
Trip my switchblade
Shine my steel plate
Save my life from revenge
I can breathe
A cold to make a thunder
I believe
My soul is infrared
I can feel it
Burning like from under
I can feel it
Burning from within
Every nightmare haunts your bed
The only place you're safe from dead
So help me god I'm comin' back
.....Portland, Oregon
Yet another victim of this heinous trail of street violence takes a fall as the
townspeople cry for more police officers and stronger law enforcement agents to
man the streets of a town where violence and crime have taken its toll...
I can feel
The world is crawling under
I can free
The world of my kind
It's my joke
I am your public enemy
I can feel it
Our world war
Victim's hosst hope
Vendors sell dope
Save my whole human race
If you bleed
You're only for surrender
I can feel
My soul is infrared
I can feel
It lying like your brother
I can see it
Squash you like a bug
Every nightmare haunts your bed
The only place you're safe from dead
So help me god I'm comin' back
I can feel
The world is crawling under
I can free
The world of my kind
It's my joke
I am your public enemy
I can feel it
Our world war
I can feel
The world is crawling under
I can free
The world of my kind
It's my joke
I am your public enemy
I can feel it
Our world war




5. Where Their Children Play

Seven years ago
This old man said to me
Sittin' on his haunches
He's tellin' me to get a life
Now, money in a jar
Never got him far
But his story is heavier
Than you'll ever know
He said "live for me and die for me
And my miracles will set you free"
But I said no
I don't play that devils lie
Yea...set a road in the garden
Pulled the sword from the stone
And the water you're walkin' on
Has got me thinkin'
I've been all wrong
And I've been readin' the story
While I'm wastin' the years
And I've been runnin' with some bad brothers
That've been tryin' to rip my bloody tears
The stage was black
Lights we feared
Your limbs like a puppet
?These are scars of the years
It's a sexual feeling
It's the root that stresses your brain
Livin' on the threshold of evil
And you're tryin' to trip on morphine
On the corner of Phoenix
On the cross of gold bridge
Tryin' to change your life for the better
Gotta cross the bridge
I gotta cross the bridge
The stage was black
Lights we feared
Your limbs like a puppet
These are scars of the years
Tied in ropes to keep you home
Building walls to keep you away
cables connect
There's nails to mend
But what mends the heart
Where their children play
Set a road in the garden
Pulled the sword from the stone
And the water you're walkin' on
Has got me thinkin' I've been
Got me thinking' I've been
The stage was black
Lights we feared
Your limbs like a puppet
These are scars of the years
Tied in ropes to keep you home
Building walls to keep you away
Cables connect
There's nails to mend
But what mends the heart
Where their children play
Tied in ropes to keep you home
Building walls to keep you away
Caables connect
There's nails to mend
But what mends the heart
Where their children play




6. Yesterday

Yesterday's charade
Made us all kneel down and pray
And we thought about
The way we had it made
Yesterday's hoorays
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 yesterday
Silence writes a page
In a diary I once made
But I don't care
Who can read it anymore
I try to run
Try to run back now
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 the secrets that I keep
In 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 again
I try to dream
But I'm all dreamt out
I try to sleep
But I just can't fake it
All the doors that lead
Have opened paths to yesterday
Yesterday's charade
Made us all kneel down and pray
And we thought about the way we had it made




7. Rebel Yell

Last night a little dancer came dancin' to my door
Last night a little angel came pumping on the floor
She said, "Come on baby I got a license for love,
And if it expires pray help from above!"

In the midnight hour she cried, "More more more!"
With a rebel yell she cried, "More more more!"
In the midnight hour babe, "More more more!"
With a rebel yell, "More more more!"
"More, more, more!"

She don't like slavery, she won't sit and beg
But when I'm tired and lonely she sees me to bed
What set you free and brought you to me, babe
What sets you free I need you hear by me
Because

In the midnight hour she cried, "More more more!"
With a rebel yell she cried, "More more more!"
In the midnight hour babe, "More more more!"
With a rebel yell, "More more more!"

He lives in his own heaven
Collects it to go from the seven eleven
Well he's out all night to collect a fare
Just so long, just so long
It don't mess up his hair.

I walked the ward with you, babe
A thousand miles with you
I dried your tears of pain, babe
A million times for you.

I'd sell my soul for you, babe
For money to burn for you
I'd give you all, and have none, babe
Justa, justa, justa, justa to have you here by me

Because
In the midnight hour she cried, "More more more!"
With a rebel yell she cried, "More more more!"
In the midnight hour babe, "More more more!"
With a rebel yell, "More more more!"

Oh yeah little baby
She want more
More more more more more!

Oh yeah little angel
She want more
More more more more more!




8. 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




9. Hunting

You booked us a flight
You took us for free
You got us to sign
Intelligence played on me
Don't care if we die
Your money is king
You never grew up
And you're wondering where's your sanity
Stop playin' the song
Cause all your friends are all gone
You're dying to see me give up
My life is a trip on a carnival ride
You're dying to see me get out
Get out...I'm hunting for you
You painted us gold
And rotted to rust
Our innocence left
When you tried to betray our trust
Inadequate time
When time was for us
You stood in the way
Of the path
Of a long waited destiny
Stop playin' the song
Cause all your friends are gone
You're dying to see me give up
My life is a trip on a carnival ride
You're dying to see me get out
Get out...I'm hunting for you
You're trying to break me
You're trying to crack
I'm tired of breakin' my balls
Your promise is breaking
It's nothin' but words
I'm tired and sick of it all
You're dying to see me give up
My life is a trip on a carnival ride
You're dying to see me get out
Get out...I'm hunting for you




10. Save Me

One of these days
You'll feel your world collide
Strip your life of all the hate inside
In the garden of Eden
In a world turned black
Erase the damned
That make my mind from turning black
In the nights between us
Let the light turn green
I'll fight the world
And keep my pride and self-esteem
In a temple I've seen her
In a robe of white
She reached a hand to help me
Focus in my sight
Wrapped in the mirror
On the cover of life
I saw the heart that burns
To follow in her light
Oh...yea, yea, no one can save me
Oh...yea, yea no one can save us now
In the shadows of millions
Like a test of fate
I reached the boundaries of imaginations gate
Paralyzed a kingdom
With a world of chance
I taste the ashes of my father
In my dance
Oh...yea, yea no one can save me
oh...yea, yea no one can save us now
Holy winds have come and cleansed me now
Home is haunted
I'm in spirit
Oh...yea, yea, no one can save me
Oh...yea, yea
Oh...yea, yea, no one can save me
Oh...yea, yea, no one can save us now




11. Mr. Right

She's the one that made me change
Blind in love it feeds my brain
I don't belong
I can't convince myself of this
Alone you walk all over my heart
And rip my soul of every part
I'm like a dog
You left me to die in the alley of my home
Away from home
You're beggin' for riotousness
I beg to feed it
Iyr faith so blind
So close to fake
We'll need to seize
To heal an old disease
I could be wrong this time
But I know in my soul that a cold war
Is one bitter pill
A sandstone wall
In the last four hours of light
You wanna leave another city behind
Your bags are gettin' heavy
You can't believe you couldn't charm Mr. Right
You let your ego get away
Holdin' a dream
You spilled it out on the line
You wannna leave another city behind
Your bags are gettin' heavy
You can't believe
You couldn't charm Mr. Right
You let your ego get away
Holdin' a dream
You spilled it out on the line
