Old Time Religion
06:36
|
|||
[CHORUS]
Give me that old time religion
the kind that I really need
to be a home with my family
the place where we all believe
and if you're feeling afraid
not sure how much you can take
the tears that nobody sees
feels like you're ready to break
[VS 1]
The fall will always come
right after the pride
and so you sink to the bottom
wait for the tears to subside
the draw down the blinds when you hide
sleep with your guns by your side
but don't you forget you're a royal flush
held closely on the sly
[CHORUS]
Give me that old time religion
the kind that I really need
to be a home with my family
the place where we all believe
and if you're feeling afraid
not sure how much you can take
the tears that nobody sees
feels like you're ready to break
[VS 2]
Stiff drink first thing in the morning
the sunlight has lost all appeal
I find my comfort in darkness
and I run from talk that gets real
spend all my dollars for nothing
forced to beg borrow and steal
but you lay your cards on the table and
I'll shuffle cut and deal
[CHORUS]
Give me that old time religion
the kind that I really need
to be a home with my family
the place where we all believe
and if you're feeling afraid
not sure how much you can take
the tears that nobody sees
feels like you're ready to break
[VS 3]
I thought by now I'd be happy
pretending everything is great
white picket fences and dinner parties
a white collar job that you hate
red in the face with frustration
keeps getting worse every day
but when you feel like all hope is lost
live to fight another day
So give me that old time religion
give me that old time religion
give me that old time religion

Midnight Hour
06:16
|
|||
Little bottle on the shelf, lately been calling out your name
scissors cutting deep into try to take away the pain
it’s a tunnel vision focus always taking on the blame
you can't kick it from your mind, It's driving you bat shit insane...
But every junkie, must have a supplier
and every soul wants, to fly a bit higher
in every moment, burning desire
and every second, it'd a constant reminder
I’ll be there when you need me anytime you can call me in the midnight hour
I’ll be there when you need me anytime you can call me in the midnight hour
Got your headphones on to tune them out your face up to the sky
And the talking always seems to start the moment you walk by
Got your aviator shades to hide you blood red punched out eyes
Its just easier they always seem to love it when you cry
But every tear must, start with a cryer
and every rumor, starts with a liar
and every judge holds, a gavel beside her
As God as my, I’m your testifier
I’ll be there when you need me anytime you can call me in the midnight hour
I’ll be there when you need me anytime you can call me in the midnight hour
When your back is against that wall, I won’t let you fall, cause' you’re mine
I’ll be there when you need me anytime you can call me in the midnight hour
Doctor said it isn't good, and that you’re running out of time
cancer spreading diagnosis says its no longer benign
Getting down on upon your knees and you're hope and praying for a sign
Asking for a little miracle to happen, not ready yet to die...
But every battle, starts with a fighter
and every fire, starts with a lighter
and every soldier, is gunnin' for hire
to come with a quickness rescue when it's dire...
I’ll be there when you need me anytime you can call me in the midnight hour
I’ll be there when you need me anytime you can call me in the midnight hour
When your back is against that wall, I won’t let you fall, cause' you’re mine
I’ll be there when you need me anytime you can call me in the midnight hour

The Other Side
05:13
|
|||
Come along step right this way
Don't watch my hands just listen what I say
The salesman, is not your friend
American dream wasn't what you thought
already borrowed, traded, sold and bought
it's slavery we're living in
I blame the leadership the ones in charge
these are the criminals remain at large
their actions we can't defend
All is destroyed before my weeping eyes
it's hard to tell the truth when all we hear are lies
again and again and again and again
There's a fire coming
gonna make you answer for your lies
from the other side there's no place that you can run
and there's no place to hide
We the people voiced our discontent
RSVP no we will not attend
no game here, it's not pretend
You chose the oil and your corporate greed
instead of helping those in desperate need
how is this the great again?
Wake to the news what did he say last night
cause your offended doesn't mean you're right
we're left here, scratching heads
Ask for forgiveness now it's you repent
for all the people you misrepresent
again and again and again and again and again
There's a fire coming
gonna make you answer for your lies
from the other side there's no place that you can run
and there's no place to hide
Cause what goes around
comes back around
to haunt you...
Around and round and round and round and round and round
what goes round comes around.

Nothing Comes For Free
04:36
|
|||
It's getting hot, the temperature's a rising
Tempers flaring everywhere I see
Fisticuffs, ready for the flying
Locked up jaw and fiery eyes as cold as steel
It gives me pause, what's with all the anger?
When we've got it so much better than we think
You get down to the root, the cold hard truth
We know, that nothing comes for free
Whoa… yes we know that nothing comes for free
Far away, for pennies on the dollar
Sewing day and night at the machine
Such a shame, in a world with so money
but still can’t afford to feed the family
But go ahead and live it up forever
Someone’s gotta pay eventually
And even though you do and always knew and know
That nothing comes for free
Decked in Gucci, the first class martinis
In the high life, the models in bikinis
Always gravitated to the finer things
But an empty hole is left where all the happiness should be
Never known a life apart from privilege
entire generation fast asleep
Eyes dart down, as through the streets they walking
Swiping iPhones, marching orders for the sheep
you’re obsessed with houses cars and money
But it doesn’t now, and never grew on trees
and from that lofty view, afforded you
you know that nothing comes for free
Lavish Parties, a who's who at the mansion
Still discussing the westward expansion
Clinking raise your glass to friends and fellow kin
Well somebody’s gotta lose, if we only ever win
So one day, the shit will hit the fan
Kick the can as history repeats
And if I were you I’d run now too
Cause we know that nothing comes for free
Whoa… yes we know that nothing comes for free
Whoa... yes we know that nothing comes for free

Daydream
04:22
|

Lady, cant you see I'm in love with you
Lately, the only thing on my mind is you
Cause I didn't know, I didn't know
anyone could make me lose control and
I didn't know, I didn't know
anyone could be so sweet and
darling you call me name call it loud
darling you it's not the same when you're not round
how do I make you mine?
Maybe, a girl like you could like a guy like me
daydream, of dancing close with you cheek to cheek
Cause I didn't know, I didn't know
anyone could make me lose control and
I didn't know, I didn't know
anyone could be so sweet and
darling you call me name call it loud
darling you it's not the same when you're not round
how do I make you mine?
How do I make you mine?
How do I make you mine?
How do I make you mine?
How do I make you mine?
What's this I see, she's coming to me
and now I am the happiest man around!
The luckiest man around
The luckiest man around

Family
04:23
|

Ever since you were a little one
no-one would come to rescue you
Asking why was I left behind
an afterthought, a nevermind
But I don't think you understand
just how lovely you are.
You could be the fullest moon above
and still you'd long to be a shooting star
Woke last night from a deepest sleep
and I jumped up cold sweat from the dream
beside the bed there I placed my feet
and wrote it down still half asleep
Like nothing that I've ever seen
A glowing radiant gold and green
An angel came and sweetly sang to me
a melody and like a bell it rings...
We need family, we need family
if you don't think so then I kindly disagree
We need family we need family
if you don't have one you can be in one with me
Will I be found among the flowers
or briars brambles thorns and weeds
I hope someday they stumble on my grave
in peace I'll lay and there you'll see
an epitaph upon which simply reads...
We need family, we need family
if you don't think so then I kindly disagree
We need family we need family
if you don't have one you can be in one with me
if you don't have one you can be in one with me
if you don't have one you can be in one with me

Jump The Gun
03:55
|

A table for one with drinks for two
second guessing every move
Like a fool I try to hard
She says “It’s me, it isn’t you”
Easy out for you to choose
a silver plate my offered heart
I don’t know if you want me to stay
I don’t know if you want me to stay
I don’t know if you want me to stay
I can’t keep on going with this cheap charade
I’m singing…
Stop! just what you’re doing
You been stringing me along
ever since when we begun, and I say
Stop! just what you’re doing
Don’t jump jump jump the gun
please don’t jump jump jump the gun
and say we’re done
Spinning out your tangled web
Rumours he said she said spread
seems I’m always last to know /
Straight to voicemail inbox full
Mixed up signals, wires crossed
Girl right next to you I feel so all alone
I don’t know if you want me to stay
I don’t know if you want me to stay
I don’t know if you want me to stay
I can’t keep on going with this cheap charade
I’m singing…
Stop! just what you’re doing
You been stringing me along
ever since when we begun, and I say
Stop! just what you’re doing
Don’t jump jump jump the gun
please don’t jump jump jump the gun
and say we’re done
I don’t know if you want me to stay
I don’t know if you want me to stay
I don’t know if you want me to stay
I can’t keep on going with this cheap charade
I’m singing…
Stop! just what you’re doing
You been stringing me along
ever since when we begun, and I say
Stop! just what you’re doing
Don’t jump jump jump the gun
please don’t jump jump jump the gun
and say we’re done

Going Home Again
02:54
|

Going home again
Going home again
I’ve been gone way too long I’m going home again
In my time spent locked away
I’d write home most every day
Free at last and here to stay
I’m going home again
Sorrows gone again,
Sorrows gone again,
Done my crime and served my time my sorrows gone again
Dreamed one day when I’d get out
You and me would paint this town
four white walls in which I drowned
my sorrows gone again
Getting stoned again
Getting stoned again
Free to stay and drift away I’m getting stoned again
And we’ll all be feelin’ fine
sipping whiskey, bourbon and wine
to be with my kin and kind I’m going home again
My sorrows gone again
Getting stoned again
I’m going home again!

Mind Reader

Take a spell, leave your blanket on the beach
we don't need to worry about a thing
you and me, been together long long time
I'm so glad that I am yours and you are mine
yes we’re on our way
we don’t need no words to say
we can read each other’s minds
I can read yours and you can read mine
In our minds summer’s always within reach
so we don't have to worry about a thing
you and me been together long long time
I’m so glad that I am yours and you are mine
Yes we're on our way
We don't need to words to say
We can read each other's minds
And I can read yours
And you can read mine

Can't Get Over You
04:54
|
|||
Can’t get over you
Can’t get over you
Can’t get over you
So I guess I’ll just have to go around
Never thought in the whole wide world
that I would ever find a girl
That would be so perfectly
matched in heaven and forged in destiny
And aint It a mystery
how we grew and came to be
I tell you honestly I love you madly and would you say I do
Don’t you worry, everything’s gonna be alright
Don’t go crazy it’s alway darkest before the light
That’s why I’m still right next to you
Moving silently
on the banks of the rolling sea
Waves lapping quietly
and it lulls us until we fall asleep
So I hold you in my arms
gonna keep you safe and warm
never let harm come to you
be your shelter when life will bring the storm
Don’t you worry, everything’s gonna be alright
Don’t go crazy it’s alway darkest before the light
That’s why I’m still right next to you
You look so cute when you sleep, Baby
I’d stare at you for a week or maybe more
Don't say and word you don't speak, Baby
Finish my sentence for me, honey
I get so weak in the knees, baby
every time I hear you speak oh you,
expanded my whole wide world
When destiny walked up to me
When destiny walked up to me
When destiny walked up to me

Dancing In The Rain
06:18
|
|||
Punch the wheel another hour jammed in traffic
window stuck got some ketchup on your tie
old acquaintance stops to ask you how your doing
you say you’re great but don’t know why you lie
Everybody always leaving for the weekend
you’re the only one been working way too hard
when you reach your destination every Friday
You drink the bread you earned up at the bar
And all I ever wanted from you
Was dancing in the rain
And all I ever wanted from you
Was dancing in the rain
Maybe there’s a better life out in the deep end
maybe you could be a painter on the side
double agent on a super secret mission
or a rock star singer famous far and wide
And all I ever wanted from you
Was dancing in the rain
And all I ever wanted from you
Was dancing in the rain
Find it is your song
find it in your heart
to sing along, sing along
we’re all friends here
nothing for you to fear
so sing along, sing along
just let it roar
just let it roar
Now you understand the moral of the story
live, love and conquer all that which divides
Mother Nature doesn't wait around for no-one
So live it up while you still have the time
And all I ever wanted from you
Was dancing in the rain
And all I ever wanted from you
Was dancing in the rain
