Look over yonder
what do you see
I used to wander
little girl got a hold on me
I run into battle
and repent my sins
my hands start to rattle
don't know if I can win
Nobody can cut me in half
because her love stops atom bombs
The sun is rising
across the open field
she saved me from dieing
her love is my shield

You know I can't stop when I got the feeling
I'm laying in bed just starring at the ceiling
I know what I need but not how to get it
Time ticking by then I just forget it
Oh my daddy don't look so good
and nothing is running like it should
one of these days and it won't be long
going back to the city and I'll be gone
Now you see me, now you don't
such a feeling, it's how it goes
Sitting on the bottom line I feel fine
All I gotta do is climb
And I know that I can't complain
Because all these people look and act the same
the pressure drops and it's in my bones
my shadow keeps me so I’m never alone

Baby I've been waiting by the phone
wondering where could you be
I don't really wanna be alone
I just want it to be you and me
Your the prettiest thing I ever saw
for that I got no doubt
My wicked ways, you know I'd change them all
for you and only you I'd be about
I don't want to be a stranger
because I come off a little crazy
I won't ever put you in danger
Because every time I think about you I feel like a baby
Darling your the only one I need
I never ever felt this way before
you make me drop all the booze and weed
you give me love and ended the war

No Recess
02:59

I'm out the door and I start to run
I don't know where I come from
they're in the party looking so sorry
and I think that I'm almost done
I don't care what the neighbors say
I really don't care at all
They saying something
but I know it's nothing
Because I know that they want me to fall
No Recess, I know you want to resist
3:46 and I'm about to loose
Nothing to fix or to do
They say I'm crazy but they're just lazy
sometimes you gotta pay your dues
The door is shut and the window locked
I guess I gotta stop
all this frustration and my devastation
Somebody already called a cop

I've been rich, I've been poor, living life just like a war
I say I can take it but I’ll brake under more
exiled from the mainstream, leaving was pretty keen
Theses times are getting tougher, I'm sure you know what I mean
I feel I'm a fire just burning in the sun, ain’t nobody notice me
or see when I'm done
(Keelan)
Three moons ago I was on my way
with some packages of peyote
I woke up in a shady place
with a bottle of jack and Girls next to me
This is my life my one try the harder I live the sooner I die
This is my life my one try the sooner I live the faster I die
Shot dope, crashed cars, but I would never boast
Just singing the blues to myself
No sleep with the ghost again

I am the Mummy Man
03:43
|

All theses oceans of desert painted on the Earth
all my friends are hurt, I've been a prisoner since my birth
There's a girl I know, she set my heart on fire
Now I don't feel the blow, she said “Drew I'm gonna take you higher”
I'm the dog in the pound, I'm your outta tune guitar
I'm that dirty sound you found saying “you won't get far”
I'm not afraid to die so I can be one again
Heaven is not in the sky the kingdom is within
Ain't no surprise I've been hypnotized
when I stare into the Mummy Man's eyes
Lord I crossed the line
Then I begin to realize no one see's when he arrives
Leave me alone I'll be just fine
I put too much substance rite into my head
flirted with insanity in the city of the dead
Now there's all these demons floating over my bed
“Oh dear lord” is all that she said
One thing I want to find, trade in madness for peace of mind
At least I'm never alone, there's always another host
Because even in my home, I'm visited by ghosts

Sweet Nothings

If you wanna mess with my love you can but you better know your messing with fire
And we can go if you want to but know in the end I'm gonna take you higher
Got no job and got no money a smile on my face but it really ain’t funny
can't you see it's an emergency, nobody is gonna save me but me
Your just a big ol bully and nothing you say will ever come true
oh and you better get outta of our way because lord knows there’s nothing you can do
You can throw me in a garbage can, you can leave me on the moon
but you can't stop my ideas, they're coming up too soon

Dark was the night breathing down my neck
blood on the street the sight I'll never forget
blood in my throat, blood in my shoes
there's so much left to loose
cry and wail every time I try and fail
Dark was the sky every time I say good bye
no understanding no matter how hard I try
I can't go home, I can't run away, I got no place to stay
Loneliness grows on me more each day
It's a big take over when you don't come over
and everyeverybody's on their own
It's a big take over when you don't come over and everybody's gone away

Life at the Zoo
03:33
|

Well the sweats burning in my eyes
and I guess that it's no surprise
from walking on the sun
I'm gonna dust my broom and run
But I'm a mess at best
And it's always such a rage
A test for the blessed
living in the static age
The people keep talking all over town
they can't understand me so they'd rather tear me down
Through all this destruction I still care
I took a look at Hell but I was already there
they won't get no reaction or any satisfaction
nothing they can make me do
Ain't no reason to break a sweat
It's just life at the zoo
I'm a fanatical radical
who slipped down through the cracks
they want me to bite the dust
but I'm already on my back
Their words are like bullets
Like drunk crashing gods
how can I see through it
and beat these odds
Take the trigger to pull
because life is still to dull
party away and bury my skull

Tell me where you want to go like you do all the time
Its something that's assured just like the sun will shine
but when I see the storms roll in I hear you breaking down
wailing like a widow or a dog inside the pound
I've been searching high and low even in between
Down to the oceans until rivers turn to streams
but there ain't no happiness for all that you have bought
and there ain't no battles won for all the wars you fought
Maybe on your latest night your life will come undone
Your mirror won't be blurry, you'll think before you run
If there’s anything I could do, lord knows I would help
but I can only feel sorry for you and all the pain you felt

American Babylon
03:05

I understand that your misunderstood
and it's too bad that you're no good
Because when the morning sun comes up you run
you only did what you could
Can there be mercy on mercy
is that even possible at all
because when you lie and break
and you live to take
That's a miserable life I call
Now people they talk and stare
so much I can no longer care
but my love's too strong, I can do no wrong
I already know that life's unfair
And it's always about fortune and fame
Everyone gets caught just playing the game
but my souls insane and I can't complain
I only want my love to remain
Walking down alone, walking down alone again
Look outside what's going on
all my friends have changed or gone
there ain't no hope in tomorrow's dawn
This is American Babylon
and because I drink and smoke
most people just think that I'm a joke
but they’re the one's that creep
and live like sheep, some people just leave me weak
And I'm gunning all the yellow lights
just trying to make things write
run over you I might
Don't care if it's tight
I ain't gonna loose the fight
