Perfect Man
05:25
|

I always pass on cigarettes
but I'll spit my smoke straight into your lungs
my words will pierce so don't forget
your shield–for I tote a loaded gun
you're the perfect man (x3)
in your head
but mister perfect man who are you to judge
when you're livin' life like you're already dead
I was not born just yesterday
so don't you patronize me for the way I look
I ain't no sheep so save your wolf
and I ain't no fish so save your hook
you're the perfect man (x3)
in your head
but mister perfect man who are you to judge
when you're livin' life like you're already dead
the hurt behind your angry eyes
was not my prize so don't you look at me
I hold my hope out for the most
but for your soul I got no sympathy
you're the perfect man (x3)
in your head
but mister perfect man who are you to judge
when you're livin' life like you're already dead
(already dead)
you're the perfect man (x3)
in your head
but mister perfect man who are you to judge
when you're livin' life like you're already dead

Round the Wheel
06:45
|

The tallest matador, my pistol dreams
I'm searching for but can't afford
to ask for more than just another chore
to pay back the score
determined, I am still
I will steal I could kill for every meal
make a deal without feel
as I go 'round the wheel
dare I call this life
much less mine
I'm dead inside
like marks they make to pay the maid
who cleans that shade I hide away
the death of day it is replayed
as colors fade from my display
the second shade of gray
legend sound truly bound
tale on track all o'er the town
for beatin' path I wear the crown
king no thing to show the crowd
nor scrap to feed the hound
dare I call this life
much less mine
I'm dead inside
dare I call this life
much less mine
I'm dead inside
my razor sharp fear is blind
the weakened eyes are tellin' lies
truth disguised from the wise
behind the mask of alibis
this is my tired prize
determined, I am still
I will steal I could kill for every meal
make a deal without feel
as I go 'round the wheel

The mind of the man is sure to grip your hand
and firmly pull your feet out from underneath the shallow sand
keep the layer thin so you can stay within
the times that are a changin' they're crawling on your skin
darkness steals the light
all the time (x3)
darkness steals the light
all the time (x2)
all of the time
all of my friends and even enemies
are trying to keep sane to no avail
all of my friends and even enemies
are trying to keep sane to no avail
wicked through the mist the trails of consciousness
leave the mind to wonder if the mind-it does exist
prints from fingers fade–they're weathered out of date
the record's on display now it's time to walk away
darkness steals the light
all the time (x3)
darkness steals the light
all the time (x2)
all of the time
all of my friends and even enemies
are trying to keep sane to no avail
all of my friends and even enemies
are trying to keep sane to no avail
to no avail

Burning Down
03:40
|

The whole world is burnin'–burnin' down
the whole world is burnin' down
can't you hear the siren sound? (no)
why do we got to die just 'cuz somebody lit the fire
the whole world is burnin'–burnin' down
the whole world is burnin' down
there ain't no fire fighter around (no)
why do we got to die just 'cuz somebody lit the fire
the whole world is burnin'–burnin' down
the whole world is burnin' down
everything is fallin' to the ground (no)
why do we got to die just 'cuz somebody lit the fire
the whole world is burnin'–burnin' down
the whole world is burnin' down
can't you hear the siren sound? (no)
why do we got to die just 'cuz somebody lit the fire
the whole world is burnin'–burnin' down

The War
04:52
|
|||
You sought to tame the beast in me
what a vicious love–you feast for free
I've been bound my my own cord
I fought your battles, in self-distaste
I fight the war
draining trust in your direction
you're just a mirror–oh my reflection
I've been down this range before
I fought your battles, behind my face
I fight the war
mask a lie–you're so polite
to the source, I hold the light
hear the sound of my cell door
I fought your battles, without trace
I fight the war (x4)
hide the noise inside my head
you fight for life now–escape what's dead
sort the wreckage while wrecking more
I fought your battles within the waste
I fight the war (x4)
I hear the bullets whistle past my ear
thank God I learned to leave behind all my fear
I'll catch the next one straight between my teeth
as long as I can keep what's underneath

Locked and Loaded
03:35
|
|||
I've had intuition since I was young
keep my feet off the streets
and stay away from guns
but I never learned from times I was burned
or don't care to notice
that a woman is a weapon
locked and loaded
I've had it bad for such a dangerous one
her kind–so fine
a whole mess of fun
but disguise and shiny lies
conceal her motive
that a woman is a weapon
locked and loaded
(locked and loaded)
now they say a woman
is a delicate thing
she's making honey but I know
that bee is gunna sting
but my lust for her trust
has got me devoted
that a woman is a weapon
locked and loaded
she's locked and loaded
go ahead and shoot me down

Use Your Love
05:03
|
|||
Burn down the border that keeps me at bay
your door had better open, or your wall will be broken
you know that a man like me ain't got too much to lose
my mind gone to trial for obsession with the muse
and I'm askin' you
oh I'm askin' you
to just hear me out
call in your hounds now–they hunt for the kill
they're hot on trail, but my lust is too hot to fail
you know that I'm not alone in achin' from the need
and your fallin' fears give me more reason to believe
oh–let me use your love
no, I can't get enough
I got the sickness and you got the drug
let me use your love
let me use your love cuz you know
yeah you know that I'm gunna use it up
the cold in your soul just leaves me wanting more
of your searing eyes, but they got me paralyzed
you know what there's something more that I can give to you
with just a little kindness we could compromise the truth
oh–let me use your love
no, I can't get enough
I got the sickness and you got the drug
let me use your love
blind to faith and deaf to reason
the habit is much harder
through the change in season
blind to faith and deaf to reason
the habit is much harder
through the change in season
oh–let me use your love
no, I can't get enough
I got the sickness and you got the drug
let me use your love
oh–let me use your love
no, I can't get enough
I got the sickness and you got the drug
let me use your love
let me use your love

Hard Lovin' Body
03:25
|
|||
No, nerves of steel won't fare too well
your electric touch put me under a spell
and when I offered to play real nice
you know I didn't mean this late at night
you ask me what I want, but you know what I need
a soft-hearted woman with a hard lovin' body
eyes of fire in the groove
lit by the spark from the way you move
now I can't get you outta my head
so I'm gunna have to get you into my bed
you ask me what I want, but you know what I need
a soft-hearted woman with a hard lovin' body
found my winning hand in your midnight pose
flip my river card with your forward prose
now you know my luck and how it lies with you
so will I in just a minute or two
you ask me what I want, but you know what I need
a soft-hearted woman with a hard lovin' body
soft-hearted woman, hard lovin' body (x4)

Ain't Seen a Cent
03:27
|

You ain't seen a cent that your daddy earned
you ain't seen a cent that your daddy earned
you ain't seen a cent that your daddy earned
you lost it on the liquor and you never learned
the bitter root gives a sour taste
the bitter root gives a sour taste
the bitter root gives a sour taste
a flavor so familiar but was never faced
your brother brave to swim, but you watched him drown
your brother brave to swim, but you watched him drown
your brother brave to swim, but you watched him drown
you held him underwater just to steal his crown
your lady left you alone for you to be
your lady left you alone for you to be
your lady left you alone for you to be
but a man with many demons doesn't feel free
the past departs–you grip it tighter still
the past departs–you grip it tighter still
the past departs–you grip it tighter still
your future fair, but presently you're losing your will
you ain't seen a cent that your duty earned
you ain't seen a cent that your duty earned
you ain't seen a cent that your duty earned
you lost it on the liquor and you never learned

Locked out to your lonesome and lookin' ashamed
the load of your loss was the courage for gain
the fear of your fate leaves your future unclaimed
that's just how it feels losing the game
the fight for some freedom with fairness on trial
a pulse without pace been dead for awhile
with the lowest of odds you breathe all the same
that's just how it feels losing the game
the dirt of the earth it teaches the worst
the length of your language to silently curse
but the noose–it goes unnoticed through all of your fame
that's just how it feels losing the game
biting your tongue just to know the nerves chime
the ducts in your eyes been dry for a time
but you can't count the tears when you live in the rain
that's just how it feels losing the game
