Greenwich Dives
03:34
|
|||
Soon as the train arrived
Straight to the Greenwich dives
Living it up untouched
By the teeth, and the bad vibes
Finally found my home
Finally found my guy
Living it up, proud enough
To dance cheek to cheek
Cheek to cheek
Lets try and find a way, to live again
Lets try and find a way, come on, to live again
Days we made the bed
Days we danced with death
Darkness came so quick
One night, you were sick
Asking man what’s the crime
Ain't love, God’s design?
Darkness came so quick
Like a plague, we got hit
Lets try and find a way, to live again
Lets try and find a way, come on, to live again
In the days of love and in the days of learning
I remember it well
In the days of sex and in the days of dancing
I remember it well
In the days gone by, we found pleasure, in our pride
Breaking out the chains I wouldn’t trade for anything
Goodbye, goodbye
Lets try and find a way, to live again
Lets try and find a way, come on, to live again

Firefly

Artists, believers,
That’s us, on the magic bus
Smoking, I’m choking
Breaking up, on the magic bus
Slow down if you’re seeing the faces in the fire
Creepy, creepy is the magic bus
We’re breaking up
It’s just us, and the
Fireflies, in the, darkest night
Like a divine guide to all, that I want to be
I saw, fireflies, in the, darkest night
Like a divine guide to all, that I want to be
Shooters, cruisers, that’s us
On the magic bus
Freaking, feeling the world around us
Getting up
Tricky are the maps on the magic bus
Bumpy are the roads ahead of us
Let it bump
Let it bump, into the stratosphere, yea we’re weird but there’s nothing to fear, just a bunch of dopey dogs, don’t you know?
It’s just us, and the
Fireflies, in the, darkest night
Like a divine guide to all, that I want to be
I saw, fireflies, in the, darkest night
Like a divine guide to all, that I want to be

Neon lovers on I-95
Getting high
Wearing t’s man it’s 85
What a life
In the Miami Night
In the Miami Night
In the Miami Night
In the Miami Night
Hialeah to Ocean Drive
Ride or die
I must admit man we do it right
305
In the Miami Night
In the Miami Night
In the Miami Night
In the Miami Night
Bathroom lines, two at a time
What’s to hide?
Highs crash into the sunrise
Immortalized
In the Miami Night
In the Miami Night
In the Miami Night
In the Miami Night

To the people, we are devoted
To the mothers, we show devotion
In the human revolution

Because the funk is the people’s bread
The funk is the people’s bread
The funk is the people’s bread
The funk! The bread!
To the fighters, we’re at your service
Girls and women, that means you
In the human revolution

Because the funk is the people’s bread
The funk is the people’s bread
The funk is the people’s bread
The funk! The bread!

Jesus Freak
02:33
|

Jesus freak mama, Jesus freak pa
I got a Jesus freak brother
And I’m a freak to them all
Jesus freak mama, Jesus freak pa
I got a Jesus freak brother
And I’m a freak to them all
Oklahoma city, 1980
Papa preaching fire and brimstone on the mount
Hell, wrath, repentance
I felt no fire
I said Jesus, wouldn’t have it that way
I said Jesus, wouldn’t have it that way
Jesus freak mama, Jesus freak pa
I got a Jesus freak brother
And I’m a freak to them all
Of course I rebelled
What was I supposed to do?
Running wild was a cry for help
A cry for truth
I said Jesus, wouldn’t have it that way
I said Jesus, wouldn’t have it that way
Jesus freak mama, Jesus freak pa
I got a Jesus freak brother
And I’m a freak to them all
Jesus freak mama, Jesus freak pa
I got a Jesus freak brother
And I’m a freak to them all
Take me away

Lion Tamer
03:08
|

Every night I love you darling
Every day I miss you
Every moment comes so sweetly
Every moment with you
All of my days, all of my nights
Missing you, missing you my love
In the forlorn afternoons I,
Hear the thunder
In my head the clouds descend and
Rain forever
All of my days, all of my nights
Missing you, missing you my love
All of my days, all of my nights
Missing you, missing you my love
The lion, inside you, roars for a better man
The tamer, respects, what he can and cannot have
Lion of mine (repeats until end)

Right!
02:00
|
|||
In the winter where the devil dwells, right? Right!
It looks like heaven but it feels like hell, right? Right!
They say, do what you can
But I’m a left, left handed man
Right? Right!
I bought a soul off the internet, right? Right!
It just looks like a dog chomped on it, right? Right!
They say, do what you can
But I’m a left, left handed man
right? Right!
I need bubble, gum and booze, right? Right!
Whatever gets me through, right? Right!
Through, through to you
Through, through to you

The Shame
03:21
|
|||
I’m all about it now, why?
Because god is on my side, why?
Well I’m in deep deep trouble, why?
Because god told me so, why?
He’s in the background singing, why?
Are you so gullible?
I’m a sinner tonight
I can’t help walkin the line
Save me from the flames
I swear I won’t do it again
Save me from myself
Because the shame keeps walking on me
It’s all a mystery, why?
He keeps forgiving me, why?
I know I’ve hustled people, why?
They’ve hustled me, why?
And we all keep walking the line
Save me from the flames
I swear I won’t do it again
Save me from myself
Because the shame keeps walking on me
Save me from the flames
I swear I won’t do it again
Save me from myself
Because the shame keeps walking on me
When I’m getting high
On me when I’m going, out at night
On me when I need a light
Because the shame, the shame keeps walking on me
(repeats until end)

Sweetest Kiss
03:11
|
|||
Girl of mine, I’m so shy
You got me working overtime
For what, a touch?
That’s just not enough
Miss beautiful, you’re too cool
To love a man who’s vulnerable
So what? I blush
Is love not enough?
So stand up
And show me! Your sweetest kiss
Don’t tell me, you can kiss like this
Aw show me, you’re sweetest kiss
Don’t tell me, you can kiss like this
You’re mighty fine, I’m too kind
Is it just, not worth trying?
To talk it out, just us, on the couch
Miss self-aware, you’re too scared
To have a hand run through your hair
And feel the rush, that electric touch
I’m talking bout lips, tongue
Trading, gum
Real real girls, come on, don’t be shy
And show me! Your sweetest kiss
Don’t tell me, you can kiss like this
Aw show me, you’re sweetest kiss
Don’t tell me, you can kiss like this
Will all the people, clap your hands?
All the people, clap your hands
(repeats until end)

Proud of That
02:52
|
|||
I feel like, I just need a shoulder
Someone who can be there when
I’m crying
I just feel, like I need someone
To be there when I’m sad
Holding on to what we’ve got
Is just bad
What I need, is what we had in the beginning
Nothing much to talk about, just living
But I’m proud of how it all went down
I’m proud we’re not dragging it, to the ground
Remember the scene when the night seemed to sing
Stop cuz your man’s on fire!
Singing for the people who do, what feels right
But what’s changed? It’s all a game we decide
To play, we go or we stay
I just hope, you find your way, back home
Stop cuz your man’s on fire!
I got you, stuck in my heart but I refuse
To let you go
I got you, stuck in my heart but I refuse
To let you go
I got you, stuck in my heart but I refuse
To let you go

Sunnyside
02:57

Sunnyside, downtown child you’ll find me, smiling
Head in the sugar of my lollipop pop pop, pop
Sunnyside, downtown mama you’ll find me, driving
Blasting AC in my truck truck truck truck, truck
Nowhere to go it’s a small town, and I’m broke
Who’s writing me love letters, when my heart is a mess?
Who’s writing me love letters, when my heart is a mess?
My heart is a mess my my my heart is a mess
My heart is a mess, my heart is such a mess!
Sunnyside, downtown child you’ll find me, grinding
Slicing up pies for the tourists in the big brown hats, hats
Nowhere to go nothing to do it’s a small town and I’m broke,
Damn!
Who’s writing me love letters, when my heart is a mess?
Who’s writing me love letters, when my heart is a mess?
My heart is a mess my my my heart is a mess
My heart is a mess, my heart is such a mess!
Do you know what it means to live in a small town nowhere to go nothing to do no money at all? Do you know what Americans live through, on a day to day basis? Do you even care?
Sunnyside, built to survive
Sunnyside, built to survive
I’m built to survive, built to survive
Sunnyside, built! To survive

Life of Dogs
02:56
|

Up at 5, do or die
Suicides in the sunrise
9am, I’m at it again
What’s the difference between me and them?
That’s the life of dogs
That’s the life of dogs
Yea we ripping it up
That’s the life of dogs
No we ain’t giving it up, ain’t giving it up
2 o clock, I’m breaking rocks
Not gonna stop till I get my shot
9 at night, I’m still in this fight
In my head the crowds ignite
That’s the life of dogs
That’s the life of dogs
Yea we ripping it up
That’s the life of dogs
No we ain’t giving it up, ain’t giving it up
In the dog you find the hero
In the fight you find the man
(repeats through final chorus)
That’s the life of dogs
That’s the life of dogs
Yea we ripping it up
That’s the life of dogs
No we ain’t giving it up, ain’t giving it up
