Heaven & Hot Rods

You can get it it you really want it
But you better off just leave it alone
You won't forget it if you ever had it
So you're better off just stayin' at home
She walked in with her alligator sister
Tryin' to get to heaven on Sunday
You'll never get it if you never had it
So better off just leave it alone
All the dogs came in just to see her smile
And the dogs came in just to see her smile
Just to see her smile
You don't get it, no, you won't forget
So you're better off just leave it alone
If you don't stop thinkin' soo you will be drinkin'
And you're better off just stayin' at home
And the dogs came in just to see her smile
And the dogs came in just to see her smile
Just to see her smile
Coming down... Mom, I'm still healilng
Coming down... oh, and I'm still breathing
Coming down...

Pruno

Falling downward with a flaming hand
I knew the questions but I lost the answers
I'll hold the world for all
I'll hold it for all
As long as no one asks no questions
I got the message, and the message stood
One, two, three, I got another, got another
One, two, three, I got another, got another
I got another hit that held me the last time
Don't ya know what I mean boys?
One, two, three, I got another, got another
Falling fast but doing all I can
I know the questions but I lost the answers
I got the message, and the message stood
Lease the one who makes it
Profit from the riddle
Always in the middle
Keep the dream alive with sleeping pills you shouldn't fiddle
Lease the one that makes it, profit from the riddle
I got the message but I lost the race

Church On Tuesday

And I don't believe it, is she really gone again?
And I don't believe it, is she really gone again?
I'll find a way to you someday
I'll find a way to you someday
Father's always smokin'
And your mom's at church on Tuesday
And your brother's always drinkin' and dyin'
And I don't believe it, is she really gone again?
And I don't believe it, is she really gone again?

Sour Girl

She turned away, what was she looking at?
She was a sour girl the day that she met me
Hey, what are you looking at?
She was a happy girl the day that she left me
She turned away what was she looking at?
She was a sour girl the day that she met me
Hey, what are you looking at?
She was a happy girl when she left me
What would yo do?
What would you do if I followed you?
What would you do if I follow?
Don't turn away, what are you looking at?
He was so happy on the day that he met her
Say, what are you looking at?
I was Superman but looks are deceiving
The rollercoaster ride's a lonely one
I'd pay a ransom note to stop it from steering
Hey, what are you looking at?
She was a teenage girl when she met me
What would you do?
What would you do if I followed you?
What would you do if I follow?
The girl got reasons, they all got reasons
Hey, what are you looking at?
She was a happy girl the day that she left me
She was a sour girl the day that she met me
The day that she left me

No Way Out

I'm going under, I'm suffocating
Drowning by I'm holding on
What keeps me breathing?
Don't have an answer
Away now, no way out
Away now, no way out
I've been a walkin' a lonesome highway
I felt as though I had no home
My bed's been taken by another
I made the bed, now lie alone
Keep it away now motherfucker, now keep it away
Keep it away now motherfucker, now keep it away
Away now, no way out
Away now, no way outI'm going under, I'm suffocating
Drowning by I'm holding on
What keeps me breathing?
Don't have an answer
Away now, no way out
Away now, no way out
I've been a walkin' a lonesome highway
I felt as though I had no home
My bed's been taken by another
I made the bed, now lie alone
Keep it away now motherfucker, now keep it away
Keep it away now motherfucker, now keep it away
Away now, no way out
Away now, no way out

Sex & Violence

I used to love you now I don't care
Now I turn around, you're everywhere
So you can chew me up and spit me out
You're just the little bitch I cared about
I know you can see me, but you don't believe me
I know that you're lonely
Time will tell and time is hell
No sex or violence, no morbid silence
Forever sleeping, you won't stop breathing
You hold me captive and it's not fair
Progessed insanity is everywhere
You need to love me but you kicked me out
My head is wandering so knock me out
I keep my head afloat I'm drowning in
The muddy water pulls me down again
I used to love me but I hate me now
I'm just a little bitch I cared about

Glide

Torment the tortured, teach me things I'm so alive
Speak to the speechless,
seek the things you have inside
You can hunt for the hunter
He's got nowhere
to hide
You can seek with the seeker
But hold on for the ride
Keep it coming
I'm going all the way
Just give me half a chance
From throwing it all away
Run to
the place that hides the pain you have inside
Cover my chain it hides the strain
only to glide
You can hunt for the hunter
He's got nowhere to hide
You can
seek with the seeker
But hold on for the ride
There is nowhere to turn,
nowhere to run
You can fly with the fader, fly it. Fly it on the run
There is
nowhere to turn to nowhere
There is nowhere to run
You can fly with the fader,
fly it. Fly it on the run
It's too late, the time is gone
Later on again 'cause no
one's leaving
Look away

I Got You

I got you
But it's the craving for the good life
That sees me through the troubled times
When my mind begins to wander to the spoon
And I got you
Because you're there
To bend and nurture me through these troubled times
Cuz the fix begins to twist my troubled mind
And I got you to paint the sorrow on my day
And I got you to paint the roses on my grave
And I got you, I got you
But it's the feeling that I get when you're away
Twist my mind
Cuz when I'm alone and cold, I feel like dyin'
And I got you
To fill the craving that I get inside my mind
When you're there
To fill the space I have inside, I feel like cryin'
And I got you to paint the sorrow on my day
And I got you to paint the roses on my grave
And I got you
All the slippin' that I slap me
I got you, I got you
All the slippin' that I slap me

MC5

No you don't get it, no you don't want it
No you don't get it, no
No you don't get it, no you don't want it
No you don't get it, no
She don't like the way she smiles
He don't like the way she smiles
Son of a bitch, I know what the itch is like
You won't get enough, try to get rid of it
But you won't, you can't, you won't get enough
She don't like the way she smiles
(don't want you)
He don't like the way she smiles
(don't need you)
She don't like the way she smiles
(can't have you)
He don't like the way she smiles
(I want)
No you don't get it, you'll never get it
No you don't get it, I want to see through you
No you don't get it, you'll never get it
No you don't get it, I want to see through you
Now!

Atlanta

She lives in a bungalow
She kills me with rose garden thornes
She waits for me
My love is unusual
It's painted with roses and thornes
With her I'm complete
She lives by the wall and waits by the door
She walks in the sun to me
She lives by the wall waits by the door
She walks in the sun to me
Visions of Mexico seduce me
It goes to my head so carefully
Memories of candles and incense
And all of these things remember these?
She comforst me when the candles blow out
The cakes has grown mold but the memories are sweet
The laughter's all gone
But the memories are mine
The Mexican princess is out of my life...
