These Days a Dollar
I have taken a ride on this merry go round
I’m on a road to a shoebox 6 feet in the ground
Without a doubt
there are things that we don’t talk about
This is a habit
This is you letting me down
I don’t know where we’re going
I can’t stand where we are
Just give me the keys, just get in the car
Just give me the keys, just get in the car
These days a dollar doesn’t take you very far
Just give me the keys, just get in the car
Where are you going baby? What did I do?
I’m not aware of what I put you through
Understand that this world has demands
I gave you wish
It never came true
When you’re left to your own devices
You’ll know who you are
Just give me the keys, just get in the car
Just give me the keys, just get in the car
These days a dollar doesn’t take you very far
Just give me the keys, just get in the car
What You See Is What You Get
I was lost
Alone without you
I don’t stand a chance
I’ve abused myself in a reckless romance
I had a gift
A weight I could lift
I used to make you laugh
For better or worse
You were my better half
I’m not exactly who you want me to be
This might be the mess that we’ve made
It’s only love it will fade
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
What you see is what you get
I tried to forget
I woke up in flames
I’m afraid this trap is what we’ve became
I’ve had enough
I tried to let go
You’re the heat in my heart
You’re the tips of my toes
I’m not exactly who you want me to be
It’s not your fault so don’t be afraid
It’s only love it will fade
All I wanted was you
All I wanted was you
What you see is what you get
She said “Anything can happen but there’s no guarantees.”
The Price Tag On My Soul
I was born with bloodshot eyes
I’m dimming hopes and destroying lives
I can’t stop
I’ve cashed
I’m out of control
I should hang a price tag on the soul
I punished my parents
I got my revenge
I’ll stick a knife in your back to impress my friends
I’m high fidelity
I’m Rock n Roll
I should hang a price tag on my soul
It’s ordinary for a social parasite
All my heroes let me down
They stole all my energy
If there’s one thing in this life that’s guaranteed
I’m Free
It’s enough to make you sick
I’m a walk on roll in a horror flick
I’m desperately in need of a miracle
I should hang a price tag on my soul
Ambulance Chaser
I’m an ambulance chaser
I got my hand in the till
I’ll tell you just how much I love you
When nobody else will
I got all kind of stories
I can show you some scars
Take hold of this pistol
We’ll shoot holes in the stars
Baby don’t ask me where I’ve been
I’m just an accident waiting to happen
No you can’t be
Everything to everybody - All the time
Death traps pass like bullets
On a crooked street
I’ve made an art out of moving the sidewalk
Just like a staggered heartbeat
I’ve cheated myself
I’ve made my own trap
And just like a hand grenade
I’ll go off in your lapBaby don’t ask me where I’ve been
If you take off your clothes
I’ll take off my skin
No you can’t be
Everything to everybody - All the time
You’ve taken me out of the city
But you can’t take the city out of me
Gimmie Gimmie
Gimmie, Gimmie
Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie
You looking for something?
It’s here in my arms
Why bother? It doesn’t matter
You know me better than I know myself
You said it - I didn’t get it
I can’t forget it if it’s bad for my health
You’re a blue eyed trap and I’m an easy target
This is true
Here’s what were gonna do
It’s not much but it’s all that I Got, It’s all that I got.
And no one’s gonna take it from me
I just want another chance to give it to you
Tomorrow? Forever?
Whatever have you lost your mind?
Start over? Together?
Move forward or get left behind
You’re a blue eyed crutch
And I’m a heartless hole that you fell through
Here’s what were gonna do
It’s not much but it’s all that I Got, It’s all that I got.
And no one’s gonna take it from me
I just want another chance to give it to you
Gimmie, Gimmie, Gimmie
You looking for something?
It’s here in my arms
Make My Telephone Ring
If you need someone to talk to
You can call me anytime
If you need a strong hand you can hold onto
You can take a hold of mine
When you’re miles and miles from your warm safe bed
When you get the feeling like you’re out of your head
Don’t hesitate to call me if you need anything
Just make my telephone ring
My, my, my, you’re a spider I’m a fly
And I guess we’ve gown apart
If you’re wondering why I let go
I’m surprised you don’t know
That we were fucked from the start
Your cold hands are always welcome under my shirt
Baby maybe we should stop before someone gets hurt
Don’t hesitate to call me if you need anything
Just make my telephone ring
I would do anything
Come on end my suffering
The Great Big Bum
Starting over it’s easy to do
If I do everything you want me to do
You got a problem? The problem is you
You’re the one I belong to
What are we gonna do?
I’m an insect in your flame
A photograph without a frame
And what do I get in return?
It’s all been a great big burn
This bowl of cherries is bringing me down
Somebody get me off of this merry ground
I’m inside out I’m upside down
Since the moment I found you
What are we gonna do?
I’m an insect in your flame
You shared my bed you said my name
And what do I get in return?
It’s all been a great big burn
My sight for sore eyes
My partner in crime
My witness
My only weakness
I’ve done my time
I’m an insect in your flame
You shared my bed you said my name
And what do I get in return?
It’s all been a great big burn
Borrowed Time
I’ve come clean
I’ve confessed
I’ve got it off my chest
I’ve entered a contest
Where no one wins
No sugar
No sunshine
You’re leaving me behind
You’ll always be under my skin
You haven’t heard a word I’ve said
If you want to leave me go ahead
I’d rather sleep in an empty bed
Than behind a veil of lies
I’m on your list of forgotten lovers
Just a failure like all the others
Every time I see you a piece of me dies
Baby this is goodbye
This is goodbye
You’ve loved me
You’ve used me
Controlled me
Confused me
You like to abuse me
I’ve lost my mind
You’re lightning
You’re thunder
The black cloud I’m under
I’m living on borrowed time
You haven’t heard a word I’ve said
I wonder what goes on inside your head
I’d rather sleep in an empty bed
Than behind a veil of lies
I’m on your list of forgotten lovers
Just a failure like all the others
Every time I see you a piece of me dies
Baby this is goodbye
This is goodbye
You planned your escape before you arrived
I’m on your list of forgotten lovers
Just a failure like all the others
Every time I see you a piece of me dies
Baby this is goodbye
This is goodbye
An Obvious Noise
I know that a God exists
‘Cause I can’t resist all these obstacles that he puts in my way
It’s hard not to recognize
I’ve tried to apologize but who knows where to send this bouquet
Heartbreaker
Heartbreaker
You’ve made an obvious noise
Who says I can’t get what I want?
Heartbreaker
Heartbreaker
You’ve made an obvious choice
Who says I can’t get what I want?
These days I could use a friend
But I can’t depend on you ever going out of your way
Just when things couldn’t get no worse
It’s your name I’ll curse but you wouldn’t have it any other way
Heartbreaker
Heartbreaker
You’ve made an obvious noise
Who says I can’t get what I want?
Heartbreaker
Heartbreaker
You’ve made an obvious choice
Who says I can’t get what I want?
I won’t let you down
Don’t count me out
Say that you’ll stay forever
The One That Got Away
She says, “I’ve got no time for this rejection”
“Return my affection or show me the door”
“You’re just a prisoner to your dreams”
“And you don’t know what it means to love somebody”
You know how it feels
You’ve been alone
Breathing heavy into a telephone
Don’t ever change when they ask you to
Fuck everyone else - Just keep being you
If this is love - What the Hell have we been waiting for?
If this is love - You’re the reason nothing matters
Everybody has a story about the one that got away
She says, “You think you’re so smart”
“When we start to grow apart”
“You’re gonna try to blame it all on me”
I’ve got a price tag on my soul
And I don’t exactly know
Who you expect me to be.
You know how it feels
When everything goes black
You’ve been to heaven lying on your back
I’m gonna make you pay
I promise I will
Fuck everyone else
Kill! Kill! Kill!
If this is love - What the Hell have we been waiting for?
If this is love - You’re the reason nothing matters
It’s not enough
To find a place in this world and fill it with stuff
The Last Word
I don’t need to feel the earth move
To know you feel like I do
I was just an easy target
And you promised me that you’ll never forget
I don’t need to have the last word
I just wanted to feel like I exist
I just want another chance
to lose myself in a reckless romance
I just want another chance
To give myself to you
I just wanted to feel like I exist
I don’t want to live forever
I just want to wake up in your arms
