KILLER SEAS Well my inertia’s become vertigo Because my mind it is moving too slow and now I'm caught up in what I don’t know and I’m worried that it’s starting to show Well my blues have become indigo and all my pockets are empty of dough my dirty habits are starting to grow These killer seas they are bringing me low seas they are bringing me, seas they are bringing me seas they are bringing me, seas they are bringing me low In prison I’m the one who was shy I’m not the one makes the other guys cry, I turn a snitch for a piece of ya pie Oh I’ll do anything cause I don’t wanna die I’m Icarus when I’m getting too high I feel the sun burn a hole in my eye I’m the fox got the chicken whose sly I like the dagger when it’s stuck in my eye Killer Seas they are bringing me low Killer Seas they are bringing me low

White Flag 04:45
WHITE FLAG Sometimes I get a feeling Like I’ve been had Then you come around here waving your white flag Sometimes I heard rumours Like you've been bad When I was the one Raising the red flags Now I’m looking in the bottom of a bottle for you And all I can find is some treacherous truth It’s true There’s some hell round the corner In my brown paper bag My knuckles are bruised from the night I had There’s an aura of dread clouding up this room and that love we had baby well it’s gone too soon Now I’m looking in the bottom of a bottle for you And all I can see is some treacherous truth It’s true For one last time Ill leave my arm round your shoulder I want to keep you warm now as the seasons get colder I’m down on my knees I’m down It seems everything I touch just falls away The promises I make are never here to stay I cant find a road thats gonna take me home It’s so cold out here where we used to roam Now I'm looking in the bottom of a bottle for you It seems all I can find is a treacherous truth It’s true For one last time I’ll leave my arm round your shoulder I want to keep you warm now as the seasons get colder I’m down on my knees I’m down For one last time I’ll leave my arm round your shoulder I want to keep you warm now as the seasons get colder For one last time I’ll leave my arm round your shoulder I’m down on my knees I’m down

LONELY CENTURY You don’t see me anymore How did I become invisible When all I need’s is your eyes on me Just a little reciprocity Right here in the palm of my hand I gotta list of demands you see me making these plans Right here with the beat of the drum I gotta business to run but we’re coming undone Right here under the sun I’m not afraid of ya gun, looks like the damage is done Right here in the space of this room seems we’re done to soon Ohh girl won’t you walk with me In this lonely this lonely century Ohh girl won’t you talk to me In this lonely this lonely century Now this room is so full it’s empty A designer wasteland around a TV This distance between us has turned into tyranny I sit down and write a history Right here in the palm of my hand I gotta list of demands you see me making these plans Right here with the beat of the drum I gotta business to run but we’re coming undone Right here under the sun I’m not afraid of ya gun, looks like the damage is done Right here in the space of this room seems we’re done too soon Ohh girl won’t you walk with me In this lonely this lonely century Ohh girl won’t you talk to me In this lonely this lonely century

Hoarfrost 04:24
She was standing beside the hoarfost blood dripping from her hands A big man got rough A little girl get tough Now she waiting on the police van He had a Bolo tie and a itty bitty fry he couldnt make the snake shake that night so when he saw the red mist yeah he gotta surprise cause my lady she sure can fight And if I had my way If I had my way If I had my way, oh lord I'd tear that building down I'd tear that building down I'd burn that whole whorehouse right down to the ground Now she standing inside the courthouse Waiting just to plead her case But the judge has been bought And now my baby been caught And now she's looking at the judgment day Judge lazy eye got a stomach full of rye even pink elephants could see that the woman in the dock with holes in her sock should not be called guilty And if I had my way If I had my way If I had my way, oh lord I'd tear that building down I'd tear that building down I'd tear that courthouse right down to the ground Kneeling inside the jailhouse Get down on her knees to pray There's no help from above And the girl I love She gonna be there till her dying day The warden is hoarding torture and boarding He thinks that she ain't got no bite but if he tries his luck he gonna realize the wrong end of her knife And if I had my way If I had my way If I had my way, oh lord I'd burn this whole town down I'd burn this whole town down I'd burn this whole damn town right down to the ground
