Blackballed 03:07

You’re the man of the hour And your party’s got it all: Chandelier on the ceiling Framed picture of you on the wall But you can’t even get there Cuz your carburetor stalled Looking up to the heavens Cuz you were blackballed Oh yeah… You were blackballed Trudging down the sidewalk Thumbing for a ride Night’s creeping up overhead And you’re feeling dead inside A truck crashes through a puddle Now all your clothes are soaked And you’re walking with a limp Cuz after that your ankle broke Your family’s waiting for ya Mom says “He shoulda called If he knew he was gonna be running late” But no! Cuz you were blackballed You were blackballed Oh yes, you were blackballed Oh no! You were blackballed When you finally show up Everyone is gone Your suit-jacket’s in tatters And you got no shoes on Looking up to the heavens Cuz it’s all God’s fault He didn’t want you to celebrate So instead, you were blackballed Oh yeah, you were blackballed Oh yeah, you were blackballed C’mon… you were blackballed

Pain in My Neck 02:44

I got a pain in my neck! Silver dollars, private jets Big belt buckles, a golden vase For my ashes and cigarettes Gamblin’ women who hide their face My own doctor, special medic Aching back, some vaccine All the ladies in my head it’s Giving me a huge pain, huge PAIN IN MY NECK Dirty sheets, a soiled mind I really wanted just to keep her Cash and credit waste of time Ripped will, scattered paper Just want true love, innards breaking I’ll bark and bite like a Great Dane White and yellow medication For this great pain, great PAIN IN MY NECK SOLO From midnight until dawn As the moon sinks lower I’ll throw my bills on the lawn And pull out and start up the mower Blades of grass, blades of steel My front lawn, two shades of green Now there’s nothing left to steal And there’s no sharp pain… PAIN IN MY NECK

Over the Clouds 03:10
lyrics

Wanna get out of the same old atmosphere A different place to go, I don’t wanna be here Such a different place where there is no crowd No sea of people, maybe over the clouds Soft, white, what a sight to see Be there and nothing else compares to the scene below Wanna be whist away to the light blue sky Wanna go up there but I don’t wanna die Don’t cover me up in no torn up shroud I wanna be alive when I’m over the clouds Rainbows, they know I like to gawk Watch them over my head, see how they flow It looks like a snow day through my window But it’s not a cold day cuz that’s not snow Now I’m lying on cloud nine to watch the sun rise True what they say about time, it really does fly… YEAH Got away from the impolite stuff, escaped into a sea of white fluff Got a way I can live my life now, right now over all the bright clouds Air up here is 10 times clearer, the perfect place to take a breather I’m so high it’s like my mind’s running a fever, just wait ‘til I start to disappear... Got out of the same old atmosphere I found a different place to go that wasn’t there Such a place… No crowds No people: over the clouds

Falling Back 02:27
lyrics

Standing in front of you Your hair’s up in a bonnet I doubt you know what I’m thinking of My shoelace is frayed I’m afraid to step on it If I make one move, I fall right back into love That’s my biggest fear (that’s my biggest fear) That’s the biggest deal (these cards are stacked) And the only way I feel is like I’m falling back You show up outta nowhere You’re a U.M.O. An Unidentified Mystifying Object, you Please there’s the exit Now you can go Before I start getting blisters from the hot love I’m subject to That’s my biggest fear (that’s my biggest fear) That’s the biggest deal (these cards are stacked) And the only way I feel is like I’m falling back When your green eyes glow I try so hard to keep my cool Cuz if I fall I’m just another domino In your chain of fools SOLO Always weary of you Up on all ten toes We both know what happened last time Don’t wanna be brokenhearted Twice in a row A torn up Valentine Thinking I’ll fall for the tricks like The rabbit on the logo But there’s no use in waitin’ Cuz you can call me clown But I ain’t no Bozo I won’t give in to temptation That’s my biggest fear (that’s my biggest fear) That’s the biggest deal (these cards are stacked) And the only way I feel is like I'm falling That’s my biggest fear (that’s my biggest fear) That’s the biggest deal (these cards are stacked) And the only way I feel is like I’m falling back

I Think I Missed the Train 03:22

I’m sitting on the bench outside the train station, waiting for the train It’s been a while and I’m runnin’ outta patience, it’s driving me insane! My umbrella flew away because of the wind, and the rain’s coming down real hard I think I know what kinda shape I’m in, the train’s not near, it’s far My confidence is down the drain My temper’s getting hard to maintain There are so many people that I wanna blame For why I think I missed the train Went inside to check the time table I was pretty sure I was on time My ticket was smudged from the rain I wasn’t able to know if it said eight or nine The ride won't be bad but I'm still distressed In my chest it hurts my heart Don't call me Petty cuz he said it best: "The waiting is the hardest part" Confidence is down the drain My temper’s getting hard to maintain There are so many people I wanna blame For why I think I missed the train I was wide awake all night last night cuz my wife wanted to fight with me over the bed sheets. She wanted light red sheets, I was fine with white. I yelled, she yelled, we woke up the boys so they came in and started arguing with us. I didn’t get to sleep until 3, got three hours of sleep. There was traffic on the freeway. That, with the rain was putting my brain in a state of agitation… now looking at my ticket I still have no clue if I’m too soon, too late, or even on the right goddamn track waiting for this goddamn train! My confidence is down the drain My temper’s getting hard to maintain There are so many people that I wanna blame For why I think I missed the train Shouldn’t blame my wife, shouldn’t blame my kids… I was wrong, admittedly I can’t blame them for what they did, this was all my own stupidity I’m still standing on this platform, I’m here all alone I’m done with this day, I’ve had just about enough, so it’s time for me to go home

Never Forget 04:08
lyrics

Her lips were silk when I kissed ‘em All the nerves shook in my system When she talked I’d watch her mouth and listen To every word she said Her hands had a touch oh so delicate Shampoo of a goddess, she’d smell of it Everything around me becomes irrelevant When she feels me, I go over the edge Her voice would bring Music to both of my ears She never sings Though that’s what I wanna hear Tugging my heartstrings Like I’m her marionette These are just some things That I’ll never forget Never forget, never forget, one, two… Never one, two, three, four… forget you The way she laughed at every joke I’d tell her We had a story like a drugstore novella I would do anything, come hell or High water, no matter the circumstances Never made up an excuse to conceal what We were, cuz each night the appeal of This reeling feeling of my own, known as real love Got to me and made me learn what romance is She had a rough upbringing But I brightened her present She may have acted eighteen Although I acted eleven My angel without wings A heaven will be set For her and all her pretty things That I’ll never forget Never forget, never forget, one, two… Never one, two, three, four… forget you SOLO Such a beautiful being My darling so bright There’s no problem seeing Her in the darkest of light It’s like helping with a sting And you can call it a bet I will risk all of these things Cuz I’ll never forget Never forget, never forget, one, two… Never one, two, three, four… forget you

Endless Waves 02:44
lyrics

Took out my ship for a little cruise Felt a little tired, took a little snooze Twenty minutes later I woke up in a haze What I thought was a little must’ve been days. Out on the sea, endless waves All I can see, endless waves R – O – N – O – C on endless waves Called out for help didn’t help a bit Couldn’t move around, I was too sea sick There were already too many dips and turns So throwin’ chunks overboard was the least of my concerns Out on the sea, endless waves All I can see, endless waves R – O – N – O – C on endless waves SOLO Three days pass, I was left for dead Saying my final words ‘fore I heard something overhead A chopper dropped the ladder, my outstretched arm reached I missed and started drowning then woke up in my drenched sheets It just goes to show: have better dreams instead Of popping pills and popping a giant water bed, YEAH! Out on the sea, endless waves All I can see, endless waves R – O – N – O – C on endless waves

Blow the Girl Outta My Mind 04:00

If there was a way to get rid of her, I would Thinking ‘bout her every day and night is no good Thinking ‘bout crying but the ducts are dry And all I can ask is "Why?" There’s a permanent option My thoughts will be scattered I don’t have a doubt… It’s my final option My brains’ll be splattered But she will be out Just blow the girl outta my mind... I know it’s rash but I have no time I don’t wanna see her with another one Let go of my arm, I just wanna be blind If I could shut my mind off I would do it Keep thinking about our love and how I blew it Now the only thing that’s gonna be blown is my head clean off my neck But instead I keep telling myself, not yet There’s a permanent option I have yet to address I don’t have a doubt It’s my final option It’ll be a mess But she will be out Just blow the girl outta my mind... I know it’s rash but I have no time I don’t wanna see her with another one Let go of my arm, I just wanna be blind Just blow the girl outta my mind... I know it’s rash but I have no time I don’t wanna see her with another one Let go of my arm, I just wanna be blind If there was a way to get rid of her, I would Thinking ‘bout her every day and night is no good

My Skyscraper 02:48

My skyscraper has to be bigger It has to be taller Built a thousand miles high Not a centimeter smaller Build it to the moon and back So it also scrapes space The tallest man-made creation To ever be on the Earth’s face If you walk in; briefcase, suit To get to the meeting floor Ya better change into a spacesuit Cuz that’s the 20,016th floor My skyscraper, powerful like me My skyscraper, everyone can see My skyscraper, it ain’t that free to be In my skyscraper with me Its height will be astounding Bigger than big is It’s width alone will measure more Than the world’s longest bridge Little by little, the larger it gets My tower begins to loom Our continent and all the rest In a shadow of a billion rooms SOLO That’s what my plan was It looked perfect on paper Worked out great now I’m famous cuz Of my skyscraper My skyscraper, powerful like me My skyscraper, everyone can see My skyscraper, it ain’t that free to be In my skyscraper with me

Nightmare Fuel 03:57

As I drive through this valley of death And I speed through every turn Without one final breath I burn This road that’s paved with skulls and bones, I’m free to ride I take my hands off the wheel and let the monster be my guide As I speed through this path of fire I hear a million firing guns But I know that’s just cuz I run On nightmare fuel, nightmare fuel Nightmare fuel, nightmare fuel On your way to a church service While my points start to a mass Exchangin’ my mind for cold hard cash While you got all your options I’m staying in this bloody lane No one can control me cuz I control this game As I speed through this path of fire I hear a million firing guns And I know that’s just cuz I run On nightmare fuel, nightmare fuel Nightmare fuel, on nightmare fuel FACE-MELTING SOLO This is all I know Darkness a single glow Fire; I feel the heat It’s all real to me! As I speed through this path of fire I hear a million firing guns And I know that’s just cuz I run On nightmare fuel, nightmare fuel Nightmare fuel, on nightmare fuel
