1. MOVIN' DOWN LIFE

Fast Flo paints her nails and she looks bored
So far nothing scored
Where she comes from, people take it nice and slow
That's all it takes, you know

Movin' down life, one way or another
Movin' down life, movin' with each other
Movin' down life, movin' in, on another life
Movin', movin' down life

Truck Stop Ben thinks everybody else is a fool
That's why he dropped out of school
He drops them bennies and he sticks to the white line
I say he's doing fine

Movin' down life, one way or another
Movin' down life, movin' with each other
Movin' down life, movin' in, on another life
Movin' movin' down life

No one knows where the river starts or where it goes
But jumping in and leaving my clothes

Movin' down life, one day or another
Movin' down life. movin' with each other
Movin' down life, one way or another
Movin' down life, movin' with each other


2. AGAINST THE GRAIN

Once I dreamt I was falling, like a feather from a tree
The welcoming committee cheered, must have been a sight to see
Right there in the middle of a sweaty night in Rome
Someone showed a million feathers, how to be a bird on their own
Though we never got to flyin', I was woken by the phone

I can hear it calling, get aboard the last train
It's a one way goin' against the grain
I can hear it calling, get aboard the last train
It's a one way goin' against the grain

Once I thought I was flyin', had a taste of the witches seed
Got me so excited, couldn't get back on my feet
Then without a warning, soft whisper in my ear
If you feel like playin' honey, let's go get out of here
But we never got to playin', 'cause I passed out, out of fear

I can hear it calling, get aboard the last train
It's a one way goin' against the grain
I can hear it calling, get aboard the last train
It's a one way goin' against the grain


3. GRAB IT FOR A SECOND

We were rolling through the room
I could feel her heart boom
Beating next to mine
We were just eighteen
I was real hard and mean
But I had a soft spot for her eyes
Another memory, that's all you get to keep
Another memory, that's all you get to keep

I wanna grab it for a second
Wanna hold it tight
Remember what it feels like
Wanna grab it for a second
Wanna hold it tight
Remember what it feels like to have it all day and night

Yeah now we're rollin' through the times
Scrapin' up the dimes
Takin' it blow-by-blow
And I tell my present lady
Not to be afraid
And to enjoy it to the end of the show
Memories, that's all you get to keep
A lot of memories, that's all you get to keep

Just gotta grab it for a second
Wanna hold it tight
Remember what it feels like
Grab it for a second
And hold it tight
Remember what it feels like to have it all day and night


4. CELL 29

He's planning a robbery
Lack of common sense
Bad vibes and a story
That stands for accidents

And now he's gonna get lucky
This time he'll play it smart
By the time lucky gets lucky
When he steps out of the getaway car

Yeah, now he's gonna get lucky
This time he'll play it smart
By the time lucky gets lucky
When he steps out of the getaway car

Feeling fine rhymes on cell 29
Feeling lonely in cell 29
I can remember your face
And I pace, and I pace in C29
Callin' further needs
Max security

Feeling fine rhymes on cell 29
Feeling lonely in cell 29
I can remember your face
And I pace, and I pace in C29
Call it villainy
Max security

While I eat that food, sleep that sleep
Miss that kiss, feel real cheap
Swallow the pills
Forget all the thrills
No more bills
It's a crime, cell 29

Feeling fine rhymes on cell 29
Can't wait to fly out of cell 29
Miss the space and the trays of wine in cell 29
Call it villainy
Max security

Feeling fine rhymes on cell 29
Feeling fine rhymes on cell 29


5. ROXANNE

Lolita Roxanne, needs a man
Lolita Roxanne, needs a man
She's comin' home, there's been an affair
Abandoned by all her friends
Critisizin', analyzin', got her in an empty bed again
Gossip in the city all night at her front door
She don't give the way she used to give before
She can't understand it, she's always been so candid, Roxanne
Gossip in the city all night at her front door
She don't give the way she used to give before
She can't understand it, she's always been so candid, Roxanne
Get into your jumpsuit, baby

Lolita Roxanne, needs a man
Lolita Roxanne, needs a man
One day she'll get hurt, I'll circle 'round
And she can stick all her troubles in the safe-and-sound
From her radio, in stereo
Anything that gets her off the ground
Gossip in the city all night at her front door
She don't give the way she used to give before
She can't understand it, she's always been so candid, Roxanne
Gossip in the city all night at her front door
She don't give the way she used to give before
She can't understand it, she's always been so candid, Roxanne


6. LEATHER

Love at first sight, lasts all night
Baby from the moment you open my fly
It's been alright, for my gesundheit
And baby from the moment you cross my eye
Here it comes, here it comes
I don't know where to go, it's a sadomasochism

Sharper than a razor she hurts me with a laser-beam
Medieval server, she do me no favour in between
She stole, she stole my hard-earned money

I got the straps on, you're having your fun
Baby from the moment you beat my drum
It's been alright, for my gesundheit
Baby from the moment you open my eye
Here it comes, here it comes
I don't know where to go, it's a sadomasochism

Sharper than a razor she hurts me with a laser-beam
Medieval server, she do me no favour in between
She stole, she stole my dignity

Burnin' leather, keeps her together
Burnin' leather, keeps her together
Burnin' leather, keeps her together
Burnin' leather, keeps her together


7. TEMPTIN'

I'd really like to go ahead and invite you
Spill us some booze at the nowhere saloon
You know I like you, let's drown our regrets
Pass me another of your Kool-pack filter cigarettes
Later on when the shades are drawn
I'm gonna ask you a question

Do I wanna stay this time, no matter if I live or die
It sure is temptin'

I'd really like to impose on your schedule
Ask you to join me on a midnight cruise
Then I would like you to relax for a second
By the light of a fairy silvery moon
Later on when the shades are drawn
I'm gonna ask you a question

Do I wanna stay this time, no matter if I live or die
It sure is temptin'

Temptin', temptin' yes I know
Temptin', temptin' yes I know
Temptin', yes I know
I'm sure it is, I'm sure it is
I'm sure it is right

I think I could risk to expect more than I wanted to
Now that I've got you in this perfect mood
Makin' love with you, a place in our beds
Pass me another of those Kool-pack filter cigarettes
Later on when the shades are drawn
I'm gonna ask you a question

Do I wanna stay this time, no matter if I live or die
It sure is temptin'

Temptin', temptin' yes I know
Temptin', yes I know
Temptin', temptin' yes I know


8. U- TURN TIME

U-turn, I know the signs
U-turn, I know when it's U-turn time
U-turn, turn the kind
U-turn, I'm gonna leave it all behind

You and me could have solved it
Could have solved it easily
First you adore me, now you bore me
I'm tired of your ceremonies

So, help me
Hand me your keys and I'll take your car
I'll take your car and leave you in peace

U-turn, modern tonight
U-burn, burn, but it's not my kind of light
U-turn, out on the sight
U-turn, I don't know what it is
U-turn time

You and me could have solved it
Could have solved it easily
First you adore me, now you bore me
I'm tired of your ceremonies
And help me,
Hand me your keys and I'll take your car
I'll take your car and leave you in peace

I'll leave you in peace
You'll be happy, oh yeah
Oh yeah, yeah yeah
