1. UNDERGROUND

Jenny said when she was just five years old
You know there’s nothing happening at all
Every time she puts on the radio
There was nothing going down at all
Then one fine morning she puts on a New York station
She couldn’t believe what she heard at all

She started dancing to that fine, fine music
You know her life was saved by rock ‘n’ roll
Despite all the amputations
You could just dance to a rock ‘n’ roll station

Jenny said when she was just five years old
My parents are gonna be the death of us all
Two TV sets and two Cadillac cars
Ain’t gonna help us at all
Then one fine morning she puts on a New York station
She don’t believe what she heard at all

She started dancing to that fine, fine music
You know her life was saved by rock ‘n’ roll
Despite all the computations
You could just dance to a rock ‘n’ roll station
And it was alright


2. END TO THE LIES

You sit around there telling stories
Taking chips from old past glories
I had never thought that you'd wake
A single left, choose
With some parts that you can't use
That's why I never liked your pity parties

You never really change like they say
Oh, you'll only become more like yourself
He thought he knew me back in the day
When I was down but now I'm still flying hell

You talk about me so much
That I think that you're in love with me
Yea, you do, it's true man, your busted
You talk about me to your friends
Or anyone with time to listen
You can never ever be trusted

You never really change like they say
Oh, you'll only become more like yourself
He thought he knew me back in the day
When I was down but now I'm still flying hell

End to the lies, End to the lies
End to the lies, End to the lies

Now you
You were the foreskin
I was the real head
You were the foreskin

You never really change like they say
Oh, you'll only become more like yourself
He thought he knew me back in the day
When I was down but now I'm still flying hell

End to the lies, End to the lies
End to the lies, End to the lies
End to the lies, End to the lies
End to the lies, End to the lies


3. CURIOSITY KILLS

What I feel
Is Different than the word love
Love is for fools
What I feel
Isn't foolish
We don't suffer fools, we out fool them.

I look at you picture
One day you decide
To never age
Save yourself
Took yourself out of the picture
Didn't you
Didn't you

Curiosity kills
Curiosity kills
It's what we're on
It's a mean mean end
Curiosity kills

Could not keep
Your mind off of it
Wouldn't hear
What anyone said
You could run, make a new start
Just hid yourself out in the backyard

Curiosity kills
Curiosity kills

It's what we're on
It's a mean mean end
Curiosity kills

I look at your picture
One day you decide
Never age
Always late
Couldn't make
Our final date
Now could you
Could you

Curiosity kills
Curiosity kills
It's what we're on
It's a mean, mean end
Curiosity kills

They said look away, look away
But you couldn't look away
Look away, look away
Something made you stop and stare
That day

Curiosity kills
Curiosity kills
It's what we're on
It's a mean, mean end
Curiosity kills


4. IRRESISTIBLE FORCE

We didn't know that it would blow up
With such might
We stars are even brighter
Contrasted by the night

Sent out shock waves
Filled up the outer space
Even the ghost came
To the late, late, late show
Watch us play

Everything went tossing
Everyone was talking
Making up their faces
Wonder what we look like naked?

The irresistible force met the immovable object
The irresistible force met the immovable object

Banging and banging
And banging and banging
And banging
Together

We've become a big business
A galaxy merger
The two of us a big bang
God is a real man
God is a dad
God is dad

The irresistible force met the immovable object
The irresistible force met the immovable object

Banging and banging
And banging and banging
And banging together

The irresistible force met the immovable object

Some may call me a lucky shot
No, but it was not

Banging and banging
And banging and banging
And banging and banging
Banging and banging
And banging and banging
And banging together


5. I ‘LL HIT YOU BACK

Next time
I'll have somewhere else to be
I'm running away from you
Can't take being besieged.

Knowing that I got some scar on you
Knowing that I held the ground to you

I'm trying
Just to see
The bigger picture
Be the bigger man
Don't hit first, resist attack
But know
I'll hit you back

Knowing that I got some scar on you
Knowing that I held the ground to you

Knowing that I knocked you down
Knowing that I let my tongue go
I aimed and I let my rounds out
On you!

Do I have to be the bigger man
Always the better man

Forget that
Forget that
Forget that

I wanna hot you back
Hit you back
Hit you back
Hit you back
Hit you back

Knowing that I got some scar on you
Knowing that I held the ground to you

Knowing that I knocked you down
Knowing that I let my tongue go
I aimed and I let my rounds out
On you


6. TWISTED TALES

I had no mother
I felt no trust
No family structure
Yes, I've been busted

I laid my bed out
In my back seat
Under the stars is
Where I would eat

Oh sometimes I got lucky
I got nailed too
Real good
She
She was way over my head
Couldn't help myself
Hid my past from you

To fit in
To fit in to
Oh and yes get in bed with you
I had to
Have a way of
Telling tales
Somewhat twisted

Told you white lies
I used white magic
Need you to know
I'm not a reject
I've been committed but
Not for a long time
Long over that and
You can believe it

Oh sometimes I got lucky-I
I got nailed too
Real good
She
She was way over my head
Couldn't help myself
Hid my past from you

To fit in
To fit in to
Oh and yes get in bed with you
I had to
Have a way of
Telling tales
Somewhat twisted

Oh twisted
Oh somewhat twisted


7. ULTIMATE REASON

I had no life
I had no love
I was a bug

I had no mirror
wore dirty clothes
Over and over

The day I saw her
My mind was set

I'll never forget
I have not failed her yet

I've got a reason now to live
That love
She's right here beside me
We're high up above
I've got a reason now to live
That love
Oh, I've got a reason

It's the ultimate
Oh, it's the ultimate
Love

I had to close the distance that
Lay between us

I had a plan that we elope
Upon the "Jaws of death"

And with the roaring sea below

With God as our witness
It all began to hit us
I began to take in
The magical island
Intoxication

I've got a reason now to live
That love
She's right here beside me
We're high up above
Oh, I've got a reason now to live
That love
Oh, I've got a reason

It's the ultimate
Yeah, it's the ultimate
That love


8. SPLASH A LITTLE WATER ON IT

Oh I have to tip toe around so
As not to make a loud sound
Oh what you put her through, look at her
Try and not to wake up the girl, no
What was she thinking trying to keep up with you
Every habit you have
It's cause she loves you so,
Don't tell her she's not looking so good, no

Just splash a little water on it
See what you're working with
Splash a little water on it
And see if it comes alive
Last night almost all went up in smoke
You cannot choke without them knowing
You keep on going

We've been drinking and smoking
Till 4, 5, or 6 in the morning
I take a splash of water to bring me around
And get going
You gotta treat her like a flower, man
Women need time to recover
I flex at my reflection heading into the town
A great hunter

I didn't want to wake you up
You looked so peaceful
I left some water in the cup by the stand
I'll call you later
Oh, I just, I don't know when
Just to remind you I'm your man forever

Splash a little water on it
See what you're working with
Splash a little water on it
And see if it comes alive

Last night almost all went up in smoke
You cannot choke without them knowing
Keep on going


9. BROKEN PEOPLE

Welcome to the world
Welcome to the aching world
A woeful world
Of broken people

She's really a good girl
From a good family
They say it's old money
In the perfect position
To reach out and heal him

They would drink her wine
Whenever she was gone
Home sex videos
Her man was plain wrong
That girl is plain evil

Welcome to the world
Welcome to the aching world
A woeful world
Of broken people

Your sister she's classy
You you're defying your daddy
Yet somehow you knew
That day would come
There'd be a reprisal

Welcome to this world
Welcome to the aching world
A woeful world
Of broken people

Help them out
No, you can't help them out
Not even you
They'll break you in two
They'll break you in two


10. WORDS RIGHT OUT TO THE MOUTH

There's birds up in the trees
My words they want to eat
They wait for me to speak
They swoop in and swallow them down

There's people on the ground
Hungry for some beats to pound
Don't need no bread
They just scream for a morsel of
Sound
More sound

Out
Right out
Took the words
Right out of my mouth

Then you came into the room
Everybody was-bam
She must be a rocket
One said done and the others said
Wow
Oh wow

Out
Right out
Took the words
Right out of my mouth

Then when I stared back
Into your eyes
We had the same expression
Complete surprise
And we're about to let it out
These words from my mouth

He said
Wow
Oh wow

Out
Right out
Took the words
Right out of my mouth

There's birds up in the trees
Look, there's birds up in the trees
