1. TWICE AS HARD

Clean as a whistle
Smelling like a rose
She got no dirty little fingers
Bloodshot eyes are gone

Tell me I'm wrong

Twice as Hard
As it was the first time
I said goodbye

And no one ever wanna' know
Love ain't funny
A crime in the wink of an eye

Your sister always singing
She play the step child
A broken little memory
Her heart was never kind

Tell me I'm blind

Yeah, bloodshot eyes are gone
Tell me I'm wrong


2. JEALOUS AGAIN

Cheat the odds that made you
Brave to try to gamble at times
Well I feel like dirty laundry
Sending sickness on down the line
Tell you why

Because I'm jealous, jealous again
Thought it time I let you in
I'm jealous, jealous again
Got no time, baby

Always drunk on Sunday
Trying to feel like I'm at home
Smell the gasoline burning
Boys out feeling nervous and cold

Stop, understand me
I ain't afraid of losing face
Stop, understand me
I ain't afraid of ever losing faith in you

Never felt like smiling
Sugar wanna' kill me yet
Find me loose lipped and laughing
Singing songs ain't got no regrets

Don't you think I want to
Don't you think I would
Don't you think I'd tell you baby
If I only could
Am I acting crazy
Am I just too proud
Am I just plain lazy
Am I, Am I, Am I, ever


3. SISTER LUCK

Worried sick my eyes are hurting
To rest my head I'd take a life
Outside the girls are dancing
'Cause when you're down it just don't seem right

Feeling second fiddle to a dead man
Up to my neck with your disregard
Like a beat dog that's walking on the broadway
No one wants to hear you when you're down

Sister luck is screaming out
Somebody else's name
Sister luck is screaming out
Somebody else's name

A flip of a coin
Might make a head turn
No surprise, who sleeps
Held my hand over a candle
Flame burning but I never weep

Sister luck is screaming out
Somebody else's name
Sister luck is screaming out
Somebody else's name

What a shame


4. COULD I ‘VE BEEN SO BLIND

How could I've been so blind
So empty that I've never felt warm
Can I spell it out
Turn myself out of my home
Looking like a fool
Feeling even worse than it seems
Trying hard as nails
Believing only in myself

And now it looks like innocence is gone
I know right and I know what's wrong
Feeling lonely that's the way it goes
Sometimes

But my greatest fear
Paint a smile from ear to ear
Alone and crying
Living like this is no better than dying

I tell you baby things are gonna' change
Looking like we were caught out in the rain
Feeling lonely
That's the way it goes
Sometimes

Could I ever have been so blind
Could I ever have been so blind
Could I ever have been so blind
Could I ever have been so blind

Could I ever have been so blind
Could I ever have been so blind

Hardest thing I ever had to do
Was stand up straight and tell it all to you
Look you right in the eye
Tell you baby sorry but I have lied

And now it looks like innocence is gone
I know right and I know what's wrong
Feeling lonely that's the way it goes
Sometimes


5. SEEING THINGS

I find it hard to shed a tear
You brought it all on yourself my dear
Wrong, yes I may be
Don't leave a light on for me
'Cause I ain't comin' home
It hurts me baby to be alone
Yes, it hurts me baby

A hundred years will never ease
Hearing things I won't believe
I saw it with my own two eyes
All the pain that I can't hide
And this pain starts in my heart
And this love tears us apart
You won't find me bent down on my knees
Ain't bending over backwards baby
Not to please

'Cause I'm seeing things for the first time
I'm seeing things for the first time, oh yeah
I'm seeing things for the first time
In my life, in my life

I used to dream
Of better days that never came
Sorry ain't nothing to me
I'm gone and that's the way it must be
So please I've done my time
Loving you is such a crime
You won't fine me down on, on my knees
Won't fine me over backwards baby
Just to please

'Cause I'm seeing things for the first time
I"m seeing things for the first time
Seeing things for the first time
Oh I'm seeing things for the first time
Yeah, seeing things for the first time
I'm seeing things for the first time
Yeah, I'm seeing things for the first time
In my life, in my life


6. HARD TO HANDLE

Baby here I am
I'm the man on the scene
I can give you what you want
But you gotta' come home with me

I have got some good old loving
And I got some more in store
When I get through throwin' it on you
You gotta' come back for more

Boys and things that come by the dozen
That ain't nothing but drugstore loving
Pretty little thing let me light your chemicals
'Cause mama I'm sure hard to handle, now,
Yes mam

Action speaks louder than words
And I'm a man of great experience
I know you've got another man
But I can love you better than him

Take my hand don't be afraid
I'm gonna prove every word I say
I'm advertising love for free
So you can place your ad with me

Boys come along a dime by the dozen
That ain't nothing but ten cent loving
Pretty little thing let me light your chemicals
'Cause mama I'm sure hard to handle, now
Yes mam


7. THICK N’ THIN

Got a chainsaw buzzing
Who's that cussing
Eyes start blinking
The boys all start their wishing

Left holding the bag again
Buring it at both ends
Don't believe she's a friend

Thick, thick & thin
Let it loose now, let it go to the wind

Got my clock tock ticking
Hear the madame start bitching
See the boys itch itching
Do girls ever know what they're missing

But it sounds like shit to me
Last laugh mine will be
I don't believe she is clean

Thick, baby, yeah, thick & thin


8. SHE TALKS TO ANGELS

She never mentions the word addiction
In certain company
Yes, she'll tell you she's an orphan
After you meet her family

She paints her eyes as black as night now
Pulls those shades down tight
Yeah, she gives a smile when the pain come
The pain gonna make everything alright

Says she talks to angels
They call her out by her name
Oh yeah, she talks to angels
Says they call her out by her name

She keeps a lock of hair in her pocket
She wears a cross around her neck
Yes, the hair is from a little boy
And the cross is someone she has not met
Not yet

Says she talks to angels
Says they all know her name
Oh yeah, she talks to angels
Says they call her out by her name

She don't know no lover
None that I ever seen
Yeah, to her that ain't nothing
But to me, yeah me
Means everything

She paints her eyes as black as night now
She pulls those shades down tight
Oh yeah, there's a smile when the pain comes
The pain gonna make everything alright

She talks to angels
Says they call her out by her name
Oh, yeah, angels
Call her out by her name
Oh, oh, oh, oh, angels
They call her out by her name

Oh,she talks to angels
They call her out
Call her out
Don't you know that they
Call her out by her name


9. STRUTTIN’ BLUES

Hey boys, buzzing bee stinging
Ringing ears never gonna' stop
Stand tall sickness creeping right on
Strutting blues gonna' find me again

Got my head spinning round
Wondering when it's gonna stop
Got my head spinning round
Wondering when it's gonna stop

Out there, breeze is finally blowing
No tellin' when the train pulls in
My baby got her engine humming
Strutting blues gonna' find me again

Hey boys, hanging on the corner
Where you hiding when the lights go dim
This thing lighting got your thunder want to crack in
Strutting blues want to find me again


10. STARE IT COLD

Under the weather
I never got better
Wrapped up in my disease
Mile away, she want to count my day
Look a little older in the light

Under the weather
Feeling very heavy
Never up for no air

Sea legs start to wiggling
And sick I'm still feeling
Just know I never cared

Don't you want to feel it
Don't you want to stare it cold

Don't you want to feel it
Don't you want to stare it cold

Never thought about it
And never no questions
Seeing where I've gone wrong

No kiss made it magic
'Cause that old girl has had it
Then it's time for me to run along


11. DONT WAKE ME

Get Chris in here
Hey Chris, have you got a minute
Gonna stop on the dot
Got hte ground all shaking
The wink of and eye
See the noose still swinging
Feeling tounge tied
And I'll nver sop falling
Waste of my time
And the girls start stalling
Don't wake me up
don't wake me
Sleep walking dry
Got everybody saking
Make it all right
See the old man coming
The cat in the bag
She gonna start scratching
Jakc-kife's fine
The blood mean's nothing but
Don't wake me up
Don't' wake me
Don't wake me up
Don't wake me
Solo
Somebody ain't running
Somebody ain't walking

Gun-filing code
And the teeth start scraping
The grave and the dove
And nobody laughing
Live that life
Rolling in the backroom
Thorn stuck in my side
Someone come and took off
Don't wake me up
Don't wake me
Don't wake me up
Don't wake me
