You're never gonna get it...


2. EVERYONE ALIVE

I say hey, hello, mom and dad
I think it's great, okay or just plain bad
Are you alive? Is everyone alive?

Oh yea well me? I guess, I'm doin' fine
I don't know why, you think I would be lyin'
I'm alive, like everyone's alive
Is anyone alive?

I'm alright, I'm just fine,

Everyone alive? (Everyone! Everyone!)
Everyone alive? (Everyone! Everyone!)
Everyone, is alive! (Alright!)

Oh honey, hey, hello, how was your day?
You work was work, don't know any other way
But I'm alive, like everyone's alive.

I gotta find a way till the end of the week
Make it alive, like everyone alive,
Like everyone alive.

Everyone alive? (Everyone! Everyone!)
Everyone, is alive!

3. CALIFORNIA SONGS

Well, I got your late night call
You're in the center of it all
You're having a ball
And you're really doing fine
A west coast time
And I believe you

But here's one for the coast
The people with the most
The pretty, pretty folks
The west coast folks
Yeah, here's one for the coast
And the people with the most
The pretty, pretty folks
The west coast folks

And here we go again
It's never gonna end
We're all so sick of California songs
Yeah, we know you love L.A.
There's nothing left to say
Please no more California songs

And fuck New York too

Yeah, your heaven is a lie
Just more shit that I don't buy
Well, they're heading for the coast
They're moving out in droves
Sending back reports on the radio
The message is the same
It's getting pretty lame
California Dreamin's on the radio

And here we go again
It's never gonna end
We're all so sick of California songs
Yeah, we know you love L.A.
There's nothing left to say
Please no more California songs

And here we go again
It's never gonna end
We're all so sick of California songs
Yeah, we know you love L.A.
But there's nothing left to say
Please no more California songs

And fuck New York too

All right, all right, all right
All right (all right), all right (all right), all right (all right), yeah

We're all so sick of California songs
Yeah, we know you love L.A.
There's nothing left to say
Please no more California songs

And here we go again
It's never gonna end
We're all so sick of California songs
Yeah, we know you love L.A.
There's nothing left to say
Please no more California songs
Please no more California songs
Please no more California songs
Please no more California songs
Please no more California songs

And fuck New York too


4. DICK JONES

You're sidetracked with nothing to show
You're friends with people that you dont even know
You're stuck in places that you would never go
If you could choose

You're on a level that you've never sunk to
You're in a middle that there's no getting through
You're over and you'll be thirty-two
You were born to lose

It's chemical
Logical
Left foot, right foot
You got it

Walk away, and fast
Turn around and leave them behind

You're on your fifth drink with no buzz in sight
And that asshole hasn't shut up all night
You wanna tell yourself that you'll be alright
But who would you fool?


5. MONEY ON THE DRESSER

("Sometimes I like to go out ridin' around at night.")

The zoso no shows
The yin and the yang
The stepped on nose blow
The cheap, easy bang

Oh, they're pimpin' you out
Yeah, they're pimpin' you out
Well, they're pimpin' you out
Yeah, they're pimpin' you out
How they're pimpin' you out
Well, they're pimpin' you out
Yeah, they're pimpin' you out

They're pimpin' you out

Fall on the line
I'll take you out from the tower
They turn on the juice, boy
And then they turn on the power


6. P.J. SOLES

I think of P.J. Soles
And wonder where you are
I'll never see you anymore

Where do you think they go?
All the Fallen Stars
Heaven doesn't know you like I do

See you - bleed through
The gauzey haze I sink into
I think of you like P.J. Soles

I was your biggest fan
You seemed to understand
They'll never see you like I do

I guess it's like they said
That it was all just built up in my head
But you're still so real to me

If fine - this time
To me it makes no nevermind

But you know I keep you close
Yearbook - it took
Just one thousand tearstained looks
I think of you like P.J. Soles

And if I do think of you
It's only in the darkest place inside of me
You should know - I think of you like P.J. Soles

See you - bleed through
The gauzey haze I sink into
Phone call- fuck all
You're just one part of my free fall
This part of me will never close

And when I do think of you
It's only in the darkest place inside of me
You should know- I think of you like P.J. Soles

P.J. Soles


7. HOW'S THE WEATHER DOWN THERE?

Take the things you want
And leave everything you need
But you'd better take heed
You won't get to see me bleed
I can always change
But you'll always be the same
It's such a crying shame
But someone should take the blame

And if you go home with another tough guy
I don't wanna hear you cry
How you can't look him in the eye
If you go home with another tough guy
I don't wanna hear you cry
I won't help you say goodbye

But if you wanna leave
If you wanna leave
If you wanna leave
I can help you out with that
If you wanna leave
If you wanna leave
If you wanna leave
I can help you out with that

I know i'm evil-mean
And i know i'm playing rough
And i know you've had it tough
But i think i've had enough
I was unaware of you ever playing fair
And i really don't care
How's the weather down there?

And if you go home with another tough guy
I don't wanna hear you cry
How you can't look him in the eye
And if you go home with another tough guy
I don't wanna hear you cry
There's no more of you and i

If you wanna leave
If you wanna leave
If you wanna leave
I can help you out with that

And if you go home with another tough guy
Another tough guy who's just a little too high
If you go home with another tough guy
I don't wanna hear you cry
There's no more of you and i

I'm up in the air
How's the weather down there?
I don't wanna play fair
And i really don't care
I'm up in the air
How's the weather down there?
I really don't care
I really don't care

If you wanna leave
If you wanna leave
If you wanna leave
I can help you out with that


8. BUFFALO TRACE

Eight hours to get to Heaven Hill
Head down - due south - past Louisville
Dont stop until the bourbon still
Parker says we can drink our fill
Eight hours to get to Heaven Hill
Eight hours
Just leave me where Im found
And put my bones in the ground
Oh, yeah - well, its a Buffalo Trace
Fan out and dont give up on the chase
She will make her mark on my face
The Blue Grass Parkway is my favorite place
Eight hours to get to Heaven Hill
Eight Hours
Just leave me where Im found
And put my bones in the ground
All Hail- Manowar is dead
Give up the ghost and put your babies to bed
Oh, yeah- well, you're so easily led
All your money keeps your horses fed
All hail - Manowar is dead
Hail - Hail
Just leave me where Im found
And put my bones in the ground


9. HEAVEN ON THE WAY DOWN

Heaven on the way down
Talk about a prime piece of real-estate
Headin' all the way down
Yeah, you know it's falling like an intrest rate

Jesus calls it even
You could have your home back no questions asked
A temporary way out
Yeah, heaven's on the way down

Sweet relief
Pullin' teeth
Soldier spy tipper tailor junkie thief
Holdin' on
It won't be long
Heaven's on the way down

Heaven's on the way down
Thinkin' that it's over

Tarnished dreams of angels
Nothin' like a cherub with a dirty face
Figure all the angles
Brother kill your brother for a parking space

Jesus calls it even
You could have it all back if you want
Cuz heaven's on the way down
Yeah, heaven's on the way down

Burn the flag
Burn it black
Jackie earl haley's comet comin' back
Soldier on
You read me wrong
Heaven's on the way down
Heaven's on the way down

Sweet relief
Fallin' free
I could spy a tailor sick junkie thief
Speed of sound
It's comin' round
Heaven's on the way down

Heaven's on the way down
Thinking that it's over

It's over


10. HEY, RITA

Hey, rita
There's a statue with your face
Hey, rita
It's in the park, baring your name

I'd love to take you there
But no one really cares, and who's to blame?

Yeah, i've been patient
But, patience just another game

...And if you never stay
Wouldn't matter anyway
It's ok

Hey, rita
There's a statue with your face

Spread the word around
Your queen is steppin' down
Livin' with your mom and dad again

The house built, have been sold
The cars have all been towed
It hasn't been this been bad since who knows when

Hey, rita
We wanna know where you have been
You don't believe it
You wanna know where we were then

...And if you never stay
Wouldn't matter what they say
It's ok

There's a statue with your face
Hey, rita
There's a statue with your face
With your face

...And if you never stay
Wouldn't matter anyway
'Cause who's to blame
...And if you never stay
Doesn't matter what they say

Hey, rita
There's a statue with your face
With your face

Hey, Rita!

...Stop

12. MELLOWED

Tunnel vision is slowly setting in.
Blocking out what should be letting in,
Letting in.
11 years of seeing through alcoholic eyes.
Nothing here at all but lows disguised as highs.
Days I don't remember now,
Fitting in and blacking out,
Falling up and spiraling down and down and then
It's down again, and up again.
I've mellowed but it's taken so much time.

Never needed to think that I was thin.
(Anyway) would I wish it on you now.
I'm so fucked up.
Lay down pacified and completely compromised.
Nothing left inside but memories of lies.
Days I don't remember now,
Of fitting in and falling out
Falling up and spiraling down and down and then
It's down again, but up again.
I'm sorry but it doesn't matter now.

11 years of seeing through alcoholic eyes
Nothing here at all but lows disguised as highs
Days I don't remember now
Fitting in and falling out
Falling up and spiraling down and down and then

I've mellowed but it's taken so much time
So much time, so much time, so much time...


13. THAT'S WHAT THEY ALL SAY

Oh, no, no-everything must go
Lost our lease to the liquor store
We'll be back to fight another day
Yeah, uh-huh-that's what they all say

Going out of style in a paper bag
Sniffing chloroform out of burning flags
Going down in flames and it feels okay
Yeah, uh-huh-that's what they all say

Yeah, yeah, yeah it's a pleasure to burn
I keep fucking up and I never learn
It's alright, it's okay-we're gonna beat 'em anyway
Yeah, uh-huh-that's what they all say
Yeah, uh-huh-that's what they all say

Take it easy
Take it easy
You won't like me when I'm angry
Mashed potatoes
Nice and easy
It didn't have to be this way but
That's what they all say

The devil's in the details
The devil's in the details
Sucking on the third rail
I said the devil's in the details
It's alright, it's okay-we're gonna beat 'em anyway
Yeah, uh-huh-that's what they all say
Yeah, uh-huh-that's what they all say

I want to go down in flames
I want the guilty to hang
The Empire falls

It's a pleasure to burn
A pleasure to burn
The conquering worm

Yeah, uh-huh
That's what they all say...


14. HALCYON DAYS (WHERE WERE YOU THEN?)

Those halcyon days are here
They went away but, they're back again
This will never end
I'm numbed out on bliss that
Comes on like a friend
And it's great

A fantastic waste of time
Life is long but, it all moves so fast
You're first then you're last
Afraid of the future, but i'm bored with the past
And it's great

Yeah, it's great
It's so great
Remember when you wanted it all to end?

My last will and testament
Was full of things that i didn't really mean
I wanna come clean, but these words are easier
To write than to read
Or to say
My mood swings are severe
Those halcyon days are here anyway
I'm held in your sway
The drug of your love
Has me slippin' away
And it's great

Yeah, it's great
It's so great
Remember when you wanted it all to end?
