BMB 04:43
A dead crow on the side of the road a cold reminder that we don’t get long She’s been baught but never sold She’s grown jaded but she won’t grow old She gets High then she gets Low Hitchhikes with nowhere to go Born loose and out of control She gets High then she gets Low Black Market Baby on a Saturday night Burn and break it just to feel alive Cut it up and rip it down There’s nothin’ left when where under ground When their gone it hurts the most When we're gone do we turn to ghosts? She likes to lie by the burn Loves to hurt, say’s “we all take turns” She gets High then she gets Low Hitchhikes with nowhere to go Born loose and out of control She get High then she gets Low

LONGHAND 04:23
The night time Inside of my mind Sounds like my heartbeat inside a beehive The hours drag by Under a black sky Burns like a prayer given through a snakebite I don't want to be Like the ocean drowning in the sea I don't want to be Burning ashes from a tree I got this freight train Inside my bad brain Filled with good times that went unclaimed Heartbreak And manic mistakes Starts like a small crack turns into an earthquake Watch me grow old Unsung and untold Like a peace march at a gun show I don't want to be Like the ocean drowning in the sea I don't want to be Burning ashes from a tree I don't want to be The longhand Dragging endlessly

3:AM 02:46
It's 3:AM The witching hour I fell in love with Black Power Dirty rats And Jetglo cats It's 13 O'clock I'm not coming back The bellmans in black My heads haunted - the voices are back Like a rattle in my brain He sings me a song To help me on my way A death mask Pistol black Bakelite halo The devil is back Sonic bliss A cheap kiss Give my regards To all that I've missed The bellmans in black My heads haunted - the voices are back Like a rattle in my brain He sings me a song To help me on my way Underfed The crows dead Don't think I'm breathing There's spiders in my head

LUCY HARM 03:20
Lucy Harm She could shine her light And show me how to do the twist all night She had one good line and it was just for me She could make me dream I was in the pink And we all fall free And we all walk dead Lucy Harm Was a soulless freak She would kiss me blind then disappear for weeks She had a one-track mind and it wasn’t kind Loved to watch me try to blow my mind Excuse me miss I’ve got the cash Can you lead me down that old Primrose Path You can help me kill some of my precious time And If I don’t come back I wont mind Lucy Harm Comes into my room, Such sweet sweet eyes of doom and gloom She plays my favorite song she won’t stay long She says Let it Bleed it'll keep you warm And we all fall free And we all walk dead

BABY SEZ 03:16
My baby sez don’t you lose your head You used to smile but now those times have gone My baby sez I keep a ditch for the dead My baby sez I shouldn’t wish for the fall Such a shame that you can’t see that far My baby sez that I’ve grown so cold When I lie she says to me I got a hundred reasons why I should leave All of them are better than you What can I do? What am I supposed to do? The way she knows how it’s all been told Take your time and watch it all unfold The way she sez I feel so closed My baby sez all in time Don’t forget were never here to long My baby sez I got a pretty mind I can’t remember all the times I’ve surrendered So I just stare at the sky It was September and I was still falling And that rope swung right by my side My baby sez don’t you lose your head You used to smile but now those times have gone My baby sez I keep a ditch for the dead My baby sez I shouldn’t wish for the fall Such a shame that you can’t see that far My baby sez that I’ve grown so closed

Hey - Where you going today Don’t walk away When - You gonna Look my way Don’t walk away Why - You wanna tear me apart Don’t walk away How - You gonna make break my heart Don’t walk away And like a broken promise You’ll shake me down Blow me out Break my heart Kill all doubt
7.
I got nothing better to do Than to lie around and think of you You never make me feel black You never ever make me feel blue So I’m packing up my baggage Gonna be there soon I’m heading out to Detroit Just to be with you You’re my dream come true You glued my little heart back to new You never make me feel black You never ever make me feel blue So I’m packing up my baggage Gonna be there soon I’m heading out to Detroit Just to be with you You make me feel so free You and me like illness at ease You never make me feel black You never ever make me feel blue So I’m packing up my baggage Gonna be there soon Back to Detroit - I'm heading back to Detroit

DOWN ON ME 04:00
The rain keeps pouring The rain keeps pounding The rain keeps falling down on me The night keeps creeping The night keeps crawling The night keeps falling down on me (We all have our superstitions - We all want to believe) The sky keeps spining The sky keeps calling The sky keeps falling down on me I try to remember the time when I never asked why The stars all stayed in the sky and nothing fell on me Dread - so over my head - outta my mind - let me out Dead - cover my head - cover my mouth - no way out Time keeps ticking time keeps passing Time keeps running out on me Hearts grow colder Hearts grow older Hearts can forget how to beat (We all have our superstitions - We all want to believe) Eyes grow tired Eyes grow wider Eyes just lay me down to sleep
