Living In A Grown Up World 03:11
lyrics

Living In A Grown Up World I been waiting for a world I've never known I've been hoping for a life I can rock n roll Look at all the restrictions stepping on my convictions I'm a bad ass child living in a grown up world I've been dreaming of staying out all night long Rock N Rolling with the gang who've gone all wrong I'll try here once again Hoping I can make a friend as a bad ass child living in a grown up world (Bridge) Nowhere to play Time falls away Life is today Find me a girl sun sets again not even a friend but it's not the end of the world I'm still looking for a world I've never known Still out there pushing for somewhere that I ain't gone Somehow the dream's still there even though the world don't seem to care I'm just a bad ass child living in a grown up world I'm just a bad ass child living in a grown up world

Ladder Of Luck 02:50

Ladder Of Luck Don't be nervous about me I'm on my way out the door I was on my way up Now I'm pacing the floor Should I stick it out Or are my dreams just stuck? Up on a high wall of hope Needing a ladder of luck (Chorus) Ladder of luck, so what do you say? What do you tell someone who is tired who's come all this way? Do I wait til I die For the light to be seen shining down on the mountain where I've just been I've done all I can Lots of music around They're on their way up I'm on my way down I can still try trucking but I'd get caught in the muck With my high wall of hope without a ladder of luck (Chorus) Don't be nervous about me I'm on my way out the door It's been fun to master all the things they ignore I feel sorry for people who feel sorry for me It ain't about nothing but what you're gonna leave (Chorus)

One Puff Ain't Enough Going down to the water to get my spirit filled there's a time in life you gotta let rest Can't be in heaven all the time (Chorus) When I got it rough One puff ain't enough When I'm loading up on that stuff One puff ain't enough Get me to the top of the mine One puff ain't enough Gonna try to have me a good time One puff ain't enough She's my valentine she's always on the run Freedom's a dream of mine we're never gonna hang in the sun (Chorus) (Bridge) Give to the day pass on the right Break away from anything too tight (Chorus) (Chorus)

Digging The Love Machine 04:28

Digging The Love Machine Her heart was broken back so long ago She can't even remember his name She's been pulling the weight of her soul up the stairs and I'm just loving now she has nothing to blame (Chorus) Well she's alright Digging in the sweet sunlight and she's all mine running in the warm moonlight She's a spellbinder digging in the sunshine sidewinder digging in the moonshine she's my singing dancing rock star queen we're gonna be alright digging the love machine This rhythm got me feeling so loved and secure She'll be my bad habit when I'm done looking for a cure She mix me up like brandy Shake me for some fun If we run out of progress baby I'll be mixing in some fun (Chorus) (Bridge) She can ride her road to glory She can let me be in her story She can find me in her territory Never will she ever need to worry (x2) (Chorus)

Wake Up On The Run 02:19

Wake Up On The Run Been not traveling Been just staying here at home wake up in the morning wonder where the day has gone Sun already setting looks like the day already done Sad to see time drifting by I really gotta wake up on the run Make something quick to eat dress myself make my bed try to remember to do something proud before I'm dead Every day is a winner no matter where you come or go the day has got us living we choose to shrink or grow Someday we will be free and life will be what it should be just hiding out in limboland so these demons won't catch me Sun already setting looks like the day already done Sad to see time drifting by I really gotta wake up on the run

Late For The Party 04:53
lyrics

Late For The Party So around the time the well had run dry I had stopped looking you in the eye I had stopped believing in anything good coming of going I had given in on escaping any fire that would come rolling The sound that filled the air was just passing time And the world had descended into hopeless crime While there’d been hope in the air before Freedom was washed up on a changing shore (Chorus) I can’t begin again because of where I been I can’t sin again because of what I’m knowing Who am I fooling to meet with anybody I’m showing up now too late for the party (x2) I can go for a walk outside But I’m just walking around some soul that has died Wondering where are the tears I must cry These feelings I’ll never tell have hardened inside The moneys good when you’re selling your soul And those who rob you you put out on parole It’s sweet how a prime can just take its toll Leave some empty shell when you’ve reached your goal . (Chorus) (Bridge) The journey is all I wanted now I find There’s nowhere to go now I’m just doing the time So around the time the well had run dry I had stopped looking you in the eye I had stopped believing in anything good coming of going I had given in on escaping any fire that would come rolling (Chorus)

Smoke And Mirrors 04:45
lyrics

Smoke And Mirrors Our country was a sacred place before they laid that plan to waste and leader after leader told their lies Why did we let it go this far? Until they told us who we are and our allies turned away with their goodbyes. Have our memory banks been robbed? When you read your eyes are mobbed by anything you'll understand as clear. Take a fresh good look outside my friend when the sun is shinging look again and all the road will look like smoke and mirrors. (Chorus) - High time goodbyes to blind eyed war pride. My side your side. My my bye bye. Kiss your growing family bye and turn around until you die because the world is always in arms of dirty war They'll use your blood to sanitize the image of the final prize but why is blood the dollar of the poor? I hope you get your swivel chair and you can look around for air shackled to your silly dream career and take a fresh good look outside my friend and when the sun is shining look again and all the world will look like smoke and mirrors. (Chorus) With these tall tales you disagree but have you looked around to see? The cancer of this world is growing fast. Nobody lives without the time and ordinary life is a crime like a ripped up sail hanging from a mast. It's cruel to be kind when you can see some mastermind on TV grinning ear to ear. Take a fresh good look outside my friend and when the sun is shining look again and all the world will look like smoke and mirrors. (Chorus).

Thinking Of Giving Up For Good I've been hungry for a couple of days a couple hard nights and a thrill to kill she showed me a sense of what I was missing wishing I was on top of the hill oooh I was thinking of giving up for good ooooh I was thinking of giving up for good She'll be my Delilah we'll kill trends together make a map of the holes we burrow through she'll give me some sky to put in my pocket a little bit of heaven to pull me through oooh I was thinking of giving up for good ooooh I was thinking of giving up for good (Bridge) Does this make me wonder where she is now? These words that kill when they touch me Does this show you I'm into dying to to hold her for the first time? Does this make me wonder where she is now? These words that kill when they touch me Does this show you I'm into dying to to hold her for the first time? ooooh ooooh This part coming up gets good I was thinking of giving up for good I've been hungry for a couple of days a couple hard nights and a thrill to kill she showed me a sense of what I was missing wishing I was on top of the hill oooh I was thinking of giving up for good ooooh I was thinking of giving up for good

Killed These Feelings Fast 03:14
lyrics

Killed These Feelings Fast Tired of caring and considering in vain Hurting and nobody cares Can't tell I'm going insane She brought me down to earth with her rocket ship illusions Ran out of gas and filled my mind with intrusion I'd forgotten how to feel Now I'll remember what is real It's time she carries on with her ticker tape parade Must be nice to have it made Chorus: All the hope left an empty shell Can't hide from her ride from heaven to hell She left me here with these feelings to die But I killed these feelings fast, babe and baby may wonder why I'm no longer invested in bullshit situations Don't flirt with disaster it's a mindless conversation I sat high on this emotional curve-ball Tired of living for years buried in these walls I'd forgotten how to feel Now I'll remember what is real It's time she carries on with her ticker tape parade Must be nice to have it made (Chorus)

Living In A Borrowed Hole I seen you on the corners I've seen you on the floors you're messing in the doldrums you're playing with the whores there's no one among you to call there's no two ways to fall (Chorus) Did all the living in the street, kid just wash all your faith away? Living in a borrowed hole and there's nobody home you're walking down a tunnel the tunnel is getting thinner you think you're so smart yeah there goes a winner there's no one among you to call there's no two ways to fall (Chorus x2)

Treading The Same Old Ground 03:28

Treading The Same Old Ground Dream can't stop when it's still in motion Time can't hide these deep emotions Life can't hold on to good things gone Where do you go when you're just going on? (Chorus) Love can't hold a broken man down Living in sin with the stolen crown How does it feel to be moving around instead of treading the same old ground? I'm jazzing on a promise of tomorrow Still alive and ready to roll You can kill me with your shallow grave My silence is gonna strip your soul (Chorus) (Bridge) Have I crossed your mind today Are you gonna love me? I'm just a bum with a heart of gold We're hiding our break up songs from one another Looking back to every trick I've pulled (Chorus)
