Intro

I'll take a nicotine, caffeine, sugar fix

Jesus, don't ya git tired of turnin' tricks

But when your innocence dies

You'll find the blues

Seems all our heroes were born to lose

Just walkin' through time

You believe this heat

Another empty house, another dead and street

Gonna rest my bones an sit for a spell

This side of heaven, this close to hell

Right next door to hell

Why don't write a letter to me?

I said I'm right next door to hell

And so many eyes are on me

Right next door to hell

I go nowhere else to be

Right next door to hell

Fells like the walls are closing on me

My mama never really said much to me

She was much too young and scared to be

Hell, "Freud" might say that's what I need

But all I really ever get is greed

And most my friends they fell the same

Hell, we don't even have ourselves to blame

But times are hard and thrills are cheaper

As your arms get shorter

Your pockets get deeper

Right next door to hell

Why don't you write a letter to me?

I said I'm right next door to hell

And so many eyes are on me

Right next door to hell

I never thought this is where I'd be

But I'm right next door to hell

Thinkin' time'll stand still for me

( )2x ( )

 Fuck you!

Not bad kids just stupid ones

Yeah, thought we'd own the world

And gettin' used was havin' fun

I said we're not sad kids just ones, yeah

Flowin' through life not collectin' anyone

So much out there

Still so much to see

Time's too much to handle

Time's too much for me

It drives me up the walls

Drives me out of my mind

Can you tell me what this means, huh?

He lost his mind today

He left it out back on the highway

On "65"

She loved him yesterday

Yesterday's over, I said OK

That's all right!

Time moves on, that's the way

We live on hope to see the next day

That's all right!

Sometimes these things they are so easy

Sometimes these things they are so cold

Sometimes these things just seem to rip you right in two

Oh, no, man, don't let'em get to you

She loved him yesterday

He laid her sister, she said OK

And that's all right!

Buried her things today

Way back out deep behind the driveway

And that's all right!

Sometimes these things they are so easy

Sometimes these things they are so cold

Sometimes these things just seem to rip you right in two

Only if you let'em get to you

Ya get out your ow

And you take all that you own

And you forget about your home

( )4x

And then you're just fuckin' gone

There's no logic here today

Do as you got to, go your own way

I said that's right!

Time's short your life's your own

And in the end we are just

Dust n'bones, dust n'bones, dust n'bones

That's all right(Dust n'bones)

That's all right(Dust n'bones)

That's all right(Dust n'bones)

That's all right(Dust n'bones)

That's all right(Dust n'bones)

That's all right

Dust n'bones, yeah!

When you were young

And your heart was an open book

You used to say live and let live

You know you did, you know you did, you know you did

But if this ever changin' world in which we live in

Makes you give in and cry

Say live and let die

Live and let die

What does it matter to ya

When ya got a job to do ya got to do it well

You got to give the other fella hell

You used to say live and let live

You know you did, you know you did, you know you did

But if this ever changin' world in which we live in

Makes you give in and cry

Say live and let die

Live and let die.

Talk to me softly

There's something in your eyes

Don't hang your head in sorrow

And please don't cry

I know how you feel inside I've

I've been there before

Something's changin' inside you

And don't you know

Don't you cry tonight

I still love you, baby

Don't you cry tonight

Don't you cry tonight

There's a heaven above you, baby

And don't you cry tonight

Give me a whisper

And give me a sigh

Give me a kiss before you

Tell me goodbye

Don't you take it so hard now

And please don't take it so bad

I'll still be thinkin' of you

And the times we had, baby

And don't you cry tonight

Don't you cry tonight

Don't you cry tonight

There's a heaven above you, baby

And don't you cry tonight E F G Am

And please remember

That I never lied

And please remember

How I felt inside now, honey

You gotta make it your own way

But you'll be alright now, sugar

You'll feel better tomorrow

Come the morning light now, baby

And don't you cry tonight

And don't you cry tonight

And don't you cry tonight

There's a heaven above you, baby

And don't you cry

Don't you ever cry

Don't you cry tonight

Baby, maybe, someday

Don't you cry

Don't you ever cry

Don't you cry

Tonight.

Intro

3x

Kickin' back in the shadows

No need for the light

Who's sorry now old timer

Look at how you've spent your life

Scroungin' for change

To put some money in your pocket

My how scratch does burn

Laughin' at ths suckers as you pissed it away

But I got the time and I got the muscle

I got the need to lay it all on the line

I ain't afraid of your smoke screen hustle

It's a perfect crime

God damn it, it's a perfect crime

Motherfucker, it's a perfect crime

I said it's perfect

Keep the demons down

And drag the skeletons out

I got a blind man following me in chains

I said he's fun to watch

When the world has stopped

And I think he's got something to say

"You wanna fuck with me, don't fuck with me

'Cause I'm what you'll be so don't fuck with me

If you had better sense

You'd just step aside from the bad side of me

Don't fuck wit'da bad side o'me

Stay away from the bad side o'me

Don't fuck wit'da bad side

(T minus 1:09 and couting)

Ostracized but that's all right

I was thinkin' about somethin' myself

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

Call on everybody who's got last rites

Said it's better if you locked'em away

Running through the visions

At the speed of light

Won't ya let me be

Motherfucker, just let me be

God damn it, better let me be

( )4x

Don't ya know ya better let me

Perfect crime

God damn it, it's a perfect crime

Motherfucker, it's a perfect crime

Don't ya know, it's a perfect crime

Intro

I tried so hard, just to get through to you

But your head's so far

From the realness of truth

Was it just a come on in the dark

Wasn't meant to last long

I think you've worn your welcome, honey

I'll just see you along as I sing you this song

Time can pass slowly, things always change

Your day's been numbered

And I've read your last page

You was just a temporary lover

Honey, you ain't the first

Lots of others came before you, woman

Said but you been the worst

Sa'you been the worst

So goodbye to you, girl

So long, farewell

I can't hear you crying

Your jivin's been hell

So look for me walkin'

Down your street at night

I'll be in with another

Deep down inside

( )6x

Deep down inside

Intro

I can't stop thinkin'

Thinkin' 'bout sinkin'

Sinkin' down into my bed

I call my mother

She's just a cunt now

She said I'm a sick in the head

She said: "You ain't special

So who you foolin'?

Don't try to give me a line"

But I can't stop thinkin' 'bout

Seein' ya one more time, oh no

But I already left you

And you're better off left behind

It's a bad obsessiom

It's always messin'

It's always messin' my mind

It's a bad obsession

It's always messin'

It's always messin' my mind

Too bad, you're fucked up

I used to be wasted

Always tried to take it

Take it down into my vein

I call the doctor

He's just another

He said I'm sick in the brain

He said: "You ain't special

So who you foolin'?

Don't try to give me a line"

But I can't stop thinkin' 'bout

Doin' it one more time, oh no

But I already left you

And you're better off left behind, oh yeah

But I can't stop thinkin' 'bout

Doin' it one more time, oh no

See I already left you

And you're better off left behind, oh no, oh no

It's a bad obsession

And you're always messin' my mind

See I already left you

And you're better off left behind, oh no

Maybe you'll do better next time...

Punk!

Oh, baby! Pretty baby!

Oh, honey, you let me down, honey

So stake your claim, your claim to fame

But, baby, call another name

When you fell the fire

( )3x ( /C#)3x

And taste the flame

Hey, what you think he's trying to say there anyway?

I think it's something each person's

Supposed to take in their own special way

Fuckin' bitch!

Found a head and an arm in the garbage can

Don't know why I'm here

Livin' on the run for, oh, so long

I gotta go collect

Double talkin' jive

Get the money, motherfucker

'Cause I got, no more patience

Double talkin' - I got (lies) -

No more patience, man

Back in town and all new friends

Fucked up and out to place

Double talkin' jive

Get the money, motherfucker

'Cause I got no more patience

Double talkin' - I got (lies) -

No more patience, man

( )15x

You dig what I'm sayin'?

Intro

When I look into your eyes

I can see a love restrained

But darling when I hold you

Don't you know I feel the same, yeah

'Cause nothin' last forever

And we both know hearts can change

And it's hard to hold a candle

In the cold november rain

We've been through this such a long, long time

Just tryin' to kill the pain, oh yeah

But lovers always come and lovers always go

And no one's really sure who's lettin' go today

Walkin' away

If we could take the time to lay it on the line

I could rest my head

Just knowin' that you were mine

All mine

So if you want to love me

Then darlin' don't refrain

Or I'll just end up walkin'

In the cold november rain

Do you need sometime on your own?

Do you need sometime all alone?

Everybody needs sometime on their own

Don't you know you need sometime all alone

I know it's hard to keep and open heart

When even friends seem out to harm you

But if you could heal a broken heart

( )2x ( )2x

Wouldn't time be out to charm you

Sometimes I need sometime on my own

Sometimes I need sometime all alone

Everybody needs sometime on their own

( )2x

Don't you know you need sometime all alone

And when your fears subside

And shadows still remains, oh yeah

I know that you can love me

When there's no one left to blame

So never mind the darkness

We still can find a way

'Cause nothin' lasts forever

(G/ )2x ( )2x

 Even cold november rain ( )2x

Don't ya think that you need somebody

Don't ya think that you need somebody

Everybody needs somebody

You're not the only one

You're not the only one

Don't ya think that you need somebody

Don't ya think that you need somebody

Everybody needs somebody

You're not the only one

You're not the only one

Don't ya think that you need somebody

Intro

( / )2x

You know you're all alone

Your friends the aren't at home

Everybody's gone to the garden

As you look into the trees

You can look but you don't see

The flowers seem to tease you at the garden

Everybody's there, but you don't seem to care

/ ( + )2x

What's it with you, man, and this garden

Turned into my worst phobia

A crazy man's utopia

If you're lost no one can show'ya

But it sure was glad to know'ya

Only poor boys take a chance

On the garden's song and dance

Feel her flowers as they wrap around

( + )2x ( )6x

 But only smart boys do without /

You can find it all inside

No need to wrestle with your pride

No, you ain't losin' your mind

You're just in the garden

They can lead you to yourself

Or you can throw it on te shelf

But you know you can look inside

For the garden

I wasn't really scared

Lost my virginity there

To a gypsy with blond hair

But now no one seems to care

Like a mouse inside a maze

Wandering round 4 daze

With a smile upon my face

I never wanna leave this place

Only poor boys take a chance

On this garden song and dance

Feel her flowers as they wrap around

But only smart boys do without

Turned into my worst phobia

It's a crazy man's utopia

If you're lost no one can show'ya

But it sure was glad to know'ya

Bye, bye, so long, bye, bye

It's glad to know'ya

Bye, bye

Bye, bye

Aw, so long...

It's a critical solution

And the east coast got the blues

It's a mass of confusion

Like the lies they sell to you

You got a glass jawed toothache

Of a mental disease

And they be runnin' round back

See'em line up on their kness

'Cause the kiss ass sycophants

Throwin' penance at your feet

When they got nowhere to go

Watch'em come in off the streets

While they're bagin' out front

Inside they're slammin' to the crunch

Go on and throw me to the lions

And the whole damn screamin' bunch

'Cause the pissed-off, rip-offs

'R' everywhere you turn

Tell me how a generation's

Ever supposed to learn

This fire is burnin' and it's out of control

It's not a problem you can stop

It's a rock'n'roll

I read it on a wall

It went straight to my mind

It said "dance to the tension

Of a world on the edge"

We got racial violence

And who'll cast the first stone

And sex is used anyway it can be

Sometimes when I look out

It's hard to see the day

It's a feelin' you can have it

It's not mine to take away

Lost in the garden of Eden

Said we're lost in the garden of Eden

And there's no one's gonna believe this

But we're lost in the garden of Eden

This fire is burnin' and it's out of control

It's not a problem you can stop

It's rock'n'roll

Suck on that

Lookin' through this point of view

There's no way I'm gonna fit in

Don't ya tell me what my eyes see

Don't ya tell me who to believe in

I ain't superstitious

But I know when something's wrong

I've been draggin' my heels

With a bitch called hope

Let the undercurrent drag me along

Lost in the garden of Eden

Said we're lost in the garden of Eden

And there's no one's gonna believe this

But we're lost in the garden of Eden

Most organized religions make

A mockery of humanity

Our governments are dangerous

And out of control

The garden of Eden is just another graveyard

said if they had someone to buy it

Said I'm sure they'd sell my soul

The fire is burnin' and it's out fo control

It's not a problem you can stop

It's rock'n'roll

Lost in the garden of Eden

(And we ain't takin' about no poison apple

Or some missin' rib' ya hear)

Said we're lost in the garden of Eden

Said there's no one's gonna believe this

Said we're lost in the garden of Eden

This fire is burnin' and it's out of control

It's not a problem you can stop

It's rock'n'roll

Intro

( )2x

Don't damn me

When I speak a piece of my mind

'Cause silence isn't golden

When I'm holding it inside

'Cause I've been where I have been

And I've seen what I have seen

I put the pen to the paper

'Cause it's all a part of me

Be it a song or a casual conversation

To hold my tongue speaks

Of quiet reservations

Your words once heard

They can place you in a faction

My words may disturb

( )2x

But at least there's reaction

Sometimes I wanna kill

Sometimes I wanna die

Sometimes I wanna destroy

Sometimes I wanna cry

Sometimes I could get even

Sometimes I could give up

Sometimes I could give

Sometimes I never give a fuck

It's only for a while

I hope you undersdtand

I never wanted this to happen

Didn't want to be a man

So I hid inside my world

I took what I could find

I cried when I was lonely

I feel down when I was blind

But don't damn me when I speak

A piece of my mind

'Cause silence isn't golden

When I'm holding it inside

'Cause I've been where I have been

And I've seen what I have seen

I put the pen to the paper

'Cause it's all a part of me

How can I ever satisfy you

And how can I ever make you see

That deep inside we're all somebody

And it don't matter who you wanna be

But now I gotta smile I hope you comprehend

For this man can stay it happened

'Cause this child has been condemned

So I stepped into your world

I kicked you in the mind

And I'm the only witness

To the nature of my crime

But look at what we've done

To the innocent and young

Whoa listen to who's talkin'

'Cause we're not the only ones

The trash collected by the eyes

And dumped into the brain

Said it tears into our consciuos thoughts

You tell me who's to blame

I know you don't wanna hear me cryin'

And I know you don't wanna hear me deny

That your satisfaction lies in your illusions

But your delusions are yours and not mine

We take for granted we know the whole story

We judge a book by it's cover

And read what we want

( )2x

Between selected lines

Don't hail me

And don't idolize the ink

Or I've failed in my attentions

Can you find the missin' link

Your only validation is in living your own life

Vicarious existence is a fucking waste of time

So I send this song to the offended

I said what I meant and I've never pretended

As so many others do intending just to please

If I damned your point of view

( )2x ( )3x

 Could you turn the other cheek

Don't damn me

When I speak a piece of my mind

'Cause silence it's not golden

When I'm holding it inside

I've been where I have been

And I've seen what I have seen

Put the pen to the paper

'Cause it's all a part of me

Don't damn me

I said don't damn me

I said don't hail me

Don't damn me

All right that's stopped!

Intro

/9

Diamonds and fast cars

Money to burn

I got my head in the clouds

I got these thoughts to churn

Got my feet in the sand

I got a house on the hill

I got a headache like a mother

Twice the price of my thrills

And it's a cold day it's a continental drift

I said this traffic is hell

Can you give me a lift

And I'll try to paint a story

Got your pictures to tell

Yeah, you got to make a living

With what you bring yourself to sell

I got some genuine

Imitation

Bad apples

Free sample

For your peace of mind

Only $9,95

I got my camera back from customs

Got my law fees up to date

Hell they must seen me comin'

Ain't this life so fuckin' great

When the shit hit the fan

It was all I could stand

Yeah, well I'm a frequent flyer

My body's breathing while it can

But what I don't understand is that

My world ain't getting no brighter

If i could touch the sky

Well I would float on by

While everybody's talkin'

Hell I'm just another guy

If it were up to me

I'd say just leave me be

Why let one bad apple

Spoil the whole damn bunch

Gold and caviar

Now whyn't you pour my apathy

I'd have all my bases covered

If I could teach my hands to see

But now we're down in the deep end

Where they'd love to watch you drown

I said your laundry could use washing

Will hang it up all over town

I said Hollywood's like a dryer

And we're down on Sunset Strip

And you'll be suckin' down the clorox

'Til your life's all nice and crisp

When the shit hit the fan

It was all I could stand

Yeah, well I'm a frequent flyer

My body's breathing while it can

But what I don't understand is that

My world ain't getting no brighter

If i could touch the sky

Well I would float on by

While everybody's talkin'

Hell I'm just another guy

If it were up to me

I'd say just leave me be

Why let one bad apple

Spoil the whole damn bunch

My world ain't getting no brighter

If i could touch the sky

While everybody's talkin'

Hell I'm just another guy

Why let one bad apple

Spoil the whole damn bunch

Boy!!!

Sick this life

Now that you'd care

I'm not the only one with

Whom these feelings I share

Nobody understands, quite why we're here

We're searchin' for answers

That never appear

But maybe if looked real hard I'd

I'd see you're tryin' too

To understand his life

That we're all going through

(Then when she said she was gonna like

Wreck my car... I didn't know what to do)

Sometimes I feel like I'm beating a dead horse

And I don't know why you'd be bringin' me down

I'd like to think that our love's

Worth a tad more

It may sound funny but you'd think by now

I'd be smilin'

I guess somethings never change

Never change

I met an old cowboy

I saw the look in his eyes

Something tells me he's been here before

'Cause experience makes you wise

I was only a small child

When the thought first came to me

That I'm a son of a gun and the gun of a son

That brought back the devil in me

But sometimes I feel like I'm beating a dead horse

And I don't know why you'd be bringin' me down

I'd like to think that our love's

Worth a tad more

It may sound funny but you'd think by now

I'd be smiling

I guess somethings never change

Never change

I ain't quite what you'd call and old soul

Still wet behind the ears

I been around this track a couple o'times

But now the dust is starting to clear

( )3x

Oh, yeah!

Sometimes I feel like I'm beatin' a dead horse

And I don't know why you'd be bringin' me down

I'd like to think that our love's

Worth a tad more

It may sound funny but you'd think by now

I'd be smiling

Oh, yeah, I'd be smiling

No way, I'd be smiling

Oh, smiling

Intro

Hey, you caught me in a coma

And I don't think I wanna

Ever come back to this world again

Kinda like it in a coma

'Cause no one's ever gonna

Oh, make me come back to this world again

Now I feel as if I'm floating away

I can't feel all the pressure

And I like it this way

But my body's calling

My body's calling

Won't ya come back to this world again

Suspended deep in a sea of back

I've got the light and the end

I've got the bones on the most

Well, I've gone sailin', I've gone sailin'

I could leave so easily

While friends are calling back to me

I said they're

They're leaving it all up to me

When all I needed was clarity

And someone to tell me

What the fuck is going on

God damn it! (Zap the son of a bitch again)

Slippin' farther and farther away

It's a miracle how long we can stay

In a world our minds created

In a world that's full of shit

Help me... Help me... Help me... Help me...

Please understand me

I'm climbin' through the wreck age

Of all my twisted dreams

But this cheap investigation just can't

Stifle all my screams

And I'm waitin' at the crossroads

Waiting for you

Waiting for you

Where are you?

/#11 /11/13

No one's gonna bother me anymore

No one's gonna mess with my head no more

/#11 /11/13

I can't understand what all the fightin' for

But it's so nice here down off the store

/#11

I wish you could see this

'Cause there's nothing to see

/11/13

It's a peaceful here and it's fine with me

/#11

Not like the world where I used to live

/11/13 /#11 /11/13 Aadd#11

I never really wanted to live

(Zap him again)

(Zap the son of a bitch again)

Ya live your life it's a coma

So won't you tell me why we'd wanna

With all the reasons you give it's

It's kinda hard to believe

But who I am to teel you that I've seen

Any reason why you should stay

Maybe we'd better off without you anyway

You got a one way ticket

On your last chance ride

Gotta one way ticket

To your suicide

Gotta one way ticket

And there's no way out alive

And all this crass communication

That has left you in the cold

Isn't much for consolation

When you feel so weak and old

But if home is where the heart is

Then there's stories to be told

No, you don't need a doctor

No one else can heal your soul

Got your mind in submission

Got your life on the line

But nobody pulled the trigger

They just stepped aside

They be down by the water

While you watch'em waving goodbye

They be callin' in the morning

They be hangin' on the phone

They be waiting for the answer

But you know nobody's home

And when the bell's stopped ringing

It was nobody's fault but your own

There were always ample warnings

There were always subtle signs

And you would have seen it comin'

But we gave you too much time

And when you said that no one's listening

Why'd your best friend drop a dime

Sometimes we get so tired of waiting

For a way to spend our time

And it's so easy to be social

It's so easy to be cool

Yeah, it's so easy to be hungry

When you ain't got shit to lose

And I wish that I could help you

With what you hope to find

But I'm still out here waiting

Watching reruns of my life

When you reach the point of breaking

Know it's gonna take sometime

To heal the broken memories

That another man would need

Just to survive
