Right Now

if i had half a brain, i’d probably go insane
i’d write the secrets of the world on the wall
i’d scribble scriptures that no one else could ever read
i’d tell the secrets that nobody would understand at all
my extra sensory, has got the best of me
i can see through the walls while walking down the hall
i see things that no one else could ever see
i hear the screams that nobody would ever hear at all
because
i know what you’re thinking
i know what you’re doing
i know who you’re seeing right now
right now

For A Reason
03:15
|
|||
|
you know i'll try to understand
all the things you're handing me
though they seem so incomplete
shake it off with a grain of salt
find a reason to believe
and there's no one here at fault
citizens locked in a room
use a needle use a spoon
daylight never comes too soon
cause i'm looking for a reason
give me just one good reason
give me a reason to believe
oh yeah oh yeah oh yeah
you know i never will mistake
things you take for granted
things that bring along heartache
so i'll stray my wielding thoughts
step back to my homeland
though i'll never understand

you're always one on time, always feeling fine
suddenly a familiar itch, everything it starts to shift
a doggy who has fleas, you find you're ill at ease
his address in your dresser drawer
you know what you came here for
he's just the man to see
you know you have go talk to boris
his passion is displayed
he'll make you wait all day
cuz he’s got just what you need
you know you will make a plea
he’s just the man to see,
you know you have to go talk to boris
he’s just the man to see,
you know you have to go talk to boris
he’s just the man to see, he’s got just what you need
you are just the dirt, for him to plant his seeds
go talk to
boris is walking down the street
boris is packing lots of heat
boris prefers you stay in your seat
boris is bringing you a treat
go talk to boris
he’s got just what you need
anything you need

Last Night In Dreams
02:46

last night in dreams
can't remember what we talked about
last night in dreams i saw your face
you whispered in my ear
whispered words are never clear
last night i felt so out of place
last night in dreams, i think i caught a glimpse
last night in dreams in a view askew
the world continues to turn
the torch of love continues to burn
last night i didn't have a clue
love is all we are
last night in dreams, i finally got the message
last night in dreams, the secret revealed
i knew it all along, my resistance oh so strong
last night the secret no longer concealed
last night in dreams, i really got the big picture
last night i changed my point of view
the world continues to turn
the torch of love continues to turn
last night my spirit renewed
love is all we are

Daddy

daddy played hard
now he's doing hard time
momma scrubbing the floors
for some nickels & some dimes
it's hard to see her carry such shame
ain't we all to blame
i’m walking the street
i’m a little bit distraught
everything i ever wanted
it can be bought
but i ain't got nickel to my name
i've got no one blame
‘cuz i'm wild and i'm restless
living in the land of the free
but the home of the brave
turned me into a slave
and they put these chains on me
well i'm damned if i do and
i'm damned if i don't
never thought i would ’til
you said i won't
there i did it now i laid claim
ain’t we all to blame
now i'm playing hard
i'm in my prime
but the tables have turned
i'm doing hard time
some lessons are never learned
all my dreams are burned

Take Me Home
03:34
|

|
i'm not a lucky man
i find the things i need to do all right
i'm not a rich man
but it doesn't take a lot to get me by
i'm not a sad man
but laughter hides the emptiness inside
i'm not a lonely man
but i got nobody i can call my own
i been looking for you everywhere i go
i keep hoping that someone will take me home
take me home
i'm not an angry man
but i sometimes feel like i could lose control
i'm not a perfect man
i always try to do the best i can
i'm not a wise man
i don't know when my time is gonna come
i'm not a jealous man
but when i find true love i'll never let it go.
i been looking for you everywhere i go
i keep hoping that someone will take me home
take me home

Mothers Son
03:15
|
|||
|
Changing of the guard knock down the soldiers
there's a star in the sky news of war is over
a tear for the lost and those not to be found
whispering dead colors mixed into the palettes ground
but these few and the proud are suddenly not so fortunate
and a forlorn mothers minds eye can never forget
a child that comes from within can never leave her womb
child plays a grown-up game and ends his life too soon
One side claims a victory tell me has anybody won
when you lose a mothers son
A rainbow of sadness color worlds future
while the dead remain awake their long rest a torture
mine eyes have seen the glory a tale to behold
we all knew the truth but truth may not be told
play with your gadgets push all your buttons
and the arrows will fall in a land that's soon forgotten
I breath in the guilt I eat with the guilty
the future of this planet doesn't look so pretty
One side claims a victory tell me has anybody won
when you lose a mothers son
I'm not a fortune teller but the fortune can be read
I'm not a soothsayer lest I be struck down dead
But I travel the road baby long and winding
and what I see that I am finding
that the truth
oh the truth it can be one
But I stand by convictions and pray for the soldiers
paint my sky a million flowers and one four leaf clover
a tear for the lost and those not to be found
Lay the past to rest dig six feet underground
But these few and the proud are suddenly not so fortunate
and a forlorn mothers minds eye can never forget
a child that comes from within can never leave the womb
child plays a grown-up game and ends his life too soon

Brand New Day
03:10
|
|||
|
thought it was my invitation
getting ready to take my leave
all my plans put into action
there’ll be time for you to grieve
no smoke, definitely no mirrors
looky here nothin’ up my sleeve
time to catch the express elevator
i don’t care what you believe
my time here was very well spent
i’m bound for heaven and i’m so hell bent
it’s a brand new day for me
no more counting out the seconds
and the minutes
and the hours
it’s a brand new day for me
it’s a brand new day
oh yes i’ve got the invitation
kind of glad i get to leave
no doubt a knee jerk reaction
tip my hat it’s time to leave
i bid you all a fine farewell
i bid you all a very good day
i wish you all good salutations
hope you hear what i can say

Drinkin'
02:35
|

|
i’m drinkin’, in the morning
drinkin' at the crack of noon
i'm still drinkin’, it’s just about 3 o' clock
and i'm not nearly through
i’m drinkin’ my dinner
makes me feel so fine
and if you think i drink too much
you can go fuck yourself
i'm drinkin’ away my troubles
drinkin’ away my job
drinkin’ away my family
but i don’t have a problem
drinkin’, because i like it
makes me feel so fine
and if you think i drink too much
you can go fuck yourself
mimosa in the morning
bourbon in the evening
white russian for a snack
and if i run out of liquor
i'll smoke a bunch of crack! … got any?
