Tracks



01. Truck On

Well i'm truckin' on on a heavy load million miles
From home gotta movin' on all night long baby come along to hell
And back like a heart attack best ride you ever had
And i'm comin' to you gonna blow your fuse watcha gonna do
Gotta get high and real loaded gotta get back to the gator
Sweat blues gotta get high and real loaded livin' on the edge
In the dead man's shoes well i'm drivin' amok doggone's my luck
But i don't give a fuck and i'm feelin' mean bleedin' gasoline
Would you lick it clean everybody needs dreams to ride on by
But what i need is to see my name shinin' on the neon lights truck on baby

02. Lay Down Your Arms

I'm crawlin' back to you like a rattlesnake i've got poison runnin'
Thru burnin' down alive without you my dear things
I've left behind make me want to disappear surrender
Now lay down your arms girl can't you see for you
I've been kicked around the world fallin' back on you
Don't you believe everything i've said is true burnin'
Down alive without you my dear things i've left behind
Make me want to disappear no use tryin' to get your sorrows drowned
Don't you know they just learn to swim

03. Wasting The Dawn

Been runnin' away so long from the day into the strange night of stone
To fade away as the light is gently bleedin' out of my soul
Penetratin' the evening as i ride on this endless road
But you can't turn back the time it always gonna wait on the line
Some may wish never to be born wastin' the dawn like a rose growin'
From the christ's thorn wastin' the dawn been waitin'
For you so long little bird of prey to fly me higher
To the brighter day where the lizard lingers long
Under the sun forgettin' the night darkest july paris '71

04. You Ain't The Reason

Well i can't afford to bleed my blood is purest speed born
From a restless seed on the gypsy road that's me well your chance is fifty
And four to ralize my score nothin' to tie my down i'm cheaper
Than a drug hound well i don't need you nor more
I just can't wait to say to you goodbye today well
I can't tell you thousand lies the difference is in the eyes
This life is built on sin it's deeper than the shit we're in well
I don't need you anymore i just can't wait to say to you goodbye
Today no way you ain't the reason to stay

05. Lazarus Heart

Everytime you need me i'll be there for you showin'
Out no mercy till the fire's been burnin' thru sailin'
Down all the evening until the river ends just a calm
Before the storm on the sea of love my friend
Maybe i just can't live the way i should or will
Maybe i just can't go on when all your love is gone
Maybe i just can't live the way i should or will
Maybe i just can't no more resurrect my hear just like
Before i wish i could remember the first moment
And day to live it again all over never let it go never
Slip away should i just forget now how does it feel like
Then what if i never had a chance to be in love again?

06. Who's Gonna Pay The Bail?

I'm tryin' hard to reconstruck my broken-hearted brain
I've been cut baby i've been shot first time ever
I'm goin' insane i can tell you what it's all about
To twist the devil's tail it's alright 'til the flames come out
And you gonna burn like a fucker who's gonna pay the bail?
Yeah i'm tryin' to get over you hey babe
Yeah i'm tryin' to get over you hey babe the action starts
Like a sonuvabitch on a 2-horn head no remorse dial 666
Should've stayed suckin' 8-balls instead

07. All American Dream

On the edge of the world where the neon screams diet-coke religions
Shotdown tv-screens american boy loves american girl
Most beautiful people in the shattered world i do believe
In all-american dream i do believe in all-american dream on
The edge of the world where the freon streams snortin' up
White mountains in the pools of white limousines millenium boy
Millenium girl most beautiful people in this shattered world
I do believe in all-american dream i do believe in all-american dream
In god we trust in cars we rust an i do believe in all-american dream

08. Be My Speed

Well i ain't a worried man but sometimes i need a helpin' hand
Maybe men don't know but the lil' girls sure understand
Can't you see now baby i ain't a worried man i got the appetite to feed
Get me high lil' girl and be my speed

09. Hand Of God

Let me tell you about the night of all the things
That you hide inside for in the blood that rushes red
All of life's secrets can be read no use cryin' out
I'll show you what hoodoo's about dig up the fear
That drags you down baby let me see you drown
Let me tell you about the night of dark passion
That shuns the light don't you hold it back the deepest flame burns
Always black it ain't hand of god crushin' your heart
Let me tell you about the night where angels dance and angels die
I'm gonna get you little girl show you some underworld
No use cryin' out fear no evil that the night's all about
And don't you try to hold it back the deepest flame burns
Always black it ain't hand of god crushin' your heart bleed me a river

10. Next Stop Paradise

I never promised you miracles baby i only wanted to be with you
Tryin' to get over it is makin' me crazy i never thought you could be so cruel
Whatever happened to the promises baby we made each other
That night tryin' to get over it is makin' me crazy
If love's an angel you're a devil's spice burnin' up and down
In my spine show me the angel i saw in your eyes 'fill my last desire
And the next stop's paradise what did you want what you wanted
From me baby why did you throw my heart away tryin' to get over
It is makin' me crazy i never thought i would burn in flames
Where could i find me a strong enough poison to wash down
This hurtin' pain tryin' to get over it is makin' me crazy
If love's an injection you're the cheapest brown burnin' up and down
In my veins

11. Starshine

Nice to see me but i don't know what i'm goin' to do
Lies to feed me spreadin' my eagle on you tries
To please me can't stand the way you move eyes to sleaze me
But i know the way you gonna get myself to you feel the space
In my mind alright a million stars let them shine alright
Starshine nice to see me but you don't know what i'm goin'
Thru lines to feed me spreadin' my illegal abuse tries
To please me can't stand the way you approve eyes
To sleaze me but i know the way you gonna fuck your way up to
