Steal Your Heart
03:05
|
|||
Susie's on the corner
Talking double time
She puts her hand in my pocket
Says my love's a crime
The more you try to take it
The more I want to give it all away
When you're coming back for more
The only words you're going to
hear me say….
Gonna steal your heart x2
If you had a conscience
You wouldn't treat me this way
You'll rob me blind with your smile
as you walk away
You're coming after me but you know
you won't get too far
when you're standing near me
it feels like we're miles apart
Gonna steal your heart x2
The more you try to take it
The more I want to give it all away
When you're crawling back for more
The only words you're going to
hear me say….
Gonna steal your heart x2
Well you say that my loves a crime
lock me up, I'll do the time
It's called a crime of passion baby
Gonna have to steal your heart
Nicki rents a room
in the back of my mind
she says she'll leave tomorrow
can she bum a ride?
You're coming after me but
You know you won't get too far
When you're standing me

Eyes On Top
02:26
|

Hey baby word on the street
Got your man tied down with that muscle machine
Is life real or an illusion
Broadcast in high resolution
(Chorus)
Eyes on top x2
You feel the rhythm now the beat don't stop
Eyes on top x2
Tell me baby where that bombs gonna drop
And you don't know what you don't know
Can't stop got the world in my hands
Gonna shake it till it bleeds
Gonna shoot what I can
Is life real or an illusion
Broadcast in high resolution
(repeat chorus)
Eyes on top x4
Eyes on top
Eyes on top
You feel the rhythm now the beat don't stop
Eyes on top
Eyes on top
Tell me baby where that bombs gonna drop
And you don't know what you don't know
Eyes on top x4

Anthem
02:02
|
|||
You crossed a line
That leads back to sanity
The luxury of lies
That rewrites our history
And now I know
Ive got to sing my anthem
Gonna sing it loud
Ain't backing down from nothing
In the land of hope
Lights fade on democracy
Watch the chasm grow
Devouring everything I see
when your talk is cheap
the truth stands in front of me
(chorus)
Ride the highs and lows
A ship lost to a sea of change
Let the hard wind blow
This noble shield protects me
Your silence stands for nothing
Your silence stands for nothing
Your silence stands for nothing
It's a bitter lie!

Backfire
02:10
|
|||
This situation's like nothing I've seen
Sound the silent alarm
City in darkness
Horizon in flames
There's no escape
This terror it blinds me
Ninety miles in a hundred degrees
Anchored to the sun
Animosity without the relief
Tethered by anger
Fever and terror
Swinging at shadows
Swimming in gasoline
(chorus)
Backfire Baby
Set the match to the fuse
Backfire Baby
Got nothing to lose
Read it all in a magazine
Let the motor run
Strike a match on my teeth
Watch the flames dance before me
Backfire Baby

Pale Rider Dark Horse
03:39
|
|||
Dark clouds and thunder
Forming like a plague
Could this be the end
Death rides slow
Doesn't say a word
Could this be the year
Staring at the sky while the wheels of time roll on.
Dark shadows rise, dark shadows fall
Red sirens whale to the rhythm of war
Could this the end
Could this the year
Staring at the sky while the wheels of time roll on and on and on
Pale rider dark horse
Pale rider dark horse
Pale rider dark horse
Could this be the end
Could this be the year
Pale rider dark horse x4

Who Knows Why?
03:37
|
|||
I'm looking for a reason
I just gotta know
On every page and every chapter
Another man made disaster
Now it feels like I'm losing control
Who know's why
Tell me where it goes
While you're looking for a better answer
Do you walk away, watch it fade away
Look away, look away, look away,
Leave it all alone
Don't ask me I don't know
Baby, who know's why
I need to put it all together
The missing link and the secret word
Add it up until it matters
Give me something I can measure
Don't hook what you can't hold
(Chorus)
The endless news machine
Bring's disorder to your home
You say your mind is free
As you march in line in uniform
Who knows why I can't go home.
Who knows why I don't belong here

Off My Mind
01:46
|
|||
Give me space and a little time
Off my mind
If I stray, keep me in line
Off my mind
I'm fighting every cartoon villain
No one else can see
I've tried every modern medication
Nothing works on me
When windows fail to bring in light
Off my mind
I'm fighting every cartoon villain
No one else can see
I've tried every modern medication
Nothing works on me
Keep me straight
Keep me in line
I've tried every modern medication
Nothing works on me
Off my mind
Off my mind
Off my mind

Secret Life
02:53
|
|||
A new name you have chosen
And your age you will deny
Watching others drink her poison
Masquerading through the night
(chorus)
You're living a lie with your secret life
You're living a lie you're living a lie
I'm on to you yeah girl
I see that trouble in your eyes
You're living a lie with your secret life
Little master of misfortune
Broken hearts piled high
Dry your eyes close your curtains
Keep your secrets out of sight
(chorus)

Sister Slowdown
02:09
|
|||
Hey Sister why don't you wear your glasses
And may you could see
I hear you've been skipping your classes
You'll never graduate
And now the road your traveling
Is scattered with debris
Slowdown
yeah Slowdown
Slowdown
Yeah Sister Slowdown
Last night as I stood in the doorway
You laughed and stole the keys
And now the boys are calling
On the darkest of all days
Your mother is oh so worried
Time to pump the brakes
Slowdown
Yeah Slowdown
Slowdown
Yeah Sister Slowdown

Cold Mercy
04:42
|
|||
Wild eyes awake from their slumber
A hundred years of rest
Who cut the wood and drover the beast from the forrest
where we once hid
Who killed the wolves and drove the wild from the mountain
who sold the stars in the sky
who planted noise in this once green garden
The ghost left inside
The ghost slept inside
Cold Mercy
They say when you're hurting
Cold Mercy again
Cold Mercy my friend
Tired eyes no longer remember
the sight they once held.
The fading light, the path to the river
Blood on my hands
Who walks the fields, set fire to the harvest
Who cursed the clouds in the sky
Superstition for the masses
The ghost left inside
The ghost slept inside
Cold Mercy
They sing when you're hurting
Cold Mercy again
Cold Mercy my friend
Have mercy on me
Have mercy on me
Have mercy on me
Have mercy on me
