´m in heavy I´m in deep

I look cool but inside I weep

I´m older but sure ain´t as wise

As I pretend to it´s mostly all lies

I´m a liar I´m a cheat

Sore loser can´t stand defeat

I say I´m right but I know I´m wrong

Just want my music when you´re playing your songs

I know it doesn´t show

But it´s time I let you know

Hopeless case of a kid in denial

Got my tongue firmly in cheek

Make up my mind just after I speak

I should do it but I don´t

I say I will but you just know I won´t

You like the "fabs" I dig "the Who"

You eat tikka I eat vindaloo

I only drink when I wanna forget

I won´t admit it but I do regret

I know it doesn´t show

But it´s time I let you know

Hopeless case of a kid in denial

I´m in deep I´m in real heavy

Can´t kick it even though I try

I feel sick but I don´t want you to heal me

I´m a hopeless case of a kid in denial

Yeah I´m a liar and I´m a cheat

Real sore loser can´t stand defeat

There ain´t a thing that´ll pass my rejection

Getting real close to denial perfection

I know it doesn´t show

But it´s time I let you know

Hopeless case of a kid in denial

- SOMETIMES I DON'T KNOW -

My minds I

Is looking out for number one

With reasoned rhyme

Gonna destroy and get the damage done

All or nothing want the whole nine yards

They call it safe but I will be on my guard

Dead set wanna get it gotta see the glow

But sometimes I don't know where to go

Hey there girl

You know it ain't the summer of love

Want the world

To know just what I'm thinking of

Flaming cities burning with the rock

Get kids numb by the state of shock

There ain' t no reason to get out or go down take a blow

But sometimes I don't know where to go

Who dares wins and survive

Fight Jihad against the jive

My minds I

Is looking out for number one

With reasoned rhyme

Gonna destroy and get the damage done

All or nothing want the whole nine yards

They call it safe but I will be on my guard

Dead set wanna get it gotta see the glow

But sometimes I don't know

Sometimes I don't know

Sometimes I don't know where to go

- TOYS AND FLAVORS -

Swallow up

And then go flush it down

Monday special

Get with the latest sound

So here´s a treat

Go waste it´s sweetness on the desert air

Brand new sensation

To enjoy if you care

Hey hey hey now!

But are you sure it´s what you´re looking for

So c´mon don´t be late now

It won´t be long before it´s out the door

Toys and flavors

Season saviours

C´mon devour

And cut the edges out

Baby

Hip young thing ain´t hip no more

With eagle speed buzzards feed

On crums off the fashion floor

Hey hey hey now!

Are you sure it´s what you really need

So c´mon don´t be late now

It´s a one hit guarantee

Toys and flavors

Season saviours

C´mon devour

And cut the edges out

Hey hey hey now!

But are you sure it´s what you´re looking for

So c´mon don´t be late now

It won´t be long before it´s out the door

Toys and flavors

Season saviours

C´mon devour

And cut the edges out

Toys and flavors

Season saviours

- YOU´RE TOO GOOD (TO ME BABY) -

In the morning you're the shining sun of day

You´re the only one who could get this kind of hold girl

You walked right in and you took complete control

- THROW AWAY HEROES -

Ten to one and then it's over

Executives are taking turns

Options lost in dirty water

Got a whole lot left to give but still you're burned

No one ever said it'd be easy

Got it made got to be the one

Feels so good but then it's gone

Throwaway heroes

Disposable smiles

Keep track of pats on your back

In all out style

Time to move replace the burden

Pass the gloves onto some other hands

Who's that dude I never heard of

Well he's left the building but he was the shit, he was the man

No one ever said it'd be easy

Got it made got to be the one

Feels so good but then it's gone

Throwaway heroes

Disposable smiles

Keep track of pats on your back

In all out style

Throwaway heroes

Expendable beats

From god to geek

Now someone else is in your seat

Throwaway heroes

Disposable smiles

Keep track of pats on your back

In all out style

Throwaway heroes

Expendable beats

From god to geek

Now someone else is in your seat

- NO SONG UNHEARD -

Lights are out in the street where I stand

It sure would be great to have a clock with no hands

Met a man said he was wise and in tune

Lazy Sundays turn to Mondays to soon

He said take my hand let us walk thru' that door

I said I walk with my feet and I've been thru' it before

The end is nigh son I said I suppose

If it is we must be pretty damn close

Ain't no stone unturned

No wiseguy's gonna put me down

Ain't no song unheard

But it laughs back at you now

And that might put you down

With bloodshot eyes he was letting me know

He said ten years from now I said a hundred ago

Don't you leave now I know you will fail

I said that's old news I'm sorry gotta bail

Ain't no stone unturned

No wiseguy's gonna put me down

Ain't no song unheard

But it laughs back at you now

And that might put you down

Lights are out in the street where I stand

It sure would be great to have a clock with no hands

Met a man said he was wise and in tune

Lazy Sundays turn to Mondays to soon

With bloodshot eyes he was letting me know

He said ten years from now I said a hundred ago

Don't you leave now I know you will fail

I said that's old news I'm sorry gotta bail

Ain't no stone unturned

No wiseguy's gonna put me down

Ain't no song unheard

But it laughs back at you now

Ain't no stone unturned

No wiseguy's gonna put me down

Ain' t no song unheard

But it laughs back at you now

Right back at you now

- TRUCKLOADS OF NOTHIN´ -

No way to settle when you're sleeping with the devil

And you know they're gonna figure you out

They're gonna blow your cover it's one way or another

Bet you know just what I'm talking about

You've got nothing up your sleeve now

Ain't got no miracle card

You keep on running but the end is sure coming

And you know it's gonna batter you hard

You're on the way to the bargain bin now

Going nowhere fast heading nowhere at all

Used up loose ends hang by a thread

Yesterday's news and they're not even read

You'll land a truckload of nothin´ at all

You're in the eye but the storm is gonna die

Well I don't think you're covered up for the ride

You think you've made it but you're just backdated

And you're quickly running out of style

Well I'll see you on the way down

If I remember your name

You start shaking 'cause you can't stop faking

You were never really cut for the game

Time's up and you've lost the flavor

They're done chewing now they'll spit you out

Used up loose ends hang by a thread

Yesterday's news and they're not even read

You'll land a truckload of nothin´ at all

You're on the way to the bargain bin now

Going nowhere fast heading nowhere at all

Used up loose ends hang by a thread

Yesterday's news and they're not even read

You'll land a truckload of nothin´ at all

Used up loose ends hang by a thread

Yesterday's news just as good as dead

You'll land a truckload of nothin´ at all

- A HEART WITHOUT HOME -

Such a long while now

Since my highs dropped to lows

You know the sad part is

It's starting to show

That I ain't been quite myself now

For quite a long time

What looked like a thousand bucks

Now turned out a dime

It's getting cold babe

I've been shivering for days

Not exactly lost

But I have still to find my way

As folks did before me

I guess that I'll roam

But the further I stray now

I wish things weren't so

l've got a heart without home

I sure ain't getting wiser

But I feel I'm growing old

I'm stuck here and I'm freezing

I don't know what to know

Back to where I came from

Is where I need to go

What's claimed as logic

Strike me as absurd

Down right paranoid

Might even be the word

With no method to their madness

And heavy on a roll

It will take whole lotta hard work

And a little more soul

I've got a heart without home

I sure ain't getting wiser

But I feel I'm growing old

I'm stuck here and I'm freezing

I don't know what to know

Back to where I came from

Is where I need to go

- NO ONE'S GONNA DO IT FOR YOU -

Sure as time is a teacher

Confusion makes it so hard to tell

It's bound to be hard to be her

But it seems she's the best part of hell

Astray in myladys mansion

Lost in the chambers of her heart

Blown away beyond comprehension

A love lost to magic and art

You weep and dwell on our loss

Stand denied by the nails in the cross

And I for one you for two

Knows no one's gonna do it for you

Circle of salt in the candle light

Breaks softly in the breeze

The demons stayed back by the freezing night

Guilded dawn broke through with ease

You weep and dwell on our loss

Stand denied by the nails in the cross

And I for one you for two

Knows no one's gonna do it for you

You want it bad you want it oh so much

There are some things that you should know

Some things that someone like you just cannot touch

You weep and dwell on our loss

Stand denied by the nails in the cross

And I for one you for two

Knows no one's gonna do it for you

No one's gonna do it for you

No one's gonna do it for you

- I WANNA TOUCH -

She got me burning

Got a fever and I'm feeling beat

My blood's boiling in a place so special

Between my head and feet

I got my mind made up

But a part of me is about to bust

Sweet Mary my hand's getting hairy

You know I need you oh so much, yes

I wanna touch I wanna touch

I keep looking but a picture's not enough

I wanna touch

She got me reeling

I'm getting tipsy tossing in my bed

Been rolling down this road too long

Getting fed up with that worn out spread

I want the real sweet deal

No centerfold'll make me blush

Lucille! Got a lust I wanna kill

You know I need it oh so much, yes

I wanna touch I wanna touch

I keep looking but a picture' s not enough

I wanna touch

She got me shaking

But there's no room for moving in my bunk

I'm seeing double and my pants are in trouble

I'm tired of this right hand funk

I gotta wrap it up

I'm really falling into a rut

Please Jean! I'm strung up on ephedrine

I wanna I wanna yeah yes

I wanna touch I wanna touch

I keep looking but a picture' s not enough

I wanna touch

I wanna touch I wanna touch

I wanna touch I wanna touch

- HURTIN´ TIME -

You put the hurt on me babe

I put the hurt right back

That's a lot of hurt and we're heading

Down on a nowhere track

My eye for your eye

Your tooth for my tooth

Leaves the whole world blind without teeth

And baby that's the hurtin' truth

It's hurtin´ time

Well you know it´s

Hurtin´ time

I apologise now

And wait for you to respond

Will you say you're sorry

Or will the hurtin´ times keep going on

It's hurtin´ time

Well you know it's

Hurtin´ time

A blow for a blow the biter bit

Face right down in the hurtin´ grit

Hurtin´ time

You put the hurt on me babe

I put the hurt right back

That's a lot of hurt and we're heading

Down on a nowhere track

It´s hurtin´ time

Well you know it´s

Hurtin´ time

Hurtin´ time

Hurtin´ time

- ENVIOUS -

Out of time out of tune

Born sucking on a silver spoon

Trying hard for the best

You don't come close but I can stand the test

Here's a hint here's a clue

I'm the wolf in the movie 'bout you

So pull a knife but I stand on it's edge

l'm the allegiance the one that you pledge

You wanna rise to the occation

But there's nothing to prove

You'll be two steps back

While I'm on the move

And it makes you feel

Envious - You can try but you won't nail it down

Envious - You turn it up but it don't make no sound

Envious - It's good looking at the first glance

But you' re so envious - And you don't stand a chance

You got the axe but I got the licks

I´ve got the drugs but baby you've got the ticks

You're a word not worthy a mention

I'm the teacher and you've got detention

You wanna rise to the occation

But there's nothing to prove

You'll be two steps back

While I'm on the move

And it makes you feel

Envious - You can try but you won't nail it down

Envious - You turn it up but it don't make no sound

Envious - It's good looking at the first glance

But you' re so envious - And you don't stand a chance

You pale in comparison

But what can you do

I admit it I look better beside you

You will cry as I laugh

You're a boy and l'm a man a half

You'll always be the ugly nothing and I the sweet real

I feel no pity but I know how you feel

You wanna rise to the occation

But there's nothing to prove

You'll be two steps back

While I'm on the move

And it makes you feel

Envious - You can try but you won't nail it down

Envious - You turn it up but it don't make no sound

Envious - It's good looking at the first glance

But you' re so envious - And you don't stand a chance
