Just Like a Ghost
03:46
|
|||
|
She said I don't know why you waste your time
Nobody's even going to show tonight
Playing to another empty room
Won't even make enough to pay your dues
Nobody listens to your songs
If you're asking me they come off wrong
'Cause every time I hear you sing
It only makes me want to drink
She said change your ways
I've been thinking about cutting my hair off
Yeah I'm gonna fade away
To the downtown wind just like a ghost
Gonna find myself a new song
One that I'll never sing again
Get lost in the music
Of a place that I've never been
Gonna find myself a new girl
She won't care the shape I'm in
I won't run from your memory
'Cause it won't bring me pain again
She said change your ways
I've been thinking about moving to Tempe
Yeah I'm gonna fade away
To the downtown wind just like a ghost

Welcome Mat
03:18
|

|
Throw the page away
That's filled with pretty lines about the times
We shared
And all the simple things we used to say
Before we made up memories
You look at me
In that ugly way again
Your eyes spill lies I'm ready to drink them in
I can't take anymore
You're like a disease without a cure
Halo and a devil's kiss
Two things I'm gonna miss
When I turn around and look back on
All of this
That's when I'll see
You wipe your feet
On a welcome mat that looks a hell of a lot like me
Remember the days we were in lust?
You lied to me when you called it love
Burning our bridge at both ends
Strike a match
Well, after you my friend
Halo and a devil's kiss
Two things I'm gonna miss
When I turn around and look back on
All of this
That's when I'll see
You wipe your feet
On a welcome mat that looks a hell of a lot like me
I'll never be
What you needed
So I'll dust your shoes
In turn and set you free
You are free of me

Spanish Fly
02:58
|
|||
|
I know you're gonna let me down
I know you're gonna make me cry
You can try and pan it all off
Gonna blame it all on the Spanish Fly
Yeah you're just another red light lover
Just looking for nothing, nothing other than
A damn good time from a one night stand
No one tying you down, no one's gonna be your man
I know you're gonna let me down
I know you're gonna make me cry
You can try and pan it all off
Gonna blame it all on the Spanish Fly
I know a bit about the girls like you
Always looking for what, what they never can find
Just scratching that itch with someone new
Another void filled, another notch in the belt
I know you're gonna let me down
I know you're gonna make me cry
You can try and pan it all off
Gonna blame it all on the Spanish Fly
Little boys, tell lies
Big boys make up alibis
Little girls, tell secrets
Big girls don't know what to keep hid
I know you're gonna let me down
I know you're gonna make me cry
You can try and pan it all off
Gonna blame it all on the Spanish Fly
I know you're gonna let me down
I know you're gonna make me cry
You can try and pan it all off
Gonna blame it all on the Spanish Fly
Blame it all on the Spanish Fly
Blame it all on the Spanish Fly

The Wrong Guy
04:00
|
|||
|
Well I heard all about… your bad deal
And how you tried like hell… to make it into something real
And I heard all about… the games that he’d play
How he just hit and quit it same old bit just a different stage
Well now I’m not the one gonna break your heart
Runaround on you alone and make you cry
I’m not the kind to call that love
Baby you’ve got the wrong guy
Maybe you’ve got the wrong guy
Well I heard all about… your big day
How it was him instead of me… we’ll I guess that it’s better this way
Wasn’t he the one to… go fooling around?
You’re being trapped inside his ring and you can’t see your way out
Well now I’m not the one gonna break your heart
Runaround on you and make you cry
I’m not the kind to call that love
Baby you’ve got the wrong guy
Maybe you’ve got the wrong guy
Nights spent crying
Holding your pillow tight
Honey you can make them stop
I’ll be parked in your driveway tonight
Just be ready to start the rest of your life
Well now I’m not the one gonna break your heart
Runaround on you alone and make you cry
I’m not the kind to call that love
Maybe you’ve got the wrong guy
I’m not the one gonna break your heart
Runaround on you and make you cry
I’m not the kind to call that love
Maybe you’ve got the wrong guy
Baby you’ve got the wrong guy
Maybe you’ve got the wrong guy
We both know you’ve got the wrong...

We Ain't Fallin' in Love
03:55
|

|
Last Saturday I thought about runnin away
Cause I didn't know what life was about
The bills and the baby are both comin due
And it's bout damn time that I figured it out
Who am I? Where am I? Why am I here?
I ask before I lay me down
It's high time It's my time to make right before my time comes
To sleep beneath the ground
Hey baby do you know what I'm thinkin'
I'm thinkin' that we outta stop thinkin' so much
And now I'm thinkin' that we outta stop actin like we ain't fallin' in love
And it's just something that I'm thinkin' bout
And I'm about to stop dreamin and living with doubt
I really doubt we'll ever stop thinkin', I think we're fallin' in love
I think we're fallin' in love, I think we're fallin'!

House of Cards
03:39
|
|||
|
We’ve tried so hard to live within
A house built with cards from a losing hand
Though we tried to conceal
Our struggle was real
And we weren’t much better in the end
I folded
But you folded
Long before me
Suit don’t mean that much
When you’re running out of luck
And another draw won’t get you through the game
And if you weren’t all in
Why did you play?
It’s gonna take some time
To earn back all I lost in this one
Even if it it’s all a game
It doesn’t mean that it’s a fun one to play
No no no no
I folded
But you folded
Long before me
Well, I folded
But you folded
Long before me

Gone Girl
03:36
|
|||
|
Did you ever think
That it'd end this way?
Another romance up in smoke
You've been gambling
Impressed by anything
An easy sell and that's no joke
Well I just wanna know if you're still here
You disappeared without a trace
You don't even know if I'm alive or dead or sad
I guess you put me in my place
Where'd you go that night
After we had that fight
And I was too drunk to see your side
If I had only known
We'd still be on the phone
And I wouldn't let you say goodbye
And I just wanna know if you're still here
You disappeared without a trace
You don't even know if I'm alive or dead or sad
I guess you put me in my place
Yeah I still wanna know if you're still here
You disappeared without a trace
You don't even know if I'm alive or dead or sad
I guess you put me in my place

A Little While Longer
04:08
|
|||
|
I start to lose my grip
Out of mind reality trip
Started walking a little slower than usual
Making up words that don't exist
I wish I would have bit my tongue
For every word I said last night
Hit the bar the Jäger bomb
The Jäger talks away
Hey, we made it this far
And I said hey, it's 2 o'clock
In the morning
Hey, we made it that's far
Don't turn back now
Just talk for a little while
A little while longer
I walked up to the door
A gypsy from El Salvador
I asked her to tell me my future
She laughed and walked away
She said your time will do you better
Across the street from the Ferris Wheel
In the chapel where the old man
Will wash your sins away
Wash your sins away
Hey, we made it this far
And I said hey, it's 2 o'clock
In the morning
Hey, we made it that's far
Don't turn back now
Just talk for a little while
A little while longer
Hey, we made it this far
And I said hey, it's 2 o'clock
In the morning
Hey, we made it that's far
Don't turn back now
Just talk for a little while
A little while longer

Amy in the Rain
03:25
|
|||
|
Lost beyond confusion
Like Amy in the rain
Shelter shines like an illusion
Water running down the lane
Do you follow? Do you whisper?
Do you anything but fall?
Do you believe in going under?
Or do you believe at all?
God is great and God is good
Let us thank him like we should
Lest we forget before the fall
To give it all, give it all
Beyond recognition
Stands Amy in the rain
Never understood her mission
Water rolling down the drain
Do you want more? Do you keep up?
Do you anything but fall?
Do you believe in something bigger
Or in anything at all?
God is great and God is good
Let us thank him like we should
Lest we forget before the fall
To give it all, give it all
Would you believe the words he gave you?
Do you believe in lesser men?
Would you believe if someone told you
You could believe now and again
God is great and God is good
Let us thank him like we should
Lest we forget before the fall
To give it all, give it all
Yeah!

"Bury Me with My Money"
04:14
|
|||
|
Bury me with my money
Along with all the shit I never earned
All of the people that I've wronged
They're sending me to hell
Bury me with her tears
And all the lies that I've lived to tell
That I died to save, hell might as well
If I lived a thousand years I'd never change
Now Jesus' calling for all of the good saints to come home
The roll is called in glory and my name ain't on his scroll
Time to pay for all the sin
Too late to give a damn
But I never cared
So I sent my soul to hell
Bury me with my guns
The ones with a carving of a scorpion in the grip
My aim so true
My finger never slipped
And many fellow fell
They won't bury me with a noose
I'll kill em all before it's wrapped around my neck
I'd rather die with their hot lead in my chest
I won't be swinging from no pine
Now the devil's calling for all of his bastards to come home
The roll is called in glory and my name ain't on the scroll
Time to pay for all the sin
Too late to give a damn
But I never cared
So I sent my soul to hell
Now the fire it wraps around me
But it burns not to the bone
And Satan he is laughing
As he takes me for his own
Time to pay for all my sin
What a justified end for some son of a bitch
Who has sent himself to hell
They won't bury me with a noose
I'll kill em all before it's wrapped around my neck
I'd rather die with their hot lead in my chest
I won't be swinging from no pine
