3.Kerosene

1st verse
Ever see that damn thing, that burned out shell
For a little while that trailer must a seemed like hell

Chorus
If kerosene works why not gasoline
If kerosene works why not gasoline

2nd verse
Kids wore rags, he never worked too much
Who's the judge to decide how this world can punish

Chorus
If kerosene works why not gasoline
If kerosene works why not gasoline

3rd verse
Now the welfare check won't pay for the electricty
wonder who the jury was decided they were all guilty

Chorus
If kerosene works why not gasoline
If kerosene works why not gasoline

4th verse
Fire started 'bout 3am you know none of 'em would survive
They hated that goddamn trailer so it burnt 'em up alive

Chorus
If kerosene works why not gasoline
If kerosene works why not gasoline

5th verse
In a pure perfect world that tells no lies,
Burn you down you try to...improvise

Chorus
If kerosene works why not gasoline
If kerosene works why not gasoline
If kerosene works why not gasoline
If kerosene works why not gasoline

6.Gravity Fails

Look at me, I'm Mr. Spaceman
Out of control again
Stumbling over words again
And finished before I even begin

Well gravity fails and I'm falling down
Glued to the ceiling, spinning around
Well that's when I'm counting on you

Calling you my better half was always good for a laugh
But it's not always such a laugh when I think that you're not
coming back

Well gravity fails and I'm falling down
Glued to the ceiling, spinning around
Well that's when I'm counting on you

I know I'm asking for too much
And I know I'm always saying stuff
And I mess up so much stuff
And sticking with the fool is tough

But baby I'm sayin', please, please, please
Down on my baby blue blue jeans
Maybe it's something in my jeans
Maybe it's something in my genes

Gravity fails and I'm falling down
Glued to the ceiling, spinning around
Well that's when I'm counting on
That's when I'm counting on, yeah
That's when I'm counting on you

12.Smokin' 100's Alone

She's smoking 100's alone
Thinking 'bout the man that done her wrong
happy that she kicked him out but sad that he is gone
she's smoking 100's alone
another cup of coffee down the hatch
another cigarette as soon as she finds a match
feeling more like a loser as each minute drags on
she's smoking 100's alone
everytime it ends up this way she says she is learned her lesson
this time is he gone to stay she's getting tired of guessing
then she looks at his dirty laundry down the hall
where's he at why hasnât he called
he's got to know she'll take him back she's sitting by the phone
smoking 100's alone
yea she is smoking 100's alone
