1.27th Ave Shuffle
Things are so much harder now
no matter how i try
Junkyard days and toxic waste
still love is on my mind
I can see the ledge now
Golden Gate is falling from behind
(falling from behind) (?)
well if you call this living,
I just wanna hang my head and cry
Voices in my head
telling me that I am lost
Pills and alcohol
are making me a lost cause
I can see the ledge now
Golden Gate is falling from behind
(falling from behind) (?)
Well if you call this living,
I just wanna hang my head and cry
2.Alligator
Ya alligator, ya space-invader,
ya swamp-dweller making your rounds
ya agitator, i'll see ya later
don't stand so close to my ground
ya alligator, ya space-invader
ya bottom-feeder making your rounds
ya alligator, ya space-invader,
you start your movin'
Ya alligator
Start your moving,
or get your schooling
but stop your foolin' around
ya agitator, ya trouble-maker
don't stand so close to my ground
Start your movin'
or get your schooling
but stop your foolin' around
Ya alligator, ya space-invader
you better get your movin'
Ya alligator
Ya alligator, ya space-invader
ya bottom-feeder making your rounds
Ya alligator, ya space-invader
You start your movin'
Ya alligator
3.Broadway
I, I'm just killing time now
I do it all the time now
and it's killing me
I, I polish off the bottle
I'm throwing down the throttle
Drinking gasoline
Now I'm on my way
Driving down Broadway
Wasting all my time
And I won't be late
Cause I'm on the brake (?)
So don't hesitate
Never make it out
And it's killing me
Do, Do you get the feeling?
That you've been bleeded (?)
Cause now you're bleeding me
You, You're spilling all the wine now
On Hollywood and Vine now
It's Lushotology
Now I'm on my way
Driving down Broadway
Wasting all my time
And I won't be late
Cause I'm on the brake (?)
So don't hesitate
Never make it out
and it's killing me
and it's killing me
I, I'm just killing time now
I do it all the time now
and it's killing me
I, I polish off the bottle
I'm throwing down the throttle
Drinking gasoline
Now I'm on my way
Driving down Broadway
Wasting all my time
And I won't be late
Cause I'm on the brake
So don't hesitate
Never make it out
And it's killing me
4.Dark Side Of Night
Bleeding me
though my heart is dry
This knife is a symbol
the dark side of night
Killer's on the run
with a halo of lies (flies?)
Raising the hell within us
as the angels fly
There's a rain tonight
falling from the sky
There's a liar's moon tonight,
the dark side of night
The secret chasm
hole in my heart
Fire's raging on us
burning like a scar
Made of flesh and blood
My soul's made of stone
My flame is burning out now
Darkness (nightmares?) alone
There's a rain tonight
Falling from the sky
There's a liar's moon tonight
The dark side of night
5.Mother Mary
Do you want to elope tonight
Getting lost in the shadows
All dressed up like a switchblade knife
Let's hang in love from the gallows
Or we can take a walk around the lake
There's a garden in the park there
Under the stars next to the fireside
anywhere is better than here
Oh Mother Mary, take my hand
I'll be a saint, I'll be your man
I'll do most anything, 'cause I don't care ...
Oh Mother Mary, take my hand.
Take a ride on the midnight train
We'll fall asleep at the station
Too much wine, driving me insane
And then we'll miss our destination
Oh well, too bad, who cares, it's all right.
As long as we will stick together
In hell weâll rain a rose (could be arrows) of sunshine
We'll watch it rise and shine forever
Oh Mother Mary, take my hand
I'll be a saint, I'll be your man
I'll do most anything, 'cause I don't care ...
Oh Mother Mary, take my hand.
6.Pieces Of Truth
The little pieces of truth
they stick around forever
I should have known about you
before we got together
But we did it
yeah we done it
I wonder what did i get myself into
with you
When i piece it together, baby,
I put so many holes in you
Yeah, you
Little pieces of sticks
and a bucket of stones
I'm afraid i'll be leaving you all alone
But i come back around
got some pieces of truth
Even though it won't make no difference to you-
Yeah, you
Digging trouble
with a shovel
You serve it up in so many different ways
Now i got so burned that i learned
not to hear another word that you say
But we did it,
Yeah you done it,
What the fuck did i get myself into
with you
When i piece it together baby,
I put so many holes in you
Digging trouble
with your shovel
You serve it up in so many different ways
Now i got so burned that i learned
not to hear another word -
Don't mess with the mess-around
7.Red Tide
Mary's in her hour of darkness.
Everything she feels is hopeless.
Disconnected from the dancehall.
Tripping on her heart of purple.
Is this passion or...
Or your red tide?
Faces of her bleak expression.
Taking on her town's impression.
Tis' the season's witching hour.
As the summer loses power.
Is this passion or...
Or your red tide?
Mary's breaking your kiss goodnight.
This is where her heart will not die.
Is this passion or...
Or your red tide?
8.Ruby Room
Fourteenth street, booze and swallow
I'm gonna drown my sorrow.
Dirty floors and sticky tables.
For the willing and the able.
All the zombies on a hot Friday night.
Going down to the Ruby Room.
I'm gonna meet my doom.
By the name of Rosie May.
She's the night pick of the day, yeah.
Lucky Strike and I will travel.
WooHoo
As a Pabst Blue Ribbon unravels.
WooHoo
Gonna drink my hard earned pay.
WooHoo
'Cause it doesn't matter anyway, yeah.
WooHoo
Seeing double on a one last one night stand.
Goin' down to the Ruby Room.
I'm gonna meet my doom.
By the name of Rosie May.
She's the midnight pick of the day, yeah!
Going down to the Ruby Room.
Going down to the Ruby Room.
I'm gonna meet my doom.
By the name of Rosie May.
She's the midnight pick of the day, yeah, yeah!
Going down to the Ruby Room.
Going down to the Ruby Room.

11.Stop Drop And Roll
Whoo!
Sixteen and a son of a bitch
Got a gun and a strychnine twist
Little girl on the graveyard shift
Out of control and doesn't give a shit
I don't wanna go down. I don't wanna go down.
I don't wanna go down. I don't wanna go down.
Gonna lose control!
So stop, drop, and roll.
So, baby-doll, don't you lose your touch.
You take it all cause it's never gonna take too much.
Dirty mouth and the look of death.
My tequila coming' from your breath.
Your lips are like a cherry bomb with teeth
Losing control, break my sanity.
I don't wanna go down. I don't wanna go down.
I don't wanna go down. I don't wanna go down.
Gonna lose control!
So stop, drop, and roll.
So, baby-doll, don't you lose your touch.
You take it all cause you're never gonna take too much.
Whoo!
I don't wanna go down. I don't wanna go down.
I don't wanna go down. I don't wanna go down.
Gonna lose control!
So stop, drop, and roll.
Alright!
So, baby-doll, don't you lose your touch.
You take it all 'cause you're never gonna take too...
Losing control and you lose your touch.
You take it all, 'cause you're never gonna take too much.
12.The Pedestrian
I don't need a reason to be a misfit
Whatever the reason, how far I go
When it's my time then I will let you know
It don't take a genius to be an idiot
It don't take a jesus to save my soul
Well it's my time and it's my time to go
Pedestrian is what I am
an understated samaritan
Where I go, I go alone
As long as I am taking my time
I don't know the answer to be specific
I listened to reason, the reason is true
I did my time, well, now it's time to go
