2.Blue Collar Suicide
Well I guess I could have run away
When I saw that look in her eyes
But she brought me to my knees
Before I had time to realize
But I wished I'd never turned
To see her smile at me
But she lured me to her lair
With all the things she promised me
And if I could ...
You know I would .. Run away
Right Now!!
I can't sleep cause she snores like a chain saw
And I can't eat cause she can't cook
I can't write cause she's got all my inspiration
And she can't count all the pills I took
She threw a leash around my neck
And started spending all my money
I ate her cooking night and day
Even though I thought it tasted funny
She's got me trapped inside her house
Days and nights and holidays
No escape was to be found
I tried a thousand billion ways
And if I could ...
You know I would ..
Run away
Right Now!!
I can't sleep cause she snores like a chain saw
And I can't eat cause she can't cook
I can't write cause she's got all my inspiration
And she can't count all the pills I took
All the pills I took
All the pills I took
All the pills I took
All the pills I took
All the pills I took
Well I guess I could have run away
When I saw that look in her eyes
But she brought me to my knees
Before I had time to realize
But I wished I'd never turned
To see she smiled at me
But she lured me to here lair
With all the things she promised me
And if I could ...
You know I would ..
Run away
Right Now!!
I can't sleep cause she snores like a chain saw
And I can't eat cause she can't cook
I can't write cause she's got all my inspiration
And she can't count all the pills I took
I can't sleep cause she snores like a chain saw
And I can't eat cause she can't cook
I can't write cause she's got all my inspiration
And she can't count all the pills I took
All the pills I took
All the pills I took
All the pills I took
All the pills I took
All the pills I took
3.Mekong
Barkeep
Another Mekong please
Yes of course, you can keep the change
A new glass here for this new friend of mine
Forgive me, I've forgot your name
Flip a coin
What shall we talk about
Heads I tell the truth
Tails I lie
I came all the way
From Taipai today
Now Bangkok's pouring rain
and I'm going blind again
And I ain't seen my girl
in fifteen thousand miles
Is it true
It's always happy hour here
If it is I'd like to stay a while
And as cliche as it sounds
I'd like to raise another round
And if you bottles empty
Help yourself to mine
Thank you for your time
And here's to life
Barkeep
We need to go around again
One for me and what's his name
My new best friend
Deal me in
And I'll pick my cards up off the floor
I'll see my lucky coin
And raise a pack of lies
Smile to the girl at the door
Another 4 dollar whore
But don't look her in the eyes
She'll break your heart
We came all the way
From Taipai today
Now Bangkok's pissin' rain
and we're going blind again
And I ain't seen my girl
in fifteen thousand miles
Is it true
It's always happy hour here
If it is I'd like to stay a while
And as cliche as it sounds
I'd like to raise another round
And if you bottles empty
Help yourself to mine
Thank you for your time
And here's to life
Is it true
It's always happy hour here
If it is I'd like to stay a while
And as cliche as it sounds
I'd like to raise another round
And if you bottles empty
Help yourself to mine
Thank you for your time
And here's to life
4.Down Together
We could write our names here in the mud
No one's around to see them
We could hang our shoes right here in a tree
No one's around to steal them
I could give you a star
You could give me one too
That way we'd be even
And I could sing this song way out of tune
And not care a bit about it
We could both wear cowboy hats
And pretend to speak Italian
Well I could eat some gum
And make my breath so minty fresh
To kiss you
Your breath will smell like wine
I like that a lot
Especially when I kiss you
And I could hit my funny bone really hard
And you could call me sweetheart
And who ever said there's nothing new under the sun
Never thought much about individuals
But he's dead anyways
So lets go down together
Down together
Down together
Together
Lets go down together
Down together
Down together
Together
We could all wear ripped up clothes
And pretend that we're Dead Hot Workshop
I could drive long long way
And not even have the gas to make it
We could chase our shadows around
Till we're both exhausted
I could forget the words just one more time
and hope that none of you notices
And who ever said there's nothing new under the sun
Never thought much about me
What's good for you is good for me
And what's bad for you is bad for me
What's good for you is good for me
And what's bad for you is bad for me
Cars break and people break down and other things break down too
So lets go down together
Down together
Down together
Together
Lets go down together
Down together
Down together
Together
5.Carefree
Don't mean no harm
No cause for alarm
My hands are tied behind me
It's well known
The way you've grown
So come sit down beside me
If I told you once
I told you once
And once is all that you needed
Just let me hear
What you got to hear
Well I can take care of everything
And I can pick for you
The songs that you sing
And the sights that you see
Now don't mind me
I'm carefree
Calm down she said
Lie back your head
Your voice is sounding hysterical
Your face is red
And you reasoning dead
You sound nonsensical
Something you got to hear
Let me make myself clear
Your not the first to get physical
Take your pill
And you might feel a chill
Well I can take care of everthing
And I can pick for you
The songs that you sing
And the sights that you see
Now don't mind me
I'm carefree
And I will always keep the upper hand
And I can change your angry young man
To a fashion show
With brand name clothes
I'm carefree
Well I can take care of everthing
And I can pick for you
The songs that you sing
And the sights that you see
Now don't mind me
I'm carefree
And I will always keep the upper hand
And I can change your angry young man
To a fashion show
With brand name clothes
I'm carefree
6.Nada
I see the lightning
From the storm down in Mexico
I see my speedometer doesn't work
I cross the desert
Disappear into the tumbleweeds
I tip the bottle and bite the lime
I hear the thunder
From the storm down in Mexico
I leave the border far behind
I feel the dust coat my teeth
And turn my face to mud
I tip the bottle and bite the lime
There is no moral to this story at all
Everything I tell you
Very well could be a lie
Been away from the livin'
Don't need to be forgivin
I'm just waiting for that cold black soul of mine
to come alive
I feel the wind blow
From the storm down in Mexico
Gasoline for another hundred miles
I cross the river
And leave my shoes up on the other side
I leave the border far behind
There is no moral to this story at all
Everything I tell you
Very well could be a lie
Been away from the livin'
Don't need to be forgivin
I'm just waiting for that cold black soul of mine
to come alive
I feel the rain drops
From the storm down in Mexico
Truck will go no further
Out of gas
I cross the desert
With the lizard and rattlesnake
There is no moral to this story at all
Everything I tell you
Very well could be a lie
Been away from the livin'
Don't need to be forgivin
I'm just waiting for that cold black soul of mine
to come alive
7.Interstate
Well it doesn't matter
There aren't no back seat found
Take it further
It doesn't matter
Well out here on the border
Ants drag bones across the hot dry ground
Told me there at the trailer park
They got a million souls at the lost and found
Well you should have known better
Dead thoughts and lost horizons
And to take it further
It don't get any better
Well out here on the border
Ain't nobody asking questions
No I don't need a miracle
But I could use a push in the right direction
Handgun and a bottle of Boons
and a '69' Ford and a new pair of shoes
Left from Boise Idaho 95
So when they crossed the state line
They were just in time to fall
Asleep at the wheel
Last back doesn't matter
Never was no back seat found
And to take it further
It never really matters
Well out here on the border
Ants drag bones across the hot dry ground
Told me there at the trailer park
They got a million souls at the lost and found
Handgun and a bottle of Boons
And a '69' Ford and a new pair of shoes
Left from Boise Idaho 95
So I was just in time to miss
The 5:00 o'clock news
Velvet black Interstate is something that appeals to me
5:99 and a stone cold feelin'
I was feelin' just fine
And when i crossed the state line
I was just in time
To fall asleep at the wheel
8.Suckerpunch
Never gave thought to fashion till
Someone said I looked like you
Never gave thought to passion till
Someone said I screw like you
Baby I was never cool enough
To get a job at a record store
But if I had I wouldn't want you anymore
Never gave thought to rash'in till
Someone said I had a rash like you
Never gave thought to mashin' till
Someone said I mashed like you
Baby I was never cool enough
To get a job at a record store
But if I had I wouldn't want you
Wouldn't want you...

9.Girly
I'm going to the hardware store
And buy you a great big hammer
Girly won't you pull these nails out of my heart
And I'm goin' to the sporting goods store
And buy you a really heavy baseball bat
Girly won't you knock these thoughts out of my head
Beat me till I'm black and blue
And I'm hangin' by a thread
And I can get back up
And we'll do it all over again
I'm goin' to a liquor store
And buy you a really big bottle
Girly won't you pour some light into my life
Then I'm goin' to the firearms store
And buy a really big hand gun
Girly won't you blows these thoughts
Out of this head of mine
Beat me till I'm black and blue
And I'm very nearly dead
And I'll get back up
And we'll do it all over again
Again Again Again
First verse is the same as the first!
I'm going to the hardware store
And buy you a great big hammer
Girly won't you pull these nails out of my heart
And I'm goin' to the sporting goods store
And buy you a really big baseball bat
Girly won't you knock these thoughts out of my head
Beat me till I'm black and blue
And and my body's bloody red
And I'll can get back up
And we'll do it all over again
10.Banditos
Just how far down do you want to go
We can talk it out over a cup of joe
And you can look deep in my eyes
Like I was a super-model
Uh huh
It's just you and me baby
No one else we can trust
We'll say nuthin to no one
No how or we'll bust
Never crack a smile or flinch or cry
For nobody
Uh huh
So give you ID card to the border guard
Your alias says you Captain John Luke Picard
Of the United Federation of Planets
Cause they won't speak english any ways
Everybody knows that the world is full of stupid people
So meet me at the mission at midnight
We'll divvy up there
Everybody knows that the world is full of stupid people
So I got the pistol
So I get the Pesos
That seems fair
We'll put the sugar in the tank of the sheriff's car
We'll slash the deputy's tires
They won't get very far
When they finally get the word that there's been a hold-up
Uhuh
Everybody knows that the world is full of stupid people
So meet me at the mission at midnight
We'll divvy up there
Everybody knows that the world is full of stupid people
So I got the pistol
So I get the Pesos
That seems fair
That seems fair
11.Mexico
Here comes another song about Mexico
I just can't help myself
I lost my old lady
Got my lures
Got my bobbers
Now I'm gonna go
Got off in the wrong direction
Found a hooker and lost my erection
So I had to lie
In the letter to the boys back home
Now the good guys and the bad guys
Never work past noon around here
They sit side to side in cantinas
Talk to senoritas
And drink warm beer
Here comes the same old verse about Mexico
We just can't help ourselves
We lost our old ladies
Got our lures
Got our bobbers
Now we're gonna go
Got off in the wrong direction
Found some hookers and lost my erections
And we had to lie
In the letter to the boys back home
So the good guys and the bad guys
Never work past noon around here
They sit side to side in Cantinas
Talk to senoritas
And drink warm beer
So the good guys and the bad guys
Never work past noon around here
They sit side to side in Cantinas
Talk to senoritas
And drink warm beer
12.Don't Wanna Know
Ghost town on a Tuesday night
That ok I'm feelin' alright
It's easier to grab a beer
Without a thousand people here
Talkin' to a friend of mine
Ask him man
He'll say he's just fine
Talk of songs and inspiration
Dreams and financial desperation
I wonder where I'll be in a year
Probably be sittin right here
But if you know the answer
Don't tell me anyone
I don't wanna know
Well I don't wanna know
We've been saying we're going go somewhere
For a long long time
Nothing ever happens
Why's it never happen
Ya We've been prayin' we're going get somewhere
For a long long time
But it never happens
Why's it never happen
I wonder where I'll be in a year
Probably be sittin right here
But if you know the answer
Don't tell me anyone
I don't wanna know
Cause I don't wanna know
