The Bucket Song

It’s a long way down in the bucket
The winch screams, and creaks, the rope unwinds
It’s hard enough to know the bottom
And the rains can come at any time

So be young and take a load off today
So be young and take a load off today

The clock is wound sometimes forgotten
A quarter, half, an hourly chime
For days you’re having all your wishes
But success can’t buy you any time

So be young and take a load off today
So be young and take a load off today

The exits locked the windows boarded
Some g-man blocking the door
You’ve paid the debts that they’ve acquired
But the fuckers always wanting more

So be young and take a load off today
So be young and take a load off today

Another Day

9:45 a.m. another day, another day
I’ll try to be at home at night before 10
If there’s a way, if there’s a way
I’m sorry if my thoughts seem adrift
You know i never mean to act like this
And i’ll try not to do it again
That’s what i’ll say, that’s what i’ll say

So relax and take care
Of the things that you have near
Fear not all the times
That never seem quite clear
When a shadow seems to cover your dreams
And you wish for her to be here
Relax and take care
Of the things that you have near

I’ve changed my mind again
In certain ways, in certain ways
I hear my heart it’s calling again
To go astray, to go astray
I’m sorry if i have to give in
My whole life is sin, sin, sin
Another chapter begins,
Another day, another day

So relax and take care
Of the things that you have near
Fear not all the times
That never seem quite clear
When a shadow seems to cover your dreams
And you wish for her to be here
Relax and take care
Of the things that you have near

9:45 a.m. another day, another day

Halfway There

Making up a list
Of all the girls you kissed
And everything you did
To each and every single one
That you cared for
Maybe just an instant
Time creates a distance
Still you wonder why
They’re still around

And it’s hard to imagine now
How you’re ever gonna settle down
Make peace
With all those little angels
And all those little demons

Counting in your mind
All the different times
You’ve had the same discussions
Ignoring all the warning signs
Of destruction
Lifestyle interruption
Put onto a chain
When you only
Wanna wander around

And it’s hard to imagine now
How you’re ever gonna settle down
Make peace
With all those little angels
And all those little demons

Still you wonder
Why they’re still around

And it’s hard to imagine now
How you’re ever gonna settle down
Make peace
With all those little angels
and all those little demons

Make Peace

Making up a list
Of all the girls you kissed
And everything you did
To each and every single one
That you cared for
Maybe just an instant
Time creates a distance
Still you wonder why
They’re still around

And it’s hard to imagine now
How you’re ever gonna settle down
Make peace
With all those little angels
And all those little demons

Counting in your mind
All the different times
You’ve had the same discussions
Ignoring all the warning signs
Of destruction
Lifestyle interuption
Put onto a chain
When you only
Wanna wander around

And it’s hard to imagine now
How you’re ever gonna settle down
Make peace
With all those little angels
And all those little demons

Still you wonder
Why they’re still around

And it’s hard to imagine now
How you’re ever gonna settle down
Make peace
With all those little angels
and all those little demons

Good Evening

Good evening
Could you look at me here
Give me a moment
And lend me your ears now
I can tell by the look on your face
I know we’re probably not your taste but…

Who now
Who now
Who should regret
Who now
Who now
Who should regret

And i sit back here
And take a look at myself
Always blaming somebody else
I know well
My problems’ at heart.
I know well
That it’s mostly my fault

But I’m feeling damn good
I’ve been a sinner today
My friends will all be with me in hell anyway
And the time moves quickly
As the days move past
Who knows how long eternity will last

Who now
Who now
Who should regret

Hello dear father
Forgive me
For i might have sinned
I had impure thoughts
While i touched myself
And i questioned him

But I’m feeling damn good
I’ve been a sinner today
My friends will all be with me in hell anyway
And the time moves quickly
As the days move past
Who knows how long eternity will last

Who now
Who now
Who should regret

Poverty Wrapped Inside A Beautiful Dressing.

Poverty wrapped inside a beautiful dressing
Carry a debt is such a wonderful blessing
Single it out and find the one for stalking
Not a lot action
Just a whole lot of talking

Ooo aw ah oh oh
Ooo aw ah oh oh
Ooo aw ah oh oh
Ooo aw ah oh oh

Black in your lungs
You know you feel that you’re sinking
Not a lot action just a whole lot of thinking
Nothing can be said to make it any better
Storms right on course
And man it’s time for the weather

Ooo aw ah oh oh
Ooo aw ah oh oh
Ooo aw ah oh oh
Ooo aw ah oh oh
Ooo aw ah oh oh
Ooo aw ah oh oh
Ooo aw ah oh oh
Ooo aw ah oh oh
Ooo aw ah oh oh
Ooo aw ah oh oh
Ooo aw
Ooo aw
Ooo aw
Ooo aw

New Girl Smell

Today I woke up thinking
I started in some drinking
I’m thinking what I’m drinking about
It’s probably just a lady
One that drives me crazy
For the moment man
I have no doubt

Minutes, hours are passing
The nights and days are lapsing
Man this girl has made me a wreck
Wanna hold her closer
rub along her shoulders
And kiss her down the nape of her neck

Man I can’t tell you why I like it so well
I’m gonna spend eternity burning in hell
For that New Girl Smell

I had a couple nights
To see if things were right
Right enough to make it a night
Things are looking better
I’ve seen some clearer weather
For the moment man I have my doubts

Minutes, hours are passing
The nights and days are lapsing
Man this girl has made me a mess
Wanna hold her tightly
Whisper something lightly
Run my finger down the base of her dress

Man I can’t tell you why I like it so well
I’m gonna spend eternity burning in hell
For that New Girl Smell

Today I woke up thinking
I started in some drinking
I’m thinking what I’m drinking about
It’s probably just a lady, one that drives me crazy
For the moment man I have no doubt

Minutes, hours are passing, the nights and days are lapsing
God only knows we’d have fun
Feel a little bolder throw legs across my shoulders
And please her with the tip of my tongue

Man I can’t tell you why I like it so well
I’m gonna spend eternity burning in hell
Man I can’t tell you why I like it so well
I’m gonna spend eternity burning in hell
Man I can’t tell you why I like it so well
I’m gonna spend eternity burning in hell
for that New Girl Smell

Steal Your Smile Away

The only time I need you
Is when I’m at my darkest
The only times I miss you
Is after long departures
Now don’t you think I realize
That things ain’t alright
You keep it on the inside
With nothing to say

The times I would stay hidden
Absorbed in all my conflicts
The life that I was leading
Was nothing but a conquest
You gotta know I realize
That things ain’t alright
You keep it on the inside
With nothing to say

But don’t you wait for love
Such a waste of time
But don’t you wait for love
Such a waste of time

Let me ask a question
Well can I be forgiven
Let me hear you answer
So I can start healing
And don’t you think I realize
That things ain’t alright
You keep it on the inside
I let you see my dark side

Steal your smile away

The Neighbor Song (Single)

I never took much from the man across the street
With blank cold eyes and the preachers feet
Something never sat right with me inside
A man so pures’ got something to hide

The years went by
We each did our own thing
I’d play my music and at church he’d sing
His kids well mannered just sheltered little lambs
Little did they know what their God had planned

Late one night a door opened wide
Exposing all the skeletons Daddy hid inside
The Children heard a scream
Yea that’s what’s been said
As Daddy killed Momma laying in their bed

I guess the lesson to be learned is that god is a shield
For some of those around us trying to conceal
All the bad things we thought tucked away
But every single lord says a sinner will pay

Late one night a door opened wide
Exposing all the skeletons Daddy hid inside
The Children heard a scream
Yea that’s what’s been said
As Daddy killed Momma laying in their

Late one night a door opened wide
Exposing all the skeletons Daddy hid inside
The Children heard a scream
Yea that’s what’s been said
As Daddy killed Momma laying in their bed

Too Late (Live)

he birds are flying with their tar in tow
Ignoring people living far below
The rivers running from a blue to brown
They dream it build it, then they tear it down

The people gather to announce the blame
They cry and scream ignoring all their shame
The air grows thick and then its hard to breathe
A life of wanting, what you want you need

But it’s too late
It’s gone
It’s too late, always waiting
It’s too late

The sky will burn and then the sea will boil
The plants will all choke on the poison soil
The fish will float then the animals die
That’s just a step away from you and i

You lay your head upon a pile of ash
You feel the thunder and you hear the crash
You hope and pray that when your savior comes
That he’ll forgive you for what all you’ve done

But it’s too late
It’s gone
It’s too late, always waiting
It’s too late
