Percy

 

Percy found a dime right below her waist

Its heaven and its hell still I want a taste

Caught me by design then she makes me wait

Longer, Longer, Longer

 

So steady with the mind until the body shakes

Been searching for the spark now I’m about to break

Takes me out of line then she makes me stay

Longer, Longer, Longer

 

Step back, heart attack

No I don’t feel something but I think I will

Step back, heart attack

Longer (just a little bit) longer

Step back heart attack

Oh, and then it hit me

 

Percy found a dime headed towards the flame

The closer that you get the more you have to chase it

Says she’ll stick around so you better make it

Stronger (just a little bit), Stronger, Stronger

 

Step back, heart attack

No I don’t feel something but I think I will

Step back, heart attack

Longer (just a little bit) longer

Step back heart attack

No I don’t feel something but I think that I will

Step back, heart attack

Oh, and then it hit me

 

Percy found a dime right below her waist

Its heaven and its hell still I want a taste

Caught me by design now she makes me crave it

Longer longer longer

 

Step back, heart attack

No I don’t feel something but I think I will

Step back, heart attack

Longer (just a little bit) longer

Step back heart attack

No I don’t feel something but I think that I will

Step back, heart attack

Oh, and then it hit me

 

Low Down


Give me some coffee or tea cause in tired of this place
Or something stronger if I have to get up again
Where worries and dreams are the same I'll slip away
Amongst liars and thieves, forgotten and he penitent

She begs me she pleads me, deceives me all In a round
Craves the attention suspension the voices so loud
Burning and busting allergic to light and the gleam
The bloodthirsty leaches, the creatures they bait and they feed

I’ll stay low down
And I know now
When I'm low down
On these streets Lord I don't feel so alone.

Push me your paper yes are you a savior or slave
Punching and crunching conspire retire then wait
For wake ups and downers and drowning while counting the days
Bask in the title surrounded by store bought names

I’ll stay low down
And I know now
When I'm low down
On these streets Lord I don't feel so alone

I’ll stay low down
And I know now
When I'm low down
On these streets Lord I'll stay
Low down and I know now
When I'm low down
On these streets Lord I don't feel so alone.

 

Subtle Lies

 

Not a villain

A stranger passing by

To love just once along the line

 

Cold heart needs a killer

She’s not the violent type

Hands across my vital signs

 

The Subtle lies

The wandering eyes

Let me know that I’m

The man on the side

 

Something’s missing

Please mind the time the clock

Or how to go,  or when to stop…or not

 

You won’t see me again

I’ve heard it once or twice

Too good to know or wonder why

 

The Subtle lies

The ties that bind

Let me know that I’m

The man on the side

 

Before the morning

Doors will open wide

Time enough to calm the room

 

The more and more I spend

I start to realize

The heart she holds is breaking, but it ain’t mine

 

The Subtle lies

The Violent kind

Let me know that I’m

The man on the side

 

The Subtle lies

The place down where I hide

Let me know that I’m

The man on the side

 

Right On Time

When your mind is cracking and your

Skin is tight

Got a two timing trapper trying to

Just get it right

 

When she comes; she comes

Right on time

 

When she comes; she comes

 

She’s coming right on time

Crack a smile, call it an early night

Wrapped up and laced in white

Come tomorrow I won’t be so [tired]

 

Candle’s burning and your

looking for a noose

Got a Pick pocket pension all you

Have to do is use

 

When she comes; when she comes

Right on time

 

When she comes; she comes

 

She’s coming right on time

Crack a smile, call it an early night

Wrapped up and laced in white

Come tomorrow I won’t be so tired

 

She’s coming right on time

Crack a smile, call it an early night

Wrapped up and laced in white

Come tomorrow I won’t be so [tired]

 

 

Wild Ones

 

Static and stoic like the blood in my veins

I get pushed back and pulled through then come round again

 

Never wanted to hold on, never needed to

After seeing what comes along when people do

Stuck between battle lines, the chains, their rules

Never wanted to hold on till I found you

 

Oh we’re the wild ones, the hard to hold

 

Came running in circles till I begged you to stand

Realized there’s a beast that’s afraid like I am

A weathered heart cracked wide like a canyon

Stretch your fingers out your hand is my hand

 

Oh we’re the wild ones, the hard to hold

Oh we’re the wild ones, you’re my wild world

 

Settle down all your suffering

It won’t do you no good no more

 

The thing about the wild there’s a burning inside

That never lasts too long

 

Oh we’re the wild ones, the hard to hold

Oh we’re the wild ones, you’re my wild world

 

Oh we’re the wild ones, the hard to hold

Oh we’re the wild ones, you’re my wild world

 

 

Something Strange

 

Howl, the winds are calling

Coming down coming down, all the winds of change

Slow, as I see you dancing

"Turn around and Turn around" said the beast to the prey

 

Tie me up to the fixtures darling

Bar me down in a cage

Let the feeling be something

Something strange

 

Smile, the mystic mountain

Time time oh time, such an ornery curse

 Lie, to make me love you

Paint the town, tear it down

Oh the push and the pull

 

Tie me up to the fixtures darling

Bar me down in a cage

Let the feeling be something

Something strange

 

Got me feeling…feeling something strange

Got me feeling…feeling something strange

 

Tie me up to the fixtures darling

Bar me down in a cage

Let the feeling be something

Something strange

 

Tie me up to the fixtures baby

Bar me down in a cage

Let the feeling be something

Something strange

 

 

Where I Belong

 

One step forward and back again

Come up until I let you down

The rush of love and the lack of it

Sweet Mary got you going ‘round

 

Tongue tied, hands to the side

Keep it ready steady carry through the night

Ain’t what you thought but I’m on your mind

 

Am I still the one, still the one

After all this time

 

Its so nice right here; right inside your arms

Its so nice right here; right where I belong

 

Tried to lure and lock me in

Understand I’ll be running wild

The taste I craved, once that I bit

Was dust rushing through my mouth

 

Tongue tied, get back to my

Ready steady woman riding through the night

Ain’t what I thought, But your on my mind

 

Am I still the one, still the one

After all this time

 

Its so nice right here; right inside your arms

Its so nice right here; right where I belong

 

Am I still the one, still the one

After all this time

Am I still the one, still the one

Can I get it right

 

Its so nice right here; right inside your arms

Its so nice right here; right where I belong

 

 

Hard on the Heart

 

Shake me

Bend me and mistake me

Put wine in a bottle I'll play my part

Hard on the body hard on the heart

 

Waiting

Get up; get on out or stay

Leave here wanting or come back on top

Hard on the body hard on the heart

 

I can’t fight the rage

The pleasure and the pain

You feed the need to please in every way

 

It’s a game and it’s an art

That’s hard on the body hard on the heart

 

Tidal wave

Painted picture a backlit canopy

try to dive but I’m already sunk

Drown in the water, drown till I’m drunk

 

Shamelessly

Knee deep in your fantasy

To stay up late collecting battle scars Its hard on the body hard on the heart

 

I can’t fight the rage

The pleasure and the pain

You feed the need to please in every way

 

It’s A game and it’s an art

Ending where it starts

It’s hard on the body hard on the heart

 

I can’t fight the rage

The pleasure and the pain

You feed the need to please you every day

 

It’s a game and its an art

Ending where it starts

I crawl I need to be there where you are

 

It’s an art and it’s a game

Can’t win but we play

It’s hard on the body hard on the heart

 

 

No More

 

Made up my mind when you walked on out the door

Mouth it stings from the bar room, only light left in the cold

You took your time, took our money and you left me with the rest

Spent my life on this killing floor just waiting for you to change

 

No More

 

Left alone with my poison, the how’s the why’s and the when’s

Cars they pass by my doorstep while I’m stuck here standing still

Built this house, I built this home never knowing then who I am

All the while you would cut me down; Oh just because you can

 

No More

 

Don’t be surprised when you run on back to find a cold and empty bed

And all the gold from your fingertips turn to smoke and ash and led

All your lies; all your schemes, all made me believe

You’re the church, no one can save me, why the hell would I ever leave

 

No More

 

Step outside and stay a while and we’ll forget all about the pain

All this time on the killing floor just waiting for you to change.

 

No More

 

 

Before Long

 

737 couldn’t bring her down

Ain’t no use in guessing her mind’s already made up

So shy, gypsy smile

Ain’t it time to take a little bit and take off

 

She ain’t looking at nobody else

Here’s some help and a little bit of poison

 

Slow ride is on the rise

Is this love or blood rushing out of control

Amplify the flashing lights

Prefers electro music but she don’t mind the rock and the roll

 

You never been the kind to turn the tide

Too late to question. Move faster move faster hop on

 

What you gonna do when she’s rolling

Dancing all over the floor

Boy you better get her back to your place before long

 

All you ever needed to know is know is

All she wants is someone to hold

Boy you better get her back to your place before long

 

What you gonna do when she’s rolling

Dancing all over the floor

Boy you better get her back to your place before long

 

All you ever needed to know is know is

All she wants is someone to hold

Boy you better get her back to your place before long
