1. Redemption Blues
Good God, it must have been the poison
that left a hole where my senses once were.
Someone should have seen this comin'
So tell your friends keep their hands
where I can see them
I'm going nowhere
It's safe to say that I'm going nowhere
These bones of mine are dressed to kill
I traded all my absolution in for chasers
Blackout in the red room
and I still carry the scent on my fingers
I made myself what I am now
& I lost myself
Good God it must have been the poison
that left a hole where my senses once were
(We're hangin' out by the gallows pole.
We're hangin' out at the end of the rope)
2. Straight Into Your Grave
Tellin' lies as I look in their faces
I've got it all but I could always use some more.
And all these promises, that have been broken,
I know it hurt you, but you must have seen the truth
So you've been lookin' for answers baby
I never told you a thing
Still you keep searchin' like a dog on fire
Straight into your grave
You try to run though you knew that I'm faster
I tell you truthfully you'll never get away.
3. Youngblood
He is cool & pretty old school
he learned to read between the lines
& he carved the things he's seen
into his skin
They say he's been around forever
I'm pretty sure he taught the devil
to steal, and somewhere down the
line... they cut a deal
So let go of the things you never
seem to find
and the ones that will never be
around in time
It's only dirt when you're panning for gold
Let go of the things that never seem
to shine
Youngblood, you missed it by a second
this time.
It's only dirt when you're panning for gold
Youngblood, full of piss & vinegar
the flaming youth will be the death of you
So got tell the world the things you've seen
He made the good lord second guess
the things close to his chest
So don't start a fight
Cause his shoes are way too big
for you to fill.
It goes on & on & on...
4. There Goes A Lady
Here she comes, shipwrecks and all
death + corruption rings out through her call
tangerine coloured, sweet as can be
devoured by the watery sea
There goes a Lady, there she goes on her own
there goes a Lady... with death in tow right behind
We've been climbing these mountain like waves
our sons & daughters are lost to the deep
Sail on, a wiser man, and save our souls from
the dark blue sea
Cause she whispers so sweet, while flashin' her teeth
we follow her, like moth to the flame
and they said, they said
"It's not what it seems, cause death comes at
the end of her song!"
All I ever wanted was to be in her arms
all I ever wanted was to get high
5. Show And Tell
Down in a hole,
I found a damn good believer
He said: "listen up son,
you see, my head's a receiver.
"So stay off the path,
make sure you're under the radar.
They know where you live.
You're up against your redeemer"
Well they stole it all away,
they know you well
And you gave them all you had
for show & tell
Someday you're gonna give yourself away.
Save ma a line,
I need a quick reliever
all of your lies,
you made me a believer
Cold & alone
well I've been sold down the river
You promised us gold
It is bout time you delivered
6. Cards With The Devil
Midnight, they reanimate
the living dead knock on my door
The flames of hell eat my curtains alive
& the reaper's coming back once more
But all in all it ain't so bad
I'm still one of a kind
And I've been wastin' my chances one by one
Yeah I played cards with the devil &
man... he won!
The gravedigger got his eye on me
He carved my name with his bony hand
The footsteps in the hall
are makin' me feel uncomfortable
and I am runnin' out of sand
All in all it ain't so bad
I'm still one of a kind
It might get bad, but I've been worse
and I'm the last of my kind
7. Pretty Little Sunshine
Hey Mary, you're quite a pretender
and I'm sure it's gonna get you far
You suited up and took em all to court
just to show them who's the goddamn star
You drive me out of my mind
pretty little sunshine
light headed, dancin' on the edge of the knife
Hey Jenny, I love your conspiracy
I'm sure they got a file on you
They tapped into your wire, and traced down
every single life you ever lead
They got you hooked on, nailed down,
locked up in a cellar... they pinned a number on you
See just because, you're paranoid, doesn't
mean that they're not after you
You blow me away
8. The Open Sea
Hold your head under water
as you reach across the sky.
Tell your friends not to worry
No one's gonna die
But it's all I have to give...
Down below underneath us,
the endless & the cold
Wrap your arms round your loved ones
and pray that morning comes
Cause it's all that you can give
All out of time
We pray this is finally over
All out of time
There's no grace in these waters
no hope, no hand of God
This is all...
(You are the only one for me
everything I need)
9. This Ends Here
Howdy boys, anchors aweigh,
burn the map & let's be on our way
We're gonna sail at break of day
So drink away
I will be the undertow
drag their crew down, rats & all
We'll leave the bones for Davy Jones
down in the deep.
Tell them all: This ends here!
tell them we are crossing Rubicon
All we are, we are all.
Someone has to make a stand
A firm grip & a steady hand
Hold fast, yer crooked mast
We'll shoot the albatross to spite them
we're black as coal
The devil sure knows how to row
So roll them bones, hand over your soul
We'll leave the bones for Davy Jones
down in the deep
10. The King Is Dead
Down on your knees, beggin' them please
but there's no getting round them
They are pullin' you down, grinning a frown
still you welcome them in.
Twistin' & turnin', your head is on fire
you're burnin'
Over the edge tell me where does it end
No one can save you, you're out on a bend
The best of our years have faded away
Her Majesty's lost her senses
"The King is dead, so bring me his head"
She will bury us all
This is the end of all days
This is the edge of the night
Black waters, red rivers
Raining fire
