1. Innocence & Time

Somehow young, somehow free
Well, that's changing quick
Roll with the punches, it's what it is,
That might do the trick

Rebellion is a young man's game
But who can find the time?
At least a reason to try
Isn't life just mighty fine

Let's drink a toast to innocence
Let's drink a toast to time
We may be losing both
But we're feeling mighty fine

Do you remember the day
Do you still know when it hit
That you're no more invincible
That this just might be it?

At some point it's not
About believing anymore
You just give all you got
To escape the big bad bore

Let's raise a glass to times bygone
Let's raise a glass to now
Let's raise a glass to the way things turned
Because they did it anyhow

2. Count Me In

The shit you do is drawing parasites
And your ridiculous mom believes they're butterflies
Your dad isn't cool with your plans
Get a label, tour, support from your fans

You know the ways to beat the bad from a comic book
Though the suits are cool you feel attached to the crook
You remember what Jesus said
Now you're wearing black singing songs of making love to the dead

Not much of a well raised kid is left
Long gone is the yesteryear man

It's about to happen
I'm the man for it
I don t care what happens
As long as you count me
You can count me in

Your might is growing with each infamous
And your array stays loyal
Your tails close up in the magazine
Your deeds discussed on the TV screen

You can count me in

3. Muzzle & Blinkers

Stumbling through the side street
Butt naked and excessively bleeding
Checking coordination
Feels like I'm walking in circles

I'm a one man parade for this lazy town
I've got a story to tell
Dancing with the tribes down in Africa
I've been singing with the whales

Now here I'm creeping with a fools cap
Butt naked and excessively bleeding
Can't repress my yearning
I'm alive and not half way done

Deep down inside they all know
No one could stop me from crawling
Deep down inside they all know
My plans will keep me from falling

You wanna know, you wanna know!
You wanna know what drives me
It's a muzzle and blinkers
Muzzle and blinkers

I'm gonna go, I'm gonna go
I'm gonna go much further
With my muzzle and blinkers
Muzzle and blinkers

I filially reached the suburbs
Still naked and excessively bleeding
Stars are up to guide me
Feels like I'm losing my burden

4. Superhuman Mission

My blood freezes in my veins
My shirt is soaked with sweat
Nothing to fear, nothing to lose
I'm on a superhuman mission

It 's 100% proof true, a sugar coated pill
You came here for a reason
I know how to serve you because you deserve to
Join the superhuman mission

Each night for love and Rock'n'Roll
Until the living wake us up
It's time to...

This is an invitation
And now it's up to you
Being about it, not talking about it
Makes you a superhuman

My hands are shaking as the sun comes up
Each muscle worked the whole night
Nothing to give unless I can live
For the superhuman mission

Once the troublemakers yelled that love is blue
A tattooed freak with tears in his eyes
There comes a day when everyone says
We're on a superhuman mission

5. Cut Loose

The impact nearly killed
Because I got too high
Yeah, I'll be back on top
In a blink of an eye

Damned if I don't, damned if I do
Trading hats full of rabbits
For some flesh to chew

Shut your mouth when the lights go out
Save the cheers for the flashing spotlights, baby
An entertainer, an entertainer
Cut loose from purpose

Don't I look like Elvis
In a fucked up way
The buzz of a blowfly steals my mind
Sounds like a dream of better times

Last drop in that bottle
Says move your ass
Life is not sugar frosted

I want. I'll get
And I might succeed
A lucky streak, and I need to force it

6. Any Colour You LIke (As Long As It's Black)

The glass half empty, filled with piss
Self-fulfilling prophecies
Zone in, negative, down the hole
Frustration, fatigue taking their toll

Laughing too hard at every single smile
See the black dog rising all the while
I shall go on 'til the end, I shall never surrender

I can give you any colour you like
As long as it's black
I will feed you any colour you like
As long as it's black
Take my hand and take a trip with me
Drag you down to hell lo see
Any colour you like as long as it's black

Block the sun, push back the one
Stuck in muddy water, yeah, the thrill is gone
Careful what you wallow in, Mr. Cynical Fuck
Can't enjoy all you have? You're shit out of luck

7. Burning D

He was brilliant tonight
You can hear the packed arena roar
Through screams and shouts no one could bear
His bones as they trashed onto the floor

He feels as broken as a man could be
Half sleeping in a in a fucked up van
And he doesn't know the next stopover
On the journey of his life

But never never, never
He thought of coming home again
And never, never, never
His mask will drop

Don't call him ugly, he's got sex appeal
Don't call him broken, he's as hard as steel
Don't judge his strength until we count to three (1-2-3)
Don't call him Dave, his name is Burning D

If he had been involved in creating
A man who can heat up the moon
He would have chosen golden bracelets
Red shorts and flames along his boots

Are there any of the friends he used to have
Wathing him on pay-per-view
He doesn't miss a thing he says
But to give his dad a call is long overdue

8. Not Quite That Simple

You like'em quiet, no big talkers
Hassle free walk the walkers
You like'em straight up, mind made up
Face value kings, no second-thoughters

Caveman charm raises no alarm
Let sleeping dogs die at our funny farm
Wild man candy rocks, should never talk
Skeletons sleeping, closet is locked

You just wail and see arid I'll just let you be
You'll never go far, if you never go deep
It's not quite that simple
It's not quite that simple

Incommunicado, I'm getting desperado

Testosterone toys don't speak & destroy
Comfort zone homies for that lightheaded joy
Smooth surface sailing, what a pleasure trip
Who rocks the boat is going clown with the ship

Ronnie's mom said "be a simple kind of man"
Well, I try my best but I'm not sure I can
So hush now. better not talk
Skeletons sleeping, closet is locked

It's all dear to you. just do it, you say
But I'm not a mindreader

9. Sharkpool

I'd be the first to say it
I look the bait and ate it
Tried the dive
And thought I'd made it

Started swimming;
With the crooks and liars
Shouldn't have gotten in the water
But my world was on tire

I'm not worried
By selling your stories I'm writing mine

Keep my tool in thesharkpool
Look who's laughing now
Another round in the sharkpool
Said and done. I've had my fun
I'll be your Chief Brody if you try to bite
Leave you circling in your dirty little sharkpool

King shark's trying to play me
All teeth, all smiles
Fish smells from the head down
Let her circle a while

Took my walk on amity island
Things got fishy pretty quick
Homo sapiens leaves the water
Staying human does the trick

Oh, don't worry
By writing my story I'm selling yours

Get out of the water

10. The Unexpected Truth

You'll never touch it if you beg
Some broken bones will be realty all that's left if you grab
And so your hero turns his back
On all your comrades, on the pack and fucked up rats

Instead of leaving you keep up
No time to run, no time to bide from flashing lights
Now you've achieved a cosy dream
I blew my blues harp in a way that touches me

My inner voice begins to speak
Look
Twice
I'm not that hardcore

On and on
You might believe this man is real now
Make sure he never really bites down
Now hear the unexpected truth

On and on
Tlirough all the smoke it's just a rock show
Go on with screaming from the first row
And hear the unexpected truth

Not all I reaped is what I sowed
Not all I saw is whal I wanted to possess
A scar's a wound and it once bled
And just like you 1 felt the pain, the hurt and the threat

And now I'm down upon my knees
Look
Twice
I'm not an icon

An addict was born for what an addict was born to do

11. One Thing I Know

I was impressed how you expressed your soul so true
I was listening to your songs a million times now
Baby here's a song for you

It's almost kind of weird to come up with this now
But if I wouldn't shout it out I guess I'd trick my heart somehow

You probably should know that all the ache is gone
It made me what I am, happy with my flaws.
I get my duties done

I send kisses to your neck
Just like I did
I say till the end of time
Cause we believed

One thing I know '
Is it you pick up a pen
And write rhymes again
It's for someone else but not me

One thing I know
Is that we're worlds apart
In the depth of your heart
You think of someone else but not me

Now please don't get me wrong even though I was accused
I'm glad I chose the way I've chosen at the dead end of the road
Now how about you?

Thinning hair, double chin
Cellulites within
A tune sounds like a cough
Is it really you?

Hips are double sized
Men are paralyzed
Every time you walk by
Is it really yon?

12. Antidote

Right on
Even though the road is winding
Downhill
It doesn't matter anymore

Wide eyes
Even though the lights are blinding
Stare on
And fade it all to black

You make a man so goddamn different
You make a man so goddamn high
Ice cold, lukewarm
And we're always eye to eye

And you may pave the way to hell
And you will follow me, follow me
And you may block my path again
And you will carry me, carry me

Right on
Even though the snake is biting
My provision is my antidote
Can't help
Falling down when I get higher
No fear
As long as I fall down on you

You make a man so goddamn twisted
You make a man so goddamn tough
Behind the scenes, obviously
And we're always eye to eye

Oh, what a rush
Oh, how self destructive
Oh, what a rush
Oh, how self destructive

Gimme more, more, more
