Why would I walk when I can ride
Why make a fuss when I can let it slide
Not gonna settle for a tie
Why cash out when you can let it ride
No second thoughts when you’re hell-bound
No looking back when the pedal’s down
Not gonna stay in this old town
Why put down roots when you can get around
I’m a Live Wire
I’m a Live Wire
I’m a Live Wire
I’m a Live Wire
Can't bring me down when I get high
No ugly truth can’t beat a lovely lie
Head to head and pound for pound
When things pick up I’m gonna lay it down
I’m a Live Wire
I’m a Live Wire
I’m a Live Wire
I’m a Live Wire

Pipes and Spoons

Gather round let the judgement come
Pick up your stone like we all have done
Good book says to hang ‘em high
can’t afford to eat with all the the rope we buy
Lock and chain, tried and true
As long as those rules don’t apply to you
Right and wrong no in between
Pipes and spoons and kerosene
Build those walls up to the sky
Gotta get ahead or be left behind
It’s a wicked world but we’ll make it free
With swords and flags and family
Now the fire won’t die and the smoke won’t clear
But the reasons why have disappeared
Right and wrong no in between
Pipes and spoons and kerosene
The Devil you know is the one you choose
Smiling back at you from the TV news
They sell the cure to their disease
But it’s just their word, not a guarantee
Right and wrong no in between
Pipes and spoons and kerosene

Thought I Heard You Say
02:44

On your own, but you’re not at home
Where you live you’re just passing through
Going out at night ‘til the early light
Staying up until it’s fallen through
Thought I heard you say
Thought I heard you say
Left out on the scene
Hangin out on the in between
Thought I heard you say
A wink and a grin is the tale that you spin
And you swear that the story’s true
You can laugh out loud, but don’t be proud
‘Cause I know it don’t belong to you
Thought I heard you say
Thought I heard you say
Left out on the scene
Hangin out on the in between
Thought I heard you say
On the nose and your gums are froze
Can’t tell you’re moving til you’re standing still
Been too long the first time’s gone
Now you’re looking for a brand new thrill
Thought I heard you say
Thought I heard you say
Left out on the scene
Hanging out on the in between
Thought I heard you say

Flick that hair back
Pretty little thing don’t need to have the
Answers no no
Long as you got the goods they’ll give it
To you but do you
See just where you’ll stand when you ain’t
Leaning no more
On all you think that’s deep but’s just a line
You won’t fool no one this time
Sticks and stones can’t
Break what words have built around you
Livin within
The castle that you’ve made but now the
Tide’s in it’s risin’
Bringing with it everything you
Thought you got through
With just your wits alone but now you’ll find
You can’t fool no one this time
Seems that she means it
Daddy’s little girl’s got needs she thinks she’s
Hiding smiling
Throwin them off the trail but now the
Time’s in you’re findin’
All the shine and ain’t she fine that
You owned they loaned
Now your bill’s come due and you can’t hide
You won’t fool no one this time.

Write You A Letter
03:22
|
|||
Got a pocket full of nothing new
every sun comes up the same
Drag your toes through the painted field
til you hear them calling out your name
Hanging out with jokers and fools
hoping that you’ll look like a king
Clench your knuckles white but you missed
that your fists can’t hold a thing
Gonna write you a letter
Gonna lay it lay it out line by line
Gonna Write you a letter
Oh but I’m gonna send it this time
I keep moving and I don’t look back
But I’m getting further from myself
Were I to find the thing I seek
I don’t think that I could tell
Looking back I can’t spot the time
When my bend became a break
Now every little thing I do
is for someone else’s sake
Gonna write you a letter
Gonna lay it lay it out line by line
Gonna Write you a letter
Oh but I’m gonna send it this time

Got Me Where You Want Me
03:39
|

I’m gonna head out to the mountains
head out for hills
Get a little distance from the things I own
And the folks who wanna do me ill
I’m gonna make my way at midnight
watch those bridges burn
find my way by the light of the flames
sift through the ashes when I return
Oh You got me where you want me
You got me all lined up
You got me where you want me
But baby I got you right where I want you too
You howl for us to listen
From the glass house you been throwing your stones
But every single word yeah I already heard
And what you’re hiding’s what you can’t help but show
You been living on a free ride
In the backseat always wanting to steer
Now that you’re on your own, your sanctimonious tone
Is gonna get you what’s been coming for years
You can dig in your heels and stand up
Or you can tell them what they all want to hear
you can fight or abide, it’s a climb or a slide
But there’s no way you can get there from here
About the same time lays behind me
as lays ahead up over the hill
all the decks you got stacked but when I make my way back
I’m gonna pass you just like you’re standing still

Last Dance (Heavy Duarte)
Nothin up your sleeve
As far as they can tell
Puppets thank you for the strings
If you play your cards well
Hands don’t reach the sky
Feet don’t touch the ground
Talk is cheap and actions speak
but you don’t make a sound
so this has to be
Our Last Dance this time
And I’m free
‘cause you don’t got shit on me
It’s our Last Dance
Always on the scene
Everything’s for show
Don’t pick up a single tab
Order yours to go
Floating on a breeze
Whichever way it blows
Secrets that you swear to keep
Tell everyone you know
so this has to be
Our Last Dance this time
And I’m free
‘cause you don’t got shit on me
It’s our Last Dance
Was a time your game was new
but now I know it well
time is up the word is out
on the poison that you sell
Now no-one’s left to lead you
back to solid ground
Water’s thick with all of it
and the sharks are circling ‘round
so this has to be
Our Last Dance this time
And I’m free
‘cause you don’t got shit on me
It’s our Last Dance

Girl's Too Rich
02:43
|
|||
A pretty woman’s like a rising sun
sly talking won’t get you none
I know you think that you’re able
but you gotta have chips just to get to her table
don’t kid yourself on where you stand
oh she wants a sharp dressed man
now you know what the look on her face meant
she wants the penthouse and you live in the basement
Girl’s too rich for you
Girl’s too rich for you
not much you can do
but find yourself a girl who knows how to
that don’t mind gettin’ down while you’re going dutch
