Barbed Wire

Com’on!
Yeah–yahhh!
Woo!
Cut loose!
Head hangs in calloused hands
Sweat pours from all my glands
Another pair of worn–out Vans
Kickin’ over empty cans
Ain’t here to make a dime
You think I’m wasting time
Please just fuck off and die!
Can’t ever kill this high!
My body’s built for the abuse
Ego is swinging from a noose
This life that I desire...
Lays just beyond barbed wire
Overtime and outta line
Ripped the hooks right from my spine
Won’t ever be tied down
No plans to wear your crown
I got whatever it takes
Give me some elbow space
To put you in your place!
and wipe the smirk off your face
My body’s built for the abuse
Ego is swinging from a noose
This life that I desire...
Lays just beyond barbed wire–oh!
Beyond – beyond barbed wire
Yeah! – beyond barbed wire
Just trying to get beyond...
beyond – beyond – beyond...
bared wire
I’m keepin’ the fires lit – oh yeah!
so I’ll never be outshined – oh no!
No option to call it quits...
...Not when you’re searchin’ for peace of mind
The skin tears...
As the razors rip..
Not scared to bleed
For the chance to live!
They say that easy street
was paved over these hard roads
Jump in my passenger seat
We got a long way...
We got a long way... to go!
We got a long way
We got a long way
We got a long way
We got a long way – I said!
Don’t you ever fucking doubt me!
Don’t you ever fucking doubt me!
Don’t you ever fucking doubt me!
I will be here till the end

Dirty Mangy Dog

It’s much to your chagrin...
that I’m back on my feet again
You tried to tame me but I been free for too long
Pickin’ the gravel outta my teeth
From kickin’ up the ground beneath
Losin’ myself in those hungry eyes
Feelin the shake – ungh! – between your thighs
Dirty Mangy Dog!
Dirty Mangy Dog – yeah!
On top of my body you bend
I watch all your hairs stand on end
Tastin’ the sweat as it beads down your chest
I’m a nasty son of a bitch
You got me easily bewitched
Fed me once and now I’m lookin’ for more
That’s me – yeah! – scratchin’ at your door
Dirty Mangy Dog!
Dirty Mangy Dog – yeah!
Evil will bring us together
Our loving will tear us apart
Beauty baby is never enough....
You say you want me–to slip inside your world
From you lips, I watch the smoke unfurl
This howlin’ wolf savors his meat to the bone
You tighten the leash just to hear me moan
You got me moanin’ – all night long!
You got me moanin’
You got me moanin’
You got me moanin’– all night long! – Yeah!
I’m a dirty dog!
Dirty dog...
I’m a dirty dog!
Dirty dog...
Dirty – Mangy – Dog

Ain't Feelin' No Pain
04:25

Ain’t – Feelin’ – No – Pain
Passed out on the floor...
An just a few feet from my front door...
Who knows, how the hell did I make it home?
Oh no – ain’t feelin no pain
Cause ya keep on drinkin’ like nothings changed
I said no – oh no – ain’t feelin no pain
Can’t help but wonder if your drunk or just deranged
Going insane but I ain’t feelin’ no pain!
Singin’ the barroom blues
Spent most my money on reefer and booze
I’d rather be broke and high then to deal with you
And it’s a fucking shame
That all you want is things to stay the same
We can’t go on much longer living this way
Oh no– ain’t feelin no pain
Cause ya keep on drinkin like nothings changed
I said no – oh no – ain’t feelin no pain
Can’t help but wonder if your drunk or just deranged
Going insane but I ain’t feelin’ no pain!
Ain’t feelin’ no pain
Ain’t feelin’ no pain
Ain’t feelin’ no pain
Ain’t feein’ no....
Lately I been staring into my glass
like I’m staring into my grave
I’ve been tearing myself apart
so there ain’t nothin’ left to save
I hear the devil calling out my name
cause he’s coming to collect his fee...
I hear the devil calling out your name
cause he’s coming to collect his fee...
I hear the devil calling out our names...
cause he knows that you been hanging with me...
See all these spirits took my pain away...
but it’s not angels looking over me...
over me... over me...
straight to hell where I’ll never break free!
Gave you all my nights
Lost yourself under neon lights
Another beer – Another shot – Gettin’ drunk’s all we got!
Dive bars and loud guitars
Taking pride in all these scars
Carve “Rowdy” on my stone – Only way I’ve ever known!
Forever rowdy – Only way I’ve ever known!
Forever rowdy – Only way I’ve ever known!
One more time...
Ain’t feelin no pain!

Miscreant
04:05
|

Raised in the dirt – Ripped from the earth
Bred for the fight – Survive out of spite
Miscreant!
Fall from your grace
Miscreant!
Heart like a spade – empathy has decayed
Pleasures depraved – I am not well behaved
Miscreant!
Fall from your grace
Miscreant!
Peer into madness day after day...
Will one of these pills keep neurosis at bay?
Draw back in darkness, thrive like a mold
40oz.’s of beer, some weed to be rolled
Digging my heals deep in the ground...
The ash from my joints forms a burial mound
A dangling cross – is your albatross
A ring on the bar – my final memoir
Miscreant!
Fall from your grace
Miscreant!
Just like your Jesus turned water to wine
I watch you turn ignorance into a shrine
Prying your eyes open like rusted gates
Shouting where only one voice resonates
Fall from grace
God’s been defaced – All sins erased
Don’t be afraid – Lick the blade

Skeleton Key
04:43
|

Amber light – is shining through – a hole in the blinds
Last night – was like a noose – that slowly unwinds
Floorboards – keep creaking – as I pace the room
Dead weight – I been dragging – like a body exhumed
I got me a skeleton key
No need for apology
It’s time to liberate the truth
Forgive mistakes of my youth
Caffeine – and cigarettes – a balanced routine
This bliss – unravels – like the hole in my jeans
Hindsight – corners me – within these four walls
Should I – assume the worst – for times I can’t recall
I got me a skeleton key
No need for apology
It’s time to liberate the truth
Forgive mistakes of my youth...
But forgiveness ain’t so easy
Life has never been so peachy, no
Clenched fists since an early age
Broken-fingers made it hard to turn the page
...and I felt the pain
The apprehension eats at me
Like a worm that feeds on serenity
...and I’ve had enough
Self doubt stirs the flames of rage
Forging the lock that binds this mental cage
...and I found the key
This is my forward escape
I got me a skeleton key
I got me a skeleton key
I got me a skeleton key
Unlocking all doors in my way!
Bust out!
Long over-due to make my move
Don’t really care if you approve
Slide into the groove
Com’on baby – rock with me!
Slide into the groove
I quit sharing my secrets with Satan
Since then my hands stopped shakin’
This beat keeps the heart from achin’
Slide into the groove
