Dig You Up 02:46
Outside your window Gazing hard on this crazy night Your head on your pillow Wide awake you're mine I'm a bit neurotic You're a bit of a hypocrite You laugh, I cry Girl together we fit Chorus: Baby, I dig you I dig you up Baby, I dig you I dig you up I'm a bit eclectic You're a bit of a porno star This touch electric Girl together we are Chorus: Baby, I dig you I dig you up Baby, I dig you I dig you up

I am a basket case all rotted out and blind I take your will to live—and shake you up inside I’m a devil, I’m a monster, I’m a fiend I will suffocate, and let you down—you’ll see Leave me alone, leave me behind, leave me to rot I'm drowning Leave me alone, leave me behind, leave me to rot I'm drowning I see you shiver when you’re standing next to me Move in closer child—if you care I’ll set you free I’m your savior, I’m your healer, I’m your friend I make you feel good—then I'll F##k you in the end Leave me alone, leave me behind, leave me to rot I'm drowning Leave me alone, leave me behind, leave me to rot I'm drowning Solo I am a basket case all rotted out and blind I take your will to live—and shake you up inside I’m a devil, I’m a monster, I’m a fiend I will suffocate, and let you down—you’ll see Leave you alone, leave you behind, leave you to rot you’re drowning Leave you alone, leave you behind, leave you to rot you’re drowning Leave you alone, leave you behind, leave you to rot you’re drowning Leave you alone, leave you behind, leave you to rot

Long hair blowin’ madly—August wind Moving freely to the music in her head Caught a ride with her thumb in the moonlight Hitched a ride the night, the night she died It’s your life It’s your blood It’s your life It’s your blood She’s the girl of my dreams—of my life Saw curves as I was driving by I will take you anywhere that you need If you’re willing—willing, then step inside It’s your life It’s your blood It’s your life It’s your blood -Solo- Flashing lights down the road—about mile Serial murder happened on the 105 Body naked—laying on the blacktop Bound and torn— the night she died It’s your life It’s your blood It’s your life It’s your lie

Just like a movie I felt it there Out of the shadows a godless fair Heart was so empty beat got crossed Took what was needed Took what was needed Evil things on the dance floor Bad things Bad things I lost my sunshine baby I lost my sunshine Just like the night faded away Soul was empty and couldn't stay Looking back never learned It was leav'n It was leaving

"put a little soil on it..." Well it all started with a cool seduction Long legs and my hearts abduction Powers of the snake leave me be She got her hooks ya right into me Like a nail in the head, it only hurt for a minute Tried to get away, and I was too deep in it Passion is fire, and love is decay when it comes morning, gona come back again It was trouble from the very start never gona get your lovin child and your cold black heart Heart Heart Heart I went to the bottle to drown in my sorrow Straight shot of bourbon showed me a path I could follow Mind is blank ya soul is pain When in the morning I see you again...ya I see you again Well gun in hand I was seeking redemption Begged forgiveness, and the man didn't have none In a cell I lye and I wait for my day She come tomorrow and I do it again It was murder from the very start never gona get that lovin child and your cold black heart Heart Heart Heart with your cold black heart

Ghost Radio 04:23
This night is over— I got nothing left to give My head is screamin' I'm a mess This bond between us— It finally comes undone The voices scream inside my head Down this crooked road we roll—We roll Slide on over take the wheel You say you know me— But your touch I don't recall My name has never left your lips I say I need you— But I'm asking you to go I see freedom round the bend Down this crooked road we roll—We roll Slide on over take the wheel There ain't no heroes in this song—These songs In my ghost radio -Solo- My head is heavy And my heart is overworked These color patterns black me out The chords are changing But the song remains the same The lights go down and then we shout Down this crooked road we roll— We roll Slide on over take the wheel There ain't no heroes in this song— These songs In my ghost radio

Rollin' 03:00
Blowin’ up like the Fourth of July Blasting Kiss Dressed to Kill Took a ride on your motorbike ‘cause your mind wouldn’t sit still You’re rollin’—chasing demons Dying for the cause We all missed you—that’s your loss You used to be the talk of the scene Ain’t seen your face round in a while The papers said you hit the curve too hard Well at least you died in style Got your drink on—got loaded Higher than the stars Lost potential is what you are You’re rollin’—rollin’, rollin’, rollin’

Panic Attack 03:32
Got the call she been your back, she just never quits She told you off, your no damn good,she going to pawn your shit Your heart is black and your anger hot, she going to taste your fist You grabbed a bro and a baseball bat, you just couldn't resist Panic attack, yeah your world is on fire Panic attack, yeah never get better Panic attack, yeah nothing else matters Panic attack Broken glass dial 911, you were out of control Don't wait around for police car, but you got nowhere to go A blacktop call going to hope a bus, get your ass out of town They picked you up around 3am without a sound Panic attack, yeah your world is on fire Panic attack, yeah never get better Panic attack, yeah nothing else matters Panic attack Panic attack, yeah your world is on fire Panic attack, it will never get better Panic attack, yeah nothing else matters Panic attack

Swamp Song 03:56
She don't like other women She like raising hell Ain't no love for the taking Keep your hands to yourself There ain't no easy way I know, I know Hard's the only way we roll She don't come in the back booth Unless they show their hard Lose herself in the six string She ain't nobodies heart There ain't no easy way I know, I know Hard's the only way we roll She gets me off in the back seat But she won't clean the mess I don't care cause I need her Like I need nobody else There ain't no easy way I know, I know Hard's the only way we roll The bodies flowing freely Let's not come too fast Left my heart in the parking lot Burned it into ash There ain't no easy way I know, I know Hard's the only way we roll

Got a pocket full of patience and a lifetime full of death Got a bucket full of sorry and it ain't got better yet Got a high that's gona come down and a heart full of pain Got a jolly old shotgun and a bullet with my name Yeah bullet with my name Yeah bullet with my name Yeah bullet with my name Yeah bullet with my name Gona find myself a woman who will never let me down Gona find myself a woman who won't put me in the ground Gona find myself a woman who will dry me out sometime Lord I got to take myself a minute help my head unwind Yeah help my head unwind Yeah help my head unwind Yeah help my head unwind Yeah help my head unwind I got a lot of bad habits, I won't quit I'm gona think of you last, cause I'm a son of a bitch If you tell me you love me, baby I'll be gone Well you say I'm to old to be a rock'n star Well I ain't goin back cause I've come this far and a bottle of tequila help me feel just fine Yeah I'm fine Yeah I'm fine Yeah Yeah Yeah I'm fine Yeah I'm fine fine fine fine
