1: Right Next Door to Hell
I'll take a nicotine, caffine, sugar fix
Jesus don't ya git tired of turnin' tricks
But when your innocence dies, you'll find the blues
Seems all our heroes were born to lose
Just walkin' through time, you believe this heat
Another empty house another dead end street
Gonna rest my bones and sit for a spell
This side of heaven this close to hell

Right next door to hell, why don't you write a letter to me yeah
I said I'm right next door to hell an so many eyes are on me
Right next door to hell, I got nowhere else to be
Right next door to hell, feels like the walls are closing in on me

My mamma never really said much to me
She was much too young and scared ta be
Hell "Freud" might say that's what I need
But all I really ever get is greed
An most my friends they feel the same
Hell we don't even have ourselves to blame
But times are hard and thrills are cheaper
As your arms get shorter your pockets get deeper

Right next door to hell, why don't you write a letter to me yeah
I said I'm right next door to hell an so many eyes are on me
Right next door to hell, I never thought this is where I'd be
Right next door to hell, thinkin' time'll stand still for me

Fuck you, bitch

Not bad kids just stupid ones
Yeah we thought we'd own the world
An gettin' used was havin' fun
I said we're not sad kids just lucid ones yeah
Flowin' through life not collectin' anyone
So much out there still so much to see
Time's too much to handle, time's too much for me
It drives me up the walls, drives me out of my mind
Can you tell me what this means...huh?

2: Dust n' Bones
He lost his mind today
He left it out back on the highway
On "65"

She loved him yesterday
Yesterday's over, I said okay that's all right
Time moves on, that's the way
We live an hope to see the next day
That's all right

Sometimes these things they are so easy
Sometimes these things they are so cold
Sometimes these things just seem to rip you right in two
Oh no man don't let 'em get ta you

She loved him yesterday
He laid her sister, she said O.K.
An that's all right
Buried her things today
Way back out deep behind the driveway
And that's all right

Sometimes these women are so easy
Sometimes these women are so cold
Sometimes these women seem to rip you right in two
Only if you let 'em get to you

Ya get out on your own and you take all that you own
And you forget about your home
And then you're just fuckin' gone

There's no logic here today
Do as you got to, go your own way
I said that's right
Time's short your life's your own
And in the end we are just
Dust n' bones, dust n' bones, dust n' bones

That's all right, dust n' bones
That's all right, dust n' bones
That's all right, dust n' bones

Just dust n' bones

3: Live and Let Die
When you were young and your heart was an open book
You used to say live and let live, you know you did, you know you did
But if this ever changin in which we live in makes you give in and cry
Say live and let die, live and let die

What does it matter to ya when ya got a job to do, ya got to do it
well
You got to give the other fella hell

You used to say live and let live, you know you did, you know you did
But if this ever changin in which we live in makes you give in and cry
Say live and let die, live and let die

4: Don't Cry
Talk to me softly, there's something in your eyes
Don't hang your head in sorrow and please don't cry
I know how you feel inside I've, I've been there before
Somethin's changin' inside you and don't you know

Don't you cry tonight, I still love you baby, don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight there's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry tonight

Give me a whisper and give me a sigh
Give me a kiss before you tell me goodbye
Don't you take it so hard now and please don't take it so bad
I'll still be thinkin' of you and the times we had, baby

And don't you cry tonight, don't you cry tonight
Don't you cry tonight, there's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry tonight

And please remember that I never lied
And please remember how I felt inside now honey
You gotta make it your own way but you'll be alright now sugar
You'll feel better tomorrow, come the morning light now baby

And don't you cry tonight, an don't you cry tonight
An don't you cry tonight, there's a heaven above you baby
And don't you cry, don't you ever cry, don't you cry tonight
Baby maybe someday, don't you cry, don't you ever cry, don't you cry
Tonight

5: Perfect Crime
Kickin' back in the shadows, got no need for the light
Who's sorry now old timer, look at how you've spent your life
Scroungin' for change to put some money in your pocket
My how scratch does burn, laughin' at the suckers as you pissed it
away

But I got the time and I got the muscle
I got the need to lay it all on the line
I ain't afraid of your smoke screen hustle
It's a perfect crime, goddamn it it's a perfect crime
Motherfucker it's a perfect crime, I said it's perfect

Keep the demons down and drag the skeletons out
I got a blind man followin' me in chains
I said he's fun to watch when the world has stopped
An I think he's got somethin' to say
"You wanna fuck with me, don't fuck with me
'Cause I'm what you'll be so don't fuck with me
If you had better sense, you'd step aside from the bad side of me
Don't fuck wit'da bad side o' me
Stay away from the bad side o' me
Don't fuck wit'da bad side"

T minus 1:09 and counting

Ostracized but that's all right
I was thinkin' about somethin' myself

1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8

Call on everybody who's got last rites
Said it's better if you locked 'em away
Runnin' through the visions at the speed of light
Won't ya let me be, motherfucker just let me be
Goddamn it better let me be
Don't ya know ya better let me be

Perfect crime, goddamn it it's a perfect crime
Motherfucker it's a perfect crime
Don't cha know it's a perfect crime

6: You Ain't the First
I tried so hard just to get through to you
But your head's so far from the realness of truth
Was it just a come on in the dark, wasn't meant to last long
I think you've worn your welcome honey
I'll just see you along as I sing you this song

Time can pass slowly, things always change
Your days been numbered and I've read your last page
You was just a temporary lover, honey you ain't the first
Lots of others came before you woman, said but you been the worst
Sa' you been the worst

So goodbye to you girl, so long, farewell
I can't hear you cryin', your jivin's been hell
So look for me walkin' down your street at night
I'll be in with another, deep down inside
Deep down inside

7: Bad Obsession
I can't stop thinkin', thinking 'bout sinkin'
Sinkin' down into my bed
I call my mother, she's just a cunt now
She said I'm sick in the head
She said you ain't special so who you foolin'
Don't try ta give me a line
But I can't stop thinkin' 'bout seein' ya one more time, oh no
But I already left you and you're better off left behind

It's a bad obsession, it's always messin'
It's always messin' my mind
It's a bad obsession, it's always messin'
It's always messin' my mind

Too bad you're fucked up

I used to be wasted, always tried to take it
Take it down into my vein
I call the doctor, he's just another
He said I'm sick in the brain
He said you ain't special so who you foolin'
Don't try ta give me a line
But I can't stop thinkin' 'bout doin' it one more time, oh no
But I already left you and you're better off left behind, oh yeah

Aw it's a bad obsession, it's always messin'
It's always messin' my mind
It's a bad obsession, it's always messin'
It's always messin' my mind

So bad
Boy

It's a, it's a, heads up
It's a bad obsession, it's always messin'
It's always messin' my mind
Now it's a bad obsession, it's always messin'
It's always messin' my mind
But I can't stop thinkin' 'bout doin' it one more time, oh no
See I already left you and you're better off left behind, oh no, oh no
It's a bad obsession and you're always messin' my mind
See I already left you and you're better off left behind
Uh huh, no

Maybe you'll do better next time, punk

8: Back Off Bitch
Oh baby, pretty baby, oh honey, you let me down honey
I ain't playin' childhood games no more
I said it's time for me to even the score
So stake your claim, your claim to fame
But baby call another name
When you feel the fire and taste the flame

Back off, back off bitch
Down in the gutter dyin' in the ditch
You better back off, back off bitch
Face of an angel with the love of a witch
Back off, back off bitch
Back off, back off bitch

Makin' love, cheap heartbreaker, broken backed, nasty ballbreaker
Stay out of my bed, outta my head
If it's lovin' you, I'm better off dead

Back off, back off bitch
Down in the gutter dyin' in the ditch
You better back off, back off bitch
Face of an angel with the love of a witch
Back off, back off bitch
Back off, back off bitch

Emotions ripped, gone on a binge
Life lipped, I said you're off the hinge
Tellin' lies of such fame and glory
I don't even wanna hear your story

Back off, back off bitch
Down in the gutter dyin' in the ditch
You better back off, back off bitch
Face of an angel with the love of a witch
Back off, back off bitch
It's such a pity that you're such a bitch

Back off, back off bitch
It's time to burn, burn the witch
Back off, back off bitch
Back off, back off bitch
Back off, back off bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch, bitch

Hey wha'd'ya think he's tryin' to say there, anyway?
I think it's something each person's s'posed to take in their own
special way
Fucking bitch

9: Double Talkin' Jive
Found a head and an arm in da garbage can, don't know why I'm here
Livin' on the run for oh so long, I gotta go collect
Double talkin' jive, get the money motherfucker 'cause I got no more
patience
Double talkin', I got lies, no more patience man

Back in town an'a all new friends, they sayin' how ya been?
Fucked up and outta place, that's how I felt back then
Double talkin' jive, get the money motherfucker 'cause I got no more
patience
Double talkin', I got lies, no more patience man
You dig what I'm sayin'?!

10: November Rain
When I look into your eyes I can see a love restrained
But darlin' when I hold you, don't you know I feel the same

'Cause nothin' lasts forever and we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle in the cold November rain

We've been through this such a long long time
Just tryin' to kill the pain, oh yeah

But lovers always come and lovers always go
An no one's really sure who's lettin' go today
Walking away

If we could take the time to lay it on the line
I could rest my head, just knowin' that you were mine
All mine
So if you want to love me then darlin' don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walkin' in the cold November rain

Do you need some time, on your own
Do you need some time, all alone
Everybody needs some time on their own
Don't you know you need some time, all alone

I know it's hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn't time be out to charm you

Sometimes I need some time, on my own
Sometimes I need some time, all alone
Everybody needs some time on their own
Don't you know you need some time, all alone

And when your fears subside and shadows still remain
I know that you can love me when there's no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness, we still can find a way
'Cause nothin' lasts forever even cold November rain

Don't ya think that you need somebody
Don't ya think that you need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one

Don't ya think that you need somebody
Don't ya think that you need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one

11: The Garden
You know you're all alone, your friends they aren't at home
Everybody's gone to the garden
As you look into the trees you can look but you don't see
The flowers seem to tease you at the garden
Everybody's there, but you don't seem to care
What's it with you man, and this garden

Turned into my worst phobia, a crazy man's utopia
If you're lost no one can show ya, but it sure was glad to know ya
Only poor boys take a chance, on the garden's song and dance
Feel her flowers as they warp around, but only smart boys do without

You can find it all inside, no need to wrestle with your pride
No you ain't losin' your mind you're just in the garden
They can lead you to yourself or you can throw it on the shelf
But you know you can look inside for the garden

I wasn't really scared, lost my virginity there
To a gyspy with blond hair but now no one seems to care
Like a mouse inside a maze, wandering round for daze
With a smile upon my face, I never wanna leave this place
Only poor boys take a chance on the garden's song and dance
Feel her flowers as they warp around, but only smart boys do without
Turned into my worst phobia, a crazy man's utopia
If you're lost no one can show ya, but it sure was glad to know ya
Bye bye, so long, bye bye
It's glad to know ya, bye bye
Aw, song long

12: Garden of Eden
It's a critical solution and the east coast got the blues
It's a mass of confusion, like the lies they sell to you

You got a glass jawed toothache of a mental disease
An they be runnin' round back see 'em line up on their knees
'Cause the kiss ass sycophants, throwin' penance at your feet
When they got nowhere to go, watch 'em come in off the streets
While they're bangin' out front, inside their slammin' to the cruch
Go on an throw me to the lions and the whole damn screamin' bunch
'Cause the pissed-off rip-offs 'R' everywhere you turn
Tell me how a generation's ever s'posed to learn
This fire is burnin' and it's out of control
It's not a problem you can stop, it's rock n' roll

I read it on a wall, it went straight to my head
It said "Dance to the tension of a world on edge"
We got racial violence and who'll cast the first stone
And sex is used anyway it can be
Sometimes when I look out it's hard to see the day
It's a feelin' you can have it, it's not mine to take away

Lost in the garden of Eden, said we're lost in the garden of Eden
And there's no one's gonna believe this
But we're lost in the garden of Eden
This fire is burnin' and it's out of control
It's not a problem you can stop, it's rock n' roll
Suck on that

Looking through this point of view there's no way I'm gonna fit in
Don't ya tell me what my eyes see, don't ya tell me who to believe in
I ain't superstitious but I know when somethin's wrong
I've been draggin' my heels with a bitch called hope
Let the undercurrent drag me along

Lost in the garden of Eden, said we're lost in the garden of Eden
And there's no one's gonna believe this
But we're lost in the garden of Eden

Most organized religions make a mockery of humanity
Our governments are dangerous and out of control
The garden of Eden is just another graveyard
Said if they had someone to buy it
Said I'm sure they'd sell my soul

This fire is burnin' and it's out of control
It's not a problem you can stop, it's rock n' roll
Lost in the garden of Eden
An we ain't talkin' about no poison apple or some missin' rib ya hear
Said we're lost in the garden of Eden
And there's no one's gonna believe this
Said we're lost in the garden of Eden
This fire is burnin' and it's out of control
It's not a problem you can stop, it's rock n' roll

13: Don't Damn Me
'Cause silence isn't golden when I'm holding it inside
'Cause I've been where I have been an I've seen what I have seen
I put the pen to the paper 'cause it's all a part of me

Be it a song or casual conversation
To hold my tongue speaks of quiet reservations
Your words once heard they can place you in a faction
My words may disturb but at least there's a reaction

Sometimes I wanna kill, sometimes I wanna die
Sometimes I wanna destroy, sometimes I wanna cry
Sometimes I could get even, sometimes I could give up
Sometimes I could give, sometimes I never give a fuck

It's only for a while, I hope you understand
I never wanted this to happen, didn't want to be a man
So I hid inside my world, I took what I could find
I cried when I was lonely, I fell down when I was blind

But don't damn me when I speak a piece of my mind
'Cause silence isn't golden when I'm holding it inside
'Cause I've been where I have been an I've seen what I have seen
I put the pen to the paper 'cause it's all a part of me

How can I ever satisfy you an how can I ever make you see
That deep inside we're all somebody an it don't matter who you wanna
be
But now I gotta smile I hope you comprehend
For this man can say it happened 'cause this child has been condemned
So I stepped into your world, I kicked you in the mind
An I'm the only witness to the nature of my crime

But look at what we've done to the innocent and young
Whoa listen to who's talking, 'cause we're not the only ones
The trash collected by the eyes and dumped into the brain
Said it tears into our conscious thoughts, you tell me who's to blame

I know you don't wanna hear me cryin'
An I know you don't wanna hear me deny
That your satisfaction lies in your illusions
But your delusions are yours and not mine
We take for granted we know the whole story
We judge a book by its cover and read what we want
Between selected lines

Don't hail me an don't idolize the ink
Or I've failed in my intentions
Can you find the missing link
Your only validation is living your own life
Vicarious existence is a fucking waste of time

So I send this song to the offended
I said what I meant and I've never pretended
As so many others do intending just to please
If I damned your point of view could you turn the other cheek

But don't damn me when I speak a piece of my mind
'Cause silence isn't golden when I'm holding it inside
'Cause I've been where I have been an I've seen what I have seen
I put the pen to the paper 'cause it's all a part of me
Don't damn me, I said don't damn me
I said don't hail me, don't damn me

14: Bad Apples
Diamonds and fast cars, money to burn
I got my head in the clouds, I got these thoughts to churn
Got my feet in the sand, I got a house on the hill
I got a headache like a mother, twice the price of my thrills
An it's a cold day, it's a continental drift
I said this traffic is hell can you give me a lift
An I'll try to paint a story, got your pictures to tell
Yeah you got to make a living with what you bring yourself to sell

I got some genuine imitation, bad Apples
Free sample for your peace o' mind, only $9.95
I got my camera back from customs, got my law fees up to date
Hell they musta seen me comin', ain't this life so fuckin' great

When the shit hit the fan, it was all I could stand
Yeah, well I'm a frequent flyer
My body's breathing while it can
But what I don't understand is that
My world ain't gettin' no brighter
If I could touch the sky, well I would float on by
While everybody's talkin', hell I'm just another guy
If it were up to me I'd say just leave me be
Why let one bad apple spoil the whole damn bunch

Gold and caviar, now why'nt you pour my apathy
I'd have all my bases covered if I could teach my hands to see
But now we're down in the deep end where they'd love to watch you
drown
I said your laundry could use washing, we'll hang it up all over town
I said Hollywood's like a dryer an we're down on Sunset Strip
An you'll be suckin' down the Clorox, till your life's all nice and
crisp

When the shit hit the fan, it was all I could stand
Yeah, well I'm a frequent flyer
My body's breathing while it can
But what I don't understand is that
My world ain't gettin' no brighter
If I could touch the sky, well I would float on by
While everybody's talkin', hell I'm just another guy
If it were up to me, I'd say just leave me be
Why let one bad apple spoil the whole damn bunch

When the shit hit the fan, it was all I could stand
Yeah, well I'm a frequent flyer
My body's breathing while it can
But what I don't understand is that
My world ain't gettin' no brighter
If I could touch the sky, well I would float on by
While everybody's talkin', hell I'm just another guy
If it were up to me, I'd say just leave me be
Why let one bad apple spoil the whole damn bunch
Why let one bad apple spoil the whole damn bunch
Spoil

15: Dead Horse
Sick of this life, not that you'd care
I'm not the only one with whom these feelings I share
Nobody understands, quite why we're here
We're searchin' for answers that never appear
But maybe if I looked real hard I'd, I'd see your tryin' too
To understand this life, that we're all goin' through

Then when she said she was gonna like wreck my car
I didn't know what to do

Sometimes I feel like I'm beatin' a dead horse
An I don't know why you'd be bringin' me down
I'd like to think that our love's worth a tad more
It may sound funny but you'd think by now I'd be smilin'
I guess some things never change, never change

I met an old cowboy, I saw the look in his eyes
Somethin' tells me he's been here before
'Cause experience makes you wise
I was only a small child when the thought first came to me
That I'm a son of a gun and the gun of a son
That brought back the devil in me

Sometimes I feel like I'm beatin' a dead horse
An I don't know why you'd be bringin' me down
I'd like to think that our love's worth a tad more
It may sound funny but you'd think by now I'd be smilin'
I guess some things never change, never change

I ain't quite what you'd call an old soul
Still wet behind the ears
I been around this track a couple o' times
But now the dust is startin' to clear, oh yeah

Sometimes I feel like I'm beatin' a dead horse
An I don't know why you'd be bringin' me down
I'd like to think that our love's worth a tad more
It may sound funny but you'd think by now I'd be smilin'
Ooh yeah, I'd be smilin', no way I'd be smilin'
Ooh smilin'

Sick of this life, not that you'd care
I'm not the only one with whom these feelings I share

16: Coma
Hey you caught me in a coma
And I don't think I wanna
Rver come back to this world again
Kinda like it in a coma
'Cause no one's ever gonna

Oh, make me come back to this world again
Now I feel as if I'm floating away
I can't feel all the pressure and I like it this way
But my body's callin', my body's callin'
Won't ya come back to this world again
Suspended deep in a sea of black
I've got the light at the end
I've got the bones on the mast
Well I've gone sailin', I've gone sailin'
I could leave so easily while friends are calling back to me
I said they're, they're leaving it all up to me
When all I needed was clarity
And someone to tell me what the fuck is going on
Goddamn it

Slippin' farther an farther away
It's a miracle how long we can stay
In a world our minds created
In a world that's full of shit

Help me, help me, help me, help me, bastard

Please understand me
I'm climbin' through the wreckage of all my twisted dreams
But this cheap investigation just can't stifle all my screams
And I'm waitin' at the crossroads waiting for you
Waiting for you, where are you

No one's gonna bother me anymore
No one's gonna mess with my head no more
I can't understand what all the fightin's for
But it's so nice here down off the shore
I wish you could see this 'cause there's nothing to see
It's peaceful here and it's fine with me
Not like the world where I used to live
I never really wanted to live

Zap him again
Zap the son of a bitch again

Ya live your life like it's a coma
So won't you tell me why we'd wanna
With all the reasons you give it's, it's kinda hard to believe
But who am I to tell you that I've seen any reason why you should stay
Matbe we'd be better off without you anyway
You got a one way ticket on your last chance ride
Gotta one way ticket to your suicide
Gotta one way ticket an there's no way out alive
An all this crass communication, that has left you in the cold
Isn't much for consolation when you feel so weak and old
But is home is where the heart is then there's stories to be told
No you don't need a doctor, no one else can heal your soul

Got your mind in submission, got your life on the line
But nobody pulled the trigger, they just stepped aside
They be down by the water while you watch 'em waving goodbye
They be callin' in the morning, they be hangin' on the phone
They be waiting for an answer, when you know nobody's home
And when the bell's stopped ringing, it was nobody's fault but your
own
There were always ample warnings, there were always subtle signs
And you would have seen it comin' but we gave you too much time
And when you said that no one's listening
Why'd your best friend drop a dime
Sometimes we get so tired of waiting for a way to spend our time
An "It's so easy" to be social, "it's so easy" to be cool
Yeah it's easy to be hungry when you ain't got shit to lose
And I wish that I could help you with what you hope to find
But I'm still out here waiting, watching reruns of my life
When you reach the point of breaking, know it's gonna take some time
To heal the broken memories that another man would need
Just to survive
