You're Mine

Sho nuff Mama,
Got a little time to take
I'm all shook up my legs about to break
I want you baby, don't you know what it's gonna take
Just you and me til the end of time, just say it

I won't back down, you know it's right
I know it's hard to get it right
Know it's hard to be this way with you
I won't back down you're always right
I Know it's hard to get it right
I don't ever wanna be without you

You'll be mine little baby
You'll be mine little darling
You're just mine little baby
You'll be mine little darling

One more time baby let's just fly away
I know you want it more than me
You know you want it more than me
Come on little baby don't try to set me free

No I won't back down, you know it's right
I don't want to pick a fight
I know it's hard to sing this song
I know it's hard to ever be like you

No I won't back down, you know it's right
I just can't wait, it's always wrong
I know it's hard to sing this song
I know it's hard to ever be like you

You'll be mine little baby
You'll be mine little darling
Always mine little baby
Always mine little darling now
Always mine

Alone in the Universe    top

You just waste my time
Everything you touch is all messed up
You done crossed that line
I don't like the way you call me friend

Should have known by now
Things were going south
I would rather be all by myself
Alone in this universe

Find it kind of strange
Everything you touch is all messed up
You might be deranged
I don't like the way you call me friend

Should have known by now
When things were going south
I would rather be all by myself
Alone in this universe

Should have known by now
When things were going south
I would rather be all by myself
Alone in this universe

Universe
Universe

Alright   top

Hopeless is all I can see
Rain clouds only on me
Circumstances out of control
Probably die before I get old

I crawl on the ground again
My head in the clouds again
I'm hoping for brighter days
But some things they never change

But I won't let it get me down
And I'll get up off the ground
And I'll screw my head on tight
'Cause I know everything's going to be all right

I don't want to pretend
This misery has to end
I don't want to believe
That this is the life that I lead

I crawl on the ground again
My head in the clouds again
I'm hoping for brighter days
But some things they never change

But I won't let it get me down
And I'll get up off the ground
And I'll screw my head on tight
'Cause I know everything's going to be all right

I crawl on the ground again
My head in the clouds again
I'm hoping for brighter days
But some things they never change

But I won't let it get me down
And I'll get up off the ground
And I'll screw my head on tight
'Cause I know everything's going to be all right

Dark Fire   top

I carved my name upon this globe
and forged the path of rock and roll

I'll melt your face from town to town
just like a fire I burned them down

My sights ahead a dawning day
and put a torch to yesterday

I stoke the fire and watch it glow
and burn my mark across your soul

with my Dark Fire...

The earth will shake from my sound
I see a wall and kick it down

I play it loud cannot refrain
cause I'm the music in your veins

My eyes ahead a brand new day
and put a torch to yesterday

I stoke the fire and watch it glow
and burn my mark across your soul

with my Dark Fire...

Coming Back   top

If you could see what I can see
Then everything makes sense
You stumble round just like a clown
And blame your innocence

There's never time to get things right
Put plenty for mistakes
You drove too far, and far too long
It's time to hit them brakes

Cuz you and me aren't so different
With the world on our back
We were born into privilege
Raised on the wrong side of the track

But I'm coming back!

A brand new day to get it right
But still don't see a thing
All is well as you can tell
With nothing new to bring

Cuz you and me aren't so different
With the world on our back
We were born into privilege
Raised on the wrong side of the track

But I'm coming back! (Repeat)

I don't mind the wasted time; Your love will last forever (repeat)

Cuz you and me aren't so different
With the world on our back
We were born into privilege
Raised on the wrong side of the track

You don't care about nobody
You don't care if I'm coming back
We were born into privilege
Raised on the wrong side of the track

But I'm coming back! (Repeat)

I don't mind the wasted time
Your love will last forever (Repeat)

Mary Jane    top

Wonder where you are today
It's hard to imagine
Everybody called you names
And that you don't matter
With the weight of the world
On your sweater
Always alone and afraid
To you never mattered

I want to invite you
It feels so wrong to wonder
I want to embrace you
I know I'm wrong my Mary Jane

Always quiet and alone
Everyone's laughing
Always dressed like a freak
There always cracking
With the wind in your face
You're not revolving
Everyone passes you by
You're not evolving

I want to invite you,
I know I'm wrong to wonder
I want to embrace you
You don't belong my Mary Jane.

Mary Jane

I want to invite you
It feels so wrong to worry
I want to embrace you
You don't belong my Mary Jane

Doing Fine   top

It's been two hours since you had a drink
Your hands are starting to shake
Been this way for about ten years
Some things they never change

But I hope your doing fine
And I hope things are all right
But I'll never understand it
Why you screwing up your life

You drown your past in an empty glass
For the ones that you share their name
You turned your back and you walked right out
You drunk - you have no shame

And you think your doing fine
Still believe things are all right
But I'll never understand it
Why you tearing her your life

A'int nobody here
Shedding a tear
Left on your own
Now you can face
The life that you waste
You're out of control

[Bar room chatter]

A'int nobody here
Shedding a tear
Left on your own
Now you can face
The life that you waste
You're out of control

Long Night   top

Go ahead and break my heart
There's nothing left to rip apart in there
Lyings just a part of it
And I just think your full of it with me

We all just live inside our shells
And find it hard to be our selves
Two can be wrong
One thing for sure
It's gonna be another long night

Every time you wanna fight
Nothing ever stupefied me
I don't care you gotta lie
Nothing ever comes out right for you

We all just live inside our shells
And find it hard to be myself
Two can be wrong
One thing for sure
It's gonna be another long night

And I should fall down on my knees and pray once again
And I should know for certain that it'd all be okay

I'm wondering for you
And I know it's not brand new
Go ahead and break my heart
There's nothing left to rip apart in there

We all just live inside our shells
I find it hard to be myself
Two can be strong
One thing for sure
It's gonna be another long night

Be another long night [repeat]

Novocain   top

I like the way we used to be
I like your eyes
Their stuck on me
You were my hope
I was your champ
You were the one
That killed my pain
Novocain
Feels like Novocain all over again

I get so numb
When you're around
I must be dumb
To hang around
You pick me up
To push me down
You help me afloat
To watch me drown

Novocain

Feels like Novocain all over again

Smoke   top

My heart is cold, my mind's asleep
Something evil falling over me
Oh no, not me
Free to bow and free to speak
As long as I'm not offensive to the geeks
Oh no not me

Go and smoke your marijuana
In the flames you just might see
What happened to me

Arrogance of every kind.
Gossip in the columns blows my mind
Oh not me
Priests molest the innocent
Guarded by the pope's own government
Oh no not me

Go and smoke your marijuana
In your flames you just might see
What happened to me
[bridge and repeat]

Kill a baby watch em die
Cause in the womb you cannot hear em cry
Oh no not me

Sin is gone the line is blurred
No right from wrong no reverence for the word
Oh no not me

Our borders' breached our people die
Protests in the streets a war denied
Oh no not me

Money's king no love to give
Satisfied with how we're taught to live
Oh no not me

My heart is cold, my mind's asleep
Something evil falling over me
Oh no, not me

Bring this Mutha Down   top

I never wanted you on my back
I never called for this
I never wanted you on my back
I was not built for this

Take off by your self
With you I'll never win
Take off by yourself
I don't want to bend

I never wanted you on my back
I never called for this
I never wanted you on my track
I was not built for this

Take off by your self
You will never win
Take off by yourself
I don't want to bend

Better Part of Me   top

Seems like every single day
With all the craziness that comes my way
It's your voice that keeps me still
It's your words to me that makes me live

And I can see
You're the better part of me

It's like a simple song to sing
Already know the words and melody
And I can't wait to see your face
It's been far too long since you left this place

And I can see
You're the better part of me

And I can't wait
'Til the heaven's open wide
And I can't wait
To meet you in the sky
And I will wait
And make the best of all this time
And I will wait
'Til the last breath of my life

I need you to be
Close to me

I am hopeful for the day
Biding all my time, it'll be okay
I'll keep my hands clenched to the plow
Knowing someday soon you'll come around

And I can see
You're the better part of me

And I can't wait
'Til heaven's open wide
And I can't wait
To meet you in the sky
But I will wait
And make the best of all this time
And I will wait
'Til the last breath of my life

I want you to be
Close to me

Falling on the ground again
In this place
Falling on the ground again
On my face
Stumbling around again
In this place

Stars   top

She was looking at the Stars
She was gazing at the moon
There was nothing else to do
But to kick around with you
You were looking at the stars

She always hoped for me
And she always knew my dreams
We were always pretty close
But heaven only knows
She was looking at the stars

Naive and very young
I was blind and pretty dumb
But she kinda seemed to know
That she kinda had to go
She was Looking at the stars

And this is your song
But it's with my voice
And it was Gods will
To take you home

And this is your song
But it's with my voice
And it was Gods will
To take you home

And these are my eyes
And these are my tears
And it's with Gods breath
That brings me near to you

---------------------------

So I'll be looking at the Stars
And I'll be gazing at the moon
When there's nothing else to do
I'll be crying over you
And I'll be looking at the stars

I'll be looking at the Stars
I'll be gazing at the moon
When there's nothing else to do
I'll be crying over you
And I'll be looking at the stars

Repeat

29 Palms   top

32 Miles to 29 Palms would not take me very long
with the hopes of my baby maybe lovin me

Your heart maybe in LA
Or maybe in San Fransisco Bay
But my heart will always belong to that 29

29 Palms where my baby looks so fine all the time
Dancin underneath them great big stars
29 Palms where I know my babys
Always there for me

And my heart will always belong to that 29
