Chinatown I go to sleep But something's bugging me So I can't sleep, my mind is troubling me Put on my clothes and go downtown down to Chinatown Don't need wireless Don't need no mobile phone Nobody gets My need to be alone Time to get lost Sure won't be found When I'm in Chinatown What has gone wrong with my tired life? Don't get me wrong, babe but nothing ever gets me down when I'm down in Chinatown So I don't sleep but it doesn't bother me ain't tasted sleep seems like an eternity understanding thin on the ground and I'm in Chinatown

Stoner 02:59

Stoner Nothing you can see Down deep in a soul Prepares you for what really matters Is it just a dream? Or when you're alone It makes you look into the mirror until it shatters? To a thousand million souls lost in a million holes To a thousand million souls Lost in a million........... You've got me running Yeah, you've got me running like a freight train going through the middle of my head You've got your finger Oh, it's on the trigger I'm dead Stone cold dead You've got me running Yeah, you've got me running like a freight train going through the middle of my head You've got your finger Oh, it's on the trigger I'm dead Locked down dead. Now listen to me, The planet's gone cold this theory is all about matter The Stoner and the Chief they both have a view, but do you line up with the former or with the latter? We're a thousand million stones Lost in a billion bones We're a thousand million stones Lost in a billion..... You've got me running Yeah, you've got me running like a freight train going through the middle of my head You've got your finger Oh, it's on the trigger I'm dead Stone cold dead You've got me running Yeah, you've got me running like a freight train going through the middle of my head You've got your finger Oh, it's on the trigger I'm dead Locked down dead.

Something's Missing 04:59

Something's Missing Out on my own Between the straits I read what I want to read Download the greats I learn what I need to learn so I survive Affirmation, validation I'm alive All alone But I'm alright All alone But I'm alright....right? 80 gigs full of others thoughts but something's missing hardwired to appliances but it's not so bad Blue skies in my head Into the distance Rocks in my heart Stop me feeling sad All alone But i'm alright Don't come too close 'Cause I'm alright....right?

Starting Tomorrow I'm going to be the President of all the world Starting Tomorrow I'm going to burn the suit and win the girl Starting Tomorrow Maybe tomorrow it's going to be Much better than it was before Maybe tomorrow I'm going to drag My sorry ass off the floor I'm going to wait 'til tomorrow Leave it 'til tomorrow Know I can be the master of my destiny Starting Tomorrow And with ease, I'll work off all these calories Bran Flakes tomorrow Maybe tomorrow it's going to be Much better than it was today Maybe tomorrow I won't burn out Instead I'm going to fade away I'm going to wait 'til tomorrow Leave it 'til tomorrow Maybe tomorrow if I only believe taking a chance not flattering to deceive There's so much more, more I could achieve The comfort zone I could finally leave I'm going to wait 'til tomorrow Leave it 'til tomorrow Because today I'm going to bed........yeah

Honesty 03:21
lyrics

Honesty I believe in honesty Not for me diplomacy Speak my mind That troubles some At ease with what I've become But light is low at end of day and you are never far away And when it comes to haunting me a study in tenacity When I see you I will surely fall Willing victim Tragic after all Incandescence burning brighter still A billion starbursts Life's ends final thrill I believe in honesty stakes I raise incrementally take my chances when they come at ease with what I've become But stage is set and curtain raised the brave are damned The fool is praised and in the shadows Lurks the one Who has the will Will fortune turn? When I see you I will surely fall Willing victim Tragic... aren't we all? Incandescence burning brighter still A billion starbursts Life's ends final thrill

La Citta 03:53

La Citta All manner of life is down in the city All manner of life is down in the city All manner of life is around All manner of life is around All manner of life is down in the city. We've got some real fine people with messed up clothes in the city We've got some messed up people with real fine clothes in the city So shake some hands and some shake yours But count your fingers and count your toes I hope I die before I get sold in the city. I've never met a woman I did not like in the city I've never liked a woman I did not meet in the city All people, lost and found overground and underground Uptown, downtown I belong to the city I work so hard, so hard, so hard So hard I can't stand it, it's not like I planned it Not like it at all I go the north, the south the east, the west of my city I know it's my city I know it's my home

The Hit 03:40
lyrics

The Hit Looking through the eyes of a needle Tell you what do I see? A rich vein of youthful potential Opens up just for me Sad are the faces A willing victim succumbs Sad are the traces of society's crumbs You've the money and you've got attitude just like that guy on TV Take you under my wing 'cause you're special but the first 15 are free So bad for business another icon survives So good for business A troubled Idol has died The hit, the hit, the hit. Quite remarkable The hit, the hit, the hit. Indisputable The hit, the hit, the hit. It's unbelievable The hit, the hit, the hit. Undeniable In my blood, in my bones Hank Williams to the Stones, That mean old woman meets me round a' midnight Here we are in a mexican stand off The drug store owner and me He's got the goods but we've got the numbers So he's relying on me Satisfaction Comes in a 50ml cup Satisfaction His profit margins are up. The hit, the hit, the hit. It's acceptable The hit, the hit, the hit. Purely functional The hit, the hit, the hit. It's so necessary The hit, the hit, the hit. A walking apothocary Looking through the eyes of a needle Tell you what do I see? A rich vein of youthful potential.... Opens up just for me Opens up Just for me.....

Reaper I'm a simple man with some simple tastes War and pestilence Is my State of Grace Games of risk and of chance with what you can't afford to lose Face the music and dance it's the blind man who sings the blues I am the Reaper Pleased to meet you Just a simple man Doing all I can Oh, I love to laugh Just tell me your plans I will drape from the beams your sweet dreams and make dying art And to you, I commend In the end as you've played your part I am the Reaper Here to greet you I am the Reaper Pleased to meet you

Brand New Car 03:01

Brand New car 'I love the smell of Memphis', he said As we drove into the Tennessee night 'Charlie said there's a price on my head so I have to lay low for the night' I was asked to deliver just south of Wolf River a couple of beers and a pie The sound of Freddy Fender and the door blew open I could hardly believe my eyes 'Cilla don't know where I am tonight she thinks I'm at the burger bar. Come on little brother take a walk with me I'm going to buy you a brand new car' 'Cilla don't care about me anymore Kung Fu and Fillipino nail bars Come on little brother take a ride with me I'm going to buy you a brand new car' He took shotgun asked 'Where you from son?' I said, 'I'm from a little town called Hackett' 'I think I made a film about a rodeo there and can I borrow your cap and your jacket?' Sometimes I like to go to Hernando de Soto and talk about places he's been We laugh a lot and he likes to hear stories of all the mamacitas I've seen 'Cilla don't know where I am tonight she thinks I'm at the burger bar. Come on little brother take a walk with me I'm going to buy you a brand new car' 'Cilla don't care about me anymore Kung Fu and Fillipino nail bars. Come on little brother take a ride with me I'm going to buy you a brand new car' Grow my hair, dye it black Get the dutchman off my Goddamn back The good lord knows I ain't coming back no more, no more My Daddy wouldn't like it but he should have known Put the genie in the Goddamn lamp and go to get that neck tattoo I've always known Mi Corazon Will call me Fausto

John Henry Adams 05:56
lyrics

John Henry Adams John Henry Adams lifts the shutters up Opens up the door Like he's done every morning since 1954 Picks the mail up Tidies up the garbage That was left last night John Henry Adams straightens out his wares Opens up the store Like he's done every morning Since 1954 Fills his coffee cup Flicks a speck of dust 'til his mind starts to roam There's something that he knows Something he wants no one to know This is the life he chose John Henry Adams turns the lights out Sign upon the door Takes the key from his pocket And opens up the floor That is hidden In the corner by an unsightly rug John Henry Adams picks the shovel up Drops it to the floor Like he did on that morning In 1984 When he cleaned then he covered up her lifeless flesh and bones This is the life he chose Something he wants no one to know His secret grows and grows Dance with me Rosalie One more time from memory The flowers look as sweet as the did on that morning Dance with me Rosalie One more time Please forgive me Well, I hate to let you go Go back into your hole You know I've got to go There's someone at the door You know I've got to go There's someone at the door.......

about

A meditation on alienation, addiction, personality disorders, procrastination, uxoricide and the price of beans wrapped up in a tidy bundle, the length of an inane sitcom. Charlie Sheen would get it.
