Dreamer 04:32
The sun goes down Roll outa bed Crazy dreams Filling up my head Hey how you doin’ The name’s Paul I look like shit I turned Fifty last fall Long hair Tattoos I look the part But can you see me through Turn up the radio In my truck I got the looks but Not much else to back it up Call me loser Call me boozer Maybe that’s what I am Call me looser Call me boozer Maybe that’s what I am (But I’m a) Dreamer Never been a 10 But if you could just pretend Creeper Just play along I don’t ask you to understand The clock’s ticking But I’m stuck in 85 Never grew up But my waist doubled in size The thing with life It’s a one way track I prob’ly made a left Where I should have made a right Didn’t break enough strings Didn’t smash enough sticks Didn’t strain my pipes When they did let me sing But I still got dreams In my life Can you say the same In your expensive suit and tie Who’s the loser Who’s the boozer We’re all one big bunch Who’s the loser Who’s the boozer Yeah I got vodka for lunch (But I’m a) Dreamer Never been a 10 But if you could just pretend Creeper Just play along I don’t ask you to understand Dreamer Never been a 10 But if you could just pretend Creeper Just play along I don’t ask you to understand Dreamer Never been a 10 But if you could just pretend Creeper Just play along I don’t ask you to understand Dreamer dreamer dreamer Creeper creeper creeper Dreamer dreamer dreamer Dreamer dreamer dreamer

ESTROFA I’ve had my share of bruises and burns But I don’t care, the tables have turned The fire inside What I gotta give For a life of despair I’ll make a day of relief I don’t care if you stay I don’t care if you go If you’re here for a war Oh I’ll give you a show If you want some Come get some If you want some Come get some Get some I got what you want You got what I crave I’ll go down swinging No I can’t be saved If you wanna fight If you wanna fuck Come on baby Show me what you got You can gaze in awe You can stare in shock Hell I’m locked and loaded And I’m hard as a rock If you want some Come get some If you want some Come get some Ladies and Gentlemen, Welcome to the most exciting, hard hitting, gut wrenching, teeth grinding, girlfriend stealing heart breaking show in the WHOLE WIDE WORLD So lock up your daughters (Or don’t, it won’t matter) And get ready to looooooose controooool Cuz I came here to play rock n’roll and drink beer, and you know what… I’m all outa beer! So if you want some honey Come Get Some If you want some Come and get some If you want some Come on come on come on If you want some Come get some If you want some Come get some come and get some come on Come and get some

I never liked to stand my ground I always looked the other way Always lost and never found I’m a coward you could say I never been one to fight I’d rather run away Live to die another day The demons in my head The whiskey on my breath It’s bringing me back here today I’ve been down this road before I’ve been down this road Always saw the neon lights Who brought me back to the fold Destination dead ahead My life’s hanging by a thread Destination dead ahead Wo-ho There is no turning back, I’ll drive into the light It’s gonna be the night of my life I hid too long I fooled around Where I was going I can’t say I take no pride, It’s no sacrifice I’m facing my demons here today Hand are shaky knees are weak Need some courage in a glass When I’ll see the neon lights I’ll step on the gas But tonight, it’s in my head I’m going the last few miles Destination dead ahead My life’s hanging by a thread Destination dead ahead Wo-ho There is no turning back, I’ll drive into the light It’s gonna be the night of my life It’s my last ride Destination dead ahead My life’s hanging by a thread Destination dead ahead Wo-ho Destination dead ahead My life’s hanging by a thread Destination dead ahead Wo-ho There is no turning back, I’ll drive into the light It’s gonna be the night of my life It’s my last ride

Hangover 03:45
I Wake up My head feels like a rock A hole In the wall A John Doe passed out on the floor A bomb My brain And my whole world comes crashing through Where Am I And who the fuck are you I’ll never have another drop I swear this time I’m gonna stop One last glass and then no more Oh wait is that a liquor store Oh wait is that Yes that’s a damn liquor store Hangover It’s my middle name Jaw breaker Hangover Oh the walk of shame Night crawler I remember last night When you turned off the light You filled up my glass And then I just ate you’re a$$ Think Think hard Why is there a boat in the yard My keys All gone Is that your name inked on my arm My leg It’s blue I’m not sure I can pull through What The hell What the fuck did I do Puente Now it’s coming back to me Crashed my car into a tree We stole a boat and I smashed my knee And then the rest is history And the rest is And the rest is history Hangover It’s my middle name Jaw breaker Hangover Oh the walk of shame Night crawler Hangover It’s my middle name Jaw breaker Hangover hangover hangover Hangover hangover hangover hangover

Go! 05:04
When times get tough When it don’t feel right When I can’t call your bluff And I don’t wanna fight When seas get rough When there’s no land in sight When it ain’t enough And you turn off the light Muddy Waters on the stereo Too much whiskey not so long ago Living for the thrill I don’t wanna Come back down amongst you all Let me be carried by the flow Living for the thrill I just wanna GO! Where the spirits fall Where live beautiful lies Where I’m out of control And I just cannot die Where we could let it roll Where we’d be satisfied Where the blades are dull I’d come to realize Rock’n’roll circus on the stereo Too much vodka not so long ago Living for the thrill I don’t wanna Come back down amongst you all Let me be carried by the flow Living for the thrill I just wanna Hey you said I couldn’t be free Hey you said it shouldn’t be me Hey you are so tantalizing Hey will you be feeling the sting Johnny Renbourn on the stereo Too much rhum not so long ago Living for the thrill I don’t wanna Come back down amongst you all Let me be carried by the flow Living for the thrill The electric Ladyland on the stereo Let me be carried by the flow Living for the thrill I just wanna GO!

Drive 05:12
I need a ride direction outa here I can feel the tide is rising near A glimmer of hope under the city lights You pulled up beside me in your four-wheel drive Chrome and steel with your killer smile You opened up the door like in a movie scene My highway queen Drive, baby drive Foot on the gas till the end of the line Drive, baby drive On my highway to hell my path to paradise Drive Drive I like girls who live on gasoline Shake me up take me for a spin You’re the ignition key to my adrenaline The roar of the engine’s drowning out my past The nightmare’s gone but is it gonna last Your eyes tell me it’s gonna be alright Miss Farenheit In a warm safe place I tried to hide The thunder and the rain didn’t pass me by Burn like a comet across the sky Hey girl, come on, please, I need a ride… Hey hey hey hey Hey hey hey Drive, baby drive Foot on the gas till the end of the line Drive, baby drive On my highway to hell my path to paradise Drive, baby drive Foot on the gas till the end of the line Drive, baby drive On my highway to hell my path to paradise Drive Drive

You wanna know my name you say You wanna play my game If you wanna dance to me it’s all the same If I have regrets I’ll leave them behind Tomorrow you’ll see that the tears won’t be mine I’ll go as I came I’ll forget your name There’s always somewhere I gotta be What lies beyond The purple skies It’s in the air Look in my eyes There’s no return No coming back Once we cross the horizon line Sins of the father Guilt of the son There is no penance for what I have done You long to be free Just like I crossed that line It’ll tear you apart but the scars will be mine Just go as you came Forget my name I am not the one you wanna be What lies beyond The purple skies It’s in the air Look in my eyes There’s no return No coming back Once we cross the horizon line What lies beyond The purple skies It’s in the air Look in my eyes There’s no return No coming back Once we cross the horizon line

Charline 04:03
You can hear her roar from miles around When she’s here shit is going down She’s the one your wet dreams are about But you ain’t the only dog who’s comin’ out Sweet mean rock machine Leather black and dollar green Dynamite in boots and jeans Who-ho Charline Who-ho Charline Son she done damned many better than you Been there, done that made it through Get out of the kitchen you can’t take the heat Just get off the tracks you can’t compete Sweet mean rock machine Leather black and dollar green Dynamite in boots and jeans Who-ho Charline (she’s the best you’ve seen) Who-ho Charline (oh you know what I mean) Once I was right where you stand My head buried deep in the sand She made me pay At the heartbreak café And threw my broken carcass away Who-ho Charline Who-ho Charline Who-ho Who-ho Charline Sweet mean rock machine Leather black and dollar green Dynamite in boots and jeans Who-ho Charline Who-ho Charline Who-ho Who-ho Charline

Gunpowder 03:19
Welcome to your Paradise The zombie state of your illusions Everybody wants the love The fame and the attention They dream of escaping The walls that are closing in on them They say I got nothing To lose or regret Lost in time Reach out for the light Gear up for the fight In your hands The fire burns Ignite the powder Let it burn Light a spark To gasoline Let it grow Make me scream Allow yourself to dream my boy Surely you can get it all Soar as high as you can fly The harder then will be your fall Cause the revolution In yourself is callin’ to make a stand For the other lost dreams Of the never land Lost in time Reach out for the light Gear up for the fight Is it all said and done Dawn of a new day Breaking the bond Blood red and gray In your hands The fire burns Ignite the powder Let it burn Light a spark To gasoline Let it grow Make me scream In your hands The fire burns Ignite the powder Let it burn Light a spark To gasoline Let it grow Make me scream Ignite the powder Where is your God? Ignite the powder Where is your God?

Pleased to meet you, oh my lord No doubt, you're the perfect partner But I wanna listen to your voice Oh my lord Fire burning Babylon The breath of the Boleskine's piper It’s a long way to the top... But we ain’t gonna stop This is rock, Rock’n’roll The only sound worth selling your soul In the pit, Yes I know It’s the only place I wanna go This is rock This is rock Rock’n’roll Now the diver is with you Drinking with the cowboys from Hell... There’s still whisky in the jar But who will live to tell? When I crank that tune up loud It’s like I knock on that door The rose still has its thorns This is rock n’roll This is rock, Rock’n’roll The only thing worth selling your soul In the heat, Do you know How far you are willing to go This is rock This is rock Rock’n’roll This is rock, Rock’n’roll The only sound worth selling your soul In the pit, Yes I know It’s the only place I wanna go This is rock This is rock Rock’n’roll

Human Skin 04:03
June of 99 Barely seven years old He said it’s gon’ be fine And you did what you were told That’s it Nice and easy girl He ran his hand Through your golden curls You learned too fast How one can preach and sin You can try but you’ll never forget The demon in human skin Bitten by the cold In the dark alleyway Just like the days of old But at least you get paid Just one more To dull the stench of that life A firestorm Of junk and shattered pride You learned too fast How one can preach and sin You can try but you’ll never leave The demon in human skin You tried to swim against the tide Tick tock the clock goes on but it don’t feel right You stopped saying today I pick myself off the ground You buckle under the weight and you know the only way is down You learned too fast How one can preach and sin You can run but you’ll never escape The demon in human skin You learned too fast How one can preach and sin You can try but you’ll never forget The demon in human skin In human skin In human skin In human skin
