Depression Overdrive
02:47
|
|||
|
Living in the darkness of the light
These thoughts I have they just ain’t right
‘Cause I’m feeling again like doing myself in
But I know I never could
Morning so hard to face the day
Wishing the World would go away
Well I’d off myself now if only I knew how
But I know I never would - never would - never would - never would
Loneliness is making my ears ring
Nothingness is deafening
The Mean Reds and the will to survive
Are kicking in Depression Overdrive
What I will do next I just don’t know
I don’t have no place left to go
Well, I’m thinking again of doing myself in
But I know I never would
CHORUS
If I can’t be drunk I don’t wanna be alive - If I can’t be drunk I don’t wanna be alive
If I can’t be drunk I don’t wanna be alive - If I can’t be drunk I don’t wanna be alive
I wouldn’t kill myself, not for one hundred dollars
I wouldn’t kill myself, not for one hundred dollars
Depression Overdrive is keeping me alive
Depression Overdrive is keeping me alive
(CHORUS)
Overdrive, Overdrive, Overdrive

Living in your private hell
Chelsea Horror Hotel
brother Joey's right
everything is gonna be alright
at the end of the night
you'd given up the fight
oh dee dee
What did they do to you
what have you been through
to make you feel that way
53rd & 3rd was never too far away
at the end of the day
you did it your way
you were on your own
but you were not alone
oh no
what got you in the end
you're with your best friend
left your girl all alone
Dee Dee's gone
nobody's home
at the end of the night you'd given up the fight
oh dee dee
Joey was right
everything is gonna be alright
oh dee dee

Ain't No Saint
02:24
|
|||
|
I never sang Ave Maria
But I like to hear it sung
Somebody loved that Mother Mary
Just like she loved her son
I could try to be like Mary
Oh, Lord I ain’t no saint
I never read no Gideon’s Bible
But I see them in Hotels
Sometimes I check the bedside table
Just to see if it is there
I ain’t got time to read the bible
When I’m in a hotel bed
Oh, Lord I ain’t no saint
(BREAK)
I never met Mother Theresah
But I’ve seen her on TV
She gave her life to poor sick people
that I would never meet
They say that she’ll be sainted faster than any other saint
She is what I ain’t
Oh, Lord I ain’t no saint
Oh, Lord I ain’t no saint
Oh, Lord I ain’t no saint

Matter of Time

Baby you were never mine
You would always walk the line
And I knew you wouldn’t stay
Baby’s got big blue eyes
Bay’s mouth is full of lies
And I knew he wouldn’t say
And I know
It’s just a matter of time
Let him go
It’s just a matter of time
Baby can’t stand himself
Put his insides on a shelf
And he’s not in love with anyone
Baby laughs he knows I’m right
Baby won’t up a fight
But he’ll use until he’s done
Maybe So
It’s just a matter of time
Watch him go
It’s just a matter of time
When I look into his face I only see today
I’ll take this moment anyway
Baby look at who you are
Baby you’re a superstar
Baby you’re a setting sun
Watch him until he’s all gone
Now he shines in the midnight sky
Let him go
It’s just a matter of time
May be slow
It’s just a matter of time
Watch him go
It’s just a matter of time

Mr. Wrong
02:24
|

|
Wake Up with a new friend
Break up - alone again
Make out tonight with me
Fake out – remember me?
I knew - knew it all along
knew you were the one
you were Mr. Wrong
Couldn’t take my eyes off you
wouldn’t take your hands of me
shouldn’t let you in
mustn’t do that again
I knew - knew it all along
knew you were the one
you were Mr. Wrong
I don’t just don’t know when
You don’t call me again
Break up – alone again
Wake up with a new friend
I knew - knew it all along
knew you were the one
you were Mr. Wrong
you could be anyone
here I go again

I come home they’re all here
“Get me another beer”
I will this one time only
I want my one and only
They’re gone and we’re alone
But then you hear the phone
You meet them at the bar
You tell me it’s not far
I wanna be with you but I’m always alone
I love you baby but I hate your friends
I love you baby but I hate your
I love you baby but I hate your friends
They talk this girl and that
The one that they can’t have
But you have me dear
I’m waiting right here
I wanna be with you but I’m always alone
(CHORUS)
You’re taking me for granted
I’m not so fully and firmly implanted as you think
I’m not here for good
I could be gone for good
Now I’m here
I could be gone
I’m gone for my own good
I’m gone for good
I love you baby but I hate your friends
hate your friends
I hate your friends

Road to Barstow
03:42
|

|
My head hangs down down down down down down down down down
I kept my head down down down down until the end
I didn’t really hear a word the preacher said
Said my prayers in a whisper
I realized I wasn’t listening
I put my head down down down down and let it drop
I realized I wasn’t looking at all
I don’t feel and I don’t feel like looking up
I won’t look up until I feel
I look up and realize
The Road to Barstow is Red
The Road to Barstow
The Road to Barstow is Red
The more I leave behind behind the more I stare
The color of a bloodless death is all that’s there
The more ground ground I gain the more I lift my head
Sang my hymns in a whisper
I wasn’t listening
I leave it all behind me
As miles of red road start to blind me
The Road to Barstow is Red
The Road to Barstow
The Road to Barstow is Red
The Road to Barstow
The Road is Red
Road is Red
Blood Red

I Met You There
02:14

I Met You There – you wished upon a star
I Met You There – you didn’t know how far
I Met You There – you stood out in the dark
I Met You There – you blew my mind so hard
Shakin’ my hips in a hula hoop
Girl throws a boy for a loop
We danced all night we were getting’ it right alright
I Met You There – I wanted you for mine
I Met You There – I watched you blow my mind
I Met You There – on one hot summer night
I Met You There –didn’t put up a fight
We met one fateful night
When star-crossed lovers got it right
We were getting’ down - we were messin’ around all night
(BREAK – same as verse)
When you wished upon a star above
Who knew that we would fall in love
I Met You
I Met You There - Just say yes or not
I Met You There - want you to wear me out
I Met You There –please don’t turn me down
I Met You There

Joey's Song
02:10
|

|
I wanna – Now I wanna
I don’t wanna – bye bye baby
When I first saw you
I had a Great Adventure
My mom thought you were trouble
“Hey, Mom, it it’s The End of The Century!”
When my first boy made me cry
I Remember You made me wonder why
We’re a Happy Family is what they think
It’s OK - to be a freak
Leave Home taught me how to bar
When I didn’t know how to play the guitar
They sang Hey Ho at the Subway Series
And I wasn’t around to hear it
I wanna - Now I wanna
I don’t Wanna - Bye bye baby
Driving on the Belt Parkway
Past Rockaway
Hanging out at Coney Island
On the Cyclone and around again
I am happy to be
A teenage lobotomy
This one time I wish I could say
That the KKK took my baby away
Stay Tuned for more rock and roll

You’re not just one year old now
It’s just the day after yesterday
You’re not just one year old now - It’s your birthday baby
Yeah, boy you’d better beware
Lipstick on your collar, glitter in your hair
You’re not just one year old now
It’s just the day after yesterday
Happy Birthday to you
Happy Birthday Baby
Happy Birthday
You’re not just one year old now
It’s just the day after yesterday
You’re not just one year old now
It’s your birthday baby
Yeah, boy you’d better beware
Lipstick on your collar, glitter in your hair
Liar, liar, pants on fire (Original lyrics Maya Maya pants on fiya)
How old are you now
Happy birthday Baby
Happy birthday
Liar, liar, pants on fire
How old are you now
Happy birthday Baby
Happy birthday Baby
Happy birthday Baby
Happy birthday

Get Over You
02:30
|

|
(J. J. O'Neill)
Dressed like that, you must be living in a different world
And your mother doesn't know why you can't look like all the other girls
Boys stop you on the street, they wanna know your name
To reach you on the phone 'cause they know your game
Always running up the alley, trying to get home
Or standing on the corner, never alone
And I don't wanna get over you
(Over you)
It doesn't matter what you do
(Over you)
I just can't get over you
Over you
You say the boys with the bikes and the leathers'd like to beat you to hell
And the girls where you work don't treat you too well
You think you're such a smart girl, but you ain't so bad
Get what you want with looks like that
Always running up the alley, trying to get home
Or standing on the corner, never alone
And I don't wanna get over you
(Over you)
It doesn't matter what you do
(Over you)
I just can't get over you
Over you
