Ahead Of My Time 03:39
lyrics

I was born too early Or I was born too late Either way you consider I'm being chased by fate I'm ahead of my time I can see from the future Or I can see from the past Either way you consider I'm sure it aint gonna last I'm ahead of my time I can see the wind blow, I can hear the sun, I can feel the rivers run I can touch the moonlight, I can hug the stars, I can taste the dust on Mars I'm ahead of my time Gonna die in the city Or in the country at home Either way you consider I'm gonna be alone I'm ahead of my time I can see the wind blow, I can hear the sun, I can feel the rivers run I can touch the moonlight, I can hug the stars, I can taste the dust on Mars I'm ahead of my time

Shiv 05:16
lyrics

A padded room just for two, Conjugal visit, me and you, When we were done I must have lost my shit, I told you every bad thing I ever did. Like my old cell mate, He was a dick, Got some girlie magazines and wouldn't share in it, I had a few things, I tried to trade, He wouldn't do it so I found his shoulder blade, With my shiv. Then there was Fazio "The Gun", He was doing life for murder one, We played some poker in the yard, I lost my shirt pretty hard, And so he found me, In the laundry room, Said he'd cut my hand off if I didn't pay him soon, He threw some punches, I hit the deck, And when he walked away I introduced his neck, To my shiv. It didn't take them long to find out it was me doing all these things, They threw me in the tank and I was with the dark for an eternity, But now they look at me so very differently and they won't bother me anymore. The prison guards leave me alone, But there was one who didn't know, He followed me into the shower, He beat me just to prove his power, Then on the weekend, We played the screws, In a game of baseball and they were about to lose, I slid to second, And took him down, And as it happens he just stayed there on the ground, With my shiv. I love my shiv.

Troubadour's Song 04:24

Black or white, heaven or hell What do they mean and who can tell? Happy or sad, jealous or mad Who is to say which one is bad? Oh troubadour's song Oh troubadour's song Sing about love, sing about hate Sing us a song, don't make us wait Make us all feel like we're in love Make us believe in the above Oh troubadour's song Oh troubadour's song Watching and waiting Focussed and clear Hoping for something Expecting to hear Truth from the fretboard Comfort in words Taking our lead from what we heard Sing about life, sing about death Sing us a song, don't don't take a breath Make us all feel like we're in pain Make us all feel like we're insane Oh troubadour's song Oh troubadour's song Watching and waiting Focussed and clear Hoping for something Expecting to hear, expecting to hear Truth from the fretboard Comfort in words Taking our lead from what we heard

Asshole 05:40
lyrics

Sun is shining, there ain't a cloud in the sky But all he sees is darkness in front of his eyes He doesn't pass up the chance to to tell you that you're a cog in the big world machine He doesn't try to be nice, he's just naturally mean He goes to work, puts in his hours and goes home He makes his dinner, and bitches that he's eating alone But he's been writing this script since he was a young man who could never fit in He doesn't understand, that it all starts with him He doesn't want your pity He doesn't want to be saved He doesn't want you to love him You gotta understand that he's an asshole He hates to read, he doesn't want to learn something new He likes to talk, and won't aknowledge your point of view He lives inside his head where everything makes sense and he's smarter than you He doesn't listen at all, he's immune to the truth He doesn't want your pity He doesn't want to be saved He doesn't want you to love him You gotta understand that he's an asshole He's had a hard life, he's been kicked in the teeth Things havent been easy, in fact they've been pretty bleak Some people can conquer, and make the best of it all But he's too stubborn to see the meaning of it all Another day, another chance to turn it around But he'll remain on what he thinks is solid ground He doesn't try to reach out cuz he likes living without instead of living within He would take you out before he'd let you in He doesn't want your pity He doesn't want to be saved He doesn't want you to love him You gotta understand.. He doesn't want your opinion He doesn't want your respect He doesn't want your forgiveness You gotta understand that he's an asshole

Half-Baked 06:23
lyrics

One, two, three, four Knockin' on your bedroom door Five, six, seven, wait&ldots; You're in some kind of altered state You look like you've been to hell and back You better let me check your arms for tracks You must be half-baked, you must be stoned, You must be higher than a flying kite, You must be half-baked Who you hanging 'round? What you doin' on the town? Watch out, look about I might just follow and check it out If I see something that I don't like I'll drag you home on a Saturday night You must be half-baked, you must be stoned, You must be higher than a flying kite You must be half-baked When you were younger we spent time together it's true I had more time for you Now that you're older you've grown so much colder and blue Did I do this to you? I wish I could go back and take other forks in the road But that's not how it goes No, that's not how it goes That's not how it goes, and now you're out of control. Stay straight, don't be late You don't behave, I won't hesitate To knock you into next week Don't you sass, don't even speak As long as you're a resident You better call me President You must be half-baked, you must be stoned, You must be higher than a flying kite, You must be half-baked

Where Do We Go From Here? 05:42
lyrics

I took your picture with my phone, A candid shot of you sitting all alone, If you should call me, your face would then appear, Don't think of me as a creep, But I would really like to watch you when you sleep, I want to be with you, every day and night, Is that alright? Just your picture is not enough I need to see you, I need your touch But I don't know if you feel the same So I'll keep playing this waiting game. Heavy hearts don't break at all, They just crack and take the fall What you see is what you get There's nothing you need to fear The only question left Is where, where do we go from here? I wrote a poem just for you But you won't like it because none of it is true I said most everything I think you'd like to hear I wish you'd give me a chance Perhaps a dinner date then afterwards a dance I'll be your Mister Right and you can be my muse How can you lose? Just your picture is not enough I need to see you, I need your touch But I don't know if you feel the same So I'll keep playing this waiting game. Heavy hearts don't break at all, They just crack and take the fall What you see is what you get There's nothing you need to fear The only question left Is where, where do we go from here?

Nice Guys 04:31
lyrics
buy track
Why should I be nice? Nobody else is. Why should I be kind? Nobody else is. Why should I respect the opposite sex when I aint seen nothin' yet? I'm not looking for perfection. Nobody else does. Why should have faith? Nobody else does. Why should I have to wait? Nobody else does. Why should I be fine with being resigned while I slowly lose my mind? I'm not looking for a hand-out. Nobody else does. Don't be surprised. Sometimes, nice guys don't finish at all. Why should I be lonely? Nobody else is. Why should I be phoney? Nobody else is. Why do you get kissed while I get missed? Am I easy to resist? I don't think I'm Johnny Good Looks. Nobody else does. Don't be surprised. Sometimes, nice guys don't finish at all. I've waited for so long. Nobody else has. Why can't I be strong? Everyone else is. Why should I accept my singleness as something for the best? I'm not asking for a miracle. Nobody else does. Don't be surprised. Sometimes, nice guys don't finish at all. Don't be surprised. Sometimes, nice guys don't finish at all.
