Morbid Woman 04:43
It was a sinful night, but such a sinless afternoon She was razor sharp, but only at the tip of her shoe She’s a morbid woman with a morbid point of view She’s a morbid woman, aren’t you? Her blood froze when she was out cold Kissed her shoe, and I froze too And my lifeless hue grows darker and darker cause of you It was a simple night until the time it came to me That if die tonight, I know who’d be in line to see It’s my morbid woman, it don’t bother me Cause she loves it, morbid, doesn’t she? Blood footprints in the snow Lead you to you-know-who And it’s so fresh in my soul That look of a black hole She gives me the best most awful nights The nights that end in a daze And while the pain feels fine, it seems to be the smell that stays On my morbid, woman, I’m not really fazed Cause she loves it morbid anyway She’s my morbid woman Out like a light, she’s got me propped up all night, all night And on the final night, that I spent with our good friend She gave me the gut and stitched me back up at both ends

The Legend 04:08
Badlands 1934, when it was the murder capital of the north A stranger with a gun would knock at every door, and if you didn’t Watch out, you’d be deader than before. I’ve been lightning, fighting, and I’ve had a little more than my share He never stood up, and it’s a sad thing, and when you live in the gutter, it’s maddening Up there the hills are nearly blue And in the iron mine you think it’s only you But somewhere I am hiding inches out of view and When I pull the gun out, you know what to do Cause I’m hiding in the gorge Made it there by force And I was declared gone But you haven’t seen the horse I’ve been lightning, riding On this high-speed trip to nowhere And when you give up, I know that it’s a bad thing But when you live in the gutter, it’s maddening! When you live in the gutter, well the sea’s better than the land When you live in the gutter, well the badlands don’t seem so bad If you survive you’re fitter than the ones that fell in the past But if you play the quitter, then you’re never going to last When you're, when you’re, when you’re in the badlands it’s a tour de force To keep yourself alive while others run their course You’re gonna want to silence all of your remorse Cause when they bring the guns out Gotta get ‘em at the source I’ve been lightning, fighting, spent some time in the captain’s chair And when you get up, I know that it’s a bad thing But when you live in the gutter… IT’S MADDENING!! Badlands in the present day Where people will drive by but no-one wants to stay We stay out of view.. cause the legends are true! OK, OK… I’ve been lightning, fighting And I’ve had a little more than my share, YEAH! He never stood up, and it's a sad thing But when you live in the gutter, it’s maddening!! I’ve been lightning, fighting

Dig A Hole 04:11
I brought you one handful of gold Alright, that was mine. What’s your big idea? I brought you the heat served nice and cold I put it on the line We’ve got no questions here What’s your big idea? I kill the big ones before they happen I came out here iron-clad before it went bad What was the big idea? What was the big idea? I kill the big ones before they happen Funny how those who laugh the most don’t have time for laughing How bout THIS in monochrome? Go dig a hole that looks like, that looks like home The walls are black for those with sight Look up and your walls may turn white It should come as no surprise your one good eye watches alone I told you I would sell my soul Alright, that was mine. What’s your big idea? I sold you the same story I stole And I know every line Let’s make that much clear What’s your big idea? I kill the big ones before they happen Funny how those who laugh the most don’t have time for laughing How bout THIS in monochrome? Go dig a hole that looks like, that looks like home The walls are black for those with sight Look up and your walls may turn white It should come as no surprise your one good eye watches alone Your one good eye watches alone Your one good eye watches alone And you just keep on watching You just keep on watching I brought you one handful of gold Alright, that was mine. What’s your big idea? WHAT’S YOUR - How bout THIS in monochrome? Go dig a hole that looks like home The walls are black for those with sight Look up and your walls may turn white The walls are black for those with sight Look up and your walls may turn white It should come as no surprise your one good eye watches alone

Mirage 04:48
Windows rolled up My gears are stuck in park I hope I see the light Before the sky gets dark Cause I wanna mean something It’s about time now, but I wanna mean something, somehow Last night I saw myself sitting at your table But I can’t hold my breath any more Turn the cold on Volume at the side Been spinning this tale The better part of my life, haven't I? My back windshield tells no lie I see myself, and all I've left behind I just wanted to mean something Put aside what I said, I just wanted to mean something I still do now, I still do now Every light that passes overhead Changes colour every thousand miles But the last one never came I’ve got a way of sort of holding up a frame and hoping to see something, anything Last night I held myself hostage behind the wheel Wondering what it’s all been for Sometimes it seems like a never ending drive Been winding this trail the better part of my life, haven’t I? I have the same dream about the same road every night But as it disappears from the corner of my eye I think maybe it means something Clenching my fists, and I wish I knew why Maybe it means something, I wish I knew now, I wish I knew now Every omen goes over my head I looked away for just a little while But the last one never came I’ve got a way of holding up a frame And hoping to see something, anything Last night I saw a mirage in the rearview mirror I don’t know what I looked back for Last night I saw myself climbing through the window Will I ever see the front door?

Got Up Once 04:55
Tell me - what will it be? The choice is in your hands Fight or fly with me Just don’t freeze up again But my friend Let’s say this last word with violence When we all complete our beatings I’ll show you how fleeting life is My death grip is firm and I sense Your fear, your weaknesses, they lower your defence Got up once Too proud to crawl I know what it’s like to fall This is what you taught me In much simpler days (Cold blooded killer) I was a cold-blooded killer Born and raised Now let’s just say.. Let’s say this last word with violence I can take and give a beating I know how fleeting life is I see it with my sixth sense Your fear, your weaknesses, they lower your defence Got up once Too proud to crawl I know what it’s like to fall Got up once One time alone I’ll show you what it’s like to fall Let’s say this last word with violence I can take and give a beating I know how fleeting life is I see it with my sixth sense Your fear, your weaknesses, they lower your defence Got up once Too proud to crawl I know what it’s like to fall Got up once One time alone I’ll show you what it’s like to fall Yeah, yeah, yeah!
