BAD REPUTATION (now playing)
ANNIE WAS MY HOME-GIRL, HAD A LITTLE ROOM TO GROW I CAUGHT HER BY THE JUNGLE GYM, SLIDING DOWN FROM A POLE I ASKED HER IF SHE LIKED TO SWING, SHE SAID THAT SHE’D TRY ANYTHING FROM THAT MOMENT ON, I WAS WHIPPED AND COULDN’T LEAVE HER ALONE WHEN HIGH-SCHOOL CAME THERE WAS ANNIE TYPIN' ON HER PHONE. SHE HAD A HAIR IN A MESS, WHITE DRESS AND A RING IN HER NOSE. SHE PULLED OUT THAT CHERRY, LOLLI-POP, AND THAT'S WHEN I FELT MY HEART STOP. SHE WAS KISSIN' ON MY NECK IN THE BATHROOM, MY HEAD WAS READY TO BLOW. SHE DROPPED OUT OF SCHOOL, TRYIN’ TO MAKE HER LIFE ON HER OWN I HEARD SHE HAD A KID AND HER BOYFRIEND HIT THE ROAD WITH RED-LIPSTICK, SHE’S TURNING HER TRICKS, BUT I STILL NEED TO GET MY FIX ALWAYS A LITTLE HUNG OVER, BUSY CLEANING UP HER BROKEN HOME BUT THOSE HIGH-HEELED BOOTS HAVE GOT THE BOYS ALL OVER THE ROAD. IT'S JUST THE WAY YOU SWING THOSE HIPS AROUND, LOOKIN' FOR SOMEONE NEW TO FIX YOUR LIPS AROUND. YOU’RE THE TALK OF THE TOWN, THEY KNOW YOU’VE BEEN SLEEPIN’ AROUND.

SUNRISE
SATURDAY NIGHT THE MOON IS UP AND IT'S SHINING ON MY FACE. GOD ONLY KNOWS HOW MUCH I NEED TO LEAVE THIS PLACE. YESTERDAY SEEMS LIKE A DREAM AND I SCREAM TO GET OUT OF HERE. I'M BEGINNING TO SEE MY LIFE BECOME SO CLEAR. HOLDING ME TIGHT, I'M STARING DEEP INTO YOUR EYES. CAN'T WE STAY UP FROM DAWN TO DUSK UNTIL TOMORROW'S SUNRISE. BURNING IT OUT FROM WHEN I WAKE UP UNTIL THE MOMENT I RESIGN. I'M BEGINNING TO SEE MY LIFE BEFORE MY EYES. SUNRISE, TIRED EYES. I'VE BEEN SITTING AT THIS BAR ALL NIGHT. SUNRISE. TIRED EYES. SEE HOW MUCH I FILL MY GLASS TONIGHT. I LOOK TO MY LEFT, THERE'S A LADY STANDING NEXT TO ME. TRYING TO SMILE AS THE TEARS ARE RUNNING DOWN HER CHEEKS. I WATCH AS THEY RACE DOWN HER FACE CRASHING INTO HER LIPS. IT WAS A SIGHT I WASN'T ABLE TO RESIST. SO I WHISPERED TO HER, GENTLY. SHE SLOWLY TURNED TO ME. I DIDN'T HESITATE TO ASK IF SHE WOULD LIKE SOMETHING TO DRINK. AS I COULD SEE, SHE'S ALONE, HER RESISTANCE WAS LOW, AND ANYONE COULD TAKE HER HOME. WHEN YOU DRINK SO MUCH IT MAKES YOU SINK SO LOW.
BLACK COFFEE & THE WALKING DEAD
I SWEAR I'VE GONE IN CIRCLES DODGING YELLOW MACHINES, TRYING TO GET MY HEAD STRAIGHT. I TRY TO KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS IS ONLY A SCENE, AND I AM JUST A STOWAWAY. I THOUGHT I COULD RELATE TO THE GLASS COVERED MOUNTAINS HIDING IN THE SMOKE-SCREEN. QUARTERS FILL MY POCKET WITH A NEED TO FEED THE HOMELESS MAN INSIDE THE ALLEYWAY. PREACHERS SCREAM OF JESUS WHILE YOU WAIT FOR THE TRAIN. ANGEL, OR DEVIL, WON'T YOU SHOW ME THE WAY? HOLD ON, HOW DID THIS HAPPEN? LOOK AT EVERYTHING CHANGE. MY FORMER SELF IS GONNA PUSH ME AWAY. BLACK COFFEE POURING OUT THESE STRANGERS HANGING OUT ARE STATUES ALL MARCHING ALONG. I BOUGHT MYSELF A COMPASS, BREAKING FREE FROM THE MAP, LOST HERE, ON THE SUBWAY. I DRANK UP ALL THE WATER POURING OUT OF THE TAP, OH DAMN, I MADE ANOTHER MISTAKE. I'M GOING CRAZY, SIRENS SING ME TO SLEEP. SO WHAT'S THE HURRY, PEOPLE? LINING THE STREETS, A MILLION STREET-WALKERS ALWAYS SEEM SO PRETENTIOUS. AND NOT TO MENTION, CUT THE SOUND OF THE ENGINES. STUCK IN A SLOT-CAR, FACE TO THE GLASS. DEEP IN THE BLUR I SEE MY CLARITY PASS. GOOD MAN, IS MY REFLECTION GONNA SHOW ME THE PAST? I SEE MYSELF GO NOWHERE FAST. THIS IS THE SOUND OF HEAD HOLDING ON, BUT THIS CITY NEVER SLEEPS. NO, THIS CITY NEVER SLEEPS. THIS IS THE SOUND OF MY FEET MOVING ON. THIS IS THE SOUND OF MY HEAD HOLDING ON. THIS IS THE SOUND OF MY SOUL SHATTERING. IT'S BREAKING. THIS IS THE SOUND OF MY HEARTBREAK.
REMINISCENCE
WON'T YOU WEAR THIS RING? I'VE GOT A MILLION YEARS TO KILL. ONE LOOK INTO YOUR EYES AND MADE A WISH THAT TIME FOREVER LAY THIS STILL. STAND BY ME, BABY, WHISPER IN MY EAR. SING THAT SWEET SONG TO ME AGAIN. I COULD CARRY YOU, IF YOU WOULD CARRY ME. I WILL SAVE THIS DANCE, FOREVER YOURS. WE CAN MARRY BY THE OCEAN, LET'S SEAL IT WITH A KISS TONIGHT. AND WHILE YOUR FATHER'S GIVING YOU AWAY, YOU STOP TO WIPE THE TEARS FROM HIS EYES. I ALWAYS HEAR YOU SINGIN'. NOW I CAN'T IMAGINE LOVE WITHOUT THE BEATING OF YOUR HEART, HOW I DREAM THE YEARS GROW OLDER, AND WE'D NEVER FALL APART, THE DAY YOU BROUGHT ME BACK TO LIFE, YOU POURED YOUR SOUL INTO MINE. I'M GONNA STAND BY YOU BABY, WHISPER IN MY EAR, SING THAT SWEET SONG TO ME AGAIN AND I WOULD MARRY YOU, IF YOU COULD MARRY ME. I'LL SAVE THIS DANCE, FOREVER YOURS. I WOULD SAVE YOU, IF YOU COULD SAVE ME. FORVER, YOURS.
SECRET
IN THE DARK, I STUMBLE 'ROUND. THERE YOU ARE, YOU'VE FOUND ME NOW. FOR TONIGHT, WE CAN HIDE. NO ONE WILL KNOW, SO DON'T BE SHY. WE CAN ROLL AROUND UNTIL THE SUN APPEARS, AND THEN SOME MORE UNTIL I DISAPPEAR. I NEVER THOUGHT THAT I WOULD EVER BE LOVING YOU. IT'S A SHAME I'VE GOT TO LEAVE, CAUSE I DON'T WANNA LEAVE. WE'RE FRIENDS TO THEM, BUT IF THEY ONLY KNEW WHERE I'VE BEEN, AND ALL THE CRAZY THINGS WE DO. I'LL TRY MY BEST TO HOLD IT IN, BUT YOU'RE MY SWEET SURPRISE, COVERED IN SIN. I'LL NEVER HOLD YOU IN. IN YOUR ROOM, FLAT TO THE BED. IT MIGHT BE WRONG, BUT BABY I DON'T CARE. CAUSE WHEN WE'RE DONE, OH WE'RE FRIENDS AGAIN, SO LET'S CONTAIN OURSELVES IF WE CAN. I DON'T KNOW IF I CAN... UNTIL THEN, LET'S MAKE BELIEVE. TONIGHT YOU'RE MINE, AND THIS MOMENT FEELS SO RIGHT INSIDE, BUT WE CAN NEVER TELL A SOUL.
BLACK MAGIC RADIO
MY CAR HAS JUST RUN OUT OF GASOLINE. I'M FREAKIN' OUT, PHONE'S OUT OF BATTERY. UNDER SUMMER SUN I'M PRAYING WHILE I'M LYING IN THE STREET. I FEEL THE VULTURES TEAR THE HEART FROM MY SLEEVE. ALL OUT OF BREATH, I'VE GOT NO FUEL TO BURN. LET SWEET, OBSESSION BE MY LESSON LEARNED. OUT MY MIND, I'M SLIPPIN' UNDER, TRIPPIN' OVER MY TWO FEET. THAT DEVIL CAST HER SPELL ON ME. BUT I'M STEALING ANOTHER POISON APPLE FROM HER TREE. LIGHT IT UP, LET IT IN, BURN IT OUT, POURING OVER THE SIDES OF MY MOUTH. GONE WILD, FREE OF INHIBITION AND I'M COUNTING ALL THE MINUTES WHILE MY HEAD IS STILL SPINNING. HAD MY HEART RIPPED OUT, BUT IT WASN'T ENOUGH, YOU COULDN'T STOP ME NOW, I'M HERE BECAUSE I'M DYING FOR A PIECE OF YOUR CAKE. GET MY BELLY-FULL, DAYDREAMING OF THAT SWEET, SWEET TASTE. DOES LOVE JUST TRIP YOU OUT? WHAT IS SO SWEET ABOUT THIS SWEET, LOVE BREAKING YOU DOWN? ALL OF MY REOCCURING DREAMS; BLACK MAGIC'S GOT IT'S HOLD ON ME, BUT I'LL NEVER LOVE ANOTHER ONE. CAUSE YOU KNOW JUST HOW TO TURN ME ON. MY FEET WILL WANDER THROUGH THE DARK, DARK NIGHT. A LIVING, BREATHING SPAWN OF FRANKENSTEIN. I'M OUT MY MIND, GOTTA FEED MY CATATONIC CRUSH, BUT I KNOW TOO MUCH FOR THIS DREAM TO BE ALIVE.
WAIT FOR YOU
I STOOD INSIDE THE ROOM TODAY, BESIDE THE BED WHERE YOU AND I WOULD PLAY. HERE'S WHERE I WAIT FOR YOU. I WAIT FOR YOU. I WAIT FOR YOU. ALL ALONE INSIDE YOUR ROOM, I WAIT FOR YOU. THE PHOTOGRAPHS HELP ME REMEMBER ALL OF THE FUN WE HAD, BUT IT'S HARD FOR ME TO REMEMBER THE LAST TIME WE LAUGHED. HERE'S WHERE I WAIT FOR YOU TO COME HOME TO ME. LOVE, COME HOME SOON. THIS BED IS WARM ENOUGH FOR TWO. I WAIT FOR YOU. ALL ALONE INSIDE YOUR ROOM I WAIT FOR YOU. DON'T YOU ACT SO MAD. I HOPE ALL YOUR TROUBLES GET WASHED AWAY. I'LL DO MY BEST, I DARE NOT FALL TO SLEEP TONIGHT, TONIGHT. HIDING DEEP BETWEEN THE SHEETS, THERE LIE SO MANY MEMORIES. HAVE THEY ALL DISAPPEARED? ONE DAY YOU'LL COME BACK TO ME, WE'LL HAVE A MOMENT HERE TO SEIZE. OH, I WISH YOU WERE HERE NOW. WE SHARED THIS PILLOW, OH SO MANY TIMES BEFORE. ANY MOMENT NOW, I PRAY YOU'LL WALK RIGHT THROUGH THAT DOOR. I WONDER, I DO. WIDE AWAKE, I WONDER DO YOU LOVE ME ANYMORE. I WAIT FOR YOU. ALL ALONE INSIDE YOUR ROOM I WAIT FOR YOU TO TURN ON THE LIGHT. I WAIT FOR YOU. NOW I'M ALL ALONE INSIDE YOUR ROOM, I WAIT FOR YOU. I HOPE TO SEE YOU SOON CAUSE I'M GROWING TIRED OF WAITING, AND I NEVER WANT TO LOSE THIS FEELING YOU'VE GIVEN ME. AND I WANT TO BE THE FIRST YOU SEE. OH, I WAIT AROUND SOMEHOW, BUT I NEVER SEEM TO MIND. NO, I DON'T MIND WAITING FOR YOU
LIVE IN SYDICATION
LIVING THE SAME OLD STORY, OVER AND OVER AGAIN. A MILLION MOVING PICTURES SHOW ME WHERE I'VE BEEN. I WANT TO SEE THE FUTURE SCENES. I WANT THE IN-BETWEEN AND DO WHAT I PLEASE, WHEN I WANT. ANYTIME I WANT TO BREATHE, TAKE ME BACK TO THE START. NOW THERE'S NOTHING LEFT TO SAY, SYNDICATED EVERY DAY. SOON TO FADE AWAY. WAKING UP THE THE SAME OLD A.M. RADIO. ANOTHER DAYTIME DRAMA, WELCOME TO THE SHOW. I WANT THE CLOSE-UPS THAT YOU STOLE AWAY. I WANT ANOTHER ROLE, AND DO WHAT I PLEASE WHEN I WANT, ANYTIME I WANNA BREATHE, TAKE ME BACK TO THE START. NOW THERE'S NOTHING LEFT TO SAY, SYNDICATED EVERY DAY. SOON TO FADE. WERE THE BEST DAYS OF MY LIFE STOLEN AWAY FROM ME INSIDE THIS SCREAMING ROLLERCOASTER? I NEVER MADE THE MOST OF ANYTHING. NOW I WANNA DO THIS RIGHT, I DON'T WANNA WASTE MY LIFE IN SYNDICATION; FINAL DESTINATION, NOW THERE'S NO WAY OUT. TRACING MY STEPS, WHERE I'VE BEEN. PICKED MYSELF UP OFF THE FLOOR, BUT NOW I FALL BACK AGAIN. IS THERE MORE BETWEEN THESE TINY LINES? CAN I FIND MY WAY AROUND THIS TIME. WERE ALL THE BEST DAYS OF MY LIFE STOLEN AWAY FROM ME INSIDE THIS SCREAMING ROLLERCOASTER? I NEVER MADE THE MOST OF ANYTHING, BUT NOW I WANNA DO THIS RIGHT. I DON'T WANNA WASTE MY LIFE IN SYNDICATION; FINAL DESTINATION. NOW THERE'S NO WAY OUT. MY WHOLE WORLD, IT KEEPS ON TURNING, KEEPS ON TURNING 'ROUND AND 'ROUND AND MY WHOLE WORLD IT KEEPS ON TURNING, KEEPS ON TURNING 'ROUND AND 'ROUND.
CAR CRASH
IF I STARE AT THE SUN, PULL THE SIGHT FROM MY EYES. WOULD YOU HAND ME THE WHEEL? SAY YOU'RE TOO STONED TO DRIVE ON THIS COLD, WINTER NIGHT? AS THE SNOW TURNS TO RAIN, I'D SAY I'M LUCKY ALRIGHT TO HAVE YOU WITH A FIRE IN YOUR EYES AS THE LIGHTS START TO CHANGE. I HIT THE GAS TO THE FLOOR, AND THE TIRES START TO SPIN. AS THE RAIN STARTS TO POUR, I PICK THE SPEED UP AGAIN. NOW, ONLY MILES AWAY, JUST ME AND MY GIRL WITH HER FEET ON THE DASH. IT'S GETTING HARDER TO SEE THE ROAD UP AHEAD. I HIT THE BRAKES TOO FAST. THEN SUDDENLY I LOSE CONTROL, I LOSE THE ROAD, THE TIRES START TO SLIDE, I FEEL US START TO ROLL AS THE RADIO BLARES. WE'RE TURNING UPSIDE-DOWN AND I CAN HEAR YOU SCREAMING. REACHED OUT FOR YOUR HAND AND SAW MY LIFE FLASH RIGHT BEFORE MY EYES. FADE TO BLACK NOW. CAR CRASH, BLACK-OUT. IT WAS SOON I AWOKE, BODY BURNING WITH COLD. YOU LAY NEXT TO ME, RED-COVERED IN SNOW. I SAY BABY HOLD ON, JUST A FEW MINUTES MORE. I TRIED FOR A KISS, BUT YOU WERE ALREADY GONE. WAS IT ALL JUST A DREAM, YOU THERE NEXT TO ME? |
