Pretty Girl 04:12
lyrics
buy track
Pretty Girl The first time that I saw her She was marching on a parade in the avenue She was demonstrating Everything she wanted Everything she needed Oh pretty girl With the long long nails I wish I could take a photo I'd keep it in my office up on the wall I'd tell my son it's art He wouldn't mind looking at her at all The way she moves like a dancer Reminds me of a princess stuck in a castle Oh pretty girl With the confidence of a man The way she dances down the street It looks like a merry-go-round lost in space I look at her thighs moving fast It looks like she has at least seven of them Her hips go up and down And I can see something as she turns round Oh pretty girl With the confidence of a man

Las Vegas Made Me Sad 04:11
lyrics

Las Vegas Made Me Sad Everybody Is spending their Money Like zombies They keep pressing their Cassino Machines It’s hard to believe but Las Vegas made me Sad Look at all these jerks They do too much effort To look like they’re having such fun While the beggars are out cookin’ in the sun Nobody cares but Las Vegas made me sad There’s a Japanese dealer That won’t trust your ID She won’t even tell you if You loose the game (‘cause she’s not in the mood to) I made twenty bucks but Las Vegas left me broke Everywhere I look there’s Something that reminds my own world All the news of home you read Just give you the blues I ain’t gonna spend my money no more ‘Cause Las Vegas made me sad

Better Person 03:18
lyrics

Better Person The truth is that I still hold grudges from you It’s been so many years and I wish I was mature And accept your silent apologies But I guess I’m not that easy going person That knows how to deal with the past Five years past And I’m still afraid of you Five years past And my worst nightmare come true But just for tonight ‘Cause tomorrow I’ll be a better person Guess I was right that whole time It wasn’t just neurosis from my sick mind I may want you to admit it C’mon admit it I was right I was seeing clear Five years past And I’m still afraid of you Five years past And my worst nightmare come true But just for tonight ‘Cause tomorrow I’ll be a better person Calmin’ down There’s nothing to worry Nothing to threaten Nothing to fear Sounds like a silly joke No more feelings to joke I can breathe I can rest Feel the air on my chest

Sad Affair Oh this love Is a sad affair I don't know what you're doing But that just ain't fair Oh ma What a sad affair You've tried to grow me But that wasn't my plan Oh this labour Is such a sad affair Everything I do Is for those stupid men Oh this town Is placed a sad affair People are invisible And no one sees you there Oh this girl She's such a sad affair She can't have it all She doesn't even care Oh this life What a sad affair You spend your life tryin'a'hide And soon you will be dead

Spirit Desire 05:28
lyrics

Spirit Desire Young spirit is searching It has the angry youth's passion It has delusions of a history book Young hurricane is whirling It has distinguished opinion It has distinguished appearance Spirit Desire We will fall Young spirit is highlighted It has the energy of a lion It's setting guitars on fire Young blooming doesn't give a shit It's not supposed to be perfect It's not making much sense Spirit Desire We will fall Young spirit's lost

Noise Ring 04:33
lyrics

Noise Ring In a dark room Curtain shuts Low beam Density Suddenly The carpet turned A noise ring And I feel Like I've been Dropped from Somebody's hand A huge crowd For a tiny space Everyone sits So we can see Suddenly She leaves And ain't coming back And I feel Like I've been Dropped from Somebody's hand When he came He crossed the stage The noise blast Blew my ears Suddenly The lights are out And he disappears And I feel Like I've been Dropped from Somebody's hand

Bohemian's Agony 02:50
lyrics

Bohemian’s Agony I sat the beauty on my lap And I felt The bitterness Of a life Made of excess I ran from misery Looked for constancy And created A Whole war Against Myself Oh the spring Turned me an idiot I can’t help it How sad My own self pity Lying there in the mud Crime neighborhood Tried to fool My own madness I’ve booked my season In hell With all the poets That once stepped This land Oh the spring Turned me an idiot I can’t help it How sad The spring Turned me an idiot I can’t help it How sad My own self pity

She Said 02:22
lyrics
buy track
She Said Pressing herself against the pane She turns to not face his crazy eyes Looks out the road and car lights She doesn’t wanna touch his arm Feels dizzy but that’s just his charm He insists, he won’t take no She has no right to turn him down Only with a look or a frown Like she did to so many before ‘Cause he tried even more But she said Stop Get your shit away I don’t even know you well And I don’t care ‘bout your sick plans He moans as if it’s a tough game That’s just his disgusting joy Acting as if he found a toy She feels like a puppet on strings There’s no desire so she’ll cut off his fake wings But she said Stop Get your shit away I don’t even know you well And I don’t care ‘bout your sick plans

I Hate My Job What’s the meaning of this? I’ve been waiting for a chance To practice what I’ve been taught Thirst brought me to this hole Where I’ve been stuck No, I won’t I deny What’s the meaning of this? I’ve been waiting for a chance To get out of this machine Hunger brought me to this line Where I’ve been stuck No, I won’t I deny
