Slow Down!

Slow down!
But I can hardly wait.
Slow down!
Or the earth is gonna quake
Under you, Under you, Under you, Under you
Slow down!
There's mountains up ahead.
Slow down!
And make a little bread.
For you, for you, for you, for you.
Cause all my blood.
It don't burn the same.
I found it all has been spilt in vain.
But when the music plays, I get carried away.
Wake up!
Cause it's not gonna last.
Wake up!
Or time is gonna pass.
By you, by you, by you, by you.
Wake up!
From memories of the past.
Wake up!
Or shadows will be cast.
O'er you, o'er you, o'er you

Bells and Mottos
03:30
|

What does it take? I can't escape the bells and mottos.
Cause they don't want me here. They've made it clear my time is borrowed.
I want to clear the slate, but I can't relate, so I'm drowned in sorrow.
Now they can bring me back cause I'm so relaxed and give in to the throttle.
When I know that real love doesn't do that.
And I know that no one seems to care.
All I know is my love leaves me broken down and blue, in the morning when I found my dreams came true.
So hold on to me with a can of grease and forget to follow.
Cause I won't be back until I relapse on pills I can't swallow.
And I'm not at ease. Only find my peace at the end of the bottle.
And when I'm not here, the crowd will cheer that there is no tomorrow in a false bravado.

Stickin' With Me

(Verse 1)
You'll never find me once I break the chains.
You'll never find me cause I lost my brain.
You'll never find me cause I'm off the road and I have lost the way.
(Verse 2)
My mind is freaking have I lost my place
My mind is freaking have I lost the race
My mind is freaking cause I'm on my own and in a foreign place
(Chorus)
I'm not sticking to love, it's not working.
I'm sticking to me.
I'm not sticking to love til' I find the key.
Not sticking to love, it's not working.
I'm sticking to me. Not sticking to love til' I find the key.
(Verse 3)
You'll never find me once I break the chains.
You'll never find me cause I lost my brain.
You'll never find me cause I'm off the road and I have lost the way.

WOAH!

Heavy duty woman, won't you ever drop it down for me?
I said heavy duty woman, won't you ever drop it down for me?
I've got a whole lot of money and you're hard to please.
Tell me pretty baby have you ever stopped to wait for less.
I said tell me pretty baby have you ever stopped to wait for less.
I've got a whole lot of money and a fresh tank of gas.
(Chorus)
I said Woah!
Go on and drop it down for low
I said Woah!
Go on and drop it down for low
I've got a whole lot of money that I'm bound to blow.

Food Library

Stumbled on her in the dead of night.
The clock was ticking but the time was right.
I said baby won't you come my way.
And we can make it to the library.
Well tell me honey are you free or booked.
Cause all these people check you out and look.
Set your imagination free by the end of the night while every turn of the page makes you feel alright.
Then, soon enough you'll be living in a fantasy.
If you come read with me.
Tell me baby, can you see the signs?
Why don't you take a closer look and read between the lines?
I'll help you search the dewey decimal.
Cause I know that you've been searching for me high and low.
Why don't you meet me in the overflow?
And the things we can read babe I just don't know.
I know the words I'm writing down are only meant to impress and most importantly to get you out of your dress.
I put them on a page cause I don't have nothing to say.
Just let them take you away.

Bi-Polar Express

And it comes to me now as I'm falling asleep.
Laying in the dragons keep.
That I laid it on the line for you and I'm leaving here with nothing to prove.
Cause whether it's brave or a disease of the mind, I think about you all of the time.
Waste away, I'm like the soles of my shoes.
Close my eyes, I'm only seeing in blue.
And I'm not ready for what comes now.
Cause what goes up always comes back down.
Well I hope that god blessed you because time is going to test you
And you're enough to make me bitter.
But mama didn't raise no quitter.
Well I hope that god blessed you cause I don't know just what to do.
Because soccer moms and atom bombs all march to the same beat.
And I roll along while vagabonds are reaching at my feet.
As the smoke carries away all of the holes inside my head, sold my soul to all the jokers dealing bread.
For ten bucks a head.
Well if they gave me a couple of pennies to speak.
I'd talk about how talking is cheap.
What you say is not the things that you do.
So why you talk like you've got nothing to lose?
And whether it's brave or a disease of the mind, I think about you all of the time.
Always dancing in the walls of my tombs.
Like a treasure in a temple of doom.
And I'm not ready for what comes now.
No I'm not ready to come back down.
I can't find what I'm meant to.
But I hope that I blessed you.
Cause you're enough to make me bitter.
To break my heart until it splinters and I know that I'd let you.
And I don't know just what to do.
Because soccer moms and atom bombs all march to the same beat.
And I roll along while vagabonds are reaching at my feet.
As the smoke carries away all of the holes inside my head, sold my soul to all the jokers dealing bread.
For ten bucks a head.

Don't Ask Why
03:01
|

Quit falling flat on your face, you've got to go and do something.
It's alway bitter to taste, all alone on the moon.
It's only time that you waste when you sit and do nothing.
So what should I do? What should I do? What should I do?
(Chorus)
Don't ask why!
Why should I go, if there's nothing?
Don't ask why!
Why should it roll, if it can't?
Don't ask why!
Why should I go, to the lengths that I would go when it's early in the morning and I ain't had a bit of sleep?
(Bridge)
Now we're reaching the hours of dawn.
And I'm singing the same damn songs.
When the road up aheads looking bleak, and you can't stand on both of your feet, well I'm begging you listen to me.
(Chorus) x2
