SUGAR AIN'T SO SWEET

new york city
has put the devil in me
down to missouri
my daddy was a poor boy
he ain't got nothing
just another hard-luck champion
got to earn that money
got to get himself a better way
around the back, outside the right man's shack
see the joker and the fallen hero
just beggin' for some wine and a little time
to pick themselves up from zero
i don't want no free ride cause i got too much pride
but a pain like this i'll sure remember
seems luck is only bad and love is only sad
when life is now or never
hey, hey, hey what da ya say?
new york city
has put the devil in me
down in missouri
my daddy was a poor boy
he ain't got nothing
just another hard-luck champion
got to earn his money
got to get himself a better way
[guitar solo]
goin' southbound on the break
went to the old man to find the answer
and he said the river knows
been to the old man to hear the story
and this is how the story goes
it goes bang! and you're dead!
life's like a bullet to the head
boy there ain't no black or white
only wrong and right, what da ya say?
new york city
has put the devil in me
down in missouri

FIRE
superman inside my brain
hit me like a rumblin' train
this crucifixion sets me free
mind-addiction pulling me
into a void so cold and real
hammers like a ton of steel
expansion lies beyond decay
push all the limits until they crumble
no one can find me here
i'm on fire blazin' fierce
yeah the end is oh so near
no you can touch me here
i'm a fire blazin' fierce
everything down in here is getting all so clear
birth of a man first flower shines
watch them breed and come alive
the unborn self so rarely seen
hallucination eating me
these thoughts my soul try to conceal
just hammer on 'til i reveal
all the secrets that pave the way
push all the limits until they crumble
no one can find me here
i'm on fire blazin' fierce
yeah the end is oh so near
no you can touch me here
see, i'm a fire blazin' fierce
everything is getting all so clear
down in here
[guitar solo]
no one can find me here
i'm on fire blazin' fierce
yeah the end is oh so near
no you can touch me here
see, i'm a fire blazin' fierce
everything down in here is getting all so clear
i'm on fire
it's on fire
i walk down terror boulevard and i go alone
he said the end is terrible even for the good
there is no moment of truth yet i must endure
stretch the outer limits baby i'm searchin' for the cure
i must reach the pinnacle high to be set free
well past this hideous nothing which devours me
and i'm willing to sacrifice all this primal space
for one minute of solitude found in this other place
i'm rolling like a winter tide
unlock the doorways of your mind
for isolation works on the time we borrow
motion breaks the silent tide
vision seeks but will not find
for all the answers lie beyond tomorrow, yeah
no one can find me here
i'm on fire blazin' fierce
yeah the end is oh so near
no you can touch me here
see, i'm a fire blazin' fierce
everything is getting all so clear
down in here
i'm looking for a new way lady
i got to get a new trip baby
can't ya see i'm on my way
BLOOD RUNS RED
watch it people
blood on the feather
blood on my father
and now it's a comin' down quick, look out
saw my father indian
dying down in garbage land
now misery won't say goodbye
man i'm all messed up inside
like billy jack's soul attack
i'm one injun you won't forget
bad mutha rollin' mean and proud
see the lord of hate, come down
down, falling gently
stargazin' child
i'm silent and sick
when i lose my head
and you go down quick
the blood runs red
and now you're dead
the blood runs red
from love's revenge
the blood runs red
and now you're dead
the blood runs red
i'm glass on skin
spiritman my crazy friend
i'm broken glass across the skin
baby come i'm undone
yes i am the red man's son
a child insane in voodoo's game
they'll ride my carousel of pain
broke promise is the hollow sound
makes my anger ring so loud
down, falling gently
some lightning white
and a little junk
now the old chief rides
on a different horse
the blood runs red
and now you're dead
the blood runs red
from love's revenge
the blood runs red
and now you're dead
the blood runs red
i'm glass on skin
ha ha ha, ya better find the preacherman people
see the water flow down like a war dance in the rain
[guitar solo]
down, falling gently
stargazin' child
i'm electric trip
i set the spirit wild
and let the beauty drip
the blood runs red
and now you're dead
the blood runs red
from love's revenge
the blood runs red
and now you're dead
the blood runs red
i'm glass on skin
SISTER BLUE
bless this soul away
please lovin' sister don't show me no pain
turn up the joy in this dyin' boy
funny how the good ones always seem to destroy
'round and 'round lay down your soul
i know it hurts to let it go
sister moon keep a shinin' on
sister blue i won't let you down
said hey sister blue
lord i've given everything to you
i crucified me just to set love free
so don't you paint me a pretty picture
then wash it all away
i've been looking for a heart
roll me like a shootin' star
if you're everything you seem
sister blue won't you set me free today
it ain't easy to believe in love
[guitar solo]
waitin' on a dream
child of the goldest memory
she'll be a healin' these scars from a world so dark
think i'll die just a little today and write you this song
'round and 'round lay down your soul
i know it hurts to let it go
sister moon keep a shinin' on
sister blue i won't drag you down today
it ain't easy to believe
[guitar solo]
WOKE UP THIS MORNING
sunshine, goodbye
she was lovely give her back
so damn lovely i want her back
woke up this morning
kicked in the door
door to the world
war on the world
it's time to make them see
time to make them plead
i'm gonna claw the open sore until it starts to bleed
she was lovely give her back
so damn lovely i want her the way she used to be
wait for the evening
she never comes
beautiful girl
raped like a whore
couldn't make them see
giving her a disease
infected womb will perish, there's a sickness in the seed
war on the world
this means war
[guitar solo]
sunshine, goodbye, war
she was lovely give her back
so damn lovely i want her for that last time
woke up this morning
looked for the world
but she was gone
torn from her hole
couldn't make them see
poison veins don't feed
violated earth aborted drowned in the disease
yes, you will believe
lord, don't you think they saw it coming!
INNOCENCE
momma's hurtin' but she don't cry
just drown her sorrows in another's wine
daddy left us here to die
the hour is too late for the good life
made of flesh and bone
i'm a suicide hero, yes i will return
innocence is gone
lord it's so easy, cause i've got nothing to lose
so they kick me harder but i'm not riled
they can't break me, i got murder in my style
they sent me off on that no-chance train
must have lost my ticket, for the american dream
make me an idol
think they got the money, dollar to buy my soul
but i won't be controlled
and it hurts 'em so bad, knowing they can't hold me
they can't hold me
sit in front of the tv set, light another cigarette
always tryin' to forget you're lonely
man on the tv set, lights another cigarette
he's only tryin' to forget he's lonely
momma's hurtin' for yesterday
you can have it all, but there's a price to pay
you change the channel, but i don't go away
you took love from her, but you can't take it from me
made of flesh and bone
i'm a suicide hero, yes i will return
and innocence is gone
but lord it's so easy 'cause i got nothing to lose
innocence
TOUCH YOU
been down so long
i need something to move me
honey sing that song
the one that kills these lonelies
you're my crown of thorns dressed in a pretty little smile
i can give you a reason to stay for a while
groove so mean in motion it hurts just to touch
come on and take my hand and i'll show you how to, yeah!
let me touch you
said baby shine
like flowers in the springtime
cold hazel eyes
put here to make the world scream
made of flesh and blood and a lightning mind
tear the heart apart leave a big hole inside
but you ain't ever had nothing like me
and i ain't lookin' for love but something i really need
so won't you let me touch you
[guitar solo]
we got to get it on
we got to make it move
we got to get it on
ya got to dig the groove, so touch it!
[guitar solo]
by the morning sun
exhaustion cries i love you
sister come on
we both know motion burns thru
so let's take and take yeah, take this so high
let it fly until our hearts collide
set it free until our body and soul are torn
we need an addiction to call our very own
so won't you let me touch you
touch it!
