Where Will I Go? will it end in the bordertown? she queens a pawn in the rain laugh about, what you sayin' to me the girl, she got a swing i'm tired of black and blue i'm you're raging operator will you blow?, i'm you're saint bring me down with a ring where will I go from here? it's too dark to see juggling through the shadows follow the river into the night somewhere out there in the distance i find myself in a trap there must have been a serious plan somehow it got lost even if I could remember your medicine is strong you set me down under it feels like a ancient stuff

Livin' It Up 04:26
Livin' It Up Jacky, she got high on camelot wouldn't stop on rainy days saw her floating on her golden path she seemed to be so far away livin' it up just livin' it up she's livin' it up just livin' it up Grace, she found her place right in the middle she wasn't afraid at all they believed she came from paradise where she badly hit a wall she' s gonna break free Celine felt in love so madly she would not switch it off you see them scars upon her skin just a stripdown from her heart Georgia, she was so hard to catch most wanted and always on the run meanwhile she has two kids in Iowa she's late with another one
3.
Walls 04:38
Walls you're livin' in a dreamland where's nothing like it seems you know how to do it, learned to love how it feels her mom she taught you many reasons to hide the lady she came naked, but you wouldn't slide walls tumblin' around, walls come tumblin' down you think you're still ridin' the beast you're trillions of lightyears from home so it seems someone he told you, your love is in vain well, your house is burnin' and you're goin' down the drain your mirror is broken, it drives you insane rockets are risin', who's gonna stop the rain? in the end you had it all, was it enough? you thought about love, it was rough

World Slowin' Down out in the rain with a old friend of mine he doesn't talk much just sets me back in line tonight all flowers will start to bloom rain all over me buddy we should let it roll and free me from numbers come tumblin' down i've been running since money came my way there was power and I loved to play these games now we're goin' down and there's panic in the streets i was a fool to believe but sometimes I feel like it's the end of time but sometimes I feel i feel like a child out of time yeah, my world is slowin' down i am takin' all the time the world's slowin' down and maybe, i'm just dyin' welcome to the material world if you think you loose you still might gonna win and if you're reelin' in the years let's climb the Chinese Wall money out of nothin' and you gonna buy me drink i won't stop dealin' i will take off from the ground i won't stop buyin' cause everyone's on the run you runnin' now over the deep blue sea and you're eyes are the eyes of a dealer tonight all flowers will start to bloom rain all over me buddy but sometimes I feel like it's the end of time i feel like a child out of time yeah, my world is slowing' down i am takin' all the time my world's slowing' down and maybe, i'm just dyin'

Ready For The Good Life i'm a seeker and i'm reelin' through the years you keep me feedin' all the rest of my tears i've been runnin' from northwest to south can't face a place to hide you find me lowdown, a wanderer between fate and guilt give me a reason i'm ready i'm ready for the good live before we'll hit the sun burn it all up they saved the rights on good will all battleships down i know you won't pay your bill drowned in the plenty of life is there anything you don't need? hang out with the sick boys hang out with a gun give me a reason i'm ready i'm ready for the good live before we'll hit the sun nothing left to do in this world of plenty
6.
Let Me Take You Down it feels like a regular day you slept like a dog nothing's gonna change that much anyway you're barkin' as loud as you can to be not noticed you remember this car of idiots and this one eyed preacher behind the wheel he gave a promise no one could keep it's all too bright overcivilized and shining make me feel let me take you down give me something real let me take you down from nothin' real gimme something real things are blowin' hard too much believe and too much energy just enough to make you feel just a thin line between fiction and "almost real" a verified livin' like on a crashed train it came with unverified love, big ideas, forgotten truth and mistaken beauty won't buy me a thrill but some they know the difference they won't take that flight do I live tomorrow? or do I live to die? make me feel let me take you down give me something real let me take you down from nothin' real gimme something real
7.

On A Night Like This standin' in the doorway saw you preachin', you were down low it wasn't supposed to be a sentimental one you were like, I'm in here for the future i'm gonna leave this shotgun shack wrong pace, wrong chimes? to raise the anchor from ancient history you swept your head towards the sleeping gun while tomorrows failure and your jealousy will burn your feet and all your enemies get ready to run on a night like this we're all down the line we're out of our heads on a night like this now you're down, down to conspiracy wanna roll free like it used to be trapped, lost, out of space and time you wanna feel the beat on your skin again scream out loud but gravity is high and your alibis are thin lately your friend got lost under some loose command became a number under C19 now how you gonna deal with that, would you sacrifice? would there be someone to unravel you, solace you till your juiced? on a night like this we're all down the line we're out of our heads on a night like this you started out one day to dance with the kingman, he came with a burst and took your gold away he offered all these windy upperclass pleasures and very little truth instead, you became afraid to loose all this small-town illusions, all that big time bash on your favored southern isle I hear some people say, it's goin' down on a night like this we're all down the line we're out of our heads on a night like this
