What’s this little lieThey keep on telling meIt’s just another highThey keep on selling meI was only fiveThey fed me so much jiveThey said just have a ball Just be a Barbie dollThey churned and burned me outUntil they turned me outOver and over again Mama I’m strangeThe thoughts and the wants are the locksOn […]

Do It For The Rush
HeyCrawl out of that box nowCome on don’t stopClimb a little higher till you hear the limb popGrab onto that knife with the palm of your handAnd when you hear the brakes squealDon’t jerk just standYeah yeah Don’t be a heroDon’t do it to be toughThrow back your headDo it for the rush babyDo it […]

One Hour Later
It was cold so coldAnd one hour later the window was closedAnd the talk all of the talk was goneIt was late so lateAnd one hour later we unlocked the gateAnd the wine all of the wine was gone And it would not matter if I knew you for only a dayAnd it would not […]
