Rock Bottom 02:40
1-2-3 I can say I did it my way Wouldn’t wish it on anyone I’ve been diggin’ a ditch They say that life is a bitch It was over ‘fore it ever begun Punchin’ holes in drywall I can always find a stud A better man would know the lay of the land but As usual I’m stuck in the mud (x2) (Chorus) Brace for impact, steady your nerves, I’m about to hit rock bottom (x2) Misplaced cars and blackouts How’d I ever wind up here Morning confusion and I’ve got no conclusion Did I piss or did I spill my beer (x2) (Chorus) Rock [rock rock rock rock bottom] (x3) (Chorus)
3.
Ahhh Hey! 02:03
Hey, why don't we have some fun today I can’t wait ‘til tomorrow Milverine, a bronze Fonze The orange thing at the lakefront Hooo hey Hooo-ooo-ooo (x3) Hey, let's go to the beach today I can’t wait ‘til tomorrow Hooo hey Well-tanned Dick Bacon Bradford Beach blanket bingo Hooo hey Hooo-ooo-ooo (x3) Ahhh hey Hooo-ooo-ooo (x2) Hey

She works the floor from front to back Moves like a vintage Cadillac Oblivious to stares she swings alone, she swings alone I thought that I knew where it’s at My feet had on my lovers spats Pure misery wrapped up in leopard print It ain’t that smart, yes I’m aware But still I’d follow anywhere I’d trade a cheating heart for a creepin’ soul (Chorus) You took me back, your lovin’ soul, your givin’ me all, your givin’ me all your lovin’ [all your lovin’] soul What a prize for sweat stung eyes I’m still believing all those lies That led me off the path I’d stumbled on, I’d stumbled on It ain’t that smart, yes I’m aware But still I’d follow anywhere I’d trade my beating heart for a lovin’ soul (Chorus) All your lovin’ [all your lovin’] All your lovin’ [all your lovin’] soul

Three Steps 02:54
In the night we play I can’t look the wrong way One day it’s a kiss The next it’s your fist Keeps me on my toes Higher highs, lower lows On my arm one night The next a public fight Good day, bad day, what’ll it be I’m not waitin’ ‘round to see (Chorus) I take one step, out the door [You never wanted, you never wanted to leave] I couldn’t take it anymore [You never wanted, you never wanted me] I take one step, out the door [You never wanted, you never wanted to leave] Couldn’t take it, take it, anymore I could go or stay You’ve got nothing to say And I don’t need forgivin’ Was I really livin’ Thinkin’ of myself I could find someone else But in the back of my mind I know I’ll never find Good times, bad times, which’ll it be I’m just waiting round to see (Chorus) You thought unattended that my eager eye would wander But absences in this case has only made the thing stronger I thought that I just couldn’t stand another bout Who’d of ever thought that’s what I could not do without (Chorus)
6.
Dead Souls 03:14
Spinning wheels for years now but ya, but ya don’t make the scene You’ve got some lovers and some haters, but there’s nothing in between You’ve been playing all alone in the forest, you didn’t make a sound There’s another world of untapped potential, waiting underground (Chorus) [Dead souls] Improve a body’s station [Dead souls] Like Gogol [Dead souls] It’s Peter’s foundation [Dead Souls] Come on Prince Charming with an army like ya, like you’ve been there before Gotta ooze with the schmooze, maybe, just maybe they’ll open up the door Apply some makeup and some stardust droogie, there’s no more Davey Jones Cross a bridge on the backs of the nameless, no one makes it alone (Chorus) And we all applaud, we love the perfect fraud [And we all applaud, we love the perfect fraud] (x2) It gets harder to disarm them, now that they are under your skin How’s about a little clarification, not by the hair of my chin Your so worried they won’t letcha, if they catch ya, wasn’t a problem before Is it better to be laughed at, or to be ignored (Chorus x2)
7.
It's been a long dark alley, not a peak in the valley, it’s true If there’s an axe to grind, some will always find, bad news But there’s a glimmer on the lake and it gives me back my faith, renewed If’n a couple more miles, it’ll make you smile, I’ll do I don’t care what happens out there (x2) (Chorus) Cuz it gives me more, it gives me more time with you There ain’t nothin else, there ain’t nothin that we gotta do I said it gives me more time it gives me more time with you Like rats in holes, with rotting souls, nothing to do And when a wisp of a cloud, starts to look like a shroud, all lose Sitting out all hours, while the whole world cowers, so cool And then I look in your eyes and I realize, it’s true I don’t care what happens out there (x2) (Chorus) I said it gives me more time with you Said it gives me more time, we’re having good times Yeah, it gives me more time, it gives me more time with you Said it gives me more time, gives me more time with you
8.
Hot Mess 02:11
Like a mental break down A hot mess and a shakedown A universal silence Or kick up the violence (Chorus) You’re always wasted on the phone [You won’t tell me, you won’t tell me] You’re always callin’, never leave me alone [You won’t tell me, you won’t tell me] I thought I broke that fishing line [You won’t tell me, you won’t tell me] I thought I told you, girl….I ain’t got the time Like a mental breakdown A hot mess in action A total mental attraction Still I’m gettin no action (Chorus) Like a mental breakdown A hot mess and a shakedown A universal silence Or kick up the violence (Chorus)
9.
(Chorus) Whoa ooh, I love everything Whoa ooh, I love everything I don’t really have to make the world a better place I just have to find myself, myself a little space (Chorus) A place where I like what I see and I do what I like And if you are there with me, we’ll that is really just alright and I say (Chorus)

Aauugghhaaww The groveling flamingo Aauugghhaaww Puts both feet down and shuts one eye Cause a rocker’s gotta stabilize (omitted for brevity) The groveling flamingo
11.
Time Goes By 02:52
It creeps without a sound Deep in the back of your mind Focus on the road You’ll see it in the corner of your eye A stealthy saboteur One step ahead all the time (Chorus) Not mass destruction [As time goes by] A daily obstruction [As time goes by] You’ll see less clearly [As time goes by] And you’ll pay dearly, as it ever so stealthy eats up your soul Gotta hand in all the plans It goes up, it may not come down Don’t care where it lands He’ll kill them the next time around As fated as it seems You scream but it don’t make a sound (Chorus x2)
12.
Another Day 02:28
I’ll say this about that Oh no it’s just old hat If it’s not one thing, it’s the other If I may interject Let’s change the dialect You use that mouth to kiss your mother (Chorus) It’s for another day Be that as it may It’s for another day, it’s for another day No limits can’t be overcome Epiphany can’t be outrun At least nobody cares Inspired and oppressed It is what suits the best There must be a story there (Chorus x4)
13.
I stare out, at the faces in the crowd Thoughts of one, their shouts a fading hum Oblivious to their dance, I sit here hoping that by chance That you walk through the door (Chorus) I know, I know, I know The life I bleed is the one I need I hope, I hope, I hope It’s worth the distance between, distance between, you and me Night after night, our efforts reward Dark lows, bright highs, a heavy load Yet the need to play, it seems to pull me further away You know, you know, it’d end this way (Chorus) I stare out, at the faces in the crowd Thoughts of one, their shouts a fading hum It’s the ache I have to bear, it is the mask I have to wear And I, and I, just wish you cared (Chorus x2)
