1. TRUE NATURE

Power tripping your luck is switched
Oh, so now it's funny
When it's your turn is to laugh
You go poke the running joke

Scoring points with God
Get no perfect marks
But your grades keep falling
How you treat the weak is
Your true nature calling

Porn chick calls herself a therapist
Call it what it is
For all the money in the world
We'll go to war you backward hero's

Come to rescue you
Just to lien on you
With interests soaring
How you treat the weak is
Your true nature calling

Please believe
We still live and breathe
Through native tongue
And poetry
All those years we believed

Scoring points with God
Get no perfect marks
But your grades keep falling
How you treat the weak is
Your true nature calling


2. STRAYS

Who's car am I driving in
You picked up a handful
I can't remember your name
I always seem to get lost
But I'm always finding trouble
Oh, I'm always finding trouble
And the road it fades away
And the road it's getting thinner

Get by on my personality
My name
My name is baby

I'm camera ready, smiling and thrilled
A real a cooperator
Oh, I'm so cooperative

And the road it fades away
And the road it's getting thinner
And the road it fades away
And the road it's getting thinner

Ladies clink their glasses
Pretend to run off men
Sending out their signals
Into the night
Timing it right

No one listened to me back home
But you are talking partners
Like jumping in bed

The night is swelling off we go
Shoulder to shoulder
Man, you're pretty deep

And the road it fades away
And the road it's getting thinner
And the road it fades away
And the road it's getting thinner

This is my lucky day
I'm just a pick up stray
Just a pick up stray
Just a pick up stray
Just a pick up stray


3. JUST BECAUSE

If I were you
I'd better watch out
When was the last time
You did anything
Not for me
Or any one else

Just because
Just because
You, you really should have known
Yeah you, you really should have known
Just because
Just because

You got the most
But nobody loves you
Nobody has to

Just because
Just because

You, you really should have known
Yeah you, I think you really should have known
Just because
Just because

When we first met
We passed around gifts
That was a long time ago
And yours didn't fit

Yeah you, you really should have known
Yeah you, oh you really should have known
Just because
Just because
Just because


4. THE PRICE I PAY

I always do the wrong thing
But for a very good reason
Always do it wrong
But it feels right
So forgive me now
And forgive me later
I'll pay you back

I always do the wrong thing
For a very good reason
Always do it wrong
But it feels right
I could have it, but I walked away
Now I won't miss out, not even one day
What I lost off the line
I bring back all in my good time

There ain't no other way
Because this is
The price
It's the price
Always the price I pay

I see you, you're going places
So, let's get the hell out of here
I'm a big liver man at the table
I got my long cock drawn
I'm able to lay you out!

There ain't no other way
Because this is
The price
It's the price
Always the price I pay

Always having a good time
Always searching for more
Flying now
Paying later
I'm flying now

I'm laying in a bath of hot water
Hot water always my case
Finally nothing to say
Just put the cloth right over my face

There ain't no other way
Because this is
The price
It's the price

Always the price I pay
I got to thrust it out!
The price that I pay
I got to get it out

Always
Always the price that I pay


5. THE RICHES

I loved standing by the water and just knowing what it's for
It's all right to swim and sip it- let me have a little more
Like my woman like my shower- get them hot until their steaming
Love to find a little spot- nice and shady that's for dreaming of the riches

Oh, tell me where are you hidden
Ready or not man, I'm coming in
Into the life
Into the life
Into to the life of riches

Stretching out in the sun, like a cat in the window
Hillside changing color- as I'm watching shadows throw
I'm laughing that is rich, it puts my stomach in a stitches
Early birdie from a perch, looking down can see all the worlds' riches

Oh, tell me where are you hidden
Ready or not man, I'm coming in
Into the life
Into the life
Into to the life of riches

I'm never looking over my shoulder again
Want to buy my time and finally own my fate
If you tell me no then I really must insist
And when the hunt is over kiss me on my lips
Kisses

So let's talk 'bout our plan- you can count is gonna work
Carry on feel immortal- at the risk of getting hurt
I'm praying that it rains- so some day we'll be sowing
Living through a little pain- no complaining as were training for the riches

Oh, tell me where are you hidden
Oh, all of a sudden
There you are

I'm happy that the sky is blue and that the earth is green
And that there's lots of fresh clean air sandwiched in between
I love watching as the snow makes brushes out of trees
And swinging from the tops of my guarantees

I'm happy that the sky is blue and that the earth is green
And that there's lots of fresh clean air sandwiched in between
I love watching as the snow makes brushes out of trees
And swinging from the tops of my guarantees


6. SUPERHERO

You were smiling by my table
Had to call up everyone that day
A beautiful mind and body
What a happy ending I see

My mind had been enabled
In a memory you overflowed
Want to be your superhero
Even if I tumble fall

I'm ok
You have that effect on me
But I need you desperately
You know I need you desperately

Brick or stone cannot hurt me
Madmen around the city go
They attack I'll bring them down
Making their chances super low

Oh my, pretty naval
Dimple cheek, a face I adore
Want to be your superhero
Falling from a running horse

I'm ok
You have that effect on me
But I need you desperately
You know I need you desperately

I oh, I
Hold to that elusion
I, oh I
I'm not your average guy

Other guys they won't dare to
Join the line in order you peck
When they introduced me to you
My face had turned to super red
Your steady beck and call boy
Playing on the piano
Want to be your superhero
Not afraid to tumble fall

I'm ok
You have that effect on me
But I need you desperately
You know I need you desperately

Want to be your superhero
Yeah I want to be your superhero
I want to be your superhero
Oh I want to be your superhero


7. WRONG GIRL

You messed with the wrong girl
She but small but she's fierce
She shattered the glass out
With the highs of a heel
You led with the wrong line
When you called her cunt and all
So what make's a guy think
That it hurts a girl

It don't hurt a girl
She loves her dangerous play
Kicks and screams as she dances
Keeps a pretty face

You messed with the wrong girl
She has her ways and means
Laughs at the traffic
From the easy streets
Enters in cages
With no bites when she leaves
If guys are too rough now
Then that's what you think

It don't hurt a girl
She loves her dangerous play
Kicks and screams as she dances
Keeps a pretty face

She's like a mother eagle
Coming down
She's like a mother eagle
Coming down

Oh now she's cutting every corner
She's tearing up the grass
'Cause cars ain't for parking man
A car's what you pass

It don't stop a girl
She loves her dangerous play
Kicks and screams as she dances
Keeps a pretty face
Oh, I love her pretty face
I love her pretty face
What a pretty face


8. EVERYBODY’S FRIEND

Hey man where did you go
Thought I, but I guess
I don't know you
Gave you my heart
You looked to take it apart
Hey man what did you do
Walked away we weren't through
Last time was a fake shaken head
Now I think it must be said

Hey man
Can't be everybody's friend
Hey man
Can't be everybody's friend

Man of peace
Man of war
Tell me who knows more
People gathering by the well
I think we could meet up again

Hey man
Can't be everybody's friend
Hey man
Can't be everybody's friend

Hey man
Can't be everybody's friend
Ain't no way man
To be everybody's friend


9. SUFFER SOME

She's so lucky that she had to suffer some
Left her happy home began to drink and slum
She's got problems
C'mon name me one
She makes problems
Like making new friends

She had to suffer some
Be like everyone
Had to suffer some
She gets in free down at the scream

All night running through her living room
All her sucked up her friends and daughter too
You poor mother! You cashed your little one in
For a three bag fill up and a new syringe

She had to suffer some
Be like everyone
Had to suffer some
Was in the pink now she's in the blue

And you know
She's seen better days
Did you hear
How far she's gone
Far away
Far away
She's gone far away

May be the last song you'll be sung
Ain't no sweet left in that emotion
She's got problems
And more problems to come
'cause it's worse than murder
That's what you done
Now you go suffer

Yeah she had to suffer some
Be like everyone
Had to suffer some
Was in the pink baby's feeling blue
Yeah she had to suffer some
Be like everyone
Had to suffer some
She gets in free
Always was a freak


10. HYPERSONIC

I got a ticket to ride for two
I'm going up to the wild blue
I keep the surface ultra cooled
And all my fuel can be renewed

While we wait around with delay
The sudden news is just fast-talking
Your skin is oily, your story's old
So tell it while your walking

We're flying
Hypersonic
Flying
With my hyper tonic

Yeah, I all uproot you terrorist
I am the guide to the perplexed
Man take this tip, I'm gonna win
I'll put it all on hydrogen

'cause our lives have gotten tied
To people we should untangle
It's all at a fatal cost
To keep us over barrels

We are flying
Hypersonic
Flying
With my hyper tonic

We got time we're doing fine
With mach 8 acceleration
The sky is clear don't interfere with
With aspirations of this nation

Ah, shoot new cities into space
Drag you at the new space races
Fast as a line can flow
And look around
We leave no traces

We are flying
Hypersonic
Flying
With my hyper tonic
Flying
Hypersonic
We're flying
With my hyper tonic


11. TO MATCH THE SUN

Sit with me now
Will watch the dusk
Sun falling on
The two of us
Let's set our hearts
To match the sun
Were right on time
Here it comes
The countdown is starting now
It's coming to a sweet end
I aim my messy headstrong
I'm coming fast and furious
Curiosity don't
Kill us before we've
Thrown
Our
Arms
Out

Let's set our hearts to match the sun
When it goes down
For keeping sake, a sign for all time
So we both know

In the wind I wander
I don't know where I'll end up
Do what I can to get home
Right there baby
There in between twilight
Finish the day into
Night
When
We'll meet up
Again

Let's set our hearts to match the sun
When it goes down
For keeping sake, a sign for all time
So we both know

I'll give my name to dress you up
Use it to express us
Mean us at the same time
A name you can claim me as your prince, my princess
Stretch out our royal line
It grows longer

Knowing the sun will set on time
And knowing you know your heart beats close to mine
From where you are
You'll see our mark
Signing our name
All across the colored sky

Just in time to match the sun
Just in time to match the sun
