Les paroles


1. GO FASTER

What kind of trouble did I get into
Gotcha moving, gotcha moving

Not staying long just passing through
Keep you rolling, keep you rolling

I know the chemicals you like too
Gotcha moving, gotcha moving
And if you ask me nice
I'll take you to school
Keep you rolling, keep you rolling

I took all I need
I don't need no more
Then I'll take what I want
Until I want some more

You can't stop
Or I might pass you
If you slow down
I'll out last you
But when you're down
You won't find me laughing
Just one question I might ask you
It might sound like a disaster
Can you make this thing go faster

I know something baby we can do
Gotcha moving, gotcha moving
A pinch, a bite, a lick or maybe two
Keep you rolling, keep you rolling

Saw what I came to see
Don't want to see no more
I don't think it's diseased
But is sure is sore


2. KICKIN' MY HEART AROUND

Just come out and say it
Spit the words out of your mouth
It needs no explaining
'Cuz we both felt it go south

Just stop kickin' my heart around
For the last time
Stop kickin' my heart around

Well I told you so
Not it's time to go
Got to get this show on the road
Just stop kickin' my heart around

In the beginning
There was no wrong you could do
Now in this ending
I can't stand looking at you


3. BY YOUR SIDE

When your lost
I am found
When you slip
I hold my ground
When I fall
Please take a bow
And when you're up
Just remember I am down

People looking for
Fortune and fame
They don't know
That it's all the same
It's like any other game
You know there's a loser
But it's alright

When you feel your heart is breaking
When all your friends are faking
When its giving and no taking
I will be by your side

I've been over the hill and back
Survived every kind of attack
It's been a few years at that
As a matter of fact

Good luck is just good luck
You don't go hungry if you got pot luck
I've been down
But never on my knees
I see the forest for the trees


4. HORSEHEAD

Horsehead go you bug eyed
Horsehead left the day for night
Horsehead ain't no dragonfly
Horsehead help you live a lie

You can not see the hole in front of you
And I will see you down if you want me to

You are blessed with just one life
All you are is what's inside
If you take, then step aside
Jesus gave until he died

Horsehead feel your soul fall
Horsehead gonna take a die
Horsehead ain't no good at all
Horsehead said you're gonna die


5. ONLY A FOOL

Your words buzz around my head
You make me feel warm again
You are my lover, my song, my best friend
I don't want this to ever end

You hold my heart in your hands
Our home is like a promised land
I just want you, just want you to understand

Only a fool would let you go
Only a fool and I should know
Only a fool would let you go
I need you so baby please don't go

When we're lying in our big old bed
We wake up just to fall asleep again
When I dream of the time we've spent
It makes me so happy I just can't quit

I see the love in your eyes
It will stay there the rest of our lives
And after that, and after that
And over and over and over again


6. HEAVY

Lordy baby could you tell me what's wrong with me
The way I feel nobody would believe
All these things that you do
You know they drive me out of my mind
And as mean as you are
You know you are my kind

They way you put on your clothes
The way you wiggle your toes
The way you scratch your nose
When you watch it grow

For the first time
I know you're mine
And if you want to know
I'll tell you so
What can I say
I just want you to stay
You're so heavy, you're so heavy

Lordy baby you do get under my skin
Who you kidding baby
You know I'll do it again
Lordy baby you left me black and blue
But that's okay because I know that you dig it too

The way you say hello
When you dig a hole
When you wear yellow
When you play your cello

The way your story goes
They way you make me glow
When you let it snow
What I knows I knows


7. WELCOME TO THE GOOD TIMES

Did it make you stop and think
You're on the brink
And not to test you 'cause you
Don't know how far you'd o
Did you make a big mistake
You curse your fate
And you wish you could leave this life
For just one day

Welcome to the goodtimes honey
Did you bring your own parade
Welcome to the big time baby
Time for a serenade

Did you say you lost your pride
You tried to hide
But you're not strong enough
To ever get away

And it only goes to show
What we all know
That the tables will surely turn
For you one day

It should come as no surprise
Just realize, that when it all comes down
Who is really on your side


8. GO TELL THE CONGREGATION

Here I am
There I was
Here I go
Just follow me

If it was
Then it can
And we know
How it will be

When it was
Just because
Yes you know
It's not a dream

It's just all
C'mon y'all
I'll tell you
What I mean

When you want to lose your blues
Go tell the congregation
When there's nothing left that you can do
Go tell the congregation
When you want to tell the truth
Go tell the congregation
When the devil's got a hold of you
Go tell the congregation

Don't look back
Stay on track
It's a fact
A lesson to me

Keep in stride
With your pride
Now you know
How strong you can be

There's no time
Draw a line
Yes I know
That you can know me

Look alive
No surprise
Everybody wants to be free

Everything is everything


9. DIAMOND RING

Come on baby say my name
Well do you want to play a game
It feels so good it's almost pain
And every time is always the same

It could make a man insane
Well baby that's okay, that's okay

You're the reason I want to sing
You make me feel like a king
I love the sunshine that you bring
I think I'll buy you a diamond ring
A diamond ring
Baby baby say I do
And I'll spend my life with you

Baby lay down by my side
Baby don't you look divine
The way you smile should be a crime
You do it to me every time

It's a feeling that no one could deny
Baby tell me why
Tell me why


10. THEN SHE SAID MY NAME

Let me tell you 'bout the book
That I've been reading
It's got all my favorite words
Let me tell you 'bout who I saw scheming
You better know it's not my girl

Let me tell you about what I've been seeing
It's the window to the world
Let me tell you 'bout the secret
I've been keeping
Said the oyster to the pearl

Are you sorry
No not me
And tell me why should I be
Cause I've been knocked right off of my feet
And no I didn't even miss a beat

I never thought a love could be like this
Then she said my name
Now I'm wrapped around her finger
I'll never be the same

So let me tell you about the joke
That you've been living
Said the clown to the fool
Let me tell you 'bout
The wheel that keeps on spinning
Said the teacher to the school

Are you worried
Well could be, cause I'll tell you what I've seen
I've weathered storms that would sink most ships
Yes I know when to button my lip

Offer me a melody
Pour a cup of wine
Spill your deepest memory
And someday you'll be fine


11. VERTUE AND VICE

Think of me
I'll think of you
We better think
This whole thing through
Sometimes I'm so clumsy

You talk to me
I'll talk to you
You cut the fat
And we'll both chew
You know we're both hungry

I feel so alive today
That's all that I wanted to say
I hope that it stays this way
If not I will be okay

Say another prayer
Save another life
Kiss me on my head
And tell me
Everything's alright
'Cause I can say it one
Or I can shout it twice
All there really is
Is virtue and vice
Virtue and vice

Cry to me
I'll cry to you
Sometimes the pain will only do
You know I'm not kidding

You laugh with me
I'll laugh with you
At all the stupid things we do
Tomorrow we'll be happy
