Spin the Wheel

another day another mess
another broken down car to fix
another glitch in the matrix

and I can see it very well
another soul going to hell
another president we can buy and sell

another face another bed
another way to make the bread
another man who chose to fight his way instead

I can smell it in the air
all the big boys getting scared
but they can't pay me enough to really care

Chorus:
and when I'm driving over a bridge
I get the most peculiar feeling
I wanna close my eyes and spin the wheel
and meet my fate deep out in the ocean

and now as far as I can see
my big american dream
swept in the undertow of these big companies

another piggy shines his light
so it's safe to walk at night
but I don't think that they'll come running for me

Chorus x2

Chasing the Grey

I've been chasing the grey
like a wandering runaway
and I don't think I'm gonna get much done today

we've been feeding the walking feathers
with the breadcrumbs of our souls
enjying the fine sunny weather
peeking in through the ozone holes

what if I just laugh and walk away
what if everybody just acted like the ain't got nothin to say

one man's sitting tall on the concrete
one man's sitting tall on a throne
and one man's laying in a field of daisies all alone

what if I just laugh and walk away
what if everybody just acted like they ain't got nothin to say
what if I just packed my stuff and moved away
what if we forgot about the past and thought about today

I've been chasing the grey
like a wandering runaway
and I don't think I'm gonna get much done today

Everywhere I Go

you're so right, it doesn't make sense
so put the fact that I ever even asked in the past tense
it wouldn't be right to give my heart away

but something is sinking, and it couldn't be hope
cause hope could just float away
whatever it is, I'll have to let it slide

but I can see your paintings everywhere I go
and I can hear your music playing in the back of my mind
all the time

I already knew
you could never be for me what I could never be for you
but so many times I follow anyway

my heart is sinking cuz my love's a little heavy
for a man I can't explain
you leave all your windows open in the rain

and I can see your smile in every smile I see
and every time I leave I turn my head to see
if you're smiling back at me

but I can see your paintings everywhere I go
and I can hear your music playing in the back of my mind
all the time
you're so right

Lock Stock

lock stock and two smokin' barrels
cover my back if I get into trouble
cuz I know, that nobody's in it for the love of it anymore
you show them your stuff they show you the door

sixteen, and everyone's rolling
high, on not knowing, where your life's going
and they say what comes out must go in
and don't stick your nose in
you show 'em your stuff they tell you you're chosen

cheap shot you thought they were joking
now your nose is broken
you can't get the coke in
tough luck, you've taken up smoking, it's making you choke and
you're stealing the cash from someone you're pokin

Every Bone

where, oh where did my baby go
you think the world then you come to find out
you're fleshing someone you don't even know
someone please take me home
I've got the blues and this ex is messing with every one of my

every bone
every bone
every bone

I never met a man up close, until the other day
when someone tapped me on my shoulder and looked his eyes my way
he said, baby how about that number
my bed gets coler every night and I ain't getting any younger
so I said, maybe for tonight, we'll forget both our names
you can be solitude and I'll be cocaine

cause life is so appeasing when you're living in that zone
and when you are inside me, I feel slightly less alone
every bone

he says, baby I loves to love ya, but now I gots to go
and if that shit ain't kicked in yet, well here's one for the road
I feel it creeping, creeping slow
I feel it creepin into every one of my

every bone

Junkie

he's just a junkie, but he can see me filtering the light
and if I hurry, I just might catch him swallowing the night
and I don't know myself well enough to tell
if he's an angel, or I'm a victim - one can never tell

have I been dreaming, or is this nothing to be concerned about
I'll just say nothing, but on the inside screaming it out loud
and I don't know myself well enough to tell
if he was watching, would I stop what I was doing to myself

I'm not strong enough to open this jar
but I know many folks who tell me they are
ain't no better place than in someone's heart

he's just a junkie, but he ain't scared to look me in the eye
and my heart's hollow so I don't see no reason not to try

and I don't know myself well enough to tell
if he'd still know me if I was living with nothing left to sell
if he's an angel or I'm a victim, one can never tell

Highs and Lows

we came, we saw
we drew a line through the middle of it all
we thought we knew
we thought that this was the best that we could do

and on and on it goes
you give a little and the rest is just a show
on and on it goes
can't find a middle ground between these highs and lows

I've been alone
I've been a dope sicken junkie for the phone
and so it goes
just keep 'em coming 'til the feeling in my toes has

gone, on, it goes
you give a little and the rest is just a show
on and on it goes
can't find a middle ground between these highs and lows
on it goes

give me a lover, give me a friend
give me the ocean crashing in
give me a reason, so I could pretend
this is a beautiful end

to give, to take
to dig a hole out of promises you make it hard
to love
I bleed my heart but it's never quite enough

on and on it goes...

Missing Part

never thought I'd make it this far
never thought I'd go from my head to my heart
and even when I said it was bad
I bet you didn't know you're the best that I've had

cause you fit in my heart like a missing part
no one's ever loved me better
yeah you came unto me like a holy king
I could stay with you forever

never thought I'd find a way out
of every little pinch I've been in until now
and even if you did change your mind about me baby
I could never leave all this good stuff behind

cause you fit in my heart like a missing part
no one's ever loved me better
yeah you came unto me like a holy king
I could stay with you forever

Open Question

the way you look at me like nothing's ever changed between us
it's like a playful game of let's see who could stare the meanest
I don't care where the money came from this time
just don't leave me here with an open question on my mind

the waiting, the gazing, the blind anticipating
it haunts me, it kills me, it tries its best to fill me up

and like a vulture swarming you dive down without a warning
and raise your head from feasting hear my melody so pleasing
i don't care where the money came from this time
just don't leave me there as the sole accomplice to your crime

you hold me, you've got me, you take your best shot at me
you need me, you feed on me, you drain me out and bleed me

I get all caught up in the mess we've made, the roles we've played
and thought I can't forgive you I feel I am forced to live you
I don't care where the money came from this time
just don't leave me here with an open question on my mind

the space surrounds me and like a flower browning
it aches, it breaks, it bows its head and caves in
