Top of my head Down to my feet Just two eyes to see me through The mana it flows Through my hands The distant skies See what I feel Alive Myriad of thoughts Flowing about my head Just can't stop Til I catch my breath In my heart Hold my desire But dont expect happiness A lie they told you A lie they sold you Roll me another cigarette Just can't stop Though it hurts my throat Another day Another chance to die Rip me up See inside my head Come inside As a matter of course As a matter of fact Destiny's written up a receipt Wasnt fun, no only work Find your way Through those eyes Those eyes They control you Those eyes They control you The monsters under my eyelids as I sleep I took too much so they run my head I tried to climb out but I'm in too deep But I tried so hard to see me through Top of my head down to my feet Just two eyes to see me through

Ive been down so many times know where im coming from like a ship getting tossed inside a maelstrom like a mat at the door worn out my welcome and im tattered and frayed I been on and off the bottle like it was the teat wasting away til im all bones no meat burnt out and melting down into my seat i didn't know how the game was played now im doing revolution want my victory emancipate myself from mental slavery changing right now its an emergency got no time left to be afraid poison into medicine work on my heart again reach out to a friend poison into medicine got no time to waste I was born to win born to win born to born to win born to win Im sorry my friend all apologies sometimes I feel like im my own worst enemy disregarded you after you nurtured me and it makes no sense at all drew party lines and mounted my defense strung out on anger and on ignorance revolted hard against my common sense and so began the fall Now its many in body but one in mind no longer being led by the blind turns out inner peace aint really hard to find but only if you try poison into medicine work on my heart again reach out to a friend poison into medicine got no time to waste I was born to win born to win born to born to win born to win

In Your Skin 05:22
When I can level with your eyes See a dream that shivers me The revolution almost died But we breathed it sympathy I crossed you once in metaphor And made away with what looks grab You smiled, knowing I was dim Welcome me home again Again In your skin In your skin In your skin In your skin And I deluded truth again Just to seem unaffected and cool But I just want to be your friend But I'm afraid you'll act so cruel But smiles help to reassure When seas of doubt toss you ashore Stranded shivering and alone Must you really be alone In your skin In your skin In your skin In your skin The wistful jaded and the bored Darling dreams of nevermore And all your longing is for naught Serrated signs show what you got Connection that you hunger for The quiet womb from where youre torn Nesting dolls that we all are All along conceals a star In your skin In your skin In your skin In your skin In your skin

Femme Fatale 02:49
Here she comes youd better watch your step shes going to break your heart in two its true its not hard to realize just look into her false colored eyes shell pick you up just to bring you down what a clown cause everybody knows the things she does to please shes just a little tease see the way she talk hear the way she talks youre written in her book youre #47 have a look shell make you smile to see you frown little boy shes from the street before you start youre already beat she's going to play you for a fool its true cause everybody knows the things she does to please shes just a little tease see the way she talk hear the way she talks

Your breath is sweet and weak Your eyes are like two jewels in the sky Your back is straight your hair is smooth On the pillow where you lie But I don't sense affection No gratitude or love Your loyalty is not to me But to the stars above One more cup of coffee for the road One more cup of coffee 'fore I go. To the valley below. Your daddy he's an outlaw And a wanderer by trade He'll teach you how to pick and choose And how to throw the blade He oversees his kingdom So no stranger does intrude His voice it trembles as he calls out For another plate of food. One more cup of coffee for the road One more cup of coffee 'fore I go. To the valley below. Your sister sees the future Like your mama and yourself You've never learned to read or write There's no books upon your shelf And your pleasure knows no limits Your voice is like a meadowlark But your heart is like an ocean Mysterious and dark. One more cup of coffee for the road One more cup of coffee 'fore I go. To the valley below.
