but some should be left be
cuz he going to give you
just want you don't need
he gonna smother your madness
he gonna smother your greed
oh the king of the jungle
is not Shere Khan

people come from miles around
but you're the one who'll pay
cuz he gonna give you
just what you deserve
yeah, he gonna give you,
he'll hold no reserve
oh the king of the jungle
is not a man

There's too much music in the world
Nothing we haven't already heard
And there's lines still being drawn
Some days it's hard to know what side I'm on
There's too much music in the world
Yeah, somethings that I've already heard
But there's not enough time - to listen to all the rhymes
I've got it all
Yeah,
We going
Well we go
Well we go-o
Where it's warm
somedays
There's too much guns in the world
Half of them cocked to defend my girl
There's too much ammo in this world
Gotta bullet for you
Well there's surely 20 for me
We're going home
We're going home
We're going home
Well we had enough of the hard stuff
for a day or two
we going hooooooome
Well we definitely had enough of that hard stuff
for a lifetime (or four)
we going hooooooome
well we definitely had enough hardship
to last us quite awhile
we goin' hooooooooooome
yeah!

Stand Off
04:14
|
|

Let's get close to the time, where you finally found
the footing, the placement, to let it all down
as the clock hand tightens before that 1 & 2
almost time that we both drew
you better get ready
for a stand-off
you better stand tall
just one final moment before you look down
well you pacing it off without a, single sound
as the shutters are closed all along 5th street,
no mistakes, no strays, nothing else to meet
you so wise
ah, you so wise
then they come
you know they come
yeah, well you know
you got that high noon
Oh, it’s a stand off
you pace it off
ah back to back
ah you pace it off
don't ever look back
Don’t do it
(ah, get your hand on IT)
GUITARS
well if you finally ready
if you come to play
you better be so ready
oh if you ready
if you come to play
you better be ready
or else the good boys
they gonna blow you,
they gonna blow you away

We weren't getting it wrong
We weren't getting it right
We're just two lost people, on the wrong path tonight
We weren't getting on,
no we weren't seeing the light,
We half-past dead & we taking it to sunrise, yeah
We gonna take it all d**n back,
We gonna take it all to the place,
We gonna take it all, then take some more,
And then let the night erase
We gonna burn it to the ground,
gonna raise those flames high,
We gonna get down, like a Grand Canyon,
as those ashes reach the sky
and maybe it's awhile
and maybe it's today
and maybe it's daybreak that was just two minutes too late
I don't know
Like a Grand Canyon,
those limits, those off-limits
coming back from Tucson,
that setting sun
That setting sun
And maybe another limit,
and maybe an old cop car,
and maybe the coffee in the morning only goes so far, I'll never know
I’ll never know
We both never knew
We were just two people
On the wrong path
Not getting it wrong yet
Not getting it on either

Some Days
02:03
|
|||
Some days you don’t come home
Better than waking up alone
Better than staring at the telephone
Better than thinking about what went wrong
Some times you don’t come home
Some nights you feel it to the bone
Shiver right down your spine
Doesn’t matter if its yours or mine
Doesn’t matter if it turns out fine (probably will)
Some nights you feel it to the bone (Oh FEEL IT)
Some days the words comes out wrong
When they should of stayed in all along
Shoulda known they’ll make you run
Shoulda known just what they’ve done (and what they tend to do)
Some days the words come out wrong
CHORUS
Some days there’s nothing left to say
Except another simple okay (OKAY)
Let her know the lines not dead
Let her know it’s see if it’s all in her head (that’s where the best ideas come from)
Some days there’s not left to say
CHORUS

She gonna take you where she wants to
She gonna take you in her game
She gonna think about that she should have done
then pass away the blame
She gonna pay you off for nothing
She gonna pay you anything
She gonna take all that she have
give it all to charity
She turn it on
She turn it on
She turn it on ( x 2 )
You might make it to that station
You might make it outta here
You might find that one way ticket
But never step foot in the clear
Cuz there's so much going on
that you cannot control
Cuz it's just a single part
of a pretty f**king big whole
Cuz you got off at the right time
you got off at the right time
you got off
Yeah you got off at the right time
you got off at the right time
you got off
yeah you got off
Just a one way ticket babe!
On the old engine no. 4
they don't stop here anymore
You got off at the right time
off at the right time ( x some )

Hard Rain Hard Rain
Gonna fall down on me
Hard Rain Hard Rain
Gonna fall down on me

You can spill the wine
You can bide your best
You can bide your time
Hard Rain Hard Rain
Gonna Fall Down on Me
Yeah
Bad luck bad luck

Bad luck, Bad luck
is better than bad love
You can bear a cross
She could do the same
You could spill the wine
You could scream her name

Red hands all over it
You’re caught up in it
Just hold onto it

Well nobody gonna there when you’re gone
Nothing but this cot d**n song

Yeah nobody gonna be there
You just sit awhile and stare
Just keep on holding
You can try and take this out of me
But there’s nothing here that you ain’t already seen
You hold onto it
Just hold onto it

Off the Cuff [EXPLICIT]
04:50

Well you just rolled into town, there ain't nothing new
Everything you thought together, it's coming unglued
And you getting by on get well cards
Everything that you knew
Everything that you thought
Every single one that you would not
They coming back girl
And they’re coming for you
Oh, right on cue
Well you just rolled in from out of state,
you thought were early, but you('re) running late
And you holding on / to what might have beens
Well you finally found what you need in the end,
but you forced it where it shouldn't have been,
now it's holding on,
only be a thread,
and it is bare babe!
Well you just got in from out of town,
everything you thought up, it coming down
and you getting by on get well cards
well the ink has faded & the message too
but those things thought false are still untrue
and they got you babe,
in the corner again
and here comes the end babe
You can't GET IT
Well you almost won the lottery,
almost won it all,
you almost said f**k it man, f**k it all
but you didn't.
you're coming up short
those debts you lost, those debts thought repaid,
well they coming back and they want what you gave,
hand it over,
or pay the price they demand
and now you understand
can't get enough
whoooo
for the taking honey

This is for the one who came in the '58
To the northernmost of the 48 mainland states
This is for the land of 10,000 lakes
For all the great times and just one great lake
For the skyscrapers that are headed by one named Foshay
To the twinkies and the vikings, and where the wolves play,
To the Bunyans and the Diablos, may you chop & burn bright,
And let it be known, there's always ‘Mats insight,
So raise your glass,
to the lady slipper way,
Here's to Minnesota, and where the best ones lay

You bought a round trip ticket
But you don't wanna leave left
The place you finally left you call home
but you don't pay the rent
You get excited
When they turn it all on
But you like it a little better
when you get off again
YOU GETTIN' OFF AGAIN
YOU GETTIN' OFF AGAIN
YOU GETTIN' OFF AGAIN
YOU GETTIN' OFF
YOU GETTIN' OFF AGAIN
YOU, YOU, YOU GETTIN' OFF
AGAIN OFF AGAIN OFF AGAIN OFF
