Fight 'Em Off 04:03
lyrics
buy track
Some people live their whole lives with eyes closed Need a hand to point them where to go If there’s no hand they’ll just follow the breeze Then they go on livin’ lives of ease And you know they’ll fall for it everytime And by it I mean anything, anything for a dime I said Ain’t gonna fight ‘em off no more Ain’t gonna fight ‘em off no more If I’m sure of one thing I’m for sure Ain’t gonna fight ‘em off no more Then you know there’s people just like me Everybody needs some company Principles they fall away so quick And I am only human I admit And you know I’ll fall for them once in a while With their sugar-coated lies, pretty girls with fake smiles, I said Ain’t gonna fight ‘em off no more Ain’t gonna fight ‘em off no more If I’m sure of one thing I’m for sure Ain’t gonna fight ‘em off no more This little thing called self control is all in my mind ‘Cause when it comes down to the line, I fall for them every time I said Ain’t gonna fight ‘em off no more Ain’t gonna fight ‘em off no more If I’m sure of one thing I’m for sure Ain’t gonna fight ‘em off no more

Desolation Fascination 02:56
lyrics
buy track
A reputation that is national Desert heat makes them irrational At least that’s what I hear The way it looks from here Must be something that I haven’t seen Something in all of the in-betweens Desolation Fascination, just use your imagination Going on a long vacation far away from vegetation Not a place for the social mind Just open spaces and a lot of time Desolation Fascination, just use your imagination Finding new ways of creation borne out of desperation Almost there Almost clear Not nowhere Oh so near Almost there Almost clear Not nowhere Oh so near

What will you do now with the whole changin’ around you What will you do now everybody’s leavin’ without you What are you gonna do Why don’t you tell the truth It gets too real now that ya feel your life is in danger The people getting in your face seem stranger and stranger You stopped thinkin’ at about 35 Since then you been more dead than alive It’s not enough just to survive I don’t wanna know I don’t wanna hear your babies cryin’ I don’t wanna go It’s just that everything around here’s dyin’ Someday we’ll pay for all that we’ve been buyin’ I don’t wanna go I don’t wanna know Everyday look away from the crooks who took it all away, they Hope you don’t discover how they turned you all against the other Time to buckle up and go for a slide Keep your dignity, give up your pride This could be a long ride I don’t wanna know I don’t wanna hear your babies cryin’ I don’t wanna go It’s just that everything around here’s dyin’ Someday we’ll pay for all that we’ve been buyin’ I don’t wanna go I know that you know It’s coming sometime, It’s coming sometime soon You won’t have time enough to blink It’s coming sometime It’s coming sooner than you think I don’t wanna know I don’t wanna hear your babies cryin’ No it’s not personal It’s just that everything around here’s dyin’ We lost but it’s not for lack of tryin’ And if I told you that then I’d be lyin’ I don’t wanna go I don’t wanna go I don’t wanna know

Can't Lie 04:02
lyrics

I didn’t mean to complicate your life I didn’t want to treat ya like a wife I never knew a man could be in so much pain And I don’t know who or what to blame I didn’t want to take up all your time I never knew that caring was such a crime Still I don’t know which or the other’s worse Well do I say goodbye or try to put my life in reverse Then you call me up and you tell me you miss me But you still keep me waiting Still you could say that I’m pleasantly surprised ‘Cause when you say you still want me and then you kiss me Then you know I don’t mind the waiting Ya can’t lie when you tell me, baby, with your eyes All this time that we spend apart Is doing numbers on my already fragile heart Oh I wish I could see inside your brain ‘Cause then I would know if I’ll ever see you again Because you call me up and you tell me you miss me But you still keep me waiting Still you could say that I’m pleasantly surprised ‘Cause when you say you still want me and then you kiss me Then you know I don’t mind the waiting Ya can’t lie when you tell me, baby, with your eyes How could you lie when you tell, baby, with your eyes How could you lie when you tell, baby, with your eyes, Oh no, oh the girl, well she lied to me with her eyes

Everybody’s got their something That makes their world go ‘round That makes them say it’s ok When the world starts to slap them around Everybody’s got their one thing The thing they’re living for You paint a picture, it makes ya richer Even when you’re feelin’ poor, yea! It could be your favorite song That’s music to your tears You may discover it’s a lover Make ya feel like you got nothing to fear If you would only be my something I’d sure know what to do I tell ya one thing, if you need loving I got a little something for you Yeah I got a little something for you, yea! Aw! Don’t wanna wait forever Don’t wanna search forever more Don’t wanna waste forever I wanna be forever yours So won’t you open your door Excuse me, sir, have you seen my something? It slipped right out of my hands Sometimes some things like everything They don’t always go the way you plan See I had her right in my hands Yeah I had her, had her right in my hands Everybody’s got their something Everybody’s got their one thing Everybody’s got their something Everybody’s got their one thing but me

Why do ya do all the things that you do I just don’t know about you Well obviously you’re just as full of contradictions, Evasions, and fictions as me I can’t wrap my head around your disease, whoa! I try to get up, I can’t stand to leave You remind me of a memory I just don’t wanna see You’re a living picture of all the things that we had You know it wasn’t that bad, c’mon It took me some time to see that it’s true, whoa! What you do to me doesn’t do much for you Too bad, oh well Too bad, oh well It’s "too bad" for me, it’s "oh well" for you Yes I’m at a lost, you know what to do It’s "too bad" for me, it’s "oh well" for you Yes I’m at a lost and you know what to do Well I guess it took time to realize that it’s true What you do to me, it doesn’t do much for you What you do to me, it doesn’t do much for you Well I guess it took time to realize that it’s true What you do to me doesn’t do much for you That’s all that I got, I guess that I’m through

If You Want Me To 03:39
lyrics

I, I don’t know what you’re doing But I, I really like it You, you got a funny feeling You got the whole world in your hands Now please tell me all of your demands And if you want me to, I will do them for you And if you want me to, I will do it for you Floating on a pillow There’s a ceiling above my head but all I see is stars What planet are you from? ‘Cause they say that this stuff happens when Venus meets Mars And if you want me to, I’ll believe that too And if you want me to, I will do it for you First time wasn’t quite so ready Second time we were nice and steady Baby please don’t leave me here too long Third time is a charm they say and I’m still waiting for that day when Nothing stops us on our way along I long for you Another one lookin’ for a two, a 2, 3, 4! And if you want me to, I will do it for you And if you want me to, I will do it for you, let’s go

Can't Understand 04:45
lyrics
buy track
Girls crawlin’ for dollars Men whistle and holler for the show So desperate to touch You give away so much, can’t say no Is love really up for sale? Is it just a fairy tale Told all across the land? Or is it just a cruel, cruel joke played on people like me? It’s something I can’t understand Can’t understand Can’t understand Did ever you feel like life just ain’t real anymore? Did ever you feel like you just can’t deal like before? When freedom don’t mean nothin’ Just an empty bottle in your hand When satisfaction’s so hard to find as well as peace of mind It’s something I can’t understand Can't understand Can't understand I guess I’ll go bury my head Somewhere down deep in the sand I just can’t see myself being happy in a world A world that I can’t understand Can't understand Can't understand

You’re my deluxe package You’re my all-in-one You’re my deep conversation You’re my fun in the sun I’d even write a silly song about you And when I’m feeling lonely And when I’m feeling small Then I feel there’s only one Reasonable call I’d even write a silly song about you Yeah! I’d even write a silly song about you I said, who gives you all the feelings I gotta gotta say Yeah when my chips are down I know that you’ll be around Showing me the light of day That’s right, just giving me the time of day, oh yeah! You’re my happy hour At the end of the week You’re why I need a shower You’re why I need a drink I’d even write a silly song about you And even when I’m wrong I’m right about you I’d even write a silly song about you

Control 04:39
lyrics

Boy says I love you forever Girl says uh huh yeah whatever One word, she could have his heart One word, she could rip it apart But she don’t say nothing at all Boy claims that he ain’t in denial He says he can wait for a while She can go on out and have her fun He’ll still be waiting when she is done I just hope he don’t wait too long There was a time when you were in your right mind That was the last time you had control Call her a queen she calls you a friend What do you hope to find down this dead end? The more you try, the more you drive her away You lay it on real thick and you don’t ever let up You gonna make me sick, why don’t you ever give up Oh? Because you’re so romantic There was a time when you were in your right mind That was the last time you had control Control, control Control, control Control, control, c’mon, whatcha gonna do about it
