I hear you're sleazin' all around with someone new. The word is gettin' back to me and I know it's true. I see now who you are and what you do You may think I'm a fool but I'm onto you. I'm onto you I'm onto you I'm onto you I'm onto you I see her dancin' all around behind your eyes. It's it the way you move you can't hide that stride. You think you're playin' me but I know the game. You should have stopped to think about who you're playin'. I'm onto you I'm onto you I'm onto you I'm onto you Now it's time for the lies Now it's time for it all I don't really care I don't want you at all Now it's time for the lies Now it's time for it all I don't really care I don't love you no more I hear you're doin' all the things you wouldn't do with me It makes me sick to think about how fake you'll be But just like the one before and the one before that Once you get their love you go to black I'm onto you I'm onto you I'm onto you I'm onto you

lyrics

Walk into the bar, she had a glass up to her lips. She had a cigarette in hand, and she was shaking her hips. Come here pretty mama, do you want some candy? I've got what you need, and I'm feeling quite handy. Just a little sip, trickle past my lips. Feeling oh so fun, sliding down my tongue. Tasting oh so sweet, pushing past my teeth. Whisper in my ear, things I want to hear. The bar is closing up, but I want to get down. So I grab her by the hand, we're gonna paint the town. Throwing back the booze, and my memory gets hazy. She's got this look in her eyes, but my judgement is quite lazy. Just a little sip, trickle past my lips. Feeling oh so fun, sliding down my tongue. Tasting oh so sweet, pushing past my teeth. Whisper in my ear, things I want to hear. The devil made me do it, always sitting on my shoulder. The devil made me do it, always whispering in my ear. Silly little boy, thinks he's putting one over on me. By the time he see's my devil, it's too late flee. When he wakes up in a daze, and his hands and feet are bound. They'll never find his body, six feet under the ground.

She's tossing, she's turning No sleeping, no dreaming This bed is much too cold For any living thing. Her head's overflowing Sunk down where she's laying Her lips they are moving You listen, she's saying Oh I'd give it all to see you smile Just name the price and I will pay I'd give it all to see you dance But you're a thousand miles away I met you one evening Of dancing and drinking I fell so hard I did not know what I was thinking I saw you in my future Together Forever I did not know that your heart would change just like the weather Oh I'd give it all to see you smile Just name the price and I will pay I'd give it all to see you dance But you're a thousand miles away She's tossing, she's turning No sleeping, no dreaming This bed is much too cold For any living thing. Oh I'd give it all to see you smile Just name the price and I will pay I'd give it all to see you dance But you're a thousand miles away

Smoke and Mirrors 03:16
lyrics
buy track
I got your letter today It comes but once a year The ghost of ex-mess past Like poison to my ears Every time its the same Looks like you’ll never change It took me many years but I’m through with your smoke and mirrors. Why do I feel this way? You wouldn’t understand not much room for pain I’m big man fantasy land One good thing about you You taught me what not to do It took me many years but I’m through with your smoke and mirrors. And now the damage done I’m through being the quiet one. Here’s something i need to make clear just something you need to hear. Shut up, don’t talk to me I’m not your friend and I’ll never be.

White Lies 03:41
lyrics

What am I supposed to do? Play it cool, not tell you? I’ve been lying to myself and everyone else These dirty white lies eating me alive The truth is I’m powerless The truth is one breath from this The truth is a kiss on the lips The truth is I want you I want you What the hell is wrong with me? How are we in this game of three? I’ve been lying to myself and everyone else These dirty white lies eating me alive The truth is I’m powerless The truth is one breath from this The truth is a kiss on the lips The truth is I want you I want you

Gasoline Queen 03:47
lyrics

Pull up the hose, high heeled feet, dab on the lip gloss, transformation complete. So may I seeketh, so may I find, someone to douse these flames of mine. Don't hurt me again or you'll feel what I know, peel back the layers exposing the bone. Ashes to ashes, make it all clean. Pay for your sins with gasoline. Burn it down. Here I lie red, black, and blue, the last straw is gonna start the fumes. I don't care if they put me away, gonna settle the score, gonna make them pay. Made me feel dirty, made me feel cheap, now you'll take thee eternal sleep. Ashes to ashes, make it all clean. Pay for your sins with gasoline. Burn it down. Keeping quiet, don't make no sound. Light a match and watch it all come down.

Tension 04:32
lyrics
buy track
Your ebb and flow, your stop and go. Don't think you realize, how much you terrorize. Your yes and no, you think it's all a joke. Don't think you realize, just how much time is passing by us. Wouldn't you like to try, to settle this tonight. An exercise in lust, ease some of the tension between us. You talk, I swoon. I sit, while you bask in adoration with no reciprocation. You're going to lose, because this ruse is costing you the best thing you had the pleasure of rejecting. Wouldn't you like to try, to settle this tonight. An exercise in lust, ease some of the tension between us.

Two in the Bush 03:17
lyrics
buy track
Take me far away from here. No, it doesn't matter where. I'm afraid if I stay, I will never get away. Take me away from these streets. Wake me from this sleep. I remember driving in your beat up red conversion van. And you were chasing after youth, and I was chasing after you. If this was another life, I'd tell you just to drive all night. And we would drive on past the day, and melt into the milky way. Upon this gun, I swear I'm done, with this godforsaken town. There is no time to waste, I'm ready to hate another place. Take me away from these streets. Wake me from this sleep. I remember driving in your beat up red conversion van. And you were chasing after youth, and I was chasing after you. If this was another life, I'd tell you just to drive all night. And we would drive on past the day, and melt into the milky way.
