Pretty Hot 02:33
“Pretty Hot” It's poetry, when she talks, and she dances, when she walks. Her hair falls, in ringlets, but her mood, can run scarlet. She moves to a song only she can hear. She says, “stay away and then begs you near.” A crying jag and she's torn her dress. Her mascara's run but she's Pretty, Pretty Hot A pretty hot mess A pretty hot mess She's torn her dress A pretty hot mess A broken heel, could be worse. The club called, with your purse. Who let you out, like that? Smeared lipstick, pussy cat. Chorus
2.
Duplicity 04:08
Duplicity You're my favorite conversationalist. With off hand, streams of consciousness. A true, sonic, impressionist. Whispering, ars gratia artis Chorus: My evil twin, well where ya been? Ya know I missed you my friend. You know it's alright, now that it's moonlight, to let those feelings rush in. My evil twin, with bad decisions, oh why'd I let you in? We're off the rails now, goin' down now, Oh no not this mess again. We, won't toil away in obscurity. This, won't end in futility. Self doubt, embarrassment, humility. Arrogance, confidence, duplicity. Chorus

Too Far Gone 02:43
Too far Gone Her band's a sonic blower She dances and swirls She's a natural composer An irresistible girl The floor falls away She's louder than jets. With her, there's no gray She's got no regrets She's out on a higher plane. She's too far gone! We can't look away She's a slow motion crash A fracture on the X-ray Uphill, jagged and brash She can't dance any faster Ooooh, My head! It's the sound of her laughter Honey's dead! She's out on a higher plane She's too far gone!

Bad Actor 03:06
Shopping, in the produce aisle When I see you and your risque smile I'm rumpled, but you're so put together That my name, I can't remember. Patiently, well her hair she twirls and I'm in love with American curls. Stumbling as I try to speak Your number, is so out of reach and I want you, I'd crawl through glass just to see your and I want you, I'm coming up the stairs just to kiss you Faster, I'm in love with her laughter, Faster, I'm such a bad actor Faster, this is such disaster Faster, let's go out tonight The library, well who goes here anymore? God damn, is that you by the door? I'm a paperback, and you're a kindle, Let's do it here, between the book ailses. and I want you, I'd crawl through glass just to see your and I want you, I'm coming up the stairs just to kiss you Faster, I'm in love with her laughter, Faster, I'm such a bad actor Faster, my therapist says just ask her Faster, to go out tonight

Trainwreck 03:44
Trainwreck She’s gonna leave town, gonna miss her appointment. She’s stopped takin’ her meds and I think she enjoys it. She’s printed out her emergency contacts. She’s a little excited, but don’t you overreact. Chorus: She’s a bad girl, such a bad girl, with a good, a good imagination. In her world, in her world a psychotic break is like a vacation. It’s her sweat, and her sex, and her smell that I find appealing. She’s so direct, and perfect, she don’t wanna hold hands and talk about our feelings. Her dad always said, “she’s a little bit spirited.” What I think he meant was, “proceed at your own risk.” When our band plays, she really gets into it. Can’t bail from this train, gotta see how it all ends. Chorus

Vickie Marie 02:54
Vickie Marie Oh could I be the protagonist in your story? Or is it now that you just deplore me? A touch and a taste, It wasn't just sensory. Do I ever surface in your memories? Oh Vickie Marie....Come see about me Oh Vickie Marie....Do you remember me? Oh Vickie Marie....Come see about me If you won't give us, another chance. Could you please return, my brown pants? And that Zanesville album that you borrowed, 'Cuz I guess for us, there's no tomorrow. Chorus Remember that show at the State, that we went to? 'Cuz I can't, I've forgotten all about you. You don't even know... my favorite color. ...but if you haven't moved on, and found another lover. Chorus
7.
Tornado 03:14
Tornado Do you hesitate, or are you fashionably late? I can't stand by, I can feel your sigh. Are there blue skies? Are you gun shy? Are you proud to fall? Or sick of it all? Pre Chorus: Cuz I'm the one, who's under the gun. Coming out of the gate, with your foot on the brake. Chorus: I don't want to wait. Stop trying to fight our fate. You're such a mess, it's emotional chess. Giving me vertigo, a fickle tornado. A work in progress, and I obsess An unfair test, and you protest. Pre Chorus---------->Chorus You're dancing eyes, will be my demise. A window to your soul, or a black hole. A magnetic pole, no damage control. A barrel roll, to thrill your soul. Pre Chorus ---------> Chorus
8.
You Murder Me Need some quiet time, alone to unwind Take some time off, hide out from the boss Gonna drop out, then I hear you shout Sounds pretty dire, like your hair's on fire Chorus: You... yeah you murder me, and it's true... you won't set me free It's you... you murder me, Yeah, you Time is so elusive, but so therapeutic Is it the human condition, or the price of admission? Wanna cool your jets, take a recess You mention inadvertently, another small emergency Chorus....to Bridge You never hesitate, my favorite help mate Hey nothing's shocking, why you still talking? I've promised my time, and given up controll So sign your name, across my soul. Chorus
9.
Bulletproof Heart Hey Baby, Don't Let's Start and we'll avoid bein' torn apart. What did the doctor write in your chart? Patient suffers from a bulletproof heart. Chorus: Aww man, that's gotta smart Even if, ya gotta bulletproof heart A saucy quip, a flirty remark You've well versed in those arts. Barely dressed, such a rosey tart, I'm immune, I'm much too smart. Chorus: Oooh baby, that'll leave a mark Even if, ya got a bulletproof heart We got a journey, we won't embark Old ideas, about court and spark Oooh my, but how you look the part. You're so naughty, and oh so smart Chorus: Aww man, that's gotta smart Even if, ya got a bulletproof heart Am I, the biggest fool of them all? I didn't see, the writing on the wall. It was you, for whom I'd fall. You've broken down, my bulletproof wall. Chorus 2X

Sling Shot 02:33
This town is too small and my songs are to big I'm not takin' calls I've found a new gig. We've packed up the house and cleaned up the yard We had the garage sale now where's my guitar Chorus: Don'tcha know I'm a sling shot baby ain't comin' back like no boomerang Don'tcha know I'm a sling shot baby I'm hittin' the road; the fat lady....has sang. My history fades in the rear view mirror The windows are open and the future is clearer This time when I leave well I ain't comin' back I'm burnin' the tires and I'm pickin' up slack Chorus: Instrumental Chorus:
