Murder 03:12
You think that it's finally over with me Think you can run away, come again some other day Left me for somebody else, now I cry all by myself You think that living without me, you're free Well I got my HSC, my Springfield next to me Gonna put you in the ground, turn my style upside down Murder, a trigger double action My only satisfaction, the cure for a broken heart Cold blooded murder, to find a resolution A violent execution, until death do us part You think it's finally over with me I followed you around, chased your face all over town Now I'm coming through that door, you ain't coming out no more Murder, a trigger double action My only satisfaction, the cure for a broken heart Cold blooded murder, to find a resolution A violent execution, until death do us part

Heard you shufflin’ around my door Crooked as a walkin stick Bet you got a lot of things You need to rid yourself of quick I know my reputation precedes me No merchandise too hot But you won't get what you want 'Til you find a way to sweeten the pot Who took you in When fortune wouldn't give you a spin And who put the ice In your whiskey and the roll in your dice So dontcha yank my chain I'll throw you out again I'll throw you out again All my life I never took the bait That's dangled on a hook by a man But I gave a few the knock out drops Drinkin' wine from an old tin can I got cronies on the outside, the inside Of every place in town Look out baby if you step to me You'll be steppin in a hole in the ground Who took you in When fortune wouldn't give you a spin And who put the ice In your whiskey and the roll in your dice So dontcha yank my chain I'll throw you out again I'll throw you out again Got a bed upstairs to lay your head But first sit down and rest your feet Tell me how a handsome boy like you Got turned into the low life beat You get to prowlin' all the race horse men and gamblers The moneyed macquereau Think you're funny tryin' to case the joint And you'll be laughin' by yourself in the snow Who took you in When fortune wouldn't give you a spin And who put the ice In your whiskey and the roll in your dice So dontcha yank my chain I'll throw you out again I'll throw you out again

Work for no one, enjoy your life Could have been a woman, you became a wife Forgotten places, home furniture shops Unchosen future, when the music stops People look at you, what do you do People look at you, what do you do You don't get in the car You don't come unprepared All the pictures destroyed Nothing left to explain Everything's useless, what can you say Everything's useless, what can you say Everything's useless, what can you say What can you say You work for no one Seventeen years have passed too soon Gonna end it all today, this afternoon You work for no one, twelve hour shifts Untrained and trapped here, your life's adrift People look at you, what do you do People look at you, what do you do You don't get in the car You don't come unprepared All the pictures destroyed Nothing left to explain Everything's useless, what can you say Everything's useless, what can you say Everything's useless, what can you say What can you say You work for no one

Well you know how people talk they say you been around The block But I bet you think your moves prove that you’re a wiser man See you got your fancy threads, Got your custom handmade shirts to You've been running all that game ...and now you think you know what hurts---you know what hurts You tug at my heart strings one at a time We've been at loose ends since you’ve been mine Got me runnin’ ragged, empty, and torn Gonna take my heart boy or leave me alone Can I level with you boy, I feel that I deserve better You always seemed like a mess, looking for some big time exposure Should have listened when they said, You are not the one for me Now I sit with all these fears that maybe you're making a fool of me. ---a fool of me You tug at my heart strings one at a time We've been at loose ends since you’ve been mine Got me runnin’ ragged, empty, and torn Gonna take my heart boy or leave me alone There are times you act so cold Like a cold winds blowing through my head But your friends all say that I Spun you tighter than a spider’s web You're a different guy inside Than the one I used to meet Now you'd never catch my eye If you passed me on the street You tug at my heart strings one at a time We've been at loose ends since you’ve been mine Got me runnin’ ragged, empty, and torn Gonna take my heart boy or leave me alone

Get It Down 04:33
You’re talkin to me, I can see your lips move But the music’s too loud and the drinks are too smooth Could it possibly be that the things that you say And the man that you are wouldn’t be a cliche Let your hands slide down my back, kick my shoes off to the side Now break, stop to feel your body close to mine Don’t think, not required - see how my body’s wired Next time this comes around you will get it down I heard that your friend said I’m not good for you But I see in his eyes that he wants me too I don’t like his vibe even after a few Got a one track mind and it’s aiming for you Let your hands slide down my back, kick my shoes off to the side Now break, stop to feel your body close to mine Don’t think, not required - see how my body’s wired Next time this comes around you will get it down Did I cross a line when I touched your cheek then? My fingers ran over your lips and your chin To late to take it back, the emotion that came When I touched your face and whispered your name Let your hands slide down my back, kick my shoes off to the side Now break, stop to feel your body close to mine Don’t think, not required - see how my body’s wired Next time this comes around you will get it down

Got a mind to get me some Of those machines with the bubble gum Fix the lint traps, make ‘em shine Fake snow when it’s Christmas time Even a beat up laundromat Can turn piles of cash just like that Listen even a fool can see That it ain’t rocket science just to fill a need Well you know I’m gonna feed that dream To build a palace for the girl in jeans Anything that her heart desires Name the price kick the tires Clash and a dash of forbidden Nye County won’t know what hit ‘em This old town’s gonna glitter and gleam At the second coming of the tinsel queen You won’t see me complain About what went down in LA Cuz you know it ain’t a crime In the pen to bide your time Doin’ laundry in the sticks is the same pay dirt as turnin tricks Listen even a fool can see That it ain’t rocket science just to fill a need Well you know I’m gonna feed that dream To build a palace for the girl in jeans Anything that her heart desires Name the price kick the tires Clash and a dash of forbidden Nye County won’t know what hit ‘em This old town’s gonna glitter and gleam At the second coming of the tinsel queen
