Letra
A scrap of flesh And a heap of bones One deep high And a desperate moan Three black eyes And a busted nose I said oh yeah, oh yeah Take me up Baby I'm ready to go Shake me up Baby I'm ready to go, yeah Take me up Baby I'm ready Baby, baby I'm ready to go (Chill me, freeze me, It's in my blood) I'm not going to burn in hell I cased the joint And I know it well Maybe my carcass Would feed the worms But I'm working For the other firm Take me up Baby I'm ready to go Fix me up Baby I'm ready to roll, yeah Set me up Baby, baby, baby I'm ready to go (Chill me, freeze me, It's in my blood) Flip the switch I got my money, my ticket All that shit I even got myself A little shaving kit What would it take To bury me I can't wait I can't wait to see I got toothbrush, mouthwash All that shit I'm looking down In the filthy pit I had the turkey And the stuffing too I even saved A little bit for you Lethal injection is a luxury I want to give it To the whole jury I'm just dying For one more squeeze Oh yeah Oh yeah Pick me up Baby I'm ready to go Take me up Baby I'm ready to blow Take me up Baby if you're ready to go Baby I got nowhere to go Baby I'm ready to go (Chill me, freeze me, to my bones) Flip the switch - Anybody Seen My Baby'4:31

Letra
Won't you give me the low down Just as quick as you can Baby, I've been out of touch Just give me the scam Don't give me the sports page, baby No political news Don't you give me the gossip Just give me the truth Just between me and you Give me the low down If you can Don't want a show down I just want to know where I stand Don't read me the horoscope babe That ain't what I need Our future will never last But that's between you and me I don't want the movie section I'll see for myself I don't want the news that fits Shove it back on the shelf Give me the truth Just between me and you Give me the low down If you can I don't want a show down I just want to know where I stand The headlines are screaming They change everyday As long as I ain't in them I'm happy that way I know that you won't lie to me But you hold back the truth Please give me the low down I can only get it from you Give me the truth Just between me and you Give me the low down If you can Don't want a show down I just want to know where I stand Give me the low down As quick as you can I don't want to hear about it I want it straight from you Give me the truth - Already Over Me5:24
Letra
As you poured out the drinks for me I felt your hooks sink right into me And I knew you were my destiny And I thought you'd get the best of me On the way down to Mexico As I danced in your rodeo You say poverty is picturesque As you dragged your nails across my chest You're so cold You're so cruel I'm your man Not your fool Are you already over me Are you already over me Are you already over me What a fool I've been In the first flush of ecstasy As you lay naked next to me While our love put the dawn to flight I just ignore all those warning lights Cause when you laugh I just cry When you left I just died Are you already over me Are you already over me Are you already sick me What a fool I've been Hard to hold on To a love divine I'm kneeling in a corner Praying to your shrine I've been hurt So confused I've been burned I've been bruised Are you already over me Are you already over me Are you already sick of me Are you already over me Are you already over me Are you already tired of me Are you already over me What a fool I've been What a fool I've been What a fool I've been - Gunface5:02
Letra
Gonna go downtown Gonna get my gun Gonna dress real sharp Gonna beat my drum I ain't gonna lie Gonna walk so slow Gonna talk just right And my diamond ring Gonna shine so bright I ain't gonna lie I've got a debt to repay I ain't gonna cry I put a gun in your face You'll pay with your life And I got my ears And I got my eyes And I got my narks And my alibis I won't waste your time You made one false move You made one mistake When the juice is squeezed That's the way it breaks You'll pay for your crime Your tongue lickin' way out of place I'll rip it out I'll stick a gun in your face You'll pay with your life I taught her everything I taught her how to dream I taught her everything I'm gonna teach her how to scream I taught her all she knows I taught her how to lie I taught her everything I'm gonna teach her how to cry And you cause me hurt And you cause me pain And you turned the tap On my burning rage And I can't put it out Gonna leave no sign Gonna leave no trace Gonna leave this town In a state of grace Give me the power I got a debt to repay I ain't gonna lie I put a gun in your face You'll pay for the crime I taught her everything I taught her how to speak I taught her all she knows I taught her how to eat I half invented her And now she acts so chic I taught her everything But now she's obsolete I taught her everything How to read and write I taught her all she knows She was a neophyte I taught her everything I loved to watch her grow I taught her everything And now I want to see her go I taught her everything I got a debt to repay I ain't gonna cry I'll put a gun in your face You're playing with your life I taught her everything I taught her how to cheat I taught her all she knows She was so indiscreet I taught her everything I taught her how to lie I taught her everything I'm gonna teach her how to cry - You Don't Have To Mean It3:44

Letra
Let's take a walk Just you and me And talk of days gone by Across the fields Under the trees Let's speak of you and I While the whole world Was wandering We walked a steady line When all our friends Were wavering We kept on trying Now we're always suffering Already lost Always suffering Already lost Remember when On summer days I would sing a lovers son How you would smile Shower me with praise And the sun shined on Now the rain is falling slow And the nights grow long And the train Cries out so hauntingly She is gone Now we're always suffering Already lost We're always suffering Already lost Please take these flowers Smell the perfume Let your soul come alive Let there be hope Hope in your heart That our love may revive For life is but a chance On a wind swept hill And the seeds of love Are swirling above Let them be still But we're always suffering We're already lost Always suffering Already lost - Too Tight3:33
- Thief In The Night5:15
- How Can I Stop5:53
Letra
You offer me All your love and sympathy Sweet affection baby It's killing me Cause baby baby Can't you see How could I stop Once I start baby How could I stop once I start How could I stop Yeah yeah How could I stop once I start You look at me But I don't know what you see A reflection baby Of what I want to be I see your face And I want to roll with it But how could I stop Baby how could I stop How could I stop Stop it, stop it If I could, I'd take you all the way Baby, baby listen what I say There's even some things That I just would not pay Cause how could I stop If I start babe How could I stop If I start Start with you How could I stop If I start, baby How could I stop If I start with you It's too easy to lay here at your feet I couldn't take the heat There's somewhere else Maybe you should go Baby maybe baby just a further down the road How could I stop If I start with you baby How could I stop How could I stop Once I start You tell me baby Once I've started with you How could I stop Once I start Stop, stop, stop
