Taking 'Em Down

|

Tracing the lines in the dollar signs to define the space between the children who starve in the streets and the silver plates on the doors of the banks.
And it makes no difference. Yeah yeah yeah.
Taking 'em down now pass 'em around.
Yeah, taking 'em down now, taking 'em down.
Flying on angel dust. Climbing the cocaine Everest.
And I can be your hero baby. That's if you'll be my heroine.
You and I, traveling space and time.
The inconvenient truth was an unimpressive lie.
And it makes no difference. Yeah yeah yeah.
Taking 'em down now pass 'em around.
Yeah, taking 'em down now, taking 'em down.

Coming Down
02:42
|
|
||
|
Take the last one coming down. Before the fire burns you out.
We've all got sin. It's just the world we live in.
And the wait's too long. And the pavement keeps dragging me home.
A passing phase in the lifeblood soaking on the daily bread.
Time is only temporary.
It's sensational living under dagger and a practical joke.
Like a sunspot, keep choking the eye of the words we've spoken.
Fingers to the bone, three fingers of whiskey a band-aid on broken souls.
And I drown, yeah I drown, the angel on my shoulder whose screaming for me to help/hell.
Time is only temporary.

Your Eyes
01:55
|
|
||
|
It's not fair when you look in my eyes I'm defenseless.
Hypnotized and I can see it's gonna be the end of me (enemy).
I'll run all day and I'll run all night long.
If we meet there we'll finally get to be alone.
When I look in your eyes.
Sweet dreams, eighteen, blonde hair, blue jeans.
Nothing means anything, to anyone.
And I still taste your name, on the tip of my tongue.
Making friends with the Devil, make a wish.
Baby, I'm burning for the witch.

On the Eve
02:25
|
|

|
On the Eve of Adam
I'd strangle Satan to Death.
If it meant I could hear your voice again
for one more second.
I don't deserve to be pardoned,
pardon me a part of me,
still wants to learn my lessons.
Oh no my baby's got a gun.
Nice to watch the world on fire.

Make a Difference
01:29
|
|
||
|
The pen is mightier than the sword.
But to hold the pen is to go to war.
There you are with your laws.
Here I am with my gun.
And if you want to make a difference, well okay.
But I'm not.
We pretend it never ever ever happened.
And I wont.
When we respond it's from the mouth of a cannon.
And I wont.

She Said
01:43
|
|
||
|
She said, we'll make it alright, we'll make it next time.
We'll make it alright and it'll be fine.
It's not our fault.
When you get that look in your eye and I can't understand and I don't know why.
When you get that look in your eye and I realize the problem is mine.

Indulging the Demons
02:21
|
|
||
|
If we tread water a little more.
Maybe fate will find the time to bring us to shore.
If we don't, we'll have to build our home.
On the bottom of the ocean. Rock bottom of the ocean.
I think we've been indulging the demons too long.
Get down on your knees.
And pray for Jesus.
The angels sing, yeah the angels sing.
God's not dead he's just stopped listening.

You're so Beautiful
02:48
|
|
||
|
We've come too far on an empty tank.
There's no going back and no other way.
There's so many people just dying to live
and if we can't forget well then we have to forgive.
And I just want you to know,
You're so beautiful.
We need to ask ourselves.
Are we building a home
or are playing at house.
In the end every one is a zero again.
Life is a waste of time
but we only rent.

Stand by your side
01:53
|
|
||
|
Winning the hearts and winning the minds,
from the mouths of babes.
A gold plated hand grenade.
I'll be yours and you'll be my
cold shoulder to cry on.
I'll stand by your side when you walk the line.
Don't believe it's the truth
Just because they asked you to.
Bite you tongue and kiss the lips.
And the stars shine blind tonight

London Bridge
01:55
|
|
||
|
Ring around the Rosie.
London bridge is falling down
You an I are closer, closer now.
I see England, I see France
I see every single thing, yeah.
I see England, I see France
Because I sleep with one eye open.
Ring around the Rosie.
London bridge is falling down
You an I are closer, in the ground.
I see England, I see France
I see every single thing, yeah.
I see England, I see France
Because I sleep with one eye open.
Calling me back now calling me home
Now calling me back now calling me on.
