Jack Rabbit 03:45
Your living in the twilight stuck between neon and the break of day Some ripped up jeans and a pack of crumpled cigarettes to hold you at bay Your looking a little bit older when you hustle that line heartbreak in your eyes Cannot quit this life its the price of rock-n-roll the jailers got you tagged Another shooting star a swerving speeding car moonlight in the bar lipstick, safety pins sunglasses, party bashes and your greasy smile You better run jack rabbit the hour is ticking down your shadow is drawing near The rent is due on your luck your not going to wash out clean Your simple intuition, but no clear ambition has got your back against the wall Another shooting star a swerving speeding car moonlight in the bar lipstick, safety pins sunglasses, party bashes and your greasy smile. You better run jack rabbit the hour is ticking down your shadow is drawing near

when your shadow lingers on way past your longest hour the rain falls hard on your heavy crown the velvet sky explodes with stars like fireflies the pulsing angels straight out to the milky way when you can bare your soul and lift the veil of strife. wash away the sand that hides your turning stone you walk through mist and maze that is so familiar light the candelabra in a house that has long been sealed we shuffle through this life in a silent slumber the ghostly fat lady smiles and makes your spine shiver when you can bare your soul and lift the veil of strife. wash away the sand that hides your turning stone

In the cover of the night I glimpse the magic of those eyes burning bright like a snow globe he’s dashing out of alleyways.. an old wood fence clipped by silver hooves a shadow on your garage. chasing mephistopheles Is it a dream that you touched raven up on the weather vane leaves form circles in the wind frost on the glass-panes crackling of electricity smell of spices in the air. chasing mephistopheles Seen a gold ring left behind on the coffee shop counter Between the shelves in a bookstore His ginger smile cast a spell another cold lost trail looking down those rail lines.. chasing mephistopheles

Lined up for all the world to see Their standing in the driving rain metallic, glowing and engaged Their the new shine, its the new shine convert the culture junkies, to status saved U.S.A lockdown don't want to see your frown. another broken hero dropped like a splash of oil on a red hot flame another broken hero leaving us all little thinner, thinner in the middle A shallow promise we receive Heed the call up, duty to your chosen flag. They put their satellite X down behind the hills at night Media terrorists got your palms sweating now. another broken hero dropped like a splash of oil on a red hot flame another broken hero leaving us all little thinner, thinner in the middle another broken hero dropped like a splash of oil on a red hot flame another broken hero leaving us all little thinner, thinner in the middle.

The snow is falling gently down black jester of disaster is circling round don't catch him looking at you In this world of doubt you have to keep your head held high no fallen stooge number pushed in the ground When all seems at loss my friend another storm on its way don't look away don't turn away Just remember that life gives what it takes away its a cradle to grave for us all If I could give this breath of life to you my friend you know i would yes i would So I remember you there just the same In this dusted dream It’s rock-n-roll we never fallen out of grace So bring on this heartache drag out that pain It’s a beggars banquet never stumbled very far So I raise my glass to another lighted stage come share that path come pass that book When you can give no more and you feel you can’t go on just close your eyes and your already half way there If I could give this breath of life to you my friend you know I would yes I would So lets climb this merry-go-round one more time let the songbird sing let the bells ring

Heaven Shot 04:31
A little boy looks out from his upstairs window sparkles of the sunshine across his face an angel by the gate a bird in hand an old shoe box underneath his bed is there something there tells his mother he seen the face of God Truer words never more to be spoken on that fated day that boy was heaven shot A child’s curiosity plays through a hot summer day the sun goes down and the laughter fills the air reflection on the window pane storybook sweet melody is there something there tells his mother he seen the face of God Truer words never more to be spoken on that fated day that boy was heaven shot

Two Hearts 03:15
I don't know how we ever met in this bomb shelter we call our lives. and the whispers and the promises of a new life together we would share. were two hearts aligned in the moonlight on a winters eve many years ago I was a little lost and a little bit tossed on this boat of life but you reached out to me So I will never forget and give my heart and see your smile a simple faith to me So hand in hand and day by day and year by year we walk our path your my glittering star an angel in disguise I am windup toy you've set me free so were two hearts in rhythm with life that grow fonder now forever more

God's Comedy 03:49
Here I stand in God's comedy watch all my friends fall around me performing once again in this theater of obscurity waiting patiently for that curtain call dangled on some old strings like a tragic puppet a cruel gesture by some higher being what is the meaning or is it glaring us in the face don't snuff out my candle till I burn down this place living in this heated bell jar can we find another year washing up this toxic waste that seeps into mother earth you cannot stop this freight train its your destiny you better rattle that skeleton of ignorance boy before its way to late

with your steely eyes your a blackened silhouette against the skies hard-wired to the city landscape lick the blade there is no escape hey! magneto magneto's dream like a shadowy figure in a far off dream you shatter the cold, cold moonlight like a shadowy whisper in a restless slumber you shatter the cold, cold moonlight with your chiseled grin gaze at the masses with their beaten brow with the wave of your hand molten metal in this heated haze dark secrets in a chained lab an unhinged mind in a watery grave

Here they are transfixed Watching your heartbeat glowing She’s a ruby queen with Green gems of starry eyes Icy silent whispers bring them closer Like a blue mist in a black sand Racing through your heart ahh ahahhhhh 4x And there watching you Witches of NTC And there watching you Witches of NTC Wearing sun-glasses she stands With a whipping smile Golden glowing hair with Fingers like wisps of fire Dragons skulls and haunted souls She’s a black clothes in a Black forest in your mind ahh ahahhhhh 4x And there watching you Witches of NTC And there watching you Witches of NTC They cast their spell You say farewell Burn, Burn Tiger in a Burning cell Is it a dream As you spiral up through The stairs Swept by the wind no original sin You spin and spin On fire! And there watching you Witches of NTC And there watching you Witches of NTC

She thought of fireworks and Stop lights changing Dropping him two coins thinking Voice as fine as honey Simple life in dust town Valerie-Be Valerie-Oh Your star-crossed lovers On a road on fire It will never be what it seems Your star-crossed lovers On a road on fire Look-em dead in the eye And their gone. A life of crime and passion Where will it lead In a ink black night you catch him staring it down. A twitch of the hand and the smoke has Slipped through the night Falling down on his face Saints of Sorrow all around Got to getaway and Mermer-Be Murmur-Oh Your star-crossed lovers On a road on fire It will never be what it seems Your star-crossed lovers On a road on fire Look-em dead in the eye and their gone Your star-crossed lovers On a road on fire It will never be what it seems Your star-crossed lovers On a road on fire Look-em dead in the eye and their gone
