Crack A Smile And More Lyrics
Best Thing You Ever Had
Yeah, Blues
I won't ask where you're going
If you don't ask where I've been
'Cause if you're looking for an answer, baby
I wouldn't know where to begin.
I don't know what I want sometimes
But I sure know what I likes
You've got that thing about you
Gets me hot inside
It wasn’t making no sense
When I wrote this song
Cause half way through it
You were turning me on
CHORUS 1:
Lay me down
I just might be your kind
I'll show you a better way
We can do away the time
If you stop looking so hard
I think you just might find
I ain't finding it so bad
Might be the best thing you ever had
You know a little bout love
Well, I know a lot about hate
I believe you gotta make things happen
You believe in fate
But this won't be the first time that we didn't see eye to eye
You may not be religious
But I'll make you see God
If you give me a try
I know love can get me through it
You give me that look we'll get down to it
CHORUS 2:
Don't shoot me down
I'm not a social disease
You've got that thing about you
Bring a grown man to his knees
I'll teach you baby
Bout them birds and them bees
When you get around
To think about it ain't so bad
Might be the best thing you ever had
Best thing I ever had
Give me some of that
Well, I'll put out the dog
get them old ghosts out of bed.....
I ain't looking for a little to say
Baby some place to lay my head, dig
I'm the one to right your wrong
Just give me a chance and I'll turn you on
CHORUS 1
CHORUS 2
Shit piled
up to your knees
Her old man thinks you're a social disease
Dog pissed on the floor left a stain
Your old lady's naggin' driving you insane
She stopped taking the pill
Then left you, sued you for a mil
You've got your problems, boy
So damn great
Can't find a good wife
Can't find a good job
Can't find the keys to my car
I lost my dog
I lost my brain
I lost my girl to a big movie star (whatever)
Now I'm standing at the crossroads trying to find my way home
But the truth is baby I'm so lonely, lonely, lonely
Sometimes I just
CHORUS:
Jones like a junkie
Get me some funky
When push comes to shove
You talk too much
And way too rough
How bout we both shut up and lets make love
I'm home hanging
The wall's banging
It's the neighbors next door
They're talking trashy
Or doing the nasty
They keep me up until four
So they keep on going more and more
I hear and say "Lord, I'm half crazy"
I gotta get me some of that in and out, and in and out,
and in and out!
CHORUS
When the clothes start flying there's no denying
Gonna get some funky
Good, good funky
Your blood starts pumping
Babe we're on to something here
Oh right here, right here baby
All you did was give a little little bit of mine
It sounds so simple
I'll bring the ripple
What's your state of mind?
How bout we drink, get drunk
Fall down into a big flesh pile
CHORUS
I said I plan, yes indeed
You be the flower, I'll be the seed
When push comes to shove
I said skip your lip and all the politics
And then shut up and lets make love
It would sound like this:
Yeah-Stop
Alright
I can't say I
ain't been around or I ain't done my time
Seems like this big old world's been one big shoe to shine
But I never ever took a dime for what come naturally
If I never knew the truth, well she'd be fine with me
One night she stayed over here and left her little black book behind
Well that little black book ain't little no more, it wasn't too hard too find
She'd leave me in this lonely room
The thought just made me sick
It’s funny how the pieces fit
My baby gets around a bit
Yeah, my baby gets around a bit
Her pager would ring, and its a funny thing - she'd have to go right away
She always has a wad of cash, much more than her job could pay
I'd ask her where she's going to and this is what she'd say
"I’ve gotta meet someone for an interview who's only in town today."
Always a little bit overdressed, much more than thought he'd be
Her high heel shoes and day glow dress kinda did seem strange to me
She'd leave me in this lonely room
While some stud got his fix
Just then the thought occurred to me
My baby gets around a bit
Baby gets around a bit
Baby gets around...
Took
her to the local bar, where I likes to hang
Every guy that passed her by they all seemed to know her name
They all called her by a different name then one of them winked at me
Some guy named Stan said "You're the man, I hear you get it for free!"
She'd leave me in this lonely room
And the thought hit me like a brick
It's funny how the pieces fit
My baby gets around a bit (repeat)
Don’t
touch me. now
I’m gonna tell’em who we are
Well, we're big rock singers, we got golden fingers
And we're loved everywhere we go (that sounds like us)
We sing about beauty and we sing about truth
At ten million dollars a show (yeah right)
We take all kinds of pills that give us all kind of thrills
But the thrill we've never known
Is the thrill that it gets you when you get your picture on
The cover of the Rolling Stone
CHORUS:
(Rolling Stone) Gonna see my picture on the cover
(Stone) Gonna buy five copies for my mother
(Stone) Gonna see my smiling face on
The cover of the Rolling Stone
That sounds like a very very good idea
I got a freaky old lady named Cocaine Katie
Who embroiders all my jeans
I got my poor old gray haired daddy... driving my limousine
Now It’s all designed to blow our mind
But our minds won’t really be blown
Like the blow that it gets you when you gettin' your picture on
The cover of the Rolling Stone
CHORUS
Hey I know how- Rock and Roll
We got a lot of little teenage, blue eyes groupies
Who do anything we say
We got a genuine Indian Guru
He's teaching us a better way
We got all the friends that money can buy
So we never have to be alone
And we keep getting richer but we can't get our picture
on the cover of the Rolling Stone
CHORUS
I don't know why we ain't on the cover, baby!
Ah we're beautiful fellas!
I ain't kiddin' you man, we'd make a beautiful cover
I mean, I can see it right now--we be up front,
Oh, we be smilin'....Beautiful!
So you want
to talk about the pain
Talk to me, please explain
Maybe I know what you're going through
You got so
much pain to hide
You keep it locked up deep inside
In a room no one gets to
I can't feel
the way you feel
Maybe I, I've got those same scars, same scars to heal
I wish - you've got to understand
I want to be the only man to ever touch you baby
To ever...
Chorus:
I'll be there should the sun go down
Lift you up to a higher ground
Let me in, let me be the one
I'll be there should you fall from grace
Wipe those tear drops from your face
I see no more damage done
Baby, baby,
Just let me be the one
I want to be
the one to shelter you
Should the rains come down
Never let you drown
I'll pull you through
I want to
hear you when you scream
Be your prince when you dream
Hold you close when you cry
I said...
I want to feel your love, your hate
Should you be lost, I'll bear your cross of pain
Love seal your fate
I'll comfort you in fits of rage
I'll be the book should you turn the page, and
I still love you baby
I still...
Chorus
I gotta touch
you
I'll see no more damage done
You gotta let me...
I hear the
hurt I hear the scars
You can lay your head right down upon my heart
Then you'll learn to understand
I want to be the only man to
Ever touch you baby, ever touch you baby ever
Chorus
I'll be calm
in fits of rage
Hold you close in times of pain
I see no more damage done
Baby, baby, you got to let me be the one
I heard a
funny thing about me
Lately I've been living on the edge
I won't say that ain't true,
But who the hell are you
I don't recognize my own face or my friends.
CHORUS:
Hey, Mr. Smiley
Read the writing, on the wall
Wake up, Mr. Smiley
Before you don't wake up at all
Today, I hired me a yes man
He simply agrees with anything I say
He does all my dirty deals
And feeds me my pills
As long as I'm still breathing he gets paid
CHORUS
Yesterday I had a conversation
With all them voices in my head
One said I was no good
One said I should quit
One said I'll be fine just as soon as I get myself a fix
CHORUS
Put on Mr. Smiley
And I'm feeling ten feet tall
Bye bye, Mr. Smiley
You got to go now, they just called, they just called
Laughter
Jam Blues Man
There you lay all by yourself
So please allow me to introduce myself
I welcome you to the house of sin
Open you mind let the games begin
I'm your lust and I'm your greed
I'm every sick thought that you ever done dreamed
Eaten your cake, now you want some more
Mmmm, where have I heard that before
CHORUS:
I am your - I am your
I'm just your sexual thing
I am your - I am your
I'm just your sexual
Ain't nothing but a sexual
It's just a sexual thing
Lying there you look so horny
Talk is cheap and it's starting to bore me
Talk is cheap and it's starting to bore me
You hold me close and you tell me it feels so good
But damn girl, you know it would
CHORUS
Glad to have met you, so pleased that you've come
But I must moving on, my work here is done
Best believe me, you, child, the pleasure's been all mine
If you’re in need please do indeed call me anytime
CHORUS
They got you medicated
It’s got you so frustrated
He caught you masturbating
You'd rather be fornicating
Well then you come to me
I'm gonna set you free
It's just a sexual,
Ain't nothing but a sexual
It's just a sexual thing
I spent my
life waiting for that famous final scene
I believe you know the one
Where she falls in love with me
As for you,
You've been faking your smile
Filling your time on small talk and cheap wine
Knowing in your heart
There was someplace you'd rather be
So right or wrong I wrote you this song
To tell you how I feel
Don't put up no fight you just turn on the lights
Walk over here to me
CHORUS:
Lay your body down on me
Down on me, tonight, oh yeah
Let your tears fall down on me
Down on me tonight, oh yeah
As for me,
I've lied to, deny to, fight with, and try to
Apologize for all my ways
To all the women
Yeah they're fool enough to fall in love with me
You played your role, like a movie
Forgot your lines for who is, who was, who would be
Somehow you lost track while real love slipped away
So for tonight, just turn off the lights and let those real feelings show
There's no wrong or right, but until you try
You're never gonna know
CHORUS
Before you was mine
I was so lonely
Ain't it a shame,
The heart must feel pain
Before you can get back on your feet again
So lets draw the blinds, forget wasted time
Let them old demons die
Take a hold of my hand and you'd understand
Why love's worth one more try
CHORUS
Let your love rain down on me, down on me
Lately boy,
your head ain't right and nothing seems to thrill you
Word on the street is no sex no more cause... it'll kill you
You touch, she fights, you push, she shoves
Then she yells in your ear "no glove, no love"
Oh, it ruined the mood but you know she's right
When the big head stops
And the little head talks
You better learn how to walk the walk
CHORUS:
As far as I can see it's really no big mystery
Same old story
No ring, no gets
It ain't the boat you float it's the motion in the ocean and I quote
Before you start pumping that fuel out your jets
No ring, no gets
This feeling coming over you it's a very frustrating emotion
You keep thinking you're smooth and start making your move
But your lady starts causing a commotion
You'd like to round the bases
You know that's for sure cause Miss Palm and her five sisters
Just don't cut it no more
You know tonight you’d like to fly her kite
But the wind ain't blowing you got that right
CHORUS
Women hold the lock, a man's known that for years
Your going up inside to persuade that key could bring a man to tears
Your gun is loaded
You got her right in sight
About to pull your trigger when the girl pulls out the lights
Better keep your cool don't make a scene
Cause her ? ? gonna ? your cream
CHORUS
CHORUS
Well it's boy
meets girl and it starts a fire
Two hearts burn with pure desire
A candle burns a midnight oil
Lust to love and raise the spoil
CHORUS:
When the girl goes down
That's the way I like it
When the wheel goes round
Neither one can fight it
Can't fight the lust
Can't find the truth
Ain't nothing you can do
When the girl goes down
Hollywood and Vine and a hundredth floor
All the ? ? couldn't take it no more
Now standing on the ledge and faces the truth
She ate em up spit 'em out, his time was through
CHORUS
Misery loves company
Nothing you can do
When the girl goes down
I woke up this morning found the paper and read
The Hollywood police found a young man dead
No name, no face and no ID just no different from you and me
? rides in to her strange world
And the story goes of boy meets girl
CHORUS
CHORUS
Can't fight the lust
Can't find the truth
Ain't nothing you can do
When the girl goes down
I'm
uneducated
My clothes are outdated
I don't stand politically correct
I still hate small talk
And fast cars and hard rock
Still like talking 'bout ?
I should be expressing all my inner repression
I guess depression's now a cultural thing
My record company says blow my brains out my head
I'd make the cover of every magazine
CHORUS:
Step inside my nightmare
Welcome to my trip
I cannot pretend and I will not defend
Why this good old boy's so tragically unhip
I still like bad girls
Who rock me hard in my world
It's monkey see and monkey do
When I'm ?
I got an old waterbed I like trippin’ to the dead
Keep a poster of Kiss on my wall
I still curse and smoke and drink and toke and make love in the back of my car
CHORUS
I like that home grown
Mind blowing
You're bringing
Eye rolling
They see strange talking
Mind stopping
Ass swinging
Street walking
Floozies
CHORUS
When I was a
child staring at the tube
At the sex and violence and death on the news
One day I saw the Duke kill someone
Daddy said don't worry boy, they're just acting son
All I want's attention from somebody
Somebody to pay attention to me
Like them actors I got no shame I want my fifteen minutes of fame, please
Doin' it as I seen on my TV
Doin' it as I seen on my TV
Can I get on the news if I kill my wife?
Would you respect me more if I took my life?
I tried to act and my career just flopped
So I beat up my neighbor and I got on 'Cops' - cool!
All I want's a million from somebody
Somebody pay a million bucks to me
I could rope, shoot, rape and kill and buy me a house in Beverly Hills, please
Doin' it as I seen on my TV
Doin' it as I seen on my TV
I'll even do a porno flick like all them Hollywood chicks
I'm doin' it as I see on my TV
Took my girl to rent a porno movie, I thought that it'd be kind of groovy
I thought that'd this impress my lover and there she was right on the cover!
All I want's attention from somebody
Somebody to pay attention to me
I'm a man I got no shame I want my fifteen minutes of fame, please
Doin' it as I seen on my TV
Doin' it as I seen on my TV
Hell I'll even do a porno flick like my hero Rocky did
One More For The Bone (CAS outtake)
Well as she
stepped into the room
Right then she got my eyes
She had an ass like a truck
and two amazing thumping thighs
She's built like no other
Just one big fat mother brick house
So impressed to find those breasts
CHORUS 1:
One more for the bone
She likes whips and chains and things
One more for the bone
She don't need no diamond rings
Couldn't get her through the door so I did her on the floor
One more for the bone
Lets get naked baby, roll under the sheets
I ask one favor baby - don't roll on top of me
She's my Crisco queen a non-stop love machine
On the scene like a sex machine
She ain't fakin' when we're makin' bacon
CHORUS 2:
One more for the bone
Sparks may fly like the fourth of July
One more for the bone
Just don't get any in your eye
Strapped me on a 2 X 4 so I don't fall in when she wants more
One more for the bone
You got me all night baby
That other woman didn’t mean a thing.
Remember it ain’t over, baby
Until the fat lady sings
I got excited she threw her ham hocks over me
One the size of a truck the other the size of a tree
She whispered in my ear
Just more cushion for the pushin’ dear
Can't start a move when she got down to it
CHORUS 1
CHORUS 2
When you was
a child life’s a game
But you got old - the rules all changed
Pray to a spiritual God for material things
Then wait by the phone but it don't ring
So if you feel like you fell behind
That mountain's got too big to climb
Want to hang your head and just say screw it
Forget that shit lets get down to it
Come on, baby
CHORUS:
Mind tripper
Dance sister
It'll set you free
Mind tripper
Dance sister
Keep the faith, forget the fame
Don't let your balls go down the drain
It'll set you free
The news man shoves it down our throats
The ratings soar, the victims choke
Say all them posers best stand clear
For a few of us who got no fear
So you feel like you're sinning baby
You got nothing left, no no
Stop feeling like a number
You best forget that shit that you been told
Baby bring it on
CHORUS
Mind tripper
Dance sister
Bring her right here to me
Mind tripper
Dance sister
There ain't no way to change your past 'til you get your head out of your ass
It'll set you free
That shit comes down for miles and it really starts to stink
Then dump it in the ocean 'til the water is at the brink
And when that boat don't float no more they're just gonna let it sink
Don't ask me no more questions, baby, you know what I think
Well, have you heard about it
All the new talk on the streets
I'm coming on hard, baby
I hope you're ready for a brand new me
So get your head out of the gutter
That's no way to right that wrong
They'll be time enough for sleep baby
When your dead and gone I said
Bye bye, babe
CHORUS
Mind tripper
Dance sister
Bring her right here to me
Mind tripper
Dance sister
There ain't no way to change your past 'til you get your head out of your ass
Mind tripper
Dance sister
Keep the faith, forget the fame
Don't let your balls go down the drain
Let it set you free
A lot of this song is
unintelligible because it is a demo. I copied the lyrics from PoisonOnline
but they are open to interpretation.
Well, funky monkey’s
in the jungle tonight
They got two by two don’t hear me right
Band playing loudly baby
Gone are the days when the days gone
I said gone
When the monkeys are gone
Gone or dead this is what they said
CHORUS
Lost Mary
Cries, cries, cries
Yeah yeah yeah, that is what she did
Lions sleeps, baby
Dies, dies, dies
I just want to funk you
That’s it
When the jungle sleeps
Is when the monkey shine
I said you do baby ? don’t mind
Back then deuces were wild
If the deuces left in than the deuces are wild
Can you dig it?
Oh that’s right
Yeah baby
When the monkey doesn’t shine
I said baby
CHORUS
Give me some of that
Well dime store cowboy shoot your gun
Knock them mother fuckers down, one by one
Money on up it’s in your face
Gimme no lip or get your face back here
When the monkey don’t sleep
And the monkey don’t shine
Well, the monkey don’t run on time
CHORUS
CHORUS
Face The Hangman (Open Up and Say... Ahh! outtake)
Friday night
at midnight looking for what I need
I heard ???
So like a rat race cowboy I slipped into the human zoo
Headed down for trouble got myself a drink or two
Well I took to the streets and I took to the falls
Marched right in but I didn’t get involved
Manager said hey boy there’s the door
But I didn’t leave until I evened the score
CHORUS:
I gotta face the hangman gotta pay for what I done
I gotta face the hangman or by the noose I swing
In the morning sun
Like a gin-soaked gypsy looking like I’d been had
But like the story says this wild-eyed boy is bad
I got a police squad car taxi to the local slam
They said, "Son you’re gonna pay for what you’ve done"
I don’t give a damn
Just cause I like to drink and dance all night
Just cause I like cat brawling, an old fist fight
Give me no lip boy or I’ll kick you in the mouth
Watch you head fly open and your teeth fly out
CHORUS
Now the judge looked at me and said, "That boy, he's definitely
guilty"
Ooooh let him swing
CHORUS
CHORUS
