Got a pocket full of power Got a handle on control Take a better man than you babe To rectify the damage to my soul Cos you took me down so easy Got the devil in your veins I may remember what was good But I won't forget the pain No I won't forget the pain Take the High Road Easy When your steel begins to rush Take the High Road Easy And your bones will turn to dust Well this morning it was sunshine But my head was in the clouds Cause the minute that I hit the streets Saw your face in every crowd With the humble scraps you feed me Got addicted to the game And even though the face will fade I won't forget the name No I won't forget the name Take the High Road Easy When your face begins to crack Take the High Road Easy Cause you won't be comin' back Time will tell if your destined to fall Gotta throw that shit away You don't want more, no you just want it all Well it might be better baby You know the devil's got to get paid
Breathin' why am I asleep? Everything around me is so unreal Speaking double truths and half lies Drownin' in an ocean full of habits that won't break No conversation feel strange vibration Don't want any more Check my head at the door Guilty world has gone insane Waiting for a bomb to clear the air Filthy little mind is working Digging threw the garbage heap of panic and despair No conversation feel strange vibration Don't want any more Ain't gonna find no deviation No inspiration Is everyone a whore Check my head at the door
Some dogs got big eyes and some got dirty hair And some dogs are the type your momma said don't care Dirty is my style and I like my oil crude You're the ugliest thing I've ever seen and I think I love ya Far be it from you to tell me what to do Who I choose to rock my world 'aint up for review Nothin' left is sacred so I changed my point of view You're the ugliest thing I've ever seen and I think I love ya Monkey see and monkey say Who tell monkey the way Monkey will if monkey may Monkey see and monkey say Who tell monkey the way Monkey will if monkey may I don't mind if you don't keep you're nose too clean I just wanna know if you're hidin' somethin' I 'aint never seen Nothin' left is sacred and I changed my point of view You're the ugliest thing I've ever seen and I think I love ya
I guess it's over now Things are back to normal somehow I've learned to shut it out No room for doubt I'm not feelin' down My whole world is just upside down I'm not feelin' at all Sometimes I want to run Mind is chaos body's numb I have to close my mouth In case the truth comes out Don't speak, Don't feel Don't breathe and don't be deciding Just swallow the knifes Infect life with lies that you hide That's how you survive Smoke my last cigarette I don't want to kill myself yet I throw my voice away What's it gonna say - It says...
I been slidin' round the snake oil of my baby's second skin Feelin' kind of nasty do I wanna to let him in my river Nothin' lasts forever but he sure give it a try Fly me to the moon and he don't even ask me why when it's over He's a symphony Seein' ain't believin', whisperin' and screamin' Everytime he take me to the top Boy I want your honey - I don't want your money Boy I want your honey all over me Pour me some more honey Don't you think it's funny All I want is honey And what is wrong with that? Baby play the guitar like he wanna break his neck And when he play with me he leave me a physical wreck I can't fight it - I'm delighted baby Been tryin' to get some sleep Cause my baby's coming home Feeling kinda hungry Mr. give a dog a bone Cos he's mean - He's a mystery I'm an Alleycat
Original sin - I know what you like And sinners ain't got nothin' on you Personify their dreams & pacify the schemers Welcome into the race You got the mind for miracles You got a smile to charm the dead And you can always score with your 57' ford But you can't get that wish out of your head Start me up - Cos you know what I like I like the way you makin' me laugh I like the magice tricjs and all the thing you fix Even when they ain't been broke I like all your freakin' havoc I like your dog that ain't been fed I like your messed up face and your 67' case But I can't get this wish out of my head I don't know if it's the way you talk That's drivin' me outta my mind You gotta certain style - The way you walk that mile Y'know I'm down with that But have you ever even noticed Or heard a single word I said When your only friend left you with nothin' in the end Cos we all want these wishes in our head I don't want to draw the line I ain't got that kind of time
I can feel it breakin' Feel the whole world shakin' I can feel it breakin' Well I heard that your were found half dead on un-forgiving ground And though reports weren't all that clear They found you somewhere north of here And now there's nothin' I can do More helpless than a child of 2 I wish so bad I could've saved you That all this love could somehow change you So how do I just let you go As if I'm strong - As if I know And what am I supposed to do As if you cared - As if you knew I can hear the thunder Feel you goin' under - I can feel it breakin' Feel the whole world shakin' Have you lost enough of what you got To make you lose your mind Are you holdin' on to one last drop To make you last Or maybe make you stop?
Didn't really want to say What I said to you today Cause I feel I'm givin' in But if life's a game we play Then I made a move today And I know I'm givin' in Words that can sound so empty Something that you say so easy Make it midnight everyday In this world I'm livin' in I pretend it's turning fine In this world I'm livin' in Is it cruel or is it kind And I've seen you wash your hands While you do the best you can Cause you don't want to give in And I've seen you turn away Afraid that love's a price you pay And you don't want to give in Why do we run so fast Trying to forget the past We forget to live today In this world we're livin' in We pretend it's turning fine In this world we're livin' in Is it cruel or is it kind In this world I'm livin' in I pretend it's turning fine In this world I'm livin' in Is it cruel or is it kind All songs copyrighted 1994 MCA Records
