DEVIL'S NIGHT OUT
Remember that night? It seems so clear,
Now he's back and I'm glad he's here,
Three long years, millions of beers,
The devil is back, so girls, dry your tears.

In his favorite club, in his favorite seat,
I saw the devil, wing tip shoes on his feet,
pork pie hat on his head, he was diggin' the beat,
And the band ripped like demons,
when he screamed, TURN ON THE HEAT!

Well the devil was drinkin' and dancin' up a storm,
The band was so hot, my beer got warm,
just when I thought it would all cool down,
that evil motherfucker screamed BURN THIS PLACE DOWN!

Wouldn't know the Devil if he punched them in the face,
couldn't drink a six-pack, never mind a case,
Don't know how to skateboard, that's just a fucking crock,
Most of all, they got no balls,
and don't know how to rock.

HOWWHYWUZ, HOWWHYAM
I used to talk to cab drivers,
now I just don't bother.
I'd empty out my pockets,
if someone asked me for a quarter.
There was a time I'd give the time,
to the old, the weak, and the weird.
I just don't know why this is so,
but I've never been so scared.
Am I getting older?
Are things getting harder?
I used to never cry,
when I would think about my father.
The years went by so goddamn fast,
you know, I've left a lot behind.
My devil may care attitude,
you know, I just can't seem to find.
Once upon a time,
I never minded very much,
I never let it knock me down,
or grind me out of touch.
Once I had an outlook,
different than it is,
full of dreams and schemes,
it seems they just do not exist.
Once I told myself,
he will not be missed.
I never thought I'd see the day,
I'd ever feel like this.

DRUNKS AND CHILDREN
Don't mind when it happens,
no problem when I am sayin' it.
But when I lose my mind,
kick my behind.
'Cause I hate when my mind keeps replayin' it.
I'm not braggin', and I'm not proud,
I hang around a drunken crowd.
We are happy, that I can say,
and until we're not, I kid you not.
We're gonna stay that way,
drinkin' the other day.
I said I love you, you turned away.
Maybe the drinkin',
made me cry,
but I'm a happy, very happy, very happy guy.
Drunks and children, they tell you the truth,
That's what I am, I'm drunken youth,
and I'll be drinkin' till I die,
but I'm a happy, very happy, very happy guy.
Sometimes when I'm playin',
I never watch what I'm sayin',
sometimes I lose my head.
I lose my head and things get said,
I never should have said,
sometimes I get housed,
I get housed I get soused,
and shoot off my mouth,
and sometimes I can't get out,
and I don't know what I'm talkin' about,
you know I've made mistakes,
I've had my ups and downs,
my ins and outs,
my share of bad breaks,
but when it's all,
been said and done,
I raise my beer and I swear,
God it's been fun.

HOPE I NEVER LOSE MY WALLET
Never lose my wallet,
it would put me in a spot.
Never lose my sense,
at least how much I've got.
Never lose my family,
never lose my friends,
never lose my youth,
I hope it never ends.
Hope I never lose my wallet,
and Hell I hope to Hell,
and only time will tell.
I hope I never lose my mind,
or lose myself somewhere,
not too far from here,
that nobody can find.
Never lose my hair,
I would hate to go without.
Never lose direction,
and wander all about.
Never lose my courage,
never lose my hope,
never lose my girl,
it would make it hard to cope.
Hope I never lose my wallet,
and last of all,
not least of all,
I hope I never lose my mind,
or lose myself somewhere,
not too far from here,
that nobody can find.

HAJI
He was just about the baddest cat in Baghdad,
I mean to tell you that this cat was so bad.
He was as big as a tiger, mean as a snake,
and when Haji got angry, the walls would shake.
Haji I'm the kind of the Genies,
Haji and shit Haji I'm the King of the Genies,
Haji moved to Florida, Jeanie's town,
to start his own business and get down,
his powers concealed nobody knew,
he wheeled and dealed and did what Haji had to do,
he kicks full throttle from his bottle ladies wall to wall,
The Bosstones partied with my man and man it was a ball,
he kept things fired kept us wired betties, Bud and booze,
bourbon in his turban and Sheba from his shoes,
he busted out in a cloud of smoke he just left like he came,
he's King of the Genies and all that shit,
but what a stupid name my story is over Haji lives on,
and he'll be around long after we're gone,
'cause Genies don't die, and Haji will rule,
Haji is bad, and Haji is cool.

THE BARTENDER’S SONG
Thank you sir, can I've another?
We've really grown to like each other
I like this beer, and your friendly face
I've really grown to like this place
NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! This can't be the case!
What's this all about? After a couple,
they usually throw me out.
Maybe it's an illusion and not a bar,
I'm gonna keep going I'm going good so far.
What's that drink he has there?
No, I'll just have another beer.
It's good to have a friend like you,
I'm glad to see you like me, too.
NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! NO! This can't be true!
I've never been seen here before after a couple,
they kick my ass out the door maybe it's an illusion,
and not a bar I'm gonna keep going,
I'm going good so far.

PATRICIA
I see my girl's been forced to hide,
a brand new emptiness inside.
I wish that I could fill the space,
it's not my place to take the place.
She's been hurt and she's been lost before,
this loss has her alone once more.
Even though my girl's alone,
she stays together strong as stone.
She stops my rain, she calms my storm,
miracles she can perform.
I've seen tough times, she's seen me through,
and always knew just what to do.
So many rely on her, I'm one of them and I know it,
when demons haunt inside of her she fights hard not to show it.
I've seen my girl forced to take,
pain, tragedy, and much heartache.
The tears she hides, the smile she fakes,
and through it all, she doesn't break.
I don't know where she finds the strength,
I'm only glad she can,
just when I think my girl is down,
she's on her feet again.
She stops my rain, she calms my storm,
miracles she can perform.
I've seen tough times, she's seen me through,
and always knew just what to do.
So many rely on her, I'm one of them and I know it,
when demons haunt inside of her,
she fights hard not to show it.
I've seen her world before my eyes,
get filled with evil, painful, spiteful lies,
still she fights, still she tries,
and will fight until she dies.

THE CAVE
In a place where comfort shouldn't be,
I found comfort and tranquility.
I found friends that mean so much to me,
in a place I never thought I'd be.
The cave's never,
coming down on me.
The cave really,
means so much to me.
The cave only gives.
I'm glad the cave,
is where I live.
OK, so sometimes things get out of hand,
and piece of mind is in great demand.
I climb up to the top...
look around and it all seems to stop.

DO SOMETHIN’ CRAZY
Do something crazy for me again,
call me up, I need a friend.
Lose your mind, just one more time,
I wanna see you again.
Hey! Hey! ... Please look at me,
I haven't been crazy since we were we.
And I wanna be, I wanna be, can't you see?
I wanna be crazy like I used to be,
so do something crazy for me again,
and we'll start our crazy love again.
Do something crazy, go out of your head,
say the crazy things that you once said.
Do something crazy, give me a break,
go out of your mind, girl, for heaven's sake.
Do something crazy 'cause I know you can,
I wanna see you again.
I know, I know, I know what you can do.
I've seen you in action, and I know it's true.
I was crazy at one time too,
but the craziest thing I ever did was losing you.
Pick up the phone! I'm so goddamn alone,
please name the place and date,
use the dial, it's been a while.
I really just can't wait,
do something crazy...

A LITTLE BIT UGLY
When it starts to kick in,
I start to kick it out.
When it comes calling,
more and more each day,
and a little bit ugly now.
Is what it's got to say,
little bit ugly now,
little bit ugly now,
little bit ugly now,
Who? What? Where? How?
Little bit ugly now,
little bit ugly now,
little bit ugly now,
right now! right now!
Little bit ugly now,
little bit ugly 'cause the time is right,
little bit ugly now,
little bit ugly now tonight.
When it comes knockin',
outside my door,
well I let it in,
'cause it's been there before,
let's let it in!
It comes knockin', more and more each day
and a little bit ugly is what it's got to say.
When it comes around here, it's really nothing new,
get a little bit ugly, it what it's telling me to do,
when I'm a little bit ugly,
it's my kind of feeling,
I'm drunk and I'm blind.
