Hole in the Wall (Kris, Inga, & Eric)
Gonna get me some liquor baby ~ It’s just down on 5th street ~ Have you ever been there baby? ~ I know it’s kinda dirty ~ Don’t you kind of like it ~ Smell the people gettin high ~ Have you ever been there, baby? ~ Come on and follow me ~ Yeah ~ Follow me now ~ Time to get my ass on out ~ Time to suck my whiskey down ~ Just a hole in the wall ~ Just a whole in the wall ~ Just a hole in the wall ~ Let the liquor hit you baby ~ Can’t you feel the weight lift? ~ Take a good look around you baby ~ Now you see what I’m saying ~ Don’t you kind of like it? Smell the people gettin high ~ Have you ever been there baby? ~ Come and follow me yeah ~ Follow me now
Spit it Out (Kris, Inga, Kristine, Jeff, & Eric)
Spit it out ~ What you want to say ~ Get off your knees ~ Be a man today ~ Take control before you fade away ~ Spit it out ~ Spit it out ~ Spit it out ~ What you want to say ~ Hold up, baby let me show you how ~ Don’t you know you have to spit it out ~ Come on out ~ Show me what you got ~ It’s a frightful thing when you could get caught ~ It ain’t right to be what your not ~ I hear you talk the way you talk ~ I see you walk the way you walk ~ Baby you’re not foolin’ anyone ~ Don’t lie to me ~ Don’t lie to me ~ Don’t lie to me ~ Spit it out ~ I said spit it out
Ain’t your Mama (Jeff, Eric, Inga, & Kristine)
You’ve been seemin’ so damn lazy ~ You can’t even do your own laundry ~ Speak your mind your mama ain’t listenin’ ~ She don’t even know how you like it ~ Sooner or later your gonna lose your mama ~ Quit your cryin’ ~ No one can even hear you whine ~ No, No ~ No one’s told you yet ~ But bet that someone’s gonna ~ And if you haven’t guessed ~ I ain’t your mama ~ No, No ~ The checks you wrote are comin’ in bouncin ~ Takin’ all the money that’s meant for my counselin’~ She is through with your dirty diapers ~ Honey you can tinkle by yourself now
What’s the Question (Kristine, Kris, & Eric)
I hear you breathin’ ~ I watch you movin’ ~You’re burnin’ pieces of my heart ~Can’t look away from you ~ Feel like I never knew you’d be here, but we’re apart ~ Your every touch I feel ~ Could this be real ~ I start to ask you but I stop ~ And you say…what’s the question ~ You’re not asking ~ I’m seeing in your eyes ~ You’re not talking, but I, I know you’re thinking ~ So what’s the question ~ What’s the question you’re not asking ~ Calls stop comin’ ~ You say it’s nothing, but I’m about to fall apart ~ I need you baby ~ Do you feel the same way? ~ I start to ask you but I stop ~ And you say…~ I hear you breathing ~ I watch you moving ~ But you’re the reason that I stop and you say…
Get it On (Kris, Inga, & Eric)
Side stepping, don’t you ever come close? ~ Keep two paces away ~ Feel free to grab me any way you want ~ I’ve waited too long ~ Can’t you see I need ya, need ya, need ya, need ya ~ You belong ~ Keepin me at bay ~ What you gonna be ~ Lay your hands on me ~ Give it up ~ Get it out ~ I’ll say a prayer ~ You put on out ~ Get on in ~ Gotta sin ~ I’m on my knees to pray again ~ Get it on ~ Gotta get it on ~ It’s time to get it on~ Don’t hesitate ~ You got me where you want me ~ Make no apology ~ Have you eaten baby? ~ Time to get some supper ~ Take your precious time ~ Can’t you see I have to, have to, have you ~ You belong ~ What ya waitin’ baby, why you want to take so effin’ long?
Creep (Kris, Inga, Kristine, & Jeff)
Feeding off my every move ~ Diggin on my every groove ~ Switch on the light ~ Your face ain’t right ~ Just stay away from me ~ Watching all the things you do ~ It’s about time you knew ~ Switch on the light ~ Your pace ain’t right ~ Just stay away from me~ Screaming in my sleep ~ I look around and all I see is you, you, you ~ Sweat stains my sheets ~ You ripped me from my dreams ~ You dirty creep ~ Thought that we were only friends ~ Now your face is in my mirror again ~ Switch on the light ~ This can’t be right ~ Stay away from me ~ Obsession makes you lose it all ~ Your mind just takes a heavy fall ~ Switch on the light ~ You brain dead guy ~ Just stay away from me
Nothin’ but Trouble (Inga, Kris, Eric)
Hey, I got an idea, I wanna hug you ~ I wanna love you ~ Hey, I got an idea, I wanna hit you ~ I wanna hate you ~ Love ain’t got me nothin’ ~ Love ain’t got me nothin’~ Love ain’t got me nothin’ ~ Got me nothin’ but trouble ~ Hey, I got an idea, I wanna hold you, I wanna grab you ~ Hey, I got an idea, I wanna push you, I wanna kill you
Too Late (Kris, Inga, Eric, & Kristine)
Time's been busy with everyone but me ~ Seems like life's passin' me by ~ And even though I know I got to get somewhere quick ~ Something's holding me from behind ~ Looking back to those days long ago ~ Wonderin' what happened in my life ~ It's too late ~ Never thought I'd live past twenty three ~ Why did I do it to myself? ~ Wakin' up with no one next to me ~ Except an empty bottle on the shelf ~ Now it's time I tell myself to do somethin' ~ But I can't stop thinkin' to myself ~ In my mind ~ It's too late ~ It's too late ~ Hadn't found it yet ~ No time to wait ~ There's so much ~ No second time ~ Hold on ~ Lord, I tried ~ Could've used an Angel by my side ~ There's nothin' left to say but ~ It's too late ~ I can't come back again ~ Time's pace has worn me thin ~ I've lost the life that I wished for ~ And I'm still standin' here ~ Hope that I get somewhere ~ Before I die
Lies (Kris & Inga)
Seen you at the show ~ You're making eyes at me ~ Send a drink right over ~ First impressions are easy ~ You told me everything ~ You told me what I want to hear ~ Save your evils for another time ~ Don't make them all appear ~ And now I know sometimes that things are not what they seem ~ And I'm about to find out what it all means, Lies ~ Tellin' lies ~ Sweet lies ~ Don't want to hear no more ~ Now that we've been through ~ All the times you always knew ~ The things that you were tellin' me were nothing but untrue ~ I gave you one more chance ~ Time and time again ~ There's nothing left that I can do ~ But hope you understand
Playin' the Fool (Kris & Inga)
What you want is what you get ~ Step on another man's shoes ~ And you're gonna bet ~ You're gonna lose everything you got ~ And believe me honey ~ It ain't a lot ~ Listen to what I have to say ~ Cause sweetheart ~ Oh you're really gonna pay ~ You're making a fool ~ Making a fool ~ Making a fool out of yourself ~ Playin' a fool ~ Playin' a fool ~ Playin' the fool ~ Don't sleep around with everyone you see ~ You're messin' with their hearts ~ Just let them be ~ You can't keep your hands to yourself ~ Mischievin' around someone will tell ~ You're out all night ~ On the town ~ You're playing with your cards ~ Deal another round ~ You better fold before you've had too much ~ Raise your stakes too high and they'll call your bluff
Lullaby (Kris & Kristine)
Lullabies from so long ago ~ I almost forgot ~ Come again from a wrecked train of thought ~ Catch me off guard ~ Oh, I might cry tonight without someone to rock me goodnight ~ I guess now and then I just need to feel safe ~ To see my home again ~ Pocket warmth for rainy days ~ I hear you say...~ Baby, don't you cry ~ Don't you let a tear fall from your eye ~ I hear your lullaby ~ You used to play on that old guitar ~ While I'd dance kisses cross your face ~ I miss your arms ~ I might cry tonight without someone to rock me goodnight ~ I guess now and then I just need to feel safe ~ Recapture something I missed ~ Something in your face when you'd say...

No More
I've been wonderin' why you never stay around ~ I've been wonderin' why you always come around ~ And then you leave me ~ Well, not this time baby ~ I've been wonderin' why you always sleep around ~ I've been wonderin' why you always come around ~ And say you need me ~ Well, not this time baby ~ I, oh I've been waiting for you to knock on my front door ~ I, oh I've been waiting for you to tell me some more, some more ~ But now there's no more beat and my feet ain't tappin' no more ~ You've been wonderin' why I haven't been around ~ You've been wonderin' why I haven't come around ~ It's cause I left you, uh-huh, that's right baby ~ You've been wonderin' why I mmm...mmmm...You've been wonderin' why I mmm...mmm...It's cause I left you, uh-huh, that's right baby ~ I was waiting for you for so long ~ You drug me up and down ~ I don't understand it ~ I ain't gonna play this game no more~ No more
Fallen
Sorry doesn’t tell me that you care ~ I am not the doll that you once had ~ Happiness is something I enjoy ~ And I would like to have it once or twice ~ How much do you want to take from me ~ How much do you want to rape from me ~ I have fallen into this world ~ Without a clue of how it all should be ~ Without a thought of how it all could be ~ With all your thoughts inside of me ~ I have fallen into this world ~ I am not the type to go real slow ~ I just want to jump into the flow ~ Unfortunately, it slipped my mind ~ That you might be the absolute mean kind
Bitch
I don't want to know why you don’t talk to me ~ There’s something in the air tonight, I swear I can almost cut it with a knife ~ You don’t know what you’re talking about ~ When you want to pick a fight ~ If you think you’re gonna fu*k with me you’re in for one, hell of a ride ~ I’m not your bitch, baby, bitch, baby, bitch…baby ~ I don’t need your shit ~ I’m not your cinderella bitch, baby, clean up your shit, baby ~ I’m so sick of it ~ I’m not your bitch, baby, bitch, baby, bitch…baby ~ No not tonight ~ I’m not your barefooted go-fetcha-beer-for-me-bitch, baby ~ You must be out of your mind ~ You make me want to reach in the fridge ~ And grab me a Miller Lite ~ The site of you is frightening ~ When your sorry ass runs and hides ~ You stay out all night and you come home drunk And now you want to pick a fight ~ If you think you're gonna fu*k with me, you're in for one helluva ride ~
Open Eyes
Leaves are floating ~ Trees are blowing in the wind ~ Come and take my hand ~ And we will drift, drift away ~ The sun is risin’ ~ Life is shinin’ once again ~ Oooh, eyes wide open ~ Oooh, the silver lining in the clouds ~ Are breaking through the rainy days ~ The seeds are planted ~ Nurtured love begins today ~ The morning flower blooms ~ Petals fall still every day ~ Mother’s kiss can make ~ All those tears and pain go away ~ You can find the road ~ Happiness is in your own hand, turn the leaf ~ Smile, don’t frown on your brother’s and sisters, turn the other cheek ~ Live not for your possessions and you will be free
Wake Me
I woke up this morning with a stranger in my bed ~ Looked up at the ceiling ~ What the hell was in my head ~ I got up slowly, wrapped the sheets around me ~ I said to the body, get the hell out of here ~ What’s going on here ~ Don’t know what I’ll do tomorrow ~ Don’t know who I’ll be tomorrow ~ Somebody wake me ~ I looked in the mirror and saw the lines around me ~ I picked up a dollar, so blind I couldn’t see ~ I got up slowly and watched the world around me ~ Held on tightly, my God, I couldn’t breathe
Got Me Runnin'
You got me runnin' to the east ~ You got me runnin' to the west ~ You got me runnin' to the east ~ You got me runnin' to the east, west ~ Can't you see I'm runnin' fast ~ You got me runnin' to the north ~ You got me runnin' to the south ~ You got me runnin' to the north, south ~ Can't you see it's from my mouth ~ I need you tonight ~ I need you today ~ I need you, every, every, every, everyday
Wastin' Time
Sitting at the edge of the tide ~ Staring cold and wondering why ~ Can’t things ever change for me? ~ Dark and alone again ~ What she needs now is a friend ~ Believe me I can’t make her see ~ She’s only wastin’ time ~ And all she tells are lies ~ But when life’s passed her by ~ All she’ll know to do is cry ~ Walking with her blindfold on ~ Through a garden, singing her song ~ Hoping someday to be heard ~ She will tell me she hurts inside ~ And as I start to reply, she leaves without hearing a word ~Living in her secret place ~ So no one sees her hidden face ~ Never knowing who she wants to be ~ I know the day will come ~ And as always she will run ~ Thinking every ride is always free
Kind of Girl
I’m the kinda girl who doesn’t wait around ~ I would like to have you, and I would like you now ~ Would you like to know me a little better now ~ Would you like to take me and have me to yourself ~ I want you from up front ~ I want you from behind ~ I want you in my heart ~ I want you all mine ~ I want you from the left ~ I want you from the right ~ I want you in my mind ~ I want you all the time ~ What are you afraid of, this little girl don’t bite ~ Take my little hand, babe, I promise I wont fight ~ Reach inside my pocket and tell me what you find ~ I’ve got a little key to unlock all of mine
Discombobulated
People gather from all around ~ Jesus must be saving on the other side of town ~ Don’t really see what all the fuss is about ~ Just a bunch of poor desperate souls who are near the lost and found ~ Careful what you wish for ~ Might not like what you find ~ It’s safer to hide behind the cobwebs in your mind ~ Seeing what’s reality can make you wish for blind ~ Being fuc*ed-up, insecure, neurotic, everything is fine ~ Discombobulated sanity is highly over-rated ~ Give me a sign ~ I don’t know where I’m going ~ Can’t find my way back home ~ Give me a sign ~ I don’t know where I’ve gone ~ Can’t find my way back home ~ Look around and tell me ~ Do you like what you see ~ Do you wish you took the other pill and hid from reality? ~ Moralistic vultures on the edge of depravity ~ Feeding on the hopeless and devour their dignity ~ Can’t help but feel myself slowly falling apart ~ Right in front of my eyes
Crazy
It’s hard for me, when you want to be without me ~ You’re tempted by the darkness that surrounds you ~ You’re sleazy, yet you sip your wine so sweetly ~ Crazy, crazy, crazy ~ When I’m without you baby ~ It scares me, when you want to go without me ~ You stare down everybody that’s around you ~ Don’t turn around and tell me that you love me ~ Crazy, crazy, crazy ~ When I’m without you baby ~ I said crazy, crazy, crazy ~ When I’m without you baby ~ I’m crazy without you baby, you can’t see my way ~ I’m falling apart now, baby, oh yeah ~ You wont let me inside you, baby ~ You’re turning away ~ If I keep on trying, I’ll go insane
