I Want You 02:31
"I Want You" Girl I hate to make you cry And I hate the way I feel at night But darling you know it's the only way That I seem to make it through my day I want you to fill me up with open arms I want you to be there when desire calls I want you so badly to come back home Come back darling come back home I drank myself away again last night Just to get away from all them reasons why Yes it seems like I never have the right words to say Come back darling please forgive me I want you to fill me up with open arms I want you to be there when desire calls I want you so badly to come back home Come back darling come back home Come back darling come back home
3.
Spoon Fed 05:18
"Spoon Fed" the wheel rolls around the stars will fall the captain is dead at his post i've lost myself in now in time they'll fall in time it all comes back around hey man, is that spoon fed? did your daddy take the medicine and come out dead? My sense of time is naught my head is in the clouds the ribbons are done up in her hair as spiders march up the stairs in time they'll fall in time it all comes back around hey man, is that spoon fed? did your daddy take the medicine and come out dead? how we cut through the night like hollow pointed bullets packed with amphetamines and nicotine we had no intention of stopping or even slowing down if the thought crossed out minds ::CENSORED:: we are all ravenous werewolf children strangled in the intestines of our mother's carcass howling at the night sky while chasing the moon in time they'll fall in time it all comes back around hey man, is that spoon fed? did your daddy take the medicine and come out dead?
4.
"What Have I Done" There's steam rolling over the flat land I grit my teeth then i grab that gun What have I done What have I done What have I done To deserve this Now a woman kneels at the grave of her children I sit and watch her tears fall from afar Now the fog rushed over our lands I can't see her now yet I can hear her call What have I done What have I done What have I done To deserve this
5.
"Hell & A Headlight" I can hear them howling out my window Washed my floor with salt and lined it on my sill Devils shoe string hanging over my front door Must keep them hounds at bay from taking any more Well it seems as if i'm standing in between hell and a headlight Oh yes i did dig where the southern crossed the dog right out of thin air came a girl a real tush hog well it's been 10 years now and how that time has past should have kept my mouth done shut and never made that pact Well it seems as if i'm standing in between hell and a headlight
6.
"What You Got In Your Pocket" What you got in your pocket I wanna see it now What you got in your pocket girl Is it a ticket to go down town What you got in your pocket I know it can't be good Whenever you run away there's always some other dude Oh baby doll I dont miss you I know it's hard to believe but Should I stay here or shall I leave What you got in your pocket I wanna see it now What you got in your pocket love Is it something that will run me round Every time the summer comes babe you know it has to end And I'm walking around now without my only friend Oh baby doll I dont miss you I know it's hard to believe but Should I stay here or shall I leave What you got in your pocket now What you got in your pocket babe Come on tell me tell me now Oh baby What you got in your pocket now What you got in your pocket babe Come on tell me tell me doll Oh baby doll
7.
Tarot Card 02:43
"Tarot Card" Tick tock Alarm clock ring'n Place feels a little less than home Rusty leaves and howl'n trees Someone give that dog a bone Well hell the old time sailor Finally dabbled in the tarot cards And I believe it's time for a change Cuz I really don't like the odds Why would I try to change you If I just wanna take you home Why would I try to change you If I just wanna take you home Kiss'n soft lips While silver fish Sliver into the cracks of her room Dark face peeks into the window Had to scare'm away with the broom Why would I try to change you If I just wanna take you home Why would I try to change you If I just wanna take you home
8.
Kansas City 03:22
"Kansas City" I know it's wrong but it feels so god damn right I shouldn't be so unfaithful but just give me one more night We'll chase shoot'n stars get kicked out of bars Make love'n in the junkyard in old stock cars Oh what you do to me Darling I wish that you could see What you do to me Well get dolled up cuz we're leaving tonight No need to bring the dresser honey we'll start a new life I know the perfect place and I'mma take you there Don't got enough time so don't give me that stare Oh what you do to me Darling I wish that you could see What you do to me So Let's go down to Kansas City Fix ya a nice dress you'll sure look pretty I got a new pair of shoes and a Cadillac Box of cigars and I'll keep my guns in the back Oh what you do to me Darling I wish that you could see What you do to me Don't you worry about my brother He'll never run that far He's prolly with that floozy at Johnny's Bar I got the engine revved on this old straight six If you're ready to hit the tar babe I'm ready for the stick Oh what you do to me Darling I wish that you could see What you do to me So Let's go down to Kansas City Fix ya a nice dress you'll sure look pretty I got a new pair of shoes and a Cadillac Box of cigars and I'll keep my guns in the back Oh what you do to me Darling I wish that you could see What you do to me We're gonna down to Kansas City

"Hallow's Eve" All my children listen unto me Tonight the devil comes into thee For this is hallow's eve Lay a skeleton at your sill Embrace the darkness and do his will This is hallow's eve Line your bed with lion salt On the windows and down the hall This is hallow's eve Goofer dust above your door Chalk the sigil on the kitchen floor This is hallow's eve
12.
"Pitchfork '08" I've been watching you I've been watching you Steady with a pitchfork in his hand Archangel Saint Michael Steady with a pitchfork in his hand Pokes and prods For the lord Trying to make me understand Well I understand I understand Steady with a pitchfork in his hand Alpha Omega Steady with a pitchfork in his hand Sipped his wine Broke his bread Yes I denied his sons right hand I understand I understand Steady with a pitchfork in his hand

"Maple Shade Motet" you're as cheap as the hourly rate at maple shade amongst the dust and the linens you lay at maple shade you let him tempt you and drag you to the mud he wrapped you up in pipe dreams and love the sign flickers as i crumble away at maple shade the room was vacant so i asked the ashtray at maple shade you let him tempt you and drag you along filled you up with pipe dreams and love now who wouldn't love you with those eyes glistening glittered gold now who wouldn't keep you for their own now who wouldn't love you with those eyes glistening glittered gold now who wouldn't keep you for their own you're as cheap as the hourly rate at may-ple shade
