60 Feet Tall

You're so cruel and shameless
But I can't leave you be
You're so cold and dangerous
I can't leave you be
You got the kind of loving
I need constantly

Hooked up to my motor
All day long
We go down to Texas
Up to Montreal

Two eyes none the wiser
In the deep
When the water gets hotter
Both hands in the deep

You got my attention
You got it all

I can take the trouble
I'm sixty feet tall

I know it ain't easy
I must tap your evil well
‘Cause boy, do you come roaring
Like a bat out of hell
You drive me so reckless
You'll kill us all

I can take the trouble
I'll take you on

I can take the trouble
I'm sixty feet tall

You're so cruel and shameless
But I can let leave you be
You're so cold and dangerous
But I can't leave you be
You got the kind of loving
I need constantly

I can take the trouble
‘Cause I'm sixty feet
Tall

Hang You From The Heavens

I never know how to treat you
You think I love you but it ain't true
I'm walking away now
One step forward and back two

I like to grab you by the hair
And hang you up from the heavens

I don't know how to let you go
Or if I should keep you
I don't know how to let you know
I really don't got a reason

I like to grab you by the hair
And drag you to the devil

I never know why I push you
Trash you just to confuse you
I make a hole just to see how
See through clean I can cut you

I like to grab you by the hair
And hang you up from the heavens

I 'd like to grab you by the hair
And sell you off to the devil

I never know what mood you be
Be mine be kind but be cruel to me
I'm walking away now
One step forward and back three

I never know what I’m gonna to do
I say I’m leaving but it ain't true
I got a lot I could do to you
Nothing you can do to stop it

I want to grab you by the hair
I want to grab you by the hair
I want to grab you by the hair
And hang you up from the heavens

I Cut Like A Buffalo

You know I look like a woman, but I
Cut like a buffalo
Stand up like a tower
But I fall
Just like a domino

You can hit me if you want to
Do whatever makes you happy
But don't take it easy on me
'Cause I don't know how to take it

You're a prick with a pin woman

Wake me up when it's broke
But only if it's broken
You know I treat you like a joke but you
Can't tell when I’m joking

You cut a record on my throat
But the record's not broken

Is that you choking
Is that you choking
Is that you choking
Or are you just joking

You know I look like a woman but i
Cut like a buffalo
Wake me up when it's broke
Just like a woman
You cut a record on my throat then you
Break me wide open

You're a pick with a pin woman
Push it into my skin girl
I'm a prick when I sin and I
Know I can't win

You know I look like a woman and i
Cut like a buffalo

So Far From Your Weapon

There’s a bullet in my pocket burning a hole

You're so far from your weapon
And the place you were born

There's a bullet in my pocket burning a hole

You're so far from your weapon
And you want to go home

I try to give you whiskey
But it never do work
Suddenly, you're begging me
To do so much worse

I knew it from the get go
The bullet was cursed
Ever since I had you
Every little thing hurts

You wanna get up
Let go
I say no

You dream of seeing fire in them hills
But you better wipe that smile from your lips
Which of us will be the one to go
He who hits the road's the one who lives

Treat Me Like Your Mother

Don't act like you can't act
I know I seen you do it
You better learn to shake hands
And treat me like your mother
Don't act like you can't act
Stand up like a man
You better learn to shake hands
And treat me like your mother

You came on too late
To do a thing

C'mon look me in the eye
You want to try to tell a lie
I bet you can't and you know why
I'm just like your mother

You cane on too late
Play dumb
Play dead
Play straight

Who's got it figured out
Play dumb, play dead, play straight
Who's got it figured out
Play straight
Try to manipulate

M-a-n-i-p-u-late
Am I
M-I-too
Am I too
Late

Who's got it figured out
Left, right, left, right
Got it figured out
Play straight

Stand up like a man
You better learn to shake hands
Look me in the eye now
Treat me like your mother
C'mon look me in the eye
You want to try to tell a lie
You can't
You know why
I'm just like your mother

Play dumb, play dead
Trying to manipulate
You blink when you breathe
You breathe when you like
You blink when you lie
Who's got it figured out
Left right left right
Who's got it figured out
Play straight

You blink when you breathe
And you breathe when you lie
You blink when you lie
Who's got it figured out
Play straight

Rocking Horse

I drank some dirty water
Shook evil hands
I've done some bad things
And they get easier to do

Then I wrote a nasty letter
And I sent it to the lord
I said don't you dare come
And bother me no more

I had a good friend
I could only destroy
And lovers I loved less
Than anybody could afford

Yes but this old rocking horse
Just nods his head
And he's gonna rock back and forth
The way that he always did

Baby don't you bother
Tasting the water
And baby don't you bother
Coming closer to me

Can you see my eyes
They're half the size
And I’m not able
To look at you

New Pony

Once I had a pony, her name was Lucifer
I had a pony, her name was Lucifer
She broke her leg and she needed shooting
I swear it hurt me more than it could ever have hurted her

Sometimes I wonder what's going on in the mind of miss x
Sometimes I wonder what's going on in the mind of miss x
You know she got such a sweet disposition
I never know what the poor girl's gonna do to me next

They say you're usin' voodoo, your feet walk by themselves
They say you're usin' voodoo, I seen your feet walk by themselves
Oh, baby, that god you been prayin' to
Is gonna give you back what you're wishin' on someone else

Come over here pony, I, I wanna climb up one time on you
Come over here pony, I, I wanna climb up one time on you
Well, you're so bad and nasty
But I love you, yes I do

Bone House

I build a house
For your bones
I build a house
I build a home

I wrote a song
Go on and listen
That's all you'll hear
When I go missing

I always get the things I want

I make a nest
For your hair
I lay you down
I lay you there
I build a ship
I sink and sail
Every tooth
And every nail

I always get the things I want

I put your heart
In a vault
That's how I get
The things I want
I lay a road
For your mind
So your mind can
Go go go go

I always get the things I want

I build a house
I build a home
I build a house
For your bones
I build a house
For your bones
I build a house
I build a home

No Hassle Night

I'm looking for a place to go
Where the sun goes down
And stays down
I'm looking for a place to go
Where I can lay low
Die slow

My baby, she's uptight
Her face frozen in daylight
My darling she's a drifter
Nothing out there seems to fit her

I'm looking for a no hassle night
I've become her and it hurts my mouth
I'm looking for a no hassle night
I've become her and it hurts my mind
I'm looking for a no hassle night

My baby, she's a burglar
Nothing I know can deter her
I'm looking for a place to go
Were the sun goes down
I can lay low

Will There Be Enough Water

Will there be enough water
When my ship comes in

And when I set sail
Will there be enough wind

Just because you caught me
Does that make it a sin

Cool water
And the cool wind

Sea of Cowards

Blue Blood Blues

Yeah, I love you so much
I don't need to exist
I don't need to exist

Dripping blue blood from my wrist
I don't need to resist
Yeah all the neighbours get pissed when I
Come home, I make them nervous
Come home, come home

Yeah I make ‘em nervous
Crack a window, crack a broken bone
Crack your knuckles when you're at home
Lick an ice cream cone
Crack a bone
Yeah crack a bone, yeah Crack a bone
Crack a bone, crack a bone, crack a bone

All you had to do was ask
Who is it that wears a mask
Well you put me to task
You know you
Leave me broke and shirtless
Check your lips at the door woman
Shake your hips like battleships
Yeah all the white girls trip when I
Sing at Sunday service
Sing at Sunday service
Sing at Sunday service
I sing at Sunday service
Sing, sing, sing

I only got one face
Da da da da
I tried too long to erase
You know if I left
Da da da da
I wouldn't leave a trace
I wouldn't leave a trace
Da da da da
I wouldn't leave a trace

If I left you woman, you know
I wouldn't leave a trace
I wouldn't leave a trace
I wouldn't leave a trace
I wouldn't leave a trace
I wouldn't leave a trace
I wouldn't leave a trace

If I left, you'd never see me again
You'd never see me again
I wouldn't leave a trace
You'll never see me again

Hustle And Cuss

Knock on the door
And the door knocks back

Fire goes back inside the match
Back down the stack

Lick on the dust

The Difference Between Us

I'm not the way that you found me
I'm neither here nor there
One day I'm happy and healthy
Next I ain't doing so well

Let's go walk to the border
Let's go walk along the edge
Let's go where no one can see us
And find the difference between us

You can cry like a baby
Just let me do what I need to
It might be to me or to you
Just let me do what I need to

I'm not the way that you found me
I'm neither here nor there
One day I'm happy and healthy
Next I ain't doing as well

Let's go walk to the border
Let's go walk along the edge
Let's go where no one can see us
And find the difference between us

I'm not the way that you found me
I'm neither here nor there
One day I'm happy and healthy
Next I ain't doing so well

Let's go walk to the border
Let's go walk along the edge

And find the difference between us

You can cry like a baby

It might be to me or to you
Just let me do what I need to

I'm not the way that you found me
I'm neither here nor there
One day I'm happy and healthy
Next I ain't doing as well

Die By The Drop

Let's dig a hole in the sand brother
A little grave we can fill together
I got myself a problem
That I've been looking to sell

Some people die just a little
Sometimes you die by the drop
Some people die in the middle
I live just fine on the top

I'm gonna take you for worse or better
I'm gonna make you for worse or better
I'm gonna take you for worse or better
To my little grave

I never said we was equal
I never wished to be saved
If I'm a problem, then preach on brother
Let's dig a little grave

I'm gonna take you for worse or better
I'm gonna make you for worse or better
I'm gonna take you for worse or better
To my little grave

Let's dig a hole in the sand brother
Slide off the land for worse or better
Get right down to the bottom
If one goes so do the other

Some people die just a little
Sometimes you die by the drop
Some people die in the middle
I live just fine on the top, yeah

I'm gonna take you for worse or better
I'm gonna take you for worse or better
I'm gonna take you for worse or better
To my little grave

I'm gonna take you for worse or better
To my little grave

I Can't Hear You

I can't hear you
You're talking to yourself
And what you're used to
Don't work on no one else
I'm gonna teach you
And keep you for myself
I'm gonna take you by the hand
I'm gonna walk you to my house
So I can hear you

Look up, can't say so
Naive be so naive
You're stashing money
And rubies up your sleeves
I'm gonna teach you
You're never gonna leave
I'm gonna make you understand
There's nobody you can trust
But me

I want to hear you
You're talking to yourself
And what you're used to
Don't work on no one else
I'm gonna teach you
And keep you for myself
I'm gonna take you by the hand
I'm gonna walk you to my house
I want to hear you

I want to hear you
You're talking to yourself
And what you're used to
Don't work on no one else
I'm gonna teach you
And keep your for myself
I'm gonna take you by the hand
I'm gonna walk you to my house
So I can hear you

I want to hear you
I want to hear you
I want to hear you
I want to hear you

Gasoline

To be afraid is a luxury
Don't cool your engines for me
I don't want a sweetheart
All I want is a machine

I love you the most I do
When you're so close to me
I can smell the gasoline

To be soft is too easy hon
Don't get soft on me
I don't want a sweetheart, sweetheart
I want a machine

I love you the most I do
When you're so close to me
I can smell the gasoline

To be afraid is a luxury
Don't cool your engines for me
I don't want a sweetheart
I want a machine

I love you the most I do
When you're so close to me
I can smell the gasoline

What you whispered, should be screamed
Screamed at the top of your lungs
Any sense you had in the morning
Is gone when the day is done

I love you the most I do
When you're so close to me
I can smell the gasoline

No horse

I ain't got no horse
I ain't got no horizon
Just a scar under my eye
I swear I got from crying

Where I was born, it don't matter
There ain't no going back
I have no home to take you
I never dream like that

I sit and watch my cigarette smoking on itself
I sit and watch my cigarette smoking on itself
I sit and watch my cigarette smoking on itself
And I think, what the hell, hell, hell, hell, hell

I don't want you to like me
There's no way that you can
I don't want to touch me honey
I am just a man

There ain't no kind of healing
All my coins are flipped out
I'm just a' livin' and breathing
On what I steal from myself

I sit and watch my cigarette smoking on itself
I sit and watch my cigarette smoking on itself
I sit and watch my cigarette smoking on itself
What the hell...

Looking At The Invisible Man

I'm the invisible man
I'm like a broke down engine
No mouth, no hands
No skin on my bones at all
No skin on my bones at all
I got nothing
You can't hit me

Yeah you're looking at me
Like you know what you're talking about
Ain't nothing to see
Wave your hands in the dark woman
Hey you're looking at me
Like you know what you're talking about
Ain't nothing to see, yes ain't nothing
You can't hit me

I'm like a broke down engine
I'm the invisible man
No skin on my bones at all

Yeah you look like you know what you're talking about
Like you know what you're talking about
Like you know what you're talking about
There ain't nothing to see
There ain't nothing to see
You can't hit me
You can't hit me

I'm the invisible man
I'm like a newspaper
You can't read me
You think you know what you're talking about
What you're talking about

Yeah you're looking at me
There ain't nothing to see
Wave your hands in the dark woman
Yeah you act like you know
Like, like you know, like you know, like you know
Like you know, like you know, like you know
Like you know, like you know
What you're talking about
Like you know what you're talking about
Like you know
Like you know what you're talking about
Like...

Jawbreaker

I run so far away from you
It don't matter where I've been
I run around the world from you
Here you are again

You're a real jawbreaker
A real crook obscene
I'd call you a heatbreaker
But I reserve that for nicer things

I try to kill the memory
By shacking up with living things
But you must get that psychic sting
Here you are again

You're a real jawbreaker
A real crook obscene
I'd call you a heatbreaker
But I reserve that for nicer things

I run so far away from you
It don't matter where I've been
I run around the world from you
Here you are again

You're a real jawbreaker
A real crook obscene
I'd call you a heatbreaker
But I reserve that for nicer things

Old Mary

Old Mary
Full of grease
Your heart stops within you
Scary are the fruits of your tomb
And harsh are the terms of your sentence
Old Mary
Sister of mine
Mother to the world
Carry this burden
Now and till the moment of your last breath

Non Albums Tracks

Are Your Friends Electric

( Gary Numan cover / Hang You from the Heavens EP )

It's cold outside
And the paint's peeling off of my walls
There's a man outside
In a long coat, grey hat, smoking a cigarette

Now the light fades out
And I wonder what I'm doing in a room like this
There's a knock on the door
And just for a second I thought I remembered you

So now I'm alone
Now I can think for myself
About little deals
And issues
And things that I don't understand
Like a white lie at night
Or a sly touch at times
I don't think it meant anything to you

So I open the door
It's the friend that I left in the hallway
Oh, please sit down
A candle lit the shadow on a wall near the bed

You know I have to ask
But are friends electric?
Mine's broke down
And now I've got no one to love

So I found your reasons
For the phone calls and smiles
And it hurts
And I'm lonely
And I should never have tried
And I missed you tonight
It must be time to leave
You see it means everything to me

Outside

( The Downliners Sect. Cover / Horehound i-tunes bonus track )

Showing signs of nothing but troubled times
Since I had you
Had you on my mind

But your heart is locked
You left me outside

Don't get a buzz, baby
When I start buzzing when you're here
Why don't you return
Please come over here

But your heart's locked up
You left me outside

You left me outside

I've been brought down
And it's a bad sensation
It's just too much
Too much for me to take

Without a chance now
There's no romance now
I better leave before I break

Oh oh
Hey

I've been brought down
And it's a bad sensation
It's just too much
Too much for me to take

Without a chance now
There's no romance now
I better leave before I break

Oh oh

Don't get a buzz, baby
When I start buzzing when you're near
Why don't you return
Please come over here

But your heart's locked up
You left me outside

Rolling In On A Burning Tire

( The Twilight Saga - Eclipse Soundtrack )

The moon is always full for us
The road is always clear
That's not what you want to hear
One is born so one can die
You must wait a real long time
That's more than you can bear

And the days will come and go
And the band will march along
Till the day you cast a shadow
And it's nothing like your own

Rolling in on a burning tire
You're going to set my house on fire
Just to show me you were there
Well I was raised up like a snake
You were raised to leave me bait
I always, always take

And the days will come and go
And the band will march along
Till the day you cast a shadow
And it's nothing like your own

The moon is always full for us
The road is always clear
That's not what you want to hear
That's not what you want to hear

You Just Can't Win

( Them cover )

One more coffee, one more cigarette
One more morning trying to forget
If I had the chance
To join your dance
I wouldn't like to bet
That your game is something yet

It's a shame
Ain't natural for you
Baby, it's a sin
You know you just can't win
When you are in

You used to ride on buses
Take a greyhound to Birmingham
Now you go by aeroplane honey
Nothing will bring you down
And I know nothing can

It's a shame
Ain't natural for you
Baby, it's a sin
You know you just can't win
When you are in

Now the road is dark and lonely
But you are in your brand new mode
You're living up in Manhattan now
And I’m somewhere down in Savannah
Way down below

It's a shame
Ain't natural for you
Baby, it's a sin
You know you just can't win
When you are in
