FLOWERS BY THE DOOR
All my life has been a dream
An endless nightmare it seems
Tonight’s the night, yes this is the end
You’ve heard it before, this is what I said

I think about gone yesterdays
All the things that people would say
Tonight’s the night, I’m gonna find the truth
Tonight’s the night. goodbye to you

Chorus:
Because I can’t take it anymore
No, I can’t make it anymore
Don’t say nothing cause baby there ain’t no more
Just leave your flowers by the door

You can’t see me now, cause I’m in the day
It’s all over, no one left to pay
I’m finally happy with no yesterday
I’m still alive, but I’m in the grave.

IN TIME
Flashing red lights tell the time of day
Fucked little boxes you can sit and watch you life pass.
Thoughts of yesterday when things were alright.
The caring are cared for you didn't have to fight.

People become bodies rotting smelling flesh.
It, it's all over it's all over in time.
And time again passes enemies become friends.
Survivors start over in a new place, in a new time.

IT'S GRAY
Once around the cycle you can get used to it
Twice around the cycle you can get used to it
Three times around the cycle and you start to get sick
Four times around the cyle and you wonder is it worth it

Well I don't know what it's all about
And it makes me wonder will it ever work out
Well I don't know and it makes me feel so down
It's crazy

You tell me that you love me when you know it's just a lie
You tell me that you love me causes you know it makes me cry
Well I look into your eyes and see all I fear
This gray game you're playin' keeps me cryin' black tears

Well I don't know what it's all about
And it makes me wonder will it ever work out
Well I don't know and it makes me feel so down
It's crazy

You can look one way, you can feel the gray game,
You look the other way, you can see it's just the same
We live out our lives in fear and shame
Lies, and adultry and everything else that maims

Well I don't know what it's all about
And it makes me wonder will it ever work out
Well I don't know and it makes me feel so down
It's crazy
back
JUST LIKE ME
I think about you
And I dream about you
In your white night life
But you your not quite right
You make me believe in the night
Yes this is your life

Chorus:
Well you’re just like me
You’re not a king
And you’re not a queen
You’re just like me

And I have a sole
I never really lost control
And you, you have not right
Can’t you see, can’t you see
You’re just like me
Your identity is lie a leaf on a tree
You look you listen you follow me
The father wind blows from the far north
Your mind is somewhere under the parch
You’re like me, you’re just like me
You’re like me, you’re just like me
Tell me of your sacred prayer
Look at me with your green-eyed stare
All your lies, they sound the same
To me it doesn’t really matter
We’re all the same, you’re just like me

JOHN
There's  rain on my door step
I've got music in my mind
Time on my hands to sit and wonder why
In this world of dark angels
And blood ridden reapers
With money and the power of life
They live as our keepers
I want to be alone today
Cause that's where I feel safe
Alone in the rain
The sadness numbs the pain everyday
They give you golden promises
The knowlegde of the ages
Speaking in tongues, golden wings rosey faces
I saw the wart on TV today
A speech for all, but nothing to say
And I wonder, why- I ask myself
Why, I believe well it looks
Like I've been deceived
I want to be alone today
Cause that's where I feel safe
Alone in the rain
The sadness numbs the pain
Do you know your same
All alone in the rain we're all the same
I'm gone today

NICE GUYS
Everybody givin', nobody takin'
I'm tried to be a nice guy in the past
Well see this boy a livin'
He's sinkin' and a swimmin' and
Nobody knows he's drownin' fast

Well I met her today
A lady and a lawyer, she told me
Of my reward for all the
Things I've done the truth to her
Was none, now I lay my
Guilt down on her

Chorus:
I say nice guys, they finish last
Don't give me another chance
If you do I'll take my guns
And watch you dance
I say nice guys, they finish last

Well I saw her today
You know things have changed
It's time to get my revenge
For all the things I've done
The truth to her was none
I lay all my guilt down on her

I say nice guys, they finish last
Don't give me another chance
If you do I'll take my guns
And watch you dance
I say nice guys, they finish last

BLACKMAGIC
Bridge:  I believe in magic
         I don't believe in love
         'Cause I read your starlines
         I didn't see no love

Chorus:  I saw your black cat
         I saw your witch crafts
         I don't need your 666 pack
         I don't need your love

Well you left youself neaked
For me and my friends to see
Your iced over graveyard
Supposed to put a spell on me

Bridge

I saw you walkin' downtown
With a man in black yesterday,
No ifs, ands, or buts,
it doen't really matter what you say,

Chorus

I believe (in black magic)
I believe (in black magic)
I believe (in black magic)
In black magic

(repeat last stanza 6 times)

RED SHADOWS
Something changed today
Everything is out of place
You said we had to go
Because you saw the red shadows

Close your eyes and it wont go away
You know the end is here today
Say goodbye turn your head
The time has come just like you said
(Red Shadows) I can feel the electric rain
The night won’t come again
And your face, it has turned so gray
You wish it was yesterday, yesterday

Goodbye my love I’ll see you soon
I don’t know where I don’t have a clue
Don’t look back, don’t make the turn
They told me that these red shadows burn
Red shadows, red shadows
Tell me now it’s true
Are these red skys really blue
Tell me is it a lie
Because I don’t see any sky at all

I can feel the electric rain
The night wont come again
Your face has turned so gray
We all wish it was yesterday!!!

AMERICAN ZONE
There's blood on the streets again today
All the people dying what a price we have to pay
Around the world they're fightin'
It's not that far away
feel the darkness
Can we change our ways?

Chours:  We line in the American zone
         Free of fear in our American home
         Swimmin pool and digital phone
         What do we say when Johnny comes home

Johnny just got back from war today
Beruit weekend, the powder keg
He was 20 years old and he lost both of his legs
We're all really sorry today

Chorus

What do we say
What do we say
What do we say
When Johnny comes home
and he lost his legs.

HOW DO
Well I don't mind if you drink or smoke,
It makes no difference to me.
But when you start puttin' words in my throat,
The point there I just can't see.
See I'm the kinda guy who's easy to please,
I just do what I do.
Nothing gonna make me change my ways.
Not money, not drugs, not even you.

So don't mind my mind
It's just another thought to pass the time, How Do...

Well everybody do what you wanna do,
Gonna work now naturally.
No one here gonna tell you how,
Or tell you what to see.
See life is easy and it's not that hard,
If you know what you gotta do.
So go make it happen cause life is action,
And fate is up to you.

So don't mind my mind
It's just another thought to pass the time, How Do...

Well we don't mind if you drink or smoke,
It makes no difference to us.
But when you start puttin' words in our throats,
The point there we just can't see.
See we're the kinda guys that are easy to please,
We just do what we do.
Nothing gonna make us change our ways.
Not money, not drugs, not even you.
