Fly By Night 03:51
I got an angel to my right and a lawyer to my left and my god its gettin' hard to tell which one will suit me best I got a gun tucked in my pocket Her picture on my locket and my time is getting thin I hear 'em countin' down from ten I gotta fly by night, fly by night My blood is running cold  and I've got nowhere left to go I gotta fly by night, fly by night the weight upon my shoulders  is getting far too hard to hold We've got a problem here my heart was built on fear my foots down on the gas but theres no wheel for me to steer I've got on a perfectly good suit but i'm wearing the wrong shoes i'm solving all of the wrong mysteries with all of the wrong clues I feel emaciated and ostracized I pretend to be a cat but i've got a crocodiles eyes now with my leg pressin' the pedal and my hand grippin' cold metal I've got a meeting I can't miss I've got a dance with the devil I gotta fly by night, fly by night My blood is running cold  and I've got nowhere left to go I gotta fly by night, fly by night the weight upon my shoulders  is getting far too hard to hold So darling rest your head lay back in your bed I promise things will be better when the sun rises oh darling rest your head lay back in your bed I swear that things will be better when the sun rises  I've gotta fly by night

Simple Life 04:01
Give me the trees back in my life I wanna see the stars at night I wanna roll down my windows on a long back road and I want the grassy rolling hills I wanna drive by the paper mill on my way back home from a day of fighting for my meal Give me my cold river to swim Give me back my deep woods and my great white mountains get me off this carnival ride and give me back my simple life Well I wanna ride my bike for miles without seeing a single car  I wanna have myself too many drinks at my favorite dive bar I wanna throw myself the biggest goddamn party you've seen in my back yard I wanna relax and enjoy the silence for once  instead of hearing those sirens and those angry bus drivers how i'd love to find my way out of this push and shove Give me my cold river to swim Give me back my deep woods and my great white mountains get me off this carnival ride and give me back my simple life Oh give me back my life Oh can I hold on forever? Oh can I hold on for good? Oh can I hold on forever? Oh can I hold on for good? I feel my knuckles getting weak  and my fingers are splintering like wood Give me my cold river to swim Give me back my deep woods and my great white mountains get me off this carnival ride and give me back my simple life Oh give me back my life

while we're alone  in the back of your skull I'd like to take some time to introduce myself I am your reason for lust  your desire to sin I am the twinkle in your eye that makes 'em think you're innocent Well you're a pretty little girl you got your head on straight  you got your ducks in a row at least you make them think not a thing in the world the girl could do wrong  but they've never seen you  put your little black dress on You gotta make 'em scream you're toxic you're an irresistible disease you gotta make 'em cry you're love is too expensive  for their cheap hearts to buy oh you're a lion, a black widow oh you're a thief, you're a contract killer oh you're a dangerous vixen body straight out of fiction It's time you got to know yourself  while we're alone  in the back of your skull I'd like to take some time to introduce myself I am your reason for lust  your desire to sin I am the twinkle in your eye that makes 'em think you're innocent oh you're a lion, a black widow oh you're a thief, you're a contract killer oh you're a dangerous vixen body straight out of fiction It's time you got to know yourself  I wanna make you go crazy I wanna drive you insane I wanna watch you pull the hairs out the top of your head I wanna feel your beautiful brain  oh you're a lion, a black widow oh you're a thief, you're a contract killer oh you're a dangerous vixen body straight out of fiction It's time you got to know yourself

Midnight Sky 03:53
Well I sat aside a blazing field and watched it as it burned The sky was firing lightning bolts  at its precious mother earth the trees were tumbling  as if to try to run away and in the howling of the wind I swear I heard somebody say My names the Midnight sky and I've come to show you  what it is I do for fun I shoot fire from my eyes because I love the looks on your clueless little faces as you run I am the Midnight sky and I've come to bring you  a little closer to the end I'll take you on a ride show you whats outside  of that little box you've been living in Because I've witnessed every one of y'all tip-toeing down loud noisy halls I see you as you creep along  I take account of every flaw I like to darken rooms and alter moods In general I like being cruel I'll take you out of your shell  and bring you straight to hell all by the minute the clock strikes twelve I'm the Midnight sky and I've come to show you  what it is I do for fun I shoot fire from my eyes because I love the looks on your clueless little faces as you run I am the Midnight sky and I've come to bring you  a little closer to the end I'll take you on a ride show you whats outside  of that little box you've been living in  I'm the Midnight Sky Well my name is Midnight  and don't you dare wear it out or I'll make sure its the last two syllables you ever shout I'll be the reason that you  shake and shiver in your bed that nightmare that sticks to the back of your head all the trends that you follow  or the pills that you swallow to make it all go smooth will soon be meaningless Im the Midnight Sky

Doctor 04:31
Doctor, oh doctor would you please fix me up I feel like damaged goods like a broken down truck doctor, oh doctor could you make me brand new could you get this heart beating polish up these old shoes I am falling down the steep steps of life and I could use myself a solid spit-shine and I would be much obliged If I could just return this dead brain of mine in fact I think I would be fine  If you just left me hollow inside doctor, oh doctor could you tell me what's wrong  with this sick head of mine doctor, oh doctor do you think this will all pass with time could you give me some good news give me a positive diagnosis maybe even try something new whether it be surgery or hypnosis because that light at the end of the tunnel it just keeps gettin' brighter and lifes referees just keep punchin' me out I've never been a strong fighter and I would be much obliged If I could just return this dead brain of mine in fact I think I would be fine  If you just left me hollow inside so keep your pretty ears glued and I will keep singin' these sad songs for you  oh keep your pretty ears glued and I will keep playin' the blues for you because it's all I can do

I've got miles of ocean a thousand acres of stone before I reach my destination before I crawl home I got a mountain to climb I got a soul to find Hell I've got north and south Carolina  on my mind I got a railroad map and with any luck  it might help me stay on track I got a sore neck from always facing forward I aint ever turnin' back  I got a real fierce case  of the homesick blues and I use it to move my road-worn shoes my road-worn shoes now I could stumble oh I could shake hell, both my legs might even crumble and break but I aint come across a bit of pain this body couldn't take I could get hit by a truck I could catch myself  a real bad string of luck but I swear to god  I'm gonna die  standing straight up I got a railroad map and with any luck  it might help me stay on track I got a sore neck from always facing forward I aint ever turnin' back  I got a real fierce case  of the homesick blues and I use it to move my road-worn shoes my road-worn shoes I got a whole world to see and I don't care about the devil standin' in front of me I got a paradise in sight so until I get home keep burnin' that porch light I got a railroad map and with any luck  it might help me stay on track I got a sore neck from always facing forward I aint ever turnin' back  I got a real fierce case  of the homesick blues and I use it to move my road-worn shoes my road-worn shoes

I say we televise the rules watch the courtrooms flood with fools drownin' in a pool of their own sweat March 'em through the streets watch 'em shufflin' their feet give 'em holiday that they won't soon forget Oh shackle 'em in chains and take away their names beet 'em to the punch at their own game villains, tricksters, swindlers, swine sorry boys it's feedin' time the bell for you is just about to chime bring out your soul your silver and gold it's time for you to repay what you owe you've gotten off too long switchin' right and wrong its time for you to reap what you sew  Terrified, terrified  I guess thats how it feels inside a body thats got nowhere left to hide oh all alone, all alone I hear that's how the story goes livin' by the book your rifle wrote oh memorize your scars and count your lucky stars these fair citizens have lifted up the bar now lets count one, two, three, four it's time for us to even out the score bring out your soul your silver and gold it's time for you to repay what you owe you've gotten off too long switchin' right and wrong its time for you to reap what you sew

Somewhere out in a western desert as far out as you can go you're gonna take a left as you pass forever  only ten more miles or so when you get there you'll know You'll see a gate with a man holding out his hand signaling to take it slow and he'll say with a grin as the sky goes dim welcome to the devil's rodeo we got thrills we got chills we got terrifying spills we got women as hot as fire we got any kind of action your looking for  we got your hearts deepest desire There's a gentleman's duel about to take place in the center of the ring and a man's about to dive into a whiskey jar  from the top of some rickety scaffolding So leave your coat at the door and put your hat on the rack don't be afraid but don't try to relax this isn't just a figment of your imagination oh take a breath of fresh air and try hard not to care don't pick any fights and it's best not to stare out here it's easy to go missin'  without an explanation  we got thrills we got chills we got terrifying spills we got women as hot as fire we got any kind of action your looking for  we got your hearts deepest desire There's a gentleman's duel about to take place in the center of the ring and a man's about to dive into a whiskey jar  from the top of some rickety scaffolding well theres a bull riding match in an hour and a half and a knife throwing contest comes right after that then everyone will gather 'round  for the main event so grab an old pair of clothes no need to powder your nose this is the place where anything goes welcome to the devil's rodeo we got thrills we got chills we got terrifying spills we got women as hot as fire we got any kind of action your looking for  we got your hearts deepest desire There's a gentleman's duel about to take place in the center of the ring and a man's about to dive into a whiskey jar  from the top of some rickety scaffolding somewhere out in a western desert as far out as you can go you're gonna take a left as you pass forever  only ten more miles or so when you get there you'll know
