BLACK WALL STREET
(From the albums Headless Breakfast and Blithe)
The street was lost in ‘21
The KKK and Beelzebub
Went down on Black Wall Street
The kerosene paint did its job
But not as well as the mob
Way down on Black Wall Street
And I know you cannot fall...
They shot down mobs
In their beds
And strung them up
Cold and dead
Way back in 1921
When it was said that they won
The world wide war number one
Laid down on Black Wall Street
And I know you cannot fall
And I know she was used to men to please
She liked to take the sleaze
She liked to terrorize
Her feet were put to fire
And I know you cannot...

CRACKHOUSE
(From the albums Headless Breakfast and The Shotgun)
If you want to find a cure for being such a bore
Well then you and I could be the best of friends
Cos in the land of everything it’s hard to find a thing
When you’re shopping at the local discount store
And if you want to fight a lot and wage war on your friends
Well that’s sure to be arranged before you die
And if you want to find yourself and never be again
Well there is a little place you could try
Cos there’s a little crack house down on Philadelphia St.
Where they don’t expect that much out of time

RUSSIAN BRIDE
(From the album Headless Breakfast)
Got a gin and tonic on another rainy day
Got a Russian bride and I know she’s on her way
Gotta run, gotta bug you
But I don’t fix
I don’t fix a thing!
Got a look up closer
And another of your remarks
Gotta lot of peaches
And there ain’t no end in sight
Gotta run, gotta find you
But I don’t face
I don’t face a thing!
Got a gin and tonic
And another rainy day
Got a Russian bride
And I know she’s on her way
Hope I wake up sleeping
Hope I wake up and you’re dead!
I’ll wake up in your bed...!...

SOMEDAY
(From the Bloodbath album and The Long Goodbye demo sessions)
I will never get to meet you
I’ll be the one you cannot see
I will let you down and I will pick you up again
I will wait, crave away
Another fix to save the day
I will keep your picture by my bed
Cos someday you’ll be dead
And someday I’ll dead dead
That’s right, the women are smarter...
There’ll be time when we grow old
To count the things that we have sold
I will let you down and never pick you up again
I will wait and fade away
Another truth to save the day
I will keep your picture by my bed
And someday we’ll be dead...
That’s right, the women are smarter...!...

THINGS ARE ONLY GETTING WORSE
(From the albums Bloodbath and The Shotgun)
Things are only getting worse
Humanity, yes it’s a curse
Killing one another to make a dime
Well I’m wasting all my time
Yeah I’m wasting all my time...
She looked like a healthy mother
She had a criminal smile
She knows she’s on my mind
But I’m wasting all my time
And I’m wasting all my time (it’s alright)
Things are only getting worse...!...

YOU'LL GO FAR
(From the albums Headless Breakfast and The Shotgun)
I had a friend named Rocco
He lived in the back of a Scirocco
Sells on the streets, but he’s a good man
His kids gotta eat, but they got a new plan
Parents drink in their car
Competition at the local bar
With quick reactions, chances are,
If you’re in the mood, you’ll go far
I had a friend named Rico
Kept his habit incognito
He disappeared into the gutter
The thought alone makes me shudder
Parents drink in their car
Competition at the local bar
With quick reactions, chances are,
If you’re in the mood, you’ll go far
You'll go far...
