I pulled on the interstate
Golden gloves blood on my face
I entered a rotten state
Tears were falling down
And then a voice it came to me
I’ve magic eyes and history
Take solace here Rt 53
The sun is coming now
All hail to the rising sun
He will stop your eyes from crying
All hail to the rising sun
He will stop your eyes from crying
A Navy friend he said to me
Life is short take all you see
All due respect I disagree
His wisdom was not sound
Now stoke your cheek
Take a breath
All that you feel it comes from death
For the death so stars gives life to me
His ships are burning now.
All hail to the burning ships
They are women, they must be free
All hail to the burning ships
They are women, they must be free
They must be free
Oooohh x4
I think of all the wars we’ve won
Such a funny word ‘cause nothing comes
From winning wars and killing sons
The Fairy King expounds
Now stomp your foot down in the field
Throw your arms up make it real
For the king inside knows not to steel
Blood from this old town
All hail to the Fairy King
He will lay your burden down
All hail to the Fairy King
He will lay your burden down
All hail to the Fairy King
He will lay your burden down
All hail to the Fairy King
He will lay your burden down

Let me call you on my land line oh
We’ll be talking till you feel right oh
Let me call you on the land line slow
Just you and me
Talking on my landline
freedom on a landline
Track the letter that I wrote to the post office
on the stamp you’ll find the kiss that I laid on it
Wrote every word like a tear jerking effigy
Read between the lines salt water drip it on me
I not the only one
With purple flavor applesauce
Die pushing going pay for it all at once
If I’m the only one barking up the right tree

Let me call you on my land line oh

Let me call you on the land line slow
Just you and me
Talking on my landline

Digging up the dirt like Indiana Dr. Jones
breathing hard getting freaky with the dial tone
Twist the cord round my finger till I can’t see
1100 hz is my real time frequency.
Damn hooker you look right to me
From the posterboard to the l.E.D.
Sign my up AT&T

We’ll be talking till you feel right oh
Let me call you on the land line slow
Just you and me
Talking on my landline

You in my eyes and my chest like a heart donor
Blood fizzles bubbles up now it’s spilling over
Say hi trouble sauce you a dead ringer
Dial up you dirty little digits with my middle finger
Aisle 9 clean up no you don’t stop
I fond I’m pushing all the QTs with my wrist watch.
You and me we getting hot by the A.C.

Well I was working by your side almost every night
Sometimes you’re wrong but mostly you are right
And if I were ever lost and could not see
You’d be there and you’d take care of me
Oh if I could only hold a tune,
It would be you to make it true
Oh I can barely sing a note
Because of you I’m on the radio
And we can both agree,
You’re a better man than me
If I could only learn just how to shut my mouth
And I’m walking away with Samantha Freed
And I’m walking away from this nonsense
Please send my regards,
To the rooster and his drum
You’re the one,
Samantha Freed
In 1993 I was the king
I was crowned in a parade and homecoming
But when I got here I was second to the best
You’re the king of rock and roll I must confess
Oh if I wasn’t such a jerk
You and me could make it work
I would write up a turn of phrase
And you could make it sound so great
Oh I felt it from the start
Things were bound to fall apart
You see you can’t have two kings prosiding on the stage
And I’m walking away with Samantha Freed
And I’m walking away from this nonsense
Please send my regards,
To the rooster and his drum
You’re the one,
Samantha Freed
I realized the line that I had to draw
And I could see the writing on the wall
You see the same thing happened in 2010
In 2014 it’s happening again.
But this time we really lost our heads.
The lawyers were sleeping in my bed
I can’t believe the paperwork
If I hadn’t acted so absurd
And we can both agree
You’re a better man than me
If I could only learn just how to close my mouth
And I’m walking away with Samantha Freed
And I’m walking away from this nonsense
Please send my regards,
To the rooster and his drum
You’re the one,
Samantha Freed

Riddle Me Rotten

Riddle me rotten
Riddle me understood
Riddle me creature
I’ve been up to no good
You’ve got to hold onto something
Creature won’t you hold onto me?
Well you’ve been acting so strange
Creature you’ve been fixing to leave
I love your fruity pebbles
Let me lay down some cream
Oh won’t you come and visit
Oh won’t you visit me
You know exactly what I’m talking ‘bout
My door is open wide
Oh won’t you take off your shoes
And walk your fruity pebbles inside
We’ve been right before
we’ve been wrong before
We’ve been friends for life
And you’ll never change
We both misunderstood our love
We’ve been around, around the block.
But the question is will you
Will you stay?
The preacher says I doesn’t but the butcher says I do
The cobbler he’s been flirting get your own pair of shoes
if his needle don’t get you
it’s likely that his glue gun will
He’s got his eyes on the prize
Roll up your sleeves
Go in for the kill
We’ve been right before
we’ve been wrong before
We’ve been friends for life
And you’ll never change
We both misunderstood our love
We’ve been around, around the block.
But the question is will you
Will you stay?
Fee fee fi fi fo fo fum
Pull up a chair and baby spit out your gum
We both understand the consequence
And what it will take
You see your daddy he’s good looking and
Your momma from the USA
You see your daddy he’s good looking and
Your momma from the USA

Make your way
For the tea house
Is full of confessions
Liar liar
Your face is on fire
She knows you’re the fool
She sees double
Your body’s on her doorstep
But promises were nothing short of cruel
First Madrid
Then to Rome
I’ve million
Books at home
But I’d rather catch
A train to your doorstep
It’s too cute
You are here
Just too late
To endear
A response
From my heart
All my girlfriend will kill you
I’ve a black belt
I know
Just one second more
I’ll show
All the ways I could change
Please don’t hesitate to call
That I will
But it seems
I have plans
You have dreams
And delusions of a past
Locked away (x2)
Liar liar
Your face is on fire
She knows you’re the fool
She sees double
Your body’s on her doorstep
But promises were nothing short of cruel

These are the good days
And the boys will have their fun
The greatest of mistakes
Was when we lost one
For If these are the good days
And the boys are headstrong
The silence is insane
For he was the real one
He’s wasted our time
Turn the silence over
The water in your eyes
They turn into the tear drops on your head
The consequences insane
And he cannot repeat your name
The consequences insane
And he cannot repeat your name
Spitfire from the heavy metal
Spitfire from the heavy metal
Spitfire from the heavy metal
Children with arrows
They shot the dreamer on the back
The villain from the red road
He sings a song of longing glad
And I implore the law the free
The awe, the wonder
Blind to silence one and all
I implore the law, the free
The awe, the wonder
Blind to silence one and all
One and all
Spitfire from the heavy metal
Spitfire from the heavy metal

These are the good days
And the strangers all have names
Your garden is so safe
And yet the neighbors all complain
But we’ll stay the while
And we’ll stay the day
And we’ll stay the while Oh
And we’ll stay the day
And we’ll stay

I can’t stand standing next to you
I can’t conceive you could even consider.
Now what am I supposed to do
My heart wants to stay but I can not be with her
Sometimes we laugh and sometimes go
I’d ride the lightning but the lightning’s too slow.
Or could it be we were born this way
A flash in the pan I wonder if you’ll sta
Chorus
Sticks and stones will break your bones
But friends will not desert you
Sticks and stones will break your bones
But friends will never ever desert you
In the winter winds we have been trapped all along
Have you ever wondered why it taken so long!
Even steven take your time
Take off you jacket your a friend of mine.
Bridge
Though our thoughts may change
The heart inside remains
And in our dreams awake
The stars align and fade
I quit the Holy Ghost for something else.
I put the Bible back onto the shelf.
I learned a lesson but I lost my notes
I close my eyes for the Holy Ghost.
Friends they come
Friends they go
Friends they come
Friends they go
Friends they come
But they never ever let you go
Chorus
Sticks, sticks and stones
Sticks and stones, sticks and stones x 2

Dangerous Boy
02:55

But you could win awards they say
A lot of golf and a little croquet
But then the beast, it owned you
A poor boy with ribbons and noone
And like a champion you walked away.
And like a three-legged dog let go
You lost a leg now you’re looking for a bone
But then the poor kid had to leave
His home in Troy/Schenectady
If need another minute
here’s a quarter for a public phone
He’s a dangerous boy
He’s been living in your own backyard
He’s a dangerous boy
He’s been living and the living is hard,
The living is hard,
The living is hard.
And the beats of the beast don’t change
You drive a taxi and you make your way
Not another minute left they told you
And not another penny left they owed you
A poor boy with many problems walked away
Should I go or should I stay
A lot of coke and a little cocain
But father had a difference in his head
Inherit what stroked him and play dead
An old key aint enough to bring you home
He’s a dangerous boy
It’s getting dark, too dard to see
He’s a dangerous boy
It could be you, it could be me
Oh it could be me
