Hound Dog Man 04:26
lyrics
buy track
There was a tear in my eye but it dried I said goodbye but I lied Hear me howling like a wolf - like a wolf inside of the night Hound dog dreams they don't ever turn out right They told me to leave town but I'm still around So I make sure I'm never found My hound dog heart it's beating without no sound I bury all my hound dog bones deep underground I’m a hound dog - I’m a hound dog man I’m coming for you as fast as I can I’m a hound dog - I’m a hound dog man And I’m coming for you as fast as I can I walk by rivers and I drink from lakes I watch and I wait until I get my breaks And I’m always - I'm always on the take I still got fifteen million dollars to make Ice turning black there's no turning back on this highway This ain't no place for a cry baby Fate is a gambler - he can deal you a bad hand You always got to have an alternative plan I’m stepping off a plane in your neighbourhood I can make my way through the darkest wood Now I’m on a ship and the stars look good I’ve got your scent - I can smell your blood 'Cos I’m a hound dog - I’m a hound dog man I’m coming for you just as fast as I can I’m a hound dog - I’m a hound dog man I’m coming for you as fast I’m coming for you as fast I’m coming for you as fast as I ever can

Highway 04:01
lyrics

Use your last heartbeat chasing your first dream Don’t let it go it won’t chase you What did they do to the world you knew? Time’s a thief that much is true Dream old guitars that cry and sing Dream movie stars in their high heels Dream visions that life can bring Time’s a thief and dreams are what it steals Scatter me on a highway Let the trucks take me away But turn around and I'll be there In your dreams and in your nightmare Second glances in rear view mirrors And the missed chances of history Circumstances will change your character No defences to time’s robbery Scatter me on an ocean green Dark and deep like my sleep But I don't sleep with no fishes Life is sweet and it's delicious Come so far we've come to this Teardrops running like... Life's a long and lonely highway And these dreams are your headlights Just a truck into the darkness Driving into the night Scatter me on that highway Let the trucks take me away But turn around and I'll be there In your dreams or in your nightmare Use your last heartbeat chasing your first dream Don’t let it go it won’t chase you Take your last step onto a dance floor Life is sweet and I want more

(The Face That Launch'd A Thousand) Shovels 03:51
lyrics
buy track
Do you believe in a fate? Everything comes to him who waits Chance will bring you all you need Ambition is a form of greed The wind that takes the autumn leaves The tides within the silent sea These things decide your destiny You – you are the one With a childish obsession The future hasn’t happened yet There’s a past you can’t forget Do you know where you want to be? Do you believe what you can see? Or do you see what you believe? Shovels in the hands of the men Making a time machine once again So now it’s dusty where there was dirt The windy city beneath the earth Turkey is out of bounds And all of these secret agents chase you around They all want what you have found The stolen secrets from the ground Like a face from the past and a jewellery cache Is Helen’s necklace and Hector’s mask Fate displays its winning ways at last? Well where can that treasure be? Somewhere down in Adolf’s legacy? But Sophie she looked so fine She was the image of the time Was this the face that launch’d a thousand ships? And caused the earth to move for you? And you to move the earth for it? Archaeology is something new And Homer he laid this trail for you A magic tale of golden days Can seize your mind and change your ways

Prison Ground 03:09
lyrics

I spit on the graveyard wall When I’m walking to town That's where your spirit crawls Under the prison ground Frost sparkles all around Like diamonds in the dark Does it get to six feet down? And does it warm your cold heart? Stars were deep in darkness That you painted on the skies You were the one that drowned us In the pisswater of your lies So bury me with another name In a cloak and with a knife I’m scared that I might meet you again In the afterlife I wore your necklace I wore it with no pride And the devil he never left us He was at your side You poisoned my body You said I was yours to lend You said I was your property When you lent me to your friends The shivers of your dark demands Are still shaking in my hands I’m know you will understand I need another man So bury me with another name In a cloak and with a knife I’m scared that I might meet you again In the afterlife Again, I’ll never be your whore Again, I’ll never be your wife I don't ever want to see you again Not even in the afterlife Not even in the afterlife Not even in the afterlife

Hound Dog Woman 03:39
lyrics

I got a hound dog woman Always on my mind Hound dog woman Takes up all of my time She don’t ever let me out of her sight She don’t ever let me out at night Hound dog woman She's keeping me fed Hound dog woman I’m easily led She is always on my mind But hound dog woman she don’t ever treat me unkind Hound dog woman don’t like me to bark Hound dog woman she don’t like me to bite Hound dog woman she don’t let me in after dark Unless I'm on guard all night She can hear me howling From a hundred miles She can hear me growling If another man smiles Hound dog woman I’m always on her trail Hound dog woman She's wagging my tail She don’t ever let me out after dark Sometimes she takes me walking in the park Hound dog woman don’t like me to growl Hound dog woman she don’t like me to howl Hound dog woman she is waiting at home She knows where I like to bury my bone

This Ring Is A Bullet 03:46
lyrics

All the jewellery you bought me Well I don’t really want it And I don’t even want the money That I get when I pawn it This ring is a bullet And this bracelet is a snake It’s like a snake on my wrist Poison in my veins More poison in my piss This ring is a bullet It put a hole in my heart Don’t you argue don’t you start If I had a trigger then I'd pull it This ring is a bullet Gold is heavy metal And it just drags you down Like a summer flower’s petals Just laying on the ground This ring is a bullet It put a hole in my heart Don’t you argue don’t you start If I had a trigger I'd pull it This ring is a bullet This ring is a bullet

Nothing Outside Of Today Blues 03:17
lyrics
buy track
All time is trapped tonight And we got it all So let's put real life outside Under the stars in the sky They ain’t ever gonna fade They ain’t ever gonna fall And there’s nothing outside of today Nothing at all This life means nothing to me It's just like a movie If they ever want to sue me I don't got nothing to fear. Because the moment that you try That's the moment when you start to die Don’t ask me why 'Cos it’s god’s idea Stars won't ever fade away They won't ever fall There is nothing outside of today Nothing at all Is there a fate that time delays? Well it's too late to change your ways Throw my star into the night sky Teach my soul and spirit to fly The limitation of this life Is in the body and not the mind Stars will never fade away They won't ever fall There is nothing outside of today Nothing at all There is nothing outside of today Nothing at all

Come Running 03:08
lyrics
buy track
What if positivity can't save you? When gravity makes you crawl? What if electricity betrays you? When you got to make your one last call? When you feeling that lonely when you feel that all alone God’s looking for you with a nuclear drone And all your tablets have turned to stone Come running – come running to me Come running right back to me What if your religion is a ball and chain? What if it never ever brings you back again? And what if the next world is just the same? None of your memories remain What if x-rays can see your thought dreams? What if they’re featured in a medical magazine? What if the doctor prescribes you pity? Because you can’t handle eternity So if you're feeling that lonely if you're feeling that all alone God’s looking for you with a nuclear drone And all your tablets have turned to stone Come running – come running to me Come running right back to me When a Sultan casts you into a dungeon When you need an equation you can depend on When you got good reason to join the foreign legion Come running – come running to me Come running right back - come running right back Come running right back to me

The Wolf 04:28

I’m not trying to take advantage I’m just trying to speak your language I would hate to leave it too late We don't need a failure to communicate And I like talking to you I hope you like listening to me too Don't worry about the bulge in my pocket It's only - it’s only my wallet I got a Lamborghini I got a boat in Miami I got a house in Geneva Got a wife but I’d leave her 'Cos I’m The Wolf and you’re Red Riding Hood And ride with me - ride with me and it'll do you some good Well I’m The Wolf you need So surrender to your greed They say that love will make a fool of us all And money turns us all into whores We just want more and more and more... Pretty soon you've got the devil knocking at your door I want a Lamborghini I want a boat in Miami I want a house in Geneva I want a wife so I can leave her 'Cos I’m The Wolf and you’re Red Riding Hood A ride with me - ride with me and it'll do you some good Well I’m The Wolf you need So surrender to your greed Roll it out - roll it all right out Roll it out tonight - roll it out I’ll buy it all - I'll buy it all tonight I got some money sitting here real tight It’s in a roll in my pocket Rolled up - it's rolled up real tight I’ll spend it all - spend it all tonight

Illinois 04:22
lyrics

Synchronicity brought you back to me But then it took you away You disappeared when time turned weird I couldn’t think what to say Some kind of mental void I was destroyed I hope you weren’t annoyed But I’m going to find you again one day And no mistake No hiding place can ever remain Outside of my gaze Going to Illinois I got a bullet to deploy Law breaking woman broke my heart She’s hanging around on the wrong side of town She’s hiding in the dark First we find her And then we remind her That this is just the start We're going to find you again one day And no mistake No hiding place can ever remain Outside of my gaze There's no getting away You’re in the dark matter I can feel your pull And this is never over 'Til my dream skull is full Your space is empty And my time is curved Your fates have sent me My orbit swerved Calling down a curse pick you up in my hearse The traffic's getting worse We’ve been driving round this lowdown town Now it’s nearly sundown I've got my eyes on An event horizon And it's coming my way I’m going to find you again one day No mistake No hiding place can ever remain Outside of my gaze We're surfing in on a gravity wave Get out of the way 'Cos nothing on Earth can get in our way We're coming today Going to Illinois I got a bullet to deploy Law breaking woman broke my heart
