Hound Dog Man
04:26

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

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

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
|
|||
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

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
|
|||
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

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
|

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
|

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
