Lyrics: Stranded in this spooky town
Stoplights are swaying and the phone lines are down
This floor is crackling cold
She took my heart, I think she took my soul
With the moon I run
Far from the carnage of the fiery sun
Driven by the strangled vein
Showing no mercy I do it again
Open up your eye
You keep on crying, baby
I’ll bleed you dry
The skies are blinking at me
I see a storm bubbling up from the sea
And it's coming closer
And it's coming closer
You, shimmy shook my bone
Leaving me stranded all in love on my own
What do you think of me
Where am I now? Baby where do I sleep
Feel so good but I'm old,
2000 years of chasing taking its toll
And it’s coming closer
2. Crawl

Lyrics: You fall, my pride,
Don't ever need t'apologize,
As your lips unfold,
Shakin' purple from the cold
You better learn to crawl,
You better learn to crawl,
Before I walk away,
Before I walk away
You broke, my mouth,
The bloody bits are spittin' out
Your grave, unscathed,
The worm is countin' down the day
He wants to see you crawl,
He wants to see you crawl,
Before I walk away,
Before I walk away
The reds and the whites and abused,
The crucified USA,
I said the prophecy unfolds,
All hell is surely on its way
Cuz the rat and the fly,
They're searchin' for an alibi,
As we wait the wrath,
They never went to Sunday mass
They want to see us crawl,
They want to see us crawl,
Before they walk away,
Before they walk away
The reds and the whites and abused,
The crucified USA,
I said the prophecy unfolds,
All hell is surely on its way
3. Sex On Fire
Note: Top 3 in my favorites... probably number 1 for me.

Lyrics: Lay where you're laying
Don't make a sound
I know they're watching
they're watching
all the commontion
the Kiddie like play
has people talking
You
Your sex is on fire
The dark of the alley
The break of the day
Ahead while I'm driving
I'm driving
Soft lips are open
Them knuckles are pale
Feels like you're dying
You're dying
You
Your sex is on fire
And so
Were the words to transpire
Hot as a fever
Rattling bones
I could just taste it
Taste it
But it's not forever
But it's just tonight
Oh we're still the greatest
The greatest
The greatest
You
Your sex is on fire
You
Your sex is on fire
And so
Were the words to transpire
And You
Your sex is on fire
And so
Were the words to transpire
4. Use Somebody

Lyrics: I've been roaming around always lookin down at all I see.
Painted faces fill the places I can't reach.
You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody
Someone like you
And all you know and how you speak
Countless lovers undercover of the street
You know that I could use somebody
You know that I could use somebody
Someone like you
Off in the night while you live it up I'm off to sleep
Waging wars to shake the poet and the beat
I hope it's gonna make you notice
I hope it's gonna make you notice
Someone like me
Someone like me
Someone like me
Somebody
(Go and let it out)
Someone like you
Somebody
Someone like you
Somebody
Someone like you
Somebody
I've been roaming around always lookin down at all I see
5. Manhattan
Lyrics: Well
I could dance all night
And some of the day
That's how I play
That's how I play
I say who are you
No matter who you are
So you dance all night
And you dance all day
I say
I say
Gonna build a fire
Gonna smoke it up
Gonna sip this wine
And pass the cup
These avenues and
these reseviors
We gonna show this town
How to kiss these stars
I say
I say
You've come to kill
Gonna spend it high
Your parents grieve
I know they are right
And then talking to you
Well they calm you down
So it's all for you
who let you down
I say
I say
I say
I say
Just wanna take you hand
I'm gonna drive you home
Just gonna keep on
Keep on, keep on
And you gonna have a rest

7. 17
Lyrics: Oh she's only seventeen
Whine whine whine, weep over everything
Bloody Mary breakfast busting up the street
Brothers fighting, when's the baby gonna sleep
Heaving ship too sails away
Said it's a culmination of a story and a goodbye session
It's a tick of our time and the tic in her head that made me feel so strange
So I could call you baby, I could call you, dammit, it's a one in a million
Oh it's the rolling of your Spanish tongue that made me wanna stay
Oh she's only seventeen
Whine whine whine, weep over everything
Bloody Mary breakfast busting up the street
Brothers fighting, when's the baby gonna sleep
Heaving ship too sails away
Said it's a culmination of a story and a goodbye session
It's a tick of our time and the tic in her head that made me feel so strange
Said I could call you baby, I could call you, dammit, it's a one in a million
Oh it's the rolling of her Spanish tongue that made me wanna stay
I could call you baby, I could call you, dammit, it's a one in a million
Oh it's the rolling of your Spanish tongue that made me wanna stay
8. Notion
Lyrics: I got a notion that says it doesn't feel right
got the answer in your story today
you gave me a sign that didn't feel right
so don't knock it, don't knock it, you been here before
so don't knock it, don't knock it, you been here before
i just wanted to know if i could go home
been rambling day after day
everyone says they don't know
so don't knock it, don't knock it, you been there before
so don't knock it, don't knock it, you been there before
i got a notion that says it doesn't feel right
i just wanted to know if i could go home
so don't knock it, don't knock it, you been there before
so don't knock it, don't knock it, you been there before
9. I Want You
Note: Oh yes, a favorite!
Video:
Lyrics: Get back on track, pick me up some bottles of booze
Fickle freshman, probly thinks she's cooler than you
A hay ride at 5, everybodys comin around
So go press you skirt, word is there's a new girl in town...
I call shotgun, you can play your RnB tunes
The fellow?, it always comes a little too soon
The land of the free, freshened up from babyfaced shame
Put your eyes on me, and I know a place that we can't get away...
Just say I want you, just exactly like I used to
Cos baby this is ooooonly bringin me down...
Home-boy's so proud, finally got the video proof
The night vision shows she was only duckin the truth
It's heavy I know, black guy with the gift down below
A choke and a gag, she spit up n came back for more...
She sed I want you, just exactly like I used to
And baby this is ooooonly bringin me down...
She sed I want you
I want you, just exactly like I used to
And baby this is oooonly bringin me down...
I said I want you, just exactly like I used to
And baby this is oooonly bringin me down
10. Be Somebody
Note: Another favorite.

Lyrics: Taken to the floor
with the reach to the sky
i loosen my tie
i loosen my tie
locking down the door
with the rhythm and rhyme
i loosen my tie
i loosen my tie
trying to recall
what you want me to say
i shake it your way
i shake it your way
counting on the night
for a beautiful day
i shake it your way
i shake it your way
and i say,
you can't get enough
now you can't get enough
given a chance
i wanna be somebody
if for one dance
i wanna be somebody
open the door
it's gonna make you love me
facing the door
i wanna be somebody
now it's your time
and you know where you stand
with a gun in your hand
with a gun in your hand
now i'm no longer an ordinary man
was this your big plan,
your gun in your hand?
and i say,
you can't get enough
now you can't get enough
given a chance
i wanna be somebody
if for one dance
i wanna be somebody
open the door
it's gonna make you love me
facing the door
i wanna be somebody
be somebody
be somebody
11. Cold Desert
Lyrics: I'm on the corner waiting for a light to come on
that's when i know that you're alone
it's cold in the desert water never sees the ground
special ones walk on without sound
told me you love me, that i'd never die alone
hand over your heart let's go on
everyone knowed it everyone has seen the signs
i've always been known to cross lines
i never ever cried when i was feeling down
ive always been scared of the sound
jesus don't love me no-one ever carried my load
im too young to feel this old
nobody knows
nobody sees
nobody but me
