Burn It Up 02:57
When I was young the devil used to bounce me on his knee whisper in my ear he got a special job for me I got to burn it up mama your moving much too slow burn it up if you don't know I'm gonna let you know burn it up so why are you trying to break my heart ten years old still soft in the bones and dancing to the radio I got weak in the knees, said lord please, you're gonna have to let me go all your crying won't do no good the water can't put me out I'm a live wire, forest fire this ain't nothing but a trickle from a water spout the doctor knew and the preacher too that the boy just can't be saved nothing anyone can do just gonna have to let him misbehave

Hell to Pay 03:26
the sun is shining I got a piece of the pie once I was dying and I didn't know why but I held you closer than my mother held me you showed me nothing you did not want me to see But I will get it all squared away still got a little hell to pay but not that much I go out in the evening drink 'till I sleep wake up to coffee and a girl that don't speak I started a fire I can't put out I'm still learning what it's all about we can tie one on just don't tie me down you can tie me up if you wanna mess around if you want my love I won't put you on but I can get you off I said I wanna do some drugs with you hear all your lies I wanna kiss you like I'm committing a crime and I want to own you let you own me I wanna hurt ya and heal ya with my sexuality

White Cotton 05:59
It's fading from my memory like a book I had read when I was thirteen where all of those lines just get twisted until I'm turning them into dreams I've never slept with but all the pills laid me down 'till I was off to fumble around in the factory I would just bullshit with Ottinger he would cut the filters from my basic cigarettes I was reaching towards the infinite found a bottle instead and said well just fuckin' forget it well my heart fell from my sleeve and blood always stains like rust on white cotton there's no noise unless I make it this house is as empty as the glass I just put my shot in So put a bullet into my head I'm a bastard and a bum and whatever else it was you said we were doomed right from the start just as a drunk will break a promise little girl I would break your heart you sure had a way with your words you could chit chat about a bunch of shit that just didn't even matter my head grew as heavy as the stone struck by moses' staff now won't you leave me alone

Eighteen 04:11
I was 18 and waiting 'round for something to break and when it did I cried I'm just a kid but I was not then nor have I ever been so take me back to the moment when it all went bad and I will try to fix it show me love I am worth it I give my love even when I'm hurting I'll say ankle I will say knuckle but I'll never say uncle I had the moon in my eyes slicked back my hair said my goodbyes as if I didn't care tucked my shirt into the front of my chinos and headed towards the door she was full of light lying on the floor had her heart broken nothing I ain't seen before I went handing out wolf tickets on the corner in the pouring rain but now there ain't a day that I don't feel the pain I just miss you and I want you in my arms again when you're 18 and waiting 'round for something to break it always will
5.
I dropped you behind my bed and went to sleep for a million years you screamed your way into my dreams and your lips have never been so wet I never heard you talk so loud I can't remember if I ever heard you talk at all But I know exactly what you're saying when you're saying nothing at all you hated me all spring and I drank until not you nor anything was but a ringing down in the core of me it was wicked the way I would think of you if I told you about it you would like it because you're fucked up too and I know myself too well and you know me well enough to know you could track me without the snow and my scarf would unravel itself for you and I'm losing it and I'm burning up when I should've been so damn cool
6.
you hold a gun to my heart with your lips like shattered glass spilling whiskey and your eyes like shattered glass shining in the street light I've been dancing with the devil so long christ you think you would miss me Oh but I ain't going down all alone unless you think you can whip me I'm lifeless as a leafless limb hanging off of a dead tree but my nerves are all screaming angels, could kill a scarecrow I can't see a way out of it this time give all of yourself up to me

I Am the Law 04:05
I want to be like Elvis want to pop a lot of pills cuz if you mix the medicine just right it is worth a thousand thrills and I could do this thing all night and never get tired so just move your body with mine and I'm gonna have you just as wired don't try to lock me up don't bother taking me in I'm standing 10 feet tall tonight I am the law gonna get a little wrong to make a lot of right hands up against the wall tonight I am the law I want to be like Jimmy Dean running round on the movie screen red jacket and a pair of jeans messing up all the prom queens you're cool as a hospital bed but dangerous as a cold and you keep playing the victim tell me honey ain't it getting old my hearts already broken I'm sure you've heard it all before but if I could love you better now just would not love you anymore I want to eat a spider web fake my own death create a dance called the turkey claiming that it's all in the neck time's just a magazine ain't even nothing I want to read you're more like a dying star on the sea a mental scar is a memory and if I could talk to you right now I would not have that much to say but if I could talk to you later on still would not have that much to say

Say 03:23
I got time on my hands no love from my friends I'm one heartbeat away from causing a scene saying what I shouldn't say so call my bluff I'm coming to get you I know you're over-playing I read a dead man's hand I'm just patiently waiting biding my time saying what I shouldn't say I got time on my hands I've been faking amends I forgive, never forget I remember what you done to me I remember what you said
9.
Paper Dolls 05:00
you were always running like stolen money from a bank guess I had it coming you should crawl on your belly like a snake oh but when you leave I come apart daisy chained by the hand and the heart paper dolls is all we are paper dolls apples and gifts of honey we would never be the same you could light a candle start a fire without a flame absence makes the heart grow darker
