Burning The Tracks
03:46
|
|||
Something about it seems so meant to be
Something about it's so twenty-first century
Waiting in line for the time when a spark will show
The night in my blood will take control
We go burning into the night
Never did it feel so right
Couldn't slow down now if we wanted to
Burning down the same tracks we're gonna collide, we go
Burning down the same tracks we're gonna collide
Burning down the same tracks we're gonna collide
We're gonna collide
Picking up speed headlong into the night
When out of the darkness comes the guiding light
Burning down the same tracks I'm heading straight for you
Down the same tracks you been burning too
We go burning into the night
Never did it feel so right
Couldn't slow down now if we wanted to
Burning down the same tracks we're gonna collide, we go
Burning down the same tracks we're gonna collide
Burning down the same tracks we're gonna collide
We're gonna collide
Burning down the tracks cause you know I want you
Burning down the same tracks you know I need you
Burning down the same tracks going straight into the night
Burning down the tracks, Burning down the tracks
Burning down the tracks, Burning down the tracks
Burning down the same tracks we're gonna collide, we go
Burning down the same tracks we're gonna collide
Burning down the same tracks we're gonna collide
We're gonna collide

Triggerfinger
03:32
|

When the gunfight comes to town
You know me I’ll be around and around
I’m saying nothing but I’m watching every move
When it comes the time to play I’m gonna play the cards I choose
I’m gonna take what’s mine
Gonna see you down the line
Some other guy has got a diamond up his sleeve
My honest cards were not enough and so I watch you leave
The evening sun goes down and then I hit the road
I guess it’s true, that he aint got the stuff, for carrying that load
I’m gonna take what’s mine
Gonna see you down the line
My triggers fast, my bullets cold
If there’s a faster gun he’s still one that I don’t know
I wait my chance because it’s not my day to lose
My triggerfinger’s swelling up, and measuring the groove
Further up the road I see you waiting by the side
His trick was not enough and it comes as no surprise
Ten paces are about, as close as he would get
Before my trigger finger puts a bullet in his chest, about time
’cause I’m gonna take what’s mine
Gonna see you down the line
My triggers fast, my bullets cold
If there’s a faster gun he’s still one that I don’t know
I wait my chance because it’s not my day to lose
My triggerfinger’s swelling up, and measuring the groove

We Were The Ones
03:27
|
|||
So tell me again, what it is
In your eyes that I see now when I look at you
That I know we’ll make it through
We don’t know, what it takes
But we learn from our mistakes and we’ll try again
And again to be so good
We were the ones who tried to make it
When we didn’t have the choice, we’d strike a deal
Not to be in denial, like a puppet on a string
We had a way of surviving anything
We were the ones
We were the ones
We met outside of the place
Where we’d go at night to hide our own disgrace
And that’s where I saw you
You said I don’t think a lot
Of anyone who tries to tell me what they got
It’s all the same to me
Lying trying much to hard to please
It’s a waste of life and it don’t make you free
We were the ones who tried to make it
When we didn’t have the choice, we’d strike a deal
Not to be in denial, like a puppet on a string
We had a way of surviving anything
We were the ones
We were the ones

Silent Picture Show
03:48
|
|||
Out in the street tonight, we walk
Cool and undecided, tranquil and free
I try not to let it show but my eyes
Display a gentle hurting, what can that be
High above the city lights we don’t talk
About anything at all
I wanna tell you what I think you know
But you turn away, the last reminder falls
The truth is such a struggle
And in my mind there really aint no other
But we’re living in a silent picture show
I watch the light drift on your face
I’m lost inside a glow that I cannot replace
So long have we rehearsed this scene
You stop to take a picture, my eyes deny me
Fate plays the leading role and I don’t
Expect to see you now
Wanna tell you what I think you know
But you turn away, the last reminder falls
The truth is such a struggle, and in my mind
There really aint no other
But we’re living in a silent picture show
We’re just living a silent picture show

Shoulda Said Something
03:25
|
|||
Still remember the night when you said
You found someone who's true
You dedicated so many songs to him
He wouldn't dedicate to you
Well you can do anything you want
But please don't tell me that it's fine
You gotta shoot first or don't shoot at all
Cause now is not the time
You shoulda said something, no denying the truth
You shoulda said something, what a lie he sold to you
There's no smile on your face
I'm watching something so good go to waste
You shoulda said something, you shoulda said something
You shoulda said
He got his own band but you don't understand
That that don't make him good
This song will never be Mozart
It's just three chords and the truth
Well you can do anything you want
But please don't hang me out to dry
You gotta shoot first or don't shoot at all
Cause now is not the time
You shoulda said something, no denying the truth
You shoulda said something, what a lie he sold to you
There's no smile on your face
I watch it sinking so low now, without a trace
You shoulda said something, you shoulda said something
You shoulda said
You shoulda said something
No denying the truth
You Shoulda Said Something

Nobody Wants To Know
03:15
|
|||
You don’t wanna find, there’s something going on
And you ain’t on the inside
You try so hard to get yourself in
But the game you’re playing, it is fixed til the end
You try so hard still nobody wants to know
Trouble is a place and this is where it’s gonna show
You try so hard still nobody wants to know
You try so hard still nobody wants to know
You don’t wanna find
All that you been sold is just a lie
What you gonna do when you find that all along
You been tricked those dirty days aint gone
You try so hard still nobody wants to know
Trouble is a place and this is where it’s gonna show
You try so hard still nobody wants to know
You try so hard still nobody wants to know

Song of Lust
03:26
|
|||
The nights are starting to mix with the days
The world is turning but it seems just like I just don’t relate
Whatever happened to that?
Sometimes I feel like I’ve been broken in two
How come the pieces seem to live and die and breathe for you?
Whatever difference that makes…
I’m trying hard to understand this change
I wanna sing this song a different kind of way, but I know
No matter what I do, this song of lust is for you
Night after night it seems I’m losing my mind
Out in the street we meet and still it seems so new every time
But am I losing my mind?
Sometimes I feel as though I’m shifting on sand
I thought I made my mind, but then I find it’s true that I can’t
It’s been a long long time
I’m trying hard to understand this change
I wanna sing this song a different kind of way, but I know
No matter what I do, this song of lust is for you
I’m trying hard to understand this change
I wanna sing this song a different kind of way, but I know
No matter what I do
No matter what I do
No matter what I do, this song of lust is for you

Someone's Love on Drugs
03:38
|
|||
People asking question's but they don't have the time
To hear that something good is on the line
Right place, wrong time, take a good look around
Tonight there aint no justice to be found
The place you're in don't tell no lies
It aint cheap but the smoke gets in your eyes
It wasn't long ago we used to spend the nights
Sharing songs about this life
Someone's love on drugs by candle light
Everyone is saying things are gonna be alright
I know it's been two years and things are going fine
But please don't think that you don't cross my mind
You're gonna say it to me one more time
But I don't even think that I can feel surprised
Its not the problem that you don't call
But tonight you aint making any sense at all
You say it's perfect but it's suicide
Those things don't seem to ever cross my mind
Well maybe linger, maybe fade into the light
But this aint a case of wrong or right
Someone's love on drugs by candle light
Everyone is saying things are gonna be alright
I know it's been two years and things are going fine
But please don't think that you don't cross my mind
Someone's love on drugs by candle light
Everyone is saying things are gonna be alright
I know it's been two years and things are going fine
But please don't think that you don't cross my mind

Letter From Abroad
03:17
|
|||
Moving along, the banks are so cold and it’s true
There’s a far away note, from a far away song, and it’s you
Wanna tell you how my luck has run dry
Wanna tell you how I’m losing my mind, it’s over you
Through the nightly drone, I’m counting all the days going by
I hope you’re doing well, and my stories from the road still make you smile
Please don’t tell me I been wasting all my time
Through these backroads, and the coldest of nights
For something good
My letter from abroad, sits so proudly my coat as I arrive
With every single word, of every single line that I memorised
I can’t hear through people shuffling around
I see your face, as you’re walking through the crowd
It’s coming true
