Gypsy jewel girl singer in the band Spitting fire howling wolf at your command Rolling eyes in her diamond dusky glow, Can I taste your smoky notes Breathe your soul into my breaking brain, Can your radiance at all be tamed Rendering useless time's age and whispers of war The future here must have happened once before Raven nymph you cast your spell upon me Your velvet shell keeps me always at sea Ink soaked skin posts the barb wire dream Have your lips touched the wicked west streams The broken troubadour quakes and cries Writing poems to her endless Asian eyes Keep steady for your cup I will fill For my heart holds the rage of love that will spill Gypsy jewel girl now woman of my dreams Tell me what your cream skin riddle means Your sleep has said I was the one to be But am I worth exactly what you see? Breathe your soul into my breaking brain Can your radiance at all be tamed Your mindless memory still had kept score The future here must have happened once before

Sweet Cindy 04:24
Vietnam Cindy is a mental case A drag strip mama with an angel whore face I lap it all up, I’m a complete disgrace I dig that she’s a mental case Spider web claws all across her back Mouth like an outhouse and the whip she'll crack To keep a dude in line his face you have to smack That’s cause she’s a mental case Oh Oh send for the cops if I don't come back Oh Oh I’d like to say I hate it but I like it like that She’ll squeeze my soul out of her eyes Then choke me out in between her thighs I’ll come up for air, she’s still pissed I’ll surmise That's cause she is a mental case. She's popped out two kids from two different dudes The bed time stories reek of snuff and booze She’ll says she's getting straight but that’s a complete ruse That’s cause she is a mental case I’d love to kick her out but I’m a glutton for pain Drunken lurid fights oh she has no shame Public screaming matches for her I'm made That’s cause I am a mental case Oh Oh Oh Oh send for the cops if I don't come back Oh Oh Oh Oh I'd like to say I hate it but I like it like that Oh what a pair we’re gonna make As we sneak to get it on inside the looney bin gates White robes electrodes strategically placed That’s because we are both a mental case Oh, Oh, Oh Oh, I'm now in a jacket they call strait Oh oh, oh oh, visiting hours are from 6 to 8

Sacred cries from love laced lies scream out through the sinners dance Wounded worlds come with pearls thinking they all have a chance To be crowned by the one’s who equal the sums of their lust Where true love's a feeling that no one can trust In the eyes of a harlot swaying in scarlet the kind are known as the weak Her objects are laid her premiums paid with the price of desires deep As she feasts of the ones who come undone with a smile Where company’s bought with the words that spill out to her ear, saying Dance with me Charlie dance for me Charlie I‘ll believe in your lies of love Don’t take my loneliness far from me it’s the only company that I have Pretend that I’m real and I’ll let you steal me away Crimson stains from blood drenched tears carve canyons down his face Forming masks of dead end friends disappearing with out a trace To call on tomorrow to beg steal or borrow a glimpse Into the eyes if a one you don’t have to pay to stay Peddling plans to unholy hands which still live holier than you Lust is a force followed quick by remorse which leave voids with out clues For the part time bluesers and full time losers to use To find the lines that emptiness hides to say Dance with me Charlie dance for me Charlie I’ll believe in your lies of love Don't take my loneliness far from me its only company that I have Pretend that I'm real and you'll let me steal you away Now you search the wrong place for all the right things And it tolls to tell what the sirens sing Youth and beauty are bagged and sold And lies are told to keep hold of your soul Powers are drawn from the fair skinned fawn who rides a bent ragged mile Callouses compiled to hide the fragile child who weeps behind smiles As reality’s wars pimp you out as whores To the dreams that will not come true Etiquette games from the blowhard strains keep promises with out truth Rip chord wishes sift through souls in stitches to prime the power of youth Defenses fail and the helpless flail to repent As the angels move on then are gone like the money you spent Still you say Dance with me Charlie dance for me Charlie I’ll believe in your lies of love Don’t take my loneliness far from me it’s the only company that I have Pretend that I'm real and you'l let me steal you away Dance with me Charlie dance for me Charlie I’ll believe in your lies of love Don’t take my loneliness far from me it’s the only company that I have Pretend that I'm real and you'll let me steal you away

Meet me today back in tomorrow’s violence And I’ll understand what the eyes of the gypsy has said To plan for a war that has happened yet again before So I’ll sterilize my eyes to remember nothing Take the young’s chances to answer the new world order In which no faith I have to promise that shall ever end So take my hand as we rage into the darkness To re-live what love we thought we never had Somewhere someone is singing The psalms of freedom we have never heard before Eating the rich to feed the poor Tossed in sick silence and gore To go on bleeding the psalms of freedom You’re taking my children to upstage the ruthless For dictators start with a heart that has never been born The devil hides in the diamond eyes of the privileged For they hate what they don’t understand or have never lived Somewhere someone is singing The psalms of freedom we have never heard before Eating the rich to feed the poor Tossed in sick silence and gore To go on bleeding the psalms of freedom The time has now come to take up arms for the helpless With knowledge resistance defiance to the masters of war For today they choke the truth under the guise of protection Tomorrow your freedom at best has been put into question Somewhere someone is singing The psalms of freedom we have never heard before Eating the rich to feed the poor tossed in sick silence and gore To go on bleeding the psalms of freedom

45 Song 04:04
Now the soldiers are saints and the saints are sinners Cause beginners aren’t aware of what hate can do They’ve taken your name and given you a number Now the blunders on the mother who gave birth to you Prides in the colors of the heavens of war Cause blood dollar dimes aren’t gonna make themselves So we’ll praise the lord and pass the ammunition It’s in the name of freedom so it can’t be wrong Praise the lord and pass the ammunition And we'll all march to a dead man’s song Die for the red tie the orange faced wretch Ticks the time to when he’ll blow us all to kingdom come Your shackled sense of dead man for the future Would be really funny if it weren’t so true The bag man’s coming trade your witness for a martyr The payment on your mortgage for death is due While we sing praise the lord and pass the ammunition It’s in the name of freedom so it can’t be wrong Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition And we'll all dance to a dead man’s song The sociopath laughs to the rhythm of ineptitude Let’s impeach 'em up to gag the press on the truth There’s nothing like a war to distract us from the reason And the treason of the intellect defective rube Capital crooks cook the books for the sadists Who buy up the promise and the sale on souls You’ll keep the door locked and the finger on the trigger Cause you can’t really love that which you can fear Keep ‘em in line to the ticking of the time bomb Fear is the power that the blood lusts crave To sing praise the lord pass the ammunition It’s in the name of freedom so it can’t be wrong Praise the Lord and pass the ammunition Its in the name of freedom so it can't be wrong

Noche Cuervo 06:02
Oh the midnight cape of raven hair whips across her face Her hips do move, swivel then swoon as the rhythm takes its pace Her charcoal eyes roll and hide with the motion of the night Men’s mouths agape her they all intake Somewhere between love and hate. Sins begin with her bronze skin exposed Mocking the indecency proposed Oh Oh, Angela they’d all like to spend the night with you Oh Oh, Angela let yourself be worth more than they do The night pays in spades for the endless days of neglect instead of love Her thighs appease the aching needs that reflect the ancient tease Her body heaves with fluttered ease with each intake of a breath The vows do fade the promises cave ‘til there’s nothing of them left Golden rings are tarnished with a stare A diamond rose is nothing you can share Oh, Oh Angela your serpent stare protects the little girl within Oh, Oh Angela, without the woman there would be no sin We all want something that we can never have And it comes in forms of blackbirds blazing fire Wailing with unquenchable desire The words are numb bleached and dumb there’s nothing new to say To have a coveted beauty there’s always a steep price to pay While all the eyes undress you to the tune of fantasy The world they’ve built is stripped of guilt for their open eyes cannot see Your Spanish style has led me to a dream To where you look the same way at me Oh, Oh Angela does your faithless beauty tell me you are kind Oh, Oh Angela looking past leaves me afraid at what I might find Oh, Oh Angela tell me whom your taking home tonight

Skin N Bone 04:44
Hello skin and bone welcome back to the rage of obsession Where the clouds in my head boil and burst upon a point of contention The poison comes in forms of a woman I could not have resisted Playing martyr to a cause that never really existed As the prayers with precious meaning Bounce useless off the ceiling When you're hurled into choking down the LA blues Now the touch is a crutch to avoid a certain sense of disaster The guts that are wrenched are entrenched in the mold of the master Harrowed ringing trails of a tail that's never ending Its the pleasant potion mirage you now are befriending Loneliness is a friend so kind Cause it'l never leave your side When you're coaxed into sucking down the LA blues The beast that is black has you shackled to the rack of despondence There's no reply from the acts that are cracked and filled with repentance You're steeped in the tar that's not far from the asylum's admittance As the gavel pounds to sound your given life sentence Love it may be good But it sure as hell ain't fair As your joys drip down the dome of depression blues

Stacks of masks coat the bar charade The jig is up the friends have been made And the high roller's sought and paid for his woman tonight Wannabe ballers drink to one night stands As the holy horny women slip through their hands And the excuses they brand keep hide the broken pride from their sight The city’s so much better at night The dreams are still alive there ain't no traffic to fight I guess the starburst babies are born from the nights of today While the half mast pioneers sit and stare At the riot rock rollers with whom they’d like to share The invisible women who’ve never given them the time of day Party people snake in a line Skirts so short there’s no place the sun don’t shine its good to glam you gams for the meeting of the minds She sleeps with many and they’ll call her a slut He’ll sleep with even more and they’ll call him a stud For the rules are made by the ones who’ve always had it their way The city’s so much better at night The dreams are still alive there ain't no traffic to fight I guess the starburst babies are born from the nights of today While the half mast pioneers sit and stare At the riot rock rollers with whom they’d like to share The invisible women who’ve never given them the time of day The barmaid doles you out another round And the one you really want is not to be found The pulse pounding music and the lights do fade Along with the chances with her that have slipped away The stuffy stiff bankers from out of town Sip their pricey drinks worth more than the gowns Of the house bound expensive wives they never had time for Trouble is they had time for their mistress Some bangin’ bod who does time as a stewardess Who happens to remind him to forget about sacred vows The city's so much better at night The dreams are still alive there ain't no traffic to fight I guess the starburst babies are born from the nights of today While the half mast pioneers sit and stare At the riot rock rollers with whom they’d like to share The invisible women who’ve never given them the time of day The night speaks the silence and the time has come To break bread alone and for sins to atone For the one you always have to wake up with is yourself In the blackened bar full of guts and stones Roam remains of lovers that we once called our own That hide in the silk socking shadows until they’re summoned again The city’s so much better at night The dreams are still alive there ain't no traffic to fight I guess the starburst babies are born from the nights of today While the half mast pioneers sit and stare At the riot rock rollers with whom they’d like to share The invisible women who’ve never given them the time of day.
