That’s gotta be the slowest middle finger
Ever given in history
The kind of thing you'd expect
From someone in the industry
You rely on reservations
Having chewn through your restraints
You know better not to be
Anybody you ain’t
Hey sister, don't let love get you down
Don't let love have your number
Don't let love know you're around
The worthless guards the worthy
Hearts lie broken in plain sight
They don’t suffer fools here
Do you know anywhere that might?
You can try to get paid in LA
Sell your soul to the company store
But when love comes around
Change the locks on your door
Hey sister, don't let love get you down
Don't let love have your number
Don't let love know you're around
Don't let love you get you down
Get you down
Get you down
Don't let love get you down
Get you down
Get you down

California's Gone
05:02

We left the country on the coast
Among a company of ghosts
This isn't broke yet but it hurts
I couldn't tell you which is worse
California's Gone
Most of the reasonably sane
Don't even live in their own brain
I must admit I am impressed
Most of them I never would have guessed
California's Gone
Maybe it wasn't all a waste
Maybe we'll get another taste
Maybe we've had all we can take
There's earthquake weather on the way
California's....

Forgetting Stone
03:24
|
|||
Like an H-bomb you're awake
And the moment is gone
Ain't it strange
When your first name gets too long
You tie another one on
Trade it in
Look at me, I am real wild seed taking wing

Independence Day
04:26
|
|||
Standing in circles here like the stones
Bringing it all back home
All of the movies you've ever seen
Playing on big screen
Always just a trip away
Independence Day
Take a message to autumn, tell him I'm cool
Tell him to hang on
Waves hit the rocks here, they bury the wounds
All of my sons go down
One by one they slip away
Independence Day
I know one thing that never fails
So the next time you're out on the rails
Driving in circles continents wide
Keeping it all in line
Some of your faces ain't coming back
Maybe you're free at last

Damage
04:18
|
|||
I bought into the idea I should expect more
But I don't remember what I was hoping for
I had every opportunity
I had all the finest things
All I had to do was cover for the King
Think of the damage
Think of the damage you're doing
Give me a minute
I can forget it
Baby, the damage done
The wicked, the wanton, and the wise
The kindest assessments come from outside

Never Cry
03:55
|
|||
It's gonna feel this way for a little while
And then it's not gonna feel like anything at all
I don't know how we found ourselves here
All I know is I'm not leaving without you
I never cry
But I did
You call this the final straw
But you gave up long ago
I couldn't count the times if I tried
I never try
But I did
It's gonna be a long day
You should get your rest
You don't get two shots at this

Ain't got no chairs
Ain't got nowhere to sit
Ain't got no chairs
Ain't got nowhere to sit
But you can come in
And lie down for a little bit
You got nothing but coffee
You got nothing but weed
You got nothing but coffee
You got nothing but weed
It's not the army you asked for
But it's the army you need
Watch out
These angels go from zero to light
High on midnight lightning
Out looking for a fight
Just keep your wings where we can see them
And everyone will be alright
