Perhaps I made it all up Anyway it came crashing down Pretty damn lonely ain’t no friends in town Steppin’ out of battle trying to break it all down to a reasonable size Done a lot of playing, since the Fourth of July There’s a tale of a treasure buried under LA I think an explanation is probably going to be late Wasting time now you’re thinking you should already be gone Sure you may cause a big scene but it doesn’t really mean that your wrong And I’ve been torn and told what to do Since I’ve been born it’s been all about you And the bridges are breaking as the echoes still bring Every note of every song as the band goes on and the world Starts to Swing You come along at a time when the long hard day seems to break at the seams Sounding like the horns coming straight out of New Orleans It’s OK man cause I chased it too The story of the King and the Queen just simply ain’t true And I’ve been torn and told what to do Since I’ve been born it’s been all about you And the bridges are breaking as the echoes still bring Every note of every song as the band goes on and the world Starts to Swing Basically just burning everything in my way My hammock is a weapon keeping the world at bay Standing on a mountain and I’m staring down at he sea Playing music with the masters and trying to stay in key And I’ve been torn and told what to do Since I’ve been born it’s been all about you And the bridges are breaking as the echoes still bring Every note of every song as the band goes on and the world Starts to Swing

Liquid gold in my veins tons of money and fame And every single soul on the street knows my name Out on the floor a couple dozen or more Fine looking ladies and there’s still more lining up at the door But all I really want is you to listen to the chords Cause you’re the only one who knows exactly what I’m looking for You’re a wallflower, love is power, count the weeks and days and hours Lock me in a cage or you can throw me in a tower but I will Come Back to You Yes I will Come Back to You That’s the crowd that you hear, are they coming through clear Got the feeling that I’m flyin’ through a fortress of fear The lights and the stage I’m about to go rage It’s electrified my eyes are wide I may fly right off the page But I can see you, who knew, our thoughts are always Taboo Hopefully you see that I will always Come Back to You I will Come Back to You Yes I will Come Back to You

Rosebud 03:49
Hello Rosebud, welcome home Surprised to see that you've returned Blow the candles out tonight Stay up til' the mornin light When the town turned out for your escape Confetti rained on your parade Rockets streaked across the sky Where mom and dad sent you to die I'm starting to see myself In you I'm starting to see myself In you Thought that I had lost my faith Until you showed me a better day God ain't dead, you can take my word He's got a taste for the absurd I'm starting to see myself In you I'm starting to see myself In you I'm starting to see myself In you I'm starting to see myself In you

The Flame 04:18
I’ve been avoiding a catastrophe I’ve been locking myself in I let your choices get the best of me And now I’m praying for the end No love lost you say and them you leave Life has funny little plans Blow it all to hell I can barely breathe Slowly sinking in the sand Crushed between a case of love and lust My brain’s on fire I’ve been reduced to dust And You’re The Flame, You’re to Blame My day’s filled with awkward greetings and goodbyes Evenings I’m just passing time It’s the nights, the godforsaken nights I can’t lie It kills me waiting for a sign This is not a case of infidelity This is simply not where you really want to be And I’m To Blame When did this all come undone Love under a loaded gun I forced your hand you called my bluff Things were always a little rough Moved on to find your fairytale A tear beneath a wedding veil If time won’t stop it may slow down You’re the toast of the town Crushed between a case of love and lust My brain’s on fire I’ve been reduced to dust This is not a case of infidelity This is simply not where you really want to be And I’m To Blame

Shame On You 04:04
Shame on you all your lies and mistruths Shame on you You withdrew, we’ve got some work to do Shame on you Slept on a sofa bed You should be thanking me instead You claim you don’t know what was said But I do Booze and Pills they numb before they kill Shame on you Money and Guns damn near killed everyone Killed you too I’m alive and now you’re dead You should be thanking me instead You claim you don’t know what was said But I do I’m alive and now you’re dead You should be thanking me instead You claim you don’t know what was said But I do
