There's a little old place down south of La Grange Where the whiskey flows and the nights go on for days My home on the range There's a sultry queen set her sights on me Was the best damn thing that I ever seen oh ya She's Evangeline
That preacher's daughter she took off her leather dress She pulled me into sin and now I must confess
She's a
(Pre Chorus) Sister sister of pain She's a knock down drag it out, lick it up do it again
Such a sweet young thing took a bite out of me She spread her cards out for all the world to see oh ya I went willingly She walked me back to a darkened room Said this one's on me boy, I want to see you howl at the moon and I'm talkin' soon
That night I saw the light I'd never seen before When I thought my time was up she said how 'bout a, a little more
For the (Pre-Chorus)
(Chorus) A sister, sister of pain Drop down, spread 'em out, open up it's only a game
Suck your soul, make a blind man see With a touch of her hand, brings a devil out of me She held up a sign said have no fear We got liquor up front, and poker in the rear
Trees are falling more than leaves Make it easy blame it on me
Pleasure digging melts away Lizard chasing hey I'm not insane
I like I like I like chasing them for fun I like I like I like breakin' in the gun
(Chorus) I do what I want I do what I please There ain't a soul who'll stop me I take what I want get whatever I need There ain't a soul who'll stop me
Tease my vision soak it wet Explanations I'll never regret cause
(Chorus) Forest burning, smoking sky No one's caring and neither am I
I like I like I like chasing them for fun I like I like I like breakin' in the gun
Everything's moving backwards It's been that way for so long When all my cries like butterflies Drift slowly Away I can't relate to no one
Sifting through all my so called friends Ain't what I like to do But give or take my wreckage past Dies slowly away And now the battle's begun
[Chorus] Black promises black promises Face down in a hole I'm sinkin' below Till I face myself I'm letting go, so on with the show Till I face myself
Nevermind all the pity I rattle on all the snakes I knew I chewed the bone, got criticized And hid all the pain Beneath it all I still face the same face
As sorry as it seems It can be like it used to be We live on broken dreams We¹ve given up on trying
The face I thought I always knew The picture that I¹d paint of you Your crying eyes are lying
Can¹t you see the writing on the wall Will the ghost from the past Show us how it used to be Draw the line on the things we said Let them fade away Now you¹ll see the writing on the wall Oh yea, everything that used to be Is writing on the wall
All the time we fooled ourselves Had some fun if nothing else But oh our little world was dying
Sorry as it seems It can¹t be like it used to be We¹ve lived on broken dreams We¹ve given up on trying
Can¹t you see the writing on the wall Will the ghost from the past Show us how it used to be Draw the line on the things we said Let them fade away Now you¹ll see the writing on the wall Oh yea, everything that used to be Is writing on the wall
No one hears the laughter No one hears the pain All the world's escapes for the insane Judgement day is coming Can we all be saints The justice in this world is all a game
Can't we find can't we find a dream
Street fights on the corner An abiet daughter's slain The body's on the news is all a fame When somethin' for nothin' is the only way they play We'll never ever see the light of day
All the goods and wicked Get on their knees and pray Sins of all their fathers turn away Turn away
Daddy?s in the bathroom Mama?s on the streets Garden party soiree Makes no sense to me Sirens in the background Gunshots I can?t see Won?t anybody listen To a child of three
Can?t you see me oh ya/can?t ya see me now Don?t you need me oh ya/don?t ya need me now Please feed me oh ya/one less mouth to feed Can?t you see me
Cryin?from the hunger Of a love that isn?t there Nothing really matters Cause no one really cares Starin?out the window There ain?t nothin?I can?t see Is this my future Is hell my destiny
They told him not to wander They told him not to stray Listen to the warnings Never lose the light of day
There's danger in the darkness And death's not what they say Thunderclouds are rolling in Trouble's on the way
But you can feel excitement in your veins No holding back till you stake you claim
[Chorus] Surprise disguise better run now you realize The kiss abyss knowing that you can't resist The thrill, the kill, and you know that it's over
With a look in her eyes
An ocean of temptation With every drop of wine Shadows meeting face to face The tentacles entwine One look from the jezebel Phony valentine Now you see the wanderer Frozen in the corridors of time
But you can feel excitement in your veins No holding back till you stake you claim
There's a little old place down south of La Grange Where the whiskey flows and the nights go on for days My home on the range There's a sultry queen set her sights on me Was the best damn thing that I ever seen oh ya She's Evangeline

When I was a young boy my mama would say Son you ain't always gonna get your way Times will be good times will be bad You ain't always gonna get a winning hand Son she always said you gotta stand tall Even when it looks like you'll take a fall Life is short and sometimes sweet Get out of the kitchen if you can't take the heat
Everything she said was true My mama never was a fool Gotta live your life by the golden rule
[Chorus] I guess it's true what they say Really true what they say I guess what mama said was true Can't have your cake and eat it too, babe
I never doubted any word my Mutha said With all the sinnin' runnin' 'round my head
Everything she said was true My mama never was a fool Gotta live your life by the golden rule
Everything she said was true My mama never was a fool Gotta live your life by the golden rule
The edge of the moment the glory of the kill Thirsting for excitement and hunger for the thrill Screams around the corners Sound like demons in the wind Their voices pushing me to where I've never been
(Chorus) A look at the cards and they just see the red I say it's all in the head Fear's a skin that you have to shed If not you're better off dead
Time's on the edge Means I'm on the edge of time...
Maybe no tomorrow I live my life today Luck is my religion to the lady I will pray I fear to see the black in every tinsel town They an try and take my pride But they can never take my crown
(Chorus)
Time's on the edge Life's full of time Life's in my head Means I'm on the edge of time...
I see the headlights on the highway I'm standing in the rain Gonna hitch a ride to nowhere Shake off Mary Jane Ashes to ashes Leave it in the dust Don't worry about missin' me You do what you must whoa
[Chorus] Change no you can't change me Into something I could never be Sure nuff plain to see That you can't you can't change me
Are we losing our connection Are you somewhere on the line Yeah I'm hearing your suggestion But it's too late, too late here tonight So many reasons Everybody's out of time I'll take my chances baby Oh oh and take what's mine
[Chorus]
You know you're something to see But you can't no you can't change me You're somewhere in tomorrow I'm stuck here in today Got more trouble than a man can borrow When you're livin' it up livin' in outer space
[Chorus]
Change you can't change me Yeah I bet you're something to see But you can't no you can't change me
They're cooking up a storm In Hell's Kitchen tonight And the main course could be you Or try your hand at an Eastside stand Dashin' slashes in a crazy human zoo The girls shine like diamonds In the cold steel of the night With cash in hand you'd better understand
If you want it you can get it any day or night (Pre Chorus) So if you turn around And tell me to go to hell I'd say I know that place to well
(Chorus) Where living is a luxury There's a bad moon rising in the underground Living is a luxury Another drive-by nightmare In this lonely town
When your blood runs cold And your soul's on ice Gotta run from the shadows Of the night The secrets told with the back alley show It's a cold sweat, loose bet Skin tight Sloe gin is a fast-pace sin In this hell below your feet A blue sky day seems so Far away, with another chalk Mark on this crazy street
(Pre-Chorus)
And if you close your eyes to see You better take a look at me Ya
Little woman got that look in her eyes Want to cut me down to size Show me watcha gonna do it's true Who's that gorilla standin' by your side Oh no that must be your ride You wouldn't be with such a fool Or your mama too
There's something over here I want you to see There's a party but it isn't for three Get something straight between you and me...because
[Chorus] Oh no you're invited but your friend can't come Oh, no come on baby we're gonna have some fun
Wow
Heartbreaker yeah you came for the show But little did you know you'd end up in the spotlight Well all right Come on baby won't you show me what you've got Ready or not one, two, here we go Oh no
Nobody's watchin' it's time to decide Shake the monkey, mama don't be shy Come on honey time to take a little ride because
[Chorus)]
Oh, no you're invited but your friend can't come Oh, no you're invited but your friend can't come
Rock the night like a hurricane Make me sweat like the drivin' rain Pour it on till I can't get no reaction It's gonna be your night tonight I'm gonna make you feel all right Scream and shout, I need it now! Now! Now! Now! Now!
I'm making plans for the rest of the night So tell your guard dog he better not bite My dogs are bigger and they're ready to fight
Come on come on come on give it up tonight!
[Chorus]
Oh, no you're invited but your friend can't come
Oh, no come on baby we're gonna have some fun
We're gonna have some fun, we're gonna have some fun Have some fun, baby oh she can't come
