Down Payment Blues
I know that it's evil I know that it's gotta be I know I ain't doing much doing nothing means a lot to me living on a shoestring a fifty cent millionaire open to charity rock 'n' roll welfare sitting in my Cadillac listening to my radio Suzy baby get on in tell me where she wanna go I'm living in a nightmare she's looking like a wet dream I got myself a Cadillac but I can't afford the gasoline I got holes in my shoes and I'm way overdue down payment blues get myself a steady job some responsibility can't even feed my cat on social security hiding from the rent man oh it make me wanna cry sheriff knocking on my door ain't it funny how the time flies sitting on my sailing boat sipping on my champagne Suzy baby all at sea say she wanna come again feeling like a paper cup floating down a storm drain got myself a sailing boat but I can't afford a drop of rain I got holes in my shoes and I'm way overdue down payment blues down payment blues down payment blues down payment blues I got holes in my shoes and I'm way overdue I go the down payment blues

Gimme A Bullet
She had the word Had the way The way of letting me know She knew the game Called the play Oh she hit me low She said, "Now you go your way I'll go mine And that's a start" Doctor, doctor Ain't no cure For the pain in my heart CHORUS: Gimme a bullet to bite on Something to chew Gimme a bullet to bite on And I'll make believe I'll make believe it's you Don't need no drink Don't need no drug Don't need no sympathy Sooner or later Send me a bill For what she's doing to me Operator Long distance lips On the telephone Come tomorrow Come to grips With me all alone CHORUS Bullet to bite on

Riff Raff
See it on television every day Hear it on the radio It ain't humid but it sure is hot Down in Mexico Boss man tryin' to tell me Beginnin' of the end Sayin' it'll bend me Too late my friend Riff raff It's good for a laugh Riff raff Laugh yourself in half Now I'm the kind of guy that keeps his big mouth shut It don't bother me Somebody kickin' me when I'm up Leaves me in misery I never shot nobody Don't even carry a gun I ain't doin' nothin' wrong I'm just havin' fun Riff raff It's good for a laugh Riff raff Laugh yourself in half

Sin City
Diamonds and dust Poor man last, rich man first Lambourginis, caviar Dry martinis, Shangri-la I got a burning feeling Deep inside of me It's yearning But I'm going to set it free CHORUS: I'm going in to sin city I'm gonna win in sin city Where the lights are bright Do the town tonight I'm gonna win in sin city (I'm gonna rule you baby) Ladders and snakes Ladders give, snakes take Rich man, poor man, beggarman, thief Ain't got a hope in hell, that's my belief Fingers Freddy, Diamond Jim They're getting ready, look out I'm coming in So spin that wheel, cut that pack And roll those loaded dice Bring on the dancing girls And put the champaign on ice

What's Next To The Moon
Well I tied my baby to the railroad track Cannonball down the line Givin' that woman just one more chance To give it to me one more time Engineer wishin' he was home in bed Dreamin' 'bout Casey Jones Wide eyed woman half a mile ahead Thinkin' 'bout broken bones It's your love that I want It's your love that I need It's your love gotta have It's your love Heavenly body flyin' across the sky Superman was outta town Come on honey gotta change your tune Cause it's a long way down Clark Kent lookin' for a free ride Thinkin' about Louis Lane It's a bird it's a plane it's suicide And that'd be a shame It's your love that I want It's your love that I need It's your love gotta have It's your love But what's next to the moon Long arm lookin' for a finger print Tryin' to find a mystery clue Hittin' me with the third degree Working on the thumb screw All right officer I confess Everything's coming back I didn't mean to hurt that woman of mine It was a heart attack It's your love that I want It's your love that I need It's your love gotta have It's your love guaranteed Your love that I want It's your love that I need It's your love gotta have It's your love What's next to the moon

Gone Shootin'
Feel the pressure rise Hear the whistle blow Bought a ticket of her own accord To I dunno Packed her heart in a travellin' bag And never said bye bye Something missing in the neighbourhood Of her cryin' eyes I stirred my coffee with the same spoon Knew her favourite tune Gone shootin' My baby gone shootin' Wrapped herself around Like a second skin Backed her favourite nag But she could never win I took an offer in another town She took another pill She was runnin' in overdrive A victim of overkill She never made it past the bedroom door What was she aiming for Gone shootin' She's gone Gone gone gone Gone shootin' My baby's gone shootin' Gone shooting, how am I gonna get her down Gone shooting, look out look out look out Gone shooting, she can hurt someone Gone shooting, yeah she sure is loaded Gone shooting, she's gone gone gone gone she's gone Gone shooting

Up To My Neck In You
Well I been up to my neck in trouble Up to my neck in strife Up to my neck in misery For most of my life I've been a fool And you know what a fool can do I'm telling you You come along when I needed you Now I'm up I'm up to my neck in you And I been up to my neck in pleasure Up to my neck in pain I been up to my neck on the railroad track Waitin' for the train To cruise on through I figured my time was due It's way over due You come along and you pulled me through Now I'm up Up to my neck in you Don't it feel good I been up to my neck in whiskey I been up to my neck in wine I been up to my neck in wishin' That this neck wasn't mine I'm a loser That ain't lost it Baby you were to good To good to be true What you done no one else could do Now I'm up I'm up to my neck in you It feels good You come along when I needed you I'm up to my neck in you

Kicked In The Teeth
Two faced woman with the two faced lies I hope your two faced living made you satisfied Tell me baby I was your only one While you've been running around town with every mother's son Told your story about the women like you Told your story about the things you do I used to think that you were sugar and spice I should've listened to my mother's advice CHORUS: Kicked in the teeth again Sometimes you lose, sometimes you win Kicked in the teeth again Ain't this misery ever gonna end? And I've been kicked in the teeth Kicked in the teeth again Two faced woman, such a crying shame Don't know nothing, you're all the same You run around, hope you had your fun You never know who's gonna win till the race been run CHORUS
