Funny Pill

I’m thinking through the night
About this life, it’s black and white
I fight, I bite with all my might
Surviving through the day
Another life mixed with gray
Sullen eyes symbolize
The start of the week
The coffee pot is full and hot
My jokes are lies and on the line
They hang to dry

Growing Up
03:31
|
|||
As a child I only knew the time, when the sun goes up and when the sun goes down
Summer haze and summer days, kicking back with all my friends
Bus stop fights, dirty jeans, busted lip
I can take a hit, take a hit with my fist
Work all day
Slaving away
For non existent bi weekly pay
Money's gone
Waking up way too early at the crack of dawn
Outcast years have now passed
Now I'm fighting all the overdrafts
Growing up way too fast at the speed of light, with the weight of the world
Day dreaming without a heart and soul, where did my time go
Student debt, car repairs, cable bill, and a pullout couch.
Numb your mind and don’t rewind.
Work all day
Slaving away
For non existent bi weekly pay
Money's gone
Waking up way too early at the crack of dawn
Outcast years have now passed
Now I'm fighting all the overdrafts
Work all day
Slaving away
For non existent bi weekly pay
Money's gone
Waking up way too early at the crack of dawn
Outcast years have now passed
Now I'm fighting all the overdrafts

She's got them curves, she's got that smile that make your eyes go wild
I’m weak at my knees when I hear her giggle in the breeze
My heart’s at ease when you’re finally holding me
But it looks to me that I’m falling in love again
But it looks to me that I’m falling in love again
And it looks to me that I’m saying goodbye again
And it looks to me that I’m waving goodbye again
I’m that type of guy that would throw my jacket in the mud for you
I remember skipping school when you were sick with the flu
And even those days when you were feeling sad blue
But it looks to me that I’m falling in love again
But it looks to me that I’m falling in love again
And it looks to me that I’m saying goodbye again
And it looks to me that I’m waving goodbye again
I dial your house phone just to hear that answering machine
Swept under the rug all of my troubles are made clean
But it looks to me that I’m falling in love again
But it looks to me that I’m falling in love again
And it looks to me that I’m saying goodbye again
And it looks to me that I’m waving goodbye again

Shake It & Break It
02:52
|
|||
You can shake it and break it
Hang it on the wall
throw it out and the window, before it falls
My jelly, my roll, sweet mama don't let it fall
Everybody have a jelly roll like mine
I live in town and I ain't got no brown
I want it now and when the Sun goes down
My jelly, my roll sweet mama don't let it fall
You can shake it and break it
Hang it on the wall
throw it out and the window, before it falls
My jelly, my roll, sweet mama don't let it fall
You can snatch it, you can grab it, you can break it you can twist it any way that I'd love to get it
I blow this town and I want it now, when the Sun goes down
My jelly, my roll, sweet mama don't let it fall
I ain't got nobody here but me and myself and I stay blue all the time
I want it now and when the Sun goes down
My jelly, my roll, sweet mama don't let it fall
You can shake it and break it
Hang it on the wall
throw it out and the window, before it falls
My jelly, my roll, sweet mama don't let it fall
You can snatch it, you can grab it, you can break it you can twist it any way that I'd love to get it
I blow this town and I want it now, when the Sun goes down
My jelly, my roll, sweet mama don't let it fall

Nickel & Dime
02:28
|

How many times do I need to hear you say this rhyme and tell me you're all out of dimes
Day after day, my change grows to bones, I dig my riches hidden in the ground
I'm starving for that
Bread and water
While you're robbing me for seconds
More is not enough
Or my love for you
Trying to save for that rainy, the weather turns and the lights are shut off
I've reached the end, sick, old and grey
Now living for today
I'm starving for that
Bread and water
While you're robbing me for seconds
More is not enough
Or my love for you

Just Another Stranger
04:25
|
|||
Wishing you were standing next to me
Wondering why life is mean
I'm waiting so patiently
I'm whispering to myself how could it be
Always looking over shoulder
Hoping to find you there
Just another stranger standing in the corner there
Just another lonely winter fighting this tough cold air
I've been gone way too long
Shoes are worn and my jeans are torn
Feeling small and I talk a fall
It couldn't get any worse than today
Always looking over shoulder
Hoping to find you there
Just another stranger standing in the corner there
Just another lonely winter fighting this tough cold air
I'm outside knocking at your door
Loud enough for everyone to see
Always looking over shoulder
Hoping to find you there
Just another stranger standing in the corner there
Just another lonely winter fighting this tough cold air

Jailbird Friends
02:14
|
|||
Another day has gone when we're sitting in the back of this car
Just a pair of birds with their feathers locked up in chains
Knowing damn well we can't be glued down
Just a couple of birds who ended up being jailbird friends
We've been on the run since Chicago
When we were faking tens
Just a couple of birds who ended up being jailbird friends
But the man has thrown us in cages
Jokes on you when we fly away
Now lets runaway to our hideout
Just a couple of birds who ended up being jailbird friends
We've been on the run since Chicago
When we were faking tens
Just a couple of birds who ended up being jailbird friends
Sometimes it's an itch you can't scratch
I'm that first bird you can't catch
It's a game of cat and mouse
Now here I am sitting in a jailhouse
Just a couple of birds who ended up being jailbird friends
We've been on the run since Chicago
When we were faking tens
Just a couple of birds who ended up being jailbird friends

Waiting For A Surprise
03:37
|
|||
You're living your ordinary life
Sipping on that black coffee
Staring out the window
Waiting for a surprise
You think God's gonna jump out at and hand it to ya
But the world knows you've got to put in time
Yeah you tell me you're bored
And you're feeling uninspired
Yeah you tell me there's no fire
And you're feeling undesired
Take the dry brittle paint brushes
And dip them in paint and water
Blank mind blank canvas
You gotta stop looking down
And somehow you’ve painted Mona Lisa with a proper smile
Excited to chisel sadness with beauty and style
Yeah you tell me you're bored
And you're feeling uninspired
Yeah you tell me there's no fire
And you're feeling undesired

They're telling me I know from the lotto to the weather
And always telling me it couldn't get much better
A spell from the witches to the riches to the grave
Now Nostradamus couldn't see this from his candle lit cave
Time is a friend you can't defeat
The eyes perceive what they want to see
This blood powered clock will keep on ticking
Time is a friend you can't defeat
I'm staring at the Sun for a solution to this curse
Giving all the warnings that are in this last verse
And the truth is hidden in the laughter of the millions
Who spend all of their time criticizing my opinions
Time is a friend you can't defeat
The eyes perceive what they want to see
This blood powered clock will keep on ticking
Time is a friend you can't defeat

Sweetheart Blues
03:00
|
|||
Falling diamonds from the blue,
Feeling lonely I need you.
No feelings of lust,
Only feelings for trust.
I left you all alone
And I took you with the wrong tone.
Lovers lost in the cold blue sea
What a fool, what a fool I can be.
Soft Candy you’re my baby blue
Soft candy you’re my baby blue
Soft candy baby I'm needing you
I always knew you were the one
But please don't tell me we are done.
I’m sick with the sweetheart blues
Now I know I have everything to lose
I left you all alone
And I took you with the wrong tone.
lovers lost in the oceans and the seas.
What a fool, what a fool I can be.
Soft Candy you’re my baby blue
Soft candy you’re my baby blue
Soft candy baby I'm needing you

Crazy
01:35
|

Crazy, I'm crazy for feeling so lonely
I'm crazy, crazy for feeling so blue
I knew, you'd love me as long as long as you wanted
And then someday, you leave me for somebody new
Worry, why do I let myself worry
Wondering, what in the world did I do
Crazy for thinking that my love could hold you
I'm crazy for trying and crazy for crying
I'm crazy for loving you

The Ballad of DB Cooper
02:37
|
|||
I’m packing a suitcase filled with nothing
A bunch of wires, a timer that starts at zero
Sunday’s best suit is neat and pressed
My shades are dark and my clip on tie is straight
They can never guess my intentions
Trying to make a quick buck and go
Yeah I’m boarding the plane
Yeah I’m taking my seat
Yeah I order my drink
Yeah I’m passing the note
Excuse me attendant, read my note
Take the note to the pilot, time to descend now
I won’t harm anyone but please don’t tempt me
Tell the cops I want my money
But when the plane lands, everybody run now
Back into the sky we all go
Yeah I’m counting my cash
Yeah I’m leaving my seat
Yeah I open the door
Yeah I’m leaving the plane

High Fashion Crime
02:06
|
|||
She wears her red heels, blonde wig a gun in her purse
Addicted to her fire and her love is a curse
We're living and committing a high fashion crime today
For danger and passion for nine pay days
Sheriff storms with a badge and she flees the scene
Now I'm stuck with all the dough and the green
Lesson learned and taken looks can kill and leave me blind
Now I'm sitting in jail with my bail denied
