Whiskey on the Wounds
Men like me.
Once had nerves of steel.
Fist of iron and no time to kill.
A man like me.
I ain't nothing but a dying breed.
Or maybe I've just lost my will.
In the booze that I breath.
And love burns like fire.
It hurts like hell.
Straight out from the bottle.
It tells no tell.
But it numbs the pain.
Of a heart that's been ruined.
Sent straight to hell.
So all I do.
Is pour whiskey on the wounds of love.
All I do is pour whiskey on the wounds.
It's bar brawls at night.
Gutters come dawn.
I don't care to...

Lying Carelessly
Dedicated to staggerlee
Written 2 years ago
The world is going to burst.
You could say.
To hell in a handbag.
Maybe it won't come tomorrow.
But someday.
Don't listen to economist.
Who say it won't happen like that.
Their on the payrolls.
Of the wealthy, rich an fat.
Ulterior motives.
With declining morals.
Are where their greedy hearts are at.
It's a world of nations.
In the midst of evil, hate and war.
And while the poor get poorer.
Leaders lye carelessly in the isles.
Swimming in corruption.
Humping us...

Love Train
Bang, boom blam goes our love.
Snap, crackle, pop when our love begins to rock.
Oh baby, oh baby.
The way you take control from the top.
Don't stop, don't stop.
The temperature is on the rise.
It's getting hot, so hot baby.
I can see the fire in your eyes.
I feel the heat as you straddle my pride.
Playful battles consuming the floor.
Up against the wall.
Between the crack of your box car door.
No need to be begging.
Lust has eight inches more.
And times worth it's waiting.
So don't fear the passion of pain.
It's us driving the...

Shit Out of Luck
Here I sit.
A broken hearted schlub.
Poisioning my brainwashed mind.
On whiskey, coke and rum.
Just a fool.
Who's lost his love.
So what's a man like me to do.
Still head over heels.
For a girl like you.
So won't you take my heart tonight.
Make me feel all right.
If you leave me here to doubt.
I'm shit out of luck.
Clean out of time.
And half way out.
Of my mind.
I must be out of my mind.
Cuz I gave you love.
But you never gave me none.
And you took my heart.
And forgot to leave me some.
Now I feel I'm...

Hanging On For Love
Love's been wrong before.
And I'm hoping this time it sees beyond the light of fog.
And I've been back and fourth the pain.
Being bitten by the hair of the dog.
But I'm still hanging on.
I'm still hanging on.
I lost the game to the scores.
And once I owned the keys that opened all of hearts doors.
But I lost my patience and his name I've never known.
But I know in the end.
I still possess the flames of love in my heart that's grown.
Cuz I'm still hanging on.
I'm still hanging on.
So every moon I jump will lead me to where you are.
So...

Fatal Beauty
She is a woman.
Fashioned in style to hypnotize.
Full of fatal beauty.
And a pretty mouth of lies.
Seduction, flirtation and lust.
Lives upon her smile.
But that kind of girl.
Gives you everything you'll thrive.
Including some unwanted feelings
She's left you there inside.
Enough to drive you crazy.
Jealously gone dog wild.
And she's a little snow white.
Milk chocolate but bittersweet.
She's full of hot spices.
And sugar by the heaps.
Super sweet and so refined.
She's smoking hot.
Yes, every young mans wettest dream....

Life is Sacred
I like riding my Harley after midnight.
Lightless in the fog.
Cuz I'm not a afraid of nothing.
Being the mighty fearless dog.
I like standing up to protect.
The old, innocent and weak.
I'm just a uncommon nice guy.
With a mean bad boy streak.
And the things that you've got.
Are things that I've lost.
Things that I hold sacred.
They're all that I want.
But if you try to take them.
You'll soon come to regret.
I'll put six feet under.
And don't you forget.
This life is sacred.
I like smoking cigars.
While speaking...

The Creation
He kissed the moon.
Created the dunes.
Below earth and sky.
He gave birth to the sea.
And let out the breeze.
The maker of all of time.
He raised up the sun.
So planets could warm.
And stars had a place to apply.
Gave life to the flowers.
Honey to bees.
The birds wings they could fly.
Adam from dirt.
Eve from his rib.
And the forbidden fruit he denied.
He walked on waters.
While sin grew hotter.
Ice had to melt to dry.
He gave the world love.
And heaven above.
Every man woman and child.

MotoPsychoFreak
Got my wheels in motion.
Down a one-way street.
Hundred miles an hour.
Sights become oblique.
Nothing gonna stop me.
I'm a moto psycho freak.
Wheels start burning rubber.
Engine starts to peak.
Hanging on the corners.
While tires begin to tweak.
I'm living on the edge.
I'm a moto psycho freak.
Got full throttle on the gas.
Hitting top side of it's speed.
Midnight running fast.
Seven days a week.
I can't be slowed down.
I'm a moto psycho freak.
Sunshine on my backside.
Shadows in the trees.

The Unholy
I'd heard of a tale from a man.
That appeared before me.
Ten feet tall.
He was a faceless man.
With a serpents leg to stand.
He bellowed unto me.
Have you ever felt the thunder.
Under dark clouds of rain.
Opening doors that hold all souls.
As lightening strikes them down.
Beware of gods who come laughing.
As the wicked old man suddenly said.
I'll give you endless strengths.
And powers for you to hold.
And all the riches.
Of a wealthy mans gold.
But you must follow one unholy law.
You must sign in blood of a...

Show Me Mercy
Looking out my window.
I see halos of rainbows in the clouds.
All the leaves have blackened.
To shades of unsightly brown.
And the winds are crawling slow.
Faintly crossing over darkened ground.
I can't hear.
Beyond the glass of incognito.
And all her silent but tainted sound.
I feel my mind is getting weaker.
As she multiplies and grows.
Won't somebody help me.
Before my head it explodes.
I'm going insane.
Watching her sickness.
Rushing through my veins.
She's been multiplying by tens.
And payments due in full.
For all...

What Is This Thing Called Love
Love is a force of nature.
However much we may want it.
We can not command it.
Or demand it.
It's never been for sell.
Some say love lives in the moon.
Stars and the wind.
And it's rain has a certain smell.
As it's felt.
We may have some limited ability.
To change it.
But we do at the risk of upsetting it.
Where we stand.
It lives in an ecological balance.
We can never fully understand.
It's not a DNA strand.
Strangely enough.
We can stage it's seduction.
Mount it with a courtship.
Like a glove.
But the result...
