Thumper 05:19
the straight and narrow the pink slip you slipped yourself so many times it's in your marrow the jigsawed edge of that puzzle piece defines your life release that arrow split in half the apple of your father's eye tattoo a sparrow on each wrist a witness of the scars you hide you run your mouth again curiosity killed the cat that held your tongue metaphorically a burnt out bulb gives way to clarity oh the irony you said it best break out that wheelhouse that comfort zone you've been pigeon holed by your own design pull out that pin now boy that pink slip you slipped yourself before you're paralyzed is this what you really want the first in line is the first to have second thoughts blindfold on with your back against the wall no love is lost no bluff is called arms outstretched born again behind that cloth as a martyr for the heartless falls

Evil Eye 03:41
there's a buzz out on the street sounds like helicopter thunder a song stuck in my head or the influence I'm under I can't tell I'm just trying to survive if Father Time could tell then he'd tell us that we're goners let Nature have her way or you yourself could do that honor well I can't say the thought has never crossed my mind there's a storm inside my skull it's the never ending kind I spy that evil eye there's a reckoning a comin' it's the never ending kind wait now you don't have to go it alone they say if there ain't nothin' wrong with this love then why ain't it selling there's a presence in this room it's like a masterpiece Madonna a beauty on a bar stool or Medusa undercover well I can't tell you see my heart's already stone if good looks they could kill then I swear that her's are gonna like a tractor beam navigates me towards another one of those cross-hair stares with such a powerful hold and this time I fear there is no letting go

Guillotine 05:28
there is a time and a place for this but this is not the time or the place for this and I suppose there never is the hunter or the hunted or the in-between? which one should I be? what's the difference if we're all just showing teeth? those loose lips they sank this ship that iceberg tip it tore my hull to bits and yeah I suppose I steered right into it I never ever felt so free until I felt the kiss of that guillotine so easy so painless so quick and clean come hither come hell or high water rest your weary head on that wooden throne that lion's den ain't no place for such a lonely soul heads will roll by the time you read this i'll be gone my dearest John heads will roll there was a time and a place for us but this is not the time or the place for us and yeah I suppose there never was so now I sit with my tongue in cheek my drink drinking me a little lamb so meek that's what I'd have you if I could've had you have you believe this recipe for the great unknown this inkwell flows yeah it holds me close these devices they are my own I never ever felt so free until I felt the kiss of that guillotine so easy so painless so quick and clean by the time you hear this if you ever hear this song heads will roll

Arrival 05:12
three decades down yeah you're a triple threat but that starting gate's hardly opened yet behind your ears you're still soaking wet this is a calling card a cannonball a white courtesy wake up call to penetrate your fortress your firewall you were born on the cusp of a quarter moon I heard them stars had some big plans for you I wonder if they know you had some too the oblivious carry on straight into oblivion where you know you don't belong du caccoon vien le pappion we're all winners of life's great lottery weather wrapped in filthy rags or golden fleece it all gets stripped away eventually some words were scratched on a bathroom stall but you heard it before yeah you've heard it all saints and sinners before the fall still that poison dribbles down your mouth but from your bar stool you can see it so clearly now that glowing sign points the way out let the wasted kids babble on straight into oblivion where you know you don't belong du caccoon vien le pappion give 'em your belly they'll give you what for from the caccoon comes the butterfly yeah you've been waiting more than half your life to arrive at this door

conversation killer the elephant in the room a walking contradiction always half empty and half full optimism's overrated and pessimism is a worthless tool with a little tunnel vision this pawn can finally make his move it's almost enough to wipe that fucking smirk right off your face it's almost enough the pedal to the pavement hands at ten and two let your constant indecision and your regret become your fuel keep looking towards the future beyond the glare of that hallowed moon it's almost enough to wipe this silly grin right off my face it's almost enough conversation killer the elephant in the room a self destructive time bomb or some exception to the rule they say with a little tunnel vision you can keep that crooked cross-hair true put that in your pipe and smoke it blowing smoke rings 'round that hallowed mook it's almost enough to wipe that fucking smirk right off your face it's almost enough don't forget that string around your finger the recognition you persue it's daily bread you're breaking but you're the one betraying you they say there's a reckoning a comin' well I'd say that it couldn't come too soon put that in your pipe and smoke it blowing smoke rings 'round that hallowed moon it's almost enough to wipe this silly grin right off my face it's almost enough one more for the road and then I'll go
