Hello dignity………. My name is alcohol……… And I'll be replacing you………….. Tonight………… Bleary eyed…………. Playin eye spy……….ah well ah, Left for dead………. Under the disco lights…………. My feet hurt………. My shoes are too tight………. But my word it's a sweet burn - Alright……….. So save me from the sun…… Like I'm someone……….. Me and my friends dying young…….. Over night……… all right…. Hello dignity………. My name is alcohol……… And I'll be replacing you………….. Tonight………… Bleary eyed…………. Playin eye spy……….ah well ah, Left for dead………. Under the disco lights…………. Learn your lessons for this life will test ya I don't say shit I don't mean unless I'm high or under pressure – [Yes sir!] For there's a code we be about……… Huh…… Cos the thing about the highs - they make the lows stand out Hey there sister, I musta missed ya Hasta la vista I wish I hadda kissed ya - Sunlight stings like a blister When I'm slippin on that tongue twister………. Hello summer…………. Oh I've been waiting on……….. The wind that whispers……… And the stars that shine…… Yeah and it's my last night, So I'll have a fine old time!… Poppin bottles…………Here's to - A hell of a ride……………. Hello dignity………. My name is alcohol……… And I'll be replacing you………….. Tonight………… Bleary eyed…………. Playin eye spy……….ah well ah, Left for dead………. Under the disco lights…………. Here's to…….. A hell of a ride……………… Here's to…….. A hell of a ride……………... Yeah I said me and you - Under disco lights……… High………. Dying young………. Slow….. Over night………

Me, Down 04:41
Break me down into pieces..... Mmm hmm....... And put me back together, the way that you please...... Cos someone to love and hold you, honey............ Is the only one I want to be......... Tell me which mountain to conquer.... And I'll, Climb 'till i run out of air...... Ooh... And if I am to die before, I reach the peak.... Darling I'll be too high to care..........Yeah.... Me down......Me down......Me down......Me down...... Don'tcha go bringing me down.... Hear me now..... Me now..... Me now!!!!...... Calling out for you to come back, around........... Oh take me to dance in the rainfall, baby... I don't mind if you lead............ Soul to soul we sway until tears dry away.... Time after time till you leave....Yeah heah!!!!.. Lay me down!!!.... Ooh!!!!... In the bottom of your heart - For me to fall asleep in the deep...... Deep!.... Oh my love just say you're in my arms to stay - And that you aint gotta go, going away!!!!!........ Spent a lil time - lost a lil bit of face, baby..... Told you my world is yours - yours to keep...... Will you keep me hanging on?.... You hide and I'll seek - Don't eave me laying lonely.... Counting sheep.... And ah, hooo....... Hooo!!!........ Hooo!............ Are we 'We' or just me and you?......... Dadah, Dooo!......... Ah dooo!!!........ Dooo!........ Are the stars in the sky for us too?......... Maybe I'm dreaming?................ [Oh no......] Losing track of my mind in a daze?!!........ Should I tell you I'm falling?..... Mmm hmmm.... Or maybe I'll wait......... Maybe I'll wait............. Oh now... Maybe I'll wait....... Way!!!....... Way!...... Me down......Me down......Me down......Me down...... Don'tcha go bringing me down.... Hear me now..... Me now..... Me now!!!!...... Calling out for you to come back, around........... Stitch me up where I am torn..... Woman....... Can you see me fray at the seems?...... A slave to dismay but this time I'll be brave - I'm just dazed and afraid so it seems.... Mmm hmm.... So hollow - I will follow - wherever you go....... To the wilderness..... Like a lamb to the slaughter - Staring up to the sun, when our last dance has come - You'll leave me where the sand.......... Meets........... The water.............

Chained 04:03
Chained Acoustic Intro: Verse 1: Rapped / Sang Fast I'm tired of despair, I don't wanna care…. And life's passing me bye too fast for me to stop and stare – Yeah - Stars in my eyes rocking knives in my sides, Chained to the rise getting high till my demise……… And I wont come down for nothing less than perfection, Like a cash in hand musician I'm just working on the session Never to learn my lesson fuck depression I'm bless - Treading water in the denail with the weight on my chest…….. They wanna launch an investigation - into my - Desperation - this hightens my aggrivation…… No rest for the wicked no………….. I'm wide eyed seeing it all unfold………. And as it all sinks in I gotta stop to think damn - Finna stay afloat as this shit fills to the brink fam With a dry throat feeling like I'm stuck in the drink man - Uh……… Time flying by in a blink and………… Chorus: + BV's Said if this is torture!…………………. Wooooh!…………. Go head and - Chain me to the wall now!!!!!!!…………… Mmmm hmmm………….. Aint no - High without the come - Down!………Down!!………. And my feet are far too tired to run now…………… Now now…………… Woah……. Bridge: + BV's Woahhh release the hounds!!!!!………… And send for the guards!!…………. Boy I'm heading head high home!…………. And I hope my last laugh lasts!……… So drop the bridge!!!……. Yeah!!!………… And shoot for the stars!…. Stars, stars!!…….. Raise a glass to brand new scars - And cry out your heart!!!…………. Instrumental Break: Acoustic Guitar Bass Lick Verse 2: Rapped / Sang Fast I feel the pitter patter, as black birds scatter Looking shattered with a body, blue, bruised and battered Famalam none of it matters, manna bun that chitter chatter Soul's full of holes and woe plus my skin is in tatters Was tryna keep my head up but I fell off the ball There's shades of my grey matter splattered over my walls Bawling cos I aint balling calling out for the lord - Still I'm sprawled pon the floor trawling for ever more For answers I seek yet can't seem to find - Wreaking havoc in the paddocks where wild fires collide Go toe to toe with my pride, beside the tie dye tides - Darker that the top hat of Dr Jekyll and Hyde - Is my mind - nothing but lies lies inside my cranium - Toxic like uranium stubborn as titanium………. Once was enthralled, now frankly I'm appalled, With this sorry state of affairs of which into I was born……….. Bridge: + BV's Woahhh release the hounds!!!!!………… And send for the guards!!…………. Boy I'm heading head high home!…………. And I hope my last laugh lasts!……… So drop the bridge!!!……. Yeah!!!………… And shoot for the stars!…. Stars, stars!!…….. Raise a glass to brand new scars - And cry out your heart!!!…………. Chorus: + BV's Said if this is torture!…………………. Wooooh!…………. Go head and - Chain me to the wall now!!!!!!!…………… Mmmm hmmm………….. Aint no - High without the come - Down!………Down!!………. And I'm far too tired to run now…………… Now now…………… Woah……. Middle 8: Sang + Harmonies I feel the rust around my wrists…………….. The dust settle 'pon my lips………. As lady luck she sways her hips………. I wonder if I still exist……….. Oh and if I had one wish……. I'd be - One of those to ask for three……….. Oh if only U could C - Maybe we could let it B……….. Verse 3: Now, now, forgive I for being cynical but if reach my pinnacle It’s only down hill after then for sinning - bull - Shit - I heard um chatting rash with all of that smack - When I was 21 like black jack - I picked up my back pack - And hit the road bro I put my nose down to the grindstone - Avoiding the tomb stone when I was rolling like “You know” - The colds winds blow round this soul of mine - from time - To time I’m fine then life is back on the line - Then it’s the deepest incision - as I in vision this prison - That I be living in again and again when I can’t kick the superstition - I’m wishing for the snakes to stop hissing……… Shit…….. And when poison Ivy’s blowing kisses - I’m twitching - Itching for a fresh start when the drama is hitting - Hoping that karma starts dishing food for thought outta the kitchen - Damn I can’t stand the heat - was I born to breathe - Oh all the thoughts of heart sores, love and war rush back to me - Chorus: + BV's Said if this is torture!…………………. Wooooh!…………. Go head and - Chain me to the wall now!!!!!!!…………… Mmmm hmmm………….. Aint no - High without the come - Down!………Down!!………. And I'm far too tired to run now…………… Now now…………… Woah……. Outro: + BV's [With Guitar Riff Ala Smooth Criminal] Mmmmm……………. Chains!!!……….. Mmmmm……………. Chains!!!……….. Mmmmm……………. These chains!!!……….. Rust away………… Rust away!!!…………….. Mmmmm……………. Chains!!!……….. Mmmmm……………. Chains!!!……….. Mmmmm……………. These chains!!!……….. Fall…………. All over me…………..

Pearl handcuffs, bind your hands………… Oh the price you pay, to be a brand new man……….. Up in the sky, over land and sand…….. There's a crooked little smile for your plans…………… Summer time, glint in your eyes, And the sun shines down on your lines……. The time is nigh, do we do or die? Are we born to cry? My my………. A cashmere neck brace holds your head high……… And my soul………. Drips dry……….. There's a knot in your stomach and your tongue tied - So with a lump in my throat I bid you bye bye……… And you'll burn…………… Burn!……………… Burn………………… Every time the cruel world turns………………. You'll never learn………………….. No, no……………… It's waiting here on you to return………… Mmmm hmmm………. Summer time, glint in your eyes, And the sun shines down on your lines……. The time is nigh, do we do or die? Are we born to cry? My my………. A crown of thorns graces your forehead………. You wanted to be the king and then you bled!!!………… And as the sycophants sing, you regret everything………. As the white wine turns into red…………… Summer time!……………. Eeee I………. [Sun shines down on down…………..] Can you see the light?…………….. Did you run from the fight??!!!……………….. Summer time!……………. Eeee I………. [Sun shines down………..] Blinding on high!………… I bid you farewell, goodbye………….. You're looking like, Someone done gave you a fright……………. Hey hey!!!…… And you'll burn…………… Burn!……………… Burn………………… Every time the cruel world turns………………. You'll never learn………………….. No, no……………… It's waiting here on you to return………… Mmmm hmmm………. And nobody's wasting your time…….. Nothing's gon' change, your mind…………… No, no!!………… The future is dark! And the past was bright!!……… But, I'll be fine…………………. By the end of the night…………………
