Need a little whiskey in my tea To soothe my aching bones And put my mind at ease Just a little whiskey in my tea Watching cars from on my porch The green burns a little slow I count the time by the strike of a match And I punch buggy your ghost, but you punch back Last night's festivities lie broken and scattered Along the chairs and tables Promises linger in the air Listen, can't you hear? Need a little whiskey in my tea To soothe my aching bones And put my mind at ease Just a little whiskey in my tea I feel you, won't you take me? I feel you, won't you take me away? Weed and whiskey stems Blend of solid to loose is in the eye Can't I just rest, my backs against the wall Legs locked in place this gaze becoming clear Hands covered over by this I feel you, won't you take me? I feel you, won't you take me? I feel you, won't you take me away? Need a little whiskey in my tea To soothe my aching bones And put my mind at ease Just a little whiskey in my tea

Baby came by late yesterday Working hard for the money to get her through the day She doesn't really watch much TV Just some conversation with friends can set her free We've got a mutual friend A little bag of sunshine that brings pain to an end She's a free spirit out there A light green aura with flowing long, long hair Step up, feel the rhythm inside you Step up, and just dance the night through When you're gone, I'm gonna be waiting for the next time you'll be coming around. A tiny hula hoop firecracker The way she spins that ring shows she is no slacker And she wear a tight pair of jeans Yeah, she's packing heat that can bring you to your knees So step up, feel the rhythm inside you Step up, and just dance the night through When you're gone, I'm gonna be waiting for the next time you'll be coming around.

Driven blind by complacency And paralyzed by a sense of need Let me see what I can't see and take me back where I can bleed I want more more more more Cool breeze, Blue sky Wont sleep tonight We fight, wont hide Life screams, inside Take all you want and see, all that you need is me Take all you want and see, all that you need is me Ignite, inflame But don't hold back from the pain It comes down to these games Under blue sky Take back, tonight Take all you want and see, all that you need is me Take all you want and see, all that you need is me So take me back where I can bleed and let me see what I can't see I want more more more more More and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more and more!

It's not what you know It's what you can prove And now that you've had enough You wonder what to do A stranger by day A creature at night She's broken in two but still She's struggling for her spot We're rolling the dice and trying to fight to change other people's lives But morals are plastic, it's all in the past if We can ignore Unfit for her kin And knees deep in sin She's drunk, beaten, bruised and no one Else can seem to mind The thing that she craves: The attention of all Her intention is purely self-fulfilling Sociopathic reign We're rolling the dice and trying to fight to change other people's lives But morals are plastic, it's all in the past if We can ignore Throw your hands up We're rolling the dice

Threw away my keys today Goin out walkin on my two feet Had to find a way To clear my mind And I got nowhere to go And no time to get there See running hasn't got me too far And it leaves me no time to think So I'm goin back to the start To find my way home And I got nowhere to go And no time to get there

Woke up with a pain buried in my chest Try to catch my breath but it's less and less Much like when you wonder where the time has gone With attitudes increasing, unspoken odds There's panic in the homes as you blindly speak Of horoscopes and forecasts so incomplete Common ground we're struggling to finally seek To bring ourselves closer to our human needs Everyone will scream when they hear my name Everybody knows that it's not about fame The writing on the wall it remains unchanged Even though it's faded, it still burns the same I know that I can make it through 'Cause I'm feeling outstanding I know the truth is up to you And it's what we make it I know a person's heart can change And that's what I'm feeling It's time, Assimilate your mind Can I feel the comfort of a life long past? A bit of warmth emerging from our broken tasks? People hustle blindly towards rewarded treat Our life pursuits diminished by complacency Driven to ignore those who are clearly in need And fighting for a hardship that could force us to bleed Everything is measured in terms of green We're fucking over others for our personal greed and Everyone will scream when they hear my name Everybody knows that it's not about fame The writing on the wall it remains unchanged Even though it's faded, it still burns the same I know that I can make it through 'Cause I'm feeling outstanding I know the truth is up to you And it's what we make it I know a person's heart can change And that's what I'm feeling It's time, Assimilate your mind
