And I’m Going To…
And I’m going (to)
And I’m going to
Some place in the hills
And I’m going to
Set up my still
And I’m going to
Cook it until
And I’m going to
Take some pills
And I’m going to
Have a laugh
And I’m going to
Smoke some green grass
And I’m going to
Pass some gas
And I’m going to
Refrain from that
And I’m going to
Find a stray cat
And I’m going to
Start wearing a hat
And I’m going to
Get into the pit
And I’m...
And I’m going to
Some place in the hills
And I’m going to
Set up my still
And I’m going to
Cook it until
And I’m going to
Take some pills
And I’m going to
Have a laugh
And I’m going to
Smoke some green grass
And I’m going to
Pass some gas
And I’m going to
Refrain from that
And I’m going to
Find a stray cat
And I’m going to
Start wearing a hat
And I’m going to
Get into the pit
And I’m...

Never be Better
There is a strong sense it’ll never be better
Not feeling bound by time or anything
Trying to fit into this madness we’re all living in
Ghosts are chasing me where do i run to
The bottom of the bottle numbs what i truly feel
Stayin in the zone of zombies trying to to break free of what’s killing me
The overall effect is truly the end game 3 is the answer the question is the same
Strong sense it’ll never be better
Country of immigrants with a tall Green Lady
Torch n Flame
Give me tired and scared and too poor to...
Not feeling bound by time or anything
Trying to fit into this madness we’re all living in
Ghosts are chasing me where do i run to
The bottom of the bottle numbs what i truly feel

The overall effect is truly the end game 3 is the answer the question is the same

Drunkard's lament
INSIDE ROARE
Drunkard's lament
The sun is burning today,
I'm thirsty.
There's nowhere to go for a drink.
The asphalt was already flowing,
I'll carry my thirty tons further.
Suddenly, as Fata Morgana stood there.
The old non-stop bar, where did it come from.
I, the fool, wanted to drink water too,
I didn't have to be here with you and drink.
Beautiful girls,
eyes empty as my glass.
Legs straight as a wire in concrete,
I only see a white clone.
The old non-stop bar, it's not a gift.
The old...

Hitchhiker
INSIDE ROARE (2000)
Hitchhiker
1) You wave in vain, no one stops,
the car's headlights shine through the drops.
But they have a different direction, go back.
You're a fool who wants to see the world.
R) Go back, go back.
Your conscience is telling you.
Life is short, life is short.
You're supposed to enjoy it.
You fool, you want to make it.
But you don't want to just dream about it.
2) You're soaked to the skin,
your feet hurt like you're going to fall.
Well, where are you going, you don't know.
Just...

Peace x Piece
Hey baby,
i’m just trying to be your peace.
I know I can be wild sometimes,
I was never the one to accept
the collar or the leash.
I’d rather you be home
with me,
than out there
in them streets..
the ones that don’t care for you
but welcome you like it’s home
and i’m really just sitting here thinking
this is straight up off the dome..
i can be in a room full of people
yet i feel so alone
my vibrations are untethered
i’ll never ever put my best foot forward
for a motherfucker who...

The Yule Cat
You must know of the Yule Cat
That feline mighty and long
No one knew from where he came
Or to where he had gone
He'd stare at you with intent
Of his burning desire
It was hardly for anyone
To gaze into that fire
His whiskers stiff as needles
A hump on his black back
And the claws on his furry paw
Would surely take you aback
He leaps he claws and hisses
He swings his mighty tail
Sometimes out on the ness
At others in the dale
He'd roam hungry and vicious
On frozen Christmas ground ...
That feline mighty and long
No one knew from where he came
Or to where he had gone
He'd stare at you with intent
Of his burning desire
It was hardly for anyone
To gaze into that fire
His whiskers stiff as needles
A hump on his black back
And the claws on his furry paw
Would surely take you aback
He leaps he claws and hisses
He swings his mighty tail
Sometimes out on the ness
At others in the dale
He'd roam hungry and vicious
On frozen Christmas ground ...

Only for your love
INSIDE ROARE
Only for your love
Only in your love, only in your love,
I don't believe in anything, everyone lies to me.
Only in your love, only in your love,
Whisper into your hands.
What more could I have, perhaps to listen,
Whose heart beats harder. Not just to lie to yourself.
What more could I have, truth or lies.
You can't dodge this, do whatever you want.
And yet I know that your hand will caress me.
Only in your love, only in your love,
I don't believe in anything, everyone lies to me.
Only in your love,...
Only for your love
Only in your love, only in your love,
I don't believe in anything, everyone lies to me.
Only in your love, only in your love,
Whisper into your hands.
What more could I have, perhaps to listen,
Whose heart beats harder. Not just to lie to yourself.
What more could I have, truth or lies.
You can't dodge this, do whatever you want.
And yet I know that your hand will caress me.
Only in your love, only in your love,
I don't believe in anything, everyone lies to me.
Only in your love,...

Sad Memories
We had a good run
We made it a good while
Then things just sorta fell apart
You know, we had our share of trials
No matter how we tried to get our problems resolved
We had to watch as all we had just sort of dissolved
When I look at the past
Wondering if it's possible to make love last
I gotta say no thank you please
Cause I got nothing left but sad memories
Nothing Left but sad memories
Sometimes memories hurt, sometimes they cause me pain
But then sometimes they make me want to love again
Sometimes I think...
We made it a good while

Someday Soon
Desperation fuels chaos in the streets
While false idols continue to make war
Honest poets keep writing the receipts
That’s right we’ve been keeping score
Someday soon judgment catches us all
Pride hits hardest when forced to crawl
Evil people are cowards speaking in lies
Hiding behind wealth enslaved by greed
There is no light inside such barren eyes
Gotta block the signal then cut the feed
Someday soon love will restore our grace
Build us a world far away from this place

Sweet Nothings that are Everything
I find myself longing for change
Yesterday is a closing door
I seek the highest mountain range
Where my heart is free to soar
Somewhere out there, where dreams come true
A thousand miles seems pretty far
I am capable now, now that I found you
To wish upon a great bright star
I knew I loved you before I met you
I knew you were waiting for me
Take my hand, take my whole life too
We were drawn together by destiny
Everybody wants to be understood
Hold on and don't shed a tear
We will have it good, the life...

(Man In Black) Tethered to my Body by a Johnny Thread
(Man in Black)Tethered to my body by a Johnny thread
Been poppin pills
Til the sun rises
Cash is in trouble
Can’t walk the line
It’s in a cave
In Tennessee
Fighting the demons
Heroin numbs him
June comes along
He can’t resist
His secret crush
She’ll save him
Folsom prison blues
San Quentin too
But my name is Sue
How do you do
Rosanne said daddy you gotta
Go to Betty Ford
Can’t have this no more
The man in black
She said no more
...
