Alien Song (1999) Well I was driving late one night. It was just the radio and the dashboard lights. There were no other cars in sight. Just me and the stars above that were shining. Like a million eyes. That watch over me as I pass along into dawn. Waiting for the sun. There will be no end in time. Well I didn't know where I was. And the map I had could only tell me that I was lost. There was something above that I'd never seen before. Heading down with the lights a-glow. I pushed the pedal harder but the car never wanted to go. On the day that the earth stood still in Roswell, New Mexico. I saw them there. Over the USA. And I was going down when the sky cracked today. Just look up high. They've got to be up in the sky.

All American (2008) Let's go . You know . Before everybody shows . I didn't want to dance . And I didn't want to go . And I really hate these clothes . Well you've got your dress . And you've got your friends . You can find your own way home . My friends and I are leaving . To go get coffee up the road . French toast . And apple pie a la mode . Things are going to get worse before they get better . And I'm sure these things I did probably upset her . But things are going to get worse . Next day . I paid . Her mother called the house to say . That her daughter had walked home . From prom all alone . And on top of that it rained . Well my father was so mad . He wanted to beat my ass . And my mother was so ashamed . She said "Son, why did you do that?" . And there was nothing I could say . Or explain . Except I hated prom anyway . And I know those things I did . They all upset her . But things are going to get worse . They always do

Alright (1999) I regret the other night. I don't know if what I did was right. I've been looking at the past so long that the future might be right but it still seems wrong. Walking through the city on a cloudy day. A thousand words in my head but not one I could say. Minutes ticking by like a countdown bomb. Never knew a second could ever last this long. But hey, I'm alright. I've just been looking through smoke stained eyes. And you just happened to catch me at the time I'd gone off track, but now I'm coming back. Never thought that this would happen. Never bet on this. Close your eyes for a second and look at all you miss. Putting back the puzzle pieces one by one. Watch the fire burning like a midnight sun. Well I want to rise like that spark to the sky but I don't want to burn out before I die. Not every choice I made was right but I'll look at this with open eyes. Never thought that I would get this far. Never thought that I would land so hard. Never thought that I would break in two. Never thought that I would fall for you. Never thought that I would lose control. Never thought that I would lose my soul. Never thought that I would ever change. Guess I'm never going to think again. I'll never ever think again.

Apology To You (2004) Got to stop and turn around . Everything that I have ever hoped for has not worked out . And I can't make it change . So I just walk around this tired town . Hang my head ashamed . I could have been smarter . I realize what I had . I should have tried harder . Hindsight shows you that . It would have been good . That may have been so . But how was I to know? . Now it's all messed up . And even though I put my best foot forward . It's still not enough . Too little too late . Now I've got nothing but time on my hands . I just contemplate . When you fall from grace . It's a long way down . Not showing my face . Around this town . I will live with this choice forever . Too late to change that now . Why did I…? . I think why did I…? . This is my apology . This is my regret . This is my apology to you.

Beachhead (2004) We should storm the beachhead now . We've only got one day . And the summer's almost gone . And I won't waste it . So we will leave today . All my friends . They all know the way . And if you leave tonight . Let the coastal lighthouse be your guide . Doesn't seem like long ago . When I first asked you to go . Said you didn't think you had the time . So I said ok, not today . We can go separate ways . Dreaming of the day . When I used to call you mine all mine . I walked on the beach till the sun went down . Seemed strange that you weren't around . Made me feel so far from home . Laying underneath the moon . And the stars that shone . Thinking I am all alone . Don't think I've ever been so down . I'm not 23 . Or the guy I used to be . I've got my scars of age . I'm wearing on my sleeve . And there is only one day . Till this rain that never ends . Want to spend it . With my friends . What happened to baby jane? . Now that summer is gone. . Strange how certain people change . Like the night turns to dawn . And when I look back . At my heart . I used to see a fire . But it went dark . Now I see a spark.

Big City, Small Scene (2008) I'm done with waiting . These walls have been closing in . But I'll try pushing back this time . This scene's reached saturation . Three degrees of separation . It's all that stands between me . And the guy you're now seeing . This town's a revolving door . More than we bargained for . It's just the same pool . Of beggars thieves and liars . But it's a . Big city, small scene town . I want to burn it down . I'll see it all consumed by fire . I can count on one thing . Every time I turn around . I'll be running into you . Every bar . Every show tonight . Will be a person from a prior time . I'm done believing . If you close your eyes . It's gonna be alright . Here's to seeing you again . In the same pool of old friends . And everything that I try to do . Or tried to say . Is all coming back in spades . So we've gone our separate ways . But in every crowd I can see your face . I need my space and I need time

Bloodline (2004) Stand back this is gonna be good . Deep in the woods . Have you seen . The full moon's out and the change it brings inside of me? . We're gonna get our due . We're howling at the moon . We are the lupis lycan kind . We are an old bloodline . We are the bloodline . Those who dare walk woods alone should know . That there is truth . To the stories of the youth . It keeps them out of hungry hands . From the beasts that hunt these lands on shadowed eves . Tavern owners know . They told you not to go . That there are nights . When you draw those curtains tight . Keep the fire burning bright . And heed that gypsy woman's words: . "Even a man who is pure at heart . And says his prayers by night . May become a wolf when the wolf's bane blooms . And the autumn moon is bright" . When frost forms on the fields . We'll sense your heat through chill . We're moving in to kill . You know we will.

Brand New Faces (1999) A million days have passed since I was in high school. A million days but all my memories remain. I look back at all those days and wonder if I could ever go back would it still be the same? Too late for that. I can't go back. And try if I may, my face shows my age. Those days in college always seemed to fly by. Me and my friends doing everything but what we should. A lot has changed in those few years. I hope my future stills looks as good. 1991, under a setting southern sun. That shines down on me. In a memory. The other day I drove to Vancouver. I went to go see one of my friends. He said do you ever talk to Paul or Heather? Said I haven't in a while but I would like to again. And I'd love to back and visit all these places, but it would be brand new faces.

Change (1994) looking down to the street below. pushed me farther than i want to go. my steel heart has begun to rust. things i touch they just turn to dust. out of the bottle and in my head. drink so much that i should be dead. there's a fire and it burns inside. you can run but you cannot hide. girl i know you don't want to try. every time that you speak you lie. not listening to you anymore. heard all of this shit before. can't lift this weight that holds me down. can't seem to escape this town. where i go you are always there. you still love me but i don't care. think you're cool and you think it's fine to be the last one in your line. now i know that you won't be mine. now i know that it's the time for a change. change of mind. change of view. change to someone else but you. so don't look at me hey baby now. so sick of being pushed around. i know that i could bring you down if i could get my head off the ground. cause i was once just an empty shell. but i escaped from the flames of hell. for some reason keep on jumping back. my heart is about to crack. can't seem just to make it end. can't seem just to find a friend. i've been hurt too many times to count. and i know that the odds are beginning to mount against me. you against me. them against me. all against me. and it's killing me.

Condescend (1999) Me and my girl. We walk down the beach. I always thought that she'd be just out of my reach. You know that girl. She's an american beauty queen. I wonder what she's doing with an ugly guy like me. And they can condescend. Just like the falling rain. But we're on the tail of a shooting star. A shooting star that's never seen again. I saw that angel on a Monday afternoon. Carrying her books on her way home from school. I said don't be afraid. I'm not the monster that I seem. Let's get on this rocket ship and we can share a dream. Baby hold on. Here comes the hereafter. Will it take long? Well I have the answer. It's no. A thousand miles an hour puts us there Saturday. And maybe we can start today.

Creature Double Feature (2008) Way back in the 70s . Was a great show on TV . Two movies not to miss . On Channel 56 . Attack of The Giant Leech . The War Gods of The Deep . The Beast With a Million Eyes . The Brain That Wouldn't Die . Creature Double Feature . It showed me many worlds . That I had never seen . With vampires, monsters, robot men . And strange alien beings . The Pit and The Pendulum . The Battle Beyond The Sun . Atom Age Vampire . The Man With X-Ray Eyes . I watched them all the time . They probably warped my mind . I spent my early childhood . Tuned to WLVI . Now they've all gone away . I miss them to this day . Cause TV doesn't ever show The films of yesterday . It Came From Outer Space . Then watch King Kong Escapes . Incredible Shrinking Man . Curse of The Mummy's Hand . Night of The Blood Beast . Mad Doctor of Market Street . And oh, those Savage Bees . The Terror Beneath The Sea

Crushed v2.0 (2002) There's a girl, know what she's thinking about. When she locked me in and then she let me out. And I saw the whole world burning down in a dream I had last night. When it burns away, I'll be alone that night. Can't get close but can't get pushed away. And I've had some good times in this town but nothing will help that now. I saw her once but now I'm seeing red. I wish she'd stop fucking with my head. Pack of matches in my hand, burning down the world. Better think two times before running around cause I ain't got a thing to show that I've been down the darker road. And I can show you all I know.

Day Of The Dead (2002) I'm walking down the street, the world is trembling in my wake. This tired city's filled with the zombies that I hate. Look out I've got a gun. Everybody better try and run. You kill a walking corpse with a bullet to the brain. Today is the day. Day of the dead. I try to close my eyes and pretend it's all a dream. The undead want to eat this brain inside of me. I've gotta get away if it's the last thing that I do. When I'm in times like this I think "what am I gonna do? What would Justin do?"

Dead Air (2004) It's been a long time since I last saw the sunrise . I boarded up the door when I first heard the news . There was a breaking story live on channel two . It warned of danger . It warned of doom . One night the lights went dark . The world started burning . I can't take it no more . I tried to write our story here by candlelight . Is there hope for humankind? . God only knows . The moment has arrived . It's time to live or die . Let's unlock the door and face what waits outside . Tonight . They're not taking us alive . This war began the day the dead started walking . I'm not going like that . I've been here too long to just die here on my knees . Oh baby will you please help me unshore this door . I've got some bullets for this pistol . Down to my last few . But I've saved one for me . And I've saved one for you . It's just you and me . It's time for both of us to think back to the fun we used to have . When we both would dance the two-step . When we'd both sit back and laugh . But I have grayed these past few days and the signal has faded out . I've brought the last of the supplies . Got you by my side . And who knows what we'll find . When we head out tonight . Is anybody listening? Is anybody out there? . Once I had a signal, all I've got is dead air tonight . This signals signing off . This station is going off the air.

Dead End Road (2008) Close your eyes . I'm awake I can drive . Dim the rearview mirror . Watch the sun . Turn into darker sky . Along the way . We've had brighter days . But this night is mine alone . 'Til the sun burns the stars away . Tonight we ride . Everything we own is packed inside . And my heart is still thinking about . The ones we left behind . We are the remaining few . We've gone a thousand miles . In the last day or two . These days weigh heavy . On my mind . Past 24 hours . Is a lifetime all alone . But every highway sign . Points back to home . Do you remember when . We said that we would meet again? . Must have been a year or two . Now where are you my friend? . Jack of Diamonds . Jack of Clubs . You bet on things like that . It's going to mess you up . Not counting on anything this time . Past 24 hours . Is a lifetime all alone . But tonight I'm headed down . This lonely highway . And I'm headed home . What will it be like . When I get there? . You know I'm almost home . Will it be everything . That I have planned? . Are you there waiting all alone? . Will you remember . What I look like dear? . Been a long and lonely road . Or will you have left . For another man? . There's only 10 more miles to go . I've been crossing off . The weeks and days . All one by one . But now I'm standing here . But you have gone . Gone . Many things have changed . When I left did you even wait a day? . Or did you leave without the guts to say . That I'd be heading back today . Along this one way dead end road? . This one way dead end road . And I'm driving all alone

Destination: Space (2004) Everything is ready . Got my spacesuit on . I'm sitting on the pad and I'm reading for launch . And I have been crossing off a list that I couldn't forget . But there's still one thing that I haven't done yet . So I picked up the phone to see if you were home . Want to talk to you one last time . To say I'm off to search for life . But I just want to say goodbye . I've got such a long way to go . And I can't stay here in this place . Destination: space . I've been looking back at all the places I've been . And I may never get this chance again . So I'm sitting in this rocket . Pointed at the sun . Countdown sequence 4-3-2-1 . It's not that I want to leave . It's just I gotta believe . That there's something more out there . And for what it's worth . From the curve of the earth . I can see you wave goodbye . And if you look up to the sky . Know I'm way up high . I'll think of you as I float by . So baby please don't cry . I'll be fine.

Dial Tone (2008) Well I got a call from you the other day . We exchanged the basic pleasantries . Like "How are you?" . "Okay" . But I could tell just from the tremble in your voice . That you were not really happy . Never had a choice . When times were right . I was always wrong . A piece was always lost . I never had the time to complete the song And when you left that night . I continued on . And here I am today . Holding on to you via telephone . Now all I've got . Is dial tone . Well you never really told me why you called . Maybe it was just to show me . That this was all my fault . Because I know the thought has often crossed my mind . And when you wanted to move forward . I got scared and left behind . Just so you know . Should never have let you go . So say I told you so And I have often cursed the day that . I lost you from my life . And I will often count the ways that . I could have made things right . And then as I hung up the phone . I thought how this still hurts . But maybe someday you'll come home . And maybe someday . I will find the words

Everybody (2002) Everybody's got something they want. Everybody's got something they want to do, but everybody's just sitting here wondering what to do. I've been watching them for some time and I've been seeing all the warning signs. Not leaving you here to die. We've got a lot of work to do. Don't be the weakest one. We've got a lot of ground to gain. I hope you're ready to run. We've got a lot to talk about. I hope you speak your mind. We've got a lot to think about. I'll give you all my time. We're all a portion of the total sum. Stronger together than we are as one. Help each other get further along. Come on. How many here know what I'm talking about? You know we couldn't scratch the surface without. To change a situation gotta stand up and shout. And everyone is waiting for the word that brings upon the changes to this world. But if we do, it's all at once. Together or not at all. But if we try know I won't let you fall.

Five Across The Eyes (2002) You think this is a joke. I'll make you eat your words until you fucking choke. You'll be crying "mommy, mommy, please take me home". You're looking for your friends but you're here all alone. You're buring your last bridge. Went ahead and made your bed now it's time to sleep in it. Never saw no early warning. Never saw no sign. Now everytime you move your lips I know you're fucking lying. You know I don't like songs like this. But I saw what you did and I got so damn pissed. You're crying "mommy, mommy, please take me home". You've backstabbed all your friends. Enjoy the long walk home. You'd better not forget every word I know you said. Can't take you anymore. If you come around once more you'll have a war.

Gave Out (1996) when they gave out, you couldn't understand it. when they gave out, you thought that you knew everything. but when they came around you lived your life so willing, and when they came around you watched it all disappear from you one day. and when they gave out you thought that you were on the top of the world. but when they came around you took it all for granted. now you're left all alone and you're stranded. would you let me in your head? and you were set in your ways and you're planted. but they turned on you instead. and summer turns to colder winds and the blue skies turns to gray. and you thought that you'd never see such things. the sun burns out today. when they gave out, the world turned around and you lost along the way. and you watched it burning down. echoes in the empty hallway. burn it down to the ground. cause everything that you ever had is gone. and she said baby why do you want to live your life like that? do you want to leave me? do you want to leave me just like that?

Ghosts Of Monochrome (2002) Hey would you like to come with me? We'll sneak in for free, and we will stay the night. Turn the lights down low for our own private show. Everything's alright. You are my favorite girl, witness to this war of worlds. Collision of two cultures that fade into the night. We're here in living color with the ghosts of monochrome. We'll bring this movie theater back to life. We'll turn this water into wine. Travel back in time. We'll make this a night that will never leave your mind. And I look in your eyes, know everything's alright, I wish this could last forever. Yeah I know you're probably scared, but I've come prepared. I've brought my light. As we head into the storm, I will keep you warm. Just hold on tight. Put your arms around me. We'll hide out in the lobby. Make sure we're safely out of sight. We are the only ones, hiding from the sun. We're children of the night. We are the only ones. We are the only ones who see the ghosts of monochrome. Watching over us until dawn, they're gonna last forever. They'll take us safely through the night. And I look in your eyes, know everything's alright. I know that we will transcend time.

Go For Broke (2004) We've been laying low waiting . Taking shelter from the storm . Winter days are finally getting warm . What doesn't kill you makes you stronger . I have heard some say . I will test that theory everyday . There comes a point when failure is like a poison in your veins . No time like the present to make that change . So yeah, the sun is sinking low . We're gonna go for broke . We're hitting with left and right . Won't go without a fight, alright . Try to shut us down . But you can't snuff us out . Burning bridges lead to burdens I don't want to bear . Someday they may leave you stranded here . There's an open road that's calling . Got room for one more . This ship is sailing for a different shore . We won't let you . They won't let you . You can't shut us down.

Golden Road (1999) On a gray overcast day. I walked into the rain. Just to let it cool off my face. Just to let it cool off my mind. As I passed under the bridge, I hung out with some kids. We talked about the city and we talked about our lives. I said hello, goodbye, hello, where did your halo go? Did it fall off your head? Did you lose the golden road? And I said sorry my friend I think it's time for me to go. But I'll see you tomorrow if you're here at all. And we talked about their dreams. I hope they all come true. And the stories that they shared will not be forgotten soon. I look for them when I pass. I passed by yesterday. But I don't see them at all. I think the rain washed them away.

Great Unknown (2008) It's good to see your face . Again my friend . When I knocked on your heart . Did you let me in? . You never know anything . 'Til you try it . But if you don't want me around . Well don't make a sound . I will count on you girl . You will let me down . Said my heart had not hit the ground . I'd be lying . Say baby it's a long way home . It's a ride in the great unknown . She said, "I want to see you again" . The fade of the sun . Waning of the moon . When you count on change . You've got a lot to prove . You said I'll never do that to you . Again either . So put your head on my chest . We'll go to sleep . Every promise I said . I will always keep . Laying here next to me . When you're tired

Holiday (2002) My girlfriend said she can't see me again. In the time I've been gone she's made all new friends. So we talked on the phone for an hour or two. We said our final goodbyes and our I love you's and now I don't feel like going home for the holidays. Baby let me look at you. It must have been a year or two since I last laid eyes on you. Time's been on your side. But what ever happened to this town? The place I grew up in all seems so run down. Mom I'm coming home, cause if I stay here I'll spend New Year's alone. So hey, here's to holidays. Do it one last time if that's alright. My friend Chris got caught in the machine. He never had the chance to realize his dreams. Susan put a bullet in her own brain and I always knew her father was the one to blame. Now I don't feel like going home for the holidays.

Hollywood (2002) If I'm gonna believe in something, might as well be something good. But you know that's awfully hard when you see a scene like Hollywood. She came here looking for a dream. She'll be lucky if she can find a vein. Just how long will this story go? We won't know. As we walk the star-lined streets bathed in neon light. And everything we see is a carbon copy of this world. Will we make it out alive? Is this what you came to see? Is this what you hoped to be? Have I done all that I could? Fuck Hollywood. It's gonna be great. It's gonna be good. It was gonna be everything I knew it would. But now there's nothing here that could make me stay another day in Hollywood.

He said "baby, baby, don't be cruel." The Kelvis walks at night. Kill! Kill! Kelvis Kill!

Lonely (2008) I can feel it coming down . Like a black cloud . Heading right at me . I am still sleeping with your memory . But this time I have finally pushed you . Now I might lose you . Never did mean to . What was I thinking all this time? . This could be love . I'm lonely . Lonely . These years of lust . Have built up in my heart . But it's too close to call . Is this worth repeating? . I could turn it around . For the best girl I have found . I remember every word when she told me . Well it has come to this . I guess I better get used to it . I know that I told you I loved you . But it felt like I used you . But I never did mean to . What was I thinking all this time? . I believed in me . Believed in you . I know that you have been forced to choose . Those words still burning inside my mind . Tonight . When I said I will never leave you . You said, "I don't believe . No, I don't believe you"

Lost At Sea (2004) This crew of 40 hands . Heading for uncharted lands . Old maps and plans warn of . Sirens and sea serpents . By night we sail . Headed through storm gust and gale . We are no strangers . To sharks, pirates, other dangers . But this ship is going down . Something off the starboard bow . The crew calls out to Davey Jones . They say "We're headed home" . It won't be long . There's a calm before the storm . And old sailors songs . Speak of dragons, sunken Spanish galleons . Lost without a trace . Disappearing beneath the waves . Red sky this morning . Always been an old time sailor's warning . This ship is going down . Something off the starboard bow . All hands abandon ship except the captain . He said "I'm going down with it" . And we will not be saved . From this watery grave . Bodies to the sea . Swallowed by the leagues . This ship's headed home . Call to Davey Jones . Can you hear the sound? . It's the rattle of the dead ship going down . Rising water filling up our lungs . Sea has come to reclaim all her sons . And as we fade beneath these churning waves . We will not be saved . Going down . We're going down.

Love & War (2004) You're always on my back . I'm always at your throat . I can't take it anymore . You know I love you dear . But now it seems so clear . This isn't what we're working for . And push has come to shove . And our once kindled love . Has been dragged right through the mud . And every night I hear you crying . I lie awake at night . Because I know that things ain't right . And I think of all the times we had . Before we used to fight . But this ain't working . Give it up, give it up . So what are we trying for? . These last few years confirm my fears . That it ain't gonna work no more . I agree with you . I know every word is true . And although this hurts me deep inside . It's something I must do . Said I have seen this coming for sometime . I'm not going to argue with you tonight . I don't know what we're fighting for . I am pulling out, retreating from this war . I have been waiting . Waiting for the day, waiting for the word . When you come explaining . Telling me that "Hey, this ain't gonna work" . She said "I love you baby, more than anything . I want a person who makes me a priority . I'm sick of living with someone that I never see . This band, your job- they all will be the death of me . And this ain't gonna work no more" . It's love and war.

She keeps everything locked inside and she knows no one will ever find her there. Hang on for me and I will stand up to him for you. But you know there is only so much I can do. He sits at home and wonders what he did to make his dad so mad at him. He said "not like that, please not today" he's packing up before he moves away cause he knows there is a better life to find. Cause he's gotten burned and as far as he's concerned he ain't got the time that he can afford to lose, and she said "come along with me and we can drive towards the sea cause now on a day like today would you like to stay, would you love to stay?" He said some other day, but not today. He didn't know what he had done. He wished that he could turn and run. Said "everything I did, I did for you, there was only so much that I could do". He was so afraid about the choice he made. He could've left today but now he's here to stay. It's gonna be good, he knew she was right, he kept it all locked inside and now a day like today he didn't want to stay. He could've gone away. He could've left today, but there's just no way.

They will look for all the answers by asking why. But I ain't got the thing to tell them. When I learned I used my eyes and if I didn't know I never did cry. I went to the beach just the other day. I was playing in the sun. I was laughing in the waves. But on the days that it's raining or the days that it's gray, I don't sit inside. I still go out and play. So hey! Get up and move. There are so many things to just go out and do. No one ever found the answer just sitting in their room. And it might all be over soon.

Refuse To Be (2002) I'm not the guy you used to know. So your story goes. Well maybe so, but don't think I don't know the pain that comes with growing old. Cause I can say look at my face. You can see I'm not the same. I must refuse to be this thing that I've become. I have grown up to be what I'd hate when I was young. And I think back to the time, eighteen years old. When I felt I had a handle on the world. Now a dog that's past its day. State of decay. See my old friends and I hope they can relate. And when it gets too much to stand, that's when I got to buckle down and be a stronger man. And it seems the more I've changed, the more I felt I stayed the same, well ain't that strange. But everything I did, everything I still do, it's all for the same reasons that I hope are still true. But mirror can't you see who's that looking in on you? It's not me. So to all my friends I used to know, don't say I told you so. Just put your trust in me. I'll show you who I used to be. Not just some average guy, who wears a suit and tie. And you're not the only one who hates what I've become.

Rise Again (2004) At night I come alive . The moon is my mistress calling . Through the fog and the dim street light . I know you're not alone . From my perch I see inside . Your eyes a window to your soul . At night, bathed in light . Can't see what lies in wait for you . But I've got no choice . It's conflict resolution . Inside, one voice . It urges demons on . I will wait all night . Locked outside your door . Know that he's in your room . Know what he came here for . And I'll find a way inside . If you won't let me in . And you can shoot me down . But I will rise again . One shot straight through . The police respond with lights and siren . Yeah you've dropped me to my knees . But know my heart still beats for you . Intact, fading to black . But even if they bury me . You'll find an open grave . Right where I used to be . Like a phoenix from the flame . From a town without a name . My own disease . Eats to my bones . I'm cold and tired . Gonna die alone . Drop to my knees . Wait by my phone . This line is wired . But nobody's home . I have been waiting for this time to live . Or time to die . If you won't make this choice will this gun help you to decide? . Take my life . And the night will fill with fire . An eternal funeral pyre.

The boss said "Dave, you're looking tired . What do you do this for . If you're not getting signed?" . And I said . I have done my time . No one can say I never tried . And these have been the best years of my life . And I need something to believe in . So I raise my glass to you . And say "Thank you for supporting what we do" . I've always held on to a dream . And it still tastes so sweet . I would close my eyes and drift off into sleep . Starts with my friends and I . Driving around the countryside . And then I realized that this has . Come to be . I know there may come a day . When I will not have time to just . Drive around and play . But until that moment comes . I will be doing things my way . And I would like to take this time to say . I will remember these days . Long after times when I am old and gray . And if somebody ever asks me what this time was like . I'll just smile, and say . "The best years of my life."

Shaken (1999) You've been shaken by all the turns your life has taken. Picked off the ground and thrown back down. Now your fire just don't burn so bright no more. How does it feel to burn out? Tears in your eyes that you cannot hide. You've never stopped crying since the day he died. And you said it might be better if you pushed me aside. Now I feel so cold inside. Well if you want me to, I'd wait through time for you. I don't know why you did me wrong. I let you string me along. Because your eyes don't shine, but that will all heal in time. You've got to let things go if you want your love to show. Living is so easy when your eyes are closed. Then pain is just a feeling that you will never know. You said this was a problem that you couldn't control. Now there's no place left to go. A year and a half of my time wasted. Feelings of love can all turn to hatred. I could tell you all the answers that I now, but would you use them in a way to help you grow? I don't know.

Still The Same (1999) I said girl, don't cry. Because you know that I can stay up all night. By your side. There ain't nothing we can't talk about tonight. And it's ok, cause I'll be here to light your way. It's still the same. Sometimes I miss my dad. He was so stressed out that he almost had a heart attack. He never made it back. Still I can see him looking down in the clouds. Hey dad, did I ever make you proud, like I said I would someday? Still the same. The way it was years ago. I never had to be on my own. Hanging out with all my friends I've known so long. What would life be like if they were gone? Those days seem far away. When I was growing up all I ever wanted to do was play. And it's still that way even though I feel so much older. Why are you weighted down? We only got so long before we're buried in the ground. And I don't want to go out that way.

The Amazing Criswell (1999) You sit upon your throne of stone with the wolfman and the mummy. Come here, so near, Ghoulita dear. I think it's pretty funny. Well you went to the graveyard to write your book. I think you should slow down, Bob. But now you missed the turn though your lights were on and look where you've ended up. It's Orgy of the Dead. Worst movie that's ever been made. The sun is coming up and then it's right back in the grave. Said it's way back when in 1965. And she danced so well she will be kept alive. The wolfman would have you for his own. I promised the mummy a reward. But don't you fear you wouldn't be here if you hadn't wrecked your Ford. Throw gold at her. More gold, I say. Then throw her in the pot. You think it has boiled her to death but look again- has not! I saw the movie long ago. Now up to a hundred times. I have memorized every scene and I can quote every line. So put your hand over your heart and say the pledge with pride. The finest film Ed Wood did make is one long fucked up ride. I said it's way back when. Doesn't mean we can't do it again. Say baby, do you want to dance? I would if I had the chance but the sun came up. You have good luck. Its' light has saved your life. There's nothing left but bones and death so take Shirley to be your wife.

The Hills Have Eyes (2008) Hey there little baby . Car is waiting outside . I've got a blanket and a bottle . And a cooler of ice . A campsite in the desert . That no one will find . It's just us tonight . You take the old highway . To the maintenance roads . The ride is a little rocky . But I know we can go . A rusty sign is saying . It's a government zone . In New Mexico . These hills have eyes . I can see them . Watching me and you . You'd better stay right by my side . If we stay together . Might make it out alive . Just stay beside me here . We'll beat back . These creatures of the night . If you're coming little darling . Get the wind in your hair . I've got a pistol in the glove box . There's no need to be scared . I've got a map and had a tune up . And there's air in the spare . I always come prepared . You seem a little nervous . There's no reason to be . The things that frighten children . Are like family to me . The stories that you hear of . Are just lies on TV . But turn around you'll see . Driving through the desert night . So many stars you could kill the lights . Only the canyons know we're here . This is the kind of night I dream of . A place to cleanse your sins . And the things we shouldn't speak of . Are closing in . I can feel your heartbeat start increasing . Pulse is pounding fear . And there's no point left in leaving . They know we're here . Stay close my dear . You can look around and see . They don't want us to leave . Just come a little closer . I'll keep you safe with me

'Til Death (2008) I know that you are often alone . When I am out on the road . You're probably lonely when . I'm not at home . You've had to shoulder . Most of the load . I said all my life . I've been so busy . And that's not right . To make you miss me . So tomorrow night . I've got a plan . We will camp out on the ocean . Until the sun comes up again . I can't help but remember . As the years go by . We're still together . We will be here forever . Stay with me . Don't you ever leave . Isolation can start wearing you down . Travels taking its toll . Don't mean to hurt you . By not being around . Because I know you wanted someone . To have and to hold . Let me say . Starting tomorrow . We will make a change . To lose the sorrow . We'll be on our way . To regain . The feeling that we had . When we met back in the day . So I sneak in late at night . Won't turn on the light . Whisper in your ear . To tell you I'm home . And if you don't wake . That's ok . Because you need your sleep . You've had a long day . And we've got the rest of our lives . To go out and play . So we should go away . Get out of the city . Take a few days . Tomorrow if you're ready . I will do anything . That you ask me to

Tina (2002) Baby it's good to be seeing you again. I'm sorry about the shape I'm in. Ground hasn't been too kind. I've got quite a tale to tell. I hope you can stand my smell. Need a minute of your time. Leaving way too soon, but I remember promising you I'd be back the next full moon and my words came true. Please don't look at me that way. Thinking night and dawn and day. Seeing things I can't explain. Six feet between us- more than I could stand. Please take a hold of my skeleton hand. Let's go walking in the rain. I just can't stand the pain. Tina can I pick your brain? There must be something in this rain. Will I ever make you see just how much you mean to me? Now you've locked me out again. Tina, Tina let me in. Can't you see you just can't win? But I've got the time, and you've got the time and when you're ready I'll be right outside. Baby, baby I love you so. Got nowhere else to go. Why do you always run and hide? I just can't stand the pain. Tina can I eat your brain? There must be something in this rain.

T-Minus (2008) You said I need to write . A song just for you . Well that's exactly what I've done . This time the topic . May not be one that suits you . Let's put it through . A trial run . Now it's T-Minus 3 . Minus 2 . Minus 1 . Starting to live . Starting to take form . Give and you get . Then you rise like the sun . It faded away . Nightfall is coming on . Your words can stab me like a stake . That's sticking through my heart . This love is cutting like a blade . More than before . I thought that I could walk out your door . But you kept getting in my way . And better things . Have all been withering . And better times . Have gotten further from my mind . And we should separate . It's what we've got to do . Before it gets too late . And we say the things we don't mean to . I wouldn't if I were you . I remember thinking . Back so long ago . I hope I have the strength . To see this through . You can look out of your window . You can turn and face away . But I think we both know . It's the truth . You said things have been so crazy . Yeah we're both so very tired . At least you know that I have always tried . Or we could come to terms . With who we are . Call it good and say our last goodbyes . Yeah we could call it off . And we could put it down . We should box it up . And bury it deep inside the ground . We could walk away . Turn and let it go . So we don't regret the day . That we met . And decided to say hello . Hello

ULS (1997) Well if you're heading down to Asheville you'd better watch your back. Cause there's a man in a band, a little punk rock man, that gets the scene off track. You want to play in Chapel Hill. You'd better think again. Because their scene is so cool that they got no room for you they won't let you in. Takes only one song and you'll be wondering what went wrong. Looking for the logic behind it all. No one ever told me that there would be days like this. And I can't even look, cause I was falling down. But if you're heading up to PA I've got a band for you. Jason and his friends are going to help you out. They're the Lost Cause crew. And everywhere you want to go, and where you want to play, well we're scraping up the money to put the gas in the van but that's ok. Cause if you wait too long, you'll be wondering what went wrong. Playing for no money. But that's ok. And our van is barely running, but if it wasn't doing that it wouldn't be the fucking same.

Ultravixens (2008) She-Devils on Wheels have always been my favorite fascination . I always fall for hell on heels . Russ Meyer vixens fuel my ultra-violent imagination . As they play out on movie reels . Now I've come to find that I've got one by my side . And we are rolling into town leaving a trail of death behind . You see us coming detter turn away . You don't say anything . You don't get in our way . She is bringing the heat . She's a demon trailing fire down the street . Yeah she's with me . Those sixties sirens are armed with knives and dressed in leather . They made a point of looking good . Stiletto style and miniskirts no matter what the weather . They terrify the neighborhood . Oh here she comes . She's looking straight from Hollywood . Goddess of the screen . When you see her on the street . Do you know just what I mean? She a killer on the loose and she's walking in jack boots . Don't you look her in the eye unless you want to die

Waving Goodbye (2004) Heading out into the night . All of us are dressed in black . And we're piled in Eric's ride . As we drive from house to house . We're scoping each one out . Wondering what we'll take from their garden . Running down the road . We've taken all your gnomes . Never been a rhyme or reason why . Looking at your lawn . You notice they're all gone . All your gnomes are now becoming mine . And we're waving goodbye . Thinking back when we were kids . All those crazy things we did . And somehow got away with it . Yet I find it odd somehow . Cause even at my age now . I am still tempted to steal them . In the morning when the sun comes up . You will see our footprints by your shrub . And all those gnomes you paid good money for . Have gotten up and walked right out your door . And now we're after more . We are taking them . We are taking them all . And we're waving goodbye . Goodbye.

You're Better Than (1999) well i could see from far away what you were about to say today. i could see it in your actions. i could see it in your eyes. well you want to turn your life around but you don't think of those that you're dragging down. say it's just a gut reaction, but it's something i despise. did you ever stop to think about the things you did? you're still a fucking loser if you have to cheat to win. and all those times you spent benefiting only yourself while i'm falling down. you're better than all of the them. you go out drinking and you fight fight fight. seem to do the same thing every night. and you say you ain't got a problem. it's something that you like to do. your friends try to help you now all the time, but they're just a waste of time to you. stack the deck to beat the odds so everything goes your way. if you keep on playing games like that you'll lose it all someday. but you'll keep playing that game to end, it's something i don't want when you backstab your friends. and when you try sometimes you just might find that it never goes away. you're better than all of them.
