To France! 03:36
I’m gonna wake up, way up I’m gonna stand out and stand up For me and forever I’ll freak out, break down I’ll break down and freak out And reach back to find out I’m run down, not running I’m sunken, not sunning It’s warm, it’s not safe To be singing, I’m needy Don’t seek me, I’m sinking It’s warm, and I’m drinking Red wine colors me inside Red wine colors me inside Red wine colors me inside Red wine colors me inside I can’t change my mind; maybe it’s the wine C’mon! Let’s blow this place Say fuck off to the money game And sell the car and my guitar And blast off on a red-eye plane Breathe the air of a different place And pas-de-deux along with you At the Pont Neuf, Île de la cité With the stinky cheese, and the tortured meats and pass the bottle to all we meet I need this, I’m needy Don’t seek me, I’m seeking It’s warm and I’m drinking … Red wine colors me inside Red wine colors me inside Red wine colors me inside Red wine colors me inside I won’t change my mind; I tell you it’s the wine

She swung her shovel at my head I knew that she loved me It was very very touching The way that she touched my hair and Cried … shovel at her side I wanted to take cover She wanted to hold my hand and fly I … just wanna kiss That glitter lipstick I can taste the neuroleptics In the quiver of her lips Her glossy lips Let’s ditch the orderlies and fly Tonight ... we run outside We run and hide She say we gonna live forever And she’s a digging us a hole A deep, deep home She wanted to fall right in and fly

Distortion 04:16
And the record spins As she floats across the room Into his lonely tune And the arms of someone new Then the whiskey kicks in And the record skips again And the little boy within He goes on in And everybody’s screamin’ Why! The record spins another tune Strikes a chord of something new He pumps his fist and sings to you But he will never make his move Then the whiskey kicks in And the record skips again And the little boy within He goes on in And everybody’s screamin’ Why! And the needle hits the groove Changes speed and warps the room He’s watching from the corner booth She never sees him make a move Then the whiskey kicks in And the record skips again And the little boy within He goes on in And everybody’s screamin’ Why! Why! Why! Why!

Wake up sleepyhead It’s time to get up now It’s three in the morning And I know my way around This is one hour that you've never seen But I know where it hides Right between you and me And underneath the sky And we’re singin’ now Ba-ba, ba-da-ba / Ba-ba, ba-da-ba / Ba-ba, ba-da-ba / Ba, ba, ba Let’s take our clothes off Throw ’em on the lawn Show the jerks how to party And maybe they’ll follow along Maybe we’ll just mess around And drink up all the wine Dance the room and sing our tunes And shoot out all the lights And we’re singin’ now Ba-ba, ba-da-ba / Ba-ba, ba-da-ba / Ba-ba, ba-da-ba / Ba, ba, ba Wake up sleepyhead It’s time to get up now This is our greatest hour And you don’t wanna miss it now I’m not so in love with you That I’d let you sleep at all ’cause there’s a tune a-gatherin’ Inside my big ol’ heart

Thundercoat 08:28
What if I picked up the first round? It’s warm; the band’s on fire And what if you promised to stick around? I’ll get you drunk tonight And what if the whole bar would sing along? I need, need, need one more song What if we zip you up, and hold you strong? Please, please, please, one more song I need, need, need, one more song I need, need, need, one more song Please, please, please, one more song One more song …. One more song Just one more …

No Bongos 02:31
What’s wrong with the scene, I hear the hippies are back It’s a burnout, man, twirlin’ up from the ash I lost all my punk songs; let’s just write some new ones Drink a fifth of Makai, and drop a bomb on the building Like this … Let’s warm up the scene; let’s heat up these amps Let’s pick up brick and find something to smash See that empty pickup, let’s fill it with big amps Drive it right on the stage and invent this big jam Like this … Sent here to destroy you Sent here to destroy you Sent here to destroy you Like this …

No Sound 03:29
In space there is no sound Your words hang from your tongue Nothing comes near I don't hear them Under current I don't feel it My eyes are open I'm awake dreaming I hear your sigh No light - out of sight Hey, guess I'm in here Somewhere I hear

The world has always been sick, it has always been mean I’m not the first to say it’s how it’s gotta be Yeah, the world will always been sick, it’ll always been mean Even when I’m rotting underneath You go down to the water to wash your sins away But those same dark waters will carry me away You’ll still reach in, gather up a drink Even when I’m rotting underneath You might disagree You’re wrong and I’ll prove it now We been singing this song since the world was born And we’re still singing it now, singin’ now, singin’ now Yeah we’re singin’ The world has always been sick and mean / I’m not the first to say it’s how it’s gotta be The world will always been sick and mean/ Even when I’m rotting underneath You might disagree We’re fine and I’ll prove it now We’ve been singin’ since the world was born And we’re still singin’ now, singin’ now, singin’ now!
