Fire Ex Ver01 There's a new club in town, we don't know it Recomended by the DJ's Saturday night the spirits are high Cuz we're going to danger danger Walked in the bar, checked out the location Found a bunch of people we know Lil reserved, but the vibes were good Get ready to roll, cuz the place got soul Ref. (instr) Vers02 All of a sudden something exploded White fog in the whole dance hall Everyone out, air condition flat gone Sippin beer on the street, whut happened? Rumors confirmed, two bums were bored An' got hold o' the Extinguisher General confusion an'anger at those two But nonhazardous the call from the F.D. Ref. - - - - Fire extinguisher - - - - mixed it all up - - - - Fire extinguisher - - - - brought all the people - togehter (just vox no instr) Vers03 Give us 30 minutes, to roll on with the party Downstairs, please don't leave As the music was bangin', 'gain from the speakers All the odd people 'd already left Danger danger became, whut it's renowned for Buzz between Spears an' Iron Maiden We had it all that nite, rocking our hearts out On the dancefloor, were everything melted

Vers01 Hey listen girl, it ain't all just going down I see ya on the street, with ya can't-get-worse face on But I am smiling 'nto the sun Two meters from ya, I feel this day as good as the last Wehter I'm reading all alone, drinking coffee with a crowd Or the Rock'N'Roll show 'til I'm done And I want to feel same, to get a smile on ya face This life is way to short to hang on bad-thinking all day long Ya rather dance with me into (/around) the sun Cuz I got an image of you're life, when learn to concentrate Run a while, ya head begins, to change the minds in order Here an' now, a life ya to strive for change Ref It ain't all just going down The black holes you grow on, push ya up from the ground It ain't all just going down The black holes you grow on, push ya up from the ground Ver02 Hey listen boy, I want that drug ya smiling of Because I'm way to insecure with myself and the world Drown in black holes, can't see no sun I want my beds to be made, and my debts to be paid Loose the hysterical empty feeling I have deep inside of me Can't a nice boy start loving me? Solo Ref It ain't all just going down The black holes you grow on, push ya up from the ground It ain't all just going down The black holes you grow on, push ya up from the ground It ain't all just going down The black holes you grow on, push ya up from the ground It ain't all just going down We meet by the river, there's a lot to talk about

Vers01 The plane spit him out, back o the streets where he used to have good times 2000 miles away his life was buried He needed a break to come down Entered to a store, bought flip flpos an' beer An' an ol' country shirt. Went to a bar, joined some Honky Tonk band Then a girl cheered him an' said I like your style Ref Yeah, I'm the flip flop cowboy I just came out here to see whut's goin' on Yeah, I'm the flip flop cowboy I just came out here where I belong Vers02 I arranged some show, played in bands made sculptures an' been a photographer But it's like I can do, whatever I want I ain't noticed the way I need it It gives me peace an' it frees my soul Even beeing here in Music-City Perhaps my demon's have kept me busy Perhaps I've been to docile? Vers03 Now ya told me alot 'bout the flip-flop cowboy An' I guess it's time for a Two-Step(-Dance) It's the best thing to shake all ya demon's away They will be dizzy an' layin' numb on the dancefloor Meanwhile, how'd ya like to get a lil kiss From the dude called The F.F.C. Some demons come back, but ya tell 'em the rules You are the king of your house an'they are (just) visitors (going to C) Ref Yeah, I'm the flip flop cowboy I just came out here to see whut's goin' on Yeah, I'm the flip flop cowboy I just came out here where I belong Yeah, I'm the flip flop cowboy I just came out here to see whut's goin' on Yeah, I'm the flip flop cowboy I just came out here where I belong, somehow

Vers01 Once upon a time in a country, no map can ever find Lived a boy who had never felt the love, of a woman by his side Once upon a time in this country, lived a girl with a lil kid Seeking a love to last and to build a family No map in this dang country, could 'em lead to each other But two people in the whole universe, got hold o' one thought together And darkness in this country, made 'em think 'bout how to do this But hope comes with the ocean, like dreams to the sleeping Inn/Br 4x Vers02 Slow it comes down the winding road of life and destiny Nothing could ever hold it back, soft as a summer-breeze A chunky rock o' sugar, offered the frame for a first contact Cum to the dance it hollered at 'em, when suddenly they met Both had a nice time talking, from dusk 'til the dawn As they left there wus no huggin', no kiss 'n' no number He only knew her name; she had a kid, an' her sparkle & shine She wus about to find a way, to join his next show in town Ref. Slow it starts, slow it grows along the way 'til it's strong enough to carry a thing like a raising Family Slow it starts, slow it grows along the way 'til it's strong enough to carry a thing like a raising Family Inn/Br 4x??? Vers3 Once upon a time in a country, no map can ever find Lifed a boy with a lovely mom, he wished for a dad at his side Every night he prayed, to get a dad an' a good friend to play Someone who could show him the way, how to become a man One morning his mom woke him up, don't get frightened there's somebody else A man in her bed an' he liked him, at once he crawled under his blanket Once upon a time in a country, no map can ever find Young family woke up in bed, big smile an' sunshine Ref. Slow it starts, slow it grows along the way 'til it's strong enough to carry a thing like a raising Family Slow it starts, slow it grows along the way 'til it's strong enough to carry a thing like a raising Family Slow it starts, slow it grows along the way 'til it's strong enough to carry a thing like a raising Family Slow it starts, slow it grows along the way 'til it's strong enough to carry a thing like a raising Family

Vers01 Man sitting on the sidewalk, just walked by him Sat beside him, let's talk for a while, there's someting ya can't hide Man life ain't worth it, always tears apart It soaks so much energie, (to) build up new luv Angels always fly away, to help somebody else Leaving me in the gutter, as if turned into a demon from hell Today I wanna die, an' hide from the pain Got my gun in my pocket, but nuthin' to shell it out Ref Angels 'n' pistols Ain't whut it's ment to be There's pretty much luvin' by The side of the tracks Hope ya'll agree Vers02 Man it's hard to loose, the sun o' ya life Tell ya don't dash it all down, there's way to come out, head high An' no she ain't the cradle o' love, just the object Make free whut they tell ya 'bout luvin', it's all in you Ref Angels 'n' pistols Ain't whut it's ment to be There's pretty much luvin' by The side of the tracks Hope ya'll agree Angels 'n' pistols Ain't whut it's ment to be There's pretty much luvin' by The side of the tracks Hope ya'll agree

Black Mechanic Brain 04:37

Vers1 John Dennis got fed up, working at the factory Building cars and handle the dumb and numb workers And the tie breed called them-self-adjusting A thorne in the eye of production man, screwing 'em His last denunciation, was over the line He got hold of a way to set an example, to give sign Make people think about this system an' a lil revenge 'gainst modern slavery's hierarchy in a communist cloak Vers2 An image came to his mind, of a black-mechanic-brain Build by humans hovering in stratosphere Conected by a hidden wire run in everyons's brain But he yanked it out, to wake up mind's, to sound alert The pressure and unwritten factory laws, were close to jail Heavy duty, names an' rights unspoken Brown-nosers without guts, all over the place His desire to see some of 'em dead, everyday Ref An' at the beach of his island he dreamt a dream The place he bombed was now a sign of unleashed greed An' at the beach of his island he dreamt a dream Of working all as one, with the lesson learned? Vers3 Golden handshake was transfered, but still a thing to do Paying dues for bleeding souls, company do's 'n' don'ts An anonymous letter reached the office, to explain Press got a copy, it spread through country, awoken At the dotted line he bulid the bomb, firing Buried administration building, no one killed They called it an act of terrorism, closed the file to public But Jon Dennis found a new home, life and peace Ref An' at the beach of his island he dreamt a dream The place he bombed was now a sign of unleashed greed An' at the beach of his island he dreamt a dream Of working all as one, with the lesson learned? An' at the beach of his island he dreamt a dream The place he bombed was now a sign of unleashed greed An' at the beach of his island he dreamt a dream Of working all as one, with the lesson learned?
