TOP OF THE NIGHT What ya say about the movin’ We been movin’ so long What you hear bout not groovin’ Well we been groovin’ all along We know what you’re spreading What you’re spreading is wrong And we know when we’re movin’ That everything is alright And the substance was soothing From the top of the night We know where you’re going To the powder room Just went all in At the top of the night When you ride the line You’re always counting the time Can’t seem to think Need a drink To cool off my mind Always on the mend Just don’t know when it will end I tried to do what’s worth doin’ Then I tried it one more time That one more time ain’t worth doin’ So now it’s time to get in line You know what you’re feelin’ When you’re goin’ up
2.
A Push 02:57
A PUSH Take too much Not enough Push me off Am I insane They pick me up Put me down All around So I feel no pain We’re on a hyperdrive mission Mission to space I need a push, push, push To get out of this place Is there time To get behind Lose it all Do I have my brain It’s telling me with ecstasy I’ve got it all I’ve not gone insane There’s more to lose If you choose To eat them all Let’s have a ball Now you’re gone Is it fun In the race To go to space
3.
SATISFACTION I don’t mind Just what you say Come on back And stay my way No matter what you do You’re wasting time Better catch me babe I’m flying by I want you And everything that you do You’re gonna do it your own way Need satisfaction here today You don’t see What you do to me You’re gonna take your time And move on by And I don’t know Just how you fly Down here babe I’ll get you high Ya come on back To see me more I hear you there outside the door What ya do Are you tryin’ to hide I’m sick of this, babe Just be mine
4.
Killin Eyes 02:52
KILLIN’ EYES What you see Well it makes no difference In the eyes of the serpents swell You can try but it makes no difference If you’re doin’ fine thinking people are well Then open your eyes and you’ll see the smell You can try But it makes no difference There’s no eyes Just a gate on the way to hell If you’re doin’ fine thinking people are well Then open your eyes and you’ll see what’s real Now you see the serpent drifting What you see is your existence From the eyes when the angel fell Then you try to see the difference Can you feel, can you feel what’s there Deep inside, now you feel what’s real
5.
Chasing Tail 02:42
CHASING TAIL It don’t have what you want It don’t have what you need Looking for something natural now From the earth giving speed You don’t know just what you’re going to do When it’s coming for you Always chasing tail It’s gonna give you hell It might bring you up when you’re down Oh man, I wish you well You know it’s hard when it’s gone Still tough when it’s back When the moon is orange And the sun is black
6.
THE THIRD EYE I cannot see you But I feel you’re there And when I hear you The sound makes me stare Now silence stings me I can’t hear a thing But if it soothes me Then why would I care When I see through your eyes I want to open your mind When you stop and you stare The third eye will take you there If you can’t hear me I know you’ll feel free But if you still have That voice in your head Through cosmic visions I see someone I know they hear me But what can they see
7.
Used 03:45
USED I’ve been put out Like you’ve been before I’ve been stepped on So many times before I’m looking harder Than I have before I’m losing trust Cause I need something more You’re looked down on Are you worth much more You’ve been passed by While you look at the floor I’ve been spit on So many times before I’ve been used Just like you And now it’s coming around Now I’m turned on Like never before I’m not used up I don’t run for the door All the people That thought they had it all They’re being used Just like you And now it’s coming around You’ve been looked down on You’ve been picked on before But now you throw down Unlike the times before I know you’re used Just like I am too I won’t spit on Anyone like you And now I’m going down
8.
WHAT YOU GONNA DO NOW Took it there but we crossed the line Losing blood Running out of time You say what you want And you speak what you think Did you taste it first Or did you just drink You think there’s more That you can do But it don’t matter Cause they’re telling you Hey, hey, what you gonna do now What you gonna say, say About how things are going down Drippin’ pain from inside our veins Losing time from behind the blinds The people are poisoned But love is real There is no truth Just how you feel Let it go just to bring you back Then you’ll see just what you lack Killin’ time Have you lost your mind The emptiness is a sign Skin of leather but a heart of butter It doesn’t matter cause we use each other To break us down and keep things hot Melted people won’t learn a lot
9.
Who Knew 03:23
WHO KNEW The night had come When the forest grew Ceiling hung with vines Changed your point of view When you came To the place of things They showed their teeth And made the forest sing Well you know that it is time To let go and keep running wild Now be still With the magic trick Stare in their minds Without a blink Fear in mind Can you make it stick Share their mind Without a magic trick Can the king of mind Somehow slip To show you things That can make you trip
10.
FOOLISH ROMANCE You sit there thinking That your life is over I’ll give you one clue You just might be right Cause I’ve been drinkin’ And rolling these things over I think it’s time We called it a night You shoulda quit me When you had the chance Don’t put the blame on me I won’t be a casualty Of circumstance Not gonna waste my time On hopeless romance Something in your eyes Gave me a sinking feeling Nothin’ to hold on to But a pack of vicious lies You stole my heart And said things that left me reeling I may be wrong But that don’t make you right You shoulda quit me When you had the chance Don’t put the blame on me You coulda split girl But now the night is over Ain’t gonna waste no time On foolish romance You tried to mess with my mind And left me so far behind You tried to mess with my mind You sit there thinking Looking over your shoulder I’ll give you one hint Everything is in sight Cause I’ve been drinking And rolling these things over At least we’ll never have to fight again You tried to mess up my mind I left you so far behind Won’t have to fight again Now that we’ve come to an end

LIGHTS GO OUT When the lights go out on the USA Don’t think I’ll have that much to say I used to love her and that’s no lie But it might be time to say goodbye It’s times like these I wish we all could disappear Captain, my captain what can we do How much more can you put her through There’s not much more that we can do She’s taking on water and going down fast I guess nothing fun will ever last
