All Night Uptown

I just got back to reality
It’s a brand new scene, that’s the vibe
I met a girl on the train, she was wearing a Cheshire Cat mask
I said I’m trying to make my cat famous
We didn’t talk politics
I just liked her looks
We kept it light
And by the time I knew I missed my stop we were way past 42nd St
I was, telling her my whole life story
I went from Brooklyn up to Harlem just so I could keep on talking
But I was only going to Central Park
I went from Brooklyn up to Harlem just so I could keep on talking to ya
But I was only going to Central Park
Woah oh oh
She got me
Going Uptown
All night, Alright
Woah woah woah
She got me
Going Uptown
All night, Alright
Woah woah woah
She was new to the city
She hadn’t been here long enough
To be pissed off about everything
Optimistic for a girl in a mask
Like a bag full of magic
And she smelled like peaches
It was like a movie
She called me on my shit
She said a little positivity
Will go a long way with me
I already like you
I went from Brooklyn up to Harlem, just so I could keep on talking
But I was only going to Central Park
I went from Brooklyn up to Harlem just so I could keep on talking to ya
But I was only going to Central Park
Woah oh oh
She got me
Going Uptown
All night, Alright
Woah woah woah
She got me
Going Uptown
All night, Alright
Woah woah woah
I just got back to reality
Just a broken dream and a smile
I met a girl on the train that said it’s all gonna be ok
She went on
On and on and on
Said life was good but now it’s gone
And I haven’t felt so good in so long
She lift me up
I went from Brooklyn up to Harlem just so I could keep on talking
But I was only going to Central Park
I went from Brooklyn up to Harlem just so I could keep on talking to ya
But I was only going to Central Park
Woah oh oh
She got me
Going Uptown
All night, Alright
Woah woah woah
She got me
Going Uptown
All night, Alright
Woah woah woah
She got me
Going Uptown
All night, Alright
Woah woah woah
She got me
Going Uptown
All night, Alright
Woah woah woah

Everything Is Alright

I was already in the middle of having my own little apocalypse
And it doesn’t even matter what day of the week or what time it is
I just woke up
It’s the middle of the day or the middle of the night
I turn on the news, watch them pass the buck.
Like headless chickens, trying to cluck
One second everything is alright
Then nothings ever gonna be the same again
Someone left the gate wide open
And the dogs got out
One second everyone was alright
Then nothings every gonna be the same
I got a friend
He’s done with city life
He’s gotta get out of town
He said
I’ve been waiting to do this for so long
He packed up his family and head to the coast
Now he
Writes songs about conspiracies
He’ll tell you whose to blame
For everything
In your whole life
One second everything is alright
Then nothings ever gonna be the same again
Someone left the gate wide open
And the dogs got out
One second everyone was alright
Then nothings every gonna be the same
I was already in the middle of having my own little apocalypse
It doesn’t matter what day of the week or what time it is
I’m just sitting home staring at the phone
Waiting til they say it’s ok
You can go outside
And feel the sun on your face
One second everything is alright
Then nothings ever gonna be the same again
Someone left the gate wide open
And the dogs out
Once second everything is alright
Then nothings ever gonna be the same again
One second everything is alright
Then nothings ever gonna be the same again
Yeah one second every everything is alright
Then nothings ever gonna be the same again
One second everything is alright
Then nothings ever gonna be the same

Diggin' A Ditch
02:30

I got whipped by a chick and it all turned to shit
Now my brain is fried and I’m paranoid inside, a bit
I just couldn’t believe it
She comes home drunk and tells me to drop dead
She said, I couldn’t resist
What a bitch
I just couldn't believe it
Loving a woman like you is like diggin’ a ditch
Loving a woman like you is like diggin’ a ditch
She said
I saw your band on TV last week
I’m coming out with all my friends
Can I get in the list
I just couldn’t conceive it
You gotta carry me home, carry me home
You gotta carry me home, carry me home
You gotta carry me home
Carry this world for me
Loving a woman like you is like diggin’ a ditch
Loving a woman like you is like diggin’ a ditch
And the weight in my pocket
I gotta drop it
After the show in the parking lot
She took me to the car to show me what she’s got
I knew right then
She was still crazy for me
Loving a woman like you is like diggin’ a ditch
Loving a woman like you is like diggin’ a ditch
Loving a woman like you is like diggin’ a ditch
And the weight in my pocket
I’ve gotta stop it

Thanks Man

It was late at night for three months straight
I didn’t see your face
And you didn’t wait
Til I came back down
She give me the news
That shes not coming back
Gonna stay with him
Ah she's gonna try and work it
And wait it out,
Wait it out
She just wrote me a letter
She didn’t even tell the cat
And I’ve been trying my best
To not get all depressed
And go down down down
She said
I had fun when it comes
I was cool like the breeze
But I gotta go, come on now
Thank you for loving me
Came down in the rain
Just to play in the trees
Don't be sad when I'm gone
And thanks for loving me
I got this friend he played guitar for his whole life
Pardon my 80s, he cut like a knife
And when I played with him
He brought the whole place down
He wore that same Ramones t-shirt
Every gig that we did
But he was so Cheap Trick as fuck
And he let it out, yea he let it out
He had that
Long Island guitar thing
For playing in a thousand bands
He stayed in rock and roll
Til the end of his days
We still talk from time to time
When we can
He said
I had fun when it comes
I was cool like the breeze
But I gotta go, come on now
Thank you for loving me
Came down in the rain
Just to play in the trees
Don't be sad when I'm gone
And thanks for loving me
We had fun when it comes
We were cool like a breeze baby
I gotta go, come on now
Thank you for loving me
I stayed in the game
And I played with the team baby
Don't be sad when I'm gone
And thanks for loving me
Thank you for loving me
Baby thank you for loving me

Chaos Machine
03:57

Seems to be that I’m always
Looking for a reason
To demean myself
And I’m getting used to
The look on peoples faces
When you let them down
You lied to me
You know I lied to you
I guess we’re the same
I don’t know when I can pay you back
I don’t know if I’m ever coming back
I don’t know when I can pay you back
I don’t know if I’m ever coming back
I quit my day job
I’m going searching for a new high
I can't explain
But it’s always pain
That drives the words I say
I’m trying hard, to understand
When you tell me that it’s your fault
I turned out this way
I don’t know when I can pay you back
I don’t know if I’m ever coming back
I don’t know when I can pay you back
I don’t know if I’m ever coming back
I quit my day job
I’m going searching for a new high
It brings more than just some tears
To my ears
When I think of all the rage and pain
I’ve caused with my name
I don’t have to suffer anymore
I’m a chaos machine
I don’t have to suffer anymore
Im a chaos machine
I don’t have to suffer anymore
Im a chaos machine
I don’t have to suffer anymore
Im a chaos machine

Trash I Am
02:31

She never done any time
On the front lines
Of the battlefield of rock
Come on and show me your scars
Or are you just all talk
I’ve been drinking since two
I’ve been dreaming of you
Oooo oooo oooooooo
I did just what you told me to
Called you back but I can’t get through
I did just what you said
And she threw me out again
Like the trash I am
I don’t need to hear you lecture me on love
Oh no
Just think about the women that I’ve been dreaming of
I did just what you told me to
Called you back but I can’t get through
I did just what you said
And she threw me out again
Like the trash I am
Howl at the mooooooooonlight
OWWWWOOOOOoooooohhhh
YEAH
I did just what you told me to
Called you back but I can’t get through
I did just what you said
I did just what you said
I did just what you said
And she threw me out again
Like the trash I ammmmmmmmm
Like the trash I ammmmmmmmm

The Gulf Of Lonely Days
03:17
|
|||
|
I think about the good old days a lot
They were sweeter than a cherry lollipop
I close my eyes
I can taste the years go by
With every single drop
I’ve been having these dreams
Bout a girl I once knew
I’ve been wondering
Will I ever love again
I’ve had a thousand beers
It feels like years
The lies turn into lines
And the back of my throat feels like 1982
And I’m stuck in the gulf of lonely lonely days
Im stuck in the gulf of lonely lonely days
Nothing ever mattered but the radio
That was everything I know
Where I got all my rhymes
And came a thousand miles
To live out all my Saturday nights
I said
One ticket to Rock & Roll please
I took the ‘99 train
And when I got to the station somebody said
Ahhh you just missed it
Sorry kid
I’m stuck in the gulf of lonely lonely days
Stuck in the gulf of lonely lonely days
Woah oh oh oh
Can’t just pick up the phone and talk it through
Woah oh oh oh
Every shrink I know says I gotta get over you
Wooaaahhhhh
Im still waiting for the magic song
To come along and make me whole
And bust me out of this prison I built for myself
Agggghhhhhhhhhhhh
I’m stuck in the gulf of lonely lonely days
Stuck in the gulf of lonely lonely days
Stuck in the gulf of lonely lonely days
Stuck in the gulf of lonely lonely days

I was doing nothing last night
I called my ex girlfriend, to tell her
I still love her
She said I love you back
I think of you all the time
But I’m with someone now
We’ve been happy for a while
And he don’t need to tell me stuff is gonna change
And he don’t tell me
I’ll pay you back
I’m doing good
And we could’ve tried harder
But your life is still all about
Your next couple hundred dollars
I was doing last night
I called my ex girlfriend just to say
I still love you
She don’t call
And she don’t write
And she’s with someone now
They’ve been happy for a while
I know he don’t tell you
Stuff is gonna change
And he don’t tell you I’ll pay you back
You’re doing good and I could’ve tried harder
But I’m still trying to get together
My next couple hundred dollars
I was doing nothing last night
So I called my ex girlfriend
Just to say that I love you
She said I love you back
I think of you all the time
But I’m with someone now
Can’t go back
It’s been too much time
And he don’t tell me
It won’t be the same
He don’t promise me
I’ll pay you back
I’m doing good
Yeah you could’ve tried harder
I’m gonna make my new boyfriend a father
I wanted it to be you
I know you tried
But your life is still all about
Your next couple hundred dollars
I don’t think there’s a happy ending to this story
...for me

This Will Be Our Year
01:53

The warmth of your love
Is like the warmth of the sun
This will be our year
Took a long time to come
Don't let go of my hand
Now darkness has gone
And this will be our year
Took a long time to come
And I won't forget
The way you held me up when I was down
I won't forget the way you said,
"Darling I love you"
You gave me faith to go on
Now we're there and we've only just begun
This will be our year
Took a long time to come
The warmth of your smile
Smile for me little one
And this will be our year
Took a long time to come
You don't have to worry
All your worried days are gone
This will be our year
Took a long time to come
And I won't forget
The way you held me up when I was down
I won't forget the way you said,
"Baby I love you"
You gave me faith to go on
Now we're there and we've only just begun
This will be our year
Took a long time to come
This will be our year
Took a long......
......time
