Ain't found a way to kill me yet
Eyes burn with stingin' sweat
Seems every path leads me to nowhere
Wife and kids, household pet
Army green was no safe bet
The bullets scream to me from somewhere
Here they come to snuff the rooster, oh yeah
Yeah here come the rooster, yeah
You know he ain't gonna die
No, no, no, you know we ain't gonna die
Yeah they come to snuff the rooster, oh yeah
yeah here come the rooster, yeah
you know he ain't gonna die
No, no, no, you know we ain't gonna die
Walkin' tall machine gun man
They spit on me in my home land
Gloria sent me pictures of my boy
Got my pills 'gainst mosquito death
My buddy's breathin' his dyin' breath
Oh god please won't you help me make it through
Yeah they come to snuff the rooster, oh yeah
Yeah here come the rooster, yeah
You know he ain't gonna die

Yeah I've got this wondrous feeling
Yeah I'm in this place again
Yeah I'm waking up and I need something
And it seems quite simple
For us common people
It's all the rage where I am
Wait and see it'll change you
All aboard rooster waits you
Woke up wrong this morning
Couldn't talk to anyone
Help me I'm slave to the high and I need something
Wait and see it'll cure you
All aboard rooster wake you
Wait and see it'll change you
All aboard rooster waits you
And it seems quite simple
For all you common people
It's all the rage where I am
Wait and see it'll cure you
All aboard rooster take you
Wait and see it'll change you
All aboard rooster waits you

Johnny got shot through the grease
Drove his wheels through guarantee
Walked about with a monkey on his back
Torn pages of a coward's almanac
He got stuck between y - z
First letters of his own alphabet
Everythin' is cut & dry. The rooster crowes 3 times
As he turns & goes. The rooster crowes 3 times
A wise man told him about a song
First he had to blow the dust from his tongue
And Johnny said
Cannot see the mess I'm in
Can't seem to plug my organ in.
Everythin' is cut and dry - till the rooster crowes 3 times
As he turns & he goes - the rooster crowes 3 times
Wished I had a bad, bad memory
For all my so-called friends to see
So keep on readin' between the lines
A frogue's tongue freakin' at a jar of flies

Sick and tired of being broke
Theres no way out of such a joke
Cant get out of the red, on the bread line
Gonna dive in deep, its the perfect crime
Like a beggar like a thief
To get a break's like pullin' teeth
I could try to make it but they're begging me to borrow
Spend, spend, spend like theres no tomorrow
Acting like youre loaded
Knowing that youre broke
When you got a lot of nothing
It cant go up in smole
Wanna go platinum blind
Maz it out- Im gonna blow my mind
Tear it up- and i just cant win
Tired of looking from the outside, in.
Wanna lose the plot
Spend some money that I aint got (its a money trap)
Well it tastes so fine
Cos you cant see nothing when youre platinum blind
Its not about the finer things
Just need that buzz that plastic brings
Got to live it up like a right man
Other peoples money running through my hands
Pay it off but whats the use
Why tighten my belt- feels like a noose
Something out of nothing take the rap whenever
Cash my cheques at the bank and never never
Falling... gonna hit the ground
Deeper...Think Im gonna drown
Not im itching, 'cos theres no one else around

You and I we were one
And i swore Id stay forever
But they say all good things come to an end- my friend
Now its time to move on
But dont think that this is easy
Cos its hard to be leaving you behind
But you will be fine
Oh so if you believe
Say a prayer for me
I wont be here tomorrow
Somewhere I gotta be
Things you want to say
Save them for another day
Cos i can hear the angels calling
Angels calling for me
Does it help if i say
That im really truly sorry
And that I never meant for it to end- this way
Theres a place in your heart
Where you know you'll always find me
and I'll be with you wherever you are
Near or far
you and I, we were one
And i swore Id stay forever

How can it hurt
When I feel no pain
How can it heal
If i look the same
I've been searching all my mornings
For the last breath of a dream
Are you drowning or just waving
'Cos im tearing at the seams
I wanna live
And I wanna breath
Always thought you'd be the one to set me free
But i can forgive
'Cos you make me believe in something more
Now I only want to live if i can find
Find somebody to die for
Find somebody to die for
How can you lose
if its not a game
How can you love
if you're never going to change
Gonna find my way
Through this maze of my desire
Come what may bitter love or wasted time
You might say
I'm chasing shadows in my mind
But there's a light that guides my way to all I live for

Daylight on my shoulder
Makes me feel alive
You kept me standing in your shadow
And it’s a cold cold place to hide
I’m running away from this messed up place
I’m breaking free, yeah yeah
I’m tired of staring at the sun
Can’t stand the way you burn my eyes so I can’t see
Stealing every breath I breathe
You push me into overdrive
And I don’t need this kind of high coz now I’m done
You took everything while I was staring at the sun
I know you won’t let me
But just turn and walk away
You'll tie me up, kick me around
Trying to kill my dreams and break me down
But I won’t hang around
I’m running away from this messed up place
I’m breaking free, yeah yeah
I’m tired of staring at the sun
Can’t stand the way you burn my eyes so I can’t see
Stealing every breath I breathe
You push me into overdrive
And I don’t need this kind of high coz now I’m done
You took everything while I was staring at the sun
I was staring at the sun
Daylight on my shoulder
I know its time to run
Yes I know its time to run
I’m tired of staring at the sun
Can’t stand the way you burn my eyes so I can’t see
Stealing every breath I breathe (stealing every breath I breathe)
You push me into overdrive
And I don’t need this kind of high coz now I’m done
You took everything while I was staring at the sun
Yeah, yeah staring at the sun

Well I lost my faith in fellow man
I've been living alone so long
That I dont know who I am
Why did it take so long
Why did it take so long
Ive been waiting a lifetime
For someone like you to set me free
Why did it take so long
For you to come and rescue me
Why did it take so long
Why did it take so long
Cos youre beautiful and everyone knows it
And youre everything I want you to be
I got sunshine on my face my smile shows it
Well it cant be wrong
cos youre so right for me
Youre so right for me
Yeah yeah
Youre so right for me
Well it just dont matter if its wrong or right
I didnt know something could feel so good
Ive been wasting all my time
Why did it take so long

When I wake and the sky seems to break
And the bang in my head is my heart just trying to keep me alive
Then I rise and the room starts to shake
And I'm walking on glass, trying to remember
Trying to get straight when all I wanna do is cut back the tape
Replay last night with you
Feel what it's like to flip out
Be surrounded by sounds of the crowd, carry me away now
I don't know why, we're in this situation
And I don't know how there's something missing
No point living when you don't know you're alive
Follow you 'cos only you take me up this high
Don't need no complications when I only want to fly
'Cos it's beautiful just playing with you
Take me on a joyride, take me on a joyride
I like the way you abuse my mind
Kiss me all the time, paranoid you're gonna leave me behind
Resonate like a bass when you pulling my strings even tighter
Think I'm overheating
Barely nineteen but you know what I mean
When I fail to describe this place where I've been living
Trying to stay strong when you're dragging me on
With complete disregard for anything that's wrong, yeah
I don't know why, we're in this situation
And I don't know how there's something missing
No point living when you don't know you're alive
Follow you 'cos only you take me up this high
Don't need no complications when I only want to fly
'Cos it's beautiful just playing with you, take me on a joyride
Look at my face what have you done
Do you see yourself in my reflection?
Tumbling down, out of control
Nothing to lose this is where it came from
Follow you 'cos only you could take me up this high
Don't need no complications when I only want to fly
'Cos it's beautiful just playing with you
Take me on a joyride, take me on a joyride

When I wake and the sky seems to break
and the bang in my head is my heart just trying to keep me alive
Then I rise and the room starts to shake,
And I'm walking on glass trying to remember
Trying to get straight when all I wanna do is cut back the tape
Replay last night with you
Feel what its like to flip out, be surrounded by sounds of the crowd,
Carry me away now
I don't know why, we're in this situation
And I don't, know how there's something missing
[Chorus]
No point living when you don't know you're alive,
follow you, 'cos only you take me up this high
I don't need, no complications when I only want to fly
Cos its beautiful just thinking with you
Take me on a joyride
Take me on a joyride.
I like the way you abuse my mind
Abuse me all the time, paranoid you're gonna leave me behind
Resonate like a bass when you pulling my strings ever tighter
Think I'm overheating
Barely nineteen, but you know what I mean
When I fail to describe this place where I've been living
Trying to stay strong when you're dragging me on
with complete disregard for anything that's wrong, yeah
[Bridge]
[Chorus]
Look at my face, what have you done,
Do you see yourself in my reflection
Tumbling down, out of control
Nothing to lose, this is where it came from
Follow you 'cos only you could take me up this high
I Don't need no complications when I only wanna fly
Cause its beautiful just thinking with you
Take me on a joyride
Take me on a joyride
Take me on a joyride
nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah nah nah nah, nah nah naaaah.

Wanna be's and gonna be's
Is this the day that you're gonna seize
Or maybe just sit around waiting for that call
Time is cheap but it ain't free
Let another day just fall through me
Winding up, staying up, staring at the wall
Feel the motion 'cos your head is spinning like a top
Taste the ocean 'cos the flavor's there in every drop
You told me that all of your angels and demons
Are constantly kicking and fighting and screaming
There's no light and there's no sound
Bet you wanna drag the sunrise down
You tell me it feels like you're running in circles
And all the time they keep raising the hurdles
Out of sight and underground
You're dreaming, you're gonna drag the sunrise down
You know the light can hypnotize
So shut it out and close your eyes
You're paranoid, can't avoid, living in denial
You curse the sun, it fills the sky
Spiraling down as it passes by
Dreaming and scheming and sinking in the night, yeah, yeah
Feel the motion 'cos your head is spinning like a top
Taste the ocean 'cos the flavor's there in every drop
You told me that all of your angels and demons
Are constantly kicking and fighting and screaming
There's no light and there's no sound
Bet you wanna drag the sunrise down
You tell me it feels like you're running in circles
And all the time they keep raising the hurdles
Out of sight and underground
You're dreaming, you're gonna drag the sunrise down
Time is on your side
You hide behind the tainted smile
But it' s there deep in your eyes
Drop the blade and look inside
Only you can find the light
You told me that all of your angels and demons
Are constantly kicking and fighting and screaming
There's no light and there's no sound
Bet you wanna drag the sunrise down
You tell me it feels like you're running in circles
And all the time they keep raising the hurdles
Out of sight and underground
You're dreaming, you're gonna drag the sunrise
You told me that all of your angels and demons
Are constantly kicking and fighting and screaming
There's no light and there's no sound
Bet you wanna drag the sunrise down
You tell me it feels like you're running in circles
And all the time they keep raising the hurdles
Out of sight and underground
You're dreaming, you're gonna drag the sunrise

I, I dont know why i miss you so much
Yeah I, I dont know why I still feel your touch
You, you left me feeling high and dry
With nothing, nothing but the question why
Yeah you, I guess you had another direction
And leaving me with nothing but a dead connection
If you call me today
Ill say that Im fine
But I bet you can tell by the tone of my voice
Its just a lie
You knew what you had
You still walked away leaving me in this mess
My love for you is deep and meaningless
You, you knew what you were doing to me
And I, I guess I was too blind to see
Well you hit where it hurt and you fooled me so bad
But I'd do it again to relive what we had
(Damn thats sad)
There are many things left to remind me

Downtown
When you're alone and life is making you lonely
You can always go downtown
When you've got worries, all the noise and the hurry
Seems to help, I know, downtown
Just listen to the music of the traffic in the city
Linger on the sidewalk where the neon signs are pretty
How can you lose? The lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
So go downtown, things'll be great when you're
Downtown, no finer place, for sure
Downtown, every thing's waiting for you, downtown
Don't hang around and let your problems surround you
There are movie shows, downtown
Maybe you know some little places to go
To where they never close, downtown
Just listen to the rhythm of a gentle bossa nova
You'll be dancing with him too before the night is over
Happy again, the lights are much brighter there
You can forget all your troubles, forget all your cares
So go downtown, where all the lights are bright
Downtown, waiting for you tonight
Downtown, you're gonna be all right now
Downtown, how can u lose?
Downtown, how can u lose?
Downtown, downtown, downtown
Downtown, downtown, downtown
And you may find somebody kind to help and understand you
Someone who is just like you and needs a gentle hand
To guide them along, so maybe I'll see you there
We can forget all our troubles, forget all our cares
So go downtown, things'll be great when you're
Downtown, don't wait a minute more
Downtown, every thing's waiting for you
Downtown
Downtown
Downtown

I scroop you up with a plastic spoon from a paper cup
Looking for a chicken
Call you flower, space balloon
Beam me up when you're ready for the thicken
And everything looks right about you now
And you're my little sweetcorn and I'm the big bad rooster
I'm the rooster
My little veggie paradise
Heaven sent only for a dollar
And everything feels right about you now
And you're my little sweetcorn and I'm the big bad rooster
I'm the rooster, the rooster, the rooster
I'm the rooster
I scroop you up with a plastic spoon
I scroop you up with a plastic spoon
I scroop you up with a plastic spoon
With a plastic spoon from a space balloon
And everything feels right about you now
And you're my little sweetcorn and I'm the big bad rooster
I'm the rooster, the rooster
I'm the rooster, the rooster, the rooster, the rooster
I'm the rooster
I scroop you up with a plastic spoon

Shes got a killer smile
Shes got devils eyes
She lives wicked wild
Wants me to take her home with me tonight
Struts with confidence
Stood still turning heads
Well hell yeah she looks so fine
But theres nothing going on inside that mind
There was a time in my life
When that was all I desired
When that was enough
But now I want everything,
Everything yeah
She dont have what i need
She dont know just how to please
So shes got the money
She dont make me feel like Im alive
Im alive.....Like Im alive
Like im alive
All heat sparks and fire
Its just smoke to cloud your eyes
In the morning when the fmale is dead and gone
youll see something in this pictures all wrong
She should be my perfect ten
And override my common sense
But she aint got no conversation

Standing there
I could feel it happening
It happened to be happening to you and me
Took me off my feet
Made me pursue it
Now you tell me youre not mine exclusively
So i push you to one side
And then I see you again
And that look is in your eyes
You blew my mind but it wasnt real
So im back and on tehe road again
Life rools on
And im rolling with it
Never worried by the troubles of company
Sometimes it sparks
sometimes it doesnt
But im happy theres no dreaming of you and me
So i pushed you to one side
And i finally got you out of my life
Now ive opened my eyes
Then i see you again
And that looks still in your eyes
Yeah you blew my mind

I spent a lifetime searching
For what I thought I'd found
But you're just the same
It's still a losing game
I'm a face out of the crowd
You love and you leave
Yeah you lie and deceive
How can you sleep at night?
Say you're just having fun
We all think we're the one
What you're doing Just aint right
I can't do it
I won't say it
My heart is breaking but I won't let you know
I can't show it
I won't loose it
My bodies shaking and I'm ready to roll
Am I just standing in line
Are you just wasting my time
So you're just an illusion
Breathing the best of me
Got games to slow me down
Stop messing me around
