Mourning Wood

It's a long dark road thru the tunnel of love Got an eye for trouble, guess it runs in the blood It's the same old story, it's the same old grudge It's the same old poison from the same old sludge Chorus Welcome to the shitshow Welcome to the shitshow Welcome to the shitshow Everybody's working, trying to beat the clock I been up I been down I been around the block I'm a bush league outlaw with a cool facade But I'm wound up tighter than a Walmart watch Welcome to the shitshow Welcome to the shitshow Welcome to the shitshow Welcome to the shitshow Welcome to the shitshow Welcome to the shitshow

I rode the mystery train into the city of night I wonder if I'm still sane, Ma says I was never was right Bless the beasts and the children n' whatever doesn't apply Every myth needs a villain, to tell the beautiful lie Chorus Ooooo mystery train Ooooo mystery train Take me home mystery train Ooooo mystery train I'm gonna cash out my sins, reap misfortune and lies        Gonna bluff my way in, to drink you in with my eyes Thru my rose-colored glasses, I'll sit and watch the barrage I'm a heartbeat from heaven, in an asphalt mirage Ooooo mystery train Ooooo mystery train Take me home mystery train Ooooo mystery train Ooooo mystery train Ooooo mystery train Take me home mystery train Ooooo mystery train

I met a girl at the Salvaton Army Trying to get by like everyone else I know She wanted to believe but I've got nothing up my sleeve And I doubt that I'm the one you think you're looking for Chorus Wherever you go, there you are That's as good a place as any when you need a place to start Wherever you go, there you are It all seems kinda random, Lucky Strikes and lucky stars  I knew a girl with a misery addiction Her eyes looked kinda haunted like she'd seen it all before She said she had a show on internet radio No one listens but why tell her if she don't already know Bridge She'd been looking high and low for satisfaction I guess no one told her life can be a whore Wherever you go, there you are That's as good a place as any when you need a place to start Wherever you go, there you are It all seems kinda random, Lucky Strikes and lucky stars

Sadness 05:18
Sadness in your smile, sadness suits your style I can’t understand these blues Sadness in your walkin’, sadness in your talkin’ I can’t understand these blues Always been left wantin’ Ain’t that the way it goes CHORUS Step into the light and shine Come see what there is to see You’re bound to lose your heart sometime So it might as well be me No more dreams in shades of blue Time to give life one more try Cause I’ve come to see it’s true No one gets out of here alive Sadness in your eyes and across the dark horizon I don’t understand these blues Sadness in your laughter, sadness from here on after I don’t understand these blues Always been left wantin’ Ain’t that the way it goes Step into the light and shine Come see what there is to see You’re bound to lose your heart sometime So it might as well be me No more dreams in shades of blue Time to give life one more try Cause I’ve come to see it’s true No one gets out of here alive Sadness in your laughter, sadness from here on after I’ll never understand these blues

Assaulting my senses, and they're armed to the teeth People are stupid and there ain't no relief Best of intentions are just wishes on star So put a bullet in your bible and a song in your heart Chorus It's hard times In Wonderland It's hard times In Wonderland Asleep at the wheel, crashing into myself I jumped up from the wreckage and I screamed what the hell I don't need the heartaches, but I got 'em in spades I do the right thing but don't expect a parade Bridge Just remember to remember What they want you to forget I think we're in a downward spiral But let me double check
6.
You kissed me on my cheek            And your lipstick musta leaked into my brain I'm betting that you're able so Let's you and me go raise some cain Your love must be affiliated with Heartbreak Incorporated Chorus This has potential for disaster Like the world I used to know Could be death by misadventure But what a way to go You look at me and wink            What about that makes me think it's real  Anything can happen and  I feel love's been snapping at my heels You leave me incapacitated, you're Heartbreak Inc. Bridge Baby you're a landmine In a plunging neckline Born under a bad sign Your perfume smells like strychnine
7.
Bongos and bayonets Exhausted and waterlogged Just a whisper of a silhouette  Out on the street with the dogs Chorus Hearts of steel give rattlesnake kisses Can't say that I'm a prize myself Love leaves scars, now can I get a witness Let's call this love but with a lower case L Horseshoes and hand grenades You're dreamin' of something more I've walked in those shoes, but them's the breaks I got what you're aching for
8.
Sit in a quiet moment and watch your times unfold Life is like a dark road, you gotta watch out for the holes Chorus: And an idol falls, and an idol falls And an idol falls, watch the idols fall Athletes in rehab and movie stars with whores The fame is only fleeting but the infamy endures Chorus: And an idol falls, and an idol falls And an idol falls, watch the idols fall Bridge: When it rains, it pours When it rains, it pours When it rains, it pours And another idol falls
9.
Life Is Good 04:40
The sun crashes in flames, nights are always the same And every day's another mother but ya Gotta roll outta bed, cotton mouth, feet of lead And baby, baby baby Chorus Absent minded memories will drag you down if you don't break the bond Everything happens for a reason, even if the reasons wrong This song's no anthem, but the words are gonna echo in your head   Life is good, without it you might be dead The dead dark and corrupt, can't get over on us Every day is gonna shove you but ya Keep on beating your drum against a whole lotta dumb And baby, baby, baby, baby Chorus And baby, baby baby Chorus
10.
Arms of an angel and the soul of an assassin Ice water in your veins betrayed by ice blue eyes You can't buy love but you sure can fake the passion You'll steal somebody's heart but it won't be mine Chorus Everybody wants a little taste of the poison Everybody wants to be part of the plan Everybody needs a reason for rejoicing But when you're dead you probably won't give a damn Bless the broken hearted and the sidewalks that they wander Wide eyed in wonder like they just stepped from a song Tell me the dream is there as you point over yonder I'd like to agree but then we'd both be wrong
