HEAD HANGING LOW Head hanging low Miserable girl Well you can blame me for your faults And your unprotected thoughts Everybody knows you’re guilty It’s really no reason to hate yourself Head hanging low Homicide girl He bought a paper from the stand But the ink got on his hands And the headlines screaming It’s really no reason to hate yourself I’m waiting for something I watch the clouds blowing by I feel so eternal I hang my head and I cry “Five minutes,” stagehand said Red curtain rise from the dead Mind reader she told me My fortune’s already been spent Head hanging low Second hand girl There is trouble if you want You can watch it on TV Doesn’t give you any reason Really doesn't give you any reason You ain't got no reason 13 VIOLETS With my thoughts erased and my work undone And overwhelming suspicion you’ll never know Haunting me like a ghost thinking how suddenly You won’t be here with me anymore 13 violets wrapped in plastic Meant for someone I once trusted Have been destroyed I threw ‘em away I changed my mind ‘bout half the way It ended tragically guess it was meant to be They threw a farewell party nobody showed My eyes are blind with sleep remembering to keep Our love a memory heretofore 13 violets cellophane plastic Tossed inside a wastepaper basket Have been destroyed I threw ‘em away I changed my mind ‘bout half the way 13 violets now lay dying Left behind me unrequited They've been destroyed I threw ‘em away I changed my mind I changed my mind I changed my mind ‘bout half the way 5 STARS Ooh, I’m back on solid ground Ooh, out of the lost and found Yeah, I feel pretty good whenever you ain’t around But you walk in the room and I breakdown Ooh, call me the lucky one Ooh, who got caught with the gun Yeah, I go to sleep at night and try to settle down But I see you in my dreams and then I breakdown Try a little bit later And I know I will succeed That girl is driving me crazy She’s got exactly what I need I’m addicted Can’t get enough of it Get her out of my heart Get her out of my head Ooh, I saw the silhouette Ooh, flash with the TV set I watched him die in your arms How dare you mess me around? And the judge finds me guilty and then I breakdown QUEEN OF THE DEAD I met a small town boo girl She had a cobweb tattoo around her vacant hollowed eyes And then I tried to analyze her lunch pail glitter mind She’s all I want Queen of the dead She looks to tarot readings To find a kindred spirit somewhere in lonely town one day You know she’d like a scary wedding a cemetery setting Wish she was mine Queen of the dead Dead I saw the lightning flashing I heard the thunder crashing Lying in open caskets Then, the other side of midnight a black cat crossed my path She rests in peace Queen of the dead She rests in peace Queen of the dead Queen of the dead FOUR WALLS Four walls around me Four walls of pain Four walls surround me And they all know your name I’m tired of trying And I know I’m not to blame But I’m stuck inside of these four walls again I got four walls ahead of me Four walls behind Four walls are strangling My worried mind Four walls around me I’ve got nowhere to go Rain falls down on this weary town Lonesome whistle blows You’d think by now I’d be used to the pain But I’m stuck inside of these four walls again I got four walls ahead of me Four walls behind Four walls are strangling My worried mind Four walls that stop me from walking away This misery and heartache Are the price that I pay I cried out for mercy And nobody came I’m stuck inside of these four walls again I got four walls ahead of me Four walls behind Four walls are strangling My worried mind TURBULENCE Checked in a flat top acoustic with an f-hole and a capo I was feeling paranoid and being ripped off like a label I buried my head inside a paper bag I was breathing the fumes of a burning flag Fasten and relax it’s got a light and a whistle I had a shot and a beer and we took off just like a missile My legs were all twisted and so were my thoughts She caught me with my top down and tried to put it in a knot Wake me when it’s shaking Calm the situation Wake, wake, wake Elevator Aviator Don’t desecrate me I climbed a terminal gate and started chasing down a taxi It took an hour and a half just to drive back through the traffic The bald head lady invited me in She sat me down on her knee and fed me medicine FUEL THE FIRE You always seem to be so full of negativity I guess you never will be satisfied Did we get together just to burn one another? Sneaking ‘round igniting little lies I don’t mean to sound so insecure honey But do you fuck me out of spite? Fuel the fire Accusations flying off your vicious razor tongue Lashing your slashing remarks Now that you met your match you took your lucky strike baby Just to feel the heat of the sparks Here come the aggravator trying to let off some steam By dousing it with gasoline Fuel the fire I sat through all the credits for your low budget movies Precursor to the lesson learned The wise man said before he went up in flames, “You play with fire, you’re going to get burned” There ain’t no more water in the bottom of the well Is it me or is it hotter than hell? Fuel the fire DID YOU SEE IT? Policemen had us line up at sunrise Fighting in the hotel bar Germans singing choruses of California Girls Passing ‘round a borrowed guitar Did you see it? Did you see it? Did you see it? I heard a heavy accent talking ‘bout the same damn trouble as mine Don’t make no difference whose name you been calling It’s the same one we're all trying to find Did you see it? Did you see it? Tell me, did you see it? Knocking down the Tulsa hog flat on the stage Change for the laundromat Got to meet the man Billy Gibbons backstage Of course he wore his favorite hat Did you see it? Did you see it? Tell me, did you see it? Everybody waving their fingers And they wonder why I’m paranoid The fools who make the rules check your passport pictures Are the ones that we are trying to avoid Did you see it? Did you see it? Did you see it? Did you see it? Did you see it? Tell me, did you see it?

(Europe version only) I can't keep my head Sheets are covered in red I know it might sound crazy, insane Instead of getting wasted I should be getting paid It's only rock & roll, but it's all i know What if it kills me? Time won't stand still Can't live forever No matter how hard i try Falling asleep at the wheel I can't explain how I feel I get so impatient, I want it now Instead of getting wasted I should be getting laid It's only rock & roll, but it's all I know What if it kills me? Time won't stand still Can't live forever No matter how hard I try I can't keep my head Sheets are covered in red I will die trying Not to die What if it kills me? Time won't stand still Can't live forever No matter how hard I try STARLETT (Europe version only) "Perhaps you heard of me," he said "I'm your new best friend" Everybody turned their heads When someone else walked in I'm not from here Don't matter where I've been Only thing that matters Where you're going in the end Star struck Precious people Lonely boulevard Hard luck My city It's gonna tear you apart On her knees, on the pavement She tried but her hands don't fit Marilyn was out of reach She could tell by her fingertips Another party Tell me who do you know?
