Devil Made Me Do It

Just hear me out listen to my excuses
I don’t doubt the evidence is inconclusive
But swear it’s not my fault
Can’t you see the devil on my shoulder
Bold as brass and he won’t quit till it’s over
I swear it’s not my fault
Don’t blame me blame my devil
The angel on my shoulder blade
He won’t fight back till it’s too late
That devil’s always tempting me
That devils got me beat

I swear to god yeah the devil made me do it
There’s no excuse other than the angel blew it
I swear it’s not my fault
Don’t blame me blame my devil

I can’t help my angel’s no good at this
I can’t tell if he’s just been out of practice
But when that devils round
My angels nowhere to be found

The angel on my shoulder blade
He won’t fight back till it’s too late
That devil’s always tempting me
That devils got me beat

I swear to god yeah the devil made me do it
There’s no excuse other than the angel blew it
I swear it’s not my fault
Don’t blame me blame my devil

Enjoy the Ride

I’m so sick baby
I feel like shit lately
hope you don’t think I’m faking
I swear to god I’m aching
won’t you come and take good care of me
I’m so sick my baby
need some love to save me
Doctor said I’m dying either way
Enjoy the ride!

I can’t take it baby
I might be dead already
My head it won’t stop spinning
My bed is levitating
I’m afraid there’s something very strange
Living inside my body
And speaking in tongues to me
Pastor says all my demons are doing fine
Enjoy the ride!

I know it might sound crazy
I’m hearing voices lately
They say they’re here to help me
They say that I’m not healthy
Lock me up and throw away the key
Those ink blots are confusing
They all look the same to me
My shrink says it’d do me good to lose my mind
Enjoy the ride!

Like an Animal

Get up get down get out I won’t tell you twice
She don’t know how to play nice
You don’t understand
You don’t stand a chance

She’s a woman make you lose control
She’s a woman maybe eat your soul
She’s a woman like an animal
She’s a woman what a woman
Yeah!

You don’t She’s so insatiable
Her appetite for blood and lust is never full
Watch out because here she comes
She locks her eyes on you
You know you’d better run

She’s a woman like a broken bottle
Sate your thirst than gut you hollow
She’s woman what a woman
Got me down to my last dollar
Felt so good make a grown man holler
She’s a woman what a woman
Yeah!

Mrs. Sippy

I’ve been searching for a long time
Looking for that I need
Doesn’t matter what I’m after
Just fill this whole that’s inside of me
This self-destructive life that I’ve lived
Is it you or a part of me
Got my cross and got my burden
just you and me and the willow tree

and I said
Oh, it’s been a long time since you walked out on me
and you got me thinking
I don’t need your sunshine I don’t need a god damned thing

I’ve been searching for a reason
Light house won’t you shine for me
Got my six string and my box spring
On this road and that’s all I need
I spent all night long writing this song
It’s so hard to fell sincerity
It’s a damn shame there’s only me to blame
And lord knows I’ll pay the penalty

and I said
How long has it been now since the street of New Orleans
and you got me thinking
How I miss my river I miss my home Mississippi

Something for Nothing

You can’t get something for nothing
You can’t get nothing for free
You want to be part of something
But you don’t want to believe
You can squeeze stones forever
But you can’t get them to bleed
You know exactly what you want
But not a clue what you need

And if weren’t such a good lover
I would leave you for some other company

You never work hard for nothing
You want it handed to you
Like you’re entitled to something
For getting up before noon
You never needed excuses
You do what you want to do
Cuz double standards are something that I’m just not privy to
it’s getting harder and harder to keep you happy it seems
you never admit your mistakes you blame all of them on me
you keep a list in your head of all of my shortcomings
pretty sure that it’s not a sin if I don’t call to check in

Takes What’s Mine

Goodbye my holy ghost You know you weren’t that close
A friend of me I’m breaking through this door
me and my nevermore But what broke free
If I’ve told you once I’ve told you a thousand times
It’s time you realize I take what’s mine
no excuse for all your alibis will help me through this time
They’ve been all lies
I’ll take what’s mine

She’s got the eyes of a demon looking for some fun
Better load up on holy water and lord don’t forget your guns
I never thought so much could happen just shoot from the hip
Said if we’re going to go to hell we might as well enjoy the trip
That’s why I sold my soul to Satan but it wasn’t enough
We’re going to ride this train to hell till the wheels fall off

Goodbye my innocence I must insist that you leave
I’m walking through that door me and my nevermore just watch and see
Hold on tight but don’t dare close your eyes white knuckle through this ride Far from alright
The holy ghost has left us both now by this time It’s damn near suicide just you and I 
I’ll take what’s mine

The Fever

Outside the cold wind blows 3 x’s
But this fever got me ripping off your clothes
That’s right now

You got the fever in your hands and on your lips
You got the fever in your eyes your finger tips
You got me thinking so impure I can’t take it anymore
You got the fever…..i got the cure

God help us if it snows 3 x’s
But this fever got me ripping off your clothes
That’s right now

Them bedroom walls been froze 3 x’s
But this fever got me ripping off your clothes
That’s right now

Oh you’re burning up your burning up for me
And I….I’m all the cure I’m all the cure you need

You got the fever in your hands and on your lips
You got the fever in your eyes your finger tips
You got me begging you for more
You got my clothes across the floor
You got me aching for the cure lord I surrender
You got me thinking so impure I can’t take it anymore
You got the fever…..i got the cure

The Graveyard

The graveyard is cold and lonely
My neighbors are skeletons
We stay up late and drink ourselves
Into oblivion
So how do you like my coffin
How do you like my tomb
The spirits and I agree that I
Should find someone dead like you
Livings not safe for me what makes it safe for you

Cold as a tombstone I left my heart down in the grave
No voodoo witch doctor could raise
Don’t need no ritual, you keep your sacrifice away
There’s nothing left of it to save
I left my heart to rot down in the bottom of a grave

When you’re dead you don’t feel nothing
If you don’t want to feel no more
You’re hollow when you are dead inside
So what are you waiting for
Livings not safe for me what makes it safe for you
take my dead hand and be one with the night
i want you so bad kiss the living goodbye
don’t look so sad welcome to your unlife

Wet Dream

There’s something terribly wrong with me
Somethings aren’t exactly what they seem
Last night she came to me
She slid between my sheets
I’m not sure what happened exactly
It’s every night this keeps happening
She slips in as I drift off to sleep
And when she comes to me
Can’t tell if I’m dreaming
I made a mess last night of my sheets

These walls are closing in
Like an apparition
Can’t stand the anticipation

Every night she’s in my dreams
That’s why I find it hard to sleep
And though I want to I can’t scream
With bated breath it’s hard to breathe

I’m so excited to go to sleep
We both know exactly what I mean
And in the morning time
These puddles that I find
You know I don’t mind she’s just a dream

I can’t control these urges that are surging from beneath
These synopses are firing neurons in my sleep
I can’t explain the science must be chemistry
‘Cuz no one has ever had this effect on me

Wicked Ways

It wasn’t long ago
I believed I was safe
Now all your monsters
Are keeping me awake
Try your best to hide them
But I’ve seen her face
She wasn’t much to look at now
No matter what you say

And I wanna believe her but I’m too afraid
Of her wicked ways
All your wicked ways

Horns for Halos 

I saw you from across a dark lit room
The music poured out through the avenue
When you walked in it changed my attitude
I’m going to do so many things to you

I’ve got you’re scent, my sights set on you
You couldn’t escape if you wanted too
Make no mistake it’s purely physical
you’re not quite perfect but tonight you’ll do 

I’m no good for you and I hope you don’t
Confuse my horns for Halos cuz I won’t
I’m no good for you so don’t get too close
I’m not the kinda guy you want to know 

I should’ve warned you but I’ll continue
To hunt you down and then I’ll tear into you
Do everything I ever wanted to
So many things I’m going to do to you 

I’m no good for you and I hope you don’t
Confuse my horns for Halos cuz I won’t
I’m no good for you so don’t get too close
I’m not the kinda guy you want to know

Memento Mori

I met the devil
So long ago at the crossroads
I met the devil
In the dead of night where the cold wind blows
If you ever meet the devil
You tell her I’m coming for her soul

I met the devil
And been through Dante’s inferno
I met the devil
I shook her hand and sold my soul
If you ever meet the devil
You tell that bitch she’s on my throne

I met the devil
And just like that my soul was sold
I met the devil
Her silver tongue was sharp and cold
If you ever meet the devil
You better tell her
If you ever meet the devil
You better tell her
If you ever meet the devil
You tell that bitch I’m coming home

Soapbox Blues

I don’t want to go to work today 
Somebody’s better send me home 4X
I don’t want to drink alone tonight 
But I will so you’d better go 4X 
I don’t want to sleep alone tonight 
Somebody better take me home 4X 

Get up on that soapbox baby
Get up on that soapbox speak your truth 
If you don’t I’m so scared for you
If you don’t I’m scared you’ll blow a fuse 
Sing it loud and preach on preacher 
Sing it loud and preach those soapbox blues
Those soapbox blues 

The Bottom

How much longer will it hold the weight
It’s taken all the abuse it can take
How much longer will it hold before it breaks

The whole damn thing started falling to pieces
And you want to argue which way it leans
I swear to God there’s nothing I can do to please

How long for the bottom
How long for the bottom to fall out
How long for the bottom
How long till it gives away

I don’t think it’s going to last much longer
And I don’t want to watch it get destroyed
But everything that we have built has reached its breaking point

Try to be careful when it topples over
Watch where you’re stepping
Walking through debris
My whole life is in that rubble and what’s left of me

Once you was my baby
Twice you let me down
Three times shame on me
But you’re never going to get
you fourth in now
