Come Down 02:31
Everytime that I Come Down Everytime that my face hits the ground Everytime that I lose myself, I'm right back here with you Everytime that I won't sit still Everytime that I can't control Everytime that I hit a wall, it's cause I don't have a clue Oh, when I was a little boy I never understood, why you never gave up But now I know the reason that you never had the means to It was just something stuck in your soul
2.
New Blood 02:52
It's always the same I always see you coming around here Looking for somebody to blame Somebody new Who hasn't been around the block, yea Somebody not quite like you New Blood What are you afraid of? Of some New Blood? What are you afraid of? Nothing to do Let's get drunk and tell each other secrets It's your choice, these last days of your youth You say that it's real So much better when the sun goes down, yea When the money goes in, tell me, how does it feel? New Blood What are you afraid of? Afraid of some New Blood? What are you afraid of? We're New Blood

I Wanna Peel 03:20
"Well, I'll just tell you what you want to hear. I'm gonna break your girlish fears. I tried to get close, I couldn't get near. If I tell you too much, well, baby, I'll get smeered." I Wanna Peel! I've been exceptionally neurotic Nearly all of my life And now it's time to show you what it means When it burns one-thousand and one degrees I Wanna Peel! My days have been insufferable waiting For that envelope to arrive And I feel deep down inside of my mind I've been hanging onto all of the light I Wanna Peel! Do you know what it's like to be addicted to something that you never see? Well, I've got fifty reasons why you should just stop over tonight I Wanna Peel! Well I Wanna Peel with you.

Losing Streak Losing Streak Losing Streak I'm on a Losing Streak Well, I can't afford that Nobody every gives me the time I can't make anyone happy Everybody says I'm behind Losing Streak Losing Streak I keep on trying and trying I'm on a Losing Streak Well I spilled gin all over my cigarettes My friends have moved on, but I can't forget Can you give me a ride home? I'm used to being alone Losing Streak Losing Streak I keep on trying and trying I'm on a Losing Streak Well I can't find my keys cause I drank too much My girlfriend left me, says I'm out of touch Nobody ever invites me out I just broke my forty ounce Losing Streak Losing Streak I keep on trying and trying I'm on a Losing Streak

Kiss Off 02:40
There's only one thing I want There's only one thing I need There's only one thing I want Let me tell ya, I want you But when I went to get you a drink I came back, and you must have split So, next time that you see me, honey, I'll be kissing someone elses lips Life's not much fun When you don't love anyone Well this is what you told me As you tried to kiss and hold me Oh no! Well, some of the things you do Some things you say They make me laugh, haha Good night

You say you wanna be somebody When You Grow Up You say you wanna be somebody When You Grow Up You tell me all the things you're thinking of And you say you wanna be somebody When You Grow Up Well all you do is sitting here, lying, crying Watching all the bills multiply, you gotta Get up and go You gotta show all the people what you know And when they say it's all been done you say Man, I'm just trying to have some fun You will never go back home again You will never go back home again You don't have any more family, no more friends You will never go back home again All you do is sitting here, lying, crying Watching all the bills multiply, you gotta Get up and go You gotta show all the people what you know And when they say it's all been done you say Man, I'm just trying to have some fun Hey you hear what happened to that guy Grant here last week? Yea, dog food That's what I heard Hey, feel good all the time, right?! Yea! You gotta Get up and go You gotta show all the people what you know And when they say it's all been done you say Man, I'm just trying to have some fun

I see you stumbling around With your black shades on Searching for your pride Or whatever you can buy The devil may care But baby not you You got a cruel attitue Yea, it's a real lost art Now you're Back To Your Old Ways joe Sleeping on the streets again Back To Your Old Ways joe Sleeping on the streets again Now you only use Common sense To get yourself out In desperation Well people think you're green But baby, not me! You got everything they crave We've been young for a very long, long time Back To Your Old Ways joe Sleeping on the streets again Back To Your Old Ways joe Sleeping on the streets again Changing bad habits Some you never do Now it's a struggle everyday When you shock everyone that you meet To you it's not alcohol It's just some kind of medicine It's like you're standing in a lake Of burning gasoline Back To Your Old Ways joe Sleeping on the streets again Back To Your Old Ways joe Sleeping on the streets again Oh I see you You better cut that out! Aww, you're Back To Your Old Ways again
8.
I don't always do what I want to do I don't always say what I mean to say But what they say is true I'm in love with you I'm gonna hold you in my arms but Not today Cause I'm the King Of The Last Minute yea I don't look back I'm the King Of The Last Minute yea Every time that I think about it It drives me wild The way you make my pockets shake I always win There's a rose tattoo over my heart I'm a real wild child I tried so hard but I can't escape This place I'm in
