YOU MISSED ME
well,you missed me,baby,that's what everybody said
I said you missed me baby, keeping you warm in bed
but you realy missed me,when you swung that skillet at my head!
well you missed me baby,you missed me deep inside
I said you missed me baby,even though you know you lied
but I'm so glad you missed me,when you threw the TV at my ride!
I don't know what you'll stand for
but you'll fall for anything
I don't know what I planned for
when you drank all the whiskey and pawned your wedding ring yeah yeah
well I missed you baby,like a mule misses summer heat
I said I missed you baby,like I miss a kick in the teeth
but I can't believe I missed you when you were driving on the wrong side of the street
I said you missed me baby,you think your so deprived
I said you missed me baby,you don't care if I'm dead or alive
I'm so glad you missed me baby, when you shot at me with my own 45
I knew that you were crazy,the bullet only grazed me,I'm so glad you missed me baby ,when you shot at me with my own 45
but I 'm still alive!

THIS TIME OF YEAR
well you can't see it coming,the beast is hungry and it's ready to fight!
and yet you can't look away,the crowd smells fear,you'd better hit the ground running!
when it all comes down to pleasure and pain
you're just a victim of your name,one eye on the clock,one eye in the mirror
don't the ice get thin this time of year
well you can't see it coming,the beast is hungry and it's ready to fight!
and yet you can't look away,the crowd smells fear,you'd better hit the ground running!
one foot in the grave,your thumbs on the scale
there's no one can save you from this hell
a word of advice,whispered in your ear
the wind blows ill, this time of year
well you can't see it coming,the beast is hungry and it's ready to fight!
and yet you can't look away,the crowd smells fear,you'd better hit the ground running!
when it all comes down, to pleasure or pain
you're just a victim in the game
no time on the clock, no face in the mirror,
the wind blows ill this time of year
one foot in the grave 
with your thumb on the scale
there's no one can save you from this hell
this time of year,this time of year,this time of year
don't the ice get thin,this time of year!

PAVLOV'S BAD LITTLE CAT
she's the one you don't hear about,if you see her coming you'd better run
man,I'll tell you, she'll scratch you hard
when she catches you in her backyard
like a bolt ,outta the blue,she'll hand you your hat
man,I'm warning you,watch out for that cat,
she's Pavlov's bad little cat
all the other dogs just mind so well
if they don't just ring the bell!
here's one cat that don't play along
if she did we couldn't sing this song!
like a bolt ,outta the blue,she'll hand you your hat
man,I'm warning you,watch out for that cat,
she's Pavlov's bad little cat
now that Pavlov's dead and gone
we can prove his theory wrong
anyone can tell you that,you can never ever heard a cat!
like a bolt ,outta the blue,she'll hand you your hat
man,I'm warning you,watch out for that cat,
she Pavlov's bad little cat,she's Pavlov's bad little cat!

START OVER
Another town another place,another face to look into,
another dance another chance,and a gig from 9:00 till 2:00
another stage another play,just a phase you're going through,
another night another day, and it's over all too soon
I can't say for you,tell you what to do,
but,when you reach the end,
you just start all over again!
it's a dream,it's a scheme,just a step before its time
it's a song three minutes long,and a word that didn't rhyme
it's a thought,it's a plan,hence,fortune dictates will
you're out of town,out of hand,with your fingers in the tilI 
I can't say for you,tell you what to do,
but,when you reach the end,
you just start all over again
the agents fee, the drinks are free,well then,show me to the bar!
off the boat,up in smoke,fortunes won and lost
who'll pay your tab,call you a cab,after the police sweep the room
out of jail,out on bail,and it's over all to soon
I can't say for you,tell you what to do,
but,when you reach the end,
you just start all over again again,again,again!


SHE'S SO BUTCH
six foot two eyes of blue
strutting down the avenue
muscle shirt,tight blue jeans
hasn't shaved downtown,if you know what I mean
talks to all the girls on the street
looking for just the right one to meet
walks right up,looks em straight in the eye
got something to tell you,she ain't no guy
she's so butch
she likes it on top
yeah,she's so butch
they all love it when she pops her top
big black boots,pink tattoos
she don't go for no comfortable shoes
short hair,spiked and gold
her head's so high,and looks so bold
she was the prom queen,their love wouldn't fade
thought she had it made in the shade
left out in the cold,by her old flame
now righteous babes are her only flame
purrs like a kitten,drives like a truck
they all want to feel her stroke of luck
her heart is soft,she's their big,big sister
then she comes on hard,she's a real tongue twister
she's so butch,she likes it on top
she's so butch,you ought to see her when she blows her top
she's so butch.she's so...
she's so butch,she's so...
she's so,so,so!

THE COLD FACTS OF LIFE
You can get what you want
and some things that you don't!
you can have it all
it's Rome before the fall
and it doesn't even have to be,Saturday night
making up your mind
try to find the time
to have it all your way
the kind of strange you pay
Colfax street,where patron and artist meet
man's best friend,just say you knew her when
city lights burning twice
burning up the night
it doesn't have to be so hard 
just turn down the boulevard
everything on display
to take your breath away
and it doesn't even have to be,Saturday night
making up your mind
try to find the time
to have it all your way
the kind of strange you pay
Colfax street,where patron and artist meet
your best friend,just say you knew her when
where ever we go,there you are
where ever we've gone we've gone too far so, if you don't mind,
I guess we're just about shit outta time
it's too cold to be working the boulevard
and I ain't never gonna be the "rock and roll star"
and thats cold,and it's hard,it's cold cold cold,it's hard hard hard,
and it's cold,those facts of life, and it's hard,out on the boulevard.

HOTEL DELAWARE
once in this old hotel,where we stayed,
we sat and dreamed of yesterday
and how all those people,came across the great land
and now it's just home to the traveling band
Hotel Delaware,sad to see that nobody cared
Hotel Delaware,girl you've seen a better time
candle light glimmers,from the top of the stairs
gold chandeliers,and green velveteen chairs
rich fashioned ladies with their furs and their beau's
stove pipe young men in their store bought new clothes
Hotel Delaware,sad to see that nobody cared
Hotel Delaware,girl you've seen a better time
old paper roses,fade on the walls
memories echo,forgotten by all
and how all those people,came across the great land 
and now it's just home to the traveling band
Hotel Delaware,sad to see that nobody cared
Hotel Delaware,girl you've seen a better time
Hotel Delaware,sad to see that nobody cared
Hotel Delaware,girl you've seen a better time
ooh ooh ooh Delaware,sad to see that nobody cared
ohh ohh ohh Delaware,girl you've seen a better time

THE LONE WOLF
I'm your lone wolf, baby,can't you hear me howl
I'm your lone wolf,baby,can't you hear me howl
you'd better watch out,tonight the wolf will prowl
I'm your lone wolf baby,can't you hear me howl
I'm your lone wolf baby,can't you hear me howl
you'd better watch out, tonight the wolf's in town
and when you hear me a howlin,I ain't howlin at the moon,
I'm crying out for lovin,and I hope I get some soon!
I'm your lone wolf baby,can't you hear me howl
I'm your lone wolf ,baby tonight,I'm on the prowl
and when you hear me a howlin,I ain't howlin at the moon,
I'm crying out for lovin,and I hope I get some soon!
I'm your lone wolf baby,can't you hear me howl
I'm your lone wolf ,baby tonight,I'm on the prowl
you see,I run to the north,I run to the south,I run here and there,just to check it all out,
I run to the east, I run to the west,you know I won't settle for second best,
I'm your lone wolf baby, can't you hear me howl
and when you hear me a howlin,I ain't howlin at the moon,
I'm crying out for lovin,and I hope I get some soon!
I'm your lone wolf baby,can't you hear me howl
I'm your lone wolf ,baby, tonight,I'm on the prowl
I'm your lone wolf ,baby, tonight,I'm on the prowl
I'm your lone wolf ,baby, tonight,I'm on the prowl







TAKE MY HAND
Well,you know,I'm no hopeless bar cruiser
and I can see,that was never your way
we could use this time to get closer
if I could only think of something to say,
love's only a word any way
take my hand and lead me astray
about now ,my wife is cleaning up the breakfast dishes,
and I'm sure,that the kids are off to school
but all of that,just seem so far away
from you and me,sittin on these barroom stools
there's no fools like old fools they say
take my hand,and lead me astray
about now, there's people lying to people,in every barroom in the country,
and their lying in those city barrooms to,
in fact,lying has become all the rage!
you lie to me and then I'll lie to you
at the risk of sounding trey cliché,
take my hand and lead me astray

NEW JOHNY B GOODE
he said" mama I'm goin away, I'm leaving,leaving today"
but his mama,she just laughed,you can go son..but don't you ever come back
well, he had to have his way, to have his chance to play
stars are born that way,
playing new Johny B, new Johny B. Goode
new Johny B., new Johny B Goode
you see,his folks,they don't understand
why he travels, in the rock and roll band
the worst thing they could see,
is what Johny,wanted to be
he had a better plan
than livin mouth to hand
and playing one night stands
playing,new Johny B,new Johny B Goode
new Johny B., new Johny B Goode
new Johny B,new Johny B Goode
well, he knew,when he walked out that door
he knew he couldn't stick around,and listen to that bullshit no more!
now his folks,they can't give him no grief
cause they're off,off social relief
livin it up,to the hilt,in the house that rock and roll built 
now, you hear his parents say,when they come to hear him play
"we knew you'd make good someday"
playing,new Johny B,new Johny B Goode
new Johny B., new Johny B Goode
new Johny B,new Johny B Goode
new Johny B,new Johny B Goode







 

TONIGHT
Tonight, the lights are shining bright
Burning, Burning up the night
I'd forget about today
Make it go away,I know it'll be alright
Tonight
Today, I just got my pay
My girl, she sees things my way
We'll go on and on and on, 
Till all the money's gone
I know it will be all right
Tonight
I don't care about the sorrows of the world
The ways to cry 
That's not in my world tonight
And I don't care about the troubles of the world
No,not I , that's not in my world tonight
I just got paid today,my girl sees things my way
We'll go on and on, till all my moneys gone
tonight, I feel good tonight
So good tonight
Tonight 
Tonight


 

Industrial man, that’s who I am My time’s all spent on the hammer, and my green goes to Uncle Sam

Industrial blues got me down with a ball and chain

That’s why I drink this dumpster booze, for my industrial pain

 Then I wake up, I can’t get up, wipe the Bourbon from my eyes

Can't take another day of all those industrial lies

So I get up, but can't wake up, city heat’s a blow to the head

I missed the bus downtown, and crawl back into my bed 

Industrial man I really got slammed My head just got split by a jack boot kick from the industrial police man Industrial blues really got be beat Got the wrong end of some voodoo, now got two left shoes on my feet Chorus Then I wake up, I can’t get up, wipe the bourbon from my eyes Can't take another day of all those industrial lies

So I get up, but can't wake up, city heat’s a blow to the head

I missed the bus downtown, and crawl back into my bed

Industrial man, I got a real backbone jam

Me and my guitar don't fit in no industrial plan

Industrial blues, really got me beat

I had to steal these shoes, like some damn wino on the street. 

Then I wake up, I can’t get up, wipe the Bourbon from my eyes

Can't take another day of all those industrial lies

So I get up, but can't wake up, city heat’s a blow to the head

I missed the bus downtown, and crawl back into my bed

Industrial man, me and my guitar don't fit in nobody's damn plan

I'm sick of all those dirty lies, under these charcoal industrial skies

Living in a land of waste and refuse,

digging through these dumpsters for my last call booze

Man I had to steal these shoes, and they're both left....damn. 
