Ballad of Alexandra
03:51

He says, "I can't complain. I'm just doin' what I love."
My son stays out, while stars are above
I won't be the one
to let him become a man.
He draws more blood than a nursing nun
hand hold balloon, and his pocket a gun
I won't be the one
to let him pursue his plan.
Well, all he was is growing out
And all he is, is growing in my lawn.
All he was is growing out
And all he is, is growing in my lawn.
If you weren't high you would have seen me
Standing before you with eyes that fry.
If you weren't high you would have believed me,
It was a pleasure to watch you die.
It was a pleasure to watch you die.
It was a pleasure to watch you die.
It was a pleasure to watch you die.
There's something strange in slaying what you love
She said, "...I'll pass on the pain.."
and, "...there was nothing there to love..."
That boy was the devil.
And I just had to put him out.
The needles left with the magnum
She was glorius and clean.
You'd be a stifled kind of woman
If you had seen what I had seen
That boy was the devil.
And I just had to put him out.
Well, all he was is growing out
And all he is, is growing in my lawn.
All he was is growing out
And all he is, is growing in my lawn.
If you weren't high you would have seen me
Standing before you with eyes that fry.
If you weren't high you would have believed me,
It was a pleasure to watch you die.
It was a pleasure to watch you die.
It was a pleasure to watch you die.
It was a pleasure to watch you die.

Right On Cue

I've seen your head shake
And I've known misery
Each and everyday, you've neglected me
Everything's alright
She says to me.
Still I doubt myself, and I can't help but notice when..
Right on cue you flake out on me again
What am I to do?
What am I to believe when
Right on cue
I need to know now baby
This shit is drivin' me crazy
We used to walk in the park
Flirting in the breeze
Your smile is still so precious
But rare...
It saddens me
Let me lift the fog
Or make it rain
I suffer goin nowhere
And it drives me insane when
Right on cue
Tellin you the truth, don't play around with me
Right on cue
And I'm determined to leave
These childish games to someone else
Grow up a little myself
Turn me away
Or love me do
Look at my face
Put yourself in my shoes
All I want is it all
And that's what I'm askin for
I'll be standing tall
High up and relaxin when
Right on cue
You flake out on me again
What am I to do
What am I to believe when
Right on cue
So I say
Enjoy the sun, or make it rain

River Queen
05:30

Our eyes could swing in harmony
To the rolling water, Cajun bitter banter
Down a river with a pair of Queens
He knows he’s lost it, he slips in with an Ace
I can’t believe what I’ve just been told
Death’s mystery, I must behold
Heart beating out of my chest
Gun at my head, there’s no rest for the wicked.
It's a shame that he had to know
and what a shame he wouldn't let it go, with a
Jab
Jab
Jab
to his jugular, we sing the silent hymn
Overboard with that criminal
On this ship there’s no question who’s king
Ace up his sleeve, and soon to be floating downstream
Passed the cabin of Madam Veronique
She lost her man, the antique of the century
Little kip, we know he kept it clean
He’d mop to the left, with a burgundy stain to the right
Watchman Cook, they said he couldn’t sleep
Well he must have been, as we threw him over the deck.
It's a shame that he had to know
and what a shame he wouldn't let it go, with a
Jab
Jab
Jab
to his jugular, we sing the silent hymn
Overboard with that criminal
It’s all so clear to me…
The breathing
The shaking
The bleeding
The quaking.
Take a limb, boys, or you'll join him in the river.

I'm drifting dream to dream
And the ones I find the most entertaining
Are the ones you share with me
You always see me standing here
I always see you over there
But tonight you walk my way
And you say, what will it be well
I want this
You know me

You show me

Show you
The real me
I'm a king girl
And I want you
To be my queen girl
Your my dream girl
You rock my world
Got me intrigued girl

Valley of the Falls

There's a place where the water flows
Fast as time flies
In the Valley of the Falls
Where the snow covered mountains rise
In this valley's where I spend my time
Faster than my money goes
In the Valley of the Falls
Where the cold water river flows
As I sit below these peaks
And let time drift away
I wonder why my time was spent
In places that I could not stay
In this place where the water flows
Fast as time flies
I sit and think about
The Island in the sky
What awaits and what's to come
No one knows for sure at all
But I sit and contemplate
In the Valley of the Falls

You Gotta Wanna

You gotta wanna
feel you gotta
get away
The Captain Man
he come, he say
Stay, Stay, Stay.
You gotta wanna
feel you gotta
soak in the sun
steps 1, 2, and 3, skip 'em
it's easy, just run.
The bait is pain
though the way ain't paved
come on now
use your brain.
You gotta wanna
feel you gotta
get away.
Just Run.
Emancipate the Gun
Proclaim your run.
Just Run.
Come on boy, do it some.

Treatment
it wont last forever
if only for a moment
spent in loving light.
Freedom
their eyes are watching Hell
so cautious not to tell
you know they have the rite.
It's the Chemistry of Wisdom
the Symmetry of Souls as they rise
the Monarchy
I see them now,
Gathered round,
The Chemical Tribe.
Pain
skin slides from the bone
they say it makes you whole
they say you'll be alright
Phantom
you've the power of the sun
so pass the smoking gun
and we'll all rot tonight.
It's the Chemistry of Wisdom
the Symmetry of Souls as they rise
the Monarchy
I see them now,
Gathered round,
The Chemical Tribe.
