Keep Your Friends Closer 04:01
lyrics
download
Here I am burning in the sun I'm three days away from New York rain It's so weird not knowing anyone But everybody knows my Spanish name Keep your enemies close Keep your friends closer Who's that there lying in my bed It's not like you to count the cards I deal Love this way is gambling instead Our hearts spin round as if they're roulette wheels Here I am with you in the café The New York rain is still falling down Is that her emerging through the haze She says Senor it's time to pay up now

Don't Cry Jane 02:27
lyrics
download
My feet are made of clay They walk through weary days My flesh is satisfied With love and blood red wine I hear the songs of sirens Don't cry Jane for me I will set out to sea When angles call for me The wind will catch my sails I'll weather stormy gales And tell such ancient tales Don't cry Jane for me

Got No Time To Kill 02:29
lyrics
download
Here come the kids onto the streets The sleeping giant is on his feet They've got tech rhythm and cyber souls And no allegiance to Rock and Roll If you haven't seen them Open your eyes, you will They're feeling bored And they've got no time to kill They don't give a damned about your battle lines Ten year plans or grand designs Their minds aren't messed up on the drugs Give them orders and they just shrug If you haven't heard them Open your ears, you will They're feeling pissed And they've got no time to kill Just when we thought That everything was lost They have no patience for thin excuse We'll see how short is the burning fuse The world we hand them is all worn out Who can blame them if they shout us down If you haven't met them Look around, you will They're children now And they've got no time to kill

That Low 02:51
lyrics
download
Baby, tell me, where did you spend last night? Down in the Bowery, curled up in fright. Down in the Bowery, curled up in fright. Baby, tell me, where did our money go? Took it down to Harlem waiting for the snow. Took it down to Harlem waiting for the snow. I'm that low. I'm that low. Baby, don't you love me no more? My good Christian heart is rotten to the core. My good Christian heart is rotten to the core. Baby, can't you just let it go? I'll be back on Sunday, I'll let you know. I'll be back on Sunday, I'll let you know. I'm that low. I'm that low.

Philadelphia 03:01
lyrics
download
Bust a bottle Cut his throat Take your best swing And brake his nose Shot of whiskey Wash it down It's a bitter pill Can you feel it now Got to go out and face the crowd Philadelphia Philadelphia Philadelphia Philadelphia Dirty laundry Makes the news Got an old friend Giving interviews Vague positions Changing sides Parse every word With those alibies When lips are moving they're telling lies Philadelphia Philadelphia Philadelphia Philadelphia

Forever Gone 03:03
lyrics
download
Time stand still Freeze the Sun I won't move I will not run Make her stay Keep her young She won't age She will not run I know tomorrow Comes with the dawn And when she leaves me She's forever gone She's forever gone She's forever gone Sea turns cold Winter comes She would not stay She had to run I am alone Summer is done Can't go home I would not run I know tomorrow Comes with the dawn And when she leaves me She's forever gone She's forever gone She's forever gone

Combat Zone 02:03
lyrics
download
Look at Tommy Move so proudly With his platforms on I think it's clear He ain't no queer He's in the combat zone In the combat zone In the combat zone In the combat zone He's in the zone They say Susie Looks like Bowie On the Diamond Dogs She ain't no whore She just wants more She's in the combat zone In the combat zone In the combat zone In the combat zone She's in the zone I don't have passion For that fashion It's not like back home The music's groovy It shoots right through me In the combat zone In the combat zone In the combat zone In the combat zone I'm in the zone

We Will Be One 02:01
lyrics
download
Hear the thunder See the lighting Hold my hand And we will be one Never fear I'm right beside you In the darkness We will be one We will be one We will be one Concentrate On all the good things No more worries We will be one Let the sea breeze Set you flying Spread your wings And we will be one We will be one We will be one

Last Man On Earth 02:11
lyrics
download
I am so selfish I am the last man on earth I don't give a sh*t About anyone else I hurt I am the last man on earth You say you are here I've got dark glasses on You say you are there In my mind you are so gone In my mind you are so gone It's so easy being first When you're the last man on earth I am the last man on earth

Giant People 03:29
lyrics
download
Giant people moving in Guess we're moving out again Giant people are everywhere Giant people they just don't care Oh, oh, oh Giant people think they're cool Send big kids to our little school Giant people don't work at all Now they shop at our brand new mall Oh, oh, oh Giant people make me feel so small We are all the same I agree it's true Please do unto me As I do unto you Giant people don't look like us They like to drink and they're full of lust Giant people don't follow laws Biggest losers I ever saw Oh, oh, oh Giant people make me feel so small
