Easy Way Out (Headshrinker)
I got it in my mind to do something wrong
I want to shed my skin I've been in it way too long
And I feel just like a ghost
With no-one to haunt
Empty my broken head
It's all filled up with what I can't recall
Tear out my broken heart
I want to feel the pain or nothing at all
I was just looking for an easy way out
How long will this take and do I have to wait?
And when the jackets on should I plead insane?
Doc how do you find the time
For all the crazies in world?
Patch up my broken life
It's all banged up from one to many falls
Seal up my vocal chords
I don't want to speak from this lonely chair to the walls
I was just looking for an easy way out
I was just looking for an easy way out
I was just looking for an easy way out
And I feel just like a ghost
With no-one to haunt
Empty my broken head
It's all filled up with what I can't recall
Tear out my broken heart
I want to feel the pain or nothing at all
Seal up my vocal chords
I don't want to speak from this lonely chair to the walls
I was just looking for an easy way out
I was just looking for an easy way out
I was just looking for an easy way out

My Alter Ego Says Hello

My Alter Ego Sys Hello
I hear it talking in my head
And breathing deeply through my nose
I feel it slip into my skin
Light up a cigarette then blow
My alter ego say's hello
My alter ego say's hello
It's cracking jokes and talking wild
Collection numbers as it goes
Debating arbitrary facts
So watch your girlfriend Romeo
When my alter ego says hello
When my alter ego says hello
I think Im losing my grip
It's riding high I'm laying low
My troubles grow my egos laughing
And I'm about to explode
I have a monster in my head
I've fed it well and watched it grow
But now it's cut off my connection
One of us has to go
My alter egos in control
My alter egos in control
My alter ego says hello

Dirty Blonde Hair
Dirty blonde hair
My new girl she's got dirty blonde hair
Dirty blonde hair
My new girl she's got dirty blonde hair
I don't care what you say
I will forget you someday, someday, someday
Alcohol and cocaine
Have never been a problem for me
But a beauty queen with raven hair
Is like a disease
Consuming me
I can't break free from her
Dirty blonde hair
My new girl she's got dirty blonde hair
Dirty blonde hair
My new girl she's got dirty blonde hair
I don't care what you say
I will forget you someday, someday, someday

Cocaine Nights

Cocaine Nights
Cocaine nights
Cocaine nights
Under the neon lights
Dreams turned to dust by a thin white line
Cocaine eyes
Cocaine lies
She never cries
But she never smiles anymore
Just another small-town daughter
Out in L A with no script
Wound up selling flowers and blow jobs
To fund a fix
As she waits on a lonely corner
For the shadow man
She can hear her mama crying
As she breaks her heart again
Cocaine nights
Cocaine nights
Under the neon lights
Dreams turned to dust by a thin white line
Salvation is a fairy tale
When you sin just to stay alive
But she finds hope in a heavenly glow
Via rodeo drive
Cocaine nights
Cocaine nights
Under the neon lights
Dreams turned to dust by a thin white line
Cocaine eyes
Cocaine lies
She never cries
But she never smiles anymore

Wonderful
The clock on the wall keeps time with the breathing
The years now reveal, it’s late in the season
Lines on a face, cracks deep and showing
Scares on a soul, wise in the knowing
Through it all
It’s time to say it’s been wonderful
Just smile and say
It’s been a wonderful life
It’s been a wonderful life
Wonderful, wonderful
It’s been a wonderful life
Wonderful
No mysteries and no deep meaning
Nothing revealed, eternal dreaming
Smiles not the tears, words unspoken
So parts a soul, wise in the knowing
Through it all
It’s time to say it’s been wonderful
Just smile and say
It’s been wonderful
It’s time to say it’s been wonderful
Just smile and say
It’s been a wonderful life
It’s been a wonderful life
Wonderful, wonderful
It’s been a wonderful life
Wonderful
Lines on a face, cracks deep and showing
Scares on a soul, wise in the knowing
Smiles not the tears, words unspoken
So parts a soul, wise in the knowing
It’s been a wonderful life
Wonderful, wonderful
It’s been a wonderful life
Wonderful
