"Daly City Train"

start of lyrics He was an artist and a writer


and a poet and a friend
In a man's life he will take a fall
but how low he goes it just depends
He's shooting dope in the men's room
at the station daly city train
Have you ever seen an angel?
Well I know I have.
See, they'll stay here for a while, then they'll fly away
[Chorus: x2]
Jackyl had a beer in his hand last time I seen him
When he rolled the dice he never thought twice
never thought twice about being him
Some grown up and some grow old
But what about the kid who never learned the rules?
Spent all these years on this earth
when you look back it's just a flicker of time
Jackyl was one of the one's that perished
Yeah, he was one of the ones that was already saved
Through all the evil and wreckage, yeah
he maintained a sense of himself, yeah
[Chorus x2]
Some men are in prison even though they walk the streets at
night
Other men who got the lockdown are free as a bird in flight
How 'bout the hour in the system that has ended
In a one-way line out measures could not stand it.
[Chorus x2]

"Old Friend"
start of lyrics [Chorus: x2]
Good morning heartache
you're like an old friend
come and see me again
Look up you're in Cleveland again
a solid line that never ends
I've got stories that you'll never believe
and I know it I wear it I wear it on my sleeve
There must be somethin' about you that I liked
but right here in the rain you know it just don't seem right
I always go out I never hide
but in Cleveland I should have stayed inside
[Chorus]
Testify my love for you
and I know it runs deep through your body too
from the cold blacktop to the hot concrete
the old tan van it ain't so sweet
[Chorus]
Somewhere in America in the city at night
we were far from home but you know it was gonna be alright
The unfortunate get prayed on by vultures eyes
86 cents in these pockets of mine
You can take my money, you can take my time
But you can't take my heart, it's in the city behind
[Chorus]

"Maxwell Murder"
start of lyrics Maxwell can't tell he's in hell
He just wants you to visit him there
Same old game that he's playin'
His rules are never fair
Nobody want to look back
Everybody wanna get high tonight
Before they run outta time
Where's the felon the chargeable felon
The name of the crook who committed the crime
Dial 9-9-9 if you really want the truth
Dial 9-9-9 if you can't see it through
He ain't jack the ripper he's your ordinary crook
Calling Maxwell murder for you
Maxwell got a hand in his plan
He knows who you are in this plan
Chop the rock before you bought it
Sick Maxwell knows you got it
Nobody want to look back
Everybody wanna get high tonight
Before they run outta time
Where's the felon, chargeable felon
The name of the crook who committed the crime
Dial 9-9-9 if you really want the truth
Dial 9-9-9 if you can't see it through
He ain't jack the ripper he's your ordinary crook
Calling Maxwell murder for you
Oh Max
You motherfucker
Dial 9-9-9 if you really want the truth
Dial 9-9-9 if you can't see it through
He ain't jack the ripper he's your ordinary crook
Calling Maxwell murder for you

"Time Bomb"
start of lyrics If you wanna make a move then you better come
in
It's just the ability to reason that wears so thin
Living and dying and the stories that are true
Secrets to a good life's knowing when you're through
Black coat, white shoes, black hat, Cadillac. Yeah
The boy's a time bomb
Black coat, white shoes, black hat, Cadillac. Yeah
The boy's a time bomb
Well, he's back in the hole where they got him living
Like a rat but he's smarter than that nine lives
Like a cat 15 years old take him to the youth authority
Home, first thing you learn is that you got to make it in this
world alone
Black coat, white shoes, black hat, Cadillac. Yeah
The boy's a time bomb
Black coat, white shoes, black hat, Cadillac. Yeah
The boy's a time bomb
Now he's gotten out, he's gotten free, he's gotta go, gotta car
He's 21 years old, he's runnin' numbers from the bar
His pager's beepin', he's got in deep in
Whatever he can move on in you know that kid's a creepin'
Black coat, white shoes, black hat, Cadillac. Yeah
The boy's a time bomb
Black coat, white shoes, black hat, Cadillac.
The boy's a time bomb
(Yeah) The boy's a time bomb
Tears come from the razor that's been tattooed below
His eye his mother cries, she knows that he is strong enough
To die he's rollin' in the Cadillac, it's midnight sunroof is down
Three shots rung out the hero's dead, the new king is
crowned.
(chorus)

"Olympia WA."
start of lyrics Hangin' out with Lars down on 6th street
he knew I was in trouble
I was feeling much like the devil
there was something burnin' deep inside of me
ran into three Puerto Ricans
these girls took us to the funhouse
where we played a lonely pinball machine
hangin' on the corner of 52nd. and Broadway
cars passin' by but none of them seem to be goin' my way
New York City well I wish I was on a highway
back to Olympia...
I'm having a hard time understanding
it gets all too demanding
she's all gone and I'm stranded
something burning deep inside of me
all I know it's 4'o'clock and
she ain't never showed up
and I watched a thousand people go home from work
how many times will it take me
before I go crazy
before I lose everything
something burning deep inside of
me ran into three Puerto Ricans
those girls took us to the funhouse
I don't wanna be alone again.

"Ruby Soho"
start of lyrics Echoes of reggae
Coming through my bedroom wall
Having a party up next door but
I'm sitting here all alone
Two lovers in the bedroom
And the other starts to shout
All I got is this blank stare
And that don't carry no clout at all
Destination unknown
Ruby, ruby, ruby, ruby Soho
Destination unknown
Ruby, ruby, ruby, ruby Soho
He's singing
And she's there to lend a hand
He's seen his name on the marquee
But she will never understand
Once again he's leaving
And she's there with a tear in her eye
Embraces with a warm gesture it's time
Time to say goodbye
Destination unknown
Ruby, ruby, ruby, ruby Soho
Destination unknown
Ruby, ruby, ruby, ruby Soho
Ruby's heart ain't beating
Cause she knows the feeling is gone
She's not the only one who knew that
There's something wrong
Her lover's in the distance
As she wipes a tear from her eye
Ruby's fading out, she disappears, it's time,
Time to say goodbye
Destination unknown
Ruby, ruby, ruby, ruby Soho
Destination unknown
Ruby, ruby, ruby, ruby Soho
Ruby, ruby, ruby, ruby, Soho

Ruby, ruby, ruby, ruby, Soho


Ruby, ruby, ruby, ruby, Soho
Ruby, ruby, ruby, ruby, Soho
Destination unknown (Ruby, ruby, ruby, ruby, Soho)
Ruby, ruby, ruby, ruby Soho
Destination unknown (Ruby, ruby, ruby, ruby, Soho)
Ruby, ruby, ruby, ruby Soho
"Junkie Man"
start of lyrics Ahhhhh; Turn it up
The common man doesn't suffer pain like this
Only the soul that has never been kissed
Let us adore our beautiful son
He's ridin' on the rivers of Babylon, oh!
Bootin' up and shootin' up bring on the brightness
See the son of god is comin' up and I see a likeness
Internalize the lunacy of the misery is showin'
When you're brought up you're caught up in a system that's
goin'
No one answers, no one takes that call from you
No one answers, no one takes that call from you
No one answers, no one takes that call from you-ee-you-eeyou-ee-you

Water, water, water, water I desire


Some parents house is on fire
Oh, slowly the house gonna burn to the ground
The neighborhood will watch without a sound
Will someone be a witness? Please tell me that he's crazy
But he's not and they know that and they can't get him, he's
not crazy
Beat lock him knock him take him away his authority

Hit 'em, ship 'em, club 'em submitted conformity


No one answers, no one takes that call from you
No one answers, no one takes that call from you
No one answers, no one takes that call from you-ee-you-eeyou-ee-you

"My hand went blind


You were in the veins; clairvoyant
You were in the veins; clairvoyant
My hand went blind
I make love to my trance sister, my trance sister
And my trance parents see from the balcony
I looked out on the big field
On the big field, it opens
Like the cover of an old bible
And out come the wolves
Out come the wolves!
Their paws trampling in the snow the alphabet
I stand on my head, watch it all go away"
Bootin' up and shootin' up bring on the brightness
See the son of god is comin' up and there is a likeness
