1.	Runaround 04:02	lyrics
You say you can’t be changed You say it’s not the time You say today’s the day You say tomorrow’s fine Won’t you let me go? Must you play these games? This time, you can’t hang on You don’t want me Why you gotta lie, just lay it down Why you gotta say what I wanna hear Why you always givin’ me The runaround? You cry, I love you so You cry, this time I will go You cry, my heart is breaking You cry, I’ll live without you Won’t you let me go? Must you play these games? This time, you can’t hang on You don’t want me Why you gotta lie, just lay it down Why you gotta say what I wanna hear Why you always givin’ me The runaround? Why you always givin’ me the runaround? You got something to say? Just say it! You scream, I don’t need you You scream, don’t go away You scream, please forgive me You scream, just forget me Won’t you let me go? Must you play these games? This time, you can’t hang on You don’t want me Why you gotta lie, just lay it down Why you gotta say what I wanna hear Why you gotta lie, just lay it down Why you gotta say what I wanna hear Why you always givin’ me the motherfuckin’ runaround?
2.	Nuisance 03:11	lyrics
What is the mindset of the one who lives out in the middle of where I call nowhere? No one around many miles to town, everyone knows their name when they go there. They hear through the trees disrupt to their peace, callin’ in on the phone to the sheriff. He said, “You can’t make that noise, you don’t have a choice, we consider your music a nuisance.” It’s in our veins It’s in our souls We are the music It lifts us up And makes us whole We are the music A young teenage boy trying to find his own way starts a band with a few of his buddies. From garage to garage creating music from thought, parents tell them their hobby’s disturbing. Would we rather them be out on the streets causing trouble from pure utter boredom? When did we become unable to see its life that music has given? It’s in our veins It’s in our souls We are the music It picks us up And makes us whole We are the music Flows from our minds And through our hands We are the music It makes us sing It makes us dance We are the music Oh well, what do they know? They don’t know. Some just can’t see how good it can be. How do we fight this? No way to defy it. What would this place be if we stopped creating? Oh, we are the music. Who do they think they are It’s in our veins It’s in our souls We are the music It picks us up And makes us whole We are the music Flows from our minds And through our hands We are the music It makes us sing It makes us dance We are the music Oh well…. What do they know?
3.	I Want Out 03:46	lyrics
My daddy always told me to think with a mind of my own To often ask the difficult questions and find the answers myself What I never learned was how to take it all in stride To stand up for what I believe in when I’d much rather run I want out An escape route I wanna live on the moon My own rules No fools Nobody dragging me down, yeah To go where There’s no fear Far away from here I wanna live, wanna live how I’ll live my life I want out, I want out, I want out of here Ever since the day I could talk, I’ve sought to be free From the pressures and expectations of who they think I should be I just wanna spend my life in some kind of peace I’ve been down this road before if you know what I mean I want out An escape route I wanna live on the moon My own rules No fools Nobody dragging me down, yeah To go where There’s no fear Far away from here I wanna live, wanna live, how I’ll live my life I want out, I want out, I want out of here Yeah, yeah, yeah I want out Get me out Far away from here No rules, no fools Far away I want out Get me out Get me out, out Oh yeah get me out An escape route I wanna live on the moon My own rules No fools Nobody dragging me down, yeah To go where There’s no fear Far away from here I wanna live, wanna live how I’ll live my life Oh yeah, hell yeah get me out An escape route No rules, no fools No one draggin me down Yeah yeah yeah I wanna live, wanna live how I’ll live my life I want out I want out I want out of here!
4.	Hands 03:28	lyrics
I see him moving across the room and I wonder if it’s my way From what I hear he don’t need words he says what he has to say With those hands Here he comes again With those hands They can make me Lose my way Those hands I try to move I’ve lost all breath, his heart beats in my chest His smoldering gaze there is passion there and he knows I can’t resist Those hands Here he comes again With those hands They can make me Lose my way Those hands Those hands I can’t breathe Oh, I can’t breathe I want him to know his Transparency shows he can’t take me for a fool But every time I try to leave he Knows I can’t say no To those hands Here he comes again With those hands They can make me Lose my way Those hands Those hands Those hands Those magic hands Those fucking hands Those hands I see him moving across the room And I wonder if it’s my way…

7.	On the Floor 03:45	lyrics
Downtown for a few on the weekend just to get down Cocktails, let loose Some girlfriends and the boys too Aiming for a good time Movin’ to the rhythm Someones trippin’ and my mind is runnin’ And I can’t help wonderin’ Where did I go wrong? One whiskey, dos tequila And I’m cool, so cool Two whiskey, more tequila And I’m down, down, down on the floor Uptown, waitin’ To hit the stage and bring it on Straight shot, coke back To loosen up the body Aiming for a good time Movin’ to the rhythm Someones trippin and my mind is runnin’ And I can’t help wonderin’ Where did I go wrong? One whiskey, dos tequila And I’m cool, so cool Two whiskey, more tequila And I’m down, down, down on the floor On the floor We just wanted to have a good time Movin’ to the rhythm Someones trippin’ and my mind is runnin’ And I can’t help wonderin’ Where did I go wrong? One whiskey, dos tequila And I’m cool, so cool Two whiskey, more tequila And I’m down, down, down on the floor (Repeat two more times)
8.	Bad Boy 03:13	lyrics
Never the one to settle Never the same girl twice Swaggin’ through the tavern Says Baby, you sure look nice He’s brazen, grazin,’ he thinks he’s somthin’ What I would do to see him crashin’ He’s a bad boy Likes whiskey by the shot And women on the rocks He’s a bad bay The ladies can smell him comin’ He comes every single night His eyes tell a crazy story His words are to fuck or fight He’s brazen, grazin,’ he thinks he’s something What I would do to see him crashin’ He’s a bad boy Likes whiskey by the shot And women on the rocks He’s a bad boy A sex machine Unshaven, unclean He takes what he wants He’s a bad boy (He’s a bad boy, a bad, bad boy) Never the one to settle Never the same girl twice Swaggin’ through the tavern Says Baby, you’re just my type He’s a bad boy Likes whiskey by the shot And women on the rocks He’s a bad boy A sex machine Unshaven, unclean He takes what he wants He’s a bad boy (He’s a bad boy, a bad, bad boy)
