I'm so high I don't understand,
How did I get here, and where is my band?
Gimme a minute just to recollect
Drunk again, well what the hell did you expect?
I-I-I Just need some time,
Till I-I-I Come back to life!
I-I-I Just need some time,
Till I-I-I Come back to life!
The smoke alarm is ringing in my ear
Passed out with a cigarette and 50 empty beers.
Understand my reputation exceeds me!
But this time you won't believe me!
I-I-I Just need some time,
Till I-I-I Come back to life!
I-I-I Just need some time,
Till I-I-I Come back to life!

Two-Timin' Tommy

Tommy's in the business, of moonshine baby
Makes his living selling liquor in the prohibition times.
Built of such a reputation, with his violence and persuasion.
That the boys on down at Sugarhouse, started to pay attention.
Trouble brewing at the Sugarhouse!
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!
A fight out back of the Sugarhouse!
Whoah, Whoah, Whoah!
Selling drugs out back, of the Speakeasy
Purple gang runs this town with their robbing and cheating.
Shaking down the streets, criminal activity.
Tommy does his part at the town Distillery.
Trouble brewing at the Sugarhouse!
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!
A fight out back of the Sugarhouse!
Whoah, Whoah, Whoah!
Tommy got in a scrap, with the leader of the pack
Now he's on the run again.
He got picked up the streets, with a couple pounds of speed
Now he's behind bars at the penitentiary.
Trouble brewing at the Sugarhouse!
Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!
A fight out back of the Sugarhouse!
Whoah, Whoah, Whoah

Too Much To Take

A friend of mine just told me that he wants to find an out
Bottled up his heartache ripped up from inside out
Times they might get difficult, might get a little strange
But man, believe me when I say there's always change!
You know we all find a way
Even though sometimes it seems too much to take
Every single night and day
It all begins to seem the fucking same
He got up real early and he got into his car
Stormed into the office and he said "I quit this job!"
Drove off to his lover's house, said "Babe we just can't stay"
Drove off with the morning sun gonna live life his own way!
You know we all find a way
Even though sometimes it seems too much to take
Every single night and day
It all begins to seem the fucking same
When you're working like a slave while they're garnishing your wage
Is it Too Much To Take!
When you owe more than you make, and you just need a break
Too Much To Take!
Everything you love is taken by the bank
Too Much To Take!
Given all you got, now there's nothing left to gain
Too Much To Take!
Too Much To Take, Too Much To Take, Too Much To Take, To Much To Take!

Safe Bet

I'm tied up and bound again
The smell of blood just sickens me!
Indebted for the hundredth time
I could never take what's mine!
The safe bet, ain't the one I tend to take!
The safe bet, ain't the one I tend to take!
I've fallen in with the wrong crowd
The thrill of winning reigns supreme!
It's times like these I need an out
With just these chains, my knife, and me!
The safe bet, ain't the one I tend to take!
The safe bet, ain't the one I tend to take!
