Some people claim I'm over the hill And chasing a dream My hairs on fire and I'm drinking gasoline I take too many pills To try and cure my ills But there ain't no slowing down Until they put me in the ground There ain't no slowing down You know I'm playing for keeps And I stake my claim to fame I might not finish first But you know I'm in the race Pedal to the metal You know I might be insane But there ain't no slowing down Until they put me in the ground There ain't no slowing down There ain't no slowing down Until the put me in the ground

I've lost count of all the days that I have wasted Now that hourglass won't tell me how much sand is left All I got now are second chances Winding down with every solemn sunset Cause today is tomorrow's yesterday Don't let no more time waste away Said today is tomorrow's yesterday Don't let no more time waste away Right now I aim to mend all my broken fences Break my dark heart and say what I need to say Trying to make right all of my wrongs Measuring every single minute of the day Cause today is tomorrow's yesterday Don't let no more time waste away Said today is tomorrow's yesterday Don't let no more time waste away Now today is tomorrow's yesterday Don't let no more time waste away Said today is tomorrow's yesterday Don't let no more time waste away

There was never anything quite as hard As having to watch you fall apart Standing right beside you Seeing you start to fade away Not knowing what I should do Or even what to say But you know your friends don't run Even when the hard times come You were taken by the sea Taken by the sea Lured away by the song of a banshee There hasn't been a day Where you didn't cross my mind But I still can't figure out How to say goodbye Because you know your friends don't run Even when the hard times come You were taken by the sea Taken by the sea Lured away by the song of a banshee You were taken by the sea Taken by the sea Lured away by the song of the banshee

You got me thinking like nothing has before About what makes the world go round and what could be in store There's something in the way you move makes me think of tongue in groove Natures seems to understand how to break a honest man Now mother nature she's having her way with me And she has me thinking about those birds and bees And now I'm thinking about those birds and bees Now there are people who say that it is wrong I don't know if their right but man that juju's strong Who am I to question it, don't want to be a hypocrite Nature is a funny thing and there's no way to push a string And mother nature she's having her way with me And she has me thinking about those birds and bees And now I'm thinking about those birds and bees And now mother nature is having her way with me And she has me thinking about those birds and bees And now I'm thinking about those birds and bees

The first thing I saw was your eyes Dancing like fireflies in the night Wearing that dress to impress Moving just like wildfire I was afraid I couldn't disobey Knowing that I couldn't get away from your Devilish Ways You put those pins Deep down in my skin Just like its wicked voodoo You use that sultry grin The original sin Just like its deja vu And your Devilish Ways Tell me how do you do what you do to me Is it magic Deep down in my bones I cant escape from you It feels so damn tragic Just like you put a spell on me Now I cant set myself free from you and your Devilish Ways You put those pins Deep down in my skin Just like its wicked voodoo You use that sultry grin The original sin Just like its deja vu And your Devilish Ways

All the Hell 02:55
You make me feel so damn blue With all the hell you put me through Dealing with you feels like a crime Like I'm locked up and doing time Damn there has to be a better way Not gonna let you rain on my parade There ain't enough diamonds and gold To make me wanna trade in my soul You make me feel so damn blue With all the hell you put me through The time has come to walk away Get caught in the winds of change There ain't enough diamonds and gold To make me wanna trade in my soul You make me feel so damn blue With all the hell you put me through You make me feel so damn blue With all the hell you put me through

I've always been good at being hard to get Playing my cards close to my chest There's never ever been a lover quite like you Caught me unaware when you came out the blue Now I can't get you off my mind Making me feel like we're two of kind Now I lose myself in your smile Even though it's not really my style There's something deep down in your eyes Reminds me of such a beautiful sunrise I've never felt so in love There is nothing better than your touch And you know that I just want you near And when we're together there is nothing to fear And I lose myself in your smile Even though it's not really my style You got me acting just like a fool Willing to break all of my rules Because I lose myself in your smile Even though it's not really my style

Unwind 03:07
Maybe its time to take a step back Before this train runs out of track Don't you think this is getting out of hand Almost like were trapped in quicksand Don't you think its time to unwind Grab a peace pipe and lose our minds Maybe its time for us to unwind Share a smoke and have a good time Everyone seems filled with anger Living like that sure leads to danger No one says we have to all agree Why can't we let each other live free Man that sounds good to me Don't you think its time to unwind Grab a peace pipe and lose our minds Maybe its time for us to unwind Share a smoke and have a good time Can't we just unwind Grab a peace pipe and lose our minds Maybe its time for us to unwind Share a smoke and have a good time We need to unwind

The Mask 03:38
We've seen hard times from the start Because of the games we both love to play But that is a danger when you risk your heart That is all could just slip away The truth is there were times we were near the end Despite the vows we both made But somehow we always made amends Even inside the masquerade So slip off your mask You don't need to hide Your face from me So slip off your mask You don't need to hide Your face from me So slip of the mask Out in the world we have to hide our faces There are things we can't let other people see They don't care about knowing the real you But you don't have to hide from me So slip off your mask You don't need to hide Your face from me So slip off your mask You don't need to hide Your face from me So slip of the mask So slip of the mask So slip off your mask You don't need to hide Your face from me So slip off your mask You don't need to hide Your face from me Go ahead and slip of your mask

Western Sky 03:55
Storm clouds are rolling In the western sky The only hope for peace Is in the tornado’s eye It feels like we are trapped In this little town And the rain it just keeps on Coming down Storm clouds are rolling In the western sky Lightning flashes And the thunder replies Words are never just words When they're shouted in anger And callous hearts will only lead you Straight into danger Storm clouds are rolling In the western sky Just listen to the wind To hear the angels cry With enough bad luck We can break out of here And come face to face With all of our fears Storm clouds are rolling In the western sky

Somewhere along your life's dark journey Your ship of broken dreams ended lost at sea There ain't nothing that nobody Can seem to say to you to breakthrough Every time you see dry land We reach out to you to take your hand It never seems to matter, no You always end up falling again cause your Lost on a ship in a bottle Lost on a ship in a bottle Always lost on a ship in a bottle Always drifting away Further and further away Hope keeps that lighthouse burning Always praying for your safe return The storm it just keeps on raging Behind that prison glass and your broken past cause your Lost on a ship in a bottle Lost on a ship in a bottle Always lost on a ship in a bottle And your drifting away Further and further away You are lost on a ship in a bottle Lost on a ship in a bottle Always lost on a ship in a bottle And your drifting away Further and further away

I never even saw it coming It all happened much to fast There was no sense in even running Today could have been my last Reminds me that my days are numbered Makes me think about my past Here comes the darkness Like a shadow Here comes the darkness Black as a crow Here comes the darkness For my soul Here comes the darkness White as the snow When it comes Where we go How this ends Nobody knows Do you really want to live in fear Do you have a reason why Death is always so near You might as well give her a smile You know that there is a comfort Knowing that we all die Here comes the darkness Like a shadow Here comes the darkness Black as a crow Here comes the darkness For my soul Here comes the darkness White as the snow When it comes Where we go How this ends Nobody knows
