Hey, little girl, What're we gonna do? When the money runs out... Left to die, like a dog, On the side of the road When the money runs out... Whoa, Whoa-Oh, Whoa Oh, Whoa-Oh, Oh Whoa, Whoa-Oh, Whoa-Oh, Whoa-Oh, Oh Hey, little girl, What're we gonna do? When the money runs out When the bad turns to worse Left to lie, in the dirt When the money runs out Whoa, Whoa-Oh, Whoa Oh, Whoa-Oh, Oh Whoa, Whoa-Oh, Whoa-Oh, Whoa-Oh, Oh Hey, little girl, What're we gonna do? When the money runs out Left to die, like a dog, On the side of the road... When the money runs out...

The Workhorse 03:55
lyrics

Put my dirty hands behind this plow Till the hollow earth, Build it up from the ground I've been on this line for so long now There's so many ways in, but there's only one way out So saddle the workhorse, and put on the blinders Our supper's gonna be cold tonight Cause we are the ones who'll bleed for you So steady the cross, we're just paying our dues I ain't seen home since I don't know when Lord, how I miss my wife and kids They tell us we'll be here till the end Oh, But winter's come and gone again So saddle the workhorse, and put on the blinders Our supper's gonna be cold tonight Cause we are the ones who'll bleed for you So steady the cross, we're just paying our dues We are the ones who'll bleed for you Men and women, with nothing to lose...

Tin Man 02:41
lyrics
buy track
Rust upon my ragged bones I've tried... Carried myself hard, Then put up wet See, I'm a Tin Man, I don't feel much at all Tin Man, Set em' up, just to fall Empty jar for all those tears I've cried... Hardened up my heart, And now it's stone See, I'm a Tin Man No one needs to know my pain Tin Man, It all just looks the same

What The Devil Said 02:56
lyrics
Devil says I'll be alright, Come tomorrow, Come tomorrow, Devil says I'll be alright, Come tomorrow, Come tomorrow, But what if he's wrong? What if he's wrong? What if he's wrong? What if he's wrong? There were times I felt just like a ghost there Like a ghost there There were times I felt just like a ghost there Like a ghost there... Holding on, Holding on... Holding on, Holding on...

Ink; and the Bottle 02:31
lyrics
buy track
I've got a black ballpoint pen, and a bottle of gin That tells me I was right You won't see my face, Since you made your escape Leaving in the middle of the night There ain't a thing that I can do It's so cold here, Left with the memory of you It's just so cold here, Left with the memory of you I've got a bottle of wine, and a page of white That proves I was right So you've made your return, But the feelings won't burn In my heart, as they did the last time... There ain't a thing that I can say It's so dark, dear... The flowers have withered away It's just so dark, dear... The flowers, They've withered away

Black Widows 04:01
lyrics
buy track
Clouds roll in, As night turns to day Here I am, Standing out in the rain Stop my heart, All that's left is pain And time moves on, It does not care about your name... So burn it all and start again How many times, my old friend? Just to start again... These Black Widows, They hide In the corners, in bars They'll steal your soul, hurt your pride And break--your--heart These Black Widows, They hide In the corners, in bars There's no love, Here in this place Where lost souls come, just to fade away The sky's grown dark, much to my dismay And time moves on, It does not care about your name... So burn it all and start again How many times, my old friend? Just to start again... These Black Widows, They hide In the corners, in bars They'll steal your soul, hurt your pride And break--your--heart... These Black Widows, They hide In the corners, in bars...

Every Man For Himself 02:17
lyrics
buy track
Broken bottles and promises And all the things I couldn't fix Still somehow I wish you well Never thought I'd live through this... And now it's every man, for himself Again... Ah, Ah ah Ah, ah ah Stolen glances and misread words Lessons that I never learned Broken thoughts left in my head Hopes and dreams all but dead... And now it's every man, for himself Again... Ah, Ah ah Ah, ah ah

The View From Here 04:23
lyrics
buy track
Out with your friends at the same old bar I'm keeping track, with my head, and my cold, cold heart If we're not gonna wake up from this dream... Could we at least say what we mean? But I'm not falling on these same streets And I'm not gonna die in these same dreams But I don't know, where to go from here I don't know where to go from here Out again with your friends at the same damn bar While I'm lying awake wondering where you are And If we're not gonna talk, or so it seems... Could we at least say what we mean? But I'm not falling on these same streets And I'm not gonna die in these same dreams But I don't know, where to go from here I don't know where to go from here And please tell me I did, One thing right my dear In all the time The time I was here... Please tell me I did, One thing right my dear In all the time The time I was here

Dressed in Red (Bloodbath) 03:26
lyrics
buy track
Dressed in red, She wore my death Like a brand new dress And in my head, you were the best But you left me such a mess Oh let's dance atop, a memory Let us sing for the end of everything All in red, She wore my death And bathed in my bloodshed Straight to the bed, Then left for dead With every word you said Oh let's dance atop, a memory Let us sing for the end of everything Hey baby doll, Put your red dress on Let's dance all night, till the break of dawn I know the end is coming soon So just let me get next to you Hey baby doll, put your red dress on Let's dance all night, till the break of dawn I know the end is coming soon So just let me get next to you

In My Dreams (Dressed in White) 03:39
lyrics
buy track
You were dressed in white, In my dreams You wore a perfect smile, Looked right through me Oh-Oh, How you brought me to my knees Oh darlin', Begging please... You were everything I thought I'd need Someone who ran wild, Beautiful and free And all the things That can leave us incomplete And Oh, woman, How you lived inside of me In my dreams... In my dreams In my dreams In my dreams...
