John Roth

Days undercover
All out of sync
Haven't paid the rent
Even talking in my sleep
My monkey's M.O.
Is all out of commission
I'm waiting for a good
old-fashioned cure
For my condition
'Cos I'm all out of charm
And I'm all out of money
Hanging
Down Incognito
Waiting for the sun to shine
Fools to the left
Jokers to the right
Waitin' for the rest of us
To come and take a bite
But I'll wait it out
Call it superstition
I'll be fine for now
Just reminiscing
(Repeat Chorus)
I just had to let it go
Took all the pennies I had
Threw 'em in the wishing well
And I wish you well
Days undercover
All out of sync
Haven't paid the rent
Even talking in my sleep
My monkey's M.O.
Is all out of commission
I'm waiting for a good
old-fashioned cure
For my condition
(Repeat Chorus)
Me and my amigos
Down Incognito

Woman Never before
Without a word I hear so much
Woman Under the spell
Every sin Holy in your touch
It's all I feel It's all I see
And all I know It must be you
You're the spell I'm under
You're the spell I'm under
Woman How deep can I go
Every inch born a new obsession
Woman How did you know
That I couldn't have helped myself From comin' closer
To the oracle of faith taboo
All my temptation Hooked on You-
You're the spell I'm under
Must be you
You're the spell I'm under
Feels like a drug
My will revealed in your spell
I remember...
You're all I feel You're all I see
Revolving in the need for You-
You're the spell I'm under
I know it must be you
You're the spell I'm under
Feels like a drug
Didn't take very long

Be a crime if I offended you
With my estranged religion
I've been chain smoken cigarettes
Since I felt my first ignition
Don't want you to believe me
Just want you to release me

I'm the son of a preacher
Ain't no angels in my head
You're preachin' snow-white
But the stain on your
switchblade's red

So don't expect no roses
I never had much class
Don't want Mona Lisa
All I want is your trash

In my veins
Make it last
For days
Want your beast
Need your rage
Feel you burnin' up, sister
In my veins

Devil diggin' deeper
I'm still hangin' by a thread
Don't be talkin' about love
Don't you know that superstition's
dead

And I ain't nobody' savior
So don't expect no flash
Don't want Mona Lisa
All I want is your trash

(Repeat Chorus)

A graphic disposition
Makes such a sexy girl
You can turn the Kiss of Death
Into Mother of Pearl

Need your trash
In my veins
Make it last
For days
Want your beast
In my cage
Feel your burnin' up, sister
In my veins

No sun would rise
In my silent heaven
Without your love
Lord knows I've tried
But I keep looking into your empty eyes
Don't take for granted
I'll be lyin' here when the morning comes
If there's still a chance, Tell me now
But don't think I'll be waitin' around
While you treat my love
Like it's all a dime a dozen
You don't feel the pain
Baby you're the lucky one
Every day and night
I keep wondering
Should I just tear out these pages
Can't you see it girl
You're the lucky one
Who have you been lyin' to
Is it me baby Or is it you
How long would you trust
Before your Lady Luck Gives you up
Any truth to your promises
Washed away before the war began
If there's still a chance
Tell me now
(Repeat Chorus)
Maybe it's true nothing lasts forever
So they say
So sad Baby without your love
No sun would rise again
But girl these open arms are gettin' tired
And pretty soon I'm gonna walk away
No you don't feel the pain
Baby you're the lucky one
And don't think I'll be waitin' around
While you treat my love
Like it's all a dime a dozen
Can't you see it girl
You're the lucky one
You're the lucky one
And every day and night
I keep wonderin'
Should I just tear out these pages
Can't you see it girl
It's you yeah
You're the lucky one

Times are changin'
We'd best beware
The world is in the electric chair
The state holds out its loving cup
Singing power to the people
But their power's corrupt

Burning crosses and secretly
Carry swastikas and M 16s
Nevermind the pages of history
It just keeps repeating, keeps repeating

It's always the same
Seems like nothing will ever change
We pay to wear the blindfold
Baby look out

'Cos they're movin'
In for the kill
In for the kill
Yankee Doodle leadin' lambs
to slaughter
Just for the thrill

Good things come to those who wait
good advice just a bit too late
Any chance for trust went up in smoke
When a preacher's lust was sponsored
by coke

Day after day
It's always the same
We pay to wear the blindfold
Baby look out

'Cos they're movin'
In for the kill
In for the kill
Disbelievers drink poison water
Time stands still

Don't fill my eyes, fill my head
Till I'm overloaded
You talk and you talk and you talk
But I don't hear anything

Times are changin'
There ain't no cure
It's a wasteland
One thing's for sure
Ain't no gold to grind the axe
So keep your fingers crossed
While you're crossin' the tracks

'Cos good blind faith ain't
good enough
Baby's heat crumbled to dust
Hooray for the Outlaw
Keeps movin'

In for the kill
In for the kill
Yankee Doodle leadin' lambs
to slaughter
Just for the thrill

Don't fill my eyes, fill my head
Till I'm overloaded
You talk and you talk
You know I don't hear it anymore

But you keep on movin'
In for the kill
In for the kill
Yankee Doodle leadin' lambs
to slaughter
Just for the thrill
My word's no good, it's
not enough

Straight out of Abilene
He's bustin' at the seams
Immune to whisky
Man it's down to a shot of
gasoline

This ain't no Romeo
This here's a one man show
Livin' on a dare
Thinkin' he'll become a legend

One more fever diggin' for
fools gold
Fast lane freeway to the
glory hole

'Cos he's
Livin' it up
In No Man's Land
Tonight's the night
Gonna get to heaven

Livin' it up
In No Man's Land
Too fast to live
Too young to die

He named his limousine
The Mississippi Queen
Better never look inside
'Cos things get a little
bit messy

No This party never ends
Plenty of so-called friends
Prayin' to heroes
They will never see again

Where will you wind up
I'll never know
While on the fast land freeway to the
glory hole

'Cos he's
Livin' it up
In No Man's Land
Tonight's the night
Gonna get to heaven

Livin' it up
In No Man's Land
Too fast to live
Too young to die

One more fever diggin' for
fools gold
Fast lane freeway to the
glory hole
The headline read
He finally made it
No return
Baby see him fly
Livin' it up
In No Man's Land
Tonight's the night
Gonna get to heaven
Livin' it up
In No Man's Land
Too fast to live
Too young to die

She said I'm naked
In the jungle
There I see you block'n
my path
Watch what you do
It don't come easy
No deja vu here
Not a chance
And you better know
If you try to hang me out
to dry
Baby don't come any closer
How will I know
If I give in to you
You will

Love me
Like a ritual
Fill me with your spirit
Spread you magic dust
Love me
Like a ritual
Tell me where you're hurtin'
baby
I will be your medicine man
Better make it good

And I told here
I'm dried up
I'm in the desert
And I'm tired of kickin'
up the dust
And you better know
Like a dog eatin' dirty
pudding
I'll be houndin' you to
feed me
Make sure you know
If you give in to me
I will

Love you
Like a ritual
Fill you with the spirit
Spread the magic dust
Love you
Like a ritual
Let me be the stranger
While I'll watch you do
your dance

So when you feel like a lonely
child
Put on your blue feathered lenses
Take me back
To the beginning
All the way
All the way
Can you take me all the way

Love me
Like a ritual
Fill me with your spirit
Spread your magic dust
Love me
Like a ritual
Can you cut me deeper
When I'll watch you do
your dance
Never gonna give you up
It's like a ritual
Love me
Like a ritual
Fill me with your spirit
Love me like a
Ritual

When all the colors begin to fade
And the imitations turn to grey
When the Iron Man begins to rust
And the Holy Water turns to dust
What will be your savior now
Dragon or machine
Who will wear the crown of thorns
In Mother Nature's dream
Who's the one
Who claimed my liberty
Robbed my soul of freedom
How long must I put up with the
Unholy sound of your gun
Tell me, brother
When believers start to lose the faith
And the naked army falls from grace
When all extremes return to one
See them melt into the setting sun
The bounty on the rebel's heart
Washed away the pride
Drove the voice a million miles
Across the great divide
Who's the one
Who claimed my liberty
Robbed my soul of freedom
Who's the one
Who denied my eyes to see
Truth behind double tongue
Who's the one
Who claimed my liberty
Robbed my soul of freedom
How long must I put up with the
Unholy sound of your gun
Tell me, brother
The bounty on the rebel's heart
Washed away the pride
Drove the voice a million miles
Across the great divide
Who's the one
Who claimed my libery
Robbed my soul of freedom
Who's the one
Who denied my eyes to see
Truth behind double tongue
Who's the one
Who claimed my liberty
Robbed my soul of freedom
How long must I put up with the
Unholy sound of your gun
Tell me, brother

Into this world
Little boy brave
Charity heart
Faithfully plays
Heal the scars
Unto his eyes
Salvage the goodness
Of dreams never lived
Dreams never died
Again and again
Again and again
Haunted by the trust of a child
With no place to go now
Little boy brave
Wanders the streets
Faithfully plays
But his broken arrows
Once filled with pride
Aimed and missed
At the dreams never lived
Dreams never died
Again and again
Again and again
Haunted by the trust of a child
Never give in
Never give up
Little boy brave
Never lived
Never died

Appears to be
Blind Revolution Mad
The mercy ends
Where the mercy began
Seems justified
I'm turnin' this around
Jawbreaker Lawmaker
Have it your way.......

Ye-ah...Ye-ah...Ye-ah...

Campaign smokescreen
Glorifies the mainstream
Cities on remote control
Meanwhile vigilante gangs
Dig their fangs into the streets
They've overthrown
While plastic faces
Run for king of this
Disassociation land
I'm dying to find
Anyone who understands
Behold........

One more Blind Revolution Mad
One more chance of a lifetime

Rage runs rampant
Always been abandoned
Killin' for some pocket change
Blames being force fed rules
Governed by fools
Slammin' you against the grain
And the nation's glued to CNN
To watch their own creation
Behold

One more Blind Revolution Mad
One more chance of a lifetime
One more Blind Revolution Mad

Fee Fi Fo Fum
One for all and all for one
Don't try to stop me
I've already gone crazy
One for all and all for one
Overthrow your kingdom come
Don't try to stop me
You're the reason I'm crazy
Behold

One more Blind Revolution Mad
One more chance of a lifetime
One more Blind Revolution Mad
Mind in the gutter turned
another boy bad
Oh behold
