"All the Pain Money Can Buy"
The Way
They made up their minds
They drank up the wine
Chorus:
Their children woke up
Chorus
Fire Escape
Well I don't wanna be President
'Cause I don't know who's side I'm on
Chorus:
I don't wanna make you mad
'Cause I don't know just what I've found
Chorus
Repeat Chorus
I can be myself, how 'bout you?
Better Than It Was
Once I had it all planned out
I get to remembering
But it's better than it was
It's better than it was
Better than it was
Which Way To The Top?
Where did you leave your baby
In the bar we sit like blackbirds
Chorus:
We used to ride around in a broken down old car
Mom and Dad are fast asleep now
Chorus
You better get it now while
Chorus
Repeat Chorus
Sooner Or Later
I'm gonna get under your skin
I'm gonna take my time all right
Time
Sooner or later
Repeat
Warm Fuzzy Feeling
I got a warm fuzzy feeling
Turn on my t.v.
We notice every tiny little detail
Waht are we gonna use to fill the empty spaces?
Slow Drag
Slow drag off a cigarette
Slow drag and I can't get up now
You're nothing to me
All the world is sleeping like a baby tonight
You're nothing to me
G.O.D. (good old days)
I've been thinking about the good old day
I've been climbing up the walls again
I've been thinking about the good old days
Charlie, The Methodone Man
Living to get his freak on
Patience - the name of the game
When you're all alone
Charlie the methadone, methadone man
Out Of My Head
Sometimes I feel
Chorus:
Chorus
Damaged Goods
Try to stop the world spinning 'round
I know I should just leave you alone
The ground moved under me
I know I should just leave you alone
Nowhere Road
There's trouble on the subway
Chorus:
From L.A. to Miami
Chorus
It's a nowhere road and I'm tired
Sweetwater, Texas
It ain't as easy as it looks
Put away your wedding ring
They love to tear you down
A place to hide and room to move
They love to tear you down

And they started packing
They left before the sun came up that day
An exit to eternal summer slacking
But where were they going without ever
Knowing the way?
And they got to talking
They now had more important things to say
And when the car broke down they started walking
Where were they going without ever
Knowing the way?
Anyone can see the road that they walk on
Is paved in gold
And it's always summer
They'll never get cold
They'll never get hungry
They'll never get old and grey
You can see their shadows wandering off somewhere
They won't make it home
But they really don't care
They wanted the highway
They're happier there today, today
And they couldn't find them
They left before the sun came up that day
They just drove off and left it all behind 'em
But where were they going without ever
Knowing the way?

Superman or Clark Kent
I don't wanna walk 'round in their shoes
I don't know my right from wrong
I don't know where I'm going to
I don't know about you
I'll be the rain falling on your fire escape
And I may not be the man you want me to
I can be myself, how 'bout you?
I don't wanna meet your dad
I don't wanna be your dream come true
I don't know my sky from ground
I don't know where I'm going to
I don't know about you
I can be myself
How 'bout you?
Lyrics and Music - Tony Scalzo

My dirty fingers moved about
To make a mess of everything around me
I don't claim to know my way
I still run in circles everyday
Running around half blind
Life can be unkind
But it's better than it was
It's better than it was
I complain very little because
It's better than it was
We had a lot more money then
To make a mess of everything around us
Now the money comes and goes a bit faster
Then my confidence grows
Everybody knows
There ain't nothing new about money woes
It's better than it was
It's better than it was
It's better than we ever could have
Wished it to before
It was bad a while ago
Better this I know
Better than it was
I complain very little because
It's better than it was

Bleeding in her bed
Her ghost has come to stay
Oh, you can try, you can't chase her away
With our broken wings
Like clocks without their springs
Just like time doesn't mean anything
Won't you tell me
Which way to the top?
You know that I can't stay
Down here
But now I'm changing trains
Oh, and I'll hit all the notes in between
But I'll be wide awake
A surfer in the break
Oh, just waiting for the perfect wave
And a place in the shade
The getting's good
Get it now while it's happening
You better get it now while
The getting's good
Get it now while it's happening, oh yeah

Sooner or later
I'll find the key that lets me in
Sooner or later
Yea 'cause you just can't keep me down
Yea 'cause you just can't keep me down
Sonner or later
You gonna let me treat you right
Sooner or later
Yea 'cause you just can't keep me down
Oh if you'd only give me
Time
Is really all that I need
To push it through
To make you see
I'll make you see
I'm gonna take my time all right
Sooner or later
You gonna let me treat you righ
Yea 'cause you just can't keep me down
Yea 'cause you just can't keep me down
Is really all that I need
To push it through
To make you see
I'll make you see
Lyrics and Music - Tony Scalzo

When I saw you on t.v.
You were wearing a piece of me
And it breaks my heart to look around
And see the unimpressed
Who can't believe the emperor is dressed
I want to check some action
If you got no video
Well then folks don't want to know
But with you up there to light the way
I can wear a smile as I survey
The faces in the dark
Waiting for you to hit one out of the park
And every word we read we'll take to heart
There are no lies
When you see that look in their eyes
When you see her in the crowd
Will you make your mama proud?
She can turn around and see the faces
Looking at her son
Climbing his way up to #1
Scratching his way up to #1
Lyrics and Music - Miles Zuniga

Slow drag and I'm lying in my bed
All the world is sleeping like a baby tonight
I wanna lay you down
In the ground. Allright
Slow drag. You've been messing with my mind
All the world is sleeping like a baby tonight
I wanna see you dead
Laying in the muddy ground
Nothing to me
Nothing to me no more
I wanna see you dead
Laying in the muddy ground
Nothing to me
Nothing to me no more

Decorated in a candy glaze
Each pretty ink blot panel
Tells a different tale
Each photo on the mantel
Sweet memories that never will go stale
Living with a memory that might have been
So pick me up on a weekday night
We'll get together and ride around in
The black and white
My silly clothes and my silly ways
Each drunken drugstore purchase
Each chemical advance
Seven days a weekend
Everday the same old dizzy dance
Lyrics and Music - Miles Zuniga

Sporting his leopard skin thong
Charlie the Methadone Man
Plays Sunday nights in a rock and roll band
Charlie the metronome, the methadone man
Waiting on Dr. Kinkaid
Charlie the Methadone Man
Fills out the papers just as fast as he can
Charlie the methadone, the methadone man
And you got nowhere to go
Better take it slow
Drinking to try and stay sane
Charlie the Methadone Man
Chases his tail just as fast as he can
Charlie the methadone, the methadone man
Waiting.....
Lyrics and Music - Tony Scalzo
Lead Vocals - Tony Scalzo
Like I am drunk behind the wheel
The wheel of possibility
However it may roll
Give it a spin
See if you can somehow factor in
You know there's always more than one way
To say exactly what you mean to say
Was I out of my head? Was I out of my mind?
How could I have ever been so blind?
I was waiting for an indication
It was hard to find
Don't matter what I say only what I do
I never mean to do bad things to you
So quiet but I finally woke up
If you're sad then it's time you spoke up too
Repeat Chorus

My phone bill will tell you she lives out of town
It's been a long, long time but still I dream
Of warm sunny days on 12th and Lorraine
I wish you were here right now....but then
I should just leave you alone
I know I should just leave you alone
I should just leave you along
I pushed her away with the things I'd say
God's face grew
Earthquake size
And I can't cross our great divide
I wanna live inside....but then
I should just leave you alone
Lyrics and Music - Tony Scalzo
Lead Vocals - Tony Scalzo
There's something on the track
There's a dead end waiting and
We can't go back
So take it to the highway
Head back and open wide
Step right up and take a nowhere ride
It's a nowhere road
It's a nowhere road
No matter where it goes it's a
Nowhere road
It's a nowhere road and I'm tired
It's a nowhere job and I'm fired
It don't matter what they say
You can't get there going this way
And all points in between
Look outside you get the same old scene
You take it to the highway
You travel far and wide
Caterpillars carving up the country side
Repeat

To grow flowers in the dirt
All my friends are living underground
Out on highway 63
Let all your worries
Take their place in line
Living in this sweet soul town
Fall into the sound
My electric boogaloo
Don't you worry
The circus is in town
Living in this sweet soul town
Fall into the sound
