One more drink And I do believe I'll drown Don't you think That this room is spinning round By the way What did you say was your name I don't recall Cuz everything just starts to sound the same YOu tell me one more time with feeling I swear I been staring at this ceiling Won't you pour me in my car I swear I really don't live that far... One more drink And I'll have that woman off my mind Don't you think I'm sure it happens all the time The things I say Are usually better left unsaid I don't recall Did she say I'd be better off dead YOu tell me one more time with feeling I swear I been staring at this ceiling Won't you pour me in my car I swear I really don't live that far... One more drink And I do believe I'll drown One more drink I'll end up in the lost and found One more drink Won't remember what I said One more drink Wake up with a bullet in my head

This bed of nails has become Burning flame As I watch you walk away All I can do is whisper your name I see you rising up Like the morning sun And the only thing I know is I wish that I were numb Cuz I remember Broken bottles on hiway signs I remember All those midnight drives Yes I remember well But I'm choosing to forget Would you be kind enough To leave the pieces Of my broken life behind So I can try and fix them As hard as I try I know I'll never be the same Cuz this bed of nails is Burning flame again And I remember The way you would look at me I remember How you felt like home I remember well But I'm choosing to forget Bed of nails Burning flame Bed of nails Burning flame I remember The bittersweet I remember How your love rescued me The heaven and the hell How my heart's a prisoner still Yes I remember well But I'm choosing to forget

Daylight fades into broken shades It's never night here, a Hunter's life here A cold steel killing field Viscious, broken , and unyielding Love isn't even dream't about Innocent victims inside out In this city the lions never sleep Jungle of asphalt and concrete One more drink, One more kill One more line, one more thrill In this city the lions never sleep In this city the lions never sleep You get caught in their lifeless eyes Full of grace and twisted lies You're held there just like a fool A long line of lovers there before you They taste your heartbeat, you're driven under Embrace the pain, cuz you won't recover In this city the lions never sleep Jungle of asphalt and concrete One more shot, One more kill One more fix, one cheap thrill In this city the lions never sleep In this city the lions never sleep Everytime you turn on your stereo I want every song to just crush your soul

She can be dove She Can make love like a hurricane She can steal your heart But you won't even remember it happening You know that she's a star You know that she is far from innocent She'll keep you on the edge And you'll be beggin' for oblivion When you see that smile Don't look her in the eye She's gonna make you scream It's just one more.... One more murder on main street You'll swear that you can fly You'll see the face of God when she starts to moan There's pleasure in her pain You swear you felt the flame when she's in your soul Don't look her in the eye When you see that smile She's gonna make you scream It's just one more.... One more murder on main street Now you can see forever Now you can feel the heat unleashed You can hear an angel weep You can taste the sweet sweet release When you see that smile Boy don't look her in the eye She's gonna make you scream It's just one more... One more murder on main stre

Come on Baby rest here in my arms I'll do what I can to keep you safe and warm Put your hand in mine together we can shine Like that diamond in the morning light The way you look at me can turn my day around When I see your smiling face my troubles seem to drown Now close your eyes and slip into sleep I'll lie here and keep the devil from your dreams

The sun this morning was 15 minutes late And all the stars above had to sit and wait You open your eye I see you smile I whisper "Morning Love" then hold you for a while Cuz you got me speechless My words fall at my feet You have me spinnin' I'm feeling dizzy and sweet I love the way you call me baby And the way you say my name HOw you lay your hands on me The way you taste like rain CHORUS You have me tongue tied When you look at me that way The way you kiss my lips There's nothin' left to say Nothin' left to say YOu're my sunrise in the morning YOu're always running late Just like those stars above Baby you're worth the wait

If you like scars Just take a look at my heart It hasn't been the same since She stole my name and left Up over that mountain range Just when I think I'm fine She calls me on the line Then I'm heading straight down again Ya I hit the ground and then The memories come rushing in Well there's a piece of her In every little word And I think it's beginning to show Ya I'm starting to let go Cuz Baby you're never coming back home Never coming home

Her love was spun by the devil's breath How was I to know she had a hole in her chest I gave her my love and she gave him her soul When I gave her my heart how was I to know The Devil's breath murdered my love The Devil's breath has taken my all The Devil's breath only left misery The Devil's breath is my ghost down the hall The warmest smile became fits of hate The eyes of love brought my soul to break A healing touch turned to cold as death No way to save her from that bastard's breath He has taken it all He has broken my soul What I once held was true But now I am the fool

Would you mind if I lay here for a while The ground is cold but warmer than the words you continually crush me with... I know you only want to inflict the most mental damage possible I have lost my ability to stand up and carry on I see you havn't miss me its obvious by the hatred in your eyes.. So dark, black as coal, no light even in the iris My first mistake was falling for you without a parachute I freefell into the flames of wanton desire You are the devil incarnatetaking my soul, my will, and my helpless heart... Leaving this shell of a man frozen, empty, and numb.... I loved you like no one before and never will again

This bed of nails is now a bed of burning flame a nightly funeral pyre I awake in the ashes of my dreams
