Descender
Come on baby walk with me through the moonlight.
Come on baby walk with me to the sea.
I know some things that’ll make you feel all right.
I’ll show you things that you wouldn’t believe.
Come on baby take me by the hand…
Walk with me through the moonlight; let me be your man.
I’m goin’ down… I’m really building steam.
I descend like a pile driver as I fall down off of my high wire
into the depths your bottomless ravine.
I’m falling for you girl; it’s plain to see.
It took a little time before you would even look my way.
Now that I’m on your radar; I’ve got something to say.
I’ve met a lot of ladies, but I like you the best.
There’s something about you that I must confess.
The smell of your perfume makes me weak in the knees;
And the sound of your sweet voice is melting me.
Come on baby take me by the hand…
Walk with me through the moonlight; let me be your man.

Jack's Pretty Habit
Jack tries to tell her that he did nothing wrong like he’s singing a song.
She’s heard it all before; there’s nothing he could say to stop her from walking out that door.
I beg you darling please… please don’t go away.
I’ll get down on my knees… if you’ll only stay.
I’m begging darling please… please don’t run away.
You’re the only one for me…. baby won’t you stay.
She can’t believe how much she hates his guts today.
It’s as if a switch were flipped; there’s not a chance in hell she’ll stay
with that creep. He’s so beneath the new found standards that she keeps.
He’s like a dog in the street, tipping trash cans to eat,
And humping everyone he meets... shitting in the grass and dragging ass on the concrete.
Yeah that Jack he’s a cheat… from his forehead to his feet.
A bigger one you will never meet because he’s got a dirty habit.
Yeah she knows that she must be going. Yeah she knows that it will never end.
She froze over some time ago. Jack’s dirty habit has him sizing up her friends.
She’s not gonna take it no more not even one more day.
Na-na no way will she stay with that son of a bitch.
He’s such a lowlife; anyone can have him.
Before she headed out the door she spat at Jack but missed.
I beg you darling please… please don’t go away.
I’ll get down on my knees… if you’ll only stay.
I’m begging darling please… please don’t run away.
You’re the only one for me…. baby won’t you stay.

Torn Apart at the Seams
I ride my bike around your block for a while.
I think I saw you through the window.
I must admit you have impeccable style.
I’d like to take you to the disco.
You pull the blinds and try to hide, but I can see your silhouette
from my perch in your neighbor’s tree.
Ever since we first met, my life’s been such a wreck.
You’ve really made a monkey out of me yeah.
All I want to do is get close to you.
You’re like something from a dream.
When you’re not around me girl, I’m like a rag doll
that’s torn apart at the seams.
It’s not so easy when you’re playing hard to get
But I’ve got some tricks up my sleeve.
Someday soon girl I’m gonna make you my pet.
Someday soon you’re gonna ride with me yeah.
All I want to do is get close to you.
You’re like something from a dream.
When you’re not around me girl, I’m like a rag doll
that’s torn apart at the seams.

Tight Sweater
Sun-shine… in a tight pink sweater.
She’s so fine… she takes my blues away.
Look at lovely little Anna.
She’s busting out at the seams.
She made my night with her sweater so tight;
Tonight she’s gonna dance around in my dreams.
I know that I don't know her so good,
but maybe someday I could
get to know her just a little bit better,
and find out what's up under that tight sweater.
Sun-shine... lovely little Anna's gonna shake it tonight.
She's so fine... I can't keep myself from staring.
I think about her all the time... I must make her mine.
I tripped my way through the crowd on the dance floor
Just to tug... just to tug on her sweater sleeve.
Excuse me Miss, your sweater fits so perfect.
I must confess, your curves are calling me.
Your tight sweater real takes the blues off me;
Some might even call it a gift.
I like you better than doughnuts and coffee…
Your tight sweater really gives me a lift.

Hanging by a Thread
It’s getting late and I’m all alone. Sitting staring at the phone…
There’s no excuse for this mental abuse…
When will you ever call?
You’ve got me hanging by a thread
Thoughts of you in my head
This time I will do everything that
I can not to be misled.
I met you on the dance floor; I asked you if your feet were sore
You laughed and said that you were bored so we stepped out the back door
You pulled out your car keys and told me that you had to leave
But would like to get my number for sometime later this week.
You’ve got me hanging by a thread
Thoughts of you in my head
This time I will do everything that
I can not to be misled.
Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh… I’ve got a picture of you stapled to my wall...
Oooh-ooh-ooh-ooh… for when I’m feeling down cuz you didn’t call me again,
I can see your face when I’m feeling bad.
Another night of the wait; this is driving me mad.

On A Cloud
Let me tell you about my girl... she's like a drug to me.
I scoured this whole world; I sailed the seven seas
on a search to find true love. One that would not run away
I think she might stay.
On a search to find true love, one that would not run away
I think she might stay.
It feels like I’m walking on a cloud;
miles and miles between my feet and the ground.
It feels like I’m unstoppable now.
I ain’t never ever gonna come back down.
This time I found a girl that really suits me well...
So I told the weatherman that he could go straight to hell,
cuz it looks to me to be another sunny day.
I'll withstand the deluge should it ever come back my way.
cuz I found a girl, and she's all that I need.
to get through the hard times yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I found a girl; her nectar is oh so sweet.
She got in my head and knocked me right off of my feet.
It feels like I’m walking on a cloud;
miles and miles between my feet and the ground.
It feels like I’m unstoppable now.
I ain’t never ever gonna come back down.

The Pits
Watch your back when she comes inside your home.
She’s like that… she’ll rob you blind no joke.
I’m telling you man… don’t be the last to know.
I’m telling you man; she’ll leave you tired and broke.
…but I couldn’t resist. Add my name to the list.
That girl, she’s the pits.
How could I forget the words that she spoke when she said she didn’t mean it?
I thought I’d die with her by my side,
but it looks as if she won’t be needing me no more.
She won’t be needing me no more.
I tried so hard to be her man…
I tried so hard… I just don’t understand.
If only I had listened to you from the start.
I might have saved myself from this broken heart.
…but I couldn’t resist, that girl she’s the pits.
Don’t be next on her list; that girl she’s the pits.
One cold-hearted bitch, that girl man she’s the pits.

New Goat
That look on your face is priceless to say the least.
Now you’ve really done it… yeah you’ve really done it.
There’s a new goat to take your place.
There’s a new goat in town. There’s a new goat in town.
And now you’re feeling so down cuz there’s a new goat in town.
You made a list of all the things you’ve done wrong
Like always calling her baby.
You ring her number but she’s not at home.
The thought of her drives you crazy.
You just can’t get her out of your head.
If love is a battlefield, she left you for dead.
You just can’t get her out of your mind.
You search for answers that you’ll never find.
You hit the bottle. You hit the pills.
You hit rock bottom now get back up that hill.
She threw you out last night like you was the trash.
Just how long do you think that new goat’s gonna last?
That look on your face is priceless.
Now you’ve really done it… yeah you’ve really done it.
There’s a new goat to take your place.
Reclined in the bucket seat you laugh aloud thinking of how she used to love you.
You sing along to her favorite song but you’re out of key and you got most of the words wrong.
You thought she loved you, but she didn’t even care.
There’s a new goat in town, yeah there’s a new goat in town.
She found another as soon as you were not there.
There’s a new goat in town, yeah there’s a new goat in town.

It's Alright With Me
Nod to the beat… I see her cruising down the street.
She likes to show off her back seat… Well it’s alright with me.
She’s lying through her teeth, when she tells me there’s no other.
Well it’s alright with me just as long as I get some of her…yeah!
My girl is super-sized. She stands about five foot ten;
Even though she’s so cold inside, I always let her in.
She’s got a way about her that I just can’t resist.
I can’t explain why I feel like this.

Cure For Idaho
I need a cure for this Idaho.
There’s nothing to do here; nowhere to go.
I need a place where I can get away.
I don’t want to die here, at least not today.
I need a cure for boredom’s misery.
Shipwrecked on an island; stranded at sea.
I scrawl the words onto a notebook page…
If you should find this, get me out of this place.

Did you see that little asshole Vincent
Stomping around like he’s in a mosh pit?
He was at my house now I’ve got a wrecked crib.
I’m gonna teach that little punk a lesson.
Have you seen that little asshole Vincent?
He’s slippery and he really runs quick.
I’m gonna break his bones if I can catch him.
I’m gonna teach that little punk a lesson.
My man Vincent… was a punk rocker.

In the Rough
You’re goin’ down… down, down, yeah going down
Times are tough…don’t you really think you had enough.
Spend your time… time, tick, tick, tickin’ time
Rollin’ in the rough… rollin’ in the rough.
I’m gonna leave you in the dust
You see these chains have started to rust…
Say goodbye to me, I bet you thought I’d never leave
Nothing gonna stop me now.
Oh ba-by can’t you see
Why I would not want to stick around
To watch you dangle in the wind
as the sky above comes crashing down…
Oh ba-by can’t you see
Why I must leave this place?
I’ve had all of this that I can take.

Pick Up Your Phone
Let’s take a trip to a far off place; somewhere across the water.
On a ship for a couple of days, you mustn’t tell you father
Cuz he don’t like me, but I don’t care about that.
Cuz where we’re going girl, there’s nothing stopping you from being my pussycat.
I tried to call when your daddy wasn’t home; it seems like he’s been there all day
I don’t know why you won’t pick up your phone; I hope you’re ready for our date.
I thought we might go stare at the moon by the lake so you best take a sweater
I’ve got three 22’s, a bottle of Boone’s and a joint to smoke when we get there
I know this little spot that’s pretty well secluded; I bet no one will ever find it
we’ll turn the radio on and softly sing along to the words that we know and to some that we don’t
C’mon girl pick up your phone; I’m getting sick and tired of the wait.
I’m not too far parked in my car. I see a light through your bedroom shade.
C’mon girl pick up your phone… the minutes now seem like days.
What will I do if you don’t come soon… your love’s a maze.

Down to the River
I’m going down… down to the river. I hope that I might find you there.
I looked around… all through the meadow. Not a sign of you anywhere.
It’s not the first time you ran away. I don’t know what to do to make you stay.
I’m going down… down to the river. I hope to find you there.
Cuz if I do I’m gonna pin you to the bottom; I’ve had enough of your wild hair.
I’ve been looking around for what seems like days.
I haven’t found you yet, but when I do, I’m going to make you pay.
