Runaways
03:55
|

I can't recall the last time you held my hand
or lead me to bed without a drink
We're strangers in these sheets, lost in the afterglow
Of a love that's grown cold and a language that I don't know
We're Runaways, running from love
We're Runaways, love just isn't enough.
Feel the tension in touch, the motion and the rush
Like a foreign dance we, fake all the romance
Baby it's not like it once was ... have we both given up.
We're Runaways, running from love
We're Runaways, love just isn't enough.
Baby it's not like it once was ... I'm sorry I've given up.

Where Is Your Sting
04:44
|

There is a day that we'll all feel his string.
Like the crash and the flight of lightning.
A thief in the night rushes in with a grin
but I'll be damned if I'll go again.
Death is like passing from room to room,
Awaking from a blurred dream.
He can greet me and meet me with whiskey or drink
and a hell of a handshake from me.
Oh, Death where is your sting?
I'll be ready, my friend, in the end.
So have a drink until then.
Sometimes life feels just so God dammed, that we welcome the tilt of the drink
But Death like the friend, who leads you back home, rests with you there while you dream
Oh, Death where is your sting?
I'll be ready, my friend, in the end.
So have a drink until then.
Death's an adventure every man needs to face, to look past the peak of unknown.
But I can't see past this day that I'm living ... and I'm not really ready to go home.
Oh, Death where is your sting?
I'll be ready, my friend, in the end.
So have a drink until then.

Ships & Branches
04:22
|

Who are we, in this life
But vapors breathed in deep
Feeble fables of lessons learned
The mild and the meek
For we all think the longer thoughts
and give the shorter way
We're all dancing the devils song
and shivering home to pray
We are the ships in the seas
The branch in the wake of the breeze
We are the ships in the seas
Teetering ... Teetering
For we all think the longer thoughts
and give the shorter way
We're all dancing the devils song
and shivering home to pray
Pick your poison the bottles free
Don't mix up the prayer or slir
So go ahead boy and bend your knee
You ain't tellin' him nothing he ain't already heard
We are the ships in the seas
The branch in the wake of the breeze
We are the ships in the seas
The wild and the weak
We are the ships in the seas
The branch in the wake of the breeze
We are the ships in the seas
Teetering ... Teetering

My Heart Wasn't Ready
04:30
|
|||
I never thought, I'd be the man
To hold you close, to hold your hand
Be it fear or foolishness
My heart wasn't ready for this
You can lay your head on down
I'll do my best to be around
When you came to life
I arose with a strange divide
See I'm a man of strength and weakness
My heart wasn't ready for this
You deserve ... The best of me
A fired heart, a bended knee
You deserve ... The best of me
When you came to life
I arose with a strange divide
See I'm a man of strength and weakness
My heart wasn't ready for this
You deserve ... The best of me
A fired heart, a bended knee
You deserve ... The best of me
