Everybody 01:37
Shackle my gold chains Beating me down to nothing Long drinks and cocaine Get lost when you got money God bless the new rain Water like no tomorrow It’s such a shame babe I’m talking bout everybody… I’ve got some spare change leaking out of the back of my pocket I’ve got a diamond ring Steal your heart just to call me funny There ain’t no right way I’ll be dead before I’m living It’s all the same game You get what you want But there aint no winning

Wasteland 05:47
River set me free Pierce my skin, let me breathe River let me speak Rip this muzzle from my cheeks Kill my jealousy Watch me triumph, or watch me flee Hold me as my bones freeze I sink to the bottom, right to the bottom of a Wasteland Sippin’ on sorrow, cracking the bottle in a Wasteland I die tomorrow, take my life away Wasteland Looking for something, but I found nothing in a Wasteland I saw light decay It’s just you and me on the edge of nothing’ I can see your fear You are crying Shivering tingling blurry eyes are red You are dead You are dying in your own body Yeah, I said my prayers, you said beware, and I found freedom in a Wasteland Sippin’ on sorrow, cracking the bottle in a Wasteland I die tomorrow, take my life aw — Wasteland Looking for something, but I found nothing in a Wasteland I saw light decay

Turn around out of faith out of stake Every time that you lie, cold face I was never in the bottom of the bottle but you always popped me out of my mind And tell me lover if you’re looking for another cuz there aint no time for free I was down on my knees bitch begging you please But you never really let me be The pod to your pea if you know what I mean The honey to you sweet little bee Howl, growl, meow, All for a little Howl, growl, meow, All for a little If you got the time to spare you better not fucking disappear Cuz’ last year I was all on my own Every single day on my mobile phone But I aint got the time and I aint got the style I aint got the shit to rely on You little mothafucka get out my way If you really wanna hear me say I know times are rough but my love is enough So come on my way Howl, growl, meow, All for a little Howl, growl, meow, All for a little Howl, growl, meow, All for a little Howl, growl, meow, All for a little I’ve got some stories to tell Some they aren’t so pretty like this I met a girl and we moved to an island OH fuck I thought that life was so bliss But last year they told me that I was too lonely To apply for satisfaction bayyyy I lost my mind on a little bit of her time I couldn’t explain That i can play my music but I’m gonna have to lose it if you really wanna go and tame my mane I was born to get around fool around fuck around everyone heard them say but she said why.. oh why.. she never got the chance to say

Pippi Long 02:23
You held me down like everyone else I spent all my life waiting for hell But you’re wrong and you said it And if I’d ever get myself out of this I’d be the one to die and the one to resist But you’re gone, and you’re gone, and you’re long! Oh Pippi Long, Pippi Long Been so long, so long You say your heart is just waiting to fly But you’re gone Pippi Long, Pippi Long Got lost and left for dead I spent all my life looking ahead But you’re wrong and you said it And if I’d ever get myself out of this I’d be the one to die and the one to resist But you’re gone, and you’re gone, and you’re long! Oh Pippi Long, Pippi Long Been so long, so long You say your heart is just waiting to fly But you’re gone Pippi Long, Pippi Long Why why, why you leaving town? Lately, I’ve been down in the basement Starting at pictures of your face kid And all of this just goes on and on and on and on… Oh Pippi Long, Pippi Long Been so long, so long You say your heart is just waiting to fly But you’re gone Pippi Long, Pippi Long

Fuck Me 03:57
It’s too easy when you look at me with eyes like that You bite your lips, unzip your dress You ain’t no angle, but your venom’s too hard to resist You give me the sweetest kiss, that makes me fall too quick But your papa don’t like me He says I’m unlikely to be rich And your sister talks dirty She calls you a bitch She said Fuck me like you want to, I am horny I am sick Fuck me like you need to cuz’ the world has gone to shit Fuck me till my heart stops beating I just want some love for the evening Fuck me cuz’ tomorrow I’m leaving town I’m tryna be honest but this honesty is getting me no where quick Falling for another who’s the daughter of your mother and she looks like this It’s so hard, when you say “Do as you wish” I swear to god, you the most evilest kind of twins.. But your papa don’t like me He says I’m unlikely to be rich And your sister talks dirty She calls you a bitch She said Fuck me like you want to, I am horny I am sick Fuck me like you need to cuz’ the world has gone to shit Fuck me till my heart stops beating I just want some love for the evening Fuck me cuz’ tomorrow I’m leaving town

My Oh My 07:21
How could it seem to me, more than endless dream gone amok? Out of my head Into the dark Down to the deepest hollow I… My, oh my How could it seem to me, that I don’t feel anything in my heart? Out of my head Into the dark Down to the deepest hollow I… My, oh my I don’t wanna lie sometimes I feel like giving up I don’t wanna cry I never wanna give you up I don’t wanna lie sometimes I lie to shut you up I don’t wanna cry sometimes I cry to shut you up Out of my head Into the dark Down to the deepest hollow I… My, oh my How could it seem to me, that I don’t feel anything in my heart?
