Here comes the thunder down under We're natural wonders Night falls when we leave all you feel is the hunger Surprises people of all shapes and sizes Dig on the decade and realize it's all funky No matter this rude boy still got that swagger My ears have heard all these crews but we're badder Interracial, special, positive beings I am i be a cool awakening It's gettin hectic the metrics the body electric Everybody in worn out blue jeans or tacky dresses This is the city we've reached we've come to Go unrecognized on the corner or make moves All the lights are red all the poets dead A familiar nightmare appears in my head Times are changin' myself i'm rearrangin' Dream eight-thousand-five-twelve blazin' Born to act out, born to act out Paranoid with a gat Born to act out, born to act out Think you know where it's at Born to act out, born to act out But you're lookin' like a sissie Born to act out, born to act out Guns are for pussies I'm not from philly but some say i'm blunt That's just the way i am and i'm not going to front And yes i took a trip to find out about the ways of big City seedy bars and drugs that make you feel shitty Pretty older women in skirts conversation frisky Stinking cigarettes and plenty of bourbon whiskey Sad classic music on the jukebox of doom Hollywood blvd. barfly frolic room Tomb of lost souls some beyond salvage Some just having fun opening steam valvage I was one becoming the other hell bent to discover Had to pull up the reigns or else smother Take it brother all the way and then you're scared Don't want to be unprepared You're getting paranoid And then guns are shared You guys think that you're hard But you're in fear of being harmed I fear no man and i'm unarmed Born to act out, born to act out Paranoid with a gat Born to act out, born to act out Think you know where it's at Born to act out, born to act out But you're lookin' like a sissie Born to act out, born to act out Guns are for pussies

Black rose and a radio fire It's so contagious It's just something changing my mind I'm gonna take what's evil Your cover melting inside With wide eyes, you tremble Kissing over and over again Your god knows his faithful I try to digest my pride But passion's grip I fear When I climb into shallow vats of wine I think I almost hear But it's not clear You are the one You'll never be alone again You're more than in my head You're more... You are the one You'll never be alone again You're more than in my head You're more... Spin faster, shouting out loud You can't steal what's paid for It's just something hurting again Murder, son, she's painful You so believe your own lies On my skin your fingers Run away until the last time We're gonna lose forever When you try Don't try to say you won't Try to crawl into my head When you cry 'cause it's all built up inside Your tears already said Already said... You are the one You'll never be alone again You're more than in my head You're more... You are the one You'll never be alone again You're more than in my head You're more... You'll never be alone again You are the one You'll never be alone again You're more than in my head You're more... You are the one You'll never be alone again. You're more than in my head You're more... Alone again

I used to sit right down and imagine What it would be like To have your loving arms around me On a starry night Oh,but I got tired of dreaming 'Cause dreaming is nothing to do I got tired of dreaming About you My guns are loaded You're in my sights I'm gonna love you tonight My guns are loaded They're pointing at your heart All I need is your loving and a full time place in your heart All I need is your loving and a full time place in your heart I used to sit right down and imagine What it would be like To have you lying there beside me All through the night Oh, but I got tired of dreaming 'Cause dreaming is nothing to do And I got tired of dreaming About you My guns are loaded You're in my sights I'm gonna love you tonight My guns are loaded They're pointing at your heart All I need is your loving and a full time place in your heart All I need is your loving and a full time place in your heart My guns are loaded You're in my sights I'm gonna love you tonight My guns are loaded They're pointing at your heart All I need is your loving and a full time place in your heart All I need is your loving and a full time place in your heart My guns are loaded You're in my sights I'm gonna love you...

Happiness hit her like a train on a track Coming towards her Stuck, still no turning back She hid around corners and she hid under beds She killed it with kisses and from it she fled With every bubble she sank with her drink And washed it away down the kitchen sink The dog days are over The dog days are done The horses are coming So you better run Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father Run for your children, and your sisters and brothers Leave all your love and your longing behind You can't carry it with you if you want to survive The dog days are over The dog days are done Can you hear the horses, 'cause here they come And I never wanted anything from you Except everything you had And what was left after that too After that too Happiness hit her like a bullet in the back Struck from a great height By someone who should know better than that The dog days are over The dog days are done Can you hear the horses, 'cause here they come Run fast for your mother, run fast for your father Run for your children, and your sisters and your brothers Leave all your love and your longing behind You can't carry it with you if you want to survive The dog days are over The dog days are done Can you hear the horses, 'cause here they come The dog days are over The dog days are done Can you hear the horses, 'cause here they come The dog days are over The dog days are done Can you hear the horses, 'cause here they come

I'm still running 33's up underneath this truck Even though rush hour concrete is the only place I'm getting stuck Ain't on the farm no more but on a stretch of sunny days I still catch myself looking up at the sky Praying for a little rain No I can't outrun these roots Even if I wanted to Cause they run too strong, run too deep Cutting right through the heart of me No it don't matter where I plant these boots Can't outrun these roots I can't outrun these roots There's still that back-home part of me, that can't help but see things a little different Like how there ain't no need to put a 'G' on the end of huntin' or fishin' And I still got granddaddy's bible, his old rifle and his name But I also got his pour a little more Coarsin' through my veins No I can't outrun these roots Even if I wanted to Cause they run too strong, run too deep Cutting right through the heart of me No it don't matter where I plant these boots I can't outrun these roots Thank God I can't They're tangled up in every part of who I am Without 'em I know I don't stand a chance I can't outrun these roots I can't outrun these roots Cause they run too strong, run too deep Cutting right through the heart of me No it don't matter where I plant these boots Can't outrun these roots I can't outrun these roots
