To The City
(music and lyrics- L. Dials)

I came out of the shell a time you were looking out at me
And got some dinner just for dimes you made my ego big
I got in and you said it sucked I said fuck you bitch
You looked at me like I had love you were such a spinning wig
I walked around that time for you trying to find stuff to do
What was not for the time was mine looking for a funny time
What is this thing I'm looking at right in front of me
It's such a fucking perfect day one legged enemy 

{chorus}:
I guess I'll march in to the city somewhere
And have a pint or two with my friends no one
I'll march myself into the city somewhere
And have a pint or two with my friends no one

You're something better than before not leaving me for more
I hate that bitch more than I say I'm dust anyway
I kill these things of common sense walking on my own legs
It's hard enough when you're messed up out trying to get stuck
It's weird but you don't give it up right in the bluffing mud
It's wacky 'cause you know you're nutty walking around the way 

{chorus repeat}

In The Blood
(music and lyrics- L. Dials)

I can feel it in my bones
Every time that we're alone
And I feel it in my blood
Still it never is enough

Yet I know that you know all of this and more

Girl now don't you be afraid
I'm not crazy I'm deranged
I know I can be scary
But there's more to me than pain

Yet I know that you know all of this and more


Stillborn
(music- N.Cave and L. Dials/lyrics- L. Dials)

When I stepped into the sun
And went and bought a gun
Said goodbye to all my rights
All right it's not alright
Light a candle for the ones
Daughters and the sons
Take a deep breath in right now
Let out

Now let's light up that big fire
To ride and deny
Beware their smoke it does rise
And stings in your eyes
United stifle all their plans
Cut off greedy hands
So they can't make us so sick
With it

{chorus}:
When I feel it on me I run out
Becomes too bright to see - hold on now
When I see you out there turning out
Makes me sick to hear it - tuned out

{repeat 1st verse}

{chorus repeat}


All Day
(Music- L. Dials/Lyrics- N.Cave)

You said it wouldn't take all day
It was late mid day May
Bags of blood paved the way
I said all I had to say

We drove the car thru the rain 
          You said it wouldn't take all day          (x 2)
The bone saw cut all the way
I said all I could today

Didn't you get the message I sent you
Didn't you get the message I sent you

{chorus}:
All day
All day
You made me wait around all day

Kill the groom run away
The bride will just rot away
Kill the groom run away
The bride will just rot away

{chorus repeat}

All day...


Washed Up
(music- N.Cave & L.Dials/Lyrics- L.Dials)

Yeah I saw you outside
Looking eager to ride
Trying so hard to please
Now you're on your damn knees
Trying to convince me
That you've been in this scene
I could give a damn cool guy
I just can't stand the lies

{chorus}
Yeah you know I see this everyday
I see this everyday
All day

Remembering faces
Redeeming disgraces
You're a washed up hack now
Want to slap your mouth
Yeah I saw you outside
Looking eager to ride
Trying so hard to please
And now you're on your knees

{chorus repeat}



Ain't It A Shame
(music- L.Dials/lyrics-N.Cave)


I went downtown to see a man
He said,"come to me, I have a plan"
I didn't tell Mama
She would've made me stay home
I was dressed for rain and I was alone

Late night walking put me where I stand
I knocked on the door I saw it first hand
There were red curtains on the sky high windows
Well it was hot inside and even hotter below

I walked up the stairs saw a row of doors
There was fire coming up from the floorboards
In the last room there sat a man at a desk
He said,"come have a seat, I'm not like the rest"

{chorus}:
He hexed me baby
Ain't it a shame
Voodoo' d me baby
Ain't it a shame

I walked in the room and had a seat
I didn't know the man I was 'bout to meet
We started talking I got lost in his eyes
He said,"ask me no questions and I'll tell you no lies"

He pulled out papers from his desk
"Read if you want, give it your best"
My finger started bleeding
He said,"sign on the line"
Once I touched the paper
He said,"now you're mine"

"Well thanks for the business and have a good night,
There's no out for you but try as you might
It's too late baby you made a deal with the man"
Well it's too damn late now I'm part of the plan

{chorus repeat}

Shame
Shame
Shame


Wasted Years
(music and lyrics- L. Dials)

Looking back thru time those wasted years
Trying not to bother with or which
Phony pictures hanging on the wall
Makes you wonder what you did at all

How can I express this more concrete
When I know you think I lie and lie
Stop wasting all your tears and your booze
Makes you wonder how you'll sink and lose

{chorus}: 
Decision
Incision

Now I look into your fadeaway
How can you ever think right - alright
How I feel I know you got your stain
How it makes you hard to play - delay

{chorus repeat}
