We found ourselves in the town
With the fastest cars around
Last night, that girl, Lucille
Had us falling on the ground
You won't slow us down, just one more round

Outside lane and Luke's in pain
Got the words but can't explain
A foot flat to the floor means that
We   re certain that we   re gonna catch that plane
That   s just insane

We   re going one fifty five in the wrong direction
We   re going one five five gotta make that flight
We   re going one fifty five in the wrong direction
We   re going one five five all night, so come on

We found Verona looking for Milan
Suicidal over-drive
A crazy Parisian in his hands was all our lives
What a ride

Watching the time tick by now
Went west but east looks right now
Just on course to survive
Let me out of this damn car now
Don   t know where the hell we are now
Will we make it out alive? We got to try

Roman style on a quarter mile
Think the speed's now in my head
Dreams of Jack keep us alive
With the dirt under Eddy   s bed

We   re going one fifty five in the wrong direction
We   re going one five five gotta make that flight
We   re going one fifty five in the wrong direction
We   re going one five five all night, can we survive?
				

The sun still shined
On what was my darkest day yeah
I had expected thunder, lightning and rain
Nothing reflected my
Mournful depressive cries
I gotta say that I   d do it again

This sabotage attempt
Something I won   t forget
(Stab, stab in the back)
(You stabbed, stab in the back)
This stab in the back has meant
My heart will not forget

A fist of regret now beats
My chest to remind me
Of what was taken by a jealously pride
A silent love had meant
Abhorrent punishment
I gotta tell you that my hands were tied

Well I   m blind and disfigured inside
I   m just a victim of my own
Life   s sad demise
Jaded but fine
Back to wasting my time again

Yeah, the taste is bitter over
What I have been wasting
Feeling heat from forgotten
Fires inside
A loneliness descends
Delivered depression

This sabotage attempt
Something I won   t forget
(Stab, stab in the back)
(You stabbed, stab in the back)
Stabbed in the back again
My heart will not forget
Stabbed in the back has meant
I won   t forget 
				

Late on a Saturday 
Looking for trouble
You   re desperate for a good time
So you head to your local
Better than being alone
So put on your best cologne
For Happy Hour , Whiskey sour

Roll the dice come play the game
The girls are hot and the beers okay
Roll the dice it   s why you came
I tell you son don   t you walk away
There   s an angel by the bar
Take a chance and she   ll be yours
My advice  gis roll the dice

Low cut jeans and jewelry
A pleasure to look on
Searching through the jute box
Looking for her favorite songs
She thinks the music turns her on
But it   s just those pheromones
A fine Cognac, Nymphomaniac

Roll the dice come play the game
The girls are cheap but the beers okay
Roll the dice man it   s why you came
I tell you son don   t you walk away
There   s an Angel by the bar
Take a chance and she   ll be yours
My advice  gis roll the dice
Hope you don   t get the snake eyes

Roll the dice come play the game
The girls are cheap I like it that way
Roll the dice man it   s why you came
Might be your lucky day
Angel by the bar
Take a chance and she   ll be yours
My advice  gis roll the dice
				

A leather jacket, a fist of keys
And some faded Levi jeans
A motor head revving on the red
Using petrol like caffeine
400 horses in my engine bay
God damn it   s great  gyeah

Drop the clutch and ride with me
A small block V8 fantasy

A torque ain   t cheap
With a 5 point 2 litre engine running hot
I tailgate slap it back to fourth
Hit the straight with a sling shot
The speed of lights just a gear away
Burning octane in my veins
A sideways slide always in control
People say that I   m insane
400 horses in my engine bay
 Well I   ve got it made  gyeah

Drop the clutch and ride with me
A small block V8 fantasy

You never know where the cops patrol
With their radars watching you
You fly by in your V8 ride
Getting clocked at 182
There   s no escape cause they   re gonna take
Your licence and all you got
You   ve got no car cause it   s sitting in
The police impound lot
400 horses in my engine bay
They took it away  gyeah

Drop the clutch and ride with me
A small block V8 fantasy 
Jump on in and ride with me
A small block V8 fantasy
				

I   m going to fly
Leave my bags behind
Taking your time
Is a waste of mine
I won   t wait till the fever goes away
Don   t wanna hear them say

Well, the sky ain   t blue cause it feels like you
It   s raining again
And the river runs red but it   s in your head
But it   s in your head

You vs me and I know
Which way that I'll bet
Me versus you know I'm right
You know I   m right
You vs me you're a wave that I can ride on
Only one can win and I'll make you see
You Versus Me

I try to cry
But tears just get in my eyes
I told a million lies
I   m never satisfied
Cover it I won   t see my picture fade
While the skin turns grey

Well, the sky aint blue cause it feels like you
It   s raining again
And the river runs red but it   s in your head
With everything you said

Now I don   t hate but I can   t see straight
When I   m standing at the back of the line
And I just don   t care if I   m welcome here
To please everybody none of the time
I   m gonna take it whenever I can
Behind your back is where I will be hiding
I see why you know it all
Oh oh oh yeah
				

I   ve woken up to the sound of rain
I look at my alarm clock and it ticks to tell me
It   s six am
Grab my phone laying beside me
I   m wishing it was you
So I send you an SMS with urgency
Gotta let you know

Ecstasy is what you can provide
Won   t you stay here honey right by my side   
By my side

I hit the highway bout a quarter to ten
I should have missed the gridlock
But then I could have guessed the damn
M5 west was closed again
Driving down president avenue
Gonna while away the day down at Botany Bay
I promise just me and you

Hypnotized I wish I could lie in your arms
For every single night  galright
Hot within your sweat is on my skin
Pure desire takes me higher and higher

I wish you could walk around my mind
Cause I can not explain why this euphoric incantation
Has my heart flying
We   ll head on down get a bottle of wine
We   re gonna talk all night until the   
The morning light

Ecstasy is what you can provide
Won   t you stay here honey right by my side   
By my side
Ecstasy is what I can supply
Won   t you stay here honey right by my side   
By my side
				

You   re the kind that friends warn you about
Always get your way
I   m just a man who couldn   t figure it out
Till it was too late

Operate with the lights out now
It   s only an open heart
Now you   re caught with your pants down
Pick em up (pick em up)
Now out the door

I heard when I said I loved you before
But I think, that I don   t really like you
No more of the same
The names have been changed
Fuckin    deranged
I don   t wanna see you again

Bout as real as what   s in your shirt
I know your daddy paid
Whose pair you got in your purse
Right beside your brain

Kissing you is like putting my lips on a gun
So let me explain
That   s alright you ain   t much of a shot
Shut your mouth (shut your mouth)
Ya so deranged
				

Pressure   s building up and you   ve gotta see
I   m telling you now that you   re gonna break one day
You sit and smile into nothingness
Your makeup   s run baby you   re a walking mess

So baby hold on
Even though you   re alone
I see the lights are on, yeah
But nobody   s home

The doctor says that you   re in need of drugs
You don   t mind, cause you   re all about that stuff
Yes you are
A rubber room a straight jacket
Shelters you from the world
Because baby well you can   t, you cannot hack it

So baby hold on
Even though you   re alone
I see the lights are on
But nobody, nobody   s home
Hold on
Even though you   re alone
I see the lights are on, yeah
But nobody   s home

I can   t tell you, what you   re meant to think
My advice is, head out to a bar and grab a drink

The doctor says that you   re in need of drugs
You don   t mind, because you   re all about that stuff
Yes you are

So baby hold on
Even though you   re alone
I see the lights are on
But nobody, nobody   s home
Well hold on
Even though you   re alone
I see the lights are on, yeah
But nobody   s home
				

We were the fairy tale kind
My perfect wine sipping feline
A timeless picture captivated our lives
No surprise

I felt you slip away from me
Like a tragic script the damn T.V.
Stripping me bare expecting me to survive

You   ve played a game of fools
Twisting words around
Tryin    to break me down
Don   t forget your own rules
Your own rules    
In this game of fools

I bend backwards for you every time now
You say you   re bottom of the pile
You judge execute me at my own trial

Poison love there is no cure
Feeling broken and insecure
If you stop to think
Then you   ll know I   m just a little fragile

This damn story   s getting old
Why don   t you take a break and let it go
Inside out and up side down
I hear you   re talking in circles
You go round and round

You   ve just a game of fools
Twisting words around
Tryin    to break me down
Don   t forget your own rules
Your own rules    
In this game of fools
				

A summer spent, private hide away
A golden time wrapped in negligee
Backyard display of love in a world of our own
A gentle breeze was your clement caress
Every time I needed you, you were there
That month ran away in days you helped me grow
Now let me tell you what I   ve always known

That look in your eye is a gentle smile
(I hear you breathing)
God we gotta try see the sun tonight
(I feel you breathing)
You are my best friend honey
And I   m frightened of the end
You   re all that I   ve got to keep me breathing

A stolen kiss in a drive way scene
A Capulet kinda tragedy
Montague had to die for the family pride
And I don   t know why
I   m sick and tired of mendacity
All that I had is now a fantasy
Your memory of me is now just a faint cologne
Now let me tell you what I   ve always known

That look in your eye is a tender smile
(I hear you breathing)
We said our goodbyes now we   re dead inside
(I feel you breathing)
You were my best friend darling
Now my life is at an end
You   re all that I had to keep me breathing

Seizure of mind commanding my standards
It makes me cry
A one sided cowards game why
Thought I had the shoulders to carry us over
But because of love I know I   m crucified

That look in your eye is a tender smile
(I hear you breathing)
God we gotta try see the sun tonight
(I feel you breathing)
You were my best friend honey
And I   m frightened of the end
You   re all that I had to keep me breathing
				

Lacy   s got such a dull complexion
And a lonely look in her eyes
A bitter glaze of dissatisfaction
Hanging off of a pale disguise
In life she   s stopped believing
Jaded her dreams lay bleeding
Her business by car light makes her cry

I   m getting older, the worlds getting colder
Got to remember better days
So Cherish your childhood
And friends beside you
Please god take me away

My name is Vince signed up at 18
I was alone in a foreign land
Afghanistan left my mind a war zone
Can   t sleep at night, cause I spilt blood on the sand
I still remember leaving
Was just a kid adventure seeking
Now I try to forget the crying dead

I   m getting older, the worlds on my shoulders
I realize there   s better ways
So Cherish your childhood
And friends beside you
One day you know they will go away

A tornado is your life now
So get prepared it   s gonna to spin you around
A tornado has hit the ground
So hold on tight, you   re going down

I   m getting older, my life   s almost over
All of my dreams have gone away
So Cherish your childhood
And friends beside you
One day you   ll be saying:
"What   s happened to my life? I don   t know
I think I   m stuck inside a tornado
I   m faithless and blinded
I cannot deny it
That I   ve lost all control"
				

A tornado is just about to touch down
So get ready, it   s gonna spin your life around and around
A tornado has just about hit the ground
Get ready your life is gonna spin around

Well good times bad times, don   t you know your life time
It ain   t no parade
You gotta say please say cheese, pulling down your panties
What I   m trying to say
If you wanna fact then I can give you that
That life   s a bitch I think you would agree
Well you can call it a sleaze but you   re the one on your knees
But I know

You gotta trust in life, better hold on tight
I know happiness is worth the fight

I been dreaming all about you
Know that I   m praying for you, know that I   m right beside you
I been dreaming about you
Know that I   m praying for you to get your life under control

Well sex life, night life, looking at your whole life
With no shades of grey
You gotta work hard, play hard, always be your own guard
Ya better off that way
Well stick to your guns cause when the day is done
And what you got it isn   t my disease
Even blind man see that you gotta believe
On your knees

I   ve seen the damage done by Drugs and Alcohol
I   ve seen what can become of men who go to war
I   ve seen a woman love and accept her violent man
That   s life   gyou gotta strive, hold on if you can

I been dreaming all about you
Know that I   m praying for you, know that I   m right beside you
I been dreaming about you
Know that I   m praying for you to get your life under control
				

Your eyes mesmerize, you are my fantasy
My dreams of deaths disguise
Have delivered disease
I suspect it   s symptomatic
Of what? I   m not sure
My psychology means nothing to me
Like a felo-de-se and now I beg you baby please
I   m backed into a corner
I   ve tried to make things right
But you must be the Devil   s daughter
I   ve finally seen the light
You ain   t no Juliet, you   re quite the opposite

These games I   m sick of playing
You keep changing the rules
Take time to tow the line
In the national league of fools
Well I   m fighting in the red corner
With hands tied behind my back
You must be the Devil   s daughter
Who stole my heart with a blood signed contract
My own lady Macbeth, may I suggest   

That I thank you for what you left behind
And before I forget, thanks for wrecking my life
And I thank you for my waste of time
So give me a Jack Daniel   s, Valium and wine

Now my heart call it ground zero
Or my tragic demise
You   re just a heat seeking rocket in red stilettos
Superficial super waste of time now
I was your big supporter
I   m giving up the fight
You must be the Devil   s daughter
I know, that I   m right

So I thank you for what you left behind
And before I forget, thanks for wrecking my life
And I thank you for my waste of time
I   m turning to Xanex and fortified wine

So I   m thanking you for my broken mind
And before I forget it, thanks for fucking my life
So thank you for my waste of time
Now I   m drinking a cocktail of Valium and wine

I hope this note can explain
Why I had to leave this life, had to end my pain
