King Of Your Despair
I saw the door, turns out I have an open invitation
You wanted more, I gave you rope enough to hang your children
I gave you matches then you burned the building
Turn back the time, I been your bad guy all along
I gave the sign, you formed a line and tagged along
I'm still here, I'm the king of your despair
I'm still here, I'm the devil, take the dare
Don't look now, I'm in the shadows just beneath the surface
You take the vow, I load your gun and watch you pull the trigger
I call the shots, I know that you'll deliver
Time after time, I've sent your children off to war
You cross that line, I'll scorch the fields, I'll wield my sword
I'm still here, I'm the king of your despair
I'm still here, I'm the devil, take the dare

Living Like Kings
So where are the days we were all involved
Say the word and the problems's solved
We offer nothing more than just excuses
Now the best ain't good enough
Now we're soft where we once were tough
High man on the totem pole or nothing
We marvel at days gone by. How did the poor souls survive?
With nothing but everything they'd need?
We've been living like kings, we've been acting like royalty
We just take and don't give, so don't expect any more from me
Living like kings
Stroll by the pantheon
Palaces and ruins gone
Compared to what we got now, they're nothing
Take one man from our time
The poorest one'd be the front of the line
They'd look his way and say, "Hey, that's really something>"
A blink of an eye and we're lost
Now to consider the cost
Of finding a way out of here
We've been living like kings, we've been acting like royalty
We've been eating like pigs, drinking like fish, doncha give any more to me
When the sun goes down and stays down, don't ask why
Cause we been living like kings, cause we been acting like royalty
We just take and don't give, so don't expect any more from me
Living like kings

Self Made Fool
Find someone who loves you heart and soul
Make a promise not to let her go
Take for granted all she gives
Be surprised when she walks out on you
And you can call yourseslf a self made fool
Try to win her back when it's too late
Say she won't believe how much you've changed
She will sigh and say you're right
But you just don't get the joke, do you?
Congratulations, you're a self made fool
Couldn't be any clearer
But you never get the picture
Blame it on the fool in the mirror
You took for granted all she gave
And so surprised when she walked out on you
Congratulations, you're a self made fool
Congratulations, you're the self made fool

Showtime is at seven tonight
Don't stand a chance unless the devil is riding with you
She knows what she's doin'
She's got speed, she's got her eyes on the road
Don't let her fool ya, she's ready and she knows she won't lose
She just keeps movin'
Better be cool, better be wise, and don't look in her eyes
Fantasy smooth by design, she's fast, loose, and she's streamline tonight
Sudden movement at the starting line
Revs her motor then she stops on a dime, looks at you
She's got your number
She's got the lines and she's got the flow
Advance the spark til nobody knows what to do
I tried to warn ya

You're Done With Down

You're Done With Down
You found a new way to fly
Don't need no wings or drugs to get high
You're sailing over the clouds
That used to bring you down
You got a new place to go
No where new near blue, so far from low
You been those places before
Ain't going there now more
You're done with down for good
You're done with down for good, this time
You don't want a thing you ain't got
Don't wanna be somewhere you're not
The grass beneath your feet
Is perfectly green
You found a new way to fly
Don't need a plane or drink to get high
Soaring over those clouds
That kept you on the ground
You're done with down for good
You're done with down for good, this time

Happiness Is Just Round The Bend
There's something going round inside my head.
I think it's something I need, Something unreal.
And so I see my world is upside down
But there is nothing to fear,
My vision is clear.
All my roads lead nowhere,
What lies at the end,
Reach your destination
'Cause what you find is your love bird.
And it's all starting again.
So get up, get it on
Try it again love
Get up, Happiness is just round the bend

Hard Time For Easy Money
He thought that small time bank was a piece of cake
All he had to a one time hit and get his slice
Get away quick, he'd be living large and set for life
He's doin' hard time for easy money
The judge she really slammed the hammer down
He's doin' hard time for easy money
Nothing easy 'bout that easy money now
Nothing easy 'bout that easy money now
Mister Slippery made off like a bandit for years
Stole from the poor, showed no remorse for all of his greed
Now he's doin' life, he'll be dead before they set him free
He's doin' hard time for easy money
The judge he really slammed the hammer down
He's doin' hard time for easy money
Nothing easy 'bout that easy money now
Nothing easy 'bout that easy money now

What'll I Do?
What'll I do when you are far away
And I'm so blue, what'll I do?
What'll I do when I am wondering who
Is kissing you, what'll I do?
What'll I do with just a photograph
To tell my troubles to?
When I'm alone with only dreams of you
That won't come true
What'll I do?
When I'm alone with only dreams of you
That won't come true
What'll I do?
