I'm going to get me a gun,surround myself with a wall, have all my family come and all my friends along

nobody gets in nobody gets out
say something more help erase all these horrors somethings maybe only the blind should see the boy in the bloodsoaked tee let's keep it between you and me what only the blind should see
I'm going to find a world a brave new world out there have all my people come and poison all that air

Sonny fell in love and they left town, got a 9-to-5 that brought him down and they fly towards the Sonny stole the wages from the boys took it for the kids to buy some toys and they fly towards the Sonny took a beating for his prize people passing by ignore the cries and they sigh towards the sun
When they told him P45'd him right, they took his pride and killed what's inside outright, yeah killed what's inside outright
Sonny hit the sauce when he came home insisted he was boss and showed her so and she cries towards her Sonny took his time to get things right wrapped his lips around a 45 and he flies towards the Sun

Poor Pride

Well I break down, sometimes all night. Such sorrow to be here without you, on my own.
Tonight it's not right where you are and where I am away so far from your arms and your heart
Hey you it's a pleasure to meet you such a treasure to hold you and I yearn just to hold you
Oh my poor heart, poor pride. I cried, for you I'd do all things that's right
Hey you it's a pleasure to meet you such a treasure to hold you and I yearn just to hold you
Hey you it's a pleasure to meet you such a treasure to hold you and I yearn just to hold you

The feeling Marcus got reminded of another time, the feeling when he shot the car mechanic in the eye. He wanted to not to crack he begged him just to change the oil, the mechanic had the knack and Marcus' temper it did boil
Johnny's in the slammer a plaything for the other boys. That feeling of submission and chin scraping the back destroys
Johnny's cracked again and he's reaching for the inmates throat. The noises that he hears reminds him of a dying note
Coz this is when the crazies come out
this is when the crazies come out
Susie killed her man she stabbed him about 200 times. She'd gained a little weight, result from giving him a child. He'd started sleeping round with every slapper in the town so Susie cut him up for being all that brought her down.
Coz this is when the crazies come out
this is when the crazies come out
Phillip's last in class no longer mothers golden child. He'd wee'd himself at school the torments really drove him wild. He took his fathers gun and initiated what he'd planned, 15 bodies later his face is on the newspaper stands
Coz this is when the crazies come out
this is when the crazies come out

Somewhere Along The Line
03:17

We beg our ma's as years go by to sing another lullaby those paisley curtains said goodbye sometimes I like to wonder why
A smile is often hard to trace upon a once familiar face and if we stop to look at the sky our space is gone with some passerby
although you share a next of kin they killed the passion deep within left and let you lay on the ground you picked yourself up never got down
but somewhere along the line you grew up tall your head held high grabbed your fears and crossed that line screamed out loud I feel fine
We beg our ma's as years go by to sing another lullaby those paisley curtains said goodbye sometimes I like to wonder why
But somewhere along the line you grew up tall with head held high grabbed your fears and crossed that line screamed out loud I feel fine

Alive Now

Hey you bunch of fools I have just the thing to bend the rules
hey get off your stools I am not the one to suffer fools
come over here and get yourself really near
Drop your toys and get your head over here
Cause I'm feeling alive now and I'll never come down now
Hey kick off your shoes you can never see you've paid your dos hey shake off your blue which you will never win until you lose
Make a noise and make it audibly clear
Drop your toys and get your head over here
Cause I'm feeling alive now and I'll never come down now
Cause I'm feeling alive now and I'll never come down now

Waiting For The Reverie

The further I go down the harder it is to turn around
Waiting for the reverie
The emperors new gown, a feeling upon which it's frowned
Waiting for the reverie
This is how I feel

Sleepy

When I first met you you were someone else but all that's changed maybe for the best you've lost that charm and your winning smile but gained a heart and those sleepy eyes
And aren't you feeling sleepy now
And aren't you feeling sleepy now
remember when we would talk of when when I was nine, you were an older ten
your fire died when you first realised we must grow up and live a life of lies
And aren't you feeling sleepy now
And aren't you feeling sleepy now
