Skeletons
03:30
|
|||
Bones rattlin' in my closet at night
These bones give me an awful fright
In these skeletons I confide
So many secrets I gotta hide
And I feel them creepin' out
I see them sneakin' about
Try to keep these demons at bay
All they wanna do is haunt and play
Bones dancin' on the dead's resting place
These bones are thievin' souls from their graves
Quiet, you better bite your tongue
They'll steal the air right from your lungs
And I feel them creepin' out
I see them sneakin' about
Try to keep these demons at bay
All they wanna do is haunt and play
Oh, they're gonna get you
They're gonna, they're gonna
They're gonna get you
And I feel them creepin' out
I see them sneakin' about
Try to keep these demons at bay
All they wanna do is haunt and play
And I feel them creepin' out
I see them sneakin' about
Try to keep these demons at bay
All they wanna do is haunt and play
Now that you know this dark tale
You better hide, cover your trail
This is the calm before the storm
Don't say you haven't been warned

Preacher Man
03:27
|
|||
Met him down in New Orleans
He was a mad dog, no vaccine
Got me doin' things to lose control
Please preacher man save my soul
We painted this town shades of red
I took our sins and secrets to bed
Well he condemned me to death row
Preacher man save my soul
Son of a gun put a curse on me
Now his darkness is all I see
The devil's here to take me below
Need that preacher man to save my soul
Save my soul
Save my soul
Down to the water's edge in my thorn crown
Watch the heavens cast me down
Hang me up, the dirt beneath my feet
Saving grace can't help me in this heat
Can't save my soul

A Southern Plea
01:06
|
|||
Oh gentle souls of the Bayou woes
Keep careful watch of my troubled soul
And should my heart be filled with darkness and doubt
Keep me safe til early dawn

Voodoo Hum
03:53
|
|||
I feel you creepin' and sneakin' around my mind
You stir my sins up and bring them all to life
And I hear the Devil dancin' on my porch tonight
And that Voodoo Hum plays all through out the night
That Voodoo Hum, it plays all through out the night
That Voodoo Hum, will make us all lose sight
I hear you howlin' and growlin' that witch's spell
I know you'll bring all our souls down to hell
Now the Devil calls me down to Dead Man's Hollow
That Voodoo Hum will make us all want to follow
We'll all be prayin' and sayin' "Lord save our souls"
The Devil's song will make us lose control
Sleeping dead, you can still hear their cries
That Voodoo Hum will bleed us all dry
Bleed us all dry
Bleed us all dry

Boondock Blues
03:51
|

Oh the smoke, oh the flame
Witchy eyes and devil games
I see fire in her eyes
Sweet talkin', two timin' lies
Oh tell me what I want to hear
Whisper it, softly in my ear
You know, you know I'm better off alone
Oh yeah
All around you rivers burn
Good men cry and never learn
Pour me that midnight blend
We all lose our charm in the end
Oh Lord have mercy on me
Her love, it can be so damn mean
You know, you know I'm better off alone
Oh yeah
All around you rivers burn
Good men cry and never learn
Pour me that midnight blend
We all lose our charm in the end
In the end
In the end

Hunt Me Down
03:52
|
|||
Love seek me out
Feels like I'm not lost, I am found
Fill me up, echo in chest
Bring me to my knees, leave me breathless
Are you really gonna steal me away
Are you really gonna hunt me down
Are you really gonna steal me away
Are you really gonna hunt me down
Love tear at me
Your hooks are already so deep
Weigh me down with your eyes and with your mouth
Sink so slow
Sink so slow
Are you really gonna stain my soul
Are you really gonna calm my storms
Are you really gonna stain my soul
Are you really gonna calm my storms
Love stare me down
Caught in your cross fire, no one else around
You're all I want with your broken crown and honest heart
Drift away
Drift away
Are you really gonna steal me away
Are you really gonna hunt me down
Are you really gonna steal me away
Are you really gonna hunt me down

I Ain't So Bad
03:11
|
|||
Baby I ain't so bad
And I could be the one for you maybe
I ain't so bad baby
Well I know I'm a lot to handle
But this doesn't have to be a battle, baby
Kiss me hard
I feel you in my veins
Lying, lying drunk in your arms
Letting this place fade
Baby I ain't so bad
And I could be the one for you maybe
I ain't so bad baby
Well love me tender, love me cruel
Love, love is war and has no rules, baby
We're blind
Oh lost at sea
And your love will be the death of me, baby

No One But You
02:48
|
|||
Swingin' on the edge of this
And no one's here to catch me, but you
This sounds like fallin' in love
And no one will ever hear it, but you
Fell for you like autumn leaves
And I come tumbling down
And I'm the only one to feel it, for you
There's a spark in my eye
And no one will ever see it, but you
I'm like a puzzle piece
And no one will fit me, but you
Fell for you like autumn leaves
And I come tumbling down
And I'm the only one to feel it, for you
One light is burnin' bright
And no one else is around, but you
