Matches on Gasoline: 

 

I got a problem with my left hand, I ain’t kiddin’ man, it’s a one horse band 

He’s always reachin’ for a six string, or a six pack, and now it’s out of my hands 

I used to try to stop him but I don't now, because somehow, it seems he’s in command

I’m tellin’ you I want to stay here but I’ve gotta go now cause he wants to do a little dance 

 

I think you know

What I mean 

Runnin’ around 

To feed the Beast 

And when that spark 

Hits the peak 

It’s like matches on gasoline  

 

I got a problem with the right hand because the left hand just let him join the band 

Now he’s thinkin’ that a six string, and a six pack, go hand in hand 

I wish that I could stop em’ but I can’t now, because somehow, it seems they’re in command 

I’m tellin’ you I want to stay here but I’ve gotta go now cause they want to do a little dance like 

 

I think you know

What I mean 

Runnin’ around 

To feed the Beast 

And when that spark 

Hits the peak 

It’s like matches on gasoline  

 

You gotta go 

Blow off that steam 

And try as you may 

To keep it clean 

There’s nowhere to run 

Take it from me 

It’s like matches on gasoline

 

Down the Line: 

 

Last night I saw the other side of my town 

It wasn't pretty so I turned my head and ran back around 

I heard a woman sayin’ go and take the freeway down 

But I’m a freight train rider so I didn't even hear that sound 

 

I’ve heard people say things aren’t what they seem 

But it took until now for me to realize what they mean 

My bag of hope was gettin’ weak and then it burst at the seams 

So I sow it back together and I fill it up with new dreams 

 

I took a look to the West side

I took a deep breath

And blew cigarette smoke in the cold air 

I closed my eyes 

I got the feelin’ that you get when you feel the trouble coming in no time 

It’s time to move it on down the line 

 

I’ve never been the one to let the roots grow strong 

And I’ve been in this time zone now just a little too long 

It felt right at the start but now it just feels wrong 

So I crank it up loud and I’m singin’ to “Tuesday’s Gone” 

 

I took a look to the West side

I took a deep breath

And blew cigarette smoke in the cold air 

I closed my eyes 

I got the feelin’ that you get when you feel the trouble coming in no time 

It’s time to move it on down the line 

 

All the Same: 

 

These streets all look the same 

I’m feeling weightless, I’m feeling lawless

These streets all look the same 

I’m feeling weightless, I’m feeling lawless 

I’m feeling…

 

What’s the use? 

It’s all the same…

What’s a boy to do? 

It’s all the same… 

 

These rooms all look the same 

I’m feeling careless, I’m feeling restless 

These rooms all look the same 

I’m feeling careless, I’m feeling restless 

I’m feeling…

 

What’s the use? 

It’s all the same…

What are you to do? 

It’s all the same… 

 

These voices sound the same 

I’m feeling flawless, I’m losing focus 

These rooms all look the same 

I’m feeling flawless, I’m losing focus 

I’m losing…

 

What’s the use? 

It’s all the same…

What am I to do? 

It’s all the same… 

 

Just get me back to neutral, get me back to someplace where I’m not lookin’ in the mirror thinkin’ “Where’d it all go wrong? Where’d it all go?” 

Just get me back to neutral, get me back to someplace where I’m not lookin’ in the mirror thinkin’ “Where’d it all go wrong? Where’d it all go? Where’d it all go…………” 

 

Old Fashioned Love: 

 

Well baby, I’ve been workin’ too much 

And lately, I’ve been thinkin’ about your touch 

So tonight, girl, I’m gonna take this chance 

We’re gonna turn off our phones, move it in the next room, and get back to real romance 

 

How do you feel this good?

We’re gonna make up for all that lost time 

With some old fashioned love

One More Chance 

 

Hey girl you’re lookin good now, you’re lookin’ good now, you’re lookin’ really really really good 

I’m kinda thinkin’ that I would now, I think I would now, I think I really really really would 

I know you’re thinkin’ that you know me and you’re gonna show me that single you is good now 

But girl you know it’s been a long time, since the last time, and I really think you should now 

 

I’m not the man you once knew, hey mama 

Give me one more chance with you 

I need one more shot to see it through, hey lady 

Give me one more chance with you 

 

It oughta be a crime to wear that dress, with those shoes, you bring a city down to ruins 

The funny thing is baby you know, and honey I know, you know exactly what you’re doin’ 

I know you’re thinkin’ that you know me and you’re gonna show me that single you is good now 

But girl you know it’s been a long time, since the last time, and I really think you should now 

 

I’m not the man you once knew, hey mama 

Give me one more chance with you 

I need one more shot to see it through, hey lady 

Give me one more chance with you 

Break it down now 

 

I’m not the man you once knew, hey mama 

Give me one more chance with you 

I need one more shot to see it through, hey lady 

Give me one more chance with you 

 

A Strange Case: 

 

Something’s taking over me

Something clear, but I still can’t see 

Something’s taking over me 

And I feel trapped, but somehow free 

But somehow free… yeahhhhh…..

 

Don't let me go back please 

I’m begging on my knees 

Don't let me go back please 

Oh I think he’s here, it’s best that you leave 

I think it’s best you leave… yeahhhhh…. 

 

I walk a winding street 

Cause that potion tastes so sweet 

I used to bolt it shut at night 

Now I hold the door for Mr. Hyde 

For Mr. Hyde…. yeahhhh…
