6.10.2006 

He's holding
A shotgun in his hand
Like rainbows
Broken by the blast always

You take me back home
And I stumble like a dead man
Running on his last breath
Rain rain

Like the first time
You play me like a fool
You make me wanna rain rain out
Why did you go
All the way inside my head
And take away control
I believed
Every word you said
Only to find
It was all a lie baby

I screwed up
But I can't get back to wait on my way
rain on
Like a bitter, evil king the first time
I thought that I was in heaven

Heaven
The first time
I thought that I was in
Heaven

Like a shotgun
Blew away my head
That's what it sounded like
Stumble like a nearly dead man
You make me
Cause I screwed up


6.20.2006

Shotgun
You hold it in your mouth
Made me like a threat to you
Tell me you will pull the trigger
Unless I do what you want me to
I don't see it
Am I supposed to beg myself
With your blood against the wall
Not me
You did it to yourself baby

Still I can't deny
All it is...???
Never know what...???
Better than everyone asks
Take me for a ride
TV ??has to smile you??
Turn off all the strange, strange
Strangers but never for your friends

Covered in your heart baby
We could work it out
So no one would get hurt

Shotgun
Barrel in your mouth
Barrel in your ?????
So much ??love you bring pay out??
Sounds like love
Stick it in your mouth baby
Baby
Don't you try to blame me
Shotgun
All that I could want baby
Shotgun


8.16.2006

What has become of us
That keeps me awake at night
An avalanche rolling on us
Maybe we should go dance in the night
Forget about everything
Let the music take us away
Even if we never heard the song before

Shotgun
You put it in your mouth
Try to blame me
With your life heading south

I told you I don’t hang on
To anyone at all baby
So now I let the hungry wanting fall
What has become of all this my love

What has become of us
That keeps me awake at night
An avalanche around
Maybe we should just go dancing
Forget about everything
That the music stole away
And everything’s okay

Shotgun
Lovers in your mouth
She can hold that ??? and
What’s that, What’s that
I fooled myself before
Just one more ???

What has become of us
That keeps me awake at night
An avalanche down on us
Maybe we should go dance


8.25.2006

What has become of us
Chasing the avalanche again
of the lessons launched on us
Maybe we should go dancing
What has become of us
??? one of us
Chasing the avalanche again
Maybe we should go dancing
What has become of us
Exploding planes and hurricanes
Balloons from a child's hand
Maybe we should go dancing

Shotgun One for each of us here Like Romeo and Juliet we are A bottle for each of us here Take it ??while your warm?? Shotgun
For now
Play it like a game
Blame me for your life alright

Shotgun

What has become of us
Follow the avalanche again
Troubles is you can't see
Maybe we should go dancing
What has become of us
Lessons launched on us
Blinded by the sheath
Maybe we should go dance

Shotgun
Put it in your mouth
Try to blame me
For your life heading south
Trigger happy girl
You know there's no way back ???from wherever she lands???
???

What has become of us
Lessons lost you and I
Behind this good beat
Maybe we should go dance


8.28.2006

What has become of us
No one can learn the past
Turning the hope to dust
Again we go dancing
What has become of us
Chasing an avalanche down
And here we go again down it

Shotgun
What to make of us, yeah
What to make of us
We can
A barrel for each of us, love
A barrel for you and me, babe
Away, let's fly
Oh, we'll blow our heads away
Alright
The past, no tomorrow...for that
We're living for today, man
A bullet and we're gone
Just a game we play
Shotgun
Oh, you did
Oh yeah
Oh yeah
Shotgun

What has become of us no
Chasing an avalanche down
I never heard this song before
But I love to sing along now
What has become of us
Turn hope to dust
I see love, love raining down
Come on, come on, now

Shotgun
Play it
What good has come of us
to break out of the boxes
(????)
You mean
You think you've met 'em all so stay there
Blind man

I take it all...
I take it as it comes along

Shotgun

What has become of us?
I only want to go dancing now
The world is spinning out of control
Come on, come on, now


9.02.2006

boasted across the day
boasted of things she'd done days ago, what say
boasted about everything, oh what ago she did
boasted about everything, love
boasted about everything

What has become of us?
Chasing the avalanche down
Then we turn to dust
What has become of us?

shotgun
A barrell for each of us, now
So long, baby
Which one should go first? love
Worry about the big things, you won't
Well then
Tomorrow and yesterday be done
Like running on a road, oh she lay
So I'll be us but still
It's not so clear what barrell pointed in your mouth
Try to blame me
For your life heading south
And I feel...
Always, I say
Shotgun

What has become of us?
Chasing the storms til we busted
Chasing the avalanche down
Maybe we should go dancing
Whose playing the buttons on me
And all of the way that we hide
And what has become of us now?
Lets take it to the ground now

Shotgun
Saw you put it in your mouth
Then try to blame me
For wanting it to rain
You misunderstood what I said, baby
Now now
Here here
I said, wasn't worth the rain part, lonely days
Fight someone
Fight some, playing all the games
Blame me, Blame me
what has become of us?
what has become of us?
Alright, alright
shotgun

what has become of us?
chasing down the guns
and maybe we should go dancing
Let's take it down from here


09.06.2006

So baby
God forgives
Did God make me
If He did, he made me the way I am
So forgive me
Shotgun in my hand

What has become of us
Learning from the past ??rusted??
Follow the bomb down
See what it busted up
Chasing the avalanche now
Watch the buildings crumble
I know it seems pretty fine
God may have fumbled ??them??

Shotgun
And it's pointed at your head
Why worry
Like the spider crawling up your leg ???
Always
Shotgun
There's a barrel for each of us
No tomorrow there's no yesterday
???
Daydream
Like a nightmare
Wake me up
??Start the wrong ??? ???
Let me down again
I'd rather not see you again
Trust me trust me
Shotgun

What has become of us
Lessons of the past ??rusted??
Follow the bombs down
See what they busted up
Maybe there is a way out
??Did God fumble our life??
Follow the avalanche down
Here we go take it out

Shotgun
Got to point it at your head
Tell me
How do you worry about the spider on your leg baby
Sorry
Slow dance
Try to wipe the world away
Long enough to hide her
Long enough to hide her away
???
I don't know if God made up love
???
Oh baby
God I got a lack of confidence
Oh yeah
Shotgun, shotgun, shotgun, shotgun

What has become of us
Lessons learned ??and rusted??
What had busted up
Let's take it down from here


9.09.2006

Busted, don't you hide away
Cause everyone will see one day is what you did
And you do
One day everyone will see you

What has become of us
Watching the sand go down
With all of the bombs going off
To see what they bust up
It's like a game on TV set
What good will we gain from this
Kill them til they're all dead
We'll better yet

Shotgun
Pointed at your head, tell me
Is there a spider on your leg love
And worried of the dark again
Like blackness could bring me you in
Always hide away
Shotgun, like a ???
A barrel for each of us baby
Though we could dismiss ourselves from all this some more
Like hiding
From the past and what's coming on road
Hurry, hurry back
I don't want to fight more
If I had it all
Fly away
Shotgun

What has become of us
Chasing the avalanche down
Look whats lost around
Maybe we should go dancing
It's only when we wake up
What has become of us now
So keep me up at night
Let's follow the bombs down

Shotgun
I said it's pointed at your head baby
Tell me
Why are you afraid of the spider on your leg
Shotgun
Like both afraid of the darkness here
Somebody, there's much worse things up in front though, blown away
Play me, play me
Shotgun

What has become of us now
Follow the avalanche down
See what gets burried below it
See what it busted up

This photograph (of) you and me

And look at you
How you smile, smile, smile
Look at you

What has become of us
Chasing the avalanche down
Watching the world on TV
Must be something better on

Shotgun
Is for putting in your mouth, babe
In a world so upside down as this one
Pretty patterns on the wall
Mother goes screaming down the hall
