Lyrics

1. Concrete (Fish Out Of Water)
(Feinberg)

As if its some powering fate that holds us and binds us
Lo and behold we pray that it finds us
Answer my prayers
Mend all my tear
To me my mind cares but like a fish out of water
I just cant breathe
You would walk all over me if I was mixed in this old concrete

Sitting here mixing my favorite poisons
Coming out my stereo the finest of noises
Ill know the darkness before I see the light
Sometimes youve got to fall down to stand on your feet all right

like a fish out of water
I just cant breathe
You would walk all over me if I was mixed in this old concrete
Inside this earth are infinite places
6 billion people inside their own spaces
Theres hard time weather
were all in this together so unbury your own treasure
Because its all right now
its all right now

Like a fish out of water you know I just cant breathe
You cant walk all over me
Im not mixed in this old concrete

2. Sunny Days
(Shaw)

Woah oh oh oh oh oh you know those sunny days
yep they seem to get in my way
no I kinda like a darker haze
ooh to float around up in space
so bartender be kind tonight
and fill my cup to the brim
cuz we all want to dance the night
and fill the cup

so I guess I better hold my drink real steady
cuz the vibe in the room makin me a little giddy
feel the beat in the room like a Oday in the womb
knockin clocks off the walls when the bass goes boom

So now I’m spinning round like a dreidel in a fable
guess its time to catch a cab back to rock the cradle
throw a twenty for the ride grab my keys to go inside
stop to feed my hound dog sleeping on his raw hide

so now I go inside being quiet as a mouse
slip into the bed to reveal her flower blouse
she’s high man smokin on a bowl
she says "Hey David won’t you get the fuck out!”

Woah oh oh oh oh oh oh ya know them sunny days
yup they seem to get in my way
no I kinda like a darker haze
ooh to float around up in space
so bartender be kind tonight
and fill my cup to the brim
cuz we all want to dance the night
and fill the cup with sin
with sin with sin with sin with sin with sin with sin

One shot for all you lovers
two shots for your queens
three for my man up at NYC
four for them girlies on the back of the bus
five shots for the women who never gonna fuss
six for my mom, seven for my dad
eight for the ladies dressin scantily clad
nine for my boys out in PCB
and ten for my love don’t know why you love me

Woah oh oh oh oh oh oh ya know them sunny days
yup they seem to get in my way
no I kinda like a darker haze
ooh to float around up in space
so bartender be kind tonight
and fill my cup to the brim
cuz we all want to dance the night
and fill the cup with sin
with sin with sin with sin with sin with sin with sin

Right now I feel so connected to you
it don’t matter what you do
youre on my mind
these blankets ohhh wont keep us warm
then I know Im gonna have to lay down in your thighs...
make me cry... ohhhhhh ohhhh

5. Soulfight
(Shaw)

Isnt anybody home in here
Its getting cold and I just dont care
So Im gonna find something else to do
Just take a really good look at me
Im 22 and I still dont see why
All of you people cant get along anymore
Falling down aint so hard to do
Your only crutch be the bottle of brew
So Im gonna find something else to do uh huh
Cuz if I ever was to say to you
All the things that you wanted me to love
Then Id have to find something else to do uh huh

So Im gonna stand here by your fire
Cuz its a cold one tonight
Im taking care of soulfight
And youre the reason why
I dont ask questions, I dont tell no lies
And thats the reason why
Im taking care of soulfight
And youre the reason why

Oh my god I almost died last night
Wrecked my car and totaled my life
So Im gonna find something else to do uh huh
Cuz if I ever was to say to you
All the things that you wanted me to love
Id have to find something else to do uh huh

So Im gonna stand here by your fire
Cuz its a cold one tonight
Im taking care of soulfight
And youre the reason why
I dont ask questions, I dont tell no lies
And thats the reason why
Im taking care of soulfight
And youre the reason why
Ohh youre the reason why
Youre the reason why...
Ohh youre the reason why..

So mother Mary wont you come sing a song for me
And make it last all damn night
Cuz you know I cant hang on you see
While this noose pulls me so tight
Well ill scratch and bleed from my finger nails
Until every bit of me was gone
Cuz I didn’t want her and I didn’t need her
So now I leave it alone

So I’m gonna stand here by your fire
Cuz its a cold one tonight
Im taking care of soulfight
And youre the reason why
I dont ask questions, I dont tell no lies
And that’s the reason why
Im taking care of soulfight
And you’re the reason why
Oh you’re the reason why
Oh you’re the reason why
Oh you’re the reason why
