All Week 05:15
Don't wake me when I'm tired Caress me when I sleep I'll give you what your heart desires Even if it takes all week No ID required Let the gates flood In with the fleet Into the night we’ll conspire In the end well form the leak Turned around It's all comin down Bombs away I didn't really wanna sleep today I caught you and retired I know those folks won't catch up with this Not running with the pack for hire I bet the warrant outweighs the risk Run down the day in the red hot sun Speed up and perspire Turned around It's all comin down Bombs away I didn't really Didn't really Didn't really wanna sleep today

Salt 06:52
The salt in my step Won't leave me tomorrow By my own design Beg plead and borrow Cast off my shoes Bite my tongue Sing the blues This is the time of a great deception Keep your eyes to the sky Don't lose your direction Ships cast off Anchor me down Sinking sand Candy land Feet don't fail me now Feet don’t fail me now Find a way To be kept at bay Taking for tomorrow Once was promised today

Parasite 06:41
When the lightning struck And the lights were low Like the hard rain hitting on your window We were two of a kind storming up kind minds Get up and get ready to go Callin topsey turvey Give a Hurley burly Thank your mother Yours and mine It was just prepared If you'd've only been aware Then you would've known It's like the American dream Or trapped somewhere in between Hither near or far How'd you do Would you doe see doe With a Carolina cougar Knocking at your door When you need it most Why does your host Feel more like a parasite I came and left Now back from death Gonna make you get it right To make you get it right A plush toned seat With a body to beat And she's set on over drive Drivin all over your heart

Kang Gang Amazed and confused Not alone and never blue Even by yourself Oh even by yourself you'll find the groove The sand in your toes The smell that's on your cloths Shakedown Street is getting down In a bad part of town The Kang gang is comin for ya I see them on the rise The Kang gang is comin for ya Dancing by your side The Kang gang is comin for ya Grooving to your side Grooving for your life Groove until you die The storms came storming in The Kangs gave people gin And they partied that rainy night away Crazed by a muse The trees alive And the lit is fused Not quite by yourself Oh not quite by yourself we're on the move The band is getting close Let's storm the stage And give a Kang gang toast I said this is for my people Let the rhythm feed your soul The Kang gang is comin for ya I see them on the rise The Kang gang is comin for ya Dancing by your side The Kang gang is comin for ya Grooving to your side Grooving for your life Groove until you die Dancin' Feet Black cat’s foot path Leads to the distance Like a shadow of the night And hidden safely In my pocket The secret to my delight Hold fast to the ground beneath Your dancing feet To and fro they come and go Just try to keep up with the beat Centered all in time The lights flash with ours in mind The call from the captain With his job on the line Hold fast to the ground beneath Your dancing feet To and fro they come and go Just try to keep up with the beat For the siren did ring And the dogs released to the sent Of the patch of clothing The captain found on the fence Hold fast to the ground beneath Your dancing feet To and fro they come and go Just try to keep up with the beat

A man skipping town with no roof on his ride Drives a 6 flat quarter mile His hair slicked back And the wind in his eyes There's no turning back for a while I said, Oh that man Well I thought you would know Dark eyes He must have left here an hour ago Copilot can you press the steel Say hey I can take it Take the wheel He cleared the room as a storm comin in Temperatures a dropping like the kids in there did And when a man a came a knocking all they did there was sit Not a gun retaliation just a bone to pick Copilot can you press the steel Say hey I can take it Take the wheel Had no clue until reality set in Off the devils dues awe that evil emotion Condemned by what could have been Now he's in a white roomed asylum with just a pill to take Copilot can you press the steel Say hey I can take it Take the wheel

The Heathen 10:05
Heathen on the highway Tire tracks from the shoulder on And the body in my back seat Shoulda never trust that bag of bones Lights on the freeway flicker As the mile marker counts me down There's a ticket on my window That don’t surprise me any how The tires are flying Don't get left behind Cuz when the fire dies I won't be there in your eyes I said look What's there to do I got two brown eyes And their looking for you Rollin down the road I'm feeling tired I'm feeling old Here we go Bumps and pot holes I'm feeling high I'm feeling low Here we go Heated in the ash tray Was a bullet and a Marlboro red She was cut up in the back seat With a bounty on her head She had a bone of contention And thought that she should mention She had her phone in her pocket And the cops she's about to call it Rollin down the road I'm feeling tired I'm feeling old Here we go Bumps and pot holes I'm feeling high I'm feeling low Here we go Rolling down the road I'm feeling bad I'm feeling cold Here we go Bumps and pot holes I'm feeling high I'm feeling low Here we go

Testify (free) 07:28
Testify By the light of the moon With the open earth And not the silver spoon Electrify the night Let it not be consumed Sound it out to the letter And the Spirit of the groove The pendulum is swinging soon Testify And give up the truth You cannot control your body The way the rhythm makes you move The courts in session So gathers round The music will possess you Surrender to the sound You feel the room balance in tune See the world in full bloom When lady justice Leaves the room Know your hurry On the way to the moon Anesthetized Lined up in ones and twos Collected minds Make a choice win or lose Testify That you cannot consume That poison shit They put in your food The courts in session So gather round The music will possess you Surrender to the sound See the world in full bloom A new dawn is coming true Lick jam drums Testify By the light of the moon With the open earth And not the silver spoon Electrify the night Let it not be consumed Sound it out to the letter And the Spirit of the groove
