18 And Life

[originally by Skid Row]

Ricky was a young boy, he had a heart of stone
Lived 9 to 5 and he worked his fingers to the bone
Just barely get out of school, came from the edge of town
Fought like a switchblade so no one could take him down, oh no

He had no money, oh, no good at home
He walked the streets as soldier and he fought the world alone

18 and life, you got it, 18 and life, you know
Your crime is time and it's 18 and life to go
18 and life, you got it, 18 and life, you know
Your crime is time and it's 18 and life to go

Tequila in his heartbeat, his veins burned gasoline
He kept his motor running, but it never kept him clean
They say he loved adventure, "Ricky's the wild one"
He married trouble and had a courtship with a gun

Bang bang, shoot 'em up, the party never ends
You can't think of dying when the bottle's your best friend
And now it's

18 and life, you got it, 18 and life, you know
Your crime is time and it's 18 and life to go
18 and life, you got it, 18 and life, you know
Your crime is time and it's 18 and life to go, ye-yeah

"Accidents will happen", they all heard Ricky say
He fired his six-shot to the wind, that child blew a child away

18 and life, you got it, 18 and life, you know
Your crime is time and it's 18 and life to go
18 and life, you got it, 18 and life, you know
Your crime is time and it's 18 and life to go

A Candlelight Dinner With Inamorta

This isn't over baby don't believe a word they said
But then
She takes a moment to ponder
To wonder what could've been given another chance
To find the light in the darkness and way out of this
If only she saw what I could see
She takes a moment to stumble to her feet
If I was there to hold her hand
If only she saw what I saw she'd get out of this one
She'd get out of here
What burns the most is that you lied right to my face
And still I take your hand to set you free
With eyes closed
Her heart breaks
And after it all
She brought this on herself
For me, for you, the fallen, save her
For me, for us, for good, save her
She falls before me
With eyes closed
Her heart breaks
And after it all
She brought this on herself

Closer

["Punk Goes 90's Vol. 2" Compilation]
[originally by Nine Inch Nails]

You let me violate you.
You let me desecrate you
You let me penetrate you
You let me complicate you

(Help me),
I broke apart my insides
(Help me),
I've got no soul to sell
(Help me),
The only thing that works for me
Help me get away from myself,

I wanna fuck you like an animal
I wanna feel you from the inside
I wanna fuck you like an animal
My whole existence is flawed,
You get me closer to God

You can have my isolation
you can have the hate that it brings
You can have my absence of faith
you can have my everything

(Help me),
Tear down my reason
(Help me),
It's your sex I can smell
(Help me),
You make me perfect
Help me become somebody else,

I wanna fuck you like an animal
I wanna feel you from the inside
I wanna fuck you like an animal
My whole existence is flawed
You get me closer to God!

Through every forest, above the trees,
Within my stomach, scraped off my knees,
I drink the honey inside your hive
You are the reason I stay alive!

I Was Once Possible, Maybe, Perhaps A King

I see myself there waiting by the roadside
Laid claim to nothing but a black bag and the attire I stand in
No name, no history
Just a target on my temple and a hole in my head
I could've been one of kings
The shell of a boy of the man that I used to be
A monkey in a man suit
I stand here as nothing to you
Wind me up and watch me go
Lay down your guns
Cut me from ear to ear
Eye for an eye
The glass is long gone broken
I walk this road alone
No thanks to you
Load up your six-shot baby
Put it to my head
Pull the trigger, blank I'd figured
Put it to me, dead
Lay your guns down let me die (scars)
Why can't you just let me die (don't)
Lay your guns down let me die (heal)
Why can't you just let me die (when)
Lay your guns down let me die (you keep)
Scars don't heal when you keep cutting
Always cutting
Cutting deeper
Always deeper
Scars don't heal when you keep cutting

Right Now (Na Na Na)

[from "Punk Goes Pop 3" compilation]
[originally by Akon]

[Verse 1]
It's been so long (long, long)
That I haven't seen your face
I'm trying be strong (strong)
But the strength I have is washing away (way)
It won't be long (long)
Before I get you by my side
And just hold you, tease you, squeeze you
Tell you what's been on my mind

[Chorus:]
I wanna make up right now (na na)
I wanna make up right now (na na)
Wish we never broke up right now (na na)
We need to link up right now (nana)
I wanna make up right now (na na)
I wanna make up right now (na na)
Wish we never broke up right now (na na)
We need to link up right now (nana)

[Verse 2]
Girl I know (know, know)
Mistakes were made between us two
And we show (show)
Ourselves that night, even said some things weren't true.
Why'd you go? (go)
I haven't seen my girl since then (then)
Why can't it be that way it was?
Cause you were my homie, lover, and friend

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
I can't lie (I miss you much)
Watching everyday that goes by (I miss you much)
'Til I get you back I'm gonna try (yes, I miss you much)
Cause you are the apple of my eye (girl, I miss you much, I miss you much)
I can't lie (I miss you much)
Watching everyday that goes by (I miss you much)
'Til I get you back I'm gonna try (yes, I miss you much)
Cause you are the apple of my eye (girl, I miss you much, I miss you much)

[Chorus]

[Verse 4]
I want you to fly with me (want you to fly)
I miss how you lie with me (miss how you lie)
Just wish you could dine with me (wish you could dine with me)
The one that'll grind with me (said, one that'll grind with me)
I want you to fly with me (want you to fly)
I miss how you lie with me (Oh, miss how you lie)
Just wish you could dine with me (wish you could dine)
The one that'll grind with me (Oh, one that'll grind)
Yeah!

[Chorus]

Savior

[performed by Danny Worsnop solo]

I slipped up, I fell down.
I laid there with my back against the ground.
I've reached out, all I found,
My own reflection floating up into the clouds.

You helped me out of my madness.
You pulled me out of my grave.

I'm alive,
Breathing deeper than I've ever breathed before,
And I owe it all to you.
I'm coming home.

I found my heart,
I thought was dead and gone,
Safely in your hands, and it will stay there forever.
You keep me up, you keep me up. You keep me sane.
You taught me love. You saved me.

You helped me out of my madness.
You pulled me out of my grave.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

I'm alive,
Breathing deeper than I've ever breathed before,
And I owe it all to you.
I'm coming home.
The distance can't haunt us anymore.
I'm coming home!
[4x]

I'm alive,
Breathing deeper than I've ever breathed before,
And I owe it all to you.
I'm coming home.

Youth Gone Wild

[originally by Skid Row]

Since I was born they couldn't hold me down
Another misfit kid, another burned-out town
Never played by the rules, I never really cared
My nasty reputation takes me everywhere

I look and see it's not only me
So many others have stood where I stand
We are the young so raise your hands

They call us problem child
We spend our lives on trial
We walk an endless mile
We are the youth gone wild
We stand and we won't fall
We're the one and one for all
The writing's on the wall
We are the youth gone wild

Boss screamin' in my ear about who I'm supposed to be
Getcha a 3-piece Wall Street smile and son you'll look just like me
I said "Hey man, there's something that you oughta know.
I tell ya Park Avenue leads to Skid Row."

I look and see it's not only me
We're standing tall ain't never a doubt
We are the young, so shout it out

They call us problem child
We spend our lives on trial
We walk an endless mile
We are the youth gone wild
We stand and we won't fall
We're the one and one for all
The writing's on the wall
We are the youth gone wild

They call us problem child
We spend our lives on trial
We walk an endless mile
We are the youth gone wild
We stand and we won't fall
We're the one and one for all
The writing's on the wall
We are the youth gone wild
Whoa whoa whoa
We are the youth gone wild
Whoa whoa whoa
We are the youth gone wild
Yeah yeah yeah
We are the youth gone wild
Whoa whoa whoa
We are the youth gone wild
