THUNDERHEAD LYRICS

1. Busted At The Border

Drove down to Mexico for a while yea
Went there for business, I never cracked a smile
Met my connection, everything seemed right
Headed back to Brooklyn in the dead of the night
Had a feeling something wasn`t right
Locked in my mirror, oh no, its flashing lights

Busted at the border
Busted
Looks like I`m doin` time
Long time long time
Busted at the border
Busted
Looks like goodbye to daylight

Eight hours later still sitting in the jail
Charged with possession, I can`t make the bail
I called my lawyer, he said your on your own boy

I got busted at the border
Busted
Looks like I`m doin` time
Long time long time
Busted at the border
Busted
Looks like goodbye to daylight

Finally saw the judge, he was lookin` mean
He said my type don`t belong on the streets
Now I`m doin` twenty, maybe out in ten again
Busted at the border
Busted
Looks like I`m doin` time
Long time long time
Busted at the border
Busted
Looks like goodbye to daylight

2. 42nd Street

Had a crazy time down on 42nd street
Ya now the people there are always in the heat
If you don`t tell no lies, look `em in the face
But just one slip of the lip, you`ll be gone without a trace

Too many people say they won`t give a glance
But they`re just too scared and wouldn`t stand a chance
Down on the 42nd street, down on the 42nd street

Well me and the boys, we had to get away
From all the small town clowns, always got something to say
So we packed our bags and headed for the lights
Nothin`s better than a blow-out New York night

When I hit that place that everyone seems to hate
Gonna be myself and make damn sure we stay
Down on the 42nd street, down on the 42nd street

Had a crazy time down on 42nd street
Ya now the people there are always in the heat
If ya wanna lose your mind, end up in lost and found
I know I`ll see you there, makin` all the rounds

Too many people say they won`t give a glance
But they`re just too scared and wouldn`t stand a chance
Down on the 42nd street, down on the 42nd street

3. Good `Til The Last Drop

In the heat of the city, in the dead of the night
Playin` with my life, it felt so right
Lost souls in these empty nights, fill the streets like traffic lights
Lookin` for a better way to get through another day

Losin` friends by the minute
Didn`t care cause there weren`t in it
Knew I was headin` for a fall
Takin` a chance of losin` it all

It was - good till the last drop, I`d walk the wire
When it set my heart pumpin` fire, good till the last drop
Never wanna stop cause it was good till the last drop

I`d wake up in another daze, hopin` money`s gonna come my way
Knew it was wrong, but it felt so right, I couldn`t face the fact
I`d be the one to stab you in the back
Never could get my fill, it was always, shoot to kill

Using friends by the minute
Who dares to play if you can`t win it
Knew I was headin` for a fall
Takin` a chance of losin` it all

Good till the last drop, I`d walk the wire
When it set my heart pumpin` fire, good till the last drop
Never wanna stop cause it was good till the last drop

4. The Darker Side Of Yesterday

Another sleepless night, layin` in my bed and my mind is racin`
From the past that I regret I gave my life to you on my own free will
Now I`ll try to take it back with another pill

It`s no use holdin` back things you can`t erase
I tried so many times but it`s here to stay
The darker side of yesterday, the darker side of yesterday

Well seven years ago a man walked in the night
And showed no mercy when he came and took your life
Now I`m so empty, nothin` I can do
The bastard got away and never left a clue

I know he`s out there, he walks the streets again
And I can`t take it, the pain and the rage
From the darker side of yesterday, the darker side of yesterday

It`s no use holdin` back, things you can`t erase
I tried so many times but it`s here to stay

The darker side of yesterday
The darker side of yesterday
The darker side of yesterday
The darker side of yesterday
The darker side of yesterday

5. No Security

I can`t take another day with you, all ya do is get me down, it`s true
Your callin` me all the time, I think I`m gonna lose my mind
If you don`t stop crawling on your knees

Your always chasing after me
Ya say that`s where you want to be
Baby, this is what I`ve come to see
You got no security
You got no security

First time that I saw you, it was alright
I said it was ok to spend the night
Ya started hanging over me, like a dark cloud
Now can`t ya see, now I finally know the reason why

Your always chasing after me
Ya say that`s where you want to be
Baby, this is what I`ve come to see
You got no security
You got no security

Your always chasing after me
Ya say that`s where you want to be
Baby, this is what I`ve come to see
You got no security
You got no security

6. Hard Kind Of Woman

I`ve waited so long for what was mine
I never tried to hide my feelings inside
Then you came along, it was alright
How was I to know, you`d try to ruin my life
But theres something that makes me stay
Why don`t you give it up and try to find your way
There`s more to life than lies it you want it
You got to pay the price

Baby you could change the way that you are
I never thought you`d let it get so far

You`re a hard kind of woman when it comes to love
Hard kind of woman just has to be above
Hard kind of woman, oh yeah, hard kind of woman

You?re trying to do what others did before
Take what you need and crying out for more
You stare with a strangers eyes
Girl, I don`t think your really worth the while

Baby you could change the way that you are
I never thought you`d let it get so far

You`re a hard kind of woman when it comes to love
Hard kind of woman just has to be above
Hard kind of woman, oh yeah, hard kind of woman

Baby you could change the way that you are
I never thought you`d let it get so far

You`re a hard kind of woman when it comes to love
Hard kind of woman just has to be above
Hard kind of woman, oh yeah, hard kind of woman

7. Terrified

Why should I have to be in a world not meant for me
Screams a frightened boy he never gets a break
But pays for his mistakes, can`t face another day

And all the tears he swallows when he knows no one is there
Watching in despair he`s tired of having to be

Terrified, the fighting and sadness
Terrified, hating the madness

Walking the streets alone, thousand miles from home
Hunger every night, razor in his hand
Not afraid to take a stand, sees no hope in sight

And all the tears he swallows when he knows no one is there
Watching in despair he`s tired of having to be

Terrified, the fighting and sadness
Terrified, hating the madness

And all the tears he swallows when he knows no one is there
Watching in despair he`s tired of having to be

Terrified, the fighting and sadness
Terrified, hating the madness

8. 25 Or 6 To 4

Waiting for the break of day
Searching for something to say
Flashing lights against the sky
Giving up I close my eyes
Sitting cross-legged on the floor
Twenty-five or six to four
Staring blindly into space
Getting up to splash my face
Wanting just to stay awake
Wond'ring how much I can take
Should I try to do some more
Twenty-five or six to four
Feeling like I ought to sleep
Spinning room is sinking deep
Waiting for the break of day
Searching for something to say
Twenty-five or six to four
Twenty-five or six to four

9. Face To Lace

She had it comin` for a long time
Said she was a virgin but to me that didn`t rhyme
I got another thing up my sleeve
I`ve been watchin` you every night
And they tell me you`re the type who likes to fight
I wanna get on my knees and please ya

Every time I turn my back, it`s another heart
I`m only askin` for one night, why don`t you let me do what`s right
C`mon baby, let`s fly
Face to lace, I`m cummin` at midnight
Face to lace, gonna make you a sorry sight
Face to lace, why don`t ya just let go
Face to lace, and don`t say no, no, no

I finally got her to my place, said she wants to take her time
What a disgrace, I got no time for games
She said "Teddy, not so fast"
Ohh this girl`s gettin` to be a pain in my ass
Let me do it to ya one time you`ll see

Every time I turn my back, it`s another heart
I`m only askin` for one night, why don`t you let me do what`s right
C`mon baby, let`s fly
Face to lace, I`m cummin` at midnight
Face to lace, gonna make you a sorry sight
Face to lace, why don`t ya just let go
Face to lace, and don`t say no, no, no

The last thing on my mind is a lover
You better hurry and change your mind before it`s too late
Gonna miss the time of your life

10. Wicked Love

Sweet innocence she stole my heart with a hunger in her eyes
Little babe I`m yours no more, can see though your disguise

Wicked love, wicked love

With an evil walk and a magic talk
She`s got me by the balls, little girls got me hooked
Can`t break down the walls

Wicked love, wicked love

She`s a dream turned nightmare
Everyone falls, she`ll make ya feel your the only one

Don`t take the bitch for granted, she`s got everything ya need
When she`s up and leavin` there`s laughin` while ya bleed

Wicked love, wicked love

Gonna take all your money, shoot ya down in flames
She`ll be thinkin` it`s funny, another sucker in her little game

Wicked love, wicked love

She`s got class lot`s of flash
Everyone falls, she`ll make ya feel you`re the only one
She`s so bad, the fuckin` nag

11. Caught Between The Lies

I guess you give about as good as you get in these troubled times
You seem to forget who you love or who you can trust
But I know I just got to let you go and you won`t ever let it show
I just made promises right from the start
Lies in my secrets, whispered in the dark
Should have known, I didn`t have a chance that way
I don`t wanna let ya go, you had enough and you won`t take anymore

Caught between the lies
Don`t want to lose ya baby
Now it`s lonely nights
Caught between the lies
Don`t want to lose ya girl

Tried to talk it out, my last mistake
Behind the changing smile, it`s harder to fake
Had your mind made up, hangin` `round this town
I know I just got to let you go
Ya had enough you won`t take anymore

Caught between the lies
Don`t want to lose ya baby
Now it`s lonely nights
Caught between the lies
Don`t want to lose ya girl
It`s gonna be lonely
Guess you had enough
