VICIOUS RUMORS LYRICS

1. Ballhog

[Thorpe]

Oh yeah, I got the ball and I'm runnin'
With it all the way
I don't need no one to show me around
I got the feelin' and I'm believin' a
Higher state of consciousness
I don't need no one to bring me down
So I'm runnin' with it
Till the end of it
Yeah I'm goin' wlth it
'Cause you know that a ballhog
Just doesn't drop the ball
Oh yeah. I'm feelin' no shame
Is everyone insane... well please feel free
To go for the one
When I got the ball don't be in my way
or l'm gonna run right through you
It won't mean a thing to me
Crazy. Overblown
I never thought that I could own
Something no one could take away

2. Mouth

[Thorpe, Albert]

You got the power with that tongue
To break a man down bring him up again
All that you got is not enough
To satisfy the hunger of that Mouth
You want me to be more like you
I am what I am and that's ok
I'm coming for you and...
That mouth
Oh that mouth
Up your mouth
Shut your mouth
Horror and pain... shock me again
Don't misunderstand me everyone wants the girl
Just when I thought I'd seen it all
Sisters... gushers... bring it on... mouth
Make me crazy over you
I can't get away or look away
I'm comlng to you and...
From behind I work my way up
One taste of your lips and I gotta have
that mouth
Horror... you're driving me insane
And pain... you give it over again
Shock me... you shock me one more time
Again... again with that mouth

3. Out Of Misery

[Sisco, Thorpe]

I see you out there walkin'
Your crooked smile
You think that you possess such
Grace and style... well I say no
The wind is getting colder
And you're getting older
You sit and watch your life go by
And you can blame yourself
You call me over
You call me brother
But I despise you
Like there's no other
Put you out
Of my misery
Put you out
Get away from me
Take a walk around
And see the world you live in
Then reflect if you deserve
The skin that you wear
So it's almost over
You will be forgotten
Or could I be you in the end
And I'll never walk away

4. Something Burning

[Thorpe, Howe, Albert]

There's a fire burnin'
And I feed it with my life
There's a new beginning
And I know that this is right
I stoke the fire... feed the flame
It's comin' again
All and all the world keeps turnin'
Don't you know we got somethin' burnin'
On and on the ball keeps rollin'
Pick it up where we left off... smokin'
All and all the world keeps turnin'
Don't you know we got somethin' burnin'...
Somethin' burnin'
You are bound to feel it
And you won't get left behind
Something burning so deep
Through your body and mind
If I ever come this way again
I'll burn a trail to Hell and back

5. Concentration

[Thorpe, Howe]

I can't breathe, I'm open wide
Start to lose my mind
Love is falling
Walls come crashing
Can't keep track of time
Now I'm pushed to the edge
I'll take on the edge
Concentration, set me free
So I can see again
Concentration, let me be
So I can breathe again
Yeah, I can see you beneath my soul
Yeah, I know you're still there
I can see you beneath my soul
Was I really there
Mastermind with an iron spine
Plant the seed again
Will we suffer - I think so
It's up to you my friends
Concentration, set me free
So I can see again
Concentration, let me be
So I can breathe again

6. Chopping Block

[Thorpe]

I will not go back in line
I will not go back in time
Will I see your point of view
And will you take my blood as something new
The chopping block is my headrest
My neck is strong
How do you like me now
When the game is over and there's no one left
And there you are
It's time to find out what you're really made of
So I dig deep
Just one more time, won't let it go
It's time to find out what you're really made of
Maybe it's not what you thought it was
Tell me, do you feel like a number
And it's coming up on the chopping block
I embrace what lies ahead
Until the day I die, or am I dead
Pack your bags and go away
And don't forget the nails in my hands
I will not go back in line
I will not go back in time
Drum roll please as I await
The Judgement's handed down - No Fate!
Standing in my brother's shoes
'Cause there is no one that can take his place
I will not go back in line
I will not go back in time

7. Perpetual

[Thorpe, Albert, Howe]

I hear what you're sayin'
And you're sayin' nothin'
You're talking in circles
A picture's worth a thousand words
I picture you silent
Not another word
Oh no! here it comes again
The sound of your voice
Must be your only friend
Why can't you understand
You're makin' me a wreck
Why can't you understand
You're boring me to death
Perpetual...
If I had a dime
For every reason, rhyme or lie
I would surely be
The richest man alive
They say that talk is cheap
Well they don't know ya
They really can't afford ya...
You break the bank

8. Strip Search

[Instrumental]

9. Make It Real

[Thorpe]

Fragments of a broken day
Cloud up my mind
I hate for hatred's sake
And I don't know why
I found a love in you
That blows me away
In this distortion maze
Everything will change
So tell me that you're there
I can make it real
If you could see the things that I see
Then you'd understand
If you could feel the way I feel
We'd go all the way
'Cause I could make it real
I see right through you
And everything you do
I'll make it real for you
If you show yourself
So tell that you're there
I can make it real
When I look at you for a moment
My tongue runs dry
My eyes seal shut
Oh God!

10. Free To Go

[Smyth, Thorpe]

A slap on the wrist and you're free to go
Nevermind what what you did was so damn low
Took what you want and the prize was yours
You got somethin' for nothin'... no one to pay for it
Yeah you're free to go
You had a job to do
They'll loosen the cuffs for you
Yeah you're free to go
The judge and juries are spinning wheels
Moral obsessions hide the truth
The man in the black says you got to beware
To protect and serve above the law of the land
Yeah you're free to go
You had a job to do
We'll be seeing you
Yeah you're free to go
Yeah you're free to go
Well your job is through
We'll be seeing you
Yeah you're free to go
