Trans Am

Oh!
Devil’s hour and I’m wide awake
Pray the road my soul to take
I know I can’t outrun my mind
But that don’t mean I can’t fucking try
Light up, I wanna go driving
Hit the road just to feel alive
Yeah, the pavement’s good for my racing mind
But my thoughts don’t brake like my ‘85
Oh, when I hit the gas
You’ll hear me comin’
Burnin’ down the road in my black Trans Am
I won’t stop for nothing
On the prowl under city lights
V8 purring, hot summer nights
One-eleven in a seventy zone
Yeah, I’m burning down Swishers while I’m smoking up Bridgestones
Oh, when I hit the gas
You’ll hear me comin’
Burnin’ down the road in my black Trans Am
I won’t stop for nothing

Kick It Up
04:31
|

Red lips, sharp tongue
I got a mouth like a loaded gun
Last light, day’s done
Hit the city looking for some fun
Whoa~
When it’s getting hot, oh yeah
K-k-k-kick it up
Don’t stop when I get on top, whoa
You gotta keep it up
(Yeah)
I got bad habits; got no self-control
Mary burns in a Khalifa cone
Sometimes life just cuts to the bone
So I do what I got to if it means I get stoned
I’m on fire; live wire
I feel it now but I feel like getting higher
Get free; that’s my desire
I’m dressed to kill, rocking all designer
Whoa~
When it’s getting hot, oh yeah
K-k-k-kick it up
Don’t stop when I get on top, whoa
You gotta keep it up
Block my T & I pop my E
Get right where I’m supposed to be
yeah, I’m a trap queen
Baddest bitch in the scene
If you know what I mean

I should be on my way
I should be on my way
I should be on my way
I should be on my...
(Oh Sonora, Sonora~)
You take & take til I got nothing to lose
(Oh Sonora, Sonora~)
Your every move another turn of the screw
(Oh Sonora, Sonora~)
I love to gamble, I just hate to lose
(Oh Sonora, Sonora~)
I play the odds & they play me too
My heart of hearts
Falling apart
You cut me off & now it's back to the start
All in good time
I'm outta sight
It's open season, I just try to survive
You hear a demon with an angel's voice
The holy ghost is your new weapon of choice
Lie after lie you try to bide your time
And I flip the script & read between the lines
(Oh Sonora, Sonora~)
You take & take til I got nothing to lose
(Oh Sonora, Sonora~)
Your every move another turn of the screw
(Oh Sonora, Sonora~)
I love to gamble, I just hate to lose
(Oh Sonora, Sonora~)
I play the odds & they play me too
Yeah, no quarter from our nation
Just a dead girl walking in isolation
Asphyxiation at the hands of the state
The autocratic way in the U.S.A.
See you in Hermosillo
If I ever see you again
Long gone by the end of the night
I let my wheels spin
See you in Hermosillo
If I ever see you again
Long gone by the end of the night
I let my wheels spin

Lake Shore Drive

The summers never last
They're slow to come and quick to pass
So walk with me down by the lake
We'll take a stroll all through the night
You'll take my hand and everything will be alright
Don't mind me when I fall
I'll just stay up all night waiting for you to call
I'm down here on my knees for you
For you
Oh baby, please save me
And say you feel the way I do
Oh baby
Oh baby
Amor, yo no puedo dejar de pensar en ti
Tal vez...
Tal vez tú sientes lo mismo...
¿No?
I can't get you, no
I can't get you, no
I can't get you outta my mind
I can't get you, no
I can't get you, no
I can't get you outta my mind
Let my love find you
Your heart's beside you
Just let me blind you
I'll always be true
Let my love find you
Your heart's beside you
Just let me blind you
I'll always be true
I'll always be true
I'll always be true, be true
Won't you walk with me
Won't you walk with me
Won't you walk with me
Won't you walk with me
Won't you walk with me

Viaduct Blues

We're coming up
I'm gonna take you down
Yeah, tonight we got a lot to see
We'll be sittin' pretty
'Neath the lights of the city, baby
Come and take a ride with me
I wanna show you how to see the night
In a way you ain't ever seen
So come along and I think you'll see
Just exactly what I mean
(Yeah!)
I close my eyes, and open them
To see the world has changed
But I can't complain
I mean I never asked for all the shit
That comes along with the ordinary
Day-to-day anxieties of an XY girl
In a fucked up world
It's all so clear
Or at least it is to me
Parked out here
Watching the city from the lakeside
Time moves ever-slower to a crawl
And I fall further in love with this new cosmic view
Further in love with each new thread
That's sewn from me to you
You, you...
I fall in movements
In movements
I fall in movements
(Solo)
Yeah!
I been waiting all night for this
Supercharged with a limited slip
I dunno, I dunno if it's you or the feeling
Makes a girl keep coming around
But something's got me runnin' around
And around all over this town
Think it's 'cause I'm crushin' on you
Oh, what's a girl to do?
Think I know better but I know I want you
Oh, what's a girl to do?
Coming up
On the viaduct now, baby
Pulling up
I'm 22nd and Stockholm, baby
On the viaduct when I hit my peak
You feel me?
Oh!
Nights like this forever more
Sometimes, sometimes I dunno anymore
But at least I know what I'm looking for
Sometimes I get laid right out at the door
But at least I know what I'm looking for
Sometimes, sometimes I dunno anymore
But at least I know what I'm looking for
Sometimes, sometimes, sometimes
Sometimes~
Yeah!
Pulling up
I'm 22nd and Stockholm, baby
On the viaduct when I hit my peak
You feel me?

Aces & Eights

Shit!
A mind like a haunted home
When I'm on my own, I never feel alone
It's like no matter where I go
Never feel at ease, think I'm seeing ghosts
No sleep; just try to go with the flow
Keep those eyes wide open 'cause you never know
I just get stoned, now I'm in my zone
Yeah, hell for leather racing on my chrome
Alter my state
I'm staying wide awake
Curses to break
Widows to make
I raise the stakes
Holding the hand of fate
Ante up
Aces and eights
Yeah, I do what I can do
But thanks to you my fears keep coming true
I'm feeling dead, seeing red
Wishing I was anywhere but in my head
Claustrophobic in the hotel room
Check my six and check again
Before I'm checking in, yeah
Not neurotic, it's metempsychotic
High road or low
You're gonna reap what you sow
Bleak repetition
My fears constant
Riptide current paranoia
But I'm not dead yet
Yeah!
Alter my state
I'm staying wide awake
Curses to break
Widows to make
I raise the stakes
Holding the hand of fate
Ante up
Aces and eights

A veces un lugar puede enseñarte de tú mismo
No quieres verte condicionado por ti entorno
Sin embargo, aquí estás
Toma mi mano si algo sale mal
No intentes nada
Tú no quieres caerme mal
Yo nací y crecí justo aquí
No olvides
Toma mi mano si algo sale mal
No intentes nada
Tú no quieres caerme mal
Jajajaja
Odio decir que ya lo te dije
Mira, mira hacia arriba
¿Puedes ver lo que puedo?
Casi como jinetes en el cielo
Toma mi mano si algo sale mal
No intentes nada
Tú no quieres caerme mal
Deberías escucharme
Odio decir que ya lo te dije
Ja~jajaja
¡Odio decir que ya lo te dije, pendejo!

Sometimes a place can teach you about yourself
You don't want to be a product of your environment
Yet here you are
Take my hand if something goes wrong
Don't try anything; you don't wanna cross me
I was born & raised right here
Don't you forget it
Take my hand if something goes wrong
Don't try anything; you don't wanna cross me
Hahahaha
Hate to say I told you so
Look, look up
Can you see what I can?
Almost like...riders in the sky
Take my hand if something goes wrong
Don't try anything; you don't wanna cross me
You ought to listen to me...
Hate to say I told you so
Ha~hahahaha
Hate to say I told you so, asshole!

The Hunter

Cursed blood; the city's plight
Bleed you dry by the light of the moon
As I hunt through the night
Here from a far away land
I'm the reaper's black hand, come to take you under
I know right where you stand
Exactly what you have planned
I'll lead you asunder
I'm never lonely in the house of the holy
I keep my friends in the cathedral ward
We can unravel slowly
There's safety in numbers & blood on my sword
1, 2, 3, 4
Step to me
I know your every move
Shots fired but I counter smooth
I want your worst
I got nothing to lose
Death won't hold me while I'm gunning for you
Strut these streets,
Cursed blood in my veins
Blunderbuss & a threaded cane
Death is just another part of the game
Yeah, me & my prey are all one in the same
There are no heroes in this city tonight
We are all but beasts in each other's eyes
Oh, the hunt is on
We hunt
With blood lust
Blood lust
Blood lust
O, blood lust
O, blood lust

Warheads tear across the sky
Deliverance of eternal night
Harbingers of our doom impending
Winter never-ending
The godless wrath of time's passage
Ruination strikes the doomsday clock
Dogmatic greed, assimilation
A dying earth in necrotic rot
The pachyderms dealing their arms
Armageddon in the year of the fox
United states of avarice
Angels of death standing in our midst
The boy-king lurks beyond the pale
Uroboros consumes its tail
Warheads tear across the sky
Deliverance of eternal night
Harbingers of our doom impending
Winter never-ending
Becomes the tyrant the matador
Gored and skewered on the toro's horns
Hear the sirens, the reaper's knell
Man has wrought this earthen hell
The conquered mountain never seems to fail
The summit unveils greater peaks to scale
Wasteland survivors
Like specters circumambulating
They once were alive
So fare thee well
O, fare thee well
See you in hell
Oh!
This American nightmare
Never gives what it takes
Apocalypse is coming
Damnation in the home of the brave
Your days are growing numbered
Death's hand grants no escape
Put beneath the mire
I'll dance atop your grave
