1 — Too Much

You’re playing like you use to do
Excess reaction keeps following you
Here it comes now straight from the heart
Vices are the virtues that tear you apart
Too much, ah baby too soon
Ah we’re shaken now
Too much, ah baby too soon
Ah, we’re shaken now

Minds clogged with this excess
Strewn from the wreckage of accomplishment
I want to tell you the truth is alive
We all face the struggles to survive
Too much, ah baby too soon
Ah, we’re shaken now
Too much, ah baby too soon
Ah, we’re shaken now
Oh in the morning sunshine
Oh, in the evening too
Ah, baby it’s got its hooks in you
Come on

Here it is now, your demise, no need to apologize 
It all starts with something small
No matter what your gonna lose it all
Too much, ah baby too soon
Ah, we’re shaken now
Too much, ah baby too soon
Ah, we’re shaken now
Ah, we’re shaken now

2 — Ninety Nine Times

It’s after midnight, I can’t stand myself
I talk like a fool, I don’t know who to trust
CK on the table now to divide
Taking me on another tightrope ride
Oh, tightrope ride
Taking me on this trip with you
I’m a beat up man going two for two
When the dream of life is over
What can I see, who is waiting there for me
Ninety nine times, ninety nine tears I cried
Taking me on another tightrope ride

Nights are long and that’s okay
And, I’ve been so wrong and I’m going to say
Oh, I feel you fade, oh in black and white
Still don’t know tonight’s the night
Oh, you still don’t know
Tonight’s the night
Ninety nine times, ninety nine tears I cried
Ninety-ninety times, ninety nine tears I cried
Do you hear me crying now?
Well, do you hear me crying now?
Do you hear me crying now?

3 — Another Day

Bringing it to you pure and easy
You know you’ve got to stop your teasing now
I know you got to have your way
But for me it’s just another day
Ooh-wee
You said this is your main attraction
Looking for that easy action
I know you’ve got to have your way
But for me it’s just another day
Ooh-wee
When you told me, oh you’re such a fool
In this game of love, oh there ain’t no rules
Ooh-wee

You told me that I lost control
Well if you say, well it be so
I know I haven’t crossed the line oh no
Driving me right out of my mind
Ooh-wee
I know you’ve got to have your way
But for me it’s just another day
Ooh-wee
I know you’ve got to have your way
But for me ahh it’s another day
Ooh-wee
I know you got to have your way
But for me, oh it’s another day
Ooh-Wee

4 — Borderline

Why, oh why, oh why, are you so sad?
Guess it had something to do with the dream you had
Look in my direction, cause sometimes there ain’t no why
Your one step closer, oh to your borderline
La la la la, la
To your borderline
La la la la, la
Slow down, baby you’re moving too fast
You keep on wondering how long it lasts
I know it’s hard to come by, not easy to find
The answer oh when there ain’t no why
La, la, la, la, la
When there ain’t no why
La, la, la, la, la
When there ain’t no why
When it seems so invisible
Every heart ache comes with a moment of truth
La, la, la, la, la
With its moment of truth
La, la, la, la, la 

We all carry some heartaches and demons
Well I’m not saying baby I’ve never seen them
Look in my direction, because sometimes there ain’t no why
You’re one step closer oh to your borderline
La, la, la, la, la
To your borderline
La, la, la, la, la
To your borderline, line, line, borderline, line, line, line
To your borderline
La, la, la, la, la

5 — Bust Out

It was fast as lightning
It was coming down
It’s like the speed of light now
Oh yeah it took me to the ground
You were the only one
And I didn’t see
You saw the danger
Oh yeah, but you didn’t leave
It was a sound like thunder
And was calling me
And the storm was coming now
I ain’t on my knees
You were the only one
And I didn’t see
And you saw the danger
Oh yeah, but you didn’t leave
It was a bust out demolition
A veil of tears affliction
A stoned out revolution
Born with no solution
No solution

It was in the shadows
Where I found out
And it was my deliverance
What it’s all about now
You were the only one
And I didn’t see
And you saw the danger
Oh yeah, but you didn’t leave
It was a bust out demolition
A veil of tears affliction
A stoned out revolution
Born with no solution

I said come on down little sister
Come on down with me
Come on down little sister
Come on down with me
I was blind, but now I see

6 — Expectation

When I found out, oh yes I found out
There ain’t no yesterday, or tomorrow
And opportunity, opportunity they said only knocks once
It only knocks once
And then I put this thing in motion like you told me
But I realized all you bought and sold me
What you trying to tell me now
Oh what’cha trying to tell me now
Cause I got some reservations
I got some reservations
What you trying to tell me now
Oh, what’cha trying to tell me now
Cause I got no expectation, I got no expectation
When I found out
Oh, I found out
There ain’t no use in crying
No use in crying
And disappointment, this disappointment
Would be my only friend now
My only friend
And then I put this thing in motion, like you told me
But, I realized all you bought and sold me
What you trying to tell me now
What you trying to tell me now
Cause I got some reservations
I got some reservations
What you trying to tell me now
Oh, what you trying to tell me now
Cause I got no expectation, I got no expectation
No, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no, no
You know I’ve got no
You know I got no expectation

7 — Need Your Love

The street is silent where I came from
I never stopped myself from having fun
Then one day I met a little girl
She said come with me in this troubled world
And leaving this old town now
It wasn’t easy to do
But, when I realized
I said, boy what could you do now
Boy, what could you do now

I crossed the line and I said out loud
Oh, its easy to be a face in the crowd
A deal was made here one night
With a man I neither knew or liked
And when the deal goes down
Then you got to decide
You can’t win with a losing hand
Oh man that’s suicide now, oh that’s suicide now

Staring at the light at the edge of the world
It’s too bright to see 
Gimme some time some love and some sympathy
Oh some love and sympathy

Oh, I’m wasting away now
I need, I need your love so bad
I need your love so bad
I need your love so bad
I need your love so bad
I need your love so bad
Living hard I was slowly born
Suspicion, mistrust was my reward
When I die maybe you will see
I’m a stranger to myself indeed
Staring at the light at the edge of the world
It’s too bright to see now
Gimme some time, some love and some sympathy
Oh some love and sympathy

Oh, here we go
Oh, I’m wasting away now
Just like water down the drain
Oh, I need, I need your love so bad
I need your love so bad
I need your love so bad
I need your love so bad
I need your love so bad
Gimme some time, some love and some sympathy now
Gimme some time, some love and some sympathy

8 — Two Fools

Talking like he always knows
His minds been broken before
And Eveready Teddy he says he’s getting ready
Lying on the killing floor
Taking me up and down again
Taking me up and down again
Whoa, yeah

I got a little story to tell
It’s one you might heard before
It was Lightning Slim and Sweet Talking Tim
They stole the money and are ready to score
Taking me up and down again
Taking me up and down again
These fools are messing with my mind

It’s like I’ve gone to sleep
And I’m waking up in forty years
And nothing has changed it’s all re-arranged
Living in the valley of fear
Taking me up and down again
Taking me up and down again
These fools are messing with my mind
Always messing with my mind

9 — Wild Dance

I’ve been bad and I’ve been good
I’m just saying so it’s understood
Gimme a taste of that delta juice
Keep me high gonna keep me loose
The wild dance is coming to town
The wild man is throwing it down
What’s he gonna look for
What’s he gonna do
Don’t let him get his hands on you, oh no
Riding around in a grey Cadillac
Looking for something I know won’t come back
You can’t see me or the blood in the moonlight
You can’t see what is coming soon
The wild dance is coming to town
The wild man is throwing it down
What’s he gonna look for
What’s he gonna do
Don’t let him get his hands on you, oh no
Taking the top off now
Here I come and there you go
Here I come and there you go, oh yeah

Forty -four times you just didn’t see
You didn’t see what has happened to me
Twenty -three times, oh my soul
Twenty -three times on overload
The wild dance is coming to town
The wild man is throwing it down
What’s he gonna look for
What’s he gonna do
Don’t let him get his hands on you, oh no

I’ll never get to heaven
I’ll never get to heaven this way

10 — Wrap It Up

Miles and miles and miles I was choking
You’re talking loud, but the doors keep on closing
Wrap it up, wrap it up and end this now
Trials and trials and trials we keep seeing
We ain’t changing. it ain’t your obligation
Wrap it up, wrap it up and end this now
Alright, well I ain’t no savio
But, I know a change is gonna come real soon
The poison persists, the struggle continues
Raise up your fists and fight it
Oh, yes and fight it
Come on, come on, come on now and fight it

You can’t continue the game that you’re playing
A form of hate and innocence is taken
Wrap it up, wrap it up and end this now
Alright, well I ain’t no savior
But, I know a change is gonna come real soon
The poison persists, the struggle continues
Raise up your fists and fight it
Oh, yes and fight it
Come on now and fight it
Come on now and fight it
Change is gonna come soon
Change is gonna come soon
Change is gonna come soon
