1. _ Where It Hurts
I'm a liar and i'm a cheat
And i can't stand on my own two feet
And i know that we disagree
But if you would just listen to me
Show me where it hurts
You let me have it between the eyes
And that should come as no surprise
Cause i know that i've hurt you some
So now we know where we both come from
Show me where it hurts
Who will give in first?
Who's gonna try to stop this curse?
It seems to me there is no resolve
To this game 'round which our lives revolve
And each time you walk through my door
I ask "can we hurt each other any more?"
Show me where it hurts

2. _ Candy
You look at me and i wanna take a bite
I look at you and i don't have to think twice
Cause you're as sweet as sin and i know the trouble i'm in
You're as sweet as sin and i wanna taste again
Candy - i'm happy for a while
Candy - if only you're smile would not melt away
You're bad for me but i feel good right now
I'd walk away if i knew just how
Cause you're as sweet as sin and i know the trouble i'm in
You're as sweet as sin so let it all begin
Candy - i'm happy for a while
Candy - if only you're smile would not melt away
We had romance and long, long fights
But i wanted more and i felt it was my right
That was when the door slowly closed
And that strange expression on your face just froze
Candy - i'm happy for a while
Candy - if only you're smile would not melt away

3. _ Less Blue
On the town like a sailor on leave
I wanted no problem - did not want to grieve
All was going well but all for a fee
I'm not really sure when you came into view
But for me now this earth is less blue
The whole world stopped for eyes and hair of brown
My head was reeling my mouth made no sound
What once seemed stable now shaky ground
Well i don't know how i met up with the likes of you
But for me now this earth is less blue
The more you talk the more i want to believe
I keep looking but there's nothing up your sleeve
Your sweet lips make my heart feel so clean
Well i don't know how i met up with the likes of you
But for me now this earth is less blue

4. _ Safety Net
I can't be your safety net anymore
I hang around all day to see you finally take the fall
I can't be your safety net anymore
You've outgrown me little child
You'll see it yourself in a little while
But oh i can't pretend
I thought our time would never end
I can't be your safety net anymore
To see you trip and catch yourself is more than i'll endure
I can't be safety net anymore
You disappear for days on end
And then you say "it's always good to see you again"
But i never learned
That you always had to return
Life without risk isn't life at all
When you can walk and run but still love to crawl
You still love to crawl
I can't be your safety net anymore

5. _ Knoxville Girl
I met her at a walmart
She was tryin' to find a spare part
And i thought i could help find it
She said she just moved into town
With a smile that turned into a frown
And she grabbed my hand and held on too tight
Knoxville girl
She said she was a kentucky girl
Who wanted to see more of the world
And there was desperation in her eyes
I asked if i could drive her home
Cause her car broke down she was all alone
But she said she didn't have a place to stay
Knoxville girl
She moved in with me
And we were both so happy
Until the day i happened upon the news
That told of the knoxville murder armed robbery
She needed me for cover
So she acted like my lover
But i knew she'd soon be through with me
I confronted her with the facts
The smile on her face, well it fell like an axe
And that's when the bullets began to fly
Knoxville girl

6. _ Gods And Monsters
The devil was on stilts this morning
He walked out back to see
The ten foot wine glass he used to ensnare me
Well i wanted to burn down the barn
Where he spent most his summer days
Well i lit a match and watched the haystacks burn
But the devil walked into the blaze
Gods and monsters
Well i lived in a small northern town
Where scratch had always had a foothold
But i always felt certain
I could stop the infernal cold
Gods and monsters
He'd taken control of a woman
That we all knew and loved
But she didn't recognize
The devil's hand inside her glove
She had power and influence
That she'd always used with care
But slowly and surely
Our lives became a nightmare
Gods and monsters

7. _ The Papercuts
The papercuts were my favorite band
Jangling like unamplified electric guitars
Songs of heartbreak and empty hands
When you heard them you could feel the scars
Two lead singers - a guy and a girl
When they sang together i forgot about this world
So why did they stop making records?!!
One hit single and they could've been
Not a struggling pop band but an institution
All their tours lost too much cash
But you could never sense it - they kicked so much ass
One by one they all lost their shirts
I miss that band so much it fucking hurts
Why did they stop making records?!!

8. _ You're Gonna Wish
When i get used to disappointment i'll be sure to let you know
When i figure out where the truth went that's where i'll go
There's something so satisfying knowing you were right all along
But when you lose everything you're gonna wish you were wrong
You're gonna wish you had more of everything you have
You're gonna wish you were ideal instead of a sham
You end up with nothing - still you have to pay
And pretty soon you're gonna wish you knew how to pray
Well i've been through all of this so many times i can't believe
It can still conquer me and make me grieve
When what you want and what you are can never meet
You're gonna wish you knew how - you knew how to dream
You're gonna wish you had more of everything you have
You're gonna wish you were ideal instead of a sham
You end up with nothing - still you have to pay
And pretty soon you're gonna wish you knew how to pray
You're gonna wish for another wish for another wish

9. _ Death Ranch
Fatten me up
I'm ready for the death ranch
Cold ground all around
One of these days i'm gonna lay down
