I'm tired of looking over my shoulder I've lost my mind as I've grown older But idle hands are the tools of the devil So I put my hands on you And no on knows what we'll discover Something beautiful and new And while I'm thinking of you It's all becoming clear I've made up my mind I don't want you to disappear And while I'm lying awake with you here in my bed I can't sleep I'd rather make love to you instead I'm tired of looking over my shoulder I've lost my mind as I've grown older But idle hands are the tools of the devil So I put my hands on you And no on knows what we'll discover Maybe something beautiful and true And while I'm thinking of you It's all becoming clear I've made up my mind I don't want you to disappear And while I'm lying awake with you here in my bed I can't sleep I'd rather make love to you instead Make love to you instead Rather make love to you instead I'm tired of looking over my shoulder I've lost my mind as I've grown older Don't you know I'm tired of looking over my shoulder I've lost my mind as I've grown older

Life is expensive when you're always poor And no one remembers to settle a score But you, my friends, see a part of me That I killed long ago Life is expensive when you lose all your friends And no one remembers to ask how you've been But you, my friends, see a part of me That I killed long ago Life is expensive Life is expensive Life is expensive Life is expensive Life is expensive when you're always broke You can't help but think that it's all just a joke But you, my friends, see a part of me That I killed long ago Life is expensive Life is expensive Life is expensive This life is expensive You're life is expensive

Barbed Wire 04:19
Lost inside your world of dreams And I can't breathe tonight This wall you've built is to high to climb I can't get over All the times you said you had The love for me, well now I need it I can't go back and make it right You've got barbed wire around your heart And it's wound so tightly You've got barbed wire around your heart It's cutting through me I can't understand what you need I'm drunk and jaded Like a pair of thrift store jeans I'm cracked and faded And no that the wounds won't heal I cover it up again This blood red road that you've paved Won't lead me home You've got barbed wire around your heart And it's wound so tightly You've got barbed wire around your heart It's cutting through me You've got barbed wire around your heart And it's wound so tightly You've got barbed wire around your heart It's cutting through me Hold on Hold on Hold on You've got barbed wire around your heart And it's wound so tightly You've got barbed wire around your heart It's cutting through me

Popping pills to kill the shakes I'm doing what it takes just to stumble through the day (No one likes you anyway) Now wouldn't you agree a friend in need is a friend you don't need Just take it This pain it Resides inside your heart and soul You'll never Feel better Because you're made of flesh and bone Took a moment, watched my dreams As they floated down the stream Slowly vanished in the haze Of a thousand yesterdays Still don;t know what it means (And know one hears you scream) Just take it This pain it Resides inside your heart and soul You'll never Feel better Because you're made of flesh and bone
