Showdown At The Border: (Cleminson) His necktie is bright red From lookin' in one direction No flowerchild in his bed He's got oil well protection Just had to be a blind dog Chewin' on everything Took a slice of the blackbird pie She began her singing I know that your oil is black But your dipstick is pearly white Ten gallons on your head That ain't what I need tonight Showdown at the border Showdown at the border Showdown at the border The rendezvous was neutral He don't want no gossip headlines Her polaroid blackmail He said,"No way I've had mine" Just too much for him to lose Because of some Cuervo passion Cold, cold forty-five, answered in Texas fashion I know that your oil is black But the dipstick is pearly white Ten gallons on your head That ain't what I need tonight Showdown at the border Showdown at the border Showdown at the border Bright red went to his head Tequila tension rising This is no business for the weak at heart This is no business for those with a Nervous disposition Tanned man from the f.e.d.'s Cool mohair buying off the squeeze Showdown at the border |

Talkin' To One Of The Boys: Everyone says connection is easy I look at my score, experience none Tossed a coin when I was seventeen I got the ice, you got the cream All that you see is stanger than fiction All that you do defies all description And you worry about your lack of existence Then by all means go crazy Talkin' to one of the boys Talkin' to one of the boys Makin' alot of noise Talkin' to one of the boys Talkin' to one of the boys Makin' alot of noise Talkin' to one of the boys One of the boys told me what was, Going on last night One of the boys said if I tried it, Everythin' would be alright. Talked to doctor scromaxy, mail order messiah His black book is gospel, his scripture unclean With mass consultation, a blind congregation His chapter, his verse, and his profit ocscene Correspondence, the back of a sin rag If this is deliverence, life is a drag Searchin' salvation, your sightlines get hazy You got it right,go crazy. Talkin' to one of the boys Talkin' to one of the boys Makin' alot of noise Talkin' to one of the boys Talkin' to one of the boys Makin' alot of noise Talkin' to one of the boys One of the boys told me what was, Going on last night One of the boys said if I tried it, Everythin' would be alright. Or maybe you'll go crazy |

Heart's Grown Cold: (Cleminson) Go out and have your habit, Keep on takin' it Keep on fakin' it You're the one whose heart grows cold You're the one whose heart's grown cold. Go out and have your habit You're the one that's takin' it You're the one that's fakin' it You're the one whose heart's grown cold You're the one whose heart's grown cold. I touch your lips with my fingertips I hang on every breath you take You don't need me like, I need you You have your heartaches to climb Everyday, I just hope and pray I just hope that you still have, That you still have your dreams. Come down and tell me that it's better You're the one who's choosin' it You're the one who's losin' it You're the one who's got no soul, You're the one whose heart's grown cold |

Headlines, She's been there once or twice Feeling fine She has forgotten the price She don't know, what real love is She's always had second best She don't know, what real love is She's always had second best |

Big Boy: (Cleminson) A shoe shine boy gave me a nickel With a smile on his face The school kids would give me some gin If I would let them in They were shaking all over Ran into a friend with a lonely lady on his arm Woke up in my garage, I was holding my own Can't remember where I'd been I was aching all over From rolling on the stone I was aching all over from rolling on the hard stone. Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a big boy Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a real big boy Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a big boy Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a real big boy Kissin' cousins just ain't my style Not like some knight in shining armour Touring with the sideshow That was my blow But we hung on for the fun Lots of fun for everyone Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a big boy Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a real big boy Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a big boy Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a real big boy Till the danger man with his danger plan He took me aside And then he took me apart I was a young man with love in my heart Oh, how he made me pay It was the hard way It was the hard way Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a big boy Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a real big boy Ooh, what a night you can have when you're a big boy Ooh, what a night! |

Fallen Angel: If you've never had no one Take the word of a fallen angel If you never been no where Take the word of a fallen angel If you've ever been lonely Take the word of a fallen angel You know you're not the first to fall And you know you won't be the last In flight, you never think you can Can be the one who's gonna crash. When you think you can't go on Look around for a fallen angel When you feel you're the lost one Look around for a fallen angel When you're hurtin' for someone Look around for a fallen angel You know you're not the first to fall And you know you won't be the last In flight, you never think you can Can be the one who's gonna crash Don't you think it's time to show Don't you think it's time we know What's in your heart There's a lesson to be learned Take the word of a fallen angel There's a song for every heart Take the word of a fallen angel When you find out where you are Don't you know you're a fallen angel If you've never had no one |

Ship Of Dreams: Here we are We sail on a ship made of dreams And I I only exist to believe The stars The stars that I see watching me Hold me close Your arms and your love comfort me The sea Is deep and it waits endlessly Oh why To give just to take it from me Here we are We sail on a ship made of dreams And I I watch for a sign constantly The sea Is deep and it waits ceaselessly |

Turning A New Leaf: Dragged up, raised tough Born a mistake Learned fast the golden rule Never give, just take Did no favors, gave no quarter You all know the story 'bout The lamb's broadway slaughter. Turning a new leaf Turning a new leaf Turning a new leaf Street wise, cat's eye's Showbusiness smile Lookin' for today's mark On the golden mile Book wise, movie eyed So cool dudes. Ain't gonna do no talking When they find out they been used. Turning a new leaf Turning a new leaf Turning a new leaf Got to make some time Go through the changes My whole life needs some rearrangin' Self styled reject Ambitious wisher Also ran life style Guaranteed user, like a, Campaign promise from a three time loser Got to make my move soon Because, beggars can't be choosers, So I'm, Turning a new leaf Turning a new leaf Turning a new leaf |
