redlight king - bullet in my hand

I've got a fast life and
A slow cuttin knife
I've been drinkin at a poisoned well
No home and a bag of bones
Nothin else left to sell

I know why I'm in this hell
I just don't want to believe
Past that line you just can't tell

But right now ...
There's someone lookin out for me

I came out of the darkness
Wwith a bullet in my hand
I got one more shot at livin
I'm lucky that I can
Cause I got a little roughed up
I really got fucked up
I came out of the darkness with
A bullet in my hand

I've got a cold stare the woun'd still there
But there ain't much left to bleed
A short fuse that I still use
I'm my own worst enemy
Stare at the faces I once knew lined up just to bury me
There's a long black car that's waitin to leave

But right now...
There's someone looking out for me

I came out of the darkness
With a bullet in my hand
I got one more shot at livin
I'm lucky that I can
Cause I got a little roughed up
I really got fucked up
I came out of the darkness with
A bullet in my hand

Cause I got a little roughed up
With bullet in my hand
I really got fucked up
With bullet in my hand

Can you see the light
Can you see the light
Can you see the light
I can see the light
I can see the light

There's someone looking out for me!!!

I came out of the darkness
With a bullet in my hand
I got one more shot at livin
I'm lucky that I can
Cause I got a little roughed up
I really got fucked up
I came out of the darkness with
A bullet in my hand

redlight king - comeback

Many times I've walked the line
I've rolled the dice and questioned my life
Many times I sacrificed and dealt with the pain
I've been down this road before
where the dead ends are
It rains and it pours
I've been down below and
it's the price that I paid
I know how it feel when
you have to start again
Now there's no one to save me
I know how it feels when
the world is gonna end
But they'll see

I'm gonna make a comeback
I'm gonna dig six feet up tonight
I'm gonna get it all back
I'm gonna make a comeback this time

Look into my eyes you'll see
A graveyard filled with dirt and defeat
Look into my eyes you'll see
the weight on my would
Where the fallen angels sleep
The crooked hearts and the crossroads meet
Where the haters say my name
And carve it in stone

I know how it feels when I haven't got a friend
Even when they're standin beside me
I know how it feels when the world is gonna end
But they'll see

I'm gonna make a comeback
I'm gonna dig six feet up tonight
I'm gonna get it all back
I'm gonna make a comeback this time

Risk it all, I'm gonna risk it all
I'm gonna break my back
and risk it all
I'm gonna pick my spot, take my shot,
swallow my pride and risk it all
I'm gonna risk it all
and I won't look back
I'm gonna pick my spot,
take my shot, swallow my pride
and risk it all

The lights on, the last round
the dark horse keeps on fightin

I'm gonna make a comeback
I'm gonna dig six feet up tonight
I'm gonna get it all back
I'm gonna make a comeback this time
I'm gonna make a comeback
I'm gonna dig six feet up tonight
I'm gonna get it all back
I'm gonna make a comeback this time

I'm gonna make a comeback this time
A comeback, a comeback
I'm gonna make a comeback this time
A comeback, a comeback
I'm diggin up six feet tonight

redlight king - little darlin

Hey now little darlin
Keep this dream alive
Hey now little darlin
I know you've sacrificed

Hey now little darlin
Don't turn your heart to stone
Hey now little darlin
Let me take you home

She had a hard life
It's really not fair
Hides behind her smile
And a deep cold stare
The time on her feet
Took the bounce in her step
She's been let down
By every man she's met
Loosin her sympathy
No more tears
Now she's gettin older
The dream disappear
And the waves won't stop
Man she's runnin hot
She keeps gettin looks
By everyone on the block

Friday nights she needs a ride
Twenty bones to get a dance
Babe I'm not loosin my mind
I still think we got a chance

Hey now little darlin
Keep this dream alive
Hey now little darlin
I know you've sacrificed

Hey now little darlin
Don't turn your heart to stone
I said, hey now little darlin
Let me take you home

If they keep comin at you
I'll stand in the way
We don't have to run now
We don't have to stay
Cause even in a pinch
I can still make it work
You know where to find me
Tell me where it hurts
Baby leave a light on
You know me so well
We can hit the highway
This time it won't fail
Go get your things
I'll grab the wheel
You know I still got it
And you still got the feel

Sunday night we're gonna ride
Forty bones to fill the tank
Leave the past far behind
You won't even have to blink (blink)

Hey now little darlin
Keep this dream alive
I said, hey now little darlin
I know you've sacrificed

Hey now little darlin
Don't turn your heart to stone
I said, hey now little darlin
Let me take you home

Take it home

I remember way back when you had everything
And the diamons were in your eyes
I didn't always know what you meant to me
Now I'll neverl eave you behind
Baby you're my darlin
Baby you're my darlin

Hey now little darlin
Keep this dream alive
I said, hey now little darlin
I know you've sacrificed

Hey now little darlin
Don't turn your heart to stone
Hey now little darlin
Let me take you home

Take you home.

redlight king - past the gates

The truth is they don't give us much time
And it wears us down and keeps fuelin the grind
We take our shots and shield our pride
We lift those stones with the fire inside

Runnin through a maze and we're trying to get ahead
In a rat race chasin for our daily bread
There's no finish line out there in the streets
Well what if there's somethin more than what your eyes believe

Now that I can see this
Light on down the road
So far I know there's something else
If I live or die I know it won't be easy
Past the gates of heaven and hell

It's hard to know where it starts or ends
It's the simple things that keep pullin us in
We own these chains that pull the weight
And do our best just to dance with fate
And what if there's more than your heart can bleed
When the signs aren't clear and it's hard to breathe
And you're so fed up with how it's supposed to be
There's gotta be somethin more than what your eyes believe

Now that I can see this
Light on down the road
So far I know there's something else
If I live or die I know it won't be easy
Past the gates of heaven and hell

Am I standin on hollow ground
Cause there's nowhere left to run to now
And it's takin its toll
It wears on my soul
I know there must be somethin else
Past the gates of heaven
Past the gates of heaven
Past the gates of heaven and hell

Now that I can see this
Light on down the road
So far I know there's something else
(something else, something else )
If I live or die I know it won't be easy
Past the gates of heaven and hell

redlight king - something for the pain

Uh huh, yeah.

Some days you get the feelin' of hittin' the concrete,
Get the strain out of your life.
What about your life?
You're gettin' nervous, cause the purpose is hidden you can't see.
And the world's gonna pass you by and watch you die.

Hell I know it's all too easy gettin' caught in the dark.
When you're lookin' for the fix to fill the whole in your heart.
All alone, this kinda life it ain't no walk in the park.
And I know it's gonna take some time, so I say:

When the sun goes down, call my name.
When all the world around you's just too hard to take.
If it helps you live I've got something for the pain.
Yeah, I got something, something for the pain.

It's funny how the devil's always playin' his part.
But you can't keep lookin' back.
I'm in so deep I'm thinkin' why did I start?
And when you fall it happens all too fast.
Hey, hey.
It don't make you try to give him some means;
But you don't wanna mess around.
Freedom is: don't let him eat you out of breaking your back
There ain't nobody gonna help you now so I say:

When the sun goes down, call my name.
Yeah when all the world around you's just too hard to take.
If it helps you live, I've got something for the pain.
Yeah I got something,

Oh, when you feel way down, you find the weight is fallin'.
Oh, you can feel me now, you're highest; all is callin'.
Can we all escape? help me find a way!
Can we all escape? help me find a way!

When the sun goes down, call my name.
Yeah, when all the world around you's just too hard to take.
If it helps you live, I've got something for the pain.
Yeah I got something, something for the pain.
Ohh I got something, something for the pain.

redlight king - underground

Stare at the gates there's a time and place
When the lions arrive
And they're comin your way
Outback in the corner of a crooked town
Duck down better hit the ground

This ain't no sunset cruise
No hope in hell someone's helpin you
These hard knock streets
Ain't paved with gold
They were built by skin and bones

When it all comes tumblin down and
The gear is in your heart
For a moment that you fell
Don't let it fall apart

Welcome to the underground
There's no way to turn back now
I'll show you what it's all about
Follow me I'll take you down
To the underground

If death's gonna deal you one more try
Then stare his stone cold in the eye
Don't be denied just don't show your guard
Or the sweat and the panic starts
If you've been knocked out
Behind closed doors
Then come through the desert
And name your horse
Rebuild the course and
Rewrite all the rules
Cause we weren't born to lose

When it all comes tumblin down and
The gear is in your heart
For a moment that you fell
Don't let it fall apart

Welcome to the underground
There's no way to turn back now
I'll show you what it's all about
Follow me I'll take you down
To the underground

They'll hang you up
They'll bleed you dry
The hand that feeds you
Might rob you blind
For all you're worth
Just one last chance
Hold on tight
Because you're not dead yet

Welcome to the underground
There's no way to turn back now
I'll show you what it's all about
Follow me I'll take you down
To the underground
They'll hang you up
They'll bleed you dry
Welcome to the underground
They'll hang you up
They'll bleed you dry
Welcome to the underground

redlight king - born to rise

We were born to rise
We were born to rise

So what'd you know about sacrifice when the lights go out?
The price to pay when you're digging down
The skin of your teeth and the pain in your back
What'd you know about hope? What'd you know about that?

Write it off as criminal, a place to cast a stone
On and on we carry on when one is not enough

We are the ones who were born to rise
We are the ones with the fire inside
I go to war with the brothers I trust
And there ain't no stopping us, there ain't no stopping us
We are the ones who will bring the rain
We are the ones who will break the chain
I go to war with the brothers I trust
And there ain't no stopping us, there ain't no stopping us

What'd you know about standing up when the odds get stacked?
Time stands still, ain't no turnin' back
When everything you're worth is under attack
What'd you know about heart? What'd you know about that?

Write it off as criminal, a place to cast a stone
On and on we carry on when one is not enough

We are the ones who were born to rise
We are the ones with the fire inside
I go to war with the brothers I trust
And there ain't no stopping us, there ain't no stopping us
We are the ones who will bring the rain
We are the ones who will break the chain
I go to war with the brothers I trust
And there ain't no stopping us, there ain't no stopping us

We were born to rise
Ain't no stopping us, no stopping us
We were born to rise
Ain't no stopping us, no stopping us

We are the ones who were born to rise
We are the ones with the fire inside
I go to war with the brothers I trust
And there ain't no stopping us, there ain't no stopping us
We are the ones who will bring the rain
We are the ones who will break the chain
I go to war with the brothers I trust
And there ain't no stopping us, there ain't no stopping us

We were born to rise
Ain't no stopping us, no stopping us
We were born to rise
There ain't no stopping us, there ain't no stopping us

We were born to rise
Ain't no stopping us, no stopping us
We were born to rise
There ain't no stopping us, there ain't no stopping us

redlight king - city life

[This one goes out to the north end]
There is and old man with dirt on his hand
There's a room swept for the one night stands
A life full of regret in a rock and roll band
A whole lot a debt and a pocket full of sand

There is a sick mother, cant find a lost son
And there is a father, didn't know he had one
Run down caddy in the neighbors backyard
Where the kid got shot and it all fell apart

[chorus]
Just another day in the city life
Just another day where we live or die
We're all playing through the smoked-filled skies
Just another day in the city life
City life

There is a law man and he's losin his touch
Trapped a loose cannon, says he wont lose much
A prospect picked and he's earning his patch
Dealt a dirty deed and he's payin for it cash
Pressure so thick you forget how to breath
Gotta get drunk just to blow off some steam
So many lights but we're kept in the dark
Yeah, they could take it all but we still got heart

[chorus]
Just another day in the city life
Just another day where we live or die
We're all playing through the smoked-filled sky
Just another day in the city life

There is no need to be nervous
We were born to fight
Sons and daughters we can
Take it out side

Follow the lead, lead to me to water
Do what it takes, to take it from me
There aint nothing left
You can leave me my rights
Carry the Lord in the city life

[chorus]
Just another day in the city life
Just another day where we live or die
We're all playing through the smoked-filled sky (Smoke filled sky)
Just another day in the city life

Just another day in the city life (Do what it takes, to take it from me)
Just another day where we live or die (Carry the Lord in the City Life)
We're all playing through the smoked-filled sky
Just another day in the city life

redlight king - old man

He didn't have much
A pair of hard working hands
Everything that I needed
I got it from the old man
With a nine second dream
He drove the Redlight Bandit
And the grease on his hands
Was the way he commanded
And the life he demanded
It kept us all in a struggle
When he ruled with his fist
It kept us all out of trouble
Even though he would leave
He wore his heart on his sleeve
And by the way that he walked
He taught me how to believe

Old man look at my life
Take a look, take a look
Old man look at my life
cause I'm a lot like you
Old man, old man take a look at my life
Take a look, take a look
Old man, old man take a look at my life
cause I'm a lot like you

Growin' up at the track
He had a reason for being fast
His heart felt like breaking
He'd look right up at the ceiling and
Start again, never breathe a word of his loss
Cause it's not about winning
It's the rivers you cross
And the pain that you feel
Could be the fuel that you use
And if you're in need of direction
Be it the path that you choose
My old man is a legend
He cast a shadow so great
I think of how he is watchin'
With every move that I make

Old man look at my life
Take a look, take a look
Old man look at my life
cause I'm a lot like you
Old man, old man take a look at my life
Take a look, take a look
Old man, old man take a look at my life
cause I'm a lot like you

Now there's no slowin' down
There's only settin' the pace
No more dreams to be stolen
Just the right ones to chase
You've been through the worst
Now you know who to trust
Leave them something behind
Before the ashes and dust

Old man look at my life
Old man look at my life
Old man, old man take a look at my life
cause I'm a lot like you
Old man, old man take a look at my life
cause I'm a lot like you
Old man, old man take a look at my life
Take a look, take a look
Old man, old man take a look at my life
cause I'm a lot like you
Old man, old man take a look at my life
Take a look, take a look
Old man, old man take a look at my life
cause I'm a lot like you
