I'm going back to my baby Across the sea No place like home Where my baby loves me chorus Ya ya ya, i can stand this city And it don't much like me Ya ya this big apple's gone rotten It ain't so sweet to me I'm stuck in this airport With strange people all round I'm going back to my kin Ya, ya I'm homeward bound Chorus I can smell the jet fuel My planes pullin' round But they cancelled my flight And I'm still stuck on the ground chorus Ya ya ya, i can stand this city And it don't much like me Ya ya this big apple's gone rotten It ain't so sweet to me x2

What you want Your talkin to me 6 feet under When I was 43 What you got ain't nothin for fee What you want It ain't me Your still not there for me You never set me free now Your still not there for me And I won't hunt it down again When I was young And u were 2 We couldn't try To see it thru Your still not there for me You never set me free now Your still not there for me And I won't hunt it down again You did not care for me You took my home my key now You did not care for me And I out in the streets again What is love If not for you Your flesh and blood Meant nothin to you You pushed me around Took all that I found The myth of you is haunting me You gave it away x 12 To Everyone but me

Hard Core 02:41
I don't see it like I used to, I don't mind at any moreeeeeee So much more than worth the trouble, not worth nockin’ on my door Hard Core you and I, cant deny the road calls me so lost and free you really thought you had it comming, but your rusty at core so this song I keep on strummin, without you loves not a chore Bridge Between the dark and gray there's light Between happy times there's fights Between the times I'm wrong she’s right you can tell that I’ve gona domestic, with 2 kids and household chores you can tell ‘em I’ve leard all your best tricks, but I’m still the same, hard core

Sinister 02:44
Sinister Your Carrying on now But it won't be for long I'm tracking down your every move I know who she is I'm all up in your grill I can't stop Lovin u, I've takin the pills Woke up this morning to an ice cold bed You were out all night, No rest for your head Got out my 45 And filled it with led I think we both know Your better of dead I'm sinister I'm sinister ya ya I'm tired of your lies And I won't sympathize Time to put a couple of Quarters on your eyes Too many years Too many tears I got, nothin too lose We'll be together Or we won't be at all You'll learn your lesson baby Once and for all I'm sinister I'm sinister ya ya I'm tired of your lies And I won't sympathize Time to put a couple of Quarters on your eyes

and I know takin' you for granted Forgot the seeds I planted that make me happy and I know I forgot the things that matter left your heart in tatters and I am sorry but if you still will follow me i'll try to be the man you seek and love you to the sunsets on my you are the sunshine in my life you are the sparkle in my eye you are the only reason why and you bring the light around i'm so glad I found you and I'm so lucky and you make my life worth living thanks for all the giving and my babies and if you still will follow me i'll try to be the man you seek and love you to the sunsets on my soul you are the sunshine in my life you are the sparkle in my eye you are the only reason why

Gonzo (Live) 04:39
Where did you go We're still lost in the bushes With a werewolf maniac The towers they fell and we were launched into hell a mainstream jihad and all the news has gone bad We need you back your vandal spirit The machine keeps grinding The truth, they don't hear it The mocking moon, The deal is rigged Your gone too soon Thought's lost in the brig the dreams still dying but the people arnt crying their under plastic faces eating toxic traces Smash the windows Your iron horse calls out the horror, the horror, exterminate the brutes Fat city its a spreading Fat city it's a catching Like a plague on the land a gluttonous catastrophe. We can't bring it home but you can set it free and we can sing along to their fact free fantasy what happened to the man? he stopped comin' round what happened to the man he's gone old and grey all the senators and dinocrats their the ones we pay their rigs go down, down, down, down town we need you back cause were better off without you with your wigs and your hats you were on to something with your free white Cadillac just a few more years to cut the crap with your mighty sword there's piles of it here Come back Come back Come back
