Bouncing Souls

Bouncing Souls


Cracked

I'm gonna crack one day
I'll just leave and go my way
They might say I quit
Ask me if i give a shit

I'll put it out and place one bet
The day I crack I won't regret
I know it's time to be a man
And deal with things the best I can

In fact I'm only seeing red
Everytime I turn my head
Empty vessels staring back
Life is getting to me lately
As you can clearly see
And I don't think I stand a chance

There's no place I can go to leave this behind
This fucked up world is all there is on my mind
This is how it had to be
Something's changed inside of me

There's no place I can go to leave this behind
This fucked up world is all there is on my mind
This is how it had to be
Something's changed inside of me

I always want to run and hide
Dig a hole and crawl inside
It's not that I'm feeling blue
I'm sure you got your problems too

I'm not a jerk, I'm not a dick
Maybe just a little sick
One of these days I'm gonna snap
Then you'll know that I'm cracked

In fact I'm only seeing red
Everytime I turn my head
Empty vessels staring back
Life is getting to me lately
As you can clearly see
And I don't think I stand a chance

There's no place I can go to leave this behind
This fucked up world is all there is on my mind
This is how it had to be
Something's changed inside of me

There's no place I can go to leave this behind
This fucked up world is all there is on my mind
This is how it had to be
Something's changed inside of me


Say Anything

I wanna make you know I can do everything
But I don't ever show you how I really am
I wish I could say I have no regrets
I wanted to much from you
I don't wanna be this way
I kick myself, I wish I could say
That I have no regrets today

But I'm so nervous that I lose my cool
Everytime I pick up the phone and try to call you
Standing out in the freezing cold until I'm numb
Wondering why I'm always acting so dumb
I don't wanna be this way,
I kick myself I wish I could say
That I have no regrets today

Things just happened to turn out this way
I can't say that I have no regrets today
Things just happened to turn out this way
I can't say that I have no regrets today


K8 Is Great

I used to have home with a room and bed
A porch and a driveway with a big garage
But I traded it in
I kept some faith and laid my head down every night
And it seems so far away, it seems so far away

Remember me now cos things always change
5 long years has gone
I've done some time, sleeping where I fall
I know I'll never be the same
Remember me now cos things always change
5 long years has gone
I've done some time, sleeping where I fall
I know I'll never be the same

I learned somethings about the places I saw
I learned something about myself
I guess it came the hard way
Now I know what counts
I've got one prayer it's in your confidence
I know all the places I don't want to be
Everyone's gone there'e no one just me

Remember me now cos things always change
5 long years has gone
I've done some time, sleeping where I fall
I know I'll never be the same
Remember me now cos things always change
5 long years has gone
I've done some time, sleeping where I fall
I know I'll never be the same

Remember me next time I go away
For the first time I wanna stay
I can count one hand, here today
The only thing that matters to me anyway

And it seems so far away, it seems so far away

Remember me now cos things always change
5 long years has gone
I've done some time, sleeping where I fall
I know I'll never be the same
Remember me now cos things always change
5 long years has gone
I've done some time, sleeping where I fall
I know I'll never be the same


Lowlife

Last week your pockets where fat
Spending on this and buying that
The week is over and I'm not so flush
I'd save some money if it wasn't a lush

You didn't plan to fail
You just failed to plan
I'm livin' that lowlife again

Last week it was pints of guiness
Now I'm drinking quarts of piss
End of the month you've got no money
Kill my landlord ain't that funny?

You didn't plan to fail
You just failed to plan
I'm livin' that lowlife again

So this ain't your finest hour
I found some cereal but the milk is sour
Things look bad but this isn't the end
Someday I'll live large again
 

You didn't plan to fail
You just failed to plan
I'm livin' that lowlife again

Lowlife


Chunksong

To old to bother to young to care
Standing all alo,ne lost in my mind somewhere
I'm looking for answers, so many unknown questions
I've got to take another step on this sole adventure

Why is it I can't see what is it I need to be
I wish I had some ideas about my destiny

I don't know what it is i'm looking for
I can't find it anywhere I never felt like this before
I got no ideas what is I try to find
I've got a strange feeling I'm lost in my own mind

Why is it I can't see what is it I need to be?
I wish I had some ideas about my destiny

To old to bother to young to care
To old to bother to young to care
To old to bother to young to care
To old to bother to young to care (I don't give a shit!)


East Side Mags

Ride! Ride! Ride! Ride! Ride! Ride! Ride! Ride!
Ride! Ride! Ride! Ride! Ride! Ride! Ride! Ride!

Comin' out through the park, past the dog, run
Smell of shit burning in the sun
Watch the cab dent his door
Happy hour, here let's pick up jorge
Lock 'em up! Lock 'em up! Lock 'em up!
Three cold beers in a cup

Ride! Ride! Ride! Ride! Ride! Ride! Ride! Ride!
Ride! Ride! Ride! Ride! Ride! Ride! Ride! Ride!

Inside Coney something ain't right
Too many people on a friday night
I can't see straight in the flashing lights
I got a feeling there's gonna be a fight
Wrap it up, pack it up saddle up
Full tank of liquor in our guts

Ride! Ride! Ride! Ride! Ride! Ride! Ride! Ride!
Ride! Ride! Ride! Ride! Ride! Ride! Ride! Ride!

Drink'em down we gotta a ride
Going through the lower east side
Day or night mags on the run
Looking for trouble, looking for fun
B.M.X. we got suss
When we ride don't mess with us

Ride! Ride! Ride! Ride! Ride! Ride! Ride! Ride!
Ride! Ride! Ride! Ride! Ride! Ride! Ride! Ride!

We are the Mags!


The Toilet Song

Who's gonna throw the toilet?
Who's gonna throw the toilet off the roof?

We already smashed the T.V. with a guitar and a vaccuum,

Who's gonna throw the toilet?
Who's gonna throw the toilet off the roof?

Lighting fireworks, throwing bottles upstairs in the red room.

Dave carried it up from the cellar, bowl tank and all
Now we just have to take it on the roof we can watch it fall.

Who's gonna throw the toilet?
Who's gonna throw the toilet off the roof?

The landlord says you've got your laws and I've got mine

Who's gonna throw the toilet?
Who's gonna throw the toilet off the roof?

Nobody's gonna have anywhere to live things are getting out of line

Who's gonna throw the toilet?
Who's gonna throw the toilet off the roof?
Who's gonna throw the toilet off the roof?


Single Successful Guy

I'm beatin' down doors stumbling down the street dialing the telephone.
Up all night, up all morning, right here is my home.

But I know I don't even have to try
I'm a single sucessful guy.

Lonely with my friends, and lonely with my favorite girl, lonely when I'm all alone
If you're gonna talk I gotta listen because right here is my home

It's easy I don't have to try
I'm a single sucessful guy.

My ears are ringin' loud but I can't hear a sound.
And I'm carrying all I own and my heart is heavy in my chest.
Right here is my home

It's easy I don't have to try
I'm a single sucessful guy
Single sucessful guy
Single sucessful guy


Whatever I Want

Pride's alot to swallow when you've been beaten down to the ground.
You'll be back in a flash, this won't be the last you'll find what there is to be found
Anyway that's what they say I don't know what I'm supposted to be in.
You've gotta be in it to win it when it's your last chance sin.

There are people with stuff and some without but in the end what does it mean to win.
O.K. so I'm here, making the best of it there's no such thing as a "sin"
I guess I'll do whatever I want, whatever that is, then I know I'll win.
You've gotta be in it to win it when it's you last chance sin.


Serenity

I spent some time saying some things I didn't want to say
Convincing someone of something about me not a lie but not the truth in a way.

Slipping into a suit & tie or walking in some shoes
I got lost in that disguise I guess I  had something to prove

But the proof is there in what I do, talk is cheap and clothes make the man
If it's not a disguise and you know where you stand.
I'm a clown, I'm a monkey, maybe I'm a jerk, whatever you make me out to be
But I know the difference and what you say doesn't matter to me.

I don't care what you think, I'm gonna do what I have to do.
Say what you wanna say, talk's a waste of time with you.
I don't care what you think, I'm gonna do what I have to do.
Say what you wanna say, talk's a waste of time with you.
I don't care what you think, I'm gonna do what I have to do.
Say what you wanna say, talk's a waste of time with you.


Party At 174

We're gonna have a party! We're gonna have a party!
We're gonna have a party! We're gonna have a party!
And it's gonna pay the bills.

There's gonna be some beer, there's gonna be a show
Let's go call the wall, let everybody know!
Ernie ate five frittah's, he's dyin for anothuh
We won't invite your dad, but we will invite your mother!

We're gonna have a party! We're gonna have a party!
We're gonna have a party! We're gonna have a party!
And it's gonna pay the bills.

Stevie D. showed up in his gremlin, he's runnin from the pigs
We tried to clean up the backyard but we got no help from wig!
Ill-Phill Deville and Cool Hand Bill
They came to dance and they came to swill
Tim Chunks got lost on route 18
He can't drive, he's from Queens.

We're gonna have a party! We're gonna have a party!
We're gonna have a party! We're gonna have a party!
And it's gonna pay the bills.

The Sticks and Stones Crew brought some wine they'll be here for a while
The dog is dancin' in the driveway picken chiken style.
The dairy swill girls and the demo's are here, Pablo's playing darts
Lando's in the driveway, Lando's breakin' heart's.

We're gonna have a party! We're gonna have a party!
We're gonna have a party! We're gonna have a party!
We're gonna have a party!


Holiday Cocktail Lounge

Happy hour's next door
But you'll have to brave the downpoor
I'm staying here where I can get a song
Free with my drink to smooth thing's along.
The bartender he looks kind of sauced
But he always knows what's going down.
It's all how you carry yourself here at the Holiday Cocktail Lounge

I didn't talk or say much but I got to know alot
The greatest delicacies of spain
The effects of rain on your brain.
I got another free drink with my free song
The usual things they come and move along
Here at the Holiday Cocktail Lounge.

I heard some places can change how you feel
It's not something you can see but I think that it's real
Words that were spoken of passing thoughts in the mind
Somebody just rolled through and they left them behind
Maybe they sat in this very stool and didn't make a sound
They just came and went here at the Holiday Cocktail Lounge.


The Screamer

2 shots of expresso (cold), 3 scoops vanilla ice cream, choclate syrup, a dash of ronny king on the hammond organ for flavor. Mix ingredients til real smooth. Top with whip cream shake well. Dance and enjoy!


East Coast! Fuck You!

East Coast! Fuck you!
East Coast! Fuck you!
East Coast! Fuck you!

E - A - S - T

You may think we're weather martyr's
But snow and ice makes us rock
Harder punkers should be pale and pasty
The pizza here is fierce and tasty

East Coast! Fuck you!
East Coast! Fuck you!
East Coast! Fuck you!

N.Y.C., Phily, Jersey

We go out west and play some shows
Then we know it's time to go.
Pack the truck and drive on back,
New York's better and that's a fact.

East Coast! Fuck you!
East Coast! Fuck you!
East Coast! Fuck you!


I Like Your Eyes

I love your eyes so much I wanna poke 'em out
I love your legs so much I wanna break em off
I love your hair so much I wanna rip it out

You played a game with the wrong motherfucker
Violent love, my violent love
Love ya so much I wanna kill ya
Love ya so much I wanna kill ya

I love your face so much I wanna smack it off
I love your pants so much I wanna pull 'em down

Got nothin but love today
Whip it out and fire away
Can you feel the pain in my heart?
Where does it hurt man -- Everywhere

Look at me again and I'll hit ya
Hate ya so much I wanna kill ya
Love you so much I wanna love ya
Touch me again and I'll kick ya

You're my precious little girl
You mean more to me than the whole wide world.
What the fuck are you looking at
Are you talkin' to me
I love you! I love you

- They're not homeless, they're in a band, they're plainless friends.
- It's the same thing.

Shark attack! Shark attack!
Quarter-pounders and Big Macs.
Shark attack! Shark attack!
When we eat steaks our heads roll back.

Bouncing Souls are on your block
First we eat, then we rock.
Close your windows, lock your doors
We like food better when it's yours.

Feeding frenzy at your mom's
Just sit still and stay calm
It's too late you let us in
Let the eating games begin!

Shark attack! Shark attack!
Shark attack! Shark attack!

- See, I told you they'd eat every godamn thing in the house!
- Sorry! I hate the Bouncing Souls!
- They ate all the chicken and the biscuits, they ate all the you-ou, what hell were you thinking.
- I'm sorry!
- Don't ever invite them back again. Are you a moron. Oh shit! they're coming back!
- No! No! No!...

Shark attack! Shark attack!
Quarter-pounders and Big Macs.
Shark attack! Shark attack!
When we eat steaks our heads roll back.

Feeding frenzy in the street
Drinking beer and eating meat
When were hungry watch your back
As we plan our next attack.

Shark attack! Shark attack!
Shark attack! Shark attack!
