- Track Name: Corrida de Toros
-
Trumpet calls you to the ring
overhead vulture sings
Rip the earth and gore the sky
When you pierce hi suit of lights
Corrida de toros
Pass once
Pass twice
The luck of the cape has run out, matador
Blind to the red of silk
Blood runs cold
Kill or be killed
See his eyes, they're filled with glee
Your flags won't make these shoulders bleed
Pass once
Pass twice
The luck of the cape has run out, matador - Track Name: Happiness Machine

Leo toils, Leo builds
He spoils he wills his family apart
She cries and she shouts
"What's all this about - why go breaking our hearts?"
Leo tell me how's your life?
Your kids? Your wife?
Has it all been in vain?
He smiles,
"I've been blind, been with me all the time. The answer was plain."
Built your vices
Forget what life is
Best laid plans can slip through your hands
Things lost can be found
When dreams burn to the ground
Best laid plans can slip through your hands - Track Name: Poorhouse
-
When it all comes down
I'll still be around
Hand-in-hand we'll stand
In the door of the poorhouse
Wish on a star
Slam that PBR
All the frills are out
When you're living in the poorhouse
Why bother crying?
Just gotta laugh
No harm in trying
Zero plus zero, you do the math
Welcome baby to the poorhouse
What holds up these walls?
When the water gets in
We'll bail it out
Still be holding you up
When it falls
Smiles don't pay the bills
Tears don't pay the rent
What to do for thrills
When the money's been a long time spent
You're stuck with me
Not worth a dime
We'll have a hell of a time
While we're living in the poorhouse
You're working so hard
To take us to easy street
Maybe it's not in the cards
But this thing we got
It sure is sweet - Track Name: Sis

You were the little girl with the edgy voice, a streak of red
Beat all the boys,
They had to run,
Had no choice or you would get them all in the end.
My hero on the stairs, a punch on the bus.
You mess with one you get both of us
How can such grace be so tough?
Your slender shoulders with a weight to bear.
Back and forth and round and round we go
Quick to a fight, that's just how it goes.
But when I'm bruised you're the one I call
I know you'll be there when the tears start to fall.
Why'd you have to go?
Leave me all alone, walking down this old and dirty country road.
You went and left us all behind.
Trapped inside this county line.
Now I'm stumbling on my own down this country road.
I passed a note under the door with no response.
You're not there anymore.
I've talked to your photo more than once
Your endless eyes and your burning hair.
Easy to look back, harder to say goodbye
No fault, no blame, it was just time.
Look at us now.
Like once before, miles between us.
Like back then you're mine, I'm yours.
