Instant Gratification
I’ve been looking down and all around
I can find it anywhere in town
I can’t wait to find a girl who knows
Right from wrong and moves from to and fro
Instant gratification Instant gratification
When I find her
You know what I’ll ask
Is it alright and can I make it last
Try to make it best you ever had
Try to fake it best I ever have
Instant gratification Instant gratification
And the colors spun around
all I heard was deafening sound
Kaleidoscopes filled my mind and I was
Enlightened for the very first time
Instant gratification Instant gratification
Now I foound her time to settle down
Take it easy she knows that I’m down
Life’s to short you have to have a friend
Someone who loves you
To the Very end
Instant gratification Instant gratification
And the colors spun around
And all I heard was deafening sound
Kaleidoscopes filled my mind and I was
Enlightened for the very first time
The Lemon Song
Lemon In the water makes it taste better
A junkies mind is always on the turn of the weather
This tobacco that were smoking is making me light as a feather
I love it when she wears that fucking tight sweater
To the end of the line
That’s where I want to go
Where no one knows but you and I
The smell of springtime makes my heart skip a beat
You know I start wondering when my feet hit the street
The buzz of life has got me I better take a seat
Staring at the toes on the end of your feet
To the end of the line
That’s where I want to go
Where no one knows but you and I
Punch Me in the Eye
I don’t even know what time it was Don’t even know what day it is
don’t even know but I’m trying to find out why
Punch me in the eye
I feel like I’m going to die
I get in my car to get here I get in my car to get there
I’m driving in circles just to try and get by
Punch me in the eye
I feel like I’m going to die
Well I should have known better and I should know best to
take a little time and hang out with all my guests
Take a little time and live out among the west
Life is a short little journey Life is a strange little trip
There’s barely enough time to think what the hell’s it all about
Punch me in the eye
I feel like I’m going to die
It’ll all be over soon it’ll all be over when
And Then we can finally sit back and take it all in
Punch me in the eye
I feel like I’m going to die
Well I should have known better and I should know best to
take a little time and hang out with all my guests
Take a little time and live out among the west
And I...
And I , want to get you to take your shoes off
And I , want to get you to take your shoes off
Yeah, you know what’s happen next
A little S E X yeah yeah sex sex, A little S E X yeah yeah sex sex
Hell yes Hell yes, goddamn Hell yes Hell yes, goddamn
And I, I’ll take my chances again
And I, I’ll take my chances again
You know I might loose, you know I might win
If I don’t do it now, you know it’d be a sin
Hell yes Hell yes, goddamn Hell yes Hell yes, goddamn
And I , cant stick around here for long
And I , won’t be around here for long
Somebody better point me the direction home
I’m heading out fast I’m heading out quick goddamn lickady split
Hell yes Hell yes, goddamn Hell yes Hell yes, goddamn
Moving On
I’m moving on past this race
I’m passing by your place
You gotta thing about why your living here
You gotta think about what your leaving here
Hey yeah you yeah you man

All this jealousy and hate because of greed’s got to stop
All this jealousy and hate because of greed’s got to stop

You gotta think about what your leaving here
