Album: The East Bay Sessions

Nervous In The Alley

She's 15 and she's leaving home
Living on the streets where she don't feel alone
Daddy's always gone and mommy's on the sauce
Living in a mansion it's easy to get lost
She's going to a place where they understand
Baby's on the way her womb's a garbage can
Who said anything about a good life
This one's bad bad bad bad
Gonzo again - just another entry to the neverending story
Wasted again - I think you need a new best friend
Nervous in the alley off the boulevard
Shaking all over and the panic starts
You see she needs to get her prescription filled
And she knows exactly how she'll be billed
Nervous in the alley waiting for a fix
She ain't got no money just a couple of tricks
Who said anything about a charmed life
This one's sad sad sad sad
Gonzo again - just another entry to the neverending story
Wasted again - I think you need a new best friend
Who said anything about a good life
Who said anything about a charmed life
Who said anything about a fair life
It's mad
Dying in the alley waiting for her man
Carrying her child and a sleeping bag
Should have would have could have never crossed her mind
So she passes on to the other side
Here he comes suit shades car and a beeper
Sugar daddy pimp pushing fucking grim reaper

Who said anything about a fair life
This one's mad mad mad mad
Gonzo again - just another entry to the neverending story
Wasted again - I think you need a new friend
Gonzo again - just another entry to the neverending story
Wasted again - she's got herself a new best friend


BEER GOGGLES
I don't love you but I want to
Just give me something I can hold on to
Come on baby and speed your lust to me
Here's my number on a cocktail napkin
Think about it like a loaded weapon
Cock the hammer and point that thing at me

Why don't you call
Why don't you call
Why don't you call
Kill me for the thrill of it all

I want someone anyone
Tall ones short ones skinny ones
I want someone anyone
You spend your nights at home crying
I spend mine death defying
I call it testing morality
So pull the goggles down over your eyes
And say good night to the rest of the barflies
I'm forever yours temporarily

Why don't you call
Why don't you call
Why don't you call
Kill me for the thrill of it all

I want someone anyone
Drunk ones spun ones anyone
I want someone anyone
Fat ones whacked ones give me some
I want someone anyone
Spend some rent one lend me one
Fun ones dumb ones gypsy chicks on rocks
Done ones even chicks with chicken pox

I want someone anyone
I want someone anyone
I want someone anyone
I want someone anyone
Drunk ones spun ones give me some
I want someone anyone
Fat ones whacked ones anyone
I want someone anyone


IF YOU DON'T
If you don't wanna be
Like all the rest of them
Like all my so called friends
Walk with me, stand by me
Take what you want from me
Get what you feel you need
If it means that much to you
Take it please

Chorus:
If you don't come if you don't go
If you think theres something I should know
You can come and share your misery with me
Yeah with me

Why don't you understand
That my hearts lying in your hands
You squeeze and bleed me dry
I try to live you want me to die
If it means that much to you
If you think theres something I should do
Take what you want from me
Get what you need take it please

If you don't come if you don't go
If you think theres something I should know
You can come and share your misery with me
Yeah with me

If you don't come if you don't go
If you think theres something I should know
You can come and share your misery with me
Yeah with me

If you don't come if you don't go
If you think theres something I should know
You can come and share your misery with me
Yeah with me
