I remember when this town was young
the roads were empty and a lot more dirt
and I recall us havin lots of fun
wait up for the sunrise just to listen to her

wait for your sins all washed away into the light
don't hang your halos up just for the night

I will 
I will

the creek was empty and the trough was dry
we were thirsty had to stop for the night
I watched her as she took off her clothes
felt the venom burn as the snake did bite

wait for a savior to come to you from outside
I never ever did meet a man by the name of jesus christ

but I will
I will

all the sounds of the wilderness in the absence of the light
taking turns pointing to stars as we camped out for the night

I will 
I will

The Road To Nowhere | Green Lights | Alex Monk

well I could sit around and talk about better days
float my head up around in the cloud of a foggy haze
but by the time a man turns thirty four years old
he better hope he's got somethin more to live for

and I ain't got a whole lot that I complain about 
I got at least one friend that I can think of
and I ain't asking for your pity or commiseration
not out of all of the misery you can think of

oh, gimme a better daze
oh oh oh, better daze

sure I could sit around and talk about better days
float my head up around in the cloud of a foggy haze
oh oh oh 
right about now I could use somethin more to live for
I'm just an ordinary man until you hear me roar

and I ain't got a whole lot that I complain about
and out of all of these fantasies that I dream about
I got at least one friend that I can think of
that's something more for me to live for or dream about

oh, give me a better daze
oh oh oh, better daze

and I ain't got a whole lot that I complain about
and out of all of these fantasies that I dream about

oh, better daze 
oh oh oh, give me a better daze


Better Daze | Green Lights | Alex Monk

HELLO MOTHER MERCY
STOP IT WHEN I SAY UNCLE
ITS AN EMERGENCY
BLEEDING LIKE AN ANIMAL
A CRUSHED MOUSEY
BENEATH A PINK ICICLE
OPEN UP YOUR OUTSIDES
RUNNING IN OF SELF CONTROL
IM SEEING BRIGHT LIGHTS
TELLING ME TO NOT LET GO
COULD BE MY LAST CHANCE
CHECK TO SEE THE PISTOLS 
FULLY FULLY LOADED
HERE WE GO ITS SO SO SO 
SO PAINFUL
FEEL THE PAIN ITS SO PAINFUL
FEEL THE PAIN PAIN PAIN 
ITS SO PAINFUL
FEEL THE PAIN ITS SO PAINFUL
FEEL THE FEEL THE 
PAIN PAIN PAIN

So Painful | Green Lights | Alex Monk

shes on another level than me 
climbing the stairs on her hands and knees a tease 
I am the one thats up and down open heart lost and found
yes I listen and drown at least she glistens for me 

shes got her mind set on the devils tv
flipping the channels twisted mind to see for free
looks in the mirror calls on Bloody Mary
closes the medicine cabinet sipping poison tea

shes got the crack pipe and shes lookin for me
hop on the plane come to the place so pretty please 
I give in once again and I I complain next to none and again 
oh this is every person talking to Bloody Mary
