Hoping (for the end of the world) DEMO

Lyrics:

My honey baby, she pulls me tight
said she's got the hunger now now, but she can't decide...
Maybe some Italian, a 10-inch supreme?
Let's go south of the border baby and add a little heat....

I could tell right then and there she'd lost control,
she's gotta have it all...

She tries a little curry, she can spice the meat,
She'll go french in a hurry, if she can dip the beef,
This buffet's open, yeah it's all for sale,
I recommend the T-bone baby, all raw as hell...

PreChorus

Tell me what you want.
Tell me what you want.

She want Chinese? Well I can walk the wok
She want the Angus Beef? I'll shake her all night long,
This buffet's open, it's all you can eat...
I know you're thirsty baby, I got what you need...

Pre Chorus
Chorus

I'll serve ya coffee, I'll make ya tea,
all I want is for you just to come home to me
I said now, oh, well I just can't get out the door
Cause there's a man down there,
might be your man, well I don't know...

Tell me what you want.

Fun Guns - Whatcha Want (Funk Song)

Come get your heaven, your new soul-adjustment,
Weekly, cheaply.
Come get salvation, a heart calibration,
the real thing you're missing.

Time won't spare you, I'll prepare you,
I will care for you... for a small fee...

Maybe when you see that red right hand,
Maybe when you see the man behind the myth,
Only when you know your God for what it is
can you ever truly land that kiss.

Come clear you chakra, update you mantra,
with ancient patience.
Get your chi measured, find all three treasures,
and true peace, no strings.

There's darkness around you, it floods and drowns you,
I'll cast it out for you... for a small fee...

[Chorus]

Maybe when you shake off all that sand,
Maybe when you watch him break his own command,
Only when you know your God for what it is
can you ever truly land that kiss.

I didn’t even know myself back when you got to know me.
I was trying on so many skins, and I shed em just like clothing.
And I knew you wanted love when you swore you wanted something easy.
And I knew you’d stick around while I burned us to the ground just for the feeling…
 
I’m glad you got away, I just wish that I could change it…

I’ve been staying in and living well, doin all I can to fix myself.             
You were right, I needed help.  I know it’s too late, and I can’t stand it…
This must be how that river felt... 
finally went straight, and they still dammed it.

I know there’s nothing more to do, you closed that door behind you.
But I give a little kindness every day, hoping it’ll find you.
I hated myself and I put you through hell because you loved me…
I guess that’s how it works when all you want to feel is hurt and loathing.

I’m glad you got away, I just wish you’d never been there.

I’ve been staying in and living well, doin all I can to fix myself.  
You were right, I needed help.  I wrecked it all, and can’t rebuild it,
This must be how that old oak felt… finally stood tall, and they still felled it.

I’ve been staying in and living well, doin all I can to fix myself,
and I don’t want anybody else.
It won’t change, and I can’t stand it.  This must be how you always felt…

The River and Oak

You were a wildfire, chewing up the hillside.  
You were a livewire, dancing under street light,
and you took, took, what you wanted.  
Left us broke, broke, brokenhearted.

You were a 35-44 running in the night, 
and I was on your heels every time you took flight.
Cause I was broke, broke, brokenhearted, 
and I swore to stop, stop, what you started.

It’s blood and water.  It’s blood and water, but we’re at the alter…

I don’t hate you brother, but I don’t forgive you either.
I’ll burn this whole tree to the ground just to smoke you out.
I don’t love you brother, but I can’t let you die.
I’ll dive in 1,000 times before I’ll let you drown.                    
Can you hear me brother?

You were a lost cause tearin at the seams.  
I was always pull thread, by needle or teeth.
You had heart, heart, heartless charm 
and I was torn, torn, torn apart and…

It’s blood and water.  It’s blood and water, but we’re at the alter…

[chorus]

Left us broke, broke, brokenhearted. (4x)

I don’t know you brother, and I don’t miss you either,
But I’ll fix this bridge 1,000 times before I’ll watch it burn out….

[chorus]

Brothers

Friday night and she’s waited all week, 
she’s got the hair, the lips, the eyes just right, 
the little dress all pressed, gonna drive em wild. 
Pulling up she can already picture, She’ll catch his eye, 
he’ll bite, they’ll dance all night, 
the start of something good for once in her life. 

Well I don’t wanna bring ya down, but take a look around.... 

Honey you’re looking in the wrong place, 
there ain’t no white knights here in this bar, 
got your heels out for Neil, well I’m sorry but sweetheart... 
Maybe, you’re going about the wrong way?  
There ain’t no gentlemen loose around these parts. 
You got pearls on for Earl, and I’m sorry but sweetheart 
You’re dreamin about champagne and getting drunk on PBR. 

Up to the bar, but it’s nothing but ol' boys, 
a row of plaid, and hats, and skoal-tanned smiles, 
somebody says, “Baby, you’re ten kinds of fine.” (and he don’t mind)
Out on the floor, it’s a sea of hair gel.  
Trashy shirts, and jeans, and tats abide. 
She’s eyeing the door, praying he’s just outside... 

I don’t wanna bring ya down, but take a look around... 

Honey you’re looking in the wrong place, 
there ain’t no white knights here in this bar, 
got your legs out for Greg, and I’m sorry but sweetheart... 
Maybe, you’re going about the wrong way?  
There ain’t no gentlemen loose around these parts. 
You got nails done for Dale, I’m sorry but sweetheart 
You’re dreaming about Champagne and getting drunk on PBR... 

{guitar stuff} 

Honey you’re looking in the wrong place, 
there ain’t no white knights here in this bar, 
You got the girls out for Early, and I’m sorry but sweetheart... 

Maybe, you’re going about the wrong way? 
there ain’t no gentlemen loose around these parts. 
You've got your nails done for Dale, and I'm sorry but sweetheart.. 

You're dreaming about champagne and getting drunk on PBR.

Champagne PBR

I feel like a whore who got talked into salary, 
the overtime’s unpaid and I’m surrounded by dicks.
“Ya need a vacation, here’s 5 days a year, 
go ahead and take em’ if you don’t plan on getting sick.”
And I say, “Okay!  That’s alright.  
Maybe I’ll see Destin on the 4th of July.”
But at 5 on the 3rd I hear, “Don’t know if you heard, 
but your replacement just died on the line…”   Maybe next time.

Let’s have a party, 8 long sunny 
days on the water invite all our friends.
We’ll drink til we’re lovers, eat til we’re sober, 
and smoke like we used to way way back when…
I just need ya to throw me over before it ends.

I’m a big ticket winner in this American Dream, 
I’ll be a millionaire no later than 2103.
So I gotta stay healthy, yeah I gotta have medical, 
it’s only 300 a check if you swear to avoid hospitals.
“Okay!  Hey, that’s alright.  I’ll be shoppin for castles in 2105.”
Then the pensions are dry, and the plants off to Mexico, 
and the executives feel awful... but they’re gonna have to let ya go.

[chorus]

So let’s have a party, call everybody, 
a bender to mend these 9-5 blues,
We’ll drink til we’re lovers, eat til we’re sober, 
and roll up a (sticky?) hog leg or two...

[chorus]

Before It Ends

He was miles into nowhere, no end in sight.
Haulin a ton of nothing for nickels and dimes.
Out there in the darkness, a little neon light
said, “Pull on over honey, pour more red in your eyes.”
He needed a fire, he needed a song,
“Give me some poison, I don’t have long.”
She tipped a bottle, flashed him a smile,
said, “I got something for ya if you wanna feel alive…

There’s drugs and guns in the blood and dust a mile east of 59,
and a bag of bills buried in the hills, a mile east of 59. 
Don’t you wanna feel alive?

It’s easy, easy money.  It’s easy, easy money.

He took another whiskey, took her by the hand,
“If I’m goin, you’re goin with me, and we ain’t comin back again.”
Out there in the darkness, just east of 59,
he’s sweatin over a shovel, “We have got to beat that light!”
That’s when it hit him, it echoed through the night, 
It burned right through his belly and he was bleeding from his side
She knelt over his body, took his wallet and his keys,
said, “I’m so sorry baby, this is how it’s gotta be..”

There’s drugs and guns in the blood and dust a mile east of 59,
and a lonely man, dying in the sand, a mile east of 59. 
… just trying to feel alive.

It’s easy, easy money.  It’s easy, easy money.

Easy Money

What if we had known, that night
that we were going home together?
That I would make you laugh for that last time,
and you would wave goodbye forever?

Could we have done much more in hindsight?
Would anything have changed for better?
I'd have shared that cigarette outside,
and said a little less about the weather.

It always feels like my heart
and my head take turns behind the wheel.
What I feel I can't understand,
and what I know I just can't seem to feel...

And I'm lost in the aisle,
somewhere between where nothing means anything...
And it feels like revival, and I'm chewing my cheek
just to keep from screaming for you.
'Cause what would it do, if I went calling for you?
What would it prove?

Another broken bone, misset,
that everyone notices you favor.
But every now and then you forget
and it almost starts to feel better.
But do you really feel better?

Or is it denial,
or that place between where you repeat it until you believe,
and call it survival, and bend your truth until it covers you?

It always feels like my heart
and my head take turns behind the wheel.
What I feel I can't understand,
and what I know I just can't seem to feel...

And I'm lost in the aisle,
somewhere between where nothing means anything...
And it feels like revival, and I'm chewing my cheek
just to keep from screaming for you.
'Cause what would it do, if I went calling for you?
What would it prove?

I'll say it now, before it's over
I'll tell you now, before it's over
I love you now, and when it's over
I'll live without, until it happens again.
