Hitman 01:35
I hung up the gloves once I Told you I loved you I called up my exes I told them the same Take out two bottles of gin and vermouth I fold up my note after signing my name Tuck it into my pocket and twist off the caps I'll blackout one last time tonight Visions of ringside Doc asking "you alright? Kid you don't have to go out there and fight Again" Rush to the bathroom I'm spewing and heaving And tearing the note As it falls on the floor And I'm dreaming Of you

Once more under the bridge Dear friends I can't hold out much longer I can't say what or I can't say when This feeling will come again It wells up And pulls me down Drags me out Kicks me around But it's better than nothing than being underground Once more I see you at night dear friend and ask you how I'm doing I scream until my voice goes hoarse And still you don't reply Have I done enough in life? Will I do enough in death? Is it better than nothing than being underground?

Heard your song on a radio The one you wrote about me you know The one you grew to hate I gave you all of my money once Now haven't seen you in seven months You're an itch I need to scratch And I want you To come back home again And I want you To fucking deal me in again heard you were selling coke in Oklahoma While I was fighting in Arizona I really coulda used you I gave you all of my money once Now haven't seen you in seven months You're an itch I need to scratch

Driving through the rains in summer "Rashomon sure was a bummer" "Not like we know anything else" Hooking up the quarter inch Pull the volume down a cinch Play a song you know I'll wanna belt And it plays: And will you tell all you friends Youve got your gun to my head This song was all I ever loved once This song Alone again and what's the use I'll never love and that's the truth I'll never find someone who gets me through Did I ever love a single thing A harpsichord or minor things A game a man a drink or something else

You're going nowhere running up and down the stairs Your weezer t shirt your golden hair When was the last time We watched a movie When was the last time I thought you cared It's over and over and over "Go get some help" It's over and over and over "I don't want help" When was the last day I didn't cry? When was the last day you didn't have to ask why? So I'll kiss you goodnight One last time So I'll kiss you good night One last time

Dealer 01:57
Tried to drive a thousand miles To wipe you from my memory And I could have my face beat in To forget the sight of you I'll pop a hundred million pills And wash away the truth But I cannot get rid of you Or the shit you always do OoOOOoo I want you to know I've been thinking about you I changed my number Blocked you out Thought of all the ways I could I had my living lights beat out Went 12 thought I did good I came back to and called him you A bloody mess I stood I didn't need to shoot up anyway. Heeey I didn't need to buy from you anyway

Couldn't anybody out there listening Hear the words I say? I'm a stand up guy with a mellow smile And a temper swelled with bile Do you have anything in the back room for me? One syrette is all I need To get me through the day Hold my puffed up smile For all in Beverley hills LA Can you hear the voices they call to me at night? Cover the ventilator make sure, nurse, it's airtight "I promise Lou this will be my last hit and then I'm done for good I told my baby I'm off this stuff Our deal is understood" "But maybe just one more" "no I am an American hero"
