House and Home Lyrics by Kay Ashford Music by Wolf, Jinx, and Kay Ashford
What’s a House What’s a Home Wherever you are I am gone Warmth and serenity My state of mind Golden sunshine In a rhyme And by your side Is where I belong
The rest of the world Jingles and jangles But the grass is green And sunshine angles Striking your heart of gold Together we can mold A life that’s only ours
It’s hard And it’s harsh But we are here Making it clear The world is cold and hard But together we’re more than hot Unstoppable Together tied in a knot
The rest of the world Jingles and jangles But the grass is green And sunshine angles Striking your heart of gold Together we can mold A life that’s only ours A life that’s only ours
Alcohol and Cars Lyrics by Kay Ashford and Pierce Lawrence Music by Kay Ashford, Joe Young, and Pierce Lawrence
Pouring gin on my dreams Vodka misery What do I do without you
Fast cars, wet dreams Nothing is as it seems Alcohol -- pour on the fuel Blind destruction -- that’s the rule
I wanna be brilliant I wanna be hot Off the charts Living in my wet dreams
Take me baby It's only you. And maybe Drinking all night long Mustang fast, Shelby Candy apple red, I’m gone…
Fast cars, wet dreams Nothing is as it seems Alcohol -- pour on the fuel Blind destruction -- that’s the rule
Crash and burn Don’t blame me Lost in my mind, drinking Beam Bar stool with my name on it
Ignore ambition, I’m gone Pouring gin on my dreams Vodka misery What do I do without you
Fast cars, wet dreams Nothing is as it seems Alcohol -- pour on the fuel Blind destruction -- that’s the rule
Pine Box Lyrics by Ziggy Music by Midnight Hunt & Bramble Punk Band
You threw my heart in a pine box My love went deep, six feet Can’t claw by way back—nowhere left to dance No drums to beat With me you buried another chance There’s no second chance There’s no second chance
I’ve been running on fumes Running for my life Banging out other people’s tunes Looking for my way back to you but end the end you don’t care In the end you never dared You threw my heart in a pine box My love went deep, six feet Can’t claw by way back—nowhere left to dance No drums to beat With me you buried another chance There’s no second chance There’s no second chance
This hole is dark can’t climb out No matter how hard I bang and shout Once you gave me a lifeline and a song Now you’re giving me nothing but gone
I’m in a pine box I’m six feet deep Can’t claw by way back – no drums to beat I’m in a pine box Pine box
You came to me with offerings A life and more Flowers and verve But you bring only death in a carriage of black Leaving my heart a fatality I’m in a pine box Pine box
Scapegoat Lyrics by Pierce Lawrence Music by Pierce Lawrence, Joe Young, and Kay Ashford
You tried to seize control but you don't rock and roll Don't clown around Don't even start you get dicked down I'm no black heart
You’re keeping us down boot to throat Kicked around your scapegoat
What will it take to stand up What will it take to fight What are we fighting for No more No more
You’re keeping us down boot to throat Kicked around your scapegoat
Burning Me Down Lyrics and Music by Kay Ashford, Joe Young, and Pierce Lawrence
Only the moon I follow Burning me alive And leaving me hollow Nowhere to run Yet I survive Even when I don’t know why
And it’s one more time I didn’t reach for you One more time I thought we were through But we’re still here The fight goes on Even when I’m not that strong
Put out the fire Or let loose the flame I’m hanging on till tomorrow Navigating the game Tired of surviving When everyone else knows why And I don’t know why
And it’s one more time I didn’t reach for you One more time I thought we were through But we’re still here The fight goes on Even when I’m not that strong Even when I’m not that strong
