THE RAWN SIDE OF TOWN - Lyrics

THE RAWN SIDE OF TOWN

One Chance

Well there's no slackin'

No stone left unturned

No more maskin' every demon must be burned

There's nothing left to hide behind

Every gremlin must be faced to obtain from what I've yearned

You gotta give it all to God in the face of the Devil

This is what I've learned

Well gotta keep movin' and be able to be still

Go right through it feel the void you wanna fill

No room for fear of failure, or allowance of self doubt

This truth gives me a chill

(Gotta get there, gon' get there)

And it takes everything I got to hang on

To letting go of chasing the thrill

(Gotta get there, gon' get there)

'Cause I got one chance to make it

Seems like evrything before was leading too today

Yeah I've got one chance to make it

And I'll be damned if I stand in my own way again

How did I used to do it?

Guess I didn't that's why I'm here

I used to live in a constant state of fear

To be conscious takes so much work

And I just can't go backwards

Objects in the mirror, closer than they appear

My hero and my enemy, they never disappear

Oh no

Cause I got one chance to make it

Seems like evrything before was leading too today

Yeah I've got one chance to make it

And I'll be damned if I stand in my own way again

One chance to make it

Seems like evrything before was leading too today

Yeah I've got one chance to make it

And I'll be damned if I stand in my own way again

Evil

My old friend, the Devil

He's-a-lookin' for you

He Knows the things you've said, well honey they're not true

(No they're not true)

I told him, the rebel

He's-a-comin' down the bend

He knows a favour his soul that he could lend

And he said, do you know the man I'm lookin' for?

He's got the looks that cures an eye thats sore

And when he's gone you'll be left with nothin'

But the craving for more

Oh, evil is a thing that I know

Evil doesn't warm it stays cold

Evil is a thing that ain't born

It's made, so honey be careful with your soul

That girl next door, do you know her?

She's got the blonde hair and striking blue eyes

She claims the innocence but he knows it's all a lie

(It's all a lie)

They say she's a whore, they say she flirts

With all the taken guys

But all she wants is the fame

Yeah all she wants is to be recognized

And she said, do you know the man I'm looking for?

He's got the keys to open all my doors

I'd rather be in hell than be living with this demise

Oh, evil is a thing that I know

Evil doesn't warm it stays cold

Evil is a thing that ain't born

It's made, so honey be careful with your soul

Oh, what will you do now?

Oh, get down and bow

You should've listened to the warning bells

You never should've gave your soul to sell

'Cause now your life's over, you're going to hell

Oh, evil is a thing that I know

Evil doesn't warm it stays cold

Evil is a thing that ain't born

It's made, so honey be careful with your soul

Evil is a thing that I know

Evil doesn't warm it stays cold

Evil is a thing that ain't born

It's made, so honey be careful with your soul

Braindead

You make me second guess myself

Knock all my books down off the shelf

Oh before I could keep my cool, make 'em drool

Was a heartless motherfucker

But now you got me all flustered

I used to be able to dance

But now you've got me missin' steps

And when I look at you, you're so cute

And you got me all flustered you sexy mother-

I like the way you make me braindead

Make me so dizzy I feel wasted

I can't think straight and I can't shake it off

I like the way you make me braindead

I used to have my shit together

Rain or shine or any weather

But now you've got me all confused

I might lose in this game for two

'Cause you got me fallin' for ya

It scares me when I feel this way

But you know danger feels amazing

Your love's like living on the edge

When you said: "come with me, give me your hand"

We don't know where we gonna land

I like the way you make me braindead

Make me so dizzy I feel wasted

I can't think straight and I can't shake it off

I like the way you make me braindead

Oooo just when I think they've perched on landing

Oooo they flutter and start swarming

The butterflies so excited inside of me

I used to be able to breathe

But I'm seeing stars when you're with me

Oh I used to be so smooth, make 'em woo

Was cool, calm and collected

But now you've got me all breathless

I walk my walk and I talk my talk

But now you got me chokin' up

I always know just what to say

Do my thing, was a confident lady

But now you got me goin' crazy bout ya

I like the way you make me braindead

Make me so dizzy I feel wasted

I can't think straight and I can't shake it off

I like the way you make me braindead

I'm feeling fuzzy I can't fake it

Oh wow nice shirt, okay now take it off

I like the way you make me, I like the way you make me

I like the way you make me braindead

Old Country Jam

He sits at the top in his throne way up high

King of sand, Prince of dust, lives a comfortable life

Still he feels something's missing

He feels empty inside

He don't understand why he's down and he can't see the light

But from down here in the city

In all the noise and the light

You know what might be pretty

If you would, and you could

Meet me in the middle

Would just give a little

'Cause I think it's time that your world and mine

Be like an Old Country Jam

She wakes up, hits the road again looking for a better life

Queen of mud, Princess of dirt, she knows how to survive

But to live, that's the dream she hold inside

One step forward, two steps back, she continues the climb

But from up there in the country

In all the quiet, and the time

It might sound a little bit funny

But you could, and you should

Meet me in the middle

Would just give a little

'Cause I think it's time that your world and mine

Be like an Old Country Jam

I said Meet me in the middle

Would just give a little

'Cause I think it's time that your world and mine

Be like an Old Country Jam

Be like an Old Country Jam

Be like an Old Country Jam

Big Black Bruise

(Staring up at the moon

How did I get so blue?)

Tales as old as time tell us how love is full of lies

And how boys with pretty eyes will say just what's on your mind

Just to reincarnate into words that are full of hate

Tell me why do you say that you want me to stay?

And careful girl with the fragile glass heart

Soon enough you'll be ripped apart

I thought I'd give you a fair warning

That with Love there is no fair winning

And they say love's a game for two

That you only play if you wanna lose

And be left with loosened screws

And nobody left, just a big black bruise

I love whiskey and gin almost as much as I loved him

But it left me with sorrow when all I had left was the bottle

And careful girl with the fragile glass heart

Soon enough you'll be ripped apart

No one gave me a fair warning

That with love there is no fair winning

And they say love's a game for two

That you only play if you wanna lose

And be left with loosened screws

And nobody left, just a big black bruise

And you're staring up at the moon

Wondering how you got this blue

And you're left with no screws

Nothing left, just a big black bruise

(I gotta, you gotta, we gotta)

Just a Big Black Bruise

(I gotta, you gotta, we gotta)

Just a Big Black Bruise

I See

I've been trapped in the desert

Escaped the waves out at sea

Up the windiest roads, 'round the worlds tallest tree

On an endless highway

Anticipating to find something

But there's no greater torture than the one in my mind

But little did you know

Little old me

Under this armour I've developed something you just dont see

I see through your flattery

Your love bombing tone

You're here to save me 'cause you feel all alone

But I see you, I see you, I see

You're like a wild animal

Lack basic empathy

Only a starving instinct to feed

I see your ego, I see that part deep inside

That won't even admit what they think they hide

But little did you know

Little old me

Under this armour I've developed something you just dont see

I see through your flattery

Your love bombing tone

You're here to save me 'cause you feel all alone

But I see you, I see you, I see

I am a warrior, many battles overcome

I'm ruled by the moon and I worship the sun

I bare and protect a collection of scars

But mess with my mind and you've gone too far

My soul knows the danger

Devil's alluring weapon

Disguising your hell with the safety of heaven

But I've been trapped in the desert

Escaped the waves out at sea

And I see you, I see you, I see

But little did you know

Little old me

Under this armour I've developed something you just dont see

I see through your flattery

Your love bombing tone

You're here to save me 'cause you feel all alone

But I see you, I see you, I see

Yeah I see you, I see you

I See

What I'm Looking For

It came without a warning on a Tuesday night

You called me out of nowhere asking if I might

Have something that you're looking for

Said you could be over 'bout half past four in the night

I could not put up a fight

But you know I gotta know if you baby do ya

Have what I'm looking for

You gotta

Have what I'm looking for

I ain't tryna waste my time

Time is such a precious dime

Have what I'm looking for

You gotta

Have what I'm looking for

You talkin' kinda dirty you know I dont mind

You gettin' kinda flirty can you read my eyes?

Boy you gotta sell me what you're thinkin'

Dont just tell me, gotta

Have what I'm looking for

You gotta

Have what I'm looking for

I ain't tryna waste my time

Time is such a precious dime

Have what I'm looking for

You gotta

Have what I'm looking for

And I gotta know how you're feeling

And I gotta go if you're not feeling it baby

You gotta

Have what I'm looking for

You gotta

Have what I'm looking for

I ain't tryna waste my time

Time is such a precious dime

I ain't tryna waste my time

If this is only for one night

Have what I'm looking for

You gotta

Have what I'm looking for

Captain

Sittin' by the window no cars goin' by

Try to gain my composure with tears in my eyes

Well I know it's coming but how long can I wait?

Been through every initiation but you're still testing my faith

My mind is so busy, wish that I could let go

Surrender to the flow just have faith that you know

I did what you told me, I took back control

Of what little I can take myself, and my soul

'Cause I can't break down

They are the reasons why I hold my ground

They're the stars in my sky, they're the jewels in my crown

No I won't let them see me drown

As long as I'm Captain, this ship won't go down

The waves just keep crashing there's no land in sight

I gave you the helm but I still have to fight

I try to believe if I follow North light

That you'll lead us home

Cause I can't break down

They are the reasons why I hold my ground

They're the stars in my sky, they're the jewels in my crown

No I won't let them see me drown

No I won't break down

They are the reasons why I hold my ground

They're the stars in my sky, they're the jewels in my crown

No I won't let them see me drown

As long as I'm Captain, this ship won't go down

Anger Issues

Oh hey, it's been a while

You used to always come and make me smile

I forgot about that problem that I always had

Oh hey, do you like me now?

I've got a fat lip and I don't know how it happened

It just kinda happened but you should see the other guy

It's been a while since I felt this way

It's been some time since I felt this rage

I ain't sad, no sir, I'm mad

Whatcha gotta say?

If you come and take a walk in my boots

You would see my red point of view

Ain't it fun? This what I used to do

No need for guns when you got anger issues

I'm lettin' myself unleash

I'm tired of tryna tame this beast

If you got a problem with me

Ain't a problem in the least

It's been a while since I had a taste

Of this cold dish you call rage

My demons are tired of being locked up in a cage

If you come and take a walk in my boots

You would see my red point of view

Ain't it fun? This what I used to do

No need for guns when you got anger issues

Just a little bit, wish I could chill a bit

Just a little bit of help from somewhere

Just a little bit, wish I could chill a bit

Just a little bit of help from somewhere

Breathe deep and meditation

Can only do so much

I pushed away all my confrontations

But now I've had enough

If you come and take a walk in my boots

You would see my red point of view

Ain't it fun? This what I used to do

No need for guns when you got

No need for guns when you got anger issues

Not The Same

I'm sorry I never fit inside your little box

I'm sorry I don't wanna relive my childhood trauma everytime we talk

I'm sorry that your limiting beliefs

Wanna keep me in my 12 year old body but they won't

Sorry, not sorry

I'm sorry I never believed in myself 'cause you won't

Always assume the worst in me

Bring light to all insecurities

If you knew me you'd have faith but you don't

I'm sorry can't have this toxicity affecting my peace

To you it's unknown

Sorry, not sorry

But don't you dare ever tell my kids they need something to fall back on

People should follow their bliss not worry 'bout who's gonna turn their back on

Life's not just about money

Your jokes just not funny

And you ain't above me just 'cause you've never understood my pain

So keep all your judgement

'Cause we are not the same

(Ooooo)

I'm sorry I'm not conditioned to live your way

I'm sorry you know what's best for every body else

But can't even look at yourself to change

I'm sorry I'm not stuck on the same grudges all my life

Sorry I heal and grow every day

Sorry, not sorry

But don't you dare ever tell my kids they need something to fall back on

People should follow their bliss not worry 'bout who's gonna turn their back on

Life's not just about money

Your jokes just not funny

And you ain't above me just 'cause you've never understood my pain

So keep all your judgement

'Cause we are not the same

Fire

Wakin', shakin', and you're all alone man

Playin', games and, gettin' stoned man

Satan, would be breakin', if he saw his clone man

Wakin', shakin', and you're all alone man

Fucked up on your love drug

Just take me home man

Codeine and a low fiend

You're a fuckin snowman

You're cold like the winter

In my soul you left a big fuckin' splinter

You're low like the bottom of the ocean

But I'm free like a bird so I'll give you my word

You won't find me where water's frozen

'Cause I am the fire

Watch me burn

I am the fire, can't put me out

Can't get away, who's laughin' now?

Didn't your mama ever make you learn?

Boys who play with fire

They get their fingers burned

Walkin', talkin', I'm doin' my own thing boy

Stop it, flauntin', you should know I always win boy

Whiskey on my breath, got another man on my chest

You were too late and you were too fake

Good luck catchin' your breath

Fucked up on my love drug, oh please go home man

You're doing cocaine, I'm just smoking

You fuckin' snowman

You're cold like the winter

In my soul you left a big fuckin' splinter

You're low like the bottom of the ocean

But I'm free like a bird so I'll give you my word

You won't find me where water's frozen

'Cause I am the fire

Watch me burn

I am the fire, can't put me out

Can't get away, who's laughin' now?

Didn't your mama ever make you learn?

Boys who play with fire

They get their fingers burned

Guitar!

Oh I am the fire, can't put me out

Can't get away, who's laughin' now?

Didn't your mama ever make you learn?

Boys who play with fire

They get their fingers burned

Strap On Your Boots

Boy, around here it's not like other places oh

We can smell your fear and we're rippin' out your braces don't

Waste your time on tears, just drink 'em and get wasted oh

Where I'm from

Cigarettes and broken smiles, you can tell it's been a while

Since we weren't up by half a mile, around here it gets pretty wild

Takin' back our sanity, Mcguiver like the 70's oh

Where I'm from

So take off your shoes and dance in the rain

Howl at the moon and outsmoke the pain

No one will ever, ever break us down

So strap on your boots

You're on the fuckin Rawn side of town

Girl 'round here it ain't about the coolers

We got whiskey, smokes, and beer oh

That fruity shit's for losers

We started this hill, if you come for it we're bruisers oh

Where I'm from

Cigarettes and empty bottles

Life won't stop pushin' the throttle

Survived the nightmare, still keep dreamin'

Won't back down, faced with our demons

You could try to set us free but we did that last century oh

Where I'm from

So take off your shoes and dance in the rain

Howl at the moon and outsmoke the pain

No one will ever, ever break us down

So strap on your boots

You're on the fuckin Rawn side of town

We all got battle scars, we all got shit sinkin' down our heart

Tell me have you ever worked this hard to keep your inner peace?

Yes my name is Jo, but no I am not your average Jo

I like whiskey, I like dope, I'll bet you dough

You ain't ever met a girl like me

So take off your shoes and dance in the rain

Howl at the moon and outsmoke the pain

No one will ever, ever break us down

So strap on your boots

You're on the fuckin Rawn side of town

So take off your shoes and dance in the rain

Howl at the moon and outsmoke the pain

No one will ever, ever break us down

So strap on your boots

You're on the fuckin Rawn side of town

Yeehaw
