Track Name: Never Come Down
Thankless left in way of harm
I wanna see your handwriting
Soiled bed sheets safe and warm
I wanna share your backlighting

Unseen boundaries slip from sight
I wanna feed you spermicide
Self-esteem rots, leaves a blight
I wanna breathe formaldehyde

And I will never come down
I will never come down

Lonely ships will toss through seas
I wanna tie you to a post
Anger keeps men on their knees
I wanna know who loves me most

Violence strips me of my thoughts
I wanna have my skin torn off
Tighten up those straps you bought
I wanna feel you call my bluff

And I will never come down
I will never come down
Track Name: The Emerald Queen
I've never been good at social interaction
And that's become more obvious this year
Occasionally I'm taunted by feelings I have traction
And I think maybe I can turn this around here
But then I see

Joan Jett at the Emerald Queen
Coming this July
Joan Jett at the Emerald Queen
Where rock stars go to die

I've never been good at withholding my acidity
And that's become more obvious this year
Occasionally I'm taunted by feelings of lucidity
And I think maybe I can turn this around here
But then I see

Styx at the Emerald Queen
Coming this July
Styx at the Emerald Queen
Where rock stars go to die

I've never been good at fitting in for long
And that's become more obvious this year
Occasionally I'm taunted by feelings I belong
And I think maybe I can turn this around here
But then I see

Blue Öyster Cult at the Emerald Queen
Coming this July
Blue Öyster Cult at the Emerald Queen
Where rock stars go to die

I've never been good at lifting myself up
And that's become more obvious this year
Every time I fall, fewer friends show up
And I think maybe I should settle for here
But then I see

Meatloaf at the Emerald Queen
Coming this July
Meatloaf at the Emerald Queen
Where rock stars go to die
Guess I'll just soldier forward
'Cause there's no shot that I won't
Whenever I think things will change
They don't

Michael Bolton at the Emerald Queen
Coming this July
Michael Bolton at the Emerald Queen
Where rock stars go to die
Michael Bolton at the Emerald Queen
Coming this July
Michael Bolton at the Emerald Queen
With special guest Air Supply
Track Name: House of Dead Musicians
Haven't seen Elliott since I went to take a shower
Haven't seen Nick since he went to bed last night
Haven't seen Phil since he took a chair into the bathroom
But somehow I hope everything's alright

There's nothing anyone can say
There's nothing anyone can do
There's nothing here for anyone but you

I haven't seen Paul since he went to take a bath
I haven't seen Jeff since he went out for a swim
Haven't seen Sid since he posted bail
But I'm pretty sure no one needs to check on him

There's nothing anyone can say
There's nothing anyone can do
There's nothing here for anyone but you

There's nothing anyone can do
There's nothing anyone can say
There's nothing here for anyone anyway
Track Name: Song for Jay
I left some messages
In Morse code for you to find
Maybe if you pay attention
My life won't be wasted time
I've been following you
Everywhere you go
I've been watching everything
Just thought you might like to know

Tell us all your secrets
We will wait for you no more
Smile for the camera
And open all the doors

I think we're both aware
That neither of us is safe
Why else would I wear this mask
and why would you keep tapes?
We've been losing memories
And coughing up blood
But just running away
Won't do us any good

Tell us all your secrets
We will wait for you no more
Smile for the camera
And open all the doors

He's gonna find you
And so am I
He's gonna find you
And so am I

Found you
Forever
Found you
Forever
Track Name: Down and Out Friend Song
I don't feel too good, good buddy
Can I spend the night?
I know this visit's unexpected
I hope that that's alright

Recall when I was kinda happy
And you were kinda sad
I was always right there with you
Through the good and bad
I know my bad mood has overstayed it's welcome
But I promise I will make it up to you

I don't feel too good, good buddy
Can I just crash here?
I'm losing control of the car
I need someone else to steer

Recall when I was kinda happy
And you were kinda sad
I was always right there with you
Through the good and bad
I know my bad mood has overstayed it's welcome
But I promise I will make it up to you

I don't feel too good, good buddy
I don't feel too good
Track Name: Cipher
Phone rings, I hope it isn't you
I check the caller ID
I don't have a spare half hour
To listen to how mad you are at me

I know I never call
I wish you didn't either
You communicate in code
I can't break the cipher

Phone rings, still I won't pick up
Who calls the landline anyway?
I know you're trying to reach out
But there's still so much you don't let me say

I know I never call
I wish you didn't either
You communicate in code
I can't break the cipher
