TRACK 1: VICTORIOUS
I'm like a scarf trick, it's all up the sleeve I taste like magic, waves that swallow quick and deep Throw the bait, catch the shark, bleed the water red Fifty words for murder, and I'm every one of them"
TRACK 2: DONT THREATEN ME WITH A GOOD TIME "I'm a scholar and a gentleman And I usually don't fall when I try to stand I lost a bet to a guy in a Chiffon skirt But I make these high heels work I've told you time and time again I'm not as think as you drunk I am And we all fell down when the sun came up I think we've had enough"
TRACK 3: HALLELUJAH "All you sinners stand up, sing Hallelujah (Hallelujah) Show praise with your body Stand up, sing Hallelujah (Hallelujah) And if you can't stop shaking, lean back Let it move right through ya (Hallelujah) Say your prayers Say your prayers Say your prayers (Hallelujah)"
TRACK 4: EMPEROR'S NEW CLOTHES "Sycophants on velvet sofas Lavish mansions, vintage wine I am so much more than royal Snatch your chain and mace your eyes If it feels good, tastes good It must be mine Heroes always get remembered But you know legends never die
And if you don't know now you know"
TRACK 5: DEATH OF A BACHELOR "I'm cutting my mind off Feels like my heart is going to burst Alone at a table for two and I just want to be served And when you think of me, am I the best you've ever had? Share one more drink with me, Smile even though you're sad I'm walking the long road, watching the sky fall The lace in your dress tingles my neck How do I live?"
TRACK 6: CRAZY = GENIUS "She said at night in my dreams You dance on a tightrope of weird Oh but when you wake up, you're so normal that you just disappear You're so straight like commuters with briefcases towing the line There's no residue of a torturer inside of your eyes"
TRACK 7: LA DEVOTEE "You got two black eyes from loving too hard And your black car that matches your blackest soul I wouldn't change ya, oh Wouldn't ever try to make you leave, no Oh, the neon coast was your sign And the Midwest wind with Pisces rising I wouldn't change ya, oh Wouldn't ever try to make you leave, no Static palms melt your vibe Midnight whisperings"
TRACK 8: GOLDEN DAYS "Oh don't you wonder when the light begins to fade? And the clock just makes the colors turn to gray Forever younger growing older just the same All the memories that we make will never change"
TRACK 9: THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE DIRTY "If you wanna start a fight You better throw the first punch Make it a good one And if ya wanna make it through the night You better say my name like The good, the bad and the dirty"
TRACK 10: HOUSE OF MEMORIES "Baby we built this house On memories Take my picture now Shake it til you see it And when your fantasies Become your legacy Promise me a place In your house of memories
TRACK 11: IMPOSSIBLE YEAR "There's no sunshine This impossible year Just black days and sky gray And clouds full of fear And storms full of sorrow That won't disappear Just typhoons and monsoons This impossible year"
