I won't believe in what I'm after
Until I've seen the world beyond
Cos I've lost my faith in apple pie
So won't you give me something more
I got the blues
Yeah Yeah Yeah
Can you see my heart is bleeding
I'm lying in pain upon the floor
I don't know what to do with myself anymore
I got the blues
Yeah Yeah Yeah
You can free your mind
You can find your way
You can take your time
But don't be late
Send your eyes around this world until you've seen everything
You gotta live this life till the day you die
And then you're gonna want some more
Yeah Yeah Yeah
Track Name: Somebody On My Side
I drink like a gambler
Walk a fine line everynight
Between some forgotten territory
And someplace I see light
I look up through the lead sky
For an answer to my prayer
Lord could you give me some good luck
Just as you've taken my hair
Cos it takes more than fear
To wander this earth
Like a murderous Cain
And watch everything you've worked for
Go down the drain
With a soul full of rain
I need somebody on my side
When I throw the dice
Why was I born sir
For to serve a richman
Why to priest to the poor and lowly
Why to live from the land
Now I'm looking for a true cause
I've sold everything that I own
Now I'm gonna have me a game of poker
It's time to reap what I have sown
Cos it takes more than love
To die for a king
Or to live for the gold
I've got a sweet spirit to serve
That's long since been sold
Long since
I need somebody on my side
When I throw the dice
Track Name: Everything That I Need
Hand another deathwish to your mama
I guess you never thought you'd find your way back home so soon
And the truth is always beautiful
I found somewhere behind a disused warehouse
Where the sunlight strobes between the leaves like a psychedelic lightshow
Let me show you what I mean
I got a stereophonic headset
I got a lifestyle magazine
I got everything that I need
I got everything that I need
On the beach I believe I had a religious experience
With a bottle of beer and the sound of the breaking waves
My eyes are like flies on the petrol can that lies in the sand
I've worked all day to get myself as fucked up as I can
I'll show you what I mean
I got dancing girls in my head
That make me feel alright
And when i go to bed
I got everything that I need
I got everything that I need
I got everything that I need
