HERO TO ZERO
Drinking champagne, eating caviar
Drivin' around town in a big flashy car
Got two hits both at number one
Yeah, everybody says I'm a son of a gun
Got a big mansion on the top of a hill
Flying my jet gives me such a thrill
Got me an island in a great big sea
Yeah, I can see you but you can't see me
But when the hits stop coming
And the cash begins to dry up
And you change your crystal
For plastic and a paper cup
From hero to zero
The world looks good when you're at the top
From hero to zero
You feel so bad when you start to drop, yeah
Sitting in your room doing nothin' at all
Can't use the gold hangin' on the wall
Thinking ‘bout times when you used to be
Now the bubble's burst and it's plain to see
How the mighty fall
When they know they're on the way down
You were hailed as a king now
You know that you feel like a clown
From hero to zero
A king of the hill sitting on your throne
From hero to zero
You're sittin' in a room feeling all alone
From hero to zero
The world looks good when you're at the top
From hero to zero
You feel so bad when you start to drop
From hero to zero - From hero to zero

FLAT BUSTED (AND OUT OF GAS)
Well it's all over town
I'm back in the lost and found
And can't figure out who
Stuck me in this place that I'm in
Was it the tall blonde my downfall
Or the writing on my body and all over the wall
Hey everybody there was my friend
You know I'd do it over again
Now I'm flat busted and out of gas
Ain't got no job, but lots of class
I'll be O.K. when it's all through
As long as baby I got you
Well here we go again
Well we're spinnin' our wheels on the road again
When right of nowhere
We're hijacked by these chicks from the zoo
Well by the mornin' we was lookin' pale
The man in blue wants our money for bail
My lawyer said it's sink or swim
I swear I'm never drinkin' again
Now I'm flat busted and out of gas
Ain't got no job, but lots of class
I'll be O.K. when it's all through
As long as baby I got you
You know it never fails
Try to be good but my train derails
You know I work so hard
Try to be good fall asleep in my car
You know it can't be true
Thought I was smart but I ain't got a clue
All this frustration, it's got me again
I always end up back where I began
So take it from one whose nose
Knows all about things he'll never disclose
Unless it comes down to playin' that rhythm and blues
Cause it's one for the money, two for the show
Three for the party, hey baby let's go
Just take me where you want to go
And don't let anybody know
That I'm flat busted and out of gas
Ain't got no job, but lots of class
I'll be O.K. when it's all through
As long as baby I got you
You know I'm flat busted and out of gas
Ain't got no job, but lots of class

And put the real world out of my mind
I'm gonna hit the ground running
That's what I do to survive
And when I hit the ground running
I'll play my guitar and fly

LOOKING FOR YOU
I'm on a tightrope but never look back
Too many things that seem to distract
I'm on the ocean but I never dive in
Too many reasons don't know where to begin
But it just beats bumming around
Keeps my feet on the ground - Looking for you
I'm on a mountain but I never look down
Too many times that I feel like a clown
I'm in a jungle but it feels like L.A.
Another time, another place, another day
But it just keeps foolin' around
It keeps my feet on the ground - Looking for you
I know I was wrong to let you go – Tell me something
Tell me you still want to know - Tell me so
I'm in the city but I don't walk around
Too many faces bringing me down
I hit the street searching high searching low
Too many places but nowhere to go
But it just beats messing around
It keeps my feet on the ground - Looking for you
I keep looking for you
LONG TIME COMING
Just a boy of seventeen
Left school to chase a dream
Hard times – the mills closed down
No one working in old steel town
So he practiced 'til his fingers bled
It might be a long time – a long time coming
Joined a band to pay his dues
Playing hard the three river blues
Iron city house rocking making the scene
One way out is his rock 'n roll dream
Played all night 'til he was half dead
It might be a long time . . .
Still playing the same old town
Lots of new faces coming around
The years roll by and they all know
The boy's still making that big blue sound
Holding on to that dream
Even though it's a long time
It's a long time, a long time coming
Gonna be a long time, a long time coming
SEX WITH THE EX
Here come that woman, holy smoke
Wo, it's my ex old lady, ain't no joke
She's really styling, looking mighty fine
That piece was mine, way back in my prime
Ain't it kind of funny, how the times can be strange
But baby I'm responsible now
You know you can trust me - Baby I've changed
All I need from you is a smile
I got good taste at least, the fellows say
You know they're always tipping their hat
Just watch the way that lady packs that dress
Woo – don't get no better than that
I can't believe I let her get away
Thought that I was smarter than that
I'd walk upon the water, turn night into day
I'd do anything to get my baby back
Save me, lady - you know I'm trying to pass the test
Slay me, baby - nothing could be better than
Sex with the Ex
I'll keep her talking with a little wine
Some cool mood lighting might do
A little teddy or a silk negligee'
Now I can see that on you
So give it up baby just one more time
Remember how we played the game
Slide on over here if you'd be so kind
'Cause if you don't it'll be a crying shame
Save me, lady - you know I'm trying to pass the test
Slay me, baby - nothing could be better than
Sex with the Ex
Save me, lady - you know I'm trying to pass the test
Slay me, baby - nothing could be better...
SELF-MEDICATED
Well I'm chemically imbalanced and that's for sure

Self-medicated like I knew I should
Self medicated, self-medicated
Self-medicated & I do it good.

Well it ain't my fault that I got it all wrong

But I say I'll get the combination right
So consecrated, don't make a mistake

MEAN VOODOO WOMAN
Just a shy boy from the country with trembling knees
He hit the big city with a wild curiosity
Then he met the Voodoo woman made his blood boil a thousand degrees
And now she's got him on the run hiding out, crying, begging, "please"
And now that mean voodoo woman won't let me be
Mean voodoo woman got her hooks in me
Blind to her mission so I can't see
Mean voodoo woman wrote my history
Played all the cards so she'd end up owning my soul
And ran all the numbers left me helpless spinning out of control
Then she granted all my wishes said she'd take me from a pawn to a king
But she left me in a trance then she played me like a toy on a string
And now that mean voodoo woman won't let me be
Mean voodoo woman got her hooks in me
I'm blind to her mission 'cause I can't see
Started when she ran her fingers up and down my spine
Knew that I was hooked tThe moment that she caught my eye
Took me in her room - now I know that I'll never return
And now I'm left feeling helpless all I got is the lesson I learned, yeah
I finally made up my mind so tired of the misery
I took a chance, slipped away at the first opportunity
Yeah I thought it would be easy but my luck ran out can't you see
Once she's got you in her grasp then you know that you'd never be free
Mean voodoo woman won't let me be
Mean voodoo woman got her hooks in me
Blind to her mission so I can't see
Mean voodoo woman wrote my history...
VOODOO WOMAN BLUES
Got a mean woman
No she can't be true
Two timing woman
Lord knows she can't be true
Got tricky voodoo

One wave short of a shipwreck - One grape short of a bunch
One song short of a sound check - So what If I'm out to lunch
Well I'm self medicated for so damn long
Well it ain't my fault that I got it all wrong
My friends all tell me I look such a fright
But I say I'll get the combination right
So consecrated, don't make a mistake
It's not easy being perfect, so give me a break
'Cause I'm self medicated, self-medicated
Self-medicated like I knew I should
Self medicated, so dedicated
Self-medicated & I do it good.
Alright...
Hahaha whoa
I think you've had enough - I want more than enough!
Where are we? Oh yeah
Self medicated cause it feels so good
Self medicated like I knew I could
Self medicated never looking back
Self medicated like a heart attack.
Alright
MEAN VOODOO WOMAN
Just a shy boy from the country with trembling knees
He hit the big city with a wild curiosity
Then he met the Voodoo woman made his blood boil a thousand degrees
And now she's got him on the run hiding out, crying, begging, "please"
And now that mean voodoo woman won't let me be
Mean voodoo woman got her hooks in me
Blind to her mission so I can't see
Mean voodoo woman wrote my history
Played all the cards so she'd end up owning my soul
And ran all the numbers left me helpless spinning out of control
Then she granted all my wishes said she'd take me from a pawn to a king
But she left me in a trance then she played me like a toy on a string
And now that mean voodoo woman won't let me be
Mean voodoo woman got her hooks in me
I'm blind to her mission 'cause I can't see
Started when she ran her fingers up and down my spine
Knew that I was hooked tThe moment that she caught my eye
Took me in her room - now I know that I'll never return
And now I'm left feeling helpless all I got is the lesson I learned, yeah
I finally made up my mind so tired of the misery
I took a chance, slipped away at the first opportunity
Yeah I thought it would be easy but my luck ran out can't you see
Once she's got you in her grasp then you know that you'd never be free
Mean voodoo woman won't let me be
Mean voodoo woman got her hooks in me
Blind to her mission so I can't see
Mean voodoo woman wrote my history...
