I ain’t a lot of bark, I’m a lot of bite too Rub me the right way, I’ll be a sweetie to you But if man’s best friend is made to cry You better cross your heart and hope to die So watch your back, young man To the ground you fall because I ain’t one of the boys I’m the queen of them all Look out now, I’m coming for you The beast under your bed needs a hunk o’ meat to dig into I got no pack to follow, I’m a one man show I howl at the moon running through the snow I ain’t a lot of bark, I’m a lot of bite too Rub me the right way, I’ll be a sweetie to you I’m the alpha bitch you’ve never seen before You’ll give me an inch, I’ll take a mile more

Springtime Devil, can’t you see I don’t want you, you don’t want me I’ll sing it right into your ear You’ll have to try another year What could’ve been, what still could be Were dead and gone when I found me A real love that I still hold Twelve months a year here in the cold Your silver tongue was tarnished long ago From time to time, you cross my mind But at the crossroads You won’t find me there to meet you Every spring, come back to me Your big brown eyes, your silver tongue The same old thing that I heard sung to me last spring You’re living off a memory Of youth, not love, of apathy Misanthropy’s a sentiment you provoke in me so well I won’t descend back to your hell

Lost 04:16
L – O – S – T Let’s get lost I wanna get lost In your vagrant eyes They may be strangers But they sympathize You move so fast And I rev so high Youth seems to trap me As the night draws nigh Give me something to consume The match is lit, breathe in the fume You say the night is drawing nigher So hold me close ’cause I’m on fire F – I – R – E Fire me up Fire me up Oh, I need it bad Youth seems to trap me I may be going mad And what I want, you’ll give willingly You’ll try your best but you won’t say no to me You can’t miss what you haven’t known Some things are better left alone You say the night is drawing nigher So hold me close ’cause I’m on fire All things shall come to pass, I’m told When the fire’s out, you feel the cold All things shall come to pass, you say But I want you now, I want you today
4.
We hardly even spoke, you had no time to waste Your pockets must be lined for you to have such taste I bet that magic potion cost you your last dime Wearing that cologne should be a wicked crime You were gone so fast like a cloud of smoke I didn’t even have a chance to take a toke But even though you’re always oh-so far I’d sniff you out easy, wherever you are because Babe! All I have to cling to Is that look in your eye when you had me to sing to Oh babe, your scent of Tobacco Vanilla And every last dollar you spent
5.
Bomb of Time 04:18
No pain, the gain, it had its way with you Forgoing any reason why you shouldn’t Why you wouldn’t need to To find a shelter from the Bomb of Time You need your youth to validate your rhyme No pain, the gain, it had its way with you Forgoing any reason why you shouldn’t Why you wouldn’t need to It’s a shelter from the time bomb in your head It hides the silent scream of reason gnawing through instead You kill to keep the colour of your hair Your heart is bleached so pale ain’t nothin’ there We get what we deserve when we go home You’ll still be ash though you’re encased in chrome
6.
My babe and me, we reap the riches from the seeds we sow And that’s a fact that, ooh, I bet you’d like to know The who, the how, the when, the why, the where, the what’s for show It’s all a mystery and, ooh, we like to keep it so Stop telling me the things I already know You say there’s something wrong with me I say there’s something wrong for sure A little rough, a little tough, ooh baby, in the name of love That’s bound to happen when you’re out for blood My babe and me, we live to eat the riches of the night And that’s a fact, ooh, you know they’re just ripe The sleazy way’s an easy play but, babe, it’s how you win The game is rigged for us, to lose it – in the end it’s all the same
7.
So long, farewell I ain’t got the time to fall under your spell, farewell Put another dime in the wishing well You say that I’m missing out but that ain’t true Blowing smoke don’t impress no one but you Bite another line ’cause mine ain’t waiting for you Won’t wait for you So long, farewell I ain’t got the time to fall under your spell, farewell When is it ever gonna ring a bell, so long, farewell Put another dime in the wishing well Your something new is really only something old Nothing but a hunk of wood covered in gold You’re looking to buy someone who can’t be sold I won’t be sold

Smoke Me 03:21
Them sleepless nights, they beckon me to give them rest at last A repeat customer I am, you get into my head so fast Your voice, your words like cavalry they take me by assault My rage is big enough to separate the sea from the salt Smoke me faster Papa, I’m your deadly cigarette I’m leaving this here plain to claim a crown I won’t regret Now stick it to the man and stick the barrel to my head Pull the trigger, shoot to kill and hit the target If you come and get me in that big old corbillard Just don’t expect me to lay down, I’m gonna fight you hard And even if the moon were to turn blood red I’ll still give my regards to Bloody Queen before I’m dead

Bloody Queen 04:33
Say your prayer and let me go Leave behind the people I know Voice no more, my words you’ll be Said your prayer and then you buried me If God is love, then love is me I died only by heaven’s decree Hand that saves and hand that feeds In the dark, I’m left to bleed Down I’ll go where the fallen are Sweet dreams, ashes in the fire Smoke snuffed out that heavenly gleam I’ll take my throne as the Bloody Queen Bloody Queen is draped in red Subjects fear until she’s fed Came to take my soul, she said God save the queen, the queen is dead Oh, Bloody Queen, oh woe is me You killed God when you buried me Bloody Queen, oh can’t you see That you killed God when you buried me
