After The ice begins to thaw The breakdown Of broken laws Blood soaks Into the dirty snow The city’s a trap with Nowhere to go Mid June Too many dead too soon July Twice as many die Hot heat Burning up the street Chalk outlines Decorate the concrete Hot guns In the summertime Hot guns In the summertime Hot guns In the summertime Hot guns Hot guns Hot guns Hot guns Headlines Screaming overtime Blind fear Enough to last all year It’s war And it’s door to door Just when you think it’s over Get ready for more Hot guns In the summertime Hot guns In the summertime Hot guns In the summertime Hot guns Hot guns Hot guns Hot guns

Mississippi 04:47
Turn off your GPS Put on that little black dress We’re gonna take a ride Let’s get a bite to eat I hear they’re smoking meat Down on Riverside Drive It’s been a brutal week Of fighting in the street Let’s grab some piece of mind No police search lights No dogs that bark and bite We’ll leave those troubles behind Come on come on come on baby And pull up anchor with me Come on come on come on Come on darling Let’s drift into the MISSISSI MISSISSI MISSISSI MISSISSIPPI You take this bag of ice I’ll take the beans and rice The boat has whiskey and wine We’ve some friends on board Playing some common chords Just having fun in wartime The river doesn’t care Out in the middle out there About our great divide Out beyond the barbed wire Looting and gunfire We’ll watch the cities Burn on both sides We’ll come on come on come on baby And pull up anchor with me Come on come on come on Come on darling Let’s drift into the MISSISSI MISSISSI MISSISSI MISSISSIPPI Mississippi! Come on come on come on baby And pull up anchor with me Come on come on come on Come on darling Let’s drift into the MISSISSI MISSISSI MISSISSI MISSISSIPPI Mississippi! (x 12)

My baby drinks Hamm's in a can I'm so happy to be her man The wiggle in her walk And the giggle in her talk She's a champion She doesn't drink no Black and Tan She doesn't speak no Ku Klux Klan The wiggle in her walk And the giggle in her talk She's a champion My baby she can stop traffic With nothing but a sideways glance My baby is black magic When she's gets up to dance My baby drinks Hamm's in a can My baby drinks Hamm's in a can My baby drinks Hamm's in a can My baby drinks Hamm's in a can

Sitting in the break room All by herself With an apple A juice box Peanut butter On wheat bread Priscilla is working her Ouiji board Somebody Somebody Somebody Somebody might drop dead Twenty five minutes Of quiet Of escape from The chitter chatter Chitter chatter Chitter chatter Chitter chatter Drowning In drivel In trivial shit that Doesn't matter No matter No matter No matter Priscilla! Priscilla! Priscilla! Priscilla! If she wanted to talk To you If wouldn't be about Baseball Or football Or Batman Or Congress Priscilla is working her Ouija board She asking Recording And planning What she's gonna Do next

The Royalettes used to sing That it's going to take a miracle But neither of us are true believers That doesn't mean we're cynical Have I been trapped in time? I count each day in countermeasures Stepping sideways off of the ledges Giving in to gravity forever Invite me upstairs And you can kick me Back down them all baby Once we're there Tie me to a chair And you can push me out An open window I just don't care I remember when you'd sing "Crazy" in a black snakeskin hat You did Patsy Cline just fine You went at that song with a baseball bat You’ll break my heart again But it's never quite like the first time To smash a perfect thing to pieces To get away with a perfect crime Invite me upstairs And you can kick me Back down them all Baby once we're there Tie me to a chair And push me out An open window It's only fair

I heard you say you’re gonna lose your mind I heard you say it at least one hundred times I know you wanna put a bullet in your brain But you’re gonna be just fine I won’t tell you to cheer up and smile I won’t treat you like a child I’ll only tell you to calm down now Everything’s gonna be alright Everything’s gonna be alright It’s just another fight night Another inch within your life Another gorilla beating on his wife Beneath a neon light I’ve got some simple advice It’s as easy as beans and rice I’ve got a way for you to keep on living and There ain’t no end in sight No, there ain’t no end in sight Keep your panties out of the evidence bags Keep your panties out of the evidence bags Keep your panties out of the evidence bags Keep your panties out of the evidence bags

Cry Again 03:39
Well well, the night was foggy And my eyes were soggy And I would up feeling sorry for Answering the phone On a bad news feed That’s attached to me If I could just break free I would gladly break a bone Well I think I’m gonna Cry again Yeah, I think I’m gonna Cry again Well I think I’m gonna Cry again Well I think I’m gonna Cry again She’s a part time magician A full time beautician Her chronic precognition Is a cash machine She drive a dull pink Rambler That doesn’t really matter She’ll drive it off a bridge tonight In Tallahassee Well I think I’m gonna Cry again Yeah, I think I’m gonna Cry again Well I think I’m gonna Cry again Well I think I’m gonna Cry again I wake up in the morning and I’m Sad sad sad I close my eyes at night And I’m still feeling bad I can’t even remember the Last good time I had Yeah yeah yeah yeah

We’re not lost at sea To the contrary We’re exactly where I want us to be We’re exactly where I want us to be Miles from shore and free It’s just you and me Exactly where I want us to be Exactly where I want us to be You wanna rock my boat You wanna tip the boat over You wanna get my goat You wanna tip the boat over You wanna leave a mark Well now, I’m a shark Nothing but sea and sky Hours from sunrise Now it’s just you and I Now it’s just you and I And as we capsize This is how you’ll die I will drink your blood And wipe my mouth With Your Necktie You wanna rock my boat You wanna tip the boat over You wanna get my goat You wanna tip the boat over You wanna leave a mark Well now, I’m a shark And as we capsize This is how you’ll die I will drink your blood As you watch your Very Last Sunrise
