The Fools Mask (Song Lyrics)

Meet Again Some Day

I can see my baby walking, down that lonely road

She's searching for horizons, that I may never know

I can see her looking back now as I try to look away

And I wonder if we'll meet again some day

I can hear my baby laughin and I truly wish her well

But I have to think I'm better off, but only time will tell

She seems to think I'm lost inside my ever loving mind

And she wonders if I'll ever find the time

Sometimes I have to wonder if it's truly worth the time

I'd scratch my head and try to think, but I'd probably lose my mind

Cause sometimes it's all or nothing and forever's nothing more

And it's you my love I truly do adore

Yes it's you my love I truly do adore

I can see my baby smiling as she stops to wave to me

It's funny how she always knows what's hard for me to see

I smile back and nod my head, you best be on your way

Cause now I know, we'll meet again some day

Cause now I know, we'll meet again some day

I always knew, we'd meet again some day

And now I know, we'll meet again some day

I always knew, we'd meet again some day

That Voice In My Head

How could I have known
You were there all alone

Standing in the cold

And waiting for someone, to come along

How could I have known

You were standing right in front of me

I was all alone 

And fightin with that voice in my head

Should have opened up my eyes

Never know what you'll find

You were all alone
And waiting for someone, to come along

(chorus)

I was all alone

How could I have known
You were there all alone

Standing in the cold

And waiting for someone, to come along

(chorus)

I was all alone

And fightin with that voice in my head

I was fightin with that voice in my head

But then you turned around

Ghoulash

(instruMENTAL)

'Ghoulash'

Shake For Me Now

Shake for me now, don't let me down

You got outlandish kinda ways for dragging me down

I hear the thunder rumbling like it's coming through the stereo

Shake, shake, shake it like the freak you are

Like the freak you are (2's)

Shake for me now, don't drag me down

I'm working on a bottle of whiskey and a fat cigar

I see the smoke is rising underneath the neon lights

You got that bump and grinding kinda look in your eyes

(chorus)

Shake for me now, I'm hypnotized 

My heart is pounding and I'm losing my mind

All the diamonds and pearls, wine and caviar

Shake, shake, shake it like the freak you are

(chorus)

No More Lonely Nights

Baby what do I have to say to make it all go away

So there'll be no more lonely nights, for the rest of our lives

Baby what do I have to do, to spend some time with you

So there'll be no more lonely nights, for the rest of our lives

Cause all I wanna do, is run away with you

So there'll be no more lonely nights

For the rest of our lives

And there was nothing left, but the sunset

And all those memories of me and you

And the time slipped slowly by cause you were alway on my mind

When I sat alone and tried to think it through

But I was lonely in my thoughts without you

(chorus)

(solo)

And I was all alone, thinking by myself

Of all those memories of me and you

And I tried so hard to find, that sparkle in your eyes

But I was all alone and trying to think it through

And I was lonely in my thoughts without you

So lonely in my thoughts without you

(chorus)

And there'll be no more lonely nights
No more lonely nights

'No More Lonely Nights'

Best Days Of Your Life

I like to live my life, like I'm running short on time

So far away but never far behind

I like to drink my whiskey until I'm feeling no pain

Cause Lord knows, it chases those blues away

I like to face my troubles, with a smile on my face

It's not hard to find and never far away

And I prefer my women a little on the wild side

With the full moon reflecting, in their eyes

I got no job, no life and I'm living just like I'm a criminal

No money, no time, no hope and I don't care

I've got a couple close friends and a dime bag, that's my medicine

And if you don't like how I'm living, Hell I don't care

I like to hang my fuzzy dice from the rearview mirror

Where I watch them come and go and dissappear

A pair of shades and a pack of Lucky Strike cigarettes

You better hold on tight, cause you ain't seen nothing yet

(chorus)

I like my muscle cars with their tires burning

Cause they're gone in a flash at the snap of a switchblade knife

I got old vinyl 45's back home in the jukebox turning

Does it take you back to the best days of your life

(chorus x2)

Does it take you back to the best days of your life

Snake Oil

I hear you got some money and you're really doing well

But you made a whole lot of money

Selling snake oil to the wolves

And now they've mass-produced their profits

Selling snake oil to the fools

And while they laugh in all their grandeur

The sheep try to hide their wounds

And it all goes back to you

For selling your disease as a snake oil prophecy 

So devine in all your wisdom, so divine in all you do

You tell them you'd walk on water

Until they're begging to carry you

So you feast on the flesh of the wounded

While you promise to help them through

But all you want is their money

It's the snake that's haunting you

And it's wrapped around your twisted point of view

And the heavens have no place for a fool like you

Now the devil's at your doorstep and he's dying to welcome you

Cause you made a whole lot of money

Selling snake oil to the wolves

And the heavens have no mercy, for a fool like you

Who'd feast on the flesh of the wounded

While he promised to help them through

And it all comes back on you

For selling your disease as a snake oil prophecy

So you cry out for mercy, but what can you do

Cause the heavens have no place for a fool like you

No the heavens have no place for a fool like you

For a fool like you

Everything

It's all a merry-go-round

Sometimes you're up, sometimes you're down

It's such a wonderful life that we know

Don't go doubting your wings

You'll lose your grasp on everything

It's such a wonderful life, that we know

Give me a mask and a pot of gold

I'll give you my conscience and my soul

Give me a shelter, with the whole world at my feet

And I'll give you everything

I want everything!

It's all a merry-go-round

You try to hold on tight but it's spinning around

It's such a frantic life, that we know

You try to follow your dreams, but there's a price on everything

It's such a horrible life, that we know

(chorus)

(solo/vocal ad libs)

(chorus)

I want everything!!

The Freaks Waltz

(instruMENTAL)

If Only For A While

I never thought I'd ever meet someone like you

You made me feel like I was young

I got so lost inside those big brown eyes 

And I found myself a friend

But people will talk, yes you know they will

And some might say you're a bit too young

It's hard to step outside those boundaries

So maybe it's best that I move on

But I know someday I'll find a way

Cause I felt it in your smile

But sometimes love is just a moment

If only for a while

I never thought I'd ever meet someone like you

You really brightened up my life

I came and walked into your paradise

And you caught me by surprise

Like a beautiful sunset, across the sand

The type you hope will never end

I'm not afraid to lose my loneliness

But I'm afraid to lose my friend

(chorus)

But sometimes love is just a moment

If only for a while

(change)

(chorus)

Well maybe love is every moment, not only for a while

Cause baby I loved every moment

That I looked into your eyes

One Crazy Night

It was such a fun and crazy night

hope it wasn't just one day in our lives

Don't want those memories to fade away

Kinda hoping we can find our way

Through the darkness of that crazy night

turned it around and made it shine so bright

Hoping miracles can find their way

Until we meet again another day

Don't let those memories fade away

I found you there while I was all alone

I had that feeling you were someone I'd known

It wasn't easy but I took a chance

Because you made me smile and made me laugh

It's kind of funny how you never know

Time happens fast and then away you go

I never thought that one crazy night

Might be the start for the rest of our lives

(chorus)

You found me standing there all alone

Did you have that feeling I was someone you'd known

Got me to dance and that's all I know

Cause in that moment we were all alone

I took a chance when I kissed your lips

We'll chalk it up to drunken confidence

But in that moment you were someone Id known

But then you left and I was all alone

(chorus)
(change)
(chorus)

Don't let those memories fade away

Shady Deal

Go and tell it like you will, I got a little time to fill

But the word is out on the streets, that it's just another shady deal

And you sell it like a poison pill, so bittersweet

And I'm ripe for the kill

Come and haunt me with that mischievous smile

Such a devious style, I'm so lost in the thrill

Cause I know, full well, that you will

Go and spread it like a terrible lie

I'm so blinded by that look in your eyes

And that sweet taste of deceit's so bittersweet 

And I can't decide

But I got a little time to kill

You're gonna ride it like I know that you will

But the word is out on the streets

And the time feels like it's standing still

And I've grown, so lost, in the thrill

Cause I know, full well, that you will

The moonlight is shining down, casting shadows all around

Another day has come and gone

Another body in the lost and found

And you haunt me with those mischievous eyes 

Selling snake oil, deception and lies

I guess I hoped that something was real

But it was just another shady deal

And I'd grown, so lost, in the thrill

Now I know, that I knew, full well

I just never thought you had the heart to kill

The Damage Is Done (Bloodline)

Oh woe is me and my old tattered bones

Just look at this mess that I have become

Don't cry for me darling for the things that I've done

Cause there's no need to worry about the mess I've become

My boat has set anchor and the damage is done

Well I drank all the whiskey and I drank all the rum

Trying to hide from my troubles, but they've barely begun

And I can't fight the demons, they're haunting my soul

And I know, they'll never let go

(chorus)

Those old family secrets crawl back from the grave

When the bloodline is tainted, it poisons the veins

So you beg for forgiveness, but your conscience is stained

And the tides can't wash it away

No the tides can't wash it away

(chorus)

(change)

(chorus)

My boat has set anchor and the damage is done

And the tides can't wash it away

Alone With You

I seen her walking away I thought

But then she turned and walked into my heart

And I know, our love is true

And I know, I won't be blue

Every time, that I'm alone with you

She turned and smiled and said my name

Caught me by surprise and blew me away

And I know, that I love you

And I know, our love is true

Every time, that I'm alone with you

Now she's got me on my knees saying crazy things

Cause she's the girl of all my dreams

And I know, our love is true

And I know, I won't be blue

Every time, that I'm alone with you

I held her hand and I held her tight

You make me proud that you're in my life

And I know, that I love you

And I know, our love is true

Every time, that I'm alone with you

Every time, that I'm alone with you
