    Straight Talking Straight Shots

    Straight talking straight shots – there they go again!
    Newsmen and talking heads – “Authenticity!”
    See the war down to the wire, every time, if they can
    There they go!

    I want a touch…

    There’s a pattern, lover; red guns emote
    Small town distraction tactics
    Don’t take your eye off –
    There they go!

    I want a touch…

    Straight talk, straight, straight shots

    Holy Blood

    Chains – or guns
    Caught – us once
    She’s my blood – One’s enough, my love

    Oh, can you hear it now?
    Dancing and dynamite boys being boys
    A real rumble in the underground

    Beat – the fuzz
    Safe –
    For us
    Soft, what light… ?

    Oh, can you hear it now?
    Lead us not into a riot

    Can you hear it in the underground?

    White Flight (So Pretty)

    Ooo-oo – It’s a death trap, I would say
    Sharp enough that there’s no pain

    Ooo-oo – Disconnection’s frightening pace
    The phone is silent, there’s no tone
    Does it hurt to share the blame?
    Drop the pretense, I might call

    Grounded in real
    Feel the seal between your eyes

    Damn Hell Yes

    Don’t need you the same, you ought to know
    Blood will try to bury you
    Don’t need you to stay
    Drive – we got to run
    She’s a moving shot on the road

    Damn hell yes:
    – We like that foreign oil and “God bless…”
    – We’ll take our wives hot with star kids
    – Laser bombs, hearts and minds
    – Cheap hands and fine wine
    – We want it now

    I want you to wait, sight them down, and
    Fire when you see them white
    Watching the trace, and the phosphor lines
    Back in the tank
    Back on the chase

    Damn hell yes we want it right now – Damn hell yes!

    Break This Dollar (Second Blues)

    Anodyne vision clouding the CapEx
    You’ll never sell these silly situational accents
    Break this dollar
    Make it make sense

    You got to get out…

    Haven’t eaten anything
    I want to know how far the rules can bend
    It’s an expression of their buckets and bins
    I want to know…

    Break this dollar

    You got to get out to get in
    I’m busting out, break the skin
    And split it!

    Break this dollar
