Prairie Sun 06:05
[Verse 1] Step out of the Dark, and into the light where my skin burns The prairie sun, has fooled me once again this year It won't take long, and if you're not strong that's cool with me The wind if cold, please come into my home [Chorus] The autumn sky is nice, just get some sleep tonight This Saskatchewan boy is grown, gonna find some sleep tonight [Verse 2] West Saskatoon, the year was 1994 We were having fun, we were children having a rock fight It didn't take long, and that's how I got the scar on my forhead Remember it? That's how I remember it. [Bridge] Stay up late with me Fall asleep with me Stay with me tonight
2.
[Verse 1] I want to get trashed on a Saturday So that I can skip out on another day I'd rather waste my life than play the game I slash my wrists, and slowly I fade away [Chorus 1] I'm bleeding out x4 [Verse 2] I'm gonna paint my face in ritual So I can gnash my teeth til my blood bowl's full Don't you listen to the radio The news they spew, you know it is a hoax [Chorus 2] It is a hoax x4
3.
Dead Friends 03:52
[Verse] I killed my best friend, I put a bounty on his head I killed my bet friend, the man he shot him, and now he's dead [Chorus] Leave me alone, Leave me alone Wah, Wah, Wah wah [Bridge] As you sleep the blood of your enemy is trickling thick into you concious dream And when you think you're free, you're trapped in your world
4.
C'est La Vie 03:22
[Verse 1] Tell me when it's time to go, and I'll pack my things And i'll walk along these white covered streets The long and cold walk home, is one I dred because I'm all alone Please accept my plea, someone please [Chorus] I'm a noman I dn't got no home I got a place where I hang my hat But I don't belong [Verse 2] I need to change the scene, man I hate the snow The sun is always blocked out, it's minus fourty below Freezing blistering on my skin I can barely pay the bills,and still inflation grows I feel like a failure I never met my goals C'est La Vie
5.
[Verse 1] I am a scum bag, you don't want to go You bring me down, becuase it hurts I don't even know why I even stick around You don't do anything for me [Chorus] But when you call I'm always around to pick up x4 [Verse 2] Just like last weekend while I wasn't sober You call me up, you were fake to the T I don' even know why, I keep you around You don't mean anything to me [Bridge] I don't know how to say know to you
6.
[Verse] Get a job, and raise a family take a wife Live in the suburbs it would be nice But I can't adjust to anything I'm aparently not the American dream [Chorus] So I retreat to my lower class poorly painted apartment Where I keep to myself I keep my mouth shut and I don't step out of line and things should all be fine, ain't life beautiful? [Verse 2] Toxic dreams fill my memories I gotta clear my head and rid of enemies Burn the bridge to the place where I don't belong Maybe I'd be better of on my own than a mindless drone [Bridge] I'm an under achiever I can do so much better
7.
[Verse] Am I supposed to be you prince charming? I guess I'd like to be, if you'll have me I don't know if I got what it take to please you Even if you were mine I'd probably still be unsure Soak Up My Dream [Verse 2] Sunny river bank Take pleasure in a swim I got some pharmacutical narcotics in my system Life is feeling pretty good Even though i'm a mess This life is temporary but my journey will never end
8.
Plan 'E 04:27
[Verse] So I got me some powder, and I rolled up a queen I put it in my nose and snorted that plate clean I do it again, I still want some more I finished my bag close to half past four The girl in the short skirt was pissing me off I guess it's time, I better shove off Tonight was a good night for sure [Chorus] Caught in a dream flipping threw magazines This come down is bumming me out Nothing lasts forever Nothing is clever atleast not anymore [Verse 2] Throwing down the lane on a Saturday night What was in my drink? Do I feel alright? I'm feeling kind of sleep, man i think I'll go home Think I'll watch some tele and strum some drone Tonight was a good night for sure
9.
Wake up in the morning, grab a cup of coffee Put on my socks and walk right out that door Only to meet my nemesis, right out that door Please don't make me go home tonight For I won't be here tomorrow There's a rope noose hanging from my ceiling Screming my name Hello Reaper won't you take me out on a trip You can hack my limbs for the Kodak if it's pleasurable for you Life is doll, I wonder what death feels like Is it greener on the other side? Is there anything at all? Who knows, who knows
10.
[Verse 1] She got stoned so she could not make it To the show on Friday night I got drunk, and fell down a stairwell Tearing up my blue jeans [Chorus] Because she don't like her own bleached hair x4 [Verse 2] I got fucked when I started bumping I rolled it up now I'm the one half cut [Bridge] She don't got her head on straight So I'll stay up late and smoke a ciggarette [Verse 3] She got stoned so she could not make it To the show on Friday night I got drunk and fell down a stairwell I never made it to Bobby's Place
11.
Okotoks 02:15
[Verse 1] In Okotoks there is a woman who lives in fear everyday That they don't come back for her, and her family They took her husband in a black car, and she hasn't seen him since Their family is scared [Chorus] So what do you do? To fill the time when you so afraid it's just too bad that you still have to go to work And just relax as if there's nothing wrong [Verse 2] A threat of violence is upon us Was it his fault? Or maybe it was mine I could've kept him from the pony show, So then he wouldn't owe A loanshark or his dealer Needle in his arm, is how south police will find him Seven weeks from now
