    Lyrics

    We played king of the mountain out on the end
    The world come chargin' up the hill, and we were women and men
    Now there's so much that time, time and memory fade away
    We got our own roads to ride and chances we gotta take
    We stood side by side each one fightin' for the other
    We said until we died we'd always be blood brothers

    Now the hardness of this world slowly grinds your dreams away
    Makin' a fool's joke out of the promises we make
    And what once seemed black and white turns to so many shades of gray
    We lose ourselves in work to do and bills to pay
    And it's a ride, ride, ride, and there ain't much cover
    With no one runnin' by your side my blood brother

    On through the houses of the dead past those fallen in their tracks
    Always movin' ahead and never lookin' back
    Now I don't know how I feel, I don't know how I feel tonight
    If I've fallen 'neath the wheel, if I've lost or I've gained sight
    I don't even know why, I don't know why I made this call
    Or if any of this matters anymore after all

    But the stars are burnin' bright like some mystery uncovered
    I'll keep movin' through the dark with you in my heart
    My blood brother

    Lyrics

    Monday mornin' runs to Sunday night
    A scream slow me down before the new year dies
    Won't take much to kill a lovin' smile
    And every mother with a baby cryin' in her arms, singin'
    Give me help, give me strength
    Give a soul a night of fearless sleep
    Give me love, give me peace
    Don't you know these days you pay for everything
    Got high hopes
    I got high hopes
    I got high hopes
    I got high hopes

    Yeah comin' from the city, comin' from the wild
    I see a breathless army breakin' like a cloud
    They're gonna smother love, they're gonna shoot your hopes
    Before the meek inherit they'll learn to hate themselves
    Give me help, give me strength
    Give a soul a night of fearless sleep
    Give me love, give me peace
    Don't you know these days you pay for everything
    Got high hopes
    I got high hopes
    I got high hopes
    Yeah, I got high hopes
    Roy!
    Got high hopes
    Yeah, I got high hopes
    I got high hopes
    I got high hopes

    Yeah so tell me someone now, what's the price
    I wanna buy some time and maybe live my life
    I wanna have a wife, I wanna have some kids
    I wanna look in their eyes and know they'll stand a chance

    Give me help, give me strength
    Give a soul a night of fearless sleep
    Give me love, give me peace
    Don't you know these days you pay for everything
    High hopes
    Got high hopes
    I got high hopes
    Yeah, I got high hopes
    Break!
    High hopes
    I got high hopes
    Yeah, I got high hopes
    I got high hopes
    Yiiii, (I got) high hopes
    Yeah, high hopes
    Whoa, high hopes
    High hopes
    Yeah, well, I got high hopes
    Yiiii, got high hopes
    Yeah, high hopes
    Yeah, (I got) high hopes
    Yeah, high hopes
    Yeah, I got high hopes
    High hopes

  • 3 Murder Incorporated

    Lyrics

    Bobby's got a gun that he keeps beneath his pillow (oh yeah)
    Out on the street your chances are zero (oh yeah)
    Take a look around you (come on down)
    It ain't too complicated
    You're messin' with Murder Incorporated

    Now you check over your shoulder everywhere that you go (oh yeah)
    Walkin' down the street, there's eyes in every shadow (oh yeah)
    You better take a look around you (come on down)
    That equipment you got's so outdated
    You can't compete with Murder Incorporated
    Everywhere you look now there's Murder Incorporated

    So you keep a little secret down deep inside your dresser drawer
    From dealing with the heat you're feelin' down on the killin' floor
    No matter where you step you feel you're never out of danger
    So the comfort that you keep's a gold-plated snub-nose thirty-two
    I heard that you

    You got a job downtown, man it leaves your head cold (oh yea)
    And everywhere you look life ain't got no soul (oh yeah)
    That apartment you live in feels like it's just a place to hide
    When your walkin' down the streets you won't meet no one eye to eye
    Now the cops reported you as just another homicide
    I can tell that you was just frustrated
    from livin' with Murder Incorporated

    Incorporated
    Everywhere you look now
    Murder Incorporated
    Down on your knees
    Murder Incorporated
    Everywhere that you turn it's murder Incorporated

  • 4 Secret Garden

    Lyrics

    She'll let you in her house
    If you come knockin' late at night
    She'll let you in her mouth
    If the words you say are right
    If you pay the price
    She'll let you deep inside
    But there's a secret garden she hides

    She'll let you in her car
    To go drivin' round
    She'll let you into the parts of herself
    That'll bring you down
    She'll let you in her heart
    If you got a hammer and a vise
    But into her secret garden, don't think twice

    You've gone a million miles
    How far'd you get
    To that place where you can't remember
    And you can't forget

    She'll lead you down a path
    There'll be tenderness in the air
    She'll let you come just far enough
    So you know she's really there
    She'll look at you and smile
    And her eyes will say
    She's got a secret garden
    Where everything you want
    Where everything you need
    Will always stay
    A million miles away

  • 5 Without You

    Lyrics

    Monday, I go to work
    Tuesday, can't find my shirt
    Wednesday, I'm feeling blue
    I'm helpless, darling
    Without you, without you
    Without you, without you
    Thursdays, everything's fine
    Friday, I'm out of my mind
    Saturday, Sunday too

    It's hopeless, darling
    Without you, without you
    Without you, without you

    Each and every night of the week
    I toss and turn in my sleep
    Worrying if you're all right
    Wondering where you are tonight

    Monday, I go to work
    Tuesday, can't find my shirt
    Wednesday, I'm feelin' blue

    I'm helpless, darlin'
    Without you, without you
    Without you, without you
    Thursdays, everything's fine

    Each and every night of the week
    I toss and turn in my sleep
    Worrying if you're all right
    Wondering where you are tonight

    Monday, I go to work
    Tuesday, can't find my shirt
    Wednesday, I'm feelin' blue

    I'm helpless, darlin'
    Without you, without you
    Without you, without you
    Thursdays, everything's fine
    Friday, I'm out of my mind
    Saturday, Sunday too

    It's hopeless, darlin'
    Without you, without you
    Without you, without you
