Eight Track Mind Lyrics

The Art of Making NoiseFRIENDS
Written by Steve Rubin and Todd L. Frank
Published by Shh...It's Me Music/Chip Sandwich, Inc.

Let's start by admitting you're wrong
About the things that you said were right
I didn't mean to come off headstrong
I didn't mean to ruin your night
Still. You rely on the kindness of friends
You rely on the concept of friends

And you will wake up, one day, and see.

We woke up and we moved from our places
Didn't notice when it all went down
Never expected such a humble condition
Just pretended we were never around
We relied on our circle of friends
You rely on the concept of friends

And you will wake up, one day, and see.

And you rely on that circle of friends.

You're defined by the people around you
Someone's always there to be leaned on
Check the mirror before leaving your houses
Never knowing what you really look like
You rely on the blindness of friends
You rely on the concept of friends

And you will wake up, one day, and see.


PASSION
Written by Steve Rubin and Todd L. Frank
Published by Shh...It's Me Music/KNOW YOUR HOUSE! Songs

It's not that I don't really want to believe you
It's just that I don't really seem to care
So call of your dogs I think I've reached the deep end
Can't you tell by the passion in my stare...
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Do you have passion? Do you feel pain?
Do you have passion? To play the game
Do you have passion? To rally in the streets
Risking total defeat. Like a dog chasing meat

I've been tested one too many times to remember
The devil's changed me now I'm a broken man
Sealed my fate and mailed it in a letter
Then took a U-turn right out of town...
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Do you have passion? Do you feel pain
Do you have passion? To stay in the game
Do you have passion? You sell it for fame
Riches or glory. Still you end up lame

You say you're trying but you're not trying that hard
Making noise the whole time and calling it art
How will you spend your time between dinner and death
Will you love all your things, or forget your best...
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Do you have passion? The passion to change?
Do you have passion? To stay the same?
Do you have passion? To take the heat
Or lie through your teeth. To the people you meet

Everything is coming up roses

Do you have passion? Do you feel pain?

Everything is coming up roses...


KING & QUEEN
Written by Steve Rubin and Todd L. Frank
Published by Shh...It's Me Music/First You Go Really High and Then You Go Really Lowww

Living in a visual paradise
Where all of the bad ones are good,
And the good ones are bad.
Step aside I'm the new King, With my beautiful Queen.
We'll take this town. We'll take it home.

We could rule. As King & Queen.

We're inflicted with this American Dream and the pursuit to reign supreme
Where the sadness needs pills,
And the bills don't get paid.
Don't forget to get your...Prescription filled at the good people's will
We'll rake this town. We'll take them all.

We could rule. As King & Queen.

Every one is singing the exact same song
Meanwhile, we decide who's on
The good ones are bad,
And the bad ones are worse.
Get your ticket to our...Pre-recorded show where we always keep you in tow
We'll fake this town. We'll fool them all

We could rule. As King & Queen.
We could rule. As King & Queen.
We'll take them all
We'll take it all
We'll take them all
We'll take it all


EYES SEE ALL
Written by Steve Rubin and Todd L. Frank
Published by Shh...It's Me Music/Holy Shit It's the Fucking Feds Music

Now that you've got my attention
How can you escape?
Drunk on the corner spitting tension
Already made your big mistake
Already made your big mistake

Eyes see all. I see all.

This is just a stroke of genius
It's really not that big a deal
Years from now this will be mentioned
And we'll all question it's appeal
We'll all question it's appeal

Eyes see all. I see all.

Now that I've got your attention
Please tell me you relate
Just don't make any assumptions
This is just my escape
This is just my big escape

Eyes see all. I see all.


BREATHING
Written by Steve Rubin and Todd L. Frank
Published by Shh...It's Me Music/Leo McGarry Walks Like a Monkey Music

It's in the air around you, In all the air you breathe
The way some things are going, We cant even speak
You won't see it coming, No, you won't hear a thing
Best now to get running, it's everybody's race...

And I can't breathe

Strangled by our freedom, No one's asking why
Choking all our children, Then complaining when they cry
Time to quit your whining, 'Bout what you should have done
It's the ultimate betrayal, is claiming that you won...

And I can't breathe

How come you're still breathing? Your life is incomplete
And everything you stand for, Binds you at your feet
My lungs are collapsing, And I'm still wide awake
Dry just like an echo, Just icing on the cake...

And I can't breathe


GET HIGH ON ME
Written by William G. Resh and Steve Rubin
Published by Shh...It's Me Music/RokkoR Songs

Come on in, I'm just the same
Come on in, and ease my pain
I've reached the end, it's not the same
So come on in and numb my pain

Needles and pins, scratch my skin
I can begin, to feel the same
Take the weight, absolve my sins
As memory, that feels the same

Get high on me, taste the sweets of ecstasy
In my world, I'm finally at the place I wanna be...
FREE......

Sniff the sting and let me be
A wisp of smoke that's finally free
Use the rest so soon, use it sacredly
Be my tomb and set me free

Come on in, I'm just the same
Come on in, and ease my pain
Take the weight, absolve my sins
As memory, that feels the same

Get high on me, taste the sweets of ecstasy
In my world, I'm finally at the place I wanna be...
FREE......


ARE YOU WOMAN ENOUGH TO BE MY WOMAN?
Written by Steve Rubin
Published by Shh...It's Me Music/Headstrong Should Have Been The Name Songs

I have seen your face before
Moving slowly across the floor
It looks like diamonds in your eyes
Hard to tell yet can't disguise

That it's all wrong.

Are you woman enough to be my woman?

I didn't know that the storm was near
Until the first thunder struck me ear
Nothing good can become of this
A temporary moment of bliss

I know it's wrong.

Are you woman enough to be my woman?

Such temptation with that stare
I can change your world with only a glare
But I am so much wiser now
Knowing who, what, when, and how

To be right.
I know I'm right.
I gotta be right.

Are you woman enough to be my woman?
