Headspace


Me

I'm a man

Who is trudging

Best I can

Through a minefield

Built to blast

Can I make it

Will I last



Free my mind, levitate

Don't let any of those fuckers in my headspace



Please

Let me be

No more questions

No more needs

You're the cancer

You're the leech

Sent to bleed me

Of disease



Free my mind, levitate

Don't let any of those fuckers in my headspace

Let me go my own way

Burn the rest of them that try to keep me enchained



Living taking chances

Isn't all that it's meant to be

Dying with your face on

A t-shirt isn't all that original



Me

I'm the man

Will I make it

Will I last

Superhuman


I'm a superman

I wanna be your superman

I'm a superman

I wanna be your superman



What you get is a crash course to be a man

But a man is a destination never known

Sometimes dressed up like a red hot lady in pumps

Don't think she can get enough



Always feel like she's runnin on a hamster wheel

Getting high, crashing cars and makin mistakes

Keepin her face packed with cocaine

Her face is numb your faith is gone



I'm travelin on now

I'm makin plans now



Cocaine

Alcohol

Lady-lay

Withdrawal



Keep it comin in a world that's blown up wild

Keep it comin in a world that's bred her style

We're all runnin from the goose she's high on cocaine

There's a noose swimmin right between her legs to her brain



We're all in need of a superhuman woman now

We're all in need of a superhuman woman now

So rodeo, rodeo, rodeo, rodeo

Throw the rope around her neck and get the show on the road



What's she thinking

She'll never get enough


Velvet Revolver - Contraband - 2004

Set Me Free



You operate and motivate on synthetic fuel

You're mother nature and an atom bomb

As long as you're kept full of pretty bodies

Your little secret will be safe with me



Around again

Insane again

It comes again

And sets me free



[Chorus:]

So set me free, set me free

'Cause I think you need my soul

Set me free, set me free



You're kept alive and polarized with one thing in mind

Metabolize everything that you see

But now and then or a little later

Now I'm gonna take you down with me



Around again

Insane again

She comes again

And sets me free



[Chorus x2]

So set me free, set me free

'Cause I think you need my soul

Set me free, set me free



[Bridge x2]

So take me down

Take me, down, down, down, down

Take me down, take me down



[Chorus x4]

So set me free, set me free

'Cause I think you need my soul

Set me free, set me free



My freedom!



That's a wrap!

You Got No Right



I fell through the ice

She won't be coming back too soon

It never wins to lie

She said you'll never have no rights



I've took it farther on the outside

I've took it nearly to the brink

And if you've seen me on the outside

You would have barely seen me breathe



Funny right here I find myself

Inside a paper cup

Without a warning or a reason it's a treason

With no answer



You got no right

To keep me waiting here

You got no right

To keep the pain in here

That holds the crown



And if I fall apart on the outside

(You really don't believe me)

And if I take it to the brink

And if I fall apart on the outside

(You really don't believe me)

You would have barely seen me breathe



And if I meet you out tonight

Will you be loving me forever

It's always over after the night

It's always colder after the night

I broke through the ice

She won't be coming back again

It's been a year and a night

Slither


Hey Hey Hey


When you look you see right through me

Cut the rope, fell to my knees

Fallen, broken every single time



Always keep me under finger

That's the spot where you run to me

Might see some type of pleasure in my mind



Yeah, here comes the water

It comes to wash away the sins of you and I

This time you see



Hey hey hey



When you seek me you destroy me

Rape my mind and smell the poppies

Born in blood in every single time



Always keep me under finger

That's the spot where you might linger

But I see some type of pleasure in my mind



Yeah, here comes the water

It comes to wash away the sins of you and I

This time you see

Like holy water

It only burns you faster than you'll ever dry

This time with me



[guitar solo]



When you look you see right through me

Cut the rope, fell to my knees

Fallen and broken

Every single time



Yeah, here comes the water

It comes to wash away the sins of you and I

This time you see

Like holy water

It only burns you faster than you'll ever dry

This time with me



Hey, hey, hey

Dirty Little Thing


Can't stop thinkin musta been trippin this evening

My mind is racing demons and all of my feelings are numb



Yeah and when I roll with my head in the wind

And I feel like the king of the

Dead men wishin they had gotten together with you girl

But you're a dirty little liar with a message of obsession to come



You got your head in the clouds and your world's upside down

Get away from the life you're living

Get away from the man that's stealing your life

Get away from the drugs you're taking

Get away from the film of sex in your life



Can't stop drinking I'm cold kicking and bleeding

The wine is numbing feelings and all of my memories are gone


Velvet Revolver - Contraband - 2004

Loving the Alien (Sometimes)


Sometimes I think I'm scared

Sometimes I know

I feel like making love

Sometimes I don't

I feel like letting go

Maybe not

I feel like giving up

Is all we got



Sometimes is all the time

And never means maybe

Sometimes is all the time

Maybe



And I'm moving on

And I'm moving on (Sometimes I feel alone)

And I'm moving on

And I'm moving on



Sometimes I make believe

When we're alone

Machines have taken hold

Can you get me to a telephone

It's just the little things

You used to see

Am I still that man who makes you who you want to be



I never noticed

How lovely were the aliens

Lovely were the aliens

I never noticed

Lovely were the aliens

Lovely were the aliens


Velvet Revolver - Contraband - 2004

Let It Roll


She's the one with lips like candy, candy

Like a dog well I'm a coming running

She got eyes that burn right through me, through me

She told me her name calls herself candy, candy



Can't burn her out of my head

Drink her off of my mind

Let it roll

Let it roll



She got a head that makes you think more of her

She got hairs that makes you want more of it

Lipstick smile that tastes of cherry brandy

She's more than quite insane that makes you want her badly



Can't burn her out of my head

Drink her off of my mind

Can't burn her out of my head

Drink her off of my mind

Let it roll

Candy-o

Candy, candy, candy, candy, candy-o



Can't burn her out of my head

Drink her off of my mind

Candy, candy, candy, candy, candy-o

Let it roll

Candy-o

Let it roll

Candy-o

Let it roll

Candy-o

She Mine


Love songs keep pumpin' on my radio

You split on Monday

Took your machine that kept me afloat

Now you're back it's Tuesday



I call it love insanity

I call it my reality

She mine, mine all mine

She mine, mine all mine



Cool kids keep movin' as the car explodes

Roll around on Sunday

Dual diagnosis is the way to go

Poppin' pills like candy



I call it love insanity

I call it my reality

She mine, mine all mine

She mine, mine all mine



While away

Our old mistakes

Break the fray

Change

She mine, mine all mine

She mine, mine all mine

She mine, mine all mine

She mine, mine all mine


Velvet Revolver - Libertad - 2007

Get Out the Door



Come on closer, won't you tell me what you got

Wait a minute girl, you're something that you're not

Big cities screaming, driving feathers to and fro

Brass in pocket, thought you hit it when you walked up to my door

I've been down this road so long

Seen miles and miles of freaks before



[Chorus]

Get out the door

Get out the door

Gonna kick you when I saw what you were packing

Gonna kick it out the door

Get out the door

Gonna kick you when I saw what you were packing

Gonna kick it out the door



Like Transformers girl there's more than meets the eye

Another beer and then I mighta end up buyin'

The city screams it's full of Angelos and Toms

Never underestimate the danger of sunset boulevard

I've been down this road so long

Seen miles and miles of freaks before



[Chorus]



I've been down this road so long

That miles and miles of freaks before

Think I stop and think I strong

But never could I been so wrong, so wrong



[Chorus x2]


Velvet Revolver - Libertad - 2007

She Builds Quick Machines


Hold fast little love

Burn it strong, let it roam

Ice cold desert snow

She build a quick dream

Sister keep her motor clean

Sunday visits and a wet machine

She's always quick to fight

We'll break her through the night



[Chorus]

I can feel it when you pull straight down

I can feel it when they stood their ground

Roll over right

Keep it through the night

Right, Right

Keep it through the night

Right in my sight

Keep it through the night

I'll smash right through your spotlight



She ran away to Texas

To keep away the excess

Old ex in Vegas, dope, back Texas

She burn through inheritance

Danced across America

At the all night sex show so far from home



[Chorus]



What you give is what you take.

What you bleed is what you break.

I'd bleed for you.

I'd steal for you.

I'd take. [x8]



[Chorus]


Velvet Revolver - Libertad - 2007

The Last Fight


Time feels like I've been back in jail

Like when I was doing time in the can

Spend all night on a bended knee

Just to beg for something to believe

Left home with a pack of clothes without a family tree



[Chorus]

This fight could be the last fight

No giving and no winning

One time could be the all the time

Should we decide to end the misery



Time heals all of the burned out bridges

Filled with nothing more than misery

With the mask of the unbattled son

Trying to beg for something to believe

Left home with a pack of clothes without a family tree



[Chorus]



Break the chains of featherweights and giants

With the stain forever lasting liars

They're afraid when we spit out the fire

And start living



[Chorus x3]


Velvet Revolver - Libertad - 2007

Pills, Demons & Etc


You, you got skills you got the pills

You're getting older

You got the weight of all that's left you on your shoulder

But the world still waits for you

Though you stare right through me



You got your demons and your ways of life

You could pull the trigger and

You'd end the strike



I got the news you had the blues you bought a ticket

To the one place that I won't be going to visit

What the fuck where you thinking

Now I stare right through you



You got your demons and your ways of life

You could pull the trigger and

You'd end the strike

You got your demons and your fancy wine

It would go down easy if you'd spend the night



You got your demons and your ways of life

You could pull the trigger and

You'd end the strike

You got your demons and your fancy wine

It would go down easy if you'd spend the night


Velvet Revolver - Libertad - 2007

American Man



Freedom the naked power

Weakened by the ages

Raped but not forgotten

All its supple secrets

Gods and liberations

Those that try to use it

Are those that try to sheath it

Wide awake



[Chorus]

Yes I am the American Man

Yes I am the American Man

Yes I am the American Man

Yes I am the American Man



Free men

Haunted by the music

Ghosts of generations

Beat the drums for freedom

Those who toiled and suffered

Now those they try to smother

Wide awake



[Chorus]



Where to begin

Bred to win

Where do I go

The soul worn off my skin

So I cut out the hole

In my soul I know is you

So are we ready

Ready to lose

I know

I feel, feel, feel

Inside the walls

Inside the walls

The iron walls protect the souls

Of my old boots



[Chorus]



Yes I am the American Man [x3]


Velvet Revolver - Libertad - 2007

Mary Mary


Got a feelin' feelin' in your eyes

Got a fever, fever, fever in your thighs

In your thighs

Mary, Mary, Mary by my side

Got time and love the kind you cannot buy

Cannot buy

Black boots strong legs got style

My baby knows the walk you see her come for miles

Come for miles



[Chorus]

Want to find out what you're saying

Want to play the games you're playing

Mary, Mary, on my mind (Get back sugar baby)

Mary, Mary, on my mind (Get back sugar baby)

Mary, Mary, on my mind



Modern lover modern kind

When we close the door we're never out of time

Out of time

Black hair, red lips, brown eyes

Can't tell you how it feels that you're mine, o' mine

Mine o' mine



[Chorus]



Baby, baby, baby's on my mind

When we close the door we're never out of time

Out of time



Want to play the games you're playing

Mary, Mary, on my mind (Get back sugar baby) [x4]

Mary, Mary, on my mind



Come on out

Get on out

Just Sixteen


At school the teacher saw

The talent in your eyes

So pleased to meet ya

She looks so pretty, so unsatisfied

Underneath the bleachers

The kid and Mrs. Jones

She's his favorite teacher

Consider it love 101



[Chorus]

We ain't got nothin' to hide, hide

We ain't got nothin' to hide, hide, hide

We ain't got nothin' to hide, hide

We ain't got nothin' nothing nothing to hide.

Oh you say it's wrong you say what you do, you do, you do

Oh you say we're wrong you say what we do, we do, we do

Oh you say it's wrong you say what you do, you do, you do

Oh you say we're wrong you say what we do, we do, we do wrong



What we do wrong



Rollin' in the street lights,

In his old man's ride

Head in his lap goin' up and down up and down

Oh no, cop lights

Standin' in the courthouse

In front of every child

She said "Your Honor I plead to,

Crime of being satisfied"



[Chorus]



Kinda feelin' in love

I'm kinda feelin' in love

I'm kinda feelin' in love

Kinda feelin' love (But I'm Just 16) [x5]



Oh you say it's wrong you say what you do, you do, you do

Oh you say we're wrong you say what we do, we do, we do

Oh you say it's wrong you say what you do, you do, you do

Oh you say we're wrong you say what we do, we do, we do wrong



We do wrong

You do wrong [x7]

Can't Get It Out of My Head



[ELO Cover]


Midnight on the water

I saw the ocean's daughter

Walkin' through the burnin' rain

Hopin' just to know her name



[Chorus]

And I cant get it out of my head

No, I cant get it out of my head

Now my old world is gone for dead

Cause I cant get it out of my head



Breakdown on the shore line

Can't move, I've been paralyzed

Morning don't get here till night

Searching for her silver light



[Chorus]



Out of my head



Bank job in the city

Robin Hood and William tell and Ivanhoe and Lancelot

They don't envy me

Sitting still I want to drown

In my dreams the world keep going round and round



[Chorus x2]


Velvet Revolver - Libertad - 2007

For a Brother


Can't rise from the bottom

Time flies when ya got it

Your time has receded

Wasted

Could and should have been

And didn't



[Chorus]

I've given up my hand for a brother

Given up a hand for free

I've risen and forgiven and I've pardoned

But you set yourself free



Nose dive, crash to the bottom

Angel, your wing was always broken

Fought for rights of the prophets

Not for the spirits of your daughters

Didn't



[Chorus]



Walk slowly

Seems like time has stopped

Seems like I'm slow dancing

But I'm flying

Where do I go?

The home I know is closed

I'm free, free yeah

I'm free, free, yeah

Free, free, yeah



I've bitten off my hand for a brother

Given up a hand for free

I've risen and forgiven and I've pardoned

But you set yourself free



Bitten off my hand for the stuff

And livin' off the shit you steal

You perished for religious and forgotten

daughters that you couldn't see



Given up my hand (You set yourself free)

Given up my hand for free

Given up my hand (You set yourself free)

But you set yourself free


Velvet Revolver - Libertad - 2007

Spay


Wasted all all a disgrace

Rearranged the pretty messes

Pray on your abandoned knee

To fucked up pleasures

To the kids with king of rights

Underneath the night tonight

You would rather spite your face

Than change your life



[Chorus x2]

Spay

Why won't you

Why won't you

Why won't you

Spay yourself



Blitzkrieg the bitches bald

May the trophy sell the gold

Pay the toll or sell your soul

Come on come all

When the bill is on collections

Pepper holes and ugly messes

The singer sings of diamond things

And all excesses



[Chorus x2]



There is a love that doesn't lease

Through the night

Heed all your baggage

And consume all your life



[Chorus x2]


Velvet Revolver - Libertad - 2007

Gravedancer



She's all that I see

And all that I breathe

Take a breath and hold her in

As her shadow's whispering

I can hear the laughter

Knowing what they're after

While she flies beside me

On many broken wings



[Chorus]

Take, take a look around

She's a pretty good dancer

She dances on my grave

Everytime it goes down

Everytime she comes down

Everytime we fall down

She dances all over me



She's the world at my feet

The sun that gives heat

Take a rest and hold her near

Or she'll float away from here

Cause I'm knowing what you fearing

And a sentimental jury

And every mile that guides you

I'll watch over everything



[Chorus]



And everytime that we feel it

It's just another long wasted night

And the dance that we tear

Is just another way for you to roll over me

And the bed that we're sharing

Is the home that I wanna bring you

Want to feel you

I don't want to hear you



[Chorus]



She dances all over me

She dances all over me

She's a pretty good dancer

Take, take, take a look around

She's a pretty good dancer

Everytime she comes down
