Lyrics:
120 down the road that night
Moon was shining, the car was jet black
Going so fast I couldn't look back
Hundred and twenty on the road that night
Hey Oh, 120, 120 down the road that night
I got to tell you, I wouldn't lie to you
Hey Oh
Hey Oh
120 down that road that night
That hemi flew by and I thought all right
I did the math in my head, and it came out alright
If I pushed it hard, I could put up a fight
Hey Oh, 120, 120 down the road that night
I could feel the truth; I was so alive when my pony hit overdrive
Hey Oh
Hey Oh
Hundred and twenty down the road that night
Some people say I'm crazy but I feel just fine
Car door handles lined up with mine
Nothing between us but the yellow line
Hey Oh, 120, 120 down the road that night
Car pulled me back, 'bout had a heart attack
120 in a 55
Hey Oh, 120, 120 down the road that night
I got to tell you, I wouldn't lie to you
120 down the road that night
Hey Oh
Hey Oh
Crypto Wonder Drug
In vogue
Some people say
It cures arthritis
Maybe that's why
It keeps getting banned
It's absorbed
Directly through the skin
Mix it with lemon juice
Touch your fingertips
You'll taste the lemon
The police
Started a riot
Down at the courthouse
Again
Running amok
Spilling blood
Bashing heads
I do my part
Behind the lines
Swabbing door handles of cop cars
With D.M.S.O.
Mixed with L.S.D
I was ridin' shotgun with my hair undone
In the front seat of his car
He's got a one-hand feel on the steerin' wheel
The other on my heart
I look around, turn the radio down
He says, "Baby, is somethin' wrong?"
Death is life, it's not a curse
Reminds us of time and what it's worth
To make the most out of it while we're here
We are meant for more
Pull the handle on the door that opens up to change
I know it sounds so strange
We are meant for more
There's a lock upon the door, but we hold the key to change
But how can we escape all the fear and all the hate?
It makes you wonder
Who's doing right with someone tonight?
Who's car is parked next door?
It makes you wonder
Who's doing right with someone tonight?
Who's car is parked next door?
I was ridin' shotgun with my hair undone
In the front seat of his car
He's got a one-hand feel on the steerin' wheel
The other on my heart
I look around, turn the radio down
He says, "Baby, is somethin' wrong?"
Later on that year, I lose
My nigga Pac, damn, it's a cold world
Guess it's all on me, Death Row for life
Gotsta handle my businesson
The frontlineas usual
Oh but what will you say
If I never set foot in your door again
What will you say to your friends then
Will you tell them
Who has the last laugh now
By all accounts, she almost drowned
When she was six in frigid water
And I can confirm she made
A curious child, ever reviled
By everyone except her own father
With a quite bewitching face
Splendidly selfish, charmingly helpless
Excellent fun 'til you get to know her
Then she runs like it's a race
Behind her back, her best mates laughed
And they nicknamed her "The Bolter"
Started with a kiss
"Oh, we must stop meeting like this"
But it always ends up with a Town Car speeding
Out the drive one evening
Ended with the slam of a door
Then he'll call her a whore
Wish he wouldn't be sore
But as she was leaving
It felt like breathing
All her fuckin' lives
Flashed before her eyes
It feels like the time
She fell through the ice
Then came out alive
He was a cad, wanted her bad
Just like any good trophy hunter
And she likes the way it tastes
Taming a bear, making him care
Watching him jump then pulling him under
And at first blush, this is fate
When it's all roses, portrait poses
Central Park Lake in tiny rowboats
What a charming Saturday
That's when she sees the littlest leaks
Down in the floorboards
And she just knows
She must bolt
Started with a kiss
"Oh, we must stop meeting like this"
But it always ends up with a Town Car speeding
Out the drive one evening
Ended with the slam of a door
Then he'll call her a whore
Wish he wouldn't be sore
But as she was leaving
It felt like breathing
All her fuckin' lives
Flashed before her eyes
It feels like the time
She fell through the ice
Then came out alive
She's been many places with
Men of many faces
First, they're off to the races
And she's laughing drawin' aces
But, none of it is changin'
That the chariot is waitin'
Hearts are hers for the breakin'
There's escape in escaping
Started with a kiss
"Oh, we must stop meeting like this"
But it always ends up with a Town Car speeding
Out the drive one evening
Ended with the slam of a door
But she's got the best stories
You can be sure
That as she was leaving
It felt like freedom
All her fuckin' lives
Flashed before her eyes
(And she realized)
It feels like the time
She fell through the ice
Then came out alive
Love is blindness
I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night
Around me?
Oh my heart
Love is blindness
In a parked car
In a crowded street
You see your love
Made complete
Thread is ripping
The knot is slipping
Love is blindness
Love is clockworks
And cold steel
Fingers too numb to feel
Squeeze the handle
Blow out the candle
Love is blindness
Love is blindness
I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night
Around me?
In the heat of the fight I walked away
Ignoring words that you were saying
Trying to make me stay
I said this time I've had enough
And you've called a hundred times
But I'm not picking up
'Cause I'm so mad I might tell you that it's over
But if you look a little closer
I said leave but all I really want is you
To stand outside my window throwing pebbles
Screaming, "I'm in love with you"
Wait there in the pouring rain, coming back for more
And don't you leave 'cause I know
All I need is on the other side of the door
Well, me and my stupid pride are sitting here alone
Going through the photographs, staring at the phone
I keep going back over things we both said
And I remember the slamming door
And all the things that I misread
So babe, if you know everything
Tell me why you couldn't see
When I left I wanted you to chase after me
Yeah, I said leave, but all I really want is you
To stand outside my window throwing pebbles
Screaming, "I'm in love with you"
Wait there in the pouring rain, coming back for more
And don't you leave 'cause I know
All I need is on the other side of the door
And I'll scream out the window
I can't even look at you
I don't need you but I do, I do, I do
I say there's nothing you can say
To make this right again
I mean it, I mean it, but what I mean is
I said leave, but baby all I want is you
To stand outside my window throwing pebbles
Screaming, "I'm in love with you"
Wait there in the pouring rain, coming back for more
And don't you leave 'cause I know
All I need is on the other side of the door
With your face and the beautiful eyes
And the conversation with the little white lies
And the faded picture of a beautiful night
You carry me from your car up the stairs
And I broke down crying, was she worth this mess?
You're here right now, I wanna make the moment last
Don't even know if you would do the same for me
But I, oh, I
I would take a bullet straight to my heart
I would jump in front of a speeding car
I would go through all this pain just to have you
'Cause I can't handle anything but the truth just hurts too much
So I love it when you lie to me
The truth just hurts too much
Girl, promise you'll lie to me
The truth just hurts too much
Promise that you'll lie to-, promise that you'll lie to me, baby
'Cause I just can't handle the pain of the truth
I would take a bullet straight to my heart
I would jump in front of a speeding car
I would go through all this pain just to have you
'Cause I can't handle anything but the truth is if you play me
Play me, hide it, and if you lie it and deny it
I would go through all this pain just to have you
'Cause I can't handle anything but the truth just hurts too much
Salt air
And the rust on your door
I never needed anything more
Whispers
Of "Are you sure?"
"Never have I ever before"
But I can see us
Lost in the memory
August slipped away into a moment in time
'Cause it was never mine
And I can see us twisted in bedsheets
August sipped away
Like a bottle of wine
'Cause you were never mine
Your back
Beneath the sun
Wishing I could write my name on it
Will you call when you're back at school?
Two hands on my waist
One hand on your face
You're too weak to handle me, my babe
You should play it safe
Please know that you're making a mistake
Giving me my space
You better hang on to me this time (you better, this time)
You better
Ayy, Rolex mi watch maker, oh
Benz are mi car maker, oh
Tiffany mi ring maker (okay)
Let me grip on your money maker (okay)
Grip on your money maker (okay)
Your hotline, ah gon' bling later (okay)
Trust me, we ah link later
Take a sip of this, eh, let's go
I want you to feel this beat baby, come on girl let's go
Listen, (what's up), this ain't the way I wanted it to end
But I got to go
Gotta get missing
You ain't gotta kick me out
I'll get out my own house
But you still need to get your shit together girl
What do I do, what do I say
Gotta get us back to the way
That we used to be back in the day
Who do I call to talk to
Shawty, you ain't gotta be scared of me
All we need is therapy
Like one, two, three, four get the hell up out my door
Five, six, seven, eight I don't need your sex, I'll masturbate
Nine, ten, eleven, twelve, you can go to hell all I care, yeah
Can't do it shawty, can't deal with you babe
Can't handle the pressure of you (yeah yeah)
Can't do it shawty, can't deal with you babe
Can't handle the pressure of you (yeah yeah)
Listen, (what's up), I know you ain't used to us being friends
But I got to go
No more kissing
You ain't got to go away
But I know I cannot stay
'Cause you still gotta get your shit together girl
What do I do, what do I say
Gotta get us back to the way
That we used to be back in the day
Who do I call to talk to
Shawty, you ain't gotta be scared of me
All we need is therapy
Like one, two, three, four get the hell up out my door
Five, six, seven, eight I don't need your sex, I'll masturbate
Nine, ten, eleven, twelve, you can go to hell all I care, yeah
Can't do it shawty, can't deal with you babe
Can't handle the pressure of you (yeah yeah)
Can't do it shawty, can't deal with you babe
Can't handle the pressure of you (yeah yeah)
You too much pressure doll
You gonna raise my cholesterol
I gotta lower the phone, decibels
Just to talk, just a thought
I'm gonna get a girl with a ass just as soft
Who swear man dolls like reservoir
And I was mister pink
Remember those nights on the kitchen sink
I was choking you in a good way, good way
Now we in the streets and I'm choking you in a hood way
When the cops come what I could say
You know how all that gossip is
Next morning box of Perez
Any girl I take out media take care of
I need a break now
Before I break now
Show me your Janet Jackson's if you nasty
You said you want to cut my nuts off like Jesse Jackson, classy
Why she say that ouch
Bitch, give me back my couch
And that same couch cashed in
Now listen to t-pain sing
Like one, two, three, four get the hell up out my door
Five, six, seven, eight I don't need your sex, I'll masturbate
Nine, ten, eleven, twelve, you can go to hell all I care, yeah
Can't do it shawty, can't deal with you babe
Can't handle the pressure of you (yeah yeah)
Can't do it shawty, can't deal with you babe
Can't handle the pressure of you (yeah yeah)
Get your shoes on, get your suitcase, your stereo and all of your CDs
No more talking, just start walking
'Cause all that's left for you to do is leave
Tell your lawyer it's all over
Forget what he's got up his sleeve
No more signing, no more whining
'Cause all that's left for you to do is leave
All that's left for you to do is leave
Said goodbye a long, long time ago
There's the door, there's your car, here's the keys
And all that's left for you do is leave
Leave the dog here, he don't like you
And we'll go walking anytime we please
Leave the cat here, leave my hat here
'Cause all that's left for you to do is leave
I'll keep the diamond on my finger and you keep all the bitter memories
Leave the dishes, no more kisses
'Cause all that's left for you to do is leave
All that's left for you to do is leave
Said goodbye a long, long time ago
There's the door, there's your car, here's the keys
And all that's left for you do is leave
All that's left for you to do is leave
Said goodbye a long, long time ago
There's the door, there's your car, here's the keys
And all that's left for you to do is leave
There's the door, there's your car, here's the keys
And all that's left for you to do is leave
Living in your own little world
you're breathing in your own little world
you're feeling in your own little world
just a little bit
People in their own little worlds
they're breathing in their own little worlds
They're feeling in their own little worlds
just a little bit
I'd walk all night if I had to
yes I'd get there my own way
You don't have to stop if you don't want to
yes I know that you might be afraid
How come no-one wants to
take a chance anymore
Do you drive a car
without the inside handle on the door
Surely you're not frightened
by a loner in the night
Watch your hand, you never know
maybe I might bite, I might bite
I might bite
I'd walk all night if I had to
yes I'd get there my own way
You don't have to stop if you don't want to
yes I know that you might be afraid
How come no-one wants to
take a chance anymore
Do you drive a car
without the inside handle on the door
Surely you're not frightened
by a loner in the night
Watch your hand, you never know
maybe I might bite, I might
Surely you're not frightened
by a loner in the night
Watch your hand, you never know
maybe I might bite, I might bite
I might bite
Living in your own little world
you're breathing in your own little world
You're feeling in your own little world
just a little bit
(Dream on, dream on teenage queen prettiest girl we've ever seen)
There's a story in our town
Of the prettiest girl around
Golden hair and eyes of blue
How those eyes could flash at you (how those eyes could flash at you)
Boys hung 'round her by the score
But she loved the boy next door who worked at the candy store
(Dream on, dream on teenage queen prettiest girl we've ever seen)
She was tops in all they said
It never once went to her head
She had everything it seems
Not a care, this teenage queen (not a care, this teenage queen)
Other boys could offer more
But she loved the boy next door who worked at the candy store
(Dream on, dream on teenage queen you should be a movie queen)
He would marry her next spring
Saved his money, bought a ring
Then one day a movie scout
Came to town to take her out (came to town to take her out)
Hollywood could offer more
So she left the boy next door working at the candy store
(Dream on, dream on teenage queen see you on the movie screen)
Very soon she was a star
Pretty house and shiny car
Swimming pool and a fence around
But she missed her old home town (but she missed her old home town)
All the world was at her door
All except the boy next door who worked at the candy store
(Dream on, dream on teenage queen saddest girl we've ever seen)
Then one day the teenage star
Sold her house and all her cars
Gave up all her wealth and fame
Left it all and caught a train (left it all and caught a train)
Do I have to tell you more
She came back to the boy next door who worked at the candy store
(Now this story has some more, you'll hear it all at the candy store)

When I was a curly headed baby
My daddy sat me down upon his knee
He said, "Boy, you go to school and learn your letters
Don't you be a dirty miner like me"
I was born and raised in the mouth of the Hazard Hollow
Coal cars rambled past my door
Now they're standin' in a rusty row all empty
And the L & N
Don't stop here anymore
I used to think my daddy was a black man
With script enough to buy the company store
Now he goes downtown with empty pockets
And his face is white as a February snow
I was born and raised in the mouth of the Hazard Hollow
Coal cars rambled past my door
Now they're standin' in a rusty row all empty
And the L & N
Don't stop here anymore
Last night I dreamed I went down to the coal yard
To draw my pay like I always did before
But them ol' kudzu vines were comin' through the window
And the leaves and grass were growin' through the floor
I was born and raised in the mouth of the Hazard Hollow
Coal cars rambled past my door
Now they're standin' in a rusty row all empty
And the L & N
Don't stop here anymore
By all accounts, she almost drowned
When she was six in frigid water
And I can confirm she made
A curious child, ever reviled
By everyone except her own father
With a quite bewitching face
Splendidly selfish, charmingly helpless
Excellent fun 'til you get to know her
Then she runs like it's a race
Behind her back, her best mates laughed
And they nicknamed her "The Bolter"
Started with a kiss
"Oh, we must stop meeting like this"
But it always ends up with a Town Car speeding
Out the drive one evening
Ended with the slam of a door
Then she'll call him a bore
Wish he wouldn't be sore
But as she was leaving
It felt like breathing
All her many lives
Flashed before her eyes
It feels like the time
She fell through the ice
Then came out alive
He was a cad, wanted her bad
Just like any good trophy hunter
And she likes the way it tastes
Taming a bear, making him care
Watching him jump then pulling him under
And at first blush, this is fate
When it's all roses, portrait poses

Started with a kiss

Ended with the slam of a door
But she's got the best stories
You can be sure
That as she was leaving
It felt like freedom
All her many lives
Flashed before her eyes
(And she realized)
It feels like the time
She fell through the ice
Then came out alive
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore, I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
I see a line of cars and they're all painted black
With flowers and my love, both never to come back
I see people turn their heads and quickly look away
Like a new born baby, it just happens every day
I look inside myself and see my heart is black
I see my red door, I must have it painted black
Maybe then I'll fade away and not have to face the facts
It's not easy facing up, when your whole world is black
No more will my green sea go turn a deeper blue
I could not foresee this thing happening to you
If I look hard enough into the settin' sun
My love will laugh with me before the mornin' comes
I see a red door and I want it painted black
No colors anymore, I want them to turn black
I see the girls walk by dressed in their summer clothes
I have to turn my head until my darkness goes
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
I wanna see it painted, painted black
Black as night, black as coal
I wanna see the sun blotted out from the sky
I wanna see it painted, painted, painted, painted black
Yeah
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
So tonight tend to your business
And let me handle my chores
'Cause Mary, she don't go around no more.
No, Mary, she don't go around no more
