1.	Ride On 05:43	lyrics	download
Hold on-- Hold on, don't look back The Money's in the bag Grandma's Grandson, and a shiny new gun Hit the road. Top Down. 100 Clicks from now Road Signs painted black But the wheels just kept spinin Shot down in the rear view Lady on the radio singing Hold on-- Hold on, don't look back Spin the wheel of fate Pride and Joy, Grandpa's boy How much did he take? Road Signs painted black But the wheels just kept spinin Shot down in the rear view Lady on the radio singing Hold on-- Ride on ride out with the sunset just swimming Shot down in the rear view, lady on the radio singing Six shots ring out, and succeed in succession Shot down in the dirt, like an old-time western Ride on-- Ride on-- Ride on--
2.	Bourbon Soaked Moon 05:28	lyrics	download
Harder than a coffin nail Rougher than a sanding post He doesn't speak unless he's spoken to But I wouldn't suggest it to most He mixes rash decisions With another shot of rye Gravel in his guts and dirt in his eyes Bourbon soaked moon in the bloodshot sky His favorite game was cut throat But he never learned how to play cards He wasn't much of a gamblin man But you could bet on him against the odds He walks a path of hot coal Sleepin on a bed of nails And they say that he could never be found But chances are that he's ridin the rails Bourbon soaked moon in the bloodshot sky Better off keeping your distance Try not to look him straight in the eye He had a scare from his ear to his chin But no one ever dared ask him why He is a man of few words And you'd be lucky if they never were heard He always left with his ear to the ground Weans out the weak as he follows the herd Bourbon soaked moon in the bloodshot sky
3.	On a Bad Day 03:46	lyrics	download
You were only three days old When you came back So full of rage, so full of hunger And so full of hate Some said it was a demon Some said it was disease Now there's only a look of longing In your eyes Longing for the flesh Of those left alive The dead will dance in my dreams And their bodies will dam up the streets Your loved ones once adored Now swarm you into their horde And when one comes They always bring more And honestly it does not Look like they rest Honestly it does not Look like they rest A gun keeps you safe but it's loud And the dead will follow the sound As it echos out through the streets To the valleys and on through the trees The wind can bring with it smell And the dead won't stop Til they drag you to hell No the dead won't stop Til they drag you to hell You were only three days old When you came back So full of rage, so full of hunger And so full of hate Some said it was a demon Some said it was disease Now there's only a look of longing In your eyes And the dead won't stop Til they eat you alive No the dead won't stop Til they eat you alive
4.	Take my Advice 03:48	lyrics	download
It could be something that is so small Could feel like nothing at all But you've got to take that dream And run They'll tell you that you are so good They'd tell you anything they could Just to stab you in the back Try 'n cut you down Run away, rabbit run Run away Go on and chase that dream of yours For another day 'Cause soon you'll find you'll begin to fade away So run rabbit, run Run away They'll say your nothing but a joke But on these very words they'll choke These peoples dreams and faiths turned to Regrets and fears So I ask you rabid dog What shall we do next Shall we dance Or go our separate ways Run away, rabbit run Run away Go on and chase that dream of yours For another day 'Cause soon you'll find you'll begin to fade away So run rabbit run Run away Stare a hole through the sun It won't make you go blind Keep your eyes on the prize So you don't fall behind Like the rats in a race You'll deceive for the cheese Ignore the sun now that your blind From your hatred and your greed Run away rabbit run Run away Go on and chase that dream of yours For another day 'Cause soon you'll find you'll begin to fade away So run rabbit, run Run rabbit run Run rabbit run..........
5.	Shipwreck 03:23	lyrics	download
We set out for shore In the pissin down rain Some stayed aboard And called us insane But something on that ship ate them alive We couldn't stay but one more night When we made it to shore We were three men alive Of nineteen began Some lost to the tide (man overboard) The preacher jumped off ship on day one He couldn't live with what he'd done Chorus Scream bloody murder Howlin at the moon They'll never take you alive If you hide the silver spoon x2 Trapped in a box The box is my mind Open the box Let me run wild But something in my mind tells me to stay He wouldn't have it any other way (and he said) Chorus Scream bloody murder Howlin at the moon They'll never take you alive If you hide the silver spoon x2 On the island we lived On the island we'd die Some lost to sickness Some to the night Something in those woods ate them alive I would not dare to venture in that night
6.	When I Die 03:36	lyrics	download
I've been troubled All my life Now there ain't no time To set things right Ain't no time to set things right I've been angry At the lord Cry out loud Just to be ignored Cry out loud just to be ignored Preacher man Understand That there ain't no Salvation now Ain't no salvation for me now When I die No one will cry When the undertaker Stops to lay me down Undertaker stops to lay me down
7.	A Peddler's Run 04:19	lyrics	download
Businessman, pinstriped suit Briefcase never leaves his hand Family man, he's a well provider Business trips, he's a bullshit lire Steep hill, but he's quick to climb He thought he had it under control Now it's just a matter of time Just watch it as it all unfolds Quick rise to power, and a snowblind decent Twenty-four-seven happy hour But it won't take long, til the money's all gone And then he'll have nothin left Steep hill, but he's quick to climb He thought he had it under control And now it's just a matter of time Just watch it as it all unfolds It starts with, shifty eyes and a runny nose But still he's got his alibis But soon it's, sunken eyes and a bloody nose Whisky rotten, spitting lies Steep hill, but he's quick to climb He thought he had it under control Now it's just a matter of time Just watch it as it all unfolds Big shot brought down by his own medicine And now he lives out on the streets Businessman, in a pinstriped suit Beggin for the fix he needs Steep hill, but he's quick to climb He thought he had it under control Now it's just a matter of time Just watch it as it all unfolds He thought he had it under control
8.	The Traveling Widower 05:23	lyrics	download
I rode out of town In a carriage and a coffin Another love lost This happens too often See I am a man Of particular taste My love at alter Tore me from grace Til death due us part Yeah that's what she said When these words bestowed me I pictured her dead Many will come And many will go They come with the gypsies And leave with the snow chorus Don't lie with strangers Don't bury knives in their backs Keep right and sleep tight Just try to relax The first was Malinda And the second Francine Most recent Broomhilda Ah she was a scream They cried out at night Oh they cried out at day I couldn't bare to.... To see them this way I stepped out of the woodshed And into the rain Holding the answer To seize them their pain I enter the house And come in from the night Head down to the cellar To kiss them goodnight chorus Don't lie with strangers Don't bury knives in their backs Those with have left us Unpeacefully passed Don't lie with strangers Don't bury knives in their backs Keep right and sleep tight Just try to relax A murder by death For a most heinous crime Sentenced to hang I was sentenced to die My body now still As i swing from the line Still my soul lingers Still my soul thrives chorus Don't lie with strangers Don't bury knives in their backs Those who have left us Unpeacefully passed Don't lie with strangers Don't bury knives in their backs Keep right and sleep tight Ah just try to relax I rode into to town In a carriage and a coffin Another love lost This happens too often
9.	Master of Disaster 05:33	lyrics	download
The darkened moonlight dripping down Mocks the rotted tree Forever in a knotted state Stand tall for all to see The diamonds fall right through the cracks Damaged but unbroken The crown has cracked upon the head A test of true devotion A test of true devotion Morality and blood run thin Sifting through the midnight ash The seed will surely flourish My, they grow up much too fast Charred remains of dried up old Still smouldering inherit past Stale, greedy, dirty laughter See the demons face at last The demon shows his face at last The Serpent spewing silver tongue Twisting all the faiths Skilled in the trade of converse All the world shall embrace Apparent senses sharpened Peering through their rusted eyes Carved in time emotionless Circling your own demise Circling your own demise Circling the drain Master of disaster Determined to destroy The moonlight quickly scatters The man no more a boy The broken clock inside his head Reminds him he's insane An absence of it's soulful tick Like blood run dry from vein Blood run dry from vein Master of..... Master of.... Disaster Master of.... Disaster

about

The Electric Grub Sydney, Nova Scotia

It's the smell in the air, the taste in your mouth, and the chill down your spine. The menacing soundtrack to your own form of debauchery. Deeply rooted in the industrial wasteland of Sydney, NS, emerged from the tar ponds: The Electric Grub. This revolving door of musicians resembles a dysfunctional family circus that comes from the twisted imaginations of Travis Morrison and Chuck Knott. ... more
