New Rules of Rhythm
[Verse]
You're pushing it on the streets tonight
You're wondering where to shine
Your life is in that baby carriage
And it's taking you for a ride
His tiny hands they hold the big apple
His head connects the wires
His likes won't feed the band tonight
And the streams are all on fire
[Chorus]
You've been napping, it’s time to wake up!
We’ve got a brand new villain
He's making you act like an easy score
Your free rides won't be forgiven
This is the radio that stole your soul
These are the new rules of rhythm
It's steaming tonight in Espanol
These are the new rules of rhythm
[Verse]
A cop and your brand new Cadillac
Stand tangled in denial
Charlie wants his shot at redemption
While the reverend stands on trial
Fighting jealousy is all he knows
And he's ready to step in the ring
If you can't afford his ticket tonight
Don’t expect him to let you sing
[Bridge]
You can’t fight your way in anymore
Your old keys won’t turn those locks
You lack the strength to break down the door
All their noise is drowning out your knocks

Rain
[Intro]
Don’t be hatin’ on your sweet soul sister
The girl of your dreams was just here, you just missed her
When lady lucky asks you to dance, don’t walk away, just take a chance
The lonesome cowboy dies alone
So eager to chase the heat of the sun
We need to wrap our arms around the rain
[Verse]
You’re caught in a flood, poor boy
You’re caught in a flood
Chance you’re taking
Heart aching
Nerves shaking
Barrel scraping
You’re caught in a flood, poor boy
Whatcha gonna do?
[Chorus]
Don’t be hatin’ on your sweet soul sister
The girl of your dreams was just here, you just missed her
When lady lucky asks you to dance, don’t walk away, just take a chance
The lonesome cowboy dies alone
So eager to chase the heat of the sun
We need to wrap our arms around the rain
[Verse]
You’re over the hill, poor boy
You’re over the hill
Fate has met you
This upsets you
Life will test you
Don’t let it get you
Not quite over the hill poor boy
Here’s whatcha gotta do?
[Bridge]
Rain
Let it rain
[Chorus]
Don’t be hatin’ on your sweet soul sister
The girl of your dreams was just here, you just missed her
When lady lucky asks you to dance, don’t walk away, just take a chance
We need to learn to love the rain
For all she gives us, let it rain
Don’t be hatin’ on your sweet soul sister
The girl of your dreams was just here, you just missed her
When lady lucky asks you to dance, don’t walk away, just take a chance
The lonesome cowboy dies alone
So eager to chase the heat of the sun
But we need to wrap our arms around the rain

Wet Cement
[Verse]
A red light turns green
Signals the death of another day dream
My mind can twist me up
Lady Stardust let me up
Can’t you see I’ve had enough
What used to make my pulse race
Now just stress my heart can’t take
My mind can really twist those lies
Dashboard Jesus at my side
Guide me on my downhill ride
[Chorus]
I’m spinning my wheels in wet cement
I can’t cover the tracks I’ve left
Go back, can’t move ahead
I try to get out, I sink deeper instead
Causing damage she won’t forget
I’m spinning my wheels in wet cement
Can’t cover the tracks I’ve left
I’m spinning my wheels in wet cement
[Verse]
Oh the courage to start new day
I've always been more hungry than brave
Oh the courage to start new day
I've always been more hungry than brave
You tell me I need to pray
Miss Mary take a look at my face
You know I don’t work that way
[Bridge]
Feels like I've lost control
I've lost my grip, I can't let go
Feels like I've lost control
Feels like I've lost control
I've lost my grip, but I can't let go

Dutch Oven Romance
[Verse]
There’s a circus in her smile
She can snarl on cue
A crazy prankster wearing Prada
This time the joke is on you
Because it’s me that she’s here to see
And I’m still learning her tricks
It’s a rollercoaster drag race pedal to the floor
That's how we get our kicks
[Chorus]
I’m in a Duch Oven romance with Calamity Jane
I could be like you cats, in your big boy pant, that would not be the same
I’m in a Duch oven romance with the biggest dork in town
It was love at first glance between a joker and a clown
[Verse 2]
He’s strong where it counts
With a joke and a tease
His impression of Aunt Gretchen leaves me weak at the knees
A dull moment can’t get near us
When we’re dancing on laughs
He’s always got my number
And I always have his back
[Chorus 2]
I’m in a Duch Oven romance with Calamity Jane
I could be like you cats, in your big boy pant, that would not be the same
I’m in a Duch oven romance with the biggest dork town
It was love at first glance between a joker and a clown
It was a Sadie Hawkins dance when she put me in a trance
His wet Willy left me silly
Her wedgie ripped my pants
We’re in a Dutch oven romance, I can barely catch my breath
We’re juvenile
But we got style
And he’s/she’s the best!
[Verse 3]
Things are really heating up, we’re thoroughly amused
Some people get it, while the rest y’all confused
Nothing brings excitement like when we’re laughing ‘til we’re crying
Send us off to the funny farm and we’ll both grow old smiling
[Chorus 3]
I’m in a Duch oven romance with Calamity Jane
I could be like you cats, in your big boy pant, that would not be the same
I’m in a Duch oven romance with the biggest dork town
It was love at first glance between a joker and a clown
It was a Sadie Hawkins dance when she put me in a trance
His wet Willy left me silly
Her wedgie ripped my pants
We’re in a Dutch Oven Romance, I can barely catch my breath
We’re juvenile
But we got style
And he’s/she’s the best!

Moon
[Verse]
You’ll shine brighter in your lover’s eyes
When she, shines her light on you
As you struggle through your darkest times
She’ll never, turn her back on you
She smiles upon us when the sun goes away
She possesses the strength to pull the oceans her way
She adds muscle to our memories
But I fear her fate is in jeopardy
[Chorus]
What will happen to the Moon
When Mother Earth implodes?
What will happen to the Moon
When we can no longer hold her close?
What will happen to the Moon
When her shine has lost its hope?
What will happen to the Moon?
I will miss her the most
[Verse]
She patiently waits as we search for the answer
A desperate world gone mad
She patiently waits, the innocent bystander
A desperate world gone mad

Clean Break
[Verse]
The wicked witch has us in hiding
The wolves are laughing in denial
Grab your pitchfork and get in line
Fractured fables, fairy tales
Twisted paths, happy trails
I must be trippin’ if I ain’t cryin’
I’m cryin’
[Chorus]
I need a clean break
I need a clean break
I need a clean break
Only so much I can take
Before this breaks me
[Verse]
The town’s people got a brave new plan
Marching tall in a grim parade
Joining the wolves to beat the witch
Nothing seems to fit and no one resists

Whiskey Won’t Bite
[Verse 1]
I sing for her tonight from the introverted corner of my world
Heart and lungs full of silent songs just waiting to be unfurled
Songs of great expectations, broken hearts and desperation
What I lack in intonation I make up for in dedication
[Pre-Chorus]
Well singing songs seems easy next to speaking my mind
Not enough courage in this glass to make that come out right
So I sing for her tonight from the introverted corner of my world
[Chorus]
Well I can think with a silver tongue
But when I speak it just goes numb
Every song I sing, can never be unsung
If she falls for me, well it won’t be tonight
Cuz I’m too scared to speak, and the whiskey won’t bite
[Verse 2]
Well I'm worried what I say will only come out sounding trite
It’s solid in my head, but that's the struggle of my plight
[Pre-Chorus]
I’d rather sit silent, hold my tongue until it’s numb
Than tell her how I feel at the risk of sounding dumb
It’s solid in my head, that’s the struggle of my plight
[Chorus]
Well I can think with a silver tongue
But when I speak it just goes numb
Every song I sing, can never be unsung
If she falls for me, well it won’t be tonight
Cuz I’m too scared to speak, and the whiskey won’t bite
The whiskey won't bite
The whiskey won't bite
The whiskey won't bite
