1.	Oh The Misery 02:41	lyrics	buy track
Selfish girl what do you want from me Why'd you come around You're always laughing at me You know I hate the sound I've been to Timbuktu and I've been down I've been running from Johnny Law, Been running from the hounds Oh the Misery I've settled down and played for the king, You know I've played the tune Played it for the jester and the man on the moon I've been here for too long, now I gotta get away Cause you'll come running after me, begging me to stay Blinded teeth don't rip into my head You know my words are better off dead Pots and pans, lots of hands, Oh the misery Stone the boys with the curly hair, ambitious youth Down by the law always sittin' on the wagon of truth Three bones came to be, dancin' around my brain Now Johnny law's coming after me, saying I'm insane Blinded teeth don't rip into my head You know my words are better off dead Pots and pans, lots of hands, Oh the misery
2.	Wherever I Roam 04:03	lyrics	buy track
Blind man hit me when i was drunk, With a 44 pistol looked like a BB gun Well i just kept a walkin, but i couldn't stand up I had a blackened feeling sittin in my gut Chimney sweeper saw me, just the other day Said you aint lookin good are you feeling okay? He was black as the night, no light shines on me And wherever I roam you know that I aint free Wherever I roam, you know that I aint free The devil's always waitin, right behind me Jealousy picked me up on the side of the road Obsession was with her lookin mighty cold They asked me where i was headed, but I couldn't see Everything was blackened in front of me The ghost of my dad was drinkin at the bar Said boy i know you havent gone far The sky was shaking when he spoke to me Said don't follow in my footsteps because I aint free Wherever I roam, you know that I aint free The devil's always waitin, right behind me Snakes of Medusa, whispered in my ear Said boy i know you got plenty of fear I brushed them off, kept on walkin down the road But every step i took you know my feet began to mold Loneliness saw me struggling to get home He knew I was walkin for days all alone He crept up slow, right behind me That moment i knew I'd never be free Wherever I roam, you know that I aint free The devil's always waitin, right behind me
