Kryptonite
Lyrics by Arnold
Music by Roberts, Arnold & Harrell


I took a walk around the world to
ease my troubled mind
I left my body laying somewhere
in the sands of time
I watched the world float to the dark
side of the moon
I feel there is nothing I can do, yeah

I watched the world float to the dark
side of the moon
After all I knew it had to be something
to do with you
I really don't mind what happens now and then
As long as you'll be my friend at the end

If I go crazy then will you still
call me Superman
If I'm alive and well, will you be
there holding my hand
I'll keep you by my side with
my superhuman might
Kryptonite

You called me strong, you called me weak,
but still your secrets I will keep
You took for granted all the times I
never let you down
You stumbled in and bumped your head, if
not for me then you would be dead
I picked you up and put you back
on solid ground

If I go crazy then will you still
call me Superman
If I'm alive and well, will you be
there holding my hand
I'll keep you by my side with my
superhuman might
Kryptonite

If I go crazy then will you still
call me Superman
If I'm alive and well, will you be
there holding my hand
I'll keep you by my side with my
superhuman might
Kryptonite

Yeah!

If I go crazy then will you still
call me Superman
If I'm alive and well, will you be there
holding my hand
I'll keep you by my side with
my superhuman might
Kryptonite

Loser
Lyrics by Arnold
Music by Roberts, Arnold & Harrel


Breathe in right away, nothing seems
to fill this place
I need this every time, take your
lies get off my case
Some day I will find, a love that flows
through me like this
This will fall away, this will fall away

You're getting closer, to pushing me
off of life's little edge
Cause I'm a loser and sooner or later
you know I'll be dead
You're getting closer, you're holding the
rope and I'm taking the fall
Cause I'm a loser, I'm a loser, yeah

This is getting old, I can't break these
chains that I hold
My body's growing cold, there's nothin
left of this mind or my soul
Addiction needs a pacifier, the buzz of
this poison is taking me higher
This will fall away, this will fall away

You're getting closer, to pushing me
off of life's little edge
Cause I'm a loser and sooner or later
you know I'll be dead
You're getting closer, you're holding the
rope and I'm taking the fall
Cause I'm a loser, I'm a loser!

You're getting closer, to pushing me
off of life's little edge
Cause I'm a loser and sooner or later
you know I'll be dead
You're getting closer, you're holding the
rope and I'm taking the fall
Cause I'm a loser

You're getting closer, to pushing me
off of life's little edge
Cause I'm a loser and sooner or later
you know I'll be dead
You're getting closer, you're holding the
rope and I'm taking the fall
Cause I'm a loser, I'm a loser, yeah

Duck And Run
Lyrics by Arnold
Music by Roberts, Arnold,
Harrel & Henderson


To this world I'm unimportant just
because I have nothing to give
So you call this your free country
tell me why it costs so much to live
Tell me why

This world can turn me down
But I won't turn away, oh no
I won't turn around

All my work and endless measures
never seem to get me very far
Walk a mile just to move an inch
now even though I'm trying so
damn hard

This world can turn me down but I
won't turn away
And I won't duck and run, cause
I'm not built that way
When everything is gone there is
nothing there to fear
This world cannot bring me down
No cause I'm already here, oh no!

I am already here, down
on my knees
I am already here, oh no, I am
already here
I must have told you a thousand
times I am not running away

I won't duck and run
I won't duck and run
I won't duck and run
No I pass away

This world can turn me down but
I won't turn away
And I won't duck and run, cause
I'm not built that way
When everything is gone there
is nothing there to fear
This world cannot
bring me down
No cause I'm already here

This world can turn me down
but I won't turn away
And I won't duck and run,
cause I'm not built that way
When everything is gone there
is nothing there to fear
This world cannot
bring me down
No cause I'm already here

Not Enough
Lyrics by Arnold
Music by Roberts, Arnold,
Harrell & Henderson


Seven days underpaid gotta
give it up
Got no time for this life that
I'm livin' up
Shackled down, kicked
around, now slave to the
grind
Need some time for myself

I'll give anything that you
want me to
But I don't have the time so
I'll get up with you
If you don't understand man
you've got to believe
There is too much of you but
there is not enough of me

There is not enough of me

Same old song world moves
on while I'm still in bed
Meet tomorrow today just to
get ahead
Jump the gun on the run,
I'm the only one
Who thinks that
I'm fallin' behind?

I'll give you anything that
you want me to
But I don't have the time
so I'll get up with you
If you don't understand
man you've got to believe
There is too much of you
but there is not enough of me
There is not enough of me
I'll give you anything that you want me to
But I don't have the time so I'll
get up with you
If you don't understand man
you've got to believe
There is too much of you there
there too much of me

I'll give you anything that you want me to
But I don't have the time so I'll
get up with you
If you don't understand man
you've got to believe
There is too much of you but there
is not enough of me

Be Like That
Lyrics by Arnold
Music by Henderson & Arnold


He spends his nights in California, watching
the stars on the big screen
Then he lies awake and he wonders, why
can't that be me
Cause in his life he i filled with all these
good intentions
He's left a lot of things he'd rather not
mention right now
But just before he says goodnight, he looks
up with a little smile at me and he says

If I could be like that, I would
give anything
Just live one day, in those shoes
If I could be like that, what would I do,
what would I do

Now and dreams we run

She spends her days up in the north park,
watching the people as they pass
And all she wants is just a little piece of
this dream, is that too much to ask
With a safe home, and a warm bed, on a
quiet little street
All she wants is just that something to
hold on to, that's all she needs

Yeah!

If I could be like that,
I would give anything
Just to live one day, in those shoes
If I could be like that, what would I do,
what would I do

I'm falling into this, in dreams
we run away

If I could be like that, I would
give anything
Just to live one day, in those shoes
If I could be like that, what would I do,
what would I do

If I could be like that, I would
give anything
Just to live one day, in those shoes
If I could be like that, what would I do,
what would I do

If I could be like that, I would
give anything
Just to live one day, in those shoes
If I could be like that, what would I
do, what would I do

Falling in
I feel I am falling in, to this again

Life Of My Own
Lyrics by Arnold
Music by Roberts,
Arnold & Harrell


Living risky, never scared, wander
closer to the edge
Nothing valued think no fear, always
wondering why you're here
All your purposes are gone, nothing's
right and nothing's wrong
Nothing ventured, nothing gained,
feel no sorrow, feel no pain

Kiss me while I'm still alive
Kill me while I kiss the sky
Let me die on my own terms, let me
live and let me learn
Now I'll follow my own way, and I'll
live on to another damn day
Freedom carries sacrifice, remem-
ber when this was my life

Looking forward, not behind,
everybody's got to cross that line
Free me now to give me a place,
keep me caged and free the beast
Falling faster, time goes by, fear is
not seen through these eyes
What there was will never be, now
I'm blind and cannot see

Kiss me while I'm still alive
Kill me while I kiss the sky
Let me die on my own terms, let
me live and let me learn
Now I'll follow my own way, and
I'll live on to another damn day
Freedom carries sacrifice, remem-
ber when this was my life

Kiss me while I'm still alive
Kill me while I kiss the sky
Let me die on my own terms, let
me live and let me learn
Now I'll follow my own way, and
I'll live on to another damn day
Freedom carries sacrifice,
remember when this was my life

Better Life
Lyrics by Arnold
Music by Roberts, Arnold,
Harrell & Henderson


I'm about to be on the floor
again, surely you're gonna
find me there
I'm about to sleep until the end
of time, drug I take gonna wake
my fear right now

I'm passing away on to the
better life
I'm passing away on
to the better

I'm about to see just how far I
can fly, surely you're gonna
break my fall
I'm about to run as fast as I
can, head long into that wall
this time

I'm passing away on to the
better life
I'm passing away on
to the better

On to the better life
On to the better

I'm about to be on the floor
again, surely you're gonna
find me there
I'm about to sleep until the
end of time, drug I take
gonna wake my
fear right now

I'm passing away on to the
better life
I'm passing away on
to the better

I'm passing away on to the
better life
I'm passing away on
to the better

Down Poison
Lyrics by Arnold
Music by Roberts,
Arnold & Harrell


I've dreamed about this,
sixteen days away
Now you're here, and my
head lays
Beside your body, pillowed
under mine
You were poison, spinning
round my mind

Welcome to my world she
said, do you feel
alive she said
It's all a bad dream spin-
ing in your lonely head
Welcome to my world she
said, seperated world,
she stayed seperated
Down poison,
down poison

Body withered, body
died, time to take
away this life

Bad enough to die from
one, not to mention
four or five
Welcome to my world
she said, do you feel alive she said
It's all a bad dream spinning in your lonely head
Welcome to my world she said,
seperated world, she stayed seperated
Down poison, down poison
Down poison, down

You weren't there for me, I was there for you
You weren't there for me, I was there for you
You weren't there for me, I was there for you
You weren't there for me, never there for me!

You wouldn't die for me, I've already died for you
You wouldn't die for me, I've already died for you
You wouldn't die for me, I've already died for you
You wouldn't die, you wouldn't die, you
wouldn't die, no!

Welcome to my world she said, do
you feel alive she said
It's all a bad dream spinning in your lonely head
Welcome to my world she said,
seperated world, she stayed seperated

Down poison, down poison
Down poison, down

By My Side
Lyrics by Arnold
Music by Roberts, Arnold & Harrell


They blazed a trail I dared to run
They built this world and I have come
I need another, like a brother,
for a cryin' shoulder

This could be the last time, you will
stand by my side
I can feel my soul it's bleeding, will you fly
with me this evening

Sober mind time now is gone, they carved my
body not of stone
A petty maze of emptiness, I've said the hell
with all the rest

This could be the last time, you will
stand by my side
I can feel my soul it's bleeding, will you fly
with me this evening

This could be the last time, you will
stand by my side
I can feel my soul it's bleeding, will you fly
with me this evening

This could be the last time, you will
stand by my side
I can feel my soul it's bleeding, will you fly
with me this evening

Smack
Lyrics by Arnold
Music by Roberts, Arnold & Harrell


Rubber headed motor junky, run me down
and try to stomp me
Throw my life away, and I'll be worthless
just like you
Somewhere now a baby's crying, down the
road his mother's dying
Shot a line and blew her mind and now
she's turning blue

Don't you throw your life away, just wait
until another day
Don't you throw your life away, cause
baby I can feel it
Don't you ever compromise it, don't you
even realize it
Don't you throw your life away, cause
baby I can feel it, now

Trip and fall
I'm sure you all can tell me
what is on the wall
behind the liquor store where you get
smacked up all the time
Perfect little life you wasted, overdosed
and that death you tasted
Scared you back into yourself, and now
you walk the line

Don't you throw your life away, just
wait until another day
Don't you throw your life away, cause
baby I can feel it
Don't you ever compromise it,
don't you even realize it
Don't you throw your life away, cause
baby I can feel it, now

Life away
Life away
Life away

So I Need You
Lyrics by Arnold
Music by Roberts, Arnold, Harrell &
Henderson


If you could step into my head, tell
me would you still know me
If you woke up in my bed, tell me
then would you hold me
Or would you simply let it lie,
leaving me to wonder why
I can't get you out of this head
I call mine
And I will say

Oh no I can't let you go,
my little girl
Because you're holding up my
world, so I need you
Your imitation of my walk and the
perfect way you talk
It's just a couple of the million
things that I love about you

So I need you
So I need you
So I need you
So I need you

And if I jumped off the Brooklyn
Bridge, tell me would you
still follow me
And if I made you mad today, tell
me would you love me
tomorrow? please
Or would you say that you don't
care, and then leave me
standing here
Like the fool who is drowning in
despair and screamin'

Oh no I can't let you go,
my little girl
Because you're holding up my
world, so I need you
Your imitation of my walk and
the perfect way you talk
It's just a couple of the million
things that I love about you

So I need you
So I need you
So I need you
So I need you

I'm on my own
I'm on my own
I'm on my own

Oh no I can't let you go, my
little girl
Because you're holding up my
world, so I need you
Your imitation of my walk
and the perfect way you talk
It's just a couple of the
million things that I love
about you

So I need you
So I need you
So I need you
So I need you
