HAPPY NEW YEAR ( - D. Frost - A. Bouchard - ) Crack the door Shut the light Let's scribble In your book of life Who will fly Who will fight Who won't escape The master of might Who by water Who by fire Licked the tongue of desire Who will shiver Who will shake Who will jump into the lake Who will learn What's at stake Who gave more Than they can take Tell the truth Who's the liar Tossed the promise On the pyre Who by water Who by fire Licked the tongue of desire Who will shiver Who will shake Who will jump into the lake Happy new year baby Here we go around Happy new year baby Big ball coming down Happy new year baby Ready for another round? Happy new year baby Who by day Who by night Lands in the margins Of the book of life SISTERS OF THE PRECIOUS BLOOD ( - D. Frost - A. Bouchard - ) Frozen on my museum lawn A portrait of modern harm And the sweet short breath of maidenhood Oops there goes the neighborhood Sister so precious Lemme pray for you Sister so precious Let us pray In ancient ruins On many a hill All the good daughters Are locked up still Counting crows, making nice Planning weddings to christ Sister so precious Lemme pray for you Sister so precious Let us pray In the dark Before the dawn I am armed You are warned We all got a cross to bear And mine's a big one Sister so precious Lemme pray for you Sister so precious What wouldn't I trade for you Sister so precious Let me kill for you Sister so precious Let me speak for you Sister so precious Let us pray RAMBLIN' ROSE ( - Wilkin - Burch - ) My love is like a rambling rose More you feed it the more it grows Ramblin' rose, ramblin' rose Woh oh oh oh oh oh Ramblin' rose, I'm searching for Diamond rings and a Cadillac car Ramblin' rose, ramblin' rose Woh oh oh oh oh oh Ramblin' rose, I'm ramblin' round Ramblin' rose, I gotta put you down Ramblin' rose, ramblin' rose Woh oh oh oh oh HANSEL & GRETEL ( - R.

Wheels - D. Frost - A. Bouchard - ) 'Til the end of the month When the leaves all fall down One spindle threads our time Across the painted fabric Of our love It stings, it feels good Ooh awaken me tonight If you come close you'll know First light crawls across the floor Restraint in silhouette Love's bitters in the cup Disillusion, discontent Like the vine that climbs our sign That says for rent Yeah One spindle threads our time Across the painted fabric Of our love It stings, it feels good Ooh awaken me tonight 'Til the end of the world Some hard rain's gonna fall Like the spindle threads our time Across the painted fabric Of our love It stings, it feels good Ooh awaken me tonight If you come close you'll know If you come close you'll know But you gotta come real close now BAD HABIT ( - D. Frost - A. Bouchard - ) Can't leave the girl alone Keep reaching for the phone Just like a cigarette Ya smoke it ya crave it It'll kill you yet It's a bad habit That ain't love It's a bad habit That ain't love She's a shark Got your scent She likes to see you broke and bent All your money that she spent You can't even pay your rent It's a bad habit That ain't love It's a bad habit That ain't love Swore off It's no good You wind up in her neighborhood Tomorrow you're gonna quit Now you need one more hit It's a bad habit That ain't love It's a bad habit That ain't love It's a bad habit That ain't love It's a bad habit That ain't love That ain't love That ain't love That ain't love That ain't ugh NIGHT OF THE 1,000 GUITARS ( - The Brain Surgeons - )
