- 1. Prisoners Of Today (iTunes Session)
Lyrics
I never bite off more than I can chew but then she came and bit me,
I never bite off more than I can chew but then she bit my leg,
She said “don’t wanna work I wanna play and live my life like it was Sunday!”
“The only problem is that Sunday only comes now once a week and I’m a freak but…”
We’re breaking up the city,
no time for wasting away,
so tell me why should we stay,
prisoners of today!
My body is tired my souls excited and I wish that I was gifted,
My body is tired my souls excited and I wish I had some spunk,
She said ” I wanna run, I wanna hide, and leave this place just like it left me”
“The only problem is I need to find the balls to follow through and that’s the truth now…”
We’re breaking up the city,
no time for wasting away,
so tell me why should we stay,
prisoners of today!
When there’s no time for one another?
Cause this is our time and our place…
History I can’t erase!
We’re breaking up the city,
no time for wasting away,
so tell me why should we stay,
prisoners of today!
When there’s no time for one another?
There’s no time for one another?

- 2. Standing In the Rain (iTunes Session)
Lyrics
My head, it hurts, each day it’s getting worse,
My looks and smile have now become my curse,
Tight lips, red skirt the never ending street,
Big car, little man, my lover for a fee…
So if ya see me will ya just drive on by
Or will I catch the twinkle inside your eye?
And if ya want me, well, I guess I want you
Oh pretty baby how could you!
Standing in the rain…
Milk carton mug shot baby missing since 1983,
Standing in the rain…
20 years of dirty needles rain drops running through my veins!
My head, it hurts, each day it’s getting worse,
No sun, my room has now become my hearse,
Cold sores, I’m beat got bruises on my feet,
My pride, these men have taken it from me!
So if ya see me will ya just drive on by
Or will I catch the twinkle inside your eye?
And if ya want me, well, I guess I want you
Oh pretty baby how could you!
Standing in the rain…
Milk carton mug shot baby missing since 1983,
Standing in the rain…
20 years of dirty needles rain drops running through my veins!
So if ya see me will ya just drive on by
Or will I catch the twinkle inside your eye?
And if ya want me, well, I guess I want you
Oh pretty baby how could you!
Standing in the rain…
Milk carton mug shot baby, mother I have lost my way

- 3. Rusted From The Rain (iTunes Session)
Lyrics
I stumble through the wreckage, rusted from the rain
There’s nothing left to salvage, no-one left to blame
Among the broken mirrors, I don’t look the same
I’m rusted from the rain, I’m rusted from the rain
Dissect me ’til my blood runs down into the drain
My bitter heart is pumping oil into my veins
I’m nothing but a tin man, I don’t feel any pain
I don’t feel any pain, I’m rusted from the rain
Go on…crush me like a flower, rusted from the rain
Go on…strip me of my powers, beat me with your chains
And if…I’m the King of cowards, you’re the Queen of pain
I’m rusted from the rain, I’m rusted from the rain
You hung me like a picture, now I’m just a frame
I used to be a lap dog, now I’m just a stray
Shackled in a graveyard, left here to decay
Left here to decay, I’m rusted from the rain
Go on…crush me like a flower, rusted from the rain
Go on…strip me of my powers, beat me with your chains
And if…I’m the King of cowards, you’re the Queen of pain
I’m rusted from the rain, I’m rusted from the rain

Lyrics
I stumble through the wreckage, rusted from the rain
There’s nothing left to salvage, no-one left to blame
Among the broken mirrors, I don’t look the same
I’m rusted from the rain, I’m rusted from the rain
Dissect me ’til my blood runs down into the drain
My bitter heart is pumping oil into my veins
I’m nothing but a tin man, I don’t feel any pain
I don’t feel any pain, I’m rusted from the rain
Go on…crush me like a flower, rusted from the rain
Go on…strip me of my powers, beat me with your chains
And if…I’m the King of cowards, you’re the Queen of pain
I’m rusted from the rain, I’m rusted from the rain
You hung me like a picture, now I’m just a frame
I used to be a lap dog, now I’m just a stray
Shackled in a graveyard, left here to decay
Left here to decay, I’m rusted from the rain
Go on…crush me like a flower, rusted from the rain
Go on…strip me of my powers, beat me with your chains
And if…I’m the King of cowards, you’re the Queen of pain
I’m rusted from the rain, I’m rusted from the rain

- 5. Saint Veronika (iTunes Session)
Lyrics
They found an empty bottle on her windowsill
The day her mother lost her sleeping pills
She was sick and tired of being invisible
Hard to see in color when you’re miserable
Veronika, Saint Veronika
You can’t leave this world behind
So be strong enough to hold onto us
We’re still right here by your side
No one ever thought that she was capable
And the damage done is irreversible
Now she clings to life inside a hospital
Like she’s trapped inside a frozen waterfall
Always said her life was never meant to be
Stuck here living someone else’s dream
Well beyond your window there is so much more
Even every prison has a open door
Veronika, Saint Veronika
You can’t leave this world behind
So be strong enough to hold onto us
It’s just not your time to die
And while the angels sleep
All of the devils are awake
Waiting to steal your love
Right outside of Heaven’s gate
And all the sacred hearts
Can’t numb the feeling from the pain
Cause when the drugs don’t work
You’re gonna curse His holy name
Damn God, yeah, God, yeah
Damn God, yeah, God, yeah
Veronika, Saint Veronika
You can’t leave this world behind
Oh Veronika, Saint Veronika
We’re still right here by your side
So be strong enough to hold onto us
You can’t leave this world behind
Oh Veronika, Saint Veronika
It’s just not your time to die
