I'm standing in the courtroom waiting for the judge No point in fighting the race is run Don't think they'll listen or hear my pleas Better lock me up and throw away the key You can feel the tension and reach out to cut it with a knife It takes just a few words to make a difference and change my life Don't remember was out of my mind Next thing you know I'll be doing hard time Pinstriped shirt the universal sign I'm guilty as charged and I'm doing hard time I'm biting my nails for the verdict to come The jury files in each step louder than a drum The moments here nowhere to turn A real man looks in the fire when he's gonna burn You can feel the tension and reach out to cut it with a knife It takes just a few words to make a difference and change my life Don't remember was out of my mind Next thing you know I'll be doing hard time Pinstriped shirt the universal sign I'm guilty as charged and I'm doing hard time Don't remember was out of my mind Next thing you know I'll be doing hard time Pinstriped shirt the universal sign I'm guilty as charged and I'm doing hard time I don't remember (I'll be doing hard time) Next thing you know (I'll be doing hard time) I don't remember (I'll be doing hard time) Next thing you know I'll be doing hard time
2.	Crash and Burn (Acoustic) 04:43	lyrics	buy track
Endless night, pure delight is what she’s all about Her sapphire eyes; I’m none the wise The demon seeks me out She’ll take you home, get you alone Inside her den of sin Ready or not, here she comes Let the games begin (Work me up) (Take me down) (Pull me in) (Wear me out) Break me from this mortal coil and use me til I’m dust (Feisty mount) (Legs give out) (I’m not down) (For the count) Crush me til I’m nothing. Watch me crash and burn Ravenous, never pleased Always craving more Consuming all my senses This body’s getting sore Clad with lust and sweaty lace This woman’s in my head She’s not gonna let me be She’ll keep me in her bed (Work me up) (Take me down) (Pull me in) (Wear me out) Break me from this mortal coil and use me til I’m dust (Feisty mount) (Legs give out) (I’m not down) (For the count) Crush me til I’m nothing. Watch me crash and burn (Work me up) (Take me down) (Pull me in) (Wear me out) Break me from this mortal coil and use me til I’m dust (Feisty mount) (Legs give out) (I’m not down) (For the count) Crush me til I’m nothing. Watch me crash and burn (Work me up) (Take me down) (Pull me in) (Wear me out) Break me from this mortal coil and use me til I’m dust (Feisty mount) (Legs give out) (Now I’m down) (For the count) Crush me til I’m nothing. Watch me crash and burn
