Knew I was wrong when I made that change but I was set to do it anyway for salvation you jus have to ask the lord of lords and take stock in what you need it for if not for that, then there wouldn't be this no need to make our nipples bleed over a kiss cuz of the passion we both went a little over board and took a loan on what we couldn't afford For no reason you can hold my hand and take a trip back to the promised land never made you feel anything but wonderful I pulled a tooth you weren't ready to pull wrote you a letter saved a place in my soul I loved you better than the star of the show great weather on my little walk to the store need to pretty up my open doors

the streets of logan square have lost their flare since the little baby moved away and yeah, I was there acting like I didn't care just sent baby on her good ole way didn't even ask the baby to stay boy I should have asked the baby to stay I missed+ The theaters and the parks have lost their sparks since the little baby had to depart and yeah, I was said acting like I was glad Telling baby bought a brand new start didn't even ask the baby to park boy I should have asked the baby to park I missed+
7.	"Battle Of The Buldge" 02:03	lyrics	buy track
Thought unique was gonna hurt me again but it seems I have underestimated my friends yes it feels like a treat to see the shackles are gone and my heart at least will beat until the end of this song (this song) Theres a place around the corner we meet if you dont like that place we can walk down the street and maybe have a drink if you would like to indulge your in my history class we'll talk the battle of the bulge (the bulge) look at the street walker walking the street if the street talked it tell ya their just like you and me so you like to judge a person for the way that they stand you should use your higher moral ground and give them a hand (a hand) little baby wants to kiss me goodnight but I have to go to work so we can keep on the lights and read about our fathers unconditional love your in my history class we'll talk the battle of the bulge (the bulge)
