Uh-huh, uh-huh Uh-huh, uh-huh My baby’s gone and I’m moving on So get ready for the next adventure The only thing I learned keeping on Was nothing good came from good behavior I’ve been around enough to know what I want From the hipster queens to the debutants Those Midwest girls sure can hold you tight Before they steal your faith or show you the light Now listen few rock harder than I rock harder But few rock harder than she rock rocked me yeah Few rock harder than I rock harder, but Few rock harder than she rocked me yeah Uh-huh, Uh-huh Well dance floor junkie just wants to get her fix Hey Rock N Roll Outlaw!

When I was there, you didn’t think that I cared
 You didn’t know I was scared to show how I felt.
 You thought I was a stupid boy giving you the runaround.

 So baby let me be clear. Oh baby let me be near.
 The only sound I want to hear is your sweet love song
 Not some back and forth that leads to the runaround.

 You know I love you so much (It’s a stone cold fact)
 I want you right now (I’m gonna get you back)
 So if I right this wrong, don’t give me the runaround.

 You know I talk to myself when you’re not around.
 I miss you so much since you left town
 And if I had it all back, I’d do it a little different now.

 Don’t wanna make you upset. Don’t wanna live with regrets.
 Because I can’t forget how good it feels
 To have your love – to have you around

 You know I love you so much (It’s a stone cold fact)
 I want you right now (I’m gonna get you back)
 So if I sing this song, don’t give me the runaround.

 Because sunrise doesn’t last all morning
 And sometimes winters last through May
 And then the only thing to do is step back
 And start anew and this time 
 Don’t let the moment get away

 Cuz at night I lie awake
 Wondering how much, how much you can take
 Until – until your heart breaks
I wondering how much – how much you can take?

 You know I love you so much (It’s a stone cold fact)
 I want you right now (I’m gonna get you back)
 So if I write this song, don’t give me the runaround.
 And if I sing this song, don’t give me the runaround.
 And if I right this wrong, don’t give me the runaround.

Don’t think that I am just immune – unobservant of the things you do Outside, I’m stressing. Inside, you keep me guessing. What’s certain baby, I have got to get to you. Last night you held me oh so tight. Now I wonder where you are tonight. Counting back down the hours, hoping things haven’t soured, Please tell me baby, what am I to do? I’m the first in line. I’m coming up. Now is the right time And I’m certain it’s gotta be clear to you. So don’t shut me down. Don’t shut me up. Don’t make me your clown. Hear me calling. I gotta get to you. Mixed signals whether I should stay – too good for me to walk away. It’s your cue so just kiss me. If I’m gone, you know you’d miss me. We’re too deep now baby, so you just can’t turn me loose. I’m the first in line. I’m coming up. Now is the right time And I’m certain it’s gotta be clear to you. So don’t shut me down. Don’t shut me up. Don’t make me your clown. Hear me calling. I gotta get to you. Don’t make me wait. Forgive mistakes. We both want this to happen. Give me a try. Don’t pass me by. Out love is not a weapon. I’m the first in line. I’m coming up. Now is the right time And I’m certain it’s gotta be clear to you. So don’t shut me down. Don’t shut me up. Don’t make me your clown. Hear me calling. I gotta get to you. Hear me calling, I’ve gotta get to you.

Road Warrior 02:20
I know we’ve got a big storm coming and it’s all right. You won’t see me running. It’s a long time I’ve been here with you. I know you don’t care about me. When did that ever stop me ever from running with you. You always play your cards like you’re on your own. Like some road warrior who’s lost her home, You always play that part. That’s how you stole my heart, but maybe I just got it wrong. I know we’ve got a new day dawning. You didn’t see it coming. Good thing I am looking after you. Anger won’t make it better. We traveled through red weather. Blues skies are what I offer you. You always play your cards like you’re on your own. Like some road warrior who’s lost her home, You always play that part. That’s how you stole my heart, but maybe I just got it wrong. You always play your cards like you’re on your own. Like some road warrior who’s lost her home, You always play that part. That’s how you stole my heart, but maybe I just got it wrong. I know we’ve got a big storm coming and it’s all right. You won’t see me running. It’s a long time I’ve been here with you. I know you don’t care about me. When did that ever stop me Ever from running with Ever from being with Ever from loving you.

Every boy she ever loved ran away or died, But baby I’m a fool for her, I can’t be satisfied And yonder St. Sebastian pulls an arrow from his side Saying, “Man, I thought I had it rough, but she left you crucified.” I met her on a summer’s day down at Judas Road Like a vision from a distant song, I can’t recall the notes A melody so sweet, it caught me in my throat She played me a song and I gave her my coat And when the wind blows, she opens up her heart. It’s like a cyclone. Wherever you are, will call home? Well, I just thought you should know I still love her so With danger all around me, I was hypnotized But I feared for nothing, cuz I thought our souls were tied Through the forest, through the river that grows so dark and wide, I woke up in the morning; she had vanished in the night. And when the wind blows, she opens up her heart. It’s like a cyclone. Wherever you are, will call home? Well, I just thought you should know I still love her so A distance grows between us, I’ve searched so many miles Through the dusty streets of Moscow, she’s always on my mind. Well how did I get here? Only God knows What happened to that girl of mine I met on Judas Road. And when the wind blows, she opens up her heart. It’s like a cyclone. Wherever you are, will call home? Well, I just thought you should know I still love her so I still love her so

Vampire Girl 02:36
Vampire girl where do you run?
 The night ain't over until you've had your fun.
 You sink your teeth into my neck
 You drag your nails across my back

 You leave me howling a the moon
 One thing is certain girl I better get home soon

 Vampire girl, your love's too rich
 You make me shake, you make me twitch.
 I think I love you a little too much.
 You got me begging for your touch.

 You leave me howling a the moon
 One thing is certain girl
 I better get home soon
 You leave me howling a the moon
 One thing is certain girl
 I better get home soon

 Vampire girl where do you run?
 The night ain't over until you've had your fun.
 You sink your teeth into my neck
 You drag your nails across my back

 Vampire girl (yeah yeah)
 Vampire girl (yeah yeah)

At the party, you were a bad host. Everybody treats me like a ghost Cuz I haven’t seen that movie. I haven’t read that book And I don’t think the same way, so I must be a crook. A cold shoulder is all I get, besides the stale smoke from your cigarette. Your lies flow like vomit from your mouth. I think I better get going. This night is headed south. And at the party last night (who-oh-oh-oh) You weren’t very nice No I’d rather be alone Rather stay at home with my record collection. Cuz I love the hi-fi. You’re friends don’t even try And I don’t feel a connection, so I’ll see my way out. Yeah I see who you really are from your vintage grey boots to your PBR. We had magic for a moment, but the moment’s lost its thrill And I feel the night coming and I think I’ve had my fill. And at the party last night (who-oh-oh-oh) You weren’t very nice No, I’d rather be alone Rather stay at home with my record collection. Cuz I love the hi-fi. You’re friends don’t even try And I don’t feel a connection, so I’ll see my way out. And I’ll find my way home. As my record spins round and round, it’s okay to dance alone. Cuz there’s truth in the music that electrifies my soul So let my record spin round and round, yeah it’s okay to dance alone. And at the party last night (who-oh-oh-oh) You weren’t very nice No, I’d rather be alone Rather stay at home with my record collection. Cuz I love the hi-fi. You’re friends don’t even try And I don’t feel a connection, so I’ll see my way out. (I’ll see my way out) I’d rather be alone Rather stay at home with my record collection. Cuz I love the hi-fi. You’re friends don’t even try And I don’t feel a connection, so I’ll see my way out. I’ll see my way out. I’ll see my way out.

If Napoleon were here, he’d want to fight me. Shakespeare’s pen would try to out-write me. But lucky, they’re dead so they can’t do much for you. The way that we’d meet – the metropolitan center The snow covered streets – I’d dare you to enter A better scene on any movie screen Oh Helen of Troy, I’d start a war for you. And Cleopatra, I’d burn Rome down too. When I’d stutter my speech, I’d try to fill in A story or line that I stole from Dylan, but Quickly I’d see that he don’t impress you. Your black cocktail dress, the silent reminder Of blue reflected in silver eyeliner The jealous sighs as I left the room with you Oh Helen of Troy, I’d start a war for you. And Cleopatra, I’d burn Rome down too. And everyone wants you, you see But they don’t love you like me – no At the gates of hell, they tried to indict me The fourth of July, they tried to ignite me But I’d never burn brighter than you Oh Helen of Troy, I’d start a war for you. And Cleopatra, I’d burn Rome down too. As I ran through the hills with your name on my breath With a melody line I’d not soon forget I asked myself was it good enough for you?

Every time I see your picture, I get a funny feeling in my head. With no reason or rhyme, I go back in time. I fall in love all over again. You’ve been with me for a long while and you’ve a got a beautiful soul. You took a chance, you held your stance and your heart is never cold. I think really like me Like I really like you So if you really want me You know I want you too You know I want you too And when we go out walking, we’re no ordinary pair. If they can’t understand, we won’t meet their demands and frankly I don’t care. Cuz we’re independent thinkers and our minds just won’t be caged. We see through the lies. We see with new eyes. We see the flaws of the modern age. I think really like me Like I really like you So if you really want me You know I want you too You know I want you too We stay out late, we’re up all night. We can go downtown cuz the kids are alright They’re still alright Every time I see your picture, I get a funny feeling in my head. With no reason or rhyme, I go back in time. I fall in love all over again. I think really like me Like I really like you So if you really want me You know I want you too You know I want you too Every time I see your picture, I get a funny feeling in my head. With no reason or rhyme, I go back in time. I fall in love all over I fall in love all over I fall in love all over again.

In the early morning, she brings the sweet sunshine. All through the night, she draws constellations and with the dawn I realize She got soul, Hey! oh yes she does. She got soul. So tell me sister bluebird where my heart, my heart should go She brings me sweet, sweet elation. I feel it deep, deep down I know She got soul, Hey! oh yes she does. oooh! She got soul. And swear her love never disappoints. I swear her love never disappoints me. Hey! She got soul. Oooh she got soul! In the early morning, she brings the sweet sunshine. All through the night, she draws constellations and with the dawn I realize She got soul, She got soul, She got soul, Oh yes she does – soul!

Revenge 02:28
You sadistic bastard
I fought through the plaster
 Your moment of truth comes faster and faster A sweet little Indian rescued my skin
 And now little man it's Custer's last stand
 And I brought the Indians baby

 Yeah, I am out for revenge
 And from this point on 
 We are no longer friends
 And I, I'm counting from ten
 You better run through that door and never
 Come back again

 Well, pistols are smokin'
 Windows are broken
 You're trying to breath, 
 But now you're just chokin'
 The more you conceal
 The more you reveal
 It's time that you kneel 
 Cuz I'm finally feelin' alright

 Yeah, I am out for revenge
 And from this point on 
 We are no longer friends
 And I, I'm counting from ten
 You better run through that door and never
 Come back again

 You were looking for some sick satisfaction
 But you ain't gonna get it from me
 I know you're thinkin' that you got it all covered
 But man you're just a disease
 So don't be hidin' round no fire escapes
 Or parading round my backdoor
 We all heard what you've been saying about
 And it's gonna take a little bit more

 Yeah, I am out for revenge
 And from this point on 
 We are no longer friends
 And I, I'm counting from ten
 You better run through that door and never
 Come back again

 Yeah, I am out for revenge
 And if I did it once I can do it again
 Between me and my degenerate friends
 Yeah if we did it once, 
 We're gonna do it again

 Na na na na . . .

What does it take for you to understand The many shades of blue I waited, I waited, I waited Just for you I sat alone on a summer night For a call that never came through If you heard that I, that I broke down What would you do? Cuz I waited, I waited, I waited On a dream that never came true I waited, I waited, I waited Just for you I wake up late in the afternoon On those days I don’t sleep through In my dreams I saw So many shades of blue So I ran away to a foreign land But I swear I still saw you In the faces of the passersby All that June Cuz I waited, I waited, I waited On a dream that never came true I waited, I waited, I waited Just for you Well, I waited for you in Africa I heard you had an affair with some prince in Tangiers Eleven hours in the desert sun And it all to become clear So I drank my mind away in Italy In Sorrento in a sleazy sea-front bar Was only there it was clear to me I saw the beauty in a fading scar So tell me baby do I cross your mind? Do you take a moment to just rewind? Oh tell me baby do I cross you mind all the time? Oh tell me baby do I cross your mind? Do you take a moment to just rewind? Oh tell me baby do I cross you mind all the time? You cannot rewind to the first time I think from this point You’ll have to think for yourself You cannot rewind to the first time Girl you can’t go home again Girl you can’t go home again this time You cannot rewind to the first time I think from this point You’ll have to think for yourself You cannot rewind to the first time Girl you can’t go home again Girl you can’t go home again What does it take for you to understand The many shades of blue?

Oh Sweet Marie I can hardly forget How we rode subway trains and smoked cigarettes I held you for a moment, in a moment You stole my heart. There are gamblers down at the Devil’s Arcade Saying, “If it’s custom built, then there’s money to be made.” Don’t listen to what they’re saying when I’m saying, “You stole my heart.” So tell me that you feel the same Don’t tell me that it’s time change With a love so untame My broken heart can’t walk away Away We drove my car through the sunflower fields. I held you every night and felt my wounds heal. It only took a moment, in a moment You stole my heart. So tell me that you feel the same Don’t tell me that it’s time change With a love so untame My broken heart can’t walk away Away Something in the way that you walk How you speak, how you talk Has got me falling all over Something about you brings me to life Makes me sharp, helps me write And I know I can’t walk away Away Oh Sweet Marie though the distance may grow, Reach out and I’ll find you. I thought you should know That it only took a moment, in a moment You stole my heart. So tell me that you feel the same Don’t tell me that it’s time change With a love so untame My broken heart can’t walk away Away, Away, I know I can’t walk away.

Flying too close to the sun is the only way girl I learned how to love. I was trying to get you back home, but you left me here girl to fend for my own. What do you do? What do you say? It’s a sweet game that you play. What do you see? Is it too far? We want to be great big stars. When it goes down Will you be ‘round Well, the truth that I’ve found is a scar Oh girl, you made your mark Why are you haunting my dreams? It’s not fair to me girl? But what does it mean? Just a hot and then cold love affair. It’s clear to me girl that you really don’t care What do you do? What do you say? It’s a sweet game that you play. What do you see? Is it too far? We want to be great big stars. When it goes down Will you be ‘round Well, the truth that I’ve found is a scar Oh girl, you made your mark I want you here with me! I want you here with me! I want you! I want you! I want you here with me! Flying too close to the sun is the only way girl I learned how to love. What do you do? What do you say? It’s a sweet game that you play. What do you see?

I want you here with me! I want you! I want you! I want you here with me! Playing too fast with my heart. If you’re wondering girl, you made your mark.

The devil you don’t know The devil you do You see me coming I’m coming after you Between the devil you don’t know And the devil you choose You see me coming I’m coming after you And you know how it feels You know how it feels You can run, you can hide But we know deep inside We’ve got the devil at our heels Police lights flashing And you don’t know why But when a heart stops beating You need an alibi Don’t answer questions Or give your name Ain’t nothing crazy Just a world insane And you know how it feels You know how it feels You can run, you can hide But we know deep inside We’ve got the devil at our heels Until the last remaining light, I stand defiant to the night Through six counties I have run The sheriff told me, “Hold up there son. You have to answer for what you’ve done.” I said, “Man, you know how it feels . . . Running with the devil at your heels.” You know how it feels You know how it feels You can run, you can hide But we know deep inside We’ve got the devil at our heels You can run, you can hide But we know deep inside We’ve got the devil at our heels The devil at our heels

4:30 wake up call I stumbled on a new kind of redemption When I was singing protest songs But did I take the time to mention That I have found that December Like November is the time for lovers And I’ll admit I’m feeling better And everyone seems to wonder why? I’m searching for something that is real And makes you feel good all over And I’ll take all the love that I can steal To feel good all over And I could understand if she walked away But I am asking her to stay And when I’m walking with her My heart beats just a little bit stronger And when I know it’s time to go Well I want to stay just a little bit longer Cuz I – I can’t remember that last time That I had it this good So we’ll just keep on laughing cuz we all know She’s better than I deserve And I’m searching for something that is real And makes you feel good all over And I’ll take all the love that I can steal To feel good all over And I could understand if she walked away But I am asking her to stay Oooh I’m asking her to stay with me And I’m searching for something that is real And makes you feel good all over And I’ll take all the love that I can steal To feel good all over And I could understand if she walked away But I am asking her to stay And I’m searching for something that is real And makes you feel good all over And I’ll take all the love that I can steal To feel good all over And I couldn’t stand the thought of her walking away So I am asking her to stay I’m asking her to stay I’m asking her to stay I am asking her to stay

The moment I wake up I think of the break up My baby is gone, so sad we can't make up Since she left me, nobody gets me They say she's a bitch I should be glad I'm free But I break down when no one's lookin' And everybody knows there's trouble cookin' Cuz I still wish she was mine (I really wish she was mine) I try, but inside I'm cryin' I still wish she was mine (I really wish she was mine) I sigh, cuz I can't deny it I go to a party, but I just feel lonely I wish I was home, in case she might phone me I'm trying to cope, but I feel no hope She's really got me at the end of my rope And my friends say I gotta act tougher But the more I deny it, the more I suffer Cuz I still wish she was mine (I really wish she was mine) I try, but inside I'm cryin' I still wish she was mine (I really wish she was mine) I sigh, cuz I can't deny it And I can't think about her being with some other man (Some other man) There were things just between us No one else understands (No one else understands) And I break down when no one's lookin' And everybody knows there's trouble cookin' Cuz I still wish she was mine I try, but inside I'm cryin' I still wish she was mine I sigh, cuz I can't deny it Cuz I still wish she was mine (I really wish she was mine) I try, but inside I'm cryin' I still wish she was mine (I really wish she was mine) I sigh, cuz I can't deny it I can't deny it.

Lisa, you are such a tease, cuz you could get me high or bring me to my knees. You're a bird. You fly, but you don't see: You'll never ever get the best of me. You're good lookin' so you know that I will cave. I am no stranger to your ways. Met a million just like you before. I won't be coming around your door. Cuz Lisa, you are such a tease, cuz you could get me high or bring me to my knees. You're a bird. You fly, but you don't see: You'll never ever get the best of me. If you want to come over, baby I don't care. Cuz we make plans, but you're never there. If you want to come over, well that'll be fine. Maybe we can waste your time instead of mine? Cuz Lisa, you are such a tease, cuz you could get me high or bring me to my knees. You're a bird. You fly, but you don't see: You'll never ever get the best of me. Cuz there will always be an ocean between and I know you'll never cross. I swear to God that I'm gonna be famous, so I guess it's just your loss. That said, honey I got time – I'll take you anywhere you wanna go, But time has shown me that you're a bit of a flake and I just thought you should know . . . Cuz Lisa, you are such a tease, cuz you could get me high or bring me to my knees. You're a bird. You fly, but you don't see: You'll never ever get the best of me. No! Don't you know that you could be my baby and I could be your lovin' man? You could be my baby and I could be your lovin' man, but . . . Lisa, you are such a tease, cuz you could get me high or bring me to my knees. You're a bird. You fly, but you don't see: You'll never ever get the best of me. No! No-no-oh-oh! No-no-oh-oh! No!

And so my story begins - a river can flow - a river may end Come into my ocean. Come swim in my heart. We were brought together. We were ripped apart. But I won't be crying baby over you Won't hear me crying baby it's true But you've got to hurry Oh come on girl, you've got to hurry Oh come on! When all love's labors is lost Will we be bitter counting the cost? Let's get back together's the moral of my story If you want a happy ending Come on bring back the glory But I won't be crying baby over you Won't hear me crying baby it's true But you've got to hurry Oh come on girl, you've got to hurry Oh come on! I see the sun. It slips away. Covering the road from where we came, But darlin' darlin' don't you cry I'll get you safe to the other side And so my story begins - a river can flow - a river may end Come into my ocean. Come swim in my heart. We were brought together. We were ripped apart. But I won't be crying baby over you Won't hear me crying baby it's true But you've got to hurry Oh come on girl, you've got to hurry Oh come on! You've got to hurry Oh come on girl, you've got to hurry Oh come on!

And the voice in my head said rock was dead I said shut up cuz you're a homewrecker Let it fill up your speakers. Let it blow up your mind. And if you wanna kill me, you better get in line. Get in line! Cuz there's a war goin' on not inside of my brain And people dying and people in pain And you wanna find an undying truth But the way we're living, what's the use? What's the use? Little Voices, little voices Undercutting all of my choices He said she said What's going on? Is tomorrow the setting sun? Setting sun I was deader than disco, caught out in the rain Trying to cover all the blood stains But the truth you cannot hide Like when I stare into your cocaine eyes Your cocaine eyes Little Voices, little voices Undercutting all of my choices He said she said What's going on? Is tomorrow the setting sun? Setting sun I'm gonna be there when you need me Love you completely - that you cannot doubt Eyes of love, you are staring, enter arms so caring You cannot doubt I'm gonna catch you when you burn out Little Voices, little voices Undercutting all of my choices He said she said What's going on? Is tomorrow the setting sun? Setting sun

Holy Roller Stone Revival Some bring their pistols Some bring their Bibles But they are marching for their own justice Some find peace in their own war I've seen a sinner bein' called a preacher I've seen a good man put through hell But they're all trying all dying to meet you All teach you what they got to sell And I've seen in all! I've seen it all! Good God! I've seen it all! I've seen it all! Seen it all! Well, I thought I'd seen it all. Holy Roller Stone Revival Just went marching straight through Ohio Took a turn in Memphis To talk to Elvis, but he don't live there anymore. Clarabella, she's a dancer And I've seen God in the way she moves If it's in the song she sings well I'll believe anything She says, "It don't matter boy, you know you're gonna lose." And I've seen in all! Seen it all! Good God! I've seen it all! Seen it all! Seen it all! Well, I thought I'd seen it all. Well, I woke up this morning And it hit without a warning And I knew that you were gone Well, depression is so scary, But I hear it's temporary Gotta keep on keepin' on So when you're feeling suicidal Turn on the revival and pray For some kind of change Cuz if the people start talking Or least just start walking They can bring home Bring home a better day But don't lose sight in the arena Bright lights will steal your soul And when the ship goes down I hope you hear this sound And you know exactly how the song goes Sing it! And I've seen in all! I've seen it all! Good God! I've seen it all! I've seen it all! I've seen it all! Well, I thought I'd seen it all. Holy Roller Stone Revival Should I bring my pistol? Should I bring my Bible? Am I just marching for your own justice? Some find peace in their stupid wars!

about

This year marks ten years since the release of my 2012 sophomore album 'Sugar & Adrenaline'. It features some of my best known songs such as “Record Collection,” “Helen of Troy,” “Road Warrior” and more. This Friday, February 4th, exclusively on Bandcamp, I will be releasing an expanded version of the record. The deluxe edition features the original album, plus the Nashville-recorded 'Devil at Our Heels' EP and an unreleased full concert live recording from the Philadelphia date of the Sugar & Adrenaline Tour! Musically, 'Devil at Our Heels' was always a coda to 'Sugar & Adrenaline' and it feels natural to include it on this version. The Philadelphia show features the classic lineup of the Albino Winos made up of Alex, Joe and Sarah. I recently remixed the multitrack recording and it is a fun rockin’ document of the tour. The 'Sugar & Adrenaline: Tenth Anniversary Deluxe Edition' will not be on streaming sites and must be purchased as a digital download on Bandcamp.

Money made from the sale of this album will go to funding the expenses of my next album. I appreciate your support and I hope you enjoy this journey through the past as it assists in funding the future.
