Wasn't Yesterday Great
(Gilby Clarke)
Sold my Stones 45's
And traded in my 'stang
I lost it all in a time warp
My generation boomeranged
Yesterday, was it great?
Stayed in bed in my hangover clothes
I couldn't get up for the day
Wasn't yesterday great
Dropping out of the machine
Walk the nuclear slide
Got a headache from the strobelights
An acid overdrive
Yesterday, was it great
Stayed in bed in my hangover clothes
I couldn't get up for the day
Wasn't yesterday great
Put a quarter in the pay phone
I buy all the lies
If forever is a moment
I'd sell tomorrow night
Yesterday, was it great
Stayed in bed in my hangover clothes
I couldn't get up for the day
Wasn't yesterday great
Wasn't, wasn't yesterday great

Black
(Gilby Clarke)
If I told you I could love you
I feel you'll think I'm weak
I never had a friend
Who was my lover
Honestly
When I wake up from my sleep
And I feel you next to me
I'm so happy inside
But I'll be crushed
If you leave
It's so black
It's so sad
No one understands my hell
It's so black
It's so sad
I'm a stranger to myself
See a man can hurt a woman
??? but you still forgive
But a woman who is unfaithful
Kills a man
Darkness fall on anyone
Who welcomes it
When you're in my bed
It's my home
And it's sacred
It's so black
It's so sad
No one understands my hell
It's so black
It's so sad
I'm a stranger to myself
No one understands my hell
It's my own
It's my own
It's so black
It's so sad
I'm always alone
'Cause no one
No one

Kilroy Was Here
(Gilby Clarke)
Kilroy was here, he cashed a check and
checked out
his asphyxilation was such a mess when he
was found
Did I do you wrong
I did you no wrong
chorus
I'm selling you what you sold me
Suffocate in the air you breathe
I'm selling you what you sold me
Suffocate in the air you breathe
I wish you were here to tell everyone
I can have your car
In all his doom, is the guilt in satire
Did I do you wrong
I did you no wrong
chorus
bridge
Falling off the world
It's the last thing I would do
I'd do the same if I was you
you used to be so cruel
It's the last thing that you'll do
chorus

It's Good Enough For Rock and Roll
(Gilby Clarke)
I never saw the trouble in front of me
I never felt the whip come down
Found my suicide motel room key
It took an ol' blind bloodhound
My record players broken again
The red lights flickerin'
If it's good enough for rock n' roll
Well it's good enough for me
If it's good enough for rock n' roll
Well it's good enough for me
Waiting for this liquor store thief
Just a lawyer in a fake pony skin
Stolen from yesterdays bleed
Bring your own bottle of sin
Thought I saw your silhouette
Buy my alcohol goggles are cracked
If it's good enough for rock n' roll
Well it's good enough for me
If it's good enough for rock n' roll
Well it's good enough for me
Tell me how you want it
I ain't getting down on my knees
Show me how you goy it
I ain't getting down on my knees
My record players broken again
The red lights flickerin'
If it's good enough for rock n' roll
Well it's good enough for me
If it's good enough for rock n' roll
Well it's good enough for me

Cure Me...or Kill Me
(Gilby Clarke)
When the first car hit the wall
Was the gulit still in or head?
In your magic crystal ball
Is the poweer that made you mad
You can't save yourself,
it's a pleasure cruise
You're damned for a million years
There's a viper in your bedroom
Under the sheets is tarantula fuzz
When she bites, she bites for murder
I bleed the Addams Family blood
There's a spell on me that I can't reverse
It's a sympathy cross you burn
Cure me.. Or Kill me..
But don't leave me here for dead Again
Cure me.. Or Kill me..
But don't leave me here for dead Again
This is your last happy Christmas
Your worst Birthday party
The cyanide in your poison ring
Wouldn't cure my misery
Don't bury me when I'm history
I think you'll find an easy way out

Tijuana Jail
(Gilby Clarke)
Welcome to salvation, my Tequila's my companion for this evening of
oblivion
Everyone around me, kinda bores me, it makes me lonely with the friends
I never had
Packing up my Mustang cuz' this city has no heart, it sucks you in and
spits you out
Patiently I'm seeking my destination is unknown, I followed the road
down to Mexico
Sorry Mr.Officer I think you got it wrong,
I'm just a lonely ol' Texas boy and I wanna get on home
He smiled and said "senor you're not in Texas anymore
Send my love to my home but send my mail to a Tijuana Jail
Staring at the ceiling of my jail cell it's my home, at least for now,
it seems like forever
Sleeping on the floor with the rats, crawling up my ass, I'm gonna kill
that officer
Sorry Mr. Officer but I'm gonna get revenge, on this side of the border
20 pesos get you dead
He smiled and said "senor I think I'll drink to your threats"
Send my love to my home, but sent my mail to a Tijuana Jail
In my destitution suicides a solution, but I'm a gambler, and I'm not
cashed in
The sun is going down and my problems will be solved by dawn, but not by
justice
I smelled liquor on his breath, I knew this is my last chance, I begged
give a dying man his last drink
He handed me a glass with just the worm and he laughed I pulled a
switchblade from my boot and shoved it in
his throat
Sorry Mr. Officer I think you got it wrong, I'm a lonely ol' Texas boy
and I wanna get on home
He smiled and said "senor you're not in Texas anymore"
Send my love to my home but send my mail to a Texas Jail.
