FRUSTRATION ALLEY
FRUSTRATION ALLEY
THERE'S NO BEGINNING AND NO END
IT HOLDS YA DOWN AND TURNS YA ROUND
AND BRINGS YOU BACK AGAIN
LIKE AN OLD LOST PAIR OF WORN-OUT SHOES
IT FITS YOU LIKE A GLOVE
IT SAYS REMEMBER ME IT'S GOOD TO SEE
YOU BACK DOWN ON YOUR LUCK
FRUSTRATION ALLEY
IS WHERE THE BROKEN-HEARTED GO
TO GET THEIR SHARE OF HOPELESSNESS
AND ANOTHER FOR THE ROAD
AIN'T LIKE NO OTHER ALLEY
BUT YOU CAN FIND IT NIGHT AND DAY
SOMETIMES YOU DON'T SEE IT
BUT IT FINDS YOU ANYWAY
FRUSTRATION ALLEY
IT'S WHEREVER YOU MAY ROAM
IT'S NEVER ALL THAT HARD TO FIND
JUST LOOK FOR THE DEAD-END ROAD
BRING YOUR HEARTACHE AND YOUR SADNESS
YOUR HIGHS TURNED INTO LOWS
FRUSTRATION ALLEY
WHERE YOU'LL NEVER BE ALONE
FRUSTRATION ALLEY
IS WHERE THE BROKEN-HEARTED GO
TO GET THEIR SHARE OF HOPELESSNESS
AND ANOTHER FOR THE ROAD
AIN'T LIKE NO OTHER ALLEY
BUT YOU CAN FIND IT NIGHT AND DAY
SOMETIMES YOU DON'T SEE IT
BUT IT FINDS YOU ANYWAY
FRUSTRATION ALLEY
IF YOU'RE GOIN' MY WAY

CAN'T REMEMBER MY MEMORIES
FORGOT TO WRITE YOU ONE LAST LETTER
BUT NO ONE DOES THAT ANYMORE
ANOTHER NIGHT FEELING COLD AND BITTER
BUT ISN'T THAT WHAT NIGHTS ARE FOR ANYMORE
AND WHEN I TRY TO THINK ABOUT IT I COME UP DRY
IF I COULD TURN BACK TIME I WOULDN'T RECOGNIZE
A PAST THAT DIED
CAN'T REMEMBER MY MEMORIES
COULDN'T TELL YOU WHAT USED TO BE
WHATEVER HAPPENED IS HISTORY
THE ONLY THING I CAN SEE
ARE THE SHADOWS IN FRONT OF ME
CAN'T REMEMBER MY MEMORIES
IN THE YARD OUT BACK THERE'S A VOICE I CAN HEAR IT SCREAMIN'
CAN'T TELL WHO IT'S COMING FROM
THE BLOOD DEAD SKY RAINS A MASS CANVAS OF MURDER
FROM A POISON CUP I DRINK IT UP
AND I HAUNT THESE HALLS WITH THE GHOSTS OF YESTERDAY
AND IT'S ONE MORE JOKE BEFORE I FADE AWAY
IT'S JUST ANOTHER DAY IN HELL
CAN'T REMEMBER MY MEMORIES
COULDN'T TELL YOU WHAT USED TO BE
WHATEVER HAPPENED IS HISTORY
THE ONLY THING I CAN SEE
ARE THE SHADOWS IN FRONT OF ME
CAN'T REMEMBER MY MEMORIES

JUST A LITTLE TOO LATE

JUST A LITTLE TOO LATE
NOW THAT THE NIGHT HAS COME
ARE YOU SATISFIED WITH THE BED YOU MADE
DO YOUR DREAMS HELP YOU TO FORGET
DO THEY SET YOU FREE FROM THE PRICE YOU PAID
THE WIND CRIES SOFTLY AS IT STINGS
IS YOUR HEART STILL TOO DEAD TO FEEL
IN YOUR BED OF THORNS DO YOU CRY FOR ME
SILENTLY
JUST A LITTLE TOO LATE
A LITTLE TOO LATE
WHY WHY DID YOU WAIT
WHY DID YOU WAIT
YOU THOUGHT YOU HAD LOTS OF TIME
BUT IT'S THE FINAL TICK AND YOU'RE OUT OF IT
REMEMBER ME IN YOUR BOOK OF LIES
ANOTHER PAGE TURNED ON LOVE'S GRAVESITE
SHADOWS CHASE THE MEMORIES HANGING ON YOUR WALL
WE COULD HAVE HAD IT ALL
TO START AGAIN YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO CRAWL
I THOUGHT I HEARD YOU CALLING
JUST A LITTLE TOO LATE
A LITTLE TOO LATE
WHY WHY DID YOU WAIT
WHY DID YOU WAIT

POCKETFUL OF DUST
I WANNA KNOW WHEN DID YOU DECIDE
TO TAKE IT ALL DOWN TO WHERE THE SHADOWS HIDE
DIDN'T YOU BELIEVE ME WHEN I SAID DON'T LEAVE ME
NOW LIFE GOES ON WITHOUT YOU AND THERE'S NOTHIN' I CAN DO
TELL ME WHY
WHY DID YOU LET IT DIE
WHEN WAS OUR LAST GOODBYE
DIDN'T WANNA SEE YOU CASHIN' IN YOUR DREAMS
FOR A POCKETFUL OF DUST AND A BROKEN MEMORY
TELL ME WHY
WHERE WAS THE TRUTH YOU HOPED TO FIND
I PRAY IF YOU DO THE TRUTH IS KIND TO YOU
I KNOW IT'S HARD TO HOLD ON WITH A HEART OF GOLD
IN A WORLD SO FULL OF HATE AND DEMONS AT YOUR GATE
TELL MY WHY
DIDN'T WANNA SEE YOU CASHIN' IN YOUR DREAMS
FOR A POCKETFUL OF DUST AND A BROKEN MEMORY
TELL ME WHY
WHY DID YOU LET IT DIE
YOU COULDA TRIED JUST ONE MORE TIME
