Damaged Goods

DAMAGED GOODS - Written By Carroll Bryant

I know you think to yourself that

Maybe you got a keeper

Some one who magically fell into your world

And you think I am a sleeper

You look at me with great potential in your mind

You're crazy if you believe it

I'm not who you think I am

I'm not even close

You're living in a wonderland

Maybe even more than most

I may not be a villian

But I'm no hero in disguise

I'm just a man who is trying to live his life

I know you think I can save you

And maybe to point, I should

I don't know how you can't see it

I'm scattered like damaged goods

You can't see how I linger

You're crazy not to leave me

I'm not who you think I am

I'm not even close

You're living in a wonderland

Maybe even more than most

I may not be a villian

But I'm no hero in disguise

I'm just a man who is trying to live his life

You won't back away

You claim that you're not scared

You turn off all the things I say

Like you don't even care

You're moving past reality

Living in your fantasy

Close your eyes and think about it

You look at me with great potential in your mind

You're crazy if you believe it

I'm not who you think I am

I'm not even close

You're living in a wonderland

Maybe even more than most

I may not be a villian

But I'm no hero in disguise

I'm just a man who is trying to live his life

Hungry For More

HUNGRY FOR MORE - Written by Carroll Bryant

It's Saturday night and I'm bored as Hell

There's nothing to do in this town

I wanna hook up, but I'll be damned

You don't seem to be around

Was it something I did or something I said

You know my words have a mind of their own

Our love can't tell if we're alive or dead

But you know that I hate to being alone

You're that something that I need

You're so hot that I can't believe

I get so excited when I see you, baby

Everything that matters just walks out the door

I can't get enough and that's no maybe

You always leave me begging and hungry for more

You break the rules and I break the law

It always feels like we're Bonnie and Clyde

Running in the shadows or running into walls

It seems like we can never find a place to hide

I look to the West and I look to the East

It's difficult for me to look everywhere

I fancy the chance to feel like your beast

But messing with you is like a truth or a dare

You are the thing that I can't deny

You are so sweet and I don't know why

I get so excited when I see you, baby

Everything that matters just walks out the door

I can't get enough and that's no maybe

You always leave me begging and hungry for more

It's Saturday night and I'm bored as Hell

There's nothing to do in this town

I wanna hook up, but I'll be damned

You don't seem to be around

You're that something that I concede

You're so hot that I can't breathe

I get so excited when I see you, baby

Everything that matters just walks out the door

I can't get enough and that's no maybe

You always leave me begging and hungry for more

I get so excited when I see you, baby

Everything that matters just walks out the door

I can't get enough and that's no maybe

You always leave me begging and hungry for more

 

Work It Out

WORK IT OUT - Written by Carroll Bryant

I've seen enough to know that

I've seen way too much

I know enough to see that

I don't know anything

It's all about the attitude

Only a few think that love is real

Mostly I'm rude, but I don't care

Emotions are just the way that we feel

Work it out

Work it out with me

Why don't we work it out?

I'll give you something for that heartbeat

I've played around enough to learn

That playing can be so hard

I think a lot to think that

I don't think enough

It's all about the gains you keep

You don't have to bet every hand

Mostly it's true, I have an ace up my sleeve

Luck is meant to always be grand

Work it out

Work it out with me

Why don't we work it out?

I'll give you something for that heartbeat

It's all about the attitude

Only a few think that love is real

Mostly I'm rude, but I don't care

Emotions are just the way that we feel

Work it out

Work it out with me

Why don't we work it out?

I'll give you something for that heartbeat

Work it out

Work it out with me

Why don't we work it out?

I'll give you something for that heartbeat

Hate Me

HATE ME - Written by Carroll Bryant

The first thing I noticed about you

Is that your eyes are so serious

That's the moment I couldn't live without you

And now it's clear I'm delirious

I am the kind of guy

Who never likes to say goodbye

Always living for the romance of it all

Don't hate me because I'm beautiful

Hate me for your broken heart

I walk away because it's casual

And I finish what I always start

I put my spell on you

(And baby)

Now it's through

(It drives you crazy)

Don't hate me because I'm beautiful

Hate me for your broken heart

Every time I fall in love

You know I really just fall in lust

I'm the guy who eats the pie

But I never touch the fucking crust

It's just the way I am

Pulling off a lovers scam

I don't mean to, it's just the way it is

Don't hate me because I'm beautiful

Hate me for your broken heart

I walk away because it's casual

And I finish what I always start

I put my spell on you

(And baby)

Now it's through

(It drives you crazy)

Don't hate me because I'm beautiful

Hate me for your broken heart

And you will never want to see me again

And we never will be anything more than friends

It's the manner in which I'm built

A little romantic piece of shit

I am the kind of guy

That only seems to watch them cry

Always living to watch them fall apart

Don't hate me because I'm beautiful

Hate me for your broken heart

I walk away because it's casual

And I finish what I always start

I put my spell on you

(And baby)

Now it's through

(It drives you crazy)

Don't hate me because I'm beautiful

Hate me for your broken heart

Remote Control

REMOTE CONTROL - Written by Carroll Bryant

A sly eye in the afternoon and classes are underway

It's never too late to shoot the moon

And put my ass in your sling

You always say that making love is like flying in 3-D

I like to think I'm as smart as I am

But I don't know what the hell that means

You got my heart

You got my soul

You get what you want with your remote control

Volume up, volume down

I see what's going on

There's always a cowboy in every town

And I'm the rodeo that you joined

Can't keep it simple even if we try

Banks refuse us a loan

It's in the bedroom where we do or die

We keep breaking our beautiful bones

You got my heart

You got my soul

You get what you want with your remote control

You got my heart
You got my soul
You get to call all the shots with your remote control

There's no door leading us out and Lily is my biggest tease

I could write a book all about it

But I know you wouldn't sign the release

So put it on the line or hold it up 

In the air because you know that I like your smell

Take me again on the kitchen table

For everyone we leave our trail

You got my heart

You got my soul

You get what you want with your remote control

You got my heart
You got my soul

You get to call all the shots with your remote control

 

Tori, Tori, Tori

TORI, TORI, TORI - Written by Carroll Bryant

Tori, Tori, Tori

In your glory, glory, glory

It's always Tori, Tori, Tori

We're just getting it on, tonight

I swear that you're an animal

Maybe even cannibal

I might be the same way

Because your body drives me crazy

Prove to me you're flexible

And I'll become so gullible

To everything you sell me

Because your body is my slavery

Tori, Tori, Tori

In your glory, glory, glory

It's always Tori, Tori, Tori

We're just getting it on, tonight

Tori, Tori, Tori

In your glory, glory, glory

It's always Tori, Tori, Tori

And I'm holding you so tight

Sex in the flesh

In a flash, I'm a mess

You test my heart and mind

My mouth on your thigh

Juices running dry

Only to come again the next time

Tori, Tori, Tori

In your glory, glory, glory

It's always Tori, Tori, Tori

We're just getting it on, tonight

Tori, Tori, Tori

In your glory, glory, glory

It's always Tori, Tori, Tori

And I'm holding you so tight

You get me so excited that I lose all of my control

Passion gets ignited so fast my heart beats itself

Right out of my soul

I swear that you're an animal

Maybe even cannabal

I might be the same way

Because your body drives me crazy

Tori, Tori, Tori

In your glory, glory, glory

It's always Tori, Tori, Tori

We're just getting it on, tonight

Tori, Tori, Tori

In your glory, glory, glory

It's always Tori, Tori, Tori

And I'm holding you so tight

Tori, Tori, Tori

And I'm holding on for dear life

 

 

Vicious Lips

VICIOUS LIPS - Written by Carroll Bryant

I try to keep myself on the down low

Because I suffer from sexual vertigo

It doesn't help that you keep hanging around

The girl in the short dress sneaking into my house

I already know what the neighbors think

I'm addicted to love and pretty in pink

No sooner we meet and start to kiss

You strike me out with your vicious lips

Can't keep a secret to save my life

Welcome to the new world paradise

Can't even hide in the dead of the night

Welcome to the new world paradise

Welcome little girl, better close your eyes

It's hard to keep quiet in a whisper to breathe

While you're slapping the nasty right out of me

No small wonder the cat's out of the bag

Loud as you are and you are so bad

We dance this way for something to do

A few good days and the monkey is through

You bite my tongue because you are a bitch

I taste the blood of your vicious lips

Can't keep a secret to save my life

Welcome to the new world paradise

Can't even hide in the dead of the night

Welcome to the new world paradise

Welcome little girl, better close your eyes

When enough is enough and I want to quit

You come back into town with your vicious lips

Can't keep a secret to save my life

Welcome to the new world paradise

Can't even hide in the dead of the night

Welcome to the new world paradise

Welcome little girl, better close your eyes

Shocker

SHOCKER - Written by Carroll Bryant

Give it to me good

Take what you wanna take

Sending out a shock wave

Every time you touch me

Every time you rock me

It's a shocker

Shock me

Do it like you should

Make what you need to make

Love inside a shock wave

Everyday you shoot me

Everyday you save me

It's a shocker

Shock me

In a time continuum

There is no millennium

Only variations of space

Running your experiments

Isn't constituting shit

History is being erased

Stop trying to impress me

Maybe just undress me

Unleashing all the magic from your heart

Ignite the kind of fire

That you find inside desire

Only then can we play in the dark

Give it to me good

Take what you wanna take

Sending out a shock wave

Every time you touch me

Every time you rock me

It's a shocker

Shock me

Do it like you should

Make what you need to make

Love inside a shock wave

Everyday you shoot me

Everyday you save me

It's a shocker

Shock me

Nowhere does the label say

That you must find a way

To wash and wear me out of the skin

Hopelessly I desperately

Breathe in all your DNA

Miraculously everybody wins

Negativity is wrong

And I've been waiting for so long

To drown inside your romantic pool

Color me a clown, okay?

Watch me, I won't runaway

Don't think that you can paint me the fool

Give it to me good

Take what you wanna take

Sending out a shock wave

Every time you touch me

Every time you rock me

It's a shocker

Shock me

Do it like you should

Make what you need to make

Love inside a shock wave

Everyday you shoot me

Everyday you save me

It's a shocker

Shock me

It's a shocker, shock me

Shock me like you love me

On My Own

ON MY OWN - Written by Carroll Bryant

This is the way I feel

Everything's coming up green

Or gray

Are you for real?

You play with emotions

You play with my heart

My thoughts keep swimming in ocean's

Slamming into the rocks

I'm on my own, again

I'm not alone

I still got one more friend

I'm on my own, again

And I'm ready to go home

This is the what I know

Everyone is small to start

 Or tall

Is this a joke?

You are the token

You are my dream

My values are broken 

As I'm Running away from the scene

I'm on my own, again

I'm not alone

I still got one more friend

I'm on my own, again

And I'm ready to go home

Can somebody take me home?

I don't know where to go

I know that you know it

So, where do I go?

I'm moving so fast while you're talking so slow

I know it, I know it

I know that you know

So, where do I go?

I know that you know

This is the way I feel

Everything's coming up green

Or gray

Are you for real?

What is the deal?

I'm on my own, again

I'm not alone

I still got one more friend

I'm on my own, again

And I'm ready to go home

I'm on my own

I'm on my own

I'm on my own

And I'm ready to go home

Fighting Dragons

FIGHTING DRAGONS - Written by Carroll Bryant

It's just a thing in the way they are

Another mystery

It's the things they say that is so bizarre

Inside their flattery

Business as usual

Bringing everybody down

It's so unusual

How fast they seem to get around

In this D.C. town

Blood in the streets

Blood in the air

Hate is so sweet and they breed it everywhere

Blood in their eyes

Blood in their lungs

Hate is their prize, and they're having so much fun

Make up my mind when you show disrespect

Try and look away

Time after time with the President elect

They love to play those games

Business as usual

Burn everybody to the ground

It's so unusual

How they lose everything they ever found

In this D.C. town

Blood in the streets

Blood in the air

Hate is so sweet and they breed it everywhere

Blood in their eyes

Blood in their lungs

Hate is their prize, and they're having so much fun

They don't care about democracy anymore

They just throw everything down on the floor

They don't care about our freedom

And that's for sure

They just kick everything they believe

Right out of the door

Business as usual

Bringing everybody down

It's so unusual

How fast they seem to get around

In this D.C. town

Blood in the streets

Blood in the air

Hate is so sweet and they breed it everywhere

Blood in their eyes

Blood in their lungs

Hate is their prize, and they're having so much fun

Thinking that everyone is dumb

And they're having so much fun

Business as usual, bringing everybody down

Falling Like A Star

FALLING LIKE A STAR - Written by Carroll Bryant

I never thought about it before

Because I never believed in love

I caught my breath the moment that you looked at me

And somehow that was enough

A feeling can take forever and a day

Or a second to last forever

So many will claim to feel that way

And to want to stay together

Falling like a star

And who knows if we will ever get that far

As long as we know who we are

Two hearts falling fast

Falling like a star

I will not pretend

That it doesn't bother me, today

Because of all of these loose ends

Will be vacuumed and swept away

The further that we run

The harder that we make things

And it's true

It's only just begun so there's no need

To be so blue

Falling like a star

And who knows if we will ever get that far

As long as we know who we are

Two hearts falling fast

Falling like a star

I refuse to listen to the voices in the night

Can't win for losing when you put up a fight

 I refuse to surrender to the moment of my life

Because the moment doesn't feel right

When the moment doesn't feel right

A feeling can take forever and a day

Or a second to last forever

So many will claim to feel that way

And to want to stay together

They just want to last forever

Falling like a star

And who knows if we will ever get that far

As long as we know who we are

Two hearts falling fast

Falling like a star

And who knows if we will ever get that far

As long as we know who we are

Two hearts falling fast

Falling like a star
