Lyrics From The Album:
SHOTS FROM A COLD NIGHTMARE

HOT NITE IN DALLAS
(Moon Martin)

I was born in a bass drum
Brought up by a guitar
My mama kept a house of hags
And my daddy dressed in drag

Chorus:

A hot nite in Dallas
Feel the southern wind
A hot nite in Dallas
And the sheets stickin' to my skin

Bodies laid in the gutter
Dark roll the moon
It shines through her gown
As the woman's taking me down

(Chorus)

Lay me in a pine box
In a dark desolate place
On a moonlit night
Nail a board above my face

(Chorus)

VICTIM OF ROMANCE
(Moon Martin)

A new girl checked into my school
I don't care I'm playin' it cool
Every one I had
Turned out so bad
Ooh when she spoke
I knew my heart was broke
Out in the street
Murdered at your feet

Chorus:

Victim
Victim
I'm a victim of romance

Homeroom study hall
I knew that I was gonna fall
Late at night I weep
Mumble in my sleep
Yeah knock on wood
Say I never felt this good
Heaven above
It must be love

(Chorus)

Cold blooded felony
Murder in the first degree
It's a crime
What she done to my spine
Yeah knock on wood
Say I never felt so good
Look out kid
That's what she did

(Chorus)

********************************************

NIGHT THOUGHTS
(Moon Martin)

I found my dream sinking away
The look in my eye was here to stay
You know I laugh too much to be real
It's only a screen to hide what I feel

Night thoughts
Night thoughts
Night thoughts are killing me

Closing day drifts into night
Things in my head don't come out right
How you used and cleverly took
What freedom I owned in just one look

Night thoughts
Night thoughts
Night thoughts are killing me

*************************************************

PAID KILLER
(Moon Martin)

I thought you were a friend of mine
Last night I seen you as your kind

Chorus:

A paid killer
A paid killer
Only twenty-five killin' me alive

The sun was dry the streets were hot
You laid me out in one cold shot

(Chorus)

Careful now of what you crave
It led me right into a grave

(Chorus)

************************************************

CADILLAC WALK
(Moon Martin)

When the moon comes up the sun goes down
Rita starts to creep around
Gets a flame in her blood fire on her breath
Fourteen names notched on her chest
She gotta rose tattooed on her thigh
Dead men raise and sigh
And it drives my young blood wild

My baby's got the Cadillac walk

When Rita turns down her bed
Grown men plead and beg
Baby honey baby you're the one
Carve your name right on my gun
Ain't she something nice
Bones rattle my dice
I slobber down my side

My baby's got the Cadillac walk

Lonely tonight honey hear my call
She said boy I won't make you crawl
Rita pound by pound
Knows how to work it down
Weep and cry to and fro
Leave your heart she'll steal your gold
No matter what the cost
Ooh...them duel exhaust
Make my motor sigh

My baby's got the Cadillac walk

BAD CASE OF LOVIN' YOU
(Moon Martin)

Hot summer night felt like a net
I got to find my baby yet
I need you to soothe my head
Turn my blue heart to red

Chorus:

Doctor, doctor give me the news
I gotta bad case of loving you
No pills gonna cure my ill
I gotta bad case of loving you

Pretty face don't make a pretty heart
I learned that buddy from the start
You think I'm cute a little bit shy
Mama I ain't that kind of guy

(Chorus)

I know you like it. You like it on top
Tell me mama are you going to stop
You had me down twenty one to zip
A smile of Judas on your lip
Shake my fist pound on wood
I got it bad and I got it good

(Chorus)

************************************************

HANDS DOWN
(Moon Martin)

I've been made mean with misery
What a fool you proved I could be

Chorus:

Hands down my strength is gone
Hands down I can't go on
You win hands down hands down

Now the moon rises in the sky
Somehow these tears got in my eye

(Chorus)

Remember September when you loved Johnny true
I'll never no no never let you see you made me blue
That's enough I've already paid
Promises they're too easy made

(Chorus)

****************************************************

YOU DON'T CARE ABOUT ME
(Moon Martin)

You never say you love me
I don't hear it at all
I don't know why
I'm fool enough to cry
Then comes the night
I get so low oh yeah I get so blue

I know you don't care about me

Walking in the streets
Lately I find
You in my heart
You on my mind
It's falling dark
I saw you with him
Oh how it struck me through

I know you don't care about me
Yeah you don't care about me

I know you've been laughing at me
Who cares it's finally through

I know you don't care about me
Yeah you don't care about me

************************************************

SHE'S A PRETENDER
(Moon Martin)

Telephone don't ring
I don't wanna hear, I don't wanna hear you ring
My baby's got long black hair
She lies about how much she cares

She's a pretender

Last night was wrong
Baby you done baby you done me wrong
Out of her boot she pulled a knife
Get back I'm gonna take your life

She's a pretender

There's talk around town
Mama you've been going down
Take a man's advice
You won't live to do it twice

Baby you got a pretty face
She got a pretty, she got a pretty face
You said you was so nice and all
Then I found you down in juvenile hall

She's a pretender
