Now listen up people, I met a woman, I laid it on real thick, She was eating up what I put down, And things got heavy quick, Went out of me way to spoil her, Was nothing I wouldn't do, Even tried to put a fucking ring on her finger, Thought she'd be me final root... But then she said goodbye, Took leave of my life, I was spewing as I watched all my dreams swiftly dissipate, But I think of freedom gained, From doors slammed in my face, And all the skirt now mine to chase... Got in a bingle one morning, After a night on the piss, A truck came roaring through a give way sign, Cleaned me up and fucking knocked me for six, Johnny hoppers came to report it, "Just give us one long breath... righto", Stared down the barrel of a DUI, As I blew 0.110... So my fate was decided, My plans were all turned to shit, I lost my job and my license, Fully hit the skids, But when I thought about it real hard, Black clouds were silver lined, And all roads had led to this... And in my darkness I could see, Paths that went unwandered and choices poorly made, But a trick of the light, Made all too plain, Bullets that lay in chambers still, Etched with my name... So I guess that's where the lesson of the story lies, You're not in charge of which way the jism flies, You can only play the ball that you have been bowled, And make the most of the result...

Blueballin' 02:17
No-Doz crushed for snortin', A fiver sweeps the dash, Can't afford to be exhausted, Not paid to crash, Tonight I'm interstate, Tomorrow who can say? Chances are I'll cop a root or fine, Or both along the way, Ya might've glimpsed me gunnin', Bulldog in ya rearview, Mack badge on the front end juttin', Coloured him red, white and blue, I've got me two logs runnin', One stashed beneath me seat, There ain't no fuckin' stoppin' and sure as hell no sleep... Coz I'm blue ballin', I need a heavy combi ticket for the freight I'm haulin', I've got a hot load, hot load, baby! I said I'm blue ballin', I like to pull my horn when the traffic's crawlin', I'm cartin' D.G 's, threatenin' to explode, I'm backed up, backed up, Itchin' to unload! I'm southbound with a semi, Cash on delivery, UHF on channel 40, Highways wind on endlessly, I'm wide awake and hyperfocused, The days roll by but I don't notice, Grind 'em til ya find 'em, Swivel-footed double clutchin', Another dock, another depot, Couplin', uncouplin', These eighteen wheels churn on! Hellbound and hammer down... Coz I'm blue ballin', I need a heavy combi ticket for the freight I'm haulin', I've got a hot load, hot load, baby! I said I'm blue ballin', I like to pull my horn when the traffic's crawlin', I'm cartin' D.G 's, threatenin' to explode, I'm backed up, backed up, Itchin' to unload!

Murky Waters 04:48
Black water spirit, Ravening for flesh, A curse, a scourge, A malady, harbinger of death, A ghost that haunts the billabong, And stalks the waterways, By night and gloom, Under pale moon, it feasts... Some say it gorges on the blood of children, Who, by grim twist of fate, stray into it's path, Is it a myth, a fable, a cautionary tale, Or memories of predators past? All that's known to be true, it's a spelling of doom, If you hear it's howl split the dark... Murky waters... Ensnared in its grip, Powerless to resist, A creature possessing of terrible strength, It tortures its prey, slowly dismembering, Tearing with tooth and tusk, Renders to pulp and guts, Drunk on the fear, And the ecstasy of the hunt, The catch, And devourment...
