Social Distortion - Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell Album Lyrics



Social Distortion - Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell Lyrics






Cold Feelings

Uninvited feelings
They come without warning and they stay too long
I don't wanna feel, and if I run they'll be twice as strong.
I wait for a warning, I'm waiting for some kind of sign,
I try to separate , Try to separate my body from my mind.
I watch the clock as the second hand slowly goes strolling by.
I don't want to feel
When a loved one's time comes to die
I wait for a warning,
I'm waiting for some kind of sign
I try to separate, try to separate my body from my mind.

[Chorus:]
Cold feelings in the night
You know, this feeling just ain't right.
And though I try I just can't hide
Cold feelings in the night

Yeah I got faith,
But sometimes fear it just weighs too much I don't want to feel,
Cold winds blowin' through me with an icy touch.
I wait for a warning, I'm waiting for some kind of sign.
I try to separate,
Try to separate my body from my mind.

[Chorus 2x]

Bad Luck

Some people like to gamble,
But you, you always lose.
Some people like to rock 'n' roll,
You're always singin' the blues
You gotta nasty disposition,
No one really knows the reason why,
You gotta bad, bad reputation,
Gonna hang your head down and cry...

[Chorus:]
You got bad, bad luck
Bad, bad luck
You got bad, bad luck
Bad, bad luck

Thirteen's my lucky number,
To you it means stay inside.
Black cat done crossed my path,
No reason to run and hide.
You're looking through a cracked mirror,
No one really knows the reason why.
Your enemies are gettin' nearer,
Gonna hang down your head and cry...

[Chorus:]
You got bad, bad luck
Bad, bad luck
You got bad, bad luck
Bad, bad luck

Some people go to church on Sundays,
Others they pray at home.
You tell them that there ain't no God,
That they're better off standin' alone.
You're always scratchin' at the eight ball,
No one really knows the reason why.
You get to the top and then you fall,
Gonna hang down your head and cry.

Making Believe


Making believe,
That you still love me.
It's leaving me
Alone and so blue.
I'll always dream, but I'll never own you.
Making believe,
Is all I can do.
I can't hold you close,
Darling when you're not near me.
You're somebody's love,
You'll never be mine.
Making believe,
I'll spend my lifetime
Loving you
And making believe.

Born To Lose

I was brought in this world 1962,
I didn't have much choice you see.
But by the time I was eight,
I could tell it was too late,
I was already barking up the wrong tree.
When I was in school you thought I was a fool,
In trouble,
Breaking all the rules.
I was absent from class,
My daddy spanked my bare ass,
But I sure tried hard to be cool.

[Chorus:]
Born to lose, was what they said,
You know I was better off dead.
Born to lose, you're just bad news,
You don't get a second chance.

It was a hot summer night in mid July,
A hangover and a black eye.
Your momma said I was a loser,
A dead end cruiser, And deep inside I know that she was right.

[Chorus:]
Born to lose, was what they said,
You know I was better off dead.
Born to lose, you're just bad news,
You don't get a second chance.

I tried to get myself a job
Because that's the way that
Things are, wanna have nice
Things and go far. Well I'm sorry
Honey, I ain't got much money
But I can sure play this here old
Guitar. As the years went on,
I made a few mistakes it was a
Troublebound for this young
Man. The police knockin' at my
Door, "Well he don't live here no
More, and he's playin' in a rock 'n'
Roll band."

[Chorus:]
Born to lose, was what they said,
You know I was better off dead.
Born to lose, you're just bad news,
You don't get a second chance.

Bye Bye Baby

I believed I was wrong but baby
Now I know, you and your evil
Ways gotta go. Take the key and
Break away these chains of love,
And I'll thank the good Lord above.
The radio's playin' a sad song...

"Bye Bye Baby."

Well, maybe the others will
Believe your lies, you can tell
Those schoolboys your alibis.
And baby I'll catch you later on
Down the line, cuz maybe I got
Better things on my mind.
The band's playin' a sad song...
"Bye bye baby."

When She Begins

I was feelin' kinda beat, I decided
To hit the streets. I was lookin'
For a place for this heart of
Mine. Well I said to myself, oh
God this must be hell
I think I was slowly losin' my mind

[Chorus:]
Well round and round she goes
Where she'll stop nobody knows.
Y'know that woman put a spell
On me, but if you start me, start
Me, start me you can't stop me,
Stop me, stop me. When she begins
To rock, honey, I begin to roll

I was hangin' by the phone, tired
Of sleepin' alone
Baby tell me where did I go wrong? When
Minutes seem like hours and
Days seem like weeks, how could
A year last so f*cking long?

[Chorus:]
Well round and round she goes
Where she'll stop nobody knows.
Y'know that woman put a spell
On me, but if you start me, start
Me, start me you can't stop me,
Stop me, stop me. When she begins
To rock, honey, I begin to roll

I was hangin' with a couple
Of chicks, man I was just looking
For a place for this raggedy ol'
Heart of mine.

[Chorus:]
Well round and round she goes
Where she'll stop nobody knows.
Y'know that woman put a spell
On me, but if you start me, start
Me, start me you can't stop me,
Stop me, stop me. When she begins
To rock, honey, I begin to roll.

99 To Life

I'm broken hearted, I'm a broken
Man. Driven by anger, on that
Night I ran. I had me a woman,
I thought that she'd be true.
Now she's gone and left me, you
Know her life is through.

[Chorus:]
Lonely weekends, baby lonely
Nights the judge he gave me,
Ninety nine to life.

I wish she could be here, Lord if
She only could, instead she's
Layin' in a puddle of blood.
She was my baby, thought she'd be
My wife. I killed my baby, I killed
Her with my knife.

[Chorus:]
Lonely weekends, baby lonely
Nights the judge he gave me,
Ninety nine to life.

So alone I'm sittin' in my prison cell
Lord only knows now, I'm in
A living hell, the rest of my life,
In this penitentiary, the good
Lord above now, please have
Mercy on me.

[Chorus:]
Lonely weekends, baby lonely
Nights the judge he gave me,
Ninety nine to life.

King Of Fools

I was born a king of fools most
People think I'm just a playboy
Breaking rules. But they don't
Know that when it comes around
To love I always lose why
I call myself the king of fools.
I was born never to care but
Now I want a love that I can
Share. I've searched in vain for a
Love that would never be true
That's why I call myself
The King of Fools

[Chorus:]
King of fools, king of fools
That's why I call myself
The King of Fools.

I was born without a good
Thought just to live fast, tell a
Lie and break a heart. I have
Broken many hearts and I've
Broken many rules that's why
I call myself the King of Fools.
I was born the King of Fools
At any other game I never lose.
But when it comes around to
Love that's when I realize
I was born the king of fools.

Sometimes I Do

Sometimes I like you and
Sometimes I don't, I feel like I'm
Gonna and then I won't.
Sometimes I wanna live to see a
Hundred, other times I wanna lay
Down and die. Sometimes I'm weak
And sometimes I'm strong,
You know that I've loved all
Along. Sometimes I'm rich and
Sometimes I'm poor, nothing
Really matters when you're dead
On the floor. Sometimes I'm hot
And sometimes I'm cold,
Sometimes I feel like I'm getting
Old. Sometimes I'm fast and other
Times I'm slow, other times
I don't even want to go.
Sometimes I laugh and sometimes I cry, other times I sit and
Wonder why. Sometimes I'm up
And sometimes I'm down, other
Times
I wanna blow this town.

This Time Darlin

As I'm looking back on broken
Down dreams heartbreaks and
Memories that I've had. I made it
Through the hard times and came
Back a stronger man but this time
Darling it's just not the same

Down the lonely stairs with a
Suitcase in my hand misery can be
A heavy load.
I've made it through the hard
Times and in vain I made it back
But this time darling it's just not
The same

In the morning I was lonely but
Never bothered to cry never even
Stopped to wonder why leaving
Was just another part of the
Game but this time darling it's
Just not the same

In the morning I was lonely but
Never bothered to cry never even
Stopped to wonder why leaving
Was just another part of the
Game but this time darling it's
Just not the same

As I'm looking back on broken
Down dreams heartbreaks and
Memories that I've had. I made it
Through the hard times and came
Back a stronger man but this time
Darling it's just not the same

This time darling it's just not the same
This time darling it's just not the same
This time darling it's just not the same

Ghost Town Blues

Ever since my baby left me you
Know this ghost town ain't no
Fun no more she stole my heart
Away from me and then she
Dropped it on the floor my
Outside's tough, hellbent
Leather overcoat of what was
Once a man but inside's a little
Broken hearted boy whose
Feelings he cannot stand.

[Chorus:]
I've got these ghost town blues
With nothing left to lose
The noose swings high up on the
Gallows in the wind
I've got these ghost town blues

I feel like an undertaker dressed
In black but no one left for dead
She left me in a heartbeat
And now there's no one left to
Sleep in my bed where laughs and
Cries and memories were once
Now lie and tumbleweeds and dust
And an empty graveyard
Feeling that began once just as a
Childhood lust

[Chorus:]
I've got these ghost town blues
With nothing left to lose
The noose swings high up on the
Gallows in the wind
I've got these ghost town blues

My pontiac spit back feelings of
Contempt out the exhaust
A hundred miles an hour down a
Highway. Well I'm beat up and I'm
Lost she's gone and I know it,
Like an outlaw she ran for the
Hills and I'll start a brand new
Life with a new girl and these
Same old ghost town thrills.

[Chorus:]
I've got these ghost town blues
With nothing left to lose
The noose swings high up on the
Gallows in the wind
I've got these ghost town blues.

Alone And Forsaken

We met in the springtime
when the blossoms unfold,
the pastures were green
and the meadows were gold.
Our love was in flower
as summer grew on.
Her love like the leaves
now have withered and gone.
The roses have faded
there's frost at my door.
The birds in the morning
don't sing anymore.
The grass in the valley
is starting to die,
and out in the darkness
the whippoorwills cry.

[Chorus:]
Alone and forsaken
by fate and by man.
Oh Lord if you hear me
please hold my hand,
oh please understand.

Oh where has she gone to,
oh where can she be.
She may have forsaken
some other like me.
She promised to honor,
to love and obey.
Each vow was a plaything
that she threw away.

[Chorus]

The darkness has fallen,
the sky has turned gray,
the hound in the distance
is starting to bay.
I wonder, I wonder
what she's thinking of.
Forsaken, forgotten,
without any love.

[Chorus]

Mainliner 1992

Nothing she can do,
She's so confused something should be done,
But she'll refuse she's got a new fix,
To ease her pain she's got a new fix,
To control her brain
Oh, no no no mainliner,
Mainliner out of frustration,
She unwraps the foil takes out her spoon,
Starts to boil she used to be pretty,
To all her friends
But the hypodermic needle took her to the end
Oh, no no no mainliner, mainliner

She's boiling up,
Always in heat stick
It in again just to keep her beat

This time she'll try a little more
This time we found her on the floor
Oh, no no no mainliner, mainliner...

Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell is the fourth studio album by the American punk rock band Social Distortion, released on February 11, 1992. Following up on the surprise success of their breakthrough singles "Ball and Chain" and "Story of My Life", Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell became a popular album and received positive reviews from music critics. It also spawned their highest-charting single "Bad Luck", which peaked at number 2 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart.

Somewhere Between Heaven and Hell was one of the best-selling albums of Social Distortion's recording career, achieving gold sales certification in the United States by 2000, and by 1996, the album had sold 296,000 copies. It peaked at number 76 on the US Billboard 200 and topped the Heatseekers chart, and was also Social Distortion's last to feature drummer Christopher Reece, who left the band in 1994.
