Run Runaway
Words and music by Dean Carls
It was a hot night
Under the alley light
When I saw them running from the door
The rubber was burning
From the tires turning
Cause the pedal was to the floor
The shots rang out
Through a gun powder cloud
As the Cadillac drove away
Carrying the stakes
From a big money game
Life will never be the same
Run Runaway
Run Runaway
Run Runaway
They're coming after you
Run Runaway
Run Runaway
Run Runaway
They're catching up to you
The big bad wolf is catching up to you
Jackie had a plan
To make a stand
It was time for him to get ahead
Before it was through
He lost three of his crew
And himself would soon be dead
He was on run
And his world had spun
To a low he couldn't believe
A price on his head
He'd soon be dead
There was no one left he could appease
Run Runaway
Run Runaway
Run Runaway
They're coming after you
Run Runaway
Run Runaway
Run Runaway
They're catching up to you
The big bad wolf is catching up to you
He thought he was safe
In a hidden place
But they were waiting outside the door
Went for a walk
Now the outline chalk
Marks where his body hit the floor
A bullet in the back
It was a sneak attack
He never saw a thing
Now the legend lives on
From the streets on down
How you never mess with the king
Run Runaway
Run Runaway
Run Runaway
They're coming after you
Run Runaway
Run Runaway
Run Runaway
They're catching up to you
The big bad wolf is catching up to you

I Spy
Words and Music Dean Carls
I might tell you my name is Steve
I might tell you my name is Tim
But for all you know
My name could really be Jim
I'll do my very best
To play up my role
I can't risk blowing my cover
And my identity to be exposed.
I Spy
You Spy
Electric eye in sky
Gathering intel for the righteous side
I Spy You Spy
These days it's all to easy
I can get what I want through technology
The best thing is you know know a thing
How I'm intruding on your privacy
I'll watch you through your laptop
I'll watch you through your phone
I'll know when you're at work
And I'll know when you're at home
I Spy
You Spy
Electric eye in sky
Gathering intel for the righteous side
I Spy You Spy
I like to think of my work
As a civic duty of a higher form
To keep the world safe
Is the reason I was born
So keep thinking you're free
It's the norm we want you to believe
But the dignitaries all know
You're just another worker bee
I Spy
You Spy
Electric eye in sky
Gathering intel for the righteous side
I Spy You Spy

Rosabelle Believe
Words and Music Dean Carls
If I should ever leave
My spirit will always be
There by your side
To help and to guide
I'll come back to you
If it's the last thing I ever do
And so you'll know it's me
I'll say Rosabelle Believe
Please light a candle
And place it on the mantle
For as long as the flame burns
It's lights the path to my return
Because nothing means more
Than being with my mi amore
And so you'll know it's me
I'll say Rosabelle Believe
Bess don't you worry
I'll be back in a hurry
Just keep your faith
Harry won't make you wait
And if I'm nowhere to be seen
Hold a seance on Halloween
And so you'll know it's me
I'll say Rosabelle Believe

Let's Go Let's Go
C'mon baby grab your party dress
Let's Go Let's Go
It' doesn't matter if your hair's a mess
Let's Go Let's Go
Cause we don't have no one to impress
Let's Go Let's Go
Gonna go out and relieve some stress
Let's Go Let's Go
Gonna dress up to the nines
Let's Go Let's Go
Got my baby by my side
Let's Go Let's Go
Psychobilly Cadillac's in overdrive
Let's Go Let's Go
We're pulling out all the stops tonight
Let's Go Let's Go
My darling you look so divine
Let's Go Let's Go
We're gonna have the time of our lives
Let's Go Let's Go
Cause there's no place I'd rather be
Let's Go Let's Go
All that matters is that it's you and me
Let's Go Let's Go

Jolly Old Man
Words and Music by Dean Carls
I'm just a Jolly, a Jolly Old Man
Living in a manufactured can
I eat my din from out of a tin
My body's 90% sodium
But I like you and you like me and
I like you and you like me and you
I'm just a Jolly a Jolly Old Man
Out here doing the best I can
I drink me gin to wash away me sins
Can't even remember where I've been
But I like you and you like me and
I like you and you like me and you
I once had a lady who'd bugger me daily
Spike me morning coffee with Irish cream from Baileys
Till the day I caught her sisters fancy
Her name was Irene but I called her Nancy
But I like you and you like me and
I like you and you like me and you

Party in the Backyard
Words and music by Dean Carls
I've been waiting for this day all week long
Now it's time to get our shizzle on
Everybodys here and the musics loud
Sitting poolside talking in an O.G. Kush cloud
It's a Party in the Backyard
It's a Party in the Backyard
It's a Party in the Backyard
It's a Party in the Backyard
Tonight!
You smell the BBQ wafting through the air
Everyone looks familiar because your friends are all there
Uncle Joe is manning the grill, Aunties dishing out the grub
Crack open a cold one and declare lord this is love
It's a Party in the Backyard
It's a Party in the Backyard
It's a Party in the Backyard
It's a Party in the Backyard
Tonight!
Pass around the bottle and swig another round
The fire burns away as we watch the moon go down
Laughing, joking telling all our tall tales
When it comes to good times we never fail
It's a Party in the Backyard
It's a Party in the Backyard
It's a Party in the Backyard
It's a Party in the Backyard
It's a Party in the Backyard
It's a Party in the Backyard
It's a Party in the Backyard
It's a Party in the Backyard
Tonight!

Emmett Till
(Spoken word)
Emmett was just a boy
And it was his first time away from home
Going down to the Delta to see Uncle Moses
But he'd never make it back to Chicago
They beat him and broke his bones
They shot him in the head
Dumped his body in the Tallahatchee River
With no remorse he was dead.
Crosses in Mississippi were burning
Yet the world kept turning
A country stood aside ignoring
But Emmett Till we won't forget you
(Spoken Word)
They say he whistled at a white woman
But that ain't no excuse
For taking a 14 year old boys life
His killers deserved the noose
No justice was served in Sumner that day
As Emmett's killers walked away
The all white jury refused to convict
Emmett's killers because they were rascist
Crosses in Mississippi were burning
Yet the world kept turning
A country stood aside ignoring
But Emmett Till we won't forget you
Crosses in Mississippi were burning
A nation stood aside ignoring
While a mother wept in mourning
But Emmett Till we won't forget you
