LYRICS from the album 'JIM WILSON'BLEEDINGBaby please try and understand
I carry a bleeding love in my hands
Can’t seem to reach you from where I stand
Written pages, hotels and stages
Can’t get the message through
Taxis and backseats, drinks to relax me
All I can think of is you
I sure hate to separate
Tell me is it my fate?
Baby please try and understand
I carry a bleeding love in my hands
Bound to fall from where I stand
Shattered moonbeams shoplifting my dreams
Where can I run to now?
Misconception, definition seems to be different than mine
Is it too late to speculate?
Is it my fate?
Baby please try and understand
I carry a bleeding love in my hands
Can’t seem to read you from where I stand
Your opinion, never near ya
Sometimes I disagree
Reminiscing, not revisiting
Seems like a burden for me
Is it too late to make my case?
Is this my fate?
Baby please try and understand
I carry a bleeding love in my hands
Can’t seem to reach you from where I stand

HONEST MISTAKEAll the fun we had in the city
And all the fires we burned for a thrill
It seems to me that you’re afraid of losing
To prove you have control you shoot to kill
You talk to him now and then just to check in
And I have to pretend like I don’t even exist
I always seem to be laughing at my pain
Right through the heart then give it a twist
I guess promises were made to be broken
And a dream is just a dream when you awake
And you can’t blame me for making an honest mistake
I don’t have the time to sit and argue
I got a million things to do today
I am not in the mood for another lecture
Besides we said all there is to say
And this time around I point the finger at you
Have these guilty feelings wiped away
Invite your demons out to keep you company
Hope it’s not too hot in your hell today
I guess promises were made to be broken
A dream is just a dream when you awake
You can’t blame me for making an honest mistake
I guess promises were made to be broken
A dream is just a dream when you awake
You can’t blame me, no you can’t blame me
For making an honest mistakeMusic and lyrics by Jim Wilson (Rats Spam Music ASCAP)

THINGS ARE LOOKING UPI won't go there anymore in case I might see ya
And God knows if I saw you today I wouldn’t want to be ya
How can I trust you when you do me like that?
Hissing at me like an alley cat
Yeah, you’ve gone too far this time
So I’m moving up to the front of the line
Things are looking up, since you walked out the door
Things are looking up, and I don’t cry anymore
Things are looking up, thought I was losing my mind
Things are looking up, I’m tired of wasting my time
Jump into the golden river and drown all my misery
I’m turning into someone that I never want to be
Gathering up my strength I’m starting today
Keep on pushing, nothing gets in my way
Girl you’ve gone too far this time
So I’m moving up to the front of the line
Things are looking up, since you walked out the door
Things are looking up, I don’t cry anymore
Things are looking up, thought I was losing my mind
Things are looking up, I’m tired of wasting my time
No more looking down
Pick me up off the ground
Got to break, breakin’ out
Of this blue funk that I’ve found
Extract myself from all of these surroundings
My mind is racing, my heart is pounding
Things are looking up, ‘cause I don’t cry anymore
Things are looking up, things are looking up
Things are looking up, thought I was losing my mind
Things are looking up, and I ain’t wasting no more time
Things are looking upMusic and lyrics by Jim Wilson (Rats Spam Music ASCAP)

HOLDING OUT FOR LOVEHoldin’ out for love
Holdin’ out for you
I’ve been holdin’ out for something
I can hold on to
The tug of war between us
The space that you invade
The price for my tomorrow
With lonely tears I’ve paid
Holdin’ out for love
Holdin’ out for you
I’ve been holdin’ out for something
I can hold on to
A lonely heart is screaming
A mime in reverse
Laughed when I was crying
I’m not sure which is worse
Holdin’ out for love
Want to get up, get up for you
Want to get up, get up for you
Want to get up, get up for you
Want to get up, get up for you
Want to get up
Holdin’ out for love
Holdin’ out for you
Holdin’ out for something
I can hold on to
Rivers of tears I’m weeping
My soul’s already drowned
I’m looking for somebody
To turn it all aroundMusic and lyrics by Jim Wilson (Rats Spam Music ASCAP)

HOT SHOTDancing Charlie’s new soft shoe shuffle
Found himself in an uptown scuffle
With an underage star of stage and screen
But I say my, my, my
I won’t say nothing
I promise not to tell a soul
Hot Shot, show me what you got
Cause it’s really getting out of control
It won’t be long ‘til we find out who’s the whore
Up swept Tallulah with a drink in her hand
Trying to rob a man of his wedding band
But nobody cared and nobody dared to stop her
And she said my, my, my
I won’t say nothing
Your secret is safe with me
Hot Shot, show me what you got
Don’t take it away from me
And time will tell who’s going to hell
Mario’s crazy and it sure gets hazy
When you’re jumping off the Emser Tile
This town will kill you if you let it
Don’t you let it make you crazy
My, my, my
I won’t say nothing
Your secret is safe with me
Hot Shot, show me what you got
But don’t take it away from me
Hot Shot
Show me what you got

CRY NOW (PAY LATER)I wouldn’t blame you for all my struggles
I’ll share some responsibility
A future of darkness was all that was visible
A brighter empty was all we could foresee
When the karma is dealt out
I’m sure I’ll pay for that
But I only have to cry now
The strongest temptation swept me up with its tide
Crashing down around me like a storm
Sit back and watch it crumble all around us
And while the empire falls the King is gone
Now the fire has gone out
I know I’ll pay for that
But I only have to cry now
When the bottom has dropped out
I know I’ll pay for that
But it’s my turn to cry nowMusic and lyrics by Jim Wilson (Rats Spam Music ASCAP)

KILLERThere’s no need to have an alibi
Unless you’re leading a reckless life
I’d like to think my suspicions are wrong
But sometimes the truth cuts like a knife
All of a sudden I turn and you’re gone
And everyone in the room is all alone
Where you walk I’ll be following
Turn around, I’m right behind you girl
There’s no mistaking
Your heart is breaking
Out on the ledge and there is no edge
You are the victim
The blood is trickling
She’s on the loose and there ain’t no use
She’s a killer
There’s no warning sign
It’ll grab a hold of you
And throw you both out on the street
Me and my sanity too
There’s no mistaking
Your heart is breaking
Out on the ledge and there is no edge
You are the victim
The blood is trickling
She’s on the loose and there ain’t no use
You know you want it-She knows she got it
You can’t deny it-Stand up and try it
Don’t you deny it-Get up and try it
You can’t deny it-Get up, try it
She’s a killer
She’s a killer babyMusic and lyrics by Jim Wilson (Rats Spam Music ASCAP)

CONVICTEDOn the other side of midnight, there in the corner
Is the girl of my dreams, object of my desire
It’ll crack you up, my desperate situation
Because it’s funnier than Lenny Bruce or Richard Pryor
I’m tried, it’s true Convicted
Guilty of loving you Convicted
Driving in my car stuck in the traffic on Sunset
I know your whereabouts, I know where you’re going to
I fixate on the back of your head through the window
Just give me a chance, girl let me prove it to you
I’m tried, it’s true Convicted
Guilty of loving you Convicted
Nobody saw the attack
She got a knife in the back
There’s nothing you can do
Tried, true, convicted by you
Before I started walking I learned how to run
She spat in my face as I pulled out my gun
Don’t try to scream, I’ll rip out your tongue
My Daddy said, "Son, make sure you get what you want"
Park on the street, a block away from your front door
My hands grip the wheel, heartbeat’s the only sound
Creepin’ around, sneakin’ a peek through your window
Pull down the shades, better not turn around
I’m tried, it’s true Convicted
Guilty of loving you Convicted
Nobody saw the attack
She got a knife in the back
Cry as I cut off her hair
I’m gonna throw her downstairs
Make sure the door has been locked
Don’t answer if someone knocks
There’s nothing you can do
Tried, true, convicted by youMusic and lyrics by Jim Wilson (Rats Spam Music ASCAP)

BUS 27Stare at the sun and wonder why
Do you shine your light on me?
Bus 27 take me to town
Where you can shine your light on me
They want their day in the sun
Don’t wanna live under the gun
A place to be somebody
That’s what they want
Looking at the rain and wondering why
Do you cry down on me?
Bus 27 take me home
Where they shine a light on me
I wanna rise like the sun
So many rains are gonna fall
It’s Wonderland or bust
Forget about all that’s said and done
Changing places, faces, hands of time
Color scheme, elevate sublime
Marching in a line that’s single file
Blind leading the ones who are not blind
All that I’m looking for
Is someone who knows what the truth is
Help me find a way
Take me away from hereMusic and lyrics by Jim Wilson (Rats Spam Music ASCAP)

LET IT RUN THROUGH YOULet it run through you, see what it can do to you
It’s in you now and you gotta get it out
Can you hear the music, tell you what to do with it
Gotta find a way to share this thing I found
Fascinating to me
Harmony with the melody
All I want to do is sing
Let it run through you, see what it can do to you
It’s in you now and you got to get it out
Can you feel the music, show you what to do with it
Gotta find a way to share this thing I found
Vibrations violating me
Involuntarily
Without a choice I close my eyes and let the music flow
Let it run through you, see what it can do to you
It’s in you now and you gotta get it out
Can you hear the music, tell you what to do with it
Gotta find a way to share this thing I found
Let it run through you
Let it run through me
Let it run through you
I need music in my lifeMusic and lyrics by Jim Wilson (Rats Spam Music ASCAP)

RUN & RUNRun and run, you won’t get far
Run and run, where you are
Run and run, you’re gonna fall
Run and run, you can’t get there
Run and run, in despair
Run and run, you’re going nowhere
Don’t move and nobody will get hurt
I got the gun but nobody gets hurt
Put down the phone
Pick up the pace
The movie’s begun
Let’s cut to the chase
Don’t move and nobody will get hurt
And you just keep on
Run and run, you’re fading fast
Run and run, from your past
Run and run, you’ll finish last
Run and run, you’re out of breath
Run and run, it’s sudden death
Run and run, you’re dripping sweat
Don’t move and nobody will get hurt
Love is dangerous, it’ll kick you to the curb
I can’t get to sleep
I can’t sit still
Swallow my pride
It’s a better pill
Don’t move and nobody will get hurt
You just keep on
Run and run, you never win
Run and run, I lost again
Run and run, I’m wearing thin
Run and run, you never stop
Run and run, until you drop
Run and run, come out on topMusic and lyrics by Jim Wilson (Rats Spam Music ASCAP)
