99 (May Be All You Need) Lyrics by Jon Butcher

Pictures from the Front

0

Red lights flashin' on a neon sign
A barefoot messiah tries to beg a dime
A careless whisper, no second chance
For a thief of hearts in a failed romance
He thought fortune was a dream
You looked for in the streets
Well, one hundred’s hard to find
But 99 may be all you need
Whoa, yeah
There's a blue-haired women in a white sedan
Got a rhinestone collar and a diamond hand
She turned the corner on that midnight mile
So she buys the things that sparkle for a while
She says, "I'm just lookin’ for a fix
It's not a point of greed"
Yeah, agreed
A hundred's hard to find
But 99 may be all I need
Sure as every dog has his day
Somebody somewhere gettin' theirs someday
You put it on the line
But 99 may be all you need
Whoa, whoa, yeah
You hit the highway doin' about 95
You drive in circles and you cruise the dives
You chase your demons and lose the way
You feel you could do somebody some harm someday
You're runnin' out of reasons
To keep from fallin' to your knees
Yeah, your knees
A hundred may be comin’
But 99 is all you need
Sure as every dog has his day
Somebody somewhere gettin’ theirs someday
You put it on the line
But 99 is all you need
Yeah, go ahead
Sure as every dog has his day
Somebody somewhere gettin' theirs someday
You put it on the line
But 99 is all you need
Yeah
Slack-jawed rebel walkin’ down the street
Lookin' for a shelter or just enough to eat
Yeah
All you need
Half-drunk veteran lyin' on the beach
Can just make out the good life
Just out of reach
Yeah
All you need
And I'm haunted by temptation
Yeah, temptation callin’ me
100% of somethin', but 99 is all I need
Is all I need
Yeah, yeah
99, 99
99 is all I need
Yeah
99
