She is negative as can be
And she's weak emotionally But she kissed me And she put it there She's got a chip on her shoulderblade And her attitude makes me afraid But she kissed me And she put it there She kissed me there The way no other girl has kissed me there She kissed me there The way no other girl has kissed me there When I'm bare She kisses me there When she bets She'd never hedge She likes walking on the razor's edge But she kissed me And she put it there She likes rap and metal really loud And she makes her other home girls proud But she kissed me And she put it there She kissed me there The way no other girl has kissed me there She kissed me there The way no other girl has kissed me there When I'm bare She kisses me there She kissed me there The way no other girl has kissed me there She kissed me there The way no other girl has kissed me there When I'm bare She kisses me there She's as simple as a girl can be Yet she has a cool complexity But she kissed me And she put it there When she met me I was still a boy Now I'm an older woman's toy Because she kissed me And she put it there |

Now do you love me like you say you do baby?
(Do you love me like you say you do?) Listen baby, until I find the river I won't be satisfied with who I am In my Monasteryo your love ran hot or cold Symphony or damn I wanna be careful not to lose by laughter What I've gained by tears So here's a question baby You answer I most need to hear Now do you love me like you say you do baby? (Do you love me like you say you do?) I give my best to the best of your breed Take my heart pretty baby I believe that I have all that I need I exist for you wholly in this hour As the leaves exist Surely for the sake of the flower Now do you love me like you say you do baby? (Do you love me like you say you do?) It seems that you have all these emotional dragons That you must slay I believe your daddy didn't treat you right So it seems now TTD must pay The troubles advance while the sorrows retreat Yet whichever road you travel baby I genuinely wish you godspeed But before you go answer my question Now do you love me like you say you do baby? (Do you love me like you say you do?) |

Baby let me share my love
Baby let me share my love Baby let me share my love Baby let me share my love My best lines Working on her, working on her overtime Working on her, working on her clever mind Working on her, working on her sleek lines She's sure fine As fine as Whitney Houston in the daytime Working on her, working on her big time Looking at her, looking at her waistline Baby let me share my love Baby let me share my love Baby let me share my love Baby let me share my love My last dime Working on her, working on her phone line Working on her, working with the best wine Working on her, trying to help her unwind She's so fine As fine as Cleopatra in her black prime I think about her so much people, I'm a go blind Working on her, looking at her waistline Baby let me share my love Baby let me share my love Baby let me share my love Baby let me share my love Jesus/Allah/Krishna/Buddha loves you So not this time but next time I'll be kicking out a poet's rhyme Picking on her, picking on her grapevine Working on her, looking at her waistline She's real fine As fine as Nefertitti in her black prime Working on her, working on her bed time Working on her, working on her Working on her, working on her Baby let me share my love |

Delicate like rain
Delicate like snow Delicate like birds Delicate just so Delicate like air Delicate like breeze Delicate like you and me A delicate advance A delicate retreat Delicately planned Delicate like peace Delicate like a touch That's delicately brief Delicate like you and me Delicate like trinkets on her bracelet (Like trinkets on her bracelet) Delicate like a bracelet on your arm (Like a bracelet on your arm) Delicate like sweet arms around me (Your sweet arms around me) Delicate like me on top of you Delicate like words Delicate how time So delicately runs Then delicately dies Delicate how eyes So delicately breathe Delicate like you my dear Delicate like me my love Delicate like you and Delicate like me and Delicate like Delicate like you and me |

She never wanted to be my neon messiah
She never wanted to be my neon messiah I saw the blood dripping from your caring hands I prayed it wasn't more blood Than your month could stand I didn't hear you say Kick my pedestal away She never wanted to be my neon messiah She never wanted to be my neon messiah I saw you suffocating in a wordless pain A whoreMadonna martyr is all that remains If Oedipus could rise He'd probably try me on for size She never wanted to be my neon messiah She never wanted to be my neon messiah Roll over tell Stravinsky She lost herself to please me I can't handle intelligent women They're far too deep to swim in She never wanted to be my neon messiah She never wanted to be my neon messiah |

Wet your lips
And let's fall in love You are beautiful to me Wet your lips and let's do a thing With a view to make your spirit sing I have come to be your man In a strange and hostile land So wet your lips And let's fall in love And stay with me Wet your lips And let's fall in love You are blood and wine to me Wet you lips And let's do a turn With a view to make your body burn I'll rebuild the scenery Into garden greenery So wet your lips And let's fall in love And stay with me Wet your lips And let's fall in love You're the molecular soul of me Wet your lips And let's dip your wings Into shapes of many things I have come to bring new life And to help you squeeze it from your slice So wet your lips And let's fall in love And stay with me I will feed you like a bird From the mouth of my dying words So wet your lips And let's fall in love Wet your lips And let's fall in love Wet your lips And let's fall in love Stay..... Girl you take me higher Yeah you take me deeper Girl you take me higher |

You chose with age
To speak with a prima ballerina's rage And speak of all the kingdoms That would swoop down Stick around Then proceed to ignore you No flash pot pan, guitar man Or resurrected Apollo myth To seal your fate Feed your plate And just plain worship and adore you But the pills you swill Bring you no thrill So travel lightly on the wing this time Leaving all your baggage behind As you wander through your vagabond stage And find yourself shovelling shit With a rusty jack-handle queen of a broken spade You must not be afraid You must turn the page You wore your goddess down In jaundiced disarray Your halo fell into decay Swiped by those you loved But could not hold in sway behind you And then the dry spell leaves At a low shutter speed Long enough for you to see That you create your own reality And that the wait alone will not enshrine you And the war that you swore Would pour through your door To come to your rescue this time Is all in your mind Now as you wander through your vagabond stage And you find yourself shovelling shit With a rusty jack-handle queen of a broken spade And you find yourself kicking dirt around With your Paris green pumps Of pentacles and precious jade You must not be afraid You must turn the page You dreamt a world of things Like you were a duchess born Or Coretta Scott King And the queen does not invite you over for a tea at her gaff In Scotland Or in Buckingham's back-yard Now I'm sure 'Van the Man' of whom I'm a fan Can surely understand As he said "It is not why, it just is." So therefore you need not remain scarred And in time you'll find That your salvation is mine As you travel lightly on the wing this time Leaving all your baggage behind Now as you wander through your vagabond stage And you find yourself shovelling shit With a rusty jack-handle queen of a broken spade And you find yourself kicking dirt around With your Paris green pumps Of pentacles and precious jade Pulling the roots from your hair Dyed from a bottle You saw in a windows with An 'Everything must go!!' sale sign Prominently displayed And yet waiting for your dancing On the edge of a precipice heart to sing Those serenading soul songs That fulfillingness and consciousness brings Releasing you from your captive cage Replacing love for all your rage Turning your hope on a rope's magic pope kaleidoscope Into a rabbit's foot parade You must not be afraid (Eyes forward babe) You must turn the page One thing is sure And that is change When the water's rising You can't remain Move to dry land Move to dry land You've got to move on |

She was a paragon of soft scented chinois curls
She stood with nothing on As we watched my flag unfurl We fell in love so fast That it spun my head around Her coffee tawny skin Sent my blood pressure up and down Castilian blue Castilian blue I never ever thought I'd be so taken by a girl like you Lavender scented pillows Gave a smell to her room That when I smell it now Sends my heart into a sad mood Black men and her commitments She had a problem with And the mention of her father Would cause her to get very miffed at me Castilian blue Castilian blue I never ever thought I'd be so taken by a girl like you Bon bons and fishnet stockings Used to settle any score Till one day I felt the breeze awake me Coming in through an open door Recurring dreams I see her in Mirabella Magazine Multi-coloured babies Running round behind her knee She's long, long, gone Castilian blue Castilian blue I never ever thought I'd be so taken by a girl like you |

I know that it's your own life
I tell you this With an eye on your future Yes I know Mind my own business But I am here As an aid and a comfort I can see what you're going through 'Cause we've all been there before But all in all Here's that I'm wondering I want to know Are you happy? Look me in the eye And answer my question I want to know Are you happy? Or are you afraid Of decisions that you need to make? I know that life's about choices But making a wrong one Will not stop the world When in doubt just live the questions And someday you will grow into the answer You're allowed as many mistakes As you need to learn and move on Well, well, well now ponder this 'Cause my heart is ringing a bell I want to know Are you happy? I'm coming to you from Heartbeat Avenue I wanna know Are you happy, Or are you running From decisions that you need to make? I wanna know Are you happy? Can I be of service? What can I do to help you now? I know life's a bitch sometimes But you got to take it in Chew it up And spit it out again You got to accept the pain You can't get around it You can't get under it But you can get over it |

Whoever you are come forth
Come forth These are the days that must happen to you Come forth I am a spirit Up above your head Though I rest in you As though you were a bed In a molecular world In an electric state I sing the praise of angels And I sit and wait for you Baby, baby, baby Succumb to me Baby, baby, baby Succumb to me Give me your tears I'll keep them in a glass I'll store them with the treasures That I've amassed Give me your ears I have secrets to tell I will make you hear the delicate bell All around you Baby, baby, baby Succumb to me Baby, baby, baby Succumb to me Give me your anger And I'll soften the tone I am the kiss that grows Where love is shown I am the mirror That reflects your flickering flame So follow me through your mirror frame Baby, baby, baby Succumb to me Baby, baby, baby Succumb to me These are the days that must happen to you Whoever you are come forth I have not revealed myself to you To be another statistic I have come to you to be my mystic Baby, baby, baby Succumb to me Baby, baby, baby Succumb to me Baby, baby, baby Succumb to me Baby, baby, baby Succumb to me Whoever you are come forth These are the days that must happen to you These are the days that must happen to you |

I couldn't sleep last night wondering where were you?
In your mind I mean Why didn't you scream? Though I say the wrong thing now and then I still love you In my hour of passionate thought You know I say things that I ought (not to) And though we may not stay together I still love you All alone now long down the line And still these tear storms loneliness finds But like the tide that rises Slaps against the beach and falls And though it's no longer my pail to pull and all And though the weight of all our years Their silent whispers call I still love you I still love you I still love you |

I won't say goodbye
I don't want to use that exit line Please don't make me lie I have no excuse for you this time 'Cause sometimes (It's alright for a season) But then it's time to go The verses of my life are moving past And so now the chorus I must hear I've got to define my life and times Before I can give you more than tears 'Cause sometimes (It's alright for a season) But then it's time to go Your heart was stretched to the point of breaking Your tears are etched and your sorrow is waking This complicated curse Causes you to freeze our love in time If I awaken that first It's only 'cause you lost yourself in mine Please don't let me see you cry 'Cause sometimes It's alright for a season But then it's time to go |

You're top man on the scene
You don't think life comes in between But hey, she's just seventeen She feels that she's a worldly girl But man you've been around the world She is just some worried daddy's girl Even though there's nothing I can say To cheat you and nature any way Let her down easy Her heart is on a dime Let her down easy And you'll grow up in time In her strawberry eyes The way she sees you signifies That she's susceptible to your velvet lies But if you must lay her down May a butterscotch glow be her dressing gown And please do not lead her on when you leave town Even though there's nothing I can say To cheat you and nature any way Let her down easy Her heart is on the line Let her down easy And you'll grow up in time She's a woman now With a daughter to make her proud In her crayon world of paper clouds She still remembers you The first boy that she gave it to And she laughs at how little then she knew Her daughter's five and her grandfather adores her (of course) Let her down easy Her heart is on the line Let her down easy And you'll grow up in time |
