Graeme Revell

I've got the understanding of a four year old
I've got the piece of mind of a killer's soul
I've got the rationale of a New York cop
I've got the patience of a chopping block

I've got the acumen of a seasoned pro
I've got the legacy of a billion souls
I've got the world down my back, but I don't seem to care
I've got the comprehension of a world unaware

Can't you trip like I do?

Laid out on my back, I can't sleep 'cause I'm slumming
Eyes in my teeth, I can't see 'cause I'm eating
Head full of noise, I can't think 'cause it's crushing
Back on my feet, like a freight train I'm coming

Take me down, 6 underground,
The ground beneath your feet,
Laid out low, nothing to go
Nowhere a way to meet
I've got a head full of drought,
Down here, so faroff losing out
Round here,

Overground, watch this space,
I'm open to falling from grace

Calm me down, bring it round
Too way high off your street
I can see like nothing else
In me you're better than I wannabe
Don't think 'cos I understand,
I care, don't think 'cos I'm talking we're friends,

Overground, watch this space,
I'm open to falling from grace

Talk me down, safe and sound
Too strung up to sleep
Wear me out, scream and shout
Swear my time's never cheap
I fake my life like I've lived
Too much, I take whatever you're given
Not enough,

Overground, watch this space,
I'm open to falling from grace

Baby's got an atom bomb
Twenty two megaton

Baby got a poison gas
Baby got a heart attacks
Baby got a pain on tap
Baby gimme some of that

Baby got a nobel prize
Given for the perfect crime
Baby got an alibi
Baby got eight more lives

Baby got a satellite
Baby got second sight
Baby got a masterplan
A foolproof master plan

Baby got purple hair
Baby got a secret lair
Baby got an army there
I ain't ever seen baby scared

(Gimme some of that)
(Gimme some of that)

Baby got a crystal ball
Baby doesn't care at all
Baby's having too much fun
Baby got an atom bomb

Baby got a fleet at sea
And a submarine called Emergency
She got a motorcade
She got a monorail
Going coast to coast on a campain trail
Playing deck of cards in an armoured car
She got a kung fu star as a bodyguard
She got a juju charm
She got a magic spell
She got a genie all three is working well
She got a tv show
She got a shopping mall
She got a miracle, she doesn't want at all
She got a monument at a great expense
She got a head of state and a president
She got destiny, she got supremecy
She got everything from A - Z
She got it all down tight, she got nothing wrong
She got the whole wide world singing baby's song

I don't want excuses.
I don't want your smiles. I don't want to feel
like we're apart a thousand miles.
I don't want your attitude. I don't
want your things.
But I don't want a 'phone that never rings.
I want your love and I want it now.
I don't want your history. I don't want
that stuff. I want you to shut your mouth.
That would be enough. And I
don't care if you've been here before.
You don't understand - tonight I
feel above the law and I'm coming in to land.
I want your love and I
want it now. My heart is that much harder now.
That's what I thought
before today. My heart is that much harder now.
And I thought that it
would stay that way, before today. Before today.
I don't want a 'phone
that never rings.
I want your love and I want it now.

Mommy doesn't have her head anymore
Keep it underneath my bed on the floor
That's alright though
That's ok
She never really used her head anyway

Daddy called me a silly bore
Bet he wont say that anymore
Because the way his body's severed in two
His vocal chords are gonna be hard to use

[CHORUS]
Beheaded
Watch you spurt like a garden hose
Beheaded
Bloody mess all over my clothes

Watch my girlfriend come to the door
Chop off her head, she falls to the floor
Watching my baby's jugular flow
Really makes my motor go

Wrap a towel around the bloody stump
Take my baby's body to the city dump
Then wipe the mess off the bloody axe
Scoop all the heads in my burlap sack

[CHORUS]

All my collection
Adorns my rooms on bamboo poles
Used to be a little
But a little got more and more
Now I'm craving yours

Night brings bad dreams
Bad dreams and guillotines

Off with her head

Find another victim for my machine
Put him in a homemade guillotine
Blade falls, gonna need a casket
Watch the head plop in a wicker basket

Leave the house at a quarter to four
Come back with sixteen or more
Cause the more I want, the more I see
Got a funny feeling coming over me

Believe in Angels
Where the silence falls
There the river runs deep
Where the shadow ends
So begins the dream
Where the hunger leads me
It's hard to believe
I'll be lost to you

It's the blood that ties
It's the hurt that heals
It's the face you hide
Hides the pain you feel
So hold me up now
Yeah, I'm afraid to breathe
An' I'm lost to you
Yeah, I'm lost to you

I believe in a heaven
I believe in the night
I believe there's a path to follow
I believe in the light
Part of you is the devil
Part of you is the light
I'm gonna fly
Through the city of angels

Hold me under
Let the river wash away my sins
Let me drown and you
Let the water and the love rush you
You can hear me whisper
When you're listenin'
And I'm lost to you
Yeah, lost to you

I believe in a heaven
I believe in the night
I believe there's a path to follow
I believe in the light
Part of you is the devil
Part of you is the light
I'm gonna fly
Through the city of angels

It's the blood that ties
It's the hurt that heals
It's the face you hide
Hides the pain you feel
So hold me up now
I long to believe
And I'm lost to you
Yeah, lost to you

I believe in a heaven
I believe in the night
I believe there's a path to follow
I believe in the light
Part of you is the devil
Part of you is the light
I'm gonna fly
Through the city of angels

I believe in a heaven
I believe in the night
I believe there's a path to follow
I believe in the light
Part of you is the devil
Part of you is the light
I'm gonna fly
Through the city of angels

Oh, through the city of angels....

All I ever wanted
was to be at your service
but now I'm alone
cause you were here and you're gone
And all I ever wanted
was to feel I had a purpose
but now that's all gone
But if you could give me
just one love
just one life
just one chance to believe in mine
just one love
just one life
you'd bleed for me
and I didn't dare to notice you
now I'm stuck
out on a line.
Bleed for me
I didn't care to be with you
now you're stuck in my mind
All I ever wanted
was to be what you needed
cause something so strong
it could never be wrong.
And all I can promise
is to say what I'm feeling
We've made it so long
But if you could give me
just one love
just one life
just one chance to believe in mine
just one love
just one life
you'd bleed for me
and I didn't dare to notice you
now I'm stuck
out on a line.
You'd bleed for me
I didn't care to be with you
now you're stuck in my mind
Just one love in my life...
You'd bleed for me
and I didn't dare to notice you
now I'm stuck
out on a line.
Bleed for me
I didn't care to be with you
now you're stuck in my mind

Somewhere out there,
Beneath the pale blue night,
Someone's thinking of me,
And loving me tonight.

Somewhere out there,
Someone's saying a prayer,
Then we'll find one another,
In that big somewhere out there.

And even though I know how very far apart we are,
It helps to think we might be wishing
On the same bright star,
And when the night will start to sing
A lonesome lullaby,
It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the
Same big sky.

Somewhere out there,
If love can see us through,
Then, we'll be together,
Somewhere out there, out where dreams, come true.

And even though I know how very far apart we are,
It helps to think we might be wishing
On the same bright star,
And when the night will start to sing
A lonesome lullaby,
It helps to think we're sleeping underneath the
Same big sky.

Somewhere out there,
If love can see us through,
Then, we'll be together,
Somewhere out there, out where dreams, come true.

Atrocities made eveeryday religiously.
Their sins they hide CAN NEVER DISGUISE
BLOOD STAINED HANDS
BLOOD STAINED TIMES.
BLOOD STAINED DEEDS.
BLOOD STAINED LIES.

THEY WAGE THEIR WARS.
SUCH PROFITEERS WILL NAIL US ALL.
THEIR CRIMES CONCEALED DESPICABLY REVEAL.
BLOOD STAINED HANDS.
BLOOD STAINED TIMES.
BLOOD STAINED WEAPONS.
BLOOD STAINED LIES.
THEY FIRE AT WILL. INTENT TO KILL.
THEY HAVE NO CONSCIENCE.
ETHNIC CLEANSING NOTHING MORE.
BLOOD OF NATIONS BLOOD OF WAR.
TURN BLIND EYES FROM ALL YOUR CRIMES.
YOU BARE OUR SOULS.
SHOW NO REMORSE. YOU CANNOT WASH THE
BLOODSTAINS OFF. THEY TURN THEIR BACKS WHILE OTHERS
COMMIT GRISLY ACTS. WE'RE SCARRED FOR LIFE BY
POLITICIANS' GREEDY. BLOOD STAINED HANDS. BLOOD
STAINED TIMES. BLOOD STAINED WEAPONS. BLOOD STAINED
CRIMES. BLOOD STAINED LANDS. BLOOD STAINED MINDS.
BLOOD STAINED DEEDS. BLOOD STAINED LIES. AND WHILE
SUCH PREDATORS STALK THIS EARTH. DISGUISED AS SAINTS
THEY KILL OUR FAITH. OBSESSED BY GREED. LYING
THROUGH THEIR TEETH. THEY CANNOT WASH THE
BLOODSTAINES OFF.

Here's to my mother
From her shrine I have crawled
To find my feet and walk three steps then I fall
Don't try to save me momma
Don't kiss my wounded knees
I won't go home now momma
don't make a fool of me
You see I am the boogie woogie king yes yes
take my hand take my other hand
take my hand take my other hand
take my hand take my other hand
take my hand.........
The boogie woogie king from the mountain top is what I am.
The boogie woogie king from the mountain top is what I am.
The people watch me ride this wicked mule from his stall
Get to the streets where a thousand eyes stare in awe
what do you see now momma this wicked mule and me.
or do you see your child drownin' in the Galilee Sea?
I am the boogie woogie King, yes yes
Take my hand take my other hand
take my hand take my other hand
The boogie woogie king from the mountain top is what I am.
Here's to my mother, from her shrine I have crawled
TO find my feet - walk three steps then I fall.
I'm just a seeker Mama, I'm just like all the rest.
I don't own this mountain - I just rent the nest
You see I am the boogie woogie king, yes yes
Take my hand take my other hand
Take my hand take my other hand
The boogie woogie king from the mountain top is what I am.
The boogie woogie king from the mountain top is what I am.

How can you see into my eyes like open doors
Leading you down into my core
Where I've become so numb without a soul
My spirit sleeping somewhere cold
Until you find it there and lead it back home

(Wake me up) Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up) Wake me up inside
(Save me) Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up) Bid my blood to run (I can't wake up) before I come undone
(Save me) Save me from the nothing I've become

Now that I know what I'm without
You can't just leave me
Breathe into me and make me real
Bring me to life

(Wake me up) Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up) Wake me up inside
(Save me) Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up) Bid my blood to run (I can't wake up) before I come undone
(Save me) Save me from the nothing I've become
Bring me to life (I've been living a lie there's nothing inside)
Bring me to life

Frozen inside without your touch without your love
Darling only you are the life among the dead

(All this time I can't believe I couldn't see
Kept in the dark but you were there in front of me)
I've been sleeping a thousand years it seems
Got to open my eyes to everything
(Without a thought without a voice without a soul)
Don't let me die here (There must be something more)
Bring me to life

(Wake me up) Wake me up inside
(I can't wake up) Wake me up inside
(Save me) Call my name and save me from the dark
(Wake me up) Bid my blood to run (I can't wake up) before I come undone
(Save me) Save me from the nothing I've become
Bring me to life (I've been living a lie there's nothing inside)
Bring me to life

Well it seemed like yesterday when the world was lookin dark
It felt so cold and grey and why the hell am I even here
What's the purpose all I feel is guilt and hate and fear oh yea yea

Till that day you came along
My heart was empty like the soul was missing
From a song and I thought I loved a few yea

No one ever made me feel the way that you do
Hey little girl look what you do oh I love you hey little girl I love you
Well I know I'm not always right

And girl it breaks my heart when I have to see you cry
So many things I want to say yea now I know that your the reason
That I'm here today whenever your here just stay near we'll be alright
Yea alright hey little girl look what you do oh I love you
Hey little girl look what you do and you do

When all my love starts running thin I got you my own
Cailin hey little girl I love you yea
I'll be alright but I need you close please stay tonight
As long as your here just stay near we'll be alright yea alright

Is it real, we're always the same
We're almost unknown now
Well I was caught in the rain
Wasting my time on the ground
Waiting the call, of what would you say?
Can you come over?
Well, I was caught in the rain
Wasting my time on the ground.

It was you, who could get me high
With whatever you say
You tell me something real
What we do, it doesn't matter now
Whatever it takes, for you to stay with me.

Trading thoughts, crossing the room
I saw you surrounded
I was caught in the rain
Wasting my time on the ground
Feeling this fall, without an escape
I almost let you down
I was caught in the rain
Wasting my time on the ground.

It was you, who could get me high
With whatever you say
You tell me something real
What we do, it doesn't matter now
Well I was caught in the rain
You make me feel
You make me feel
Make me feel

I was caught in the rain
Wasting my time on the ground
I was caught in the rain
Wasting my time on the ground
I was caught in the rain
Caught in the rain.

Lose my head to the chemical freeway
Comin' up on overload
In a mystic new dimension
Purify and sanctify me
What, so I'm in no end game
Move my piece right off the board
Losing sure is easy so I am no more

But I'm not broken, in my dream I win
In here I'm nothing, a Cosmic Castaway

In my head I'm a chemical dreamer
Speed up to burn out mode
Comin' up in the 5th dimension
Beautify don't crucify me, yeah
So I need no mind game poisoning my lonely soul
Losing sure is easy so I am no more

But I'm not broken, in my dream I win
And I take over, coz I'm no loser
And I'm in and you're not, bad dreams don't stop
But I'm all screwed up, a Cosmic Castaway
a Cosmic Castaway, a Cosmic Castaway

And I want but have not
Bad dreams, lust thoughts
In here with no pain, you hurt me again
And I want but have none
I should beat the alien
But here I'm no one, a Cosmic Castaway
a Cosmic Castaway, a Cosmic Castaway
a Cosmic Castaway

crazy, I'm crazy for feeling so lonely
I'm crazy, crazy for feeling so blue
I knew, you'd love me as long as you wanted
and someday, you'd leave me for somebody new

worry, why do I let myself worry
wondering, what in the world should I do
crazy for thinking that my love could hold you

I'm crazy for trying, crazy for trying, and I'm crazy for loving you.

Dance me to your beauty with a burning violin
Dance me through the panic till I'm gathered safely in
Lift me like an olive branch and be my homeward dove
And dance me to the end of love

Let me see your beauty when the witnesses are gone
Let me feel you moving like they do in Babylon
Show me slowly what I only know the limits of
And dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the wedding now, oh, dance me on and on
Dance me very tenderly and dance me very long
We're both of us beneath our love, we're both of us above
Oh, dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the children who are asking to be born
Dance me through the curtains that our kisses have outworn
Raise the tent of shelter now, though every thread is torn
And dance me to the end of love

Nen moi vers ta beaut avec de violon br?ant
Nen moi vers la beaut a poucoup je sois enti?e
Touche moi avec ta main nue, touche moi avec ton gant
Nen moi jusqu' la vadu l'amour

Hot air hangs like a dead man
From a white oak tree
People sitting on porches
Thinking how things used to be

Dark night, it's a dark night
Dark night, it's a dark night

The neighborhood was changing
Strangers moving in
A new boy fell for a local girl
When she made eyes at him

She was young and pretty
No stranger to other men
Open doors were being locked at night
And old lines drawn again

I thought these things
Didn't matter anymore
I thought all that blood
Had been shed long ago

Dark night, it's a dark night

He took her to the outskirts
And pledged his love to her
They thought it was their secret
But someone knew where they were

He held her so close
He asked about her dreams
When a bullet from a passing car
Made the young girl scream

I thought these things
Didn't happen anymore
I thought all that blood
Had been shed long ago

Dark night, it's a dark night
Dark night, it's a dark night

Dengue woman
Stay away from me
Dengue woman
Stay away from me
You got your fever and you rush
Over me

That's why
Everyday you bring me misery
Everyday you give me misery
I think about jumpin'
Jumpin' in the deep blue see

You got me all crazy
I can't get outta bed
Bones are achin'
(?) in my head
Dengue woman
Stay away from me
I've got your aches and things
Over me

Come back down to earth, oh yeah
Come back down to earth
Come back down to earth, oh yeah
Come back down to earth

Ever wake up thinking that you wanna be big star
Dream about the day that you get a bodyguard
Greet the world from the stage
Some get something that they never bargained for
'Cause it ain't healthy in the spotlight
Want to be special? I know that you do
In the starlight

Come back down to earth, oh yeah
Come back down to earth
Come back down to earth, oh yeah
Come back down to earth

Ain't how it seems in the spotlight
All I know is that nothing can make you feel
Too good for too long
All fake feel goods wear off
And then you're feeling worse off, it's all wrong
Last weeks special gets sold off this week
For a cheap song, so sail on

All my wishes could come true
But boy I'll still be wanting for something else
Still I get it through my thick head
That when I get there I will not want
Where is there?
Well, I know that I will know it when I get there
It's in my prayers

Come back down to earth, oh yeah
Come back down to earth
Come back down to earth, oh yeah
Come back down to earth

Come back down to earth, oh yeah
Come back down to earth
In the stars)
Come back down to earth, oh yeah
Come back down to earth
(In the stars)

Am I, strung out, crazy or not allowed
To be the one who gets stupid over you
Lazy, laidback, maybe you're just on crack
Why am I the one who gets fucked up and confused--VAMOS!
She doesn't care at all
She doesn't care about those times we never shared at all
If I were the last of the few who always ask
Would you still be the same person that I knew
And If it's for me
Another boring sotry
I swear I'll act enthused

I can't stand to see the morning come
While the evening rain's still falling
I can't stand to see the morning come
While the evening rain's still falling
I can't stand to see the morning come
While the evening rain's still falling
Like the day
Saw the same
All the problems
I follow
I run away
Saw the plane
The grey life
Tomorrow
But I can't stand to see the morning come
While the evening rain's still falling
But I can't stand to see the morning come
While the evening rain's still falling
I close my eyes
It doesn't work

I can't stand to see the morning come

To a distant galaxy.
I'll take a rocket to the stars, to,
escape catastrophe!
See time is tickin' on and on and on and on,
And life's in short supply.
So send me on a no-return trajectory,
'cause everything I know, is going to die!

CHOURS
Let's travel to a beautiful new world,
Leave this world behind.
Everybody's going to the moon.
I'd like to stay a little bit longer, but,
I've seen all the signs.
Everybody's going to the moon.

Everybody's going to the moon.

I've got a one way future,
Apocalypse and Doom.
So I need a destination,
Hope I get there soon.
The whole night I prayed
And soon I will be done,
So we're to make this journey
far beyond the stars and leave behind
the distant love of my unsetting sun

It was regular stuff like Perry and Thrust
Ain't out of the blue like we usually do
So me and Angelo came around about seven
With stars in our eyes from the press we were gettin'
Suspect from headache you know a great deal
Your apathy fake but your parts are real
More than a little by the time it went down
I had crossed your path but you didn't know how
A record claimed star by the end of the week
Set flames to the heat that's all out in the street
The problems and pain runs hand in hand
When the mother of commerce ends up workin' for the band

[Chorus]
The streets is watchin'
So keep on talkin'
Your time is tickin' down, down, down
The streets is watchin'
So keep on talkin'
Your time is tickin' down, down, down

Let's catch fishes
Bombs make misses
You get served like dishes
Like the soft machine kisses your ass
It's not one iota or a comma or a quota
It was regular stuff like Perry and Thrust
Ain't out of the blue like we usually do
So me and Angelo came around about seven
With stars in our eyes from the press we were gettin'
Suspect from headache you know a great deal
Your apathy fake but your parts are real
More than a little by the time it went down
I had crossed your path but you didn't know how
A record claimed star by the end of the week
Set flames to the heat that's all out in the street
The problems and pain runs hand in hand
When the mother of commerce ends up workin' for the band

[Chorus]

Let's catch fishes
Bombs make misses
You get served like dishes
Like the soft machine kisses your ass
It's not one iota or a comma or a quota
When your time here is over
One bum, two bum, three bums more
If dispute you're using then you know what it's for
A shot in the dark and after a thought
A lark
You hit the watermark but the thug didn't bark
Oh yeah, that's the sound of the police
They're makin' the wave because your hand is greased
Can't put nobody on unless they're wearing a thong
But the days are gone like Yvonne Elliman
If I can't be true I don't want your money baby
See I'm happy being stealth
Can't define my wealth
So, yo, go ask somebody else

Yeah The streets is watchin'
Yeah The streets is watchin'
I said the streets are watchin'

It's in this moment, Hold on
When everything has come apart
It's in this moment
Right now
When it can come together

Raise your sights
What's there to lose?

Fall in the light

In all this trouble, Hold on
To the innocence with which you were born
There's so much struggle
Be strong
Find the faith you need to carry on

It's a long night
You're not alone

Fall in the light

Sweet air
It falls into place
Sun through the haze
Doesn't it feel a
Little like grace

It's in this moment, Hold on
When everything has come apart
It's in this moment
Right now
When everything - come together

Raise your soul
What's there to lose

Fall in the light

(Hold on)
(I know you'll catch me)

You see these eyes, they're darn to hurt
I want to crush you, want you get burned
I want the power without the grace
I want to have you for your sweet taste

I'm big brother, I'm watching you
I'm big brother, I'm watching you
I have your face inside my eyes
I'm big brother, I'm watching you

I can't resist to fuck you up
You're named and numbered, I've got that lot
You're on your face, you're in that dirt
I'm burning through what you convert

I'm big brother, I'm watching you
I'm big brother, I'm watching you
I have your face inside my eyes
I'm big brother, I'm watching you

Feed on the world

I want the power, I want control
I want your life, want you to know
There's nothing you can think to do
'Cause I'm big brother and I'm watching you

I'm big brother, I'm watching you
I'm big brother, I'm watching you
I have your face inside my eyes
I'm big brother, I'm watching you

Foolish heart
You made me weep
Foolish heart
I'm yours to keep
You're the one
That's still with me
Foolish heart
Don't set me free

There was a time
When you said to me
Don't fall in love
So easily
But then she walked in
And right away
You never had another thing to say

Foolish heart
You made me weep
Foolish heart
I'm yours to keep
You're the one
That's still with me
Foolish heart
Don't set me free

She went away
And now we're alone
I asked her to stay
But she had to go
She's made up her mind
That I'm just a fool
My love is blind
And it's all because of you

Foolish heart
You made me weep
Foolish heart
I'm yours to keep
You're the one
That's still with me
Foolish heart
Don't set me free

Foolish heart
Don't set me free

Make his fight on the hill in the early day
Constant chill deep inside
Shouting gun, on they run throught the endless grey
On they fight, for they are right, yes, but who's to say?
For a hill, men would kill, why? They do not know
Suffered wounds test their pride
Men of five, still alive through the raging glow
Gone insane from the pain that they surely know

For whom the bell tolls
Time marches on
For whom the bell tolls

Take a look to the sky just before you die
It is the last time he will
Blackened roar massive roar fills the crumbling sky
Shattered goal fills his soul with a ruthless cry
Stranger now, are his eyes, to this mystery
He hears the silence so loud
Crack of dawn, all is gone except the will to be
Now they see, what will be, blinded eyes to see

For whom the bell tolls
Time marches on
For whom the bell tolls

I envision I am justice
Never thought that I could love
Living in shadows Fading existence
It was never good enough
Within the darkness
You are the light that shines the way
All trapped in violence
I can be the man who saves the day
I`m there for you No matter what
I`m there for you Never giving up
I`m there for you For You
Someone`s changed me Something save me
And this is who I am
Although I was blinded
My heart let me find out
That truth makes a better man
I didn`t notice
That you were right in front of me
Our mask of silence
Were put away so we can see
I`m there for you No matter what
I`m there for you Never giving up
I`m there for you For You For you

Within the darkness
You are the light that shines away
In this blind justice
I can be that man who saves the day
I`m there for you No matter what
I`m there for you Never giving up
Cause you know it`s true
You were there for me
And I`m there for you
For you For you For you

the mountains are high
the valleys are low
you are confused by which way to go
i know someone to give you a hand
lead you into the promised land

come on and take a free ride (free ride!)
come on and get by my side
come on and take a free ride

all over the country i've seen it the same
nobody's winning at this type of game
they got to do better they got to take aim
all of the answers will come from within come on

Rock on, gold dust woman
Take your silver spoon
Dig your grave
One less challenge
Pick your path and I'll pray
Wake up in the morning
See your sunlight burning to go down
Lousy lovers
Pick their preys but they never cry out loud
Cry out

Did she make you cry
Make you break down
Shatter your illusions of love?
Is it over now?
Do you know how?
Pick up the pieces and go home

Ooh, shadow of a woman

Rock on, gold dust woman
Follow those who pale in your shadow
Rulers make bad lovers
Better put your kingdom up for sale
Up for sale

Well, did she make you cry
Make you break down
Shatter your illusions of love?
Is it over now?
Do you know how?
Pick up the pieces and go home
Did she make you cry
Make you break down
Shatter your illusions of love?
Well, is it over now?
Do you know how?
Pick up the pieces and go home
To go home

Ooh, shadow of a woman
Ooh, shadow of a woman
Ooh yeah, shadow of a woman
Ooh, shadow of a woman
Black widow

Ooh yeah, shadow of a woman
Woman
Black widow

Ooh yeah, shadow of a woman
Black widow
Ooh yeah, shadow of a woman
Black, black widow
Ooh yeah, shadow of a woman
Bla-a-a-ack widow....

Oh Now,I Found Myself
Wish I was someone else
My Hands are stained with love
Wish I could take it away

I hid behind the shell
In Time,the pain will melt
My heart is stained with love
wish I could fake it

I gave my life away
there's nothing left to say
I gave my life away
You take it in your way

You take it in your way

my selfish enemy
still has the best of me
empty and feeling numb
wish I could take it away

I cant control the need
too weak to not conceed
wish i was deaf and dumb
Wish I could fake it

I gave my life away
there's nothing left to say
I gave my life away
You take it in your way
I gave my life away
there's nothing left to say
I gave my life away
You take it in your way

I can't pretend were the same
I can't pretend were the same
I can't pretend were the same

And Now,I Find Myself
Wish I was someone else
My Hands are stained with love
Wish I could FAKE!

I gave my life away
there's nothing left to say
I gave my life away
You take it in your way
I gave my life away
there's nothing left to say
I gave my life away
You take it in your way

You take it in your way 3x

You take it in your way.........

I can hardly wait

It's been so long
I've lost my taste
Say angel come
Say lick my face
Let fall your dreams
I'll play the part
I'll open this mouth wide
Eat your heart

I can hardly wait

Lips cracked, dry
Toungue blue burst
Say angel come
Say lick my thirst
It's been so long
I've lost my taste
Here Romeo
Make my world as great

In my glass coffin
I'm waiting

Here is the plan to command urban cities
You took me from Africa, said that's the way to fix me
But I want my retribution, revolution is with me
I got my fucking gat, ain't whizzling no Dixie
Like baba-do-ba baba-do-ba baba-do-ba
To my ancestors you'll bow, I want my freedom now
And I ain't doin' no talking, I'm stalking today
You don't keep your peace treaties anyway...

An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
Now how many eyes and teeth you think I lost, tell the truth
"Maroon!" feeds the hypeness in my psyche tonight
I watch the whites full delight from my second class life
But a land without the first class the second class is right
So I'm eliminating those that think they wanna fight, you might
Should I heed for capital crimes, they'll read 'em
Verdict: "Death!" Sentence: "Freedom!"

Death to me - Here we diddy come come
If it'll make me free - Here we diddy come come

Yeah, bring it on, death's about to grow from the seeds you sown
You fertilized it with poverty, you watered it with dope
And harvested it by the guns that betrayed my hope
But scopes came with them guns, now what do I see?
You and your family looking scared of me, you plead mercy
But non-violence has only got me half-way to where I want to be
Now my vengeance will make me free...

"So don't call me Martin Luther King in my face"
His dream's no reality, fatality's the case
You took away my dignity, I forgot about who I was
"But I never had a dream 'cause..."
Life is something that I think we can no longer share
"...my life is a nightmare"
Death is something I don't fear
America's been my boogieman for 400 years!

Death to me - Here we diddy come come
If it'll make me free - Here we diddy come come

I'll ride the pale horse, to you my name is Death
Hell is with me, of course, now it's forced
I'm the messenger of spawns to come, go warn your son
You've battered splattered brains where I run the verdict
Like you he was guilty, I find you wretched and weak
Your evil seeds are filthy, but still we got to go through the motions
I accuse thee of being like a devil in the first degree, let's see...

Did you steal the land that you're on?
And is my red brother nearly gone?
Took my ancestors from their home
Build your fucking nation on their bones
Atomic rain on the yellow man
Poisoning the air and the land
Narcotics and disease from your hand
Now I can't see nor understand

Death to me - Here we diddy come come
If it'll make me free - Here we diddy come come

Bleed out all empathy this vessel has no spirit left to hold on to lies I've lived in full
How long can I hold tight with every movement
Tension binds and denies my true nature
The Balance has shifted warped sick and twisted
Grabbing at angels when I fall
Because I am more than this idol endless recital
For all my demons to applaud
I am free
Hide myself from it all while every fear is
Screaming night into dawn until I find
I have to believe them (lies)
In order to attain fulfillment
I have to succumb to (lies)
All my inner fears that tear at me
I will never believe them (lies)
I'm sick of the weakness that controls me - Now that Iuve fallen - I will not repent

People Keep on learnin'
Soldiers Keep on warrin'
World Keep on turnin'
Cause it won't be too long

Powers Keep on lyin'
While your people Keep on dyin'
World Keep on turnin'
Cause it won't be too long

I'm so darn glad He
let me try it again
'Cause my last time on earth
I lived a whole world of sin
I'm so glad that I know
more than I knew then
Gonna keep on tryin'
till I reach the highest ground

Teachers Keep on teachin'
Preachers Keep on preachin'
World keep on turnin'
'Cause it won't be too long

Lovers Keep on lovin'
While believers Keep on believin'
Sleepers Just stop sleepin'
'Cause it won't be too long

I'm so darn glad He
let me try it again
'Cause my last time on earth
I lived a whole world of sin
I'm so glad that I know
more than I knew then
Gonna keep on tryin'
till I reach the highest ground
An' Stevie knows that uh
nobody's gonna bring me down
Till I reach the highest ground
'cause me n Stevie see
we're gonna be a sailin'
on the funky sound
Till I reach the highest ground
Bustin' out an I'll break you out
'cause I'm sailin' on
Till I reach the highest ground
Just uh sailin' on sailin'
on the higher ground
Till I reach the highest ground

Obsessive acts of hate, abductions and massacre.
Breeding emotion subvergance, when the living become the dead
Home invasion, private party of thieves
Blood spilled, material thrill
A sign of the times

Self-destruction, a terminal mind

Sadomasochist a high profile, trained in apathy
Intellect repulsed, your torn, and death will have a face

Ravage passion, a theme for the 90's
Tormented devients, when fucking becomes psychotic
Domesticated rage, actions of desperation
A struggle of inner-killing, a sign of the times

Self-destruction, a terminal mind

Stranggled to death, little miss beauty queen
With a fractured head, so it seems
America's little royal miss, raped of innocence
Daddy's little girl to the end

Seduction and torture, sex of the 90's
Mass murders and random violence, when the living become the dead
Father killing mother, daughter,son suicide pact
Butchers black 24/7, a sign of the times

Self-destruction, self destruction
A Human Disease

Jealosy killed the queen
Sliced her neck from ear to ear
Money and power set the king free
A jury of his peers let him be

Jealosy killed the queen
Sliced her neck from ear to ear
Money and power set the king free

Shatter will in retribution
Life, watch it die, life ripped in half
Drastic pain a symphony, sceams
No escape your time to die
Hardened steel against your head, it weights
Self-destruct remain insane

(repeat second verse)

Death will have your face

so messed up

Caressing the marble and stone,
Caressing the marble and stone,
Love that was special for one,
The waste in the fever I heat,
How I wish you were here with me now
How I wish you were here with me now

Body that curls in and dies,
And shares that awful daylight,
Warm like a dog round your feet,
How I wish you were here with me now
How I wish you were here with me now

Hangman looks round as he waits,
Cord stretches tight then it breaks ,
Someday we will die in your dreams,
How I wish you were here with me now
How I wish you were here with me now

For all the good you say it does
It feels no better when you've had your say
You may believe it's just because
The words get colder when you've gone away

I thought I understood
What I was to you

I don't want to feel this way
I don't want to say I'm just a friend
I don't want to wait around here
'Cos you don't want to feel no pain again
We just lie about it
As we become shadows of ourselves

Some may fear committed lives
I sure am one of them without you
Does it come to you as some surprise
I laid the ground beneath to doubt you

Was it ever girl
Something you could hold...

I don't want to feel this way
I don't want to say I'm just a friend
I don't want to wait around here
'Cos you don't want to feel no pain again
We just lie about it
As we become shadows of ourselves

I don't want to look away
I don't want to be the one denied
It ain't no fault of mine
Someone, somewhere told you lies
But we don't talk about it
We just become shadows of ourselves

Today I'll be spinning on a Wheel
I'm a slave to a Wheel
And there isn't any stopping
What mistake(s) could I have made?
I'm a slave serving time for a life that I've forgotten.

I'm a slave of Karma
Spin the Wheel and I'm a king reborn
I'm a slave to Karma
I'm coming back, yeah, I'll be coming back
But for the last time.

Today I'm a king on the Wheel
Still a slave to the Wheel
But this time around I'm smiling
Keep me cautious, keep me safe, just in case there's a chance
I can leave this Wheel behind me.
Stand in the Middle and you won't get dizzy
Stand in the Middle and you won't fall down
If you stand in the Middle you can keep your balance
Stand in the Middle while the Wheel spins round and round...

I'm a slave of Karma
Spin the Wheel and I'm a king reborn
I'm a slave to Karma
I'm coming back, yeah, I'll be coming back
But for the last time.
I'm a slave of Karma
Spin the Wheel and I'm a King reborn
I'm a slave to Karma
I'm coming back, yeah, I'll be coming back
But for the last time.

How do all the Wheels inside the Wheels revolving,
Go on, and on, and on, and on, and on...
Spinning on the Wheel the souls of One evolving,
Live on, live on, live on, live on, live on...
Anyone who claims that they know the answer's coming back again...

Who's at the center of the Wheel
The inventor of the Wheel
or another spinning servant
I'm the Master of my Wheel of my very own Wheel
Universal and recurrent

I'm a slave of Karma
Spin the Wheel and I'm a King reborn
I'm a slave to Karma
I'm coming back, yeah, I'll be coming back
But for the last time

You knocked me out
You bit my lip
You held me down
And kept me sober

Through all this time
With no regret
I guess that's just the way I liked it

Maybe
When I'm free
I'll realize all I really wanted
To share all the peace
Something that I never wanted

So wait
Don't go
Seems as though
It's getting scary
So please
Don't you go
Wait
Don't you go

You knocked me out
I can never be the same
I pushed you over
And here we will remain

Confusion new
Do you, and nothing's right
Nobody but you has to
Hold on to the fight
Just before you cry

It won't change you
It won't change me
And I don't even wonder why

Don't touch
Feel so much

And life
Yeah we cry
I know
Baby I know

But fate
I'm waking
I feel
I touch
I breathe
I cry
I know this

So wait
Wait
I said please
Smile just before you cry

Don't you go

You knocked me out
I can never be the same
I pushed you over
But here we still remain
You knocked me out
I can never be the same

I can take the fight
But don't
Don't take it away

You knocked me out
You bit my lip
You held me down and kept me sober

there little darling, where'd the old man go?
Why don't we get out of town and do it all night long?
We can lie out in the field til the morning light
Then me and your old man are gonna have to fight
Start the loving in the truck and wind up in the ditch
The old man will come a-runnin' with a hickory switch
Oh, no, gotta learn this some day
Why, I, gotta learn the hard way
Buddy showed me just how fast a car can go
I'll race you for your pink slip right before this show
Throw your girlfriend in the bet to make things good
Cause she's been staring at me like no girlfriend should
Bastards sitting right there on the starting line
Stuck the sugar in your gas tank by myself last night
Oh, no, gotta learn this some day
Why, I, gotta learn the hard way
Hey there little darling, where'd the old man go?
Why don't we get out of town and do it all night long?
We can lie out in the field til the morning light
Then me and your old man are gonna have to fight
Start the loving in the truck and wind up in the ditch
The old man will come a-runnin' with a hickory switch
Oh, no, gotta learn this some day
Why, I, gotta learn the hard way
Oh, no, gotta learn this some day
Why, I, gotta learn the hard way

I feel so alone
Again
I know that I need you
To help me make it through the night
And I pray that you believe in me
You gave me my strength to face another day alone

I need you now, my friend
More than you know
When will we meet again?
Cause I can't let go of you

This world brings me down
Again
I know that I need you
To help me make it through the night
Cause I know that you're the one for me
You gave me my strength to face another day alone

I need you now, my friend
More than you know - yeah yeah
When will we meet again?
Cause I can't let go, I can't let go

As time passes by
I find things never seem to change
When I feel alone
You bring me back to you

And I need you now, my friend
More than you know
When will we meet again?
Cause I can't let go of you

No, I can't let go

Now we've travelled far
But are we any nearer?
There's a feeling we're reaching for
In the fields where it all began

Listen do you hear?
I thought I heard a promise
But that empty fear, it grows
And I'm scared that I will forget

But I, I can remember
Look around and round
There's people still hanging on
See it's me, I'm the one
Believe in me, I've just begun
We'll be here when the lights come on
When it all comes down to me and you

Just a boy and girl
Trying to change a cold world
I don't expect that you'd understand
When you look at this empty land

But I, I can remember
Look around and round
There's people still hanging on
And I, I can remember babe
Be it night or day
Like lovers left holding on
See it's me, I'm the one
Believe in me, I've just begun
We'll be here when the lights come on
When it all comes down to me and you

But I, I can remember
Look around and round
There's people still hanging on
And I, I can remember babe
Be it night or day
Like lovers left holding on

But I, I can remember (backing vocals)
Look around and round
There's people still hanging on
an on and on and on and on
an on and on and on and on
an on and on and on and on
You keep me holding on
You keep me holding on
Like lovers left holding on
Like lovers left holding on

harlequin-ee
no need to explain yourself, I was born to pay for my previous sins
good girl goodness, we'll see how she is
Why is the world falling in on me?
Why is the world cheating on me?
Yes, girl to girl sincerity remains, though awkwardly unnamed
You never kissed, these girlfriend's lips, a simple choice to fall away

Why is the world falling in on me?
Why is the world cheating on me?
Why is the world cheating me?

you won't see that, you won't see me
you won't see that, le magic
bad magic, big magic
you won't see that, you won't see

Why is the world falling in on me?
Why is the world cheating on me?
Why is the world cheating me?

Stinking weather fat
Shaky hand
Dopey morning Doc
Grumpy gnomes

Little wonder then
Little wonder
You little wonder
Little wonder you

Big screen dolls
Tits and Explosions
Sleepy time
Bashful but nude

Little wonder then
Little wonder
You little wonder
Little wonder you

Enter galactic
See me to be you
It's all in the tablets
Sneezy Bhutan

Little wonder then
Little wonder
You little wonder
Little wonder you

Mars happy nation
Sit on my karma
Dame meditation
Take me away

Little wonder then
Little wonder
You little wonder
Little wonder you

Looking good, stepping out, looking for romance
Crazy arms, crazy legs, save me the last dance
Hold me tight, make me warm, give me shelter
Treat me right, in from the storm, helter skelter
You know the way, the game is tough
Need some motivation, to help you get it up
Chorus:
Cause it's only, love for sale,
Heart of gold and hard as nails
I can't believe it's legal,
To send it through the mail
Only love for sale
Call me up, call me back, call me what you want to
Shoot your shot, shoot the moon, nothing that you can't do
All for me, one for all, shoulder to shoulder
Here and gone, sure like to ball, rock n' roller
You know the way, stuff goes around,
You need a half nelson, to help you get it down
Chorus
Rip it up, rip it out, Shake your money maker
Feels so good, in and out, real earth shaker
Get up close, stroke your bones, get a grip babe
Take a trip, take me home, feel the earth shift babe
You know the way, so get it right
You don't need an airplane, to get you through the night

In her place one hundred candles burning
as salty sweat drips from her breast
her hips move and I can feel what they're saying, swaying
They say the beast inside of me's gonna get ya, get ya,get...

Black lipstick stains her class of red wine
I am your servant, may I light your cigarette?
Those lips smooth, yeah I can feel what you're saying, praying
They say the beast inside of me's gonna get ya, get ya, get...

I beg to serve, your wish is my law
Now close those eyes and let me love you to death
Shall I prove I mean what i'm saying, begging
I say the beast inside of me's gonna get ya, get ya, get..

Let me love you too
Let me love you to death

Hey am I good enough for you?
Hey am i good enough for you?
Am I?
Am I?
Am I good enough
for you?

Mary had a little lamb,
It's fleece was white as snow, yeah.
Everywhere the child went,
The little lamb was sure to go, yeah.

He followed her to school one day,
And broke the teachers rule.
What a time did they have,
That day at school.

Tisket, tasket,
A green and yellow basket.
Sent a letter to my baby,
On my way I passed it.

If you're down in Acuna and you ain't up to being alone
don't spend all your money on just any honey that's grown.
Go find the Mexican blackbird and send all your troubles back home.

They all call her her "puta" 'cause no one really knows her name.
She works the cantina, dancin' and a-lovin's her trade.
Her mama was Mez'can and her daddy was the ace of spades.

Oh, let's drive that old Chrysler down to Mexico, boy.
Said, keep your hands on the wheel there.
Oh, it sure is fine, ain't it?
Now, ya got it! Hand me another one of them brews from back there.
Oh, this is gonna be so good.

Mm, she's hot as a pepper but smooth as a Mexican brew.
So head for the border and put in an order or two.
The wings of the blackbird will spread like an eagle for you.

Oh, one more time,
can you roll me another Bull Durham, please?
Can't you do it with one hand, boy?

I once had a girlfriend
but then one day she dumped me
and everywhere I'd go people would ask me
where she was.
I don't wanna talk about her
someone always asks about her
so I tell them all
"My girlfriend's dead"

I say it's lukemia
or sometimes bulimia
Or a great big truck ran her over
and chopped off her head

I don't wanna talk about her
someone always asks about her
so I tell them all
"she's dead!"

I guess there's a part of me
that likes the sympathy
or the looks on their faces when i tell them
how she passed away

I don't wanna talk about her
someone always asks about her
so I tell them all
"She's dead!"

(My girlfriend's dead)
my girlfriend's dead you see
It's a total lie but it's easier on me
than having to admit that she likes someone else
(My girlfriend's dead)
my girlfriend's dead you know
Please change the subject
I'm going to go jump off a building
and join her in hell

I don't wanna talk about her
Someone always asks about her
So I tell them all
"She's dead!"

I'm so tired of being here, suppressed by all my childish fears
And if you have to leave, I wish that you would just leave
Your presence still lingers here and it won't leave me alone
These wounds won't seem to heal, this pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me
You used to captivate me by your resonating light
Now, I'm bound by the life you left behind
Your face it haunts my once pleasant dreams
Your voice it chased away all the sanity in me
These wounds won't seem to heal, this pain is just too real
There's just too much that time cannot erase
When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me
I've tried so hard to tell myself that you're gone
But though you're still with me, I've been alone all along
When you cried, I'd wipe away all of your tears
When you'd scream, I'd fight away all of your fears
And I held your hand through all of these years
But you still have all of me, me, me

My naked cousin
I see him running
All over headland
Scared as his shit as he's running
His naked skin fries
Fries in the sun, oh my
My naked cousin can cook till he's good
Good and done
I hate his smell and I hate his company
But, but most of all I hate that he looks just just like me
His naked skin fries
Fries in the sun my my
But my naked cousin can cook till he's
Good and done
He's running
He run from burning bushes
He run from bank of senate
He run from everything that upsets his master plan
And if he flips
And I am as good as done
My, my naked cousin
He'll just keep keep a'running
He's running...
Running naked through the trees
Scared the shit right out of me
Bought my ticket, take my ride
Take me to the sunny side
Running naked through the trees
Scared the shit right out of me
Bought my ticket, take my ride
Begging all to
Please
He's running

Green grass grows on the ground as I expound above the sound,
look around, now sit down and listen
Dark brown shades drown in the raise of rock,
close your eyes and still see the yellow sun
Feel the earth beneath your feet reaching to meet the sea,
the sky, and I fly higher
Above the ground, beneath the sound that's going
round and round and round and colors flowing down

No white clouds in my blue sky

Gold leaves whisper their dreams to me,
I feel the breeze on my face and I see no trace of confusion
Clarity speaks over the age of race,
dark colors bring light and erase the view of illusion
Visions of hope they haunt my psyche,
tease me, tie me up in a world of white lies
They say freedom is the answer to a question
you don't have to ask and then my hope dies

No white clouds in my blue sky

They have a space that human race creates,
relate to color of greed, but we all bleed the same color
Life flows, bringing the essence of hope
and rebirth to the permanent other
New days fade into gray and decay and then go away
Leaving us searching for the perfect solution
and orange is the color of my revolution

No white clouds in my blue sky

To the path of least resistance,
into the great unknown,
no directory assistance;
now you're on your own~!
If you're lookin' for a new world,
just open up your eyes...

Because it's not
quite
paradise.
But it sure feels like home!
Not quite
paradise.
And we can mention Rome...
It'll be all right,
though not quite...paradise...

Tomorrow's an illusion,
yesterday's a dream;
today is a solution,
but you've gotta let her breathe~!
If you're lookin' for the answer,
it's right before your eyes...

Although it's not
quite
paradise.
But it sure feels like home!
Not quite
paradise.
And we can mention Rome...
It'll be all right,
though not quite...paradise...

Somewhere from the edge of time,
where the blowing starts and the words don't rhyme,
I'll call you up and say,
"We made it, okay?"
Somewhere in the back of your mind,
where you see your demons come to life,
and the world just fades away,
you know it's okay...

O~h, oh~oh. (it's gonna be okay)
O~h, oh~oh.
(all day...) O~h, oh~oh.-a

Light a candle
Lay flowers at the door
For those who were left behind
And the ones who’ve gone before
But here it comes now
Sure as silence follows rain
The taste of you upon my lips
The fingers in my brain
Ever gentle as it kills me where I lay
Who am I to resist?
Who are you to fail?

Got to get you out of my mind
But I can’t escape from the feeling
As I try to leave the memory behind
Without you what’s left to believe in?

And I could be so sorry
For the way it had to go
But now I feel your presence
In a way I could not know
And I wonder
Do you ever feel the same
In whispering darkness
Do you ever hear my name?

Got to get you out of my mind
But I can’t escape from the feeling
As I try to leave the memory behind
Without you, what’s left to believe in?

How could you dare
To become so real
When you’re just a ghost in me

And I’ve got to get you out of my mind
But I can’t escape from the feeling
As I try to leave the memory behind
Without you, what’s left to believe in?

Here in the back of my mind

Deep in the back of my mind

I'm in over my head
They wanna try and build me up
So they can tear me down
I wish that I could be back there
But I'm right here right now
They've taken everything that I've had to give and
They say it's over but man I'm still here livin'
I don't know what to do, I think that maybe
I'm in over my head
Stuck in the red
Somethin' they said
Makes me think that
I'm in over my head
Over my head
Over my head
I've got to get away from here
And it couldn't be too soon
Cuz I see the stars are here with me
Like rockets to the moon
You take me everywhere that I've never been and
Show me the meaning of what life had to give and
I don't know what to say, I think that maybe
I'm in over my head
Lyin' in her bed
Somethin' she said
Makes me think that
I'm in over my head
Over my head
Over my head
They've taken everything that I've had to give and
They say it's over but man I'm still here livin'
I don't know what to do, I think that maybe
I'm in over my head
Stuck in the red
Somethin' they said
Makes me think that
I'm in over my head
Over my head
Over my head
I'm in over my head
I'm in over my head
I'm in over my head
I'm in over my head

You sure you want to be with me?
I've nothing to give.
Won't lie and say this loving's best,
Leave us in emotional peace.
Mmm, take a walk take a rest, a taste of rest.
Don't wanna be on top of your list,
Monopoly and properly kissed.
We overcome in 60 seconds,
With the strength we have together.
But for now, emotional ties they stay severed.
And when there's trust, there'll be treats,
When we funk we'll hear beats,
Karmacoma.

You and her walking through the suburbs.
No, not exactly lovers.
You're a couple, especially when you're body's double.
Duplicate and then you wait
For the next Kuwait.
Karmacoma.
Jamacia Aroma, Karmacoma.

You sure you want to be with me?
I've nothing to give.
Won't lie and say this loving's best,
Leave us in emotional peace.
Mmm, take a walk take a rest, a taste of rest.
Don't wanna be on top of your list,
Monopoly and properly kissed.
We overcome in 60 seconds,
With the strength we have together.
But for now, emotional ties they stay severed.
And when there's trust, there'll be treats,
When we funk we'll hear beats,
Karmacoma.

So what we did
would redefine
the perfect function
to realize
some kind of
potential...
And underneath
the paper dress
she knows we're different
shoulders and a neck
shrug away this distance

Now in my home
and in my car
I can't help but
hold my thoughts
eventually
drink back to this day

Wherever we go
Wherever we go
This ghost will follow

Wherever we go
Wherever we go
This ghost will follow

Wherever we go
Wherever we go
This ghost...
AAYYEAHH!!!

Corrosive
Tainted by my sin
I'm spilling blood
And I can't hardly contain it
Corrosive
Hallowing the hand
Stiffened I eat away
Eat
Eat into the surface
Yeah you push it (x bunch of times)
Explosive
More violent more violent
All consuming throbbing
Strait to the circle
Explosive
Move on reaction
I slow it down I slow it
Down, down, down, down
Yeah you push it
I see it, I need it
I see it, I need it
My mind is corrosive
I trip on corrosive
I freak
See through me
My eyes are explosive
I feed on it
Black out
Crucify me
Yeah you push it (x bunch of times)

When the door shuts don't worry about me
it's not attention that I want from you
I need you to trust who I'm gonna be
and in everything I'm going to do

Cuz I'm not afraid of what I don't know
for understanding is all that I earn
what is for sure is I'm going to go
I'm going to live and I'm going to learn...

And I know there will be mistakes that I will make...
but I know that none are worse than chances I don't take... take...

Chorus:
Right before your eyes I am changing... changing...
New life on the inside I am changing... changing...

When the door shuts
it shuts finally
a new person that I have become
I'll follow my heart to my destiny
the living in fear and the sorrow is done
there will be no more feeling that i'm all alone
I will surround myself with things that help me grow...

Right before your eyes I am changing... changing...
New life on the inside I am changing... changing...

Right before your eyes I am changing... changing...
New life on the inside I am changing... changing...(2x)

Right before your eyes...
Right before your eyes....

Hey...stay...nappy roots....yeah...hey..

now if the world was my oyster
baby girl everyday could be red lobster
and you would be draped in pearls
but it's not read the front page herald we need help
sometime i wish i could save the world
till death i wonder if there's any heros left
quiet is kept won't hold my breath
land of the slaves, home of the graves
of war aids, young aids, gone crazed
these military ways in a flak scene

love and basketball
blood and alcohol
cryin' my eyes out
as i watch the tower fall
nowhere is safe, comfort is a coffin man
lookin' out the window duckin' and crawlin' man
daddy your son is callin' man
look at this broken man
with broken plans
thankfull as hell we holdin' hands
now i'm feelin' love used to livin' it up
not givin' a fuck, livin's enough

you got to stand for something

how about some hardcore
save the world
around the globe in ninety days
hell on earth they say its nintey-nine ways
to meet your maker, dare the devil and i bet you be brave
it's just a phase
like in puberty at school to be crazed
i got the classroom bully on my list to behave
and if he cant then i'ma show him what it means to be saved
i'm just a nerd on my last straw
bout ten of this my last call
my self esteem extended like this planet bout to blast off
3 - 2 - 1
feel the black planet
I'm like damn is that granite
that I could be a rapper, a hobo, or some mechanic
that I could be a failure, in fact thats how I planned it
cause I could never say the whole world is too demanding
and I could never video shoes I couldnt handle it
so what if i tried to just do scales and not dibs
and i settled every god in the crib untill then
just prepared for this war to begin so you could stand up

you got to stand for something
(so you can stand up)
you got to stand for something
(understand)
you got to stand for something
(but nothing)

mentally still they whippin' us
30 lashes
ain't no love, ain't no sympathy
them dirty bastards
be washin' our brains with chemicals
it's subliminal
leaving our sight impaired
but its right there
in plain view
claim you
pack a pistol
but the missles are already aimed to shoot
one push of a button and this whole goddamn game is through
all of a sudden there's mushroom clouds
evacuate the crowd
it's too late, it contaminates the unborn child
the symptoms are mild but contagious
without protection its infecting all ages
soon your body's going through stages
all at once the machine rages

right now
(contaminate the planet, do it)
right now
(no time is better than the present)
right now
(we got to see some homie make it)
right now
(im tired of this now)
right now
(exterminate the planet, do it)
right now
(no time is better than the present)
right now
(we got to see some homie make it)
right now
(the time is now)

you got to stand for something

With Precious scents of summer time
the lightning bugs said you were mine--
When I asked you to be kind
I found i had to wait in line--
You told me tales of love gone wrong
but you were paid to sing a long--
I knew the only lover's song
I knew the only lover's song--

Chorus:
I watched your roses fade away
the wings came off your back today--
And I saw all the truth behind
the pretty pictures in my mind--

You angel came a floating down
your halo it fell to the the ground--
The flies swarming into town
and starting circling round and round--
There was a body lyin' there
and whose it was I didn't care--
The prophet aly upon the stair(?)
the funeral was common fare--

[Intro]

well, sit children.
Let me give the subject of the day.

[Verses]

This is new skank, get ready.

Fifa! Wake up!

This is new skank, get ready.

Fifa! Wake up!

This is new skank, get ready.

Fifa! Wake up!

Here we go again.

Fifa! Wake up!

Quietly thinking to myself
Sharing half our mind instead of none
The shaking's just begun
The pleasantries are gone,
This sad exchange pleased neither one of us

So we finally gave up
The meanings tend to give out
The Time was gone to act out
this living torture, living torture

No talking When I want you to Listen
No talking cuz' it's Living torture, Living torture

Don't know why, don't know why, we can't stand aside
There are all too many faces, we dont see right
If I had known back then
Whatever I know now
I'd think I'd have answers but I don't know why

So we finally gave up
The Meanings tend to give out
The Time was gone to act out
But Here I am and I'm still living

No talking when I want you to listen
No Talking cuz' it's Living Torture, Living Torture
No talking when I want you to listen
Don't tell me what I'm trying to say to you

Both of us know
What it sounds like in my mind
Now both of us know
What it sounds It Sounds like
Both of us know
What it sounds like in my mind
Now both of us know
Now both of us know

No talking when I want you to listen
No Talking cuz' it's Living Torture, Living Torture
No talking when I want you to listen
Don't tell me what I'm trying to say to you

Quietly thinking to myself
This sad exchange pleased neither one of us

Watch your lie.

Warm lips and big smile,
as me your mind runs wild
This game you play I like in a way

You expect to grab a child
You think I'm innocent not wild.
Take me let's see how much I'm tamed.

Everybody listen while I become all I know,
how to live for sure - body wall into
my precious soul. I'll show you fears,
pleasure pain is my control. Let your body
lay in there, warm flesh to your fear.

Warm lips and big smile.
Hatred runs through your insides.
This game you play - intimidation each day

You think its all a lie (all a lie);
they want to destroy your life.
Anger twisted your life into pain

I wish I could take control
I wish I could let go
I wish I could break this mould
Inside I'm so fuckin' cold

I'm comin', I'm comin', I'm comin' on you...

Warm lips and big smile, as me your mind runs wild.
This game you play I like in a way.

You expect to grab a child (grab a child);
you think I'm innocent not wild.
Take me - let's see how much I'm tamed.

Everybody listen while I become all I know,
how to live for sure - body wall into
my precious soul.
I'll show you fears, pleasure pain is my control.
Let your body lay in there,
warm flesh to your fear.

I wish I could lose control
I wish I could let go
I wish I could break this mould
Inside I'm so fuckin' cold

Weapons inside so the truth unfolds.

I am done...
That was so fun...
This one's real...
How'd it feel?

What's comin', what's comin', what's comin' on you?

I'm comin', I'm comin', I'm comin' on you...
