MORE TO COME!!
I would die for you.
I would die for you.
I've been dying just to feel you by my side...to know that you're mine.
I would cry for you.
I would cry for you.
I would wash away your pain with all my tears...and drown your fears.
I will pray for you.
I will pray for you.
I sell my soul for something pure and true...someone like you.
See your face every place that I walk in.
Hear your voice every time that I'm talking.
You will believe in me...and I would never be ignored.
I will burn for you.
Feel pain for you.
I will twist the knife and bleed my aching heart...and tear it apart.
I will lie for you.
Beg and steal for you.
I will crawl on hands and knees until you see...you're just like me.
Violate all the love that I'm missing.
Throw away all the pain that I'm living.
You will believe in me...and I will never be ignored.
I would die for you.
I would kill for you.
I will steal for you.
I'd do time for you.
I will wait for you.
I'll tail ships for you.
To be close to you.
To be part of you.
'Cause I believe in you.
I believe in you....
I would die for you.
I hate the world today.
You're so good to me, I know, but I can't change.
Tried to tell you, but you look at me like maybe I'm an angel underneith,
Innocent and sweet.
Yesterday I cried.
You must have been relieved to see the softer side.
I can understand how you'd be so confused, I don't envy you.
I'm a little bit of everthing...all rolled into one.
I'm a bitch, I'm a lover
I'm a child, I'm a mother
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed.
I'm your hell, I'm your dream
I'm nothing in between,
You know you wouldn't want it any other way.
So take me as I am,
This may mean you'll have to be a stronger man.
Rest assured that when I start to make you nervous,
And I'm going to extremes,
Tomorrow I will change and today won't mean a thing.
I'm a bitch, I'm a lover
I'm a child, I'm a mother
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed.
I'm your hell, I'm your dream
I'm nothing in between,
You know you wouldn't want it any other way.
Just when you think you got me figured out,
The season's already changing.
I think it's cool you do what you do,
And don't try to save me.
I'm a bitch, I'm a lover
I'm a child, I'm a mother
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed.
I'm your hell, I'm your dream
I'm nothing in between,
You know you wouldn't want it any other way.
I'm a bitch, I'm a tease
I'm a goddess on my knees
When you're hurt, when you suffer
I'm your angel undercover
I've been numb, I'm revived
Can't say I'm not alive,
You know I would'nt want it any other way.
That old dog has chained you up alright
Give you everything you need
To live inside a twisted cage
Sleep beside an empty rage
I had a dream I was your hero
Damn! I wish I was your lover
I'll rock you till the daylight comes
Make sure you are smiling and warm
I am everything
Tonight I'll be your mother
I will do such things to ease your pain
Free your mind and you won't feel ashamed
Open up on the inside, gonna fill you up, gonna make you cry.
This monkey can't stand to see you black and blue
Give you something sweet each time you
Come inside my jungle book
What is it just too good
Don't say you'll stay, 'cause then you'll go away
Damn! I wish I was your lover
I'll rock you till the daylight comes
Make sure you are smiling and warm
I am everything
Tonight I'll be your mother
I will do such things to ease your pain
Free your mind and you won't feel ashamed
Shucks, for me there is no other
You're the only shoe that fits
I can't imagine I'll grow out of it
Damn! I wish I was your lover
If I was your girl, believe me
I'd turn on the Rolling Stones
We could groove along and feel much better
I could do it forever and ever
Give me an hour to kiss you
Walk through Heaven's door I'm sure
We don't need no doctor to feel much better
Let me in
For ever and ever and ever and ever...
I sat on a mountainside with peace of mind
I lay by the ocean making love to hear with visions clear
Walked for days with no one near
And I returned as chained and bound to you
Damn! I wish I was your lover
I'll rock you till the daylight comes
Make sure you are smiling and warm
I am everything
Tonight I'll be your mother
I will do such things to ease your pain
Free your mind and you won't feel ashamed
Shucks! For me there is no other
You're the only shoe that fits
I can't imagine I'll grow out of if
Damn! I wish I was your lover
Just open up, I'm gonna come inside, I'm gonna fill you up, I wanna make you cry...
(Damn! I wish I was your lover)
Gettin' on the subway and I'm comin' uptown...
(Damn! I wish I was your lover)
Standing on a street corner waiting for my love to change...
(Damn! I wish I was your lover)
Feelin' like a school boy, too shy and too young...
(Damn! I wish I was your lover)
Open up, I wanna come inside, I wanna fill you up, I wanna make you cry...
(Damn! I wish I was your lover)
Gettin' o my camel and I'll ride it uptown...
(Damn! I wish I was your lover)
Hanging around this jungle, wishing that this...
You took your coat off...and stood in the rain
You were always crazy like that.
And I watched from my window
Always felt I was outside, looking in on you.
You were always the mysterious one
With dark eyes and careless hair.
You were fashionably sensitive but to cool to care.
You stood in my doorway with nothing to say
Besides some comment on the weather...
Well in case you failed to notice,
In case you failed to see,
This is my heart bleeding before you
This is me down on my knees.
These foolish games are tearing me apart
And your thoughtless words are breaking my heart...
Breaking my heart.
You're always brilliant in the morning,
Smoking your cigarettes and talking over coffee.
Your philosophies are non baroque mood, do you love Mozart?
And you'd speak of your loved ones,
As I clumsily strummed my guitar.
Well excuse me, 'cause I've mistaken you for somebody else.
Somebody who gave a damn,
Somebody more like myself.
These foolish games are tearing me, you're tearing me, you're tearing me apart!
And your thoughtless words are breaking my heart....
You're breaking my heart.
You took your coat off...and stood in the rain
You were always crazy like that...
Love is blindness
I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night around me
Take my heart
Love is blindness
In a parked car
On a crowded street
You see your love made complete
Thread is ripping
The knot is slipping
Love is blindness
Love is clockworks
And cold steel
Fingers too numb to feel
Squeeze the handle
Blow out the candle
Love is blindness
Love is blindness
I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night around me
Oh my love...
Blindness
A little death without mourning
No call and no warning
Baby...a dangerous idea
It almost makes sense
Love is drowning in a deep well
All the secrets and no one to tell
Take the money, honey
Blindness
Love is blindness
I don't want to see
Won't you wrap the night around me
Oh my love
Blindness
Is it getting better?
Or do you feel the same?
Does it make it easier on you, now?
You've got someone to blame
You say
One love
One live
When it's one need in the night
It's one love
We get to share it
It leaves you baby if you don't care for it
Did I disappoint you?
Or leave a bad taste in your mouth?
You act like you never had love
And you want me to go without
Well it's too late
Tonight
To drag the past out into the light
We're one
But we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other
One
Have you come here for forgiveness?
Have you come to raise the dead?
Have you come here to play Jesus to the lepers in your head?
Did I ask too much?
More than a lot?
You give me nothing, now it's all I got
We're one
But we're not the same
We hurt each other
Then we do it again
You say
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
Love is a temple
Love a higher law
You ask me to enter
But then you make me crawl
And I can't keep holding on to what you've got
When all you've got is hurt.
One love
One blood
One life you've got to do what you should
One life
With each other
Sisters
Brothers
One life
But we're not the same
We get to carry each other
Carry each other
One
One
Pale September, I wore the time like a dress that year
The autumn days swung soft around me, like cotton on my skin
But as the embers of the summer lost their breath and disappeared
My heart went cold and only hollow rhythms resounded from within
But then he rose, brilliant as the moon in full
And sank in the burrows of my keep
And all my armour falling down, in a pile at my feet
And my winter giving way to warm, as I'm singing him to sleep
He goes along just as a water lily
Gentle on the surface of his thoughts his body floats
Unweighted down by passion or intensity
Yet unaware of the depth upon which he coasts
And he finds a home in me
For what misfortune sows, he knows my touch will reap
And all my armour falling down, in a pile at my feet
And my winter giving way to warm, as I'm singing him to sleep
And all my armour falling down, in a pile at my feet
And my winter giving way to warm, as I'm singing him to sleep
Sometimes is never quite enough
If you're flawless, then you'll win my love
Don't forget to win first place
Don't forget to keep that smile on your face
Be a good boy
Try a little harder
You've got to measure up
And make me prouder
How long before you screw it up
And how many times do I have to tell you to hurry up
With everything I do for you
The least you could do is keep quiet
Be a good girl
You've gotta try a little harder
That simply wasn't good enough
To make us proud
I'll live through you
I'll make you what I never was
If you're the best, then maybe so am I
Compared to him, compared to her
I'm doing this for your own damn good
You'll make up for what I blew
What's the problem...why are you crying
Be a good boy
Push a little farther now
That wasn't fast enough
To make us happy
We'll love you just the way you are...if you're perfect
Listen as the wind blows from accross the great divide
Voices trapped in yearing, memories trapped in time.
The night is my companion, and solitude my guide
Would I spend forever here and not be satisfied?
And I would be the one to hold you down
Kiss you so hard.
I'll take your breath away,
And after, I'd wipe away the tears
Just close your eyes dear.
Through this world I've stumbled, so many times betrayed
Trying to find an honest word, to find the truth enslaved.
Oh, you speak to me in riddles,
You speak to me in rhymes.
My body aches to breathe your breath,
Your words keep me alive.
And I would be the one to hold you down
Kiss you so hard.
I'll take your breath away,
And after, I'd wipe away the tears
Just close your eyes dear.
Into this night I wander, it's morning that I dread.
Another day of knowing of the path I fear to tread.
Oh, into the sea of waking dreams,
I follow without pride.
Nothing stands between us here,
And I won't be denied.
And I would be the one to hold you down
Kiss you so hard.
I'll take your breath away,
And after, I'd wipe away the tears
Just close your eyes dear...
You like snow, but only if it's warm
You like rain, but only if it's dry
There's no sentimental value to the rose that fell on your floor
And there's no fundamental excuse for the granted I'm taken for
'Cause it's easy not to
So much easier not to
And what goes around never comes around to you
You like pain, but only if it doesn't hurt too much
You sit...and you wait...to recieve
There's an obvious attration to the path of least resistance in your life
And there's an obvious aversion no amount of my insistance could make you try tonight
'Cause it's easy not to
So much easier not to
And what goes around never comes around to you
To you, to you, to you, to you, to you...
There's no love, no money, no thrill anymore.
Well there's an apprehensive naked little trembling boy
With his head in his hands
And there's an underestimated and impatient little girl
Raising her hand
But it's easy not to
So much easier not to
And what goes around never comes around to you
To you, to you
Get up, get up, get up off of it
Get up, get up, get up off of it
Get out, get outta here, enough already
Get up, get upm get up off of it
Wake up
Snow can wait, I forgot my mittens
Wipe my nose, get my new boots on
I get a little warm in my heart when I think of winter
I put my hand in my father's glove.
I run off where the DRIFTS GET DEEPER
Sleeping beauty trips me with a frown
I hear a voice, "You must learn to stand up
For yourself 'cause I can't always be around."
He says, When you gonna make up your mind?
When you gonna love you as much as I do?
When you gonna make up your mind?
'Cause things are gonna CHANGE so fast.
All the white horses are still in bed
I tell you that I'll always want you near
You say that things change, my dear.
Boys get discovered as winter MELTS
Flowers competing for the sun
Years go by and I'm here still waiting
Withering where some snowman was
Mirror, mirror where's the crystal palace
But I only can see myself
SKATING around the truth who I am
But I know dad, the ice is getting thin.
When you gonna make up your mind?
When you gonna love you as much as I do?
When you gonna make up your mind?
'Cause things are gonna change so fast.
All the white horses are still in bed
I tell you that I always want you near
You say that things change, my dear.
Hair is grey and the fires are burning
So many dreams on the shelf
You say, "I wanted you to be PROUD of me."
I always wanted that myself...
When you gonna make up your mind?
When you gonna love you as much as I do?
When you gonna make up your mind?
'Cause things are gonna change so fast.
All the WHITE HORSES have gone ahead
I tell you that I'll always want you near.
You say that things change, my dear.
