A THOUSAND DAYS (1989)

Ask me no questions and I'll tell you

I'll tell you no lies

When all is said and done

Does it really matter who's wrong or right

Don't ask me for a reason, I can't explain

Why we hurt one another again and again

As I lie bleeding here I still

I still reach for you

A thousand days

Have passed away

A thousand days

Were captured in her eyes

Your eyes are open now but you know

It's still hard to see inside

When action and intention

Are two seperate things

Now I somehow wish I could explain

Why we hurt each other again and again

Like someone on his dying breath

I still reach for you

A thousand days

Have passed away

A thousand days

Were captured in her eyes

Forever we've been

Trapped by our hearts

Trapped by our minds

I'd like to leave

I'd like to win at love

But I just can't let it go

And I just can't watch it slipping away

And I just can't let it go

And I just can't stand another minute

Maybe now someday our shattered live

Will mend themselves again

But now a million miles away

I still wish I could

And though I somehow know, I can't explain

Why we hurt one another again and again

Like someone on his dying breath

I still reach for you

Demons (Mexican Fiesta) (1989)

Clouds pass over the moon

Like an eye that shows impending doom

Tension in this misty air

Souls pass into the room

Drawn in by a lost memory

You will join them in the moonlight

You are my offering

Your soul transcends

The centuries of pain

Your misery in life

Is your ecstasy in death

Time passes like the wind

As we race to beat days dusky grin

Mornings just a moment away

Your body glistens in candelight

As we all look on in fiendish delight

The ritual is just beginning

Come fulfill the prophecy

With our demons of debauchery

As virgins and spectres sing

This madness will never cease

In the dead of night

You will follow

In the footsteps of many others

Who have come before

I will show you the altar

Your Aztec eyes, Egyptian hair

Your beauty bestoved upon my lair

I've loved you before, in other lives

But you've never meant as much to me

Never meant as much to me as now

In this night of sacrifice

Where blood is split

That will never split again

But in your linien robes

We want you know

We want you know

You could never ask for more than that

You are my offering

Your soul trnscends

The centuries of pain

Your misery in life

Is your ecstasy in death

Come fulfill the prophecy

With our demons of ddebauchery

This madness will never cease

I'LL BE WAITING (1989)

Once I had a friend that I could count on

So I thought

Well so it seemed

But times of need are not enough

To prove your friendship to me now

Once I saw a face that I believe in

But a mask was all there was

So who wears the masks and who wears the faces

Well I guess I'll never know

But as I stand here alone in a room full of people

With nothing to say

Beer on their minds, and smoke in the air

Call them feiends but they just don't care

Friend for life

Such shallow words for broken minds

Show me friend for life

'Cause I'll be waiting for that day to arrive

When I'll feel alive

I'll be waiting for that day

Once I found a love I had to know

Now we might know each other just too well

'Cause when we're toghether we just can't get enough

Or is it we just can't get what we want

Once I saw a dream, I had to chase it

Dreams quickly turn to reality

Who's at fault in this game of yours and mine

Well I guess I'll never know

But as I sit here alone

Think of the girl who once came softly inside me

The look in her eyes, the smell of her hair

Call her my own but is she really there?

Love for life

Such noble words for noble minds

Show me love for life

'Cause I'll be waiting for that day to arrive

When I'll feel alive

I'll be aiting for that day

Once I had a friend that I could count on

Times of need are not enough

Once I found a love I had to know

Now we might know each other too well

Once I saw a dream I had to chase

Dreams quickly turn to reality

Now let me close my eyes

Because I don't want to see anything anymore

CROSSROADS (1989)

Time has washed away

And now I may wonder

How did it all slip by

Cause I always thought

We had forever

Future calls to me

To take me away from things

I don't want to leave behind

Like I'm slipping away

I can't hold on

Find that path alone

Crossroads lead me away

But that's not what worries me

I just want to know what's home

Through it all

My mind still wanders

To the one who touched my soul

Though her road leads away

She's still my

True love

I could believe

Will is not enough when all those

Lost days stand in the way

But she was

My hopes and dreams my

Whole world

I could believe

I still want to know

Who can see for me

Crossroads tell me

Now you'll have to trade

Your past away

And find another day

So is change a friend or an enemy

Through what comes to pass

I'll find my way

I've seen it all before

But is the best you can be

The best thing to be

Some people say

You're just wasting time

But that's not what worries me

I just want to know what's home

JENNIFER LOST THE WAR (1989)

Jennifer lost the war today

You'll find her burned and raped

Through it all

She must have wondered

What have I done

But nobody really cares today

The world's a busy place

Guess she must have really sinned

I guess we're all just soldiers

She was only six years old

Left to die by strangers

Her family waits

And if we're all just soldiers

Is it so wrong to be afraid

Phoebe lost the war today

There must be some mistake

Say it happens all the time

And it's said and done

And Little Miss 1565 Your soul remains unclaimed

Guess you must have really sinned

Morality won't help her

When she lies silent in a morgue

And all our sorrows just don't count at all

But will the morning headlines

Even say that it's a shame

What are we headin' for

Seen it all before

Silent on the ground

As he's walking away

And I wonder how many more

Everybody takes it

Like it's nothing at all

Jennifer lost the war

SESSION (1992)

I don't know when it got this way

I don't know how long she's gonna stay

Every week it's the same in her room

That's why I came

Here I go, I go again

Our rendezvous never seem to end

I know where I'll be, I'll make this confession

Back in her bed for another goddamn session

I'll never learn

God knows I try

Keep coming back for session

And I don't know why

I'll never learn, I'll never see

Just tell me why these sessions got a hold on me

Some might say it's a fling

For all I know it don't mean a thing

Either way I can't complain

Ain't no strings

Guess I got it made

Here I go, I go again

Our rendezvous' never seem to end

I know where I'll be

I'll make this confession

Back in her bed for another goddamn session

DIRTY MAGIC (1992)

I've been told that to get what you want

In my own simple way

I think she wants me only

She said," Come over right away."

But she's just not that way

Her little soul is stolen

See her put on her brand new face

Pull the shades

Razor blades

You're so tragic

I hate you so but love you more

I'm so elastic

The things you say

Games you play

Dirty magic

I should know better than to think I'd reach inside her

It's all a cloudy kind of daze

She's not so sweet today

She mocks me, I'm no fighther

It all just seems like such a waste

It's oversimplified

SELF ESTEEM (1994)

I wrote her off for the tenth time today

And practiced all the things I would say

But she came over

I lost my nerve

I took her back and made her dessert

Now I know I'm being used

That's okay cause I've got no self esteem

We make plans to go out at night

I wait till 2 then I turn out the light

All this rejection's got me so low

If she keeps it up I just might tell her so

When she's saying that she wants only me

Then I wonder why she sleeps with my friends

When she's saying that I'm like a disease

Then I wonder how much more I can spend

Well I guess I should stick up for myself

But I really think it's better this way

The more you suffer

The more it shows you really care Right?

Now I'll relate this a little bit

That happens more than I'd like to admit

Late at night she knocks on my door

Drunk again and looking to score

Now I know I should say no

But that's kind of hard when she's ready to go

I may be dumb

But I'm not a dweeb

I'm just a sucker with no self esteem

Me & My Old Lady (1997)

She ain't no ball and chain

She ain't no ball and chain

My and my old lady

Lay in bed all day

And when I say I love her

Well she rolls the other way

But really she don't mean it

Everything she says

Still if I believe in love

There's nothing wrong

There's nothing wrong with my head

Me and my old lady

Sit and sip on wine

And when she says she loves me

Well I say that love is blind

But really I don't mean it

Everything I say

Still if she believe in love

There's nothing wrong

There's nothing wrong with her head

So what if we're making a scene now

You know she don't give a shit

When she's pawing' and grabbin' on me now

You know I don't mind a bit

It's all good and we ain't gonna change now

The world is unaware

So if you want go on and stare

'Cause we don't care

She ain't no ball and chain

She ain't no ball and chain

Me and my old lady

Suck each other dry

And when in that position

I'm the luckiest man alive

Quenching our libidos

Passing time away

Now that we believe in love

There's nothing wrong

There's nothing wron with our heads

She's Got Issues (1998)

I'm seeing this girl and she just might be out of her mind

Well she's got baggage and it's all the emotional kind

She talks about closure and that validation bit

I don't mean to be insensitive, but I really hate that shit

Oh man she's got issues

And I'm gonna pay

She thinks she's the victim

Yeah

Now I know she'll feel abandoned

If I don't stay over late

And I know she's afraid to commit

But it's only our second date

Oh man she's got issues

And I'm gonna pay

She thinks she's the victim

But she takes it all out on me

I don't know why you're messed up

I don't know why your whole life is a chore

Just do me a favor

And check your baggage at the door

Now she talks about her ex nonstop, but I don't mind

But when she calls out his name in bed

That's where I draw the line

You told me a hundred times how your father left and he's gone

But I wish you wouldn't call me daddy

When we're gettin' it on

Oh man she's got issues

And I'm gonna pay

She's playing the victim

And taking it all out on me

My god she's got issues

And I'm gonna pay

If you think I'm controlling

Then why do you follow me around

If you're not co-dependent

Then why do you let others drag you down

I don't know why you're messed up

I don't know why your whole life is a chore

Just do me a favor

And check your baggage at the door
