Lyrics From Nine Lives

Nine Lives

   (Tyler, Perry, Frederiksen)

   Well well well
   I feel just like I'm fallin' in love
   There's a new cool
   Some kind of verbooty
   That fits me like a velvet glove

   And it's cool
   Shu bop a doo ba
   She's talkin' to me Juba to Jive
   Yeah, the girl's in love
   No doubt about it
   The moment of truth has arrived

   And in a wink
   The funk was all around me
   And I think
   I'm dead in love again

   Nine Lives
   Feelin' lucky
   Nine Lives
   Live again
   Nine Lives
   It ain't over
   Nine Lives
   Live for ten

   I got good luck
   In certain situations
   I'm feelin' like I hung the moon
   And then at times
   I'm so weak from lovin'
   I couldn't even carry a tune

   But now I'm back
   Oh yes I am
   I maybe fall apart at the seams
   I had a nightmare
   Believe me when I tell you
   Nobody ever dies in their dreams

   I think I need a stay of execution
   In a wink, I'm dead in love again

   Nine Lives
   Puss and booty
   Nine Lives
   Live again
   Nine Lives
   It ain't over
   Nine Lives
   Live for ten

   Well well well
   Engine room to bombardier
   Is this a dream
   I died and went to Heaven
   She's enough to make you
   Cry in your beer

   How can a good thing
   7 come 11
   Slip into a fare thee well
   And how can one man's
   Little bit o' Heaven
   Turn into another man's Hell

   I think I need a stay of execution
   Yeah I know, I'm dead in love again

   Nine Lives
   Hello lucky
   Nine Lives
   Live again
   Nine Lives
   It ain't over
   Nine Lives
   Try for ten

   Nine Lives
   Takin' over
   Nine Lives
   Live again
   Nine Lives
   It ain't over
   Nine Lives
   Live for ten

   Nine Lives
   Hello lucky
   Nine Lives
   Live again
   Nine Lives
   It ain't over
   Nine Lives
   Live for ten

Falling In Love (Is Hard On The Knees)

   (Tyler, Perry, Ballard)

   You're so bad
   You're so bad
   You're so
   You're so bad
   You're so bad
   You're so

   You think you're in love
   Like it's a real sure thing
   But every time you fall
   You get your ass in a sling
   You used to be strong
   But now it's ooh baby please
   'Cause falling in love is so hard on the knees

   You're so bad
   You're so bad
   You're so
   You're so bad
   You're so bad
   You're so

   We was making love when you told me that you loved me
   I thought ol' cupid he was taking aim
   I was believer when you told me that you loved me
   And then you called me someone else's name

   There ain't gonna be no more beggin' you please
   You know what I want
   And it ain't one of these
   You're bad to the bone
   And your girlfriend agrees
   That falling in love is so hard on the knees

   You're so bad
   You're so bad
   You're so
   You're so bad
   You're so bad
   You're so

   Chip off the old block
   Man you're so much like your sister
   My fantasize it must be out of luck
   My old libido has been blowing a transistor
   I feel like I have been hit by a fuck

   I'm Jonesin' on love
   Yeah I got the DT's
   You say that we will
   But there ain't no guarantees
   I'm major in love
   But in all minor keys
   Cause falling in love is so hard on the knees

   What are you looking for
   It's got to be hard core
   Must be some kind of nouveau riche

   Is this your only chance
   Or some hypnotic trance
   Let's get you on a tighter leash

   Own it own it own it

   You're so bad
   You're so bad
   You're so
   You're so bad
   You're so bad
   You're so

   You ain't that good
   Is what you said down to the letter
   But you like the way I hold the microphone
   Sometimes I'm good but when I'm bad
   I'm even better
   Don't give me no lip
   I've got enough of my own

   There ain't gonna be no more beggin' you please
   You know what I want
   And it ain't one of these
   You're bad to the bone
   And your girlfriend agrees
   That falling in love is so hard on the knees

   I'm Jonesin' on love
   Yeah I got the DT's
   You say that we will yeah
   But there ain't no guarantees
   I'm major in love
   But in all minor keys
   'Cause falling in love is so hard on the knees

Hole In My Soul

   (Tyler, Perry, Child)

   I'm down a one way street
   With a one night stand
   With a one track mind
   Out in no man's land
   The punishment sometimes don't seem to fit the crime

   Yeah there's a hole in my soul
   But one thing I've learned
   For every love letter written
   There's another one burned
   So you tell me how it's gonna be this time

   Is it over
   Is it over
   'Cause I'm blowin' out the flame

   Chorus:
      Take a walk outside your mind
      Tell me how it feels to be
      The one who turns the knife inside of me
      Take a look and you will find
      There's nothing there girl, yeah I swear
      I'm telling you girl yeah 'cause
      There's a hole in my soul
      That's been killing me forever
      It's a place where a garden never grows
      There's a hole in my soul
      Yeah I should have known better
      'Cause your love's like a thorn without a rose

   I'm as dry as a seven year drought
   I got dust for tears
   And I'm all tapped out
   Sometimes I feel broke and can't get fixed

   I know there's been all kinds of shoes underneath your bed
   Now I sleep with my boots on but you're still in my head
   Something tells me this time I'm down to my last licks

   'Cause if it's over
   Then it's over
   And it's driving me insane

   Chorus

   Is it over
   Yeah it's over
   And I'm blowin' out the flame

   Chorus

   Yeah
   Is it over
   Yeah then it's over
   And I'm blowin' out the flame

   Chorus

Taste Of India

   (Tyler, Perry, Ballard) 

   God I love the sweet taste of India
   Lingers on the tip of my tongue
   Gotta love the sweet taste of India
   Blame it on the beat of a drum

   God I love the sweet taste of India
   Lingers on the tip of my tongue
   Gotta know that what's gotten into ya
   Any cat man do when it's done

   Yeah she got that kind of love incense
   That lives in her back room
   When it mixes with the funk my friend
   It turns into perfume

   When you are born you're afraid of the darkness
   And then you're afraid of the light
   But I'm not afraid when I dance with my shadow

   This time I'm gonna get it right
   To think of what I'll get tonight
   Just lookin' for a little taste, a taste of India
   She'll steal the smile right off your face

   Her yin and yang
   Is just the thing
   She's unpredictable my friend

   God I love the sweet taste of India
   Lingers on the tip of my tongue
   Gotta know that what's gotten into ya
   Any cat man do when it's done

   It's like your first taste love of vindaloo
   That sets your heart on fire
   And if you let her stuff get into you
   It will be all that you desire

   When you make love to the sweet tantric priestess
   You drink in the bliss of delight
   But I'm not afraid when I dance with her shadow

   This time I'm gonna get it right
   She's gonna whet my appetite
   Just lookin' for a little taste, a taste of India
   She'll steal the smile right off your face

   She friend of mine
   She concubine
   The sweetest wine
   I gotta make her mine

   God I love the sweet taste of India
   Lingers on the tip of my tongue
   Gotta love the sweet taste of India
   Blame it on the beat of a drum

   God I love the sweet taste of India
   Lingers on the tip of my tongue
   Gotta know that what's gotten into ya
   Any cat man do when it's done

   Just think of what I'll get tonight
   She's gonna whet my appetite
   Just lookin' for a little taste, a taste of India
   She'll steal the smile right off your face

Full Circle

   (Tyler, Rhodes)

   If I could change the world
   Like a fairy tale
   I would drink the love
   From your Holy Grail
   I would start with love
   Tell ol' Beelzebub
   To get outta town
   'Cause you just lost your job
   How did we get so affected
   'Cause I think
   Love is love reflected

   Chorus:
      Time
      Don't let it slip away
      Raise yo' drinkin' glass
      Here's to yesterday

      In time
      We're all gonna trip away
      Don't piss Heaven off
      We got Hell to pay
      Come full circle

   And if
   There's a spell on you that
   I could take away
   I would do the deed
   Yeah and by the way
   Here's to Heaven knows
   As the circle goes
   It ain't right
   I'm uptight
   Yeah and get off my toes

   I used to think that every little thing I did was crazy
   But now I think the Karma cops are comin' after you

   Chorus

   Every time you get yourself caught up inside
   Of someone else's crazy dream
   Own it, yeah that's a mistake
   Everybody's gotta lotta nada killing them
   Instead of killing time

   Time
   Don't let it slip away
   Raise yo' drinkin' glass
   Here's to yesterday

   In time
   We're all gonna trip away
   Don't piss Heaven off
   We got Hell to pay

   Chorus

   Circle, circle, circle
   Circle, circle, circle, circle

   Time
   Don't let it slip away
   Raise yo' drinkin' glass
   Here's to yesterday

   In time
   We're all gonna trip away
   Don't piss Heaven off
   We got Hell to pay

Something's Gotta Give

   (Tyler, Perry, Frederiksen)

   Cyberotic head explode
   Information overload
   And I just can't take anymore
   And I'm gonna break

   Something's gotta give
   Tell me when to turn the screw
   Does the noise in my head bother you
   Something's gotta give
   Comic books are comin' true
   Does the noise in my head bother you

   Digerotic mass appeal
   Feels like flesh but tastes unreal
   And I'm gonna break

   Chorus:
      Something's gotta give
      Tell me when to turn the screw
      Does the noise in my head bother you
      Something's gotta give
      Don't you like it
      Tell me true
      Does the noise in my head bother you
      Something's gotta give
      Hold your breath 'til you turn blue
      Does the noise in my head bother you
      Something's gotta give
      Comic books are comin' true
      Does the noise in my head bother you

   If love that seemed to fall from grace
   Was sitting on your interface
   Your megahertz she can't forgive
   Your love it died before you ever lived

   Chorus

Ain't That A Bitch

   (Tyler, Perry, Child)

   Up in smoke you've lost another lover
   As you take a hit off your last cigarette
   Strung out, burnt out
   Yeah you're down on your luck
   And you don't give a huh
   'Til the best part of you starts to twitch
   Ain't that a bitch

   Freak out
   I'm alone now
   I feel just like I'm losin' my mind
   'Cause love is like the right dress
   On the wrong girl
   You never know what you're gonna find
   You think you're high and fine as wine
   Then you wind up like a dog in a ditch
   'Cause love is like a wrong turn
   On a cold night
   Yeah ain't that a bitch
   Ain't that a bitch

   In a daze
   In the throes of emotion
   You see God in the Devil's eyes
   Then you fall so far from grace
   You wouldn't know a kiss
   If it was on your face
   You could tell it to the jury
   But you ain't got no case

   Freak out
   I'm alone now
   I feel just like I'm losin' my mind
   'Cause love is like the right dress
   On the wrong girl
   You never know what you're gonna find
   The gal was fine as calamine but not
   Enough to scratch a seven year itch
   'Cause love is like the last licks
   Outta Hendrix
   Yeah ain't that a bitch
   Ain't that a bitch

   Then you feel so out of place
   Lickin' up the arsenic
   From the same old lace
   You know the stuff is poison
   But you gotta have a taste

   You gotta
   Freak out
   I'm alone now
   I feel just like I'm losin' my mind
   'Cause love is like the right dress
   On the wrong girl
   You never know what you're gonna find
   You think you're high and fine as wine
   Then you wind up with your face in the ditch
   'Cause love is like a warm gun
   On a cold night
   Yeah ain't that a bitch
   Ain't that a bitch

The Farm

   (Tyler, Perry, Hudson, Dudas) 

   There's a cockroach in my coffee
   There's a needle in my arm
   And I feel like New York Cittay
   Get me to the farm

   Get me to the farm
   Get me to the farm
   Somebody get me to the farm

   I got terminal uniqueness
   I'm an egocentric man
   I get caught up in my freakness
   But I ain't no Peter Pan
   Get me to the farm

   Get me to the farm
   Get me to the farm
   Get me

   Buckle up straight jack
   Sanity is such a drag
   Jellybean thorazine
   Transcendental jet lag

   Sanity I ain't gotta
   Feeling like a pinata
   Sucker punch
   Blowin' lunch
   Motherload
   Pigeonholed
   I'm feeling like I'm gonna explode

   I wanna be a Hare Krishna
   Tattoo a dot right on my head
   And the prozac is my fixer
   I am the living dead

   Take me to the farm
   Take me to the farm
   Somebody take me to the farm
   Somebody take me to the farm

   Take me to the farm
   Take me to the farm
   Somebody take me to the farm
   Somebody take me to the farm

   Take me to the farm
   Take me to the farm
   Take me to the farm

   Take me to the farm
   Take me to the farm
   Take me to the farm

   Take me to the farm
   Take me to the farm
   Take me to the farm

   Take me to the farm
   Take me to the farm
   Somebody take me to the farm

Crash

   (Tyler, Perry, Hudson, Miller)

   Sitting on a castle
   On the floor with Esmeralda
   Waiting for the Geezer
   Captain Crunch to come around
   Feeling suicidal
   'Coz of certain situations
   Hanging from the stairs too long
   I think I'm coming down

   It's time to crash
   Losin' my mind, losin' my mind, losin' my mind
   Yeah it's time to crash
   Crash

   It's time to crash
   Losin' my mind, losin' my mind, losin' my mind
   Losin' my mind and it's time to crash
   Crash

   Doin' tons of colon blow
   Stuffing it in every hole
   Miles high so am I
   Watching Jimi kiss the sky
   Salle diner becomes a blur
   With everybody jammin'
   Republicans begin to sin
   The batwings starts slamming

   It's time to crash
   Losin' my mind, losin' my mind, losin' my mind
   And it's time to crash
   Crash

   Crash
   It's time to
   Losin' my mind, losin' my mind, losin' my mind
   Maybe it's a little late but it's time to crash
   Crash

   You drive me crazy
   You drive me crazy
   You drive me crazy

   Captain Billy Beemish
   Put a lamb up on a rack
   Thanks for coming Billy
   And we hope you're comin' back
   The castle will be waiting
   For the next bangers and mash
   Blanche and Marsha Reznick
   Put their marmite with their hash

   Crash
   What's been goin' on
   Been losin' my mind, losin' my mind, losin' my mind
   And it's time to crash
   Crash

      losin' my mind

Kiss Your Pass Good-bye

   (Tyler, Hudson)

   Finders keepers losers weep
   Down on 42nd Street
   Bare-foot children cryin' my oh my
   I watched you on the avenue
   While other men were having you
   I think that you should let your caged bird fly

   And kiss your past good-bye
   Kiss your past good-bye
   Kiss your past good-bye
   Kiss your past good-bye

   I've been so lost I must confess
   I've had my share of loneliness
   But yeah it's hard to keep a good man down
   The loves you lost were all in vain
   The past lives on inside your brain
   I don't think you need those memories
   Hangin' 'round, yeah

   Good-bye
   Kiss your past good-bye
   You've gotta let it fly
   And kiss your past good-bye

   Kiss your past good-bye
   Kiss your past good-bye

   And if that bird don't fly away
   There's just one thing I got to say

   It's later than a deuce a ticks
   Your broken heart, it needs a fix
   You're feedin' off a high that would not last
   And people they don't seem to care
   And sorry just don't cut it, yeah
   It seems to me you're gettin' nowhere fast

   So kiss
   Your
   Past

   Or kiss your ass good-bye
   Kiss your past good-bye
   There's no more tears to cry

   So kiss your past good-bye
   Kiss your past good-bye

   Or kiss your ass good-bye

Pink

   (Tyler, Supa, Ballard)

   Pink it's my new obsession
   Pink it's not even a question
   Pink on the lips of your lover, 'cause
   Pink is the love you discover

   Pink as the bing on your cherry
   Pink 'cause you are so very
   Pink it's the color of passion
   'Cause today it just goes with the fashion

   Pink it was love at first sight
   Pink when I turn out the light, and
   Pink gets me high as a kite
   And I think everything is going to be all right
   No matter what we do tonight

   You could be my flamingo
   'Coz pink is the new kinda lingo
   Pink like a deco umbrella
   It's kink, but you don't ever tell her

   Pink it was love at first sight, and
   Pink when I turn out the light
   Pink gets me high as a kite
   And I think everything is going to be all right
   No matter what we do tonight

   I want to be your lover
   I, I wanna wrap you in rubber
   As pink as the sheets that we lay on
   Pink it's my favorite crayon

   Pink it was love at first sight
   Pink when I turn out the light
   Pink it's like red but not quite
   And I think everything is going to be all right
   No matter what we do tonight

Attitude Adjustment

   (Tyler, Perry, Frederiksen) 

   This girl that I knew
   She loved me and blew me away
   We made love no doubt
   But she never went out of her way

   I keep wonderin', I keep wonderin' why
   Do the wings of your butterfly
   Lightnin' thunder
   I keep wonderin' why

   Hey I think you need an attitude adjustment
   Knock-down drag out
   I got to make myself a latitude adjustment
   With or without

   I was rather naive
   So I didn't believe when you said
   Our love is in jail
   Honey you hit the nail on the head

   Well I keep wonderin', I keep wonderin' why
   Do the wings of your butterfly
   Lightnin' thunder
   Ain't no wonderin' why

   Hey I think you need an attitude adjustment
   Knock-down drag out
   Don't you ever baby, wonder where the lust went
   With or without

   Now I know what it is
   'Cause I know what you are
   No more cryin' eyes my friend
   Excusem fuckin' moi

   No more wonderin'
   I got news for you

   Hey I think you need an attitude adjustment
   Knock-down drag out
   I got to make myself a latitude adjustment
   I'm headin' south

   Yeah I think you need an attitude adjustment
   From inside out

Fallen Angels

   (Tyler, Perry, Supa)

   There's a candle burning
   In the world tonight
   For another child
   Who vanished out of sight
   And a heart is broken
   Another prayer in vain
   There's a million tears
   That fill a sea of pain

   Sometimes I stare out my window
   My thoughts all drift into space
   Sometimes I wonder if there's a better place

   Tell me
   Where do fallen angels go
   I just don't know
   Where do fallen angels go
   They keep falling

   Now the times is frightening
   Can't ignore the facts
   There's so many people
   Just slippin' through the cracks

   So many ashes are scattered
   So many rivers run dry
   Sometimes your Heaven is Hell and you don't know why

   So listen
   Chorus:
      Where do fallen angels go
      I just don't know
      Where do fallen angels go
      They keep falling, falling, falling, falling, falling, falling, yeah

   Can you hear me
   Can you hear me
   Somewhere out there, there's a shining light
   And I got to be with you tonight

   And with all we're nowhere
   We still pay the price
   Yeah the Devil seems to get his way
   In downtown paradise

   Chorus

   Chorus

   There's a candle burning
