1956 POLICE

I was walking up the avenue
and I saw her tip-top-a-runnin’
and my heartbeat it was-a-gunnin’
(I have a habit of taking things to extremes)
and my words, they all done failed me
and when I looked your hard eyes nailed me
I wanna tell you I’m just not what I seem.
So I get back home and I lick my wounds,
have a smoke, shake off that gloom
and a week later, I’m ready to do it all again!
Wait till I see you coming round the bend-
I'll say amen!

One day, the yellow sky turned to blue,
we robbed the drug store and the liquor station,
started driving clear across the nation
(with great precision, I know the wrong thing to do).
Feeling like a tin can solider,
see her body and I wanna hold her,
and every night, we try something new!
So I wake right up and it’s another day,
I try and walk the other way
but my darlin’, you keep looking so fine
and I’m not so sure if that’s a waste of time.
Yours or mine?

Two days later and we were much older-
I looked and saw an angel on her shoulder.
(I knew I was in for a whole world of fun).
Winding up in a two car disaster,
finding out God was the master-
still, I keep doing what shouldn’t have been done.
By now the pieces began to connect-
she threw away my cigarettes,
the only thing in this world that can keep me satisfied.
Well, you don’t have to be happy to be alive,
just a will to survive.

I was living by the 8th street Teamo-
Jake was playing a left-handed piano
I hadn’t seen her in a long, long time.
Now here she comes, acting kinda randy,
didn't have a second thought handy,
I knew in my heart that girl was mine.
Now feeling like a great big dummy
when she called another man “honey”-
she took danger to a whole ‘nuther degree.
Now she’s gone and she won’t come back to me.
Can’t she see that I’m lost?

I was hanging ‘round with your friend Herschel
after everyone else went commercial,
guzzling TNT till the break of dawn.
Now, I’m not one to knock another man’s hobby
but oh, what a scene down there in the lobby-
lucky it all got straightened out in some small dive.
Ah, wishing I was stone cold sober-
thinking about all the things I owed her
(What the hell? Life doesn’t last long!)
and I don’t really give a shit if I’m right or wrong.
It’s my song.

ACTUALLY NO, I DO MIND

A penny for your dreams
I see you're damaged just like me
We’re shaking like the leaves
Death must be in the wind.

Your heart acts more like a brain
You keep causing all that pain
And here it comes again
You do it again and you do it again
You do it again and you do it again
Again and again and again
My wounds will never mend

AT THE END

The end
doesn't seem so invisible
Don't
don't make my mouth frown again

Time
with the wait/weight of a billion years
and this old earth has always kept me
always kept me spinning

I, I can't turn back when I'm in it, now
The will
I don't know if it's in me now
and anyway they've made their minds
(and I have made mine too)

All you see is pain
Why?

BASEBALL SONG

When you heard that crack, the men went running
into shallow right
well, he caught the fly ball and they made him a star!

Don't take me out dancing-don't take me to a movie
I'm concentrating
I've waited my whole life for a day like this
and the boss is on the phone, he won't leave me alone.

And when they hear those oldies
they do waves up in the stands
Mr. Organ Player
Strike it up for my good friendboy Mister Willie Brown!

So elated, so sophisticated
Another one came in and I say do it again.
Yeah, do it again
yeah, do it again
yeah, do it again
ah, kicking up dirt, he was headed for home

(and the crowd goes wild!)

Negotiation-do it for the nation!
The pen is on the paper now let's do it again!

And did you see-see Johnny?
He went running on the field!
Before the police caught him
he slapped a high-five with the home run batter!

New York City-ain't that a city?
All a boy can really say is do it again
Yeah, do it again
Yeah, do it again
Yeah, do it again
ah, rounding the bases he was headed for home
Yeah, do it again
Yeah, do it again
Yeah, do it again
(and all the money rolling in to the hot dog stand!)
Yeah, do it again
Yeah, do it again
Yeah, do it again
(and again and again and again and again)
Yeah, do it again
Yeah, do it again
Yeah, do it again
(ah, caught in the traffic, we were headed for home)

THE BIG IDEA

Got the big idea but you can’t connect it
You've got to grab that monkey if you want it to do tricks for you!
This isn’t phoney-the one and onla!
You’ve got the plug-you’ve got the light
Now make that light shine.

You get in deep (if you know what I mean)
Where there’s no distraction, where you can feel
When you hear the music, you’ll know that you’re home
I know ‘cause I’ve been there so many times before.

We eating jelly-it’s in the belly!
We drink to you and your good health too.
And then we hit the funny chord, here we go, funny funny chord, now.
Now.

BLAMED

I didn’t want to make no issue
The feeling caught me unaware
I never knew just what you were doing
I never knew it wasn’t so fair
But now I’ve got the bigger picture
Your action’s calculated to stun
You thought that I was being unfunny
But some things are just not done.

Blame me, blame me, blame me, blame me.

Your virtue deserves to be taken
Your words they never made much sense*
(*- or sometimes:Your words they never gave you defense)
Your confidence, it needs to be shaken
To knock you right off of your fence
And even in the dead of winter
You’re bundled up inside of your hood
The hungry masses in the millions (,baby)
But we never had it so good.

Blame me, blame me, blame me, blame me.

BORROW FROM ANGEL

Own up, something I don’t want to do.
Wasted, all those things I never tell you.

I don’t want to be your slave
I don’t want to be your slave
I don’t want to feel this way
I don’t want to lose my way.

Always, the simple things they slip right by me
Sudden, didn’t think you had the right
Face it, I can only smile and adore thee.

I could never lead your way
I could never lead the way
I could never clear your name
I don’t want to take the blame

If I deserve to feel this pain, I don’t want to feel this way.
If I deserve to feel this way, you say you’re gonna leave…..

Do it to me.

CAVEMAN

You’re the one and only way to ride through the flood, ride through the flood.
And the crown is not made of gold, it’s made of mud, it’s made of mud.

Every song I ever sang, I thought was mine, thought it was mine.
All awake, the sleep don’t come but still alive, yeah, still alive.

Should have been brought up in a cave, I’d have a home, I’d have a home.

CAVEMAN 2

Should have been brought up in a cave, I’d have a home, I’d have a home
Many folks they think they’ve got a halo, but all their faces are made out of snow, made out of snow.

And all the old heroes, all the old heroes seem like children now, seem like children now
Talking shit, talking lots of shit but nobody knows, nobody knows, nobody knows.

DON’T LET ME KNOW

How did you find yourself, wrong as you could ever be?
After all is said and done, what’s a man supposed to do?
Use your schooling-why it has to be this way
My love is your pillow-use it for your own ends and means.

How could you put me up against the wall?
I’m a little jaded now, but that's better than a man that’s too naļve.

Don’t let me know.

Why would you want me waiting underneath the rain?
It’s not just grey storm-clouds weeping on your face for you and me.

EVERYTHING'S FUNNY

You told me how everything is funny
and now I know a way to make a sad day sunny
You taught me how everything was funny

A big man in a bib!
That's funny!
The thing that he just did!
That's funny!

And I'll never ever forget that moment
You were so funny......

(so funny funny funny) :(

FELA IS DEAD

Fela is dead, Fela is dead.
Black President, he is dead.
Old Basketmouth, he is dead.

They hounded him into his grave
And after all the money they made
Every artist is a slave.

Frank Zappa is dead
We sure could use him right about now.

How do you know when to stop?
How do you know when to stop?
John Lennon, he is dead.

GODMUSIC

Seep into to your heart
Keep it in your heart

Let him show you
Let him make your mouth a tool of gold.

Let it dethrone you
Let it mask your schemes and clip your wings.
Who bemoans you?
They want to trick you with the lies they bring.

GONNA SEE MY BABY
(B)-Boy (G)-Girl

(B) Yeah, gonna see my baby, gonna see my baby, when I get downtown
(G) Yeah, gonna see my baby, gonna see my baby, when he gets downtown.

(B) I get so excited ‘cause it’s you I crave
I thank the lord above for the gift he gave me.
(G) Well, don’t be too long ‘cause I can’t take it.
This feeling’s so good and I just can’t shake it.

(B) Yeah, gonna see my baby, gonna see my baby, when I get downtown
(G) Yeah, gonna see my baby, gonna squeeze my baby, when he gets downtown.

(B) Baby I just want you all to myself.
(G) Sugar, I don’t want nobody else.
(B) Then let’s close the door and check out your room
(G) I hope you don’t plan on leaving too soon.

(B) Yeah, gonna see my baby, gonna see my baby, when I get down.
(G) Yeah, gonna see my baby, gonna see my baby, when he gets downtown.

HUMAN MUSIC

I want to save you
I want to stay with you
I want to play with you
I celebrate you
(and she says...)

Keep that music going on.

I’m not afraid of you
I’ll go astray with you
You purify me
intensify me

And those that have never known your love
think they don’t need love
but believe in your body
Believe in your body
Love is good but you’ve got to do it right

And you ignited me
beautified me
made me feel like
a kind of hero

Keep that, keep that
Keep that, keep that.

I DON’T MIND, I DON’T MIND

A tribute to your way and reason
I see you're safely home, lady.
A joy to man and beast,
Resplendent and serene.

My worries and my woes exceed me
I cast them to the breeze
I know I’m not that strong
Your lips make me believe

You can be what you want-I don't mind, I don't mind
You can say what you want-I don't mind, I don't mind
You can think what you want-I don't mind, I don't mind
You can feel what you want-I don't mind, I don't mind

I heard you sing my song
An honor set apart
I reach out for your tears
I see we’re almost there

And you can take what you want-I don't mind, I don't mind
And you can make what you want-I don't mind, I don't mind
You can do what you want-I don't mind, I don't mind
You can choose what you want-I don't mind, I don't mind

A long moment ago
It’s a distant memory
You’re a sharp tongued New York girl
You’ll never be alone.

(You can see who you want, I don’t mind, I don't mind)

I OFFER NOTHING

You could sing my song
but it would make you blue
innocent friend.

You could speak my mind
You'd know just what to say
beautiful friend

You could feel my space
but it would leave you cold
My only friend
oh my my

You could see it on my face
I know that you can.

You would make me sad
You'd make me happy, too
I'd offer nothing.
oh my my

I STILL LOVE THE BEATLES

After years of war, everybody scattered 'round a groaning globe
Dark was the night, long was the day and it went from bad to worse.
We didn't know what we were going to do.
Yeah.

All that brick and stone, standing cold imposing 'gainst a dark grey sky
So we rode the trains, we did anything to scrounge a meal or home
I didn't even have my guitar
Yeah.

Standing in that line, suddenly a song I know floats through the air
Everybody on that line started moving with the music, sweet and rare
They're still my friends, they're still my family
Yeah.

I WANT YOU WITH ME

I feel I’m in trouble and I know I don’t like it
Head on the ground, feet on the ceiling
No matter how I try, I just can’t get by it.
I can’t deny this easy feeling.

I know it’s wrong
But I want you with me
I can’t go on
I just want you with me

Sometimes I feel like I can see right into you.
I feel funny just even saying it
But every where I go I want to take it back to you
I’d even write a song and put your name in it (something I’ve never done!)

I know it’s wrong
But I want you with me
You’re amply warned
I just want you with me

People say the way I feel is madness
But I can’t walk away from what I have found.
‘Cause suddenly my heart is filled with gladness
and things seem better when you’re around.

I know it’s strange
But I want you with me
I’ve tried to change
I just want you with me.

JUNGLE, THE

Hang me in the jungle
If you want that crucifying now,
sacrifice me, right here, in the jungle.

I’d give it all to you with no fight
You think I’m wrong but I know I’m right
All that silly ignorance that’s in your grin,
you think that this is gonna change a thing?
I ask you if you know and you say you don’t know-
bet I know why!

Dance around my battered body
Passion all around me

KEEP ON MAKING MONEY

Dogs are swinging from the trees
Monkeys down on their knees
Bugs are spawning in a drain
Faces in a yawn of pain.

And the plane crashed into a cloud
Monks talking out loud
Dead men giving birth, they know they’ve got to multiply.

Keep on making money, keep on making money.

The poets are all painting
All the work is wasted
Somewhere a baby’s crying
Somewhere your baby’s crying.

Keep on making money, making all that money, keep on making money.

Jones looking for a feed
Fingers dripping with greed
Everybody’s got a need
Everybody’s got a need.

KINDA KINKY

I’m a randy dandy and kinda kinky, too.
I’m wondering how ‘bout you?

You’re a mischief maker, I get this way with you.
I see you brought the shoes!
You’re kinda kinky, too.

That stuff don’t impress me
I see it all the time
Sex can be so messy
But as long as I am yours and you are mine
stop at the limit of your imagination.

You’re a little ganga girl and kinda freaky, too.
You see I’m one of you.
I’m kinda kinky, too.

You’re a nasty biter, I’ll tell you what we’ll do,
I’ll show you who’s who.
'cause I’m kinda kinky, too.

KIND OF PLACE I WANT TO BE, THE

And the thing on my mind
is that death-it’s a long, long time.
You wouldn’t listen
and I warned you to your fingertips.

All I know I’m going to be gone
but somehow you and me, we’ll go on and on.

And that slows the hands of time
-and the warmth you have.
And the thing on my mind
is that living-it can be so fine.

All I know is fear, it grips the land
but somehow you and me will be ok if you just hold my hand.

If I see you in a room,
it becomes the kind of place I want to be.

LIONMOUTH (lyin'mouth blues)

Some don't have an imagination
They don't even use it for it recreation.

Think it's made of plasticine and acrylic
but it's the lion's mouth and your head is in it.

Foaming up and it's overflowing
It's the heart and you do not even know it.

Leeching out all the peace and patience
It's the craze that's sweeping the entire nation.

MAGIC WANDA

A real magic wanda, she makes me feel fond of all you lovers in the galaxy.
Gonna run right out and hit the barbershop and find myself some company.
I’ve got the shadow of death on my vocal chords, you’ve got the breath of life-
you keep taking me all in the wrong way and I just want to do you right.

Wait by my window-
you can always count on me.
Wait by my window
Never never never say you’re gonna leave.

I’ve got a mind to sneak up and tell you I think you’re mighty fine.
Why don’t we go and grab ourselves a dinner? Yeah, we could have a real good time.

A real loose lucy, well I can’t be choosy when affection’s in such short supply.
I can be a real mean son of a bitch (but we’ll let that stuff slide right by!).
Now I’ve got the notion that when we’re much older you’re gonna want to be my friend.
But I don’t know where I’m-a-gonna be and this chance may not come again.
This chance may not come again.
This chance may not come again.

MATTHEW

And the cold cuts across the field
such a bitter wind
it's gonna kill me.

Tied to this barren fate
Wasn't supposed to be this way
Can't someone help me?

How is this happening?
Why is sex the only thing
that makes everyone so crazy?

I heard about a foreign land
where everyone understands
that we're all just human.
But here, we tie fags to a post,
drag people down the road,
dehumanize immigrants in custody,
and other things you won't discuss with me.

Now why would you even imagine that?
What shithead told you so?
Who bewitched you?
You've got issues, my friend.

Return seems impossible
but this death makes me invincible
because I'm mother-fuckin' more than one.

MISS YOU

Another night of people running ‘round, paint the town-
all seem so strange to me
Put another movie on and try so hard to concentrate-
the ingenue gets me down.

And I know that I miss you tonight
And I know that I miss you tonight

This time I know you’ve gone and done it-
you always tangled by the graves
Nothing in your path could ever scare you
Not me, nor any other knave.

And I know I was wrong but I miss you tonight
And it’s been so long that I miss you tonight
And I know it ain’t right that I miss you tonight
And I toss through the night ‘cause I miss you tonight.

Anything you want you call me, honey
Any little thing you think that I can do
Just around then you beat me to it,
but like I say, I miss you.

THE MUSIC HAS GONE AWAY

Stike up the band-watch how those bastards play their hand.
Middlemen, you make the music go away.
When they say they like your style, watch how they try and change your smile.
They're not fooling and that's why I say the music has gone away.
The music has gone away.

Counting the money-well, I guess that's just showbiz.
But don't forget who was back there building you pyramids!
When you let a scam exist for years and years,
it gets much harder to resist and we pay for it with our ears.
And you know there's something missing, been gone so long.
Everything sounds like candy, with a logo on.
and so the music goes away, the music has gone away.

My good friendgirl Dina-she goes by the name of Dina Dean.
Watch how those bastards try and turn her into Britney!
When they add their lousy beats, it's like an invasion.
It's a sin to mutilate those songs, but hey-a girl's gotta eat.
And I know if you could hear me, we'd both agree.
How I yearn for all that music to be set free

but the music has gone away, the music has gone away.

THE MUSIC IS IN MY HANDS

You can't have it back
You can't have it back
The music is in my hands now

You can't have it back
You didn't treat it well
The music is in my hands now

The music-the music
the music is in my hands
the music is in my hands
the music
is in
my hands now

NOTHING'S GONNA MAKE THAT PAIN GO AWAY

This old heart can't take the pain
Eyes of love, they can't take the pain

Nothing's gonna make that pain go away
Nothing's gonna make that pain go away

OLD

Loose lips always sinking ships
Gotta grab a hold of I don’t know
Lose weight, don’t tempt fate
Be good looking when you die die die

And I thought but never bought
Your whole spiel and what the deal really was
I got fat in your habitat
And I blame you-yeah I blame you.

Better drink up with your sinner’s tongue
You’ll last long ‘cause you’re so wrong
You switch bait-my my how you wait.
You’re so old but you love to be young.

OPENING (MANIFESTO)

You think you’re clever?-I think I’m better
I mama/papa you until you can’t breathe
My arms will squeeze you-my fingers tease you
I’ve got the only feeling that you will need

You’d try and cheat me, Captains of Industry
I need your future like a hole in the head.
You follow orders-I walk on water
Why don’t you go and put the baby to bed?

It’s been like a long coma
But I have been awakened
It’s gotten down to cold, cold nerve
But I welcome you this evening.
I welcome you here.

I roam and ramble-you’ve got a handle
I turn you louder on my radio
I’m like a rabbit-got all those filthy habits
I see an opening and then I go in.
The people starving, so I ask Harvey
He says that it has always been this way.
I wouldn’t choose it, your type of music
I know you’re trying but I’ve heard it before.

PASSING

One more year, you’re gonna make it someday
You know it’s yours for the taking
You’re a real stimulator
I’m an assimilator.

All the good time is passing
And the worst part is lasting
They know what they’re doing-animals in a crazy zoo
Use your Constitution-or they’ll take it away from you.

PRETTY HANDSOME

You can leave me here-here by the side of the road
I won’t even fight-if it puts the moonlight in your night.
And the cars go by and 'round-I stop by a telephone
You wouldn’t understand-‘cause you thought that I never was a man.

You say you look at me and see a reckless kind
That’s funny! I had the same line!

You got your settlement today-and it’s pretty handsome I must say
You’ve got a whole new look and way-and now no one knows my name.

You’ve got me chained and bound-and I ain’t down.

You want to make it up and throw me a bone
That’s all right-I roll my own!

ROMEO

Abuse spoils your charm
Put your love on the table
You lose your head over that good, good thing
and squash it on the ground

Don't lose your edge my friend
The pig never becomes a lamb
or someone's Romeo

The years, they just speed away
Put your blues out there on the table.

SEND ME

Don’t tell me it’s over, I know it is.
Why’d you mess us up? We could’ve had it so good.
I’ll forget about the past if you will, too
but if you should ever, ever think on me

Send me some more of your love
Send me just a bit more of your love
Send me just a portion of your love
I’ll be home some day.

It’s not like I made a mountain of a molehill.
The world-they blew it up, but we were already dead.
But this other world sure gets lonley.
Have mercy, have mercy on me.

Send me some more of your love
Send me a great big bucket of your love
Send me a great big bunch of your love
I’ll be home some day.

The pain just keeps on growing
but my feet just keep on going on.
Why wouldn’t you leave us alone?

I’m just a toy for you to own.
What am I supposed to do?

Send me some more of your love
Send me just an itty bitty bit more of your love
Send me just a bit more of your love
I’ll be home some day.
Send me some love, send me some love.

SHAKING

You don’t know what you’re doing
You’re set up good for losing
Your love, it left me shaking
This thing from me you’ve taken
The plans I had were waylaid
I’m waiting for my payday.

Can I reach you?
You’re standing in the stars.

My song is made of magic-
if you want it, you can have it.
I’m anxious, but I’m patient
I know when things are fated.

SO LONG, GOODBYE

So long, goodbye
I walk away from my baby’s house
So long, goodbye, I’m gone.

You said, but you lied
You take a page from your daddy’s book
So long, goodbye, I’m gone.

I’m not fooling, I’m not fooling no more
You broke my heart so many times
I waited just for you, that’s all I can do
Now I’m knocking on your door.

So goodbye, so long
I walk away from my baby’s hutch
So long, goodbye, I’m gone
So long, goodbye, I’m gone.

SOMETHING IN THE MELODY

Something in the air-something that sounds good to me
Something I can hear-something in the melody.

We made it, we made this place our own
We created it, we made this place our home.

Eyes are running wild, wild and you look good to me
Like your skin and bones, baby, you were born for me.

(everybody be good everybody, everybody be good everybody)
Maintain your cool on the dance floor
I see you like your good time
Become a thing of beauty
Your life is a work of art.
(everybody be strong everybody, everybody be strong everybody)
(everybody go wild everybody)
Amen.

SON OF GODMUSIC

(It’s you on the radio)

On and on and on and on and on and on and on
Into forever.

On and on and on and on and on and on and on
I’m the one who told you about it
Living in the cool breeze, all you sons of God.

And on and on and on and on and it’s gone.

STAND UP

Stand up
The whole world's waiting
I do believe
They're waiting for you
The whole world's waiting for you

Stand up
You included

STRONG DEATH

strong death
strong death

and the pull
like a river
in which we were born to drown
strong death, strong death

Keep on aiming higher (strong death, strong death)
Keep on aiming higher (strong death, strong death)
Keep on aiming higher (strong death, strong death)
Keep on aiming higher (strong death, strong death)

I'm the sun
I'm the weed
I'm the wind
on the wings
(of
small death)

SUFFER AGAIN

When I saw him talking to ya
Wanted so to be apart of it
Just bout then did I remember
Suffer again!

Walked into a foreign room
Hipsters standing all around me
Thought I was a rolling stoner
Suffer again!

Well whatcha wanna/gonna do
End it like Fellini's movie?
'cause if you don't rectify this:
Suffer again!

SUMMERS GONE

Guess what? Guess who?
No one was expecting there'd be a person like you!
No where in the writings did it say
and we ignore that stuff anyway.

I remember you from the last century
You sure know how to serve up a deep dish of pain.

One thing about all these current generations
They had excellent taste in superficial things
Summer's gone-summer's gone (something's wrong)

It was just two short hours
Did as much laughing as we possibly could
Went back home
Paranoid and alone

Saw two lovers down by the river
Wept so hard like a baby

And now back here in the quicksand
Wrong politican
We'll scatter their parades
Make grim their pageants

Delicious pizza! I bankrolled the whole thing!

THANKS TO MY BABY

Bringing it home to my baby
Singing this song to my baby
Giving some thanks to my baby
Giving it up for you baby

Filling my soul with my baby
I’m gonna stick close to you, baby
Now that’s a beautiful lady
Lovin’ the look that you gave me

Living the life with my baby
I’m gonna do right by you, baby
Havin’ my way with my baby
Going to town with my baby

What you are and what you’re meant to be
Don't you know?-you were born for me

Pushing my luck with my baby
Swimming to hell with my baby
Making a face at my baby
I’m gonna be good to you, baby

Foolin’ around with my baby
I think that we’re all gonna make it
Feeling the heat from your fever
I saw her face-I’m a believer

Fixing it up with my baby
Love when you dance with me, baby
Hanging around on the weekdays
Taking you out when it’s payday

Putting my moves on Baby
Stepping out with my baby
Giving some thanks to my baby
Singing this song to you, baby

TRY

One so new, ride it your way
Unconfused, they tried to kill me
I'm in the tree on the crossing
Go on home, you're no different

And as I sit all around me
I'm way up but who's within me?
Doesn't matter-you turn me
It never happened-you do me

Try

And now who's looking?-oh I can't see
I can't connect-try
Make amends? Prove it to me
I've read the book, seen the movie

Try

TV PEOPLE

I go to your house-and you're watching TV
We go to a bar-and you're watching TV
I can't get a word in 'cause you're shooshing me
You're listening to the man talking on the TV.

You only got friends that exist on TV
and you only want to talk 'bout what you've seen on TV
You even gotta dress like they do on TV
and I ain't too impressed with this cult of TV.

Maybe you should try watching less of TV
I try to get into it but it's boring me.
I've heard all the jokes that they use on TV
I've seen all the plots that they got on TV

You believe everything that they say on TV
Man, oh, baby it's annoying to me.
I don't like how they think on TV
I don't like what they say on TV.

UNABATED

I came back
to finish the job
that ain't ever been done
and so you suffer again and again and again
unabated
unabated

Come around to my way
to my way of thinking
It electrifies the air with a feeling so rare you can taste it

Now if I could take the pain of the world
and burn it all up in a bonfire
I'd sacrifice my body, my life, whatever it took
so we could make it
unabated
unabated

(come around, come around, come around)

VULTURE ON YOUR LOVE, A

I’m just a vulture on your love, bad baby
I’m just a vulture on your heart, bad babe

What can I do?
It’s up to you
Give me your good
I wake up every day for you

I’m just stumbling on your charm, bad baby
I’m just fumbling towards your harm, bad babe

What can I say?
I’m blown away
Heart settle down
I’m losing all myself to you

Lost so much
Just like the empty hunger
That drew a heartbreak across my soul
But somehow I knew it wouldn’t be you the one who’d hurt me

Still, I’m just strung out on your love
I’m so hungry for your heart, bad babe

What can I do?
I thought you knew
What can I do?
I wake up every day just for the chance to maybe see you, girl
I catch your eye, I get shy
Never knew someone like you
Tell me, baby
What do I have to do for your love?
You’ve got my only heart-
do what you want with it.

WANT U WITH ME (M)

Want u with me-thought you were mine
Want u with me-thought you were mine

U want me say this about u?
U want me say this about u?
U want me say this about u?
U want me say this about u?

Want u with me-thought u were mine
Want u with me-thought u were mine

Like the childness about u
Like the wildness about u
I can see the danger around u
I can feel the vibe that surrounds u.

Want u with me-thought u were mine
Want u with me-thought u were mine

Ooh, mamasay mamasay mama
Ooh, mamasay mamasay mama
Ooh, mamasay mamasay mama

I wish you well-
your cruel and cunning guile
You put a hatred in me
You put a sadness in my smile
The words all wrong
The promise that never came
All tied up, but trying
What’s the difference, we both are dying

Want u with me-thought u were mine
Want u with me- I want u

Like a child
And the sun
And the wind

Never knew a thing about you, suffer again

WHY ARE YOU SO GOOD?

Why are you so good?
You are the beat in my Beatles, the Jane in my Jane's Addiction
Why are you so good?
I might as well just give it up
Why are you so good?
This ain't no phony baloney!
Why are you so good?
You cheer me up when I'm lonely.
Why are you so good?
You make excellent torta
Why are you so good?
You condone the use of marijuana!
Why are you so good?
I bet I'd even like your driving
Why are you so good?
You could have been in the movies
Why are you so good?
You just might take over the world
Why are you so good?
On the other hand, maybe you ain't so good

WHY WAIT WITHOUT YOU?

Amazing what will pass for love
I knew there was no god above
You hurt me till I've had enough
but I'd wait 'cause I loved you.

You do these things to start a fight
You hate me 'cause you know I'm right
Your policies make me uptight
but I'd wait, I'd wait without you.

You've got your fortune and your fame
You're different but I'm still the same
You're one thing I could never tame
so I wait, I wait without you.

Can't trust you 'cause you're such a liar
It weakens me and makes me tired
You've pushed me beyond my desire
Why do that? I could have loved you.

I close my eyes and rub my head
and all those worthless words you said
they'll bounce around until I'm dead
so I'll wait, I'll wait without you.

YOUR LOVE KEEPS ME

Your love keeps me happy
Your love doesn’t hide
Your love is an action
Your love is a high

Your love is a fire
The fire keeps me warm
The warmth is keeps me living
The warmth it keeps me strong

I think of you, don’t want to lose what I have
Your love is a weapon, cuts through my disguise
So wrap those spiritual arms around me
Wrap those spiritual arms around me
Wrap those physical arms around me.

Your love doesn’t steal from me, it always tells the truth
Your love is my dinner, your love changes my mood
Your love don’t take money, your love don’t take bribes
Your love keeps me protected, your love saved my life
So wrap those spiritual arms around me
Wrap those physical arms around me.

Wrap those physical arms around me.
