Black N White
From a beam of the moon
To the rising of the sun
From a wakening lie
Slowly coming true
To the gleam in her eye
Its all for sale
Dreams are for sale
So there we go
Jumping in head-first with eyes closed
We hail Manon
Like the ancient sages long ago
From the theme of a ruse
And the martyr of the fun
To a danger that's lying
In solitude
So discrete if you try
This time won't fail
Dreams are for sale
Black n white
For a reason or two
From this moment 'til the dawn
We'll be taking it higher
Than no one could
There's no need to deny
What's all for sale
If you wanted to
The story's told
When a spell comes back three times/fold
Deeper in your soul
Feel the rage from the pages as they glow
Black n white
She Said
She said the ends define the means
She always thinks its funny
When I take it to extremes
She said its never what it seems
No matter what the breaks
She's got me looking like a fool
She said its really just a shame
She always keeps me hoping
That'll never end the same
She said no one ever wins her game
So pack it up, no shaggin'
You can play again tomorrow
She says she wants to play dead
For all her life, she said
She says she wants to play dead
She said I'm tempted by a tease
A slave to an obsession
Getting harder to appease
She said that its all in what she sees
If you get it when you want it
Then you want it when you've got it all
She says she wants to play dead
For all her life, she said
She says she wants to play dead
For all the time we spend
She says she wants to play dead
She said
Doesn't matter what we talk about
And you can do just what you wanna do
She said
She won't ever heed command
Like a genie in a bottle
She says she wants to play dead
For all her life, she said
She says she wants to play dead
She says she wants to play dead
For all her life, she said
She says she wants to play dead
For all the time we spend
She says she wants to play dead
Wormwood
It’s raining, falling down
On the streets of cobblestone
Down where the seven angels hone
A modern Armageddon
It’s raining, falling down
Ten crowns made of hallowed gold
Couldn’t sell what the preacher’s told
Might as well forget it
Heaven’s falling down
My eyes have seen it falling down
There’s nothing for me now
There’s nothing for me now
It’s raining, falling down
Moon crazy and the unbeknown
Of what was and what will be shown
To all that have forsaken
It’s raining, falling down
The sealed gather ‘round the lake/fire glow
Gettin’ ready for the final show
Amass the story’s ending
Heaven’s falling down
My eyes have seen it falling down
There’s nothing for me now
There’s nothing for me now
It’s raining, falling down
On the streets of cobblestone
Down where the seven angels hone
A modern Armageddon
Heaven’s falling down
My eyes have seen it falling down
There’s nothing for me now
There’s nothing for me now

I'm not afraid
No stranger
Gets in my way
Sharp as a razor
I'm waiting
For someone to stray
In my emotion
Lies danger
But don't be afraid
I don't wanna hate you
Just love me
Make me feel good
I'm not afraid of what they'll tell me
I'm not afraid
No way
Under the covers
Like fire
To burn out the shame
Into another
My magic
Is waiting to tame you
I'm not afraid of what they'll ask me
I'm not afraid
No way
I'm not afraid of what they'll tell me
I'm not afraid of what they'll find
I'm not afraid of what they'll ask me
I'm not afraid
No way

Saving All My Love For You
A few stolen moments
Is all that we share
You've got your family
And they need you there
Though I've tried to resist
Being last on your list
But no other man's gonna do
So I'm saving all my love for you
It's not very easy
Living all alone
My friends try and tell me
Find a man of my own
But each time I try
I just break down and cry
'Cause I'd rather be home feeling blue
So I'm saving all my love for you
You used to tell me we'd run away together
Love gives you the right to be free
You said, "Be patient, just wait a little longer"
But that's just an old fantasy
I've got to get ready
Just a few minutes more
Gonna get that old feeling
When you walk through that door
'Cause tonight is the night
For feeling alright
We'll be making love the whole night through
So I'm saving all my love
Yes I'm saving all my love
Oh I'm saving all my love for you
No other woman
Is gonna love you more
'Cause tonight is the night
That I'm feeling alright
We'll be making love the whole night through
So I'm saving all my love
Yes I'm saving all my lovin'
I'm saving all my love for you
For you, for you
Keep Me In Check
Picture if you will
It's like another world
A goddess and an angel
In the body of a girl
She's the one who's got me thinkin'
There's more to life than what I believe
It takes time to heal, she says
Your body don't need it
And it's worth it to try
To break the habit you feed it
She's the one who's gonna keep me in check
She's the girl who always keeps me in check
But I never know why
I don't know what I'm doing
She takes away the spell that's got me all herself
She's the girl who always tries to keep me down here
With my head in the clouds
That's where I wanna go
She's the girl who's always gonna keep me in check
Is this real or is it fantasy
I never can tell sometimes because reality bites
And I think it's the rumors that can get to me
And make me feel like I'm back on thin ice
That's when she moves in closely
Like a syncopated beat
And let's me know it's alright
It's ok to admit defeat
(It's all good)
She's the girl who's always gonna keep me in check
Can't be easy, you know
She's the girl who always keeps me in check
But I never know why
I don't know what I'm doing
She takes away the spell that's got me all herself
She's the girl who always tries to keep me down here
With my head in the clouds
That's where I wanna go
She's the girl who's always gonna keep me in check
Stupid World
A sleepless world
All mystified
Lies awake in praise
To a form in the sky
Stupid world
All shackled and prized
Hang their heads with shame
In the fall of the night
Everything is turning evil
And everything is going fine
A dreamless world
No thoughts realized
Minds stripped away in rage
Before a demise
A stupid world
All covered with lies
Takes a false embrace
To hold a disguise
Everything is turning evil
And everything is going fine
Everything is turning evil
And everything is going fine
Hush, little girl
Don't make a sound to stir the beast
That's hiding 'neath your bed
It's a stupid world
Don't look in their eyes
Seventh day will break
And so the story goes
Everything is turning evil
And everything is going fine
Everything is turning evil
And everything is going fine
Build Me Up Buttercup
Why do you build me up
Buttercup, baby
Just to let me down
And mess me around
And then worst of all
You never call, baby
When you say you will
But I love you still
I need you more than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up Buttercup
Don't break my heart
I'll be over at ten
You told me time and again
But you're late
I wait around and then
I run to the door
I can't take any more
It's not you
You let me down again
Hey, hey, hey!
Baby, baby, try to find
Hey, hey, hey!
A little time, and I'll make you happy
Hey, hey, hey!
I'll be home
I'll be beside the phone waiting for you
Ooo-oo-ooo, ooo-oo-ooo
Why do you build me up
Buttercup, baby
Just to let me down
And mess me around
And then worst of all
You never call, baby
When you say you will
But I love you still
I need you more than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up Buttercup
Don't break my heart
You were my toy
But I could be the boy you adore
If you'd just let me know
Although you're untrue
I'm attracted to you all the more
Why do I need you so
Hey, hey, hey!
Baby, baby, try to find
Hey, hey, hey!
A little time, and I'll make you happy
Hey, hey, hey!
I'll be home
I'll be beside the phone waiting for you
Ooo-oo-ooo, ooo-oo-ooo
Why do you build me up
Buttercup, baby
Just to let me down
And mess me around
And then worst of all
You never call, baby
When you say you will
But I love you still
I need you more than anyone, darlin'
You know that I have from the start
So build me up Buttercup
Don't break my heart
I need you more than anyone, baby
You know that I have from the start
So build me up Buttercup
Don't break my heart
Show Me The Way (To Your Heart)
A little good thing
Wasn't enough for me
And every night I think
Where do we go wrong
I had a vision baby
A certain prophecy
And now I know my pain
Won't be lasting too long
Show me the way to your heart this time
So I can find my way back home
Let's move it easy
We'll take it slow
I'm on my knees, boy
Tell me where to go
Let's move it easy
We'll stop the show
I'm beggin' please, boy
Won't you let me know, baby
They say that love is pure
Nobody's destiny
Now I'm alone
And feel like breaking down
They say there is no cure
No way out I can see
Because it's you
I dream of being around
Show me the way to your heart this time
So I can find my way back home
Let's move it easy
We'll take it slow
I'm on my knees, boy
Tell me where to go
Let's move it easy
We'll stop the show
I'm beggin' please, boy
Won't you let me know, baby
If I gave my heart to you
Would you just run away
Tell me where I stand
In the scheme of things
I know my love is true
It's mine to give away
And now I hope someday
I won't feel so alone
So show me the way to your heart this time
So I can find my way back home
Let's move it easy
We'll take it slow
I'm on my knees, boy
Tell me where to go
Let's move it easy
We'll stop the show
I'm beggin' please, boy
Won't you let me know, baby
Hale-Bopp Bop
My shining star
You are the one for me
My shining star
You hold the truth to be
My shining star
Do you see what I see
My shining star
No explanation for unordinary
My shining star
No one can stray from you
My shining star
Never forget I'm waiting too
Did you understand my feelings
Way before I lost control
I guess I should've known better
When all things stay the same
I find it hard to see them true
Do you feel it too
My shining star
You are the one for me
My shining star
You hold the truth to be
My shining star
Burning eternity
My shining star
You are the one for me
Comet, comet, burning in the sky
Go and check it out with your naked eye
It's a visible light among a sea of constellations
Gotta have a map and a good imagination
Taurus, Pleiades, Mercury, and Venus
The Hale-Bopp Comet, y'all, can you see this
Way up in the sky a shine from afar
Wanna tell you, baby, I'm a shining star
I can't believe this what I'm saying
But I think I'm lost without you
Insane maybe
Someday you'll find me here waiting for you
My shining star
You are the one for me
My shining star
You hold the truth to be
My shining star
Burning eternity
My shining star
You are the one for me
Do you believe it
Don't Worry Baby
Well its been building up inside of me
For oh I don't know how long
I don't know why but I keep thinking
Something's bound to go wrong
But she looks in my eyes
And makes me realize
And she says
Don't worry baby
Everything will turn out alright
Don't worry baby
I guess I should've kept my mouth shut
When I started to brag about my car
But I can't back down now
Because I pushed the other guys too far
She makes me come alive
And makes me wanna drive
When she says
Don't worry baby
Everything will turn out alright
Don't worry baby
She told me baby when you race today
Just take along my love with you
And if you knew how much I loved you baby
Nothing could go wrong with you
Oh what she does to me
When she makes love to me
And she says
Don't worry baby
Everything will turn out alright
Don't worry baby

The Things They Do
Check this out
It's the same situation
Each time they always win
Seems I'm losing before I begin
It's a blind ambition
They're driving me insane
Must I always be the one to blame
How many times must I live a tragedy
It's hard for me to think before I know
Now I understand
I understand why
They do the things they do
Perhaps I should explain further
It's a critical condition
I get stuck in between
There is nothing worse that I've yet seen
A fake recognition
I'm dealing with this shame
Must I always be the one to blame
Why must my life be a big catastrophe
It's hard making love when I'm alone
Now I understand
I understand why
They do the things they do
Now I know, I know what I must do
To avoid temptation breaking through
But I love it, love it when she says
You and me, one two three
Here we go
Do I decline to reveal my prophecy
It's time to tell the world before I go
Now I understand
I understand why
They do the things they do
