WAITING FOR ME  September 1989

 
I Stalk The Nights Alone,
Trying To Open My Home.
I Fear My Own Soul -
It's Locked Into Loneliness.
I Cannot See The Light Of Day,
My Only Hope Is My Fate. . .

Can't Somebody Be Here With Me? (Oh,-Oh)
Can't Somebody Be Here With Me, Everyday?

I Look Through Every Eye,
I Only See Nothing But Lies.
How Can My Life Go On,
Without Someone To Call My Own - -

But Then I Feel The Earth Shaking - -
I Hear The Roar Of The Wind And I'm Taken. . .
I Turn Around And I Think (Feel) That Love Is Waiting For Me. . .
And It Just Might Be...
O-oh, Yeah Love Is Waiting For Me...

My Only Dream Is To Get Away - -
If Only I Could Just Fade Away.
Like A Heart Without Love,
What's The Point?
Oh, I Don't Know!!

(REFRAIN)

(CHORUS)

I Am Not Strong,
I Only Try To Carry On.
I Will Not Be Torn Apart.
Oh, No I'm Too Smart. . .
I Could Never Let Anyone Inside - -
I Hold The Key And It's Mine,
All Mine, All Mine. . .

(CHORUS 2X)

I Could Never Let Anyone Inside - -
I Hold The Key
And It's Mine, All Mine, All Mine. . .

(CHORUS)

 

 
BRAND NEW   June 1995

 

I'm Not Use To Having-
My Own Soul Never Nagging-
I'm Living In My Dreams,
And It's Never-Ending It Seems. . .

This Is All Brand New --
And I Haven't Got A Clue --
I Can't Believe That It's True.
Don't Know What To Do --
(I Want To See It Through. . .)
Want You To Feel It Too. . .
Want You To See It Too. . .
Want You To Live It Too. . .

This Evil Spell Has Broken,
Now My Heart Is Open (Has Spoken),
I Am A New Man, But I Almost Ran. . .

(CHORUS)

No More (Longer A) Need For Waiting,
Never A Reason For Hating,
Just When I Thought The Sky Was Falling,
It Was My Inner SELF Just Calling. . .

(CHORUS)

 

A STORY  1994

 
This Is A Story (This Is A Story),
About A Man (About A Man) -
Oh, And I'll Tell Y'all If I Can.
This Is A Story (This Is A Story),
About A Man (About A Man) -
Instead Of Facing His Truth, He Ran...

One Day He Woke Up And He Looked Into The Mirror.
He Said, "Whatever Happened To My Life?"
One Day He Woke Up,
And He Looked Into Himself,
He Wondered, "Where Did My Life Go?"

This Is A Story (This Is A Story)
About A Man (About A Man) -
And He Really Didn't Understand About His Life,
This Is A Story (This Is A Story),
All About Lies...(All About Lies)
And It Was Too Late When He Realized.

(CHORUS)

This Is A Story (This Is A Story),
This Is A Story (This Is A Story),
This Is A Story (This Is A Story)
This Is A Sto-ry...

(REPEAT ALL 2X)

 

SECRETS   1991

 

I'm Sittin' On The Edge Of My Seat,
Waiting For The Car To Go...
Then We See An Unearthly Sight In The Field.
Two Men, On Two Horse-Dogs,
Dressed Like Cowboys
(Giddy-Up, Giddy-Up, Giddy-Up, Yippie-Tie-O'Cayae)
They're Gray And They Are Evil -
They Look Half Decayed...

And All I Want Is To Get Away,
I Don't Want To Face Them Yet -
Too Many Deep Dark Secrets -
How Long Have They Been Kept?
It Don't Feel Safe.
It Don't Feel Safe -
So I'm Gonna Keep Them To Myself...

Hurry And Drive (Ah-Ha),
She's Taking Her Time -
Stupid Woman!
You've Driven Us Into Their Trap...
Look Over To The Left,
Do You See The Bright Light?
The Car Stalls.
They Are Gaining On Us...

(CHORUS)

 

BANG!   1991

 

Bang, Bang, Let Me In...
All You've Gotta Do Is Just Give In...
Bang, Bang, Just Say When...
'Cause Sooner Or Later, You're Gonna - -
You're Gonna Let Your Heart Win...

Baby, Baby Gonna Win This Time.
If I Don't I'll Surely Loose My Mind.
Gonna Take, Gonna Take My Sweet Time.
I'm Gonna Have You In My Arms All The Time...

(CHORUS)

Going Down, Going Way Down South.
I Won't Stop 'Til I'm In Your House.
Just Like The Cat - Who Ate The Mouse.
I Won't Quit 'Til I Get A Little Bit...

(CHORUS)

 

UNDERGROUND   December 1999 / January 2000

 

Do You Know How I Really Feel?
I'm Ready To Die;
Is This Really Real?
I've Taken A Ride;
To The Other Side...
It's Buried My Soul;
So I Think That I've Died...

There's No Mistake About It...
It's Got A Hold There;
I'm Bleeding Blood;
Everywhere -
It's Taking It's Toll -
Do What I'm Told.

Nobody Takes The Blame -
When It Goes Down.
Does Anyone Feel The Pain?
And, No One Hears The Rain,
As It Comes Down -
No One Seems To Be Ashamed;
While They're Livin' Underground....
When They're Livin' Underground...

Every Night;
I Hear The Lie,
I Go Inside,
But It's Eating On The Outside...

Don't Know Why - -
I Can Not Die!
I Feel Like I've Fallen All The Way To The Southside...

In Flight;
I'm Gonna Fight...
I Wanna Reside Where It Lays In The Daytime...

(CHORUS)

How Do You Feel?
How Do You Deal?
It's Turning Around,
But It's Gonna Take A Long Time.

It's Right Here,
I See It Clear...
I'm Right Here,
But It Slips Into Fear.

Don't Know Why?
I Can Not Cry.
I'm Sure It's Because I Really Want To Say Goodbye...

In Flight;
I'm Gonna Fight...
I Wanna Reside Where It Lays In the Nightime...

(1ST REFRAIN:)
Even Through These Hours,
I Watch You Walk Away.
You Run Into The Avenue,
You're Worn Out,
You Want To Take Away - -
All Yours...

(2ND REFRAIN:)
Tonight,
I Feel My Spirit Praise You High;
And I'll Promise You The Servants - -
Who Watch Out Of A Lie...
Who Watch Out?
Watch Out!
Here Tonight...

(CHORUS)

 

DEAD OR ALIVE   December 2003

 

When I'm Trying To See,
When I'm Trying To Be -
A Man Without A Past.
It Takes All Of Me,
It Takes The Best Of Me -
But Still I Know It Can't Last.
It Takes A Will You Know,
It Takes 'Till You Grow,
And Even Then It Can Pass...

A Defective Purpose Could Be The Reason,
A Reflective Surface Could Tell Us A Lie.
It's Deeper Than Any Who Ask Why -
It's Tougher Than Any Skin Dead Or Alive...

All That Is Unkown,
All This Is In My Home.
Forgot To Make It With Love.
I've Got The Biggest Bone,
So Hard It Feels Like Stone,
Still I Can Feel It Above...
The Sounds That Make Me Make,
A Melody Give-Or-Take,
Some Reasons Just Don't Add Up...

(CHORUS)

Reaching For The Sky,
Sometimes I Don't Know Why,
Is It To Prove That I Can?
Don't See What I've Caused,
Don't Know If It's A Pause,
Too Soon To Know If I Ran.
Tonight Is History,
Nothing But Chemistry,
So Hot We Might Need A Fan...

(CHORUS)

A Cut To The Skin,
Can Happen To Many Men
For Reasons To Be Ignored.
Could We Be A Sin?
I Only Want To Win.
I've Done It All Now I'm Bored.
Which Way Do I Go
And Still Stay Below -
The People That I Adore...

(CHORUS)

One Thing That I Know,
Before You Close The Door -
You Can't Escape With A Plan.
You've Got To Sit Up Straight,
Look Right Into The Bait,
Just Maybe After You Can...
It's Easy To Ignore,
What's Always At The Core -
When Will You Understand?

(CHORUS)

I Don't Wanna Wait -
It's Gonna Be Great.
Nothing You Do Will Be Wrong.
This Is Never Late,
This Is Never Fate.
It's What I Knew All Along.
It's Waiting At The Gate,
Won't Work Through Your Hate,
This Is The End Of This Song...

(CHORUS)

 

NO HOPE   September 1992

 

My Heart Is Buried Beneath The Ground,
Archaeologists Couldn't Get To It - -
Even If They Tried.
Nothing Never Grows There - -
'Cause The Soil Is So Contaminated. . .
No Light Ever Shines There Either;
It's A Shaded Area - -
A Deserted Place. . .

I Lost The Map That Showed Me How To Get To It - -
And, I Lost The Map That Showed Me How To Find It - -
Now There's No-O-O-Oh Hope,
Now There's No-O-O-Oh Hope,
Just Instinct. . .
Just Instinct. . .

I'm Lost And I'm Frightened,
I'm Panicking. . .
I'm Desperately Searching For My Heart.
If Only I Could Find It. . .
If Only I Could Feel It. . .
If Only I Could Use It. . .

(CHORUS)

 

WRONG  August 2001

 

It Started Happening One Day -
Loosing My Sense Of Feeling.
Until I Woke Up One Morning And It Was All Gone...
All Gone.

I'm All Out Of Life And I'm Empty Inside -
I Think That I'm Loosing My Mind.
"Whatever" Is Fine And I Don't Even Care,
I Don't Even Want To Decide...

This Is Just Wrong...
This Is Just Wrong...
This Is Just Wrong...
I Need To Make It Right -
But I Don't Know How To Fight.

I Use To Rely On Intuition,
But It's Way Long Gone...
I Lost It Like A Memory I Never Had...

(REFRAIN)

(CHORUS)

 

A VOID IN ME (AVOIDING ME)   2003

 

Get Ready Boy, Here We Go!

What's Your Problem?
I Feel Like You're Avoiding Me...

Sometimes, I Feel Like I'm In Love...
And Sometimes, I Think That I'm Above...

Uh-Hu-Huh...
I Don't Know What's Going On
In Your Little Head Over There...

Peter Threw Me Out!

(Ad Lib.)

 

OWN MY OWN   December 2003

 

Confusion,
It's Taking It's Toll...
But A Fusion,
Is Mending My Soul.

It's Time To Realize It's Not All About Love,
Nor Is It Fate From Heaven Above.
Neither Of Us Is Bound To Be Together,
Forever -
So Let It Go (Let It Go, Let It Go)
...Just Let Go,
And Let What Will Be Will Be...

Delusion,
No Longer Has A Hold.
My Conclusion:
Is Worth It's Weight In Gold...

(CHORUS)

Resolution,
Is Really Really Bold.
Evolution,
Is Sometimes Cold.

BRIDGE:
Own My Own
(I'm On My Own...)

 

COME AWAY (INSIDE OF ME)   1996

 

Feel The Sand -
In Your Face.
As The Wind Leaves A Trace...
It's A Picture In Time,
Is It Only Mine?
I'm Staring Into Your Face.
If You Would Tell Me What's On Your Mind -
Don't You Know, Baby?
All I Have Is Time...

So Come Away -
And Let Your Heart Be Free...
Come Away,
And Baby You Will See -
My Love For You Inside Of Me,
...Inside Of Me.

The Sun Is Right On Time -
But Even Through The Clouds
I Know That You're Mine.
It's This Picture Of You
And It's All Brand New.
So Is This What's Love About?
How Can There Be Any Doubt?

So Come Away -
And Let Your Heart Beat Free...
Come Away,
And Baby You Will See -
My Love's For You Inside Of Me -
...Inside Of Me.

This Love's For You,
Baby I Love You...
This Love's For You,
Oh Baby I Love You!
So Come Away....
So Come Away...
Yeah, Yeah.

So Come Away -
And Let Your Heart Beat Free...
Come Away,
And Baby You Will See -
My Love's For You Inside Of Me -
...Inside Of Me.

Feel The Sand -
In Your Face. 
As The Wind Leaves A Trace...
It's A Picture In Time,
Is It Only Mine?
I'm Staring Into Your Face.
If You Could Tell Me What's On Your Mind -
Don't You Know, Baby?
All I Have Is Time...

So Come Away -
And Let Your Heart Be Free...
Come Away,
And Baby You Will See -
My Love's For You Inside Of Me...

 

GOING PLACES   1994

 

I Want To Be On The Otherside Of The Door.
I Want To Be Where It Happens -
Want To Be At The Core.
Don't Wanna Be Left,
I Want More...
I Want More....

Can't You See I'm In Desperation?
All I Need Is Some Inspiration (Good Vibrations).
Gonna Get My Life In Motion -
I'm Gonna Get Myself Out Of This Ocean...

'Cause I'm Going Places...
(East & West)
I'm Going Places...
(North & South)
You See, I'm Going Places...
(Near & Far)
('Cause) I'm Going Places...
(In & Out, Out & In, In & Out, Out & In, In & Out)

This Feeling's What I'm Living For.
It'll Be What I'm After
Right Now And Before.
I'm Falling Down,
Onto The Floor...
Onto The Floor...

(REFRAIN)

(CHORUS)

I'm Feeling Another Time And Space.
Visiting Me In A Different Place.
And Like Before,
I Need More...
I Need More...

(REFRAIN)

(CHORUS)

I Want To Be On The Otherside Of The Door.
I Want To Be Where It Happens -
Want To Be At The Core.
Don't Wanna Be Left,
I Want More...
I Want More....

(REFRAIN)

(CHORUS)

 

OVER HERE   1986

 

Oo, Oo, Oo....
Oo, Oo, Oo...
Oo, Oo, Oo...

Over There,
Is Where It's All Kept.
We Don't See It -
Maybe We Don't Want To.

Over Here,
Over There -
Do We Ever Dare?
Over Here,
Over There,
(Is It Really Fair?)
Do We Really Care?
(Is It Really Fair?)
Do We Really Care?

Turning Around,
We're Caught By Surprise.
How Do They Do It? -
We Want To Try It Too...
Trying To Forget,
Everything We've Ever Done -
Put It Over There,
Just Like The Matching Pair...

Over Here Over There -
Do We Ever Dare?
Over Here,
Over There -
Do We Really Care?
Do We Really Care?

Oo, Oo, Oo....
Oo, Oo, Oo...

(Repeat; Ad Lib.)

 

LESSONS IN LOVE (THE MESSENGER)   April 1988

 

I Needed This
About As Much
As A Slap In The Face.
But Now It's Done -
It's Over,
I'll Probably Get Over It...

But You,
You Gave Me This
Like A Test Of My Faith -
It Was Cruel,
It's Harsh -
I Never Asked For It,
You Know I Never Asked For It...

Someday I'll Realize
Why It Hurts So Much -
Tell Me How Come It Feels This Way?
I Want To Make You Pay!!!
(...Want To Make You Pay)

But You,
You Gave (Sent) Me This
Like A Test Of My Faith -
It Was Cruel,
It's Harsh,
I Never Asked For It,
You Know I Never Asked For It...

But, Until Then
I've Learned My Lessons In Love -
Don't You Listen To The Man
That Says, "Love Is Grand!"
'Cause I Guarantee You -
No, He Doesn't Understand...
He Doesn't Understand.

I Can't Keep On
Living Like An Animal.
I'm In The Middle Of Your Madness.
I Don't Know Right From Wrong...
(Don't Know - Right From Wrong)

(REFRAIN)

(CHORUS)

I'm Going To Leave,
And I Won't Look Back
For A Second In Time.
I'll Only Remember
The Mistakes I've Made -
And The Look On Your Face
At The End Of The Race
(...End Of The Race)

(REFRAIN)

(CHORUS)

- SPEAKING:
Pain Is To Love,
As Tears Is To Heartache,
As Love Is To Rejection,
As Old Is To Tired,
As Young Is To Pleasure,
As I Want It All:
As I...Want...It...All...

(REFRAIN)

(CHORUS)

{Ad Lib. 'Till End}

But Until Then,
I've Learned My Lessons In Love...
(Na, Na, Na, Na, Na-Nah)

But Until Then,
I've Learned My Lessons In Love...

But, Until Then...

 
LOVING YOU FROM AFAR   1992

 

I Feel Like I Know You -
Even Though We Never Really Met.
I Want To Get Closer To You,
And I Feel That You'd Like That Too...

But Something's Not Right,
Something's In The Way -
I Know You're Scared,
'Cause I Am Too...
So For Now,
It Will Just Have To Do...

O-Oh, I'm Loving You From Afar,
O-Oh I'm Loving You From Afar -
And I Really Don't Even Know How,
But It's The Only Way That I'm Allowed...

When I See You Around -
You Look At Me And You Smile.
Maybe It's Time To Make A Move,
But I Feel Oh There's Just Too Much To Lose... 
So I'll Keep Loving You From Afar...

(CHORUS)

 

ALL TO ME   August 1995

 

I'm Taking What I Need
But Then You, Pull Back...
You Know I Have Feelings To.
I'm Always Struggling To Be Conscious.
So Don't Promise Me Anything.
Unless You Want To Deliver.

(And) Give It All To Me,
Or I Don't Want Any Of It
Don't Waste My Time -
Don't Tease Me,
And Don't Play Games.
No, No, No...

Now You're Complaining.
Now You Have Second Thoughts
Now You Want Your Own Rules
Oh, Please Make Up Your Mind

(CHORUS)

Give It, Give It, Give It, Give It, Give It,
Give It All To Me...
Give It, Give It, Give It, Give It, Give It,
Give It All To Me...

 

BREAKDOWN   Fall 2000

 

Baby,
You Know It,
And You See It
Coming Your Way.
And Your Wired Up,

Tired,
You Fight It,
And You Know It.
Oh, And You Feel It.
Oh, Yeah-Yeah.

Funny How It Goes
When You Sing A Little Song
About A Breakdown.
Oh-Yeah.
Funny How It Flies
When You Never Tell A Lie
About A Breakdown...
Oh-Yeah...

 

NO TURNING BACK  1988

 

You Came To Me Like A Thought -
Quick And Easy.
But You Left Me Like Death -
Painfully And Eternally.

I've Tried To Think What I've Done -
That Was So Bad...
I've Tried To Think What I Said -
To Make You Treat Me So Bad...

Love And Hate:  A Thin Border...
They're Like Parallel Dimensions.
But Once You Cross -
There'll Be No Turning Back.
No, There's No Turning Back.

What Makes It Click -
Like The Straw That Broke The Camel's Back.
Don't Underestimate The Power Involved.
Play With Fire
And You Will Surely Get Burnt.

(REFRAIN)

(CHORUS)

Tomorrow Is A New Day,
And I Will Start Over Again.
This Time,
More Carefully -
I'll Clean The Wounds.

(REFRAIN)

(CHORUS)

 

COME TO ME   January 1988

 

You Touched Me,
Where No One Ever Has...
Your Every Word Goes
Deep Into My Soul.

I Want (Need) To Be With You Now -
But You Are So Far Away...

Everywhere I Look,
I See Your Face -
My Whole Body Weeps Like A Willow,
It Weeps Like A Willow...

(REFRAIN)

I'll Go To You -
If You Will Come To Me.
I Want To Always Be There For You -
Oh, How I Love You!

Love Is Strange.
I Feel So Good When I'm With You,
When You're Away -
I Bleed With Pain.
Though I Know We Just Met,
But I've Known You All Of My Life -
And I've Finally Found You -
I Won't Give Up
Until You Are In My Arms...

(REFRAIN)

(CHORUS)

 

WANT YOU TONIGHT    March 1995

 

I Think It's Time To Let You Know
What I Feel Inside
I Gotta Let It Show
'Cause I Know I Can't Live Without You -
I'll Never Find Another Like You.
In This World...
In This World.

And I Want You Tonight,
I Want To Love You.
Throughout The Night,
I Want You Tonight.
I Want You Oh, Tonight...
Oh-Oh...

I'll Never Be The Same Again
My Heart Is Beating Real Fast Again
I Know That I Can't Live Without You
I'll Never Find Another Like You,
Ever Again...
Ever Again...

(CHORUS)

 

HE COMFORTS ME   April 1988

 
Anger Is Pain.
Time Only Eases It.
The Pain Its So Bad
That I Could Swear I'm In Hell.
But Then I Think Of God.

And Like A Stone Thrown In The Wind,
Oo, He Comforts Me.
But Then I Think Of God
And Like The Stone Thrown In The Wind,
Oo, He Comforts Me.

I've Always Tried To Do Good,
I Never Look For Bad.
But Oh, I Feel So Bad,
I Could Swear I'm In Hell.

But Then I Think Of God
And Like A Light
In The Blind Man's Eyes,
Oo He Comforts Me.
Umm, He Comforts Me...

Learning To Let Go,
Learning To Set Free...
If Only I Could Remember...
It Will Come Back To Me,
Much Greater...
Much Better...

 

FIX   November 1994

 

Walking Up The Avenue,
I'm Trying To Fix It...
Walking Through The Park,
I'm Trying To Fix It...
Walking Along The Piers,
I'm Trying To Fix It...
Having Sex In The Back Rooms,
Oh - I'm Trying To Fix It.

I Don't Know What Comes Over Me -
But I'm In A Spell,
A Trance...
And I've Got A Vision -
Ooh, And I've Got A Mission.

But Every Night -
I Try To Fix It...
But Every Night -
I've Got To Fix It...
But Every Night -
I'm Gonna Fix It...
But Every Night...

I Don't Know What Went Wrong Or When...
I Didn't Have A Choice
And Now I'm Living With The Sin...

Can't Get Past The Trauma -
What I Might Have Been?
Ooo, It's A Valid Argument.
Who's To Say?
I Pick Up The Phone And I Dial.
If Only My Brother...
Hadn't Raped Me As A Child.
(Dial, Child)

(CHORUS)

 

WARNING SIGN  1994

 

When You're Built Like Me,
You Keep Everything Inside -
That's Not So Good.
Because I Know That If You Were To Push Me
Over That Edge
I'm Not Sure What I'd Do...

I'm Not Quite Sure What I'm Capable Of -
But I Have This Deep Feeling -
This Dark, Intuitive Feeling.
This Sickening, Knowing Feeling  -
That I Would Kill You,
Yes...

I Could Kill Someone Then,
I Have No Doubt.
All Of This Tension
And All Of This Anger,
All Of This Waiting,
It's Building And Building.

It's All Adding Up,
And I'll Never Know
When It Hits The Top.
But I Can Feel The Steam Building Up...

(I'm Getting A) Warning Sign,
(Nothing, But A) Warning Sign
(This, Getting A) Warning Sign...

What Do You Do Then?
This Is Life
And There's No Escape From It...
I've Got To Control Myself -
Keep Order In My Life -
This Is Being Humane.

A Sense Of Consciousness -
This Is The Process Of Evolving...
It's Such Fucking Hard Work!
It's Such Fucking Hard Work!

(And I'm Getting A...)

(CHORUS)

(Repeat, Ad Lib.)

 

RUT   1986 / March 2004

 

I Woke Up This Morning,
'Tried To Figure Out What Was Wrong.
I Think I'm Feelin' Fine -
But I Know I'm Just Going Along.
Whenever You're Around,
I Have This Funny Feeling Inside.
Well, I Think I'm So Smart,
But I Just Want To Run And Hide.

I Know,
That You Know,
That I Could Be -
Better Than You've Ever Had.
You Know,
That I Know,
That You've Been -
Wishing What I'll Never Have..

I'm In A Rut Now Baby
For Just Too Long.
Why?  I Don't Know.
And You String Me Along...
I'm In A Rut. 

Well Everytime I Talk To You,
I Feel As Though I'm Not Getting Through -
But When I Do (It Never Fails)
You Turn It Around,
And Say You Knew...
Then What Are You Doing Here?
When My Love Could Be Waiting Near... 

(REFRAIN)

It's Written All Over Your Face.
Tonight's The Night -
I Know That It's Right...

I Can't Wait Any Longer.
I Want You So Bad... 

Can't Get You -

Now That You're Mine,
Let's Just Take Our Time.

Your Voice Is So Low...

Boy, It’s Taking Time
But You Want Me.
Gotta Make It Down
You’re In Love,
But I’ve Been Waiting For A Melt Down.
Maybe?

(REFRAIN)

(CHORUS)

 

MAKE ME WANNA COME   August 1995

 

[Spoken:  Oh, Baby, Listen To Me. . .
Oh, Listen To What You're Doing To Me!
Oh. . .Come And See What You're Doing To Me,
Can You Feel It?,
Oh, Baby, Yeah. . .
Oh, Fuck...
Etc. Ad Lib. . .]

You're So Hot And You're Beautiful,
You Make Me Want To Come
When You Work Your Body
When You Move Like That
You Make Me Want To Come
When You Talk To Me,
When You Wink At Me,
It's Makes Me Want To Come, Cum, Come. . .

When You Say That To Me,
When You Touch Me,
When You Do That To Me,
When You Touch Me,
When You Say That To Me,
When You Touch Me,
Oh - Oh, It Makes Me Want To Come. . .
My Dick Gets (It's) So Hard,
And That's All I Can Do,
Is Just Come, Cum, Come. . .

(Make Me Want To, [sung with a triplet feel]
You Make Me Want To,
You Make Me Want To,
Make Me Want To Come. . .)

Feel My Dick, It's So Hard - -
I Just, I Just, I Want To Come
I Can't Hold Back,
I Wanna Come. . .
I Can't Hold It Back - -
Oh, I've Gotta Come. . .
I Can't Hold It Back - -
I've Gotta Come. . .

Take Me Into Your Hands - -
And Feel What I Mean. . .

(Make Me Want To, [sung with a triplet feel]
You Make Me Want To,
You Make Me Want To,
Make Me Want To Come. . .)

I Can't Hold Back - -

You Make Me Wanna Come. . .

DREAM OF THE DEAD   January 1989

 

After The Accident,
I Began To Feel Scared.
The Horrible Screaming,
Stayed In My Head.

Like A Bullet,
Like A Knife,
Like The Book That Lay - -
Under Her Head. . .
I Dream Of The Dead,
I Dream Of The Dead. . .

I Try To Yell At You,
But Nothing Will Come Out (Of My Mouth)
You See The Terror,
Lying In My Eyes. . .

(CHORUS)

Why Did She Come?
Why Did She Threaten Us?

She Began To Cry,
I Went Over And Encouraged Her To Die - -
You Left The Room,
And Then She Died,
Died, Died, Died, Died,
Died, Died, Died,

Why Did She Come?
Why Did She Threaten Us?
Why Was She Pointing A Gun At You?

 

HANGIN' ON   May 1987

 

You,
Left Me,
Hanging On A String,
Without A Lead.
But You,
Could See,
That We,
We're Meant To Be - -

Can't You See,
What You're Doing To Me,
It's Wrong,
Admit It,
You're Just Afraid. . .

You, You Left Me,
Hanging On A String,
Oh, Without A Lead.
But You,
You Could See,
That We, Hoh We-e
Were Meant To Be,
And You Keep Me Hangin' On,
Hangin' On, Hangin' On,
And You Keep Me Hangin' On,
Hangin' On, Hangin' On,
And You,
Keep Me,
Hanging On. . .
And You Keep Me Hanging On,
(H-o-h-n, Ooh, Admit It!)
You're Just Afraid. . .
And You Keep Me Hangin' On,
Hangin' On, Hangin' On,
[Whispers:]
Hanging On...
Hanging On. . .

How I Love Thee...
