Hup! Oww...
yeah yeah yeah yeah ow
chiki picka wow
Hup! ey yeah
Come and relax now
Put your troubles down
No need to bear
the weight of your worries here
let them all fall away

Ha, open wide, oh so good I'll eat you, take me for a ride
In your sweet delicious, perfect little mouth
Thereupon I linger,
You will have no doubt that I do my best for you, I do
Love, let's stop to get it going
Lost myself just thinking about the two of us
From each other drinking
Begin with the lips, fingertip and kissing
Turn me inside out, I do my best for you

Yeah, yeah, aww, umm, ummm

Up and down we go, from the top you push me
This is such a thrill
Lost in love and dancing, shake your tambourine
You blow my head open
Of one thing I'm sure, that I do my best for you, I do
Ow, for you I would crawl through the darkest dungeon
Climb a castle wall
If you're my Rapunzel, you let your hair down
Right in through the window
Good they locked the door, cause I do my best for you

Yeah, aww, aww, umm

I think the world of you, all my heart I do
Blood through my veins's for you
You alone have all of me
I give my world to you, to you I will be true

Oooohh, aaaahhh

Too good to be real
the smell of something cooking, my soul up to steal
Of more food we're filling
What you've given me
For it there's no measure
Of one thing I know, 'cause I give my best for you

I think the world of you, with all of my heart I do
'Cause the blood in my veins's for you
You alone have all of me
From you my strength is so full
To carry your burdens too
I give my world to you

Oooohh, aaaahhh

Hip lock up so tight you drive me crazy
Crazy is all right, with you looking at me
You make me feel high
Every single thing you do to me is like I'm drunk
I do my best for you, I do
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!
Oh that cold chilling tongue, giving me, giving me shivers . . .

Silence is poetry.

Fire,
The sun is well asleep
The moon is high above
Fire grows from the east.
How is this hate so deep
To lead us all so blindly killing killing?
Fools are we
If hate's the gate to peace
This is the last stop
Raining tears

War the only way to peace?
Well I don't fall for that
Raining tears

You're righteous, so righteous, so righteous
You're always so right
Go ahead and dream
Go ahead believe that you are the chosen one
Rain tears, rain tears, rain

Oh no
Gracious even God
Bloodied on the cross
Your sins are washed enough.
A mother's cry:
"Is hate so deep?
Must my baby's bones
This hungry fire feed?"
Smoke clouds roll in,
Symphony of death
This is the last stop
Raining tears

Right is wrong now
Ha! Shut up your big lie
The black is white lie
You comb your hair to hide
Your lying eyes

You're righteous, so righteous, so righteous
You're always so right, oh my
But why your lie
Go ahead and dream
Go ahead believe that you are the chosen one
This is the last stop

Hate is always blowing up
But I hope that we can break it down
So it's not so black and white, black and white

This is the last stop

Hate is always blowing up
I hope that we can break it down
So it's not so black and white, black and white

You're righteous
You're righteous
You're righteous
You're always so right
But there you are nailing God to a tree
And then say forgive me, forgive me
and then lie

Go ahead and dream
Go ahead believe that you are the chosen one

Tears rain, tears rain, tears rain
This is the last stop

Hate is more than blowing up
But I hope that we can break it down
It's not so black and white, black and white. i believe i believe
so right

Come out come out
No use in hiding
Come now come now
Can you not see?
There's no place here
What were you expecting
No room for both
Just room for me
So you will lay your arms down
Yes I will call this home

Away away
You have been banished
Your land is gone
And given to me
And here I will spread my wings
Yes I will call this home
What's this you say
You feel a right to remain
Then stay and I will bury you
What's that you say
Your father's spirit still lives in this place
I will silence you

Here's the hitch
Your horse is leaving
Don't miss your boat
It's leaving now
And as you go I will spread my wings
Yes I will call this home
I have no time to justify to you
Fool you're blind, move aside for me
All I can say to you my new neighbor
Is you must move on or I will bury you

Now as I rest my feet by this fire
Those hands once warmed here
I have retired them
I can breathe my own air
I can sleep more soundly
Upon these poor souls
I'll build heaven and call it home
'Cause you're all dead now
I live with my justice
I live with my greedy need
I live with no mercy
I live with my frenzied feeding
I live with my hatred
I live with my jealousy
I live with the notion
That I don't need anyone but me
Don't drink the water
There's blood in the water

We were walking
Just the other day
It was so hot outside
You could fry an egg
Remember you were talking
And I watched as sweat ran down your face
Reached up and I caught it at your chin
Licked my fingertips

We were
We were
Just wasting time
Let the hours roll by
Doing nothing for the fun
A little taste of the good life
Whether right or wrong
Makes us want to stay, stay, stay, stay, stay for awhile

Then later on the sun began to fade
And then, well, the clouds rolled over our heads
And it began to rain
Oh, we were dancing mouths open
We were splashing and the tongue taste
And for a moment this good time would never end

You and me
You and me
Just wasting time
I was kissing you
You were kissing me love
From good day into the moonlight
Now a night so fine
Makes us wanna stay, stay, stay, stay, stay for awhile

Wasting time
I shall miss this thing when it all rolls by
What a day
Wanna stay, stay, stay, stay, stay for awhile

Hey love
Oh, just groping you
Rolling in the mud
Stay a while
Oh come on, love
Wanna stay, stay, stay, stay, stay for awhile

Hey little dreamer's eyes open and staring up at me
Oh, little lovely eyes, oh, radiant
Wait until I come and I will steal you
Wait until I come I'll take your soul
Wait until I come and I will steal you
Wait until I come and I will go

I will dream within the night
Shadows on the windows
Lead our love
Every love will lead me on tonight
I will lay you lying,
I will not within this life

Oh, little dreamer eyes open and waving here
Wait until I come, I see him with you
Until I come, I'll leave with me
Until I come, I do come, love...

We will leave it all behind
Oh, and in the nightmares,
I'll fill them in good time, oh
They will 'seech your mind
And no lying, and you may, well, ask,
"Why do we run around here?
Oh, while you come inside me
Oh, why does it rip me all between?"
Why then, why then, watch this little fuck!

Going away, yeah...
Why this lonely, why this lonely, why this lonely, love?
Why this lonely, why this lonely, why this lonely, love?
Halloween.
Carry on, burial, burial, burial, burial, burial
And let them see
But tell us, are you satisfied with fucking?
Don't walk away, don't walk away, don't walk away
I'm talking to you
Lovey dove, love is hell, love is hell, love is up to you
Love, love, love, love is up to you
Love, love, love, love is up to you
Fuck!

In the sky is it wrote
Up from the ground,
I stay out of breath
I felt the temperature rises
And I felt across the creeping cold
These graves...

I've this creeping
Suspicion that things here are not
as they seem
Oh Reassure me
Why do I feel as if I'm in too deep
Now I've been praying
For some way to show them
I'm not what they see
Yes I have done wrong
But what I did I thought
needed be done
I swear
O Unholy day
If I leave now I might get away
Oh but this weighs on me
As heavy as stone and as blue as I go
I was just wondering if
you'd come along
hold up my head when my head
won't hold on
I'll do the same if the same's
what you want
But if not I'll go
I will go alone
I'm a long way
From that fool's mistake and
and now forever pay
No, run
I will run and I'll be ok
But I was just wondering if
you'd come along
hold up my head when my head
won't hold on
I'll do the same if the same's
what you want
If not I'll go
I will go alone
A long way
To bury the past
So I don't have to pay.
Oh how I wish
This to turn back the clock
And do over again
Now I'm just wondering if
You'll come along
Hold up my head when my head
Won't hold on
I'll do the same if the same's
What you want
If not I'll go, I will go alone.
I need so
To stay in your arms, see you smile,
hold you close
And it weighs on me
As heavy as stone and
a bone chilling cold
I was just wondering if
you'd come along
Tell me you will

Crazy how it feels tonight
Crazy how you make it all alright love
Crush me with the things you do
And I do for you anything too, oh
Sitting, smoking, feeling high
And in this moment, ah, it feels so right

Lovely lady, I am at your feet
Oh god i want you so badly
and i wonder this could tomorrow be
so wonderous as you there sleeping

Lets go, drive till, mornin comes
Watch the sunrise, and fill our souls oh
Well drink some, wine till, we get drunk YEAH

It's crazy I'm thinking
Just knowing that the world is round
And here I'm dancing on the ground
Am I right side up or upside down
And is this real or am I dreaming

Lovely lady
Let me drink you please
Won't spill a drop, no, I promise you
Lying under this spell you cast on me
Each moment
The more I love you
Crush me
Come on, oh yeah

It's crazy I'm thinking
Just knowing that the world is round
And here I'm dancing on the ground
Am I right side up or upside down
Is this real or, oh, am I dreaming

(Boyd's Solo)

Lovely lady
I will treat you sweetly
Adore you I mean you crush me
And it's times like these
When my faith I feel it
I know how I love you
Come on, Come on
Baby

It's crazy I'm thinking
Just as long as you're around
I'm here I'll be dancing on the ground
Am I right side up or upside down
To each other we'll be facing
My love
By love
We'll beat back the pain we've found
You know
I mean to tell you all the things I've been thinking deep inside
My friend
Each moment the more I love you

Crush me
Come on
Baby
So much you have given love
That I would give you back again and again
Oh my love
Meaning I'll hold you
But please please just let me always....

Isn't it strange
How we move our lives for another day
Like skipping a beat
What if a great wave should wash us all away
Just thinking out loud
Don't mean to dwell on this dying thing
But looking at blood
It's alive right now
Deep and sweet within
Pouring through our veins
Intoxicate moving wine to tears
Drinking it deep
Then an evening spent dancing
It's you and me
This love will open our world
From the dark side we can see a glow of something bright
There's much more than we see here
Don't burn the day away

Is this not enough
This blessed sip of life
Is it not eonough
Staring down at the ground
Oh then complain and pray for more from above
Greedy little pig
Stop just watch your world trickle away
Oh it's your problem now
It'll all be dead and gone in a few short years
Just love will open our eyes
Just love will put the hope back in our minds
Much more than we could ever know
Don't burn the day away

Come sister
My brother
Shake up your bones shake up your feet
I'm saying open up
And let the rain come pouring in
Wash out this tired notion
That the best is yet to come
But while you're dancing on the ground
Don't think of when you're gone
Love! love! - what more is there?
We need the light of love in here
Don't beat your head
Dry your eyes
Let the love in there
There are bad times
But that's ok
Just look for love in it
Don't burn the day away

Look
Here are we
On this starry night staring into space
And I must say
I feel as small as dust
Lying down here
What point could there be troubling
Head down wondering what will become of me
Why concern we cannot see
But no reason to abandon it
Time is short time that's all right
May We all go out in the middle of the night
Take your hands from your eyes, my love
All good things must come to an end some time
Don't burn the day away

Come sister
My brother
Shake up your bones shake up your feet
I'm saying open up
And let the rain come flooding in
Wash out this tired notion
That the best is yet to come
But while you're dancing on the ground
Don't think of when you're gone
Love! love! - what more is there?
We need the light of love in here
Don't beat your head
Dry your eyes
Let the love in there
There are bad times
But that's ok
Just look for love in it

Spoon in spoon
Stirring my coffee
I thought of you
And turned to the gate
On my way came up with the answers
I scratched my head
And the answers were gone

From hand to hand
Wrist to the elbow
Red blood sand
could Dad be God
Crosses cross hung out like a wet rag
Forgive you? Why?
You hung me out to dry

Maybe I'm crazy
But laughing out loud
Makes the pain pass by
And maybe you're a little crazy
But laughing out loud makes
it all subside
Holding, I'm holding
I'm still falling
I'm still falling

Spoon in spoon
Stirring my coffee
I thought of this
And turned to the gate
But on my way
Crack
Lightning and thunder
I hid my head
And the storm slipped away

Well maybe I'm crazy
And laughing out loud
Makes it all pass by
And maybe you're a little crazy
And laughing out loud
Makes it all alright
Laughing out loud

From time to time
Minutes and hours
Some move ahead while
Some lag behind
It's like the balloon that
Rise and then vanish
This drop of hope
That falls from his eyes

Spoon in spoon
Stirring my coffee
I think of this
And turn to go away
But as I walk
There're voices behind me saying
Sinners sin
Come now and play
