Body Without a Soul

BODY WITHOUT A SOUL
Running aground, running amok
Out of control, out of luck
Going along, going astray
The sweetest pill to kill the pain
Leave me lonely, lonely
Body without a soul, body without a soul
Leave me lonely, lonely
Body without a soul, body without a soul
Buying more time, buying release
If I could pay, I’d buy my peace
Pushing it hard, pushing it in
Won’t play your game, so I can’t win
I can take it
I can fake it
I can make it
I can break it
I forsake it
I can take it away
Closing my eyes, searching my mind
Looking for something deep inside
Rising up in the afterglow
Another body without a soul
I can take it
I can fake it
I can make it
I can break it
I forsake it
I can take it away
I can take it
I can fake it
I can make it
I can break it
I forsake it
I can take it away
Running aground, running amok
Looking for someone I can f….
Body without a soul
Body without a soul

USE YOUR WORDS
Use your words
I’m not going to take this lying down
I’m not going let you bring me down
‘Cause I have got to make a change
I’m not going to take this lying down
Use your words (repeat, rinse, dry)

Come To Me

COME TO ME
How can I help you?
I can’t even help myself
How can touch you?
When I don’t even know what I feel
Love
Come to me
Love
Come to me
How can I miss you?
When I can’t even find myself
How can I kiss you?
I can’t even taste my dreams
Love
Come to me
Love
Come to me
How can I save you?
I can’t even save myself
Love
Come to me

You'll Find Out

YOU'LL FIND OUT
I’m a feather in the air in the sky
Floating over everything you do
When you believe that you are all alone
I’m the ripple on the waves in the sea
Holding you afloat over all you doubt
Is this a dream?
Well, you’ll find out
You’ll find out
I’m the ringing of the phone in your mind
Answer me and you will hear the voice of
Someone you forgot you left behind
I’m the venom in the fangs of the snake
Waiting for your step to come about
You think you’re all alone
But you’ll find out
You’ll find out
You’ll find out
You’ll find out

Your Husband The Fool
04:20

YOUR HUSBAND THE FOOL
Sitting on the roof
Staring into the night
Trying to recover
From a knock down drag out fight
You said you wanted to throw me away
‘Cause I belong in the trash
But you would rather stay and put up with me
Than part with the cash
You call me a fool
Your husband the fool
But who is fooling who?
Floating in the bath
Trying to relax
Trying to convince myself
That this will come to pass
You said you wanted someone to hug
But you can’t embrace your lies
You hate loneliness more than you’d love to leave me
Hanging out to dry
You married a fool
Your husband the fool
But who is fooling who?
You dress me up in a jester’s hat
With bells upon my shoes
But you can’t escape
That the way I look
Reflects all that is you
So call me a fool
Sitting on the beach
Looking over the sea
Trying to forget that you said
Love is all you need
You said you wanted to throw me away
‘Cause I belong in the trash
But you would rather stay and put up with me
Than part with the cash
You call me a fool
Your husband the fool
But who is fooling who?

Going Inside

GOING INSIDE
Tearing up the fabric of my mind
Pulling back the curtains on the divine
Going inside
Going inside
Going inside
Going inside
I’m going inside
Going inside
A little lost boy without a voice
A little lost boy without a choice
Going inside
Going inside
Going inside
Going inside
I’m going inside
Going inside
The minute hand ticks
It’s a matter of time
The minute hand ticks
It’s just a matter of time

Blindness

BLINDNESS
I feel so messed up inside
All of it I try to hide
Nothing makes me feel alive
Left my stinger in the hive
So I turn my eyes to you
To see if that can pull me through
But you fell down the slippery slope
And now you’re calling for the rope
All I can see
Saving you is killing me
My heart stops
So you breathe
Blindness
Blindness
You are so messed up inside
The universe of tears you’ve cried
Couldn’t wash away the lies
Piercing from your stinging eyes
You want me to heal the pain
And cool the burning in your brain
But sucking my life down the drain
Only derails the train
All I can see
Saving you is killing me
My mouth chokes
So you feed
Blindness
Blindness

Deceiver

DECEIVER
(Don’t believe a word I say)
Sailing over Lake Psychosis
Where the fish are so ferocious
Looking for my Mesalina
Jezebel, you’ve must have seen her
Oh my God, you’re so indecent
Little too late or too recent
Waiting in anticipation
Waiting for some fornication
Tune in your receiver
Time to tighten the grip
I am the Deceiver
Let me give you a tip
Don’t believe a word I say
(Don’t believe a word I say)
Look at me I’m in the bubble
Heading down the road to trouble
Sensual and very racy
Nothing here could ever faze me
Call the guards and sound the trumpets
Send in all the sluts and strumpets
Looking for my lustful floozy
Floating in the jacuzzi
Someone get me the cleaver
I need something to hack
I am the Deceiver
Better not turn your back
Don’t believe a word I say
Are you a believer?
Time to give it a rip
I am the Deceiver
Let me give you the slip
Don’t believe a word I say
(Don’t believe a word I say)

Fire of Desire

FIRE OF DESIRE
The fox comes to steal the mother hen’s eggs
The emperor shrugs at the kid who begs
The old man whistles at the young girl’s legs
And the fire of desire will never burn out
You only want what you can’t get
No one lives without regret
The gambler wants to place another bet
And the fire of desire will never burn out
When you're soft and cuddly as a porcupine
And you dream of turning water into wine
Your feet are dirty, but your soul’s divine
And the fire of desire will never burn out
The fat man’s grown too big for his britches
The rich man’s spent every cent of his riches
The pimp is gonna beat his bitches
And the fire of desire will never burn out
The fireman dreams of a golden ladder
The weatherman listens for the pitter-patter
Grandfather wishes for a stronger bladder
And the fire of desire
The fire of desire
Yeah, the fire of desire will never burn out
Ha ha
Ha

NOVEMBER 7
We took him out of the country
And brought him back to the city where he knows his way
Through the serpentine alleys
The smoke filled caverns where they call his name
With a generous offer
With a promise and a guarantee
He was losing will to live
No taste of malice in the air to breathe
It took the glare of the neon
To light a path to his resting place
The peace that beckons
A state of beautiful grace
Into the rain
Into the night
Into the sky that burns so bright
Into the storm
Into the flame
Into the source of all the pain
Into the past
Into the egg
Into the urge between your legs
Into the day
Into the sun
Into the place where we are one
We took him out of the city
And brought him to a grave in the countryside
And the fresh air hit him
His spirit rose into fading night
A spirit of the smoke
A taste of malice in the air to breathe
And the caverns were calling
The alleys were deserted again
The racket of the taxis
Chopping up the scattered rain
Into the rain
Into the night
Into the sky that burns so bright
Into the day
Into the sun
Into the place where we are one
We are one

CHRISTMAS GOOSE
It’s the time of year when shadows are long
The ground is frozen; the sunlight is gone
You’ve got a present for me to unwrap
I can’t thank you enough for giving me this crap
According to you you’re nothing but great
Do us all a favor and hibernate
Chestnuts roasting in the nuclear glow
All you caca farmers will reap what you sow
Christmas goose
Christmas goose
You’re getting loose
Christmas goose
Cooking in the oven
Or hanging from the noose
What did you do to deserve this abuse?
Christmas goose
All you slaves need to pick up the slack
A few malingerers sleeping in the back
The day is early; there are leagues to go
Unless you want the whip, you’d better start to row
Christmas goose
Christmas goose
You’re getting juiced
Christmas goose
Roasting in the oven
Or hanging from the noose
What did you do to deserve this abuse?
Christmas goose
Landing more punches than the thrilla in the Manilla
You’re about as subtle as Rodan and Godzilla
Making more waves than a Cuban flotilla
The sun only shines through the holes in the prison walls
Christmas goose
Christmas goose
You’re getting stuffed
Christmas goose
Cooking in the oven
Or hanging from the noose
What did you do to deserve this abuse?
Christmas goose
Christmas goose
Christmas goose
You’re getting loose
Christmas goose
Cooking in the oven
Or hanging from the noose
What did you do to deserve this abuse?
Christmas goose

What's Behind This Smile
04:16

WHAT'S BEHIND THIS SMILE
Staring down my demons
In my breakneck style
Keep those bastards guessing
What’s behind this smile
Look them in the eye
They just fade away
Like plumes of lethal smoke
Rising from the grave
What’s behind this smile
Is anybody’s guess
What’s behind this smile
Is too much to confess
Vultures on the rooftops
Watching every mile
Waiting to devour
What’s behind this smile
They will wait forever
Looming in the sky
Like thunderclaps and storm clouds
Floating in the eye
What’s behind this smile
Is really quite a mess
What’s behind this smile
Is too much to confess
Yes I know the devil looks like an honest man
And I know the devil marches in this wicked land
And I know that God is sick of this human race
And I know he doesn’t listen when us earthlings pray
And I know the time will come when my name is called
And I know I’ve got to be there standing quiet and tall
And I know the time will come when this world will fall
Yes I know the time will come when we end it all
Yes I know
Keep those bastards guessing
What’s behind this smile

GET IT OVER WITH
If all hope is lost
Then there’s nothing left to lose
And if all choice is gone
Then there’s nothing to choose
Out of my head
Out of my mind
Out of luck
And out of time
I just want to get it over
Want to get it over with
And if all bets are off
Then there’s nothing left to win
And if we’re all in Hell
Does it matter if I sin?
I’m out of my head
Out of my mind
Out of luck
And out of time
I just want to get it over
Want to get it over with
I just want to make it stop
Want to let the hammer drop
If you look into my heart
It’s been blown apart
And if all hope is lost
Then there’s nothing left to fear
And if I never cry
Then I’ll never want for tears
Out of my head
Out of my mind
Out of luck
And out of time
I just want to get it over
Want to get it over
Want to get it over
Want to get it over
Want to get it over
Want to get it over with
