Body Without a Soul 04:53

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….

You'll Find Out 04:38
lyrics

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
lyrics

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 02:52

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 04:51
lyrics

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 04:24

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 02:40
lyrics

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 05:21
lyrics

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 07:07

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
