Sweat

i’m minding my own business
running around Golden Gate Park
run into a friend of mine on a hot hot night
we’re both sweating like crazy
we stop to talk and then a woman runs by
and she said:
mister you make me sweat
and every time I see my heart is doing backflips
mister you make me sweat
and don’t even want to tell you the rest
so off I go back home for dinner
and think about what just happened to me
I’m thinking to myself, did this really happen?
or was it just another fantasy.
but she said “Mister…”
these things never happen to me
they only happen in the movies
someone this gorgeous happens along
don’t let her out of your site
‘cause she’s not the only one who’s sweating
and she said…

Falls Into Place

when I go to sleep at night
i want to fall asleep in your arms
and when I wake up, I don’t want to get out bed
if it means leaving you
when I’m swimming in the big bad ocean
I know that you’re watching over me
and if you crawl out from under a thunderclap
you know that I’ll be there to protect you
for one minute my life is turned upside down
for a day, all I think about is you
for one week I couldst’t stand to be apart from you
in my life, don’t go away, no don’t ever
well I knew just what I wanted
even if the world seems like a pretty bad place
and I might have been slow to catch on
but everything falls into place

Long Walk

she took a long walk
to get her head clear
and she knows she wants to do
if this is the future, she says she’ll always
be there for you
spent so many years
killing time, looking around
seeing nothing at all
she took a long walk …
i see your eyes
staring into the night
they say you’ll know it
when you get there
sometimes it’s slow
or very, very fast
i took a long walk …
to get my head clear
and I know i want to do
if this is the future, I will always
be there for you
no more nightmares
so close your eyes
falling asleep, in my arms

Oren

how do you solve a problem like oren
when it won’t go away
festering like an open wound
like an elephant in the room
and no one wants to look
pretending it will go away
there was something in your eyes
that went away
it’s as if you’ve been hypnotized
and that’s not ok
like valdamort he sucks
the air from the room
takes the color from your eyes
takes your dignity and your pride
so it’s better to turn away
and don’t look back
there was something in your eyes
that went away
it’s as if you’ve been hypnotized
and that’s not ok

What's With The New Guy?
03:05
|
|||
|
he asked her out on a date
she thought it was a friendly dinner
and that’s when things got weird
but she didn’t leave
I guess she thought it was fun.
like a new car smell
wrapped ‘round a human being
all the excitement of new love
just waiting to burst into flames
I heard he’s tone deaf in one ear
I heard he smells like dirt on a rainy day
I heard he smokes in bed, while he’s asleep
you won’t believe what I heard, you won’t believe what I saw.
like a new car smell …
and what about the pandemic?
there’s no pandemic when you’re falling in love
and what about brain fog?
you’re in a fog when you’re falling in love
and what about the hospital?
we don’t talk about that
like a new car smell
wrapped ‘round a human being
all the excitement of new love
just waiting to go down in flames
he asked her out on a date
while she was still with so and so
and that’s all you need to know about the new guy.

Not Bulletproof
04:18

throwing away your friends like an old newspaper
tossing your lover aside with a drag from a cigarette
keeping everything deep inside of your head
until it erupts, and there’s noting left for you to hold on to
there’s no one there, just an empty house
nobody to hold, nobody who cares
live your life like you really want it
don’t let your shoulders get too tight
while you’re looking back at what you’ve thrown away
you can’t have it all, even if you want it
where are you going in such a rush?
what will you see as you pass it by?
is it worth all this trouble to get you there?
when all you do, is say “it’s not enough”
live your life like you really want it
don’t let your shoulders get too tight
while you’re looking back at what you’ve thrown away
you can’t have it all, even if you want it
what did your parents do to make you so unhappy?
where they too tired to take you out for as walk
did they ever hold you and tell you how much they loved you?
or was it all kept under the skin?
throwing away your friends like an old newspaper
tossing your lover aside with a drag from a cigarette
the world is spinning and your life is spinning with it
until it erupts and there’s nothing left for you to hold on to
you threw it all away, when you needed it most
you didn’t have the time, now it’s all you’ve got.
and you’re not bullet proof …

Monster
08:25
|

|
this is your life
in black and white
the colors washed away
emotions repressed
your heart is broken
know what you’re doing
before it’s too late
or you’ll spend a lifetime asking questions
without any answers
insulted, ridiculed
a daily stream of abuse
you’re a loser, we’re a disaster
you’ve got wash that jerk right out of your hair
get up, get out and don’t look back
can your neighbors hear you when you cry in dark
but don’t give up hope
the monster’s gone away
