FASTER DISCO
Styling, you know you are styling
So turn to the mirror and blow yourself a kiss
It goes just like this
You've done it a thousand times
It's as easy as drinking wine, only now it's blood
Here it come again
(treating you so kind)
Till it comes again
(leaving you no mind)
Your feelings, they flow without reason
So look to the stars above and
Blow it all away
I come without warning
Some call me morning,
I wipe all your tears away, the evil ones I kill
Here it comes again
(treating you so kind)
Till it comes again
(leaving you no mind)
Taking the form of pain this time
It never treats you unkind
Your followers, lead them blind
And suck away their lives
Cause yours depends on it
Here it comes again
Chasing the night away

ANNE'S SONG
"HEY!" WHAT?? "Oh nothing, just wondering why it is you're doing
that whatever it is you're doing. "Oh yeah, why?" I dunno it just
doesn't seem like something you'd be doing that's all you of all
people, know what I mean? "Yeah I know it's been bugging you since the
day I was born, huh? I asked my friend Anne about it. I said, 'Anne,
Anne, Anne, what am I supposed to do, it's been bugging them since the
day that I was born.' She said 'Do whatever the hell you want to do!
Now is the time to do whatever you want, and it will still turn out
great. You've got the world at your feet.'"
I never claimed to be different, I only said I was bored and she's
tired of your uniqueness, it sends her over head first then the rest
of her follows, the breath of life, it never left her hollow...
I can do everything, she said, she said with a smile.
And I can go anywhere tonight, cause I'm with Anne.
Anne, Anne, Who? Anne Dagnabit Island princess queen with the juice
What's this? I see she brought her whole uplown contingent. First there's
Jon E., he always loves a party, he's followed by Vinnie, who's feelin'
kinda skinny, he says "Hey Anne I'm starved what you got to eat, she
says "Vinnie you're always starving man get away from that fridge!
Here comes Lucy, she's feelin' really sexy, she's followed by her
boyfriend, who'd better not turn around, this time, or he's bound to lose
her, and here comes Jamilla, who's got the cream soda...
I can do everything, she said, she said with a smile
And I can go anywhere tonight, cause I'm with Anne

INTRODUCE YOURSELF
From the day I was born, I took the bull by the horns, and gave you
plenty to scorn, well right on! Then you said in a song that life was
gettin real tough, but hey I think that you're bluffing, what of it?
Introduce yourself (right on!)
Now two decades gone by and I know that's a long time, para tiempo means
nada nunca. Cause I'm still the same asshole and I still wet my pants
every time that I see your face (who are you?)
Introduce yourself (right on!)
Hey Mr. Biggs, Hey Mr. Bestall, Hey Mr. Warner what's up?
Hey Mr. Enigma, Hey Mr. Bigtime, Hey Mr. Epic, What's going on?
Introduce yourself (right on!)

CHINESE ARITHMETIC
Candle light, it burns in every hole of your eyes
It's beautiful, how much you'll never realize
So hush my love, there's something I'm to tell you now
Your time has come, around again my sleepless one
Your friend was young, hung and plastered
He never knew his own disaster
I think it's good, in fact it was faster
Cause it was you that he was after
Hold me now, as if you'll never let me go
Unhand me now, as if you've always known my name
His love was king, his love was master
He needed more, he needed always
He searched in vein for love and shelter
In every soul, in every hallway
So you thought she'd be sweeter than your girlfriend Peter
Well give it a second chance cause you've yet to meet her
We got the same ideas, we got the same old fears
They're different colors sometimes, but, hey, who cares?
Just years that tears our lives apart
Just like the time that you tried to teach your cousin to walk
He couldn't do it-push!-you told him twice
Well, I do man but it just don't jive
Tried so hard to control my behavior
I tried so hard, so hard to believe you
But now I live only to deceive you...
So KICK and SCREAM!!!

DEATH MARCH
There's nothing I'd like more than to let you in
But now you're on the other side and there's no way...
To feel your breath of life upon my face
Cause with the state you're in there wouldn't be a trace
No I wake up every night with this emptiness inside
Hasn't been the same since you left without a trace
Quit the human race, did you? Camina con la muerto?

WE CARE A LOT
We care a lot about disasters, fires, floods and killer bees
We care a lot about the NASA shuttle falling in the sea
We care a lot about starvation and the food that Live Aid bought
We care a lot about disease, baby Rock, Hudson, rock, yeah!
We care a lot about the gamblers and the pushers and the geeks
We care a lot about the crack and smack and whack that hits the street
We care a lot about the welfare of all the boys and girls
We care a lot about you people cause we're out to save the world
YEAH!
And it's a dirty job but someone's gotta do it
We care a lot about the army navy air force and marines
We care a lot about the SF, NY and LAPD
We care a lot about you people, about your guns
about the wars you're fighting gee that looks like fun
We care a lot about the Garbage Pail Kids, they never lie
We care a lot about Transformers cause there's more than meets the eye
We care a lot about the little things, the bigger things we top
We care a lot about you people yeah you bet we care a lot,
YEAH!
Well, its a dirty job but someone's gotta do it
And it's a dirty song but someone's gotta sing it

R n' R
Don't put that thing too close to my head
It took this long just to get ahead, he says
He knows for sure, but that he can't decide
Between his decency and this matter of pride
So he's growing up on time, he's growing up in the middle...
And it burns, and it burns, the sun burns
Oh, now I can really feel it. How could you ever stand it?
We've got the same ideas, we got the same old fears;
Different colors sometimes, but hey, who cares?
It's just years that shears our lives apart, like the
Time you tried to teach your nephew to fart, he couldn't do it. PUSH!
So he's growing up on time, I'm growing up in the middle...
Oh, now I can really feel it. How could you ever stand it?
I'm not the kind of person who would say it, if it wasn't the truth
And then you go and tell a friend that her heart's on fire
And it has no meaning.
Now and only now I know the difference when you tell me
There is no difference.
So she's growing up on time, she's growing up in the middle...
Now's the time to evaluate between the love you give
And the love that you take.
"It's not a matter of opinion, when it comes down to it,
It's just a difference of opinion, that much I can take."
So I'm growing up on time, I'm growing up in the middle...
And it burns

THE CRAB SONG
"And after all the feelings go, I see I still love you so,
I just thought I'd let you know now that everything's okay,
And you are on your way back, back to where you came,"
She said with pain in her heart, it was there from the start.
Now I know why everything turns grey, but it's our own world we paint
And I want the brightest, I want flourescence every day and night
For the rest of my life, open your eyes, won't you?
Can't you see you're so beautiful to me?
Don't look back as a matter of fact there's
A ten foot Jack wants to break your back
You stole his girl, you wrecked his world
Now it's your your head that he's gonna twirl
He won't think once, he won't think twice
Cause he knows just what he's gonna do tonight
He will commit a crime, a crime of love
And he won't be happy till he sees your blood
Looking back on when you left me
Standing in the rain
Don't look back as a matter of fact there's
A son of a bitch and he's digging a ditch
For you my friend, my lucky one
So grab your things it's time to run to the other side
Where love takes pride, and your souls
The only thing that stays alive
Ma maooba goo goo ga ga
Hey! Quit talkin that terminal jive!
Looking back on when I left you...
Crying in pain
Don't look back...[1st verse]
Looking back on when you left me
Standing in the rain, in-credible pain
I understand. You have to be your own person. And that's ok with me.
Hurts, Hurts, Hurts, Like a like a motherfucher
Love. it hurts. it kills. Like a sonofabitch.
That feeling. It gets me. Down inside. Deep down there
No further. Keep going. Oh man that's right out my system

BLOOD
It doesn't really matter, the things you say to me
Cause if I had a ladder, up there is where I'd be
Outta here where the air is cold, you're messing with my mind
Hey! You do it every time, Hey! And the season comes around
Once more,once more.
It doesn't really matter, the things you try to say
It doesn't really matter, you say 'em every day
Right now just give me more blood
Just give it to me deep red
A flowing river crimson
A flowing river burning with desire
It's great, but I never said how great
Hey, you never really asked, well, I'm asking you right now
So shut up and explain
What's on your mind
In this dark hour
I said it doesn't matter, I can't be that much fatter
And you'll never get as much blood
From a phony Blarney, stone, rock, hard, Granite!?! Solid.

SPIRIT
She looked at me and did the bosa nova
I smiled at her and then just walked away
then the lights came on and it was over
to my surprise, she wasn't a girl at all
so I packed it up and took to a rock show...
where you can feel the pulse getting stronger
& you can only hear the beat for so long
I asked if there was any way to stop it
No, he said, just smile and act as if...
you worship the very ground on which they walk on...
no way
a temporary absence of gesture
a hidden meaning known to everyone
a slight misconception of leizure
don't see how that could hurt anyone...I know...but
spirit, excellence, further down the road,
these are the tools you'll need further down the road.
so lets pack it up and take it somewhere special...
from a quintessential, existential nightmare
to a sanctuary waiting in the sun

COLLISION
Collision, my mission
When the dawn breaks
With a hand shake
Relaxed and feeling great
Screeching, head on, head on, head on
I need it, I head on, I head on, I head on
Screeching, head on, head on, head on
I need it, I head on, I head on, I head on
All the day's plans
All the shaking hands
Beepers and suntans
Screeching, head on, head on, head on
I need it, I head on, I head on, I head on
Screeching, head on, head on, head on
I need it, I head on, I head on, I head on
Collision, my mission, head on, head on, head on, head on
When the dawn breaks
With a hand shake
Relaxed and feeling great
Collision, my mission
Head on, head on, head on

STRIPSEARCH
It's over today
The heat is gone, time is gone
F for fake
I feel no wrong, hide no wrong
I love this place, the lights
Under this face, so dry
Only way to change, give yourself away
Don't be ashamed, next in line
Close one eye, just walk by
In these days
I'm breathing stone, crying alone
I'll win this race
I'll leave alone, arrive alone
Love this place, the lights
Under this face, so dry
Stripped to the bone
I did no wrong
Truth is my name
Give yourself away
F for fake [4 times]
Give yourself away [3 times]

LAST CUP OF SORROW
This is getting old and so are you
Everything you know and never knew
Will run through your fingers just like sand
- Enjoy it while you can -
Like a snake between two stones
It itches, in your bones
Take a deep breath and swallow, your sorrow, tomorrow
Raise the cup and let's propose a toast
To the thing that hurts you most
It's your last cup of sorrow
What can you say?
Finish it today
It's your last cup of sorrow
So think of me
And get on your way
It won't begin until you make it end
Until you know the how the where and the when
With a new face you might surprise yourself
Like a snake between two stones
It itches, in your bones
Take a deeper breath and swallow, your sorrow, tomorrow
Raise the cup and let's propose a toast
To the thing that hurts you most
Is your last cup of sorrow
What can you say?
Finish it today
It's your last cup of sorrow
So think of me
And get on your way
You might surprise yourself [11 times]

NAKED IN FRONT OF THE COMPUTER
My box is full
And my mouth is full
And my life is full
And now my memory's full
In how many ways and words can you say nothing
Millions of ways and words to say nothing
In how many ways and words can you say nothing
Millions of ways and words to say nothing
What'd I say?
I'm empty
I bought the thing
I taught the thing
And I fought the thing
They said it's normal but they're keeping me dumb and hot
You're missing something, keeping me dumb and hot
You must be missing something keeping me dumb and hot
You're missing something, keeping me dumb and hot
What'd I say?
I'm empty
And I'm sending it back to you [5 times]

HELPLESS
The air is warm
I hear the wind in the trees
I know I'm there but I'll never be
The wind is soft tonight, the tide is low
And I know the way
- I never felt better now -
Sometimes life, it moves too slow
Slows to a crawl, and all the poetry is lost
And without speed, hope becomes certainty
And for once I'm certain
- I never felt better now -
A garden is it's own perfect world
Where everything has a place
Every leaf, every stone, every speck of dirt
But where's my place?
- I never felt better now -
I even tried to get arrested today
But everyone looked the other way
I count the hours, and I count the days
And for once I'm certain
- I never felt better now -
Don't want your help
Don't need your help
Don't want your help
Don't need your help
Helpless, helpless, helpless, helpless
(Helpless) You found a way to make me say: "help me please someone"
(Helpless) You found a way to make me say: "help me please someone"
The waters clean, I see that is full of dimes
For every wish I wonder why
Why all I want is something beautiful
A place to rest
- I never felt better now -
- I never felt better now -
Don't want your help
Don't need your help
Don't want your help
Don't need your help
Helpless, helpless, helpless, helpless
(Helpless) You found a way to make me say: "help me please someone"
(Helpless) You found a way to make me say: "help me please someone"
HELP! [12 times]

MOUTH TO MOUTH
You tied the knot
A legend is what you bought
I give you cold water and you
Swear it was wine, you bought time
If you can fool yourself, then why not them?
Just keep on passing it mouth to mouth to mouth
I can dress up the dead man
But I can't bring him back to life
Bring it back, bring it back
You tied the knot
Peeled your skin off, leaving a bundle of nerves
I give you a wet noodle, you swear that it was my tongue
A sharp one instead of that same old mouth to mouth to mouth to mouth
I can dress up the dead man
But I can't bring him back to life
Bring it back, bring it back
Mouth to mouth [several times]

ASHES TO ASHES
I want them to know it's me
It's on my head
I'll point the finger at me
It's on my head
Give it all to you, then I'll be closer
Smiling with the mouth of the ocean
And I'll wave to you with the arms of the mountain
I'll see you
I will let you shout no more
It's on my head (It's on my head)
I'll pick you up from the floor
It's on my head (It's on my head)
I'll let you even the score
It's on my head (It's on my head)
Give it all to you, then I'll be closer
Smiling with the mouth of the ocean
And I'll wave to you with the eyes of the mountain
I'll see you
Give the same to me, then I'll be closer, closer
Give the same to me, then I'll be closer, closer
Smiling with the mouth of the ocean
And I'll wave to you with the eyes of the mountain
Give the same to me, then I'll be closer, closer
Give the same to me, then I'll be closer, closer

SHE LOVES ME NOT
I'm here, alone, on the telephone line
I'm right where you want me to be
And I'll wait (here), to love (and) and never ask why
I'll be where you want me to be
And I know (and I know) [4 times]
I've been here before, and I know your kind
You're right where I want you to be
Now I'll say what I think
I'll never be what you want me to be
Just to be who I am
What you want me to be
You'll be on your knees
Tell me, tell me, Tell me it's not true [3 times]
Tell me it's not true
And now I'm here, alone, on the telephone line
I'm right where you want me to be
And I know (and I know) [4 times]
I wait, to love
And never I ask
I'll be where you want me to be
Now I'll say what I think
I'll never be what you want me to be
Just to be who I am
What you want me to be
You'll be on your knees
Tell me, tell me, Tell me it's not true [3 times]
Tell me it's not true
Why don't you tell me, tell me
Tell me, tell me
Tell me, tell me
Tell me it's not true

GOT THAT FEELING
Got that feeling
Luck is just a little of it
Got that feeling
I can't stop winning
A to Z
Look what you're missing, as we speak
Your number's rising, take a peak
There's just enough to go around Get a piece
Your own little piece of hell
Get it - go it
Got that feeling
Loving every minute of it
Got that feeling
I can't stop winning
Have a drink
A pot of coffee, cannot think
Too many friends here, just an inch
Between striking out and striking rich, just a risk
One I'll take and take again
Get it - go it
Got that feeling
Gotta bet a little of it
Got that feeling
I can't stop winning..
And start living
Stop winning
Start living
You can't borrow tomorrow

PATH OF GLORY
You squirt out red and turn so yellow
And then you made me kill my own
I'm not afraid (coming)
But I'm afraid
Blood in your eyes again
Bravery, the face of man
Blood on your mind again
Chivalry, the face of man
Blood in your lies again
Enemy, the face of man
Blood in your eyes, again, again, again
Is this the only path of glory?
If so then I won't go alone
Follow the trail (running)
Follow the trail
Blood in your eyes again
Bravery, the face of man
Blood on your mind again
Chivalry, the face of man
Blood in your lies again
Enemy, the face of man
Blood in your eyes, again, again, again
Again [several times]
I'm not afraid, but I'm afraid
I'm not afraid, but I'm afraid

HOME SICK HOME
Come home
It's been so long
We're missing you at home
So hang up that phone
Cuz I'm coming back home
Back home
Come home
It's been so long
I can't hide no more
So hang up the phone
Cuz I'm coming back home
Drive me home
Drive me home
Drive me home
Drive me
Keep on driving me home
Come home
It's been so long
We're missing you at home
So hang up that phone
Cuz I'm coming back home

PRISTINA
I'm watching you
You shall weep no more
It's your last breath of air
These walls won't week them out
They'll keep you in
But who's going to protect you?
Who?
In every darken land
In every flower bed
In every marriage bed
I'll be with you [5 times]
I'm watching you [3 times]
