"Hurricane"

"Hurricane"


I am a genius
I am a diamond
My pretty tongue gives you a freezer burn
I think above you in three dimensions
Come in here, you can never return

Like a hurricane
in the face of the wind and the rain
like a hurricane

When you open you open a vein
I see your headlights across my ceiling
you are a puppet of a wish I made
They never touch me, they say I'm crazy
I was born from my mother's brain, my mother's brain

Like a hurricane
in the face of the wind and the rain
like a hurricane

When you open you open a vein
You plant a seed in my mind
I walk around and I speak your message
For myself I don't know what to say
I walk around and I speak your message

Like a hurricane
in the face of the wind and the rain
like a hurricane
When you open you open a vein
Give me more give me more Novocain

"I Don't Need No Doctor"
(originally by Ray Charles)



I don't need no doctor
'Cause I know what's ailing me
I don't need no doctor no no
'Cause I know what's ailing me
Been too long away from my baby
And I'm coming down with misery

(I don't need no doctor)
(I don't need no doctor)

I don't need no doctor
For my prescription to be filled

(I don't need no doctor)
(I don't need no doctor)

I don't need no doctor no no
For my prescrition to be filled

(I don't need no doctor)
(I don't need no doctor)

Only in my baby's arms
Can I ever take away this chill

(I don't need no doctor)
(I don't need no doctor)

Doctor says I need rest
What I need is his tenderness
Put me on the critical list
All I need is his sweet kiss
Gave me a medicated lotion
But it didn't soothe my emotion

(I don't need no doctor)
(I don't need no doctor)

Mmm talk about it now

Doctor says I need rest
What I need is his tenderness
Put me on the critical list
What I need is his sweet kiss
Gave me a medicated lotion
But it didn't soothe my emotion

(I don't need no doctor)
(I don't need no doctor)

I don't need no doctor
All my hope to live is gone

(I don't need no doctor)
(I don't need no doctor)

I don't need no doctor no no
'Cause my hope to live is gone

(I don't need no doctor)
(I don't need no doctor)

All I need is my baby
Won't you pleeeease
Won't you please come on home

(I don't need no doctor)
(I don't need no doctor)

I don't need no asprin

(I don't need no doctor)
(I don't need no doctor)

I don't need no lotion

(I don't need no doctor)
(I don't need no doctor)

I don't need no medication
I don't need no

(I don't need no doctor)
(I don't need no doctor)

(I don't need no doctor)
(I don't need no doctor)

All I need is my baby

(I don't need no doctor)
(I don't need no doctor)

My baby yeah yeah

(I don't need no doctor)
(I don't need no doctor)

"I Know What's Goin' On"

"I Know What's Goin' On"


Mmm...
You would make a mistake
If you think I'm not awake
I know what's goin' on
You've been lying to me
But I don't want to set you free
I know what's goin' on
I'm the one who makes you happy
You got to know that for sure
Come on can we give our love just one more try
Make it better than it was before
Did you try to resist
Was she longing to be kissed
I know what's going on
You have changed who you are
I been watching from afar
I know what's going on
Mmm..
I know what's goin' on
Mmm...
I know what's goin' on
Does she whisper, does she sing
Does she say you're everything
I know what's goin' on
I can see it in my head
When we're lying in our bed
I know what's goin' on
I'm so angry I could murder, oohh
And I'm so lonesome in my mind
Oh, how I wish I didn't love you baby
But you got me hangin' on your line
Mmm...
Mmm...
I will wait for this to end
Cause I know you'll need a friend
When at last she breaks your heart
Cause the only way to win
Is to get you back again
Until then I'll fall apart
Mmm...
I know what's goin' on
[ad lib to end]

"I'll Be Around"
(originally by The Spinners)



This, is our fork in the road
Love's last episode
There's nowhere to go, oh no
You made your choice, now it's up to me
To bow out gracefully
Though you hold the key, but baby
Whenever you call me, I'll be there
Whenever you want me, I'll be there
Whenever you need me, I'll be there
I'll be around
I, knew just what to say
Now I found out today
That all the words had slipped away, but I know
There's always a chance
A tiny spark remains, yeah
And sparks turn into flames
And love can burn once again, but I know you know
Whenever you call me, I'll be there
Whenever you want me, I'll be there
Whenever you need me, I'll be there
I'll be around...yeah
Whenever you call me, I'll be there
Whenever you want me, I'll be there
Even if I have to call, I'll be there
I'll be around
Just call me on the phone, I'll be there
I'll never leave you alone, I'll be there
Just call out my name, I know I know you know
I'll be around
I'll be standin' in a coffin, I'll be there
I'll be a rippin' it up, I'll be there
I'll be calling out your name to let you know,
I'll be around.

"I've Got To Use My Imagination"

"I've Got To Use My Imagination"


I've really got to use my imagination
To think of good reasons
To keep on keepin' on

Got to make the best of a bad situation
Ever since that day
I woke up and found
That you were gone

Darkness all around me
Blackin’ out the sun
Old friends call me
But I just don't feel like talkin’ to anyone

Emptiness has found me
And it just won't let me go
I go right on livin'
But why I just don't know

Staring down reality
Don't do me no good
'Cause our misunderstanding
Is too well understood

Such a sad, sad season
When a good love dies.
Not a day goes by
When I don’t realize

I've really got to use my imagination
To think of good reasons
To keep on keepin' on

I got to make the best of a bad situation
Ever since that day
I woke up and found
That you were gone

"If I Was Your Man"

"If I Was Your Man"


Floating above you
beyond the naked eye
Blue dreams about you
keep playing in my mind
Oh if I was
Oh if I was your man
Oh if I was
Oh if I was your man
I'm just a satellite
so lazy in the breeze
Ready to fly away, I need your gravity
When I run down the path
the turns look all the same
And if I lose my way
your mind will call my name
Oh if I was
Oh if I was your man
Oh if I was
Oh if I was your man
Let's go outside to a dark place
Where the kitty cat hides
put on your fake wings
give the moon a ride
When you're lonely for the angel inside
3:30 in the morning is too easy for you
But when it comes without a warning
What are you gonna do this time? You gonna do this time?
Floating above you
beyond the naked eye
Blue dreams about you
comes rushing through my mind
Branded with thoughts of you
They're tattooed on my sou;
Why don't they seem to fade
Is what I'll never know
Oh if I was
Oh if I was your man
Oh if I was
Oh if I was your man
Oh if I was
Oh if I was your man

"Keep It Underground"

"Keep It Underground"


In my room with your friends,
In that place sais you go undone
If no one's here to hear it does a kiss really make a sound
If you want me to me happy baby
You've got to keep it under, you've got to keep it underground
You got to keep it underground

I come home last night I can tell you got something to say
Got someone that know what you do
When I'm gone away
If you want me to me happy baby
You've got to keep it under, you've got to keep it underground
You got to keep it underground

Yeah, I'm at a day when my word is not allowed with you
Can't remember a day I wouldn't do anything for you
Ain't right in know, think you carry these blues around
But I need it tonight and I'm carry out for you
I'm carry out for you

And with your friends do you find someone just like me?
Can you heard me enough to bring back how we use to be
If you want me to me happy baby
You've got to keep it under, you've got to keep it underground
You got to keep it underground
Keep it underground, keep it underground,
Underground
Keep it underground, keep it underground,
Keep it underground, keep it underground,

"Kiss And Say Goodbye"


I had to meet you here today
There's just so many things to say
Please don't stop me till I'm through
This is something I hate to do
We been meeting here so long
I guess what we've done, oh was wrong
Please darlin' don't you cry
Let's just kiss and say goodbye

It's gonna hurt me I can't lie
Baby I'll need, I'll need another guy
Understand me, won't you try, try, try, try, try
Let's just kiss and say goodbye
We been meeting here so long

"Kitten's Got Claws"

"Kitten's Got Claws"


I want every tear back that I cried
I want every lie back that I lied
I want every day I gave to you
I want back a heart that's clean and new
Is this your hand?
Is this your skin?
Where do you end and I begin?
Is this your breath inside my lungs?
I do not know what I've become
I want every tear back
That I cried
Any love is good love so they say
And you'd be a fool to walk away
I recall a friend I used to know
Who are you and where did that man go?
Do I repeat the words you said?
Is this your voice inside my head?
Where is the mind that was so strong?
I do not know where I belong
I want every tear back
That I cried
I'm about to break
I'm about to break this chain
Will I ever love
Will I ever love again?
Can it fall away
Can it fall away like rain?
I'm about to break
I'm about to break this chain
Is this your hand?
Is this your skin?
Where do you end and I begin?
Is this your breath that fills my lungs?
I do not know what I've become
I want every tear back
That I cried
I'm about to break
I'm about to break this chain
Will I ever love
Will I ever love again?
Can it fall away
Can it fall away like rain?
I'm about to break
I'm about to break this chain

"Ladder"

"Ladder"


Today and everyday, today and everyday
Today and everyday, today and everyday

I'm standin' here in your closet
Unbuttonin' all your clothes
I sleep in your bed tonight
But I never find you home
You're givin' me crooked answers
I'm crackin' your little code
I'm learnin' another language
So full it's about to explode

You gave me a ladder now
I surely believe I'll climb
It don't even matter now
I'm willing to take my time

I'm gonna love you anyway,
Today and every day, today and everyday
I'm gonna love you anyway,
Today and every day, today and everyday

I wanted it to be easy
I know that I'll make you tired
Some tell me you're slow and lazy
Some tell me you're so inspired
You wanted a long flirtation
Your plane doesn't ever land
Some things I don't want to look at
I don't want to understand

You gave me a ladder now
I surely believe I'll climb
It don't even matter now
I'm willing to take my time

I'm gonna love you anyway,
Today and every day, today and everyday
I'm gonna love you anyway,
Today and every day, today and everyday

Today and everyday...
