"Let's Just Get Naked"

"Let's Just Get Naked"


"I know what you're hiding from me
You know what I'm hiding from you
I know that you hurt me real bad
You know that I hurt you bad, too
Let's just get naked, just for a laugh
Let's just get naked
It's a trip and a half
Here comes that story again, all about that television show
Here comes my typical response
Won't you tell me something I don't know?
And I'm pissed off about being the cops and
you're pissed off about being the maid
And how long 'til they shut off the phone or
'til the next time we get laid?
Let's just get naked, just for a laugh
Let's just get naked
It's a trip and a half, trip and a half
We've been together so long
I hope it wasn't just the drugs
What happened to the energy we had,
the morning glories and the rodeo hugs
And I know you like the back of my hand
with a stamp that says I paid to get in.
And yes I am your television show
And you're the nicest place I've ever been
Let's just get naked, just for a laugh
Let's just get naked
It wouldn't be so bad
Let's just get naked, just for a laugh
Let's just get naked
It's a trip and a half, trip and a half
Let's just get naked, just for a laugh"

"Light Of The World"

"Light Of The World"


Ooh...
Just as long as I'm in this world
I'll be, I'll be a light of this
Just as long as I'm in this world
I'll be, I'll be a light of this
Just as long as I'm in this world
I'll be, I'll be a light of this
Just as long as I'm in this world
I'll be, I'll be a light of this world
Ooh...
sometimes I feel this earth is not my home
And everything I know is an illusion
So many dreams have been broken and it seems
So much time is wasted in confusion
But I don't know if pain makes me stronger
But if you're beside me tonight
Just as long as I'm in this world
I'll be, I'll be a light of this
Just as long as I'm in this world
I'll be, I'll be a light of this
Just as long as I'm in this world
I'll be, I'll be a light of this
Just as long as I'm in this world
I'll be, I'll be a light of this world
Ooh...
Some that I love I will never see again
Never see again in this world
The one I was I will never be again
No use to pretend that I'm the same girl
But I won't wait for you to believe me
And if time will give me today
I won't wait for heaven to receive me
I will pray, I will say
Just as long as I'm in this world
I'll be, I'll be a light of this
Just as long as I'm in this world
I'll be, I'll be a light of this
Just as long as I'm in this world
I'll be, I'll be a light of this
Just as long as I'm in this world
I'll be, I'll be a light of this world
Ooh...

"Little Wild One"

"Little Wild One"


Let's keep it simple, just for fun
Don't speak of this to anyone
I've seen the way you look in my eyes
I know that you're ready to fly
I put my cards out on the table
You know I'm willing, I know you're able
Stars are out, the night is young
Little wild one

I need you like the air that I breathe
I need you like the sky and the trees
I need you like you wouldn't believe
I need you like the sun
Little wild one

I've thrown away all my defenses
No way of knowing what the end is
I'll make it simple, I'll take it slow
It's there if you're ready to go
If you are hurting I wanna heal it
I'll be your heaven, oh can't you feel it
The fire's burning, the time has come
Little wild one

I need you like the air that I breathe
I need you like the sky and the trees
I need you like you wouldn't believe
I need you like the sun
Little wild one

I need you like the heavens above
I need you like the one that I love
For all you are and all you'll become
I love you like the sun
Little wild one
Little wild one

"Love And Hate"

"Love And Hate"


Love and hate
Their turns, they wait
When next I come to Orchard Street
I'll use my key
I'll enter soft on stocking feet to see
If you have told the truth to me

Hate and love
They push, they shove
They use my life just like a toy
They take my mind
They must enjoy their puppet on a wire
Until I'm nothing but desire

Love and hate
We meet, we mate
We give ourselves to fantasies
Of who we wish our loves could be
And sometimes in the dark
We accidentally find a heart

"Love Is Alive"

"Love Is Alive"


Well I think it's time to get ready
to realize just what I have found
I have been only half of what I am
it's all clear to me now
[Chorus:]
My heart is on fire
My soul's like a wheel that's turning
My love is alive
My love is alive
There's something inside
that's making me crazy
I'll try to keep it together
But what I say may not happen the same way
now could mean forever
[Chorus:]
My heart is on fire
My soul's like a wheel that's turning
My love is alive
My love is alive
Is there a movie inside my mind
reflecting the love that you shine on me
But hold on how to that feeling
Let it go, let it grow
My heart is on fire
My soul's like a wheel that's turning
My love is alive
My love is alive

"Love's In Need Of Love Today"
(originally by Stevie Wonder)



Good morn or evening friends
Here's your friendly announcer
I have serious news to pass on to every-body
What I'm about to say
Could mean the world's disaster
Could change your joy and laughter to tears and pain
It's that love's in need of love today
Don't delay, send yours in right away
Hate's goin' round breaking many hearts
Stop it please before it's gone too far
The force of evil plans
To make you its possession
And it will if we let it
Destroy everybody
We all must take
Precautionary measures
If love and peace you treasure
Then you'll hear me when I say
Oh that love's in need of love today
Love's in need of love today
Don't delay Don't delay
Send yours in right away, right away
Hate's goin' round breaking many hearts
Stop it please before it's gone too far
Gone too far
People you know that
Love's in need of love today
Love's in need of love today
Don't delay send yours in right away
You know that hate's, hate's goin' round
Breaking many hearts
Stop, stop it please before it's gone too far
It's up to you cause
Love's in need of love today
Don't delay send yours in right away
You know that hate's, hate's goin' round
Breaking, hate's tried to break my heart many times
Don't you've got to stop it please
Before before before it's gone too far
Love's in need of love love today
Don't delay send yours in right away
You know that hate's goin' around
And it tried to break up many hearts
You've got to
I've got to
They've got to stop it before it's gone too far
Love's love's in need of love
Did you ever think that love would be in need of love today
Don't delay
Hate's goin' round
Bring it down a little love is very peaceful
So bring it down a little
Just give the world LOVE

"Lumina"

"Lumina"


[Chorus:]
Lumina
Come and wrap around me
Lumina
Take me through the snow
Eve take a train, Eve took a train
Went to see her man
Melting inside, melting away
Like butter in the pan
[Chorus]
Eve took a fruit, Eve bit the fruit
Just ran down her chin
Babies will put things in their mouths
Never heard of sin
Lumina
Open like the sea
Lumina
Sing me in the dark
Eve had to ask, Eve had to ask
What is wrong with this?
Here is the place, now is the time
Let's invent the kiss
Lumina
Come and wrap around me
Lumina
Come and wrap around me
Come and wrap around me [x3]

"Make You Feel My Love"
(originally by Bob Dylan)

"Make You Feel My Love"
(originally by Bob Dylan)



When the rain is blowing in your face
And the whole world is on your case
I could offer you a warm embrace
To make you feel my love
When evening shadows and the stars appear
And there's is no one to dry your tears
I could hold you for a million years
To make you feel my love
I know you haven't made your mind up yet
But I would never do you wrong
I've known it from the moment that we met
No doubt in my mind where you belong
I'd go hungry, I'd go black and blue
I'd go crawling down the avenue
No there's nothing that I wouldn't do
To make you feel my love
The storms are raging on the rolling sea
And on the highway of regret
The winds of change are blowing wild and free
You ain't seen nothin' like me yet
I could make you happy
Make your dreams come true
There is nothing that I wouldn't do
Go to the ends of the earth for you
To make you feel my love

"Man In The Long Black Coat"

"Man In The Long Black Coat"


Crickets are chirpin' the water is high
There's a soft cotton dress on the line hangin' dry
Window's wide open African trees
Bent over backwards in a hurricane breeze
Not a word, a goodbye, not even a note
She's gone with the man in the long black coat
Somebody seem him hangin' around
At the old dance hall on the outskirts of town
He looked into her eyes when she stopped him to ask
If he wanted to dance he had a face like a mask
Somebody said, from the Bible he quote
There was dust on the man in the long black coat
Preacher was talkin' there's a sermon he gave
He said every man's conscience is vile and depraved
You cannot depend on it to be your guide
When it's you who must keep it satisfied
It ain't easy to swallow, it sticks in the throat
She give her heart to the man in the long black coat
One, two...
There are no mistakes in life some people say
It's true sometimes you can see it that way
People don't live or die, people just float
She give her heart to the man in the long black coat
There's smoke on the water, it's been there since June
Tree trunks uprooted in the high crescent moon
Hear the pulse and vibrations and the rumblin' force
Somebody's out there beating on a dead horse
She never said nothin', there was nothin' she wrote
She's gone with the man in the long black coat
She's gone with the man in the long black coat
She's gone
She's gone
Gone with the man in the long black coat
Gone with the man in the long black coat

"Masters Of War"
(originally by Bob Dylan)

"Masters Of War"
(originally by Bob Dylan)



Come you masters of war
You that build all the guns
You that build the death planes
You that build all the bombs
You that hide behind walls
You that hide behind desks
I just want you to know
I can see through your masks
You that never done nothing
But build to destroy
You play with my world
Like it's your little toy
You put a gun in my hand
And you hide from my eyes
Then you turn and run farther
While the fast bullets fly
Like Judas of old
You lie and deceive
World war can be won
You want me to believe
But I see through your eyes
And I see through your brain
Like I see through the water
That runs down my drain
You fasten all the triggers
For the others to fire
Then you sit back and watch
When the death count gets higher
You hide in your mansion
While young people's blood
Flows out of their bodies
And is buried in the mud
You've thrown the worst fear
That can ever be hurled
The fear to bring children
Into the world
For threatening my babies
Unborn and unnamed
Ah, ain't worth the blood
That runs in your veins
How much do I know
To talk out of turn
You might say that I'm young
You might say I'm unlearned
But there's one thing I know
Though I'm younger than you
Even Jesus would never
Forgive what you do
Let me ask you one question
Is your money that good?
Will it buy you forgiveness?
Do you think that it could?
I think you will find
When your death takes its toll
All the money you made
Will never buy back your soul
When day you will die
And your death may come soon
I'll follow your casket
In the pale afternoon
And I'll watch while you're lowered
Down to your deathbed
I'll stand over your grave
'Till I'm sure that you're dead
