"Running Out Of Time"

"Running Out Of Time"


Can you see me rising since your
Disappearance safe to say
That I've regained myself
Sleeping like a baby still I wonder maybe
If we'll ever
Meet up somewhere else
I'm bouncing you a message
Off the night sky
You'll get it in a while
How you walk around with all that
Contempt inside you I'm
Amazed that you can stand up straight
Turned up the volume when you heard
Me saying to you how
Does somebody switch from love to hate
I'm bouncing you a message
Off the night sky
You'll get it in a while
I know you feel it
It's right behind you
It's getting closer
You said yourself
You're running out of time
If I ever sit to write the story
I'll say something nice
About you when you're dead
Moving like the ocean
Safe inside the notion that I can
Read it layin' in my bed
I'm bouncing you a message
Off the night sky
You'll get it in a while
I know you feel it
It's right behind you
It's getting closer
You said yourself
You're running out of time
Yes it's complicated if the feelings faded
Still it's better
To have no regrets
When you think about me if you think
About me please
Remember that I've done my best
Can you see me rising since your
Disappearance,safe to say
That I've regained myself
Crawling like a baby.
Still I wonder maybe if we'll ever
Meet up somewhere else cause...
I know you feel it
It's right behind you
It's getting closer
You said yourself
You're running out of time

"Safety In Numbers"

"Safety In Numbers"


There is safety in numbers
and people and thins and in big wads of money
and great big platinum rings
And no one will ever get near me again
There is safety in numbers
in numbers my friend
There are people who watch you in your windows at night
and they follow your movements in the cold fluorescent light
They wait for their moment, they'll get you in the end
There is safety in numbers, in numbers my friend
I was just like you before
You want somebody to love
Since that day I learned the score
I know how to rise above
There is shelter in power
and promises of pain and in lovers and lawyers
and dogs pulling at the chain
And no one will ever get near me again
There is safety in numbers,
in numbers my friend
You will find me well protected
when you come around today
So remember what
I told you and continue on your way
Cause no one will ever
get near me again
There is safety in numbers, in numbers my friend

"Same Love That Made Me Laugh"

"Same Love That Made Me Laugh"


Your love is like a chunk of gold
Hard to gain, and hard to hold

Like a rose that's soft to touch
Love has thorns, that can hurts so much

Well and Why?
Must the same love that made me laugh have that make me cry?

Well, you think of love as sitting on a mountain
Think of it as being a great big rock
Won't you think before you started to roll it down
Because once you start it, you can't make it stop

I've given all I have to give
And if you don't want me
I don't want to live

Oh, you think of love as sitting on a mountain
Think of it as being a great big rock
Won't you think before you started to roll it down
Because once you start it, you can't make it stop

I've given all I have to give
And if you don't want me
I don't want to live

Well and Why?
Must the same love that made me laugh have that make me cry?

Oh now
Must the same love that made me laugh why wanna make me cry?

Ohhh why wanna make me cry?
Tell me now

"Sara Smile"
(originally by Hall & Oates)

"Sara Smile"
(originally by Hall & Oates)



Baby hair with a woman’s eyes
I can feel you watching in the night
All alone with me and were waiting for the sunlight
When I feel cold you warm me
When I feel I cant go on you come and hold me
It's you... and me forever

Sara smile
Wont you smile a while for me, Sara

If you feel like leaving you know you can go
But why don't you stay until tomorrow?
And if you want to be free, all you have to do is say so
When you feel cold, I'll warm you
And when you feel you cant go on, I'll come and hold you
It's you... and me forever

Sara smile
Wont you smile a while for me, Sara

Sara smile
Wont you smile a while for me, Sara

"Secret Room"

"Secret Room"


Secret room inside my mind
And the movies that I see
When I'm lyin' in your arms
When you're making love to me

Secret faces on the ceiling
Secret kisses raining down
Fingers tangle in my hair
Secret moans and stabs of sound

Oh, my darlin'
Do you hear me?
I am waiting to be found
Like the diamond waits for the miner
Like the gold inside the ground

Like a seven story falling
Like a wound without a knife
Every breath a road to wonder
Secret bridge to secret life

Come on darlin'
Are you with me?
Tell me I'm not all alone
Do I have you? Are you near me?
Do you have secrets of your own?

Secret room inside my mind
And the movies that I see
When I'm lyin' in your arms
When you're making love to me

"Shake The Devil"

"Shake The Devil"


Guess I had to find out the hard way
The things that I have come here to learn
Fire of this pleasure, it can warm me
But in the end it only burns
He could put me high on a pedestal
He could rob me of my shame
He could hold me down under water
Till I could not remember my own name

In my mind, I see the house I'm buildin'
In my hands, the hammer and the nail
Gonna send my wishes up to Glory
Gonna shake that devil off my trail

In my time I've done some meanness
Brought the ones I love so much pain
Pride, it was eatin' all my heart away
My soul it was rustin' in the rain
And all these sins I am confessin'
They still come knockin' on my door
But I know better than to answer
I tell them that girl don't live here anymore

In my mind, I see the house I'm buildin'
In my hands, the hammer and the nail
Gonna send my wishes up to Glory
Gonna shake that devil off my trail

Every livin' thing is callin' out to me
The leaves on the trees wave me on
Got a wind to lift me when I'm fallin'
Got a road to put my feet upon

In my mind, I see the house I'm buildin'
In my hands, the hammer and the nail
Gonna send my wishes up to Glory
Gonna shake that devil off my trail

In my mind, I see the house I'm buildin'
In my hands, the hammer and the nail
Gonna send my wishes up to Glory
Gonna shake that devil off my trail

Gonna shake that devil off my trail
Gonna shake that devil off my trail

"Shake Your Hips"

"Shake Your Hips"


Wanna tell you bout a dance it's been going around
Everybody doing it from grownups down
Ain't gotta move your head ain't gotta move your hands
Ain't gotta move your lips just move your hips
Do the hips shake baby

Shake your hips baby
Shake your hips baby

If you don't know don't be afraid
Just listen to me do what I see
Don't you move your hip don't you move your hands
Don't you move your lips just move your hips
Do the hips shake baby

Shake your hips baby
Shake your hips baby

Ain't that easy now say is easy now
Met a little girl in the country town
She said what do you know about...
She didn't move her head didn't move her hands
Didn't move her lips just move her hips
Do the hips shake baby
Do the hips shake baby
Shake your hips baby
Shake your hips baby
Do the hips shake baby
Do the hips shake baby
Shake your hips baby
Shake your hips baby
Ain't that easy now

"Shoorah! Shoorah!"

"Shoorah! Shoorah!"


You got to wake up early in the morning
You got to stay up all night long
Still won't catch up 'cause I got the warnin'
I got the feelin' you wanna do me wrong
Like a ball of lightning and the ball of heat
You wanna knock me right off my feet
But I recognise through the eyes of a fool
That you got the power to make your own rules
Shoorah, Shoorah
Hey, I can feel you comin'
Shoorah, Shoorah
Oh but you won't catch me
Shoorah, Shoorah
Hey, I can hear you hummin'
Shoorah, Shoorah

I know you're trying to get me upset
I can feel you groovin', thinkin' you done found me
I'm here to tell you, you ain't got me yet
Shoorah, Shoorah
Hey, I can feel you comin'
Shoorah, Shoorah
Oh but you won't catch me
Shoorah, Shoorah
Hey, I can hear you hummin'
Shoorah, Shoorah
oh but you won't catch me
I checked you out from the corner of my eye
You and the devil walkin' side by side

And I can't change how I feel about it
Shoorah, Shoorah
Yeah, I can feel you comin'
Shoorah, Shoorah

"Smiling Faces Sometimes"
(originally by The Temptations)

"Smiling Faces Sometimes"
(originally by The Temptations)



Smiling faces sometimes pretend to be your friend
Smiling faces show no traces of the evil that lurks within
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes
They don't tell the truth, huh
Smiling faces, smiling faces
Tell lies and I got proof

The truth is in the eyes
Cause the eyes don't lie, amen
Remember a smile is just
A frown turned upside down
My friend let me tell you
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes
They don't tell the truth, huh
Smiling faces, smiling faces
Tell lies and I got proof
Beware, beware of the handshake
That hides the snake
I'm telling you beware
Beware of the pat on the back
It just might hold you back
Jealousy (Jealousy)
Misery (Misery)
Envy

I tell you, you can't see behind smiling faces
Smiling faces sometimes they don't tell the truth
Smiling faces, smiling faces
Tell lies and I got proof
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes
They don't tell the truth
Smiling faces, smiling faces
Tell lies and I got proof
(Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes) [2x]
I'm telling you beware, beware of the handshake
That hides the snake

Listen to me now, beware
Beware of that pat on the back
It just might hold you back
Smiling faces, smiling faces sometimes
They don't tell the truth
Smiling faces, smiling faces
Tell lies and I got proof

Your enemy won't do you no harm
Cause you'll know where he's coming from
Don't let the handshake and the smile fool ya
Take my advice I'm only try' to school ya

"Son Of A Preacher Man"

"Son Of A Preacher Man"


Billy-Ray was a Preacher's son
And when his daddy would visit he'd come along
When they gathered round and started talking
That's when Billy would take me walking
Through the back yard we'd go walking
Then he'd look into my eyes
Lord knows to my suprise

[Chorus:]
The only boy who could ever reach me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever teach me
Was the son of a preacher man
He was, yes he was, oh yes he was

Being good isn't always easy
No matter how hard I tried
When he started sweet talking to me
He'd come and tell me everything is alright
He'd kiss and tell me everything is alright
Can I get away again tonight

[Chorus]

How well I remember
The look that was in his eyes
Stealing kisses from me on the sly
Taking time to make time
Telling me that he's all mine
Learning from each others knowing
Looking to see how much we'd grown

The only boy who could ever move me
Was the son of a preacher man
The only boy who could ever groove me
Was the son of a preacher man
He was, yes he was, oh yes he was
