"Kiss Me"

"Kiss Me"


Baby what you doin' tonight?
I'll go anywhere that you want to go
Jump into my car go down to that bar
Pretend I'm someone that you don't know

I'll ask you if you would like to dance
Slip myself up close to your thighs
You can buy me a drink, we'll make everyone think
That love is so damned perfect tonight

Oh kiss me, kiss me, kiss everything away
Oh honey now kiss me, kiss me, kiss me.
Come out and play

A woman can go crazy I know, working all day in and day out
Come on, we'll let off some steam, create a scene
Nothing like a good scream and shout

Oh kiss me, kiss me, kiss everything away
Oh honey now kiss me, kiss me,
Kiss me - come out and play

Your kiss is like medicine - a prescription to exstacy
And your mind is my playground - look at what I've found
Lying next to me

Aahhh

Baby what you doin' tonight? I'll be anyone you want me to be
Just a girl in a bar, your personal super star
I just want ya, I want ya, I want ya, I want you to

Kiss me, kiss me, kiss everything away
Oh honey now kiss me, kiss me, kiss me.
Come out and play

Kiss me, kiss me, kiss me.
Come out and play
Come out and play
Come out and play

"Let Me Go"

"Let Me Go"


Am I the snake inside your garden
The sugar in your tea
The knock upon your back door
The twist that turns your key
Am I the sweat you feel on your head
The shadow on your face
The tune inside your head that put you here in the first place
Well I don't want to be
I don't want to be
I don't want to be your sweet temptation
I don't want to be your new sensation
It's just a delicate distraction
With just a hint of satisfaction
Look me in the eye and let me know
If you can't love me that let me go
Let me go
Let me go

Do you try to stay suspended
In your deepest fantasy
After night has ended
The scent of mystery
The power of suggestion
Tangles up your soul
A neutral state between love and hate
Is bound to take its toll
Well I don't think you know
I don't think you know
I don't think you know about the screaming
You don't understand the meaning
You could trade it in for laughter
To keep your happy ever after
Look me in the eye and let me know
If you can't love me then let me go
Let me go
Let me go

Baby in your ivory tower
Do you sleep tight dream fight
Baby does it wet your appetite
Maybe in your darkest hour
Am I the keeper of your beast
Well I don't want to be
I don't want to be
So let me go
Let me go

"Light A Light"

"Light A Light"


'Tis the season of change
The seasons are the contrast
The key to life and how it's done
It's time to let go of all our past
And let go of what's to come

Write down your excuses
And turn them into dust
Plant the seeds of change
Water it with trust

And light a light tonight we light a light
We light a light tonight we light a light
I know that this time is ending
And everyone is here
We light a light, a light this year
'Tis the season of change

What do we have
What do we have not
What do we need that isn't here
This mindless numb consuming
Is driven by a subtle fear

It's time we stop believing
That there will not be enough
I know they said it on the TV
So turn it off
Break the chains
Step outside and feel the love

And light a light tonight we light a light
We light a light tonight we light a light
I know that this time is ending
And everyone is here
We light a light, a light this year
'Tis the season of change

We will change
We shall change
We must change

Heaven is inside it's all around
Not just above
Choose only love
Heaven is inside it's all around
Not just above
I choose only love

Choose only love
Choose only love
Choose only love
Choose only love

And light a light tonight we light a light
We light a light tonight we light a light
I know that this time is ending
And everyone is here
We light a light, a light this year
'Tis the season of change

"Like The Way I Do"

"Like The Way I Do"


Is it so hard to satisfy your senses
You found out to love me you have to climb some fences
Scratching and crawling along the floor to touch you
And just when it feels right you say you found someone else to hold you
Does she like i do

Tell me does she love you like the way I love you
Does she stimulate you attract and captivate you
Tell me does she miss you existing just to kiss you
Like the way I do
Tell me does she want you infatuate and haunt you
Does she know just how to shock and electrify and rock you
Does she inject you seduce you and affect you
Like the way I do

Can I survive all the implications
Even if I tried could you be less than an addiction
Don't you think I know there's so many others
Who would beg steal and lie fight kill and die
Just to hold you hold you like I do

Tell me does she love you like the way I love you
Does she stimulate you attract and captivate you
Tell me does she miss you existing just to kiss you
Like the way I do
Tell me does she want you infatuate and haunt you
Does she know just how to shock and electrify and rock you
Does she inject you seduce you and affect you
Like the way I do

Nobody loves you like the way I do
Nobody wants you like the way I do
Nobody needs you like the way I do
Nobody aches nobody aches just to hold you
Like the way I do

Tell me does she love you like the way I love you
Does she stimulate you attract and captivate you
Tell me does she miss you existing just to kiss you
Like the way I do
Tell me does she want you infatuate and haunt you
Does she know just how to shock and electrify and rock you
Does she inject you seduce you and affect you
Like the way I do

"Lover Please"

"Lover Please"


A shot in the dark I woke up to find
You had broke all the rules
And you changed your mind
Didn't I love you good
Didn't I love you right
Then tell me where are you going
Dressed to kill tonight
Oh this one's gonna hurt like hell

Answer my prayer and answer the phone
Think twice about it honey
Turn around and come on home
Lover stop lover don't
Lover stop
Lover lover please

It's the same old tune
I have sung before
It's the same old game
It's just a different score
If there was just one thing
I could call my own
It would be your love
That's sinking like a stone
Oh this one's gonna hurt like hell

And they hold you like I want to
And they give you what I want to
And they take it like I want to
And they make it and they break it
Why must you reject me
Why can't you protect me

"Lucky"

"Lucky"


I want to see how lucky Lucky can be

I saw you through my blind intoxication
My shock induced insane self medication
You looked at me and smiled
Said get ready to get wild
Sugar you just need a brief vacation

[Chorus:]
I want to see how lucky Lucky can be
I want to ride with my Angel and live shockingly
I want to drive to the edge and into the sea
I want to see how lucky Lucky can be

I was dried up I was starving I was mangled
I looked like hell twisted up and tangled
You whispered in my ear
The ghosts are gone it's clear
For too long you've been tied up you've been strangled

[Chorus]

I don't want to ride on the shotgun side
Don't want to be a quaint observer on this super sonic ride
Double down split the aces to the races
I feel lucky tonight

[Solo]

[Chorus]

"Mama I'm Strange"

"Mama I'm Strange"


What's this little lie
They keep on telling me
It's just another high
They keep on selling me
I was only five
They fed me so much jive
They said just have a ball Just be a Barbie doll
They churned and burned me out
Until they turned me out
Over and over again

Mama I'm strange
The thoughts and the wants are the locks
On the back of my brain
I'm descending pretending I'm blending
I'm going insane
And they want me to change
Mama I'm strange

I'm on a shaky wall
I'm tripping down the hall
And all the king's men can't
Can't sew me up again
I've got a leaky head
Don't know the full extent
I'm drowning in my bed
I'm just an accident
They chewed and blew me out
Until they threw me out
Over and over again

If I could tranquilize
I might just vaporize
They couldn't supervise
They couldn't criticize
I have no evidence
I have no reverence
It makes no difference
I have no innocence

Help me mama help me now

"Map Of The Stars"

"Map Of The Stars"


All the people in your hometown
When you were just a teen
Said that you were pretty
Like in the magazine
so you left your hometown
To try out for the part
Of everybody's pretty little angel
With a pretty little heart

You studied hard
The map of the stars
Oh because you wanted
Yeah, you really wanted
Every night you wanted to be
One of the little angels
That fly between the stars
One of the little angels
In a pretty little car

So you eat a little less
And you smoke a little more
Waiting in the lines
For them to open up the door
For all the little angels

So you got yourself an agent
And you made a little deal
They got you on the TV
And everyone agreed
You had the charm and the appeal
So you bought yourself a house in the Hollywood Hills
You bought yourself a tan
Fixed your nose and hair
Learned how not to care
Got a pretty little man

You landed hard
On the map of the stars
Now everybody wants you
Oh they really want you
Every night they want you to be
One of the little angels
That fly between the stars
One of the little angels
In a pretty little car
So you eat a little less
And you drink a little more
Waiting in your room
For them to open up the door
For all the little angels

Now you drink a little more
Your family's talking to the press
And the movie didn't score
So you eat a little less
Just a little bit less

Well, the people on the street now
Gettin' kind of mean
They read about your break-up
In the magazine
And somewhere in your hometown
A girl tries out her best
Maybe she'll go far
She wants to be a star
So she eats a little less

All the little angels
All the little angels
All the little angels
All the little angels

"Meet Me In The Back"

"Meet Me In The Back"


Meet me in the back
Don't make me wait too long
I could change my mind
And tell you that it's wrong
So meet me in the back
Where the light don't shine
First show me yours
Maybe I'll show you mine

My hands are shaking
My heart is beating fast
Is love worth making
When it can never last

Meet me in the back
Don't make me wait too long
I could change my mind
And tell you that it's wrong
So meet me in the back
Where the light don't shine
First show me yours
Maybe I'll show you mine

I'm gonna give directions
I'm gonna take it slow
But if I don't get protection
I will just say no

Meet me in the back
Don't make me wait too long
I could change my mind
And tell you that it's wrong
So meet me in the back
Where the light don't shine
First show me yours
Maybe I'll show you mine

I can hear the music
Pounding through the walls
And to the beat of dancing
I will give you all

Meet me in the back
Don't make me wait too long
I could change my mind
And tell you that it's wrong
So meet me in the back
Where the light don't shine
First show me yours
Maybe I'll show you mine

"Meet Me In The Dark"

"Meet Me In The Dark"


Keep your eyes down, keep your head lowered
Keep to your self dear, do not tell a soul
You know it's wrong what they've been sayin'
And you knew all along that I would have to go

Find the place where light shines on my reflection
A place where I can stand upon my own
Not down on my knees
Until then please

[Chorus:]
Meet me in the dark
Meet me in the shadows
Past the old graveyard
On Eisenhower road
Meet me where the storms
Blow out on their own dear
Meet me in the dark
Never let me go

I know everyone has their unspoken fear
That eats away their senses and their humanity
They carry all their secrets every night down to the river
And they try so hard to drown them
They wont do that to me

Cause I'm working hard saving all my money
And the tips in this jar will by a brand new set of wings
For my mercury
Until then please

[Chorus]

I could never hide this little light of mine
If God made a mistake then I should die before I wake
Maybe it's my fate to swim against this tide
Swallowing my pride

Keep your eyes down; say that you don't know me
For I could not survive if they took you away

[Chorus]
