"Twiddly Dee"

"Twiddly Dee"


Twiddly dee fe fi fo fum
There's a giant sleeping and his pants are undone
He shows no pity for anyone
He's sure to be killed before the morning comes
Twiddle my fingers and I twiddle my thumb
'Cause I ain't gonna quit 'til my work is all done
I'm a high society skid row bum
Well on my way to Kingdom Come
I twiddle in the middle of the moon and sun
I'm wishing and dreaming I'm a special someone
Don't leave my load on anyone
It's way too high and it weighs a ton
Do re mi fe fi fo fum
I'm a slave to the music of a father and son
I never force it on anyone
Can't keep it a secret so I keep it on the run
They may say what they say about the way that we stay
They may do what they do about the things that we do
Ain't worried about the dumb things I done
Ain't worried about the dumb things to come
Sometimes I wanna be friends with everyone
My friends tell me it can't be done
And some days I feel I don't know anyone
Now what goes up doesn't always come down
You'll never believe the things I've found
Amazing what you learn just hanging around
Can't put a square peg in a hole that's round
They may say what they say about the way that we stay
They may do what they do about the things that we do
If we win or if we lose it's a pleasure to play
Work all night and I sleep all day
Just because I'm lucky I can live my own way

"Veil Of Tears"

"Veil Of Tears"


Well, a fascinating sensation, no I can't even feel it
I just had to let you know I can't conceal it
I was recently considering taking the pain with the pleasure
Just to find my way to the bottom of this, I'll have to dig forever

And it's no small measure
Lift up your veil of tears

Don't be disappointed child, if your prayers go unanswered
We are not responsible for these sad circumstances
Secret agents and freedom fighters on those impossible missions
Better put your toys and games away, maybe take the kids out fishing

For a family treasure
In your early years
Behind your veil of tears

So frustrated
Get up anyway
So complicated

Changes every day

So the darkness fades
And the light will come shining through

I heard the eyes that look to a better world
always hide beneath the veil of tears
And you hide no more
Lift up your veil of tears
Hide no more
Behind your veil of tears

Now the executioner must be executed
No I think we'll set him free instead, watch him run

And you hide no more
Lift up your veil of tears
You hide no more

"Voodoo Doll"

"Voodoo Doll"


I'm hung up on a wire so thin,
tearing out what's been trapped in
My puppet strings, been pulled too tight
I can see the real me's going to be a bloody fight
I'm your Voodoo doll don't you hear my call

Trying so hard to forget, got my bottles, got my pills, got my TV set
I'm imprisoned by my passion, i;m a slave to my trade
How can you be so possessed by the profit that's been made

I live for love where love's insane, I need to numb to ease the pain
When the end begins again, needles, needles, I'm sticking them in
I'm your Voodoo doll, heed my call

I'm strung out on pretty, pretty girls, I forgot about the rest of the world
Pots and pans and good free sex my wife she is the best
If I get bored of her I'll have a family and get into incest

I live for love where love's insane, I need to numb to ease the pain
When the end begins again, needles, needles, I'm sticking them in

Think your thoughts, confirm your petty doubts,
The spell is cast in broken glass your time is running out
You're just a prisoner, sweet prisoner, you're just imprisoned by your own devices
Come on out and bleed some blood and solve this f*cking crisis

I live for love where love's insane, I need to numb to ease the pain
When the end begins again, needles, needles, I'm sticking them in
Voodoo doll, don't you hear my call

The big old world doesn't seem so f*cked up when I'm f*cked up too
Voodoo doll, don't you hear my call

"Walking"

"Walking"


The sun's creeping up and stomping on my dreams
Works all right, party's fine, but sleeping is my scene

The traffic inside your head is tearing you apart
Stick your fingers down my throat and grab on to my heart

And I'm walking a little closer
Gonna rise up, take you away,
Sunday's just another day

Her eyes shine like oceans, her skin is like the earth
Suck the life out of her, you better take her for what she's worth

No free ride, this bus is going charter
So get up off you ass and try a little harder, try a little harder

Walkin' a little closer

"We 3"

"We 3"


I was tapping my foot on a Friday night
To my favorite band I was pushed aside
I said "hey don't push me no one pushes me"
When I was face to face with the woman I admired
And she gave me this look I could not believe
And the cold stare remained; I wanted to leave

See, I do believe anger is offset by sorrow
But you destroy today you might regret tomorrow
When you're young and defensive it comes off offensive
And it's hard to repay the tolerance that you borrowed
The lasting relationship sinks right off the pier
Who wears the pants; it's faded but clear

She's your girlfriend, seems she ain't too fond of me
I guess if that's the way it was meant to be
There we were, just we three
You, your girlfriend, and me

I've known you forever, you two just met
So easily amused; how fast we forget
In my jealously, my self-righteous greed
She's a bit like a book I'm too far sighted to read
And I wish you the best, I sometimes feel the need
To say remember me

She's your girlfriend, as far as we can see
Does she look at you the way she looks at me
And here we are, just we three
You, your girlfriend, and me

She's your girlfriend, it's getting harder to see
Better just take her home, better just let her be
When she walks out that door, you'll come looking for me

"Whatcha Need"

"Whatcha Need"


Spray painted his wardrobe black to make the scene
Special ordered boots and hats from a magazine
Say hello to the underground, say hello for me!
You make believe the end is coming,
you'll believe in don't stop running
And you can have your bullets back,
go back to your chicken shack,
you can scare the daylights out of me,
if that's whatcha need.

She started dating men in black and circus freaks
She tied the hands behind the backs and left them there for weeks
Say hello to your mom and dad, say hello for me!
It's strange to me to hurt somebody
Strange to me that no one's coming
??
Dissapear when fades are black
you can scare the daylights out of me
if that's whatcha need....

The light came crawling through the crack and it reminded me
that i forgot to call you back and that you're mad at me
Well say hello to your bitter friends, say hello for me!

Take your pills and throw them back,
watch yourself fall through the cracks
You could scare the daylights out of me..
if that's whatcha need. whatcha need......

"When I See You"

"When I See You"


I can see I'm so far away
Can't see it any other way
When it really works I don't get in the way

Is this a job, is this a joke
I'm breathing fire, you're blowing smoke
I've been blinded by what I know
And all I know

Is when I see you, I wanna be with you
I want you to see the real me

Now what if I get lost on the way
And I say all those things you don't want me to say
What if we're still going the same way

You're not a victim, not in danger
I'm not your rival, not a stranger
I've been blinded by what I know
And all I know

When I see you, I wanna be with you
I want you to see the real me
When I see you I wanna be with you
I want you to see what's inside of me

No matter what you do or what you say
I want you to change, but you can change

When I see you I want to be with you
I want you to see the real me
When I see you I wanna be with you
I want you to see what's inside of me

I want you to be
I want you to be whoever you want to be

"Whoa"

"Whoa"


Whoaaaaaa! I want blood
Southwest go home
I'm desperate to make love
Whoaaaaaa! desperate?
Southwest go home
I'm desperate to make love
Whooooaaaa!

"Without A Trace"

"Without A Trace"


I fell in love with a hooker
She laughed in my face
So seriously I took her
I was a disgrace

I was out of line
I was out of place
Out of time to save face
See the open mouth of my suitcase
Saying "Leave this place...
Leave without a trace..."
Leave without a trace

I tried to get a good job
With honest pay
Might as well join the mob
The benefits are okay

Standing in the sun with a popsicle
Anything is possible
With a lot of luck and a pretty face
And some time to waste
Leave without a trace...
Leave without a trace...

I tried to dance at a funeral
New Orleans style
I joined the Grave Dancers Union
I had to file
Trying to do the right thing
Play it straight
The right thing changes from state to state
Don't forget to take your mace
If you're out working late
I liked to see your face
You left without a trace
Leave without a trace

"Your Clock"

"Your Clock"


You're so full of fuckin' lies
You also live a fucked up life
Cut you up and la, da, da
I can't get enough of your clock

I just want you to have some fun
I tried to fuck you for a buck
Shows how I fucked up everyone
I'll never get enough of your clock

Oh, oh, a-oh
Oh, oh, a-oh
Oh, oh, a-oh

Are ya'll tucked in to ready to play
Ya'll tucked in to ready get away
Folks off the street callin' don't be late
I haven't had enough of your clock

Before the sundown fa, la, la
Ya, ya, ya, blah, blah, blah
Who's that shreikin' push and shove
I can't get enough of your clock

Oh, oh, a-oh
Oh, oh, a-oh
Oh, oh, a-oh

You all make me wonder why
You're fucked up these bitches die
Wonderin' where and when to die
I can't get enough of your clock
