"Prime Time"

"Prime Time"


Come fly with me
What are you waiting for
Come fly with me
Don't waste a minute more

I'll give you my prime time
I'm saving my prime time for you
Give you my prime time
I'm saving my prime time for you

I'm waiting here
For no one else but you
Come closer dear
That's all you have to do

I'll give you my prime time
I'm saving my prime time for you
Give you my prime time
I'm saving my prime time for you

Don't be shy
I would never hurt you
I have had my eye on you
For such a long, long time

You know I'm always here
If you should need me
If you want a drink or two
I'm the one you should see

Go anywhere
Still you can call on me
And I'll be there
Just say the word and see

I'll give you my prime time
I'm saving my prime time for you
Give you my prime time
I'm saving my prime time for you

I've waited here
For no one else but you
Come closer dear
That's all you have to do

I'll give you my prime time
I'm saving my prime time for you
Give you my prime time
I'm saving my prime time for you

"Proactivity"

"Proactivity"


My new fashion is the ultimate reaction
Proactivity, proactivity yeah
No more waiting for what fate may be creating
Proactivity, proactivity yeah

Keepin' an eye on that karma goin' by
Proactivity, proactivity yeah
Ever ready and my gaze is rock steady
Proactivity for me, proactivity yeah

Wake up and face the animal in you
The frightened lizard that wants to win you
That wants the madness to continue
Screwed into every sinew

Go on pretending you don't know the ending
All the things that you weren't intending
But your broadcast continued sending
Now you're just hoping to blend in

I can't digs it, no one else is gonna fix it
Proactivity for me, proactivity yeah
Air keeps stinkin' while we sit here thinkin'
No activity, proactivity yeah

Keep on fakin', it's a fake world you're makin'
Proactivity, proactivity yeah
Crash test dummies never saw it comin'
Inactivity, proactivity yeah

Look who's talkin', the last believer
I'm the one who was happy with neither
The last to come and the first to leave it
I tossed my faith in the river

My mistake, my philosophy busted
I watched my future become encrusted
I had a dream, but I refused to trust it
Now I've finally sussed it

"Property"

"Property"


I'll be your fantasy, but I won't be your property
Love you eternally, but I'll never be your property
Love from me's not guaranteed
Just because you think I'm property

I can love you totally and still not be your property
Every girl and boy wants to grow up to be loved someday
And you can't wait to give your heart away
But it's like worship in their eyes walking down the aisle

When you slip on that ring, they start to treat you like a thing, yeah
I call it slavery when you call someone your property
Don't waste your vanity, I will never be your property
Something wonderful happens when people fall in love

Your happiness is all they're thinking of
But it's like "anything you say" 'til the wedding day
When they get it in ink, they start to tell you what to think, yeah
Darkest day in history when someone invented property

'Cause of our misery is the constant lust for property
Since god began it, we've been dividing up the planet
When you see something you want it
You've got to put your name tag on it

And we go on carving, meanwhile half the world is starving
It's a crime .. hands off what is mine!
Take all you can 'til you slam on the parking brake
And you need space to make your own mistakes

But it's like "I won't hold you back" 'til the bags are packed
Then they're struttin' about like they own you inside out
I call it slavery (you can't make me a slave),
When you call someone your property

Don't waste your vanity (don't be so vain),
I will never be your property
Darkest day in history (why did you have to do a thing like that)
When someone invented property

'Cause of our misery (misery, misery)
Is the constant lust for property

"Public Servant"

"Public Servant"


Cut 'em loose

Public servant, public slave
It's one single slide from the cradle to the grave
Can't remember why you're still in the race
To be a public servant, public slave

You got to know who satan is
You know you made him come alive
You let the yahoos write the script
When you sold your soul to survive
I only want to hear my voice
Come on, hit me where I live
Let's imagine we had a choice
Let's pretend we're persuasive

I guess it keeps you off the street
I guess you couldn't find honest work
And you're content to follow the fleet
Hanging 'round with world-class jerks
I guess you can't have too little class
Sometimes it pays to have no soul
Just keep your mindset in the past
And your head up your asshole

It's not as if we couldn't cope
It's not as if the pope eloped
It's just as if you're out of hope
And if you can't stand twice as tall
If you're too afraid to fall
If you haven't got the balls
Cut 'em loose

 

[fox69]

"Pulse"

"Pulse"


Step by step by step by step by
Steps grow longer
'til it's just like stepping in another world

Feel that pulse that pulse that pulse
That pulse go stronger
Like a breath line coming from another world

Don't want to leave my old world but I can't deny
What it is that draws me on

Like a magnet pulling from another world

Don't know what I'll find in the new world
But I'm not afraid of the sound that calls me on
Like a siren singing in another world

Here comes a change, and another change,
And another change
And another wave of change
Like a heartbeat pumping from another world

 

[fox69]

"Rain"

"Rain"


If the rain comes, they run and hide their heads
They might as well be dead if the rain comes
When the sun shines, they slip into the shade
And sip their lemonade, when the sun shines

Rain, I don't mind
Shine, the weather's fine

I can show you that when it starts to rain
Everything's the same, I can show you
Can you hear me, that when it rains and shines
It's just a state of mind, can you hear me

I know what it's like to be dead
I know what it is to be sad

 

[fox69]

"Real Man"

"Real Man"


When I was a child
I thought as a child
I spoke as a child
I didn't know better
But now I'm a man
I look like a man
I'm old as a man
And I should know better
Got my head in the sky
And my mind knows what it wants
But my body just drags me down
And my world is something you can't see
But it's still very real to me
You can find it in the hole where I keep my soul
There it is - way down inside me
There's a real man
Forget about my body and be a real man

I see with my heart
I hear with my heart
I feel with my heart
Sometimes it works better
And some so-called friends put me down
And they pity me for trying
Bad emotions push me around
But the vision shines on and on
It will shine when we all are gone
And I'd like to add a little sparkle while I'm here
Light it up - way down inside me
There's a real man
Forget about bad feelings and be a real man

Some men's world is only hate and money
Afraid of everything and they laugh at nothing
And they only live to criticize
You can laugh at me now (ha ha ha)
But the time comes to everybody
When you must decide
When that day finally comes along
You might wish you'd been a little more strong
Then you'll wake up in the morning cryin'
"Oh my God"
There it is - way down inside me
It's a real man
You got to grow up sometime
Be a real man
Suffer them slings and arrows
Be a real man
Now be a real man
Don't sell yourself for nothing
Be a real man
Don't take no crap from no one
Be a real man
Get your trip together
Be a real man

 

[fox69]

"Remember Me"

"Remember Me"


I don't know how you feel
If you really see
And for years I would pray
That you'd favor me

But for now, please allow
One formality
Down the road, 'cross the sea
Please remember me

 

[fox69]

"Rock & Roll Pussy"

"Rock & Roll Pussy"


Beat it, beat it, beat your guitar
Smash it, smash it, 'til it sees stars
Rip it, rip it, rip it to shreds
Throw down your axe and then jump into bed

Get up, get up, get up and see
Revolution on the tv
Will you, will you, get your nails dirty
Or are you only just a, only just a, only just a, only just a... etc.

...only just a rock and roll pussy?

 

[fox69]

"Saving Grace"

"Saving Grace"


I think I'm gonna love it
I think I'm gonna love it
Because I know someday someone else will see it my way
And then I'll know I was not wrong

I know they won't believe it
I know they won't believe it
They think that I'm no good
But I will make myself understood
'Cause I believe it all along

I think I'm gonna love it
I think I'm gonna love it
I think I'm gonna love it
When they finally see

I know they won't believe it
I know they won't believe it
I know they won't believe it
When they finally see the saving grace in me

I know the time is gonna come
When I will mean something to someone
Until that day I'm hanging on

I think I'm gonna love it
I think I'm gonna love it
I think I'm gonna love it
When they finally see

I know they won't believe it
I know they won't believe it
I know they won't believe it
When they finally see the saving grace in me

I think I'm gonna love it
I think I'm gonna love it
I think I'm gonna love it
When they finally see

I know they won't believe it
I know they won't believe it
I know they won't believe it
When they finally see the saving grace in me

I think I'm gonna love it
I think I'm gonna love it
I think I'm gonna love it
When they finally see

I know they won't believe it
I know they won't believe it
I know they won't believe it
