Police Me

Police Me


9 1 1
What is the nature of your emergency?
They say I'm trying to reach nine eleven
But my phone doesn't have eleven on it.
Someone broke into my house
And took a bite out of my
Ham and cheese sandwich.
Yes, I bring home the bacon
Police is a friend of mine on facebook
And please police me
Carabinierize me
And vigilize me
Please urbanize me
9 1 1
So

What is the nature of your emergency they say
I've some articulation problem as you can see
Yes you can. Sounds good. Sounds Heineken.
I always say I said
I have got a goat and I'd like a dog
Call the police cause I've just killed the music
And please police me
Carabinierize me and vigilize me
Please urbanize me
9 1 1 so
Mary Magdalene called the 9 1 1 so many times
She denounced some bad boy who was launching stones against her

And I sing the law
And the police love
I sing the love
I sing the law

Programmable Soda

Programmable Soda


Think of me as programmable soda
Too much cherry
Baby then you can just add cola
Think of as programmable soda
Cause you can
Can be a cruel fella
So OK
Then I just back of the vanilla
Think of me as programmable soda
Cause Iâ??ve come
Iâ??ve come to accept that
For lovelies
You are a fanatic
But I canâ??t
I canâ??t let that throw me
Into a genital pa-pa-panic
Think of me as programmable soda
Too much cherry
Baby then you can just add cola
Think of me as programmable soda
When you think
And boy when you drink
When you think of me.

Promise


Tori: Promise not to say

Tash: that you told me so
Promise not to say

Tori: that I'm getting too old

Tash: Promise not to take

Tori: never take your phone

Tash: I mean take their word

Tori: you mean over yours?
what I need to know, will you

Tash: Be there

Tori: Where the sun shines

Tash: I will be there

Tori: you are the light

Tash: that follows you everywhere

Tori: you're not alone

Tash: when I am broken down

Tori: we all break down

Tash: when every door is closed

Tori: there is one more

Tash: will you look for me?
I will rescue you

Purple People

Purple People


Well hey do you do Judo
When they surround you
A little mental yoga
Will they disappear

It's grim but never dubious as motives go
One thing she'll always promises
Promises is a show
Thunder wishes it could be the Snow
Wishes it could be as loved as she can be
These gifts are here
For her
For you
For me

I watch me be this other thing and never know
If I'm marooned or where the purple people go
Then lily white matricide
From vicious words
It doesn't leave a scratch
So therefore no one's hurt

Thunder wishes it could be the Snow
Wishes it could be as loved as she can be
These gifts are here
For her
For you
For me

And don't you know
The nurses make it clear
Just when you've escape
You have yourself to fear
A restaurant that never has to close
Breakfast, every hour
It could save the world

So hey do you do Judo in your finery
An angel's face is tricky to wear constantly

Thunder wishes it could be the Snow
Wishes it could be as loved as she can be
These gifts are here
For her
For you
For me
For her
For her

Purple Rain

Purple Rain


I never meant to cause you any sorrow
I never meant to cause you any pain
I only wanted to one time see you laughing
I only wanted to see you laughing in the purple rain

Purple rain Purple rain
Purple rain Purple rain
Purple rain Purple rain

I only wanted to see you bathing in the purple rain

I never wanted to be your weekend lover
I only wanted to be some kind of friend
Baby I could never steal you from another
It's such a shame our friendship had to end

Purple rain Purple rain
Purple rain Purple rain
Purple rain Purple rain

I only wanted to see you underneath the purple rain

Honey I know, I know, I know times are changing
It's time we all reach out for something new
That means you to
You say you want a leader
But you can't seem to make up your mind
I think you better close it
And let me guide you to the purple rain

Purple rain Purple rain
Purple rain Purple rain

If you know what I'm singing about up here
C'mon raise your hand

Purple rain Purple rain

I only want to see you, only want to see you
In the purple rain

Purple Sunset

Purple Sunset


Purple Sunset
Orange Moon
I'm Alone Again
Without You
I Knew Someone
Had To Lose


Kiss Goodbye
Go Back To Your Separate Life
That You Have With Her
Ashes Blow
In The Windy Skye
Take My Heart
As You Go


CHORUS:
Baby It Burns
Baby It Burns
Baby It Burns
To Be Your
Fire on The Side
Taste My Tears
See How The Burn
Baby It Burns
To Be Your
Fire on The Side


Purple Sunset
Orange Moon
How Can The
Music Play
When The Only Band
Is Made Of Gold
Wrapped Around
Your Hand
That I
Used To Hold
Against My Chest
Every Night
But I Still
Can Hope
You Will See
I'm Your Home
REPEAT CHORUS


I Knew Someone
Had To Lose
Kiss Goodbye
Go Back To Your Separate Life
That You Have With Her
Take My Heart
As You Go

Putting The Damage On

Putting The Damage On


Glue stuck to my shoes
Does anyone know why you play with an orange rind
You say you packed my things
And you divided what was mine
You're off to the mountain top
I say her skinny legs could use the sun
But now I'm wishing
For my best impression
Of my best Angie Dickinson
But now I've got to worry
Cause boy you still look pretty
When you're putting the damage on

Don't make me scratch on your door
I never left you for a banjo
I only just turned around
For a poodle and a corvette
And my impression
Of my best Angie Dickinson
But now I've got to worry
Cause boy you still look pretty
When you're putting the damage on

I'm trying not to move
It's just your ghost passing through
I said I'm trying not to move
It's just your ghost passing through
It's just your ghost passing through
And now I'm quite sure

There's a light in your platoon
I never seen a light move
Like yours can do to me
So now I'm wishing
For my best impression
Of my best Anigie Dickinson
But now I've got to worry
Cause boy you still look pretty
To me
But I've got a place to go
I've got a ticket to your late show
And now I've got to worry even still
You sure are pretty
When you're putting the damage on
Yes
When you're putting the damage on
You're just so pretty
When you're putting the damage on

Raining Blood

Raining Blood


Trapped, in purgatory, a lifeless object, alive
Awaiting reprisal, and death
I said, she said, death will be their, acquisition

The sky is turning red, return to power draws near
Fall, onto me, onto er er er hour
Fall, onto me, the sky's crimson tears

Abolish the rules, abolish the rules, made of stone

Pierced from below, souls of my treacherous past
Betrayed by many, now, ornaments dripping above
Awaiting the hour of reprisal, your time slips away
Raining blood, Raining blood

From a lacerated sky
Bleeding its horror, creating my structure
Now I shall reign in blood, hhh

Raspberry Swirl

Raspberry Swirl


I am not senorita
I am not from your tribe
In the garden I did no crime
I am not your senorita

I am not from your tribe
If you want inside her well
Boy you better make her raspberry swirl
Things are getting desperate

When all the boys can't be men
Everybody knows I'm her friend
Everybody knows I'm her man
I'm not your senorita

I don't aim so high
In my heart I did no crime
If you want inside her well,
Boy you better make her raspberry swirl
