Queen of Hearts

Would it be so unfair
So unjust
To ask you to stay frozen
In your own fiery lust?

To stay suspended
To stay staring
To hang yourself on a broken hope
Without me caring

To be my novelty
My fleeting joy
To be nothing more than a past laugh
To expect nothing more than an abandoned toy

A still frame
I can look back on with a smile faint
But turn the page with fingers numb
And think of your affections as nothing more than quaint

I'll lay my cards on the table
And play all of the hearts
Trading a king for a joker
-A joker for a fresh start

I want you to drown in your expectations
To disappoint you with my shoulder turned
To tease you with a stray glance
And to watch in reverie as you crash and burn

To drape myself over your coffin
As they lower you into the gaping ground
To run my shoe over the edge
To scream so I can remember the sound

Until the lights go off
These musings must be my water and bread
If i slip i will remember
The bitter meal i was fed

That burns inside of me
And makes me want to hate your name
Yet i can't let go of the idea of you
And what i can never reclaim

To kiss the idea of love
To dream of a better circumstance
To imagine us under a black sky
To wonder why I never had my chance

Stay For A While

Long time since Ive seen your smile,
But when I close my eyes,
I remember
You were no more than a child,
But then so was i,
Young and tender.
Time carries on;
I guess it always will,
But deep inside my heart
Time stands still.
Stay for awhile.
Well, its good to see your smile,
And I love your company.
Stay for awhile.
And remember the days gone by;
For a moment it can seem
Just the way it used to be.
Snowfalls, phone calls, broken hearts,
Clear summer days,
Warm and lazy;
Long walks, long talks, after dark;
We vowed wed never forget.
Now its hazy.
Time takes its toll,
And time alters our view.
It would be nice to
Spend some time with you.
Oh, stay for awhile.
Well, its good to see your smile,
And I love your company.
(oohhh) stay for awhile.
And remember the days gone by;
For a moment it can seem
Just the way it used to be.
Stay....
(please stay.)
Stay, stay, stay....
One, two, one, two.
Stay for awhile.
Well, its good to see your smile,
And I love your company.
(oohhh) stay for awhile.
And remember the days gone by;
Just the way it used to be.
Stay for awhile.
Oh, its good to see your smile,
And I love your company.
Wont you stay with me for awhile,
And remember the days gone by;
For a moment it can seem
Just the way it used to be.
(the way it used to be. be.......
The way it used to be, ooohhhh, aaaahhhhhh. ooooooooooooooh.
Now, now, now, now.... hoohhhhhh....)

Remember bad times will pass away

When love has left you
Feeling low and blue

Remember
Bad times will pass away
They may sometimes seem long
But are not bound to stay

When times are hard
And you are low on wad
Feeling lonely and sad
Right in your backyard

Remember
Bad times will pass away
They may sometimes seem long
Hang in there be strong
You have done no wrong

When you have nothing else to play
Except your last joker card
And people think you've gone completely mad
Please don't resort to being bad

Remember
Bad times will pass away
They may sometimes seem long
But are not bound to stay
Miracles do happen
Only if you and only you believe!

For those who love you safely from a distance
Remember it for the time
When they want your friendship enhanced

I love to hate

I love the way you do your hair I love the way you smile
I love the way you make me laugh every moment worthwhile

I love the way you write your poems every word straight from the heart
I love the way you do everything I just loved to love you from the start

I hate to see you angry and I hate to see you sad
I hate to see you cry and I hate to see you mad


I hate it when you say his name I hate how perfect he was
Im probably just over jealous wanting to be the one you love

But now I hate the way I love you I cant stand the pain
With all this hurt and suffering its really hard to stay sane

I know we cant be together I guess its just my fate
I loved every thing about you and now everything I loved I hate

I hate the way you do your hair I hate the way you smile
I cant stand the way you make me laugh every moment bitter and vile

I hate the way you write your poems every word stabs through my heart
I hate the way you do everything I hate that I loved you from the start

But I still hate to see you angry I still hate to see you sad
I still hate to see you cry and I still hate to see you mad

I still hate hearing his name and how perfect he was
Im still just over jealous wanting to be the one you love

If I could heal the broken cracks and mend I broken heart
I wouldn’t change anything I'd love you over from the start

And if I could turn back time and ask for one last wish
I would only want from you the warmth of one last kiss

Burn Three Times

Burn burn burn
Burn burn burn
Burn burn burn
Burn burn burn
Im cookin up somethin
Cookin up somethin
Cookin up somethin special for you
Its on the back burner
On the back burner
On the back burner waiting for you
Im no burger king, Im no pizza pie spinner
Dont come sniffin round here for something to eat
Its a gourmet thing, not a tv dinner
So stay out of the kitchen if you cant take the heat
Its gonna
Burn burn burn - you might get burned
Burn burn burn - cause its so hot
Burn burn burn - that you might get burned
Burn burn burn
Ive got a hot number
Got a hot number
Got a hot number bearing your name
Its such a big order
Such a big order
Such a big order turn up the flame
Its a champagne kiss with a surprise in the middle
I hope youre hungry, Ive been cookin all day
Got a love so strong you couldnt squish it with a griddle
Call out the volunteers cause my hearts a flambe
I gotta time it right so its warm when you get it
Turn up the heat just a little bit higher
It was a good idea but I think I overdid it
I cant reach the oven and the kitchens on fire

Stay Away

You gave me too many chances, now its drivin us apart
I keep on runnin with the boys, girl, but then you knew that from the start
It must keep building up inside you, cause you never let it show
I know Im hanging on the edge now, but I wont let go
I never meant to hurt you, but something was on my mind
Just give me one more chance, we can make it this time
Stay away, stay away from my heart - bet Im trying my best
Stay away, stay away from my heart
If you gave me three wishes, Id throw two of them away
Ive seen that look in your eye girl, Id use the last one this way
Weve been from rags to riches, but your love cant be bought
Im just a junkyard dog, girl, whos afraid hes been caught
Youre standing in the shadows, watching everything that I do
And I know the way things must look, it couldnt be further from the truth
Stay away, stay away from my heart - Im doing all that I can
Stay away, stay away from my heart
Remember how it used to be girl, makin love like its the last time
We held each other close, not knowing what wed found
You felt the pounding of my thunder, as your rain was pouring down
(instrumental break)
I never meant to hurt you, but something was on my mind
Just give me one more chance, we can make it this time
Stay away, stay away from my heart - yeah, but I wanna stay here with you
Stay away, stay away from my heart - yeah, Im doing all I can do
Stay away, stay away from my heart - but I wanna stay away from you
Stay away, stay away from my heart...

Stay With Me

(pagowoy/weiss)
Where did you go
When things went wrong, baby,
And who did you run to,
To find a shoulder
To lay your head upon.
Baby, wasnt I there,
Didnt I take good care of you.
Oh no, I cant believe you leaving me...
Stay with me, baby,
Stay with me, baby...
Wont you stay with me, baby,
I cant go on...
Who did you touch
When you need tenderness.
I gave so much
And in return I found happiness.
Baby, what did I do
Maybe I was too good, too good for you.
No, no, I cant believe you leaving me.
Stay with me, baby,
Stay with me, baby.
Wont you stay with me, baby,
I cant go on.
Remember,
You said youre always gonna need me,
Remember,
You said youd never, ever leave me,
Remember, remember, Im asking you, begging you.
Stay with me, baby,
Stay with me, baby...
Wont you stay with me, baby,
I cant go on, cant go on...
Stay with me, baby,
Stay with me, stay with me, baby.
Wont you stay with me, baby,
I cant go on...

Playing with cards

The Joker was wild,
uninhibited and out of control.
He hit the deck, out did the Queen of Hearts
and all her tribe
confusing her husband the King
and kicked the Ace into touch.

The King of Spades saw him coming,
rounded up the troops, the Jack and
all the men from 2 to 10,
leaving the Ace until last
in case of something.
The Joker just smiled,

hitched up with the Queen of Clubs,
went along for the ride
to find the Diamonds and then,
threw all the cards on the table,
leading the whole pack awry
until the last man was trumped.

Agoraphobia

Two people touching lips
Hands on each other's hips
Nothing in else in the world but one another
The 42nd floor
On a distant shore
I wonder how we strayed so far from this
Remember when we were
Just flesh and bone you sir
May have forgotten how good your world could be
So, put down your hollow tips
And kiss your lovers lips
And know that fate is what you make of it
Please end this
Before it ends us
I wanna stay inside
I wanna stay inside for good
I wanna stay inside
For good
I read the news today
And everything they say
Just makes me want to stay inside
And a better part of me knows
That waiting in the throws
Is on the par with reading with my eyes closed
"What Can I do?", You say
It's just another day
In the life of Apes with ego trips
Put down your hollow tips
And kiss your lover's lips
And learn that fate is what we make of it
Please end this
Before it ends us
I wanna stay inside
I wanna stay inside for good
I wanna stay inside
For good
I'm gonna stay inside
I'm gonna stay inside for good
I'm gonna stay inside
For Good
I wanna stay inside
I wanna stay inside for good
I wanna stay inside
Don't want to stay inside for good

Step Inside Love

Step inside love, let me find you a place
Where all the cares of the day
Will be carried away
By the smile on your face
We are together now and forever
Come what may
Step inside love and stay
Step inside love
Step inside love
Step inside love
I want you to stay
You look tired love, let me turn down the light
Come in out of the cold
Rest your head on my shoulder
And love me tonight
I'll always be here if you should need me
Night and day
Step inside love and stay
Step inside love
Step inside love
Step inside love
I want you to stay
When you leave me, say you'll see me again
For I know in my heart
We will not be apart
And I'll miss you till then
We'll be together now and forever
Come what may
Step inside love and stay
Step inside love
Step inside love
Step inside love
I want you to stay

Burn in Desire

dont play with fire
dont fondle my desire
becasue im burning like hell
inside this shell
ashes of my sin
enticed by what could have been
baby dont play with my fire
you'll burn in desire

i tell you to runaway
with me you wont stay
pure, but burned clean to the bone
with the burning edge in my tone
push you away
dont suffer my stay
just runaway
from the fire that plays
with your heart
your desire

ive caught you
you burn in my fire
cant fight away
what we know
will kill us, but in anyway
we cant let go

cant burn me out
black me out
get me out of your head
why the screaming?
your already dead
from desire
of this fire
kid dont play with fire

you take sin offered in my hand
im only a tease
smoldering what you understand
to a fire that cant please
only the thirst
that hurts
it rips us to pieces

beware of me
ill burn you eyes black
till you cant see
life from lust
or what to trust
i give you desire
now burn in fire

im your simple desire
take me, burn in fire
dancing with tongues of a devil
scorching sins
runaway, and ill take you again

ive told you my plans
but you hold my hand
smoldered by embers in my eyes
i hkkope you know this fire wont ever die
it burns in me
burns me up to death
till all i see
is passion, and death to the rest

take regret with the pain
going to hell
its all the same
driven by sin
all over again
play with fire
consumed with desire

New

Dont let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
Dont let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
And I cant believe Ive had this chance now
Dont let it go away
New, youre so new
You, youre new
And I never had this taste in the past
New, youre so new
My normal hesitation is gone
And I really gravitate to your will
Are you here to fetch me out?
cause I never had this taste in my mouth
Oh youre not old
And youre not familiar
Recently discovered
And Im learning about you
New, youre so new
You, youre new
And youre consuming me violently
And youre reverence shamelessly tempting me
Who sent this maniac
cause I never had this taste in my past
Oh youre different
Youre different from the former
Like a fresh battery
Im energized by you
Dont let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
Dont let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
And I cant believe Ive had this chance now
Dont let it go away
Why am I so curious
This territorys dangerous
Ill probably end up at the start
Ill be back in line with my broken heart
New, youre so new
You, youre new
And I never had this taste in the past
Dont let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
Dont let it go away
This feeling has got to stay
And I cant believe Ive had this chance now
Dont let it go away
And I cant believe it
Cant believe it
Cant believe it
Cant believe it
Dont let it go away, this feeling has got to stay
Dont let it go away

Before and Now

With that first glance
Of your face
I couldn't think of anything to say
So I hoped you'll stay

I hope you could understand
Why I was shy
But now I want to hold your hands
and dance under the sky

My hearts stuck on you
It wonders no more
And I never thought
We would adore

It could of been by chance
So I'm going to treasure our romance
and remember this and nothing more
And It will stay my strongest desire

Stay With Me

In the mornin' don't say you love me,
'Cause I'll only kick you out of the door
I know your name is Rita 'cause your perfume's smellin' sweeter
Since when I saw you down on the floor. Oh, guitar
Won't need too much persuadin'
I don't mean to sound degradin',
But with a face like that you got nothin' to laugh about.
Red hair, lips and fingernails,
I hear you're a mean old Jezebel
Let's go upstairs and read my Tarot cards
Come on
Stay with me, stay with me
For tonight you'd better stay with me
Stay with me, stay with me
For tonight you'd better stay with me
Come on
So, in the mornin', don't say you love me
'Cause you know I'll only kick you out the door
Yeah, I'll pay your cab fare home, you can even use my best cologne,
Just don't be here in the mornin' when I wake up
Keyboard, come on
Stay with me, stay with me
For tonight you'd better stay with me
Get up, get out now
Stay with me, stay with me
For tonight you'd better stay with me
Say what's your name again

Should I Stay Or Should I Go?

[Originally by The Clash]
Darling you gotta let me know
Should I stay or should I go?
If you say that you are mine
I'll be here 'til the end of time
So you got to let know
Should I stay or should I go?
Always tease tease tease
Siempre - coqetiando y enganyando
You're happy when I'm on my knees
Me arrodilla y estas feliz
One day is fine, next is black
Un dias bien el otro negro
So if you want me off your back
Al rededar en tu espalda
Well come on and let me know
Me tienes que desir
Should I Stay or should I go?
Me debo ir o que darme
Should I stay or should I go now?
Should I stay or should I go now?
If I go there will be trouble
An' if I stay it will be double
So come on and let me know
This indecision's bugging me
Esta undecision me molesta
If you don't want me, set me free
Si no me qui

Fade Away

The day is done, the blinds are drawn
The sound of afternoon is gone
The corner store has locked its door
And everyone has left for home
When their sleepy little heads
Settle snug inside their beds
You and I will stay and watch the sun fade away
The balladeer, the buccaneer
The liar, the man who would be king
The cavalier, the profiteer
The one who knows only suffering
As the cannons gather rust,
All their castles turn to dust
You and I will stay and see them fade away
We are on an endless flight my friend
With no beginning and no end
Ive forgotten more than I remember
Sometimes I want to hide myself away
But I know theres no escape
We must go on, go on forever
The sea will rise, mountains fall
The earth will turn itself upside down
But we have seen it all before,
We will always be around
In a hundred million years
When the planet disappears
You and I will stay
And watch the world fade away
And in a million trillion years
When the stars all disappear
You and I will stay
And watch it all fade away

Still Around

Do you remember what you said to me the day I met you
Like yesterday I still can hear your voice, you promised to be
Still in my life no matter what you had to do to be there
Well, it's been a while and here we are lookin' back on times that we shared
I still imagine us being young and so in love
Never apart, you were my heart
Seems like it's always just been us
Chorus:
I remember we were in the park
Holding hands and you said to me
I'm the only thing you need
And I would make your life complete
If I said I'd be your girl
You would stay with me forever
Boy, you never let me down
Through it all you're still around
Still around (yeah)
I still believe in all the things you said to me in those days
You gave me love and kept your word with every promise you made
I sing your favorite song inside my head when you're not with me
Until you come back home and take me in your arms and hold me
I can imagine us being old and still in love
Never apart, you are my heart
Makes me smile, we're still in love
I remember we were in the park
Holding hands and you said to me
I'm the only thing you need
And I would make your life complete
If I said I'd be your girl
You would stay with me forever
Boy, you never let me down
Through it all you're still around
Looking back through all the years
(Man speaking):
Heh
You remember the first time I went to your house
And your father looked at me like I had three heads
(And I will never forget the day)
Heh
We were so in love
(Looking back through all the years)
You were so beautiful and so young
(And I will never forget the day you came into my life and what you said to me)
I can't believe you're still mine
That's crazy
I love you
I remember we were in the park (we were in the park)
Holding hands and you said to me (holding hands)
I'm the only thing you need
And I would make your life complete (and I would your life complete)
If I said I'd be your girl
You would stay with me forever (I'm still your girl)
Boy, you never let me down
Through it all you're still around (I'll never let you down, my baby)
I remember we were in the park
Holding hands and you said to me
I'm the only thing you need
And I would make your life complete
If I said I'd be your girl (said I'd be your girl and)
You would stay with me forever
Boy, you never let me down
Through it all you're still around
Still around (yeah)

I Remember Larry

Say, do you remember that guy larry next door
Well, he always was the neighborhood clown
Like the time he pulled my pants off
And he took those color pictures
And posted copies all over town
Or the time that he dumped toxic waste on my lawn
Or those wacky prank phone calls from midnight till dawn
What a crazy kid larry was, always foolin around
Boy, what a joker
What a funny, funny guy
Ill never forget about larry
No matter how I try
Say, do you remember when I lost all my hair
cause lar gave me that nair shampoo
And hey, how bout the day he put ben gay inside my jockstrap
And filled my toothpaste tube up glue
All those wedgies he gave
All those shoestrings he tied
All those brownies he made with the ex-lax inside
Oh, lar, I swear, it was a laugh a minute with you
Boy, what a joker
What a funny, funny guy
Ill never forget about larry
No matter how I try
You know I couldnt help but laugh
Even though he treated me like slime
Remember when he cut my car in half?
Well, he really got me good that time!
Say, do you remember when I broke in larrys house
Late at night and tied his mouth with a rag
Then I dragged him by his ankles to the middle of the forest
And stuffed him in a big plastic bag
If the cops ever find him, who knows what theyd say
But Im sure if ol lar were still with us today
He would have to agree with me
It was a pretty good gag
Oh boy, what a joker
What a funny, funny guy
Ill never forget about larry
No matter how I try
Oh boy, what a joker
What a funny, funny guy
Ill never forget about larry
No matter how I try
No matter how I try
Oh, I remember larry

I Will Be There For You

I remember long ago
A foolish one that hurt you so
I was someone you need to know
Stay here tonight
Turn back the tide
You've got to shine on my life again
I just need a second chance
To repair this circumstance
Stay here tonight
Turn back the tide
You've got to shine on my life again
Anything you want
Anything you need
I will be there for you
Every single day
Every little way
I will be there for you
Anything you need
I will be there for you
Every single day
Every little way
I will be there for you
I am so much wiser now
I live so fast I must slow down
Forget the past forgive me world
Stay here tonight
Turn back the tide
You?ve got to shine on my life again
Anything you want
Anything you need
I will be there for you
Every single day
Every little way
I will be there for you
Anything you need
I will be there for you
Every single day
Every little way
I will be there for you
It's not up to me
You have to believe
We must cross this sea alone
Did you ever know?
The day I let you go
I've been running on my own
On my own
Anything you want
Anything you need
I will be there for you
Every single day
Every little way
I will be there for you
Anything you need
I will be there for you
Every single day
Every little way
I will be there for you

Miles Away

I got my head down between my knees
I got my back against this bedroom wall
I hear my voice saying baby please
But I know you dont hear me call
Youre staring at that far horizon
I dont even know why you stay
Its like youre already miles and miles away
We got this life so far turned around
We only talk about what happened last
We try to move ahead but were losing ground
To the heartache and the pain of the past
Staring at that far horizon
I dont even know why I stay
Youre already miles and miles away.
Miles away
From these sad deliberations
From a life in disarray
And all these recriminations
And these stones all in your passway
You got this rage choking up your voice
And youre behaving like an orphan child
I want to be your friend but I got no choice
Than to fight when youre so mean and wild
Staring at that far horizon
I dont even know why you stay
Its like youre already miles and miles away
Miles away
From these sad deliberations
From the innocence betrayed
The abandoned expectations
And the stones that we have laid

Stay In Shadow

So cold that you cannot cope
With a frozen heart
I guess we blow apart
I guessed it from the start Stay in shadow
Ill run this world out
Stay in shadow
Its running out of time
Stay in shadow
I want to watch it drown
Stay in this now
Dont say because you cant
Say what we should have been
Dont show what I resent
Dont know cause I forget
So cruel to be so blind
Darkness was on my side
Now that youve come and gone
I know where I belong
Light is leaving as I watch you go
Light is leaving inside of my soul
