Afraid of dying
Im tired of living
but im afraid of dying
'Cause I dont know my fate
I dont know what awaits
Me up there in the sky.
I pray for a day
someone who has been there
Before will return to tell
Me what awaits me up there
But in all I know living
The right life will make all the
difference.

Im In The Middle
Dont makes no difference
If you lay down and cry
You know that you lied to me
And if you come to me
With tears in your eyes
Dont say good-bye
Just leave
Chorus:
Cause Im in the middle of something
I dont understand
How can my reasons for living
Slip right through my hands
Im in the middle of something
I dont understand
And if looks like I lose again
Dont make no difference
What you think of me
You know that Im restless and afraid
And if you love me
I know that you will see
You cant keep me
To the promises that I made
Chorus
Dont make no difference
What you think about me
After all you took me for a ride
Now every night with you
I still seem to find
I just cant keep you satisfied
Chorus x 2 fade

Not You Again
Oh, no, not you again
Please dont tell me
Youre here to stay
See I dont want to hear
Go away, go away
I like piano
I like to tv
Yeah I like my style, ya know, and I like to dream
I like color of the rainbow, they like to please me
But I dont like you, I dont like you, I dont like you
Ive told you before and Ill tell you again, and again, and again
Cant you get it thru your head
Youre not my friend
And Ive tried to be nice but now Im not going to lie
So I suggest you leave before I make you cry, bye
I like to be sulky
I like being vile
I like to make you angry, I like it all the while
I like to know that youre hated, it makes me smile
But I dont like you, I dont like you, I dont like you
Oh, no, not you again
Oh, no, not you again
Why, why, why, why me?
Why, why, why, why me?
I like where Im living
I like my view
I like anyone who detests you as I do
So I must find everyone including me too
cause I dont like you, I dont like you, I dont like you
Im sorry
Oh, no, not you again
Oh, no, not you again
I dont like, I dont like, I dont like, I dont like, I dont like you
I dont like, I dont like, I dont like you
Oh, no, not you again
I dont like, I dont like, I dont like, I dont like, I dont like you
I dont like, I dont like, I dont like you
I dont have to give a reason
I dont have to give a reason, if I dont want to
Hello? I said hello.

Got A Lot O Livin To Do
(words & music by aaron schroeder - ben weisman)
Oh yes Ive got a lot o living to do
A whole lot o loving to do
Come on baby, to make a party takes two
Oh yes Ive got a lot o living to do
A whole lot o loving to do
And theres no one who Id rather do it with-a than you
Theres a moon thats big and bright in the milky way tonight
But the way you act you never would know its there
So baby, times a wasting
A lot of kisses I aint been tasting
I dont know about you but Im gonna get my share
Oh got a lot o living to do
A whole lot o loving to do
Come on baby, to make a party takes two
Oh yes Ive got a lot o living to do
A whole lot o loving to do
And theres no one who Id rather do it with-a than you
Theres a balmy little breeze
Thats whistling through the trees
And its telling you to pitch a little woo with me
Why dont you take a listen
Youll never know what youve been missing
Cuddle up a little closer and be my little honey bee
Oh got a lot o living to do
A whole lot o loving to do
Come on baby, to make a party takes two
Oh yes Ive got a lot o living to do
A whole lot o loving to do
And theres no one who Id rather do it with-a than you
Youre the prettiest thing Ive seen
But you treat me so doggone mean
Aint you got no heart, Im dying to hold you near
Why do you keep me waiting
Why dont you start co-operating
And the things I say are things you want to hear
Oh got a lot o living to do
A whole lot o loving to do
Come on baby, to make a party takes two
Oh yes Ive got a lot o living to do
A whole lot o loving to do
And theres no one who Id rather do it with-a than you

Chinatown
Living and dying
In chinatown
Yes theyre living and dying down in old chinatown
You better look around
Man, you dont stand a chance if you go down in chinatown
Man, you dont stand a chance if you go down in chinatown
Laughing and crying you know its a fact
Theyre not laughing they are crying
'cause they wont be back
Oh no you dont come back
Not from chinatown
Man, you dont stand a chance if you go down in chinatown
Man, you dont stand a chance if you go down in chinatown
Chinatown, its a different scene
There are people there, they are so obscene
If you see what I mean
Then theyve sold you the dream
Down in chinatown
What goes up it must come down
Living and dying
There is no release
Living and dying
There is no relief
There is no beliefs
Not in chinatown
Man, you dont stand a chance if you go down in chinatown
Man, you dont stand a chance if you go down in chinatown

The Sun Goes Down
Though I live on the edge time is on my side
All the doors to my life are open wide
Just as long as the wheels keep on turning round
I will live for the groove til the sun goes down
Living it up, living it up
I can feel it
Living it up
Is it a crazy notion?
Living it up, living it up
I can feel it
Living it up
I got forward motion
I dont wanna go to war, I dont wanna go to war
I said I know what I want and I dont wanna go war - do you follow me?
I saw a soldier standing in a bar
Looked so tired hed come so far
He said I need to love someone, before they drop the atom bomb
Theres a girl at the back making eyes at me
And her hair long and black is a sight to see
But I get kind of scared when loves around
I just live for the groove til the sun goes down
Living it up, living it up
I can feel it
Living it up
Is it a false emotion?
Living it up, living it up
I can feel it
Living it up
I got forward motion
So Im a-taking you out but Im a-faking
Im married to the beat
But to the music I gave the heart I could have given you
Still theres something bout the way that you move
And the way that people stare its the shock of the new
I want my friends to see me standing next to you
The sun goes down . . .
Time is on my side
I dont care what they say Ill enjoy the ride
But I get kind of scared when I turn around
So Ill stay with the groove til the sun goes down
Living it up
Living it up
I can feel it
Living it up
I got forward motion
Ooh - watch her dance
There must be one like her in every club in every town
But I dont mind if that the way she wants to be
Theres something bout her that reminds me of me
Shes my soulmate - well be together til the sun goes down
The sun goes down
Living it up
Living it up
I can feel it
Living it up
I got forwand motion

Living & Living Well
Had a nice little life
A little boat a little beach
A little routine I liked
A blue ocean view
Free to go with the flow
Anywhere that I wanted to
But the moment you set foot on my shore
Thats when I knew
Theres a difference in
Living and living well
You cant have it all
All by yourself
Somethings always missing
til you share it with someone else
Theres a difference in living and living well
til you smiled with me
Thought that I had it good
As good as it could be
From the back of my deck
Caught a fish caught a breeze
And a thousand red sunsets
But sitting here with you girl I just saw
The best one yet
Theres a difference in
Living and living well
You cant have it all
All by yourself
Somethings always missing
til you share it with someone else
Theres a difference in living and living well
My days are brighter
My sky a deeper blue
My nights are sweeter
When Im with you
Theres a difference in
Living and living well
You cant have it all
All by yourself
Somethings always missing
til you share it with someone else
Theres a difference in living and living well

Suicide Life
Because this song is not officialy released, the lyrics have never been confirmed. in some cases there are other lyrics printed next to the line. this means an alternate suggestion to that line.
You think you get a lure or you think you get under
Old miss yours lib
And try to imagine
All the things that he did
You dont know where
Im gonna go
You dont know where
Ill go
Im going to brave me
Into the night
Im so tired of living
This suicide life
That aint no reason to live
Wake up in the night
And think of all the years
Falling from the ciel
Covering our years or covering your ears
You dont know how
Youre gonna get out
You dont know how
Youll get out
Im going to brave me
Into the night
Im so tired of living
This suicide life
That aint no reason to live
Call up your best friends
And tell them a lie
Youve got to be curring or youve got to be kidding
Im not really high
I dont know where
Im gonna go
I dont know where
Ill go
Im going to brave me
Into the night
Im so tired of living
This suicide life
That aint no reason to live

Awake
I wish something could just work out
coz Im too tired of trying when its coming to nothing
coz I dont wanna be saying look what I could have bin
walking behind a lawn mower
up and down my life couldnt go any slower
I dont wanna be lay on this bed crying
and yes I admit I dont wanna be tired of trying
but Im afraid and it feels like everyone around me is dying
I speak and you do not know what I mean
coz I am living but begining to think I am trapped inside this dream
maybe my eyes will never open?
It will never end and I will never mend a heart that is broken
I wanna blow but I blow every chance I get
you say you care but you and I have never really met
only in conversation that isnt real
so please do not tell me that you know how I feel
you should try closing your eyes to the lies
once they are closed I want you to see with my sight
you will never awake to the fake if you keep them closed all day and night
you will never give in but will die with a mistake you cant put right
only then will you see it clear
when? When you awake to the reality each and everyone one of us truely fear.

Wooden Nickels
Went down by the old courthouse
Stumbling through the streets
Had to get out of the house
Had to use my feet
And you may not think much of me now but
I think so damn much
Of you
Dont take any wooden nickels
When you sell your soul
Devil lover, time awaits you
When the party is over
Youre on your own
Trash truck coming up the road
Picking up the trash
Riding to a better place
Hoping we dont crash
Thinking of things after now
I never would have guessed it
This way
Dont take any wooden nickels
When you sell your soul
Devil lover, time awaits you
When the party is over
Youre on your own
And you may not think much of me now but
I think so damn much
Of you
Dont take any wooden nickels
When you sell your soul
Devil lover, time awaits you
Now the party is over
Im on my own
La lalala lalalala
La lala la la

Long Way Around
You say what you say
And you pray that one day
Youll be seen between the shadows
Now thats a waist of your pain
Living your life like a saint
When it dont...no
It dont even matter
Even saints make their mistakes
Letting their dreams fall and break
All it feels like
Living in sunshine with the shades pulled down
Now I want you to see
How good life can be
You can turn around
And better your life
With the good times found
People will always take the long way around
Before you know it youll be lost and found
Living in sunshine with the shades pulled down
People will always take the long way around
People will always take the long way around
Before you know it youll be lost and found
Living in sunshine with the shades pulled down
People will always take the long way around
Im not afraid of pride
When its for the right side
Dont betray what I believe in
Stand where you want to stand
And Ill believe when I can
cause Im telling you now
I been where youre living in
People will always take the long way around
Before you know it youll be lost and found
Living in sunshine with the shades pulled down
People will always take the long way around
People will always take the long way around
Before you know it youll be lost and found
Living in sunshine with the shades pulled down
People will always take the long way around
Will tomorrow keep its promise
No one here can say
The past is all behind us
And all we have is today
And all we have is today
People will always take the long way around
Before you know it youll be lost and found
Living in sunshine with the shades pulled down
People will always take the long way around
People will always take the long way around
Before you know it youll be lost and found
Living in sunshine with the shades pulled down
People will always take the long way around

Blade Is A Space
Between life and death
Awaits a blade
And a man awaits in decision
The midnight

Awaits with a loud laughter

Drama Free
Chorus:
Oh no, Im not the one you see
So dont you go confusing me
Ive got a different mentality
Im trying to be drama free
You stress me out and thats the truth
I dont want no substitute
For the peace of my mind that comes to me
Cause Im living drama free
Can you give me one bit of rest?
Gotta say you didnt pass the test
I thought about it but you aint Gods best
Youre just not what I need
Tried to run a stupid game on me
Im not blind I see quite clearly
Cant have you disrespecting me
So Im gone just like the breeze
Can you give me just one bit of space?
Girl I love you but youre driving me insane
Gossiping always into trouble and then
You want me to justify
Tired of hearing stories, he said, she said
Tired of hearing bout the crazy things you did
Would you listen to me just once or twice?
Make a difference in your life
But you dont now
Bridge:
Ive made changes I know you see
No more old this is my new leaf
Leaving behind all thats stressing me
Needlessly, drama free
(Oh oh oh) Can you hear me?
(Oh oh oh) Can you feel me?
Its not that I dont care about it
Its just that Ive got to do without it
(One) My choice to just be done
(Two) Hope I made it clear to you
(Three) Something that works for me
(Four) Dont want the drama no more

Return
Why did I give you my soul
When I knew thered be nothing in return
You forgot what its like
Now theres nowhere left to run
Maybe maybe you can hear it in the words I say
Cause I dont like what I see
And I been living with it everyday
So make it now
Or turn around and change your ways
Dont take me
Dont take me down that lonesome road again
Cause I dont think no no
O dont think that I could take the strain
Yeah Im breathing out
But I surely wont be giving in
Yeah yeah
Come on and take me on home

The More I Believe
The life that Ive been living
From the day I first drew breath
Has been my way of forgetting
Im on the journey to my death
You make my soul rise up
You make my eyes to see
When I place my faith in you
And I lose my belief in me
The less I believe in me
The more I believe in thee
The less I believe in me
The more I believe in thee
I dont believe in beads or crystals
Instant karma or mother earth
I dont believe that what I think
Makes any difference to what Im worth
I dont believe in reincarnation
Im not coming back as a flower
I dont bow my head to kings or priests
cos I believe in your higher power
The less I believe in me
The more I believe in thee
The less I believe in me
The more I believe in thee
Oh youve given me a plan
That I dont understand
cos Ive wandered over half the world
But Ive remained an ignorant man
One thing that I know
Is when the final bell tolls
Human love wont be enough
Good deeds cant save my soul
Well Im not afraid of dying
But I am afraid of you
Because you hear me when Im lying
And you see the things I do
So the hands go round the clock
As the light goes from the room
And I cant help thinking to myself
Im going to find out much to soon
Oh youve given me a plan
That I dont understand
cos Ive wandered over half the world
But Ive remained a ignorant man
One thing that I know
Is when the final bell tolls
Human love wont be enough
Good deeds cant save my soul
I believe etc. etc......

When I Turn Off The Living Room Light
Who cares if youre jewish,
And your breath smells of garlic,
And your nose is a shiny red light.
To me you are gorgeous,
And everythings right,
When I turn off the living room light.
Your clothes are old-fashioned,
Your knuckles are bony,
Your hair looks a terrible sight.
But I dont have to see you,
The way that you are,
When I turn off the living room light.
When I turn off the living room light.
I dont have to see you,
The way that you are,
When I turn off the living room light.
Well its not that you are ugly,
And Im not being cruel,
It helps me to relax, dear,
It helps to keep me cool.
Now I am not intending,
To make you feel ashamed,
Whats wrong in me pretending?
cause you cant help being plain.
Your nose may be bulbous,
Your face may be spotty,
Your skin may be wrinkled and tight.
But I dont want to see you,
The way that you are,
So I turn off the living room light.
We dont feel so ugly,
We dont feel so draggy,
We dont feel so twisted up tight.
And we dont feel as ugly as we really are,
When we turn off the living room light.
When we turn off the living room light.
We dont feel as ugly as we really are,
When we turn off the living room light.

Lady Grinning Soul
Shell come, shell go. shell lay belief on you
Skin sweet with musky odour
The lady from another grinning soul
Cologne shell wear. silver and americard
Shell drive a beetle car
And beat you down at cool canasta
And when the clothes are strewn dont be afraid of the room
Touch the fullness of her breast. feel the love of her caress
She will be your living end
Shell come, shell go. shell lay belief on you
But she wont stake her life on you
How can life become her point of view
And when the clothes are strewn dont be afraid of the room
Touch the fullness of her breast. feel the love of her caress
She will be your living end
She will be your living end
She will be your living end
She will be your living end
She will be your living end

Who Are They?
They say not to have too much fun
They say not to get too much sun
Democrat, republican
I guess Im screwed, Im neither one
Dont say hell, say what the heck
Do whats politically correct
Dont pray in school, but have safe sex
Isnt that what they expect?
Who are they?
Yeah you know what they say
Who are they?
Someone I gotta pay
Who are they?
Theyre probably living in la
And I dont care anyway
Who are they?
They probably own the village voice
The nashville scene, the peoples choice
To me its all a bunch of noise
Decided on by funny boys
They say who does and dont belong
They say our hairs too short or long
They say whos right and who is wrong
As if well all just come along
Who are they?
Yeah you know what they say
Who are they?
Someone I gotta pay
Who are they?
Theyre probably living in la
And I dont care anyway
Who are they?
Well I wonder if theyve got a life
A broken car and two ex-wives
Do they drink beer on friday night
I wonder if they like to fight
And I wonder if theyve got a soul
Or if they like their rock-and-roll
Where do they live, Ive got to know
So I can tell them off
Or where to go
Who are they?
Yeah you know what they say
Who are they?
Someone I gotta pay
Who are they?
Theyre probably living in la
And I dont care anyway
Who are they?
