Self-centered
you started it
and i was just trying to put the finishing touches
and then you cried foul
and call me names
i am just returning what
you have given
and then you said it was dirty
and so unbecoming
of me
you feel that you are a star in your own universe
so be it
burn yourself to death
with that self-made glitter of yours
i am a pebble that you have disregarded
i stare and i do not know how to laugh

Ambition
what i hold inside my pocket is just a pebble.
it is all that i have now.
i take it again put it on the table and look at its face closely
you know that it has no eyes
or hands or feet, i let it stay there as though there is only one pebble
in this universe of sands, i listen.
i let time stop for a while.
i look at the sky tonight and there are so many stars.
they are so distant you know that and you feel that
i take the pebble back in my pocket,
there will be no exchange, it is enough for my anchor
it is now my own rock.

Down And Dirty
She's a dancing girl who brings up the heat
Hits on all the men
She knows how to move and make you feel
Like you want to get into sin
A chocolate bar was going really far
Really made me catch my breath
So she had an unordinary glance
I got down tools in the chest
Down and dirty
You're down and dirty, alright
She's down and dirty
You're down and dirty
She twisted her ass around drinks
While the dirty works the girl's booty
Whispered in my ear what I want to hear
Says, "Come with me baby, let's play." (Okay!)
She went to the back to get her traps
My sixth sense was bothering me
She came to work and something I heard
Makes me want to get comfy
Down and dirty
She's down and dirty, alright
Get down and dirty
Get down (Listen)
Down and dirty
Woo!
Alright
Ooh yeah
Well there's something going on
Something I've never known before
Leather and lace is all that I can see
I lost my power of will
You know she should be still
Never thought I'd get hit by some teen, no
I start to bleed, have mercy on me
I'm feelin' a bit distressed
What you're doing to me is so obscene
Got myself into a mess
She started to dance, I grabbed my pants
Found my way to the door
Hot on my trail, a thousand females
Saying, "Baby, more more more!"
Down and dirty
(Hurt me)
Down and dirty
(Well, well, well)
Down and dirty
(Oh yeah)
Get down and dirty
(She is)
Get down (Down)
Get dirty (Dirty)
Take me down (Alright)
One more
Get down (Oh yeah)
Get dirty (Turn around)
Get down (Come over here)-

I Know, I've Been There!
in each heart
there is a universe
never before seen, ...
i know, i've been there!
in each soul
there's a photograph of God
that's unlike any other, ...
i know, i've been there!
in every mind
a dream different but the same,
a thought that finishes, needs finishing, ...
i know, i've been there!
in every destiny
an individual path,
yet a part of the whole, ...
i know, i've been there!
in every hidden longing
names put to faces,
and hands put to touch, ...
i know, i've been there!
in every prayer,
the need both unique and shared,
both mortal and immortal, ....
i know, i've been there!
in every tear,
wept by every living being,
the call to return, to go home, ...
i know, i've been there!

I Ran Away
One, two, three... Will... (drum intro)
I ran away from you
Thats all I ever do
And though I started here
I ran away from you
Im gonna come on in
And see it through
I ran away from you
Thats all I ever do
And when I heard you call
Come back to me
I know I should stay
I dont have the stomach to
Everyone I know says
Im a fool to mess with you
Everyone I know says
its a stupid thing to do
I have your love on call
And yet my day is so full
There might be nothing left to do
So I ran away from you
Im gonna come on in
My eyes are closed
I can feel it there
The suns so close
Im gonna come on out
And burn the sky
A star arose in my own cage
Im stuck in life and in a cage
Just a single star
I sing for
Everyone I know
says Im a fool mess with you
Everyone I know
says its a stupid thing to do
I have your love on call
And yet my day is so full
And I did not know what to do
So I ran away from you

When you wish upon a star
Dont let yourself fall, fall in too hard
I fell into you and Im on my back
An insect decaying in your little trap
I squirm into you, now Im in your gut
I fell into you, now Im in a rut
i lift you up like the sweetest angel,
Ill tear you down like a whore.
I will bury your God in my warm spit,
Youll be deformed in your porn
Rock star, yeah (youre such a dirty, dirty)
Rock star, yeah (dirty, dirty, dirty)
You eat up my heart and all the little parts
Your star is so sharp
It leaves me jagged holes
I make myself sick just to poison you
If I cant have you then no one will

You are the one I want and what I want is so unreal
Im such a dirty rock star yeah...

It Is Strict
A saw a star fall on the half we call the West,
And then a star rose, farther than the eye,
Faster on the space it travelled, kissing us on the face,
Opening its heat and radiation, just in reliance of us.
I saw you stare in the mirror called the Universe,
And saw halves and quarters of bodies and planets;
Up in the light, again in silence, a star roared when seen
Again in the sights of people who bred, bled and believed.
I may see a unique actor, a single actress see another man
Who watches, with faults and perfections.
I can endure them with my emotions, bless them,
As though they were my family, but never.
The universe is strict in its family, as the acts it contains
Are only from a maker, a breeder by best standards;
One who does more than beget, more in a furnace
And a missile is discharged.
He wants to disgrace the stars if they blink,
But why do you cry when it is strict?

I Enjoy The Reflections Of Your Light
i enjoy the reflections of your light
from a distance
where you burn when you see me looking at you
i enjoy your flame
in blue, red, and green and orange hues
it is warm from where i stand my hands feel you
i go near you i may burn like you and may hurt myself
but it does not matter now i have nothing to protect from hurting
i have nobody to comfort me
i have no choice but to burn
myself with you
and those who simply watch love and how lovers pain themselves
even to the edge of death
in conflagration
in the passage of time
rotten and to dust returning
they will not remember anything.

You, You, You!
you call me this
you call me that
do you feel better
because i feel like $#it.
you made me cry
you made me mad
do you care?
because i don't think you do.
you just laugh
you just point
is it really that funny?
because it really not.
i let you get to me
i let you see
is that what you want?
because it what you got.
maybe next time
i can only wonder
do people ever change?
or do they remain the same.

Every Frog Has His Day
[King:]
Oh mellifluous dwarf
prince of all the jesters
Funny little thing you are
Make me laugh
As God's voluminous star
[Hop Frog:]
Gracious majesty
Today is not made for laughter day
This moment sacred is more for royal sunsets
Then comic ruin or suicidal jests
[King:]
I'll be the judge of that thank you
Make me laugh le petite cur
Drink some wine
Lest you foul sweet time
[Hop Frog:]
Drink upsets me
please your liege
This would mark the death me
[King:]
I said drink you scabrous whore
Are you deaf as well as short?
[Tripitena:]
Kingdom's Sire
big as you are
Save such
bile for larger foes
[King:]
Make me laugh
'Fore I stretch your neck like a giraffe

Man Gave Names To All The Animals
Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, in the beginning.
Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, long time ago.
He saw an animal that liked to growl,
Big furry paws and he liked to howl,
Great big furry back and furry hair.
Ah, think Ill call it a bear.
Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, in the beginning.
Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, long time ago.
He saw an animal up on a hill
Chewing up so much grass until she was filled.
He saw milk comin out but he didnt know how.
Ah, think Ill call it a cow.
Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, in the beginning.
Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, long time ago.
He saw an animal that liked to snort,
Horns on his head and they werent too short.
It looked like there wasnt nothin that he couldnt pull.
Ah, think Ill call it a bull.
Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, in the beginning.
Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, long time ago.
He saw an animal leavin a muddy trail,
Real dirty face and a curly tail.
He wasnt too small and he wasnt too big.
Ah, think Ill call it a pig.
Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, in the beginning.
Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, long time ago.
Next animal that he did meet
Had wool on his back and hooves on his feet,
Eating grass on a mountainside so steep.
Ah, think Ill call it a sheep.
Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, in the beginning.
Man gave names to all the animals
In the beginning, long time ago.
He saw an animal as smooth as glass
Slithering his way through the grass.
Saw him disappear by a tree near a lake . . .

A Star Burst
As a star
burst,
throwing
off
many
tiny
sparkles.
We make
our
entrance
into
this
universe.
Each
seeking
the
doorway.
Are we
so
different?
I don't

Coming
from
the same

Returning
to the

Together

Creating

Far beyond

The Pyro Maniac
A pyro with a flame.
Just writing your name in the sand.
Time tics by and fire after fire does not end the desire.
It's passion.
It's love.
It's a child's laughter.
Nothing left untouched.
As he makes his mark.
Personal and distant.
He's lived it.
Through the the fires eyes.
He can't help it.
He just want to watch everything burn.
Burn, Burn, Burn.
He speak to the eternal flame.
And she rise from the ashes.
Back again just the same.
Glowing so bright, so hot.
So appealing he can not ever turn away.
A obsession everyday.
No he doesn't care.
His mind is most certainly else where.
He can't help it
He just wants to watch everything burn.
Burn, Burn, Burn.
As holy body it rises from the grave.
As a scientific miracle it saves.
Staving off the cold.
Turning something into nothing.
It's just so amazing.
Captivating.
A star studded glaze.
An everlasting stare into nowhere.
Exhilarating is the feeling he gets.
Ever single time.
He can't help it.
He just wants to watch everything burn.
Burn, Burn, Burn.
He's a maniac.
No doubt it.
Completely reckless to t.
But its his divinity.
His saving grace.
His ace.
And he has a constant need to play it.
Even if someone dies.
He's not worried about it.
It off to the next.
He can't help it.
He just wants to watch everything burn.
Burn, Burn, Burn.
Yeah just burn, burn, burn, oh burn.

When Death Calls
He saw the world, dim with the glow of the vertical sun
His skin crept cold knowing that this was the hours of dying
Misguided mortals, youll burn with me
Spirit of man, cannot be freed.
When death calls - this is the hours of dying
When death calls - the spirit of man cannot be freed
When death calls - theres no tomorrow
When death calls - just an evil shadow
Tell me not fear of the flames means that heaven is closer
For I believe satan lives, in the souls of the dying
Misguided mortals, youll burn with me
Spirit of man, cannot be freed.
When death calls - heaven is closer
When death calls - feel the heat of the flames from the souls of the dying
When death calls - here it comes, here it comes, here it comes
When death calls - youre gonna burn
Dont look in those sunken eyes
Dont look and youll stay alive
Dont laugh at the face of death or your toungue will blister
Cant die until satan says you die
And satan takes your soul
In the face of death or your toungue will blister
Dont look in those sunken eyes
Dont look and youll stay alive
Dont laugh at the face of death or your toungue will blister
Cant die until satan says you die
The devil takes your soul
With all his wrath he calls the reaper
When death calls - this is the hours of dying
When death calls - the spirit of man cannot be freed
When death calls - theres no tomorrow
When death calls - just an evil shadow
When death calls - feel the heat of the flames from the souls of the dying
When death calls - youre gonna burn, burn, burn
When death calls - heaven is closer
When death calls - I can feel it, gonna take you down

Burn That Bridge
Burn that bridge
By: jimmy buffett, michael utley, will jennings
1984
Im not sayin Im scareda you
But your kinda love is somethin new
When I hold you were swayin in the wind
Of all the bridges Ive ever crossed
High and lonesome and wild and lost
I feel this time Ill take it to the end
We dont care what the people may say
If theres a price its the price well pay
Chorus:
And well burn that bridge when we come to it
Burn that bridge when we come to it
Burn that bridge when we come to
Burn it down
Burn it down
We both done our share of runnin around
So we know enough to know the kind of love weve found
Its the real thing and weve got to see it through
Im a singer and a sailor on a midnight sea
(oh captain come and take me on your fantasy)
If were crazy that aint nothin new
cause we dont care what the people may say
If theres a price its the price well pay
Chorus:
And well burn that bridge when we come to it
Burn that bridge when we come to it
Burn that bridge when we come to
Burn it down
Burn it down
Who knows how it started
Who knows it end
The point of no return is waiting
Just around the bend
Chorus:
And well burn that bridge when we come to it
Burn that bridge when we come to it
Burn that bridge when we come to
Burn it down
Burn it down
Chorus:
Yes well burn that bridge when we come to it
Burn that bridge when we come to it
Burn that bridge when we come to
Burn it down
Burn it down
Burn it down
Burn it down
Burn it down
Burn it down
Burn it down

About You Then
YOU WERE a pebble
on the road
it was muddy
and it rained, and
i picked you from
that unspeakable
mess, and
i kept you warm in
my hand
even talked to you
and i polished you
and people
adored you until
you transformed into
a star
and you acquired
light
and speed and you
found your place in the
skies
at night you shine
like any other
star
you are so distant
and
untouchable
my palms miss you
my eyes can
only have the look
my heart
can only have
that lightness
when you were once
a pebble
inside my
hold.

Hands Of Death (Burn Baby Burn) (feat. Alice Cooper)
? sometimes? the wicked ones
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? the mortal sting
I am the only one
? across the dreary plane?
? i am watching?
Across the crucified
So few are chosen
I do not die
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? horrified
And seat yourself a ride
Get out of your denial
A genius of the night
? and I am watching?
Across the crucified
So few are chosen
I do not die
In the hands of death
Burn baby burn
In the hands of death
Burn baby burn
In the hands of death
Burn baby burn
They creep and crawl inside
Into the heart of cold
So dead and paralyzed
Perversion of the soul
? i am watching?
Across the crucified
So few are chosen
I do not die
In the hands of death
Burn baby burn

Love Is Like Clock Law
This heart is empty
Ive barely hidden memories
Ive found a picture that haunts me again
Ive no sad expression
Ive no tears in my eyes
But I am the clown who forgot how to laugh
I wonder, does she think of me?
I wonder, I wonder
I wonder, does she call my name?
I cried
Dont leave me here alone
I cried
Dont leave me, dont leave me
Love is like clock law
Tick tock my heartbeat
I was a passion that passed her spare time
This room is prison
Love doesnt come here
These quiet nights will slowly kill me
I wonder, does she think of me?
I wonder, I wonder
I wonder, does she call my name
I cried
Dont leave me here alone
I cried
Dont leave me here alone
I cried
Dont leave me, dont leave me
Dont leave me, dont leave me

Dont leave me, dont leave me here
Im quite alone

A Mockery
how does it feel to be mocked at?
children chase you and laugh at you,
and call you crazy
you react, you want to be a child
and wanting to play and they mock you further
you're big enough to be their monster cookie
your friends say there is something wrong with you
in fact, everything is wrong
your nose not in its place and your face is twisted
at your back they say
this man is crazy
he must be reported to the police
one day you find your family disregarding you
you have become Kafka's cockroach and shall suffer
the same fate
as his short story
you are shooed
and outside you go
you walk by the side of the river and still whistle like
a man disregarded by the world
a cockroach, a pig, a crazy man on the street
returning to the big mountain deep in the forest
where no one sees you
you look at yourself on that still pond in the middle of this valley
you wonder
it is their face
you are the children playing
you are the image of your family
and they all look crazy too
in that solitude
you become yourself away from them
sane and yes, too poetic to behold
laurels on your head
flowers in your hair
dews on your skin
song in your lips
