Tinkering Folding Keeping Scattering
tinkering
it is something that you like
to know what really is there
inside the complications of things
folding
how can you spend so much time
folding clothes
that you never used
and keeping them
again in that closet
that you seldom open
like a party that you tender only once in a year
and scattering
what is it this time that you want to do?
what is it that must take you back
something to do
a reason to live after another tinkering
that have caused you
sorrow
fold them back and keep them
they are useless
and there is a need for you to be open again
breathe some hidden perfume
inside the cabinet of old clothes
come back and tell me
what did you see there?

Beg Me
Take one more step and its over
Back up slowly inside
Breathe too loud and Ill kill you
Get down on your knees and beg me
Beg me, beg
Beg me, beg me, beg
Take off all of your clothes
Lie face down on the bed
Move one inch and Ill shoot you
Make like a woman and beg me
Beg me, beg
I said, beg me, beg me, beg
Every night on tv
I see things that should make me blush
Looks like its going to be another open season
Open season on us
Open season, open season on us
Its the first hot day of the summer
Looks like theres gonna be thunder
Ive been sitting here all afternoon
Watching the clouds
You can see the sky from my window
Can feel the wind and smell the rain
And I dont see what difference it makes
If Im a man or a woman

Oh My Gosh!
Oh my gosh!
Here we are...
Washing,
Clothes.
Oh my gosh!
Here we are...
Nose to nose.
And,
Washing clothes.
Folding the sheets we laid on.
Together you and I...
After a wetness sweated us,
In a rocking that followed with sleep.
To awaken after we slept.
Welcomed by a dawning Sun...
To greet us in the morning,
With a glowing on our faces...
Shown to be done.
And OH my gosh!
Here we are,
Washing clothes.
Nose to nose and folding sheets.
Something tells me,
A togetherness is certain.
Something else tells me...
You will have me ironing the curtains,
If I don't put my foot down...
To speak up to say,
This 'sweetness' I may display today...
Is a rarity witnessed,
You will one day see...
Is not part of my personality.
Like you,
I will not be left impressed.
Just because we had another night...
Of unexpected delicious sex!
'Honey...
I can't believe we've been together,
For more than twenty years! '
I know. I know!
I'll iron those curtains,
When I get back home...
Okay?
'Anything for you, dear.
You know that! '

I Wanna Be Your Baby
Open your self, let me inside
Open your arms, I have nowhere
To go, so let me in to you
I need to be where nothing can hurt me
Open your legs, to let me crawl
Inside of you, I need to be
Inside your womb, so take me home
Inside of you, envelope me, Im home
I wanna be your baby
Bringin me down
Bringin me down
Open your lips and take me in
I need to be inside within
Let me become a part of you
Let me inside of you, swallow me whole
I want to know the things you hide
I want to feel the things you feel
I want to breath the air you breathe
I want to live inside of you, take me
Bringin me down
I wanna be your baby
Let me live inside

Hiding
Inside I am hiding.
Inside I am fighting.
I am fighting to hide how I really feel.
I don't want you to know what is real.
So I try my hardest to hide my depression.
I burry very very deeply within.
But I know you see it in my eyes.
And when you do I hope you die.
I want you to feel the pain i caused.
I want you to be wronged.
I helped you through heartbreak
You just caused mines to break.
Every time I let it heal up.
Somone rips it right back up.
So I hope what you've done comes back on you in ten fold.
I hope the rest of your life is dark and cold.

All Or Nothing
I hope you can hear this
A song for the way that I feel tonight
Were tired and fearless
And run out of places left to hide
So come along
Were better off dead
If we cant live for something
Im in all or nothing
I might be going under
But Im not going back
This time, all or nothing
Never stop to wonder
No turning back
Im all out of reasons
For keeping it all locked up inside
Theres no use in waiting
Im laying it out there on the line
So bring it on
Right or wrong
Theres nothing left for me to lose so
Im in, all or nothing
I might be going under
But Im not going back
This time, all or nothing
Never stop to wonder
No turning back
So come along
Were better off living like
Its all that weve got
Im in, all or nothing
I might be going under
But Im not going back
This time, all or nothing
Never stop to wonder
No turning back

Inside Out
Inside out, ooh you got me inside out
Oh inside out, oh inside out
Now everybody keeps on telling me how to be
And everybody tells me do what they say
Oh Ill help myself its up to me and no-one else
But till Im ready just keep out of my way
Inside out, ooh you got me inside out
Oh inside out, oh inside out
Now everybodys got me running round, up and down
And here I am going out of my mind
But I wont lose sight of all the, the things Im looking for
Theyre coming to me and Im taking whats mine
Inside out, ooh you got me inside out
Oh inside out, oh inside out
Ill play the game
Well make the same mistakes
Its all the same
If we can give and take
Hold on, hold on, ooh
Hold on, hold on, ooh
Inside out, ooh you got me inside out
Oh inside out, oh inside out
All of my life Ive been searching and hanging on
Turning a corner, never know what Id find
But now Im back again like I never went away
Ooh let me in Im through with wasting my time
Inside out, ooh you got me inside out
Oh inside out, oh inside out
Oh inside out, ooh you got me inside out
Oh inside out, oh inside out

Where Or When
When youre awake
The things you think
Come from the dreams you dream
Thought has wings,
And lots of things
Are seldom what they see
Sometimes you think youve lived before
All that you live today
Things you do come back to you
As though they knew the way
Oh, the tricks your mind can play
It seems we stood and talked like this before
We looked at each other in the same way then
But I cant remember where or when
The clothes youre wearing and the clothes you wore
The smile you are smiling you were smiling then
But I cant remember where or when
Some things that happen for the first time
Seem to be happening again
And so it seems that we have met before
And laughed before
And loved before
But who knows where or when
It seems we stood and talked like this before
We looked at each other in the same way then
But I cant remember where or when
The clothes youre wearing and the clothes you wore
The smile you are smiling you were smiling then
But I cant remember where or when
Some things that happen for the first time
Seem to be happening again
And so it seems that we have met before
And laughed before
And loved before
But who knows where or when

Asthenia
Last night it came as a picture
With a good reason, a warning sign
This place is void of all passion
If you can imagine it's easy if you try
Believe me I failed this effort
I wrote a reminder this wasn't a vision
This time where are you Houston
Is somebody out there will somebody listen
Should I go back should I go back should I
I feel alone and tired
Should I go back should I go back should I
I hope I won't forget you
My head is made up of memories
Most of them useless delusions
This room is bored of rehearsal
And sick of the boundaries
I miss you so much
Should I go back should I go back should I
I feel alone and tired
Should I go back should I go back should I
This time I don't want to
Should I go back should I go back should I
I feel alone and tired
Should I go back should I go back should I
I hope I won't forget you
Should I go back should I go back should I
I feel alone and tired
Should I go back should I go back should I
This time I don't want to
Should I go back should I go back should I
I feel alone and tired
Should I go back should I go back should I
I hope I won't forget you

Shoe Box
If I take away all my sadness
And cut off all of my problems
While my concerns are blown away
My happiness fits in a shoe box
A size ten shoe box
If I eat my fears with sugar
Then clean my sorrows with alcohol
And I hang my tears to dry
My happiness fits in a shoe box
While I shoot dead my illnesses
And smoke up my doubts
I will bury my insecurities
Then collect my happiness in a box
In a shoe box I keep my smiles
And every time I laugh
I fold my laughter up
Then put it inside my box
Every time my box fills up
I open it up
And let my happiness run loose
Like a smiling drunken goose
If I take away all the bad
And I count every time I had some fun
My box fills up pretty fast
With memories that make me laugh
I only keep my happiness in a shoe box for a little while
I know is not worth it to hide it from the wild
I am the happiest when I’m happy
I laugh the hardest when I love
I learned to look at the brightest side
Happiness is not something you can just go on and hide
I live both with tears and laughters
I just choose to keep my smiles
Tragedies make sweeter my laughter
And tears make my smile much stronger
Happiness is a conscious decision
I have chosen to make this decision
In a shoe box I’ve been keeping my smiles
And every time I laugh
I’ve been folding my laughters up
Then putting them inside my box

I Wanna Go Back There
Theres a place in my mind thats suspended in time
When we were happy in love
Days warm and sweet, and the night so complete
Then life was perfect for us
It was just you and i, only love in our eyes
Not a sign of a tear on our face
No sorrow, no pain, only sunshine, no rain
Before something else took its place
Oh, I wanna go back there
Back to the time there was no doubt you cared
Back to the time love was tender and fair
I wanna go back there, I wanna go back there
Doop-do-do-do, doop-do-do-do-do
I wanna go back there
Doop-do-do-do, doop-do-do-do-do
I wanna go back there
Do you think if we tried we could put life aside
And see if we might make it back
I know in my heart what we had at the start
I believe it could still be like that
Oh, I wanna go back there
Away from these heartaches, these worried and cares
Back to the time love was tender and fair
I wanna go back there, I wanna go back there
Doop-do-do-do, doop-do-do-do-do
I wanna go back there (say you care)
I wanna go back, I wanna go back
I wanna go back there
Doop-do-do-do, doop-do-do-do-do
I wanna go back there
Doop-do-do-do, doop-do-do-do-do
I wanna go back there, I wanna go back there

Inside
Inside the doors are sealed to love
Inside my heart is sleeping
Inside the fingers of my glove
Inside the bones of my right hand
Inside it's colder than the stars
Inside the dogs are weeping
Inside the circus of the wind
Inside the clocks are filled with sand
Inside she'll never hurt me
Inside the winter's creeping
Inside the compass of the night
Inside the folding of the land
Outside the stars are turning
Outside the world's still burning
Inside my head's a box of stars I never dared to open
Inside the wounded hide their scars, inside this lonesome sparrow's fall
Inside the songs of our defeat, they sing of treaties broken
Inside this army's in retreat, we hide beneath the thunder's call
Outside the rain keeps falling
Outside the drums are calling
Outside the flood won't wait
Outside they're hammering down the gate
Love is the child of an endless war
Love is an open wound still raw
Love is a shameless banner unfurled
Love's an explosion,
Love is the fire of the world
Love is a violent star
A tide of destruction
Love is an angry scar
A violation, a mutilation, capitulation, love is annihilation.
Inside the failures of the light, the night is wrapped around me
Inside my eyes deny their sight, you'd never find me in this place
Inside we're hidden from the moonlight, we shift between the shadows
Inside the compass of the night, inside the memory of your face
Outside the walls are shaking
Inside the dogs are waking
Outside the hurricane won't wait
Inside they're howling down the gate
Love is the child of an endless war
Love is an open wound still raw
Love is a shameless banner unfurled-acapo

Four Letters
Four letters suffice to code life’s story -
monocell to Man ‘in all his glory’.
Pandora’s box is henceforth open wide.
Who knows what plagues or miracles inside
will string the future as both young and hoary
within new spiral spin? Few hunky-dory
may find tomorrow as without true guide
Fools, we break ground, rules, cause tsunami tide,
or earthquake premonitory -
not only warning salvatory.
Is man omniscient, tinkering inside
DNA seen as 'Drive Nature Aside',
self-catalyst for causal time-bomb burst
as Chronos swallows humankind head first?

The Key And The Closing Of The Door
half open, you signify a little doubt
about what to do,
there is this dichotomy about leaving and entering
at the middle of a decision,
one stops to ponder whether who at the end is hurt
will it be just myself? or someone else,
someone you like to love but cannot
then you go outside and close the door behind you
locking it and taking the key
you own the world now, what is inside that room
no one can take away,
in this case, there is the decision to come back
until the mind
settles for the big thing
whatever is it
you cannot say it
for the meantime that you still have the key in your hand
time passes. You let it simmer
defrost the hardness of the cold
then you come back and open the door again
nothing taken, but this time you leave the key under the rag
and you tell somebody,
the one you love, that the key is there
and it is all
hers.
that is the saddest thing that you can do.
but i know, inside, it is the happiest thing that you have done in your entire life
ever.

Clothes Line
After a while we took in the clothes,
Nobody said very much.
Just some old wild shirts and a couple pairs of pants
Which nobody really wanted to touch.
Mama come in and picked up a book
An papa asked her what it was.
Someone else asked, what do you care?
Papa said, well, just because.
Then they started to take back their clothes,
Hang em on the line.
It was january the thirtieth
And everybody was feelin fine.
The next day everybody got up
Seein if the clothes were dry.
The dogs were barking, a neighbor passed,
Mama, of course, she said, hi!
Have you heard the news? he said, with a grin,
The vice-presidents gone mad!
Where? downtown. when? last night.
Hmm, say, thats too bad!
Well, theres nothin we can do about it, said the neighbor,
Its just somethin were gonna have to forget.
Yes, I guess so, said ma,
Then she asked me if the clothes was still wet.
I reached up, touched my shirt,
And the neighbor said, are those clothes yours?
I said, some of em, not all of em.
He said, ya always help out around here with the chores?
I said, sometime, not all the time.
Then my neighbor, he blew his nose
Just as papa yelled outside,
Mama wants you t come back in the house and bring them clothes.
Well, I just do what Im told,
So, I did it, of course.
I went back in the house and mama met me
And then I shut all the doors.

The clothes back in those days were made so much better than clothes are today. They actually took time to make clothes to fit a woman's body. Today they make clothes that fit sizes, so it stretches to fit this and that.

Freedom 90
I wont let you down
I will not give you up
Gotta have some faith in the sound
Its the one good thing that Ive got
I wont let you down
So please dont give me up
Because I would really, really love to stick around
Heaven knows I was just a young boy
Didnt know what I wanted to be
I was every little hungry schoolgirls pride and joy
And I guess it was enough for me
To win the race? a prettier face!
Brand new clothes and a big fat place
On your rock and roll tv
But today the way I play the game is not the same
No way
Think Im gonna get me some happy
I think theres something you should know
I think its time I told you so
Theres something deep inside of me
Theres someone else Ive got to be
Take back your picture in a frame
Take back your singing in the rain
I just hope you understand
Sometimes the clothes do not make the man
Chorus
All we have to do now
Is take these lies and make them true somehow
All we have to see
Is that I dont belong to you
And you dont belong to me
Freedom
Youve gotta give for what you take
Freedom
Youve gotta give for what you take
Heaven knows we sure had some fun boy
What a kick just a buddy and me
We had every big-shot goodtime band on the run boy
We were living in a fantasy
We won the race
Got out of the place
I went back home got a brand new face
For the boys on mtv
But today the way I play the game has got to change
Oh yeah
Now Im gonna get myself happy
I think theres somethig youshould know
I think its time I stopped the show
Theres something deep inside of me
Theres someone I forgot to be
Take back your picture in a frame
Take back your singing in the rain
I just hope you understand
Sometimes the clothes do not make the man
Chorus
Well it looks like the road to heaven
But it feels like the road to hell
When I knew which side my bread was buttered
I took the knife as well
Posing for another picture
Everybodys got to sell
But when you shake your ass
They notice fast
And some mistakes were build to last
Thats what you get
I say thats what you get
Thats what you get for changing your mind
And after all this time
I just hope you understand
Sometimes the clothes do not make the man
Ill hold on to my freedom
May not be what you want from me
Just the way its got to be
Lose the face now
Ive got to live

I Wanna Get Back With You (feat. Tori Amos)
I was a fool to say the things I said,
I just lost my head.
Made you cry, made you go,
I didn't mean to be so cold.
I had no right mistreating you that way
And oh, how could I know the price I'd pay?
Sorry I ever caused you pain.
Sorry I, sorry I said those hurtful things.
But baby, all that really matters now is
I wanna get back with you.
Just give me one more try.
I wanna get back with you.
Just stop this hurt inside.
I gotta get back with you.
I been walking down these cold and lonely streets.
I been losing sleep
Had to prove I was strong but every night,
Every night just proved me wrong.
Had to think I had heaven right here in my hand
And oh, just let it slip away like sand.
Oh, gimme one chance to make it right.
One more chance, one more chance back in your light.
'Cause baby, all that really matters now is
I wanna get back with you.
Hold me just like before.
I wanna get back with you.
Taking me somewhere warm.
I gotta get back with you.
Baby, I'd give my soul
Just to hold one more time,
Just to look in your eyes.
'Cause right now I'm half alive
No matter what I do
There's no living without you,
can't you see baby?
I wanna get back with you.
Just give me one more try.
I wanna get back with you.
Just stop this hurt inside.
I gotta get back with you.
Hold me just like before.
Taking me somewhere warm.
I wanna get back with you, babe.
I wanna get back with you, baby.
I wanna get back!
I gotta get back with you!
Oh, take me back!

Waggy
Watching your house shrink away in my rear view mirror
as I drive away
wishing that I could take back all those words that meant nothing
that I didn't say
I'm trying to be what you want me to be
But it's so damn hard to keep playing the part of the fool
week after week
I think you need some time alone
You say you want someone to callyour own
Open you eyes
you can suck in your pride
you can live your life all on your own
I this all going to be just another time
that we play this game
I've tried to convice you that things could be different
but somehow they end up the same
But what did you expect from me
What am I supposed to do
you say that you're starting to fell like you're getting lost
Well I do too
I'm not gonna live this lie again
I know I'll get it right but I don't know when
I'll open my eyes
Iv'e got somethin inside
I'll just jack off in my room until then
It's never over till its done
and I don't think that you're the one (4x)
