Whats The Use
Getting away from all the things that need doing
Lazily here to lose the afternoon
Lying around here on the ground
Its as close to getting up as I can go
Taking a chance to free myself from my worries
Cover them well enough and no one sees
Nobody knows until they show
And the only thing to do is try to cover them again
(*) hurry yourself, whats the use?
Mountains of wealth, I refuse
To be somebodys slave for a dime
Ive got plenty of mountains
Im lookin to find, spending my time
Lying around, here on the ground
Its as close to getting up as I can go
Pleasing myself is all that really needs doing
Everything else begins but never ends
Listen to me and youll agree
That a man is better off
If he has come to realize
Repeat (*) twice

Lying To Yourself
You tell me lies that you believe, you say its the real thing
I can see how youve deceived,
I know whats happening
And seeing is believing till you find out that youre blind
Youre lying to yourself, lying to yourself
Youre lying to yourself, lying to yourself
Wake up shake up turn around,
Ill give it to you straight it been too long its past a joke, something I cant take
The cost is due now tell me money aint the means
Youre lying to yourself,lying to yourself
Youre lying to yourself, lying to yourself
Lying to yourself again, youre lying to yourself again
Lying in the morning Ill kiss you goodbye
You wont regret a part of this and neither will i

One & Only (feat. Twista)
I'm lookin' for my one and only
Every time I turn around
I find my heart in pieces on the ground
So so lonely
I'm lookin' for my one and only
I'm riding home in pain again baby
But that don't mean s*** to you
You're currently engaged
In an intimate conversation
With a young groupie or two
They say "players only love you
when they're playing games"
Still I gave my heart to you
I should have stayed away
Like my friends all told me to
[chorus]
Every time I turn around
I find my heart in pieces on the ground
So so lonely
I'm lookin' for my one and only
Every time I turn around
I find my heart in pieces on the ground
Why can't I find my one and only
See I'm looking for a man that'll rub me slow
Make me sing real high
When he goes down low
But see it ain't just a physical thing
He's gotta treat me affectionately
And I gotta know he won't betray my trust
Just like every other motherf***** does
Is this just an impossible dream baby
To elusive to pursue
It's been such a sad and windy road for me
Just searchin' for the truth
[chorus]
Every time I turn around
I find my heart in pieces on the ground
So so lonely
I'm lookin' for my one and only
Every time I turn around
I find my heart in pieces on the ground
Why can't I find my one and only
Every time----oh-mmm
Every time I turn around
I find my heart in pieces on the ground
So so loney
Why---
I'm looking for my one and only
Every time I turn around
Agh---ha ha ha ha
I find my heart in pieces on the ground
Whey can't I find my one and only
Still lookin' for my one and only
Every time I turn around
Agh---ha ha ha ha
I find my heart in pieces on the ground
So so lonely
Yay-
I'm lookin' for my one and only
I'm lookin' for my one and only
Every time I turn around
Agh-ha ha ha ha
I find my heart in pieces on the ground
I'm lookin' for my one and only
Why can't I find my one and only
Agh--

Shes A Star
She comes to life from the cover of a hollywood magazine
With a sense of confidence hard to fight
She waits to be discovered
Underneath the cover of a neon night
Shes a star
All of my friends they got a bet she hasnt seen seventeen
I never been any good at playin the game
Id just love to give her what she needs besides fortune and fame
Shes a star
From the backstreets to the city
There youll find her lookin so pretty
First she buys you, then she sells ya
You know she wants you when shes telling you
*take me to the music
Out into the night
Drag me through the fire
Do it to me right*
She steps right out and grabs you like a cover girl photograph
Shell size you up then she hits you with those hollywood tears
But I dont need no close-up
To tell me she got style beyond her years
Shes a star
From the backstreets to the city
Youre gonna find her lookin so pretty
First she buys you, then she sells ya
You know she wants you when shes telling you

The Blue Ridge
STILL and calm,
In purple robes of kings,
The low-lying mountains sleep at the edge of the world.
The forests cover them like mantles;
Day and night
Rise and fall over them like the wash of waves.
Asleep, they reign.
Silent, they say all.
Hush me, O slumbering mountains -
Send me dreams.

Fundamental of Liar Chapter VIII: Love
Cineraria laughs at me in the dark
There's time when I dreamed
That you'll choose me to be loved
You start a lie that you don't know
I know the lie but I let it happen
Though I have this arm in my shoulder
My heart restlessly cries
Lies love lies
You and I are lying
We lying each other
We lying to ourself
We both repeat the lie to cover the lie
How can we be happy above the lie?
Then you know this love is lie
You're caring me just because you don't want to be hurt
To protect me but you actually protect yourself
Your warmth and tender is true but love me not
You still pretend to love me and keep lying
I keep lying pretend not to see
Your smile always seen sad
Your eyes seem want to apologize
This lie becomes a must to build our love
Lies love lies
We are loving because a lie
This is a perfect love of lie
So I take a lie to free you
I don't need this fake love
Because there's only one truth not lie
That I really love you

One thing is true you wont let me down

Your arms will reach me wherever my heart leads
Ill blindly believe youll

Mountains Othings
The life Ive always wanted
I guess Ill never have
Ill be working for somebody else
Until Im in my grave
Ill be dreaming of a live of ease
And mountains
Oh mountains o things
To have a big expensive car
Drag my furs on the ground
And have a maid that I can tell
To bring me anything
Everyone will look at me with envy and with greed
Ill revel in their attention
And mountains
Oh mountains o things
Sweet lazy life
Champagne and caviar
I hope youll come and find me
Cause you know who we are
Those who deserve the best in life
And know what moneys worth
And those whose sole misfortune
Was having mountains o nothing at birth
Oh they tell me
Theres still time to save my soul
They tell me
Renounce all
Renounce all those material things you gained by
Exploiting other human beings
Consume more than you need
This is the dream
Make you pauper
Or make you queen
I wont die lonely
Ill have it all prearranged
A grave thats deep and wide enough
For me and all my mountains o things
Mostly I feel lonely
Good good people are
Good people are only
My stepping stones
Its gonna take all my mountains o things
To surround me
Keep all my enemies away
Keep my sadness and loneliness at bay
Ill be dreaming, dreaming...
Dreaming...

Say Youll Be Mine
Chorus:
Do you wanna be in love forever
Do you wanna make my dream come true
Let me be the one to kiss and hold you
Say youll be my baby
Can you see the two of us together
Living in love this whole life through
Do you wanna be in love forever
Say youll be mine
I can remember
When my mind was clear and free
Now theres a feeling
Coming over me
The sweetest attraction
That my heart has ever seen
Im going crazy making sense of anything
(repeat chorus twice)
I really wonder
Is there magic in your smile
Taking me under
Got me acting like a child
Something about you
Hits me like avalance
I try to stand my ground
But I dont stand a chance
(repeat chorus)
Every time I close my eyes I deram about
Hugging you, holding you, kissing you boy
Its driving me crazy
But even if it takes forever
To win your heart and your love and your devotion
I know its gonna be worth the wait
Ooh, say youll be my baby
Ooh, be my baby
Ooh, oh darlin, say youll be mine
(repeat chorus)
Do you wanna, do you, do you wanna
Do you wanna be in love
Do you wanna, do you, do you wanna
Say youll be my baby
Do you wanna, do you, do you wanna
Do you wanna be in love
Do you wanna, do you, do you wanna
Say youll be mine

With loving protection
Guard your love
In every direction CHORUS
Don't give up
For fear of rejection
Stand your ground and voice an objection
Run away my sister and brother
Be afraid of love when the lover VERSE 1
Tries to read the book by the cover
Wrapped up in the arms of another
(Repeat chorus)
Cover up prolonging the yearning
Just ahead the fires are burning VERSE 2
Swim for shore the tides are now turning
Love the ones you love with your learning
(Repeat chorus)
Look ahead the futures depending
On the brave to now start defending VERSE 3
Tell the world the message you're sending
We don't need an unhappy ending

Got to be safe if you want to be free BRIDGE
To sit in the shade of the family tree

Lying Here With You
Time to wave the day goodbye
But I dont wanna hear no lullaby
Sandman takes his cue
And when the night is through
Ill be lying here with you
Close your eyes turn out the light
Say a prayer to see us through the night
Hope your dreams come true
When dawn turns into blue
Ill be lying here with you
Too much of something
Tends to spoil you so they say
But I cant get enough of you
I tell you something
I never listen to what they say
I only know what I must do
All our cares will drift away
Leave them all until another day
I dont really mind
As long as I can find
That Im lying here with you
Too much of something
Tends to spoil you so they say
But I cant get enough of you
I tell you something
I never listen to what they say
I only know what I must do
All our cares will drift away
Leave them all until another day
I dont really mind
As long as I can find
That Im lying here with you

The Truth Hurts
So the truth finally comes out
You finally see through all his games
And all his lies
You finally realize
That the only place he was every perfect
Was in your eyes
In that moment you realize
That every moment you shared meant nothing at all
And you've never felt like such an idiot
Or so incredibly small
And you realize
That you'd rather stay lying on the ground
Then get back up after taking that long, miserable fall
As your friends draw close to you
Even though you feel the pain start to set in
You fake a smile and say:
'I'm just glad I know the truth about him'
But when the lights go out
And your left alone
And down your cheeks slowly start to fall tears
The pain in your heart
Turns into a burning fire
That does nothing but sear
That's when you realize
That the hadest thing to do
Is accept what you know to be true
Because sometimes
Nothing hurts more
Than the truth

Concealment And Covering
you conceal so many things
for so many reasons
you cover them
for so many ratiocinations
you cover you cup of coffee
so it may not get cold that easily
in the same manner you cover your cooking pot
so it may get hot earlier and at least fuel
you cover your ears perhaps because there's so much noise
you cover your head because it may be so hot or there may be rain
you cover your book to protect it from stains
you cover your furnitures because there is so much dust
you cover your body, your heart, your mind
for so many reasons
to each his own because we want to survive we want to live
we want to be just left to ourselves in our chosen privacies
no one has ever said that survival is a crime, a sin, a wrong,
it is the most fitting thing to do, and you must do it too.

Every Time I Close My Eye
Everytime i,
Close my eyes
(2x)
Listen girl,
I dont know where to start
But every word I say,
Is straight from the heart
Ive been so wrong
Never meant to hurt you
Oh girl, Im sorry
Of what I put you through
Girl Id do anything for one more chance
(one more chance)
I want you back again
(want you back again)
Chorus:
cuz everytime I close my eyes
I see your face
And I wonder
When you close your eyes
Do you think about me
Now that I realize,
I want you girl, and no other
Everytime I close my eyes,
Youre all that I see
You and I shared it all together
Each other, with all wed ever need (all we ever need)
I thought that you would stay,
With me forever
But it took for granted
The love you gave to me
I keep on trying, keep on trying
til the end, til the end
Baby I need you right here with me
I need you here
Chorus
Girl Im going out of my mind
I miss you so much,
I dont know what to do (what to do)
Please stay
Its just a matter of time
til I feel your touch
til you let me come back to you
Think about you girl,
Every day and night Im in love
And it feels so right, Id never meant to hurt you
Or caused you pain
I was just callin up
In that lying game
But now those days are over
Ive changed our ways
And now Im counting the minute,
Im counting the days
til you let me come back
Till you let me start
To find a new way
To get back into your heart
Girl Id do anything for one more chance (one more chance)

Like Mountains Lying Far Away And Blue
Like mountains lying far away and blue
love stays constant; it does not become common,
it leaves impressions in the great remembrance
and of this there is something between you and me;
I can never gaze enough at you.
Like mountains lying far away and blue
of which the presence never fades
there is something that looks like true love,
it leaves impressions in the great remembrance
that clings to every other thought,
.as something that does not want to parish.
Like mountains lying far away and blue
your humanity stays eternally true to me,
your face is continually covered with a ray of sun,
it leaves impressions in the great remembrance
and even when your tears shines like drops of dew
our love does stay eternally glamorous,
like mountains lying far away and blue
it leaves impressions in the great remembrance.

Death Row
Let me out
Sorry son
Commit a crime - pay the price
Death row - whats that - no stay?
Oh! ok Ill tell him
Dead man walking
Weve all been detained
For the crimes weve committed
They stayed execution
But well never get acquitted
Waiting for the day when they strap us in
And when they pull the lever
Hear the goddamn screams
Shake with fear
Electric chair
Were all inside
Homocide related
Theyll show no mercy
And we dont anticipate it
We move a little closer
Every day to meet our maker
They cover up our face
And then they close the circuit breaker
Oh! no!
Shake with fear
Your time draws near
Oh! no! - I wont go
Youll never get me down to
Death row
Oh come on man
Give me a break
I made one mistake, thats all it takes
I aint that bad
I aint done nothing wrong
Shake with fear
The end is near
Oh! no! - I wont go
Youll never get me down to
Death row
Oh! no! - theyre taking me slow
One way ticket to
Death row
So whats the matter son
Too young to die
Take it like a man
Dont cry
Ha! ha! ha!
Oh! no! - I wont go
Youll never get me down to
Death row
Say a prayer, best beware
Its not very nice in the electric chair
Oh! no! - I wont go
Youll never get me down to
Death row
Oh! no! - theyre taking me slow
One way ticket to

Poison Sugar
(dennis knutson, a.l. doodle owens)
Hes tall dark and dangerous
Hes a love thief on the run
Hes a moonlight bandit
Brother to the devils son
Hell cover you with sweet talk
Tell you what you want to hear
Then hell take your smiling face
And hell cover it with tears
Oh they call him poison sugar
Cause theres poison in his kiss
Oh you ladies warn your daughters
About the stranger with the poison lips
His hands warm your body like the morning georgia sun
Youll think you found forever in his arms before hes done
With honey dripping off his words
Your passion takes him home
His lying lips wont tell you
Youll be waking up alone
Repeat chorus
You could find him on a dark street
You could meet him at the store
He could even wake you up
Knocking on your door
Well, Im talking from experience
Im a victim of his kiss
Im just one of the many
Hes loved and left like this
