Poison Moon

Cut loose in a nightmare, cast off in my dreams
If home is anywhere that I can hang my hat
Then its coming apart at the seams
My luck is hanging upside down
I try to hold on tight
But moneys rolling out of town
And love slips right out of sight
And these bones, they dont look so good to me
Jokers talk and they all disagree
One day soon, I will laugh right in the face of the poison moon
You look in the mirror
Im sorry, but it cant be replaced
Youre thrown straight out in that cruel parade
Buttoned down and laced
It starts like fascination, it ends up like a trance
Youve gotta use your imagination on some of that magazine romance
And these bones--they dont look so good to me
Jokers talk and they all disagree
One day soon, I will laugh right in the face of the poison moon
One day soon, I will laugh right in the face of the poison moon

Poison Moon (Honky Tonk Demo)

Cut loose in a nightmare
Cast off in my dreams
If home is anywhere that I can hang my hat
Then it's coming apart at the seams
My luck is hanging upside-down
I try to hold on tight
But money's rollin' outta town
And love slips right outta sight
Chorus:
And these bones, they don't look so good to me
Jokers talk, and they all disagree
One day soon I will laugh
Right in the face of the poison moon
You look in the mirror
I'm sorry but it can't be replaced
You're thrown straight out in that cruel parade
Buttoned down and laced
It starts like facination
It ends up like a trance
You gotta use your imagination
On some on that magazine romance
-chorus-
One day soon I will laugh
Right in the face of the poison moon

Poison! Poison!

Poison I breathe, poison I eat,
And poison poison I do drink,
Poison are my thoughts, poison are my acts,
Poison are my sleeps, poison are my dreams,
My blood is poison, poison is my flesh,
And poison poison are my bones.

Wherever I move
I envenom my fellow beings,
And enlarge my kingdom,
This is how my life goes on,
Living in the world: all poison poison.

Put Yourself In My Place

(ransford)
So you gotta put yourself in my place
I dont want to lose face
People talking round town
Telling me that youve been putting it round
That your love for me
So they say
Its hard to realize
That I love you this way
So you gotta put yourself in my place
Dont want to lose face
Coz youre telling these lies
Everyone will think its no surprise
That youre leaving me today
I never thought that Id see you walking away
So you gotta put yourself in my place
Dont want to lose face
So your friends turn their backs
And laugh at me
Well you just tell them
That our love could never be
And so you gotta now
Put yourself in my place
Break
So you gotta now
Put yourself in my place
Dont want to lose face
Why dont we both take a chance
Im sure that if we tried we could save our romance
Ill never understand what you did to me
Why dont you realize that Ill never be free
And so you gotta
Put yourself in my place
Dont want to lose face
No no no no no no (lose face)
Listen to me baby (lose face)
Come on come on
You gotta try
Lose face

Face To Face

We never talk to one another
We just disagree
Im the one who runs for cover
And you turn your back on me
They say nothings gonna last forever
But some things are worth fighting for
Yeah, well love could bring us back together
But love dont come round here no more
The words unspoken in the night
Locked away in my heart
And Im feeling out of place
But if love is the key
Let it open the door
So well be standing -- face to face
You never want to see me face to face
Think it over
Face to face
If only it could be just face to face
Baby you and me
Face to face
I may be better off without it
I cant go on this way
Time has come to talk about it
This is our judgement day
You know we swore it would last forever
Always felt so sure it would
But its looking like now or never
Time to turn a bad thing into good
The words that echo in the night
Theyre fading away
And theyre gone without a trace
Now its up to you and me
Lets open the door
And meet each other -- face to face
Its time we saw each other face to face
To talk it over
Face to face
You know its gotta be just face to face
Baby you and me
Face to face
We gotta see each other -- face to face
And talk about it
Face to face
Hope it aint too late to meet face to face
Just you and me
(solo)
Face to face
Its time we saw each other face to face
To talk it over
Face to face
You know its gotta be just face to face
Baby you and me
Face to face
We gotta see each other
Face to face
And talk about it
Face to face
I hope it aint too late to meet
Face to face
Dont turn your back on me
Face to face
Its time we saw each other
Face to face
To talk it over

Please Let Me Please You

(hicks / clarke)
What did you do today
You turned the other way
I tried to kiss you,
But you laughed in my face
Its a thing to do
Knowing that I love you
Dont be to hasty;
The tables will turn
Please, please, please,
Let me please you
Please let me please you
Please let me, louise
Please, please, please,
Let me please you
Please let me please you
Please let me, louise
Why are you different now
Did I hurt you somehow
If so, then tell me,
But dont laugh in my face
If I said something strong,
Ill admit I was wrong
Come on and tell me,
But dont laugh in my face
Chorus
I always treat you right
Why do you wanna fight
Go if you want to,
But dont laugh in my face
If I try kissing you,
Dont make me out a fool
Come and tell me,
But dont laugh in my face

Moon Rocks

Flying saucers, levitation
Yo! I could do that
Get ready, for heavy duty
Go one, give it a chance
I saw your hair start to curl
So get up, write it down
You better wait for a while
So take your hands out of your pockets
And get your face adjusted
I heard it, somebody lied
And Im staring out the window
Gonna let this thing continue
In its natural time
Roundheads squareheads
Get settled in
You can hear my belly rumble
Theres a voice that starts to mumble
Woo! its starting to sing
Protons, neutrons
I ate a rock from the moon
Got shicked once; shocked twice
Lets see, what it can do
Man in the moon, moon in the man
I got a rock in my throat
Upside, up side down
My tummy start to talk . . . (what it say? )
Gonna rock it till I shock it
Gonna kick it till I drop it
Woo! love at first sight
You can kick it, you can poke it
Ooh, I think you broke it
What about that!
Skin from a snake, blood from a stone
You know, that aint no lie
I got hundreds of expressions
Try to make a good impression
Woo! right between the eyes
I dont mind - let me go
Sounds inside - I dont know
Let me be - why not stay
I feel numb - let me play
I got wild imagination
Talkin transubstantiation
Any version will do
I got mass communication
Im the human corporation
I ate a rock from the moon
Moon in the rock, rock in the moon
Theres a moon in my throat
You might think Im wasting time
You might laugh but not for long
Hey! Im working it out . . . (work it out)
I dont mind - let me go
Sounds inside - I dont know
Let me be - why not stay
I feel numb - let me play

Poison Heart

No one ever thought this one would survive
Helpless child, gonna walk a drum beat behind
Lock you in a dream, never let you go
Never let you laugh or smile, not you.
Well, I just want to walk right out of this world,
'Cause everybody has a poison heart
I just want to walk right out of this world,
'Cause everybody has a poison heart.
Making friends with a homeless torn up man
He just kind of smiles, it really shakes me up.
There's danger on every corner but I'm okay
Walking down the street trying to forget yesterday.
Well, I just want to walk right out of this world,
'Cause everybody has a poison heart.
I just want to walk right out of this world,
'Cause everybody has a poison heart,
a poison heart, a poison heart, a poison heart ... yeah!
You know that life really takes its toll
And a poet's gut reaction is to search his very soul
So much damn confusion before my eyes,
But nothing seems to phase me and this one still survives.
I just want to walk right out of this world,
'Cause everybody has a poison heart.
I just want to walk right out of this world,
'Cause everybody has a poison heart,
Well, I just want to walk right out of this world,
'Cause everybody has a poison heart.
a poison heart, a poison heart, a poison heart.
a poison heart, a poison heart, a poison heart.

Poison

Your cruel device
Your blood, like ice
One look could kill
My pain, your thrill
I want to love you but I better not
Touch (dont touch)
I want to hold you but my senses
Tell me to stop
I want to kiss you but I want it too
Much (too much)
I want to taste you but your lips
Are venomous poison
Youre poison running through my
Veins
Youre poison, I dont want to
Break these chains
Your mouth, so hot
Your web, Im caught
Your skin, so wet
Black lace on sweat
I hear you calling and its needles
And pins (and pins)
I want to hurt you just to hear you
Screaming my name
Dont want to touch you but
Youre under my skin (deep in)
I want to kiss you but your lips
Are venomous poison
Youre poison running through my veins
Youre poison, I dont wanna
Break these chains
Poison
One look could kill
My pain, your thrill
I want to love you but I better not
Touch (dont touch)
I want to hold you but my senses
Tell me to stop
I want to kiss you but I want it too
Much (too much)
I want to taste you but your lips
Are venomous poison
Youre poison running through my
Veins
Youre poison, I dont wanna
Break these chains

I want to love you but I better not
Touch (dont touch)
I want to hold you but my senses
Tell me to stop
I want to kiss you but I want it too

I want to taste you but your lips
Are venomous poison, yeah
I dont want to break these chains
Poison, oh no
Runnin deep inside my veins,
Burnin deep inside my veins
Its poison

It Only Makes Me Laugh

I dont know why I feel this way
I dont know if its right or wrong to laugh at misfortune
Darkness can never last too long
Every time I think Im falling
And theres nobody around to hold me up
And it seems like the world has come to an end
I look for miles but not a face is friendly
Then suddenly a hole opens up in the ground
The bottom of the hole is a raging fire
I try to jump over but theres no way
The next thing I know, Im going down
(chorus)
Does it hurt?
Oh, it really doesnt matter
Does it burn?
Oh, I dont feel a thing
Does it sting?
Oh, yeah, it really doesnt matter
Does it hurt?
Oh, I dont give a damn
When I find myself falling and I hit the bottom
It only makes me laugh
It only makes me laugh
When I go down the hole and I hit the bottom
The last time that I fell in love
The love was milk and honey but the milk turned sour
The woman became a monster
And everyone I knew had become a stranger
And the room went black and my luck was spent
The floor opened up, down I went
(repeat chorus)
It only makes me laugh
It only makes me laugh
It only makes me laugh
Coming right back
Coming right back
cause you cant keep me down
Cant keep me down
Oh, in the ground
Does it hurt?
Oh, it really doesnt matter
Does it burn?
Oh, I dont feel a thing
I dont mind just a little pain
Ooh, oh yeah
Whoa...
Remembering when I was a young man
How everything seemed to turn against me
I didnt know a soul, it was an alien place
The sun was covered by a dark cloud
And though I tried, I couldnt find a way to escape
The only way to go was straight down
(repeat chorus)
It only makes me laugh
It only makes me laugh
It only makes me laugh
It only makes me laugh
I dont know why I feel this way
I dont know if its right or wrong to laugh at misfortune
Darkness can never last too long...
When you laugh in its face
When you laugh in its face
I dont know why I feel this way...

Poison

(l. stansfield/i. devaney/a. morris)
Spoken:
Dont worry about me, baby
Whenever you walk by me, I can here you breath
I can smell the love you made when you were gone
Darlin dont deny it, or make excuses
Ive heard too many lies, to know that Im not wrong
Baby dont insult me
Im too tired to let it hurt me
Baby just believe me
And give me back my key, and set me free
Chorus:
Keep youre body to yourself, or give it to somebody else
Youre poison
Cant you you see Im far to tough to let it hurt
Ive had enough of your poison
Dont lay your hands upon me
Just crawl back where you came from
I shutter at the thought of you touching me
Youve stained the love I gave you
Baby, not for long
So much I could have given you
But now youll never know
Baby dont insult me
Im too tired to let it hurt me
Baby just believe me
And give me back my key, and set me free
Chorus
Got bad habits on your mind, youre underhanded
Im not blind to your poison
Spoken:
Dont make me laugh, youve told so many lies
And of all the lies you told me, baby, youre the biggest
You think youve hurt me
Im far too strong to let it get to me
Cant you see that Im not crying anymore
So just get off my back, and leave me alone

Open Up

Say you know youve got to run
You know youve got to hide
You dont know who to follow
Or who is on your side
You dont know where youre goin
You wont talk of where youve been
And I may see you tomorrow
Or nevermore again.
And Ive seen you in the cities
Ive seen you on the road
And your face is all a-twisted
cause your brain is a heavy load
And then you turn and ask me
Say how will I ever know
And you talk of all your searchin
But I think its all for show
Open up my friend
Love someone if you can
Go on, let her in
Open up again.
And I hear your mournful songs
I hear your painful crys
And Ive seen the light of hunger
Linger deep within your eyes
And you talk about your sinkin
And what a hole youre in
You expect for me to love you
When you hate yourself my friend.
And youve got yourself a potion
Oh to keep you from your sleep
In that dark and lonely hour
Well Ive heard you laugh and weep
But youll always be a-runnin
Runnin till you find your doom
cause you never face your lonely soul
You never face the gloom.
Open up my friend
Love someone if you can
Go on, let her in
Open up again.

Straight To The Moon

You got lucky
Walking cross a crowded room
The cameras went from wide to zoom
And caught you in the act
Well now, youve got something
Something we could really use
If we could get you on the evening news
And spruce up the facts
Wed go straight to the moon
Planting the seeds
And then watching them bloom
But isnt it strange
What gets thrown up
Comes right back down again
Snuck out the back
With nancy and the philistines
Quotes from rolling stone magazine
Dribble from her mouth
Oh now, please dont tell me
Let me have this one surprise
If I come back a million years from now
Can I keep my scalp
I go straight to the moon
Planting the seeds
And then watching them bloom
But isnt it strange
Once it goes out
It comes right back again
Ooh, we go straight through the moon
Turn on the tv and youre in the cartoons
Ooh, but isnt it strange
Once it goes out
It comes right back again
Your co-conspirators
Open up the secret door
And now the truth is out
What are we gonna do about it
Im not much on second hand information
Sycophantic recreations
Have been down with the smile
Now I rolled up my sleeves
And took off my good shoes
You cant get in and get loose
Without getting dirt in your eyes
Ooh, you go straight to the moon
Planting the seeds
And then watching them bloom
Ooh, isnt it strange
Once it goes up
It comes back down again
Ooh, its too much too soon
Turn on the tv and Im in the cartoons
Ooh, isnt it strange
What gets thrown up
Comes right back down again
Ooh
Ooh, straight to the moon
Turn on the tv and theres a cartoon
If it makes you happy

Sweet Talk

I see your face in
The magazine stand
I wanna hold you in the palm
Of my hand
I love everything about you
Youre such a long way away
Your sweet talk
Aint enough for me
I may be deaf, but youre
Too blind to see
Youre gonna break my bones
With your feminine tones
But I dont wanna hear
Your sweet talk tonight
Not again tonight
When I call tonight
Dont wanna hear your
Sweet talk tonight
I hear your voice on the radio
Its gettin so bad I dont know
Which way to go
Why dont you wake up girl
Youre such a long way away
Your sweet talk aint enough
You see
I need a woman
Whos a woman to me
Youre gonna break my bones
With those feminine tones
But I dont wanna hear
Oh, I dont wanna hear it
Not tonight
Youre gonna break my bones
With your feminine tones
But I dont wanna hear
None of that sweet talk tonight
Oh, not again tonight
When I call tonight
Sweet talk tonight
Not again tonight
When I call tonight
Dont wanna hear your sweet talk

Sometimes There's Three

There’s two sides to every story
And sometimes there’s three
You can take a trip around the world
To simply cross the street
I know, ‘cause that's what happened to me

Laugh, laugh
Even the jester has to laugh
When everything turns upside down
It sometimes helps to laugh

There's two paths on every journey
And sometimes there's three
You can meet your fate on the same road
You took to avoid it
I know, 'cause that's what happened to me

Laugh, laugh
Even the jester has to laugh
When everything turns upside down
It sometimes helps to laugh

And at the crossroads, don't turn and look away
Let it kiss you on the face
And then have a laugh

There’s two women in your life
And sometimes there’s three
You can make a wish upon a star
Only to find it land in your street
I know, ‘cause that's what happened to me

Laugh, laugh
Even the jester has to laugh
When everything turns upside down
It sometimes helps to laugh

There’s two people fighting for your mind
And sometimes there’s three
Each mask you wear at different times
Till one fits comfortably
I know, ‘cause that's what happened to me

Laugh, laugh
Even the jester has to laugh
When everything turns upside down
It sometimes helps to laugh

And at the crossroads, don' turn and look away
Let it kiss you on the face
And then have a laugh

Flesh & Blood

If you never plan to come out of your shell, youre never gonna get well.
I understand your reasons not to.
What you dont know is what youre afraid of.
And Im afraid of it too
But can I even talk to you again?
Oh part of me wants to call you up, and talk to you like a friend.
And theres a part of me that wants to shut you out
And never see your face again.
Chorus:
How can we be like enemies when were only flesh and blood?
What does it take to make your heart bleed, daddy arent we enough?
You can get through theres nothing stopping you from getting to us
No one can take a way the fact that were only...flesh and blood
For years Ive been following your case, its the only time I see your face
And weve learned to live without you.
Who you dont know is who youre afraid of
And were afraid of you too
But will we ever talk to you again?
Oh part of me wants to call you up, just talk to you like a friend
Theres a part of me that wants to shut you out
And never see your face again.
(chorus)
I want to make you laugh, and I want a chance to know you better.
I want to hear you sing beside me now.
Were just like you.
(chorus)
I want to make you laugh, I want a chance to know you better
I want to hear you sing beside me now... flesh and blood
I want to make you laugh (want to make you laugh), and I want a chance to know you better
I want to hear you sing beside me now
Im a part of you, and I miss you.
A song for you, for only you.

The Jokers Wild

Sound the trumpets for the princess and her fool
A joke, a jester just to make her smile
Silver bells on his hat and on his pointed shoes
Tears rolling down his cheeks
As he dances in the aisles
Watch the little funny man stand on his head
Watch the silly minstral with his empty arms spread
His life hanging by a thread
The jokers wild
Cant you see by his eyes
The jokers wild
Cant you see through his disguise
The jokers wild about you
Watch him juggle on one foot
Maybe a riddle for a damsel in distress
Hes just a clown in a court of thieves
Who conspire for a kiss
Its off with his head dare he show his loneliness
Watch the little funny man walk on his hands
See the little princess laugh as hard as she can
Her every wish is his command
The jokers wild
Cant you see by his eyes
The jokers wild
Cant you see through his disguise
The jokers wild about you
Watch the little funny man stand on his head
Watch the silly minstral with his empty arms spread
His life hanging by a thread
The jokers wild
Cant you see by his eyes
The jokers wild
Cant you see through his disguise
The jokers wild about you

Hey Jesus

Hey jesus its me
I dont usually talk to you
But my babys gonna leave me
And theres something you must do
I am not your faithful servant
I hang around sometimes
With a bunch of your black sheep
But if you make my baby stay
Ill make it up to you
And thats a promise I will keep
Hey jesus its me
Im the one who talked to you yesterday
And I asked you please please
For a favor but my babys gone away
Went away anyway
And I dont really think its fair
Youve got the power to make us all
Believe in you
And then we call you in our despair
And you dont come through
Hey jesus its me
Im sorry
I dont remember all I said
I had a few, no, too many
And they went straight to my head
And made me feel like I could argue with god
But you know its easy for you
You got friends all over the world
You had the whole world waiting for your birth
But now I aint got nobody
I dont know what my lifes worth
Im not gonna call on you any more
Im sure youve got a million things to do
All I was trying to do
Was to get through to you
Get through to you
Because when I die and I get up to your doors
I dont even know if youre gonna let me in the place
How come I gotta die
To get a chance to talk to
You face to face

I Am A Mirror

Lead vocal: leo sayer
Suppose I were to tell you that the meaning of dreams
Is not all that it seems and the ultimate truth is a lie.
And you are just a puppet who can dance on a string.
Do you feel anything?
Would you laugh? would you care? would you cry?
But the meaning of life is a mystery, how can anyone disagree?
And the music is a symphony which we play in a minor key.
I am a mirror. I am a mirror. looking at me you see yourself
I am a mirror. I am a mirror. every face is someone else.
Look at me smile and youre the clown. and if I dance you turn around.
Look in my eyes and see your tears until the music disappears.
So if you are confused and dont know which way to go.
You will certainly know. from the moment were living we die.
And if its all a crazy game you dont want to play
Tell me what you can say.
Its a joke. its the truth. its a lie.
But the meaning of life is a mystery that we dont understand.
And the music is a rhapsody if youre happy the way that you are.
I am a mirror. I am a mirror. looking at me you see yourself
I am a mirror. I am a mirror. every face is someone else.
Look at me smile and youre the clown. and if I dance you turn around.
Look in my eyes and see your tears until the music disappears.
And the meaning of life is a mystery though we live it from day to day.
But the music of live should be harmony so that anyone here can play.
I am a mirror. I am a mirror. looking at me you see yourself
I am a mirror. I am a mirror. every face is someone else.
Look at me smile and youre the clown. and if I dance you turn around.
Look in my eyes and see your tears until the music disappears.

Tonight & Forever

You know youre gonna have to face up to the facts
Youre just another face in a big crowd
You know we gotta try hard to relax
We can laugh - but not too loud
Its never like you see in a magazine
And you dont even know what you mean to me
And I dont understand this feeling
But wanna be with you tonight
Tonight and forever
You drive me crazy and you say that youll never change
And I could never do what you want to
Dont you find this whole thing a little strange
I dont even know if I like you
Its never like you see on a movie screen
But theres something that you do to me
And Im not sure that I believe it
But I wanna be with you tonight
Tonight and forever

Poison Ivy

Nothing can compare
Two weeks I stared
Hands, hand tied
I got an itch
I call her poison ivy
It can kill
Hey hey, oh well
I've got an itch
I call her poison ivy
It can kill
Oh, well
Poison ivy
Poison ivy
Poison - hey hey hey hey
Took my youth
Everything that ever meant something
Nothing comes between me and you
Most of my friends
Most of my friends
Are dead because of you
Poison ivy

Poison - hey hey hey hey

But to love you
