Blinded By The Sun
I met a woman in West Virginia
Said her name was Alabama
She from a little town outside Savannah
Where everyone talk that country grammar
She said she killed a man down in Atlanta
He beat her and he drank til he couldn't stand up
He told her that he loved her but he couldn't stand her
She caught him in his sleep hit him with a hammer
Then she sold her car and she bought a gun
Johnny Law got her on the run
Another broken bottle and the damage done
We've all been blinded by the sun
Blinded by the sun...
Her breathe was sweet, her eyes were pretty
She said her zodiac sign was cancer
She was on her way to New York City
Trying to get a job there as a dancer
Then she asked if she could ride home with me
Now I'm still thinking on the answer
She pulled on love She don't take pity
She'll break your heart if you give her the chance to
If Grandma's got an Uzi and it weighs a ton
Johnny Law got her on the run
Another broken bottle and the damage done
We've all been blinded by the sun, blinded by the sun
Sunsunsun
Lord have mercy on me for all the things I've done
I've lost my mind, my eyes were blinded by the sun
Don't forsake me Lord I'm not the only one
I've lost my mind, my eyes were blinded by the sun
Blinded by the sun
And Grandma's got an Uzi and it weighs a ton
Johnny Law got her on the run
Another Broken bottle and the damage done
We've all been blinded by the sunblinded by the sun.

Blinded
i told myself i love him
i told myself he's not mean, they just don't see the real him...
i thought to myself if he's a mistake, he's one worth walking into
i thought he was perfect, the one, mine forever and ever....
now i realize...i was just blinded.....
BLINDED by all the love
BLINDED by all the sweet things he told me
BLINDED so much that couldn't see the real him that was smacking me in the face saying DONT YOU NOTICE ME? ! ?

i feel so stupid for think i actually loved him...
i feel so stupid for being so BLIND.

Blinded By A Lie
I got the information from a friend last night
And it looks so very different in black and white
I was part of the second party, that was me
Signed away my life, really couldnt see
* blinded by, blinded by a lie
Blinded by, blinded by a lie
I know its just the price you pay
I know youre nothing
* repeat
Now you listen closely, dont you go away
Theres a cut of something, in what I have to say
You keep the full deck from me, mr. percent
Through the legal jungle, whos the one thats bent?
* repeat
I know its just the price you pay
I know youve nothin to say
And oh boy every dog has its day
I know youll be the one to pay

And now I see that I was

Blinded
Just an old friend coming over
Now to visit you and
That's what I've become
I let myself in
Though I know I'm not supposed to but
I never know when I'm done
And I see you fogging up the mirror
Vapor around your body glistens in the shower
And I wanna stay right here
And go down on you for an hour
Or stay and let the day just fade away
In a wild dedication
Take the moment of hope
And let it run
Never look back
At all the damage we have done now
To each other
To each other
To each other
But when I see you
It's like I'm staring down the sun
And I'm blinded
There's nothing left to do
and still I see you
I never believe that things that they happen for a reason
And they never go as planned
I wanted to thank you for a vision that was lost that you returned
But you're past where you understand
Now her appetite is blown
Little else is known
'cept she's a little angry
Grabs a towel, looks away
The heat fades with the day
And I fall down on what to say
oh something clean, let me be clever
Hey oh well, whatever
But that's not what I mean
Where we're been has left us burnt still
I wont turn now from a fight
You know I'll never win
cos when I see you
you know all the things I've done
and I am blinded
Like I'm staring down the sun
When I see you
When I see you
When I see you
It's like I'm staring down the sun
Yeah!
(Hey! I'm Blinded!)
Time it passes and it tells us what we're left with
We become the things we do
Me, I'm a fool spent from defiance, yeah you got me but
I didn't give up on you
But the rest is not a t-shirt or a swan song, no
Heat is born again and
It's not easy being me
When I can't promise I will mend
Or bend when you believe
That we are fixed now from our birth
And I've just fallen back to earth
Still you know I'll try again
Cause I believe that we are lucky
We are golden
We have stolen manners in the days when we were one
So when I see you
In spite of all that we've become
I'm still blinded
But I'm still staring down the sun
When I see you
When I see you
When I see you
When I see you
Oh yeah
I'm still staring down the sun
Oh yeah
I'm still staring down the sun
Oh yeah
Well I'm still staring down the sun
I'm blinded
When I see you

Live Is Blind
I tried to give you love
That was ever flowing
I tried to give a love
That could be so true
But you wanted less
Than I had to offer
What was I to do
I tried to bare a soul
That would swear devotion(?)
I tried to promise dreams
I would make come true
But you said that love was
A game for children
Here I stand, a fool
Love is blind
Blinded by love
You're all I can see in my eyes
My mind says, stop
But my heart says, go
And oh, how it hurts to find
It's true when they say that
Love is blind
Love is blind
I told myself if there
Was a chance to show you
Just how good a love affair could be
But love was something that
You had never given
I just couldn't see
I closed my eyes to all that
You never gave me
(???)My heart didn't wanna see
How you played around
And how well you showed me
How wounded love can be
Love is blind
Blinded by love
You're all I can see in my eyes
My mind says, stop
But my heart says, go
Oh, how it hurts to find
It's true when they say that
Love is blind
Love is blind

Your love is wicked (parody)
(with apology to Koos A. Kombuis)
When you are crying
I want to strive
to be in your shadow
to feel the pain in everything,
every morning when I rise
I stumble over my bed
and chest of drawers
and when I have nausea from drinking
then I only want to eat
when you are with me,
at times I want to taste you
like wild berries
and even in my dark moods
I want to fall
deep into you
I want to make you stop
when you whisper
about the words
of evil sailors
and I want to go along
when you walk the streets
as a part of your neuroses
your favour is almost honourable
and totally unrestrained
your honour is without guilt
blinded by sin,
blinded without comfort,
blinded from love
and totally immoral
yesterday just like you
I went astray
in your urges
for a long time
with a lot of skeletons
without any phobias
or songs
it teems with LSD
and you tell
without asking
and the message that I am getting,
is that you are
a sweet mother in Africa
I curse
at every sign
of another guy
that fits over you,
I curse
just now
when I was shaking
your favour is almost honourable
and totally unrestrained
your honour is without guilt
blinded by sin,
blinded without comfort,
blinded from love
and totally immoral
It’s a sweet-berry daybreak
that is happening while we are together
its cry out upon cry out
without any point in mind
and why the hell
are you going home
while immorality eats you up?
I want to show you pain
deep in my heart
but you have got to wait
and nobody else
may hold onto you,
the old guy is upon you
with your applause
but he’s not holding
unto your buttocks
I want to make you stop
when you whisper
about the words
of evil sailors
and I want to go along
when you walk the streets
as a part of your neuroses
your favour is almost honourable
and totally unrestrained
your honour is without guilt
blinded by sin,
blinded without comfort,
blinded from love
and totally immoral.

Blinded By Rainbows
Did you ever feel the pain
That he felt upon the cross
Did you ever feel the knife
Tearing flesh that's oh so soft
Did you ever touch the night
Did you ever count the cost
Do you hide away the fear
Put down paradise as lost
Yeah you're blinded by rainbows
Watching the wind blow
Blinded by rainbows
Do you dream at night
Do you sleep at night
I doubt it
Did you ever feel the blast
As the semtex bomb goes off
Do you ever hear the screams
As the limbs are all torn off
Did you ever kiss the child
Who just saw his father shot
Do you ever shed a tear
As the war drags on and on
Do you ever touch the night
Or is it just another job
Do you feel the final hours
Put down paradise as lost
Yeah you're blinded by rainbows
And faces in windows
Blinded by rainbows
Do you dream at night
Do you sleep at night
I doubt it
Do you ever fear the night
Could it be the war is lost
Do you fear the final hour
Do you kneel before the cross
You're blinded by rainbows
And watching the wind blow
Blinded by rainbows
Do you dream at night
Do you scream at night
Do you smell of fear
Is your conscience clear
Are you caked in sweat
Are your clothes all wet
Do you see the light
Is the end in sight
See the face of Christ
Enter paradise
I doubt it

A Love to Hate
Is it getting clearer...
For those who fear to be themselves.
They who have entertained disrespect,
To the point where none is left.
Inspected in depth...
Or quests requested!
Blinded they are like fools on crack!
Using tools of fools to keep themselves back.
Blinded they are like fools on crack.
Or a black cat who can't stop giving 'bad' vibes,
An image to attack!
Blinded they are like fools on crack!
Seeking a shoulder to cry on...
And a pat on their backs!
Blinded they are like fools on crack.
Trying in doped slickness,
But losing themselves...
With weakened backbones attacked!
Is it getting clearer...
For those who fear to be themselves.
With a fear that endears them,
With a love to hate!
Berating unappreciated wisdom at stake!

Blinded By Love
The queen of the Nile
She laid on her throne
And she was drifting downstream
On a barge that was burnished with gold
Royal purple the sails
So sweetly perfumed
And poor Mark Antony's
Senses were drowned
And his future was doomed
He was blinded by love
He was blinded by love
The Philistines paid
For Samson's blind rage
The secrets that two lovers share
Should never have been betrayed
He was blinded by love
He was blinded by love
Now it's no use crying or weeping
You better lock up your soul for safe keeping
Promise me
The poor Prince of Wales
He gave up his crown
All for the trivial pursuit of
A parvenu second-hand lady
So lovers beware
If you lose your heart
Careful now

Stardust
Our hearts rule our heads
when it comes to love,
often we leap before we look
and many times disaster occurs
when we are blinded by
the stardust in our eyes.
We see things we want to see
and not what is really there,
we walk the tightrope of love
rushing head long without a care
and get blinded to reality
by the stardust in our eyes.
We stumble on the tightrope
get hurt when we fall,
but climb back on again
when we get more
stardust in our eyes.

Breathe
I know I said I couldn't breathe without
you
I lied and was blinded by that thing
called love
You are gone and I breathe just fine
Oooohhh aaaahhh
See, my lungs are just fine
How are you though?
Don't give a darn about you anymore
But have you had dinner though?
Really mad at you right now
I know I said I could breathe fine without
you
I lied and was blinded by that thing
called hurt
Your touch broke me, why did you have
to go?
I'm still on the floor where I lay
The day I heard you were gone away
My heart still hits the ground
Each time love makes a sound
I know I said I could breathe
I'm sorry I lied again
For the day you left and went your way
You took my breath away
The way you did when we first saw
And the way you did when we first
kissed
And the way did when we first talked
And the way you did when we first
laughed
And the way you did when we first
fought
And the way you did the day you first
died.

Blinded by science, where do I belong?

Im worried by all the confusion
I wonder bout the lies Ive been reading

Is this a road going nowhere?
Or is someone leading us somewhere?
I cant believe were here for no reason
There must be something we can believe in

Seeking Reason
Slowly I get the feeling...
I love the way you move.
Gee baby,
And your attitude...
Oh honey,
What would I do?
If you decide to leave me...
On the streets.
And,
All alone to feel so...
Incomplete to weep.
In a weakened state of mind.
And,
Blinded by ill disposition!
And,
Without a night of sleep...
Seeking-more-than-reason!
Oh...
All alone to feel so...
Incomplete to weep.
In a weakened state of mind.
And,
Blinded by ill disposition!
Slowly I get the feeling...

Rejoice The Sun
Rejoice The Sun
Every morning, when, we meet
You thaw in a smile
As the moon in a dawn,
From pleasure...and I smile also...
To the sun- as always is cheerful,
But, this morning is artful,
Has begun to shine still strongly,
It is more and more
Does not allow us that,
We might open our eyes,
For that to searched, each
Other to long as at night,
The sun want to laugh at us
As over blinded from its beauty....
You must joy by - the Sun,
We have blinded from you…

Prison Of My Mind
I am a seeker,
A seeker of truth.
Although I did not know this, until the day.
The day of my fall.
A life of living on the edge.
Every lie I bought,
Selling a little piece of my soul.
Each lie pushing me one step closer,
Until the balance was broken.
Over the edge I fell.
The fall was a rush.
An exhilarating free fall.
Plummeting so fast,
I could not see the destruction left in my wake.
Blinded by bad judgement.
My conscience.
Until I hit the bottom.
The sudden stop from the fall.
Leaving me shattered and broken.
A fragile piece of glass.
Crawling on my belly like a snake.
I go to my knees.
The truth reveals itself,
Putting together the pieces one by one.
Revealing each lie I had bought.
Until I was whole again.
Until I was new.
Now that I know the truth,
Everything else is a lie.
The lies pushed me off.
The truth lifted me up,
And pulled me to safety.
I was blinded by lies.
Truth cleared my vision.
It cleared my conscience,
And released me from the chains,
From the prison of my mind.

Johnny
Somewhere on the waterfront
Johnnys hiding with a gun
Swears hell kill any man that tells his story
Hes not sorry for what hes done
He broke into a drugstore
To cure his daily need
He didnt mean to shoot the guard
But he was blinded by the greed
Oh johnny
You see that nun, shes his sister
She doesnt know that hes gone bad
When they told it to his father
It drove the old man mad
Just as his mother warned him
From her dying bed
Its alright to lose your heart
But never lose your head
Oh johnny
Now the cops have got him surrounded
And he doesnt stand a hope
He wonders how he could be in so much trouble
Over just a little dope
Five to one he gets away
Thats the odds Im going to give
Five to four they blast him away
Three to one hes going to live
Oh johnny
Back in the alley where he was slain
I thought I heard something move
Beside the trash can lay a heart and chain
The picture had been removed
Just another juiced up junkie
Looking for a bed
Its alright to lose your heart
But never lose your head
Oh johnny

Broken
I am broken,
You just can't see it,
Maybe because you are blinded how happy I am pretending to be,
You broke me once,
Yet broke me twice,
Yet again three times,
and again four and five times,
Yet you don't see why I was taking you back,
It was cause I was falling in love with you,
Why did you have to go,
Why did you leave me with all this sadness, sorrow and agony
You left me with so much to say,
You had hurt me enough,
Why is that I can't get you off of my mind,
There is so many words I wanna say to you,
Yet it won't come out,
Why is that I am so alone,
I feel as if I am num,
Why can't you see that I am broken,
Broken with this heart break you had left me,
Yet I still have memories of you and I and how happy I used to be,
Why can't see that I did loved you and cared for you,
I guess it was fate that you and I don't belong with each other,
But I will always remain broken.

Thought Criminal
darkness again
sleeping upside down
on a pillow of nails
push it, smile
oh talk, talk, talk, talk, talk for a while
blinded, blinded
can't see a door in front of me
you open up, and walk all over me
a sin for a bottle of gin
drunken
flowers bloom in a high fashion season
it's all over me, all over me, greed
open up in my mind
oh so conned to be jerked back into the 50's
and become some macho scum that makes me bleed
oh why will you turn on me?
why do you smile like that?
darkness again
sleeping upside down
on a pillow made of nails
mental shock
mental shock
mental shock
all over me, is grief
you can't see
what will you do for money?
killing time with bullets in the night
oh right, oh right
what is right? to conquer?
or follow some path paved some years ago?
with no hope, no hope of any life
shine, shine my bleeding heart
i will dance one more time before i must go around
revision, the vision
of the cult of the ruling class that be
no government, bottle up in my mind
oh so conned to be jerked back into the 50's
and become some macho scum that makes me free
oh why do you betray me?
why do you smile like that?
over the back
and into a system of oppression
hurts so bad to be
expendable
