[Verse 1]
My skin cries
My blood sighs
I still owe some dread on this hide
Following my trust in wonder I watch the circus begin
I can't ignore the scent of it - the scent of my screaming skin

My skin cries
My blood sighs
I still owe some dread on this hide

[Pre Chorus]
La la la la la la la
La
La la la la la la la

[Chorus]
I'm a multicellular individual
You're way out of proportion!
We've got the hemodynamic connection
Don't call me germ!

[Verse 2]
Allowing for my strength to muster
My losses begin to win
Tropical winds start to bluster, raising the fur on my skin
My skin cries
My spirits fly
But I still owe some dread on this hide

[Break]
Oh

[Verse 3]
Yeah!
I'm a multicellular individual
You're way out of proportion!
We've got the hemodynamic connection
And don't call me germ!
Swallowing my pride no longer, I take the forbidden sun
If I have been sculpted by hunger, I'm not the only one

My skin cries
My blood sighs
I still owe some dread on this hide of mine

[Pre Chorus]
La la la la la la la
La la la la
La la la la la la la la

[Chorus]
My skin cries
My spirit flies
But I still owe some dread on this hide
My skin cries
My blood sighs
And I still owe some dread on this hide of mine

[Outro]
My skin cries
My spirit flies
But I still owe some dread on this hide

[Verse 1]
In the beginning, in the days before time, the light was alive with the essence of power
And from that power were born beings who lived on the edge of eternity
And they spread their wings and soared through the ancient air
And the beating of their wings made the winds
And from the winds came the seas
And from the sea came the life of the earth

[Verse 2]
Nature's cast upon the sea the winds of past, of promise be
Waters deep uncover me
A scheme of sleep as lovers three

[Verse 3]
If you'll forgive me my ferocity, I won't forget your sweetness
Pull down the night, lay it before me
Gratify my head with curses

[Verse 4]
Night recalls tranquility
A curtain falls and sets it free
Darkness calls eternity
Down silent halls the shadows flee

[Verse 5]
If you'll forgive me my ferocity, I won't forget your sweetness
Pull down the night, lay it before me
Satisfy my head with curses

[Chorus]
Forgive and forget
Forgive and forget
Forgive and forget

[Verse 6]
Fates are cast upon the sea
The winds of past of promise be
Waters deep uncover me
A scheme of sleep as lovers three

[Outro]
Forgive and forget
Forgive and forget

[Verse 1]
She moves like she don't care
Smooth as silk, cool as air
Ooh, it makes you wanna cry
She doesn't know your name
And your heart beats like a subway train
Ooh, it makes you wanna die

[Pre-Chorus]
Ooh, don't you wanna take her
You wanna make her all your own

[Chorus]
Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Latina, ave Maria
A million and one candle lights

[Verse 2]
I've seen this thing before
In my best friend and the boy next door
Fool for love and fool on fire
Won't come in from the rain
She's oceans running down the drain
Blue as ice and desire

[Pre-Chorus]
Don't you wanna make her
Ooh, don't you wanna take her home

[Chorus]
Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Latina, ave Maria
A million and one candle lights

[Post-Chorus]
Ooh, don't you wanna break her
Ooh, don't you wanna take her home

[Bridge]
She walks like she don't care
Walking on imported air
Ooh, it makes you wanna die

[Chorus]
Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Latina, ave Maria
A million and one candle lights

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Latina, ave Maria
A million and one candle lights

[Instrumental Break]

[Chorus]
Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Latina, ave Maria
A million and one candle lights
Maria, you've gotta see her
Go insane and out of your mind
Latina, ave Maria
A million and one

[Verse 1]
There's no sin in this: getting dressed to kill, laughing down the sun like a jackal will
With his eyes ablaze and his lips apart he's going to fill his cup with the love in your heart and drink it up till the morning starts
Circulate the red light vistas
Get the girls and get their sisters
Pinch them up and give them blisters
Kiss them fierce with all his might, forever

[Chorus]
Bye bye to another life
Bye bye to another life
Bye bye to another life
Bye bye to another life

[Verse 2]
Standing on the verge of the edge of the ledge, waiting for me to fall, but then I got a call
It said "Wait, hold up homie!
You must be tripping!
You can't be putting that skimping and wimping up in your pipping!
You better stand tall, fool you was born to ball
Took a little fall and now you want to end it all!
You've been chasing dreams like a hound dog on the hunt
Take your place in the front
Put your hand on the pump
And it's right in your grasp, man
I know they're laughing, but you'll be laughing later because time's are going to get greater
You's a player, and when I say player I mean player because your daddy and your uncle was a player

[Chorus]
Who's going to cry for you
Who's going to cry over you
Who's going to cry for you
Who's going to cry over you

[Verse 3]
Put yourself in your position
You aren't wishing for no food and no warmth and no light, so you must be doing all right

But wait a minute!
Something's wrong
It's lunatic, it's mad, insane!
Busted like a water main
Indulgence in another vein

What they're saying round the neighborhood is what he's drinking's not aged in wood

He's filling out
He's all growed up
He's all blowed up
He's gotten fat
He's filling out
He's all growed up
He's all blowed up
He's gotten fat

[Break]
Sure enough at the midnight lounge there's a dent in the seat where the vampire sat

[Chorus]
Bye bye to another life
Bye bye to another life

[Break]
Living dead is doing time, like drowning on the circle line

[Chorus]

[Outro]
Who's going to cry over you
Cry over you
Tell me would they lie for you
Die for you
You're hoping that it's true for you do for you, fool
But who's going to cry

[Verse 1]
Looking for your face where it could never be
I'm following a trail that only I can see
Raising waves of heat
I press on in tiny bursts of speed

Caught in my pursuit, I play the fetishist admission
The longing that I feel drives me mad in no direction
Nailed by something cute, I tear it out with micro-surgical precision

[Pre-Chorus]
Incender
Put some gas on the ember
Lightning goes to ground
Incender
Crazy fool on a bender
Striking the ground
Burning me down

[Chorus]
Double take
Left with an aftertaste
I look again
Was it your face
Double take
I'm in an altered state
I look again
Was it really you

[Verse 2]
Another flash of face, igniting and familiar pulls me by the eye to the perimeter
Riveting my gaze
Is that your face in the crowd

[Pre-Chorus]
Incender
Drop some gas on the ember
I felt a slap on the face
Incender
Crazy fool on a bender
Striking the ground, burning me down

[Chorus]
I fell awake
I'm in an altered state
I look again
Was it really you

[Pre Chorus]

[Verse 8]
Looking for your face where it could never be
I'm following a trail that only I can see

[Chorus]
Double take
Left with an aftertaste
I look again
Was it your face
Double take
I'm in an altered state
I look again
Was it really you

[Verse 9]
I'm following a trail that only I can see

[Verse 1]
Some days are all Mondays
Sort of time on ice
It seems like jet planes on snowed in runways under clear blue skies
Who needs it

[Chorus]
Nothing is real but the girl
Nothing is real but her

[Verse 2]
Money goes to money in a figure eight around me
Money
Who's going to love me if I liquidate and drown me

[Chorus]
Nothing is real but the girl
Nothing else feels solid

[Bridge]
We believe in love
We believe in little things like Heaven up above and seven
It's a lucky number!
We believe that something lives inside every thing there is
Don't think about it much
I mean it
I believe it
I believe it

[Verse 3]
Wind down
Put your mind down like your missing school
You'll teach her to find out while your dying in your living room how much you need her

[Chorus]
Nothing is real but the girl
Only her eyes are solid
Nothing is real but her
Nothing is real but the girl

[Verse 1]
Passing the match test
That's some kind of tease, because everything rests on the moment the little flame sees

[Chorus]
Let's go boom boom in the zoom zoom room

[Verse 2]
If you get past that brief little flash, take down my number with your pencil moustache
Play truth or dare in the light of a strike anywhere
Don't follow the fallen already lying down there

[Chorus]
Let's go boom boom in the zoom zoom room
Oh yeah, uh huh
Boom boom in the zoom zoom room

[Bridge]
I'll be the cause you can champion
Your scarlet companion
And won't it be fine
Keeping my head above water
I'm no farmer's daughter
No clinging vine

[Verse 3]
When we trip the light fantastic, a feeling so rare, it will follow your features aligned by the glare

[Chorus]
Let's go boom boom in the zoom zoom room
Let's go boom boom in the zoom zoom room

[Bridge]
I'll be the cause you can champion
Your scarlet companion
And won't it be fun
I'll keep my head above water
I'm no farmer's daughter
No clinging vine

[Verse 4]
Passing the match test and no one says thank you because they're gone just as fast as a breeze

[Chorus]
Boom boom in the zoom zoom room
Yeah, let's go boom
Boom boom in the zoom zoom room
Ah, let's go, let's go boom boom in the zoom zoom room

[Verse 1]
Your music, by the night wind sent, awakes my quiet instrument
In the silence of your steps
I can see into the depths
Messenger of sympathies
My heart beats loud in ecstasy
When your shadow falls on me, a silhouette; reality

And I chase every night after you
And I chase after you

[Verse 2]
Of all your loaded mysteries
The color of your sympathies
My words cannot express your awful loveliness
So come with me through smoke and mirrors
We'll bring our differences nearer
We'll float upon an inland sea
Embody visions of a dream

And I chase every night after you

[Bridge]
I got a chill, and the night wind sent me a chill
And the night wind sent me a chill

[Verse 3]
You wander through my sleeping mind
Reading thoughts I've left behind
I always know when you've been there
Tangles of perfume fill my hair
Your music, by the night wind sent, awakes my quiet instrument
In the silence of your steps
I can see into the depths

[Verse 1]
I still can picture him
His hands in his back pockets
He wasn't much for words, but when the wise kids made a racket he'd just have to go downtown
Throw his weight around before starting over

[Verse 2]
"Say did you hear I've got a band
Some guys I know from L.A
We'll own the Rio Grande
I'll pay you back next Friday
You know it sure isn't big, just some cats I dig
They said they'd do the gig

[Chorus]
Oh Desperado, why don't you spend your life in Colorado
Oh Restless Shadow, out in the blue hills you're feeling hollow
Oh El Diablo, why did you spend your life in California
I should have warned you
No place to go now but falling over

[Bridge]
Some hands can't make it on the run, under the gun
Not for the younger
Oh Jack Daniels, I feel your hunger

[Verse 3]
I know you did your best, but you thought that you did not
I wish that I had known before I heard the last shot
You know, it's not a sin, that little badge of tin
Just a momento

[Verse 4]
So sad you loved in vain
My comrades lost in battle
The music wars are done from London to Seattle
We all pay to play and all our yesterdays are starting over

[Chorus]
Oh Desperado, why don't you spend your life in Colorado
Oh Restless Shadow, out on the blue hills you're feeling hollow
Oh El Diablo, why did you spend your life in California
I should have warned you
No place to go now but falling over

[Outro]
Ready to die
Now he's ready to die

[Verse 1]
He don't hang around with the gang no more
He don't do the wild things that he did before

[Chorus]
(Oh)
He used to act bad
Used to, but he quit it
It makes me so sad, because I know that he did it for me (and I can see)
And I can see (still in the street) his heart, his heart is out in the street

[Verse 2]
He don't comb his hair like he did before
He don't wear those dirty old black boots no more

[Chorus 2]
(Oh)
But he's not the same
There's something about his kisses that tells me he's changed
I know there's something missing inside
(Tell me more)
Something died
(Still in the street)
His heart, his heart is out in the streets

[Bridge]
He grew up on the sidewalk, streetlights shining above
He grew up with no one to love
He grew up on the sidewalk, he grew up running free
He grew up and then he met me

[Verse 3]
He don't hang around with the gang no more
Gee, he doesn't smile like he did before

[Chorus 3]
(Oh)
I wish I didn't care
I wish I'd never met him
They're waiting out there, so I got to set him free
(Send him back)
He's got to be
(out in the street)
His heart, his heart is out in the street

[Outro]
He don't hang around with the gang no more
(He's out in the street)
He don't hang around with the gang no more
He don't hang around with the gang no more
(He's out in the street)
He don't hang around with the gang no more
He don't hang around with the gang no more
(He's out in the street)
He don't hang around with the gang no more
He don't hang around with the gang no more
(He's out in the street)
He don't hang around with the gang no more

[Verse 1]
I'm like a happy dog who's been alone too long
I want to wag for you baby
Raise a flag of wag
Shake and shag
I want to wag for you baby
Come on now throw me some bone
I'm ripping up your song
I want to be your dog
Skinny or fat, I'm going to go with that and chase your pussycat

[Verse 2]
Be my happy dog, my leaping frog and jump all over me
Because my little mutt's got that hairy butt
He's going to wag it for me baby
Hey come over here Mr. Licks
I like when you pick up sticks
When you throw me a fit
And no matter what you tell the tale of a pup because you're my kind of mutt

[Bridge]
I disagree
I want to itch you like a flea
Going to teach my old dog to do some new tricks
Mm hm

[Verse 3]
Don't be begging me, just take a seat on my lap of luxury
Because I'm a happy dog who's been alone too long
I want to wag for you baby
Come on now throw me some bone
I'm ripping up your song
I want to be your dog
Skinny or fat, I'm going to go with that and chase your pussycat

[Outro]
I want to wag for you baby
I want to wag for you
I want to wag for you baby
I want to wag for you

[Verse 1]
I wake up laughing, thrown from a nightmare
I come down standing when I'm tossed in the air
Bright as Tiajuana
Like a dose of Bella Donna
I could cry but I don’t want to
And the dream's lost on me

[Verse 2]
I come out shooting when trouble comes knocking
I greet bad news by sending it walking
Happy or just crazy
Relaxed or lazy
Going to keep my vision hazy
And the dream's lost on me

[Bridge]
Cares are all buckshot and buffalo
Every dark has an afterglow
I'm not afraid of what's down below
I keep my sights on the sky

[Verse 3]
I wake up laughing, thrown from a nightmare
I come down standing when I'm tossed in the air
Bright as Tiajuana
Like a dose of Bella Donna
I could cry but I don’t wanna
And the dream's lost on me

[Verse 4]
I come out shooting when trouble comes knocking
I greet bad news by sending it walking
Happy or just crazy
Relaxed or lazy
Going to keep my vision hazy
And the dream's lost on me

[Verse 1]
Not of this world entirely
Heaven sent, you are my deity
Lived through all the romance sadly meant for me

[Chorus]
All I need is a sign
Make your presence known to mine
Come to me, I will be divine

[Verse 2]
I wear the spell you put on me
Like a charm no one else can see
Keeps away the wicked badly meant for me

[Chorus]
All I need is a sign
Make your presence known to mine
Come to me, I will be divine

[Bridge]
And when I thought my fire finally died, I felt your spell, tight as ever, tied

[Hook]
No one is above the rituals of love
Temptation calls and the stars fall from the blue
There is no limitation except for me and you

[Verse 3]
Lived through all the romance sadly meant for me

[Chorus x3]
All I need is a sign
Make your presence known to mine
Come to me, I will be divine

[Chorus 1]
Dig up the Congo
Breaking the mojo
Dig up the conjo
Making me well

[Verse 1]
Who do you love
You're a mess
Got a gun to your head
And drums in the night
Going blind
Hypnotized

[Chorus 2]
Lost in the Congo
Holding the bongo
Kilimanjaro
Dig up the conjo

[Verse 2]
Listen to drums for the name
Little hearts beat like saints come marching in

[Chorus 3]
Deep in the bayou
Demon inside you
Put on the hoo doo
Put on the hoo doo

[Verse 3]
Who do you love
"Hey mommy, do you see that man? Hey mommy, I don't understand"
"It's only a zombie, honey, hailing a cab. Just hold my hand and don't look in his face"

[Chorus 4]
Jungle inside you
Something's beside you
Doing the mambo
Dig up the conjo

[Break]
Who do you love

[Bridge]
A loa down the well
Come and ring the bell
The jungle's burning down!

[Chorus 4]
Lost in the Congo
Beating the bongo
Dig up the conjo

[Break]
Who do you love

[Verse 4]
To confess in the sun hold your breath
Something comes
It's alright
Half alive
Watching you while it flies

[Chorus 5]
Lost in the Congo
Beating my bongo
Breaking the mojo
Dig up the conjo
Beating my bongo
Holding the mojo
Making me well
