Come on baby
Let’s have some fun
Spend some time out
In the sun
Loosen up
Don’t be like a nun
And you know
You’re gonna be
My only one
Come on baby
Come out and play
Let’s get this movin’
We’ll seize the day
Come on baby
Let’s have some fun
And you know
You’re gonna be
My only one
You’re gonna be
My only one
You’re gonna be
My only one
Come on baby
Don’t be a jerk
Let’s play hooky
Not go to work
Come on baby
Let’s have some fun
And you know
You’re gonna be
My only one
You’re gonna be
My only one
You’re gonna be
My only one

Blonde Moon

Blonde moon
Cursed the day
Now I’ll be
Sleeping noon away
With it hung up
In the sky
Like an incandescent light
Forever and always
Time’s on your side
And I know
The pain is worth the ride
Sometimes it feels
Like I’m fallin’ from the sky
Sometimes it feels
Like I’m fallin’
Sometimes it feels
Like I’m fallin’ from the sky
Sometimes it feels
Like I’m fallin’
Fallin’
Laughing at this world
Of dust
Rivers of pride
Leaving rust
Over the surface
Of the lake
Blonde moon
Turns to blood
And then it aches
Forever and always
Time’s on your side
And I know
The pain is worth the ride
Forever and always
Time’s on your side
And I know
The pain is worth the ride

A Silent Prayer
02:53
|

|
When the cold
Of winter comes
Through the veiling
Of the sun
Starless nights
Will cover day
And we’ll go
Walking in the rain
I close my eyes
I drift away
Into this magic night
I softly say
A silent prayer
For something new
Then I close my eyes
To dream
My dreams of you
When the seas
And mountains fall
In the dark
I hear a call
A silent prayer
Rolls off my tongue
Begging, pleading forgiveness
I close my eyes
I drift away
Into this magic night
I softly say
A silent prayer
For something new
Then I close my eyes
To dream
My dreams of you
All my life
Has been a dream
An endless nightmare
Or so it seems
The cool comfort
Of the in between
Whispers in time
And then it screams
I close my eyes
I drift away
Into this magic night
I softly say
A silent prayer
For something new
Then I close my eyes
To dream
My dreams of you

Lila
03:56
|

|
The sunshine
Cradled your way
And pushed
The clouds away
You grew
In a glow
Under a full moon
Calm, composed
And never disarrayed
With due time
You were lead astray
And we said
Lila Lila, you were on fire
Lila Lila, you were on fire
Life cut you down
To size
And you began
To realize
It was time to cast off
Your old rose colored glasses
And into something brighter
Lila Lila, you were on fire
Lila Lila, you were on fire
And we said
Lila Lila, you were on fire
Lila Lila, you were on fire
So you found a place
Where you could
Just disappear
In dark recesses
With the belt wrapped
Tight around your arm
A boiling spoon
And a spike
Into your vein
With due time
You were insane
And we said
Lila Lila, you were on fire
Lila Lila, you were on fire
Lila Lila, you were on fire
Lila Lila, you were on fire

Regret
02:28
|
|||
|
Formed from
The inside out
Given free will
I knew I’d join the ranks
Of fallen angels still
Regret
Is clogging my mind
And taking over me
To fight over clouds
Over sky, over wind
Over blood, over air
Given thumbs
I use a club
And beat a brother
Don’t these monkeys
Know that Eden
Has enough to go around
My patience surely
Has its limits
And when I’ve exhausted these
I’m conjuring up
The gravest of calamities
Regret
Is clogging my mind
And taking over me
To fight over clouds
Over sky, over wind
Over blood, over air
I’m a monkey
The omnipotent
Slightly complacent
I’ll wipe out
All of these
Demon human hybrids
Then I’ll carry a regret
That runs as deep
As the beloved blue oceans
Regret
Is clogging my mind
And taking over me
To fight over clouds
Over sky, over wind
Over blood, over air
Regret
Is clogging my mind
And taking over me
To fight over clouds
Over sky, over wind
Over blood, over air
