Life's ambition occupies my time
Priorities confuse the mind
Happiness one step behind
This inner peace I've yet to find
Rivers flow into the sea
Yet even the sea is not so full of me
If I'm not blind why can't I see
That a circle can't fit
Where a square should be
There's a hole in my heart
That can only be filled by you
And this hole in my heart
Can't be filled with the things I do
Hole hearted
Hole hearted
This heart of stone is where I hide
These feet of clay kept warm inside
Day by day less satisfied
Not fade away before I die
Rivers flow into the sea
Yet even the sea is not so full of me
If I'm not blind why can't I see
That a circle can't fit
Where a square should be
There's a hole in my heart
That can only be filled by you
And this hole in my heart
Can't be filled with the things I do
There's a hole in my heart
That can only be filled by you
And this hole in my heart
Can't be filled with the things I do
Hole hearted
Hole hearted
Hole hearted
Hole hearted
I'm tired of being me,
and I don't like what I see,
I'm not who I appear to be
So I start off every day,
down on my knees I will pray,
for a change in any way
But as the day goes by,
I live through another lie,
if it's any wonder why
AM I EVER GONNA CHANGE
WILL I ALWAYS STAY THE SAME
IF I SAY ONE THING,
THEN I DO THE OTHER
IT'S THE SAME OLD SONG,
THAT GOES ON FOREVER
AM I EVER GONNA CHANGE
I'M THE ONLY ONE TO BLAME
WHEN I THINK I'M RIGHT,
I WIND UP WRONG
IT'S A FUTILE FIGHT,
GONE ON TOO LONG
Please tell me if it's true,
am I too old to start anew,
cause that's what I want to do
But time and time again,
when I think I can,
I fall short in the end
So why do I even try,
Will it matter when I die,
Can anyone hear my cry?
AM I EVER GONNA CHANGE
TAKE IT DAY BY DAY
MY WILL IS WEAK
AND MY FLESH TOO STRONG
THIS PEACE I SEEK
TILL THY KINGDOM COMES
I heard your mother died
Just a few days ago
And tears fill your eyes with grief and sorrow
Cause you to question why because you don't know
If there comes a time when we all, when we all must go
[Chorus:]
Better off dead, if you're going to believe
Better off dead, in some painful (painful) memories
Better off dead, for truly you'll be free
Then to get down on your knees
Can you continue to go on and ignore?
A most certain fate you have grown, grown to abhor
If what you believe is true
And you have no remorse
No matter what you do, no matter what you do,
Oh, you'll be on, you'll be on the same course
[Chorus]
Can someone tell me why I'm not better off dead?
I no longer deny these thoughts filling my head
I'm left to decide for this path I've been led
If there's more to life than just death
[Solo]
[Chorus]
It's alright, I'm only bleeding
Whoever said that big boys don't cry
You say you never shed a tear
Well, listen that's a lie
We're all defenseless
When it comes to pain
I said boys and girls alike yeah,
We're all the same
It's my party
I'll cry if I want to
Big boys don't cry
As if nothing seems to matter
Big boys don't cry
Then why do I
Big boys don't cry
Because nothing in this world
Ever matters
Big boys don't cry
Hey, I'm not ashamed
To say a tear
Is in my eye
Because another tear
Will take its place
Before I die
I had a dream,
Last night I was blind
And I couldn't see
Color of any kind
Picture the world, minus a rainbow
When day becomes night, then where will the sun go
Dancing alone, just me and my shadow
Color me blind, so I can see no evil
WHY DO WE DREAM,
IN BLACK AND WHITE?
COLOR ME BLIND
WHY DO WE DREAM
IN BLACK AND WHITE?
COLOR ME BLIND
I had a dream,
I was looking, over the mountain
But I've, I've yet to see the,
The so-called promised land
Picture the world,
Without any color
You couldn't tell,
One face from the other
I don't understand
Why we fight with our brother
Color me blind
Just to love one another
Color me, color you,
COLOR ME BLIND
-you read the papers today?-
I read the news today oh boy,
About a tragic comedy
Newspaper hinted suicide,
The letterhead read Dear Johnny
A tainted truth was all it said,
Sleep tight now that you've made your bed
An arrow that once pierced your heart
Points to the apple on your head
Three sides to every story
Yours, mine
And, Monday morning's
CUPID'S DEAD, HEADLINES READ,
CUPID'S DEAD
CUPID'S DEAD, HEADLINES READ,
CUPID'S DEAD
Oh, Romeo, Oh, Romeo
Where did our love go, Romeo?
If you read between the headlines,
You wouldn't be the last to know
No mystery yet to unfold,
A paperboy left in the cold
A love was said to never die,
Withered away and just got old
"Our top story tonight,
is a crime of passion
The victim, an unidentified man,
is found in bed, wearing only a diaper,
holding a bow an arrow in one hand,
and clutching a letter in the other.
The letter simply read ...
CUPID'S DEAD."
Extra, extra, extra,
read all about it
CUPID'S DEAD,
Cupid is dead, deceased,
I got peace of mind
Still it's hard to forget,
what it leaves behind
A lot of love lost,
your feelings are wasted,
tasted the sweetness,
but now you're faced with,
the thought, of being alone
Nor more companionship,
you can handle it,
just abandon it,
leave it behind,
and look for the brighter day
Give it some time,
cause it won't come right away
You gotta be standing strong,
hold on to your dignity
Don't sit around,
saying look what ya did to me
It's time to move on,
you gotta continue
to look for a love,
of a life that's within you
Cupid is dead now,
it's time to rely on,
yourself to cope
You got no shoulder to cry on
DEAD
today don't look so bad
compared to tomorrow
if time is all we have
then we're living on borrowed
yesterday's for fools
who try to remember
the good ol' days
weren't always that
much better
cynical fuck
well i ain't nothing but a
cynical fuck
it don't take much to be a
cynical, all you need is love
all you need is what to be a
and whatever you do
someone's done it first
though it's sad but true
this us just another verse
if you can't take it with you
then what's the use
i never saw a u-haul
being pulled behind a hearse
[chorus]
looks like my brighter side
has gotten a bit darker
i must have stepped over
my four leaf clover
'cause someone drank my
half-filled cup of water
"Francis!
Francis! Be careful!"
Trying so hard to keep up with the Joneses
Running a rat racing won by our noses
Always put one foot in front of the other
And dance to the beat of the dacadent drummer
Just buy a brand new pair of Fred Astaire shoes
Climbing to the top, never gonna stop
It's the same old song and one two three and dec-a-dance
Dance, dance
Dance, dance
Dancing to the dacadence dance, dance
Everybody decadancing
Dancing to the decadence
Dancing to the decadence dance
It's hard to stop once the music gets started
'Til the soles of your feet harden up like your heart did
Stepping in line with the sign of the timer
Seduced by the tune of the decadent dancer
Just buy a brand new pair of Fred Astaire shoes
Climbing to the top, never gonna stop
It's the same old song and one two three and dec-a-dance
Dance, dance
Dance, dance
Dancing to the dacadence dance, dance
Everybody decadancing
Dancing to the decadence
Dancing to the decadence dance
Now's not the time to say goodbye
And I'm not the kind to question why
Well I don't feel very well, and it's getting cold as hell
It won't be the same, can't you tell?
Don't leave me alone
Don't leave me on my own
I'm so afraid
Why can't you stay?
Just don't leave me alone
How long will my song be wrong?
Doing the things I should have known
Only to reap what I have sown
Jesus, please
Don't leave me alone
Don't leave me on my own
I'm on my knees
Forgive me please
Just don't leave me alone
How long will my song be wrong?
[Keyboard solo]
Don't leave me alone
Don't leave me on my own
I'm so afraid
Why can't you stay?
Just don't leave, don't leave... me alone
How long will my song... be... wrong?
little lamb come out of
the rain
you'll catch your death in
the cold
a helping hand to come ease
the pain
in peace you'll rest in
our fold
i can be a watch
towering light
for those of you who can't see
i'll separate the truth
from the lies
blind faithful come follow me
evilangelist
you name is on my list
i'm your evilangelist
in what god you trust
close your eyes while i
hypnotize
a friend in need to confess
you've been denied the cock
crowed thrice
surrender all you possess
evilangelist
your name is on my list
i'm your evilangelist
i was betrayed by a kiss
so many claim
to come in thy name
promising peace they'll bring
lest ye taste
the fruit of the vine
they're just wolves in
sheep's clothing
Prentending to act so serene
On your so called submissive knees
A shopping list of begging pleas
Adds to your complacencies
As soon as the sun don't shine your way
And you're saving it all up that rainy day
It's a matter of time before you get down 'n' pray
Fair weather faith - protect me from the storm
Fair weather faith - gonna right all my wrongs
Fair weather faith - you know i'm doing alright
Fair weather faith - out of mind, out of sight
Well I wonder if the man upstairs
Will bother to lend an ear
If you took the time to share
Another one of your puppet prayers
I ain't talkin' 'bout the weather
Flesh 'N' Blood
A human fascination
Acquired the taste
Right on my face
Naughty
Lost in lust
A hopeless situation
Let the game begin
I'm shirts you're skins
Naughty
These hunger pains
Growing inside me every day
I feel it in my veins
Burning inside me every day
[CHORUS:]
I wanna eat your body
Eat your body
Naughty, Naughty,Naughty
Talkin' 'bout your body
Flesh, blood
I think I'm in love
Naughty, Naughty,Naughty
Eating up your body
Driving down
A sticky occupation
I need another shot
Of some food for thought
Naughty
These hunger pains
Growing inside me every day
I feel it in my veins
Burning inside me every day
[CHORUS]
Everybody's got a need
Everybody's got to feed
On everybody else's body
Everybody's got a need
Everybody's got to feed
On everybody
Vegetarians eat your heart out
If you don't like what you see here
Nobody wants to take you prisoner
So let me make it nice and clear dear
The exit is right there
I don't mean to be rude dude
But you'd better change your attitude
I don't like what I see here
You're all invited to the party
You know you didn't have to come
No rotten apple gonna spoil my fun
If you don't like what you see here
Get the funk out
We won't try to force feed you
Get the funk out
You can't please everbody
But everybody cannot please me
That's why I do what I want to
So why don't you do, do it to, do it to me, hey
So if you don't like what you see here
You can always leave the country
I don't like what I see here
You're all invited to the party
You know you didn't have to come
No rotten apple gonna spoil my fun
If you don't like what you see here
Get the funk out
We won't try to force feed you
Get the funk out
All I see is pronograffiti
All I hear pornograffiti
It's a monster we all have within us
The American dream
I need more money
I need more money
Just a little more money
Just a little more money
Everybody's got a need
Everybody's got to feed
He man woman hater
He man woman hater
He man woman hater
Dancing to the decadence dance
Ah, look at all
the lonely people,
losing faith,
in a world
full of despair,
no one who cares,
wondering where
GOD disappeared
I, see the pain
in everybody's faces
asking why,
the GOD up in the sky,
didn't say goodbye,
please tell me,
GOD didn't die
PLEASE TELL ME
GOD ISN'T DEAD
PLEASE TELL ME
GOD ISN'T DEAD
PLEASE TELL ME

"No Women Allowed!"
Let me tell you about this love and hate relation
Between a man and a woman
And so none of you all get the wrong interpretation

And to become one
You've gotta really hate to love them
He man woman hater

He man's behavior
Doesn't need no explanation

He men have always had a sexual preoccupation
It's gonna be your place or it's gonna be mine
Sooner or later
You'll be a he man woman hater
It's inevitable
And to become one
You've gotta really hate to love them
He man woman hater

a clever disguise
that hides all of your
pretension
sally's selling out
her seashells for souls

hip today

gone tomorrow
dancing in your head
visions of rave reviews
hip today, hip today
believing all that's read
conceiving another guru
hip today, hip today
having made your bed
falling short of filling shoes
you've been left for dead
'cause there's always
someone new
sally's selling out
her seashells for souls
hope i don't die
before i get old
