SEVERAL TIMES
Several times, the week feels so unkind
The days are split in asymmetric lines
Dirty feelings are rooted in routine
With tyrant mem'ries ruling the days that end in 'y'
Okay, your point is made
I think I see what you've been trying to say
Several times, you sliced he humble pie
The cues I seek could cut a pack of lies
You just can't wait to make your getaway
I can keep my engine running if it takes all day
Okay, your point is made
I think I see what you've been trying to say
But if I had to ask you one more time
Would you give me a sign or would you cut me down to size
Several times?
ONE OF THESE DAYS
Tonight, you're perfect
Just as you are
Call this one crazy but I
Fell to your charms
Can't wait to tell you
That you I love
This fickle feeling is one I know
You're wary of
The time is right
You changed my ways
I'm working hard
To have you one of these days
Tonight, you're perfect
But, for how long?
I'm counting silent moments
Listening for something wrong
Can't wait to tell you
That I was so sure
You would change your mind on me again
Like you've done before
The time is right
You changed my ways
I'm working hard
To have you one of these days
TESTIFY
I don't want this to be a mental case
I would rather not participate
I made a pledge to unconceal
The things you're charged with making me feel
There are some here still innocent
I acted without their full consent
My mind is somewhat occupied
Overused and overdignified
My soul is co confused
It's gone and joined the party of the accused
If there were someone to testify
Ask him he that never lies
My heart should take the stand
It holds the good book in its proverbial hand
DO NOTHING
Don't be a tattle tale
Silent waters run deep you know
Everyone will see
Eventually
Let honesty speak
She hasn't said a thing for years and years
Do tell or don't talk at all
Let me know I'm all ears
I've got a thing for silence
Stay the course and run
Let the captain have his fun
And the heroes their masquerade ball
Me I'll be writing
Read the writing on the wall
Let the fuckers know
Won't you write a thing or two
It's bloody unbelievable
The things they make you do
Sit around and put your thinking caps back on
Bomb the TV 'cause there's nothing on
Seek and you shall find
Read one nugget at a time
Riches come and riches go
But don't get fired up against the wall
I've got some writing to do
Take a listen pull a chair
Solve the problems or join the club
And do nothing at all
Or do nothing at all
STREETS
The streets are all you say you’re living for
But when the count is out you don’t wanna do that thing anymore.
What’s so sad about your situation?
All you need is some friends and some wine.
What’s so good about your situation is
All you need is some loving, some talk and some time.
Wond’rin’ what they say about you now
Talk is cheap but will you make that final leap into my arms?
Life is sad without the complication
But thank God for the friends and the wine.
Life was good and now you sit there thinking
All you need is some loving, some talk and some time.
And you need to know something I should have said long ago
Is that I need someone to see what I’ve done
And finish what I have finally, clearly have begun
And I need to know how can you go so long without me
If your heart really tries, I’ll take you inside.
Feed on my life, leave it all behind
I'VE GOT YOU UNDER MY SKIN
