INTRO
This melting moon,
it has no clue.
Can someone tell me what to do.
ONE
I walk sad steps,
all on my own.
There's so little light in our musty home.
I can't find a way.
Not one damn reason to stay.
I had a dream and I wished it true.
All those nites I dream of (for) you.
(But - now)Living with you, means I'm living all alone.
So I walk hard steps,
all on my own.
CHORUS
No one lives on Memory Lane.
They all drive past, ...

PAST DUE
Can distance dull as it sharpens pain?
A few more steps might end this game?
As your Life's razor edge defiles her tender skin.
Your Bitter Beginnings engender her rope's end.
Is this the thing, she was born to do?
Drippin' promises that ain't comin' true.
Forever she's pays your price,
cause your pain never free.
Is this the way it's suppose to be?
Another forbidding tonite.
On your frigid, charcoal streets.
Her mind's a world way beyond relief....

Local Wild LiFe
LocaL Wild LiFe
ONE
There's no law in the jungle.
So where should we begin?
There's no love at the start,
pure lust fills your heart.
With her high heels and my dark rum.
This is how work gets done.
Her Zoo's locked up tight.
but my bananna's feeling ripe.
I'll be king of her jungle tonight
We're the Local Wild Life.
You better not breathe.
Cause if you breathe,
you will be deceived.
CHORUS
When its monkey see,

Shadows & PaiN
ShaDowS & pAiN
ONE
She dances naked with the curtains closed.
She never needs, but feels so exposed
I've heard her say "hearts in pain,
they should never cry."
But I've seen those eyes.
I've watched tears die.
Yet Still she dances in his flame.
Still she begs love to remain.
CHORUS
In her garden one wild flower blooms.
Pure beauty against his manicured gloom.
A bitter twist breeds her most tragic end.
(Before) His shadow and rain return with heartache again.
Baby, let me heal your soul,
I'm the one to...

THIEF 28
ONE
Another brittle nite.
My angel whispers please.
The spice of your kiss warms my lips,
as we tease this lonely breeze.
I soothe your moans,
but we don't stop.
We measure love in precious drops.
In our desire soaked, little bed,
As we bleed this love we need.
You're the thief inside my mind.
You've come to steal all my time.
Nothing can hold us down.
My four letter words love your five dollar sounds.
CHORUS
A daydream...

StoryBook Children
ONE
Our soft candied kisses linger free in the wind.
Another morning beside you.
I feel your love warm my skin.
You spent on me all your precious time.
The thought of you has healed my mind.
Like a child's cry deep in the night.
Love will rise and makes us right.
CHORUS
I'm the writer of your life.
You're the author of my soul.
We're StoryBook Children in a story never told.
Let's take that deep breath.
Let's share our souls. ...

ESOTERIC
ONE
If birds had wings,
I think they'd fly.
If you knew love, would you have passed me by?
You're so finely fractured, but rarely flawed.
Far less profound than you should be.
You don't look back?
Not much to see.
Just burning signs of hypocrisy.
PRE-CHORUS
There's always a need,
Someone to feed.
Grinded grief, written in her heart.
Such graphic work,
some call it art.
Cold cut slices of a broken heart.

Beach Friends
ONE
You have more friends, then a beach has sand.
Are you strong likker, or are they weak men?
How you make them linger.
They won't crawl away.
You say love from your bottle always twist them that way.
Soon they'll sink,
cause they just can't swim.
But heaven knows, they keep jumping in.
PRE-CHORUS
You'll tell 'em what your drinking.
They'll tell you what they're thinking.
All the things they're gonna do,
for just a little taste of you. ...

Wash N Spin
ONE
It's never free.
It may cost your soul.
Still we feed that meter,
both the young and the old.
Where's there's love,
there's it's price to pay.
One day you'll say, Love's born that way.
Soon you'll see, why love ain't free.
You best run and price your soul.
Then crawl and pay it's toll.
CHORUS
You dropped more quarters in her slot.
Just how much will you give up?
Its not the wash.
Its in the spin.
Its what comes out,
not what goes in.
Its never the wash. ...

TicK TocK
ONE
You know tomorrow does, as it will do,
Today did what it wanted to.
When yesterday came,
it changed the game.
Yesterday came, yet we're still the same.
Time is a chance,
a reason and a way.
Always posing its question,
"Will you stand in your way?"
Why stand in your way, again today?
CHORUS
Another tick.
another tock.
Another day we messed (€uck€d) it up.
We can't unwind the errors of today....

Dr. FranK
ONE
I'm a badd man.
So why challenge me?
I'm a madd man.
Frankie made a monster,
then just set me free.
I played your game.
I let you craft the rules.
Now you wanna shake hands?
You want us to be cool??
I'll break your body, then smash your mold.
I'm the man Frank can't control.
PRE-CHORUS
Go blow your whistle.
So I can ring your damn bell.
When you walzed into my cell,
you fell into hell.
