2.Shake Me Like A Monkey

The thing I like about you
The way you do what you do
The thing i like about you
God and the devil alone could not have made you up
Two must have worked as one together
So good just want to eat you up
Let me like the real thing
Lick your sticky fingers boy and sing for your dinner sing

Come on pretty babe make me lose my mind
Everybody get together gonna make love shine

Do you know what it is to feel the light of love inside you?
And all the darkness falls away
If you feel the way I feel then believe we have the answer
I've been searching for tonight
Love me baby love me baby shake me like a monkey
forever i'm yours

I can't stop thinking about you
yeah yeah yeah
why would i want to
I like coffee with toast and jelly
But i'd rather be licking from your back to your belly
I think I'm going to

Do you know what it is to feel the light of love inside you?
And all the darkness falls away
If you feel the way I feel then believe we have the answer
I've been searching for tonight
Love me baby love me baby shake me like a monkey
forever i'm yours

Cigarettes and coffee broken heart and being lonely little girls
And ponies are the things that go together
Yes and no you have to choose Romeo and Juliet to hang their
noose
You and me would go together

Kiss Kiss make a wish
Hope that it comes true
But I ain't waiting for the world to change
Gonna change the world for you

Come on pretty baby make you ose your mind
Everybody get together gonna make love shine

Do you know what it is to feel the light of love inside you?
And all the darkness falls away
If you feel the way I feel then believe we have the answer
I've been searching for tonight
Love me baby love me baby shake me like a monkey
forever i'm yours

Come on everybody make me lose my mind
Everybody get together gonna make love shine


3.Funny The Way It Is

Lying in the park on a beautiful day
Sunshine in the grass, and the children play
Siren's passing, fire engine red
Someone's house is burning down on a day like this?

The evening comes and we,re hanging out
On the front step, and a car rolls by with the windows rolled
down
And that war song is playing, why can,t we be friends?
Somebody's screaming and crying in the apartment upstairs

Funny the way it is, if you think about it
Somebody's going hungry and someone else is eating out
Funny the way it is, nor right or wrong
Somebody's heart is broken and it becomes your favorite song

Laying out in a field in a lover's kiss
Like a baby bird on a breeze or water to a fig
A bomb blast brings a building crashing to the floor
You can hear the laughter while the children play war

Funny the way it is, if you think about it
A kid walks 10 miles to school, another's dropping out
Funny the way it is, nor right or wrong
Oh, a soldier's last breath and a baby's being born

Standing on a bridge, watch the water passing under me
It must,ve been much harder when there was no bridge, just water
Now the world is small. Remember how it used to be,
with mountains and oceans and winters and rivers and stars?

Watch the sky, the jet planes, so far out of my reach
Is there someone up there looking down on me?
Boy chase a bird, so close but every time
He,ll never catch her, but he can't stop trying

Funny the way it is, if you think about it
A kid walks 10 miles to school, another's dropping out
Funny the way it is, nor right or wrong
Oh, a soldier's last breath and a baby's being born

Funny the way it is, nor right or wrong
Somebody's heart is broken and it becomes your favorite song
Funny the way it is, nor right or wrong
A kid walks 10 miles to school, another's dropping out

Standing on a bridge, watch the water passing under me
It must,ve been much harder when there was no bridge, just water
Now the world is small. Remember how it used to be,
with mountains and oceans and winters and rivers and stars?


4.Lying In The Hands Of God

Baby I'll be your soldier.
Gladly, I'll do your bidding
Just a taste of what your holding,
for just a taste you could only... me.
Save your sermons for someone thats afraid to love.
I'll be right here, lying in the hands of God.

Here it comes, diving in to me.
Now the floor is the ceiling.
If you never flew why would you
cut the wings off a butterfly... fly.
Save your sermons for someone thats afraid to love.
If you knew what I feel then you couldn't be so sure.
I'll be right here lying in the hands of God.
If you feel angels in your hand,
tear drops of joy runs down your face, you will rise.

Fillin' me up, now drain me...
skin begins to grow back slowly,
faster til I'm choking.
Really should call my mother, mother.
Save your sermons for someone thats afraid to love.
If you knew what I feel then you couldn't be so sure.
I'll be right here lying in the hands of God.

I am in love with nothing less..
tear drops of joy runs off my face,
I will rise for someone thats afraid to love.
If you knew what I feel,
they you couldn't be so sure.
I'll be right here lying in the hands of God.

Now the floor is the ceiling.
If you never flew, why would you...
If you never flew, why would you.
You. Why would you?


5.Why I Am

I grew up from the end of man
and I crushed fifteen million with a wave of my hand
I grew drunk on water turned into wine
Till I was slave and master at the same damn time

But this is why I am Why I am Why I am
Still dancin with the GrooGrux King

Out of my head and into the womb. Hello

I cant know a man that makes no sense
When I bow to a priest while he worships a witch

But this is why I am
the only one who to make you smile
Why I am a snake in the woodpile
Its Why I am still here dancin with the GrooGrux King

Out of my head and into the womb
So will my ghost take things from you
You can remember the fool that I am
Dont cry baby don't cry

The lose and the win of the world
Wrong and right us and them of the world
The you and the me of the world
Only one way out of the world

Its the lose and the win of the world
Wrong and right us and them of the world
The you and the me of the world
Only one way out of the world

Its why I am unlikely to agree
Why I am climbin out of my monkey tree
Why I am still here dancin with the GrooGrux King
Ive been drinkin Big Whiskey while we dance and sing

When my story ends its gonna end with him
Heaven or Hell I'm goin there with the GrooGrux King
Its Why i am the apple of your pretty eye
Why I am a snake in the woodpile
Why I am still here dancin with the GrooGrux King

Out of my head and into the womb
So will my ghost take things from you
You can remember the fool that I am
Dont cry baby don't cry


6.Dive In

I saw a man on the side of the road
with a sign that read 'will work for food'
Tried to look busy, 'til the light turned green

I saw a bear on TV and his friends were all drowning
cause their homes were turning to water

A strange, kinda sad, big old bear
surely would happily eat me
he'd tear me to pieces that bear

Wake up sleepy head
I think the suns a little brighter today
and see the water rising...
Smile and watch the icicles melt away
Summers here to stay,
and all those summer games will last forever
Go down to the shore,
kick off your shoes, dive in the empty ocean.

Tell me everything will be OK
if I just stay on my knees and keep praying
believing in something
Tell me everything is all taken care of
by those qualified to take care of it all.

Wake up sleepy head
I think the suns a little brighter today
Smile and watch the icicles melt away
and see the waters rising
Summers here to stay,
and that sweet summer breeze will blow forever
Go down to the shore,
kick off your shoes, dive in the empty ocean

One day, do you think we'll wake up
in a world on it's way to getting better?
and if so can you tell me
how?

I have been thinking that lately the blood is increasing
the tourniquets not keeping hold in spite of our twisting
though we would like to believe we are
we are not in control
though we would love to believe

Wake up sleepy head
I think the suns a little brighter today
Smile and watch the icicles melt away
and see the water rising...
Summers here to stay,
and those sweet summer girls will dance forever
Go down to the shore,
kick off your shoes, dive in the empty ocean.


7.Spaceman

Probably get it wrong much as I get it right, girl
But I got it right woman when I caught your eye
Remember most about that night
Is I love the way you move baby
Yes I love the way you move baby

I like most liquor, but I don't like gin
Dont always like the skin I'm in
But when we get it wrong we gotta start again
But I love the way you move me
I love the way you move me

All the freaks are on parade
I wanna fill my belly, so I gotta get paid
Doesn't everyone deserve to have the good life
Dont always work out
Cry cry baby, if you must
Just remember
Just remember..I love the way you love me
I love the way you move me

I'm not all there, I'm a faithful sinner
I might get lost, but Ill be home for dinner
If God don't like me, he can hand me to hell
But I love the way you love me girl
I love the way you move me

I pray to heaven to keep my place
Till I look to the mirror and saw the Devils face
And Id be a dog, for a tail to chase
But I love the way you kiss me baby
I love the way you talk to me
I love the way you talk to me

All the freaks are on parade
I wanna fill my belly, so I gotta get paid
Doesn't everyone deserve to have the good life
Dont always work out
Cry cry baby, if you must
Just remember
The way you move me

Not coming home till the good days gone
Working as hard, as the day is long
Working men watch me, when I get home
Cause I love the way you talk baby
I love the way you move

All the freaks are on parade
I wanna fill my belly, so I gotta get paid
Doesn't everyone deserve to have the good life
Dont always work out
Cry cry baby, if you must
Just remember
Well remember
All the freaks are on parade
I wanna fill my belly, so I gotta get paid
Doesn't everyone deserve to have the good life
Dont always work out
Cry cry baby, if you must
Just remember
I love the way you love me girl.
I love the way you move.


8.Squirm

Please find your place
The room grows scarce
Once we,re all inside
The service can begin
For a moment, if you please
Forget what you believe
And naked, you will see
That we are all the same

But how, your kiss
Your words, your lips
Your flesh, your bones
Exactly what you need

Why should I feel intrusion?
Why be afraid of what we do not understand?
To eliminate exclusion
Cut out the differences to feel like we belong

Drum beats louder ...

Open up your head
Open up you primitive
Open up your mouth
Open up your head
Open up your head
Your sweet primitive
Open up your mouth
It's coming out

Out there, no food or drink
How many days do you think you'd last
On your diamonds and your pearls?
I'm not a king, no, not a hero, not a fool
I'm not perfect, I'm flesh and bone
And I'm exactly what you need

Drum beats louder ...

Open up your head
Open up you primitive
Open up your mouth
Open up your head
Your sweet primitive
Open up your mouth
It's coming out
Open up your head
Scream, you sweet primitive
Tell me what you said

But how, your kiss
Your words, your lips
Not a gun to your head
You're gonna die before you're dead
Not sad, when you're gone
But when your light,s still on
Your dreams wont let you fly
Don't be dead before you die
Hunger, till fed, give love instead
When it gets inside, watch the dead man squirm
Above all things
If kindness is your king
Then heaven will be yours before you reach your end
Open up your head

Open up you primitive
Open up your mouth
Open up your head
Open up your head
Your sweet primitive
Open up your mouth
It's coming out
...


9.Alligator Pie

Floating in the lower nine
Waiting for a boat to throw me a line
See my Stella smile
Sitting on the roof eating alligator pie
First day the water rise
Second day the sun is high
Third day Stella cried
cause night times dark as a dead man's eye's
Tell me when is help gonna come
Stella said daddy when you gonna put me in a song?

Morning ride on by thank lord everybody's alright
Don't mean to throw us a second line
The devil left us here to die
Stella said daddy when you gonna put me in a song?

All the things we know and
Everything we hoped for
All the things we wanted
Everything that was sure
Now there is a scar
Where the old men used to be
The corner store and market
Where Stella used to sing to me
Grace is all I'm asking
When will grace return
Grace is all I'm asking

Remember how I feel in those days of the summertime
Then Stella smiled
Stella said daddy when you gonna put me in a song?
Tell me lord when help is gonna come
Daddy when you gonna put me in a song?


10.Seven

Baby when I think about you
All I want to do
Be by your side
Take a little ride
Take a little
Baby you know I'm all about you
And all I want to do
Is take a little ride
Maybe get inside
Maybe get in
Mama told me boy
Someday that girls gonna take your mind
And then you'll know
I never knew what I do now
I never knew what I do now
I love you, love you, love you, love you
You, you, you, you, you, you, you
Mama told me boy
Someday that girls gonna steal your mind
And then you'll know
I never knew what I do now
I never knew what I do now
I love you, love you, love you, love you
You, you, you, you, you, you, you

Sour as my fingers
Dirty pick pocket
I can still taste you
I won't wash my hands
Red is the color
Of the sun with my eyes closed
I can still taste you
And I will again

Woman please I be your possession
You are my obsession
Let me go down
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down

Down little place it digs to go
Down little place it digs to go
Down little place it digs to go
Down little place it digs to go

Mama told me boy
Someday that girls gonna steal your mind
And then you'll know
I never knew what I do now
I never knew what I do now
I love you, love you, love you, love you
You, you, you, you, you, you, you
Woman please I be your possession
You are my obsession
Let me go down
Down, down, down, down, down, down, down


11.Time Bomb

I'm a ticking time bomb
Waiting to blow my top
No one would ever know
Not until I blew up

No one would believe it
He was such a normal guy
Shake their heads and wonder why

Martians fell from the sky
What would that do to god?
Would we put the weapons down
Or aim it up at the sky

No one would believe it
Except the fucking nut jobs
They laugh and cry we told you so

Baby when I get home
I want to believe in Jesus
Hammer in the final nail
Help me pick up the pieces

When everything starts to fall
So fast that it terrifies you
When will you hit the wall?
Are you gonna learn to fly?

No one would believe it
Except for all the people
Watching as you fly away

Baby when I get home
I want to pick up the pieces
Hammer in the final nail
And lean me up against jesus

Baby when I get home
I want to pick up the pieces
Hammer in the final nail
I want to believe in jesus

Baby when I get home
I want to pick up the pieces
Hammer in the final nail
I want to believe in jesus


12.Baby Blue

Confess, your kiss still knocks me off my legs.
The first time I saw you was like a punch right through my chest
and I will forever, cause you'll forever be
my one true broken heart, pieces inside of me and you'll
forever, my baby be.

You will rest your head, your strength once saving.
And when you wake you will fly away,
holding tight to the legs of all your angels.
Goodbye my love, into your blue, blue eyes,
your blue, blue world, you're my baby blue.

Confess I'm not quite ready to be left.
Still, I know I gave my level best.
You give, you give, to this I can attest
You made me, you made me.
You and me forever, baby.

You will rest your head, your strength once saving.
And when you wake you will fly away,
holding tight to the legs of all your angels.
Goodbye my love, into your blue, blue eyes,
in your blue, blue world, you and me forever.


13.You & Me

Wanna pack your bags, Something small
Take what you need and we disappear
Without a trace we'll be gone, gone
The moon and the stars can follow the car
and then when we get to the ocean
We gonna take a boat to the end of the world
All the way to the end of the world

Oh, and when the kids are old enough
We gonna teach them to fly
You and me together, we could do anything, Baby
You and me together yes, yes
You and me together, we could do anything, Baby
You and me together yes, yes

You and I, we're not tied to the ground
Not falling but rising like rolling around
Eyes closed above the rooftops
Eyes closed, we're gonna spin through the stars
Our arms wide as the sky
We gonna ride the blue all the way to the end of the world
To the end of the world

Oh, and when the kids are old enough
We gonna teach them to fly
You and me together, we could do anything, Baby
You and me together yes, yes
You and me together, we could do anything, Baby
You and me together yes, yes

We can always look back at what we did
All these memories of you and me baby
But right now it's you and me forever girl
And you know we could do better than anything that we did
You know that you and me, we could do anything

You and me together, we could do anything, Baby
You and me together yeah, yeah
To of us together, we could do anything, baby
You and me together yeah, yeah
To of us together yeah, yeah
To of us together, we could do anything, baby
something wrong to reach the end of the world
