Take us alive
Take us alive
bbcode
Decadence dance
Comfortably dumb
Rest in peace
It ('s a monster)
Star
Tell me something I don't know
Medley: kid ego, little girls, teacher's pet
Play with me
Midnight express
More than words
Ghost
Cupid's dead
Take us alive
Flight of the wounded bumblebee
Get the funk out
Am I ever gonna change
Hole hearted
Decadence dance
'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

Comfortably dumb
I'm paralysed,
Process information at the speed of light
I'm frozen
In motion
Desensitized
Over stimulated matter over mind
It's too bad
I have become
Comfortably dumb

I must confess,
Highly educated in my ignorance
Not stupid
Still lucid
Indifferent
Watching a world amuse itself to death
I'm muted
I have become
Comfortably dumb
I have become
Comfortably dumb

What? When?
Why? Where?
How come?
Who cares?
Knock, knock
Who's there?
No one
How come?
Who cares?

I have become
Comfortably dumb
I have become
Comfortably dumb

Take me away
So far away
So far away
Won't somebody
Take me away
Take
Take it all away
Take it, take, take it... Take it, take

Rest in peace
Let's talk of peace,
Sounds so cliche
A novelty, catch phrase of the day
Middle, index,
Sign of the time
Just as complex,
As water to...

Someone said give peace a chance
And, that's all that we're saying
While we're sitting on the fence
Pretending,
Our hearts are in the right place
But, your face
Shows a trace of,

Hypocrisy,
Don't tread on me,
Now you can see

MAKE LOVE NOT WAR, SOUNDS SO ABSURD, TO ME
WE CAN'T AFFORD TO SAY THESE WORDS, LIGHTLY
OR ELSE OUR WORLD, WILL TRULY, REST IN PEACE

Let's not pretend,
to justify
Rather amend,
Where treasures lie
Straight through the heart,
Peace can be found
That's where you start,
Not all around

Someone said give peace a chance
And, that's all that we're saying
While we're sitting on the fence
Pretending,
Our hearts are in the right place
But, your face
Shows a trace of,

Hypocrisy,
Don't tread on me, boy
Now you can see

It ('s a monster)
Everbody was born in it
Shure as hell gonna die in it
Some people don't give a shit
Whether or not they're full of it

It's on my mind most of the time
That's when you find we all go blind
Then it will start to get in our hearts
It's gone too far, that's who we are

It's a monster
We all have within us
It's a monster
It's a monster
Turns us into sinners
It's a monster

It started when i played with it
It turned into a habit
And after that once you've been bit
You can't seem to get rid of it

It's on my mind most of the time
That's when you find we all go blind
Then it will start to get in our hearts
It's gone too far, that's who we are

It's a monster
We all have within us
It's a monster
It's a monster
Turns us into sinners
It's a monster

Star
Star
You're a star
Yeah be careful
What
You're wishing for
All your dreams
Coming true
Star yes you are
You're now bigger
Than Venus and Mars
You can run
But you can't hide

So
You're gonna make it
Chance
You're gonna take it
Tinseltown
Is calling your name
Penny in your pocket
Walking like a prophet
Fortune teller
Claiming your fame

Arriving in style
On the
Red carpet mile
To the left
To the right
Step aside
As you wave
To the crowd
A voice
Cries out loud
Look at you
You're the new
Overnight sensation

Star
You're a star
Yeah, be careful
What
You're wishing for
All your dreams
Coming true
Star yes you are
You're now bigger
Than Venus and Mars
You can run
But you can't hide

Love and hate
Related
Privacy invaded
A paparazzi
Public domain
Dirty little secret
Guess
She couldn't keep it
At least you made it
On the front page

A tabloid be told
All that glitters
Ain't gold
Not a muse
Drug abuse suicide
As you're left
All alone
After
Selling your soul
In the aisle, smile
Ready
For your close up

Star
You're a star
Yeah be careful
What
You're wishing for
All your dreams
Coming true
Star yes you are
You're now bigger
Than Venus and Mars
You can run
But you can't hide
Stars in your eyes
Got
Your piece of the pie
In the sky
Don't look down
As you hang on

Star
You're a star
Yeah be careful
What
You're wishing for
All your dreams
Coming true
Star yes you are
You're now bigger

Stars in your eyes
Got
Your piece of the pie
In the sky
Don't look down
As you're hanging on

Hanging on
For your life
For you're better off
Dead then alive
Then they love you
Forever

Tell me something I don't know
Sun going up,
making its rounds
it keeps on moving,
painting the town
before you know it,
she's sinking low
so tell me something . . .

something i don't already know
i don't know?

toward the south,
then turning north
whirlwind spinning,
on a circular course
the answer my friend,
returns to blow
so tell me something . . .

something i don't already know
i don't know?
tell me something
i don't know?

as for the wise men who pursue
their knowledge
same as the fool, free falling
prey to folly
can only one fate befall
them both
so tell me something . . .

[chorus]

if every song been sung,
under the sun
what's left for me then,
eat drink and have fun
it must go on, as for the show
so tell me something . . .

Medley: kid ego, little girls, teacher's pet
kid ego
Come down
Hey kid, I'm talkin' to you
What am I supposed to do
You know that you're something special
That's something you already knew
Hey kid, got something to say
But you won't listen anyway
I am only tryin' to help you
But you get further every day
We think your head is getting
Bigger and bigger and bigger
Hey kid, some good advice
To bring your britches down to size
Some modesty would suit you better
So why don't you give it a try
Hey kid ego
With your head above the clouds
Hey kid ego
Come down
Hey kid, you're Mr. IT
Inch by inch a little bit
Stepping on the little people
Like you don't even give a shit
Hey kid, you have it all
Standing proud on top of the world
Don't you know the bigger they come
The harder they must all fall
We think your head is getting
Bigger and bigger and bigger
We think you should be taught
Some manners, manners, manners
Hey kid, some good advice
To bring your britches down to size
Some modesty would suit you better
So why don't you give it a try
					
little girls
It's not fair what
They put me through
Please tell me what
Am I supposed to do
Why do I get myself
In this situation
There must be some
Logical answers why
I rob the cradle
Can this be love
Or just infactuation
LITTLE GIRL
Come out and play
I got some candy
For my baby
It's your sweet
Sixteenth birthday
Celebration
Thank heaven for
LITTLE GIRLS
Who grow up in a
Most peculiar way
You might think she's
Too young for me
(Little Girls)
You know I always say
You're as young
As you feel (As you feel)
Yeah, I might be crazy
'Cause I like them so young
(Little Girls)
But with little girls
The best is yet to come
Come (Yet to come)
Some they say
I'm too old for her
Old enough
To be her father
Incestual blood is
Thicker than water
Do what's right
Not morally wrong
Flesh and blood
Can only be so strong
And it's my God
Not yours
I'll have to answer
					
teacher's pet
My formal education
Never bothered
With my ABC's
Teacher student relation
Taught me all about
The birds and bees
School boy fantasy
Lose control
Of all my faculties
You know that one thing
That got through to me
Was her body chemistry
Subject to body language
Ain't so bad to read
Between the lines
I scored above average
Oral examination
Is where I shine
School boy fantasy
Lose control
Of all my faculties
Student body graduated
At the highest degree
You know that one thing
That got through to me
Was her body chemistry
Purely scientifically
Studied her anatomy
Teacher's pet, Teacher's pet
God only knows what you
Do to me

More than words
Saying I love you
Is not the words I want to hear from you
It's not that I want you
Not to say, but if you only knew
How easy it would be to show me how you feel
More than words is all you have to do to make it real
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
Cos I'd already know

What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying I love you

More than words

Now I've tried to talk to you and make you understand
All you have to do is close your eyes
And just reach out your hands and touch me
Hold me close don't ever let me go
More than words is all I ever needed you to show
Then you wouldn't have to say that you love me
Cos I'd already know

What would you do if my heart was torn in two
More than words to show you feel
That your love for me is real
What would you say if I took those words away
Then you couldn't make things new
Just by saying I love you

More than words

Ghost
Tell me there's no need to be afraid
They're only shadows cast, past this place
Where voices carry at the speed of sound
If I should cry before they lay me down

Sorry for the words, words I left unsaid
Sorry being one of the words I did forget
All the time we spent, wasted in the end
Every precious moment taken for granted
There in the corner of my mind
Lies the weight of my regret
Between the shadow and the light
Ghost you're in my head

Shelter from the storm when I sleep
There's comfort in the morn, a siren sings
If only for a moment, I can breathe
The thought of you comes crashing through on me

Sorry for the words, words I left unsaid
Sorry being one of the words I did forget
All the time we spent, wasted in the end
Every precious moment taken for granted
There in the corner of my mind
Lies the weight of my regret
Between the shadow and the light
Ghost you're in my head
Ghost you're in my head

Tell me there's no need to be afraid
They're only shadows cast past has played
Where voices carry at the speed of sound
If I should die before I lay me down

I'm sorry for the way, the way I treated you
A little bit too late, but if you only knew
I'd take away the pain, pain I put you through
I'd do it all again walking in your shoes

There in the corner of my mind
Lies the weight of my regret
Between the shadow and the light
Ghost you're in my head
Ghost you're in my head

Cupid's dead
-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

Take us alive
Your mamma told you,
Told you to stay away
Pappa done scold you girl,
Don't hear a word he say
He said,
Over my body
No star-crossed lover lay

You can run, I can hide
And we'll meet each other
On the other side
Don't you worry pretty baby
They'll never take us alive

Tell me you're leaving it,
Leaving it all behind
Better believe in me,
Never treat you unkind
(A little closer girl)
Come take my hand child
I'll love you
For a million miles

You can run, I can hide
And we'll meet each other
On the other side
Don't you worry pretty baby
They'll never take us alive

Save our souls, save our souls
Save our souls, save our souls

You better run, I gotta hide
And we'll meet each other
On the other side
Don't you worry pretty baby
They'll never take us alive

You better run, and I can hide
And we'll meet each other
On the other side
Don't you worry pretty baby
They'll never take us
Don't you worry pretty mamma
They'll never break us
Don't you worry pretty baby
They'll never take us alive

Get the funk 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

Am I ever gonna change
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

Hole hearted
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
