Vicious Circle
05:07

It’s a vicious circle when you play the game. Of adding up the wrongs and keeping score of the blame, Make a smart man stupid, make a rich man poor, Cause it just don’t matter who’s right or wrong no more, It’s a vicious circle, Going round and round, It’s a vicious circle Down, You say I used your love, employed it for my gain, Built upon the edifice of adding to your pain, Tell me tell me whats the answer, Tell me tell me what your after, What you wanna do, When your filled with anger, Unto you I opened up, to you my soul I bared, Then you betrayed my trust and twisted what I shared, Now I see your dark true color fills my heart with hate, But hate me makes me just like you and that’s an awful fate

Trial of Big Baby
04:43
|

|
Bring in the condemned being, What place is this?, Do you know why you are here?, No, Do you know why you are here?, I don’t even know who I am, I sentence you to birth,
Why must I learn to live, Why must I be born again, It’ll be good for you, Like eatin’ your wheaties,
Doctor? – There’s something wrong with your child, Doctor? - Genetic structure’s gone wild, Doctor? – Megalo-encephalytic freak, Doctor? – Roll the covers down and take a peak, Doctor?, Doctor?, hush my child, Thank you, Doctor , Why must I be born again into this cold world, To spin around and pretend I’m not afraid, Into this freezing darkness I’ve been cruel hurled, Left to my survival in the cold rain,
Doctor – I think that I’m – alive

What Place is This?
04:36

What kind of place is this?, Dream or nightmare coming true, Place of pain or sweet caress, No maybe here plainly owe my due, What kind of place is this I fell into, What kind of place is this can you tell me, Memory fade away my world behind, Traces departing the waking mind, Made a mess there here I stand anew, All alone counting on my prayer to get me through, What kind of place is this I fell into, What kind of place is this can you tell me, Heard it said better off dead than blue, What kind of place is this I fell into, No going back, the olden world is closed yeah yeah yeah, Plan to see the question here gets posed shout it out, What kind of place is this I fell into, What kind of place is this can you tell me

Chance to Learn
03:26
|
|||
|
Say you want to run away with me, Live a life of fantasy, Well that sounds damn good, Don’t you know I would. But something’s always got in the way somehow, Sunny day gone behind a cloud, Can’t reach the sky with a broken wing, Can’t guess today what tomorrow may bring. So I’m casting off these chains, Of feeling I might rue the day, And take the chance to learn, That love can get us through. Change comes with ups and downs, Risks and gains and turnarounds, There is no certainty, How things may be. Opportunity knocking at the door, As long as I have you I know for sure, We can weather anything, That our path may bring. So I’m casting off these chains, Of feeling I might rue the day, And take the chance to learn, That love can save us, Take the chance to learn, That love can get us through.

Hey Oh

Hey why not bop, C’mon and bop to we drop, You never want to stop. Hey when the dancing begins, You gotta count me in, Because its skin on skin. Hey oh oh. Hey darlin’, Let me in. Hey oh oh. Tell me what you want, why you need it, and don’t be shy. Open up to me, let your fantasies all fly. There is no need to wait, No time now to hesitate. Hey oh oh. Hey darlin’, Let me in.

Team Player
05:19
|

|
Better listen – always do, And get it done – what they tell you to, You might need a gun – no matter who You do it to. As your intentions unfold, Morality on hold, Absolute control, In the freezin’ cold. Team Player. Life and death bought and sold, Play your part in the stranglehold, All laid out in the grand design, Just toe the line. Play your part – stick to the script, Written by – those asses you’ve kissed, Safe as long as you fit their mold, Of absolute top down control. Team Player.

I Remember
03:20

- I remember when you first stood up alone, No one there to catch you when you fell but heartless stone. Oh Emmy, don’t you cry, so lonely. I remember, I remember. I remember when your strength gave way on the way to the mountaintop. How I picked you up and on my back, together we could not be stopped. Oh Emmy, don’t you cry, so lonely. Don’t you cry. Wind blows and rain falls, This Life is a hurricane, Friends go, but through it all, Only true love, true love can be true. Can be true. True love, true love, true love.

Why?
04:27
|
|||
|
Catch the wind, Touch the stars for me, Show the sin, Of your frozen heart, Teach me now, Right and wrong to you, Show me how, The rich and strong – Can take it all, Why? (What were you thinking [of]?), Lift the veil, With your bloodstained hand, Weave your tale, Of your Holy Land, Hide your shame, Where the children died, By any name, Its still homicide, Why?, Wave your flag, Blood red white and blue, Only snag, It don’t belong to you

O Darling
03:44
|
|||
|
No amount of time will fade away, How I’m feeling today, Don’t know what more I can say, All my words run away, O Darling, Once again I’ll say to you, O Darling, More than friends, I’m loving you, Just like when a volcano it goes, And the molten lava flows, This feeling in my heart explodes, My explanation here it goes, If I only had the power, I’d try to write something that meant something to you, I’ve sat here hour after hour, With my little pad and pen and fingers turning blue, All I know is I love you dear, I hope these words are words enough, To let you see who’s standing here, A simple man full of simple love, Like an old dog runs down the road, With his tail goin’ to and fro, Here I am running after you, What else in this world to do

On a Cold Day
03:57
|
|||
|
One day put things to rest, One fine day we’ll just forget, But you ask me when it won’t hurt no more, Ask me when I can tell you for sure, On a cold day, On a cold day in Hell, Things undone and lines were crossed, When will I forgive the double cross, On a cold day, On a cold day in Hell

Requiem in Alabaster
04:03
|
|||
|
- Multicolor memories, Fade to black and white, Then slowly fade to shades of gray, Then to empty white, Requiem, Now and then - and what came after, I can hear me say Don’t leave me alone, I can hear me say Don’t end it this way, I can hear me say Don’t say no, Don’t say anything, Requiem, Bound to end in alabaster, Whiter than white, But dead cold inside, Bigger than life, In lifeless stone, Requiem, Until it ends in alabaster, Requiem, Now and then – and what came after,
