tamper-ment 04:36
what gives? when i try to make myself clear and send a few notes for you to hear you dissappear ear-to-ear in a world that unfurled leaves unwhirled your gaping heart on pins and needles, shatters and breaks like a hurried love scene on a second take second date left the butterflies under your skin slick smitty's let himself in but apart from the start and the art there's a mark on the soul, it's a hole that you're headed fast for you can't take no more yet you still adore so i unleash everything i had in store and the floodgates pour and your heart stands torn and we spill our guts right out on the floor but that's when i swing and the mood ring sings and i tell my tired sorry self that it's not my place to tamper no it ain't my place to tamper no it's not my place to tamper so why... why... do i try what now i try to let myself by get my fix up feeling all superfly but who am i to say who i am today or if you stay for a day what may or not be can't explain why i say what i do or i do what i say but it's not for a lay but for a lady miss cady that i'm putting this out why i shout what i doubt but you are not free all i know is that i know nothing but the fact of the matter is that that's still something so we prop ourselves up with another crutch it's ain't much but it's sutch that soon we're dining dutch but then you see him once more and your heart stands torn and you both spill your guts right out on the floor that's when i find myself swingin' and the mood ring singin' and i tell my tired sorry self that it's not my place to tamper no it ain't my place to tamper no it's not my place to tamper so why... why... do i try oh when i hear you tell of how he gives you hell my temperment flares and i wish i was there to tell him where he can now find his air and then take your hand and say how i care because i'll never really know unless i try and you're a heart-shaped box with a lullaby and even a blind man could see that there's someting there in this magical musical love affair but it's not my place to tamper no it ain't my place to tamper no it's not my place to tamper so why... why... but it's not my place to tamper no it ain't my place to tamper no it's not my place to tamper so why... why... why don't i try because i'll never really know unless i try and you're a heart-shaped box with a lullaby and even a blind man could see that there's someting there in this magical musical love affair

Logical Love 04:34
intro: if i say that i love you you always say you love me too but when i say just how i feel you say my thoughts have no appeal you always say to just forget it i feel these feelings all have merit so to find out if this love is true let's take a look at the logical view... verse 1: 1 + 1 always equals 2 man + woman equals me + you unless you're rounding up from 1.3 but you can't get partial people that easily we're deeply bonded near-molecular force tho we live separate lives, we're both on the same course and while we live long distance, we're an atom split apart an electron connection flows through both of our hearts chorus 1: perhaps you need a gentle shove in the right direction and the joy thereof so relax and feel the topical, logical love verse 2: we both live in an intellectual's world i'm an ex-math whiz, you're a science genius girl so our love shouldn't be such a paradox just take that cat right out of the box and if we put intelligence aside yer a sexy hot babe, i'm just an average guy but i have no qualms, no, that's just fine cuz opposites attract, and i'm magnetized chorus 2: you know just what i'm thinking of when i say we can't wait for word from above so let's join in canonical angelical logical love ---------------------------------------- met a smart girl with a pretty face at a boy scout camp, an unlikely place got a number got a name camp would never feel the same it was a lengthy drive to see her smile but it was worth it, every mile a weekend in berne, take a chance explode into a firey romance worked a week in michigan together, that's what i call a win-win it seemed that everything was fine but we were living fast on borrowed time the strain of separation, she wanted to go she said it was over while i said no that's when i tried to kill myself... ... um, yeah, about that... so i gave her a pony ---------------------------------------- verse 3: i know you've been hurt, i know i've done wrong and a heart takes more to heal than just one song but forget the science and the logic for once and have a little bit of faith, and a buttload of trust! chorus 3: it's crunch time nao, remove the gloves unchain the beasts, release the doves time to join in technological logical love (c'mon) zoological logical love (second chance, perhaps?) methodical logical love (maybe third? fourth?) diabolical logical love (c'mon, you know i'm a great guy) anatomical logical love (please?) let's join in logical love (for christsakes, i gave you a pony!) let's join in logical love (doesn't that mean anything?) in magical optical entomological probable logical love

Drama Queen 03:36
(verse 1:) You're just a babe, An unfueled flame Crying for some help with life A scar-torn face, A hopeless case Felt the pleasure of the knife A broken home, with love not known Kin and friends make pain tonight The tears they flow, but they will slow I can help you see the light (pre-chorus 1:) if you keep living, i'll keep on giving... (chorus:) She's my little drama queen Her life's so full of tragedy Soap-opera scenes may come and go But through it all I hope she'll know My Love (verse 2:) The cuts and tears, the pain you bear, I can take it all away... It hurts, I know, But I love you so... What else do I have to say? (pre-chorus 2:) just keep on breathing, you'll keep recieving... (chorus:) She's my little drama queen Her life's so full of tragedy Soap-opera scenes may come and go But through it all I hope she'll know She's my little drama queen A sweet young girl, a sweet sixteen Her happiness may come and go But through it all I hope she'll know (bridge;) My Love... let it go to you My Love... let it burn through you My Love.. you are all the makes my world spin round and round you're the joy i have found you can make me feel like it's all still real! (pre-chorus 3:) it keeps repeating, but we're not retreating! (chorus:) She's my little drama queen Her life's so full of tragedy Soap-opera scenes may come and go But through it all I hope she'll know She's my little drama queen A sweet young girl, a sweet sixteen Her happiness may come and go But through it all I hope she'll know She's my little drama queen Her life's so full of tragedy Soap-opera scenes may come and go But through it all I hope she'll know She's my little drama queen A better life I hope she'll see When darkness flees and light shall show And through it all I'm sure she'll know My Love... My Love!

hey love i wrote this song to find what you've known all along to try and find myself again and there's a giant part of me that stands in the way of all i see that piece is more than just a friend so just take a look my dear in your father's funhouse mirror what i see is what you'll find cuz in case you haven't noticed you've nearly always been the focus of my loving heart and mind girl please come back home to the place where i belong and the time has come to show that you were wrong girl you know it's right there's a thing called destiny let's not waste another night time to join in harmony you say you love me, and i love you too but there's a message that isn't getting through we've blocked a connection that runs deep but know a love that once was lost can now be found, and at no cost the price of our love, it isn't steep human nature, what it was i know it was more than that because something special is more than just a friend feelings once felt never go away they just hide b'hind human jars of clay let's plunder our rupees of love and win girl please come back home to the place where i belong and the time has come to show that you were wrong girl you know it's right there's a thing called destiny let's not waste another night time to join in harmony you say you don't love me it's not how you feel i say that's crazy talk, this feeling's real cuz deep down in our hearts we both know it's true and the one who needs help unlocking it is you there's a reason why i wrote this song and i lied, i've known who i am all along it's to show you the future is comin' up fast and there's no need to be constrained by the past the pain we both put each other through i wasn't killing me, i was killing you our perfect little oasis, our paradise was quickly shattered by the point of a knife could barely see your face the day after i died a parting kiss to hush my childish cries and with that kiss my world came to an end that's when i knew that you could never love me again! TRY JUST TRY TO BELIEVE COME ON AND TRY YOU GOTTA TRY and never means forever, that's a mighty long time but you can never say never always a chance no matter how improbable so i'm giving you my all and i'll be here when you call standing on the wall, i'm feeling ten feet tall and i want it all - and i want you it's like a drug i can't quit i can't get enough can't stop trying and i can't quite get what i need but the sun is shining up around the bend where the line gets blurred between lover and friend (i cannot wait) (to see the day) (you say my name) (and smile and wave) so i take one more step take another breath another day alive, another day towards death but it's all worth it when i see you smile it gets me by for a little while (i've got to hide) (can't say goodbye) (it breaks my mind) (i cannot find) gotta try gotta strive gotta work gotta live gotta love gotta hope got to give and give it all give it all until there's nothing left and then dig deep down and give a little more of my soul (let's make a date) (let's stay up late) (let's have some fun) (let's mug a nun) to the girl who is worthy of all my pain she brings a sunny sky when i'm filled with rain do anything to make her happy tell a joke just to see that beautiful smile (she makes me smile) (she makes me laugh) (she makes me feel like i'm a man) she's just a dream come true, that girl, she is you you know i know you don't agree, whatever you're being stubborn cuz i know that you care just relax and sit back and before you know it soon you'll be there (the future's now) (don't ask me how) (ask chairman mao) (a flying cow) you'll be there and i will be too together united unstoppable fighting the new tomorrow the one with the robots evil zombie robots sent by dr. clown the dread pirate roberts won't let us down (when will i see) (what's yet to be) (my dreams will come) (my will be done) see the ninjas watch them go wait you can't cuz your eyes are much to slow but we know that we're winning from the number of corpses with ninjato wounds wrapped in kunai with chain (i just can't wait) (to see your face) (and i just hope) (you're smiling) a brighter future is nigh once the flying nuns die they're just getting in our way and we'll stand and rejoice and sing in one voice once captain ninja-pirate saves the day (you smile) (you smile) (and you smile) (still you smile) and you'll smile and i'll smile becuase you smiled and you're smile's super-cute and we'll take all of the aborted mutant zombie chicken fetuses and throw them into the hudson bay yeah (i love you and) (you love me we're) (one big happy) (family) and our lives will be wonderful everything joyful no pain or suffering and this beautiful future could all be yours if you just say one thing - (so smile...) just say you love me...

another song for you, another lovesick tune another empty beat the chords are ringing true, the lyrics flowing through down an empty street like a beggar i stumble alone down this broken dreary life then like clockwork it's you once again come to shine and be the light so bright you wipe away the tears, you calm my foolish fears you offer hope and love i fail to find a way, endearing words to say that this just isn't enough you say "that's all," you're off, on your way off to live your separate life and when you're gone i beg you to stay because i need you through the night i'm lonesome with fright someday i'll find those words that elude me someday i know that i'll get things right someday i'll set things as they should be someday i won't be alone in the night i feel i'm stuck inside, i'm trapped within my mind i can't connect to you i curse the painted walls, i pace the empty halls but there's no breaking through i ramble on about such foolish words as "love" and "hope" but i can see you fading away at the cut end of my rope you're so extraordinary, nothing ordinary yer mind is blissed so sharp, so literary, massive coronary if i made the list do anything to get to you steal a car, a bus, a plane it just makes sense, yet i feel the fool when your look drives me insane it's given me pain someday i'll find those words that elude me someday i know that i'll get things right someday i'll set things as they should be someday i won't be alone in the night someday i know that your love will find me someday we'll paint camp tamarack red someday you'll smile just as i say "finally!" someday i'll have you before i'm dead and i don't think that you're hoping i die soon... and thus ends another song for you

Hello there, did you miss me? Well, I surely missed you, you've been silent, Silent as the lambs once the wolves have had their way with them But you know that feeling, you know it all too well, because that feeling and a certain attitude have put you in your own private hell Now I wish I could help, but just like you told me, there's a thing called distance When I offered my hand to do anything I could You just dismissed it But this doesn't change the way I feel at all not one little bit Cuz I've made up my mind to continue loving you Even when you don't give a shit, now I know you know deep in your heart I'm the best thing that you'll ever/never have So if I'm the king of self-destruction be my queen, it's destiny! So just picture yerself a little house in the trees or in the rocks And you and me out front sitting on a swing watching a child learn to walk! But you disowned that dream so easily And turned off pleasant thought And put on a kettle of seperation Now it's steaming and boiling hot! So just let it all rain down on me Until I'm covered in mud But when push comes to shove, I'm telling you girl, Before this is over, there's gonna be blood! Blood in the desert, blood in the streets Blood in your heart and blood in your veins Blood that stings with the bitter thought Of all the things that you never could change Cuz you can't change, No you can't, Unless you want to, but you won't comprimise But that's why I feel the way I do When I see that fire burning when I look into your eyes Well I would if I could but I can't so I don't want to pain my heart anymore with dreams But you're all that I want and all that I see When I look outside at that crazy beautiful world of ours With the leaves on the trees turning colors Another warm sunny day And the birds scream at me to go to Arizona so I can finally be with you! So when the war is finally over and the day is done I want you there standing at my side as one And as we stand together on the rubble you look up at my face And you smile. And that one little smile makes the whole world a better place Because your radiance shines with a brilliant glow even in these darkest of hours As mankind stands on the verge of extinction thanks to bitterness and hatred amongst the world's powers But with you there, I know I can face the apacolypse your spunky attitude slices through the pestillence & greed Like a hot knife through bread, scorching a trail towards a brighter tomorrow for all the children of the world But that's just wishful thinking, I'm just a foolish dreamer I'm foolish to feel the way that I do and it's foolish to think this could ever work out And it's foolish to think we could ever be together and it's foolish to think we could ever meet eachother and it's foolish to feel so much for someone so far away and it's foolish to like someone that's so out of my range And it's foolish to love and it's foolish to care and it's foolish to want and it's foolish to need and it's foolish to think that I'll ever fuck you on all fours in our own shitty bed in our own shitty apartment But I'm a foolish sort of guy! And I still believe that all of these dreams will someday come true! And until that day comes I'll just sit here alone and hold you in my heart while I wait like a stone! A stones throw away from a rock fight, but not tonight! No, not ever! Things are gonna change! But I can dream, can't I? Mr. King, I too have a dream! Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall! Mr. Bungle, get off that carosel! get down from your high horse! You guys played your last when the peppers kicked your ass! Tell My Love Now, what class! Tell Me Baby, you're growin' up fast! But this constant frustration alienation californication spaceman station across the nation has killed us all at last! Broken down at the dead disco now that Florida's sunk and all has come to pass! But although all the great ships have sunk and the fires of the ocean burn high into the sky, through the fire and the flames and the smoke on the water, one sound rings true! That sound is the beating of the DRUMS!!! Always pounding, always sounding, never ceasing to beat! The drums of war! Dr. Pepper, could you make them stop?!?! As we march to the beat of a different drum, march to drums of the damned as we come! We come marching through the bombed-out ruins of the village square! The smell of ash, the sound of music, the feeling of change is in the air! Because the future is soon and the future is now! And we'll march this black parade and follow old glory into a new day! And as I smile and stare up at that red, white, & blue, I close my eyes, and all I can think of... ...is you. It's true... you're all I can think of...
