Pantala Naga Pampa

Come and relax now Put your troubles down No need to bear the weight of your worries You let them all fall away

Pig

Oh isn't it strange, How we move our lives for another day like skipping a beat But if a great wave should wash us all the way just thinking out loud don't mean to dwell on this dying thing but look at my love It's alive right now Deep outside sweet within Pouring through our veins Intoxicate moving wine to tears and drinking And in the evening spend dancing you and me OH this love will open our world from the dark side we can see the glow of something right oh there's much more we can see here Don't burn the day away Don't burn the day Don't burn the day away Is this not enough? this blessed sip of life is it not enough Staring down at the ground Or then complain and pray for more from above You greedy little thing Stop just what your world ticking away I'd jump problem now and all be dead and gone in a few short years OH Just love will open our eyes Just love will put the hope back in our minds Much more then we could ever know oh so Don't burn the day Away Don't burn the day Away Come sister, my brother Shake up your bones, shake up your feet I'm saying, open up And let the rain come pouring in Watch out this high notion All that the best is yet to come In all while your dancing on the ground Don't think of oh when your done Love (love) Love (love) Love (love) What more is this? Cause we need the light of love in here Don't beat your head Dry your eyes Let the love in there There's been times But that's ok Just look the love in there And don't burn the day Away Look here I will weap on this starry night staring into space And I must say I feel as small as dust lying down here What point could I be traveling? Head down wondering what would become of me Why can't sun, we cannot see But no reason to abandon it The kindness, your time that's alright Maybe I'll go out in the middle of the night And take your hand from your eyes my love All good things must come to an end sometime But don't burn the day Away Don't burn the day Away Come sister, my brother Shake up your bones, shake up your feet I'm saying, open up And let the rain come pouring in Watch out this high notion All that the best is yet to come But all while your dancing on the ground Don't think of when your gone Love (love) Love (love) Love (love) What more is this? Cause we, need the light of love in here Don't beat your head Dry your eyes Let the love in there The bad times Well That's ok Just look the love in here yeah! Just let the love in here

The Stone

I've this creeping Suspicion that things are not as they seem Reassure me Why do I feel as if I'm in too deep I've been praying For some way to show them I'm not what they see Yes I have done wrong But what I did I thought needed be done I swear Unholy day If I leave now I might get away This weighs on me As heavy as stone and as blue as I go I was just wondering if you'd come along To hold up my head when my head won't hold on I'll do the same if the same's what you want If not I'll go I will go alone I'm a long way From that fool's mistake and now forever pay No, run I will run and I'll be ok I was just wondering if you'd come along To hold up my head when my head won't hold on I'll do the same if the same's what you want If not I'll go I will go alone I need so To stay in your arms, see you smile, hold you close And it weighs on me As heavy as stone and a bone chilling cold I was just wondering if you'd come along Tell me you will

The Last Stop

Fire The sun is well asleep Moon is high above Fire grows from the east How is this Hate so deep Lead us all so blindly killing killing Fools we are If hate's the gate to peace This is the last stop For raining tears War The only way to Peace I don't fall for that Raining tears You're righteous, so righteous You're always so right Go ahead and dream Go ahead believe that you are the chosen one Raining tears Oh no Gracious even God Bloodied the cross Your sins are washed enough Mother's cry "Is hate so deep Must a baby's bones This hungry fire feed?" As smoke clouds roll in The symphony of death This is the last stop Scream Right is wrong now Shut up you big lie This black and white lie You comb your hair to hide Your lying eyes You're righteous, so righteous You're always so right But why your lie Go ahead and dream Go ahead believe that you are the chosen one This is the last stop Here there's more than is showing up Hope that we can break it down It's not so black and white You're righteous You're righteous You're righteous You're always so right There you are nailing a good tree Then say forgive me, forgive me Why Raining tears This is the last stop Here there is more than is showing up Hope that we can break it down It's not so black and white

The Dreaming Tree

Standing here The old man said to me "Long before these crowded streets Here stood my dreaming tree" Below it he would sit For hours at a time Now progress takes away What forever took to find Now he's falling hard He feels the falling dark How he longs to be Beneath his dreaming tree Conquered fear to climb A moment froze in time When the girl who first he kissed Promised him she'd be his Remembered mother's words There beneath the tree "No matter what the world You'll always be my baby" Mommy come quick The dreaming tree has died The air is growing thick A fear he cannot hide The dreaming tree has died Oh have you no pity This thing I do I do not deny it All through this smile As crooked as danger I do not deny I know in my mind I would leave you now If I had the strength to I would leave you up To your own devices Will you not talk Can you take pity I don't ask much But won't you speak Please From the start She knew she had it made Easy up 'til then For sure she'd make the grade Adorers came in hordes To lay down in her wake She gave it all she had But treasures slowly fade Now she's falling hard She feels the fall of dark How did this fall apart She drinks to fill it up A smile of sweetest flowers Wilted so and soured Black tears stain the cheeks That once were so admired She thinks when she was small There on her father's knee How he had promised her "You1ll always be my baby" "Daddy come quick The dreaming tree has died I can't find my way home There is no place to hide The dreaming tree has died" Oh if I had the strength... Take me back Save me please

Spoon

Spoon has come Stirring my Coffee I thought of you and turned to the gate and on my way came up with the answers I scratched my head and the answers were gone From hand to hand, Wrist to the Elbow. Read Blood sand could there be god? Crosses Cross out like a wet rag Forgive you why you hung me out to dry. maybe I'm crazy But laughing out loud make the pain pass by And maybe your little crazy From Laughing out Loud With yourself I'm Holding.. I'm holding I'm still falling down still falling Spoon has come Stirring my Coffee I thought of this and turned to the gate And on my way cracked lightning then thunder I hit my head and the storm slipped away And maybe I'm crazy from laughing out loud make it all pass by Maybe your little crazy to laughing out loud make it all right. Laughing out loud (Alanis) From time to time minutes and hours Move ahead soon like a highness In the moon and rise and vanish This drop of hope falls from time (Dave) Spoon in Spoon Strirring my coffee I think of this and turn to go away Well as i walk, the voices behind me say Send the sin come now on way Laugh out loud Come now on way

Stay

We were walking Just the other day It was so hot outside You could fry an egg Remember you were talking I watched as sweat ran down your face Reached up and caught it at your chin Licked my fingertip Wasting time Let the hours roll by Doing nothing for the fun Little taste of the good life Whether right or wrong Makes us want to stay, stay, stay for awhile Later on the sun began to fade Then the clouds rolled over our heads And it began to rain Oh we were dancing mouths open Splashing tongue taste For a moment this good time would never end You and me You and me Just wasting time I was kissing you You were kissing me love From good day into a moonlight Now a night so fine Makes us wanna stay, stay, stay, stay for awhile Wasting time I shall miss these things When it all rolls by What a day Wanna stay, stay, stay, stay for awhile Hey love Oh just groping you Rolling in the mud Stay a while Come on love Wanna stay, stay, stay, stay for awhile

Crush

Crazy, how it feels tonight. Crazy, how you make it all alright, loves. Crush Me, With those things you do And I'll do for you Anything, too, oh... Sitting, smoking, feeling high... And in this moment Oh, it feels so right... Lovely lady, I'm at your feet, Oh, God I want you so badly. And I wonder this Could tomorrow be so wonderous As you lay sleeping. Let's go drive 'til morning comes, Watch the sunrise and fill our souls up, And drink some wine till we get drunk. Yes... Crazy, I'm thinking, Just knowing that the world is round And here I'm dancing on the ground Am I right side up or upside down? And is this real, or am I dreaming? Lovely lady, let me drink you, please. Won't spill a drop, no, I promise you Lying under a spell you cast on me Each moment the more I love you. Crush me, come on Oh, yes... Crazy, I'm thinking Just knowing that the world is round And here I'm dancing on the ground Am I right side up or upside down? Is this real at all, or am I dreaming? Lovely lady, I will treat you sweetly Adore you, I mean... You Crush me, And it's times like these When I think I really know How I love you. Come on, come on, baby... Crazy, I'm thinking Just as long as you're around And here I'll be dancing on the ground Am I right side up or upside down? To each other we'll be facing My love, my love, We'll beat back the pain we've found You know I mean to tell you All the things I've been thinking Deep inside, my friend. Each moment the more I love you. Crush me, come on, baby... So much you have given, oh That I would give you back, again and again. Oh, the love, many now hold you, But please, please, just let me, always.

Halloween

Hey little dreamer's eyes open and staring up at me Oh little lonely eyes open and radiant Wait until I come and I will steal you Wait until I come I'll take your soul Wait until I come and I will steal you Wait until I come and I won't go Darlin' dreamin in the night Shadows on the windows Lead oh and everyone go Well leave me on the night I will give you lightning I will not relinquish light Oh little dreamer eyes open and raving here Wait until I come and see you little girl When we come I'll leave with you too When we come I'll let you come low Hey we'll leave it all behind Oh and then the nightmares I'll fill them in good time Oh they will seat your mind When the light hits And you maybe'll ask me Why do you run around here Why do you come inside of me Why does it rip me out in dream Why then why then watch this little fuck Going away Why this lonely Why this lonely Why this lonely love Why this lonely Why this lonely Why this lonely love Halloween Carry on Bury all Bury all Bury all Bury all Bury all And in this dream Tell us are you satisfied with fucking Don't walk away Don't walk away Don't walk away I'm talking to you Love is hell Love is hell Love is hell Love this I'll tame you Love Love Love Love this not me here Love Love Love Love him up to you

Dont Drink The Water

Come out, come out, no use in hiding. Come out, come out, can you not see There's no place here, what were you expecting? No room for both, just room for me. So you will lay your arms down, Yes, I will call this home. Away, away, you have been banished. Your land is gone, and given to me. And here I will spread my wings. Yes, I will call this home. What's this you say, you feel a right to remain? Then stay and I will bury you. What's that you say, your father's spirit still lives in this place? Well, I will silence you. Here's the hitch, your horse is leaving. Don't miss your boat, it's leaving now. And as you go I will spread my wings. Yes, I will call this home. I have no time to justify to you, Fool, you're blind, move aside for me. All I can say to you my new neighbor, You must move on or I will bury you. Now as I rest my feet by this fire Those hands once warmed here, but I have retired them. I can breathe my own air and I can sleep more soundly Upon these poor souls, I'll build Heaven and call it home. Cause you're all dead now. I live with my justice And I live with my greed in me I live with no mercy And I live with my frenzied feet I live with my hatred And I live with my jealousy I live with the notion that I don't need anyone but me Don't Drink the Water Don't Drink the Water Blood in the water Don't Drink the Water

Rapunzel

Ha, open wide All so good I'll eat you Take me for a ride In your sweet delicious, Perfect little mouth There upon I linger You will have no doubt I'll do my best for you Love... Let's stop to get it going Lost myself just thinking 'Bout the two of us From each other drinking Begin with the lips Fingertips and kissing Turn me inside out I do my best for you Up and down we go From the top you push me This is such a thrill Lost in love and dancing Shake your tamborine You blow my head wide open Of this there's no doubt I do my best for you From you I would crawl Through the darkest dungeon Climb the castle wall You are my Rapunzel You let down your hair Right in through your window Good they locked the door I do my best for you I think the world of you All of my heart I do Bloom through my veins for you You alone have all of me I give my world to you To you I'll be true From you my strength is full To carry your burdens too Too good to be real Smell of something cooking You my soul to steal Food of love we're filling What you've given me For it there is no measure Of one thing I am sure I'll give my best for you Hip lock up so tight You know drive me crazy Crazy is alright With you lookin' at me You make me feel high Every single thing you do to me Is like I'm drunk Given me given me The shiver
