The scent of danger
takes me to the edge of panic
now I¡¯m caught
in the plot
that was thought up
satanic like Mayo
-Dayo,
daylight comes and I wanna get home before I¡¯m burnt by the sun.
I wanna be free in peace love and harmony,
but my veranda be vanishing like carbon see
check the scripture
a picture emerges now its shined
with the twelfth sign of the seventh sturgeons.
And the first is a sleeper
steeped in the force of the dark side
is striked but hold up hell horse.
And the source be above the law like Sir Gal.
The thought of their stare raised my hair like the dog.
Now he stalks where I walks
setting soldiers at the border
and hopes to catch Gueverra actin outta order.
And the fact is I was kidnapped
thrown in the back of the
unmarked van destination unknown
in league with the entry got an Oliver Stone.
We¡¯re starting revolutions
33 and 1/3,
you¡¯re mine now,
was all I heard.
In the jurisdiction marked of the prediction,
cuz the truth stranger than fiction
from the get go
the watcher said so
beware
Sgt. Stiletto.
J Gueverra takes the fifth to those who would drag me under
like coyote to roadrunner,
now the population faces incarceration
while select serpents reach
certain circles of illumination.
Looking over my shoulder,
I¡¯m seeing shadows on the walls.
I¡¯m turning pallid at the thoughts of the gallows.
Seven gables zooming for me cant neglect the connection,
Seven are the sides on the cross on the pendulum,
Stiletta, the name of the nemesis Gueverra,
I¡¯m trapped in the labyrinth.
Assassins be passing me and I amongst their midst,
before my name is known I slip into the mist,
I exist
the Specialist
who persists
to vent the secret entrance I decipher the hieroglyphs
TADA the creek before reveals a door VOILA
and I emerge into the crypt.
In the jurisdiction marked of the prediction,
cuz the truth stranger than fiction
from the get go
the watcher said so
beware
Sgt. Stiletto.
Now I¡¯m strapped to the rack and the terrors on,
God damn
I feel like the man from the marathon,
I gotta bust out or I¡¯m Dustin like Hoffman
and I feel like the mino shit I¡¯m lost.
The little keys unlock the mysteries unknown,
I roam these catacombs like Jones.
I float like a butterfly
see revenge like superfly
and I got high
be on like sky.
I¡¯m making a date with the undertaker
as Stiletta sends me
out to meet my maker.
I charge that cigar that comes like Kool-Aid
and I bust through the wall like a Big Jim Slim.
You trip the switch and you fall through the trap,
your friends are falling in and you can¡¯t get em back,
there¡¯s a dragon underground you heard the bellow,
beware
Sgt. Stiletto.
In the jurisdiction marked of the prediction,
cuz the truth stranger than fiction
from the get go
the watcher said so
beware.
We've got mounds of sounds
so buy them by the pounds or ounces
Countless
are the pistons in this
underweight V-8
With a force like a tornado
We're greater than the sum of our parts,
AAAAAHHHHHH,
it starts
We arise from the peat moss
The inconceivable rapper brings
the Special to the metal
And the artist,
formerly known as Curious
Gave birth to J Guevara,
the wierd scientist
Dig the recital,
it had to be that our
anatomy
was vital
The skinnee apparatus
brings the ivy to the lattice
And the bigguns are enraptured
by the people with thenconch
The melodic symbiotic
like the Geefel to the Gonk
Animal or mineral or something in between
The organic machine
We've got mounds
of sounds
so buy them by the pounds or ounces
Countless
are the pistons
in this underweight
V-8
With a force like a tornado
We're greater than the sum of our parts,
AAAAAHHHHHH, it starts
Hold up,
let me just make this comment
We be universal like Haley's Comet
From our birth
in the cradle of the earth
Where we spread civilization cross
the nation bringing life to the dead
through poetry
from zero gravity to subterranean
The rhyme in my mind
to the brain in your cranium
This one's for my people's
who come straight from the womb
With a box full of rocks
and a bag full of boom
Animal or mineral or something in between
The organic machine
Stumpy, J Guevara, Mel and Special J
Spice, Andy Action, Eddie Eyeball, A-MaysStumpy, J Guevara, Mel and Special J
Spice, Andy Action, Eddie Eyeball, A-Mays
Stumpy, J Guevara, Mel and Special J
Spice, Andy Action, Eddie Eyeball, A-Mays
Stumpy, J Guevara, Mel and Special J
Spice, Andy Action, Eddie Eyeball, A-Mays
We've got vines of rhymes,
we got roots of beats
We got kegs of pegs
over magma heat
We've got engineers
and their instruments
blessed with
supernatural intelligence
We've got hammers,
spanners,
springs
and coils
Through 'em all into a pot
and bring it up to a boil
So come down Skinnee crew
Time to get the job done
We don't need a holy grail,
cause we've already got one.
Animal or mineral
or something in between
The organic machine
Majestic,
you guessed it
A natural born winner
like Bruce Jenner
you can stretch it
but the Skinnee J is thinner
Tim cues up the tape,
here's a tip try Latham
not Latham We box 'em
and we wrap em so
Bring these beats with trash
can snares Reverse high hats,
studio demolition may day
It's a J day when we say
hey hey Stumpy Johnson sets the pace
and we still roll the place
Well you just heard the serve,
but here's my volley
We double up your pleasure,
like Bhoutros Bhoutros Gahli
So forget about your first
and second guesses
And if you want to join the circle,
just order breakfast
Pass the baton to the next and run along
Try a mile in my shoes
and get used
to the phenomenon
On and on like a triathalon
Step to podium, whose the real champion
You're a Champion
You're a Champion
You're a Champion
You're a Champion
You're all Champions
You're all Champions
You're all Champions
You're all Champions
Here I goes,
I flows like a nose in January
Fuck it
drop the bomb like the bucket at the prom in Carrie
Swing like a chimp,
slam like champ
when I grow fat and old they're gonna put me on a postage stamp
I take chances,
I never take shorts
I grab the microphone just for the sport
like soccer
Dribble up the middle and I rock ya
From Cape Town to uptown
I'm burning like Vodka
on your tongue
when I brung
poetry like Suess
When Horton heard me,
they agreed to turn him loose
My cup runeth over with the versus til they spilling
I like to rhyme like Michael loves children
I kick the rhymes like Pele
From the outside I'm a striker
Stronger than caffeine
I make the hyped get hyper
My pythons are viper,
my optics fibres
I'll throw you to the mat like I'm Rowdy Roddy Piper
Spell check in effect,
My rhymes comes corrected
So bring your champion out,
run your race
stake your claim
and collect it
Like Greg Lougainous,
gay and famous,
he gets the gold, like Amays amazes.
You're a Champion
You're a Champion
You're a Champion
You're a Champion
You're all Champions
You're all Champions
You're all Champions

It's the Good

The sun in the sky
and I know it was high noon
Hit the town center and enter the saloon
Six shooter by my side but I'm down by five
And the sign says J Guevara dead or alive
Who shot the sheriff?
I swear it wasn't me
Case taken by mistake identity
Now deputies and mounties
hunt my black ass for bounty
Now I'm jetting to avoid
these Boba Fetting fiends that hound me
There's a rally for an ally
with voice loud like town crier
On a steed name of tumbleweed
arrives the Pale Rider
It's the honkee
on the donkey,
my compadre
Special J
J Guevara knows the graveyard,
but I know the grave
We're guys in our disguises,
with our mustaches phoney
As we exit stage left
we go express like a pony
Then we're loose from the noose
and we're back in the saddle
Lil' Bruto's in the pack
of the riff raff and rabble
It's the Good

It's the Good

We're lost like Atlantis
in this land of the lawless
Legendary mercenary
with an aim that is flawless
In a mess nonetheless
I confess like a sinner
Special J's got my back
while the buzzards got my innards,
for dinner
The cowards cower,
the brave brave the elements
I search the scenery for signs of intelligence
Is this the fate of the J's,
Special and Guevara
Take our last breath of air
up there on the Sierra
Our hopes are dropping,
the temperature is rising
But look over there,
where,
there on the horizon
A lone horseman
approaches behold With gold from stagecoaches
and fortunes fortold
Now dreams of more clams
than found by the seashore
Have got J and I digging graves like Igor
But when the world divides
and men turn on their sons
Those with their shovels
and those with their guns
It's the Good

Special J blowing up like a stick of dynamite
I'm the rootinest tootenist hombre

And I up the ante,
you cant beat the J vigilante
In the shanty

I cause calamaties like Jane

This song goes out to all the ones with coke bottle glasses
To all you lonely kids who were the last picked in gym class
We got your back,
Are you up with the fact?
You're never gonna catch us.
Get up, Get up
cause we're fed up, fed up
Try to rise and keep your head up,
head up
Leave the kinging to kong,
We'll be singin the song
Bring it on,
Bring it on,
Bring it on
It's a sentimental journey,
presenting sentiments of resentments that will burn me.
Unearthing our sharp knives turning slowly blunt.
My role is to unfold so i gotta Face the front.
I used to spend my days,
Dazed and Confused.
Sixteen year underdog
still dawning underoos.
Sorry bout my style
i know my flow sounds used,
Depicted and directed
by the likes of John Huges.
We recycle recitles of enemies and idols.
Unscrawled in the hall like Anthony Michael
I lack plan or title just one of the boys.
On islands and islands of Misfit toys.
Get up, Get up
cause we're fed up, fed up
Try to rise and keep your head up,
head up
Leave the kinging to kong,
We'll be singin the song
Bring it on,
Bring it on,
Bring it on
My field of dreams was a parking lot,
With hot shots doing doughnuts
pissin off the grownups.
Me on the side
writing unrequited love letters,
That I would send
to my imaginary girlfriend.
I had to pretend cuz
I never played football,
The kid drafted last
pick at the wall.
To ease the monotony
of everybody mockin me,
Spend time
tootin rhymes like botany.
Now what i wanna be -
What you wanna be?
To be famous,
I claim this
try to gain this.
But sometimes it's haneous
the way the shameless
Surround me like they're tryin to drown me.
I'm lookin for all intelligent life forms
I'm lookin for a blip on the screen.
So I can reach out and touch somebody,
anybody,
everybody.
This song goes out to all the ones with coke bottle glasses
To all you lonely kids
who were the last picked in gym class
We got your back,
Are you up with the fact?
You're never gonna catch us.
Get up,

cause we're fed up,
fed up
Try to rise and keep your head up,

Leave the kinging to kong,

Bring it on,
Bring it on,

With depravity,
I break lots of gravity
Blast past the atmosphere
to the last frontier
I go boldly through space and time
The sky's the limit,
but the limit isn't the sky
I break orbit by habit,
I ignite satellites and leave rings round the planets
A flying ace like that beagle,
nevertheless this alien remains illegal
Cause their discovery don¡¯t cover me
the immigrants been left in the cold
to grow old
and disintegrate
Discriminate
against the distant and disclaimers,
Cause small minds can't see past Uranus
When I shun their race
cause that's just a phase
and my odyssey runs in 2001 ways
And I can see clearly now like Hubbell
shoved off the shuttle,
here's my rebuttal
It's a planet.
Who do you represent?
I represent the smallest planet
A tourney in this journey
versus those who tried to ban it.
If you don't agree
go see interplanet Janet Cause
the sun is star like
Pluto
is planet.
So lend me all ears
and let me state my case,
about all the types of satellites we must embrace
Cause like parents'
great-grandparents,
this planet was an immigrant,
to deport it¡¯s an offense.
It's an upstanding member of the solar system
Abide the laws of Earth and make it a victim.
Of Proposition
107,
When Pluto spawns a moon it will apply to the heavens.
A dandy like Judas of a chariot
If you demote this boat
remote to a goat
It's like taking ET¡¯s custody from Elliot,
support yours
clearly put cause,
simply put Pluto is a planet. Pluto!
Pluto is a planet. Pluto!
Pluto is a planet. Pluto!
Pluto is a planet. Pluto!
Do it
for the
children,
if not for yourself.
Pluto

Ball Point Man
Up, up, and away.
Ball Point Man's come to save the day.
Up, up, and away.
Ball Point Man's come to save the day.
Up, up, and away.
Ball Point Man's come to save the day.
Up, up, and away.
Ball Point Man's come to save the day.
I've got sass and savvy,
pack flash by the paragraph
I'm more novel than War and Peace
I fight beasts
up to the teeth on the daily
My pen is my sword and thank Lord, never fails me.
I remember back in the days of my youth
When I used to run around
on the block with a few friends
Knickers
and Kickers
and stickers on our Big Wheels,
Mindtricks
and Kung Fu grips
was the big deal.
At nighttime we'd fight crime
Defending civilians
mounting extra sensory offenses
against the villians
by the millions
cause we instilled fear,
Jimmy quit,
Joey got married,
but I'm still here
Up, up, and away.
Ball Point Man's come to save the day.
Up, up, and away.
Ball Point Man's come to save the day.I've got my head in the clouds but I'm grounded.
The superhero's stuck to the pavement and I'm pounded.
Astounded by the sound of unfounded speculation
by authorities around to confound the population.
Now look whose well
I propose top break the shell.
The coffee shop carves lights into the spill
these visions of cathedrals from a shopping mall,
and philosophy from a bathroom wall.
So what can I expect without hesitation,
to my devastation
my notebook is my battlefield I run tons of slums
and I can leap a metaphor in a single bound
Up, up, and away.
Ball Point Man's come to save the day.
Up, up, and away.
Ball Point Man's come to save the day.
I'm biding my time
I'm biding my time
I'm biding my time
I'm biding my time
I'm biding my time
waiting for a sign
to be sent to me
to unleash the power of my secret identity,
but until that day
I will stay for the time being
incognito laying low with my rhyme scheme.
But Shazam.
I marvel like the captain
and my inopportunistic impotence
in the face of distraction,
in action makes me a good guy
like Mathis, so I battle Black Mantis
in the bathtub , like Aquaman.
Minions of evil heed this tirade,
it's a parade of polemics and I love a parade
so I ride into the sunset
with the money and the girl
but in my spare time I still save the world
Up, up, and away.
Ball Point Man's come to save the day.
Up, up, and away.
Ball Point Man's come to save the day.
Come check us out
We're two stereo bean poles.
You say that you don't know
but your Pinocchio nose grows
we¡¯re the ones juxtaposing'
any style that you like.
And it goes right into the mix,
when we style on the Mic.
We're analytical,
ain¡¯t that political
And Yo, we step up to the mic,
subject to ridicule
we¡¯re meticulous,
ain't that ridiculous
We¡¯re in all 7 feet
we¡¯re mobydickulous.

Well it's the high stepping kid
from the 514
but now Brooklyn is the borough
when I step out my door.
We be All-City champions
from Boogy down to Staten.
Full throttle
on the bottle
like the genie in Aladdin.
Alive get live
inside this life of curious,
as I sing a song that soon
must leave you all delirious.
A hallucinogenic
my phonetics
get frenetic when I said it
my hyperbole is hyper,
my energy kinetic.
Yeah! Yeah!

I¡¯m a creature,
of my surroundings,
or more likely of the creatures
that surround me.
I live in rats and roaches
swallowed whole like Jonus.
I spent my rent so I vent
Across the bridges to emigrate
from 212
to 718.
Who¡¯s this what¡¯s this
I does this cause I love this,
I run right through the hole
getting hard like Dick Butkis.
Yeah! Yeah!

Here's the confessions of an unrepentant Skinnee
From the depths of my soul
in my hole in New York City
I arose from my frozen abode
in the north Came forth on course
and write my rhymes from the source
To delight Dr. Lecter I'll recite some invective of my own
Here's my quid pro quo Omens and portents
have come forth in torrents
It's time to realize my rise
has been foretold
From the sticks to the streets
I beat a path that'll last
I came to NYC by the way of the pasture
Naive and pure,
I stepped from the steppes
From the pie to the apple
like Ming it's merciless
But my mastery of majesty brings tragedy
My mastery of majesty brings tragedy
My insanity loves company
so I stray into the fray
cause the chaos comforts
But some of thee in front of me
want to rumble The fauna, causing trauma
in the jungle I be
the lion in winter,
the hinterland
dweller Accapella
dash fast like a sprinter
Test me like litmus,
but witness the fitness
Of my wit
quick come get with this
The sun comes up and I run with the animals
Enter wild kingdom
The sun goes down and I run from the cannibals
Enter wild kingdom
The sun comes up and I run with the animals
Enter wild kingdom
The sun goes down and I run from the cannibals
Enter wild kingdom
Due to my ability
to flow with agility
I take my place amongst the nobility
But fuck the futility,
my mobility is upwards
But my cupboards be bare like Hubbard's
and it's killing me
Stress make me pound my chest like a Gorrilla
be To prove my verility
search for sense and sensibility
Like Austin
I lost in Philly, D.C.
or Boston
so I jet back to Willy B
But trust in me,
like Kaa said to Mowgli
I've escaped the snake like Houdini,
so hold me Enthralling,
I'm calling like the wild 100% intelligent man-child
Now I'm making ends
and I'm trying to make ends meet
Hoping that the enemy and lurking
where my friends be To feed
on em like a frenzy of pirhannas
While some silly Sallies
dilly dally
like the Lama Make no mistake,
I'll frustrate them when they hunt me
More underground than Salman Rushdie
My learning's obscuring like Jude
I want to walk like you,
I want to talk like you
so what's the hullaballoo,
we've got the bear necessities
I'll secure you're secrets with my opens
and my sesames effervescently sent to inlay,
rhizomes,
like Jim Jones says Hey,
KoolAid
The sun comes up and I run with the animals
Enter wild kingdom
The sun goes down and I run from the cannibals
Enter wild kingdom
The sun comes up and I run with the animals
Enter wild kingdom
The sun goes down and I run from the cannibals
Enter wild kingdom
Get Down,

Listen to the Sound
Get Down,

Get Down,
Get Down,
Listen to the Sound
Look deep into my iris,,
its the reason on wet papyrus,
your mind is bliss the hieroglyphs
are explicit.
Ancient arts are a part of existence.
Drive through the tribe
of the vibe of terrorist blast
through the true blue like selouvious.
It¡¯s the source of my voice be the key to big Enhances
now you dances like UVA,
like dumpling its fabulous,
like the coming miraculous,
ain¡¯t it something
how we do with gumption
its a safe assumption
that we get the party bumping,
small wonder itching under my influence
its over I¡¯m taking over in increments,
I look tight in my vice like Miami,
the super powered ocean gets ya moving to the power of the whammy.
Get Down,
Get Down,
Listen to the Sound
Get Down,
Get Down,
Listen to the Sound
Get Down,
Get Down,
Listen to the Sound
Get Down,
Get Down,
Listen to the Sound
The power of suggestions
got you on your knees depression.
Dimensions will rise
before your eyes disguise
to initial DUI¡¯s
you try to fight your face
influenced by undermind,
you spread to the head like inspection.
The ghost in my throat
towards an infection.
The conventions between resistance and absence.
You will power. We vanquish the masses
like allies to ashes you dances.
You¡¯re tricked by the tricks you design,
the thoughts are racing around your mind,
more of which you is ritual,
we bring emerging energies
forming mastered individuals.
With the nieve kid
would he
can he, ugh,
I hit him with the whammy.
Call me Special,
stickman stencil,
thin like pencil
I've got a thumb so I can pick up and use them utensils
My credential, I'm prehensile
And I may be standing still now,
but my energy has potential
Boom!
We explode like the hedgehog,
sonically
We're dooma to the goombas
when we jump up Marionically
It's immaterial,
cause I'm ethereal
Some day my face will be seen on a box of cereal
I ride with the pride of the lion on my mane
But you can only know me as I exist upon this plane
All the same,
what's my name?
You must be joking
upon pain of death
can my true name be spoken
In the morning
I storm in and swarm without warning
Shift shape and rise like the Phoenix from the flame I reign collosal,
fueled like fossil
Doing the impossible,
raising dead
as I spread
the gospel Of the skinnee
to the many it's a J day
Your whack attackers
lack it so just pack it
like a K-way
J's intended to be splendid
when we send it Rip shit up
and then we mend it
Ain't no body, does it better,
ain't no body, does it better,
then J!
Ain't no body, does it better,
ain't no body, does it better,
then J!
A Word to the skeptics and the cynical
We're the ones who taught Him how to make a miracle
Before you make a scene say we blaspheme,
cut the fuss Take a look at the good book,
that was us
From the top of the zenith,
we're the pinnacle For the squeamish
any skirmish is unwinnable
As we travel like Odysseus throughout the universe
Alerting we be certain
that we're converting earth first
Ain't no body, does it better,
ain't no body, does it better,
then J!
Ain't no body, does it better,
ain't no body, does it better,
then J!
Power, might, glory, omnipotence
With my hands behind my back
I still control all of the elements
We're heaven sent
so we rule all creation
All that's evil
runs before me wailing lamentations
Blink and you missed it,
the futuristic existence
From another plane I came and it'll never be the same
Naw it's better,
Hail the nappy heada Incision with precision
and I'm skinnee like stilletta
I'm beheading serpents this serpent-head medusa
Refusing to give in cause I'm living like Methusela
Fighting off your evil
as your mental's getting feeble
and you wobble like a weeble
Just chill,
Skinnee J's
raise the upheaval
Missed it on the first time,
now catch the sequel
Return of the new
and improved
and I'm smooth
Ain't nobody does it better,
here's the proof
Ain't no body, does it better,
ain't no body, does it better,
then J!
Ain't no body, does it better,
ain't no body, does it better,
then J!
Check out the scene,
we¡¯re stuck in a tractor beam
With the R-2 Unit
and the whole skinnee team
From the moons of Endor
to the Land of Lando
We take the whole damn posse
to wherever the van goes
The chase is on
and we¡¯re close to capture
Imperial forces don¡¯t really know what they¡¯re after
Which way did they go?
Which way did they go?
Excuse me for the question but I really go to know
My rosy glasses
give me passage
inside the minds of masses
so relax when I ask this
Did you come to kick my ass,
or get your ass kicked
I¡¯m a mellow fellow not afraid of being yellow
But will I run from a gun when confronted,
hell no.
I¡¯m Obi Wan
I¡¯ll use the force.
These are not the J¡¯s you¡¯re looking for
I hold my light saber with precision and invision
the invader¡¯s demolition,
rebel on a mission
To defeat ¡®em red leader gonna be there in a flash
exit to the X-Wing
flexing with the crash
Skinnee¡¯s in control.
Now we go for gold.
Like Han but never Solo cause my crew be in the hold
Chillin g like Hoth they can¡¯t touch us
with their blasters We learned
at the feet of the masters
It¡¯s an old Jedi Mind Trick
It¡¯s an old Jedi Mind Trick
It¡¯s an old Jedi Mind Trick
It¡¯s an old Jedi Mind Trick
Hold up
I froze up
when the speeders showed up
The shield¡¯s are down and the shit¡¯s about to blow up
Imperial forces want to force us to extinction
But my force is from the source,
so of course I trust my instincts
turn up the song, babe you know you wanna hear the truth
as it resonates so clear inside your head
well i've been trying to start over
getting back to all the promises i made
it was a damn cold night, when she left me
and i'll be damned if i let her catch me in this state
i cant let you fall for me again
cause heartache is the only thing that you can comprehend
its wasted and over
life's weighting on your shoulders
and i'm all you need in a friend
so dear, what makes you so afraid to feel
like all these broken hearts aren't real
without you, i could never make it on my own
not it hurts to be alone
but everything you said
is running through this head, now
can we get back to yesterday
and i don't know, one things for sure
what makes you think that this is self control?
and if we could take another shape it'd be
(well i'm waiting for)
a letter marked a words with don't mean anything to me
cause i cant let you fall for me again
cause jealousy's the only things that you can understand
they say that you're fine on your but its a lie
and all you know is falling
what makes you think you're on your own?
(on your own)
and she said
"i like the way it is oh, out here in california
some day i'll find my way"
think twice and let it sink in
like a note with a photograph that makes you wanna stay
who would've guessed that a poet and a jewel
would end up a liar and a tool
no ones expecting much at all
and i need to be alone
with words that you will never know inside
shes burning
and farther down
keep spinning in circles
so kiss me now
and i will tell you
i like the way it is oh, out here in california
some day ill find my way
think twice and let it sink in
like a note with a photograph that makes you wanna stay
and i break
at the sound of the morning
the sounds so alarming to hear
maybe life is not so bad
in another time would you still call my name?
cause i cant hear you
and farther down
keep spinning in circles
so kiss me now
and i will tell you
i like the way it is oh, out here in california
some day ill find my way
think twice and let it sink in
like a note with a photograph that makes you wanna stay
and i can't stop
holding your grudge now
its what i'm not
part of your falling out
and all this time
and i'm just like gravity
with the way i pull you down to me
you're fighting it with wrong intentions
i'll try not to scream at you
but you know what you're missing girl
you only have so many chances
second chances, you never knew
so take your words
play them back cause they're all i know
and start it over again
lets make this more intoxicating love
you always know
just enough to keep me holding on
lets play your game
cause i wrote
so many different versions
i don't even know
what i've been singing, yeah
painting every town the same
looking over your shoulder for a little while
just a pawn in your sick game
using me so you can get the king
oh i'm wanting you so bad
but i don't want to
cause i don't want you
anymore than i have to
play them back cause they're all i know
and start it over again
lets make this more intoxicating love
you always know
just enough to keep me holding on
lets play your game
oh you know
maybe our lies will bring us together
don't say a word before i break down
and all i hear is "i'm over you"
and time will only tell if were meant to
Ahh this is Precious

Because I am the bridge and that's a fact

I'm gonna take the time, to talk to you
About somethin old, but oh so new
You see marriage to me is like thick and thin
A promise forever, that could never end

He better think about it first cause I'm talkin bout life
You see I'm talkin bout the good things with the bad
You see I'm talkin bout happiness with the sad
You see I'm talkin bout a thing called tender lovin care
A man not a mouse who will always be there
Someone that I can be all my life around
To keep me up, and never let me down

A microphone and bass for life they carry

Too hot to trot, I'm Blondie

Love livin and makin funk forever
tell me all the sights you've seen
and all the places that have kept you away from me
under the same stars
could never shine so bright inside
make up for all the pain she hides
but we all do it sometimes
sometimes you have to show
all i needed was something to hold on to
in love with a different point of view
and all alone when the lights start to flicker
will you be there?
and i can feel you moving through the airwaves
then seeping back into my head
sleeping alone, never felt the same
cause i know you'll let me down
make it a promise to be distant
and fail to let me know when you're in town
so i don't get angry at nothing
you know i've heard it all before and
we try so hard
but fail with open arms
outside, shes wasting away as seasons change
when a smiles the only bait you ever needed
you catch me everytime
she is used to fighting off the silhouettes
and burnt out cigarettes
what if the world should end today
would you be certain
the love you had you gave away
to all deserving
flash of light and the moments gone
but not forgotten
a thief in the night has called you home
it seems were lost in love
oh sweet love
oh life's too short to waste it on a fools pursuit of gold
the truth is all we really need is love
i look to you and know that you are watching over me
cause i believe the end will justify the means
love is all we need
we try to hold what we cant keep
to see it slip through
hands were never meant to be
unable to reach you
I've been looking for a sign
A little something that you're after
It's starting to show
The word faithful isn't mine
And I lie for cruel intentions
You know, you'll never let go
So let me go
Calm down
Learn to hide your nerves now
Knowing half the battles all pretend
Are you all in, all in?
So won't you look now
Falling faster, straight down
This moments sure to trap you in the end
Are you all in, all in?
Or are you out?
Every ending has its dream
And every kiss can last a lifetime
So girl, come show me whats real
You're all over me tonight
Lets the alcohol decide
If I, can find peace and swallow pride
And let you go
Go play your game
We won't go down without a fight
You're still the same
Can you save this from the inside?
Can you see whats going on?
As her walls crumble down
She's awkwardly seen to be ahead of the crowd
And she's nothing short of star-bound
Unlike everyone she's had
She's a fashion trend that's waiting to happen
But one that never goes out of style
And her name should be in lights above the Hollywood sign
I would give my life to know whats on her mind
But she doesn't like all this hype in her name
She might disappear again
There was something more about her that I knew
I can't imagine someone doing those things to you
Like a flower were all waiting for you to bloom
Connecting everyone to you
Sit around and wait for hours by the phone
And all the while you're wondering will I be alone
So why die?
Go live your life
It happens so please dont cry
So she gives him one last try
Hoping that this all has opened her eyes
Like a match being lit underwater again
She lets the waves swallow her whole
Cry your eyes
Dry them out this shouldn't be the way you feel
Pick yourself up
i've been waiting all night
watching as this moonlight shines through your hair
and tell me this will never last
just tell me this is in the past
cause i'm all yours my dear
and you say, say that you were ready
but we know, you were never ready for whats to come
and watching from your window
thats all i can do
till hes done
till hes done with you
and i'm so impressed
by the way that she moves her hands down my chest
is this love again?
so go on
describing how i make you feel
cause its all i wanna hear
well maybe you're right
maybe now is not the time
for just a whisper of the things
that we hold dear
and maybe stars will grace your sky
like open arms and wonder why
she cries inside
bring these walls down again
cause i don't know where she goes
I have a story that I have to tell
To get it off my chest, if anyone cares
It wont take too long
Though it might make you cry
Cause when I first heard it I had a tear in my eye
I'll tell it in first person so you don't get confused
There once was a princess, so perfect, so cute
As my heart started to fall
I quickly realized
That this could be the girl that I've needed all my life
As time went by, it seemed like fate
The late night talks, and overnight dates
But this fairy tale, that I've started to tell
Ends a little different and now I don't feel to well
It's hard to believe
That you weren't meant for me
It doesn't seem fair
No matter how hard I try
Its hard to believe
That you weren't meant for me
It doesn't seem fair
Cause you just set the mark for the rest of my life
And I won't settle for less
Even if I have to search
Till I die
Do you think this was easy for me
Well I've got news
It's the hardest thing I've ever had to go through
I keep reaching for your hand
But all I feel is this cold sand
As I sit here and watch these waves crash down
I want to give up, but I can't make a sound
Looks like I missed my chance again
Cause in these games I can never win
And the saints will come marching in
Telling you the things that I've been trying to tell you
Over and over again
That you were meant for me
It doesn't some fair
No matter
well i've been wondering how these words will sound
as they force they're way out of your mouth
and leave your throat sore so that you cant argue back
and i know its hard to speak the truth
when you look at me now as lovers sometimes do
well i've felt the weight
believe me you don't know anything
i don't have you
i'm all alone
but so what
well i'm happy now
and thats more than i can say for you
so sing along
to our anthem or our theme song, call it what you want
oh baby, this is where we stop
and i write my songs to tell you off
oh forget
every memory you look back on and regret
has this sickness caused you problems yet?
cause its the only thing that i've got left
well i know you're feeling uncomfortable
like you're underdressed at your funeral
and your family's losing faith because of you
and so, so go
show me how to live
like you i wanna see you live
right now, oh right now
feeling you were
say that you were ready
but we know
i've seen it done before
the way she comes and goes
but i offer myself with no strings attached
cause you're all wrapped in them so please
when i take off my shirt
choose me for me
and not the heart thats on my sleeve
yeah i'd have to be so stupid to believe
and i have
the strength to carry on
this is how we are
cheating without a kiss
is possible, its possible
so you
no not even you
you with your tiny hands
can slip inside and sew me up
with one of your strings, god knows you have enough
why don't you break free from your chains girl
the rust has eaten them half through
and i cant bare to live to see you dying
when i'm dying to see you live
its like a curse i cant shake
you're like a habit i cannot break
and i'm so tired from being awake
why is hell always my escape
i don't know what i'm to do
oh you, you've been lusting around
and i, noticed something permeating from your cheek
so go, give it up cause you want to
you played me good
well i hope you're way more advanced at breaking hearts than i am
so sing along to all i hate
i cannot stand
where this is going
i've known so long that you've already played me out
what should i know?
why wont you tell me, the secrets no one knows
your eyes have opened since
this record player shows how it should have been
oh yeah so you see things straight now
at least now you know what were all about
so sing along to all i hate
these words they hurt my ears
they say i've been to soft
but you're the one my dear
who has failed the game of love
you excel at being used
you know, you say that this turns you on
but i could do it to
when i die and they lay me in the dirt
the sign will say
"here lies ziggen comabert(?)
devoted husband
loving son
devoted daddy
but he never knew
that one love so true
he never spoke to him
except to say i'm dying
can you forgive my sins?"
when i die and they put me in the ground
a lot of nice people will come
and they'll stand around
and they'll say
"he was a good guy
he had a nice car
i used to see him at the bank
but he never knew
that one love so true
he never spoke to him
except to say i'm dying
There's something about a waitress
that turns me on she brings a booster seat to my son,
keeps a pencil behind her bun, and she says,
"How do you like your eggs?"
She keeps a pencil behind her bun,
and sometimes she calls me 'Hon',
and she says "How do you like your eggs?"
Say polyester (polyester!),
brown and gold (brown and gold!),
now say Courtney Love (Courtney Love!)
just because (just because!)
she's Courtney Love.
When I'm gone I'm on the phone wishing I was back home
Want to be by your side, Want to get off this ride
When I'm home I can enjoy simple things, family life
Mind is off somewhere else like I'm all by myself
Think about what I need to work on to succeed
Little kids time flies, come on man prioritize
Ooooooh
It's a strange way to live
Ooooooh
It's a strange way to live
What makes us satisfied? If I told you then I lied
More like Jesus less like me its the only way that I see
It don't hurt me when you say "YOU GUYS SUCK GET OFF THE STAGE!"
Keep on going maybe not, Keep on going maybe not
Alcohol whip it up, temporary bandaid
Later peel the bandage off
Another layer of yourself
Ooooooh
It's a strange way to live
Ooooooh
It's a strange way to live
And I don't mind the world
And I don't mind the time
I don't mind the fool
I just mind being away
Friend told me keeping payer, got a glimpse and he shared
"Treasures of this life just do not compare."
Driving 'round in Seattle
Every kid looked like he'd been in a battle
So much sadness, sadness all the time
See that kid at the barn its my fault I caused harm
Hope we can bury the hatchet not in each others' hand
Ooooooh
It's a strange way to live
Ooooooh
It's a strange way to live
And I don't mind the world
And I don't mind the time
I don't mind the fool
Made his way in life called pistol,
once they saw what he could do,
this little kid dribblin' all over town,
even in the movie theater, too.
Mom peaking out from the kitchen,
dad teaching him new tricks,
big brother was a natural too,
but this little kid his talent was just sick.
Will this be the first shot or could it be the last,
with millions sunk between them and bitter still,
he just had to ask, why am I so unhappy?
He came so close in high school,
and he just missed at LSU,
never a champion with the big boys
and fans can be frickle too.
He studied aliens and karate,
Eastern meditation brought no peace,
until that night on Lake Pontchartrain
when the pistol dropped to his knees
and he said
[chorus]
And when he died it was on the court,
right behind that old church,
his heart had changed but it still gave out
and JESUS came and picked him up with no more
I went to San Diego to see Penny Griego
I was trying to get my life back together
I bought some baking soda for my fridge in Minnesota
I was trying to get my life back together
spent a lot of time looking for love.
I was like Mickey Gilly spent a lot of time
looking for love True love is straight up above.
I saw Yvonne DeCarlo at a bus stop in Fargo,
North Dakota saw Abe Vigoda
at the ear piercing pagota
in the Westminster Mall.
Spent a lot of time looking for love,
I was like Debra Winger,
spent a lot of time looking for love.
True love was straight up above.
Saw Gomer Pyle when I worked in Fashion Isle
as an insecurity guard
but I saw none of these people in a church
with a steeple but that's where I found the biggest star
spent a lot of time looking for love.
Big salty tears
Are what I tasted
As I drove
Past your house tonight
And now they're resting
On my burger
As I start to fry
Big salty tears
Here in line
Even those young fresh fellows
They don't sound too good tonight
And all those break lights
That are in front of me
They leave a watery red design
I'm at the age when I realize
The liquor store won't bring you back
I must be getting old
I'm at the drive thru
And I'm making my face
More fat fat fat fat fat
A big salty tears
I'm at the age where I realize
Nothing actually
Just do what I'm supposed to do

well a person can work up
a mean mean thirst
after a hard day
of nothing much at all
summer's past
it's too late
to cut the grass
there ain't much to rake anyway
in the fall
and sometimes i
just ain't in the mood
to take my place
in the back for (?)
you're like a picture on the fridge
that's never stocked with food
i used to live at home
now i stay at their house
and everybody wants

loud and clear
here comes a regular

a mean mean thirst
and then they die
in san francisco
Clark was at home brewing his own beer
and we were all amazed that he could steer
with his hand in a sling
and his heart on his sleeve
then he backed the trailer up
and somebody yelled "bottoms up"
and that just opens another can of worms
yeah it's true we drive real crummy cars
but the ziggens, they don't live too far
and after all,
you said you might not be right through with me
Do you wanna call it quits?
Are you tired and sick?
Oh baby do you wanna.....call it quits?
We feared the talk of a backlash
so we took the wallets
and we emptied the cash
and where's a cop?
when you need one
Breakfast, lunch, and dinner's a loss
the snots with hairs
let's split the cost
and you can say
you got some musturd right here
Do you wanna call it quits?
Are you tired and sick?
Oh baby do you wanna.....call it quits?
Christmas came
and it went so fast
I'm glad we made the time last
we needed those times
to be fishing off the pier
and when we got home we was amazed
at the counter top
and with all of us amazed
it dried itself
in the shape of a christmas tree
Do you wanna call it quits?
Are you tired and sick?
Big salty tears
Are what I tasted
As I drove
Past your house tonight
And now they're resting
On my burger
As I start to fry
