WERE YOU LOOKIN’ FOR SOME MAGIC AABA X2 @129
FROM A LAMP THAT YOU COULD RUB
TO GET GRANTED THOSE 3 WISHES
JOIN SOME RICH MAN’S CLUB
WOULD IT REALLY FIX YOUR LIFE IF
YOU COULD LIVE ON EASY STREET
WHEN YOU GET ALL THAT YOU WISHED FOR
PRAY YOUR SOUL TO KEEP
B
FIND AND OPEN UP THAT BOTTLE
AND THE GENIE WILL ADVISE
QUICK TO JUMPIN INTO ASKIN
FOOL ,YOU BETTER BE WISE
YOU UNCORK THAT PRETTY BOTTLE
AND THE PERFUME STARTS TO RISE
WHILE YOUR HEART BEATS AT FULL THROTTLE
PLANNING THAT CASH PRIZE
(SOLOS)
B
FAIRY TALES THAT BESTOWE RICHES
ALWAYS SEEM SO INCOMPLETE
THE moral of the story
SEEMS SO BITTERSWEET
OH THAT GENIE IS A SLY ONE
AND HE KNOWS WHAT TURNS YOU ON
HE’S JUST LOOKING FOR HIS FREEDOM
WHEN YOU BLINK HE’S GONE
AS HE LEAVES YOU IN THE DUST WITH
ALL THE STUFF YOU SEEMED TO NEED
While you WISHED and longed and pleaded
DID YOUR SOUL RECEED?
B)
OH TO STUMBLE ON THAT LAMP
What EVERYBODY WANTS TO DO
LIVE THE LIFE ON EASY STREET

COULD THESE RICHES IN YOUR LIFE
FIX WHERE YOU AIL AND GET YOU CURED

Keyhole

JUST UNDERNEATH THE HANDLE
THE KEYHOLE IN THE DOOR
HE WONDERS HOW HE GOT HERE
WHILE KNEELING ON THE FLOOR
HIS LIP JUST SLIGHTLY QUIVERS
HE CAN NOT TAKE MUCH MORE
AND IN HIS HEAD HE’S SCREAMING
GET UP GET OFF THE FLOOR
Bridge
HOW DID IT COME TO THIS
AN ACHE TURNS INTO BLISS
NO HARM BUT FEELS SO WRONG
A FETISH THAT’S THIS STRONG
WHILE WATCHING EVERY MOVEMENT
THIS KEYHOLE POINT OF VIEW
MAKES BREATHING HARD AND SHALLOW
AS STORM CLOUDS BLOWING THRU AND KEEPS IT ALL BRAND NEW
SOLOS
SHE’S KNOWS IT WHEN HE’S OUT THERE
SHE’S GROWN TO LIKE IT MORE
IT TOOK SOME GETTING USED TO
HIS KNEELING ON THE FLOOR
IT GIVES HER ALL THE POWER
NEVER HAD THAT BEFORE
IT’S NOW A SPECIAL PLAY TIME
THIS TIME SPENT WITH THE DOOR
TWO VOYEURS WHO EXISTS
TO LIVE THIS SPECIAL TWIST
WHEN DID THIS ALL BEGIN
AND LODGE BENEATH THEIR SKIN
SHE KEEPS HERSELF FROM SMILING
TO TORTURE HIM SOME MORE
WALKS THRU ANOTHER DOORWAY
WHILE HE KNEELS ON THE FLOOR

A
THESE DREAMS OF YOU THAT HAUNT ME
MOST EV’RY NIGHT THE SAME
IF I HAD NEVER KNOWN YOU
WOULD MY LIFE BEEN MORE SANE?
A
DID I MISHEAR THE PROMISE
THAT WE WOULD KEEP IT REAL?
WAS THIS ONE OF YOUR CONQUESTS
TO PIERCE ACHILLE’S HEEL.
B
THE TWO WAYS LEFT FOR ME TO FEEL
CONFUSED AND SO FORLORN
SOME SHRED OF TRUTH WOULD FREE ME
TO LET IT GO AND MORN.
A
NO YOU WON’T GIVE ME THAT MUCH
WITH HOLDING ANY HEART
FOREVER AS THE ACTOR
WHO KEEPS PLAYING A PART

NOW THAT OUR LIVES
ARE RACK AND RUIN (HAVE COME TO RUINS)

AND GO FLY OUR WITCHES BROOMS
RAISE SOME DUST AND FUSS AND CUSS
WHILE WE’RE HOWLIN’ AT THE MOON

AND SHE’S LAUGHIN’ AT OUR GLOOM
HAS THAT SLY WINK IN HER EYE

Rush Of Heat

A RUSH OF HEAT
BLUSHES YOUR CHEEK
IT PASSES BY
THE THROAT GOES DRY
AND KNEES GO WEAK
OBESSION CALLS
YOU’RE IN FREEFALL
BEST NOT REVEAL THAT NEED
YOU TRIP YOU FALL
AND THROUGH IT ALL
DON’T LET THEM SEE YOU BLEED
(A)
DEFEND THE RIGHT
GIVE REASONS WHY
YOU’D LIVE THIS ACHE
TO JUSTIFY
WHAT YOU CAN’T SHAKE
(B)
A DEADLY DRUG
THIS CAN’T BE LOVE
NO MATTER WHAT YOU THINK
CAN’T PUT IT DOWN AND YOU WILL DROWN
AND STANDING ON THAT BRINK
B PART
THE WORLD THEN TURNS
LAST HOPE GETS BURNED
THAT FANS THE FLAME MUCH HIGHER
THEN LOVE IS SPURNED
HARD LESSON LEARNED
YOUR SOUL SITS ON THE PYRE
THE PAIN SUBSIDES
YOU WILL SURVIVED
TO TELL THE TALE
IT’S NOT A FAIL
AND MAY PREVAIL
(C)
GUARD THAT HEART
DON’T FALL APART

FARAWAY THOUGHTS STRAY TO YOU
PAINTINGS PHOTOS INSPIRED VIEWS
THESE FROZEN MOMENTS CAPTURED
PLACES THAT I ONCE KNEW
HERE IS PARIS 1810
STILL THE SAME AS IT WAS THEN
THIS TIMELESS PLACE OF BEAUTY
BRINGS ME BACK ONCE AGAIN
B
THESE ARTISTS SEEMED SEEKING SOMETHING
TO INSPIRE THEIR OWN DARK SOUL
THERE’S SOME DEEP FEELING OF SADNESS
LIFE’S JOURNEY TO SOME LONGED FOR GOAL
I’LL KEEP SEARCHING IN THIS PLACE
FOR WHAT TIME CAN NOT ERASE
THESE HALLOWED HALLS OF MEM’RIES
WHERE I’LL FIND YOUR SWEET FACE
ART WAS WHERE YOU LONGED TO BE
WHERE YOU ALWAYS FELT MOST FREE
IF YOU REVEALED THE SECRET
WISHED YOU TOLD IT TO ME
ALL THAT CONFLICT HELD INSIDE
THAT YOU SEEMED TO TAKE IN STRIDE
A PAST FULL OF THOSE MEM’RIES
ATE YOUR HEART UP ALIVE
B
YES YOU WERE SEEKING SOME ESSENCE
TO INSPIRE YOUR OWN DARK SOUL
AND SOME DEEP FEELING OF SADNESS
STILL KEPT YOU FROM THAT CHERISHED GOAL
I’LL KEEP SEARCHING IN THIS PLACE
WHERE I’LL FIND YOUR OWN SWEET FACE
IN HALLOWED HALLS OF MEM’RIES
BEAUTY MEETS STATE OF GRACE

OH YOU THOUGHT I WOULD JUST GO AWAY
DID YOU GET ALL SMUG AND SAY
THAT I’D NEVER RISE YOU’D BE MY DEMISE
WELL THIS DOG (BITCH) GETS HER DAY
YES I DOUBT YOU’LL EVEN HEAR A SOUND
LIKE A CAT STALKING IT’S PREY
THERE’S A TRAP TO BAIT AND THEN LIE IN WAIT
AND YOU WON’T GET AWAY
B)
OH THEY SAY ITS BEST
WHEN YOU SERVE IT COLD (WHEN IT’S NICE AND SLOW)
YOU WILL NEVER SEE IT COMING, NO YOU’LL NEVER KNOW
LIKE A PESKY FLY OR SPECK IN YOUR EYE
OH I WILL NOT BE DENIED
Maybe years go by for me THEY will fly
CAUSE TIME IS ON MY SIDE
SOLOS
(B) WHEN THOSE TABLES TURN
YOU WILL FEEL THE BURN
ON THAT SLIDE BACK DOWN
MY TURN COMES AROUND
WELL YOU THOUGHT I WOULDN’T TAKE REVENGE
WALK AROUND ON TIPPY TOE
I WON’T CRAWL AWAY I’ll BE BACK SOMEDAY
IT’S KARMA QUID PRO QUO

ON MY WAY TO THE TRAIN
HAD A FEELING OF DREAD
MAKING MY WAY BACK TO YOU
THEN THE SKY OPENED UP
RAIN AND THUNDER CAME DOWN
MY DARKEST FEARS CAME TRUE
TRAVEL PLANS GET DIVERTED
THINGS HAPPEN OUT OF THE BLUE
NEVER KNOW WHERE YOU’LL END UP
MAKING MY WAY BACK TO YOU
HOPPED THE TRAIN WAS THE WRONG ONE
MISSED THE PLANE FERRY BOAT TOO
NOW I’M LOST SORT OF SIDEWAYS
MAKING MY WAY BACK TO YOU
BRIDGE:
SHOULD DARK CLOUDS MOVE PAST US
THERE’D BE A RAINBOW
NOW THERE’S LIGHTENING BLOWN UMBRELLA
WHAT’S THAT NOISE IS THAT A FUNNEL CLOUD?
CROSS THE SEAS FOR THOSE BRIGHT EYES
SHINNING THE WAY THAT THEY DO
I’M WAYLAID IN SOME STATION
MAKING MY WAY BACK TO YOU
