ORDINARY WORLD
Came in from a rainy
Thursday on the avenue, Thought I heard you talking softly. I turned on the
lights, the TV and the radio Still I can't escape the ghost of you. What is
happening to it all? Crazy some say Where is the life that I recognize? Gone
away. But I won't cry for yesterday. There's an ordinary world somehow I have
to find. And as I try to make my way to the ordinary world I will learn to
survive. Passion or coincidence once prompted me to say Pride will tear us
both apart. Well now pride's gone out the window, cross the rooftops, runaway.
Left me in the vacuum of my heart. What is happening to me? Crazy some say.
Where is my friend when I need you most? gone away. But I won't cry for
yesterday. There's an ordinary world somehow I have to find. And as I try to
make my way to the ordinary world I will learn to survive. Just blowing away
And I don't cry for yesterday. There's an ordinary world somehow I have to
find. And as I try to make my way to the ordinary world I will learn to
survive. Any world is my world. Every world is my world.
LOVE VOODOO
When I first met you on the
roof You caught me with your web of youth But now I know the wicked truth
It’s much too late, so what’s the use in fighting You peel me like an onion
skin And wonder at the state I’m in One day you’ll turn up to begin And find
there’s nothing left but innuendo Beside you others fade away Like armatures
in love’s charade Much more than just a game you play These subtle moves are
just a way of living Night after night I try to prove That I can resist you
Tied up inside your love voodoo Designed to manipulate Queen of sensuality You
shelter me from liberty It’s nothing short of piracy That’s not to say it
doesn’t please me sometime Now this may come as no surprise But I’m content to
compromise Until the day you realize That I have been manipulating you
Manipulating Night after night I try to prove That I can resist you Tied up
inside your love voodoo Designed to manipulate Night, after night (after night
after night after night) I can resist you Tied up inside your love voodoo,
designed to manipulate Night after night I try to prove That I can resist you
Tied up inside your love voodoo Designed to manipulate Night after night I try
to prove That I can resist you Tied up inside your love voodoo Designed to
manipulate

COME UNDONE
Mine, immaculate dream made
breath and skin I've been waiting for you Signed with a home tattoo, Happy
Birthday to you Was created for you Can't ever keep from falling apart at the
seams Can I believe you're taking my heart to pieces? Oh it'll take a little
time, Might take a little crime to come undone now We'll try to stay blind to
the hope and fear outside. Hey child stay wilder than the wind And blow me in
to cry... Who do you need, Who do you love When you come undone? words,
playing me deja vu, Like a radio tune I swear I've heard before. Chill, is it
something real Or the magic I'm feeding off your fingers Can't ever keep from
falling apart at the seams Can I believe you're taking my heart to pieces?
Lost in a snow filled sky we'll make it alright To come undone now... Well try
to stay blind to the hope and fear outside Hey child stay wilder than the wind
And blow me in to cry... Who do you need, Who do you love When you come
undone?
BREATH AFTER BREATH
Everyday I wake up in this
room And I don’t know Where I come from where I’m going to Then I hear the
voice From where I stand the truth is in black and white Alone we live and die
we love and fight Breath after breath we carry this mortal coil Safe for
tomorrow Do I dare or do I dare Follow though the message my whole body hears
Beating on my heart like a feather Beating of a moment till I disappear From
where I stand the truth is in black and white Alone we live and die we love
and fight Breath after breath we carry this mortal coil Circles in sand are
washed out into the sea Just as we slip on through to eternity Breath after
breath we carry this mortal coil Safe for tomorrow The flame of love is
burning away The song is of the planets The dance is to the rhythm of rain
Where everyone is coming from is coming to And birth is just a breath after
breath
