ALWAYS (Lyrics)
Current mood: confident
Category: Music

1st Verse:

Can you feel the rush and the rising of the tide?
Inhibitions crushed by the hurricane inside
Even when we brush like a feather in a glide
I see your body blush and I need to take the ride

My head is on your heart
It beats the rhythm of desire
Your skin tastes of dreams and my senses are on fire
I whisper and breathe away the chaos of the choir
You and I kiss the sky as we balance on the wire

There are so many many things you really need to know
And now I am inside of you wherever you may go
I’ll still be there even when you close your eyes
And never will a day go by that you don’t realize

Even in the darkest times when you can’t stop the tears
You can always count on me
Nothing interferes
As the story twists and turns and the plot is thick with fear
Just read the book and take a look
You’ll see me right here

Chorus:

Always
Did I mention?
Always
My intention
Always
To be near you
Always
And to love you
Always

2nd Verse:

I know you say it’s hard ’cuz it always takes a toll
But where else can we start but by filling up the holes?
I know we’ll never be apart
You’re the dancing in my soul
As ecstasy consumes your heart I will lick the bowl

When angels yell and paint peels off the inside of your shell
I’ll take the weight of Heaven’s Gate and send it back to Hell
Come what may I’ll find a way to keep you in my spell
I live by this
I can’t miss
As only time will tell

Chorus:

Always
Did I mention?
Always . . .

Bridge Chants:

Always gonna be around whenever you’re around
No one can ever bring us down
We hold the higher ground

I’ll always be the one to say don’t ever run away
We share a piece of Heaven
So you know I’m here to stay

You can always count on me
I’ll be there by your side
Cuz I’m not the type who ever has to run and hide

Always gonna be a perfect place for you and me
And all in time I know you’ll see
My love will set you free

Chorus:

Always
Did I mention?
Always . . .

LONG LONG WAY TO BARCELONA (Lyrics)
Current mood: pleased
Category: Music

1st Verse:

It’s so hard to describe
The kind of man who drives a woman crazy
But a photograph of you right then
Would have a lot to say
I was drowning in your eyes
And I didn’t want anyone to save me
It was meant to be
You and I would have to fly away

Chorus:

It’s a long long long long way to Barcelona
And all my friends back home
Are frozen in the ice
Yeah we’ll dance the night away in Barcelona
You and I will find our own paradise

2nd Verse:

Yeah I did the math and I could see
You were part of the equation
It couldn’t be denied
We both saw the writing on the wall
Things moved so fast
I had to ask
"Hey, what’s the occasion?"
You never said
Instead we just ran away from it all

Chorus:

It’s a long long long long way to Barcelona
And all my friends back home
Are frozen in the ice
Yeah we’ll dance the night away in Barcelona
You and I have made our own paradise

Bridge:

Free all the tears in the ocean
Breathe and fly away
Love is just a perpetual motion
So this is where I’m gonna stay

Chorus:

It’s a long long long long way to Barcelona . . .

GOTTA GOTTA (Lyrics)
Current mood: energetic
Category: Music

Intro:

Gotta gotta
Gotta get next to you
Gotta gotta . . .

1st Verse:

I hate the night
Bed so cold and narrow
They promised me a life
But who can trust the Tarot?
I see your face
Peering from the shadows
I know my place
What can I do but follow?

Chorus:

Gotta get next to you
Gotta gotta . . .

2nd Verse:

You’re my prey
I’ll stalk you like a cheetah
The only way
I know I’ll get to meet ya
What can I say?
Welcome to the jungle
Might be the day
I get my paws around you

Chorus:

Gotta get next to you
Gotta gotta . . .

3rd Verse:

You see the fire
My keeper of the flame
A twisted desire
And you’re the one to blame
I take the heat
And add it to the pain
But without you I’m incomplete
And nothing can keep me away

Bridge:

You’re so far away
So far away
So I’m coming for you

Chant:

Gotta gotta
Gotta get next to you
Gotta gotta . . .

HANDS OFF (Lyrics)
Current mood: happy
Category: Music

Hook:

Hands off
Hands off
Hands off
If you ain’t buyin’
Keep your hands off the merchandise

Rap:

I won’t even give most guys a second glance
I’m looking for a man with purchase power in his pants
Someone to take me to Rio or maybe southern France
So let’s get real mock-a-man
You don’t even stand a chance

1st Verse:

Hey I see you comin’
From a mile away
When you blow into town
It’s a bad day
I’m standin’ here lookin’ right through ya
That boy’s looking for some action
Looking for someone to play
Now I like to party
I party with the best
So hear what I’m sayin’
Lemme get this off my chest
Just tell it like it is
Boy this ain’t no fire sale
’Round here lickey finger boy
Shoplifters go to jail

Full Hook:

Hands off
I’m-ah watching you
Hands off
You’re just a lookie-loo
Hands off
Ya better watch what you do
If you ain’t buyin’
Keep your hands off the merchandise

Chant:

Once upon a time a knight was ridin’ through the woods
He saw a damsel in distress and thought, ’Hmm, this is good!’
He started lifting up her dress just because he thought he could
So she hacked off his hands just because she thought she should

2nd Verse:

Better be careful
Watch what you do
I see your every move
He’s a bad boy
You think you are the type
That can own me
Yeah he thinks he’s a player
But you haven’t got a clue
Boop-boop-boop
Hey I’m not foolin’ around
Boop-boop-boop
Better go back to the dog pound
Boop-boop-boop
I don’t see a common ground
Boop-boop-boop
You’re not the only game in town

Full Hook:

Hands off
I’m-ah watching you . . .

Bridge:

Say boy!!
Hey boy!!
Say boy!!
Better try to put those eyes back in your head
Hey boy!!
Don’t try to pet the cat
That’s what I said

EFX Hook:

Hands off
Hands off

Full Hook:

Hands off
I’m-ah watching you . . .

Vamp:

Hands off
He’s a bad boy
Hands off
Yeah such a bad boy . . .

I COME APART (Lyrics)
Current mood: hopeful
Category: Music

1st Verse:

Hearts are breaking all over the world
It’s very sad but it’s what I see
So I say life is too short to let the good things get away
You think avoiding me is somehow being free
Because you don’t know me
I would always be there
To open new doors for you every day
Why can’t you just settle down?
You’re such a man about town
Yeah you’re my total fascination
Such a deep infatuation
Am I just your little toy?
You’re such a very nasty boy
What a mindless way to be
Such a blindness that you can’t see

Chorus:

I come apart
When I’m not around you
It breaks my heart
What can I do?
When I’m not around you
I come apart

2nd Verse:

You’ve always been a very difficult boy
But sometimes I get annoyed
You see I just wanna be in the arms of the someone I love
Yeah maybe it’s okay to play the game of being coy
But be careful what you destroy
What will it take?
A good slap in the face?
Maybe a pint of my blood?
You’re the name of my affliction
Such a beautiful addiction
Where’s the power of persuasion?
Such a master of evasion
Maybe time to face the facts
You’re such a disappearing act
You could be losing all your vision
Such a bad condition you can’t see

Double Chorus:

I come apart
When I’m not around you
It breaks my heart

What can I do?
When I’m not around you
I come apart

I come apart
When I’m not around you . . .

Bridge:

Listen to your heart
You’ll hear me singing
A whisper that sounds like a prayer
Look inside
For what tomorrow’s bringing
I’ll be there
I’ll be there

Vamp Choruses and Rap:

I come apart
When I’m not around you
It breaks my heart

What can I do?
When I’m not around you
I come apart

I come apart
It breaks my heart
What can I do?
I come apart
I come apart
I come apart

Why don’t you ever come around?
It’s such a game of fox and hound
Why can’t you just settle down?
You’re such a man about town
Yeah you’re my total fascination
Such a deep infatuation
You’re the name of my affliction
Such a beautiful addiction
Am I just your little toy?
You’re such a very nasty boy
You are the type I should avoid
Such a masochistic joy
You think a one-night stand
Is such a comprehensive plan
Must be your major claim to fame
You’re such a master of the game
Yeah you are splendor in the grass
But such a huge pain in the ass
You say you like it hard and fast
It’s such a dance on broken glass
You are the name of my affliction
Such a beautiful addiction
Am I just your little toy?
You’re such a very nasty boy
