and I'd do anything, just to please you
I'd do anything just to know

whenever my dreams just fade away now
I just return to my heart

watch her mangle the truth while you take the bait
(don't you see?)
so tell me can't you see?
(can't you see?)

this thing you're using is worse than a photograph
it picks you up and it turns you inside out now, baby
and it just won't let you go

but memories fade

she doesn't love you anymore, maybe she did long ago
you're just a slave to the grind that she grew tired of, baby

Love Can Move You

get me to the heart of the freeway
I gotta see the lights up in new york city
I'm so close I think I can hear the sound
of the taxi-siren symphony

don't you want to feel amazing?
baby, you know I do
you'll get back ten times what you give freely
like my momma told me

love can move you take you deeper everytime
can make the darkest moments feel like heavens come alive
love can move you to a place inside your heart
where you can fear no evil, and acceptance is a natural part of life

climb into the heart of the subway
creeping like a snake into new york city
I'm so close I think I can see those lights
let the sun get closer to the ground

you'll get back ten times what you give freely
like my momma told me

love can move you take you deeper everytime

where you can fear no evil, and acceptance is a natural part of life

This Side of Me

I want to move in time with you
I want to breathe in rhyme with you
I want to feel the deepest kiss
and I want to know you feel like this

one time, one time, let my body do what it feels
just one time, one time, let this fantasy become real
I am not afraid to let you see this side of me
no, I...no, I...

I want to feel your hand in mine
and I want to feel that rush in my spine
I want to wear the scent of you
and do all the things you want me to

so baby just one time, one time, let my body do what it feels
one time, one time, let this fantasy become real
I am not afraid to let you see this side of me

I feel the danger, the separation
I want to take your invitation
the separation, it's all around
I need this side of me
this side of me (this side of me) this side of me

I want to move in time with you
I want to breathe in rhyme with you
I want to stitch my clothes in sin
and in the dark, I want to find that door and go within

for just one time, one time, let my body do what it feels
just one time, one time, let this fantasy become real
I am not afraid to let you see this side of me
no, I am not afraid to let you see this side of me
this side of me (this side of me) this side of me

I'll Bet He Was Cool

ooh, yea yea yea ooh

you know every once in awhile I shoot the breeze
I spend my time, I talk about silly things
I like to talk about Jesus Christ
'cause I wonder what would happen if he passed you by?
would you be scared?
would you believe in him?
or would you bust your asses to get him institutionalized?

well I bet he'd be cool
I bet he'd be damn good looking
I bet that he'd smell divine
and I'm not talking 'bout Calvin Klein's Obsession
just one of those people who smell good all the time
there's no reason why

what would he wear?
would he wear Tom Hilfigger?
or be Urban Outfitted?
well I don't think so
see I bet he'd like Gautier
(though you'll never find him in it)
I bet he'd like Gautier

Lord, I need your protection, spend some time in my direction
I need your protection, spend some time in my direction
I need your protection, spend some time in my direction

you know every once in awhile I shoot the breeze
I spend my time, I talk about silly things
and tonight I'd like to talk to you about Jesus Christ
'cause I wonder how we'd deal if he just passed you by?
well I bet he'd be a star
I bet my Star Wars figures he would be a movie star
a Quentin-Tarantino-next-big-thing-prima-donna then he'd appear on Oprah
but you know what?
I don't think so

could you imagine him
hanging piccadilly circus
times square, the walk of fame?
at christie's he could easily become a regular
but you know what?
I don't think so
I bet my speeder bike he'd turn his back on all of that

Lord, I need your protection, spend some time in my direction
I need your protection, spend some time in my direction
I need your protection, spend some time in my direction

some people have just got it
you know like standing next to Elvis Presley?
just multiply that feeling by one million
and you know what I'm talking about
see I bet he was cool
man, I bet that cat was so damn good looking, baby yea
ooh, yea yea

All Around Me

well you know everytime I look at that expression printed
on the page I think I hear you
whispering the magic and the compliments I need so badly
so baby come on, ohhh, so baby come on

now I've been running circles 'round the notion that you'd
find me baby, one day maybe
but all the psychic powers of suggestion I've been sending your way
so can't you hear me say

I want your arms all around me
I want your face, yea, all around me
I want your perfume, all around me
I like the way you move and do a funky groove

all around me, I want you
all around me, I need you

I want your arms all around me
I want your face, yea, all around me
I want your perfume, all around me
I like the way you move and do a funky groove

like a good chardonnay, chilled for a day,
you're smooth and crisp and on display
like Cartier, Armani, like TAG, Gucci, Versace
in the middle of the night you're a kiss so long
you're the only good thing when all is wrong
you're a magic time-reversal clock
you're the fries on the side with a cherry on top
you're slee k, velvet, gold lame, patent leather, enchante
you're a legend, you're a glamour queen
God I'm running out of words but you know what I mean

all around me, I want you
all around me, I need you
all around me, I want you
all around me
so can't you hear me say

I want your arms all around me
I want your face, yea, all around me
I want your perfume, all around me
I like the way you move and do a funky aah!

I want your arms all around me
I want your face, yea, all around me
I want your perfume, all around me
I like the way you move and do a funky groove

so slide into your jaguar, or porsche, baby, there you are
well chop-chop darling, au revoir
pick your things up, you're a star
oh yes...yes you are darling (you think so?)
that's right (you're sure darling?)
mm-hmm au revoir now (you think so?)
ciao (oh ciao darling)
cheers ciao (cheers ciao)

Mine

I wait in the darkness, frozen winds surround my face
in the cover of darkness I can make believe it's you
I feel you like the rain, I feel you like the storm cloud building in my heart
I wonder if you know the pain, to want the one thing that you haven't got

just a twist in time...and you could be mine
just a sip of wine...and you could be mine
just a kiss divine...

a hand brushes by my love
a smile fuels a steel inferno
you don't have to die to leave my world
stand still and you've departed
it seems I'm not on your mind, and I'm just wasting my time
I'm just a fool to believe
in the death of the night, can you feel me inside?
I wish that you could conceive...

just a twist in time...and you could be mine
just a sip of wine...and you could be mine
just a kiss divine...and you could be mine

won't you leave me in the darkness
take away the pride, all the dignity that's burning inside
can't you see I'm standing naked?
I'll bear all the crosses and the crucifixes you can provide...
if you could decide...

come on...
come on...
just a twist in time... (come on...)
just a sip of wine... (come on...)
just a kiss divine... (come on...)
come on...
just a twist in time...and you could be mine...
just a sip of wine...and you could be mine ...
just a kiss divine...and you could be mine...

I Don't Care

I ride this train
in the windswept afternoon
and the sunlight warms the faces
of the faithless who are waiting
I ride this train
but I need a conversation
???
???
you pick the subject
and I'll listen to you

people tell me that I feel too much
but I don't care
I don't care
people tell me that I need too much
but I don't care
no I don't care

I ride this train
in a dreamlike state of mind
do you feel the frozen memories
imagination racing
I ride this train
but I need to make connections
no I wasn't staring
I was only trying
to get some substance
to get a meaning

people tell me that I feel too much
but I don't care
no I don't care
people tell me that I need too much
but I don't care
no I don't care
people tell me that I feel too much
but I don't care
no I just don't care anymore
as I ride this train

people tell me that I feel too much
but I don't care
no I don't care
people tell me that I need too much
but I don't care
no I just don't care
people tell me that I feel too much
but I don't care
no I just don't care anymore
as I ride this train

as I ride this train
as I ride this train

people tell me that I feel too much
