LOVE YOU AGAIN........... By Jerry Kessler 2002
THEY THOUGHT THAT WE WERE THE ONE
THEY NEVER SAW THAT WE WERE COMING UNDONE
A HUNDRED TIMES I MADE THOSE PROMISES
A THOUSAND TIMES I SWEAR I ANSWERED YES
A MILLION TIMES I HAD YOU ON MY MIND
I THOUGHT THAT WE COULD KEEP UP THE FIGHT
I NEVER LEARNED TO SWALLOW MY PRIDE
ANOTHER NIGHT, ANOTHER DREAM OF YOU
ANOTHER WEEK, I FIGHT AWAY THE BLUES
ANOTHER YEAR I HAD YOU ON MY MINDI WANT TO SEE...WHEN WILL YOU SHOW ME?
I WANT TO HEAR IT...WHEN WILL YOU TELL ME?
I WANT TO LEARN...WHEN WILL YOU TEACH ME?
I WANT TO LOVE.
WHEN I'M ALONE I FEEL YOUR MEMORY
AND IN THE NIGHT SOMETIMES IT COMFORTS ME
SOMETIMES IT WON'T SOMETIMES IT STRANGLES ME
I CANNOT QUENCH THE FIRE INSIDE OF ME
SO LET ME LOVE YOU AGAIN
YOU THOUGHT YOU'D ANSWERED THE CALL
YOU DIDN'T SEE THAT WE HAD STARTED TO FALL
A HUNDRED TIMES YOU MADE THOSE PROMISES
A THOUSAND TIMES YOU SWEAR YOU ANSWERED YES
A MILLION TIMES I HAD YOU ON MY MIND
I WANT TO SEE...WHEN WILL YOU SHOW ME?
I WANT TO HEAR IT...WHEN WILL YOU TELL ME?
I WANT TO LEARN...WHEN WILL YOU TEACH ME?
I WANT TO LOVE
WHAT LOVE IS......By Jerry Kessler...2000
SUCH A MYSTERY YOU SEE
CARVED INITIALS ON AN ANCIENT TREE
WORKS OF FICTION, LOVE'S ADDICTION'S...
TAKING TOLLS ON NEARLY EVERYONE I SEE
THEY WANDER AIMLESSLY BETWEEN THE WORLDS
THEY KNOW THE TRUTH BUT CAN'T RELATE
THEY TRY TO MEND THEIR WOUNDS SO CAREFULLY
DO THEY KNOW WHAT LOVE IS
CAN THEY FEEL WHAT LOVE IS
IF I RECOUNT THE FANTASY
THE STING OF CUPID'S ARSENAL REALITY
THE FEEL, THE FLUSH, BUT WILL THE BLUSH
REVEAL MY HEART FOR ALL TO SEE
I'VE WANDERED AIMLESSLY BEHIND THE WORDS
I'VE NEARLY WORN THOSE PAGES OUT
I'VE TRIED TO MEND MY WOUNDS AND HONESTLY
I CAN FEEL WHAT LOVE IS
I KNOW WHAT LOVE IS
I'M NOT THE SMARTEST GUY , I'VE PLAYED THE FOOL
I WILL LOOK YOU IN THE EYE, AND I'LL TELL THE TRUTH
IF YOU LOOK INTO MY HEART, YOU WILL SEE
THAT I KNOW WHAT LOVE IS
I'VE SEEN WHAT LOVE IS
I CAN FEEL WHAT LOVE IS
IT'S STILL A MYSTERY TO ME
THIS IS SURELY MADE OF DREAMS
A SENSE OF MAGIC VOID OF LOGIC
IT'S LEFT IT'S MARK ON NEARLY EVERYONE I SEE.
THEY WANDER AIMLESSLY ...OUT ON THE NIGHT
THEY HIDE THEIR FEAR BUT SHOW THEIR DOUBT
THE TRUTH IS PLAIN TO SEE BUT THEY SHUT IT OUT
CAN'T THEY FEEL WHAT LOVE IS
DON'T THEY KNOW WHAT LOVE IS
RUN IT THROUGH YOUR MIND
By Jerry kessler
YOU COULD MEMORIZE IT...MAYBE ANALYZE IT
TREAT IT LIKE A CRIME..OCCUPY YOUR TIME
YOU CAN CALIBRATE IT...TRY TO CALCULATE IT
RUN IT THROUGH YOUR MIND..RUN IT THROUGH YOUR MIND
IT JUST DOESN’T ADD UP..JUST DOESN’T SEEM RIGHT
JUST NEVER ENOUGH...NO ANSWERS IN SIGHT
OUT ON THE HORIZON..I CAN SEE THE LIGHTNING
CAN YOU FEEL THE RAIN..WILL IT STOP THE PAIN
CAN YOU PACIFY IT..WILL YOU RECTIFY IT
TAKE YOUR PRECIOUS TIME..RUN IT THROUGH YOUR MIND
IT JUST DOESN’T ADD UP..JUST DOESN’T SEEM
RIGHT
JUST NEVER ENOUGH...NO ANSWERS IN SIGHT
JUST TOO MANY PIECES IN THE PUZZLE
TOO MANY RANDOM ACTS
TOO MANY FIGURES IN THE SHADOWS
TOO MANY SUSPECT FACTS
JUST TOO MANY EMPTY ROOMS
TOO MANY OPEN DOORWAYS
TOO MANY RUMOURS ON THE WIND
TOO MANY WHISPERS IN THE AIR
ARE YOU AT A LOSS OR...HAVE YOU GOT AN ANSWER
WAS IT JUST A CRIME...DID YOU WASTE YOUR TIME
SHOULD WE CELEBRATE OR..SIMPLY JUST FORGET IT.
RUN IT THROUGH YOUR MIND..RUN IT THROUGH YOUR MIND
IT JUST DOESN’T ADD UP..JUST DOESN’T SEEM RIGHT
JUST NEVER ENOUGH...NO ANSWERS IN SIGHT
SO MANY DETOURS ON THE JOURNEY
SO MANYSUSPECT ACTS
SO MANY STRANGE TURNS
SO MANY ODD TWISTS
SO MANY RANDOM FACTS
SOP MANY BROKEN LIFELINES
SO MANY UNSUNG WORDS
SO MANY GOOD PLANS GONE ASUNDER
SO MANY THINGS SEEM SO ABSURD
SHE CAN READ MY MIND
By Jerry kessler
I DON’T KEEP NO SECRETS
I CANNOT TELL A LIE
I HAVEN’T GOT A PRIVATE THOUGHT
AND SHE’S THE REASON WHY
ALL MY INNER FEELINGS
THAT’S AN OPEN BOOK
TURN THE PAGE TO CHAPTER THREE
GO ON AND TAKE A GOOD LOOK
‘CAUSE SHE CAN READ MY MIND
IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME
IT’S USELESS NOW TO TRY AND HIDE
‘CAUSE SHE CAN READ MY MIND
SHE ENDS A SENTENCE FOR ME
ALWAYS A STEP AHEAD
AND WHEN I TRY TO BLAY MY BLUFF
SHE ALWAYS TAKES THE BET
ALL MY INNER FEELINGS
ARE SO HARD TO DEFINE
AND WHEN I TRY TO IMPRESS HER
SHE BEATS ME TO THE PUNCH LINE
‘CAUSE SHE CAN READ MY MIND
IT HAPPENS ALL THE TIME
IT’S USELESS NOW TO TRY AND HIDE
‘CAUSE SHE CAN READ MY MIND
I LAY AWAKE PAST MIDNIGHT
THINKING OF WAYS TO LET MY LOVE SHOW
AND IN THE MORNING WHEN I TELL HER
SHE SAYS “ I ALREADY KNOW”
AS I PAINT.....by Jerry Kessler 1998
1..AS I MIX THE COLORS AND I SELECT THE ONES
THE GOLDS AND THE ORANGES TO PAINT THE SETTING SUN
THIS IS MY MONA LISA
THIS IS MY STARRY STARRY NIGHT
THEY MAY NOT UNDERSTAND IT BUT
I’VE GOT TO GET IT RIGHT
2..I HAVE TO WORK FROM MEMORY
BUT YOU’RE ETCHED UPON MY MIND
THE COLORS OF THE EARTH REFLECTED IN YOUR EYES
(chorus)
THIS IS MY MONA LISA
THIS IS MY STARRY STARRY NIGHT
THEY MAY NOT UNDERSTAND IT BUT (I KNOW YOU’LL UNDERSTAND IT)
I’VE GOT TO GET IT RIGHT (SO HELP ME GET IT RIGHT)
SO LITTLE TIME, SO MUCH LEFT TO DO
SO MUCH LEFT TO CAPTURE, THE ESSENCE OF YOU
LIKE A LINE ON THE CANVAS
THERE’S A BEGINNING AND AN END
I GRASP MY BRUSH, I FEEL THE RUSH
AS I PAINT MY MASTERPIECE I BEGIN MY SWEET RELEASE
THE ARTST’S CURSE IS DRAPED UPON MY SOUL
I MUST SUFFER FOR MY ART
TO MAKE MYSELF WHOLE
3...I STARE AT THE EMPTY CANVAS
AND YOU STARE BACK AT ME
I FILL MY BRUSH WITH COLORS
LIKE YOU HAVE FILLED ME
(chorus)
....I WILL REMEMBER,BUT I WONT LET GO
DEAD OF WINTER...By Jerry Kessler
SOME PEOPLE GO CRAZY IN THE DEAD OF WINTER
THEY SAY IT’S FROM THE LACK OF LIGHT
I’VE LIVED UP NORTH IN SOUTH DAKOTA
AND I KNOW THAT FIGHT
THEY MADE ME SIGN ON THE DOTTED LINE
THEY EVEN MADE ME GIVE UP TRYING
I DON’T KNOW WHY I DIDN’T PUT UP MORE OF A FIGHT
JUST GIVE ME A ROPE,I’M NOT GIVING UP HOPE
I JUST NEED A ROPE TO HOLD ON TO FOR A LITTLE WHILE MORE
AND I’LL TAKE THAT ROPE AND I’LL PASS IT ON
TO THE NEXT POOR SOUL OUT ON THE ROAD
JUST WONDERING WHICH WAY TO TURN
SOME FOLKS CALLED ME LAZY
I WAS JUST USING MY MIND
OTHERS SAID I WAS CRAZY
BUT I WASN’T EVEN TRYING
JUST GIVE ME A HAND, YOU UNDERSTAND
THAT A MAN NEEDS A HAND TO HOLD ON TO FOR A LITTLE WHILE MORE
BUT I’LL TAKE THAT HAND AND I’LL HOLD IT OUT
TO THE NEXT POOR SOUL OUT ON THE ROAD
JUST WONDERING WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT
WELL I FELT A LITTLE LAZY IN THE CAROLINA SUN
AND I GOT A LITTLE LONELY ON THE SOUTH DAKOTA PLAIN
WENT LOOKING FOR MY GOD IN THE COLORADO PINES
BUT I THINK I FOUND THE DEVIL IN AN ARIZONA MINE
JUST GIVE ME A HAND, YOU UNDERSTAND
THAT A MAN NEEDS A HAND TO HOLD ON TO FOR A LITTLE WHILE MORE
BUT I’LL TAKE THAT HAND AND I’LL HOLD IT OUT
TO THE NEXT POOR SOUL OUT ON THE ROAD
JUST WONDERING WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT
DEEP IN MY SOUL...... By Jerry Kessler 1996
WHEN I BEGIN TO ADD IT ALL UP
IT NEVER QUITE FITS
SO WHAT! WHAT DOES IT MATTER ?
ANY SCENE THAT LASTS THAT MANY YEARS
A MILLION MOMENTS IS A TRACT OF TIME
(CHORUS )
SO, I WANT YOU TO KNOW I HOLD YOU DEEP IN MY SOUL
AND YOU CAN CALL ON ME , TO BE THERE, TO STAY HERE,
TO HOLD YOUR HEAD ABOVE WATER
I KNOW I`VE LIED FOR YOU
YOU KNOW I`VE CRIED FOR YOU
WHAT MORE WOULD YOU ASK?
WHAT MORE COULD I DO ?
WHEN I BEGIN TO GIVE IT ALL IN
IT NEVER QUITE FITS
SO WHAT! WHAT DOES IT MATTER ?
ALL THE LOVE THAT FILLS THE SPACE IN THE YEARS
A MILLION MOMENTS IS A TRACT OF TIME
(CHORUS )
SO, I WANT YOU TO KNOW I HOLD YOU DEEP IN MY SOUL
AND YOU CAN CALL ON ME , TO BE THERE, TO STAY HERE,
TO HOLD YOUR HEAD ABOVE WATER
I KNOW I`VE LIED TO YOU
YOU KNOW I`VE CRIED WITH YOU
WHAT MORE WOULD YOU ASK ME TO DO ?
WHAT MORE COULD I DO TO YOU ?
`CAUSE I AM LOST IN YOU, AND YOU ARE LOCKED IN ME
AND WE ARE FUSED FOR ETERNITY
AND THERE WILL BE A PLACE
DOWN DEEP IN MY SOUL
FOR YOU ALWAYS
YOU KNOW YOU KNOW
GETS A LITTLE LONELY....By Jerry Kessler 1980-1996
1. WELL I LIVE OUT IN THE COUNTRY
AND YOU KNOW IT`S MY OWN CHOICE
I LIKE TO GO UP IN THE HILLS AND HEAR NATURE`S VOICE
I LIKE TO WATCH THE SUNRISE
AND LOVE TO WATCH IT SET
AND I HAVEN`T FOUND A FINER FEELING YET
2. WELL I`VE GOT A WIFE ; A BETTER FREIND I`LL NEVER FIND
AND A LITTLE BABY GIRL; A SWEET SWEET CHILD OF MINE
WE`VE GOT A COUPLE CATS;THEY LIKE TO STRETCH OUT BY THE FIRE
THERE`S REALLY NOTHING MUCH THAT I DESIRE
(chorus)
BUT IT GETS A LITTLE LONELY ONCE IN A WHILE
IT GETS A LITTLE LONELY NOW AND THEN
GETS A LITTLE LONELY ONCE IN A WHILE
THINK I`LL JUST LOOK UP SOME OLD FREIND
3. SOMETIMES I GET THE URGE TO GO AND SEE SOME FREINDS OF MINE
WE SING AND PLAY TOGETHER;AVE SUCH A DAMN FINE TIME
BUT THEN , I`M BACK OUT ON THE ROAD
FOLLOWING THAT WHITE LINE TO MY HOME
4. SOME NIGHTS I SIT ON THIS OLD COUCH AND BEAT THIS OLD GUITAR
I STARE UP AT THAT LONELY MOON AND WISH UPON ASTAR
BUT HARMONY MEANS COMPANY AND I NEED SOME TONIGHT
TO SING ALONG IN THE MOONLIGHT ... WHERE IT ..
.
(chorus 2)
GETS A LITTLE LONELY ONCE IN A WHILE
IT GETS A LITTLE LONELY NOW AND THEN
YOU KNOW THIS OLD GUITAR CAN SING
BUT IT CAN'T REPLACE A FREIND
GETS A LITTLE LONELY (3 times )
SAINT PADDY'S.....by Jerry Kessler 1996
THE PERCEPTION THAT I HAVE OF IT ALL
IS SLIGHTLY TAINTED WITH ALCHOHOL
BUT I WAS THERE I KNOW THAT MUCH
AND A SPLENDID TIME WAS GAURANTEED FOR ALL
THE BOYS FROM THE EAST FLEW IN WITH THE WIND
CAME IN WITH THEIR RATTLES AND THEIR SKINS
WE MADE A BIG BIG SOUND IN THE CATHEDERAL
IT SOUNDED LIKE PRAYING, I SWEAR IT DID
AND WE ALL GOT HAPPY FOR SAINT PADDY
TOSSED OUR CARES TO THE WIND
PASSED THE BREAD AROUND
AND MADE A JOYOUS SOUND
DANCING RAY HE LIKES THE BEAT
BUCK'S GOT RED VELVET SHUFFLIN AND DANCING FEET
MIN'S EVEN TELLING JOKES TONIGHT
THINGS MIGHT BE ALLRIGHT
BUT ME, I'M LOSIN' MY BALANCE
FROM ALL THIS HARMONY IN MY INNER EAR
MAYBE I'M IN SOME KIND OF TRANCE
WE SHOULD DO THIS ONCE A YEAR
AND WE ALL GOT HAPPY FOR SAINT PADDY
TOSSED OUR CARES TO THE WIND
PASSED THE PIPE AROUND
AND MADE A JOYOUS SOUND
LOVE’S BLUES.......By Jerry Kessler
SO OVERWHELMED AND SO TAKEN IN
BY LOVE’S GALLERY
UNDER MY SKIN AND OUTA MY MIND
IN LOVE’S GALLERY
I’VE HEARD THE CALLS
I’VE SEEN THE WALLS
IN LOVE’S GALLERY
BEEN WORKING ALL DAY TO GET THROUGH
LOVE’S BATTLEFIELD
BEEN WORKING ALL NIGHT
TO FORGET LOVE’S BATTLEFIELD
I’VE SHED SOME TEARS
AND I’VE GOT SOME SCARS
FROM LOVE’S BATTLEFIELD
TRYING SO LONG
TRYING TO GET THROUGH LOVE’S LABYRINTH
TURN TO THE LEFT
LOOK TO THE RIGHT
IN LOVE’S LABYRINTH
I’VE SEEN LOVE’S WRATH ON A DARKENED PATH
IN LOVE’S LABYRINTH
I’VE BEEN TRYING ALL DAY TRYING TO GET UP
LOVE’S MOUNTAINTOP
BEEN TRYING ALL NIGHT, TRYING TO STAY ON
LOVE’S MOUNTAINTOP
YOU SHOULD SEE THE SIGHTS
SEE THE STARS AT NIGHT
FROM LOVE’S MOUNTAINTOP
A MINOR TRUTH By Jerry Kessler 1995
YOU SAID "IT`S TUNED"
HE SAID "IT`S TIME"
SHE SAID "IT`S TONE I`M TRYING TO FIND"
A MINOR THOUGHT JUST JUST CROSSED MY MIND
YOU ASKED FOR WORDS ; I OFFERED RHYMES
A MINOR LOSS ; A MAJOR FIND
I WONDER WHY
HE SAID "WHERE`S THE BEAT" ?
SHE SAID "WATCH HIS FEET"
THEY SAID "MAYBE WE'LL GET ON T.V."
A MAJOR THOUGHT JUST PASSED ME BY
YOU WANTED TRUTH; I COULDN'T LIE
A MINOR ACT; A MAJOR CRIME
YOU CAN'T DENY
SHE SAID "I'M TORN"
I SAID "YOU'RE TRYING"
WE SAID "LET'S TURN WAY UP THIS TIME"
"A MINOR THOUGHT JUST CROSSED MY MIND
WHEN I OFFERED WORDS YOU WANTED RHYMES
A MINOR TRUTH A MAJOR LIE
MODERN MARY...By Jerry Kessler
JUST LIKE MARY MAGDELENE,
YOU’VE BEEN LIVING WITH SINNERS TOO LONG

YOU’VE BEEN FIGHTING THOSE DEMONS WITHIN
BUT YOU DON’T HAVE TO WASH MY FEET

SECOND HAND HIGH....By Jerry Kessler
I THOUGHT THAT I WOULD OPEN UP
I NEVER THOUGHT I’D BE STRIPPED BARE
WHEN I THOUGHT I’D LET YOU SEE
I NEVER THOUGHT YOU’D TURN AWAY
BUT IS THAT SOMETHING IN THE AIR
NOW ALL MY SENSES SAY BEWARE
I HAVEN’T EVEN GOT A PRAYER TO SAY
YOU’RE NOTHING MORE THAN A SECOND HAND HIGH
YOU NEVER LAST , YOU JUST GET ME BY
AND NOW IT SEEMS LIKE SMOKE IN MY EYES
I NEVER DREAMED YOU’D LET ME GO
AND NOW I HAVE TO MAKE YOU LEAVE
I NEVER THOUGHT THAT YOU WOULD LEARN
BUT NOW I’M STARTING TO BELIEVE
THAT THERE"S SOMETHING IN THE AIR
NOW ALL MY SENSES SAY BEWARE
HAVE I EVEN GOT A PRAYER TO PRAY
YOU’RE NOTHING MORE THAN A SECOND HAND HIGH
YOU NEVER LAST , YOU JUST GET ME BY
SO HOW I YEARN AND HOW I BEG
TO END THE NEED, TO STOP THE CRAVE
BUT IS THAT SOMETHING IN THE AIR
NOW ALL MY SENSES SAY BEWARE
HAVE I EVEN GOT A PRAYER TO PRAY
YOU’RE NOTHING MORE THAN A SECOND HAND HIGH
YOU NEVER LAST , YOU JUST GET ME BY
I STILL YEARN, I STILL BEG
I STILL NEED, I STILL CRAVE
SMOKE IN MY EYES
SECOND HAND HIGH
SUSHI
By Jerry Kessler 1996
YOUR SUSHI TASTES COOKED
NOW I`VE OVERLOOKED
A SIDE OF YOU I THOUGHT WAS GONE
THESE FEELINGS ARE RAW
BUT I NEVER SAW THIS COMIN`
THIS STRONG
I NEVER HAD A WARNING
THIS HIT ME QUITE BY SURPRISE
YOU KNOW YOU SHOWED ME NOTHING
I COULD EVEN RECOGNIZE
NOW HOW HARD I TRY
I JUST CAN`T DENY
A TRACE OF THAT TASTE IN MY MOUTH
AND YOU NOR I
WILL NEVER KNOW WHY
OR HOW THESE THINGS WILL TURN OUT
I CAN`T PREDICT THE FUTURE
DON`T UNDERSTAND THE PAST
I WOULDN`T WANT TO WAGER
THAT WHAT I BELIEVE IN WILL LAST
SOMETHING REALLY RATTLED YOU
STRUCK A DISTANT CHORD
I DON`T WANT TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENED
IT SHOULD HAVE BEEN IGNORED
YOUR HOT SAUCE IS COLD
I THOUGHT YOU'D BEEN TOLD
BUT YOUR WORDS REVEAL SOME DOUBT
THOSE WORDS SOUND SO PURE
I'M REALLY NOT SURE
THEY EVER CAME OUT OF YOUR MOUTH
THEY EVER CAME OUT OF YOUR MOUTH
I NEVER HAD A WARNING
THIS CAUGHT ME QUITE BY SURPRISE
YOU KNOW YOU SHOWED ME SOMETHING
I WILL ALWAYS RECOGNIZE
UP ON THE FARM ....BY JERRY KESSLER 1996
LOOK AT THOSE CHICKENS SCRATCHING IN THE DIRT
THEY HAVEN'T GOT A CARE
JUST WHAT'S IN THE DIRT
AND LOOK AT THOSE DUCKS THERE
FLOATING ON THE POND
LIFE'S SO EASY
UP ON THE FARM
WE HANG OUT IN THE SUMMER AND WATCH THE CORN GROW
AND IN THE WINTER, WE DRESS IT UP IN SNOW
AND WHEN THE HARVEST COMES IN
WE'LL ALL CELEBRATE
WE'LL POUND THE DRUMS
AN STRIKE THESE STRINGS
AND EVERYONE WILL SING
"LIFE'S SO EASY UP ON THE FARM"
WE'LL STICK OUR HANDS IN CLAY
WE'RE GETTING STRONGER EVERY DAY
WE'RE FEELING PRETTY GOOD
WE'RE EVEN FIXING UP THE ROOST
AND NOW WE'RE CHOPPING WOOD
THAT'S REALLY CUTTING LOOSE
BEEN OUT HERE FOR SO LONG
I'M TALKING TO THE BIRDS
I DON'T KNOW, I'M NOT SURE
BUT MY WIFE THINKS THEY UNDERSTAND THE WORDS
SHE'S LOOKING BETTER THAN EVER
WITH SILVER SETTIN IN
AND I'M NO YOUNGER EITHER
MY HAIR'S GETTIN THIN
MY DAUGHTER'S GETTIN FRECKLES
AND I'M NEEDING SPECTACLES TO SEE 'EM
I WATCHED THOSE DUCKS TODAY
A SIDEWAYS GLANCE AS THEY WADDLED ON THEIR WAY
I THOUGHT I HEARD THEM SAY
"LIFES SO EASY "
THE WEB YOU WEAVE ....BY JERRY KESSLER 1996
YOU DO ENTICE
IT ISN'T NICE (OR IS IT ?)
TO DANGLE THAT IN FRONT OF ME
I'M SO DRAWN IN
IT'S SO SWEET; AS SWEET AS SIN
AND YOU; YOU CAN'T DENY
YOU HOLD THE KEY TO OUR DESIRE;
TO OUR DESIRES
THE LURE IS STRONG
I AM NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO BREAK FREE
I NEVER KNEW THE LIKES OF YOU,
THE DANGER , THE MYSTERY
THE LURE IS SURELY STRONG
I AM NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO BREAK FREE
I'VE NEVER KNOWN THE LIKES OF YOU
THE DANGER, THE MYSTERY.
SO HERE I'LL STAY
I'LL BE YOUR WILLING PREY
I SURRENDER, DON'T HURT ME
YOU CAN HYPNOTIZE THE LIKES OF ME
I CAN'T ESCAPE THIS WEB YOU WEAVE
SPIN IT!

UPS AND DOWN....By Jerry Kessler and Jeff Worral
THEY SAID
GET UP DON’T ACT UP
SHUT UP AND ACT YOUR AGE
LIGHTEN UP, DON’T SCREW UP
STRAIGHTEN UP AND CALM YOUR RAGE
I’VE BEEN UP’ED SO MUCH I’M COMIN DOWN
I’VE MESSED UP SO MUCH IT’S GETTIN ME DOWN
OPEN UP, DON’T TIGHTEN UP
DON’T GIVE UP AND BE UP STAGED
SO LAUGH IT UP AND SIT UP STRAIGHT
YOU’LL KISS UP AND FORGET YOUR RAGE
I’VE BEEN UP’ED SO MUCH I’M COMIN DOWN DOWN
I’VE MESSED UP SO MUCH IT’S GETTIN ME DOWN
BUT I WON’T PACK IT UP
I WON’T GIVE UP
IT’S TIME TO WRITE ANOTHER PAGE
I’M MOVIN UP

THE TIME IS UP AND I’M GOING TO SHOW MY RAGE
I WON’T SHOW UP
I WON’T SUCK UP
I’M TEARIN DOWN THIS CAGE
I CAN’T BACK UP
I WON’T KISS UP
I WON’T GROW UP AND ACT MY AGE
THERE ARE 2 MORE VERSES BY MINDY TO THIS SONG THAT I WILL TRY TO GET UP HERE SOON + HER OWN BRIDGE LYRICS
I JUST REWROTE SOME STUFF TO
SUIT MY MOOD AT THE TIME.
POP MY EGO
music by McAvoy,Kessler, Mills, Brown
lyrics by Brown/ Kessler 1993-1998
SWAGGER,SAUNTER,SASHAY IN TIME
I WALKED I TALKED I WONDERED WHY
I PINNED MY ARMS TO WINGS
AND FILLED MY TIME WITH DREAMS
SO COME AND POP MY EGO
COME ANDTAKE SOMETHING ELSE AWAY FROM ME
COME AND POP MY EGO
COME AND TAKE SOMETHING ELSE AWAY
HOW ABSURD OF ME TO THINK
THAT I COULD FIX THE KITCHEN SINK
AND HOW ABSURD OF YOU TO FEEL
THAT SOMEHOW YOU COULD MAKE IT REAL
(BRIDGE)
GONNA WAKE UP, GET OUTA HERE
GONNA TURN THIS MAGNET AROUND
GONNA FIND OUT JUST WHAT’S UP AND DOWN
GONNA LAND WITH MY FEET BACK ON THE GROUND
HOW ABSURD OF ME TO THINK
THAT I COULD COME BACK FROM THE BRINK
AND HOW ABSURD OF YOU TO KNOW
AND NEVER LET IT SHOW
COME AND POP
COME AND TAKE
COME AND POP
COME AND TAKE
