Fly On The Wall (Of Your Soul).

O', you treat people nice,
But you really don't want to,
You smile in their faces,
But your heart's really untrue,
You wish them well,
But you just want them all to go to hell,

O', I'm a fly on the wall,
I really got to know you,
In the shadow of it all,
Where your heart truly shows you,
O', most of the time,
You can fool them all,
But you can't fool me,
'Cos I'm a fly on the wall,

All of your words,
the come perfectly out,
You lips hold a kiss,
On the edge of your mouth,
Your voice sings in their heads,
But you just want them all to be dead,

O', I'm a fly on the wall,
I really got to know you,
In the shadow of it all,
Where your heart truly shows you,
O', most of the time,
You can fool them all,
But you can't fool me,
'Cos I'm a fly on the wall,

O', a fly on the wall,
Knows what nobody knows,
Where you come from,
Where you wanna go,

O', I'm a fly on the wall,
I really got to know you,
In the shadow of it all,
Where your heart truly shows you,
O', most of the time; (most of the time),
You can fool them all; (all but me, I know),
O', no... you can't fool me; (none of the time),
'Cos I'm a fly on the wall; (O', I'm a fly, fly, fly),
Yeah, I'm a fly on the wall; (of your soul).

There's Always A Better Tomorrow (I Know Where Mine Is).

There’s Always A Better Tomorrow (I Know Where Mine Is).

I’ll never have another day,
Just like the one I had,
A day in such a perfect way,
That everyone was glad,
I consulted with my father,
On the basis of my money,
And he said “son, don’t bother,
I’ll give you all you wantee”,
Then I confessed to Linda,
Who’s my sister, by the way,
That my baseball broke her winda,
But she said “it’s okay”,
Then to answer my every prayer,
My pup saw the vet today,
And his deadly disease that was so rare,
Had dried up and withered away,
Now searching the tho’ts within my mind,
I’m glad I find no sorrow,
And see, without a doubt in my mind,
That this is my better tomorrow.

I Don't Want Your Body (Give It To Me).

I Don't Want Your Body (Give It To Me).

O', there'll be a lot of talkin',
When this town knows how I feel,
He's bad, he's naughty,
He just wants your body,
They'll say his truth's not real,
But you must know, you must know, you know,
You're a beautiful, beautiful girl,
It's the sound of your laughter,
Not you body I'm after,
I wanna know about your world,

Girl, I don't want your body,
O', but anybody can see,
You've got a lot to offer,
And I've got a lot of need,
O', what I want from you now,
Only love and honesty,
O', I don't want your body,
But I'm not about to stop you,
If you wanna give it to me,

O', the town will be a buzzin',
About the things we haven't done,
It's a matter of time,
'Til we blow their minds,
With our innocence and fun,
And we must laugh our loudest laugh,
When you fly out to visit me,
It's your strength I will miss,
Not the length of your kiss,
Your lips are not what I need,

Girl, I don't want your body,
O', but anybody can see,
You've got a lot to offer,
And I've got a lot of need,
O', what I want from you now,
Only love and honesty,
O', I don't want your body,
But I'm not about to stop you,
If you wanna give it to me,

O', you're a beautiful, beautiful girl,
It's o', so easy to see,
You're a beautiful, beautiful girl,
Beauty with a capital B,
O', you're a beautiful, beautiful girl,
But I see so much more,
You're a beautiful, beautiful girl,
But like I said before,

Girl, I don't want your body,
O', but anybody can see,
You've got a lot to offer,
And I've got a lot of need,
O', what I want from you now,
Only love and honesty,
O', I don't want your body,
But I'm not about to stop you,
If you wanna give it to me,
O', girl, I don't want your body,
O', now give it to me.

One Soldier To Save.

One Soldier To Save.

He was found,
In the midst of success,
With everything he tried,
He couldn't fail,
He was simply the best,
Still at night; he cried,
For what he couldn't believe,
Caused his heart to grieve,
Brothers dying all around him,
He had no saving deed,

He wasn't happy inside,
To know he'd only tried,
Even tho' his heart; his family,
Would always cry,

Slow it down,
You don't need to be so brave,
You've only got,
One soldier to save,
You did enough,
With everything you gave,
You've only got,
One soldier to save,

He stood up,
In the face of danger,
He was not afraid to fall,
He laughed loudly,
Just to hear the anger,
He was bigger than it all,
But what he couldn't forget,
Was his only regret,
Sisters dying all around him,
He hadn't saved one yet,

He wasn't happy inside,
To know he'd only tried,
Even tho' his heart; his family,
Would always cry,

Slow it down,
You don't need to be so brave,
You've only got,
One soldier to save,
You did enough,
With everything you gave,
You've only got,
One soldier to save,

Altho' he was strong,
He had no saving song,
He never saved one soul; no saving deed,
His whole life long,

Slow it down,
You don't need to be so brave,
You've only got,
One soldier to save,
You did enough,
With everything you gave,
You've only got,
One soldier to save,

Slow it down,
You don't need to be so brave,
You've only got,
One soldier to save.

Mickey.

Mickey.

At the San Diego airport my plane is leavin’ the ground,
It’s ten a.m. and I’m Michigan bound,
I woke up this morning to find my Mickey was gone,
What did I do to be treated so wrong,
No marriage, for us, was first in our minds,
But our love grew so strong we found ourselves in a bind,
Now the pressure has found her and it sent her away,
I’ve gotta go find her to see what I can say,

I wanna go to Michigan,
I wanna see my Mickey again,
And when I finally see her,
I wanna tell her I love her,

Then in the cold northern air,
The pilot says we’re almost there,
I can feel the plane as it slowly descends,
I can feel my broken heart beginning to mend,
Then on the wing there is a crack and a flash,
And someone screams out, we’re going to crash,
In my hospital room the nurse says, you’ll be okay,
And I said wait a minute I’ve got something to say,

I wanna go to Michigan,
I wanna see Mickey again,
And when I finally see her,
I wanna tell her I love her,

The nurse in a blur comes over to me,
And I said, I’ll never again see my pretty Mickey,
I’ve gotta get myself to Michigan,
If nothing else I wanna see her again,
The nurse slowly turns and walks away,
As she turns back again I see the fears on her face,
And suddenly I realize who I’m talking to,
As Mickey runs over and says, I love you, too,

I finally made it to Michigan,
And I just saw my Mickey again,
And she says she loves me, too,
Goodbye, Mickey, I love you.

Breaking Fast.

Breaking Fast.

I made it past my midnight hour,
To the lighted end of life,
A newness in my body wakes,
To end a sleep in time,
I'm breaking thru the darkness,
In my zombie skin,
Unstoppable outside,
So detached within,
I'm not feeling dangerous,
No driving force,
I just am; stronger yet,
An empty, wretched horse,
My waking hours now multiplied,
The sun and moon are one,
I've lost the will to rest my soul,
A breaking fast begun.

Like Everybody (Nobody) Else.

Like Everybody (Nobody) Else.

She was found in desire,
She was lost in the world,
Such an inhuman fire,
In such a mortal girl,
She had an uncommon heart,
With a common seed,
Wished on a single star,
Her universal need,

She wanted love to be (so true),
Like everybody else,
But she was so naive (so new),
Like nobody else,
She was lost in the dream (so blue),
Like everybody else,
But so careful to please (so few),
Like nobody else,

She was wrecked like a ship,
In the storm of her sea,
An unintentional slip,
On the shores of her beach,
She had an unusual calm,
In the usual stir,
She was saved all along,
From an unhallowed Earth,

She wanted love to be (so true),
Like everybody else,
But she was so naive (so new),
Like nobody else,
She was lost in the dream (so blue),
Like everybody else,
But so careful to please (so few),
Like nobody else,

O', she never bled (so long),
In her cut-up life,
She never said (so wrong),
As her cuts fell in rife,

She wanted love to be (so true),
Like everybody else,
But she was so naive (so new),
Like nobody else,
She was lost in the dream (so blue),
Like everybody else,
But so careful to please (so few),
Like nobody else,

She was founded in ire,
She was rapt in a curse,
So absorbed in the fire,
Her sympathetic worse,
You'd think she'd give way,
Her virtueless trust,
But her hope so remained,
In her unyielding bust,

She wanted love to be (so true),
Like everybody else,
But she was so naive (so new),
Like nobody else,
She was lost in the dream (so blue),
Like everybody else,
But so careful to please (so few),
Like nobody else,

O', she was everybody,
Yet somebody,
Like nobody else.
