No Time For Love 02:39
lyrics

She was the girl Who starred in the play You pricked up your ears When she took center stage Her magic voice You drop to your knees Beautiful redeemer That no one can please Most men believe that if God is a woman They'll never be saved Why would a girl help a man who is drowning In a watery grave Lust in our hearts Men have plenty of demons I can give you their names No time for love Only heartache and pain She was the girl With red in her hair A friend egged you on You asked her out on a dare She had a smoke While you were nursing a drink More time to watch her And a moment to think Most men believe that if God is a woman They'll never be saved Why would a girl help a man who is drowning In a watery grave Lust in our hearts Men have plenty of demons I can give you their names No time for love Only heartache and pain No time for love Only heartache and pain

Cursed 02:15

Words can't express The regret that I feel You can't expect To forget What's revealed Now you see me For the man that I am So, don't come near me Try and please understand We can never go back To the way things were We can never go back That would make things worse We can never go back 'Cuz I'm the one who's cursed Give it up Leave me now And get out Your tears are warm Red light on your face I hear the sound Of a voice in the shade You're better off With a man who can laugh I've always been A mistake from your past We can never go back To the way things were We can never go back That would make things worse We can never go back 'Cuz I'm the one who's cursed Give it up Leave me now And get out Give it up Leave me now And get out Give it up Leave me now And get out

From out of the dust The children of fire We're running with guns Our world on a wire I need more time To be with you I know that our planet is dying But we'll go to a place where there's snow I've missed a step but I'll keep on trying To grab hold of your hand as you go Walking on dirt And covered in leeches There's a howl in the night The devil will teach us How we are the lie behind the truth I know that our planet is dying But we'll go to a place where there's snow I've missed a step but I'll keep on trying To grab hold of your hand as you go I know that our planet is dying But we'll go to a place where there's snow I've missed a step but I'll keep on trying To grab hold of your hand as you go I know we'll go Where there's snow I'll grab your hand As you go I know we'll go Where there's snow I'll grab your hand As you go

Brothas come runnin' from the woods Whitey's stockin' up on baked goods Lil' nigger hangin' from a tree And the sheriff he's been lookin' for me Nat Turner rolls right in Mad as hell He's my next of kin We will make them pay In Southampton Nat Turner rolls right in Mad as hell He's my next of kin We will make them pay In Southampton Old Bridget readin' verses after dark The prophet fought the devil for his heart Christ gave his life for our sins Ain't no way I'm gonna let them win again Nat Turner rolls right in Mad as hell He's my next of kin We will make them pay In Southampton Nat Turner rolls right in With the wrath of God And our sweet vengeance We will make them pay In Southampton Our time has come today I need to hear you say We will make them pay In Southampton

My rod and my staff You have always had my back You are my white knight in shining armor I am the guy But I am also a damsel in distress A beautiful horror show I have made your life a mess I sit in this room Drinking bourbon till noon And seeing these visions in my head I'm waiting for you You know when I'm blue Give me something to do Or I'll stay in bed Hands tied to the tracks And the train will be here soon A mountain of debt These bills are way past due If you have any regrets Or your worst fears are coming true Cut the rip cord while you still can Cut the rip cord I'll understand When I'm scared late at night You turn over and hold me tight You're my grey wolf fighting for my honor I am your girl And I will always love you More than words can say A mysterious three act play I'm the one who has been saved We can go far away Where the light never fades And our cats will be there too I'm waiting for you You know what to do Don't be afraid We've learned the truth Hands tied to the tracks And the train will be here soon A mountain of debt These bills are way past due If you have any regrets Or your worst fears are coming true Cut the rip cord while you still can Cut the rip cord I'll understand Cut the rip cord while you still can Cut the rip cord I'll understand

Undress and move up on me, baby That thing you do It makes me crazy I may speak jive And act real sleazy But you still do your best to please me Cheap paperback You can't put down, girl Brown chimp on your back Flag wrapped around her And when we are done I will need a shower Makin' love in the sun We are solar powered You take the train And get off on 10th street You give yourself to me completely In soft hushed tones We talk discreetly When we are home I ride you deeply Cheap paperback You can't put down, girl Brown chimp on your back Flag wrapped around her And when we are done I will need a shower Makin' love in the sun We are solar powered Cheap paperback You can't put down, girl Brown chimp on your back Flag wrapped around her And when we are done I will need a shower Makin' love in the sun We are solar powered

The worse things get I learn new tricks I won't forget I'll never quit Have you looked inside me lately Have you seen my stare Filled with poison and hate Can you break me Would you even dare Have you looked inside me lately Have you seen my stare Filled with poison and hate Can you break me Would you even dare My father he would never do The things I've done But in time these pictures with my face Will reveal his son Have you looked inside me lately Have you seen my stare Filled with poison and hate Can you break me Would you even dare Have you looked inside me lately Have you seen my stare Filled with poison and hate Can you break me Would you even dare

Every time I close my eyes To dream about her She is there Whispering A lover's tune That's ours The moon is full So I am waiting by her locker Fiend Or wolf Not her professor Or a stalker The clock strikes twelve The beast has been reborn Hands clasp together Two ships against the storm Can this last forever You're my one and only hope We can make it better Throwing fire to the oak We have always found a way To fight our demons The scar upon my back And breasts covered in lesions I have never had a chance to say I need you I am your friend A fallen angel you can preach to The clock strikes twelve The beast has been reborn Hands clasp together Two ships against the storm Can this last forever You're my one and only hope We can make it better Throwing fire to the oak The clock strikes twelve The beast has been reborn Hands clasp together Two ships against the storm Can this last forever You're my one and only hope We can make it better Throwing fire to the oak

I am a bastard And a liar I'm a deviant Just walk away I will break your heart again I am a fever The deceiver I am a loser You still call me friend Even though I never bend Don't fight a war that you can't win You know me better than anyone else in this world I hide in the dark And there you are with a flashlight You know me better than anyone else in this world I hide in the dark And there you are with a flashlight Mom called me the devil That's on the level But not an excuse for being A dangerous man Or the freak who should be damned I'm not a killer Or a dealer But I have wrecked lives And lost my way Too many times to say Don't fight a war that you can't win You know me better than anyone else in this world I hide in the dark And there you are with a flashlight You know me better than anyone else in this world I hide in the dark And there you are with a flashlight

I don't want to grow old with you And that is the God's honest truth What's yours is yours And mine is mine 'Cuz you can be a real pain sometimes I could jump in the river Like Spalding Gray Set fire to my clothes On a Broadway stage I could drown in a pool Or break my neck in a fall Slit my wrists in a church Or a bathroom stall I don't care about us Or the vows that we made I've been living a lie And I'm here to say Goodnight and good luck Thanks for the blues I don't want to have kids with you Even if our families won't approve Don't act surprised By the words I've said 'Cuz I've always been a black dickhead I could jump in the river Like Spalding Gray Set fire to my clothes On a Broadway stage I could drown in a pool Or break my neck in a fall Slit my wrists in a church Or a bathroom stall I don't care about us Or the vows that we made I've been living a lie And I'm here to say Goodnight and good luck Thanks for the blues Goodnight and good luck Thanks for the blues Goodnight and good luck Thanks for the blues
