[death tribble]

I can't control this feeling
something's happening inside me
our senses come alive
the chemistry is building
it's something that we're feeling
there's nowhere you can hide

It's gonna get louder

We're gonna get stronger

We're gonna feel better

You can't tame this energy inside

I gotta reach higher

I wanna burn like a fire

Gotta move faster

You can't tame this energy inside

perpetual emotion
it's just a ripple in the ocean
a shadow in the night
changes we're making for the better
we're going through together
there's nowhere you can hide

it's more than a feeling
we're building a dream that we've always had clear in our sights
watch it ignite as we open our eye
it's the one way we know to survive
we're powerfully changing the world
we're reclaiming our unity
they can't divide
they push us around
but we're tearing it down
and we're having the time of our life

It's gonna get louder

We're gonna get stronger

We're gonna feel better

You can't tame this energy inside

I gotta reach higher

I wanna burn like a fire

Gotta move faster

You can't tame this energy inside

faster

louder

stronger

better

faster

louder

better

you can't tame this energy inside

One, two, one, two, three, four

Shed a tear 'cause I'm missin' you, I'm still alright to smile
Girl, I think about you every day now
Was a time when I wasn't sure, but you set my mind at ease
There is no doubt you're in my heart now

Said, woman, take it slow and it'll work itself out fine
All we need is just a little patience
Said, sugar, make it slow and we'll come together fine
All we need is just a little patience
Patience, mm yeah

I sit here on the stairs 'cause I'd rather be alone
If I can't have you right now, I'll wait, dear
Sometimes I get so tense, but I can't speed up the time
But you know, love, there's one more thing to consider

Said, woman, take it slow and things will be just fine
You and I'll just use a little patience
Said, sugar, take the time 'cause the lights are shinin' bright
You and I've got what it takes to make it
We won't fake it, aw, I'll never break it, 'cause I can't take it

(Little patience, hm yeah, hm yeah)
(Need a little patience, yeah)
(Just a little patience, yeah)
(Some more patience)
I've been walkin' the streets at night (Yeah)
Just tryin' to get it right (A little patience)
It's hard to see with so many around (Yeah)
You know I don't like bein' stuck in the crowd (Could use some patience)
An' the streets don't change, but maybe the names (Yeah)
I ain't got time for the game 'cause I need you (Gotta have more patience)
Yeah-yeah, but I need you (Yeah)
Ooh, I need you (All it takes is patience)
Oh, I need you (Just a little patience)
Ooh, this time (Is all you need)

Ever since you've been leaving me, I've been wanting to cry.
Now I know how it feels for you, I've been wanting to die.
But it's much too late for good-byes, yes, it's much too late for good-byes.

 

Time has gone since I've been with you, and we've been starting to die.
Now it seems you don't care for me, and I don't understand why.
But it's much too late for good-byes, yes, it's much too late for good-byes.

 

Ever since you've been far away, I've been wanting to fly.
Now I know what you meant to me, I'm the one who should cry.
And it's much too late for good-byes, yes, it's much too late for good-byes.

 

Ever since you've been leaving me, I've been wanting to cry.
Now I know how it feels for you, I've been wanting to die.
And it's much too late for good-byes, yes, it's much too late for good-byes.

Angels, angels
They didn't want to be but suddenly they're free
Angels, angels
I hear them in the trees and I wish that one was me

I watch clouds roll overhead
No, it's me that moves instead
Round and round, and round

Clouds are faces I can see
I can see they're seein' me
I can tell 'cause we know each other well
We know each other well

Angels, angels
I hear them in the trees, I wish that one was me

Angels how high have you been?
Since you left this world I'm in
And what did you see 'bout me?

Will my time go very far?
Does love reach up where you are?
Then take it along, I pay you for your songs
Can I go? Can I go along?

Angels, angels
They didn't want to be but suddenly they're free
Angels, angels
I hear them in the trees and wish that one was me

I wish that one
I wish that one was me

Left a good job in the city,
Workin' for the man ev'ry night and day,
And I never lost one minute of sleepin',
Worryin' 'bout the way things might have been.

Big wheel keep on turnin',
Proud Mary keep on burnin',
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river.

Cleaned a lot of plates in Memphis,
Pumped a lot of 'pane down in New Orleans,
But I never saw the good side of the city,
'Til I hitched a ride on a river boat queen.

Big wheel keep on turnin',
Proud Mary keep on burnin',
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river.

Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river.

If you come down to the river,
Bet you gonna find some people who live.
You don't have to worry 'cause you have no money,
People on the river are happy to give.

Big wheel keep on turnin',
Proud Mary keep on burnin',
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river.

Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river.
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river.
Rollin', rollin', rollin' on the river.

Fifteen men on a dead man's chest

Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum !

Drink and the devil had done be the rest

Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum !

 

The mate was fixed by the bosun's pike,

The bosun brained with a marlinspike

And cookey's throat was marked belike

It had been gripped by fingers ten;

And there they lay, all good dead men

Like break o'day in a boozing ken

Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum !

 

Fifteen men of the whole ship's list

Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum !

Dead and be damned and the rest gone whist

Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum !

 

The skipper lay with his nob in gore

Where the scullion's axe in his cheek had shore

And the scullion he was stabbed times four.

And there they lay, and the soggy skies

Dripped all day long in up-staring eyes

At murk sunset and at foul sunrise

Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum !

 

Fifteen men of 'em stiff and stark

Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum !

Ten of the crew had the murder mark

Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum !

 

There was cutlass swipe or an ounce of lead,

Or a yawing hole in a battered head

And the scuppers' glut with a rotting red

And there they lay aye, damn my eyes !

All lookouts clapped on paradise

All souls bound just contrarywise

Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum !

 

Fifteen men of 'em good and true

Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum !

Ev'ry man jack could ha' sailed with Old Pew

Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum !

 

There was chest on chest of Spanish gold,

With a ton of plate in the middle hold,

And the cabins riot of stuff untold.

And they lay there that took the plum,

With sightless glare and their lips struck dumb,

While we shared all by the rule of thumb

Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum !

 

More was seen through a sternlight screen

Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum !

Chartings undoubt where a woman had been !

Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum !

'Twas a flimsy shift on a bunker cot,

With a dirk slit sheer through the bosom spot

And the lace stiff dry in a purplish blot,

Oh was she wench or some shudderin' maid

That dared the knife and took the blade !

By God! she had stuff for a plucky jade

Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum !

 

Fifteen men on a dead man's chest

Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum !

Drink and the devil had done for the rest

Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum !

We wrapped 'em all in a mains'l tight,

With twice ten turns of a hawser's bight,

And we heaved 'em over and out of sight

With a Yo-Heave-Ho! and a fare-you-well !

And a sudden plunge in the sullen swell

Ten fathoms deep on the road to hell !

Yo-ho-ho and a bottle of rum !

[death tribble]

I hear you laughing in some other room
And it makes me feel locked out
You say my passion often stifles you
And you need to move about

But I was taught that boys need girls and girls need boys
You say that's not true
You'd rather fool around than be alone with me
Well, that's alright for you

Cause you got love, love
Love on your side
Cause you got love, love
Love on your side
Cause you got love, love
Love on your side
Cause you got love, love
Love on your side

I've bought you sentimental roses
But you gave them all away
I've played you all my favorite records
Then we spent the night in talking, talking all the time...

You sent me home
I was so surprised to find that after all
It doesn't hurt to be alone

Cause you got love, love
Love on your side
Cause you got love, love
Love on your side
Cause you got love, love
Love on your side
Cause you got love, love
Love on your side

Well all the things you say make perfect sense to me
Somehow I'm still unsure
Then I catch myself going through the same old rhapsody
RAP BOY RAP !

And I don't understand just what I'm doing to myself
I guess that's nothing new
Cause when you meet someone who doesn't follow all the rules
It changes everything you do

Cause you got love, love
Love on your side
Cause you got love, love
Love on your side
Cause you got love, love
Love on your side
Cause you got love, love
Love on your side

[death tribble]

In the name of...

In the name of...

Hey you,
I've seen your face before
It's you in the picture which hangs on my bedroom wall
Is it true ? All of those things that they say about you
So tell me, tell me, tell me what am I supposed to do

In the name of love, yeah
In the name of love
In the name of love, yeah
In the name of love

Well it's fun to think that I'm having the time of my life
And it's true if all this around us is paradise, paradise, paradise, paradise
But now I want to be left here with nothing at all
Even the picture has fallen away from the bedroom wall

In the name of love, yeah
In the name of love
In the name of love, yeah

You told me you loved me
So I don't understand
Why promises are snapped in two
And words are made to bend
(The bigger, the better)
Some stolen from Japan
Collected from around the world
They'll catch you if they can

Lies lies lies yeah
Lies lies lies yeah
Lies lies lies yeah
Lies lies lies yeah

Do I have to catch you out
To know what's on your mind ?
Well, Cleopatra died for Egypt
What a waste of time

White ones and red ones
And some you can't disguise
Twisted truth and half the news
Can't hide it in your eyes

Lies lies lies yeah
Lies lies lies yeah
Lies lies lies yeah
Lies lies lies yeah

You say you'll try harder
But I think it's just too late
Well the car is revving in the drive
And I'm not the sort to wait

(The bigger, the better)
Some nicked from old Saigon
Collected from around the world
Love lies on and an and on and on and on and

Lies lies lies yeah (they're gonna get you)
Lies lies lies yeah (they won't forget you)
Lies lies lies yeah (they're gonna get you)
Lies lies lies yeah

Oh you know I know

Lies lies lies yeah

Ages and Ages "Divisionary"

"Do the right thing, do the right thing.
Do it all the time, do it all the time.
Make yourself right, never mind them.
Don't you know you're not the only one suffering?"

[Greywind]

No more runnin' down the wrong road
Dancin' to a different drum
Can't you see what's goin' on
Deep inside your heart
Always searchin' for the real thing
Livin' like it's far away
Just leave all the madness in yesterday
You're holdin' the key
When you believe it

 

Shine sweet freedom
Shine your light on me
You are the magic
You're right where I want to be
Oh sweet freedom carry me along
We'll keep the spirit alive on and on

 

We'll be dancin' in the moonlight
Smilin' with the risin' sun
Livin' like we've never done
Goin' all the way
Reachin' out to meet the changes
Touchin' every shining star
The light of tomorrow is right where we are
There's no turnin' back
From what I'm feeling

 

Shine sweet freedom
Shine your light on me
You are the magic
You're right where I want to be
Oh sweet freedom carry me along
We'll keep the spirit alive on and on

'Cause there'll be starlight all night
When we're close together
Share those feelings dancin' in your eyes
Tonight they're guiding us
Shinin' till the mornin' light

[Greywind]

I don't want you to misunderstand me
I just want to say what's on my mind
No need to hit me with an attitude
Because I haven't got the time

 

I want you to know one thing is certain
I truly love your company
I won't take no if that's you answer
At least, that's my philosophy

 

Stay the night, there's room enough here for two
Stay the night, I'd like to spend it with you
Stay the night, why don't we call it a day
No on can stop us, and nothing is in the way

 

It comes from friendly conversation
And if you still don't have a clue
Unless there's something else you've got in mind
We've got better things to do

 

Stay the night, there's room enough here for two
Stay the night, I'd like to spend it with you
Stay the night, Why don't we call it a day
No one can stop us, and nothing is in the way

 

Here by my side
(Just to have you near me) And when I get next to your body
(Just to have you near me) Oh
One thing I can tell you, we're gonna be fine
We're gonna have a very good time!

 

Stay the night, there's room enough here for two
Stay the night, I'd like to spend it with you
Stay the night, Why don't we call it a day
No one can stop us, and nothing is in the way

 

Woooooh, woooooh, woooooh
No one can stop us, and nothing is in the way
What do you want to say?

 

Stay the night
Stay the night

[death tribble]

This old life seemed much too long
With little point in going on
I couldn't think of what to say
Words just vanished in a haze
I was feeling cold and tired
Yeah, kinda sad and uninspired

When it almost seemed too much
I see your face and sense the grace
And feel the magic in your touch

Oh, lay your hands
Lay your hands on me
Oh, lay your hands (woo hoo)
Oh, lay your hands
Oh, lay your hands on me
Oh, lay your hands

Back and forth across the sea
I have chased so many dreams
But I have never felt a grace
That I have felt in your embrace
I was tired and I was cold
Yeah, with a hunger in my soul

When it almost seemed too much
I see your face and sense the grace
And feel the magic of your touch

Oh, lay your hands
Oh, lay your hands on me
Lay your hands, woo hoo
Oh, lay your hands
Oh, lay your hands on me
Oh, lay your hands, oooh

You know make me feel so good
Yeah, like I never ever thought I would
You know you make me feel so strong
And now our laughter just goes on and on (and on)
So c'mon lay your hands on me
'Cause close to you
Is where I really wanna be

And if it ever gets too much
I see your face and sense the grace
And feel the magic in our touch

Oh, lay your hands
Lay your hands on me
Oh, lay your hands (Woo hoo)
Oh, lay your hands
Oh, lay your hands on me
Oh, lay your hands
Ooh, lay your hands
Oh, lay your hands
Oh, lay your hands on me
Oh, lay your hands (Woo hoo)
Oh, lay your hands
Oh, lay your hands on me
Oh, lay your hands

[death tribble]

I saw you there
Just standing there
And I thought I was only dreaming, yeah

I kissed you then
Then once again
You said you would come and dance with me

Dance with me
Across the sea
And we can feel the motion of a thousand dreams

Doctor ! Doctor !
Can't you see I'm burning, burning
Oh Doctor ! Doctor !
Is this love I'm feeling ?

Ships at night
Give such delight
But we all leave before the morning light

Please don't go
No, please don't go
Cause I don't want to stay here on my own

Oh Doctor ! Doctor !
Can't you see I'm burning, burning
Oh Doctor ! Doctor !
Is this love I'm feeling ?

Doctor ! Doctor !
Can't you see I'm burning, burning
Oh Doctor ! Doctor !
Is this love I'm feeling ?

Fever breathe your love on me
Take away my name
Fever lay your hands on me
Never be the same

Oh Doctor ! Doctor !
Can't you see I'm burning, burning
Oh Doctor ! Doctor !
Is this love I'm feeling ?

Doctor ! Doctor !
Can't you see I'm burning, burning
Oh Doctor ! Doctor !
Is this love I'm feeling ?

Come with me
And make believe
We can travel to eternity

She walks in and I'm suddenly a hero
I'm taken in, my hopes begin to rise
Look at me, can't you tell
I'd be so thrilled to see the message in your eyes
You make it seem I'm so close to my dream
And then suddenly it's all there

 

Suddenly the wheels are in motion
And I, I'm ready to sail any ocean
Suddenly I don't need the answers
'Cause I, I'm ready to take all my chances with you

 

How can I feel you're all that matters
I'd rely on anything you say
I'll take care that no illusions shatter
If you dare to say what you should say
You make it seem I'm so close to my dream
And then suddenly it's all there

 

Suddenly the wheels are in motion
And I, I'm ready to sail any ocean
Suddenly I don't need the answers
Cos I, I'm ready to take all my chances with you

 

Why do I feel so alive when you're near
There's no way any hurt can get through
Longing to spend every moment of the day with you
With you

 

Suddenly the wheels are in motion
And I, I'm ready to sail any ocean
Suddenly I don't need the answers
'Cause I, I'm ready to take all my chances with you

She lives in a big white house
The rooms are lemon and she's devoted to life
of keeping this house just right, ooh, ooh
The weekends are perfectly nice ooh, ooh
And she doesn't talk when he comes home at night
Twenty five years she's just the same
She's a lonely woman, quiet in her ways
Then he comes home one night
She kills him with a knife
Now she's the one who's a living in paradise

(Sister of mercy) No sister of mercy
Oh don't cry for me
(sister of mercy) No sister of mercy
It's all alright for me

Now she sits in a big white chair
In a room that's not so different to the one back there
She turns her face to the light
But she is blinded by her life
You can hear her cry alone at night

(Sister of mercy) No sister of mercy
Oh don't cry for me
(sister of mercy) No sister of mercy
It's all alright for me

So have mercy on that woman you don't know the way it's been
You don't know the trouble her eyes have seen
Can you feel the kiss of life when you come home at night?
Well, you better not turn your back on a paradise
(Sister of mercy) No sister of mercy
Oh don't cry for me
(sister of mercy) No sister of mercy
It's all alright for me

Sister of mercy (Sister of mercy)
Sister of mercy oh, oh

I work on the front line
I work to survive
I sleep in a fever
So this is my life

I cry in my sleep (Cry boy, Cry boy)
Just makes me weep when I try, how I try
Know what it means to work hard on machines
It's a labour of love so please don't ask me why

Working for reason (Day in, Day out)
Trying to hard (He's trying too hard)
Moving in circles (Too hot, Too hot)
Don't get very far (Don't get very far)

Should I ask you to dance (Dance Boy, Dance Boy)
If I promised romance would you come for the ride
I know what it means to work hard on machines
Will you believe in love, one that lasts for all time

You take me up
You take me up to the higher ground
You take me up
So high
Now I never want to come back down

I'm gliding these hard time (Day in, Day out)
There's hope in your eyes (Hope in his eyes)
I don't need a religion (Too hot, Too hot)
Cos' this love never dies (Love never dies)

I believe in today (Believe boy, Believe boy)
It's better that way and you work through the night
I know what it means to work hard on machines
It's a labour of love so please don't ask me why

You take me up
You take me up to the higher ground
You take me up
So high
Now I never want to come back down

So high
Now I never want to come back down

Too many broken hearts have fallen in the river
Too many lonely souls have drifted out to sea
You lay your bets and then you pay the price
The things we do for love, the things we do for love

 

Communication is the problem to the answer
You've got her number and your hand is on the phone
The weather's turned and all the lines are down
The things we do for love, the things we do for love

 

Like walking in the rain and the snow
When there's nowhere to go
And you're feelin' like a part of you is dying
And you're looking for the answer in her eyes
You think you're gonna break up
Then she says she wants to make up

 

Ooh you made me love you
Ooh you've got a way
Ooh you had me crawling up the wall

 

Like walking in the rain and the snow
When there's nowhere to go
And you're feelin' like a part of you is dying
And you're looking for the answer in her eyes
You think you're gonna break up
Then she says she wants to make up

 

Ooh you made me love you
Ooh you've got a way
Ooh you had me crawling up the wall

 

A compromise would surely help the situation
Agree to disagree but disagree to part
When after all it's just a compromise of
The things we do for love, the things we do for love

[Greywind]

Gonna find my baby, gonna hold her tight
Gonna grab some afternoon delight
My motto's always been 'when it's right, it's right'
Why wait until the middle of a cold dark night?
When everything's a little clearer in the light of day
And we know the night is always gonna be there any way

 

Thinkin' of you's workin' up my appetite
Looking forward to a little afternoon delight
Rubbin' sticks and stones together makes the sparks ingite
And the thought of lovin' you is getting so exciting

Sky rockets in flight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight

 

Started out this morning feeling so polite
I always though a fish could not be caught who wouldn't bite
But you've got some bait a waitin' and I think I might try nibbling
A little afternoon delight
Sky rockets in flight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight

 

Please be waiting for me, baby, when I come around
We could make a lot of lovin' 'for the sun goes down

 

Thinkin' of you's workin' up my appetite
Looking forward to a little afternoon delight
Rubbin' sticks and stones together makes the sparks ingite
And the thought of lovin' you is getting so exciting
Sky rockets in flight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight
Afternoon delight

Afternoon delight!

[Greywind]

Makin' it
Ooh-ooh-ooh
Makin' it

I'm solid gold
I've got the goods
They stand when I walk
Through the neighborhoods

I'm makin' it
I've got the chance
I'm takin' it
No more, no more
Fakin' it
This time in life
I'm makin' it (oh-oh-oh)
Makin' it

Hello uptown
Goodbye poverty
The top of the ladder is waiting for me
I'm makin' it
I've got the chance
I'm takin' it
No more, no more
Fakin' it
This time in life
I'm makin' it (oh-oh-oh)

 

Listen everyone here
This coming year's gonna be my year
I'm as bad as they come
Number two to no one
I've got looks, I've got brains
And I'm breakin' these chains
Make some room now dig what you see
Success is mine
I've got the key
I'm makin' it

[death tribble]

Don't mess with Dr. Dream
Don't mess with Dr. Dream.

Come lay your head down on the stone
So cool and white and welcome home.
Oh, lose your troubles
Ease your pain
Soothe your soul in golden rain.

Blue marble seas (I will make you feel so good) roll over me.
Blue marble dreams (like you always knew you would) roll over me.

Don't mess with Dr. Dream
Don't mess with Dr. Dream
He's not one for sympathy.
Don't mess with Dr. Dream
Don't mess with Dr. Dream
He will bring you to your knees.

In the hours before the dawn,
You curse the day that you were born.
Those demons scream in ecstasy and you crawl around in agony.
Doctor jeers and fades away
Yeah, this is the price that you must pay.

Blue marble seas (I will make you feel so good) roll over me.
Blue marble dreams (like you always knew you would) roll over me.
Don't take that, take this !

Take this !

He's not one for sympathy
He will bring you to your knees.
Oh, lose your troubles
Ease your pain
This is the price you must pay.

Don't mess with Dr. Dream
Don't mess with Dr. Dream
He's not one for sympathy.
Don't mess with Dr. Dream
Don't mess with Dr. Dream
He will bring you to your knees.
Don't mess with Dr. Dream
Don't mess with Dr. Dream
He's not one for sympathy.
Don't mess with Dr. Dream
Don't mess with Dr. Dream
He will bring you to your knees.

Don't take that
Take this !

Wake up in a strange land, one of forty thieves
And I see for the first time just what you believe
I go down to the market where I can buy or sell
And listen to the chanting and all the lies the wise ones tell

They say
East is east, west is west
Two diff'rent colors on the map
We say break the line, chew the fat
And keep moving out into the gap

Beggars in the back street, there for all the world to leave
It's you that's begging for attention
Well it's all the same to me
And I won't ask permission, not from teachers or from kings
Cause I can see for myself all the pain that you will bring

They say
East is east, west is west
Two diff'rent rhythms to the rap
We say break the line, chew the fat
And keep moving out into the gap

They say
East is east, west is west
Two diff'rent colors on the map
We say break the line, chew the fat
And keep moving out into the gap

They say
East is east, west is west
Two diff'rent colors on the map
We say break the line, chew the fat
And keep moving out into the gap

Can you smell the perfume of a hundred thousand years?
Dare you look into the eyes that hide a hundred million tears?
But there's no need to be so frightened of all the figures in the night
Cause we share the same emotions and no one's wrong and no one's right

Cause they say
East is east, west is west
Two diff'rent colors on the map
We say break the line, chew the fat
And keep moving out into the gap

They say
East is east, west is west
Two diff'rent colors on the map
We say break the line, chew the fat
And keep moving out into the gap

They say
East is east, west is west
Two diff'rent rhythms to the rap
We say break the line, chew the fat
And keep moving out into the gap

Well, a-beat the drum and hold the phone
The sun came out today
We're born again, there's new grass on the field
A-roundin' third and headed for home
It's a brown-eyed handsome man
Anyone can understand the way I feel

Oh, put me in coach, I'm ready to play today
Put me in coach, I'm ready to play today
Look at me, I can be centerfield

Well, I spent some time in the Mudville Nine
Watching it from the bench
You know I took some lumps, when the mighty Case struck out
So say hey, Willie, Tyler Cobb
And Joe DiMaggio
Don't say it ain't so, you know the time is now

Oh, put me in coach, I'm ready to play today
Put me in coach, I'm ready to play today
Look at me, I can be centerfield

Yeah, I got it, I got it

Got a beat-up glove, a home-made bat
And a brand new pair of shoes
You know I think it's time to give this game a ride
Just to hit the ball, and touch 'em all
A moment in the sun
It's a-gone and you can tell that one good-bye

Oh, put me in coach, I'm ready to play today
Put me in coach, I'm ready to play today
Look at me (yeah), I can be centerfield

Oh, put me in coach, I'm ready to play today
Put me in coach, I'm ready to play today
Look at me, gotta be, centerfield
Yeah

Temptation falls in your path
No hesitation why you ask
You have another waiting at home
And yes she matters to you
Kind of woman that'll haunt you
Kind of woman that'll haunt you
She matters to you
Kind of woman that'll haunt you
She matters to you

 

You didn't mean to meet her you cry
Oh but the sun goes down every night
She came to you when you were alone
And yes she matters to you
Kind of woman that'll haunt you
Kind of woman that'll haunt you
She matters to you

 

I promised myself, a long time ago
It would be difficult to let you go
If not at least within
The touch of my fingers
It was close to being
In heaven
Kind of woman that'll haunt you
To being in heaven
Kind of woman that'll haunt you
Is to be in heaven
Kind of woman that'll haunt you
I know I know
