Walking Backward

Walking backward into a nightmare of your love

The broken pearls
Are in a bureau draw
With a lovely note of condemnation
But why the birthday card
Why the single rose
did you sort it out

I can't reciprocate
I haven't got the time
To walk backward
WALKING BACKWARD

A smile hello
From the end of the bar
Lead to nothing further
A telephone call
At one AM
But no one is there

I can't reciprocate
I haven't got the time
To walk backward
WALKING BACKWARD

After all that we've be through
You've got the nerve
To show your face
I don't feel pity
I don't feel remorse
You won't even sense a trace
There's no second chance
There's no turning back
What's done is done
And cannot be changed
Say your peace
Then leave me alone
I've got the future to embrace

The broken pearls
Are in a bureau draw
With a lovely note of condemnation
But whay the birthday card
Why the single rose
did you sort it out

I can't reciprocate
I haven't got the time
To walk backward
WALKING BACKWARD

WALKING BACKWARD

Walking backward into a nightmare of your love

WALKING BACKWARD

WALKING BACKWARD

WALKING BACKWARD....

Now you see where you're headed
And all of the places you've been

Can you SAY HELLO
Can you SAY HELLO
Can you SAY HELLO
HELLO
HELLO
SAY HELLO

You kept on
Going about your business
Pointing your finger
Never seeing
All you hid from yourself

But while you were counting on tomorrow
Yesterday came today
Can you SAY HELLO
Can you SAY HELLO
Can you SAY HELLO
HELLO
HELLO
SAY HELLO

Hey, Mister KNOW-IT-ALL
How much do you know.
Just one more time you said
But can you SAY HELLO

HELLO

HELLO

Now you see where you're headed
And all of the places you've been

Can you SAY HELLO
Can you SAY HELLO
Can you SAY HELLO
HELLO
HELLO
SAY HELLO
SAY HELLO.

1st Chorus:

You say I am
But I must not be your man
You've got me playing a game
Of catch as catch can
You're making me pick it
Like a grape at a time from a vine,
I want

ALL OF YOUR LOVE, ALL OF YOUR LOVE,
ALL OF YOUR LOVE
To be mine

2nd Chorus:

It's just not the way
I envisioned it to be
Unless I move a mountain
You're never there for me
You're doling it out
A little bit at a time
But I want

ALL OF YOUR LOVE,
ALL OF YOUR LOVE,
ALL OF YOUR LOVE
To be mine

B section:
I want it laid out
Nice and neat
Like you would a carpet
At my feet
No more pulling off
That "not there" retreat
Half-way there is where
I want us to meet

We'll make it better baby
Or I'm making tracks
So, lets sit right down
And go over
A few little facts
No more doling out
A little bit at a time
I want

ALL OF YOUR LOVE,
ALL OF YOUR LOVE,
ALL OF YOUR LOVE
To be mine

B section - 1st Chorus

BABY,YOU BETTER BE MINE

I WANT ALL OF YOUR LOVE (ALL YOUR LOVE, ALL YOUR LOVE)

ALL OF YOUR LOVE (ALL YOUR LOVE, ALL YOUR LOVE)

The Man Killing Time

Do not expect postcards
Or birthday bouquets
He's not gonna think of you unless He sees your pretty face

It's not like he's the using kind Taking you for a ride
He lives each day as it comes
That's the way he's lived all his life

He's the man (he's the man)for the Moment KILLING TIME

KILLING TIME

You may not see him for what seems Like a very, very, long while
Then one day he'll pop up, out of Nowhere, all kisses and all smiles

And he might not want anything More than to be by your side
He lives each day as it comes
That's the way he's lived all his life

He's the man (he's the man) for the Moment KILLING TIME

KILLING TIME

Your own reactions surprise you
This man has crept into your heart
And how will you ever recover
Now that THE MAN KILLING TIME has left his mark.

It's not like he's the using kind Taking you for a ride
He lives each day as it comes
That's the way he's lived all his life

He's the man (he's the man) for the Moment KILLING TIME

KILLING TIME

KILLING TIME

We've been together
we've been apart
you've touched my soul
you own my heart
but I'm waiting for the day
you open your eyes
wake up and realize
You're a fool if you can't see
I'm in love with you

I know your reactions
And how you feel
Although you try hard to conceal
You know what I'm longing for
I know your not blind
I think you've known
All the time
You're a fool if you can't see
I'm in love with you

I know you don't think I have a right
To feel the way I do
But everytime you call me up
You reel me in
It only brings me closer to you

With each affair
And every teardrop
Bound to fall
With open arms I've dried them AllAlthough I'm not classified
As true romance
I wish I had half a chance
You're a fool if you can't see
I'm in love with you

(Bridge)

(1st Verse)

You're a fool if you can't see
You're a fool if you can't see
I'm in love with you

So in love with you
HERE I AM, IN LOVE WITH YOU
HERE I AM, SO IN LOVE WITH YOU
HERE I AM, IN LOVE WITH YOU
HERE I AM!

Take a look and you will see
That HERE I AM
If love is what you really need
HERE I AM!

...Instead of all your little boys
Try a man
Here, now and forever
HERE I AM!

We've been together
We've been apart
You, you touched my soul
You own my heart
HERE I AM
HERE I AM

The way you turn me on
Is almost Sacrilegiuos
You make me scream and shout
Like a man without a prayer

Before I cum I'm in Bedlam
But you prolong the torture
Cum with me
Don't let me cum alone

It's you who always guarantee
That I will be faithfully on my knees
Begging you for more
Begging you to stay for more

'cause I LOVE YA TA DEATH
I LOVE YA TA DEATH
I LOVE YA TA DEATH
ILOVE YA TA DEATH

And this love addictions
Got me out of control
It feels like the devil's
Condemned my soul
Ta hell with you
Cause nobody else will do
You see I love ya ta death
I LOVE YA TA DEATH

There ain't nobody, nobody, nobody
Who turns me on like you
There ain't nobody, nobody, nobody
Fill me up like you do

I LOVE YA TA DEATH

Drawing by Dexter Smith

Show, show, show me some heavenly love
Show, show, show me some heavenly love
Show, show, show me some heavenly love (Show me, show me some heavenly)

You were once a cross to bare
A threat of guilt to often dare
Achildhood friend with who
I shared exclusive company
Love was then the clinging vine
The sour grape, the bitter wine
Fermenting fruits of loves desire
Seething bittersweet

Take me to place
Where I can walk away from sorrow Where other lovers wait for fools like me
And the comfort of a strangers kiss
Is the kiss of little worth
Loving you was HELL ON EARTH...HELL ON EARTH

Now I am a ball and chain
You leave out in the pouring rain
To look upon with great destain
And treat as obsolete
Love is now the battle cry
As in military exercise
The hand to show its greater might
Will promise quick defeat

Take me to a place
Where I can walk away from sorrow
Where other lovers wait for fools like me
And the comfort of a strangers kiss
Is the kiss of little worth

Loving you was HELL ON EARTH...HELL ON EARTH

(Show me, show me some heavenly)
Show, show, show me some heavenly love
(Show me, show me some heavenly)
Show, show, show me some heavenly love
(Show me, show me some heavenly)

Then take me to a place
Where I can walk away fromsorrow
Where other lovers wait for fools like me
And the comfort of a strangers kiss
May kindle my rebirth

Loving you was HELL ON EARTH...HELL ON EARTH

HELL ON EARTH,HELL ON EARTH

Show, show, show me some heavenly love
Show, show, show me some heavenly love
Show, show, show me some heavenly love (Show me, show me some heavenly)

Reaper On The Prowl

Furtive glances
Street corner dark
A lurking man is
Stalking the mark
Slick black trench coat
Slouching felt hat
Fixer's out to fix things
You better get back

Thunder roars
The canyons ring
Lightnin rips the sky
Nothin's safe if it don't have wings REAPERS ON THE PROWL -Tonight.

(There's a) Walker walking
the cobblestone street
Don't know dying's
the shadow he sees
Comin close now
lurker's out of sight
Cuppin a match now
stopped for a light

Thunder roars
The canyons ring
Lightnin rips the sky
Nothin's safe if it don't have wings REAPERS ON THE PROWL -Tonight.

Never cross who you can't run from
And don't be coming
Where you shouldn't come
Don't mess around
Where you got no right
Never tease a dog with a vicious bite.

"AaaaaoooH_______"
Ready and waiting
Eyes like a cat
Slitted, shinning
Black trenchcoat's back
Hands as strong as
Vice-grip the mark
Chokin, quick snap-
Dealing death in the dark.

Thunder roars
the canyons ring
lightnin rips the sky
Nothin's safe if it don't have wings REAPERS ON THE PROWL

-Tonight.

Tonight.

TONIGHT!

The measure of pleasure
far beyond the subtle kiss
is the ration of passion
before a moments bliss
When I lose control of my commands
and I'm in the grasp of supple handsI close my eyes and understand
the animal in every man is

LIVE, LIVE AND MORE
IT IS LIVE, LIVE, LIVE, LIVE, LIVE AND MORE
LIVE AND MORE

Like a lion in the jungle
like and eagle in the sky
like a werewolf during full moon
like a vampire in the night
I need to quench each moments thirst
and act upon my desires
I need to feed the rising flame
before putting out the fire that is

LIVE, LIVE AND MORE
IT IS LIVE, LIVE, LIVE, LIVE, LIVE AND MORE
LIVE AND MORE.

And I'm not ashamed of what comes second nature
And I am not afraid
I escape my inhibitions
by learning to explore
giving into each and every condition
more than I ever did before
Yet, there are those who will defend
the sanctity on which they depend
They judge the strength of mortal men
by the senses we ignore, but we are

LIVE, LIVE AND MORE
IT IS LIVE, LIVE, LIVE, LIVE, LIVE AND MORE
LIVE AND MORE.

And I'm not afraid of what comes second nature
And I am not ashamed

I'M LIVE!

I AM LIVE AND MORE.

I AM LIVE,LIVE,LIVE, LIVE, LIVE AND MORE

MORE THAN EVER BEFORE, LIVE AND MORE...AND MORE...AND MORE....

I'm a long distance runner
in a short time I'll be gone
I'm a long distance runner
in a short time I will be gone

now you see me
now you don't
thought you had me
but you won't
I'm a long distance runner

I'm a speed demon baby
racing far away from you
I'm a speed demon baby
racing far away from you

If you try
to catch me
I thing it would be safe to say
you would lose

You been making such a fuss
about a one night stand
You're calling me a liar
but refuse to comprehend
Of coarse, I said I love you
I was hurtin'real bad
now you're trying to hold me down
making out like I'm your man

I'm gonna run, run, run, run away
I'm gonna run, run, run, run away
I'm gonna run, run, run, run away
Ain't nothing you can do
that would make me want to stay

I'm a long distance runner
in a short time I'll be gone
I'm a long distance runner baby
in a short time I'll be gone

now you see me
now you don't
thought you had me
but you won't

I'm a long distance runner
in a short time I'll be gone

I'll be gone

long gone.

You both said enough
no need to return for more
He knows how you feel
no need to return for more

If you change your mind
what do you hope to find
Are you sure you want to know
are you sure you can survive

A polite conversation or
one more bitter fight
It's either kind words in pretense
or verbal attack and defense

It's over. It's over
leave it alone
It's over. It's over
leave it alone....leave it alone

He wants you to be his friend
He wants you to return
You want to be there for him
despite everything you've learned

Nothing's really changed
You still feel the same
If you go back in
his friendship will cause you pain

you've nothing to prove to him
and certainly nothing to gain
It's been hard to stay away
now learn to let it go

It's over. It's over
leave it alone
It's over. It's over
leave it alone....leave it alone

Why even try
to capture what is lost
Why even try to fix
What is beyond repair

It's over. It's over
leave it alone
It's over. It's over
leave it alone....leave it alone

Here We Go Again

I got a call from an old friend
He said "Frank, I've got bad news"

and I knew right away
what he was going to say

Here we go again, here we go again

He told me the persons name
and started to cry I listened in silence until he could speak

His disconnected words
were those I've often heard

Here we go again, here we go again

Here we go, consoling but not healing
a heartbreak that can never really mend
Here we go, hoping not believing
this nightmare will ever see and end
Here we go again, here we go again

The conversation changed, its theme stayed the same
the pain of our sadness turned into fear

We tried to approximate the last time
we toyed with fate
Here we go again, here we go again

Here we go, looking over our shoulder
re-counting all the lovers that we've had
Here we go, jumping to conclusions
and wondering why we ever took a chance

Here we go again, here we go again

We reminisced awhile before saying goodbye
and I wondered how long, how long would it be
before I heard again
from that old, old friend

Here we go again, here we go again

Here we go, consoling but not healing
a heartbreak that can never really mend
Here we go, hoping no believing
this nightmare will ever see an end

Here we go again, here we go again,and again, and again, and again, and again, and again, and again,
one more time is too many,too many for me to say

"Oh no, not again!"
