"SHADOW"

Demons are crawlin' all through the cracks
It's gettin' dark, and I don't know my way back
I lost the keys shiverin' in the dirt
Blood up to my knees in Albuquerque

Can you get me out of here?
Can you get me out of here?
'cos my shadow's my own worst fear

Tentacles diggin' holes in my skin
I'd tell you where they come from
but I don't know where I been

Come sunrise I'll be eaten alive
Tell me how the hell does anyone survive
so fuckin' high, so fuckin' low
I was so fuckin' high, with no place to go

Can you get me out of here?
Can you get me out of here?
'cos my shadow's my own worst fear

'til I woke up from this dream
tattered sheets, painful screams
from horrid scenes
being laid out, strung up, so fucked up on a torn up porch in New Orleans

I was so fuckin' high, so fuckin' low
I was so fuckin' high, but where did I go?

Can you get me out of here?
Can you get me out of here?
Can you get me out of here
before my shadow disappears

 

"SHAKE, SHAKE, SHAKE"

One night of kicks
for just a moment on your lips
Your hands tanglin' in my skin
Got me whipped
Movin' on down, movin' on down my hips

I shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake

Yeah, I said to you, "I've never done this before"
I was just lyin' so I could get inside your door
and shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake wit' you
shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake wit' you

Don't know your name, but I know your face
know your taste
You made it rain, you made it rain
from your mouth below my waist
Made me drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip, drip between my legs
slitherin' down yo' face

Yeah, I said to you, "I've never done this before"
I was just lyin' so I could get inside your door
and shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake some more
shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake some more

I don't even know your name, don't need to know your name, I don't know yo'name
but we woke up in the same place
I'm not ashamed, no I'm not ashamed, not ashamed, not ashamed, not ashamed
'cos you came
my way
O, you came
to play
I'm not ashamed, no I'm not ashamed, not ashamed, not ashamed, not ashamed
'cos I came
O, I came
to shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake wit' you
shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake wit' you

Made me feel so right wit' yo' nibbles 'n' yo' bites
made me feel so right
rollin' 'round hotel sheets o' white
Made me feel so right
had me shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
all through the night
all through the night
all through the night

Yeah, I said to you, "I've never done this before"
I was just lyin' so I could get inside your door
and shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake once more
shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake, shake once more

"I'LL THINK OF YOU"

Silence echoes on the walls, as I don't hear from you at all
And it's gettin' so cold in my bed
I miss your soft, supple skin
and the way you used to kiss my hand
so sweetly
I miss you dearly

I'll think of you when the sky turns blue
I'll think of you when the sun starts to shine
I'll think of you when the rain begins to fall
I'll think of you most of all
all year long

Wasn't even a sign
It's like we're runnin' 'round in circles in my mind
I don't know which way you're goin'
Timin's always off
It's like we were cursed from the start

I'll think of you when the sky turns blue
I'll think of you when the sun starts to shine
I'll think of you when the rain begins to fall
I'll think of you most of all

Icicles start to form
they remind me of when you held me and kept me warm
Now my bones are cold
I shiver and I cry
Today I'm here
but tomorrow I might die

but I'll think of you when the sky turns blue
I'll think of you when the sun starts to shine
I'll think of you when the rain begins to fall
I'll think of you most of all
when I'm gone

 

"COME A LITTLE CLOSER"

Come a little closer now
Come a little closer now
No one has to know, no one has to know
what we're talkin' 'bout

Come a little closer now
Come a little closer now
No one has to know
that we touch, that we fuck, that we love
No one has to know
anything 'bout us

Do you feel this now?
Do you want this now?

It's in yo' head
me in yo' bed
where you kissed my neck
it made me so damn
well
what do you want?
Is it love
or just some fun?
Wait for the moon
to push the sun
I'll take you so far
'round town
O, come with me
down
town

Do you wanna fuck?
Do you wanna touch?
Do you wanna ride all night?
Do you wanna go downtown?
Do you wanna ride all night?
'Cos I can't get yo' taste off my fuckin' mind
Just sittin' here thinkin' 'bout goin' down
O, my god I need you right here, right now
O, my dear, I need you now

'Cos It's in my head
me in yo' bed
where I kissed yo' neck
it made me so damn
well
what do Iwant?
Is it love
or just some fun?
Wait for the moon
to make your move
I'll take you so far
just make your  move

Come a little closer now
Come a little closer now
No one has to know
that we touch, that we fuck, that we love
No one has to know
anything 'bout us
No one has to know
anything 'bout us

 

"WHAT IF I STAYED?"

What if I stayed with you tonight
would that be okay?
We can make things right
'Cos I miss how you sleep
I miss how you sigh
I miss the rhythm of your heart
I miss yo' breath
breathin' into mine

And time moves so slowly
And the world seems so down
Tryin' so hard to live
but it's not easy
without you around

Would you let me back in?
Would you let me come inside?
Wanna feed off your soul
Need to be by your side
'Cos it's you I been missin'
and it's you that I love
We can take things slowly
Do it right this time
I wanna wake beside you
I breathe for you only

And time moves so slowly
And the world seems so down
Tryin' so hard to live
but it's not easy
without you around 2x's

What if I stayed with you tonight
would that be okay?
We can make things right

 

"YOU GOT SOME GROWIN' UP TO DO"

You got some growin' up to do
You got some growin' up to do
Child, I want you 
but so does everyone you screw
'n' you been runnin' 'round, like a dirty hound
You got some growin' up to do

Baby, I watch you as you run
Baby, I watch you as you run
You said dat I'm the only one
but someone else had loaded your gun
So you shoot me down
I'm bloodied on your ground
but I won't ever be done
so I just watch you as you run

Tease, tease, tease
You got me beggin' you "please"
You got me locked in 
O, yo' my dirrty sin
'n' I won't ever be set free
So tease, tease, tease

Now you come back down
Now you come back down
You like to hear my sound
You wanna come on in

Child, I love you 
but mother fucker can't stay true
'n' you been runnin' 'round, with everyone in towne
You got some growin' up to do

 

"ONE MORE DRINK"

Woke up, this mornin'
feelin' like hell
What's goin' on, darlin'
My troubles I can't tell
O, I can't tell
O, I can't tell
'Cos these tear stains bleed
The troubles on my mind
they whisper in my ear
tell me all the things that I should fear
and what I fear
is me

I take one more drink from the bottle
Then I bury my head in the water
wishin' I felt nothin'
O, the stories that I could tell
O, the stories that I could tell

Another road
Another mile alone
I keep seein' signs
but I got no home
No home
No home

I take one more drink from the bottle
Then I bury my head in the water
wishin' I felt nothin'
O, the stories that I could tell
O, the stories that I could tell

Pack my things
Gonna get outta here
Hey, tell me, mister
What do you fear?
He said, "these voices
these cries at night
They put up somethin'
a really good fight."

And I don't know 
I don't know what's goin' on
And I don't know 
I don't know what's goin' on
inside my bones
inside my head
Can you feel my skin?
can you feel anything?
Is anyone there?
can you take me?
'cos I'll tell you why
I'm so scared


"STELLA"

Stella, let me in
O, Stella, open up this screen door
dammit
Stella, let me in
I need a nip of you to wash down this gin
Stella!
Why you actin' like this?
Act like a woman
Come here!
Gimme a kiss

'Cos I'm a man
I came to show you I am
Sit you down 'n fuck you like no one else can
I'm a man, sweetheart
I'm every woman's sin
I am
I am
I am

Stella, why you actin' like this?
O, Stella, I'm gonna rip off yo' dress

'Cos I'm a man
I came to show you I am
Sit you down 'n fuck you like no one else can
I'm a man, darlin'
I'm every woman's sin
I am
I am
I am

Stella
Stella
Stella!
I'm the venom between yo' hips
I pound moments of joy, moans, 'n' bliss
you can't resist
you won't resist
You know why
Tell me why
That's right

'Cos I'm a man
I'm 'bout to show you I am
throw you down 'n fuck you like no one else can
I'm a man,
child
I'm yo' worst nightmare and your favorite sin
I am
I am
I am
Stella
let me in

 

"GONE AGAIN"

Went around the corner lookin' for your face
Steps back to where you are I cannot trace
You know I'm scared, you know I'm scared

The lights are red
and there's nowhere to go
My legs are movin' fast
and my heart is droppin' low
you're gone again
You're gone Again

and I'm so weak
I got no will
I got no strength
since you went away

Went around the corner to get some booze
It's killin' me quickly, but I got nothin' to lose
since I lost you, since I lost you

Drink a whole bottle to fill this space
Everything's dyin' in this empty place
same as me
Same as me

I'd rather be alone 
than with anyone but you, anyone but you in the end

 

"ON THE GROUND"

I've run 'cross the rivers, run 'cross the tides
Traveled the deserts, the pastures, the open skies
but I couldn't tell you where I've been to save my life
I keep goin' 'n' goin' 'til I get there one night
And all I do is have you on my mind
You keep me goin' 'n' goin' all through the night

Look to the scarecrows, their eyes 'n' limbs
Speak with their beaks
but I hear nothin' but the wind

Your heart it bellows
it sings to me
and I see the things you let no one else see
and I'm here for you and it's you I come runnin' to
So lay your head down, and keep your feet on the ground

My soul it weeps, it cries all night
Hair on my arms stick up
My face is white

but I know you're 'round here, maybe the next bend
this is what keeps me goin'
And I hear your voice, it calls me in the night
"My love, my love"
but you aren't in sight

And your heart it bellows
it sings to me
and I see the things you let no one else see
and I'm here for you and it's you I come runnin' to
So lay your head down, and keep your feet
So lay your head down, and keep your feet on the ground
