Where you wanna go tonight I'll slip into that thing you like Show off my exotic side When you say, dance for me girl Don't be shy Don't even have to touch you You know I'm burning up inside When I get my hands on you I feel desire come alive And oh, it's thrilling This slow embrace And how I tremble When you pick up the pace Set a tempo for me baby Yeah and I can be your slow jam Wanna hold hands I'll take my time when the time is right And delight in your delight I wanna be the demon of your dreams And shake it like I mean it Like you ain't ever seen it I'll quicken your pulse when the moment's right And delight in your delight Oh yes, I tremble when you pick up the pace I don't even have to tell you You know just what I like Then suddenly you change it up And make me change my mind Set a tempo for me baby Yeah and I can be your slow jam Wanna hold hands I'll take my time when the time is right And delight in your delight I wanna be the demon of your dreams And shake it like I mean it Like you ain't ever seen it I'll quicken your pulse when the moment's right And delight in your delight

On and On 03:15
I tend to systemize and stabilize the everyday And so I realize while sanitizing hands that my stay In hospital bathrooms is much too familiar As I navigate prostrate hand to splash my face It's been a space you haven't been well Six months ago giving 'em hell And saving lives like mine, mom Taught me how to be kind And that love is best bestowed and inspired With generosity Think you admired my likeness to my dad Both me and you know he was cool But don't sweat I'ma get it Ten times over compared to him I won't let a whim Threaten this compassion that you gave me And maybe if I'm sitting right here just by You and I can pass the time in smiles Let you feel how precious life can be While we explore the great mystery That you will enter on ahead of me Well I'm not quite sure what I believe But I do preminisce Or maybe I just wish This ain't the first time our souls have met And it won't be the last The past will stay in my heart you can bet It's OK to get upset It's hard to face down death But we'll face it with you, mom And carry your spirit on and on Well I was helpless to heal you But now empowered to feel, too You made this woman strong Enough to carry you on and on Now you've returned to the spirit And it's damn hard to hear it But in every step of this human marathon I'll bring you along On and on

War 03:57
There might be room for doubt But there's no time for getting out of town And so the home turf Puts me in a short skirt And wonders why I won't come down There might be loss of steam But there's no such thing as clean anyway And so you rumble Demand me to be humble Are you surprised that I won't stay? There might be one more chance But I know you and you won't dance So how the hell can I relate? I buy the smallest thing It's a steal, hardly worth considering But the parts came from a distance And someone worked for sixpence And couldn't sleep for all their cares It might be cheap for me But the living is killing My friends across the sea And there's war underneath your nails There's war up your sleeves There's war in what you buy and sell And in how you treat the disease There's peace on your smiling lips But war in your ego There's war in all the things you won't look in the eye In all the places you will and will not go

Every day I'm moving past I look away Every hour I'm thinking something new to say Every accent Every imitation Every day I'm feeling glass I need to play Every night I'm dreaming journeys far away Every action Every invitation Every day I'm being asked Are you OK? Every week I'm helpless in a hundred ways Every caption Every explanation I can't get enough for you I can't get enough for you I couldn't get enough of you I never will be done with you In the morning In the early afternoon Minutes pass but never short and never soon No attention None of it to cling to In the evening Hurrying to some display Hours pass but never seem to fly away No exception None of them to make excuse I'll never be there for you I'll never catch up with you I'll never be enough for you I couldn't get enough of you I can't get enough of you I, it wouldn't be enough for you I can't get enough for you I wonder what it meant to you Such a subtle difference between Being elevated into A Hollywood romance scene And succumbing to the gravity Of a planet-sized personality I'll never be there for you I'll never catch up with you I'll never be enough for you I couldn't get enough of you I can't get enough of you I, it wouldn't be enough for you I can't get enough for you I wonder what it meant to you

Occupée, ouai, à pensant, engagée On se met les mains aux quelques projets Au matin, levée tôt, jamais assez Des heures ou des journées Dépêches-toi ou au revoir, c’est bien ça La devise des villes, le questiones pas Mais grâce à l’univers quand le soleil est bas Le sauvage arrivera Nous vraiment adorons Dancer, bavarder Pour éviter la folie On souscrit à deux vies La prescription est arrivée Flattez, jouez, manoeuvrez, répétez Soyez sage mais ne le définissez pas Ou on vous prendra comme risqués On ne rend guère compte que En dessous son psyché fragmente Quel courage au barrage de tourmente Heureusement, la soirée, on le sent Nous vraiment adorons Dancer, bavarder Pour éviter la folie On souscrit à deux vies C’est l’heure de rester On s’enfuit pour chercher de la paix Suis bien de la force et de la santé Si pas pourquoi les maîtres t'ont cultivée? Tu rêves peut-être à se diriger Sans à personne falloir demander Hésite pas c’est à toi de trouver le clé La vie n’est que les possibilités Quel pays des merveilles L'idée de vivre chaque journée En répondant sans peur Aux appels de nos coeurs Nous vraiment adorons Dancer, bavarder Pour éviter la folie On souscrit à deux vies

Trade places with me Hate to be away Faded memories Well I can see you there in two dimensions Hear the sound of you But it's just not the same So trade places with me Surely you will see I'm fading fast here without you But if we trade your place for mine For sure we'll still be loving blind But I'll take comfort knowing you Are there occupying the space I once filled While I sink into where your warmth lingers still And if I awaken to an empty pillow there Won't it be so nice to at least smell your hair Trade places with me Pull the words apart In little agonies Well I perceive the hints you leave The broadcast I almost believe But it's not quite the same Trade places with me Take the space was mine Revel in the energy For if we trade your place for mine It might just serve to pass the time And it would be a joy to see Are there occupying the space I once filled While I sink into where your warmth lingers still And if I awaken to an empty pillow there Won't it be so nice to at least smell your hair Separated by so much space Put me right there in your place Struggling to pass the time Come and take this place of mine Trade places with me Hate to be away Faded memories Well I can see you there in two dimensions Hear the sound of you But it's just not the same So trade places with me Surely you will see I'm fading fast here without you But if we trade your place for mine For sure we'll still be loving blind But I'll take comfort knowing you . . . I can see you there in two dimensions Hear the sound of you But it's just not the same
