Dirty Mind

This is a story that I have to share
There was a party full of smoke and wine
Although not everyone was having fun...
Especially this girl!
I saw her hiding there behind her hair
She sat with her legs crossed in a party dress
And gave a look that I could not forget
Then didn't seem to care
Oh no no, she didn't seem to care....
I want a woman with a dirty mind
You can't be sure what she might have inside
I have the key
To set her free
I want a woman...
I want a woman with a dirty mind
You can't be sure what she might have inside
I have the key
To set her free
I want a woman...
She couldn't help but give another stare
So I took the cue and sat myself beside
With all her friends she acted so polite
And didn't seem to care
Just as soon as all her friends had left
She caught my eye and flashed a wicked smile
Somehow her dress slid up above her thigh
She had no underwear
Oh no no, no underwear
I want a woman with a dirty mind
You can't be sure what she might have inside
I have the key
To set her free
I want a woman...
I want a woman with a dirty mind
You can't be sure what she might have inside
I have the key
To set her free
I want a woman...
Hey yeah....
When we got home we made it last all night
Daylight reflected off our sweaty flesh
There's only one more thing I need she said
Yeah, this is what she said, yeah
"I want a woman with a dirty mind
You can't be sure what she might have inside
I have the key
To set her free
I want a woman"
I want a woman with a dirty mind
You can't be sure what she might have inside
I have the key
To set her free
I want a woman, (I want a woman),
I want a woman, (I want a woman),
I want a woman...with a dirty mind
Hey yeah

I Am Yours, You Are Mine
03:45

You and I were naked
Branches intertwined
Rooted in the earth
Waiting to rise
Leaves were reaching
Seeking the light
Between the vines
Vines that bind
Have we forgotten who we are
Forgotten what is right
Just to survive
Submit to the lie
I am yours, you are mine
Do you remember
the day you left
Couldn't hear the river
Over your soft breath
Pledged your love forever
All you could say
Before the river took you
Took you away
Have we forgotten who we are
Forgotten what is right
Just to survive
Submit to the lie
I am yours, you are mine
Have we forgotten who we are
Forgotten what is right
We must survive
Submit to the lie
I am yours, you are mine
Now waves are crashing
Crashing over head
Drifting for the ocean
Reach for my hand
Rolling over
Incessantly
Will we drift together
Or just let go?
...just to survive
Submit to the lie
I am yours, you are mine
Have we forgotten who we are
Forgotten what is right
Must we survive?
Submit to the lie
I am yours, you are mine
I am yours, you are mine
I am yours, you are mine
Mine, mine, mine, mine,
Lie, Lie, Lie, Lie

Mountain

Never come down.....
They're planting concrete walls across the road again
Your home, our home, repeatedly destroyed
Gotta get away, escape the constant noise
These pills do more … (than) just numb the pain
The answer is inside … why does it seem so far away?
Never come down from the mountain
Never come down from the mountain
Never come down, never come down
Drop your bags, hit the road
Rising through the fog, sunlight hits your face
So warm, so bright, you have to shut your eyes
Suddenly you're alive and everything is beautiful
Rising from within, the voice, says “it's all okay”
The answer is inside … why does it seem so far away?
Never come down from the mountain
Never come down from the mountain
Never come down, never come down
Drop your bags, hit the road
Say goodbye, say goodbye....
Say goodbye!
Never come down from the mountain
Never come down, never come down!
Well I may just meet you there...
Said I may just meet you there
Cause I'm sure not stayin' here...
No I'm sure not stayin' here
No I'm sure not stayin' here
No I'm sure not stayin' here!!

Leave You Baby
04:08
|
|

She ditched her friends when he walked into the bar
She promised them that it was just for fun
Her skin-tight dress struggled to cover her ass
She was certain he'd be begging for more,,,more
Well I'm gonna leave you baby
But tonight is ours
Well I'm gonna leave you baby
But tonight, I'm yours
I am
Got his attention as she started to move
But she tripped as soon as he said “hello”
He grabbed her well before she fell to the floor
She hoped that he would never let her go
He grabbed her hand, said, “let's go for a walk”,
And she skipped a little out of the door
Down at the beach they watched the afternoon sun
Reaching far over the water
Well I'm gonna leave you baby
But tonight is ours
Well I'm gonna leave you baby
But tonight, I'm yours
I'm yours...I'm yours...I'm yours
I am
She put her hand to his face
He slowly lifted his eyes
This light is too good to waste
Told him to come inside
Said no, I don't want you to change
Just hope that I can see you again
Even if it's one more night
Told him to come inside
Said no, I don't want you to change
Just hope that I can see you again
Even if it's one more night...
Just one more night
I'm yours, Im yours
and i'm gonna leave you baby
Well Im gonna leave you
But one more night (Yours)
Just one more night (Yours)
Just one more night (Yours)
I am

I Keep This Light
05:41
|
|
||
|
I come to a bridge and it’s dark... with only one light
It is old and it is worn... and many have tried to cross
So I take the first step, the bridge gives a little
I tightly grip the rail
I look down for the ground
But it’s nowhere, No it's nowhere to be found
And many have tried to cross
I may fall
And lose my life....
But I won’t give in, no I won’t give in
No no, as long as I’m alive
The howling winter wind, has chased me through the night
Now that I have begun
Well I hope I see the light
Yes I hope I see the light
I may fall
And lose my life
But I won’t give in, no I won’t give in
No as long as I’m alive
As long as I'm...
Although I am alone
I know that I may die
But I'll keep this bridge
As long as I, as Long as I’m
(This bridge - I'll keep this - as long as I am - as long as I'm)
(I 'll keep this breath, i'll keep this - I'll keep this - I'll keep this bridge)
(As long as I'm...)
Although I am alone
I know that I may die
But I keep this light, I'll keep this light
As long as I, as Long as I...
Although I am alone
I know that I may die
But I‘ll keep this light, I’ll keep this light
As long as I’m .....alive

So Much More
02:35

|

Don't suffer in silence, know there's nowhere to hide
And there has never been a better day
To pull the veil from my eyes and stand up to the lies,
Realise we've all been treated the same
I try not to believe
everything that I see
Unplug the controls, I think it's time to let go
Learn to love my inner animal
Woah Oh - what do they mean
When they tell me I am free?
Woah Oh, I think you see
There is so much more for you and ...
So much more for you and me
So much more to express, so before I forget
There is a question of my sanity
I don't want to conform, play the game, get along
I know this is a little crazy
Try not to believe, in everything that I see
There is something inside, It's more than a ride
Feels like a fucking atom bomb!
Woah Oh - what do they mean
When they tell me I am free?
Woah Oh, I think you see
There is so much more for you and ...
So much more for you and me
Hey!
Oooh Ooooh
What!?
Woah Oh....
Woah Oh - what do they mean
When they tell me I am free?
Woah Oh, I think you see
There is so much more for you and ...
So much more for you and so much more for you and me!!

Oh Emily...
Why can't you see?
While you play your games
The weather may change
But darling you stay the same
Oh Emily! Yeah-eh
Red light, short skirt
You skip across the road
Dancing in the stares of so many men
You love to hear them shout
When will it end?
Will it end?
Oh Emily..
Why can't you see?
While you play your games (Whoa oh oh)
The weather may change
But darling you stay the same
Oh Emily!
Green eyes, one night
Did you lose your nerve?
Slipping on your drink, did you want to fall?
You fell into his arms
See him again?
Him again,,,
Oh Emily

While you play your games (Whoa oh oh)
The weather may change
But darling you stay the same (Whoa oh oh)
Oh oh, oooh

Whether you stay or go

Don't make me say “I told you so”

Hey you girl...I think you like me too much!
I think you think that I'll stick around

Well I think you should know....
You don't have to go

Oh No, no, Ooh yeah

Gotta take a chance, to get you by yourself while I can
I know you like it fast and you don’t judge the way that I am
I can see that you want to, as much as I do
And I’ve been working so hard to get what I need for you
Got to get things clear in my head...sometimes
Really now there’s only one way, I have got to take you away
I wanna ride, wanna ride, wanna ride with you, oh baby
(I wanna ride with you tonight, all night)
I wanna ride, wanna ride, wanna ride with you, with you, with you
(I wanna ride with you tonight, all night)
Running out of time before the shadow rises over my head
Yeah life is for the living but if I can’t ride I’d rather be dead
Nothing more to lose, Nothing more to say
Now I can see that spark, that makes me want to take you away
away, away
Got to get things clear in my head..... sometimes
Really now there’s only one way, I have got to take you away
I wanna ride, wanna ride, wanna ride with you, oh baby
(I wanna ride with you tonight, all night)
I wanna ride, wanna ride, wanna ride with you, with you, with you
I wanna ride, wanna ride, wanna ride with you, oh baby
(I wanna ride with you tonight, all night)
I wanna ride, wanna ride, wanna ride with you, with you, with you
I wanna ride, wanna ride, wanna ride with you, oh baby
I wanna ride, wanna ride, wanna ride with you, with you, with you
I wanna ride, wanna ride, wanna ride with you, oh baby
I wanna ride, wanna ride, wanna ride with you, with you, with you
Oh whoa-oh
I wanna ride, wanna ride, wanna ride with you, oh baby
(I wanna ride with you tonight,)
I wanna ride, wanna ride, wanna ride with you, with you, with you
(I wanna ride with you tonight,)
I wanna ride, wanna ride, wanna ride with you, oh baby
(I wanna ride with you tonight,)
I wanna ride, wanna ride, wanna ride with you, with you, with you
(I wanna ride with you)
(I wanna ride with you)
With you, with you, with YOU!
yeah!!
