Never Me

How could he know this new dawn’s light
Would change his life forever?
Set sail to sea but pulled off course
By the light of golden treasure

Was he the one causing pain
With his careless dreaming?
Been afraid, always afraid
Of the things he’s feeling
He could just be gone
He would just sail on
He’ll just sail on

How can I be lost
If I’ve got nowhere to go?
Search for seas of gold
How come it’s got so cold?
How can I be lost
In remembrance I relive
And how can I blame you
When it’s me I can’t forgive?

These days drift on inside a fog
It’s thick and suffocating
This sinking life, outside it’s hell
Inside intoxicating
He’s run aground like his life
Water much too shallow
Slipping fast down with his ship
Fading in the shadows now

A castaway
They’ve all gone away
They’ve gone away

How can I be lost
If I’ve got nowhere to go?
Search for seas of gold
How come it’s got so cold?
How can I be lost
In remembrance I relive
And how can I blame you
When it’s me I can’t forgive?

Forgive me, forgive me not
Forgive me, forgive me not
Forgive me, forgive me not
Forgive me, forgive me
Why can’t I forgive me?

Never Free

Lay beside me, tell me what they’ve done
Speak the words I wanna hear, to make my demons run
The door is locked now, but it’s opened if you’re true
If you can understand the me, then I can understand the you

Lay beside me, under wicked sky
Through black of day, dark of night, we share this paralyze
The door cracks open, but there’s no sun shining through
Black heart scarring darker still, but there’s no sun shining through
No, there’s no sun shining through
No, there’s no sun shining…

What I’ve felt, what I’ve known
Turn the pages, turn the stone
Behind the door, should I open it for you?

What I’ve felt, what I’ve known
Sick and tired, I stand alone
Could you be there? ‘Cause I’m the one who waits for you
Or are you unforgiven, too?

Come lay beside me, this won’t hurt, I swear
She loves me not, she loves me still, but she’ll never love again
She lay beside me, but she’ll be there when I’m gone
Black heart scarring darker still, yes, she’ll be there when I’m gone
Yes, she’ll be there when I’m gone
Dead sure she’ll be there…

What I’ve felt, what I’ve known
Turn the pages, turn the stone
Behind the door, should I open it for you?

What I’ve felt, what I’ve known
Sick and tired, I stand alone
Could you be there? ‘Cause I’m the one who waits for you
Or are you unforgiven, too?

Lay beside me, tell me what I’ve done
The door is closed, so are your eyes
But now I see the sun, now I see the sun
Yes, now I see it

What I’ve felt, what I’ve known
Turn the pages, turn the stone
Behind the door, should I open it for you?

What I’ve felt, what I’ve known
So sick and tired, I stand alone
Could you be there? ‘Cause I’m the one who waits,
The one who waits for you…

Oh, what I’ve felt, what I’ve known
Turn the pages, turn the stone
Behind the door, should I open it for you?

Oh, what I’ve felt…
Oh, what I’ve known…

I take this key
And I bury it in you
Because you’re unforgiven, too

Lolita

Humbert Humbert: A normal man given a group photograph of schoolgirls and asked to point out the loveliest one will not necessarily choose the nymphet among them. You have to be an artist, a madman, full of shame and melancholy and despair in order to recognize the little deadly demon among the others. She stands unrecognized by them, unconscious herself of her fantastic power.

Lolita (1997)

Sabbra Cadabra

Feel so good, I feel so fine
Love that little lady always on my mind
She gives me lovin’ every night and day
Never gonna leave her, never goin’ away

Someone to love me
You know, she makes me feel alright
Someone to need me
Love me every single night

Feel so happy since I met that girl
When we’re making love it’s something out of this world
Feels so good to know that she’s all mine
Gonna love that woman ’til the end of time

Someone to live for
Love me ’til the end of time
She makes me feel happy
It’s good to know that she’s all mine

I am the world that hides
The universal secret of all time
Destruction of the empty spaces
Is my one and only crime
I’ve lived a thousand times
I found out what it means to be believed
The thoughts and images
The unborn child that never was conceived
You gotta believe me

Hey! I’m talking to you
Well, I know its hard for you
To know the reason why
And I know you’ll understand
More when it’s time to die

I don’t believe the life you have
Will be the only one
You have to let your body sleep
To let your soul live on. Ha ha!

Feel so happy since I met that girl
When we’re making love it’s something out of this world
Feels so good to know that she’s all mine
Gonna love that woman ’til the end of time

Someone to live for
Love me ’til the end of time
oh, she makes me feel happy
It’s good to know that she’s all mine

Cherry Pie

She’s my cherry pie
Cool drink of water such a sweet surprise
Tastes so good make a grown man cry
Sweet Cherry Pie

Well, swingin’ on the front porch, swingin’ on the lawn
Swingin’ where we want ’cause there ain’t nobody home
Swingin’ to the left and swingin’ to the right
If I think about baseball I’ll swing all night, yeah

Swingin’ in the living room, swingin’ in the kitchen
Most folks don’t ’cause they’re too busy bitchin’
Swingin’ in there ’cause she wanted me to feed her
So I mixed up the batter and she licked the beater

I scream, you scream, we all scream for her
Don’t even try ’cause you can’t ignore her

Swingin’ to the drums, swingin’ to guitar
Swingin’ to the bass in the back of my car
Ain’t got money, ain’t got no gas
But we’ll bet where we’re goin’ if we swing real fast

Swingin’ in the bathroom, swingin’ on the floor
Swingin’ so hard we forgot to lock the door
In walks her daddy standin’ six foot four
He said you ain’t gonna swing with my daughter no more

She’s my cherry pie
Cool drink of water such a sweet surprise
Tastes so good make a grown man cry
Sweet cherry pie

She’s my cherry pie
Put a smile on your face ten miles wide
Looks so good bring a tear to your eye
Sweet cherry pie

Battery

Lashing out the action, returning the reaction
Weak are ripped and torn away
Hypnotizing power, crushing all that cower
Battery is here to stay

Crushing all deceivers, mashing non-believers
Never-ending potency
Hungry violence-seeker, feeding off the weaker
Breeding on insanity

Circle of destruction, hammer comes crushing
Powerhouse of energy
Whipping up a fury, dominating flurry
We create the battery

Smashing through the boundaries
Lunacy has found me
Cannot stop the battery
Pounding out aggression
Turns into obsession
Cannot kill the battery

Cannot kill the family
Battery is found in me

Nothing Else Matters

So close no matter how far
Couldn’t be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don’t just say
And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know

So close no matter how far
Couldn’t be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
But I know

I never opened myself this way
Life is ours, we live it our way
All these words I don’t just say
And nothing else matters

Trust I seek and I find in you
Every day for us something new
Open mind for a different view
And nothing else matters

Never cared for what they say
Never cared for games they play
Never cared for what they do
Never cared for what they know
And I know

So close no matter how far
Couldn’t be much more from the heart
Forever trusting who we are
No, nothing else matters
