I love the way she is looking at me
like I was a fruit hanging in her tree
the way she moves her hips
the way she wets her lips
I love the way that girl is looking at me
I love the way she is looking at me
those sea green eyes are drowning me
her smile is more like a dare
never seen that electric stare
Love the way that woman is looking at me
You can’t stop it, can’t even try
get around that beat; I can see it in your eye
the way you’re tapping your feet
looking oh so sweet
say you never dance – you never move
I’ve seen the way you’re tapping to my groove
girl you’re teasing so
feel like I’m about to explode
don’t make a fool out of me...

Every performer is a preacher
-we need to make a living
by giving a piece of the pie
look me in the eye - tell me you believing
Every performer is a preacher
yeah we need to be adored
we’d say it’s giving and getting love
but there are worms in this old dove
Where there are 2 and 2 together
they start point their hand
we’re good – them bad
we’re glad – them sad
it’s all one – pretending
Some are really good in their preaching
make me forget – all is respect
fake until you make the perfect mistake
and then hustle until your backbone brakes
Every performer is a preacher
but some I think are for real
solid like brick or steel
the ones that make you feel
you got more love to give

Where do you go!
-gone until seven
why that dreamy smile
oh whatever
I wish I was somebody with all the moves
wish I was someone that wouldn’t get the blues
– I’m so paranoid
Way down all I know
your loving pulls me through – I owe it all to you
I know all can go
-and I’m worried to the bone that my lover is not my own
….. (don’t worry – love’s going to save you)
Why you messing with me
-gone until seven
please pick up your phone
oh whatever
I know they all want your warmth, show off their moves
Hate how they cast their charm. Just giving me the blues
I’m so paranoid
Way down all I know
-your loving pulls me through – I owe it all to you
I know all can go
-and I’m worried to the bone that my lover is not my own
….. (don’t worry – love’s going to save you)

You said Jesus is a good name to moan
I love your moaning over the telephone
-please perform
You were in my private parts but nowhere near
My love I love – I want to hear you moan
Jesus is such a good name to moan
Such a good name
Maybe he’s a friend someone dear
Maybe he saved your life when I wasn’t here
-please perform
have you made your bed with myrrh and aloes?
Baby do that quote form the bible
‘Cause Jesus is such a good name to moan.
A good name to moan

Just like George I’m going into spiritual things
If I concentrate – if I really concentrate
On making things better – will they be good
You can make things lot better - now
Oh like they should – wish that everything could
Just like it all could be – oh I know what you mean - love
Love - it’s in everyone
- it’s the only thing we can share
show love
love – if you really care
if you want life to be fair
show love
love - it’s in everyone
let’s all try a little harder
to love
I’m going into spiritual things
-It’s all the same – just some different rules - the same game
might wish upon a star – get on my knees and pray
you can make things lot better – now
it’s all in your heart – that’s where everything starts
just like it’s always been – I know what you mean
love
Love - it’s in everyone
- it’s the only thing we can share
show love
love – if you really care
if you want life to be fair
show love
love - it’s in everyone
let’s all try a little harder
to love

My mom is making sounds
like she’s making love
something’s going on…
The tone of her breathing
goes straight into my bones
something’s going wrong
it’s like I’m stuck in a song
singing
Deep breathing
deep breathing
Why you breathing so
Is someone mean to you
Has the wind grown
Deep breathing
deep breathing
why you breathing so
My mom is making sounds
like she’s about to die
and I can’t get out of bed
I’m to scared to try
I begged God to stop that suffering
and I’d be forever good
my God made a miracle
but I haven’t been as I should
Deep breathing
deep breathing
why you breathing so
is someone mean to you
has the wind grown?
Deep breathing
deep breathing
why you breathing so…..

Just about to commit suicide
man I’ve stayed up all night
I keep thinking about my loved ones
how they think everything is alright
I’ve been preparing it for weeks
my mood got lows and peaks
keep thinking about my love
how they think everything is
I’m alright
I’m alright
Not like there is a word to describe how I feel
more like a fruit that’s already peeled
and I feel like all the juice is gone
and all I got is the thought of my loved one
Yeah I feel rotten as rotten can be
been a long time since I fell from that tree
but the though of my loved one
keeps on saving me
I’m alright
I’m alright

- On us thinking freedom of speech means you can act like bitch
- on hope, a dangerous word, ‘cause it can take you beyond your reach
- on the Israelis for building that ridiculous wall
- on us the fortunate ones for feeling so small
- on sexual terror against women no matter the excuse stop the abuse
- being so numb on all that suffering – just try to put yourself in their shoes
Don’t let those suckers play that game
doing bad things in your name
they want to try
to kill…. And then cry
Don’t let them drag you into shame
doing bad things in your name
‘cause they want to try
to kill and then cry
- On Americans for not being responsible for the things they do
- on the fundamentalists for not admitting they really don’t have a clue
- on those who promote fear and insecurity just to stay in power
- on those killing in the name of humanity – man, you’re a coward
- on the economy that’s driving this world – for it’s fueled by slaves
- on those making weapons not realizing – they’re really digging somebody’s grave….
Don’t let those suckers play that game
doing bad things in your name
they wanna try
to kill…. And then cry

You think I’m sucking on my thumb
well I could pause that m
I’m just gonna have this one more
yeah I’ve been drinking with the boys
Well just this one
and then I’m yeah yeah yeah
you’re asking if I can come home
and you’re begging can I come home
I don’t want you to stay up late
I just want to stay up with the boys
Just having some fun
I’m telling you
I don’t know when I’m….
Regulator.. regulator… regulator.. regulator.
You think I’m sucking on my thumb
well I could pause that m
I’m just gonna have this one more
yeah I’ve been drinking with the boys
I’m in control
it’s worth it
I’m in control
It’s worth it

the pressure is on
my precious it’s on
it’s on my shoulders
on my neck
it’s all about to crack
the pressure is on
and I feel like I’m gone
all on the tip of the tongue
it’s feeling right
but knowing it’s all wrong
so weak – pretending to be strong
I know what it means to disturb the great unrest
The only time I feel satisfied is when I’m lying on your chest
My precious my love
think I’m unwell
but there is something telling me
you’re gonna be the one braking that spell
your hugging and kissing – pulling me out of this….
I’m surprised by the warmth
With your arms all-around
I wish I could be all you want
But I’m not..
Is so simple I can only give
What I got
I know what it means to disturb the great unrest
The only time I feel satisfied is when I’m lying on your breast

Got a picture of you
just you and the boys
oh I feel loved
And I love waking up
next to you three
oh family tree
If you find someone else funny
I won’t raise my hand
I’d love you still, honey
yeah I’ll pretend
until I’m no more
a man

I don’t believe in one big harmony
That stuff ain’t for a boy like me
No no no
Just give me that beat - a nasty drive
Something that makes me feel
More alive
I’m all alone I’ve got nothing to lose
Just me, the guitar singing the blues
Please ask your God to save me
And send me his favorite melody
… To me
cause I’m
singing
swinging
singing
the blues away
When I’m lost and out of my mind
it’s just me and my guitar playing into the night
please ask your God to save me
ask your God to come and save me
Cause I’m
singing
swinging
singing
the blues away…
Save me, persuade me
with the sound of your melody
I’m singing the blues away
