Track Name: Wasting my time
Wasting My Time



I've been trying to catch the sun
Though I know that it can't be done
Always looking for things to come
And there's so many things to do

While the masses of people grow
I See them blowing around like snow
And I'm dying to get back home
Just to waste all my time with you
I should be wasting my time with you
I should be wasting my time...

And the powers-that-be want to bring us down
They don't want our creative minds in this town
A 9 to 5 in a daily grinding high rise
Would surely be the death of me

We're so caught in the push and shove
We're so busy but so alone
And the summer can get so cold
Till I'm wasting my time with you
I should be wasting my time with you
I should be wasting my time...

Can't be a burned out robot marking time
While buckets of life are washing by
Someone tell it like it is...

Never taking the time to play
Always saving for rainy days
My vacation will start today
When I'm wasting my time with you
I should be wasting my time with you
Should be wasting my time with you
I will be wasting my time

Working and Saving and Wasting Away....

Wasting Life away,
Saving up but never time to spend....
Track Name: Bash Away
Bash Away

Here Comes Your Anger Again
You’re Firing it out through the halls
Through the walls of yourself
It’s all in the sound of your voice
It’s not in the notes or the words you are saying
Who cares

Cause happiness, it isn’t cool to love it anymore
The hippies died in ’69 now we’re back to war

Bash Away, Bash Away
Bash Away until you reach Nirvana
Bash Away
You got your anger from someone else

It’s so convenient to be
So mad at the word when the radio
Spits out that noise
Just follow the formula then
You’ll have more free time watching
Sports at the bar with your boys

Pop out your head, reveal your face, just like when you were born
You’re hiding on the other side of a prison door

Bash Away, Bash Away
Bash Away until you reach Nirvana
Bash Away
You got your anger from someone else

Is it coincidence everyone’s mad today?
Or is it because they’ve got nothing to say?

So punch a hole in the sky, make it black and blue
All the kids are taking hints, wanna be like you

Bash Away, Bash Away
Bash Away until you reach Nirvana
Bash Away
You got your anger from someone else
Track Name: Deadman
Deadman

Deadman
Be careful what you get man
Demons in your head man
Deadman

You’re preppin for the show
Just how high can you go
Don’t try to hide the blow
Now everybody knows

No plan
Ever think ahead man
Bills are in the red man
Deadman

The needle’s what you need
You’re sharing what you bleed
Now a rocky purple haze
Has crowded round your yesterdays

New life, new soul, new needs, new role
Screw your old friends, begin your end

Deadman
Hair is soaking wet man
You’re going to the shed man
With another deadman

The party’s in your head
You’re eyes are turning red
Maybe you’ll make the news
Another deadman’s learned the truth
Track Name: Goodbye Radio
Goodbye Radio

Transmitting from the southern region
Warming hearts through bitter seasons
Transistors red hot
Pushing the speakers that pump the rock and
Are you alive or on recording
Through someone’s corporate reporting
Your mouth is on a shelf
Feeding on words left by someone else and

Now Big Brother Is Watching the Show

Goodbye To My Radio
What a shame, the machine took your life for the status quo
Goodbye To My Radio
What a shame, now the suits took your soul to a death below
Goodbye Radio, Goodbye Radio

Now you’ve become so regulated
Predictable and overrated
And you’re becoming prone
To speaking in words that are not your own and
You used to be so celebrated
But now your suits are getting dated
And now the kids are gonna trade it
For Limewire..

(CH)

Nothing to do with your heart at all
Nothing to do with your soul
Nothing to chose from your endless vaults
Nothing to dedicate, nothing to celebrate
Track Name: Sara Ann Michelle
Sara Ann Michelle

Sara Ann Michelle
She is floating through a place
And her words are like a play
from Aristophanes

Sara Ann Michelle
Spicy lips of cherry red
Always slips into my head
When she's not next to me, ooohhh...

When the sun comes down she's ready to play
Some say, she never gets any sleep
She is so profound she never says no
She always goes, to all the clubs down the street

Sara Ann Michelle
Paints the sky a stormy grey
Always got good things to say
About the older days

Sara Ann Michelle
Like a star she radiates
Buying gifts along the way
To every holiday

Halloween comes round and everyone knows
She can't control, her need to tremble and scream
When scary movies come out no waiting in line
She always finds, a way to get in for free

Hangin out at the Roxy with so many
Billy Idol, Steve Stevens and Queen Freddie
Every night she got ready to go for a ride
Latin singing and dancing the night away
Sara sings with the power of Janis J
And I know that one day she will be a big
And I know that one day she will be a big
And I know in my heart she is such a big star so far

Sara Ann Michelle
She is floating through a place
And her words are like a play
from Aristophanes

Sara Ann Michelle
Spicy lips of cherry red
Always slips into my head
When she's not next to me, ooohhh...

When the sun comes down she's ready to play
When she floats downtown she radiates
Sara bathes in the glory she creates

When the sun comes down she's ready to play
When she floats downtown she radiates
Sara bathes in the glory she creates
Track Name: No One Really Knows
No One Really Knows

He’s a man that no one really knows
Till he slips into his other clothes
He’s a man that no one really knows
He’s a star
He’s a man that no one really knows
Till he goes backstage and changes clothes
He’s a man that no one really knows
He’s a Star

Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Gonna kick a little ass tonight

Outside his audience awaits his voice
Backstage he medicates his pain
10,000 stages bought some hefty toys
10,000 lawyers took away

He’s a man that no one really knows
When he creeps into his empty home
Right behind his shiny summer glow is a storm
He’s a man that no one really knows
No companion waits in silken robes
Underneath his bulging leather coat he is torn

Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Gonna kick a little ass tonight

10,000 women want to share his bed
He knows he’ll never let them stay
Cause they don’t really understand his songs
Or what he’s really trying to say

He wants to be a different man tonight
He only needs a single fan tonight
He’s got a very different plan tonight

Everything is gonna be alright
Everything is gonna be alright
Gonna kick a little ass tonight

Outside his audience awaits his voice
Backstage he medicates his pain
10,000 stages bought some hefty toys
10,000 lawyers took away

He’s a man that no one really knows…
Track Name: Dirty Little Secret
Dirty Little Secret

Lying on a frame, tracing every curve
Motion and finesse, calculate her worth
Swinging from a branch, dancing in the breeze
All her labor’s fruit’s – on forbidden trees

And when she’s older she’ll be told to move along
Returning to her man pretending nothing’s wrong

She’s got a dirty little secret
Dirty little secret
She’s got a dirty little secret
Dirty little secret

Working through the night, difficult to please
Her secondary job – brings her to her knees
Speaking different tongues, learning how to breathe
Confidence inside, was deep within her dreams

She’s so successful being someone that she’s not
But naked truth will reach the ones she couldn’t stop

The one she loves is in the east
But in the west is where she makes believe

Streaming on the web, looking for a thrill
Rising with the hour, a credit card bill
Gets the one he wants, then he sees her face
Pressure’s in his blood, pumping up his hot veins –
Stirring up a hurricane
Outro:
And when she’s older she’ll be told to move along
Returning to her man pretending nothing’s wrong
She’s so successful being someone that she’s not
But naked truth will reach the ones she couldn’t stop
Track Name: Feeling Better
Feeling Better


You can’t imagine what you’ve lost
Or calculate the cost
Of losing me
It takes a certain type of soul
For you help you take control
Of sanity

But you thought you’d try to see
If you could conquer me
Look what you’ve done

I’m feeling better now
As I fly beyond your kind
I’m feeling better now
I found the light above your sky

I had to swallow so much pride
There was no more room inside
For identity
You had a knack for grabbing hold
You seemed to have control
Of gravity

But karma’s finally saving me
From your insanity
It’s coming around

I’m feeling better now
As I fly beyond your kind
I’m feeling better now
I found the light above your sky

Once you held my glance
Nearly broke the glass that kept my pride inside
But you, you and all your kind
Will all serve your time eventually
Track Name: The Big Picture
The Big Picture
I am like a giant sponge, absorbing all the images
Spilling over values
Filling with opinions
Races, faces losing love, ignoring common lineage
Only to demise
a wealth of unheard cries

The picture
Lies before your eyes
In color
Just open up your mind
And see it from all sides

Points of View stick into you like darts from all directions
There’s no right or wrong
Fighting carries on
Pondering humanity with words that cure infections
Seeing armies gone
Defenses all withdrawn

The picture
Lies before your eyes
In color
Just open up your mind
And see it from all sides

The Big Picture hangs in front of your face
But your perception is a bit out of place
You can share it if you want to display
The reflections inside you

Digesting rhetoric with a full head of steam
Don’t judge what others say till you know what they mean
Your neighbor cuts and bleeds the same as you and me
Just look at everyone
The picture
Lies before your eyes
In color
Just open up your mind
And see it from all sides

The Big Picture hangs in front of your face
But your perception is a bit out of place
You can share it if you want to display
The reflections inside you
Track Name: Hey Uncle Pumpkin
Hey Uncle Pumpkin

Hey Uncle Pumpkin
You may be alone but your still on your throne
Hey Uncle Pumpkin
Your secrets are safe can tell me today
Hey Uncle Pumpkin

I always knew that you could tell me everything about love
Find everything in your mind and put it in my cup
I always knew that you could tell me everything about love
About love

Hey Uncle Pumpkin
You may be alone but your still on your throne
Hey Uncle Pumpkin
Your secrets are safe

They always said that you could tell me everything about love
Just fill me in on everything so I can be a stud
I always knew that you could tell me everything about love
About love

What happened to that girl, the one you called Desiree
No one has seen her now for maybe 6 or 7 weeks
I only thought I’d ask, cause there’s some blood upon your cheek

You dirty, you dirty
You dirty
You dirty, dirty

You’re so dirty
You’re so dirty
You’re so dirty
Oh so dirty

Hey Uncle Pumpkin
You may be alone but your still on your throne
Hey Uncle Pumpkin
Your secrets are safe can tell me today
Hey Uncle Pumpkin
I said you may be alone but your still on your throne
Hey Uncle Pumpkin

Go have your fun
Don’t get your gun
Go have your fun
Don’t get your gun
