Lyrics

1. OVER THE EDGE

Yeah I got the music cranking, Japanese TV
My head is full of jasmine smoke
I can hardly breathe
Turquoise dragons slip and slide
Sliding down my back
I'm standing on this cold, thin ice
And I'm about to crack

I'm over
I'm over
Over the edge

Seven candles burn so bright
The full moon behind a veil
The ocean crashing in my head
Outside the sirens wail
Jet black is my dirty hair
Jet black my heart and car
My lips are red, my skin snow white
My face is battle scarred

I no longer feel the pain
No longer feel my love
Just the air conditioner
And some help from the Lord above
Caughing up pieces of my broken heart
My eyes work like radar
I'm lyin' in the afterglow
How'd I ever get this far

I'm over
I'm over
Over the edge


2. SOME LIE 4 LOVE

Somewhere south of the border
Headin' for a doll serenade
Taking more than we aughta'
Shakin' off the masquerade
Lonely, she decided to see ya'
Get enough for her on the side
When the heat arrived at the motel
Whole town stayed inside

Some lie for love
Some lie for fame
Some lie for trust
Some lie in vain
Some lie for love
Some lie for gain
But I lie for you
In the pouring rain

Move on up to the Bayou
With the same old set of rules
You get nothin' for nothin'
And that's a fact
When you're tied to the ship of fools
Alice looking over her shoulder
Like a Chinese diplomat
Daring anyone to hold her
With a smile like a Cheshire cat

Some lie for love
Some lie for fame
Some lie for trust
Some lie in vain
Some lie for love
Some lie for gain
But I lie for you
In the pouring rain

Shakin' to a halt on a Voodoo
Second oldest trick in the book
No one does it quite like you do
When you start you can never
Stop...never stop
On my way to a seance
Met a gypsy renegade
Crossed my palm with silver
In my heart put a jagged stake

Some lie for love
Some lie for fame
Some lie for trust
Some lie in vain
Some lie for love
Some lie for gain
But I lie for you
In the pouring rain


3. KISS ME LOVE GOODBYE

Don't give me that look don't show me
Those tears
I don't believe 'em
I gave you my love I've had it to here
With all your cheatin'
You never believed I would find you out
It took some time I know what you're about

Kiss my love goodbye
I've had it with your lyin'
Kiss my love goodbye
You weren't even tryin'
You never thought about anyone else
You were just takin' care of your self
You were never mine
So kiss my love goodbye

You're harder than nails and baby I know
What's on your mind
That little girl smile has turned me around
(Saved your skin)
Not this time
I was breakin' my back tryin' to be there
For you I got news...you can

Kiss my love goodbye
I've had it with your lyin'
Kiss my love goodbye
You weren't even tryin'
You never thought about anyone else
You were just takin' care of your self
You were never mine
So kiss my love goodbye

Don't tell me that your heart is breakin'
Cause this time baby I ain't takin'
Don't mess up that pretty face
Can't you see it's just too late
This time baby you went too far
I see you now for what you are
Kiss my love goodbye
I've had it with your lyin'

Kiss my love goodbye
You weren't even tryin'
You never thought about anyone else
You were just takin' care of your self
You were never mine
So kiss my love goodbye


4. HERE IT COMES

When you see me
I'm coming down the road to your back door
Sound of a gun - she stood there laughing
Like her life has no tomorrow
I watched her fade into the dark and cruel night
Something sounded like a promise
Round and round - heaven bound
Stranded in a stranger's town

Here it comes, Another heartache
Here it comes, Another fall

Girl, I want you
You've got the prime time in my morning imagination
I'll be creeping like perfumed smoke
No place for you to hide
I'm gonna shake you girl and keep you satisfied
You and me, This time forever
Feel the motion set me free
Love the things you do for me

Here it comes, Another heartache
Here it comes, Another fall

Sweet liberation, just like a woman
She can make the water wine
Jubilation, your sweet caresses
Gonna drive me outta my mind
I want to let you know just what you mean to me
You and me this time forever
Climb inside my Jaguar
All your friends call you star
Cross your fingers, make a wish
Got the stuff I can't resist

Here it comes, Another heartache
Here it comes, Another fall


5. CRYSTAL EYES

With crystal eyes she gazes
Like a desert flower
In the morning rain
She's well aware of every promise made
She's a child of light in a world of pain

Oh let her be free, Holy Zion
Give us eyes to see
Something to rely on
Crystal eyes, I still love you
You're my one desire
Crystal eyes, I can't live without your touch
You are my crystal eyes

Crystal eyes, she don't say much
But she sees right through
Your thin disguise
You'll never know she comes and goes
Slips through the veil of the dead of night

Oh let her be free, Holy Zion
Give us eyes to see
Something to rely on
Crystal eyes, I still love you
You're my one desire
Crystal eyes, I can't live without your touch
You are my crystal eyes

Crystal eyes, she's an angel
That fell to earth like a gift from God
Sweet, serene, skin like cream
My love protects your every thought

Oh let her be free, Holy Zion
Give us eyes to see
Something to rely on
Crystal eyes, I still love you
You're my one desire
Crystal eyes, I can't live without your touch
You are my crystal eyes


6. WILD OBSESSION

With your long black hair
Fallin' down your face
Red lips and lethal pout
Send me to heaven
Seein' is believin'
Baby, you're so strange
Something about you makes me sweat
When I call your name

Oh oh oh oh
Goin' nowhere
Oh oh oh oh
Gettin' further out of control
Wild Obsession - in the heat of the night
Wild Obsession - and baby you know it ain't right

She's got the sun and the moon in a velvet glove
Showers of diamonds fall from high above
She's a vicious queen
She's a little girl
I know she's a cornerstone of the underworld

Oh oh oh oh
Goin' nowhere
Oh oh oh oh
Gettin' further out of control
Wild Obsession - in the heat of the night
Wild Obsession - and we both know it ain't right

Wild Obsession - runnin' beneath the neon stars
Wild Obsession - Tearin' us all apart

Oh oh oh oh
Goin' nowhere
Oh oh oh oh
Gettin' further out of control
Wild Obsession - in the heat of the night
Wild Obsession - and we both know it ain't right

Wild Obsession
Wild Obsession - Tearin' us all apart


7. DIRTY LUV

Come on everybody I'm back in town
Gonna bring you up, gonna shake you down
Gonna set you up to another place
Gonna wipe that smile back on your face
I'm calling all the home girls in L.A.
I've got some thing good, gonna come your way
All the fine girls from old Times Square
I love your style and savour faire
Don't want your conversation
Don't want to talk about trust
I want excitation
I want your Dirty Luv
Dirty Luv
Come on little baby I love your stuff
I'd die 4 U, Can't get enough
I'm a back door lover in a limousine
I'll show you streets you've never seen
I'll do you baby
Do you good
On the trunk and on the hood
Take it faster, take it faster
Call me slave or call me master
Don't want conversation
Or the stars above
Just gimme some stimulation
and a slice of your Dirty Luv
Dirty Luv
I'm watchin' you
Dirty Luv
Oh come on baby
Come on love
My sweet baby got the stuff
Don't want your complications
Or the stars above
Just gimme some stimulation
I want a slice of your Dirty Luv
Dirty Luv
I'm watchin' you
Dirty Luv
Dirty Luv


8. MY KOO KA CHOO

When I saw you on the corner
You looked like the cover of a magazine
And I thought to myself
She's about the finest thing I've ever seen

Baby my blood was burning up
I saw your face, wanted your love
Looked in your eyes, it felt so right

My Koo Ka Choo
I am crazy for you
Girl you put a spell on me

My Koo Ka Choo
Everything you do
Going down in history

She was out here for the summer
All alone and I could tell you needed a man
She said her nights were so lonely
And I just told her that I understand

I look at you, You look at me
We can't deny, It's destiny
Always remember the summer with me

My Koo Ka Choo
I am crazy for you
Girl you put a spell on me

My Koo Ka Choo
Everything you do
Going down in history

My Koo Ka Choo
I'll tell what I'll do
Take you just a little bit higher

My Koo Ka Choo
I'm standing next to you
Baby can you feel my fire

She's a mystery
That girl's a fantasy

My Koo Ka Choo
I am crazy for you
Girl you put a spell on me

My Koo Ka Choo
Everything you do
Going down in history

My Koo Ka Choo
I'll tell what I'll do
Take you just a little bit higher

My Koo Ka Choo
I'm standing next to you
Baby can you feel my fire


9. IT'S OVER NOW

Just another night
And I'm all alone
I wonder where you are
Who you're holding

And I'm wasting time
By the telephone
It gets harder when there's no way of knowing

I always thought we'd be together someday
There was nothing that could keep me away
Coulda worked it out somehow
But it's over now
Thought you'd be comin' 'round
But it's over now

When I close my eyes
I can see your face
There was still so much to discover
All the time we shared
Can't be erased
No you're in the arms of another

I always thought we'd be together someday
There was nothing that could keep me away
Coulda worked it out somehow
But it's over now
Thought you'd be comin' 'round
But it's over now

If you broke my heart
I can't let it show
I can take the pain
I can't let you go
Some people change
I guess it had to be
Even though you're gone now
You still mean so much to me

Just another day
I'm still holdin' on
No matter how I try
I can't shake this feeling
Yeah I'm sitting here
Like nothing's wrong
I'm still lookin' for someone to believe in

I always thought we'd be together someday
There was nothing that could keep me away
Coulda worked it out somehow
But it's over now


10. SNAKE EYES BOOGIE

Fire bomb Sally shook my goose
Old one - eyed Jack cut me loose
I've dot southern moonshine in my veins
I'm gonna break that bank again
Jokers, jacks, queens of hearts
Fortune lies within these cards
Stakes are high, theres much to win
Reckless pleasure ain't a sin
So I blow the dice and make a wish
Dame luck made no promises
I roll 'em good, I roll 'em fast
This Irish luck is gonna last
They'd all like to see me dead
But I just stayed one step ahead
Three bad sixes and a four
And I'll be off this killing floor
Shake, rock and roll 'em baby
Roll those dice
Shake, rock and roll 'em baby
Snake eyes make me shake
The devil, he's a gentleman
We cut a deal in old Japan
A thousand sobs on the red
And take a bottle up to bed
The odds are good I make a break
Don't look back or hesitate
Three bad sixes and a four
And I'll be off this killing floor
Shake, rock and roll 'em baby
Roll those dice
Shake, rock and roll 'em baby
Snake eyes make me shake


11. I FOUND YOU

Somebody love me
Somebody care
Somebody hold me
When I am scared
Somebody reach out and hold my hand
Somebody somewhere must understand
I found you
You wanted me too
Somebody touch me
Somebody give
Give me a reason
I wanna live
Oh, I don't ask for much
All I want darling is a little trust
I found you
You wanted me too
I found you
You wanted me too
Somebody trust me, Somebody care
I ain't got much, girl
But I'm willing to share
Oh it's hard, this world can be so cold
We all need a little love
It's what makes us whole
I found you
You wanted me too


12. BIG HOUSE

Psychotic
Neurotic
Alcoholic
You might call me imbecilic
I'm dirty I'm so mean
Like no other you've ever seen
I'll take down the other side
A place where you can meet and hide
I'll take you down the darker way
To a game - a game that I play

And what you see is what you get
A wicked man with no regrets
I get whatever I want
You won't forget

Goin' back to the Big House
Goin' back - back inside

Pathetic, rejected, full of doom
Some people call me Mr. Gloom
I sold my soul - sold my soul
When I went down the fire hole
I'll take you down, down with me
A nice place for you to be
I'll take you down to my home
I'll leave you there to die alone

And what you see is what you get
A wicked man with no regrets
I get whatever I want
You won't forget

Goin' back to the Big House
Goin' back - back inside
Goin' back to the Big House
Goin' back inside
Goin' back to the Big House
Goin' back inside - back inside
Goin' back to the Big House
Goin' back - back inside
