Voodoo Chocolates (box 1)
tore
I had a pass
to the gates of pleasure
a golden ticket
to a luminous treasure
I tore it up
in a million pieces
because it’s not enough
the need never ceases
I tore it up
far from believing
because it’s not enough
not really what I needed
in my chair
on a crashing train
a window seat
to a failing brain
I tore it up
in a million pieces
because it’s not enough
the need never ceases
I threw it out
in a million ways
because it’s not enough
to ease my pain
a phoenix mind
burning to the ground
midnight moonlight
streaming through the sound
from the ashes
a teardrop splashes
on the banks
of dreamworld mountain
I tore it up
I tore it up
a connecting thread
but it wouldn’t break
leaving me for dead
I tore it up
in a million pieces
it keeps coming back
coming back to me
like nothing ever happened
like nothing ever happened
(I tore it up)
like nothing ever happened
(I tore it up)
like nothing ever happened
I tore it up
(like nothing ever happened)
I tore it up
I tore it up
I tore it up
carmelina
inside your head
there are places
where things are said
without traces
inside your brain
there are shadows
where things are dark
Carmelina
you don’t have to be afraid
Carmelina
you don’t have to turn away
be strong
hold on
to everything
stand tall
speak up
yell and sing
come out
show off
your wedding ring
Carmelina
beneath your bed
there are demons
who con the dead
into believing
beneath the clouds
where your dreams sleep
in the dark
Carmelina
I will be here by your side
Carmelina
you can look into my eyes
Carmelina
you don’t have to be afraid
Carmelina
you don’t have to turn away
be strong
hold on
to everything
stand tall
speak up
yell and sing
come out
show off
your wedding ring
Carmelina
pretending
she’s pretending
sexy saboteur
our love is ending
like we never were
she tore my heart in two
like a pearl from the shell
red faced to black and blue
leaving me to burn
forever in this hell
she’s pretending
sexy saboteur
our love is ending
like we never were
she’s pretending
with all her sex appeal
condescending
this is so unreal
she cut my dreams apart
with the scissors in her mind
scratched her signature upon my broken heart
leaving me to choke
on this poison wine
she’s pretending
sexy saboteur
our love is ending
like we never were
she’s pretending
with all her sex appeal
condescending
this is so unreal
Lost in You
your pretty head against my shoulder
I brush your hair back from your brilliant eyes
I pull you to me closer than a dream
but you’re the one who always carries me
Lost in you
I found myself
Lost in you
we’re connected by a thread of trust
come together in a storm of must
you could pull me anywhere you like
I would hold you for an endless night
Lost in you
I found myself
Lost in you
I found myself
Lost in you
Lost in you
I found myself
Lost in you
I found myself
Lost in you
Deeper
I feel what you feel
but I fear it’s not real at all
you are an impulse
I am the sum of your parts
you can touch me
can move me when you want
your desire
on a wire to my heart
deeper and deeper together
hold on
hold on forever and then
higher and higher together
hold up your hands to the sky above
I go where you go
I see what you show to me
you are a fiction
I spill the ink on the page
you can touch me
can move me when you want
your desire
on a wire to my heart
deeper and deeper together
hold on
hold on forever and then
higher and higher together
hold up your hands to the sky above
deeper, deeper
hold on, hold on
deeper, deeper
higher, higher
deeper and deeper together
hold on
hold on forever and then
higher and higher together
hold up your hands to the sky above
Anything That You Could Ever Ask For
I feel what you feel
but I fear it’s not real at all
you are an impulse
I am the sum of your parts
you can touch me
can move me when you want
your desire
on a wire to my heart
deeper and deeper together
hold on
hold on forever and then
higher and higher together
hold up your hands to the sky above
I go where you go
I see what you show to me
you are a fiction
I spill the ink on the page
you can touch me
can move me when you want
your desire
on a wire to my heart
deeper and deeper together
hold on
hold on forever and then
higher and higher together
hold up your hands to the sky above
deeper, deeper
hold on, hold on
deeper, deeper
higher, higher
deeper and deeper together
hold on
hold on forever and then
higher and higher together
hold up your hands to the sky above
Thought Garden
how could anyone ever sleep
in such gorgeous dream?
under the shade of the trees
in your thought garden
dropping into the fog
that hovers in your mind
next to the riverside
in your thought garden
taking you by the hand
kissing you on the cheek
under the camphor tree
in your thought garden
walking along the flower bed
in your head
walking upon the cobble stone
but you’re not alone
how could anyone ever leave
such a gorgeous dream?
the firebush always bloom
in your thought garden
Institution
arrogance and nonsense
on a party platter
makes me want to stand up
and find a way to scatter
I am but a victim
of easy thought control
all my sweat and effort
digs a deeper hole
oh oh oh
revolution
oh oh oh
set me free
oh oh oh
institution
oh oh oh
where I'll be
you can call me Lazarus
call me talking dead
too big for my britches
but not my swollen head
I am but a footnote
in an afterthought
mangled in the pages of a
novel juggernaut
oh oh oh
revolution
oh oh oh
set me free
oh oh oh
institution
oh oh oh
where I'll be
sunlight missing
vipor hissing
revolution on a roll
I’m a fighter lunging
dagger plunging
I will scissor kick your soul
oh oh oh
revolution
oh oh oh
set me free
oh oh oh
institution
oh oh oh
where I'll be
Travel in Your Mind
if you want to waste some time
there is something you can try
it doesn’t cost a dime
you can travel in your mind
anything you want to see
anyone you want to be
close your eyes and go to sleep
open your mind and start to dream
you can travel in your mind
travel in your mind
never know what you will find
you can leave the world behind
all the things you never say
you can see how it would play
all the people that you hate
watch them disintegrate
any song you want to sing
any bell you want to ring
off the cliff you want to dive
to make you feel like you're alive
you can travel in your mind
travel in your mind
never know what you will find
you can leave the world behind
travel in your mind
if you want to spend some time
there is something you could buy
it would cost a pretty dime
but you could travel in your mind
you can travel in your mind
travel in your mind
never know what you will find
you can leave the world behind
travel in your mind
