Her body was warm as we walked in through the church doors

With loaded eyes she looked in mine

Told me I was the guy. It was what a man does dream for

With eyes like pearls

She’s crying precious tears on my shoulder

After I promised her my best

She turned to our guests and blinded them with her high beams

With eyes like pearls

She’s crying precious tears as I hold her

As I thanked the preacher I heard

My new brides wheels brush the curb. She slid over and let me drive

Two miles from the church she shook like California dirt

As I slid my hand along her thighs

With eyes like pearls

She’s crying precious tears on my shoulder

With eyes like pearls

She’s crying precious tears as I hold her

As she looks into the sea with a distant longing

Her eyes like pearls

She’s crying precious tears as I hold her

Still moving well out in the open

I lower my gun and keep my questions to a minimum

While you run and run around them

Moving Targets

Are so hard to hit

But tonight I’ve got you in my sights

And I can’t miss

Moving Targets

Quick as a shooting star is

But the minute you slow down – that’s when I’ll let off a round

And I can’t miss

Wounded but not through yet

Still determined not to lose it

Such a sorry thing to prove

And it won’t save you from the truth

Moving Targets

Are so hard to hit

But tonight I’ve got you in my sights

And I can’t miss

Moving Targets

Quick as a shooting star is

But the minute you slow down – that’s when my love let off a round

And I can’t miss

You are bound to give me all you have to give

That’s my neighborhood

Hollywood, Holly North Hollywood

Girl, you got me hooked

I know you wish you could

Live in my neighborhood

Home of low and high-life crooks

So misunderstood

Not in death valley

But in the valley of death

There sits an oasis of concentrated goodness

Where i disappear and the next sound you hear

Is a melody over a vicious beat

North Hollywood, North Hollywood

That’s my neighborhood

She was taken in a Mexican raid

Girl, you got me hooked

I know you wish you could

Live in my neighborhood

First stop on the subway train

So misunderstood

There are no more secrets

After you’ve been evicted

Your story sits on abandoned couches

Politics of the kids in the low-level bounce houses

Mark the world as just a skate park

North Hollywood, North Hollywood

That’s my neighborhood

For the glamour of her sister’s fame

Her name was changed

I know you wish you could

Live in my neighborhood

Holly is just as she always was

A complicated love child

She shook the American dreamer

And she stole my heart

Emerging starlets

Dressed virgin-esque

Know the fastest way to a man’s pocket

Is on his rocket

Hot red schemes

To steal the scene in the dreams

Of the men who make the movies

North Hollywood, North Hollywood

That’s my neighborhood

She may not win your heart with just one look

But girl, you got me hooked

I know you wish you could

Live in my neighborhood

The crown jewel of saboteurs

Holly remains pure

I found a reason for magic

Quiet nights need to have it

Now I’m fresh as a daisy

Ready for your love to take me…again and again

The future was made for me

As a favor by my new girlfriend

She came to me and brought the living

And now I’m back into the swing of things

The youth carry a sense of drifitng…

Soaring, roaring like the 20′s

Time is a plaything

When a time machine is your new girlfriend

I found a reason for magic

That’s where all the smiles live

Now I’m fresh as a baby

Ever since your love saved me…from the end

I paid all my late fees. No more rented entertainment

I’m so glad you’re stayin’

21st century is 10 years old

Mystery still lurks beyond the globe

We board the train rubbing elbows

With withered beings from the fall of Rome

Time is a plaything

When a time machine is your new girlfriend

Ooh, I was on a downward slope

With no one to control the speed of my roller coaster

Love was cheaper than money

“Happiness” came at the cost of being with you

Then an angel heard me yell

She put on her bells before she fell through the gale

And brought me to my feet…she brought me to my feet

We lie in perfect position

To witness the birth of the ocean

I’m warm and next to my woman when it hits

I’m ageless as emotion

Time is a plaything

When a time machine is your new girlfriend

It’s just a world for me to stretch out in

We need more room to breathe

Inside of our designer jeans

Would love to go rushing the banks

With an oxygen tank

But there’s no movement on our own

Without a movement to push us along

Black presidents and immigrants 

And green movements and hybrid engines

Oh, baby I know we feel more comfortable

In our status symbols

And the places we hold on the totem pole

Our political views, our tattoos and our hair-doos

Don’t need no strategy

To get us out in our designer jeans

Message me on the bathroom wall

Original network social

People with nothing on their minds

Need only press a button to share online

Religion, atheism 

Mass production and consumption of opinions

Baby, I know we feel more comfortable

In our status symbols

And the places we hold on the totem pole

Our political views, our tattoos and our heirlooms

Why can’t we be who we are

Without selling it on a billboard

Sexuality, racial ID – we wear them like designer jeans

And when we lose the middle class

And we all move up from the back

Black is the new – the new white trash

The proof is written on our ass, baby

The world’s no place to raise a child
You’ve been dropped into the wild
You’re here now and the clock is winding down. Let me show you how to work your way Through the crowd

It’s a mysterious hustle
You got to figure out this hustle
To overcome the place where you come from

It’s a mysterious hustle
Born in the middle of a puzzle
Just a step in front of fire breathing dragons

The world’s a blur of twisting limbs
why the hurry with so much in front of them?
The old man, he makes no such attempts
Creeping slowly – chasing the golden dim of the nights behind him

It’s a mysterious hustle
Born in the middle of a struggle
A 100 yard sprint – from the beginning and from the end

It’s a mysterious hustle
…Sociopathic bubblebath
It’s no place to raise a child

It’s a race to the bottom of the pile
Where all the junkies collide and bend
In a field of equal-sized tents
Entertaining lies in small print
Where you’ll find what was said
And what was really meant

(background vocal):
Stay close to me

(lead vocal):
Now, I’m faced with the very real task of saving you
But, the best thing I’ll ever do is protect you
Remember: they’re all lonely
Even though they’re cheek to cheek
(spoken):
If you follow the beaten path it will keep you tied to the past
And you’ll live and die with the anguish of never getting it back

These are the rules – and they are always changing

(Stay close to me)

As hard as this life is it could be just the playoffs
Some people put their lives in the hands of God..
Bet on yourself – just in case your life is in the hands of the odds

Cross Dresser
I was just a fool in love…
And sparked a counter culture
Donned the make-up after the break up

Cross Dresser
Wanted to disguise the hurt…
Wound up blending gender
But I got to know her better
Through her high heels and her skirts

I can’t re-invent those magic moments
But I can make believe
Like the babies who dress up as ghosts on Halloween “Drag Queen,…” they ask me, “is it for shock or comedy?…
Or, are you expressing your sexual preference?”

Cross Dresser

I was just a fool in love…

And sparked a counter culture

Now I’m covered in wigs and motives

Cross Dresser
Maybe I can be a woman saint…
She’ll kneel to me and pray
I’ll reveal to her that her true healer is a Cross Dresser

Notre separation me rend triste, mais je suis heureux de t’avoir connu et d’avoir pu apprecier ton elegance

Notre amour n’eut-il d’autre fin que de me sauvegarder de l’horrible mode actuelle

Give ‘em what they want and all they want is more
No matter what you say it all falls short
You asked me to be here so i’m here…but i had to get high
Just to stand by your side

Another young boy calls
A legend in the making
You put all your thoughts on the ones you can’t believe in

Give ‘em what they want and all they want is more
I guess it’s TOO hard to taste when i’m SOOO close and i’m so warm
You asked me to come over and bring you back to life
While i’m dying on the inside

So i’ll say what you wanna hear
But for me there are no promises here

I’m standing under the falls
Washing all but the secrets i can live with
I won’t wash them off – nor the kisses i dream you do give

Give ‘em what they want and all they want is more
Read between the lines and you’ll miss the point
You asked me to be here so i swallowed my pride
Now i’m Violet on the inside

Watching you go crazy is driving me insane I hope you don’t think I’m lazy Baby, I’m working overtime Watching you go crazy is making me lose my mind

I went to my priest to ask the church for relief He said they had bigger problems to address than me I pressed my luck – asked for a cup of Jesus’ blood ‘Cause it tastes just like grape juice He said, “Go home, funny man. Enjoy while you can, ’cause we’re coming to save you.”

Baby, let my music drive you mad
Let it be your punching bag
On delicate feet let’s move out to the margins Let’s corral a garden full of life for our cells

My sweet lil’ thang made of candy cane
I hope you can hear this
If not, you’re more prepared for his return than those so-called believers For now you should rest – One day we’ll make baby foxes
Those of us short on loot are short on friends and lovers, too

We have no dollar bills to pay our water bill But we’re still sexy; and who are they?
They are much less attractive when the money is subtracted Hey
