Mercator's Projection
I don't want to blow this out of proportion
But I seem to have the exploded view
And just like Mercator's Projection
I'm not really over you now

You had distorted my perception
I had to change my point of view (of you now)
And now I'm free and the world seems clear to me
And the planet isn't sad 'cause it's overdue now
And I'm over you now

So much like Lucifer's rejection
Your fate is chosen when you choose
And just like Mercator's Projection
I'm not really holding you down

I'm over you

You've no more latitude to use your longitude on me now
I crossed the dateline to be true (to you now)
The Tropic of Cancer wouldn't whisper any answer only you now

So let the lovers spin on their bold axes
And let cartographers review
'Cause I've mapped your heart and that's where the desert starts
And the planet isn't sad 'cause it's over due now
That I'm over you now

So much like Lucifer's rejection
Your fate is chosen when you choose
And just like Mercator's Projection
I'm not really holding you down
I'm over you

Untitled
All the leaves have gone
All have lost their cancer
True as it may seem there's another life as well
I cannot compete in looking for an answer
I just turn up the bell
What more can I say
What more can I offer
Tried to give you all
But there's nothing I have left
Trample me to wine
And though it may be bitter please know
I did my best

And over all the time I thought I saw a vision
Nagging at my mind in a world where we'd be free
I groped in a fog embraced disgraced derision
But was alone at last
Simply ignored the past
I was alone at last

So commend my soul my body slowly burning
Give away my words to another place and time
If ever I can displace your pain with my yearning
I will wait by the cross

'Cause I want you to know there's someone who loves you
Don't believe the lie of the modern way of life
And when things go dark there's someone to hold you
But somehow I lost the cause

And when the air is warm and when the water cools you
When you see the light in a way you loved before
Then if you believe that way will you save me
Until my soul is yours
'Til then my soul is lost
'Til then my soul is yours

She Does to Me
Well she does to me
What she does to me
Yes she does to me
What she does to me

Oh she does to me
What she does to me
What she does to me
What she does to me

Yes she does to me
What she does to me
Oh she does to me
Which she does to me

Yes she does to me
She does to me
She does to me
She does to me

What she does to me
What she does
What she does

She does

Thinking
I watch you leave your house on his arm
He leads you to his big expensive car
You drive right by without a glance
Hope you have a good time and nice romance
Five years, I wasted on you

And all the suffering you put me through
Now IÕm standing here sucking exhaust
Over somebody with a heart of frost

This ainÕt the way this was meant to be
I canÕt believe this is happening to me

I know that you know that you know that I know
Why you packed up your things and decided to go
But you wonÕt find yourself in a diamond ring
What you thought was true love was a rich manÕs fling

And now your sorry that you ever left me
Whatever will be will be will be

I know you are
I know you are
Thinking of me just like I am thinking of you
I know you are
I know you are
Thinking of me just like I am thinking

Oh I loved you so
more then youÕll ever know
More then youÕll ever know
You never knew what you had
Until it is taken, taken from your hands

Frustration Song
If you ever see me laughing
Well you will know that itÕs a lie
Cause inside IÕm really crying
Like a seagull in the sky

You see there was this time in my life
Where I had this deal right in my hands
And soon the world would know about me
And my little scruffy rock and roll band

But then my dreams they blew away
So far away
I run till I canÕt breath no more
No more what for?

The lastest band just got a contract
Well lots of luck to you my friends
But you better watch out who you step on
WeÕll see you again on your descend

IÕm right IÕm wrong who knows who cares
Still isnÕt it fun?
But 25K donÕt make it today
ItÕs so far away

So when you sign onto the contract
ItÕs the beginning of the end
And you better watch out who you step on
WeÕll see you again on your descend

Tuesday
Tuesday and I'm feeling so good
I said either or and she said no just like I knew she would
On Wednesday I hope I'm feeling just so
But right now I'm so afraid Thursday will be a heavy blow

Oh I know I was ready to go
She had had her way but things just had to change
You know sometimes you can love someone too much for their own good
You've got to let them go
Because you can't explain

On Friday you were feeling so fine
So in love all night that it blew your mind
On Sunday you knew you just had to talk
'Cause the future looms
And the time gets lost

I know that she might she might let me go
But that seems to show she must not love me so
I'm not the prize
She would have been to me for all of my life

Oh God I hope she finds
On Monday she was out of her mind and she runs to me for our
Earthly time

Because it's Tuesday
And I'm a horrible wreck
I'm so deep in sorrow
This despair so black

Photograph
Just a photograph
To say that you're not living in the past
Just a photograph
To let you know the seasons changed at last

Just a photograph
That's not coming back
Just a way to make you pay
In gray and white and black

What a cruel mirage
That left me in the desert of the past
Such a cruel barrage of everything the lenses
Can't refract

Such a photograph
Can't begin to act
But it does unfreeze the pain
And make it so exact

Just a photograph

Lying in the Grass
Lying in the grass what seems like hours and hours
Watching white floss clouds float by in a blue sky
Not thinking 'bout the future
Nor disparaging the past
The summer sun is warm and so am I
And I'm not afraid of sudden showers
The buzzing bees or dozing off

I'm lying in the grass and sipping cola from the can
A bale of hay is yellow and propped behind my head
All the world is wonderful the day is not half over
And my life is young and waiting there ahead
And I'm hoping that it will be a good one
I'm waiting for the time to pass

I'm lying in the grass the sun rolls over and over
And it tumbles my thoughts 'til I can't forget
I'll keep this moment forever and I'll treasure it like gold
As soon as I have time for one short nap
I can't stay here for forever
I wonder if that's too much to ask

I'm lying in the grass

I'll Be with You
I remember the sunshine following you
My head was suddenly filled up with you
CupidÕs arrow struck me in a flash of a wink
Hearts circling my head made me stop and think
And then I realizedÉ

I would do anything you want me to do

The sky exploded on the night of the Fourth of July
We were feeling so good we were feeling so high
It seemed like it was too good to be true
Standing in the street finally holding you
And then I realizedÉ

I would do anything you want me to do

IÕll be with you now
Any time that you want me to
IÕll be with you now
Just tell me you need me too
Cause IÕll do you
Just about anything thing
You want me to do

Seize the Means of Production
What you need you need now
Where's your head anyhow
What's that dance that you do
It's your chance to play the fool

When you seize the means of production

There's a girl that I know
She's too fast or too slow
Just wants the capitalist tool
Proletarian parvenu

I want her to seize the means of production
I want her to seize the means of production

LEAD

Have we gone very far
Have we lost Eden rock
Let the party come unglued
The revolution so deep in you

Oh yes please seize the means
I want you to seize the means
Oh yes please seize the means of production

Heavy Metal Dreams
Small town just in town
Sailed on the wings of change
New mind just in time caught on the borderline

And you never will be free the way you want your world to be
'Cause you live in heaven and heavy metal dreams
In your heavy
In your heavy metal dreams

New day have your way
Will what you want will be
You're not giving up
Get all you want and see

That you'll never be brought down
Because your feet ain't touched the ground
Of the angels' halos
And heavy metal dreams
In your heavy
In your heavy metal dreams

New day have your way
Will what you want will be
You're not giving up
Live all you want and see

That your strides are eight miles long
And your brain screams out this song
And you live in heaven and heavy metal dreams
In your heavy
In your heavy metal dreams

Mother
Mama it's me waiting here
Waiting to bathe in the light
Mother don't turn me away
Don't let me slip into night
Well is it oh so wrong
I'm waiting to be alive and I'm not blaming
someone who was blind
But I want to come
And see the light
If that's what God wants

I'm waiting here
I'm waiting here
I'm waiting

Mama please don't let me go
I want you to want what is right
Mother just give me a chance
I'm waiting to dance in the light

And if you have to go
Then leave me
And I'll always know how you really loved me
And how you let it show
By letting this love grow
Into the brightest light we can know

I'm waiting to know
I'm waiting to know
I'm waiting

LEAD

Mama please don't let me go
I want you to want what is right
Mother just give me a chance
I'm waiting to dance in the light

I'm not just flesh and blood that you can cut out
I've got a soul that you should know about
And that gives me the right
I wish I could shout out
I could shout out
I could shout out loud

I'm waiting here
I'm waiting here
I'm waiting

Jimmie
Jimmie let me tell you what you said in your head
Away, so far, alone
"What's the use of candles sticking out of my eyes,
I want to be alone" But Jimmie in your head
Don't you want to break the barriers and bounds
You found another land too late to emigrate
And what was that you said?
Oh, that: "The other side will be all right.
It's only motion makes the wheeling heavens
Spend the stars it takes to shine."
But in your eyes I see the universe sit staring back at me Jimmie in a second we'll play back what you said
But first I hope you'll own
You've been sending messages above and beyond
The words that we have known But Jimmie in your head
Isn't there a single spark of life that 'lights alyrical
Despite your dreary dread
And Jimmie to my mind
You should junk the helium and heartaches for the
Even wine besides before you're dead Jimmie shows his hands and says to make his load light
He sees I'm really tired
He says that he'll be gentle as the deepest dark night
I want to be alone 'Cause Jimmie in my head
I've been running overboard to save my life
While all of time is straining at my eyes
And now the woe betides
The saddness in your smile and all the Romans in your Ides
I want to be alone
