11) As Above So Below

Track One – Never Gonna Be Your Baby

I wipe my face every morning

Wet thoughts of you in my bed

No one can know my obsession

And the dreams that spin in my head

It smells of crime

It smacks of sin

I lose a little more each time I give in

But I'm never gonna be your baby

Only heaven knows the reasons why

And you're never gonna know the way I feel

To need you

To want you

All Over

Your body's my secret chapel

I pray to you everyday

No one can hear my confession

Or take this burden away

My heart's a hole

Under my skin

I lose a little each time you reach in

But I'm never gonna be your baby

Only heaven knows the reasons why

And you're never gonna know the way I feel

To need you

To want you

All over

Oh my baby

And you're never gonna know the way I feel

To need you

To want you

All over

The boundaries blur

The lines get thin

Don't even know where you end and I begin

But I'm never gonna be your baby

Only heaven knows the reasons why

And you're never gonna know the way I feel

To need you

To want you

All over

Never gonna be your baby

Only heaven knows the reasons why

And you're never gonna know the way I feel

To need you

To want you

To need you

To want you

To need you

To want you

To need you

To want you

To need you

To want you

To need you

To want you

To need you

To want you

To need you

To want you

To need you

To want you

To need you

To want you

Track Two – 90 Miles

The guitar he could not find a purpose for

Only pieces of wood, he muttered

Break it up and float it to a distant shore

To pursue his own good

The raft is floating 90 miles

Then freedom comes

Its coming closer to 90 miles

Then freedom comes

The brave new world evokes a reverie

That falls apart at the seems

Shatters

With the crashing waves there comes a memory

He escapes for his dreams

The raft is floating 90 miles

Then freedom comes

Its coming closer to 90 miles

Then freedom comes

Then freedom comes

Its coming close

Then freedom comes

Its coming soon

Let freedom come

Its coming closer to 90 miles

Will freedom come?

Its been 23 days and 90 miles

Will freedom come?

Will freedom come?

Its coming close

Its coming soon

Its been 23 days

Its been 23 days and 90 miles

Will freedom come?

Must be coming close

Must be coming soon

God knows

Its been 23 days in oblivion

Track Three – Broken

You've got that

"I'm oughta here" look in your eyes

You thought that you could handle my jagged edges

You're playing with matches

but you're afraid of fire

then something catches and you run away

you should have known there's always a prize to pay

Can't get fixed

Until you're broken

Can't get fixed

Until you're down and out and choking on your spit

And your tears

And the words that hurt you most of all been spoken

Til you're broken

Like I'm broken

Hey mister (white kid gloves)?? so high in my day

Don't tell me you're sweet dreams are never dark and dirty

You're slumming it big time

On my side of town

so you can brag just like you're Hemingway

But now the cracks all showing the light of day

Can't get fixed

Until you're broken

Can't get fixed

Until you're down and out and choking on your spit

And your tears

And the words that hurt you most of all been spoken

Til you're broken

Like I'm broken

Can't get fixed

You were flying high on your ego cloud

With a diamond stuck to your paper crown

What a drag it is to come crashing down

Can't get fixed

Until you're broken

Can't get fixed

Until you're down and out and choking on your spit

And your tears

And the words that hurt you most of all been spoken

Til you're broken

Like I'm broken

Broken

Can't get fixed

Track Four – Planet Love

And I rise like a Venus from the bottom of the ocean

Sit in the quiet

Go to that space

Within is without

Enter the region

Where time has no meaning

Come join it with me

Where everything's sacred

Nothing unsolved

Why are you waiting?

Just try it

Don't deny it

This is my body

This is my home

This is my space

This is my zone

This is my country

This is my world

This is my planet

Planet Love

When are you going

To save my earth

Like a white blood cell

I want to show you

Where I give birth

Reveal the secret

How can I serve you?

So you can win

Why are you hiding?

Just try it

Don't deny it

This is my body

This is my home

This is my space

This is my zone

This is my country

This is my world

This is my planet

Planet Love

There's nothing I love

And I'll do

And I wanna heal ya

And I rise like a Venus from the bottom of the ocean

This is my country

This is my world

This is my planet

This is my body

This is my home

This is my space

This is my zone

This is my country

This is my world

This is my planet

Planet Love

Planet Love

Planet Love

Planet Love

Track Five – Tommy Introduction

Track Six – Tommy

Seven sisters cross the sky

Swirl of beauty

Mystifies

Breathing in the galaxi

Simple devotion

The sunset the ocean

Freak of nature

Force of life

Tommy

Lay it on right here

Right here

Where the sea and the sky collide

Tommy

Allow me

To be near

You

You were born under the sea

Going liquid

Just like me

Left to swim

In your reflection

Simple devotion

The sunset

The ocean

Sweet surrender

Wanna be your wife

Tommy

Right here

Where the sea and the sky collide

Tommy

Allow me

To be near

Tommy

Lay it on right here

That there's a God in heaven

Riptides pull the world around

From the silent

Solid ground

You were all the hint I need

Lay it on right here

Lay it on right here

Etc.

Tommy

Allow me

To be near

You

Tommy

Lay it on right here

Right here

Where the yin and yang collide

Tommy

Allow me

to be near

You

Track Seven – Beautiful Thing

I'm still growing

But I changed directions so many times

Moving sideways like a twisted up vine

I've watched the years change

All that is around me

Sun and the wind swept all of it away

But I'm still thankful for each and everyday

The rain always seems to come just at the right time

Feed my roots

So I can see the sky again

All that I need is the earth that I stand on

Try to keep my feet planted that way

I'm just happy to be here another day

It’s a beautiful thing

And don't try to change it

It’s a beautiful thing

And everything is cool

It’s a beautiful thing

I know its sounds old, but

If it ain't broke

Don't mess with a beautiful thing

There's people who'd die for you

And some who just don't care

We're all in the middle

With our own cross to bear

I wanna let you know how it is with me

I look you in the eye and hear myself say

I wouldn't wanna be any other way

It’s a beautiful thing

And don't try to change it

It’s a beautiful thing

And everything is cool

It’s a beautiful thing

I know its sounds old, but

If it ain't broke

Don't mess with a beautiful thing

Don't mess with me

Don't mess with me

Don't look no better then to mess with a beautiful thing

There's on reason why we can't

Live in a perfect world

It’s a beautiful thing

And don't try to change it

It’s a beautiful thing

And everything is cool

It’s a beautiful thing

I know its sounds old, but

If it ain't broke

Don't try to fix it

It’s a beautiful thing

And don't try to change it

It’s a beautiful thing

And everything is cool

It’s a beautiful thing

I know its sounds old, but

If it ain't broke

Don't try to fix it

If it ain't broke

Don't try to fix it

If it ain't broke

Don't mess with the beautiful things

Track Eight – Life Isn’t Fair

Can't you

Let go?

I know you mean well

But its time you know

Time to give me my wings

I want to find my dreams

As selfish as it seems

Cause I don't belong

To any person place or anything

And you can tell me I'm wrong

In your closed reality

There's no place left for me

I know that it's not fair

But when I die

I will die with my pride

Taking my chances

On the voice from inside

And when I get there

There better not be one thing

That I haven't tried

You want love

And be free

To face the danger

Face it graciously

I know the world can be cruel

And make you feel a fool

I'll share the pain with you

I know that it's not fair

Life isn't fair

But when I die

I will die with my pride

Taking my chances

On the voice from inside

And when I get there

There better not be one thing

That I haven't

Tried

God how I've tried

To be what you have wanted me to be

Cry

Please don't you cry

I'm still the same girl

Hold me and you'll see

Maybe all that we need

Is time to let it be

For now or make believe

I know that it's not fair

Life isn't fair

But when I die

I will die with my pride

Taking my chances

On a voice from inside

And when I get there

There better not be one thing

That I haven't tried

And baby

Baby

When I get there

I need to know

I got to know

One thing

That I haven't lied

Track Nine – Reanimater

Look what you've done to me

I didn't think anyone could touch me this way

You breathed life into my dead heart

What was left for vultures is alive again

You never let me down

You resuscitate me

Reanimate me

Saving my love that died

You’re my stimulator

Reanimater

When the rain pours down

And is sucked into the ground

That's what you do for me

I'm growing like a flower in the

Garden of Eden

You never let me down

You’re my stimulator

Reanimater

Saving my love that died

You defibulate me

Reanimate me

Only the loveless die

The flame goes out and the cold survives

I've been touched by your divinity

You're my savior

I'm alive

And I'll never die

You never let me down

You’re my stimulator

Reanimater

Saving my love that died

You resuscitate me

Reanimate me

Reanimater

Reanimate

Reanimater

Reanimate

You never let me down

You're my stimulator

Reanimater

Saving my love that died

You resuscitate me

Reanimate me

I'll never die

You never let my down

Track Ten – Squeal

Back door on Saturday

And all I wanna is to hear you play

I catch your eye from across the floor

Hanging around by the backstage door

Is Johnny ready ready?

Is Johnny ready ready?

I wanna know

I wanna know

Is Johnny ready ready?

Is Johnny ready ready?

I wanna hear you go

Squeal

Show me the way that you feel

I wanna make you reveal

How you get to heaven

Maybe to you it's just a game

Cause I hang around in the pouring down rain

Its cold outside and I wanna say

Unzip my skin and come on in

Is Johnny ready ready?

Is Johnny ready ready?

I wanna know

I wanna know

Is Johnny ready ready?

Is Johnny ready ready?

I wanna hear you go

Squeal

Show me the way that you feel

I wanna make you reveal

All the ways you get to heaven

Squeal

Show me your dream and its real

Hold me until you reveal

How you get to heaven

Don't you know that I wanna feel you?

That I wanna heal ya?

I wanna steal ya

Away

Don't you know that I'll reveal ya?

I wanna be near ya

I wanna hear ya

Hear ya

Squeal

Squeal

Show me the way that you feel

I wanna make you reveal

All the ways you get to heaven

Squeal

Show me your dream and its real

Hold me until you reveal

How you get to

How you get to

Heaven

Squeal

Show me the way that you feel

Track Eleven – As Above So Below

I'm gonna do business in the midnight

I'm gonna do business in the midnight

I don't go

With the flow

Take me to that place I know

Underground is my home

Sometimes I live there

It's where I go

When the sky's

Indigo

There I have my fun

As above

So below

But I don't do business with the sun

I'm gonna do a dance in the midnight

I'm gonna do a dance in the firelight

I'm gonna do a dance with the midnight

I'm gonna do a dance in the firelight

I'm gonna raise up my arms and call to the night

I'm gonna make it

I'm going to make it

All right

I'm gonna howl at the moon

And worship the sea

I'm gonna give up my soul and let it all be

But when horizon comes light all my work is done

Cause I don't do business with the sun

I'm gonna do a dance in the midnight

I'm gonna do a dance with the firelight

I'm gonna do a dance in the midnight

I'm gonna do a dance in the firelight

I'm gonna tear off my body and fly in the air

Cause I don't care

I don't care

I don't care

I don't care

I don't care

I don't care

I don't care

I don't care

I don't care

I don't care

I don't care

I don't care

I don't care

I'm gonna do a dance in the midnight

I'm gonna do a dance in the firelight

I'm gonna do a dance with the midnight

I'm gonna do a dance with the firelight

I'm gonna do a dance in the midnight

I'm gonna do a dance in the firelight

I'm gonna do business in the midnight

Gonna do a dance

I'm gonna do business in the midnight

I'm gonna do a dance

I'm gonna do business in the midnight

But I don't do business with the sun

I'm gonna do business in the midnight

Gonna do a dance

Gonna do a dance

I'm gonna do business in the midnight

But I don't do business with the sun

I'm gonna do business in the midnight

But I don't do business with the sun

Track Twelve – Souvenirs

Someone's knocking on my door

Garbage trucks don’t come around no more

Lets get out now

Want to play?

Meet you at the window

On the fire escape

Tear away

Scale the ladder

Take me down below

Underground

Where the raindrops go

Come along for a ride

Souvenirs from the ghetto

Welcome to the high life

Souvenirs from the ghetto

Of my mind

Picking up the pieces that you'll find

Taking in the sounds and the smells and sight for sore eyes

Peel the chips from off the wall

Walls so thin

Your breath is like a wrecking ball

Tear away

Scale the ladder

Rummage through the mound

Underground

Where the raindrops go

Come along for a ride

Souvenirs from the ghetto

Welcome to the high life

Souvenirs from the ghetto

Of my mind

Come along for a ride

Souvenirs from the ghetto

Welcome to the high life

Souvenirs from the ghetto

Of my mind

Come along for a ride

Souvenirs from the ghetto

Welcome to the high life

Souvenirs from the ghetto

My mind

Come along for a ride

Souvenirs from the ghetto

Welcome to the high life

Souvenirs from the ghetto

My mind

Come along for a ride

Souvenirs from the ghetto

Welcome to the high life

Souvenirs from the ghetto

Of my mind

Track Thirteen – Superstar

Superstar

Superstar

Superstar

Superstar

Superstar

I laid my eyes on you

Didn't know when you would see me through

Tomorrow

Sometimes you fade away

So many clouds have passed and I still see you there

Shining

A diamond thorn in my eye

You gleam so hard it makes me cry

And yet you're so far away

Hey there superstar

Wherever you are you

Shine your light on me

Set my heart free

Hey there superstar

You rise up above me and

Shine so bright on me

Open my heart

I thought you'd slipped away

Burning a hole through the sky way you said you would find

You're love

I lose my hope in you

That all those wishes upon you I made

Never fade

Who do you think you are?

Leaving traces of stardust

When you’re so far away

Hey there superstar

Wherever you are you

Shine your light on me

Set my heart free

Hey there superstar

You rise up above me and

Shine so bright on me

Open my heart

Keep open my heart

Wide open my heart

Superstar

Super-Duper-Star

Who do you think you are?

Leaving traces of stardust

When you’re so far

Hey there superstar

Wherever you are you

Shine your light on me

Set my heart free

Hey there superstar

You rise up above me and

Shine so bright on me

Open my

Hey there superstar

Wherever you are you

Shine your light on me

Set my heart free

Hey there superstar

You rise up above me and (Shine your light on me)

Shine so bright on me (hey there superstar)

Open my heart (set my heart free)

Hey there superstar

Wherever you are you (who do you think you are?)

Shine your light on me

Set my heart free (Open my heart)

Hey there superstar

You rise up above me and (Keep open my heart)

Shine so bright on me

Open my heart (keep open my heart)
