NO ONE HAS LOVED ME THE WAY YOU DO,
AND I KNOW YOU'LL LOVE ME SO WARM AND TRUE.
I KNOW THAT YOU SEE THOSE DREAMY EYES WITHIN US ALL.
THOSE BIRDS FLY AND GET SO HIGH, AND LOVE WHEN IT FALLS.
SHE'S A NEW GIRL OF THE OLD SCENE.
SHE'S A NEW GIRL, YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN.
AND NEVER CAN I FIND THE TIME TO SPARE IN MY MIND.
THEN I LOSE ALL THAT I DID FIND.
I'M A TWO-TIME GAMBLER. I'M A TWO-TIME GAMBLER
DOING A LOT, SMOKING POT.
(SOLO)
WHEN I'M LONELY AND THE SUN DON'T SHINE,
IF IT SNOWS, THAT'LL BE FINE,
LET THE RAIN DRY UP AND DIE.
IF IT DON'T, I'LL BREAK DOWN AND CRY.
(SOLO)
I WENT TO A DANCE JUST THE OTHER NIGHT.
I SAW A GIRL LOOKING OUT OF SIGHT.
I ASKED HER OUT ON MY BENDED KNEES.
I SAID, "WILL YOU LOVE ME NOW, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE."
WHAT I SAID, WHAT I SAID,
WHAT I SAID MATTERS TO YOU.
NOTHING CAN HAPPEN IF WE...

MISS
02:42
|

|
I THINK OF YOU AND MISS YOU TOO.
THERE'S NOT A DAY THAT I CAN'T SAY I DON'T LOVE YOU,
AND ONLY YOU.
I KNOW I WON'T FORGET THE FIRST TIME THAT WE MET.
OUR EYES REALIZED OUR SOULS.
MY THOUGHTS AND MIND SO CLEAR. OUR LOVE, SO SINCERE
AND MORE.
WHISPER SOFTLY IF YOU LOVE ME,
SO MY SPIRIT WILL BE SET FREE.
I THINK OF YOU AND MISS YOU TOO.
THERE'S NOT A DAY THAT I CAN'T SAY I DON'T LOVE YOU,
AND ONLY YOU.
I SURRENDERED WHEN LOVE DEPARTED. YOU RENDERED ME BROKEN-HEARTED.
OUR EYES CRIED WHEN THERE WAS NO MORE.
OUR MEMORIES FULL OF TEARS. OUR LOVE TURNED INTO FEAR
OF WAR.
I'M JUST A FOOL IN LOVE WITH YOU.
THERE'S NOT A DAY THAT I CAN'T SAY I DON'T LOVE YOU,
AND I STILL DO.

FINGERING A PIGEON
02:29
|
|||
|
SOMEONE'S GOING TO JAIL FOR FINGERING A PIGEON
FINGERING A PIGEON, FINGERING A PIGEON.
SOMEONE'S GOING TO JAIL FOR FINGERING A PIGEON
FINGERING A PIGEON, FINGERING A PIGEON.
IT STARTED AS A LARK,
WAITING IN THE PARK,
GAMBLIN' IN THE DARK,
FEELING THAT ITCH AND,
SINKIN' IN A QUICK SAND.
NO ONE LENDS A HAND.
SOMEONE'S GOING TO JAIL FOR FINGERING A PIGEON
FINGERING A PIGEON, FINGERING A PIGEON.
SOMEONE'S GOING TO HELL FOR FINGERING A PIGEON
FINGERING A PIGEON, FINGERING A PIGEON.
LIFE CAN SOMETIMES SUCK,
MAKIN' A QUICK BUCK,
BUT RUNNIN' OUT OF LUCK.
MUST RELY ON POOL SHARKS,
COPS BEGIN TO STALK,
BECOME A TALKING NARK.
SOMEONE'S GOING TO JAIL FOR FINGERING A PIGEON
FINGERING A PIGEON, FINGERING A PIGEON.
(SOLO)
DEALING WITH THE MAN,
TRYING TO UNDERSTAND,
AS A STOOL PIGEON CAN.
TREAT YOU LIKE A SUCKER,
WORTHLESS MOTHER HUBBARD,
BECOMING HUGGER-MUGGER.
NO ONE'S GOING TO JAIL FOR FINGERING A PIGEON,
FINGERING A PIGEON, A STUPID STOOL PIGEON.
NO ONE'S GOING TO JAIL FOR FINGERING A PIGEON,
FINGERING A PIGEON. A LITTLE STOOL PIGEON.

YOU SAY YOU'VE GOT A FRIEND WHO CARES FOR YOU,
BUT SHE SAYS IT'S THE END AND YOU'RE JUST A FOOL.
YOUR LOVE YOU WISHED TO SEND WILL NOT GO THROUGH.
SHE SAYS THAT YOU CAN'T MEND A HEART IN TWO.
TWO KIDS FELL IN LOVE, LIKE NATURE INTENDS,
BUT IN LIFE, YOU CAN'T NEGLECT YOUR ONE TRUE FRIEND.
YOU SAY YOU'VE GOT A FRIEND WHO ONCE LOVED YOU,
BUT THAT TEMPER YOU CAN'T DEFEND; A GOLDEN RULE.
TREAT HER RIGHT, YOU WON'T GO WRONG. NO NEED TO PRETEND.
THEN YOU TWO WILL BELONG AS LOVING FRIENDS.

PSYCHOPATHS
02:03
|
|||
|
PSYCHOPATHS ARE PEOPLE TOO.
IF I WERE THEM, I'D SCREW ALL OF YOU.
SHOULD WE KILL THEM, WATCH THEM DIE?
SHOULD WE LISTEN TO THEIR LIES?
AREN'T THEY PEOPLE, NOT LIKE ME, AND HAVE THEM DIE AND SET THEM FREE?
(SOLO)
WHY DO YOU KISS HIM WHEN HE WILL GO?
WHY DO YOU HUG HIM WHEN HE KNOWS
THAT'S IT'S ME YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE,
AND IT'S ME YOU'RE GOING TO LOVE?
AND I'LL WAIT, PRAY FOR THAT DAY,
AND I'LL THANK THE GOD ABOVE.

CONTEMPLATE
02:32
|
|||
|
I HAVE TO CONTEMPLATE ON SOMETHING I JUST ATE;
A SONG IN MY HEAD THAT ALWAYS TURNS OUT DEAD;
A SONG IN A RHYME WHICH SEEMS TO BE OFF TIME.
I JUST CAN'T FIND MY MIND.
(DO WHAT YOU'RE DOIN', WHAT YOU'RE DOIN', WHAT YOU'RE DOIN' WITH ME.)
[REPEAT OVER AND OVER UNTIL SOLO].
LET ME GO TO THE UNKNOWN,
TO MY DEMISE. NO DISGUISE.
NO MORE YOUTH TO HIDE THE TRUTH.
LOVE IS BLIND AND SO UNKIND.
(SOLO)
WELL I KNOW THAT YOU'RE IN LOVE WITH ME,
BUT I'M IN LOVE WITH SOMEONE ELSE'S ECSTASY.

ROLLIN' AND TURNIN'
03:20

IT KEEPS ON ROLLIN' AND TURNIN' AND TURNIN' AND ROLLIN' AND ROLLIN' AND TURNIN' AND TURNIN' AND ROLLIN' AWAY. IT KEEPS ON ROLLIN' AND TURNIN' AND TURNIN' AND ROLLIN' AND ROLLIN' AND TURNIN' AND TURNIN' AND ROLLIN' AWAY.
SOMETIMES I FIND IT COMPLETELY AMAZING,
TO FIND MYSELF REJUVENATING AGAIN.
THE SUN IS HOT AND THE MOUNTAINS ARE MELTING,
BUT THE TRICK IS TO RIDE AND NOT GET CAUGHT IN THE RAIN.
IT KEEPS ON ROLLIN' AND TURNIN' AND TURNIN' AND ROLLIN' AND ROLLIN' AND TURNIN' AND TURNIN' AND ROLLIN' AGAIN. IT KEEPS ON ROLLIN' AND TURNIN' AND TURNIN' AND ROLLIN' AND ROLLIN' AND TURNIN' AND TURNIN' AND ROLLIN' AGAIN.
YOU DRIVE THE CITY LINES. YOUR MIND'S RUNNING CRAZY,
SPENDING MONEY THAT YOU NEVER HAD.
YOU HEAR THE TIRES, SEE THE MIRRORS ARE SHAKING,
BUT THE FEEL OF THE POWER IS THE NAME OF THE GAME.
IT KEEPS ON ROLLIN' AND TURNIN' AND TURNIN' AND ROLLIN' AND ROLLIN' AND TURNIN' AND TURNIN' AND ROLLIN' AWAY. IT KEEPS ON ROLLIN' AND TURNIN' AND TURNIN' AND ROLLIN' AND ROLLIN' AND TURNIN' AND TURNIN' AND ROLLIN' AWAY.
HOUNDIN' AND ROUNDIN' FOR THE PREY AT THE NEXT BEND,
LIKE A DESERT COYOTE JUST A-QUENCHIN' ITS THIRST.
YOU'VE GOT THREE STEPS ON THE SUN, CAN YOU MAKE IT?
CAN YOU GET THROUGH THE TUNNEL BEFORE IT GETS YOU FIRST?
IT KEEPS ON ROLLIN' AND TURNIN' AND TURNIN' AND ROLLIN' AND ROLLIN' AND TURNIN' AND TURNIN' AND ROLLIN' AWAY. IT KEEPS ON ROLLIN' AND TURNIN' AND TURNIN' AND ROLLIN' AND ROLLIN' AND TURNIN' AND TURNIN' AND ROLLIN' AWAY. IT KEEPS ON ROLLIN' AND TURNIN' AND TURNIN' AND ROLLIN' AND ROLLIN' AND TURNIN' AND TURNIN' AND ROLLIN' AGAIN. IT KEEPS ON ROLLIN' AND TURNIN' AND TURNIN' AND ROLLIN' AND ROLLIN' AND TURNIN' AND TURNIN' AND ROLLIN' AGAIN.

HEY GENE, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL YOUR LIFE?
WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH THE TIME?
YOU TOOK THE THINGS YOU CAN'T FIND. HEY GENE!
HEY GENE, THE NIGHTMARES YOU DREAM ARE REAL.
THE PAIN THAT YOU HAVE, WE FEEL.
YOU TAKE IN PLEASURE WHAT YOU STEAL. HEY GENE!
NOW GENE, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL THIS TIME?
WHAT HAS HAPPENED TO YOUR MIND?
CHRONIC VIOLENCE IS YOUR CRIME.
HI GENE, WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN? WAITING FOR A SAVIOR'S SIN?
CAN'T UNSEE WHAT YOU'VE SEEN, WITH BLOOD ON THE STAGE IT SEEMS.
(SOLO)
HEY GENE, WHO'D YOU KILL?
DID YOU MURDER YOUR OWN WILL,
TAKING NOTHING BUT THE THRILL? HEY GENE!
YOU STALK THE DEAD. YOU WALK THE NIGHT.
YOUR HANDS ARE RED WITH BLOOD TONIGHT.
YOU'RE ONE SICK YUCK. THAT STENCH, YOU SMELL.
YOU WISH THEM LUCK AND YOU GIVE THEM HELL. HEY GENE!

DROP TROU. DROP 'EM NOW
IN THE STORE, ON THE FLOOR,
IN THE KITCHEN. SCRATCH THAT ITCHIN';
IN THE TUB, AFTER A RUB.
DO IT NOW, I'LL SHOW YOU HOW.
NEXT TIME YOU WANNA BE WITH ME, YOU BETTER JUST DROP TROU.
DROP YOUR DRAWERS. DO IT MORE

IN THE BEDROOM WITH SOME HEAD ROOM.
ANY PLACE ON YOUR FACE,
DO IT FAST. MAKE IT LAST.
ANY TIME YOU WANNA GET WITH ME, YOU BETTER JUST DROP TROU. OW!

DROP PANTS AS YOU DANCE.
TIME FOR LOVIN' NEAR THE OVEN,

I REALLY WANT HER, CHANGED MY MIND.
THEN YOU'LL HAVE ME ALL THE TIME.
TREAT ME RIGHT, THAT'S RIGHT, THAT'S FINE.
(SOLO)
YOU BROKE MY HEART. YOU LET ME GO.
NOW I WON'T BE COMIN' 'ROUND NO MORE.
I LOST MY PRIDE THE DAY YOU CAME TO BE BY MY SIDE,
BUT TO YOU, IT'S ALL THE SAME. BYE, BYE!
I REALLY WANTED HER. THAT'S WHAT I'LL SAY.
MISS YOU BABY, EVERYDAY.
YOU'RE IN MY MIND. BE KIND. LET IT SHINE.

SHE'S REARIN' UP JUST LIKE A PUP.
YOU JUST CAN'T BEAT INCESSANT HEAT.
SHE'S REARIN' UP. SHE'S REARIN' UP.
SHE TAKES THE SLACK, RELAX THE BACK.
SHE CAN SOOTHE AND MAKE IT SMOOTH.
SHE'S REARIN' UP. SHE'S REARIN' UP. OW!
(SOLO)
SHE LICKS MY FACE ALL OVER THE PLACE.
SHE MAKES ME LAUGH WHEN I GIVE HER A BATH.
SHE LIKES TO SCRATCH, BUT I'M NO MATCH.
LOOKS LIKE A RAT, BUT SHE'S JUST MY CAT.
SHE'S REARIN' UP. SHE'S TEARIN' UP.
SHE LIKES TO PLAY EVERY DAY.
SHE'S REARIN' UP. MM, YEA, SHE'S REARIN' UP. WO!

WHEN I FALL INTO THE SUN, I CAN SEE EVERYONE,
BUT THE REASONS AREN'T TOO CLEAR. MAYBE NOT NEARBY OR NEAR.
AND THE MUSIC GOES ON.
THEN I FALL INTO A CLOUD, HEARING SCREAMS THEY SHOUT OUT LOUD.
BEFORE I DIE, I MUST SAY,
I HAVE ONLY FOR TODAY.
AND THE MUSIC GOES ON.
HEY NOW, FOLLOW ME HOME.
HEY NOW, LOOK AT ME ROAM.
HEY NOW, FOLLOW ME TO THE END OF THE EARTH.
HEY NOW, BE WITH ME.
HEY NOW, I AM FREE.
HEY NOW, FOLLOW ME WHERE THE SUN NEVER DIES,

IT'S A TREE. IT'S A SKY.
IT'S CONFUSING, I DON'T KNOW WHY.
INSPIRATION, IT'S NO USE.
CAN'T ESCAPE THIS DRUG ABUSE.
AND THE MUSIC GOES ON.
SONG, MY LOVE, KISS OF DEATH.
ENOUGH'S ENOUGH, WITH MY LAST BREATH.
AT TEN THIS YEAR, I'LL BE NO MORE,
ONLY A FORGOTTEN SORE.
AND THE MUSIC GOES ON.
HEY NOW, FOLLOW ME HOME.
HEY NOW, LOOK AT ME ROAM.
HEY NOW, FOLLOW ME TO THE END OF THE EARTH.

The Santairs Auburn, Washington
I am a musician, singer, and songwriter doing this part-time but have been doing it all my life. I started singing before I could talk at the age of one, and wrote my first real song at 15 years of age. (If you count avant-garde as a song, then the age would be 7.) I currently own my own recording studio; and I write, perform, and record my own music (and other's from time to time.) I am Santairs. ... more
