AS I'M WALKIN' DOWN THE STREET, JUST LOVIN' YOU LIKE YOU WERE LOVIN' ME,
YOUR VOICE CAME SOFT AND SWEET. MY POUNDIN' HEART JUST LOSES CONTROL
AS I WAKE UP FROM MY SLEEP, TO FIND YOUR LOVE SO WARM AND TRUE.
I CAN'T FORGET YOUR KISS, CAUSE YOU NEVER KISSED THAT WAY BEFORE.
AND I JUST HAD TO TELL YOU, ONLY TIME WOULD TELL.
'CAUSE AS LONG AS WE'VE BEEN TOGETHER, LOVE'S KEPT US DOIN' SO WELL.
THE TENDERNESS ON YOUR FACE; I'LL TAKE TO WAR ON SOME FOREIGN LAND.
THOSE IMAGES I WILL TAKE OF YOUR HAIR SO WET FROM THE FALLIN' RAIN.
AND I JUST HAD TO TELL YOU, ONLY TIME WOULD TELL.
'CAUSE AS LONG AS WE'VE BEEN TOGETHER, LOVE'S BEEN DOIN' SO WELL.
I KNOW I'LL COME BACK THIS WAY. FOR JUST HOW LONG, I CANNOT SAY.
IF DESTINY PAVES THE WAY, IT'LL BE FOREVER AGAIN SOMEDAY.
IT'LL BE FOREVER AGAIN SOMEDAY, IT'LL BE FOREVER AND AGAIN SOMEDAY.

LONG DISTANCE BEWARE, TAKE CARE! BEWARE!
TIME HAS NOT COME FOR YOU TO RUN, FOR YOU TO RUN.
OLD MEMORIES FROM THE PAST, I SEE AT LAST.
THE MESSAGE I SEE IS ALL GONE, CAN'T GO ON.
OH, AH, OH!
YES I KNOW, I'VE BEEN TOLD, YOUR LOVE'S SO COLD.
YES I KNOW, I'VE BEEN TOLD, YOUR LOVE'S SO COLD.
(SOLO)
LOVE ME, LOVING YOU, LOVING ME.
LOVE, LOVE I SEE.

HEATHER-MARIE, YOU'RE SUCH A LOVELY GIRL I SEE,
LIVING LIFE SO EFFORTLESSLY,
LITTLE HEATHER-MARIE.
YOU WILL GROW SO VERY, VERY BEAUTIFUL.
THAT'S WHAT I KNOW, AND I WANT YOU TO
BE THE BEST OF YOU.
YOU'RE JUST A CHILD WITH TRUSTING EYES,
LOVING ALL YOU DO.
THERE'S NO REASON WHY YOU SHOULD CRY.
NO NEED TO WORRY, NO REASON TO HIDE FROM YOU.
HEATHER-MARIE, YOU'RE SUCH A VISION OF LOVELY,
THAT'S WHAT I SEE. WHEREVER YOU GO,
THAT'S WHAT I WANT YOU TO KNOW.
(SOLO)
BUT I KNOW WHEN YOU GET OLDER,
YOU'LL GO ON YOUR WAY.
BUT 'TIL THEN, JUST KNOW WHAT'S RIGHT.
JUST HOLD ON TIGHT EVERY NIGHT AND DAY.
HEATHER-MARIE, WHEN YOU GET OLDER YOU WILL SEE
ANOTHER VERSION OF YOU IN TIME,
YOU WILL ALWAYS BE FINE.
YOU WILL ALWAYS BE KIND.
YOU, IN ALL WAYS, REFINED.

OVER HILLS, OVER DALES, OUR LOVE WILL NEVER FAIL,
AND I LOVE YOU SO, AND I WANT YOU MORE.
OVER HERE, OVER THERE, OUR LOVE WAS ALWAYS FAIR,
BUT I TREATED YOU WRONG AND YOU HAD TO GO.
I WANT AND I NEED A GIRL THAT I CAN PLEASE.
YES, I WANT YOU GIRL AND YOU KNOW IT'S TRUE.
IF YOU GO I WILL KNOW THAT I'LL NEED YOU EVEN MORE.
YES, I LOVE YOU GIRL AND NO ON ELSE BUT YOU, NO, NO. OH HO.
WITH A LOVE THAT'S SAD AND BLUE,
I CRY AS I THINK OF YOU.
AND NOW WE BROKE UP, IT'S ALL TOO BAD,
THAT YOU AND I WERE THE BEST WE EVER HAD.
(SOLO)
UP AND DOWN, ALL AROUND, I CAN HEAR THE SAME OLE SOUND
OF YOUR SWEET, YOUNG VOICE THAT I'LL NEVER FORGET.
OVER THERE, EVERYWHERE, IS THE LOVE I WANT TO SHARE,
AND OUR LOVE WAS GOOD AS TO HAVE NO REGRETS, OH HO! MM!
WITH A LOVE THAT'S OLD AND GONE,
I WONDER WHAT WENT WRONG.
AND NOW IT'S OVER, WHAT CAN WE DO?
THE ONLY GIRL I EVER LOVED WAS YOU.
OVER HILLS, OVER DALES, OUR LOVE WILL EVER FAIL.
YES, I FEEL SO BAD, STILL I WANT YOU SO.
OVER HERE, OVER THERE, OUR LOVE WAS ALWAYS FAIR,
BUT I TREATED YOU WRONG, NOW YOU'LL HAVE TO GO. OH HO! OH HO!

IT'S ALL RIGHT NOW
08:04
|

|
ALL I WANT ARE THE THINGS I DON'T HAVE THAT I SEE.
AND I KNOW THAT LOVE HAS ITS POWER OVER ME.
IF YOU THINK OF TIME AS A BEING IN PAIN,
THEN YOU'LL KNOW THAT LIVING IS A TOOL MADE IN VAIN.
WHEN YOU CHALLENGE YOURSELF TO BE FREE IN PEACE,
THEN THE PEOPLE WILL SEE THAT ALL LIFE BEGINS TO CEASE.
I SAY IT'S ALL RIGHT NOW. YOU'RE ALL RIGHT NOW TO ME.
DON'T LET THEM TELL YOU THEIR LIES THAT THEY SEE.
YOU SAY IT'S ALL RIGHT NOW, COME ON BACK WHERE YOU BELONG.
YOU SAY IT'S ALL RIGHT NOW, WHEN I KNOW NOW IT'S ALL WRONG. OO!
YOU SENT OUR GOD TO THE EVIL, TO THE DEATH OF HIS GRAVE.
WE SAY THAT LOVE IS A FACTOR TO BE SAVED.
DON'T INTERFERE WITH MY LIFE OR I'LL KILL YOU WITHOUT HATE.
THEN I'LL SHARE MY THOUGHTS TO A GIRL THAT IS LATE.
YOU SAY IT'S ALL RIGHT NOW, COME ON BACK WHERE YOU BELONG.
YOU SAY IT'S ALL RIGHT NOW, WHEN I KNOW NOW IT'S ALL WRONG. HEY!
(SOLO)
YOU SAY YOU LOVE ME YET DESPISE ME FOR WHAT I AM.
YOU SAY IT'S ALL RIGHT NOW WHEN YOU KNOW NOW JUST WHO I AM.
I TREASURE THE PASSION THAT I FEEL IN MY MIND.
MY EXISTENCE IS BURIED IN A PLACE I CAN'T FIND.
(SOLO/BREAK)
MY MESSAGE TO YOU IS IN HERE, IN MY HEAD.
IT'S ALL IN THE BRAIN OF OUR HEARTS THAT IS DEAD.
YES, I KNOW THAT LOVE HAS TWO MEANINGS TO ME.
THAT'S ALL I'VE BEEN SAYING: THAT LOVE IS SO FREE. AH!
IT'S ALL RIGHT NOW BABY. OO! IT'S ALL RIGHT NOW MAMA.
DON'T YOU CRY NOW BABY! OO!

YESTERDAY I CAME TO HARLON TOWN AGAIN.
HOW LONG CAN I SLEEP? HOW LONG HAS IT BEEN?
TORTURING MY SOUL, NOWHERE TO GO
FOREVER MORE.
RAIN HITS THE GROUND, A WAR HAS GROWN.
PEOPLE RUN AND HIDE, DYING ON THEIR OWN.
WEARY IS MY LIFE. NOTHING HERE TO KNOW
FOREVER MORE.
WHEN I KNOW THE WORLD HAS DIED,
MEMORIES WILL CEASE. NOTHING MORE TO CRY.
IT'S SUCH A TEASE.
YESTERDAY I DIED IN HARLON TOWN AGAIN.
I WAS RAPED AND KILLED, LIVING IN SIN.
I HAVE LOST MY LIFE. NOTHING MORE TO SHOW
FOREVER MORE.
(SOLO)
YESTERDAY I DIED IN HARLON TOWN AGAIN.
I WAS RAPED AND KILLED, LIVING IN SIN.
I HAVE LOST MY LIFE. NOTHING MORE TO SHOW

THE MURDERING MAN

|
YOU TRAVEL AROUND, LOST BUT NEVER FOUND.
YOU ARE A MANIAC UNDER THE ATTACK.
LOVE DOESN'T EXIST. KILL WHO YOU DON'T NEED.
YOU ARE BEYOND THE CRUEL. YOU DESPISE A FOOL.
IS IT A SIN TO BE A SINNER,
TREATING PEOPLE LIKE A GAME?
LIFE AND DEATH HAS NO MEANING TO YOU.
TO YOU ALL IT IS IS ALL THE SAME.
YOU'RE THE MURDERING MAN. YOU DESTROY ALL YOU CAN.
DESPITE HOW YOU FEEL, YOU ENJOY THE KILL.
(SOLO)
IT IS A SIN TO BE A SINNER,
ON THE PROWL WITHOUT A NAME.
YOU ARE THE MURDERING MAN.
LIFE AND DEATH TO YOU IS ALL THE SAME.
MURDERING MAN. THE MURDERING MAN. YOU'RE THE MURDERING MAN

THAT WHICH IS INSIDE OF THAT BRAIN,
EMPTY OF THOUGHT, COMPLETELY INSANE.
A CRITIC ONCE SAID, MUST CRITICIZE,
BUT WHO GIVES A DAMN WHEN YOU PUT UP A FIGHT?
AND I CAN'T STOP BEING WHO I AM FOR SOMEONE ELSE.
THAT WHICH IS INSIDE THAT HEAD,
DON'T KNOW WHAT'S RIGHT, A TROLL INSTEAD.
GIVING NOTHING IN REALITY,
TAKING YOUR PRIDE FOR A FEE.
AND I CAN'T STOP BEING WHO I AM FOR SOMEONE ELSE.
ONLY A FOOL CAN UNDERSTAND.
DON'T GIVE YOUR MONEY FOR ANOTHER SCAM.
THAT WHICH IS IS A LIFE IN VAIN,
MAKING CASH FROM PEOPLE'S PAIN.
JUST LIKE YOUR WORDS, WORTHLESS IN TRUTH,
STEALING TALENT FROM THE UNHEARD YOUTH.
AND I CAN'T STOP BEING WHO I AM FOR SOMEONE ELSE.
(SOLO)
COLD-BLOODED IN REALITY;
CRUCIFIED ALL MINDLESSLY.
THAT WHICH IS INSIDE OF THE BRAIN,
EMPTY AND VOID, COMPLETELY INSANE.
A CRITIC ONCE SAID, I MUST CRITICIZE,
BUT WHO GIVES A SHIT WHEN YOU PUT UP A FIGHT?
AND I CAN'T STOP BEING WHO I AM FOR SOMEBODY ELSE.

THE WAY THIS WHOLE THING STARTED WAS WHEN THIS MAN HAD LIED.
HE KNEW HE MUST DIE.
WAY BEFORE THE TIMES OF ANGER AND DESPAIR,
BILLY JOE MCQUIRE DIDN'T CARE.
BILLY JOE MCQUIRE, BILLY JOE MCQUIRE, BILLY JOE MCQUIRE DIED.
HE SMOKED AND DRANK HIMSELF INTO AN EARLY GRAVE.
HE KNEW HIS SOUL WON'T BE SAVED.
HE WAS JUST A FOOL WITH A GUN AT HIS HEAD.
HE KNEW HE WANTED TO BE DEAD.
BILLY JOE MCQUIRE, BILLY JOE MCQUIRE, BILLY JOE MCQUIRE DIED.
ONE DAY HE TRIED TO RUN AND HE TRIED TO HIDE.
BILLY JOE MCQUIRE HAD TO DIE.
HE RAPED AND KILLED THE PEOPLE IN OUR LIVES.
I'M THE ONE WHO HUNG HIM OUT TO DRY.
BILLY JOE MCQUIRE, BILLY JOE MCQUIRE, BILLY JOE MCQUIRE HAD DIED.
WHEN IT WAS ALL OVER, WE LAUGHED AND WE CRIED.
I FRAMED BILLY JOE TO DIE.
BUT WHAT WAS LEARNED FROM DEATH AND THIS PAIN?
IN REVENGE, THERE'S NOTHING TO BE GAINED.
BILLY JOE MCQUIRE, BILLY JOE MCQUIRE, BILLY JOE MCQUIRE HAD DIED.

WOMEN CAN'T FIND WHAT THEY CAN'T FIND.
MEN CAN FIND IT FOR THEM.
WOMEN DON'T FIGHT WHAT THEY CAN'T FIGHT.
MEN CAN FIGHT IT FOR THEM,
AND THAT'S WHY...
WOMEN DON'T YELL WHAT THEY DON'T YELL.
WHY DON'T MEN RESOLVE THIS?
WOMEN DON'T LOVE WHO THEY CAN'T LOVE.
MEN WILL LOVE THEM FOR THIS,
AND THAT'S WHY I WONDER WHY.
WOMEN ARE THE SAVIORS OF THIS WORLD.
WITHOUT THEM, WHAT ELSE WOULD WE BE?
THE MEN WILL CRY FROM LONELINESS.
THE MEN WILL DIE, YOU WILL SEE!
(SOLO)
WOMEN CAN'T FIND WHAT THEY CAN'T FIND.
MEN CAN FIND IT FOR THEM.
WOMEN DON'T FIGHT WHAT THEY CAN'T FIGHT.
MEN WILL FIGHT IT FOR THEM,
AND THAT'S WHY WE NEVER CRY.

AND WHEN HE SAID HE SINNED AGAINST US,
DID HE NOT KNOW THAT HE LIED TO HIMSELF?
IT DOESN'T MATTER IF WE EVER FORGIVE HIM.
IT'S UP TO HIM TO BE THE WAY HE IS.
WHEN HE WAS BORN, DID GOD EXIST,
OR DID HE MAKE HIS OWN ILLUSIONS?
HE MIGHT HAVE FOOLED EVERYONE IN A CHURCH.
AND IF HE DID, ARE WE NOT EQUAL TO HIM?
AND I KNOW (AND I KNOW), AND I TRY TO FIND A WAY
TO FORGIVE (TO FORGIVE) THE SINS THAT WE MADE UP TODAY.
ARE WE TOO HARSH TO SAY HE'S EVIL,
OR IS IT RIGHT TO JUDGE MORALITY?
AND FROM THE SIN CAME THE TRUTH OF LIGHT;
MESSAGE OF HOPE WILL STILL REMAIN ALIVE.
AND I KNOW (AND I KNOW), AND I TRY TO FIND A WAY
TO FORGIVE (TO FORGIVE) THE SINS THAT WE MADE UP TODAY.
AND I SEE (AND I SEE), AND I FEEL THE PAIN INSIDE.
AND IT'S LIKE (AND IT'S LIKE) TO LIVE A LIFE AS A LIE,
TO KEEP THE TRUTH AND HIDE.

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
