I HAVE FOUND A WAY
TO LOVE YOU EVERY DAY.
NOW ALL I DO IS CRY
WHEN YOU'RE NOT BY MY SIDE.
I STAY AWAKE SO LONG
WRITING TO YOU IN SONGS.
WISHING YOU'D GIVE A REPLY
BEFORE I RUN AND HIDE.
WITHIN A SONG, I LOVE YOU.
MY FANTASIES CAN COME TRUE.
WHERE'S MY REALITY IF YOU'RE NOT HERE WITH ME
IN MY DREAMS?
(SOLO)
THE LAST THING THAT I WILL DO
IS LIVE MY LIFE FOR YOU.
WITH EVERY BREATH, I SAY
I LOVE YOU IN EVERY WAY.
WITHIN A SONG, I LOVE YOU (IT'S TRUE)
MY FANTASIES WILL COME TRUE.
WHERE'S THE KEY TO MY REALITY?
IN MY DREAMS?

OUT OF THE SKY
02:40
|
|||
|
OUT OF THE SKY IT CAME FROM,
TO TAKE OVER OUR REALITIES,
TRANSFORMED INTO OUR LIVES,
FROM OUT THE SKY.
THE CHILDREN PLAYED. THE PEOPLE PRAYED,
BUT THEY ALL WERE CONFUSED BY THIS OBJECT FROM THE SUN,
TELLING NOTHING BUT LIES.
(SOLO)
THE TIME HAS COME. WE ALL MUST RUN
BACK IN THE CAVES, WHERE WE'LL ALL BE SAVED.
ANGELS OR SPIES FROM OUT OF THE SKY.

ABUSE
02:55
|

I FOUND OUT THE VERY HARD WAY,
CONTEMPLATING WHAT TO SAY,
IN A PRISON, WITHOUT SOUND AROUND.
I CAN'T HEAR A WORD YOU SAY.
ALONE IN DARKNESS, DAY BY DAY.
TORTURED IN ALL MY DREAMS IT SEEMS.
HELP ME FATHER. HELP ME MOTHER.
WE CAN LIVE TO LOVE ANOTHER.
I'VE BEEN THROUGH TOO MUCH GRIEF TO LIVE.
STOP THIS HURTIN'. STOP THIS PAIN.
WE MUST LIVE TOGETHER AGAIN.
LET US TRY ONE MORE TIME TO GIVE.
WHAT I SAY DOESN'T MATTER.
LIFE IS JUST NOT GETTING BETTER.
I CAN'T SEE NOR BELIEVE I'M FREE.
ALL I FEEL ARE MY TEARS,
DRYING UP WITH THE YEARS.
WISHING I COULD RISE ABOVE WITH LOVE.
HELP ME SISTERS. HELP ME BROTHERS.
WE CAN HOLD ONTO EACH OTHER.
PLEASE LET US BE OURSELVES ONCE MORE.
IF WE CAN'T FIND A WAY TO CEASE,
NEVER WILL WE REST IN PEACE.
ALL WE ARE FIGHTING FOR IS WAR.
(SOLO)
NOW I'M TIRED, OLD AND GONE.
DEAD IS WHERE I BELONG.
ONE MORE THING I WILL SAY,
EVER MORE I SHALL PRAY FOR YOU.

LOVELY WOMAN

WHY ARE YOU SO LONELY?
YOU CAN STAY WITH ME.
HAND TO HAND TOGETHER
WE SHALL BE.
LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT.
DREAMS CAN ALL COME TRUE.
LOVE AND HOLD EACH OTHER,
ME AND YOU.
LOVELY WOMAN, WHAT DID I DO WRONG?
WE CAN DO IT BABY, ALL NIGHT LONG.
YOU AND ME, ME AND YOU,
LOVE CAN BE SO TRUE.
(SOLO)
LIFE IS WHAT YOU MAKE IT.
DREAMS CAN ALL COME TRUE.
LOVE AND HOLD EACH OTHER,
ME AND YOU.
LOVELY WOMAN, WHAT DID I DO WRONG?
WE CAN DO IT SUGAR, ALL NIGHT LONG.
YOU AND ME, ME AND YOU,
LOVE CAN BE SO TRUE. WO!

WE WEREN'T MEANT TO BE
02:18
|

|
FOUR YEARS AGO, I FELL IN LOVE
WITH A GIRL FROM IN MY DREAMS.
SHE TOOK MY HEART AND RIPPED IT APART.
OUR LOVE WASN'T MEANT TO BE.
BUT YESTERDAY NIGHT, I SAW HER AGAIN,
STANDING BY THE LONESOME STREAM.
I TRIED TO RUN AWAY BUT MY HEART JUST SAID NO.
OUR LOVE WASN'T MEANT TO BE.
I TRIED AND TRIED BUT SHE LEFT ME NO PRIDE,
AND STUCK THIS OLD HEARTACHE ON ME.
SHE MADE ME CRY FROM DEEP DOWN INSIDE,
AND I KNEW WE WEREN'T MEANT TO BE.
(SOLO)
I SAW HER TODAY WALKING UP BY THE DRIVE
AND ASKED IF SHE STILL CARED FOR ME;
BUT SHE SAID GOODBYE, COMPLETELY SATISFIED,
KNOWING WE WERE NEVER MEANT TO BE,
KNOWING WE WERE NEVER MEANT TO BE.

FAT, FAT, THE FATTA PUSSY CAT. FAT, FAT, THE FATTA PUSSY CAT.

DON'T MEAN NO DISRESPECT
02:03
|
|||
|
I DON'T MEAN NO DISRESPECT,
BUT YOU CAUSED ME SO MUCH HECK.
WHAT ON EARTH AM I HERE FOR?
ALL I WANT'S A LITTLE MORE.
I DON'T MEAN TO CAUSE YOU PAIN,
TIME AND TIME AND TIME AGAIN.
PLEASE ACCEPT MY APOLOGIES,
'CAUSE YOU MEAN SO MUCH TO ME.
WHY DO I WANT TO TELL YOU
THAT YOU'RE THE ONLY GIRL FOR ME?
EVERY TIME I AM WITHOUT YOU,
I'M AS LONELY AS CAN BE.
I DON'T MEAN TO CAUSE YOU HEARTACHE.
THERE'S NOTHING ELSE I CAN MAKE.
I'VE SAID THESE WORDS IN TIMES BEFORE,
BUT YOU DON'T LOVE ME ANYMORE. WO!
(SOLO)
I DON'T MEAN TO CAUSE YOU SORROW.
IT'S JUST A WAY OF LOVING YOU.
MY HEART IS OLD AND HALLOW.
WHAT ON EARTH AM I TO DO?
I DON'T MEAN NO DISRESPECT,
BUT MY LIFE IS SUCH A WRECK.
IF IT'S WRONG TO LOVE YOU TRUE,
I'LL STILL GO ON LOVING YOU.

THE DEVIL'S WITCH
04:18
|
|||
|
I TRIED TO LIVE AND I TRIED TO DIE,
BUT I DON'T HAVE THE WILL.
I RAN TO THE END WITH THE DEVIL'S FRIEND,
AND I'M GOIN' FOR THE KILL.
WHY DO I FEEL THAT MY LIFE'S UNREAL
IN THIS SICKLY PLACE?
I FEEL IT WELL WHEN I'M IN HELL,
SHAMING IN DISGRACE.
I MAKE HER MOAN
WHEN I STICK MY THRONE.
WHEN SHE MOVES AROUND, I RIP IT.
SHE MOVES ME WHEN SHE'S ON MY KNEE,
AND I SHOVE IT IN.
SHE EATS MY SPICE, TASTES VERY NICE,
THE ULTIMATE SIN.
I SAY HEY CHICK, WHAT IS THIS TRICK?
YOU'RE THE DEVIL'S WITCH,
BUT I KNOW THE FACT, WHEN YOU'RE ON YOUR BACK,
THAT YOU'RE JUST A BITCH.
I MAKE HER GROAN,
LOVING STONED.
I WHIP HER LIFE AND SHE LIKES IT.

TOO MUCH TO DRINK
02:35
|
|||
|
I WALKED INTO A BAR, WANTING TO GO FAR.
I PAID THE PRICE OF LUST AND SIN.
I WENT UP TO HER PLACE, SHAMED HER IN DISGRACE.
CAN YOU REALLY KNOW WHERE WE'VE BEEN?
WE TALKED A LITTLE MORE, SOMEWHERE HALF PAST FOUR.
I JUST WANTED LOVE AND COMPANY.
I TRIED TO HOLD HER TIGHT IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT.
SHE TRIED TO COVER UP FROM ME.
SHE WAS A LITTLE CHILD. I WAS A LITTLE WILD.
I HAD TOO MUCH TO DRINK, I THINK.
I WAS TWENTY-FOUR. SHE WAS BUT A SCORE.
NO MORE THAN THE LEGAL AGE OF YEARS.
I'VE BEEN UP AND DOWN, ALL AROUND THIS TOWN,
LIVING CHILDHOOD OF TEARS.
(SOLO)
I TIRED TO TELL HER HEY, IT'S GONNA BE OKAY.
LIFE IS JUST ALIKE A GAME.
WITH MANY DIFFERENT FACES AT MANY DIFFERENT PLACES,
PEOPLE WITHOUT A NAME.
SHE WAS A LITTLE CHILD. I WAS A LITTLE WILD.
I HAD TOO MUCH TO DRINK, I STINK.
I SAID TO HER, "GOOD-BYE. WIPE AWAY YOUR CRIES.
LOVE GETS IN THE WAY OF LUST."
I THOUGHT SHE WAS A BORE, BUT I THINK THAT NO MORE,
GIVING HER ALL OF MY THRUST.

VOID
04:35
|

|
I LOOK AT A WALL. THERE'S NOTHIN' AT ALL, NOTHIN' MORE I CAN FIND.
THAT WHICH I SEE IS HELD WITHIN ME; A PROJECTION OF MIND.
AND I CAN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND.
I TRIED IT BEFORE. I DON'T WANT ANYMORE OF THIS LAND.
I STARTED TO LIVE. I WANTED TO GIVE, BUT I CAN'T SEE THE LIGHT.
I STOPPED AT A DOOR AND FELL TO THE FLOOR. THIS JUST CANNOT BE RIGHT.
BUT I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU'RE TELLIN' ME, OH MAN.
YOU LIVE IN THIS PLACE, A DRUG FILLED DISGRACE.
I KNOW I SAW THE START OF IT ALL, YET SOON IT MUST END.
WE SEEM TO DIE WITH LIES IN OUR EYES. WE JUST CAN'T PRETEND,
'CAUSE I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHEN YOU GIVE ME A HAND.
I CANNOT TRULY BE WHAT I BE.
(SOLO)
I DREAM OF A DREAM THAT I STARTED TO DREAM, LETTIN' GO OF MY HATE.
I DRIFT TO THE SKY, FLYIN' SO HIGH TO CONTEMPLATE.
YET I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY I LIVE ON THIS SAND.
WE CALL THIS EARTH, A PLACE OF OUR BIRTH.
THE BIRDS OF A SONG TELLS ME I'M WRONG. I SHOULD NOT THINK SO BAD.
THEY TELL OF THE GOOD JUST LIKE IT WOULD, IF THIS WASN'T SO SAD.
FOR I DON'T UNDERSTAND LIFE ISN'T SO GRAND,
BUT I KNOW WHAT IT'S FOR; TO OPEN NEW DOORS.
OUR LIVES ARE IN DANGER, INVADED BY STRANGERS, BUT THERE IS A NEW HOPE.
HOLD YOUR HEAD HIGH AND LET IT FLY BY. YOU'LL BE ABLE TO COPE.
AND I DO UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU UNDERSTAND.
BORN TO A JOY, DIE IN A VOID.

IMAGES I SEE OF YOU AND ME,
EVERYTHING SO CLEAR; EVERYTHING SINCERE,

IMAGES OF YOU, WHAT CAN I DO?
THE THOUGHTS I HAVE SHARED, I THOUGHT YOU CARED,
STILL I LOVE YOU.
OH MY LOVE. ALL I WANT IS YOU.
NOW YOU’VE GONE, MY IMAGES ARE THROUGH.
IMAGES I HAD WEREN’T SO BAD.
MY IMAGES HAVE DIED AND I CRIED.

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
