Worlds of thoughts and endless space and sometimes even underground.
Helpless in the human race and hopeless when the sun goes down.
If you give me your love, if you give me it all,
I promise the world I could make it.
But one thing I know, if you leave me alone I'm stoned.
All around temptation calling to me, calls me by my name.
Darling tasting your sweet apple's more temptating than cocaine.
Repeat Chorus.
People all around me seem to love to get my on my thing.
Oh, but darling you could save me, take me home I'll be your king.
Bullet From A Gun (Vie, Z'Nuff)
Today, I'm cruising hard as a crazy bastard.
No play would make my life a complete disaster.
One day, to rule the world without a master.
Far away, I'm catching up, car is cruising faster.
'Cause I've got no time for love,
'Cause I'm always on the run.
I'm a bullet from a gun.
Okay, I've got no job but I'm always working.
All day, I'm on the run, wheels always turning.
Hallways is where I sleep while my engine's cooling.
Backstage is where my beat is always burning.
Repeat Chorus.
Life is just a plan to get all that you can and no one understands.
Repeat First Verse.
'Cause I've got no time for love,
'Cause I'm always on the run.
I've got no time for love.
'Cause I'm always on the run.
I'm a bullet from a gun.
I'm a bullet from a gun.
OKAY, TODAY, FAR AWAY
Are you coming with me or not?
Mr. Jones (Vie, Parent)
Huh, heh, heh…
The fun is gone and I'm lonely again.
I've work at nine and it's quarter to ten.
I feel my heart put to the test,
I see my life, I've made a mess.
But miles and miles of lines are left to follow.
Wonder what or where I'll be tomorrow.
Don't ask me how I got this way,
I see it growing every day.
Mr. Jones is in command now.
Everything I do is not up to me.
Mr. Jones is who I am now,
Don't let him get to you, he's taken over me.
Tears and sweat join and run down my face.
Terror striking all over the place.
And all the ones I've loved so much,
Have gone away, they're out of touch.
But still there's miles of lines left to follow.
Take me through the light if there's tomorrow.
My eyes are red, they turn to blue.
And it's too bad to be true.
My Dear Dream (Donnie Vie)
Hold on, don't throw yourself away, honey nothing's forever.
Hold on, don't blow yourself away, honey nothing's forever.
Looking for love where there is no emotion, and where do we go from here?
Looking for air at the floor of the ocean, an ocean of lonely tears.
Ooh, another time, another place, my dear dream.
Well I just got back from a run and I'm feeling all right.
Well there ain't much time 'til I get that chill, gotta make it through the night.
I stand up, I sit down. In my sides I start to drown.
And there is only one thing on my mind.
I hit up, I get down. There's a new sensation that I've found.
I hit up, I get down. There's a new sensation going 'round.
Looking for love where there is no emotion, and where do we go from here?
Looking for air at the floor of the ocean, an ocean of lonely tears.
Ooh, another time, another place, my dear dream.
Life Is Strange (Donnie Vie)
I can't hold my space if I can't hold my gun.
And I ain't got no face if I ain't got no one.
My eyes are getting tired of staring at the world.
I'm always getting wired, am I a boy or girl?
Life is strange, it fries my brain. It fries my brain, yeah life is strange.
Life is strange, it fries my brain. It fries my brain, yeah life is strange.
Oh, I ain't got the time, a place to settle down.
Every time I try, some problems come around.
I don't like to wait, and so I never will.
There's something on my plate, so I don't have to kill.
Without Your Love (Vie, Z'Nuff)
It's four in the morning and I ain't been to sleep.
My heart's beating restless, my thoughts are running deep.
I've been trying to call you, cried to your machine.
And I can't get no answer and I know what that means.
You say that I don't love you, you know that that's a lie.
I'm always thinking of you, you know that I would die…
Without lour love.
Oh I don't want to lose your love, no, no.
I'm finding it harder to please you each day.
You say you won't care now if I went away.
And I hope you don't mean it, and I pray it's a phase.
I've heard it, I've seen it, you girls and your ways.
I try to talk about it, but all we do is yell.
There ain't no way around it, I'm living here in hell…
Repeat Chorus.
I'm falling to pieces, oh it's taken so long.
How do you expect to build a puzzle baby when so many pieces are gone?
See me on the rebound, I'll catch you on the fly.
Ain't gonna be no other, you know that I would die…
We're All Alright (Vie, Z'Nuff)
From a little red limousine to a sizeable subway car.
Like a picture in a magazine to a painting in a local bar.
And every hill has a little clue, can tell you so many different things.
Take the heart of the things we do and try to hold what the future brings.
It's all alright. We're all alright.
It's all alright. We're all alright.
In the park by the kiddy rides, the papers hollerin' show and tell,
Although the top running down the sides was a flavor you could not smell.
In every holy little house of prayer of the colorful refugee,
And by the color tone of your hair you can create who you want to be.
Repeat Chorus.
The solution is a puzzle piece, doesn't fit to the part at hand.
Can determine what becomes of these but cannot start 'til we understand.
The information on the subway wall is all the reference you'll ever need.
You can relax 'til you've got the ball, then run 'til your tennies bleed.
It's Too Late (Vie, Z'Nuff)
Your hand is shaking by the sweet candle light.
As the sugar comes to boil, if you don't spill you've got it right now.
Pull back the trigger, draw enough for your run.
There's a hole that screams your name and now you've got to get it on, now.
She brings you comfort and she makes you feel good,
But she never answers questions that you've ever understood, no.
Just let your mind go and your body will come.
But be sure that come tomorrow you know where to get you some, boy.
It's too late, now you've gotta get straight.
Can you hold yourself together when your blood holds your fate?
It's too late, now you've gotta get straight.
This is something that you've started for the end you can't wait.
It's too late. Oh, it's too late. Oh, it's too late. Ooh, it's too late
What used to be a kick or something for fun,
Now is making your decisions and it's seldom the right one, and
Pull back the trigger, draw enough for your run.
There's a hole that screams your name and now we've get it on, boy.
If I Can't Have You (Vie, Z'Nuff)
I want you beside me. I want you to be with me everyday.
'Cause what would I do, oh if I can't have you?
I want you to guide me, helping me see the light of day.
'Cause I'll be sad and blue, oh if I can't have you.
(If I can't have you)
I'll be your daddy honey, I'll be your little boy.
I'll give you all my money, I'll give you all my joy.
And when your days are sunny, those days I won't destroy.
Ooh baby I'm giving, I'm giving. Giving, I'm giving, I'm giving it all to you.
Everything. Hoping you feel like giving it too.
'Cause I'll be sad and blue, oh if I can't have you.
(If I can't have you)
You get me so excited, you make it so unreal.
No matter how I fight it, that's just the way I feel.
Don't take your love and hide it, don't stop a spinning wheel.
Ooh baby I'm giving I'm giving…ALLLLLLLLLL.
You are everything. Hoping you feel like giving it too.
'Cause I'll be sad and blue, oh if I can't have,
What would I do, oh yeah,
What would I do if I can't have you?
(If I can't have you)
Has Jesus Closed His Eyes (Vie, Z'Nuff)
Has Jesus closed His eyes?…
Now everything's gone wrong. You know it's sad but true.
If nothing comes along, there ain't nothing we can do.
The world we used to know is now a memory.
The only things that grow are cries for sympathy.
Holding out our hands for the reasons why.
Could it be that nobody feels the blame?
Oh, how can so many try to make a better world and it stays the same?
Has Jesus closed His eyes on His once loved family?
Do angels in the skies bring pain and misery?
Soon will come the rain, it'll wash us all away.
Has Jesus closed His eyes on the world today?
I hear my mother speak of when she was a child.
We didn't have the freaks and things weren't quite as wild.
But now she prays a lot from watching her TV,
So glad for what she's got while seeing how it can be.
Little starving lives hold a certain fate,
Maybe could survive for another day.
On five dollars a week, your telly makes you give so you feel okay.
Repeat Chorus.
So hoping you enjoy just what life brings to you,
Oh, and try not to destroy the hearts you know are true.
Try to keep in mind that we all are one.
Right down to through line we'll be all the same.
Black and white, who cares what it's done?
It's just a waste of time playing color games.
Repeat Chorus.
Has Jesus closed His eyes? Sisters and brothers.
Has Jesus closed His eyes? He don't see no colors.
Has Jesus closed His eyes? You've got to look out for one another.
Has Jesus closed His eyes on the world today?
Style (Vie, Z'Nuff)
The sound of music ringing in my ears. Ringing loud and strong for twenty years.
If I would not have heard it long ago, the sound of music I would never know.
All the way, style must change.
Everybody wants to dress in black. Some try to bring the devil back.Repeat Chorus twice.
Little children getting hooked on ways. Making life impossible for later days.
Killing for some rocks stuffed in a tube. There's got to be some better things to do.
My Heroin (Vie, Z'Nuff)
Why does everybody dig the pain? It feels good, real good.
Why is everybody now insane? Cocaine, so lame.
It's a sin, you can't win. Heroin.
You can't win, the shape you're in. My heroin.
Where's the joy unless you feel the pain? Insane, no gain.
It's a choice that you don't have to choose. One hit, you lose.
It's a sin, the shape you're in. Heroin.
You can't win, it's a sin. My heroin.
There's a road that we all roam. It's the only road we know.
How Am I Supposed To Write A Love Song? (Vie, Z'Nuff, Parent)
We're all out of time. This will never do.
Love's been so unkind. Look what I go through.
How am I supposed to come on to you every night,
When you don't even want to hold me, when you do it don't feel right.
After all you've said and done, how am I supposed to write a love song?
What goes through your head? All the things you say.
If our love is dead, tell me why you stay.
Repeat Chorus.
How am I supposed to write a love song?
Try to figure out just what am I to do?
Feel my baby, why's my head so full of doubt,
And my heart so full of you?
Repeat Chorus.
How am I supposed to write you love songs?
How am I supposed to write you love songs?
How am I supposed to write you love songs?
It's gonna be a long day…
Did you get any of that on tape?
