It’s me, it’s me, you’ve come to take
My duality awakes
By midnight time I could not see
If I were you or you were me

We play the game with skillful hands
And so I asked for your demands
Give me your love, give me your thumb
And you traced us back to where we’d begun

So the morning came
And swept the night away
As I was looking for
A way to disappear
Amongst the quiet things
And all these empty streets
I found a way, I found a way
To reappear

I’ll follow you
Where you go
Yes, I’ll be there
Just so you know
I need your condolence
And your trust
But I won’t ask,
Won’t ask for much

There’s a heavy load upon our backs
Of things we carry from the past
My guilt-filled mind, it tried to run
But you traced us back to where we’d begun

So the morning came
And swept the night away
As I was looking for
A way to disappear
Amongst the quiet things
And all these empty streets
I found a way, I found a way
To reappear

I’ll follow you
Where you go
Yes, I’ll be there
Just so you know
I need your condolence
And your trust
But I won’t ask
Won’t ask for much

I’ll only ask for so much
No, I won’t ask, won’t ask for much

So the morning came
Swept the night away
I found a way
I found a way
To reappear

Working all week, 9 to 5, for my money

Rolling down the street, I saw this girl and she was pumping
I wink my eye, she got in my ride went to the club, it was jumping
Introduced myself as Dogg and she said you’re a liar
I said I got it going on baby doll and I’m on fire
I took her to the hotel, she said you’re the king
I said be my queen, if you know what I mean
And let us do the wild thing
Wild thing, wild thing, wild thing, wild thing
Please baby, baby, please
Shopping at the mall, looking for some gear to buy
I saw this girl, she rocked my world
And I had to adjust my fly
She looked at me and smiled
And said, you have plans for tonight
I said, hopefully if things go well,
I’ll be with you tonight
So we journey to her house, one thing led to another
I key the door, we go hit the floor
I looked up and it was her mother
I didn’t know what to say, I was hanging by a string
She said, hey you 2, I was once like you
And I like to do the wild thing
Wild thing, wild thing, wild thing, wild thing
She love to do the wild thing, wild thing
Please baby, baby, please
… in effect, hanging out is always hype
And when me and my crew leave the shit ding
I want a girl who’s just my type
I saw this lustious little freak, I ain’t lying fellows, she was fine
This … gave me a kiss and I knew that she was mine
I took her to my limousine, that was still parked outside
I tipped the chauffeur, when it was over
I gave her my own ride
Couldn’t get her off my check, he was like static clean
But that’s what happens when bodies start slapping
From doing the wild thing
Wild thing
She love to do the wild thing, wild thing
Please baby, baby, please
Wild thing
She wanna do the wild thing, wild thing, wild thing
Wild thing
She wanna do the wild thing, wild thing, wild thing
Wild thing, wild thing, wild thing, wild thing
She wanna do the wild thing, wild thing, wild thing
Please baby, baby, please
Wild thing
Say what? You love me, you must be kidding
You walking baby, just break out of here
Asta la vista baby, I’m not paying for nothing
Especially not no cucu

Well, it’s a New Year, with it comes more than new fears.
Met a young man who was in tears,
he asked me, “What induces us to stay here?”
I said, “I don’t know much and I’m not lying,
but I think you just have to keep on trying.”

And I know I am naive, but if anything
That’s what’s going to save me
That’s what’s going to save me

Took a stroll around the neighborhood,
where the trees are swaying.
People passed in cars with their windows down,
with a pop song playing.
A man walked by, walking back and forth the street,
with a drunken smile to go along
He stopped to look at me and said,
“Child, don’t fear doing things wrong.”

Yet I am still afraid, but if anything
That’s what’s going to save me
That’s what’s going to save me

Now I have a lot to learn and I’m starting tonight,
got to stop looking at things like they’re black and they’re white.
Got to write more songs, love a little more, treat my friends better.
Got to stop worrying about everything to the letter.
And sometimes when it’s too hard to get on,
it just might be you that I’ll call upon.

But I find it hard to believe,
but if anything that’s what’s going to save me
That’s what’s going to save me

Tell me, tell me
Oh, what’s going to save me?

If I can’t be beautiful,
I’d rather just die.

So self obsessed with my mascara and mistakes
Vanities like a funeral, and everyone’s at my wake.
Before I run out of air, there’s more make-up to apply
All eyes stare into valium coloured skies.

Chorus:
I got a sweet tooth, and strawberry youth,
you wanna be my licorice and misguided youth.
And right now, I’ll show you how I’m a beauty killer.

Rhinestone my eyes closed and please fix my hair.
This concealer can’t hide all my pink nightmares
Before i run out of air, there’s more make-up to apply
Doll eyes stare into valium coloured skies.

I almost died, but it felt great
Faking perfection wasn’t worth the wait.
I may be easy, easy to hate
But you’re so fucking easy,
Easy to break.

Chorus

I almost died, but it felt great.
Faking perfection wasn’t worth the wait.
I may be easy, easy to hate
But you’re so fucking easy,
Easy to break.

Tell me your secrets,
And i’ll tell you my lies.
Everything is monotone in my dead eyes.
If i can’t be beautiful, I’d rather just die.
I’m a beauty killer.

Gorgeous killer.
Hot pink killer.
Fierce killer.
I’m a beauty killer.

I’ll fucking kill you.

Chorus:
Hold your head as high as you can,
I love to see you…
For life sometimes is cold and cruel
Baby, no one else will tell you,
So remember that you are
You are black gold, black gold
You are black gold!

Now maybe none else has ever told you so
But you’re golden, baby, black with a diamond soul
Think of all the strength you have in you
From the blood you carry within you
Ain’t your man, powerful man
Build us up civilization?

There’ll be folks… putting you down
Don’t get burn, don’t get burn!
Oh, not necessarily everyone will know your world, no, no
Think of all the strength you have in you
From the blood you carry within you
Ain’t your man, powerful man
Build us up civilization?
Think of all the strength you have in you
From the blood you carry within you
Ain’t your man, powerful man
Build us up civilization?

Chorus:
Hold your head as high as you can,
I love to see you…
For life sometimes is cold and cruel
Baby, no one else will tell you,
So remember that you are
You are black gold, black gold
You are black gold!

Think of all the strength you have in you
From the blood you carry within you
Ain’t your man, powerful man
Build us a civilization!
Think of all the strength you have in you
From the blood you carry within you
Ain’t your man, powerful man
Build us a civilization!

Chorus:
Hold your head as high as you can,
I love to see you…
For life sometimes is cold and cruel
Baby, no one else will tell you,
So remember that you are
You are black gold, black gold
You are black gold!
You are black gold, black gold
You are black gold!
You are black gold, black gold
You are black gold!

Skies are crying, I am watching
Catching teardrops in my hands
Only silence, as its ending, like we never had a chance.
Do you have to make me feel like there’s nothing left of me?

Chorus:
You can take everything i have
You can break everything i am
Like I’m made of glass
Like I’m made of paper
And go on and try to tear me down
But i will be rising from the ground
Like a skyscraper, like a skyscraper.

As the smoke clears
I awaken and untangle you from me
Would it make you feel better to watch me while i bleed
All my windows still are broken but i’m standing on my feet.

Chorus

Go run run run, I’m gonna stay right here
Watch you disappear, yeah
Go run run run, yeah, it’s a long way down
But I’m closer to the clouds up here

Chorus

Like a skyscraper x 3

Ooh turn you on
Why are we still here remind me
You think well have more fun here not likely
So many places that we couldn’t be
I see you face when I see my back seat
Now your dimples got me smiling

Laughing while we’re driving
The time is now arriving
Pull over to the side and ooh
Turn you on

I wanna know wanna know what turns you on

touch me (touch me)

i wanna feel you on my body
put your hands on me
come on and love me
you wanna get it boy
i’ll give it to the count of three
hold me closer
don’t wanna take it slow
i wanna go somewhere where we can be alone

every move that i could make
how much more that i can take

i want love to roll me over slowly
stick a knife inside me and twist it all around
i want love to, grab my fingers gently
slam them in the door way, put my face into the ground
i want love to, murder my own mother and
take her off to somewhere, like hell or up above
and i want love to, change my friends to enemies, change my friends to enemies
show me how it’s all my fault

no i won’t let love disrupt, corrupt or interrupt me
i won’t let love disrupt, corrupt or interrupt me
yeah i won’t let love disrupt, corrupt or interrupt me
anymore

i want love to walk right up and bite me
grab a hold of me and fight me, leave me dying on the ground
and i want love to, spit … opening, cover up my ears and never let me hear a sound
i want love to forget that you offended me,
or how you had defended me when everybody taught me down
and i want love to, change my friends to enemies, change my friends to enemies
show me how it’s all my fault

no i won’t let love disrupt, corrupt or interrupt me
i won’t let love disrupt, corrupt or interrupt me
yeah i won’t let love disrupt, corrupt or interrupt me
anymore.
