No Killing

We dont want no killing lord
I dont wanna see my brother die
We dont want no killing lord
I dont wanna to see my sister cry
I dont wanna see
I dont wanna see I i I i i
I know that bad things are going down
I, I know that loneliness is all around
I know that the world is starved for love
Love
Yknow that theres good
And theres evil
And theres evil
Disguised as good
Theyre knocking at my door
Theyre knocking at my door
Dont let them in
Dont let them in
I think its the milwaukee police
I think its the police

Aint had no fun
All the time jacking around
Aint had no fun
All the time messin mind

But theres a windy city
In my bedroom alone

Sick and alone

Something's Wrong

Something's wrong.
Why don't you tell me about it?
Something's wrong?
Why don't you let it out?
It will help me to help you
to help me to touch you.
But you're already gone.
Something's wrong.
I don't know what it is.
Something's wrong.
It's my problem, yes it is.
Because I want to touch you.
And I want you so much
you don't even know.
Call me back, baby.
Call me back.
You can call me at any time.
Call me back, baby.
Call me back.
But don't you say everything's fine.

Used To Be

I used to be happy
I used to be
Such a loving man
I used to be
That was before
The end of my world
That was before
The end of my world
She used to be happy
She used to be
Such a loving woman
She used to be
That was before
The end of her world
That was before
The end of her world
We used to be happy
We used to be
Such a loving people
We used to be

Waiting For The Bus

We got the mother and the kids
We got the guy and his date
We all get mad
We all get laid
Looks like somebody forgot about us
Standin on the corner
Waitin for a bus
Say hey mister driver man
Dont be slow
Cause I got somewhere I got to go
Say hey mister driver man
Drive that thing fast
My precious time keep slippin past
Lets call the mayor lets complain
Looks like the citys done to us again
Tied up in traffic whatya know
The damn city bus moves so slow
I said hey mister driver man
Dont be slow
Cause I got somewhere I got to go

Outside The Palace

Ive been outside the palace
Ive been outside the gate
I still dont feel that I made any mistake
When I got off that train
I felt my feet hit the ground
I didnt want to go
Where that gravy train was bound
God help me to see
Ive been loved all along
And not to get too confused
Between the moonlight and the dawn
If I go back to the palace
Ill walk right thru the gate
Nobody knows how much here was at stake
I might get on that train
In feel the wheel on the train
Move it on up the mountain like a foregone fact
God help me to know
Ive been in love my whole life
And not to get so confused

Life Is A Scream

She said to me oh I dont know what you mean
All Im trying to do is
Trying to make your scene
I said to her no way baby life aint what it seem
Well dont you know baby that life is a scream - aagh
She came up to me in her high fashion and sheen
Well dont you know that she was trying to come clean
I said to her no way baby life aint what it seem
Well dont you know baby that lifes a scream - aagh
She said to me oh I love it when youre mean
Dont you know its boring when its quiet and serene
I said to her no way baby life aint what it seem
Got to get it through your head that life is a scream - aaheeii!

Hallowed Ground

The profit is a fool, the spirtual man is mad,
For the multitude of thine inequity, and the great hatred. (hosea 9:7)
Everyones trying to decide,
Where to go when theres no place to hide.
I follow the bombs as theyre coming down.
This must have been hallowed ground.
No matter what they decide to have done.
Burn up the clouds, block out the sun.
My hope is in one they cant bring down.
My soul is in hallowed ground.
I see the fear, its on the rise.
Lets catch the enemy by surprise.
Burry your treasure where it cant be found.
Burry it deep in hallowed ground.

All I Want

All I want is to talk to you
All I want is to talk to you
Im achin for your touch
Im breakin cause I miss you so much
Do you miss me, too?
All I want is to walk with you
All I want is to walk with you
Im hopin for your kiss
Im dopin cause I miss you so much
Do you miss me, too?
Little bit closer, little bit closer, someday
When I try to get closer, then you move away
And all I want to say is all I want is to be with you
All I want is to be with you
Youre hurting deep inside
Youre flirting cause you need to feel that you are still alive
Little bit closer, little bit closer, someway
When I try to get closer, then you move away
And all I want to say is all I want is to walk with you
All I want is to talk with you

Love & Me Make Three

Where were you
When judas needed a band
Sitting in the backseat
With another woman in your hand
Dont look this way
With your changing point of view
Just sit on a fence
And pretend to be you
Christ is crying
Outside your church door
Dont let him in
Hell get mud on your floor
Just put on your apron
And count up all the money
Dont you smell the burning
And you just think its funny
You love yourself
You love yourself
Have we become what we wanted?
You go ahead, Ill love myself more
