Nine Lives


 

Pink

(Tyler, Supa, Ballard)

Pink it's my new obsession

Pink it's not even a question,

Pink on the lips of your lover,

‘cause Pink is the love you discover

Pink as the bing on your cherry

Pink ‘cause you are so very

Pink it's the color of passion

‘Cause today it just goes with the fashion

Pink it was love at first sight

Pink when I turn out the light, and

Pink gets me high as a kite

And I think everything is going to be all right

No matter what we do tonight

You could be my flamingo

‘Coz pink is the new kinda lingo

Pink like a deco umbrella

It's kink - but you don't ever tell her Pink it was love at first sight,

and Pink when I turn out the light

Pink gets me high as a kite

And I think everything is going to be all right

No matter what we do tonight

I want to be your lover

I wanna wrap you in rubber

As pink as the sheets that we lay on

Pink it's my favorite crayon, yeah

Pink it was love at first sight

Pink when I turn out the light

Pink it's like red but not quite

And I think everything is going to be all right

No matter what we do tonight

AIN'T THAT A BITCH

Up in smoke you've lost another love

As you take a hit off your last cigarette

Strung out, burnt out

Yeah you're down on your luck

And you don't give a...

'Til the best part of you starts to twitch

Ain't that a bitch

Freak out!

I'm alone now

I feel just like I'm losin' my mind

'Cause love is like the right dress

On the wrong girl

You never know what you're gonna find

You think you're high and fine as wine

Then you wind up like a dog in a ditch

'Cause love is like a wrong turn

On a cold night...yeah

Ain't that a bitch,

Ain't that a bitch

In a daze In the throes of emotion

You see God in the Devil's eyes

Then you fall so far from grace

You wouldn't know a kiss

If it was on your face

You can tell it to the jury

But you ain't got no case

Freak out!

I'm alone now

I feel just like I'm losin' my mind

'Cause love is like the right dress

On the wrong girl

You never know what you're gonna find

The gal was fine as calamine

but not Enough to scratch a seven year itch

'Cause love is like the last licks

Outta Hendrix... yeah

Ain't that a bitch,

Ain't that a bitch

Then you feel so out of place

Lickin' up the arsenic

From the same old lace

You know the stuff is poison

But you gotta have a taste

You gotta Freak out!

I'm alone now

I feel just like I'm losin' my mind

'Cause love is like the right dress

On the wrong girl

You never know what you're gonna find

You think you're high and fine as wine

Then you wind up with your face in the ditch

'Cause love is like a warm gun

On a cold night... yeah

Ain't that a bitch,

Ain't that a bitch


FULL CIRCLE

Yeah, yeah

If I could change the world

Like a fairy tale

I would drink the love

From your Holy Grail

I would start with love

Tell ol' Beelzebub

To get outta town

Cause you just lost your job

How did we get so affected ('cause I think)

Love is love reflected

Time

Don't let it slip away

Raise yo' drinkin' glass

Here's to yesterday

In Time

We're all gonna trip away

Don't piss Heaven off

We got Hell to pay

Come full circle

And if

There's a spell on you

that I could take away

I would do the deed

Yeah and by the way

Here's to Heaven knows

As the circle goes

It ain't right I'm uptight

Yeah and get off my toes

I used to think that every little thing I did was crazy

But now I think the Karma cops are comin' after you

Time

Don't let it slip away

Raise yo drinkin' glass

Here's to yesterday

In Time

We're all gonna trip away

Don't piss Heaven off

We got Hell to pay

Come full circle

Every time you get yourself caught up inside

Of someone else's crazy dream

Own it, yeah that's a mistake

Everybody's gotta lotta nada killing them

Instead of killing time

Time

Don't let it slip away

Raise yo' drinkin' glass

Here's to yesterday

In Time

We're all gonna trip away

Don't piss Heaven off

We got Hell to pay

Time

Don't let it slip away

Raise yo' drinkin' glass

Here's to yesterday

In Time

We're all gonna trip away

Don't piss Heaven off

We got Hell to pay

Come full circle

Circle, circle, circle, circle, circle, circle, circle


 

CERCHIO CHIUSO (FULL CIRCLE)

Si, si Se potessi cambiare il mondo Come una bella storia Berrei l'amore Dal tuo Santo Gral Voglio cominciare con amore Dire al vecchio Belzebù Di lasciare la città Perché hai solo perso il tuo lavoro Come dovremmo sentirci così affetti (perché io penso) L'amore è amore riflesso Tempo Non lasciare che ti sfugga via Riempi il bicchiere dal quale stai bevendo Qui è per ieri Nel tempo Ce ne andremo tutti via Non farti ubriacare dal Paradiso Abbiamo l'Inferno per pagare Vieni nel cerchio chiuso E se C'è un incantesimo su di te che Posso togliere Voglio fare l'atto Si e per la via Che conosco per il Paradiso Come il cerchio che Non è dritto Sono alzato Si e sono sceso in punta di piedi Preferivo pensare che ogni piccola cosa che ho fatto fosse pazza Ma adesso penso che il poliziotti del Karma ti stanno venendo dietro Tempo Non lasciare che ti sfugga via Riempi il bicchiere dal quale stai bevendo Qui è per ieri Nel tempo Ce ne andremo tutti via Non farti ubriacare dal Paradiso Abbiamo l'Inferno per pagare Vieni nel cerchio chiuso Ogni volta che entrerai da solo dentro I pazzi sogni di qualcun altro Prendili, si non è uno sbaglio Ognuno deve uccidere per averli Invece di uccidere il tempo Tempo Non lasciare che ti sfugga via Tempo Non lasciare che ti sfugga via Riempi il bicchiere dal quale stai bevendo Qui è per ieri Nel tempo Ce ne andremo tutti via Non farti ubriacare dal Paradiso Abbiamo l'Inferno per pagare Vieni nel cerchio chiuso Cerchio, cerchio, cerchio, cerchio, cerchio, cerchio, cerchio


CRASH

Sitting on a castle

On the floor with Esmeralda

Waiting for the Geezer

Captain Crunch to come around

Feeling suicidal 'Coz of certain situations

Hanging from the stairs

Too long I think I'm coming down

It's time to crash

Losin' my mind, losin' my mind, losin' my mind

Yeah

it's time to crash

Doin' tons of colon blow

Stuffing it in every hole

Miles high so am I

Watching Jimi kiss the sky

Salle diner becomes a blur

With everybody jammin'

Republicans begin to sin

The batwings start a slamming

It's time to crash

Losin' my mind, losin' my mind, losin' my mind

Maybe it's a little late but it's time to crash

You drive me crazy

Captain Billy Beemish

Put a lamb up on a rack

Thanks for coming Billy

And we hope you're comin' back

The castle will be waiting

For the next bangers and mash

Blanche and Marsha Reznick

Put their marmite with their hash

It's time to crash

Losin' my mind, losin' my mind, losin' my mind

Yeah it's time to crash

Hole In My Soul

I'm down a one way street

With a one night stan

d With a one track mind

Out in no man's land (The punishment sometimes don't seem to fit the crime)

Yeah there's a hole in my soul

But one thing I've learned

For every love letter written

There's another one burned (So you tell me how it's gonna be this time)

Is it over

Is it over 'Cause I'm blowin' out the flame

Take a walk outside your mind

Tell me how it feels to be

The one who turns the knife inside of me

Take a look and you will find there's nothing there girl

Yeah I swear,

I'm telling you girl yeah 'cause

There's a hole in my soul

that's been killing me forever

It's a place where a garden never grows

There's a hole in my soul, yeah

I should have known better

'Cause your love's like a thorn without a rose

I'm as dry as a seven year drought

I got dust for tears

And I'm all tapped out (Sometimes I feel broke and can't get fixed)

I know there's been all kinds of shoes underneath your bed

Now I sleep with my boots on but you're still in my head (And something tells me this time I'm down to my last licks)

'Cause if it's over

Then it's over

And it's driving me insane

Take a walk outside your mind

Tell me how it feels to be

The one who turns the knife inside of me

Take a look and you will find

There's nothing there girl yeah

KISS YOUR PAST GOOD-BYE

Finders keepers losers weep

Down on 42nd Street

Bare-foot children cryin' my-oh-my

I watched you on the avenue

While other men were having you

I think that you should let your caged bird fly

And kiss your past good-bye

Kiss your past good-bye

Kiss your past good-bye, yeah

Kiss your past good-bye

I've been so lost I must confess

I've had my share of loneliness

But yeah it's hard to keep a good man down

The loves you lost were all in vain

The past lives on inside your brain

I don't think you need those memories

Hangin' 'round, yeah

Good-bye

Kiss your past good-bye

You've gotta let it fly

Kiss your past good-bye, yeah

And if that bird don't fly away

There's just one thing I got to say

It's later than a deuce a ticks

Your broken heart, it needs a fix

You're feedin' off a high that would not last

And people they don't seem to care

And sorry just don't cut it, yeah

It seems to me you're gettin' nowhere fast

So... Kiss... your... past

Or kiss your ass good-bye

Kiss your past good-bye

There's no more tears to cry

So kiss your past good-bye

Kiss your past good-bye

Or kiss your ass good-bye Yeah


NINE LIVES

Some kind of verbooty

That fits me like a velvet glove

And it's cool Shu bop a doo ba

She's talkin' to me Juba to Jive

Yeah, the girl's in love

No doubt about it

The moment of truth has arrived

I'm feelin' like I hung the moon

And then at times

I couldn't even carry a tune

But now I'm back

Oh yes I am

I maybe fall apart at the seams

I had a nightmare

Believe me when I tell you

Nobody ever dies in their dreams

I think I need a stay of execution

In a wink, I'm dead in love again

Slip into a fare thee well

And how can one man's

Little bit o' Heaven

Turn into another man's

Hell I think
