Ain't It Heavy 
2001 
Dance Without Sleeping 
Place Your Hand 
Must Be Crazy For Me 
Meet Me In The Back 
The Boy Feels Strange 
Keep It Precious 
The Letting Go 
It's For You 

Ain't it heavy
Sometimes I know that it's never enough
Survival is fine but satisfaction is rough
I try with an angel tonight
Spread these wings and I'm on for the ride
Cruise these streets where my innocence hides
There's some things you can't deny
What is it about this human condition
I need some kind of promise
some kind of submission tonight
CHORUS:
Heavy
Ain't it heavy
Ain't the night heavy
I'm feelin' kinda loose I'm feelin' kinda mean
I've been feeling kinda wild since I turned seventeen
Or is it madness
Tell me where can a woman find any kind of peace
When does the fury and the agony cease
How long have I got to say please
There's a hole in my jeans I only wanted to fade
I've been ripping out the seams
somebody else made tonight
(CHORUS)


Well I've been looking
Looking for an answer
Somebody promised me one
And I've been waiting
Waiting for the chance
Well somebody said it would come
Wake me up when we hit 2001
I've been talking
Talking to the maker
Of the compromise
They said she's fine
Call the undertaker
You shouldn't look surprised
Wake me up when we hit 2001
It's barely alive with a story at five
So turn your video on
We live in these years dark age of fear
Meet me in 2001
I saw my sister
Saw the ones who twist her
A social suicide
If looks could kill
Each and every cheap thrill
Could be a homicide
Wake me up when we hit 2001
It's barely alive with a story at five
So turn your video on
We live in these years dark age of fear
Meet me in 2001
I've been searching
Searching for a reason
To either fight or die
Either way patriot or treason
It's gonna be one long hard ride
Wake me up when we hit 2001

Dance Without Sleeping
I don't want to talk about it
I've done enough I think
I don't want to spend more money
Don't want another drink
I would scratch out all the images
If I had the chance
Don't ask me what I'm thinking
Can't you see I only want to dance
CHORUS:
Dance without sleeping
Dance without fear
Dance without senses no message I hear
Dance without sleeping
Dance till I'm numb
Dance till I think I can overcome
Walking on the edge of rage and understanding
Between the black and the white
This child is so angry
Alone here tonight
Alarming desperation
Leads me to believe
With all my shields and protection
It's only me I deceive
(CHORUS)
The eyes on a magazine
The voice on the radio
The kiss on the movie screen
This is the story I know
Fathers hold on and they never go
Mothers hold on and they never go
Lovers hold on and they never go
Lovers they come and they never go
(CHORUS)

Place Your Hand
I've an image in my pocket
Of some dark demon
That temptation brought to life
And it chokes all of my breath out
I'm scratching and screaming
Till morning comes to night
CHORUS:
Place your hand
My body will decide
Place your hand
My anger will subside
There are fragments of possessions
Shards of past relations
Splintering my skin
A fear so black and hollow
It can suffocate creation
And refuse to let you in
(CHORUS)
And they speak to me like prophets in my dreams
Speak to me like prophets in my dreams
Shouting like prophets in my dreams
Sometimes I think it's easy
Too easy for the living
To receive the promised land
Can flesh provide the answer
The reason for sensation
Justify your hand
(CHORUS)

Must Be Crazy For Me
You tell me not to call you up
Cause it ties you down
Don't tell your friends
You've been hangin' round
You must be crazy for me
You say you'll see me once or twice
Every week or two
There's more important things
That you've got to do
You must be crazy for me
CHORUS:
Cause when I kissed you last night
In my own backyard
You ran so fast
And you fought so hard
You must be crazy for me
You must be crazy for me
You don't like my hair
You don't like my car
You don't like my friends
You met at the bar
You must be crazy for me
I see you shake your head
And you roll your eyes
Your firm remark
To remove my thigh
You must be crazy for me
(CHORUS)
Do not expect you to wait
Do not expect you to phone
Do not expect anything
When I catch you alone
You must be crazy for me
(CHORUS)

Meet Me In The Back
CHORUS:
Meet me in the back
Don't make me wait too long
I could change my mind
And tell you that it's wrong
So meet me in the back
Where the light don't shine
First show me yours
Maybe I'll show you mine
My hands are shaking
My heart is beating fast
Is love worth making
When it can never last
(CHORUS)
I'm gonna give directions
I'm gonna take it slow
But if I don't get protection
I will just say no
(CHORUS)
I can hear the music
Pounding through the walls
And to the beat of dancing
I will give you all
(CHORUS)

The Boy Feels Strange
And he looks at me in wonder
And he looks at me in fear
Wrestling with his anger
His pride and stony tears
To place me in his life
Will be hard and slow
Does he want it need it
I might never know
The boy feels strange
Oh the boy has changed
Looking from my tower
I can see his fortress strong
Surrounded by his army
Where do I belong
Does he ever find the answers
In the cars as they go by
Does he ever want to ask me why
The boy feels strange
Oh the boy has changed
And he's seen with all the women
Who think that he's a god
And he blesses whom he pleases
Holding fast to the facade
I want to reach out and believe him
Through his miles and miles of pain
But lately when I touch him
The boy feels strange
And he speaks to me of business
When I ask him how he's been
Keeps me at a distance
Never getting under skin
Can he make a new beginning
Does he even want to try
Or will he only let it die
The boy feels strange
Oh the boy feels strange

Keep It Precious
You brought me to trust you brought me to tears
In one tender touch the pain disappears
I have been to the sword seen it come seen it die
As we enter the dark I bessech you to try
In prophecy all good things must end
So take care my love my friend
Keep it precious
Keep it precious
This yielding is fine this promise rare
One day at a time we've agreed to dare
Holding you tight with wide open arms
I'm letting you go no stranger to harm
Go on ride your way do not break or bend
Just take care my love my friend
Keep it precious
Keep it precious
And the wonder let the wonder never cease
And the madness of the pleasure and ecstasy
Danger believing me
Wounding and healing me please
Keep it precious
I believe in your eyes I believe in your fate
I believe we can fly on the wings we create
A voice from behind calls up anger and fear
We can silence that scream it's simple and clear
Nothing must die only if failed to mend
So take care my love my friend
Keep it precious

The Letting Go
I came here to let you know
The letting go
Has taken place
I have held the winter's son
Become one
Set my pace
Isn't that what we wanted all along
Freedom like a stone
Maybe we were wrong
But I can say goodbye
Now that the passion's died
Still it comes so slow
The letting go
Piece by piece I take apart
This complicated heart
And I hope to find
Something I can prove is real
I can feel is truth
I can say is mine
That's all I even wanted to be
The closer I got
The further I could see
But when lovers change
And the night feels strange
We choose our road
The letting go
I came here to let you know
The letting go
Has taken place

It's For You
Hey you watching as this light bleeds all over me
Shadows rise and fall listen as I call is this reality
I will be with you tonight
and tomorrow be 1,000 miles away
I will be with you tonight
I will be with you as long as you stay
One little piece of my soul
One little piece of my whole life
I give to you
Take it now
CHORUS:
I'm with you
I'm not with my lover
It's not for another broken heart
It's for you
Not just for some shattered dream I once knew
It's for you
It's for you
Hey you looking through a mirror to a cage
I'll take you away this miracle you pray for on the stage
I will be with you tonight
I will be with you 1,000 miles away
I will never leave
Inside of you a piece of me will stay
One little piece of my soul
One little piece of my whole life
I give to you
Take it now
(CHORUS)
Come closer now
(CHORUS)
