Aeroplane 02:41
I see red sky I see red sky I'll take an aeroplane I'll never be the same I see red sky I feel the wind blow I feel the wind blow I'll sail the seven seas No one will know me I feel the wind blow I hear the engine roar I hear the engine roar I'll put my pedal to the floor I won't be me anymore I hear the engine roar But I can't leave you Why can't I leave you? The look in your eye.... Goodbye red sky

Involved 05:37
If I said "I want you" What would that incite you to do? Say it with me - "I wanna be involved with you" Secret signals will betray If you're privy to them anyway So you show me - You wanna be involved with me Take me, take me, take me For free I sense a change of mood Something sweet that you exude Say it with me - "I want to be involved with you" Clasping and unclasping This heart of mine is gasping To be involved with you Take me, take me, take me For free If you make another move I won't be responsible for what i do Don't muscle by, and then pretend To catch my eye You're no friend If you make another move I won't be responsible for what i do Don't gently coax, and then recoil Let's just go Before we spoil.... I want you for myself Myself If I said "I want you"....

Ghost Inside 06:42
I, I've got a ghost I've got a ghost inside And I can't figure out Which way his morals lie All I know is since I looked sideways Underneath the palm trees At that strange boy Nothing has been going my way I think the blue eyed bastard stole my Joy I, I've got a ghost I've got a ghost inside And I can't figure out Which way his morals lie All I know is since I let myself slide Down under the canvas With that strange boy My heart keeps falling by the wayside As if it thinks he's gonna come and make it Right He was the saddest soul I'd ever seen But he whispered that his love Was evergreen Now i'm carrying this hungry hex Seems a high price to pay For such lonely sex that Stole my love away I, I've got a ghost I've got a ghost inside And I can't figure out Which way his morals lie Curse that boy Curse his eyes Now I've got A ghost inside...

Lame Dog 03:40
Shaking on the curb he waits for you Nobody knows where you've gone to Lame Dog thinks this is a nasty place But he's here because you said 'stay' Stay! You're in a bar with a business man Tryna explain your business plan It's your last chance in this crappy town All he wants to know - how much to lie down? Lie down Sweetheart I promise you your time will come But right now you've gotta bring your lame dog home Maybe the cheap shot's the only way To make progress in the world today So you say if it will seal the deal You'll follow him home and you'll happily heel Heel. Sweetheart I promise you your time will come But right now you've gotta bring your lame dog home He used you and left you like a fool Crying and shaking on the same bar stool Barman says "What's the world come to? A lame dog outside says he belongs to you"

Satin shoulder Made for looking over Rest now I vow To fix it in the morning Don't deny it It felt right Look, see You're happy But now tomorrow's dawning... Morning mutiny Why always do this to me Ephemera You filthy friend I kiss you and you screw me Bed's edge Straightened out Quiet rain Slipping down my Satin shoulder Was made for looking over

Kill For You 05:06
When you said "follow me" And i did, willingly Trailed your light round the world Like a good little girl I grew up in your arms I grew strong on your charms But I couldn't see What you needed from me My love is true But I won't kill for you Put the gun in my hand And the words in my mouth But I'll throw it down And i'll spit them out How will this ever work How can we share a bed When i need to create And you won't rest til it's dead My love is true But I won't kill for you Oh, when you take my hand I don't know how much more i can stand Oh, my love is true But I won't Kill for Kill for you Kill for Kill for you If I said that I was leaving Would you accuse me of treason Could you give me one good reason To stay for the killing season Is this all you believe in? When you said "follow me"...

My dream Of you Was Oh So Real My dream Of you Lingered All Day And gave me This Feeling Of wanting You In a way That cannot That cannot be In my dream Of you We were Free To Be And there was No Taboo In My Dream Of You......
