In The Name Of Beauty
04:32
|
|||
There’s an herb and I’ve heard if you swallow it, thrice
And refrain from legumes while applying some ice
You’ll lose eight pounds
Popped a pill, rubbed a gel, trimmed the hair in the nose
Got a tat, shaved the back, and perfected the pose
As strange as it sounds
Dabbling with a little bit of Botox and then to sanding down life-stained spots
In the name of beauty
In the name of love and and fleeting youth
In the name of beauty, there isn’t much we wouldn’t do
Got a nip and a tuck and a silicone pair
Honed the hips and the gut on the infamous stairs
Then bathed in clay
Had a bleach and a dye, an intestinal sweep
Dermabrasion, a wax, and abstention from wheat
Four weeks and a day
With just a little labioplasty she’ll be f’n hot and nasty
In the name of beauty
In the name of love and fleeting youth
In the name of beauty, there isn’t much she wouldn’t do
(...i need to be seen... will you love me? love me... please, look at me... look at me... i need to be seen... love me... will you love me? look at me... look at me... love me... please, love me...)
Who is he, what is this, where is permanent bliss?
Got the glutes and the lips but he still seems to miss the heart of it all
He’s ringing up some rhinoplasty and looking for that look that’s lasting
In the name of beauty
In the name of love and fleeting youth
In the name of beauty, there isn't much he wouldn’t do
In the name of beauty
In the name of love and fleeting youth
In the name of beauty, there is not much we would not do
(...am i enough? am i beautiful? how do i look? will you love me? please, love me... will you love me? how do i look? am i handsome? do you like me? do you like me? how do i look? will you love me? please, look at me... look at me... love me... BOO! look at me... please, love me... love me... i need you... do you like me? will you love me? love me... love me... love me... love me... love me... love me... please, love me...)

The in-between waiting time
Isn't that where most of us live?
The in-between waiting time
As if we had so much time to give
Thinking when this, then that
Life will be better then
Someday, when all my dreams come true
I wish I were somewhere else
And I had just one more thing
Searching for someone fresh and new
The in-between waiting time
Isn't that where most of us live?
The in-between waiting time
As if we had so had so much time to give
Nothing is ever enough
Peace is just out of reach
I'm longing for something more to do
The in-between waiting time
Isn't that where most of us live?
The in-between waiting time
As if we had so had so much time to give
This, is all there is
And now, is all there'll ever be
Will I ever be set free from the in-between waiting time?
Isn't that where most of us live?

How Do I Love You?
03:38
|
|||
How do I, how do I love you? How do I, how do I love?
As the bee its hive of honey
And a faithful dog its master
Like the miser worships money
For all time and ever after
As the savior the forsaken
And my eggs with triple bacon
I'm down with love and you're my fever healing
How do I, how do I love you? How do I, how do I love?
How do I, how do I love you? How do I, how do I love?
As Mr. Bond does his Martini
And a thong on a Brazilian
Like the Yogi a Dakini
You're my one in seven billion
As a Roman with a pasta
And the ganja-laden Rasta
But similes all pale with what I'm feeling
How do I, how do I love you? How do I, how do I love?
How do I, how do I love you? How do I, how do I love?
How do I, how do I love you? How do I, how do I love?
As a desert flower the rain
The blood that pulses in my veins
You're a candle in the dark
An oasis city park
You're the gold at rainbow's end
My confidante and lifelong friend
You're each and every breath I breathe
My favourite song and melody

Let's Not Fight Again
04:54
|
|||
Let's not fight again this time
Let's not waste another day
There's no heart in "wrong" and "right"
It's just a game our egos play
I'm yours, you're mine
We're two as one
No borderline
Nowhere to run
Hey...
Let's not fight again this time
Let's not take the separate way
Hold each other through the night
In love forever, come what may
Through storms, through rain
Through doubt and fear
I'll heal your pain
You'll dry my tears
Hey... Let's not fight again this time
Hey... Let's not fight again this time
Hey... Let's not fight again this time
Hey...

Sube La Mirada

Dibi-dibi Dum
Dibi Dum-dum Doo
Un sonámbulo, eres tu
Sube la mirada, no mires a tu pinche pantalla
Sube la mirada, no mires a tu pinche pantalla
Te Whatsappeas, te mensajeas
Televiseas y te tonteas
Snapchat-eando,Twitter-eando
Tu cabeza por abajo
Te importa un carajo
De emociones y modales funcionales
Dibi-dibi Dum
Dibi Dum-dum Doo
Un sonámbulo, eres tu
Sube la mirada, no mires a tu pinche pantalla
Sube la mirada, no mires a tu pinche pantalla
Apantallado, ahuevonado
Telenovelas, Futbol y Chelas
Facebook-eando, YouTube-eando
Surfeando, navegando los portales
Aislado, masturbando con amores virtuales
Dibi-dibi Dum
Dibi Dum-dum Doo
Un sonámbulo, eres tu
Sube la mirada, no mires a tu pinche pantalla
¡SUBE!

Remember Who You Are
04:25
|
|||
You're not who someone thinks
You're ever so much more
The limiting beliefs
Have bolted all your doors
And you submit as if asleep
From lion king to docile sheep
They try to make you small
To make themselves feel grand
With hopes that you might fall
Each time you firmly stand
You justify the painful things
While I hear birds in cages sing
Remember who you are, remember
Remember, you're a star of light
Remember those who fill your heart with love and joy
Remember
I see you in distress
Your light's begun to fade
Settling for less
And the price you pay
And though with love work must be done
There should be laughs, it should be fun
Remember who you are, remember
Remember, you're a star of light
Remember those who fill your heart with love and joy
Remember
You're not who someone thinks
You're ever so much more

Master, Chain and Ball
04:11
|
|||
Your life and senses dim
Whenever I'm around to satisfy your whims
I'm never far away
You need me here to fill your night and day
A blank, hypnotic space
The human you've become; with a blind, frenetic pace
It seems you're deaf and dumb
I'm always in your hand, forever in your face
When I ring you respond
You're at my beck and call
You're my bling; Pavlov's dog
I'm Master, chain and ball
It's me you fondly touch
You take me everywhere, I'm your social crutch
You hold me as you drive
And brush me with your lips; I make you come alive
When I ring you respond
You're at my beck and call
You're my bling; Pavlov's dog
I'm Master
I'm your wings, magic wand
Your escape, firewall
But you're trapped in my fog
I'm Master, chain and ball

Thankful
04:02
|
|||
Gonna wear a big old smile
Gonna go the extra mile
Gonna give it all I’ve got
And then I’ll give some more
I’ll focus on the here and now
Not worry about the when and how
Take each moment as it comes
And grateful that it did
Thankful to be and thankful to be me
Thankful to be, I'm thankful
This could be my final day
No matter what the planets say
Gonna savor every breath
As if it were my last
I’ll no longer beat me up
Drink from an abundant cup
I’m grateful for the gifts I’ve got
And all the love I’ve shared
Thankful to be and thankful to be me
Thankful to be, I'm thankful

Ho-Hum, Ennui
03:54
|
|||
I don't really know what to write this time
I guess that I've got nothing to say
I don't really feel like a clever rhyme
Or looking for a new melody
Ho-hum, Ennui
Listless, that's me
I don't wanna' know how to change my ways
Even when I'm trite and jejune
Maybe it could be that I'm too blasé
But I'm happy hanging here, in my room
Ho-hum, Ennui
Listless, that's me
Not numb, no glee
Bliss-less, that's me
(Ho hum, ennui, ho hum, ennui)
I don't wanna' purpose; to be compelled
Or burden every moment with worth
I don't need a mission to make me well
A charity, or saving the Earth
Ho-hum, Ennui
Listless, that's me
Not glum, no glee
Bliss-less, that's me
(Ho-Hum, Ennui, Ho-Hum, Ennui)
I don't really know what to write this time
I guess that I've got nothing to say
I don't really feel like a clever rhyme
Or looking for a new melody
Ho-hum, Ennui
Listless, that's me
Not glum, no glee
Bliss-less, that's me
(Ho-Hum, Ennui, Ho-Hum, Ennui)
(Ho-Hum, Ennui, Ho-Hum, Ennui)

One, two, three, four
Freedom's what we're fighting for!
In celebration of the rebellious
In celebration of the rebellious
Regulations and restrictions
We're subdued, disarmed, ignored
Our fears exploited like addictions
We're belittled, dazed, and bored
Revolutions and uprisings
We'll be taking back control
In celebration of the rebellious
In celebration of the rebellious
Visionaries, courageous dreamers
Take a stand and make some noise
You and I are the redeemers
Equal rights for girls and boys
A delicious transformation
All for one and one for all
In celebration of the rebellious
In celebration of the rebellious
Numbers growing, change unfolding
Time for showing strength we're holding
Hey...
One, two, three, four
Freedom's what we're fighting for!
Unity of purpose...Yes, to human rights...The best of our ideals...The reigns are in our hands...The pursuit of happiness...Have more fun...Sit in a humble place...The sound of pure joy...Take back control...Together, we can change...Hey...Oh...Hey...REBELLION!

(I) Envisioned another place; a charmed, abundant life
Imagined an ageless face and loving, faithful wife
Everything and everyone would be exactly as I'd hoped they'd be
Whenever I'd look ahead it all appeared ideal
Never an obstacle, no pain, or Achilles' heel
So what happened to the super me improving on reality?
The future ain't what it used to be
The here and now, not what I'd dreamed
Where are the better times, the peaceful, golden years
The wisdom and love sublime, and absence of all fears?
Now, instead, I reminisce of all the past things that I miss
The future, ain't what it used to be
The here and now, not what I'd dreamed
The future, ain't what it used to be
And this, for sure, is hardly make believe
Now, instead, I reminisce of all the past things that I miss
The future, ain't what it used to be
The here and now, not what I'd dreamed
The future, ain't what it used to be
And this, for sure, is hardly make believe
