1. Magnetic ShunkYou’re a magnet to my mind baby don’t knowwhat to doBut I would plow through shame to sit right next to youIt’s nobody’s business who you give your kissBut I’m telling all the world what they’re about to miss

I know you’ve done a lot of loving before you did meBut I could never guess how sweet it would bePractice makes perfect now ain’t that trueSo get ready honey now I’m gonna do you

Nothing feels better than your skin on my skinDon’t care about the others or where you’ve beenI can play dirty and I know you play roughOne, two, three, four shakes is never enough


When you walk into a room floating across the floor I get awestruck I get dumb an easy prey a sitting duckWhen you lay your eyes on me with that smile on your faceI wanna feel your touch again oh I can’t wait until we….

No need to be gentle baby I like it rawTreat me like I was crime and you are the law

Bite me spank me baby pull my hairI’m gonna rub you the right way and kiss you right there


2. The Apple & The TreeI remember the days I don’t recall It was a time of innocence and decadenceOh the fights, the fun and the ignoranceNow you’re always under influence

A long hard fall from oblivionThe apple doesn’t fall far from the tree Too young and scared to let it be you and meToo full of ourselves to see how it was gonna be

Never had an easy living but it’s the only life you’ve ever knownYou’ve been good you’ve been bad you’ve been differentThat’s how it goes for people like me and you

Ain’t it strange how the cards are dealt?You say tomorrow seems as bad as yesterdayThat you live because you have to not because you wanna stayThen there’s those who die trying to get away


So sick of people telling us who we areI’m neither or I’m everything and in betweenI’m nothing or something that you’ve never ever seenLife’s a repetition how it’s always been


3. Exit 97Just as the sun slowly catches the ground she walks byThey walk with me through darkness and cold hearted mindsIn this dream and on this ride you are mine Oh haven’t you seen they shine brighter than stars in the sky

No one No one No one else can make me go

If nothing is real they haven’t seen this oneAnd the wound of the spear two chosen ones‘Til the end

Some say it’s few to find love to be true words inside. The winter still comes but your vision will lead to the lightOut from me and in to you everything grows strongAll that I’ve got might not be that much but I’mgiving it all to you

You are the one And I will give it all to you

If nothing is real they haven’t seen this oneAnd the wound of the spear two chosen ones‘Til the end

4. Never Theirs To SellIt was never never, ever never theirs to take and never theirs to sell

Did you notice when they stole your life?And that the price never reveals the cost?Trapped in labor trained to stay in lineWhat are they doing with what’s yours and mine

It was never ever, never never theirs to takeIt was never ever, never never theirs to takeAnd never theirs to sell

Four hundred years and we’re still going strongOne way bridges and apartheid wallsSame old bullshit with a different nameCan’t call it playing ‘cause it’s a fixed game

Can you hear that old song stuck on repeat? Familiar problems never cease to existSelf-righteous men with a broken willStrong minded women always pay those bills

It was never ever, never never theirs to takeIt was never ever, never never theirs to takeAnd never theirs to sell

5. Can’t Walk OutWe saw you try to walk out on yourselfWalk out on what you had becomeWe saw you walk out on the universeWalk out on the world until it came aroundWalk, walk, walk, walk out on your self

You saw us sit down to drink your wineSaw you dance through life ‘til your music diedDance, dance, dance ‘til your music diedDance, dance, dance ‘til your music died

Waiting for shazam

But you can’t walk out on the universeGotta keep dancing when your music diesNo you can’t walk out on the universe Gotta keep dancing when your music dies

Watch out here it comes - ShazamHere it comes - Shazam Shazam ShazamShazaaaam

What is a true urge and what have we been taught?Pushed reality aside to live your truthWhat was it that never let them pin you down?You pushed determination down their throats

Push, push, push, reality asideFreak, freak, freak, freak them out and sing

But you can’t walk out on the universe Gotta keep dancing when your music diesNo you can’t walk out on the universeGotta keep dancing when your music dies

6. Too Much is Not EnoughBaby your mind’s already made upYou just don’t know it yetOr maybe you’re just letting me down easyI know you tried, tried to keep us togetherBut in the end there was nothing left to keep

I said, I said that I love you and I always willNow that would have been true if only time stood still

It was too little too late and now too much isnot enoughI know we got it wrong I did too little too lateSomeday you’ll see the shades of greySo baby please don’t let your love turn to hate

Now summer’s here but my baby ain’tI never got the chance to say don’t go Because you were already long gone by thenUncertainty had me in a chokeholdAnd all I could think to say was so far from rightIt made the wrong words seem like poetry

Honey I hope you realize,Being persuasive doesn’t always make you rightI know we got it wrong, I did too little too lateSomeday you’ll see the shades of greySo baby please don’t let your love turn to hate

7. From A Hole In The WallCan you hear a big bird singingsomewhere in the back of your mindIt’s loud enough to make you wonderCan I please hear it one more time

Saying I’ll never leave youCall me me and I’m on my waysomehow I can always see youAnd I can feel you in me everyday

You say you travel on a winding roadIt’s long enough to wrap you upHow can you tell if it’s realThe way it touches is sure hard to feel

Too much of nothing can hurt youAnd too little hurt even worseI wonder If I’ll ever get to youOr if you’ll have to get to me first

Into the street of the cityWhere we don’t have to think so hardAnd we don’t have to worry now do weJust look at the world from a hole in the wall

While on your way to see a troubled friendYou loose your way and never see her againI think I know how it feelsThe way it touches is sure hard to feel

Too much of nothing can hurt youAnd too little hurt even worseI wonder If I’ll ever get to youOr if you’ll have to get to me first

Into the street of the cityWhere we don’t have to think so hardAnd we don’t have to worry now do weJust look at the world from a hole in the wall

Look and see a sky is formingHolding so many rainsIt makes you feel real lonelyAnd the feeling is like a ball and chain

Down on the street of the cityWhere you don’t have to think so hardYou don’t have to worry now do youJust look at the world from a hole in the wall

You put in the back of your head nowSave it for another timeAnd when it gets too heavy to carryYou may always put it down on mine

I promise I’ll never leave youCall me and I’m on my waySomehow I can always see youAnd I can feel you in me everyday

8. Cause & Defect It was a light rain that fellIt fell heavy on our heads that dayBenny wasn’t even there to see it go downMaybe he knew they wouldn’t let him stay

It’s cause and defect

We all saw the dark clouds comingThat’s when he painted the basement blueHe stepped right out took a step closer to dyingTwo steps more without even trying


It’s like climbing a dream Tumbling down a failure Trippin’ on a nightmare To see that no one is there no one is there

No matter no matter their motives The consequences are the samePredictable systems with no one to blameWisdom of experience nowhere to be found


It’s like climbing a dream Tumbling down a failure Trippin’ on a nightmare To see that no one is there no one is there

9. Hard-HeadedYou see there’s something that I’ve held insidetoo longBut there’s no room for any doubt at all in hereRepeating their words oh hold your head up highJust so I can bring it all down and out

Sorry to say your show is overSorry to say you’re just like them alrightYour little hardheaded mind and your eyes arethat blindYou pick wisely who you mess up this time Come on so lets just move on out of here

You’re an extension of your little narrow mindsAnd all the missionary work you’ve left behindThey’re still holding your strings oh you’re dancing so finePretty little rebel yeah you live just to die


Leaving so precious and so right Maybe one day you will be fineTaking it home will leave them no trace To fall is what you need to pay it back

So let’s just move on out of here


10. Far Too CloseI could feel it all that day and how life just ran awaySomehow they got you and almost took whatthey need I heard the bells were ringing and darkness growing from the pain

And if you leave where would you goCause I will follow, slowly I’m making my way

How I keep on wondering I’ve looked for reasons but they failI keep on wondering what have we done to let it fade

Never seen the colors fade so fast and for time to move so slow I hear them riding in the wind like a shadow of my sinThis time you’re wrong but the fear makes you forget You know I wish I was closer but I’m a millionmiles away

An endless night to come and sides so steep and the fall is far too close For the one and all I know, I’ll see them from above with you

11. Stay For A Song I might not be much to look at and I might not have much to sayBut if you let me love you baby there’s a good chance you’re gonna staySmooth talking, dancing and bragging honey it’s never been my thingMaybe my voice can give you comfort if you stick around to hear me sing

Won’t you stay for a songWon’t you stay one more songWon’t you stay one more song

My place among all lovers it sure ain’t number oneAlthough I am good enough for you to miss me when I’m goneOn stage when I face a crowd of people inside I still feel aloneBut I know I’m a decent singer and most days I can keep my tone

Won’t you stay one more songWon’t you stay one more songWon’t you stay one more song
