Je t'Adore 04:51
I know those eyes Those great, green eyes They are with me all the time I see them in my dreams Shining down like moonbeams They catch me when I’m falling And I am falling, falling For now and forevermore Je t’adore Hi, hello how you doing So glad you came along Just wanna say you’ve made my day Ding-ding I know that smell That sweet musky smell That comes from the depths of your belly It lures me in Like a dreamy violin And it is playing a concerto For now and forevermore Je t’adore I know that sound Your sweet dulcet voice And how it showers me with a harmony I could hear you talk All the livelong day And never grow weary or annoyed For now and forevermore Je t’adore

You can say anything, anything at all And you always do, you always do You can talk about numbers They're all you know Don't matter what's true You wanna cast a spell, cast a spell You can do anything, anything at all You are the king, yeah you're king You can pay off hookers to pee on the bed If that's your thing You wanna blow up the world, blow up the world Don't know what's real from what is not And when nothing's real What have you got Can't tell the fake from the fact When you tell the truth in abstract Between the light and shade there is gray You can lose your way Like in a fog You can spin the wheel but the game is rigged We service you like a tiny cog Yes, your holy, oh yes your holy
3.
I cannot fight you Don't have the strength You're much more able to go the length There's nothing I can say to change your mind What I was thinking or hoping to find I am so wrong, so wrong You got it right All right, so right When I try to best you I feel a pain Resistance is futile The fight's in vain No use in hoping That is my curse I think of you all of the time But it's not the reverse I am so wrong, so wrong Well the months go by and then it's years We grow older Life interferes Nothing changes 'Cept blood and bone And in the end, in the end We're all alone I am so wrong, so wrong

Sometimes I feel just like a dinosaur Billion years old and stuck in some book Sometimes I wanna just tear off the tiles And stomp around in a babbling brook Sometimes I wanna hit all the heights Go down to downtown St. Marks Square Wanna meet the bohos in their prime When the high brows let down their hair Sometimes I think I'm on the precipice Of some unique truth up my bum Sometimes I think I'll cross the divide The one that we won't overcome Lonely you, lonely me Who am I without you Lonely you, lonely me And who are you without me Lonely you, lonely me Sometimes I wanna break on through Just like Jim did on the other side Sometimes I need to conquer my fears And the fears of those who also hide Sometimes I look as big as the sky All vast and wide into eternity Sometimes I think I could go on forever Blaspheming with my blasphemy Sometimes I need to pull all the stops And bring this ride down to an end But sometimes when I see your face I feel myself descend
5.
You do a good job of convincing me Of all the things that you say You want me to believe you could kill yourself Maybe that will push me away But it don't add up It don't add up But what adds up, what adds up Is you're a liar You're pretty skilled at trying to win me over Win me over to your way of thinking You say you want to end it all in some vague way And you say it without blinking But it don't add up It don't add up But what adds up, what adds up Is you're a liar Don't know what you really want from me And I'm feeling manipulated And if I've made one thing clear to you Is that is something I've always hated Yeah it don't add up It don't add up But what adds up, what adds up Is you're a liar
6.
Nothing that I say makes any fucking sense Nothing that I do has fucking meaning Nothing that I think is fucking worth the fucking thinking I’m up, I down, I’m fucking leaning Am I making it clear Do da do da do da do It's what you do Do da do da do da do I do that too Nothing that I want is worth the fucking wanting Nothing that I hope for is worth the fucking hope Nothing that I dream is a dream to give fuck all ‘Cause if want for something I am a fucking dope Am I making it clear Nothing was all I ever had my fucking hands on Nothing that I could somehow be fucking stuck to Nothing was all I ever got for my fucking efforts So I gotta say fucking fuck you Am I making it clear
7.
I can only guess As to who you really are But my best guess don’t amount to much Who are you behind the mask Is that someone, someone I can touch After all this time You’d think I’d finally get it But that I don’t Makes me wonder what is true As bad as I want to move in closer I will never, never know you I will never know you Yeah, I got eyes Eyes that see you But am I seeing what I think I’m seeing Am I projecting Am I objectifying Turning you into a supernatural being I will never know your favorite movie And I will never know your favorite book I will never know the way you make love I will never know your loving look I know that what seems Is rarely what is And I’ve gotten it wrong so many times before I wish that for once I could trust my guts And I will get a peek at what’s behind the door
8.
I put my trust in you You put your trust in me That's how it always was historically But then you went and lied Wrecked our sacred bond Now we can't go back We can't go beyond I don't believe you no more, no more You told a big fat fib You looked me in the eye You got me to believe I believed in your lie You made it up craftily You told it like a pro You thought I'd never catch you I'd be too dumb to know I put my trust in you You put your trust in me Now that's gone forever historically How can I know now just what is true You took my fragile faith And you broke it in two
9.
I spend my days out here in the ocean Until I wash up on your shore You lure me with your secret song A song like nothing I've heard before Nothing's gonna stop the way I feel Nothing's gonna end this misery Nothing's gonna change The yearning in my heart Just what you mean to me I hear your voice in the dead of the night Which I tend to find a bit concerning But it speaks to me gentle and so sweet And it fills me with such yearning Who really cares if I humiliate myself Certainly not me I would do anything, anything at all If you would be my chickadee I feel your presence all around me I am sensitive to your vibration You will never know how deeply I feel But you’re my sole fixation
10.
Don't know nothing about emotions Don't know nothing about empathy Don't know nothing about caring I only know about me Don't want to know about your problems Don't want to know how bad you hurt When you've fallen to the bottom I will cover you with dirt Boom, boom, boom Goes my crooked, crooked heart Don't wanna hear about your issues Don't wanna hear about your stupid ills Don't really care if you're up or down Go and take a bunch of pills Don't give a hoot about your ailments Don't give a hoot about your stupid needs If you want to cry your eyes out Find yourself someone who's heart really bleeds Don't know nothing about loving Don't know nothing about gentleness Don't know nothing 'bout my fellow man Yeah I am someone who could care less Don't give a shit about interests Don't give a shit about your demands Don't give a shit about your setbacks You are in service of my commands
11.
Run, run away Run, run away If truth be told I don’t want to stay anyway If truth be told this is my final day Fly, fly away Fly, fly away If truth be told I am setting myself free If truth be told I'm on a merry jamboree If truth be told I gotta get outta here If truth be told I gotta disappear Dream, dream, dream away Dream, dream, dream away And you won’t see me ever looking back As I head out of this cul-de-sac
12.
Wanna go back to a place that never existed A place I feel I could belong Wanna build a home there with four strong walls With the emphasis on strong Can you take me back to where I came from Can you take me back there Can you take me back to where I came from Wherever that is I don’t care Just wanna get away by any means I’ve saved up my nickels and my dimes Just wanna remember how it might have been For old times Wanna find a hideaway that no one’s found Where the people don’t talk so loud Wanna do the kind of things that I like to do That’s what makes my world go ‘round Wanna disappear in between some crack Where no one will ever find me Wanna lock my old life into a musty chest So nothing will ever remind me
