Honey it‘s rotten and they got us so scared
Thinking there’s some evil waiting under vain
Whooo! I made a nasty decision
To love whoever I want just-a whenever I can

Things they’re saying--
Evil urges baby; they're just part of the human way
It ain't evil baby, if ya ain't hurting anybody
Evil urges baby; they're now part of the human way
It ain't evil baby, if ya ain't hurting anybody, anybody

It's all the same, we’re tired of waiting come on then
And dedicate your love to any woman or man
No racial boundary lines, no social subdivisions
If you want it, you can

Well we're not saying, I'm not saying that I want it someday
Well we're not saying, I'm not saying that I want it somehow
Well we’re not saying, I'm not saying that I want it someday
Woo, I'm ready it for now (I'm ready for it now!)

Things they’re saying--
Evil urges baby; they're part of the human way
It ain't evil baby, if ya ain't hurting anybody
Evil urges baby come on; bad is all the same come on now
It ain't evil baby, if it ain't hurting anybody anybody

Evil urges baby, they’re part of the human way
It ain't evil baby, ’cause ya ain't hurting anybody anybody

Touch me, i'm going to scream if you don't
inside i know you got the feeling that you won't, oh
i know it sounds confusing, but it makes a lot of sense
throw a bone across the ocean, dig a hole under the fence

touch me, i'm going to scream if you don't
inside i know we get the feeling that you won't
i can tell by the way you smile, i'm smiling, too
i see myself in you
i can tell by the sounds you make when you are pleased
you see yourself in me

touch me, i'm going to scream if you don't
inside i know we got the feeling that you won't
how many nights can a soul so full of life remain untouched?
how can a soul make the most of what is cold and what is near?

i need a human right by my side, untied, untied

. . .


Wasting time home alone dotting your "i's".
Peanut butter pudding surprise!
Ain't nobody care what's going on in your mind-
but they got they eye on your prize...
I'm highly suspicious of you.

Now daddy's got you home alone- solving your crimes.
Peanut butter pudding surprise!
Ain't no jokin', smokin', strokin', tapping your lines-
Peanut butter pudding surprise!

I'm highly suspicious of you.

Wasting all your time on drama, could be solving real crime
waste away your mind too...

I'm highly suspicious of you.
I'm highly suspicious. Highly suspicious of you

. . .

I'm Amazed

[No lyrics]

. . .


Really didn't think I was gonna make it.
Really didn't think I was gonna make it this way.
Put on my robot face. Hide my emotions way far away from me.

Oh! You really saw my naked heart.
You really brought out the naked part.
I don't know what you were doing-
I know I just want to thank you for thinking of me.

I want to take you. For all that you are.
Although our worlds seem far apart
I want to see you- thru all that you do.
I want to thank you.

It was strange and it was soothing, and you could even ay amusing-
The way it came to me.
You'd devised a simple plan, that would change the fate of man,
you'd thought of everything

Oh! you really saw my naked heart.
You really brought out the naked part.
I don't know what you were doing-
I know I just want to thank you for thinking of me

I want to take you. For all that you are.
Although our worlds seem far apart.
I want to see you- thru all that you do
I want to thank you

Walk across the courtyard,
Towards the library.
I can hear the insects buzz on the leaves, 'neath my feet.

Ramble up the stairwell,
To the hall of books.
Since we got the interweb these hardly get used.

Duck into the men's room,
Combing through my hair.
When God gave us mirrors he had no idea.

Looking for a lesson
In the periodicals,
There I spy you listening to the AM radio.

Karen of the Carpenters,
Singing in the rain.
Another lovely victim of the mirror's evil way.

It's not like you're not trying,
With a pencil in your hair,
To defy the beauty the good Lord put in there

Simple little bookworm,
Buried underneath
Is the sexiest librarian.
Take off those glasses and let down your hair for me.

So I watch you through the bookcase,
Imagining a scene.
You and I had dinner,
Spending time when you sleep.
And what can I say to you,
Lying there in bed.
These words were the kiss I would play in your head.

What is it inside our heads
That makes us do the opposite,
Makes us do the opposite
Of what's right for us.
'Cause everything be great,
And everything be good,
And everybody gave,
Like everybody could.

Sweetest little bookworm,
Hidden underneath
Is the sexiest librarian.
Take off those glasses and let down your hair for me.
Take off those glasses, and let down your hair for me.

Simple little beauty,
Heaven in your breath.
Simplest of pleasures
The world at its best

. . .


Look at you:
Such a fine citizen!
Look at you:
Such a glowing example of peace and glory. Glory. Glory.
Of peace and Glory. Glory. Glory.
Let me follow you.

We believe in your power to lead
without fear.
Not about, in some tower,
but here-right down here-... with us
in this world.

Look at you:
everywhere at once.
Look at you:
such a glowing example of peace and glory. Glory. Glory.
Of peace and glory. Glory. Glory.
Let me... let me follow... let me... let me follow you

. . .


You can care if you wanna
You can care if you don't
But c'mon it's a big big world now-
You gotta get what you want.

Got no lack of frustration,
Got no lack of disease...
But c'mon it's a big big world now-
You gotta like what you see... and I do.

Well you can ride, ride, ride on down to the aluminum park.
Well you can ride, ride, ride on down with your head in the dark.
Well, it's a little bit important to me- you get a whole lot of what you need.
So you can ride, ride, ride on down to the aluminum park. RIDE!

(Repeat)

And you can ride, ride, ride on down to the aluminum park.
Well, you can ride on down... Hey!
RIDE!

Have you had enough excitement now
more than you ever did
You never wanted to be treated like a woman
You maintained you was just a kid

Well at least you were of age my dear
these days kids they grow so fast
You never wanted to be committed to the present
You're too busy believing in the past, oh

Who then was your savior
Who then was your friend
Who is now committed to the present
Is it someone that exists

What is life in God?
A perfect vision of the self?
I always thought we was dealing with one thing
Now we are dealing with something else, oh

Do you see my smoking guns?
they're smoking from a shootin'
smoking from shootin'
smokin' from shootin at nothing here

Do you live your life on the road?
Yeah loosing that I'm loving
Asking for nothing
Runnin' from something that isn't there, oh

. . .


If you touch me
Well I just think I'll scream
Cause its been so long
Since someone caressed me

Made me think
That the way things are
Made me think
About the way that you be

I believe in
Love my
Mmmy love oh my love
i don't even know why

ohh this feeling is wonderful
don't you ever turn it off
ohh this feeling is wonderful
don't you ever turn it off

Feeling high on wine
Human beings
Heart beats

I can see it
By the way you smile
I'm smilin' too
I see myself in you

i am with thee
When I am wired (?)
mm alone I'm alone
i dont even know why

oh this feeling is wonderful
don't you ever turn it off
ahh this feeling is wonderful
don't you ever turn it off

ahhhhhohh yeah
hoooooahhhhohh
ooh ohh
ahh

ooohh
ooohh
oohhh
ohhhahhoo
