(Dulli)

eat my imagination
taste my imaginary friend
i know your ass is fine
but i'm the only who one can say...
that it's mine

. . .


(Dulli)

get off that stuff she said
and i'll stone you instead
unchain yourself said she
and tie yourself to me
i'm on the floor
i play with knives
you can call and ask your wife
she's been over once or twice
likes to use me
and i'm her slave
but i don't need no chains
i'll behave
give me more of what i've come to expect
wrap your love around my neck
understand me when i say
you'll deny me

. . .


(Dulli/McCollum/Curley/Earle)

untie the boat and turn on the water
i'm gone, i'm gone, i'm gone
it's alright
untie the boat and turn on the water
i'm gone, i'm gone, i'm gone
it's alright
carry me out deep into the ocean
save me a prayer and let me over the side
untie the boat and turn on the water
i'm gone, i'm gone, i'm gone
but it's alright
and you can hold me down
but don't you let me breathe
let it wash all over me
let it wash all over me
they cut off my head, child and gave it away
and poisoned the people i wanted to save
and left me here dark and rolling around
i'm gone, i'm gone, i'm gone
but it's alright

. . .


(Dulli/McCollum/Curley/Earle)

i smell your blood, my love
but i can't taste it yet
i have your mind, my love
but i can't waste it yet
please understand my love
i find this sickening
my head is ice my love
my skin is thickening
but oh! my love
we could still be friends
and oh! my love
with me you must contend
i'm gonna turn on you before you turn on me
i'm gonna turn on you can you conjure me?
and walk the mile into this web of my conspiracy
i'm gonna turn on you before you turn on me
i'm in a hole
but i don't feel the safety net
i have your soul
but i am wasting it
but oh! my love
we could still be friends
and oh! my love
with me you must contend

. . .


(Dulli/McCollum)

hypnotized by this endless summer
filled with nothing i keep with me
won't let them take this nothing from me
won't let you waste my time for me
i've been a good boy so give it to me
and keep your brothers away from me
they know i took it
they're coming for me
now i can hear them following
we had talked about it for days
it's not supposed to happen this way
don't believe it's getting cold
don't suppose i'm getting bold
shove my head against the door
crawl inside and kiss the floor
waiting for the sun again
drink it smoke it stick it in
if i was going down
taking everybody else around
if i was going down

. . .


I walk around with this all over me
I cannot wash it clean
You've got the ball
You've got the ball i'm taking it from you
And today
It's in the blood
I left it in the blood you see
So put the words together
I'll be with you forever
Get up
We'll rise
They'll pay
And wait until tomorrow night
I can't recall yet if i'm black
Or if i'm white or wrong
Or if i'm white or wrong
I am your creator
Come with me my congregation
Get up i'll smack you back down
Get up
We'll rise
They'll pay
Get up i'll smack you back down
You will become my diamond
I'm yours and you are mine
Get up
We'll rise

. . .


(Dulli)

this is my confession angel
let's not make too much about it
this is my confession angel
let's not make too much about it
don't say a word
don't do a thing
lock yourself inside my dear
this is what i mean
i'm lying now i always do
i know my way around the truth
my need for guilt demands fresh fuel
you've laid your trip upon me now
won't you take me with you
and it was all just meat to me
you were only meat to me
this is my confession angel
let's not make too much about it
this is my confession angel
let's not make too much about it
don't say a word
don't do a thing
don't you move a muscle
worship silence as your king
hide in the dark
block out the light
tricked into believing that the dog wouldn't bite
and it was all just meat to me
you were only meat to me

. . .


(Dulli)

my love don't comfort me
she toys with my sincerity
on that i can depend
i've found that nothing's straight
my twisted mind is bent all out of shape
but you will come back
and you will live on
indeed i know
but you wouldn't lie when i told you to
had to waste your time and tell the truth
this one is three, this is one is three
indeed i know
you got me figured out now
now we're both disappointed
what's done is now undone
let's cut the line and have the action
in time i will be able to give

. . .


Andrew Lloyd Webber--Music
Tim Rice--Lyrics
1970 Leeds Music Ltd.

Moneylenders and Merchants:
Roll on up--for my price is down
Come on in--for the best in town
Take your pick of the finest wine
Lay your bets on this bird of mine
Roll on up--for the price is down
Come on in--for the best in town
Take your pick of the finest wine
Lay your bets on this bird of mine
Name your price I got everything
Come and buy it's going fast
Borrow cash on the finest terms
Hurry now while stocks still last

Jesus:
My temple should be a house of prayer
But you have made it a den of thieves
Get Out! Get Out!

Mine time is almost through
Little left to do
After all I've tried for 3 years, seems like 30, seems like 30...

Crowd:
See my eyes I can hardly see
See me stand I can hardly walk
I believe you can make me whole
See my tongue I can hardly talk
See my skin it's a mass of blood
See my legs I can hardly stand
I believe you can make me well
See my purse I'm a poor poor man
Will you touch will you mend me Christ
Won't you touch will you heal me Christ
Will you kiss you can cure me Christ
Won't you kiss won't you pay me Christ

Jesus:
There's too many of you--don't push me
There's too little of me--don't crowd me, please don't crowd me
(Scream)
Heal Yourselves!

. . .


(Dulli)

all alone, all alone
no one to play with
your eyes are all swollen from crying
feeling sick
you open it
and discover your lover between the legs of another
and he's loving it
let me lie to you
i'll be kind when i deceive you
but you must never question me
just quietly believe
there, there
you haven't a care
i won't ever hurt you, deny or desert you
don't ask me again
wake up! and listen to thee
someone must have told you
someone must control you before you can get free

. . .


(Dulli)

hey, baby there's a vampire moon
scaling the sky
shine in your room
your eyes are open
you got nothing to do
come outside and play with me
tonight
follow me down to the bushes dear
no one will know
we'll disappear
i'll hold your hand
we'll never tell
our private little trip to hell
tonight
can i walk you home tonight?

. . .
