LYRICS

Kiss and Tell
Yeah girl, I like your smell,
And u move like an animal;
You keep saying “Let’s get outa here–
Get long gone, get it on...”

I wanna do it to,
Wanna make sweet luv to you;
But I’m gonna need convincing–
You got convincing to do...

Do you Kiss and Tell?
Do you Kiss and Tell?

Yeah girl, you’re really naughty,
Pretty face and a killer body;
You keep saying how it’s gonna be,
But that’s not enough for me.

Whisper in my ear
The magic words I like to hear,
So we can make it crystal clear–

Do you Kiss and Tell?
Keep a secret well?
Do you Kiss and Tell?

You know you’re makin’ my ice melt,
And I ain’t hollerin’ for help.
So what I’m a notch on your belt–
As long as you don’t tell;
Do you do it? 

Do you Kiss and Tell?
Keep a secret well?

Yeah girl, I like your smell
And u move like an animal;
Why don’t we get on out of here–
Get long gone, get it on...


No Regrets
Never say sorry
For what u haven’t done.
There’s no glory
In bowing down to anyone;
Burnin’ shame
Under the crimson sun
Is swept away
By the coolin’ shade
And a kiss,
In the pouring rain.

Rise or fall
Standin’ tall–
And no regretting
When you’ve got
Your back against a wall
There’s no regretting,
No Regrets at all.

The road is short
And it heads in just one way.
The ride is fast
And it keeps getting faster every day.
A friend who’s gone
Always used to say,
“Every morning a coffee,
A pack of cigarettes,
And no regretting–

Rise or fall
Standin’ tall–
And no regretting
When you’ve got
Your back against a wall
There’s no regretting,
No Regrets at all.


Shooting Star
The clock is ticking too loud tonight–
Measuring the dark and stifling
Silence.
A million thoughts go rushing
Through this restless mind;
So much to do,
And so little time.

No consolation in the pages of a book–
The story line
It isn’t mine;
I turn to look
Through the window,

Where a shooting star
Dances across the night–
Jumps from the canvass
In a trail of light;
You’ve made your mark.

Too young to feel like I’m standing still;
Too old to keep pretending
There’s a lot of time to kill.
There’s gotta be something
Great in me that’s locked inside;
Something I
Can leave behind.

No consolation in a television show–
The story line
It isn’t mine;
I need my own...
Through the window,

There’s a shooting star
Dancing across the night–
It Jumps from the canvass
In a trail of light;
You’ve made your mark,
Shooting star--
You’ve made your mark
Shooting star.


Let it Go
Don’t you tell me,
Don’t tell me you feel
The same way.
I had put you behind me
To keep my sanity;
And lived my life while I pretended
This broken heart had finally mended–
No...it’s hard to let go.

Let it go, Let it go.
This was not supposed to happen.
Let it go, my love.

Time moves, things change,
But some things won’t change
With a kiss.
I have carved out a life from stone,
The knife was my very own;
So don’t disturb this work I’ve made.
You’ll never know the price I’ve paid–
Oh no, it’s hard to let go.

Let it go, Let it go.
This was not supposed to happen.
Let it go, my love, let it go.

Though it hurts me to see you cry
There’s nothing we can do this time.
You’ve waken what I thought had died,
So cut it loose, and let it fly;
I know
It’s hard to let go...

Let it go, Let it go.
This was not supposed to happen.
Let it go, my love,
Let it go.


Crumble
Downtown, it's so hot and humid;
But the sweat above my brow
Is there 'cause you could
Break me
With a word tonight,
Or take me
On your passion flight.

You could crush me in your hands whenever you want,
And you could make me crumble.
Still the earth that quakes as if you were a gentle god...
Or you could make me crumble.

The city tears your soul away;
It builds a fence
Of false confidence
That I hide behind.
Surrounded by walls and concrete,
Hoping you
Won't get through,
Afraid you'll see my weakness
And desperation.

You could crush me in your hands whenever you want,
And you could make me crumble.
Still the earth that quakes as if you were a gentle god...
Or you could make me crumble.

Careful,
Be careful with me;
I could crumble--
Crumble to pieces.


Dragonfly
Oh lonesome dragonfly charging the light;
What makes you start on this desperate flight?
What’s wrong–what’s wrong?

See in the glass a familiar face?
It isn’t you, tell me what do you chase
It for–what for?

Bounce off the window
Keep on looking
For a hole in the screen door;
You will find it–
It takes time
But you will find your way out...

Oh lonesome dragonfly
Rest on the wall.
Gather your strength
Until finally you crawl,
And fly
Away.

Bounce off the window
Keep on looking
For a hole in the screen door;
You will find it–
It takes time
But you will find your way out...


The Craze
You say u luv me, I say I luv me too.
Maybe you got it wrong–
I just like parts of u...
And I guess u figured out that I don’t gotta lotta class
And that I didn’t come to visit, I came to see your
Assinine cat.

Some people call it the craze,
But it’s a permanent phase;
Some people call it the craze,
And we’ve got it, man.

I’m just a victim, a victim of the city,
The city took my innocence,
Now isn’t that a pity–
Everybody’s a hero in their own mind,
They got plastic parts and porcelain teeth,
They’re posin’ all the time.
We’re just a bunch of animals in a concrete zoo
Where they tell us not to drink or smoke 
And doin’ it screws u...
I can’t take it anymore...

Some people call it the craze,
But it’s a permanent phase;
Some people call it the craze,
And we’ve got it, man.

I’m tired of being used and I’m tired of being the loser,
I want to be the king today,
I want to be the user.
I’m so very sorry what u get is what u see,
But from now on it’s gonna be,
Me, me, and more of me...


The Actor
Be careful they don’t take you in
Into their eyes and charming grins–
They’ll make u laugh; they’ll make u cry–
And when they’re done, they’ve wrung u dry.

An actor is dangerous–
Their costumes are easily changed–
Dangerous actor...I thought u should know
That an actor puts on a good show.

It’s your attention and applause
They’re looking for; it’s not because
They ever wanted to hurt you:
It’s in their nature; they have to.

An actor is dangerous–
His costume is easily changed–
Dangerous actor...I thought u should know
That an actor puts on a good
Show—I bet you thought this would never happen;
Oh, you look so suprised.
Oh, I told u that he wears a mask,
Oh, it’s all a disguise.

Goodbye, I’m gone; goodbye, I’m leaving
Goodbye, I’m sorry, there’s nothing to say.
I said you gotta stay away, gotta stay away
From an actor.

An actor is dangerous–
Her costume is easily changed–
Dangerous actor...I thought u should know
That an actor puts on a good show.


Dorian Gray
Look at that photograph,
It’s hard to believe
That wide eyed and innocent
Young man was me.
Took such a liking to
All that is flesh;
Found that virtue is
Hard to possess.

More every day–I’m looking like the picture
Of Dorian Gray–Dorian Gray.
The sins I have done, and the cruel things I say
Are written on my face
Like Dorian Gray.

Discarded anyone he tired of;
Used all the others
And the ones that he loved,
The ones that he loved.

Why can’t that photograph
Yellow and fade--
Hidden in a corner
While I stay the same,
While I stay the same.

More every day–I’m looking like the picture
Of Dorian Gray–Dorian Gray.
The sins I have done, and the cruel things I say
Are written on my face
Like Dorian Gray,
Like Dorian Gray.
