Sting me
Remedy
Thorn in my pride
Bad luck blue eyes goodbye
Sometimes salvation
Hotel illness
Black moon creeping
No speak no slave
My morning song
Time will tell
Sting me
If you feel like riot, then don't you deny it
Put your good foot forward
No nedd for heroics I just want you to show it
Now's the time to shine
Your independence is half ass deliverance
The train left the station
The recognition of the same old condition
Your symptoms showing through

Well regardless of the truth
You still act so aloof
In the face of your judge and jury
You have the nerve to say not guilty

But can you sting me
Can you sting me
Right to my roten bones

Well the bells ring out for the crime of the century
But courtesy of your mother
The sign read welcome to hte valley of discovery
Look at what money can buy
Sons and daughters better open your eyes
Tell me what you're seeing
This submission is a tired tradition
It's everyone's sacrifice

Well believe you me
I've got nothing up my sleeve
Except a heart and a chip on my shoulder
Yes I'm young and I don't like getting older

Yeah but can you sting me
Can you sting me
Right to my roten bones

Come on sweet little thing
What new things can you show me today
I got one question
I believe it's subjective
What is a wasp without her sting ?

I don't want to sound bitter
Yeah you touch me just like murder
Living ain't so easy
When all I want from you is to sting me

Can you sting me

Remedy
Baby, baby why can't you sit still ?
Who killed that bird out on your window sill ?
Are you the reason that he broke his back ?
Did I see you laugh about that ?
If I come on like a dream ?
Would you let me show you what I mean ?
If you let me come on inside ?
Will you let it glide ?

Can I have some reledy ?
Remedy for me please
Cause if I had a remedy
I'd take enough to please me

Baby, baby why did you dye your hair ?
Why you always keeping with your mother's dare ?
Baby why's who's who, who knows you too ?
Did the other children scold on you ?

If i come on like a dream ?
Would you let me show you what I mean ?
If you let me come on inside ?
Will you let it slide ?

Thorn in my pride
Wake me when the breaks
Show me how the sun shines
Tell me about your heartaches
Who could be so unkind ?
Do you dream to touch me ?
And smile down deep inside
Or could you just kill me ?
It's hard to make up your mind sometimes

My angels, my devils, a thorn in my pride

Are you wanting inspiration 
You spill your secrets on me
Then you tell me with a whisper
Of things that will never be
Do you hear me breathing ?
Does it make you want to scream ?
Did you ever like a bad dream ?
Sometimes life is obscene

My angels, my devils, a thorn in my pride
Lover cover me with your sleep
Let your love light shine
Lover cover me with a good dream
Let your love light shine
				
top

Bad luck blue eyes goodbye
With my winter time
My idols and stage fright
In another night
Where the lights are loud and bright

One dream for waking up saved
Too shy to hold in the rage

I know no luxury
Of knowing what your eyes read
I know one million ways
To always pick the wrong thing to say

A love that never gave
Always a time zone away
It's not out of spite
I know whats right

Bad luck blue eyes goodbye

Sometimes a memory
Only sees what it wants to believe
And what's filled in between
Are days and nights that don't mean a thing

Such a simple suicide
A second chance never tried
And you don't understand
I need a helping hand

So you think that you've seen it all
Is that a fact ?
So out your mouth a dictionary
Spout about this and that
You got your do's, your don'ts
Because and why
I don't trust noone who don't
Take their own advice

Bad luck blue eyes

Sometimes salvation
To lessen my troubles
I stopped hanging out with vultures
And empty saviours like you
I wish I had a nickel for every miracle
That you easily tricked me into

You can lead a horse to water
But faith is another matter
So don't you surrender
Cause sometimes salvation
In the eyes of a storm

I've no time for accusations
Or conversation on al the bad, bad things you do
Just a note from your jailor
Drugs and the relation
To all the people around you

You can lead a horse to water
But faith is another matter
So don't you surrender
Cause sometimes salvation
In the eye of the storm

I've kept secret your superstitions
And all its twisted wisdom
That I fell into
Sister can you try to find me ?

Hotel illness
Oh good heaven, baby where's my medecine ?
I must have let it outside with my etiquette
The undertaker's rule of thumb
It's hard to talk with a novocaine tongue

This room smells like hotel illness
The scars I hide are now your business
I can't seem to make hair nor hide of this
No baby love is not a punishment

Hypnotize by your Rotten behavior
This week's fashion is last year flavor
I got a head full of sermons and mouth full of spiders
The politics of the world's greatest liar

So tell me is it true all the things that
They say about you...

Black moon creeping
Spleeping eyes sleep awhile
And let me get to know your language
If I believe all I see
I would hate to be around for the dawn
Sleeping eyes stay awhile
And give me some cause to rejoice
A parody of the scene
Where my three wishes were granted to me
What you got buried ? In your backyard
What secret do you sleep with, when your black moon come ?

Sleeping eyes please come clean
I'm not giving you the third degree
When you live with no man's time
Ain't it hard to find peace of mind
Sleeping eyes don't you cry
And don't pretend this is not an ending
Your story yes it seems
Has been swept out with the leaves
				
top

No speak no slave
Rooster crows at the break of dawn
A mother dies without her only son
a doctor laughs at the face of desease
I never heard a preacher say please

And you, you want to be heard
But none of us understand a word
And you, you want to be free
Then don't speak like a slave to me

Policemen who break the law
Pöliticians rise and fall
A baby crying for his mother's milk
A dady's secret hidden guilt

And you, you want to be heard
But none of us understand a word
And you, you want to be free
Then don't speak like a slave to me

My morning song
Dizzy found me last night
Saw some kind of new light

I woke up in a whirlwind
Just you watch my head spin
The spectacle that make you cry
It's a thrill, a minute plane ride
It's over time at ring side, no lie

March me down to the seven seas
Bury me with a ruby ring
Kiss me babny on an the Easter Sunday day
Make my haze blow away

I hide I seek and I find
Truth in a fable faith in a rhyme
So why you want to bad talk me
Are you surprised by what we see ?
Like the tables and the tides turn
On my bed the emperor worm
Is that enough for me, could be

If music got to free your mind
Just let it go cause you never know, you never know
If your rythm ever falls out of time
You can bring it to me and I will make it alright
And if your soul is let go
Oh you never know, no you you never know
And if your heart is beating free
For the very first time it'll be alright

Time will tell

A Bob Marley song

JAH would never give the power to a baldhead
Run come crucify the dread

Time alone, oh! time will tell
Think you're in heaven, but you living in hell
Think you're in heaven, but you living in hell (repeat)
Time alone, oh! time will tell
You think you're in heaven, but you living in hell

Back them up, oh not the brothers,
But the ones, who set them up

Time alone, oh! time will tell
Think you're in heaven, but you living in hell
Think you're in heaven, but you living in hell (repeat)
Time alone, oh! time will tell
You think you're in heaven, but you living in hell

Oh children weep no more
Oh my sycamore tree, saw the freedom tree
Oh children weep no more
Weep no more, children weep no more

JAH would never give the power to a baldhead
Run come crucify the dread

Time alone, oh! time will tell
Think you're in heaven, but you living in hell
Think you're in heaven, but you living in hell (repeat)
Time alone, oh! time will tell
You think you're in heaven, but you living in hell
