Euro Slow Jam

Where you wanna go tonight
I'll slip into that thing you like
Show off my exotic side
When you say, dance for me girl
Don't be shy
Don't even have to touch you
You know I'm burning up inside
When I get my hands on you
I feel desire come alive
And oh, it's thrilling
This slow embrace
And how I tremble
When you pick up the pace
Set a tempo for me baby
Yeah and I can be your slow jam
Wanna hold hands
I'll take my time when the time is right
And delight in your delight
I wanna be the demon of your dreams
And shake it like I mean it
Like you ain't ever seen it
I'll quicken your pulse when the moment's right
And delight in your delight
Oh yes, I tremble when you pick up the pace
I don't even have to tell you
You know just what I like
Then suddenly you change it up
And make me change my mind
Set a tempo for me baby
Yeah and I can be your slow jam
Wanna hold hands
I'll take my time when the time is right
And delight in your delight
I wanna be the demon of your dreams
And shake it like I mean it
Like you ain't ever seen it
I'll quicken your pulse when the moment's right
And delight in your delight

On and On

I tend to systemize and stabilize the everyday
And so I realize while sanitizing hands that my stay
In hospital bathrooms is much too familiar
As I navigate prostrate hand to splash my face
It's been a space you haven't been well
Six months ago giving 'em hell
And saving lives like mine, mom
Taught me how to be kind
And that love is best bestowed and inspired
With generosity
Think you admired my likeness to my dad
Both me and you know he was cool
But don't sweat I'ma get it
Ten times over compared to him
I won't let a whim
Threaten this compassion that you gave me
And maybe if I'm sitting right here just by
You and I can pass the time in smiles
Let you feel how precious life can be
While we explore the great mystery
That you will enter on ahead of me
Well I'm not quite sure what I believe
But I do preminisce
Or maybe I just wish
This ain't the first time our souls have met
And it won't be the last
The past will stay in my heart you can bet
It's OK to get upset
It's hard to face down death
But we'll face it with you, mom
And carry your spirit on and on
Well I was helpless to heal you
But now empowered to feel, too
You made this woman strong
Enough to carry you on and on
Now you've returned to the spirit
And it's damn hard to hear it
But in every step of this human marathon
I'll bring you along
On and on

War
03:57
|

There might be room for doubt
But there's no time for getting out of town
And so the home turf
Puts me in a short skirt
And wonders why I won't come down
There might be loss of steam
But there's no such thing as clean anyway
And so you rumble
Demand me to be humble
Are you surprised that I won't stay?
There might be one more chance
But I know you and you won't dance
So how the hell can I relate?
I buy the smallest thing
It's a steal, hardly worth considering
But the parts came from a distance
And someone worked for sixpence
And couldn't sleep for all their cares
It might be cheap for me
But the living is killing
My friends across the sea
And there's war underneath your nails
There's war up your sleeves
There's war in what you buy and sell
And in how you treat the disease
There's peace on your smiling lips
But war in your ego
There's war in all the things you won't look in the eye
In all the places you will and will not go

Can't Get Enough For You
04:46
|

Every day I'm moving past
I look away
Every hour I'm thinking something new to say
Every accent
Every imitation
Every day I'm feeling glass
I need to play
Every night I'm dreaming journeys far away
Every action
Every invitation
Every day I'm being asked
Are you OK?
Every week I'm helpless in a hundred ways
Every caption
Every explanation
I can't get enough for you
I can't get enough for you
I couldn't get enough of you
I never will be done with you
In the morning
In the early afternoon
Minutes pass but never short and never soon
No attention
None of it to cling to
In the evening
Hurrying to some display
Hours pass but never seem to fly away
No exception
None of them to make excuse
I'll never be there for you
I'll never catch up with you
I'll never be enough for you
I couldn't get enough of you
I can't get enough of you
I, it wouldn't be enough for you
I can't get enough for you
I wonder what it meant to you
Such a subtle difference between
Being elevated into
A Hollywood romance scene
And succumbing to the gravity
Of a planet-sized personality
I'll never be there for you
I'll never catch up with you
I'll never be enough for you
I couldn't get enough of you
I can't get enough of you
I, it wouldn't be enough for you
I can't get enough for you
I wonder what it meant to you

Les Deux Vies
04:04
|

Occupée, ouai, à pensant, engagée
On se met les mains aux quelques projets
Au matin, levée tôt, jamais assez
Des heures ou des journées
Dépêches-toi ou au revoir, c’est bien ça
La devise des villes, le questiones pas
Mais grâce à l’univers quand le soleil est bas
Le sauvage arrivera
Nous vraiment adorons
Dancer, bavarder
Pour éviter la folie
On souscrit à deux vies
La prescription est arrivée
Flattez, jouez, manoeuvrez, répétez
Soyez sage mais ne le définissez pas
Ou on vous prendra comme risqués
On ne rend guère compte que
En dessous son psyché fragmente
Quel courage au barrage de tourmente
Heureusement, la soirée, on le sent
Nous vraiment adorons
Dancer, bavarder
Pour éviter la folie
On souscrit à deux vies
C’est l’heure de rester
On s’enfuit pour chercher de la paix
Suis bien de la force et de la santé
Si pas pourquoi les maîtres t'ont cultivée?
Tu rêves peut-être à se diriger
Sans à personne falloir demander
Hésite pas c’est à toi de trouver le clé
La vie n’est que les possibilités
Quel pays des merveilles
L'idée de vivre chaque journée
En répondant sans peur
Aux appels de nos coeurs
Nous vraiment adorons
Dancer, bavarder
Pour éviter la folie
On souscrit à deux vies

Trade Places with Me
03:23

Trade places with me
Hate to be away
Faded memories
Well I can see you there in two dimensions
Hear the sound of you
But it's just not the same
So trade places with me
Surely you will see
I'm fading fast here without you
But if we trade your place for mine
For sure we'll still be loving blind
But I'll take comfort knowing you
Are there occupying the space I once filled
While I sink into where your warmth lingers still
And if I awaken to an empty pillow there
Won't it be so nice to at least smell your hair
Trade places with me
Pull the words apart
In little agonies
Well I perceive the hints you leave
The broadcast I almost believe
But it's not quite the same
Trade places with me
Take the space was mine
Revel in the energy
For if we trade your place for mine
It might just serve to pass the time
And it would be a joy to see
Are there occupying the space I once filled
While I sink into where your warmth lingers still
And if I awaken to an empty pillow there
Won't it be so nice to at least smell your hair
Separated by so much space
Put me right there in your place
Struggling to pass the time
Come and take this place of mine
Trade places with me
Hate to be away
Faded memories
Well I can see you there in two dimensions
Hear the sound of you
But it's just not the same
So trade places with me
Surely you will see
I'm fading fast here without you
But if we trade your place for mine
For sure we'll still be loving blind
But I'll take comfort knowing you . . .
I can see you there in two dimensions
Hear the sound of you
But it's just not the same
