f.n.t.

Fascinating new thing
You delite me
And I know you're speaking of me

Fascinating new thing
Get beside me
I want you to love me

Im surprised that you've never been told before
That you're lovely
And you're perfect
And that somebody wants you

Fascinating new thing
The scene-makin'
Want a temporary saviour
Fascinating new thing
Dont betray them
By becoming familiar

Im surprised that you've never been told before
That you're lovely
And you're perfect
And that somebody wants you

Im surprised that you've never been told before
That you're priceless
And you're precious
Even when you are not new

if i run

Morning comes
And morning goes
Now its me against the sun
Day goes by
And darkness grows
And its over before its done

Well I know it'll be allright if I just get on the road
If I run I can free my worried mind
Yeah I know on the day I die I will lose my heavy load
But I wouldnt want to leave you behind

All my time
Keeps creeping on
Now I've grown into a man
But Mr. child
Still wants to run
From the cradle into the van

Keep thinking it'll be allright if I just get on the road
If I run I can free my worried mind
Keep thinking of the day I die when I loose my heavy load
But I wouldnt want to leave you behind

delicious

You're delicious
When you call me
I've got nothing left to wait for
You're delicious
When you see me
I've got nothing left to pray for

hooo
hooo
yeahyeahyeahyeahyeahyeahyeah
hooo
hooo
yeahyeahyeahyeahyeahyeahyeah

You're delicious
Come and feed me
I've got nothing left to cry for
You're delicious
Oh you sweet thing
You've got something I open wide for

hooo
hooo
yeahyeahyeahyeahyeahyeahyeah

hooo
hooo
yeahyeahyeahyeahyeahyeahyeah

I would give my one last chance to you
Never to wste it
I would give my one lst kiss to you
If you told me that you wanted to taste it

You're delicious
When you call me
I've got nothing left to sigh for
You're delicious
When you SAVE me
I've got nothing left to die for

down in flames

Its not the pain Im used to it
Its feeling like Im already dead
I see from the cieling a misty spirit
Rising froma place in my head
And I never even go to go down
Down in flames

I said friend you have a life to see
Why do you want to scare me so
All this suffering is a mystery to me
I cant even pretend to know
So you'll never even get to go down
Down in flames

We had plans to explore the stars
Be rejected by stage door guards
Mining for gold as the time unreels
Not stifling behind suburban wheels
Not stifling behind suburban wheels

The plan was to burn up when the air was clear
We'd all wear our visors down
An archwelder spark in this atmosphere
Not this man sized hole hole in the ground
Now your fathers face is frozen between anger and tears
Your mothers face amazingly gray
And I'm seeing these friends for the first time in years
Its icicle reunion day

And you never even got to go down
Down in flames
You never even got to go down
Down in flames

across the great divide

Over mountains
That's where my love lives
A long long ride to sunland
Here where I did this

Across the greatdivide
Alone(wondering open afraid and)
Arriving alive
And alone(unknown unwise and unaided)

If I could I might
Send my love on a plane ride
A black cross high in the blue sk
A green cross gliding on a million pines

Across the great divide
Alone wonering open afraid and
Arriving in a life unknown(unknown unwise and unaided)
Across the great divide
Alone(wondering open afraid and)
Try to find a life unknown(unknown unwise and unaided)

temptation

I went to see temptation yesterday
In a fourplex out on the old high drive
Cause something in my life was runaway
Or maybe to prove that I am still alive

Temptation lives laone and she works all day
So I waited till after five on her front porch
She arrived parked her car and she walked my way
She smiled to see me standing at her door

Tell me now how pleasure can be a sin
She turned the key in the lock and let me in
Ah....
Temptation showed me what I shouldnt do
Ah...
Temptation showed me what I shouldndt do

Somewhere in the world tonitght
Two lovers are treating each other right
Somewhere else in a lonely town
One lover waits an endless hour

Driving home in the dark I say this time will be the last
I know what I should never do
At least I'll keep temptations photograph
Maybe hang on to her phone number too

Tell me know how pleasure can be a sin
Well I dont plan to tell anyone where I've been
Ah...
Temptation showed me what I shouldnt do
Ah...
Temptation showed me what I shouldnt do

the prize

The night of a thousand verse
One thousand friends said have you heard
What we expected
We are all working late and
Waiting to win a prize we dont deserve
And live to collect it

Cant you see Im weary
Maybe this news can wait

The night of a thousand verses
One thousand strivers strain to hear
A voice thats left us
And the magazines still have to sell us
Twelve mastergeniuses a year
Its all so shameless

Cant you see Im wavering
Maybe this news can wait
Cant you see Im blurry
Maybe this news can wait

Maybe there was a message in it
I dont know where you hid it
Maybe there was a piece that will fit
I dont know where to fit it
Tell me what kind of prize can you win
When you dont want to win it

Cant you see Im weary
Maybe this news can wait
Cant you see I'm blurry
Maybe this news can wait

no one else

You're the movie star
Of my innerspace
Come to town awhile
Bring your quiet place
Show me how its done
With a wave of your hand
Im destroyed
And Recreated

No one else can make me cry
Like you
You
Love

You're the only one
Who did everything right
Come to play with me
Come to change my mind
Sleepy valium
Lew red light in the wine
Ive been thinking about
The one you left behind

No one else can make me cry
Like you
You
Love

Laughing lost her way
She caught a train to far points north
And left the phone bill on the table in the sun
She'd had enough of her old girl self
Same face same space
She wanted wider fields where she could run
Come on then
Time is getting late
Show me how you
Make it allright

No one else
Can make me cry
Like you
You
Love

brand new baby

Time you needed time out of the mainstream
Out on your only
Alone to find yourself somehow
So Im a bit surprised to see you lately
Beside a brand new baby
But if it makes you happy

I guess thats great
I guess you're not mine
Brand new baby beside you know, oh yeah
I guess thats great
You dont see me crying
And there's nobody to slow you down, oh yeah

If youre feeling sorry try to contain it
You dont need to save me
Dont waste your pity anyhow
And you might like to believe I'm devastated
To see you with another lovin baby
But if it makes you happy now

I guess thats great
I guess youre not mine
Brand new baby beside you now, oh yeah
I guess thats great
You dont see me crying
And theres nobody to slow you down, oh yeah

Sure it fazes me to hear you laughing
Makes me just a little crazy
But I guess it's a great thing
If it makes you happy now

falling (one of my personal all time favorite songs

High above the midway lights
High above the rids, you me and the sky
The whole world looks so small tonight
And you said you never thought we could never really fly

Well if youre right
And were nothing at all
Tell me, why do i keep thinking about you calling
And if youre right
And were nothing at all
Tell me, why do you keep thinking that were falling

Swaying singin at the skywheel top
Then you say that I
Could never make you mine
Well lights rings constellations stop and turn
Kiss me once again and change your mind

If you're right
And were nothing at all
Tell me, why do I keep thinking about you calling
And if youre right
And were nothing at all
Tell me, why do you keep thinking that youre falling

in another life

Hold on tight to what oyu believe in
Hold on to whatever you need, oh yeah
Step inside the sweet illusion
Of another life
In another time

Where its enough to be well meaning
And if oyu crash your plane you can try it again, oh yeah
Well all this time we are believing
In another life
In another time
Well this time Im done waiting
While youre believing
In another life
In another time
Too late Im done waiting I wont be there
In another life
In another time
You always believed we'd mend it later
In another life
In another time
Well Im done waiting

When you finally tend to your blessings
Youd be mistaken to ocunt on me, oh yeah
Because you believed wed do our loving
In another life
Darling

Too late Im done waiting I wont be there
In another life
In another time
You always believed wed mend it later
In another life
In another time
Well Im done waiting

If you come round to see me dont be surprised
Maybe Im out waiting in another life

ill feel for you

If youre afraid to cry
Tiugh you could use it once in a while
Nothin will cloud your eyes
Whe nothings real or getting through
And it seems like youve forgotten how to feel
Call me
Ill feel
For you
And some days youll feel for me too

If youre afraid to smile
Though you could use it just to survive
Theres no where you want to drive
And youre only staying alive
Cause its the thing to do
And it seems like your bells forgotten how to ring
Call me
Ill feel
For you
Call me
Yeah
Call me
Call me
I'll feel
For you
And some days youll feel for me too
