Pantala Naga Pampa

Come and relax now
Leave your troubles down
No need to bear the weight of your worries here
Let them all fall away

 

Rapunzel

Ha, open wide
All so good I'll eat you
Take me for a ride
In your sweet delicious,
Perfect, little mouth
There upon I linger
There will be no doubt
That I do my best for you
I do, ow...

Let's stop to get it going
Lost myself just thinking
About the two of us
From each other drinking
Begin with the lips
Fingertip and kissing
You know this, my love
That I do my best for you

Ooh, ha, up and down we go
From the top you push me
This is such a thrill
To be lost in love and dancing
Shake your tambourine
You blow my head open
Oh, you know, my love
That I do my best for you
I do...

For you I would crawl
Through the darkest dungeon
Climb a castle wall
If you're my Rapunzel
You let your hair down
Right in through the window
Good, they locked the door
'Cause I do my best for you

I do the world of you
With all of my heart I do
There's blood through my veins for you
You alone have all of me
From you my strength is full
To you I will be true

Um, oh, it's just too good to be real
The smell of something cooking
You're my soul to steal
While on the food of love we're filling
What you've given me
For it there's no measure
Now you know my love
That I'll give my best for you

I think the world of you
With all of my heart I do
There's blood through my veins for you
You alone have all of me
From you my strength is full
To carry your burdens, too
I think the world of you
Yeah...

Hip lock up so tight
Good God, you drive me crazy
Crazy is alright
With you looking at me
You make me feel high
Every single thing you do to me
My God, I'm drunk
But I do my best for you, I do...

There's no place to go
Given me, given me the shivers

 

Rhyme & Reason

Oh well, oh well, so here we stand
But we stand for nothing
My heart calls to me in my sleep
I cannot turn to it
I'm all locked up in this
Dark place -- and I do not know
I'm as good as dead
My head aches -- I'm warped and tied up
I need to kill this pain

My head won't leave my head alone
I don't believe it will
'Til I'm dead and gone
My head won't leave my head alone
And I don't believe it will
'Til I'm six feet underground

How long I'm tied up
My mind in knots, my stomach reels
In concern, what I might do or
What I've done
Got me living in fear
Well, I know these voices must
Be my soul
I've had enough
I've had enough
Of being alone
But I've got no place to go

My head won't leave my head alone
And I don't believe it will
'Til I'm dead and gone
My head won't leave my head alone
I don't believe it will
'Til I'm six feet underground
In my grave
Lying, trapped shut and wired in my grave
Reason, leave it to me to waste here

I'm here, here I'm again
I'm tied in knots, my stomach reels
In concern with what I might do or
What I've done
It's got me tied up and living in fear
But why do I drink and drink and smoke
To reason, to reason with my head anyway?
The needle to the vein
Needle to the vein
Take this needle from my vein my friend
I say...

My head won't leave my head alone
I don't believe it will
'Til I'm dead and gone
My head won't leave my head alone
I don't believe it will
'Til I'm six feet underground

Talking to myself
A TV blares
Oh man, oh how I wish I didn't smoke
Or drink to reason with my head
But sometimes this thick confusion
Grows until I cannot bare it all
In my grave
Lying, trapped shut and wired in my grave
Reason -- my reason
Take my head off this terror
I'm rading, I'll come back
My mind's all wiped clean
But the needle is my great escape
I'll see the cold in time
My head now leaves me behind
I seem caught, caught in...
I see Heaven
Yeah

 

The Stone

I've this creeping
Suspicion that things here are not as they seem
Oh, reassure me
Why do I feel as if I'm in too deep?
Oh, I've been praying
For some way to show them
I'm not what they see
Oh, I have done wrong
But what I did I thought needed be done
I swear

Oh, unholy day
If I leave now I might get away
God knows it weighs on me
As heavy as stone and as blue as I go

I was just wondering if you'd come along
Hold up my head when my head won't hold on
I'll do the same if the same's what you want
But if not I'll go
I will go alone

I'm a long way
Oh, from that fool's mistake
And now forever pay
No, run
I will run and I'll be ok

But I was just wondering if you'd come along
Hold up my head when my head won't hold on
And I'll do the same if the same's what you want
But if not I'll go
I will go alone

I go a long way
To bury the past for I don't want to pay
Oh, how I wish this
To turn back the clock, do it all over again

I was just wondering if you'd come along
Hold up my head when my head won't hold on
And I'll do the same if the same's what you want
But if not I'll go
I will go alone

I need so
To stay in your arms, see you smile, hold you close
God, how it weighs on me
As heavy as stone and a bone chilling cold
I was just wondering if you'd come along
Just tell me you will.

Let it all fall down...
Let it all fall out...

 

#41

Come and see
I swear by now I'm playing time against my troubles, oh
Oh, I'm coming slow but speeding
Do you wish one dance and while I'm in the front
My play on time is won
Oh, but the difficulty is coming here

I will go in this way
Oh, I'll find my own way out
I won't tell you what to be
Oh no, but I'm coming to much more
Me
All at once the ghosts come back
Reeling in you now
Oh, tell me, what if they came down crushing
It used to be, that you and me played
For all the loneliness that nobody notices now
I'm begging slow I'm coming here
Only waiting
I wanted to stay,
I wanted to play,
I wanted to love you

I'm only this far
And only tomorrow leads the way

I'm coming waltzing back and moving into your head
Please, I wouldn't pass this by
Oh no, but I wouldn't take more than I need
What sort of man goes by
Well, I will bring you water
Why won't you ever be glad?
It melts into wonder
But I came in praying for you
Why won't you run
Into the rain and play?
Let the tears splash all over you

 

Crash Into Me

You've got your ball,
You've got your chain
Tied to me tight, tie me up again.
Who's got their claws
In you my friend?
Into your heart I'll beat again
Sweet like candy to my soul
Sweet you rock,
And sweet you roll
Lost for you, I'm so lost for you

Oh, and you come crash into me
And I come into you
I come into you, yeah
In a boy's dream
In a boy's dream

Ooh, touch your lips just so I know
Oh, in your eyes, love, it glows so
I'm bare-boned and crazy... for you.

Oh, and you come crash into me, yeah
Baby, I come into you
In a boy's dream
In a boy's dream
Oh, yeah...

Oh, now I've gone overboard
And I'm begging you
To forgive me, lord
In my haste
When I'm holding you so girl,
Close to me

Oh and you come crash into me, yeah
Baby, I come into you

Oh, hike up your skirt a little more
And show the world to me, baby
Hike up your skirt a little more
And show the world to me
In this boy's dream

Oh, I watch you there
Through the window
And I stare at you
You wear nothing, but you
Wear it so well
Tied up and twisted,
The way I'd like to be
For you, for me, come crash into me, oh yeah
Come crash into me, baby

Crash into me...
Crash into me...

You know it, I'm the king of the castle,
You're the dirty rascal, crash into me.
I'll say crash into me, baby...
Well, I am swimming in your seas and in your oceans
I can feel the waves crash into me

Oh yes, I see the waves, come and crash into me
Oh yes, I feel the waves, come and crash into me.

I will be your Dixie chicken
If you'll be my Tennessee lamb
And we can walk together
Down in Dixie land.

Crash into me...
Crash into me...

Oh, and you come and crash into me, yeah

 

Jimi Thing

Lately I've been feeling low
A remedy is what I'm seeking
I take a taste of what's below
Come away to something better
What I want is what I've not got
But what I need is all around me
I reach and search and never stop
And I'll say...

If you could keep me floating just for a while
'Til I get to the end of this tunnel called... brother
If you could keep me floating just for a while
I'll get back to you

Well, sometimes a Jimi Thing
Slides my way and keeps me swinging
I'd like to show you what's inside
Yeah, but I sure don't care if you do or don't like it
Brother chaos rules all about
Well, sometimes I take a walk there
God knows, sometimes I take a taxi
Shouldn't care, I shouldn't care
Bereaved as I'm feeling

The day is gone, I'm on my back
Staring up at the ceiling
Well, I take a drink, sit back, and relax
Smoke my kind, makes me feel
Better for a small time
What I want is what I've not got
But what I need is all around me
I reach and search and never stop
And I'll say...

If you could keep me floating just for a while
'Til I get to the end of this tunnel called... Jimi
If you could keep me floating just for a while
I'll get back to you

Well, sometimes my Jimi Thing
Slides my way and keeps me swinging
I'd like to show you what's inside
Yeah, but I sure don't care, oh, if you do or don't like it
Brother chaos rules all about
Yeah, sometimes I take a walk there
God knows, sometimes I take a taxi
Shouldn't care, I shouldn't care
Bereaved as I'm feeling

Lately I've been feeling low
And a remedy's what I'm looking for
Cooking for
Man, I take a taste of what's below
Come away...

If you could keep me floating just for a while
'Til I get to the end of this tunnel called... sister
If you could keep me floating just for a while
I'll get back to you

Well, sometimes a Jimi Thing
Slides my way and keeps me swinging
I'd like to show you what's inside
No, but I sure don't care, oh, if you do or don't like it
Brother chaos rules all about
Well, sometimes I take a walk there
God knows, sometimes I take a bus there
Shouldn't care, I shouldn't care
Bereaved as I'm feeling

 

#36

Honey, honey, come and dance with me
Honey, honey, come and dance with me

Oh, I say, oh, look here
Oh, it's a lovely night
And I feel fine, I feel alright tonight
And I see you there
I remember callin' love
Facing, oh, sittin' by yourself
But I don't want to see you blue, no
I don't want to see you in the corner by yourself
Come on now, girl, lovely, lovely, lady
How 'bout you, how 'bout you, how 'bout you
Come and dance with me?

Honey, honey, come and dance with me
Honey, honey, come and dance with me...

Boyd...

(Scat lesson)

Boyd...

Honey, honey, come and dance with me
Honey, honey, come and dance with me...

Honey, honey, come and dance with me
Honey, honey, come and dance with me...

Oh, I love tonight
I must go sit down, take the girl of the night
To warm you up
How much time, how much time
Should I take from the night
To warm you up?

Sweet honey, honey, come and dance with me
Honey, honey, come and dance with me...

Honey, honey, come and dance with me
Honey, honey, come and dance with me...

 

Warehouse

Hey, reckless mind
Don't throw away your playful beginnings
You and I will fumble around in the touches
And be sure to...

Leave all the lights on
Yeah, the black cat changing colors
And you can walk under ladders
And swim as the tide turns you around and around now

Hey we have found
Becoming one in a million
Slip into the crowd
This question I found in the gap in the sidewalk

Keep all your sights on
Yeah, the black cat changing colors
And you can walk under ladders
And swim as the tide choose to turn you

And here I sit
Life goes on, end of tunnel, TV set
Spot in the middle
Static fade, statistical bit
And soon I'll fade away, I'll fade away, oh

But this I admit
Seems so good, hard to believe an end to it
Well, touch, feel
How could this rhythm ever quit?
Bags packed on a plane
Hopefully to Heaven, away...

Shutup, I'm thinking
I had a clue now it's gone forever
Sitting over these bones
You can read in whatever you're needing to

Keep all your sights on
The big bad black cat that's
Changing colors

But it's not the colors that matter
Just that we all fade away

And here...
Life goes on, end of tunnel, TV set
Spot in the middle
Static fade, statistical bit
Soon I'll fade away, I'll fade away, here

But this I admit
Seems so good
Hard to believe an end to it
The Warehouse is bare
Nothing at all inside of it
The walls and halls have disappeared, they've all disappeared

My love I love to stay here
My love I love to stay here
My love I love to stay here
My love I love to stay here...
In a day we were walking
Many things could be better than this
But why should we worry?
Surely nothing could be worse for you and for me
Here in the Warehouse
In the Warehouse...
Every man and woman get alive...

That's my blood down there
Seen poured from the hands of angels
And trickles into the ground
Leaves the Warehouse so bare and empty
Oh, then my heart's numbered beat
Still echo in this empty room, you know
And the fear wells in me
And nothing seems big enough to stay
So I'm going away
I'm going away...

 

Too Much

Whoo, straight in, suck up and go
Cool it, swallow, swallow
Pow, breathe deep, take it all
It comes cheap
I push it through the door
'Cause in between the lines
I'm gonna pack more lines
So I can get that thing

Mmm, traffic jam got more cars
Than a beach got sand
Now suck it up, lick it up, fill it up,
Till I got room for no more
I'm no crazy creep, I got it coming to me, but I'm not satisfied
The hunger keeps on growin'

I eat too much
I drink too much
I want too much
Too Much

Well, ya know, got to get it somewhere
I mean, you never know, oh, maybe I'm dreaming
Who ya think you're watching
Who ya think you need
Play for me, play more
Ten times in the same day
I need more, I'm going
Over my borders
Gonna take more
More from you, letter by letter

I eat too much
I drink too much
Want too much
Too Much

I told God, comin' to your country
Gonna eat up your children,
Your homes, you know
I got a stomach full
I got chip on my shoulders
I've got this growl in my tummy
And I'm gonna stop it today

I eat too much
I drink too much
I want too much
Too Much

Hey...

Suck it up, suck it up
Suck it up, suck it up, suck it up, yeah...
Suck it up, suck it up
Fuck it up, fuck it up, fuck it up, baby...

'Cause I eat too much
I drink too much
Just want too much
Too Much

Drink too much
Eat too much
Want too much
Too Much.

Two Step

So we're leaving
Friends of mine, brothers and sisters
Hoping that in times of trouble
And that we can lean a bit more
But lately, I swear, nightmare dreams
Are welling in me
And this ship is troubled
All because this ship we're on is sinking...

Hey, my love, I came to you with best intentions
You laid down and gave to me just what I'm seeking
Oh say, my love, you drive me to distraction

Oh, my love, do you believe that we might last a thousand years
Or more if not for this,
Our flesh and blood
It ties you and me right up
Tie me... celebrate...

Celebrate we will
'Cause life is short but sweet for certain
Hey, we climb on two by two
To be sure these days continue
Things we cannot change

Oh, my love, you came to me like wine comes to this mouth
Grown tired of water all the time
You quench my heart and, love, you quench my mind
Let's celebrate

Celebrate we will
'Cause life is short but
Sweet for certain
Hey, we climb on two by two
To be sure these days continue
Things we can...
Right up, today
Celebrate we will
Oh, 'cause life is short but
Sweet for certain
We climb on two by two, to be sure
That all these days continue
Things we cannot change

Hey, my love, I came to you
With best intentions
You, you laid down and gave to me
Just what I'm seeking
Oh say, come on, let's celebrate with me

Celebrate we will
Oh, 'cause life is short
But sweet for certain
We climb on two by two
To be sure that all these days continue
Things we can...
Oh, yeah...

Oh, we climb on two by two
Oh no, just to be sure
That all these days continue
Things we have not changed
Away...

Granny

Hello, how are you doing today?
I hope I find you feeling healthy
I'm so glad our paths crossed this time today
On our way into the night

Oh, we find love, it's hiding there, in the shadows, in the darkness
Baby, it's you and I, could bring it to the light
Love, when I approach the tears they fall like rain, you tell me
Baby, your heart into a thousand pieces dashed

Stop, only old and wise, with clouded eyes
You can't see what I can
But I blindly throw my faith to the face
Of the next pretty girl that comes my way

So here we are all of us stand around
We're leaning heavy on each other
Always wondering what is it lies behind
The worried eyes of the woman that I love

I believe it's love, it's hiding there, inside you and inside me
Baby, the two of us can bring it to the light
Love, when I approach the tears they fall like rain, you tell me
Baby, your heart into a thousand pieces dashed

Stop, only old and wise, with clouded eyes
You can't see what I can
But I blindly throw my faith to the face
Of the next good thing that comes my way

I say it's love, it's inside here, it comes on out, share it with some
Baby, you and I could bring it to the light
Love, when I approach these tears they fall like rain, you tell me

Baby, your heart into a thousand pieces...

Love...

Baby...

 

Stay (Wasting Time)

We were walking
Oh, just the other day, yeah
It was so hot outside
You could fry your brain
I remember you were talking
And I watched as sweat ran down your face
Oh, I reached up and I caught it at your chin
Licked my fingertips

We were, we were wasting time
Let the hours roll by
Doing nothing for the fun
A little taste of the good life
Whether right or wrong
Makes us wanna stay, stay, stay, stay for awhile

And then later on the sun began to fade
Oh, and then the clouds rolled over our heads
It began to rain
Oh, we were dancing mouths open
You were splashing in the tongue taste
And for a moment this good time would never end
You and me
You and me

Just wasting time
I was kissing you,
You were kissing me love
From a good day into the moonlight
Now a night so fine
Makes us wanna stay, stay, stay, stay for awhile

Makes you wanna...
Makes me wanna...
Don't it make you wanna?


Just wasting time
I shall miss this thing
When it all rolls by
What a day...
Wanna stay, stay, stay, stay for awhile

Hey love
Oh, just groping you
Rolling in the mud
Stay a while
Come on (come on, love)
Wanna stay, stay, stay, stay for awhile

Makes me wanna, makes me wanna stay

Makes me wanna, makes me wanna stay... don't it?
Make you wanna stay... don't it?

 

#40

Tables turned again
On you, my friend
You and I face each other
All time and time out

I know it's sometimes hard
But not in just
That we will get along
Until we're old and grey
And huddled up
And doubled up, we'll say...

And laugh of times were hard
Laugh of times when we thought all
Would end it all, it's over
And then again

And though all I know is this way
And to leave you
Well, I'd die
Oh, my friend
It will be you until the end with me, always

Always...

 

Long Black Veil

Ten years ago, on a cold, dark night
Someone was killed beneath the town hall light
There were few at the scene
But they all agreed
That the slayer who ran
Looked a lot like me

She walks these hills in a Long Black Veil
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me

The judge said, "Son, what is your alibi?
If you were somewhere else,
Then you won't have to die."
Well, I said not a word
Though it meant my life
For I'd been in the arms
Of my best friend's wife

Oh, she walks these hills in a Long Black Veil
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me

Oh now, the scaffold was high
Eternity is near
She stood in the crowd
And shed not a tear

Oh, sometimes at night
When the cold winds blow
In a Long Black Veil
She stands over my bones

She walks these hills in a Long Black Veil
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me

She walks these hills in a Long Black Veil
She visits my grave when the night winds wail
Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me
Nobody knows, nobody sees, nobody knows but me

Nobody knows but me...

Nobody knows...
Nobody knows...
Nobody knows... but me.



Don't Drink The Water

Come out, come out, no use in hiding.
Come now, come now, can you not see
There's no place here, what were you expecting?
Not room for both, just room for me.

Say you will lay your arms down,
Yes, I will call this home.

Away, away, you have been banished.
Your land is gone, and given to me.

And here I will spread my wings.
Yes, I will call this home.

What's this you say, you feel the right to remain?
Then stay, I will bury you.

What's this you say, your father's spirit still lives in this place?
Well, I will silence you.

Here's the hitch, your horse is leaving.
Ah, don't miss your boat, it's leaving now.

And as you go I will spread my wings.
Yes, I will call this home.
I have no time to justify to you,
Fool, you're blind, move aside for me.

Well, all I can say to you my new neighbor,
Is you must move on or I will bury you.

Now as I rest my feet by this fire
Those hands once warmed here, well, I have retired them.
I can breathe my own air and I can sleep more soundly
Upon these poor souls,
I'll build Heaven and call it home.
'Cause you're all dead now.

And I live with my justice
And I live with my greedy need
Oh, I live with no mercy
Oh, I live with my greed in me
And I live with my hatred
And I live with my jealousy
Oh, I live with the notion that I don't need anyone but me

Don't Drink the Water
Don't Drink the Water
There's blood in the water
Don't Drink the Water...

 

All Along The Watchtower

There must be some kind of way out of here
Said the joker to the thief
Too much confusion
I can't get no relief

Business men they
Drink my wine
Oh, and the plowmen dig my herb
None of them along the line
Know what any of it's worth

No reason to get excited
The thief he kindly spoke
There aren't many here among us
That feel that life is but a joke (ha, ha, ha...)

But you and I we've been through that, oh
And this is not our fate
So let us not talk falsely now
The hour is getting late

And All Along the Watchtower
Princes kept their view
While all the women, all the women, all the women, came and they went
Barefoot servants, too
Outside in the cold distance
A wild cat did growl, la la la
Two riders were approaching
The wind began to howl
Yeah...

All Along the Watchtower
The princes kept their view, oh
While all the women came and they went
Barefoot servants, too
Outside in the cold distance
A wild cat did growl, la la la
Two riders were approaching
The wind begins to... howl.

The money safe
The thief he take
The money safe
The thief he take

No reason to get excited

"Thank you very much, bye bye."
