in the park
lovers parking
in dark cars
always
used to see them
never knew that they
were seein stars
cuz when you touch me baby
oo-ee-i
and when you kiss me baby
i get high
i never thought it could be
so-ee-i

mountain burns:
as i was driving
alone last night
thought i heard this song
but it can't be right
should have stopped and called you up
from a road side phone
sayin' quick quick turn your radio on
it's my song
turn it on
it's my song
don't touch me when i don't wanna be touched
don't kiss me when my head is turned
just listen to the wind on the water
meet me where the mountain burns
the road was empty
there were no cars
the night was cloudy
there were no stars
i had the radio on but i was alone
i was speeding in the dark
maybe i was just wishing
it's my song
turn it on
it's my song
don't touch me when i don't wanna be touched
don't kiss me when my head is turned
just listen to the wind on the water
meet me where the mountain burns
where the mountain burns
and the river is on fire
then only then will my lover learn
only then will he learn
my true desire
don't touch me when i don't wanna be touched
don't kiss me when my head is turned
just listen to the wind on the water
meet me where the mountain burns
keep you sleep with you:
i'm not asking for much
just a little personal touch
can't help how much i feel
don't stop something that's real to me
yes i know you've always been true to her
one night what would it do to her
one night of infinite passion
a few hours is all that i'm asking
don't say you don't want it too
i don't want to keep you
i just want to sleep with you
not trying to get your girlfriend uptight
can't she let you go for just one night
i don't want to keep you
i just want to sleep with you
i don't want to keep you
i just want to sleep with you

Wild Young Love

and i will wear the black dress with the ribbons
and i will braid up my hair in a tail
then i will wait and watch the weather on the television
then i will get up put my coat on and go
and you will wear the leather jacket from your uncle
and you will watch the way i walk across the floor
and you will kiss me and tell me that you love me
and i will wonder if i could love you any more
wild young love
where did you go
where did you go go go
gone where all the wild things go
where did you go go go
and all the hours we tied up the telephone
and all the things that we said about forever
but it's been so long i can't remember how i said i love you
and forever is still a long long way away
wild young love
where did you go
where did you go go go
gone where all the wild things go
where did you go go go
wild young love
oh wild young love
where did you go go go
where did you go go go
long time ago go go go go go go

you got your blind red moon rising
you got your eyesight
i ought to know
you got your head out on the highway
you got your midnight cruisers
i ought to know
you got your driving up slow now
you got your don't even know you
you got your not gonna get over without a fight
you got your trying to talk sweeter
you got your trying to pull over
you got your girl so much younger
i ought to know
you got your foolish mistake
but that was years ago he's gone now
i ought to know
but here i am
thumb stuck out on the highway
a trace of tail lights
i ought to know i ought to know
i let you talk me up sweeter
i let you drive me down harder
and how i let you get over
i ought to know i ought to know

No No No No No No You

how long? how long
can a girl exist
without it?
how long? how long
can she listen to her friends
talkin' about it?
when she is without it?
every night she goes down to the taproom
she gets all dressed up, she puts those braids in her hair
and then every night she just sits on a barstool
cuz there's no one there who dances like you do
laughs the way you do
makes love like you do
no no no no no no no no no you
no no no no no no no no no you
want some boy to touch me the way you used to
but there's no no no no no no no no no you
every night she rides home in a taxi
and she pays the fare and gets out her keys
she unlocks the door to her single apartment
once she's safe inside she gets down on her knees
no no no no no no no no no you
no no no no no no no no no you
want some boy to hold me the way you used to
but there's no no no no no no no no no you
every playground is a desert
every love song is a lesson
like a toy rusted in the rain
nowhere is the boy who can make me new again
no no no no no no no no no you
no no no no no no no no no you
want some boy to want me the way you used to
but there's no no no no no no no no no you
want some boy to love me the way you used to
but there's no no no no no no no no no you

Sex And Violence
07:39
|

|
all i wanna do
is dance until I'm dizzy
beat my feet and twist my vision
sex and violence
sex and violence
will do
too much minor harmony
too much teenage self-pity
never wrote the song
i could listen to for long
but
sex and violence
good ol' sex and violence
will do
if i can't have you
sex and violence will do
maybe you think it's pretty
for women to come and go
talk about their losses and
Michelangelo
cuz babies and men i've lost
but no one wants to hear
the tenderness of tragedy
trickle in their ear
if i can't have you
sex and violence will do
if i can't have you
sex and violence will do
