Baby, baby  
I’m taken with the notion  
To love you with the sweetest of devotion

Baby, baby  
My tender love will flow from  
The bluest sky to the deepest ocean

Stop for a minute  
Baby I’m so glad you’re mine, yeah  
You’re mine

But minute by minute by minute by minute  
I keep holding on  
Oh, minute by minute by minute by minute  
I keep holding on

Time keeps on slippin’, slippin’, slippin’ into the future  
Time keeps on slippin’, slippin’, slippin’ into the future  
I want to fly like an eagle to the sea  
Fly like an eagle, let my spirit carry me

Well there’s a rose in a fisted glove  
And the eagle flies with the dove  
And if you can’t be with the one you love, honey  
Love the one you’re with

Lovin’, touchin’, squeezin’ each other  
When I’m alone all by myself  
You’re out with someone else  
Lovin’, touchin’, squeezin’ each other

Nothing says loving  
Like something from the oven  
And Pillsbury says it best.

Nothing could be finer  
Than to be in Carolina  
In the morning

And Carolina day don’t rise in the morning  
Don’t set in the evenin’, it ain’t that way  
Look up in the morning and you got a grin  
And you’re with a girl and you want to stay  
Then my friend you’re in a Carolina day  
Oh, oh, it’s a Carolina day

</div>

When the sun goes down  
And the clouds all frown,  
Night has begun for the sunset.  
Shadows on the ground  
Never make a sound,  
Fading away in the sunset.  
Night has now become  
Day for everyone.

Cheer up, sleepy Jean  
Oh, what can it mean  
To a daydream believer  
And a homecoming queen

Then I saw her face, now I’m a believer  
Not a trace, of doubt in my mind  
I’m in love, and I’m a believer  
I couldn’t leave her if I tried

You say, “Keep my head from going down”  
Just for a little, just for a little  
Watch my feet float off the ground  
Just for a little, just for a little  
Love, if you can hear this sound  
Oh, just give me something, something to believe in

I am the way, I am the light  
I am the dark inside the night  
I hear your hopes, I feel your dreams  
And in the dark I hear your screams  
Don’t turn away, just take my hand  
And when you make your final stand  
I’ll be right there – I’ll never leave  
And all I ask of you – Believe

It’s spinning head, it’s under hand-the black flame  
It lies instead, I turned and I ran-the black flame  
On me, it fed,I understand-the black flame  
Burns my blackened brain

Run from me, don’t you see  
That we are one and I’m a part of you  
Get away, any way  
I’m still a secret in the heart of you  
And I’m the burning in your soul

Color our world blackened

Blackened

Opposition…contradiction…premonition…compromise  
Agitation…violation…mutilation…planet dies

Darkest color  
Blistered earth  
True death of life

Termination…expiration…cancellation…human race  
Expectation…liberation…population…lay to waste

In my eyes, indisposed  
In disguises no one knows  
Hides the face, lies the snake  
The sun in my disgrace  
Boiling heat, summer stench  
'Neath the black the sky looks dead  
Call my name through the cream  
And I’ll hear you scream again

Have you ever felt pain?  
When the screams come you know  
That you’re dying in vain

Don’t say I didn’t warn ya  
You had it coming anyway  
Now it’s just a revelation  
You pushed me too far and now you have got to pay

You’ve got a lotta nerve to say you are my friend  
When I was down you just stood there grinnin’  
You’ve got a lotta nerve to say you got a helping hand to lend  
You just want to be on the side that’s winnin’

You say I let you down, ya know its not like that  
If you’re so hurt, why then don’t you show it?  
You say you’ve lost your faith, but that’s not where its at  
You have no faith to lose, and ya know it

Listen to me you son of a bitch  
You think you’re so damned smart

And when you come crawling back to me on your hands and knees on glass  
I’m gonna spit in your face an’ laugh at your ass

Now you say you’re lonely  
You cry the whole night thorough  
Well, you can cry me a river, cry me a river  
I cried a river over you  
Now you say you’re sorry  
For bein’ so untrue  
Well, you can cry me a river, cry me a river  
I cried a river over you
