    Nine Lives

    Well well well
    I feel just like I'm fallin' in love
    There's a new cool
    Some kind of verbooty
    That fits me like a velvet glove

    And it's cool
    Shu bop a doo ba
    She's talkin' to me Juba to Jive
    Yeah, the girl's in love
    No doubt about it
    The moment of truth has arrived

    And in a wink
    The funk was all around me
    And I think
    I'm dead in love again

    Nine Lives - Feelin' lucky
    Nine Lives - Live again
    Nine Lives - It ain't over
    Nine Lives - Live for ten

    I got good luck
    In certain situations
    I'm feelin' like I hung the moon
    And then at times
    I'm so weak from lovin'
    I couldn't even carry a tune

    But now I'm back
    Oh yes I am
    I maybe fall apart at the seams
    I had a nightmare
    Believe me when I tell you
    Nobody ever dies in their dreams

    I think I need a stay of execution
    In a wink, I'm dead in love again

    Nine Lives - Puss & booty
    Nine Lives - Live again
    Nine Lives - It ain't over
    Nine Lives - Live for ten

    Well well well
    Engine room to bombardier
    Is this a dream
    I died and went to Heaven
    She's enough to make you
    Cry in your beer

    How can a good thing
    7 come 11
    Slip into a fare thee well
    And how can one man's
    Little bit o' Heaven
    Turn into another man's Hell

    I think I need a stay of execution
    Yeah I know, I'm dead in love again

    Nine Lives - Hello lucky
    Nine Lives - Live again
    Nine Lives - It ain't over
    Nine Lives - Try for ten

    Nine Lives - Takin' over
    Nine Lives - Live again
    Nine Lives - It ain't over
    Nine Lives - Live for ten

    Nine Lives - Hello lucky
    Nine Lives - Live again
    Nine Lives - It ain't over
    Nine Lives - Live for ten

    Hole In My Soul

    I'm down a one way street
    With a one night stand
    With a one track mind
    Out in no man's land
    The punishment sometimes
    Don't seem to fit the crime

    Yeah there's a hole in my soul
    But one thing I've learned
    For every love letter written
    There's another one burned
    So you tell me how it's gonna be this time

    Is it over?
    Is it over?
    'Cause I'm blowin' out the flame

    Take a walk outside your mind
    Tell me how it feels to be
    The one who turns
    The knife inside of me

    Take a look and you will find
    There's nothing there, girl
    Yeah I swear, I'm telling you, girl yeah 'cause

    (Chorus)
    There's a Hole In My Soul
    That's been killing me forever
    It's a place where a garden never grows
    There's a Hole In My Soul
    Yeah, I should have known better
    'Cause your love's like a thorn without a rose
    Yeah, yeah

    I'm as dry as a seven year drought
    I got dust for tears
    Yeah I'm all tapped out
    Sometimes I feel broken and can't get fixed

    I know there's been all kinds of shoes
    Underneath your bed
    Now I sleep with my boots on
    But you're still in my head
    And something tells me this time
    I'm down to my last licks

    'Cause if it's over
    Then it's over
    And it's driving me insane

    Take a walk outside your mind
    Tell me how it feels to be
    The one who turns
    The knife inside of me
    Take a look and you will find
    There's nothing there, girl, yeah, I swear
    I'm telling you girl yeah 'cause

    (Chorus)

    Yeah, is it over?
    Yeah, it's over
    And I'm blowing out the flame

    Take a walk outside your mind
    Tell me how it feels to be
    The one who turns
    The knife inside of me
    Take a look and you will find
    There's nothing there, girl, yeah, I swear
    I'm telling you girl yeah 'cause

    (Chorus)

    Oh, oh...

    God I love the sweet taste of India
    Lingers on the tip of my tongue
    Gotta love the sweet taste of India
    Blame it on the beat of the drum

    God I love the sweet taste of India
    Lingers on the tip of my tongue
    Gotta know that what's gotten into ya

    That lives in her back room
    And when it mixes with the funk my friend

    And then you're afraid of the light
    But I'm not afraid when I dance with my shadow

    This time I'm gonna get it right
    To think of what I'll get tonight
    Just lookin' for a little taste, taste of India
    She'll steal the smile right off your face

    Her yin and yang
    Is just the thing
    She's unpredictable my friend

    God I love the sweet taste of India
    Lingers on the tip of my tongue
    Gotta know that what's gotten into ya
    Any cat man do when it's done

    It's like your first taste love of vindaloo
    That sets your heart on fire
    And if you let her stuff get into you
    It will be all that you desire

    When you make love to the sweet tantric priestess
    You drink in the bliss of delight
    But I'm not afraid when I dance with her shadow

    This time I'm gonna get it right
    She's gonna whet my appetite
    Just lookin' for a little taste, taste of India
    She'll steal the smile right off your face

    She a friend of mine
    She a concubine
    The sweetest wine
    I gotta make her mine

    God I love the sweet taste of India
    Lingers on the tip of my tongue
    Gotta love the sweet taste of India
    Blame it on the beat of the drum

    God I love the sweet taste of India
    Lingers on the tip of my tongue
    Gotta know that what's gotten into ya
    Any cat man do when it's done

    Just think of what I'll get tonight
    She's gonna whet my appetite
    Just lookin' for a little taste, taste of India
    She'll steal the smile right off your face

    Something's Gotta Give

    Cyberotic head explode
    Information overload
    And I just can't take anymore
    And I'm gonna break

    Tell me when to turn the screw
    Does the noise in my head bother you
    Something's gotta give
    Comic books are comin' true
    Does the noise in my head bother you

    Digerotic mass appeal
    Feels like flesh but tastes unreal
    And I'm gonna break

    Does the noise in my head bother you
    Something's gotta give
    Don't you like it

    Comic books are comin' true
    Does the noise in my head bother you

    Ain't That a Bitch

    Up in smoke you've lost another love
    As you take a hit off your last cigarette
    Strung out, burnt out
    Yeah you're down on your luck
    And you don't give a...
    'Til the best part of you starts to twitch
    Ain't that a bitch

    Freak out! I'm alone now
    I feel just like I'm losin' my mind
    'Cause love is like the right dress
    On the wrong girl
    You never know what you're gonna find
    You think you're high and fine as wine
    Then you wind up like a dog in a ditch
    'Cause love is like a wrong turn
    On a cold night...yeah
    Ain't that a bitch, Ain't that a bitch

    In a daze
    In the throes of emotion
    You see God in the Devil's eyes
    Then you fall so far from grace
    You wouldn't know a kiss
    If it was on your face
    You can tell it to the jury
    But you ain't got no case

    Freak out! I'm alone now
    I feel just like I'm losin' my mind
    'Cause love is like the right dress
    On the wrong girl
    You never know what you're gonna find
    The gal was fine as calamine but not
    Enough to scratch a seven year itch
    'Cause love is like the last licks
    Outta Hendrix... yeah
    Ain't that a bitch, Ain?t that a bitch

    Then you feel so out of place
    Lickin' up the arsenic
    From the same old lace
    You know the stuff is poison
    But you gotta have a taste

    You gotta
    Freak out! I'm alone now
    I feel just like I'm losin' my mind
    'Cause love is like the right dress
    On the wrong girl
    You never know what you're gonna find
    You think you're high and fine as wine
    Then you wind up with your face in the ditch
    'Cause love is like a warm gun
    On a cold night... yeah
    Ain't that a bitch, Ain't that a bitch

    Motherload - pigeonholed

    Tattoo a dot right on my head
    And the prozac is my fixer
    I am the living dead

    Yeah it's time to crash

    Doin' tons of colon blow
    Stuffing it in every hole

    Watching Jimi kiss the sky
    Salle diner becomes a blur
    With everybody jammin'
    Republicans begin to sin
    The batwings start a slamming

    Kiss Your Past Good-Bye

    Finders keepers losers weep
    Down on 42nd Street
    Bare-foot children cryin' my-oh-my
    I watched you on the avenue
    While other men were having you
    I think that you should let your caged bird fly

    And kiss your past good-bye
    Kiss your past good-bye
    Kiss your past good-bye, yeah
    Kiss your past good-bye

    I've been so lost I must confess
    I've had my share of loneliness
    But yeah it's hard to keep a good man down
    The loves you lost were all in vain
    The past lives on inside your brain
    I don't think you need those memories
    Hangin' 'round, yeah

    Good-bye
    Kiss your past good-bye
    You've gotta let it fly
    Kiss your past good-bye, yeah

    And if that bird don't fly away
    There's just one thing I got to say

    It's later than a deuce a ticks
    Your broken heart, it needs a fix
    You're feedin' off a high that would not last
    And people they don't seem to care
    And sorry just don't cut it, yeah
    It seems to me you're gettin' nowhere fast

    So... Kiss... your... past

    Or kiss your ass good-bye
    Kiss your past good-bye
    There's no more tears to cry
    So kiss your past good-bye
    Kiss your past good-bye

    Or kiss your ass good-bye
    Yeah

    Fallen Angels

    There's a candle burning in the world tonight
    For another child who vanished out of sight
    And a heart is broken, another prayer in vain
    There's a million tears that fill a sea of pain

    Sometimes I stare out my window
    My thoughts all drift into space
    Sometimes I wonder if there's a better place

    (Tell me)
    Where do fallen angels go
    I just don't know
    Where do fallen angels go
    They keep falling

    Now the times is frightening
    Can't ignore the facts
    There's so many people
    Just slippin' through the cracks

    So many ashes are scattered
    So many rivers run dry
    Sometimes your Heaven is Hell and you don't know why

    (So listen)
    Where do fallen angels go
    I just don't know
    Where do fallen angels go
    They keep falling, falling, falling...

    Can you hear me
    Can you hear me
    Somewhere out there there's a shining light
    And I got to be with you tonight

    And with all we're nowhere
    We still pay the price
    Yeah the Devil seems to get his way
    In downtown paradise

    Where do fallen angels go
    I just don't know
    Where do fallen angels go
    They keep falling, falling, falling...

    Where do fallen angels go, tell me
    I just don't know
    Where do fallen angels go
    They keep falling, falling, falling...

    There's a candle burning...
