Labor of Love (s

Labor of Love (s.conte/k.brewer)

night after day

i’m checkin all the headlines

truth slips away

we’re lying on the borderline

lookin over the crowded city

a pounding in my chest

thousand stories at my feet

let me stop and catch my breath

it’s all too much

when i see it

the labor of love

it’s all too much

but i believe in

the labor of love

day after night

can anybody slow down?

tryin to get it right

but there ain’t enough to go around

i quit my job i took my money

and cancelled all my plans

laid it all on a one way ticket

just to see your face again

it’s all too much

when i feel it

the labor of love

it’s all too much

but i believe in

the labor of love

working for everyone

labor of love

slave to the heart

it’s all too much

when i see it

the labor of love

all too much

but i believe in

the labor of love.

Words You Say (k.brewer/a.scotti)

the words you say

don’t stand the light of day

they just fade away

the pretty words you say

just fade away, fade away

here you come again

whatcha gonna say?

guess it all depends

on the way you see romance today

little things you do

get me kinda psyched

but baby later on

it all seems kinda like a game you play

when you just want me to stay

well i’m a big man with all of my friends

but i’m a shot down hero

when the party ends

because the words you say

don’t stand the light of day

they just fade away

the pretty words you say

just fade away, fade away

everytime we kiss

i just wanna touch

but you call it quits

like you don’t know what you do to me

if it’s all a code

girl i’ll work it out

but all these tender words

have tumbled from your mouth a thousand times

and every single line

gets me a little bit more confused

it’s only bar talk baby

when you act enthused

because the words you say

don’t stand the light of day

they just fade away

the pretty words you say

just fade away, fade away

the words you say

ain’t worth the price you pay

i see your mouth still movin

i’m tryin to seal it with a kiss

you’re different day and night girl

c’mon honey, don’t do me like this

now we need a little heart to heart

i’m such a bright boy

but you got me in the dark

because the words you say

don’t stand the light of day

they just fade away

the pretty words you say

just fade away, fade away

the words you say

ain’t worth the price you pay

you know it just ain’t right

the pretty words you say

just fade away with the night.

Miles Away (k.brewer/s.conte/d.grahame)

ticking like a time bomb

everybody hears it

sleeping with your clothes on

waiting for the bell

it’s a difficult course

i choose to run

always stopping me short

as the day is

some centrifugal force

that pulls me on

into my dream world

miles away

are you talking to me?

cuz i don’t hear anything

miles away

i’ll be miles away

balanced on a tightwire

watching every step now

near fatal paranoia

scares me half to death

don’t try to talk me down

don’t waste your breath

my dignity is all that i have

when the going gets tough

i can always drift

into my dream world

miles away

are you talking to me?

cuz i don’t hear anything

miles away

i don’t hear anything

miles away

i’ll be miles away

and you could say it’s over

and i would never feel the pain

and no one ever breaks this wall

miles away

are you talking to me?

cuz i don’t hear anything

miles away

so many miles away

Dear Life (k.brewer/s.conte/k.mac)

cast your fate to the wind

you’re losing your choice again

can you see yourself

back out on the street

with all of your poison friends

i won’t be there

to hear you cry about the things you done

or throw the line that keeps you hangin on

hangin on, hangin on

for dear life

always hoping that your luck will change

your dear life

never knowing that your love can change

your dear life

life is never the same

and always deceiving you

can you hear me now?

it’s all i can do

to keep on believing you

when you’re near me

i feel this web that we’ve been thrown upon

to weave the thread that keeps ya hangin on

hangin on, hangin on

for dear life

always hoping that your luck will change

your dear life

never knowing that your love can change

your dear life

always hoping that your luck will change

life goes on

outside of your world the sky is bright

when it seems all wrong

you’ll be all right

dear life

always hoping that your luck will change

your dear life

never knowing that your love can change

your dear life

always hoping that your luck will change

your dear life

dear life

Can’t Stand to Crawl (s.conte/k.brewer)

so you think you got me figured out

well there’s something you should know about

it’s all over

cuz i been rolled around a couple of times

before i started making up my mind

not to be pushed around no more

and i can’t stand to crawl again

get up off my knees and say

can’t stand to crawl now baby

i’ll just walk away

when we started this it felt so right

now the future doesn’t look so bright

and i can’t see you

do you need a human sacrifice?

do you think you’re gonna burn me twice?

first you’re gona have to track me down

cuz i can’t stand to crawl again

i’ve been on this floor before

can’t stand to crawl now baby

i don’t want no more

can’t stand to crawl

can’t stand to crawl now baby

i’ll just walk away

so cry your war cries

and let your big words fly

and when the smoke clears i’ll be gone

i can’t stand to crawl again

i’ve been on this floor before

can’t stand to crawl now baby

i don’t want no more

i can’t stand to crawl

get up off my knees and say

can’t stand to crawl now baby

i’ll just walk away

i can’t stand to crawl

can’t stand to crawl

The Distance (k.brewer/s.conte)

well now you’re gone forever again

girl that’s no news to me

i blame myself for letting you in

to have you confuse me

guess i’ll never learn to play it smart

if i twist your arm you’ll break my heart

i can’t take the distance

you got me losing my persistance

i can’t waste emotion on love

that leaves me at the door

i’ve been banging on this concrete wall

now there’s a little too much resistance

and i can’t take the distance anymore

i tried so long to be what you want

but you don’t want me in your world

you think we’ll work it out in some restaurant

well i got my reservations girl

there’s no way to get my way with you

now you’re closing all the doors

that lead me through

i can’t take the distance

you got me losing my persistance

i can’t wait forever on love

that leaves me at the door

i’ve been banging on this concrete wall

now there’s a little too much resistance

and i can’t take the distance anymore

well now you’re gone forever again

meanwhile i’m dreaming

Simon Screams (k.brewer/s.conte)

he’s in her face again

he always gets away with murder

put in her place again

simon screams at his baby

it’s all a big mistake

she never meant to make him angry

but something’s bound to break

when simon screams

simon screams for his baby

but she’s far away

he dreams of a thousand things

he’d like to say

but it seems that there’s

always such a price to pay

he never needed her more

than he does today

standing in the door

he finds it hard to hide his madness

and as the sirens roar

simon screams like a baby

he hears the hammer crack

another day another sentence

and as we fade to black

simon screams

simon screams for his baby

but she’s far away

he dreams of a thousand things

he’d like to say

but it seems that there’s

always such a price to pay

he never needed her more

than he does today

blame it all on his angry youth

when nobody cared if he spoke the truth

got sidetracked measuring

the pleasure in pain

till it swept him away

just like a hurricane

simon screams for his baby

but she’s far away

he dreams of a thousand things

he’d like to say

but it seems that there’s

always such a price to pay

he never needed her

simon screams

Everybody’s Baby (k.brewer/s.conte)

a girl like that could keep you home

a girl like that could stop you running around

everybody’s telling me

how good my life must be

but when they talk of love

what are they thinking of?

she’s everybody’s baby

when they turn the house lights down

and she takes the stage and

leaves my world behind

sometimes i think i’m crazy

trying to follow her around

cause she treats her public well

and she always looks divine

and she’s everybody’s baby

but mine

when she’s with me i can make her smile

when she’s with me she tells me all of her dreams

and all the things she promises

are things i could believe

until the moment ends

and i’m alone again

she’s everybody’s baby

when they turn the house lights down

and it’s clear to me it’s her

they’ve come to find

sometimes i think i’m crazy

trying to follow her around

cause she treats her public well

and she always looks divine

and she’s everybody’s baby

but mine

In My Blood (s.conte/k.brewer)

i shiver in the dead of night

i think of you, obsession burns inside of me

feel your velvet kiss

luring me to love like a twisted symphony

you call to me

here and now i’m kneelin

screamin out your name

love has got me like a ball and chain

i can’t break away

you’re in my blood

nowhere to hide

you’re in my blood

down deep inside

you’re in my blood

you’re the fever in my veins

been down your hallowed halls

in and out of walls of sin and sanity

laid in sheets of white

hang it on me tight

and i see heaven’s gate

don’t make me wait

fallin from my chambers

beggin for your touch

you got me hooked, enough is way too much

i can’t break away

you’re in my blood

nowhere to hide

you’re in my blood

down deep inside

you’re in my blood

you’re the fever in my veins

red red river

drownin myself in excess

black black ocean

loving you leaves me possessed

i can’t break away

you’re in my blood

nowhere to hide

you’re in my blood

down deep inside

you’re in my blood

you’re the fever

i can’t break away

you’re in my blood

no place to hide

you’re in my blood

down deep inside

you’re in my blood

you’re the fever in my veins

fever in my veins
