| COLD HEARTED ALICE
Cold hearted Alice Sits up in her room Paints her pretty pictures On the wall under the moon Mummy calls out nightime She don't seem to care Lost in her confusion She paints no time to spare No time to spare
Cold hearted Alice I crossed her off my list Shows up no invitation And then she gets real pissed Poor cold hearted Alice Never has no relation But rumor gets around you know ain't worth the aggravation Can't take no aggravation no no no
Cold little bitch with her rags up on the wall Her face comes to the window and my skin begins to crawl Sad boy allegiance got it written on her sleeve Mummies' little love and daddies' grief
Cold hearted Alice Comes home late at night Sits alone by candlefire Staring at the light Dancing in the attic Clutching at her doll She rips it all to pieces And then she starts to crawl Foaming at the mouth she cries To the demons in her head and the times that she's lied All good people well they'll be damned If they get in her way when she gets out of hand
Cold little bitch with her legs up in the air Her lust reeks of venom I can feel it in her stare Mother's little helpers got them hidden in her room Don't get to attached she'll be leaving soon

LETTING GO
There's a place In my head Where I go When I think I'de rather be dead
Got a room With a view But I stay inside And think of fucking you
Got a hole In my heart Don't know what love is So where do I start
Pain is emotion Anger's a gift Don't need religion So fucking sick of that shit
Love is a lie for The lust of truth I want your body Not a picture of you
Time is the answer Fading away Four in the morning Won't see the sun today
There is no answer There is no god Open your mind Pick up your own staff and rod Be free

NAMCHE BAZAAR
You see me, I see you too, What can I do? Staring out the window, misty skies, the clouds roll by I like to dream at night, caught between the candlelight What do you think, nothing at all? Will you catch me, when I fall? Oh yeah
I like to dream at night Blow out the candle light I lie awake to sleep Something's got ahold of me Oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah, alright The future holds the past As time moves on to fast And when tomorrow's gone Yet captured in a song
You see me, I see you too, what can I do? Staring out the window like a man caught in the blues Backed up against the wall, now can't you hear my call So won't you catch me when I fall Alright
Something's got ahold of me Got the longing to be free Can't get fooled along the path Sometimes I find it hard to laugh But I don't care and I won't cry Something told me do or die No I don't want to waste my time Chasing after endless rhyme
You see me, I see you too, what can I do? Staring out the window like a man caught in the blues Backed up agaisnt the wall, now can't you hear my call? So won't you catch me when I fall (fall fall fall)
You see me, I see you too, what can I do? Staring out the window like a man caught in the blues Backed up agaisnt the wall, now can't you hear my call? So won't you catch me when I? Will you catch me if I? Won't you catch me when I falllllllllllllllllll

9 LIGHTS ON THE GANGES
In dedication to Chuck Wilson, Merriah Hutson, John Cashman, Mike and Gayle Herren, Denise Stout, Nathan Hall, Jay Johnson, Lisa Ellis - 9 skydiving friends who went down in a plane crash. I was in India at the time, Benares. I bid them farewell by floating nine candle lights down the river Ganges one night, wishing them the best of rebirths, and promising to remember them on every freefall.

PASSION FLOWER

So come on baby smile Just a little smile Do it Passion Flower style Oh yeah
Hey Akha boy, where is your home Down by the river can I sing you a song Oh sweet child I'll remember your face But what we're doing to the planet is a fucking disgrace Want to hear the brothers cry out hear the sisters sing For a new way, a better world, a positive thing So come on baby, and show me your light One love, One people, Unite Hold out your hand, and give me a smile Sweet passion child
So come on baby smile Just a little smile Do it Passion Flower style Oh yeah So come on baby smile And stay around awhile I kind of like your style Sweet passion child

PLASTIC JESUS
I pray to plastic Jesus He tells me the real shit Says your world is full of concrete, metal, full of hypocrites
Hail hail Mary Full of fucking grace I wonder how she'de cope, stressed out in the rat race
Hare hare Krishna hare Rama hare Bo Chant and dance in circles Round and round we go
Om Om Om, try and chill out in my mind And wipe away the madness I worked so hard to find
Hitch down the road to Zion, and have a smoke with Jah Get stoned out of my mind To find my shambala
And take a dance with Shiva, stay up and fuck all night Read the Kamasutra Erotic ritual rites
Nam Myo Ho Renge Kyo, I want a Cadillac I always thought that buddhist monks Lived in little shacks
Molly Molly Mormon, sing your fucking hymns And pray for all the gentiles You've condemned to sin
So tell me plastic Jesus, when it all comes tumbling down Will you be my Savior Or will you let me drown

SACRELIGIOUS
Pray for me, hate for me, do the things I should I am just a cog in the machine Sin for me, grin at me, do the things I would Draw me in like nicotine
The world has gotten angry Am I the one insane? Smile, lie, and cheat on me Once again my friend Things are so malicious Clutch your crucifixes Oh so sacreligious But wouldn't you like to
Teach the children, teach them well, just another fairytale Keep them all in quarantine Congregations, generations, who's for real and what's for sale Get em hooked on morphine
Happiness is slavery Kind of feeling used Freedom's just another word People have abused Things seem so malicious Clutch your crucifixes Say I'm sacreligious But wouldn't you like to
Burn my face, burn my words, then you think my mind is cured Rape me like a figurine Dress me up and dress me down, put me in a ladies gown Pump me up on methedrine
Heretics and lunatics All along the path Hippocrits and catholics Can't escape my wrath Things seem so malicious Clutch your crucifixes Blame the sacreligious But wouldn't you like to

Deconstitute This is reconstitute I can barely hear you I'm still reconstituting Reconstitute this is deconstitute Well damnit, hurry up, I'm about to disappear Ah, deconstitute, this is reconstitute If you'd shut up for awhile Maybe I could pull myself together

LONELY SOUL
You see me running and I've got nowhere to go You spit right in my face, the emotions do not show I can't control my fears Time is racing through the years Why hide behind the curtain when death seems all too near
A hundred faces calling yet I dream not for you Sentimental calling but the feelings can't get through Seem so far away this time What is waiting to combine The dreams that I have stolen with the ones that have come true
Time is wasted through the years Time has stolen all my fears Time can be just like a knife Cut the feelings out of life
A thousand faces calling yet the theme remains the same Something's always calling, a sentimental game If time is just a wasted life I'll hold my throat up to the knife Cause life has to be lived without someone there to blame
Take me down, take me alive Any feelings that survive Existing as a lonely soul Tumbling down, becoming whole Time has wasted all the years Time is stealing all my fears Time can be just like a knife Cut the feeling out of life

DESPERATION
Begging for the future On the streets, forgot the name All alone, lost my mind The songs all sound the same Living my confusion Feeling like a dream gone bad I'de rather be asleep today Haunting memories fade away
Feeling no emotion Dancing in my sin Desire is awake right now Lights on but no one's in Begging for the answer Running out of time Struggling for the truth of nothing That occupies my mind
Life calls out desire Desires unfulfilled Staring at the void inside Moments, seconds, all contrived So if you find the answer Take a bit of time To let me know I'm not alone In this friendless world that has no rhyme Friendless world that has no rhyme Friendless world that has no rhyme Friendless world that has no rhyme

EMPTY
I feel so numb and overcome That's why I shot it in my vein And now I'm staring at the hole Where the emptiness remains The night has turned to day A faded inspiration wanes The fucking world is waking up And I feel so insane People will start stirring Headed to their senseless lives A faded memory of something Wonder how I still survive Live for something better Where the feelings mean much more This fucking system brings me down Leaves me feeling like a whore Everybody wants to fuck me But the intimacy is gone Pay your money get your pleasure Bitch about it in a song Could you stay with me tonight And not just shove me out the door Got your sex, got your drugs Don't want to share em, just want more Yeah fuck you too
I feel so empty

SUNSET
Funny how the day goes Maybe we'll see what tomorrow brings Sing about the good life in a song Wandering the night-time Funny somehow I can't catch the rhyme Can't deceive right from wrong So I head out on and down the road When I feel I'm growing old I'll recount tommorrow in a song Funny how the sunsets And I don't know where I'm heading yet Before you wake, tommorrow's gone So I sit and watch the world go by Don't seem to be no reason why I'll recount tommorrow in a song But when I'm where I want to be Sometimes it seems, it seems to me I'll recount tommorrow I'll recount tommorrow when it's gone I'll recount tommorrow in a song

REVOLUTION
Hey man , what did you say to me I locked the door and I can't go back no more Hey man, got the right to be free and I know just what I'm fighting for
So the story goes and time will tell Lessons learned weren't taught that well Looks like we're out of control again
Hey man, why do you lie to me I can see the world through my own two eyes you know Hey man, look at society, we're running out of time Ain't going so slow
Take me back to where I once belonged Seems I'll only find that place in a song Searching for that right to be free Hey man , you ain't got control of me
Hey man , you ain't got control of me Hit the road and don't come back no more Hey man, we all have to be free That's what we'll keep on fighting for
Revolution change the conscious mind Better hurry fast cause we're running out of time Ain't no reason, ain't no rhyme no more

LIES
Can't you see that I'm caught inbetween all these lies That keep chasing my dreams away at night So I look to the light and I see What I'd like to be, like to be Yeah wohoho alright
©2003 Christopher W Higgins
SMILE
You may think I'm crazy But I don't care at all It's just the way I look out on the world And I call you You can take this life and throw it to the wind But just remember to begin again Be my friend Take me inside of your dreams tonight Show me the light tell me it's alright Alright to stay around for awhile Just to make you smile Make you smile
