Doubting Tom

12

A party anthem-type song to celebrate social gatherings and the opportunities for men & women to flirt, drink and interact.

Hey, we?ve gotten to you
We know what to do
And no one can save us
Cuz we?ve got nothing to lose
We?re breaking the rules
And no one can save us

Let?s start the party with our hands in the air
Mix our drinks a little early so the people can?t stand
This is our purpose it?s the reason we play
Without the simple pleasures life would get in the way

Action, action, a typical reaction
Another ?just-a-lover? to me
I push you back so you act so another mister macho
But you know you ain?t nothin? to me

I give you passion, passion, you want some satisfaction
But you?ll be barkin? up the wrong tree
You call me baby, baby, but you be actin? crazy
This lady don?t do nothin? for free

Surviving the game taking chances as we go
Life on the edge is the only way that I know
It?s all your fault cuz I?m living your dreams
Excess social motions is the drug that I breathe

A guy singing about the girl that won't give him the time of day and abuses him, but he wants her more because he can't have her.

You say that I?m clever but I don?t know why
I?ll take it whenever but you still won?t try
You?ll do it again and then you can?t deny
All the drama we?re causing again

Carry on say that?s a nice surprise
And that I?m such a waste of time
You make me suffer to the end
And then I start where I began

Whenever I go to you, you turn away
You?re perfectly horrible I hear you say
I struggle in turmoil to fight my curiosity
All the drama you?re causing again

How long must I play these stupid games you make me
I tell you I?m still waiting till you no longer captivate me
I?ll drag you down, until you turn around, and see that I?m slipping on the edge
You push me away, but I always stay, cuz sex us a game you make me play

A story of finding ones true self amidst juggling being a rockstar on the road and having a true love back at home waiting for you.

Every night when I lie undone, unaware of what I?ve become, just
Expect to rise under the sun not willing to listen not able to run
And before I sleep I?ll always pray, try to reflect on problems of today, many
Don?t listen and many can?t say to wicked to change to easy to lay

So if I can tell me when will I? So if I will tell me when can I?

In my dreams I?m cold and when you come out I discover the reasons of what you?re about
When you?re broken the vows we exchange, fear of rejection running from fame
One time in a dream I saw you and me dancing naked with no laws
Our lips never opened yet we said, forever and ever till the end

So if I can tell me when will I? So if I will tell me when can I?

Buses to planes and limos to boats, of all of my friends I?ve lost the most
Give me chance and baby I can explain, still got the passion and myself to blame
Dark has its place and night has its life, pain has its torture, sharp as a knife
Echoes will follow from left to right, dawn will be broken and fight a good fight

So if I can tell me when will I? So if I will tell me when can I?

Celebrating the anxious "new love" feeling that a male & female share in the beginning stages of a relationship.

I was infatuated with a girl and after a short period of dating I felt myself becoming overcome with nerves any time we were apart. Even though we would plan to see each other in a day or two it felt as if she were a continent away, thus the referenc to Africa.

I want to cry out loud, I?d like to ask you how, can you now?
But that's the best of me
I'm left to hold on tight, left unwilling to fight, thru the night
But that's the best of me

You?re so far, you?re farther than Africa

I'll take what's left right now, if I only new how, can you now?
But that's the best of me
We?d stop right now if we could, if you think that we would, think we should?
But that's the best of me

You?re so far, you?re farther than Africa

Party type song that rock/raps self-bragging to prove that we're the better band, and that music is the new religion.

We kick it old school so no fools can show through
Line after line if nobody told you
Giving it away and we say that we play time after time
We rock because we?re here to stay

We?ve got your invitation
To come and join our mission
Music?s the new religion
You make your own decision

The rock rhyme that?s so fine a gold mine
I give props to myself if you don?t mind
We make it break it don?t fake it, so party people can shake it
We pump the music don?t lose the groove is movin?
Give it up and give us good love
We?ll party all night cuz it?s never enough
A good song rocks strong and makes it more fun
To keep the party people movin? groovin? all night long

We rock it downtown you know we?re spreading the sound ya?ll
Kicking out the jams not fooling around
We make it hardcore kids go screaming for more
I feel the need to free my people that?s what music is for
We got the skills to pay the bills
And the frills to give you thrills
We keep it rockin? with the grooves to give the ladies chills
We?re just a band that ran and found a sound to jam and slam
For kids to bump and jump when we come to town

A girl searching for man after man but each one is not the right one, they all fall short of her expectations and therefore are ugly.

Can you turn me on?
Do you think that I?ll love you?
Would you lie to my face?
Run from the places you?re hiding

If I had my way I?d make you look lovely, but you?re ugly

I?m just looking for someone
I?m really searching for anyone to be my everything,
Everything to me

Would you dry my tears?
Can you comfort the fears that I have?
Could you answer my prayers?
When I?m down on my knees at night

If I had my way I?d make you look lovely, but you?re ugly

I?m just looking for someone
I?m really searching for anyone to be my everything,
Everything to me

All I need is for someone to talk to
All I need is for someone to hear my voice
I?m tired of searching for something that?s not there
All I want is for someone to be everything

Forever starts now I?ve been down this road before
If I open my door would I regret it tomorrow?

If I had my way I?d make you look lovely, but you?re ugly

A girl and a guy sing about the weight of the world and how their relationship will survive.

I feel what you feel it happens to me
You are who you are cuz that?s who you?ll be
Yet I feel our time away
And I see our life away

And I carry the weight of the earth again
And I hear the cries in your words again, so I?m outta of here

Deception is smart it has its own mind
I keep it real close so over some time
Into a bloom its death will relieve
And I see our life away
Denial comes first we flex from within
Anger hits hard and wearing me thin
And I feel the ties come apart
We will watch us fall apart

So where do we go and what do we do
Efforts seem useless and nothing seems new
Go through the motions we?re living the lie
And I see our life apart
We?ve come to the end it?s time to move on
Find new beginnings won?t take too long
I see our life alone
We will fall when alone

A girl and a guy sing to each other after an arguement and profess their love.

I hardly slept at all last night
Won?t close my eyes for you tonight
I?ll never sleep again I know, until we work this out and so

I carry on, in our lives apart
And we carry on, our dreams break hearts

I never feel the same in May
Can?t breathe without you today
And I hardly slept at all last night
Don?t close my eyes for me tonight

We carry on, in our lives apart
And we carry on, cuz a dream breaks hearts

My thoughts are not the same alone
And your voice just ain?t the same on the phone
I?ll never sleep again I know, until we work this out and so

I never feel the same in May
Can?t breathe without you today
And I hardly slept at all last night
Don?t close your eyes for me tonight

We carry on, in our lives alone
And you carry on when a dream breaks a home

Anger about the religious majority cramming their ideals down our throats only to milk us of our money and make us feel guilty about how we live our lives.

You complicate my soul, I?m trying to breathe in water and I can?t believe it?s toll, would you do more if I asked you?

We fall before we die, you?re preaching to walls and empty halls, your foolish empty lies where?s my money saving lives?

Let your religion dig your graves
Wasting all of your time in every day
?Til all time stands still I?ll try
When I grow old I won?t change my ways

Pain is driving me insane, I?d like to have a day without it
But I just can?t take control, I?ll do more if I have to

We suffer than we die, the same message I hear year after year, your envy and your pride, where?s our money saving lives?

Space, climbing all these walls, I?d like to find an exit cuz I?m slowly getting old, I won?t die here- I don?t have to

We fall before we die, you?re preaching to fools with endless rules, I?m tired of all your lies where?s my money saving lives?

About the partying good times of drinking and being a rockstar but then waking up hungover on Sunday morning and hating life.

Carry me home straight through my door
Without your help I might have died on the floor
Throw me on the couch I?ll be just fine
Tonight left me so high and dry

It was a kick ass Saturday night
Temperatures rising so high
And I fear Sunday morning

Hung over and cold I?ll wake up a daze
Holding my stomach and my head is a haze
Can?t find my woman she?s gone away
Wasting time recovering until I see a

Packed house Saturday night
And everything is alright
And I fear Sunday morning

You won?t believe how this night began
Finished my shift and I changed in the can
Grabbed my lady pushed my way through the line
I hit the club and was feeling so fine

It?s a kick ass Saturday night
And everything is just right
And I fear Sunday morning

Shot after shot cuz the limits the sky
Raising the roof when I?m singing my lines
My heart is pumping in overdrive
Carry me off the stage I?ve lost my mind

A mix of rock & rap about a guy tormented by his girl; he wants to control her but she won't stand for it, hence their relationship troubles.

Loopy, out of whack that?s my style
Forget to call when I?m gone for a while and I
Spoke out of line where?s my mind it?s ok
Girl where you at cuz I?ll be back
Darlin? settle down don?t let yourself go
Looking for the reason that you?re gone and I?m at home
Can?t find my rhyme lost I?m blind it?s ok
Girl where you at cuz I?ll be back

I just think I?m the one that?s to blame
You give the kind of love that?s a pain
Just when I think I know ya, I?m tryin? to control ya
You tell me that it?s all just a game

Drifting, on the road that?s my bag
Forgot to pack and I?m cold it?s a drag and I
Play out of turn never learn its ok
That?s how I roll but I?ll be back
Honey settle down and just let me go
Pack all my stuff in a box by the door cuz I
Can?t find my mind lost and blind its ok
Girl where you at when I come back
