Lying in the darkness next to skin I used to know
and I wonder how to hold you I've forgotten long ago.
Now I'm breathing in the black birds of a fortune I've been told:
you can't have love and lust together, that's how the story goes.
But I want to hold and I want to touch and I want to feel brand new,
I know it ain't that simple babe...but I don't know what to do.

I want to feel like I did that night,
I want to feel like I did that night,
I want to feel like I did that night,
I want to watch the sunrise in your eyes, my eyes, your eyes.

I want you like that first night that we made each other ache,
I want to kiss until our tongues are tired from the exploration,
I want to hold until my arms are weak from the anticipation,
I want to love until I feel the glow from your illumination...

Skin I used to know, Skin I used to know, Skin I used to know
Now I'm lying in the silence and I listen to you breathe,
I wait for you to pull me a little closer to your heat
cause I want to hold I want to touch and want to feel brand new,
I know it ain't that simple babe but I don't know...

I want to feel like I did that night,
I want to feel like I did that night,
I want to feel like I did that night,
I want to watch the sunrise in your eyes, my eyes, your eyes.

I'm what crazy looks like, I'm what crazy people do...
I lose my tongue around you, and I feel like such a fool.
Yeah, I'm what crazy looks like, I'm what crazy people say.
And everything you do, makes me more crazy everyday.

When I see you on Friday night, I can't even say hello.
Cause if I open up my mouth, then surely you would know...
That I lose my mind when you walk in, even when she is with you.
And, Baby, I can't help but think, you've got better things to do.

I'm what crazy looks like, I'm what crazy people do...
I lose my tongue around you, and I feel like such a fool.
Yeah, I'm what crazy looks like, I'm what crazy people say.
And everything you do, makes me more crazy everyday.

When I see you on Saturday, I melt when our eyes meet.
Everyone around us says, that they can feel out heat.
And you move me across the room, and ask me for a dance.
Baby I can make you happy, if you give me just one chance.

I'm what crazy looks like, I'm what crazy people do...
I lose my tongue around you, and I feel like such a fool.
Yeah, I'm what crazy looks like, I'm what crazy people say.
And everything you do, makes me more crazy everyday.

I'm the one who made love to the thunder,
I'm the one who stood out in the rain,
I'm the one who let you be right all the time,
so I would not have to be the blame.

I'm the one who found you,
I'm the one who left you too.
I packed the car,
I took the dog,
I left that cat for you.
You seemed to like him better than I did.
Aren't you glad we never had those kids.
Lightening struck and now I'm on the highway heading south,
I can't wait to taste that salt water in my mouth.

I'm the one who made love to the thunder,
I'm the one who stood out in the rain,
I'm the one who let you be right all the time,
so I would not have to be the blame.

Lookin for my life to get a little breezier,
Someone to make my life a little easier
Like a river runnin wild
Like a river runnin free
Feel the raging current
And I just want to be...the Zambezi.

You are the earth opposing my erosion,
like corrosion on the sea.
Can't you feel your salt all over me?
Stinging my eyes, it's in my hair, you're suffocatingly every where
I just need a little bit of breathing room.
I just want a friend, I don't need a groom.
I'm just lookin for a little peace,
maybe I'll find it at the beach.
Looking for a little fun,
a little something in the sun.

I'm the one who made love to the thunder,
I'm the one who stood out in the rain,
I'm the one who let you be right all the time,
so I would not have to be the blame.

I just want to be...the Zambezi.

for Lance

Please let me stay a little longer in your air.
We're right about to kiss and I feel electric there.
You can keep your eyes on me, but I think I'll close mine.
Shutting out society and opening my mind.
Until suddenly our universe is skin and breath and hair,
Please let me stay a little longer in your air.

I'm gonna wear you like a storm beneath my skin,
Feel the thunder,
I'm gonna wear you like a storm beneath my skin,
See the lightening,
I'm gonna wear you like a storm beneath my skin,
Kiss me baby, feel the thunder,
Kiss me baby, see the lightening,
I'm gonna wear you like a storm that's tangling my hair...
Please let me stay a little longer in your air.

Your ice blue eyes are moving like the rain across my face.
I'm choking on the butterflies trying to escape.
I can't find a way, to keep from plunging into pink.
I'm feeling so close to you that I can barely think-
about anything except that sweet honey of your mouth,
come on kiss me baby, come on kiss me now.

I'm gonna wear you like a storm beneath my skin,
Feel the thunder,
I'm gonna wear you like a storm beneath my skin,
See the lightening,
I'm gonna wear you like a storm beneath my skin,
Kiss me baby, feel the thunder,
Kiss me baby, see the lightening,
I'm gonna wear you like a storm that's tangling my hair...
Please let me stay a little longer in your air.

Your hips are quick and dangerous, And I know where they're going.
You know I'd like to save you, But you've got to do your own growing,
In your own time. In your own way.
Your hips are quick and dangerous they want to rule this town.
But all the pleasures that you seek, will only bring you down...
to the place down deep inside, where you can't hide.
Oh, Lucy, you know that you can't hide.
I know your mama let you down, and I know your daddy ain't around,
but you don't have to prove to this small town,
that you've got beauty on the outside and the in...
What's gonna happen when the pretty leaves your skin?
Oh, Lucy what's gonna happen then? You can pull out your eyelashes one-by-one,
But a desperate wish ain't gonna come, hopes and dreams and God... don't work that way.
Hey, Lucy, Your hips are quick and dangerous, You'd better slow them down,
Hey, Lucy...

There you go With a wave of your hand
It's over Things don't go as planned.

It's enough to know, You once burned a candle for me,
Had a handle on me, And we got lost in time.
It's enough to know, Even though it wasn't right,
You were fire in the night, And you were mine.

It's never easy when live slips away,
It's how you play it It's what you say.
It's enough to know I will always think of you,
You were always true to me. Too many people are dissatisfied,
Afraid of changes they've never tried.
It's enough to know Forever doesn't make it real, It's the way I feel right now.
I can't be looking through others eyes,
I can't be listening to all the lies,
They'd take a real love, And put it down...
I might have lost you, But look what I have found.

I would do it all again, Just to know the loving friend that I found in you.
Forever doesn't make it real, It's the way I feel, when I think of you.
Forever doesn't make it real, It's the way we feel...
Forever.

My baby keeps me up all night with his lovin' ways.
My baby keeps me up all night with his lovin' ways.

Well, I get pretty tired working all day long,
Boss says that I'm draggin', wonders what the hell is wrong.
My baby keeps me up all night with his lovin' ways.

Well, he must've learned it somewhere in the Orient,
readin' all the books about the pleasures of man.
Wherever he learned it, I don't really want to know,
it doesn't pay to advertise, when you've got the gold.

My baby keeps me up all night with his lovin' ways.
My baby keeps me up all night with his lovin' ways.

He's a different kind of man, kinda quiet, kinda shy...
You never would believe the things he does to me at night.
When we get together with the lights down low,
there's a fire burning, ragin' out of control...

My baby keeps me up all night with his lovin' ways.
My baby keeps me up all night with his lovin' ways.

Get your groove on, Baby get your groove on, Honey get your groove on, and get out on the floor.
Get your groove on, Oh get your groove on, Daddy get your groove on, and lets dance some more.

You can spin me over there, you can flip me in the air,
and honey you can think that you're the king of swing.
You can slide me across the floor, swing your hips around some more,
but baby I got moves that you ain't never seen.

Get your groove on, Baby get your groove on,
Honey get your groove on, and get out on the floor.
Get your groove on, Oh get your groove on, Daddy get your groove on,
and lets dance some more.

Well you can jump over my head, I'll do the splits instead,
honey at this speed I almost feel alive.
Now you can swing me round your back, pull me through your legs like that,
Baby everyone here knows we can really jive.

Baby got to get up, baby got to get out, baby got to get it on
Baby got to get up, baby got to get out, baby got to get it on
Baby got to get up, baby got to get out, baby got to get it on

Get your groove on, Baby get your groove on,
Honey get your groove on, and get out on the floor.
Get your groove on, Oh get your groove on, Daddy get your groove on,
and lets dance some more.

for Laurin Aycox and Christina Brandon, always in my heart

You gotta live your life like this day might be your last.
Don't worry about tomorrow, let go of the past.
Say please and say thank you, Say I love you more everyday...
but you say it in your own way, In your own way.

When I'm in an airplane and I don't have control,
I hold on to the armrest like I'll never let go.
The faces of my loved ones flash like cards before my eyes I say,
"I love you, I love you" if this falls from the sky...

You gotta live your life like this day might be your last.
Don't worry about tomorrow, let go of the past.
Say please and say thank you, Say I love you more everyday...
but you say it in your own way, In your own way.

And if your wife gets in an accident on her way to work,
Will you feel so ashamed, will you feel like a jerk.
Just call and say,
"I'm sorry that we fought that way,
I'm sorry for the words when we are angry."

You gotta live your life like this day might be your last.
Don't worry about tomorrow, let go of the past.
Say please and say thank you, Say I love you more everyday...
but you say it in your own way, In your own way.

Do you think that they'll know...
well, I hope so, But I guess that I don't know.
So I tell myself when I get down I'm gonna call them on the phone..
I'm gonna tell them when I get home.

You gotta hug your children, Even when they don't hug back.
Tell your daughter that she's smart, She's the best at running track.
Tell your son he is handsome, and he is so kind.
Go out after dinner and catch fireflies.

You gotta live your life like this day might be your last.
Don't worry about tomorrow, let go of the past.
Say please and say thank you, Say I love you more everyday...
but you say it in your own way, In your own way.

Eagle, eagle fly up high, way beyond the clouds.
Fly up past the moon and sun,
you have to fly cause you can't run.

Well you can't catch an eagle in the summer time flying across the sea,
you gotta catch that eagle in the winter time frozen to a tree,
that big winged devil, I shot him dead, he never did get me.

I got his feathers in my hat, and in my lady's bonnet,
I got his feathers in my bed and I lay myself upon it.
His beak is now my carving tool, it makes a fine design.
Carves rings around my steel-edged blade, while I whittle away my time.

His giant claws with all his strength, could steal away a cow.
They're sitting on my kitchen table, holding candles now.
His giant claws with all their strength, once upon my shoulders,
They're sitting on my kitchen table and now they're candle holders.

Eagle, eagle fly up high, way beyond the clouds...
Fly up past the moon and sun,
you have to fly, cause you can't run.

My baby does the hanky panky,
my baby does the hanky panky,
my baby does the hanky panky,
my baby does the hanky panky.

I saw him walking on down the line,
You know it was the very first time,
Good lookin' man standing all alone,
You know I want to take him home...

My baby does the hanky panky,
my baby does the hanky panky,
my baby does the hanky panky,
my baby does the hanky panky.
