WHEN YOU SAID YOU WOULD BE MINE.
THAT’S WHEN I LOST SENSE OF TIME.
I KNOW YOU’LL BE TRUE
I FELL IN LOVE WHEN I MET YOU THE FIRST TIME,
I WAS SO YOUNG, I DID NOT KNOW MY OWN MIND.
I KNOW YOU’LL BE TRUE.
WHEN I FIRST SAW YOUR WONDERFUL SMILE,
A FEELING CAME OVER ME I COULD NOT DESCRIBE.
LET’S GET ON OUR HORSES AND RIDE.
UP TO THE COUNTRYSIDE WHERE WE MET.
WHEN WE WERE KIDS.
OUR PARENTS WITH COTTAGES ON THE SAME LAKE.
WE CLIMBED TREES, WE SCRAPED ON KNEES,
ON THOSE LONG LONG, HOT SUMMER DAYS.
YOUR PLAYING TAUGHT ME HOW TO SHARE.
YOUR LOVING TAUGHT ME HOW TO CARE.
I KNOW YOU’LL BE TRUE,
I FELL IN LOVE WHEN I MET YOU THE FIRST TIME,
I WAS SO YOUNG, I DID NOT KNOW MY OWN MIND.
I KNOW YOU’LL BE TRUE.
WHEN I FIRST SAW YOUR WONDERFUL SMILE,
A FEELING CAME OVER ME I COULD NOT DESCRIBE.
LET’S GET ON OUR HORSES AND RIDE.
TO THE CABIN WHERE WE FIRST KISSED,
WE WERE JUST KIDS,
OUR PARENTS INSIDE HAVING LUNCH.
HOLDING HANDS UNDER THE TABLE,
SNEAKING OUT OF OUR HOUSES,
SHARING A SLEEPING BAG UNDER THE STARS.
TOMORROW YOU'LL FLY BACK TO THE CITY.
TO GO TO YOUR COLLEGE, WHY I STAY HERE TO
HELP MY PARENTS OUT.

xavier fox-vocals at end;
WAS WALKING DOWN THE STREET, HAD SOMEONE TO MEET.
HAD ME SOME TIME, THAT JUST BLEW MY MIND.
WHEN A SMELL SO SWEET, MADE ME STOP MY FEET.
MADE ME DROP MY JAW, MADE ME START TO BLEAT.
AN AROMA, NEARLY PUT ME IN A COMA.
WAFTING IN THE AIR, MADE ME STOP AND STARE.
A FRAGRANCE, NEARLY PUT ME IN A TRANCE.
WHAT WAS THAT FLAVOR I WAS DESPERATE TO SAVOR?
THERE'S A BAKERY WITH ITS DOOR WIDE OPEN.
DAY OLD TREATS, IS WHAT I WAS HOPING.
PEOPLE IN LINE THERE WERE PEOPLE WHO DINED.
LOVER'S HOLDING HANDS INTERTWINED
PEOPLE SWAYING AND SMILING AS THEY STOOD.
IN A ROOM FILLED SWEET DELICIOUS FOOD.
BEHIND THE COUNTER A CHOREOGRAPHED TEAM.
BEAUTIFUL LADIES AGE 20 TO 60.
NO NEED FOR NAPKINS, JUST USE YOUR LIPS.
STICKY BUNS COVER YOUR FINGERTIPS.
CHERRY PIE DRIBBLE ON MY CHIN.
LADYFINGERS GO INSIDE MY MOUTH.
HOT FROTHY LATTE LACED WITH GIN.
TARTS THAT WANT TO BE EATEN.
TURNOVER GINGERSNAPS, GIVE ME THE POUND CAKE.
SWEET, SWEET SWEET, SWEETS.
OLD MAN, YOU GOT GOUT ON YOUR FEET.
TIME TO INJECT INSULIN.
YOUR HAND IS IN THE COOKIE JAR.
HOW DID I END UP IN THIS GONDOLA?
WITH A BAG OF SWEETS AND MY SHIRT ALL RIPPED?
WHAT AM I DOING HERE IN VENICE?
WITH A WOMAN WHO SAYS SHE IS MY VENUS?
UH OH, UH OH, OH NO, OH NO, UH OH, OH NO
THAT WOMAN HAS DROPPED HER PIE SO WHAT SHE GETS A NEW ONE, YUM?-Xavier

WORKED FOR A COMPANY, WHERE DATING CO-WORKERS WAS NOT ALLOWED.
I WORKED REAL HARD, KEPT MY NOSE CLEAN,
I WAS A COMPANY WOMAN.
I WENT TO A MEETING, WHERE A MAN FROM THE SALES DEPARTMENT,
HEARD MY REPORT, I FELL IN LOVE.
(SHE WAS SO BEAUTIFUL AND SMART).
HE WAS SO NICE TO ME
ALL OF MY LIFE I HAVE LOOKED FOR SOMEONE TO LOVE AND I FOUND YOU.
WHAT DO I DO, FELL IN LOVE WITH SOMEONE I AM NOT SUPPOSE TO LOVE.
THE NEXT DAY WE SAW EACH OTHER IN THE HALL, AND HE COMPLEMENTED ME ON MY PRESENTATION,
WE STARTED TO SEE OTHER IN THE COFFEE ROOM,
WE WOULD MEET FOR LUNCH.
(SHE SAID TO ME),
“WE SHOULD GO OUT TONIGHT,
I KNOW THE PERFECT PLACE FOR US TO BE ALONE”.
I COULD HARDLY THINK AT WORK.
WE WERE TOGETHER, IT WAS SO SWEET.
I WENT HOME WITH HIM.
WE WOKE UP TOGETHER, KISSED EACH OTHER GOODBYE.
PRETENDED WE HARDLY KNEW EACH OTHER AT WORK.

madison kepnes-lilith's vocals;
I WOULD NAME EVERYTHING IN THE FOREST.
I WOULD BASK IN THE WARMTH.
I WOULD EAT THE FRUIT LAID OUT IN FRONT OF ME.
I WOULD REVEL IN, EVE'S LOINS.
I'LL IGNORE THE SERPENTS, NOT GO OUTSIDE THE WALL
I WILL DO ALL YOU COMMAND, AND NOT WORSHIP OTHER GODS.
AND WHEN EVE OFFERS ME KNOWLEDGE, I WILL PLAY DUMB.
PLEASE BRING LILITH BACK TO ME, SHE'S MY ONLY LOVE.
I WILL NOT HAVE GODS BEFORE ME, YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE.
I WILL DO EVERYTHING YOU ASK ME, SACRIFICE MY SON.
I WILL NOT EAT LOBSTER, PIG OR LAY WITH ANOTHER MAN.
BRING LILITH BACK TO ME, SHE'S MY ONLY LOVE.
CONSPIRACY WOMAN IS A SWEET SWEET THING.
SHE SHAKES HER HIPS AND LAUGHS AT ME.
WHEN SHE HOWLS, I COVER HER MOUTH.
WITH LONG LONG KISSES AND A BIG BIG HUG.
I TURNED LEFT, I RAN RIGHT, I LOOKED EVERYWHERE, THROUGH THE HAZE.
CIRCLED BACK, KEPT MENTAL NOTE, YEARS OF LOOKING, MADE IT OUT OF THE MAZE.
EVE WANTS ME TO WAIT ON HER, SHE WANTS ME TO BE HER MAID.
IF WE ARE EQUAL IN GOD'S EYES, WHY DO I HAVE TO BE HER SLAVE?
GOD, I DISOBEYED YOU ONCE. NOW I CAN'T HAVE YOUR LOVE?
YOU MADE ME, IN YOUR IMAGE, WHY CAN'T I HAVE YOUR LOVE?
I WILL IGNORE THE SERPENTS, NOT GO OUTSIDE THE WALL
I WILL DO ALL YOU COMMAND, AND NOT WORSHIP OTHER GODS.
AND WHEN EVE OFFERS ME KNOWLEDGE, I WILL PLAY DUMB.
PLEASE BRING LILITH BACK TO ME, SHE'S MY ONLY LOVE.
I WILL NOT HAVE GODS BEFORE ME, YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE.
I WILL DO EVERYTHING YOU ASK ME, SACRIFICE MY SON.
I WILL NOT EAT LOBSTER, PIG OR LAY WITH ANOTHER MAN.
BRING LILITH BACK TO ME, SHE'S MY ONLY LOVE.

dan kepnes-drums;
YOU WERE SURPRISED TO SEE ME TONIGHT, AS I WAS WITH YOU.
YOU WORK WITH THE BRIDE, I WENT TO SCHOOL WITH THE GROOM.
YOU LOOK GREAT IN THAT DRESS. I TOLD YOU THIS.
YOU SNEERED BACK AT ME, ASKED IF I WORE A WIG?
OH YOU'RE STILL MAD AT ME.
WE WENT OUT ON ONE DATE.
GOOD GOD THAT WAS 5 YEARS AGO.
YOU SWORE YOU WOULD NEVER LOVE ME,
EVEN IF I WAS THAT LAST MAN ON EARTH.
YOU IGNORE ME FROM CLOSE, STARE AT ME FROM AFAR.
I KEEP SMILING FROM A DISTANCE, TO WARM UP YOUR HEART.
YOU LOOK GREAT IN THAT DRESS, YOUR HAIR LOOKS SO NICE.
I WISH I HADN’T HAD WHISKEY, AFTER WE HAD WINE.
OH BOY WAS I DRUNK, I WAS A COMPLETE FOOL.
GOOD GOD THAT WAS 5 YEARS AGO.
NOW THE LAST MAN ON EARTH WANTS ANOTHER CHANCE WITH YOU.
CHAMPAGNE GOES TO OUR HEADS. SWIRLS OF GOLD AND RED.
I FORGOT JUST HOW BEAUTIFUL YOU ARE.
GIVE ME ANOTHER CHANCE, LET'S HAVE THIS MAGICAL DANCE.
THE LAST MAN ON EARTH WANTS YOU IN HIS ARMS.
WERE SEATED AT THE SAME TABLE. YOUR CHAIR NEXT TO MINE.
WE ARE ALL LAUGHING HAVING A GOOD TIME.
YOU LOOK GREAT IN THAT DRESS, YOU SMELL SO GOOD
YOU COMPLIMENT ME, DRESSED IN MY SUIT.
OOH, YOU'RE SO FUNNY, CLEVER WITH YOUR WIT.
TURN AND LOOK ME DIRECTLY IN MY EYES.
THE LAST MAN ON EARTH IS IN LOVE WITH YOU.
CHAMPAGNE GOES TO OUR HEADS. SWIRLS OF GOLD AND RED.
I FORGOT JUST HOW BEAUTIFUL YOU ARE.
GIVE ME ANOTHER CHANCE, LET'S HAVE THIS MAGICAL DANCE.
THE LAST MAN ON EARTH WANTS YOU IN HIS ARMS.

SHE LOVES THE MOONLIGHT.
WHEN THE GREYS COME OUT, SHE COMES ALIVE.
SHE SEES THINGS IN THE SHADOWS THAT I HAVE NEVER SEEN.
SHE TELLS ME ABOUT CHILDREN THAT PLAYED IN THIS NEIGHBORHOOD OVER A 100 YEARS AGO.
YOUR BROWN EYES MIX WITH MY BLUE EYES THEY INTERTWINE,
WHEN WE LAY DOWN YOUR HAIR COVERS US BOTH.
THE AIR WE SHARE, OUR HEARTS BEAT SO CLOSE,
I FEEL LIKE I’M SLIDING UNDER THE EARTH.
IT’S SO HARD TO GET MY BABY UP
SHE SEEMS TO WANT TO SLEEP ALL DAY.
SHE LAYS THERE, SO FAIR, HER BEAUTIFUL HAIR.
SHE SITS UP IN BED, DRINKS HER TEA
READ POETRY TO ME UNTIL IT’S DARK.
MY BLUE EYES MIX WITH YOUR BROWN EYES THEY INTERTWINE,
WHEN WE LAY DOWN YOUR HAIR COVERS US BOTH.
THE AIR WE SHARE, OUR HEARTS BEAT SO CLOSE,
I FEEL LIKE I’M SLIDING UNDER THE EARTH.

THIS CITY LIVING IS MESSED UP, ISN'T CRACKED UP T0 WHAT IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE.
I GOT A CO-WORKER WANTING TO TAKE ME OUT, BOUGHT ME FLOWERS, THAT'S NICE.
THE GUY DOWNSTAIRS IS MARRIED TO A WIFE WHO IGNORES HIM, SO HE BOUGHT HIMSELF A SPORTS CAR.
I'M PRETTY SURE THAT'S WHO I SAW WALKING OUT OF THE HOTEL.
THIS PLACE IS FILLED WITH MEN TRYING TO BUY LOVE.
OOH, GO AHEAD AND TRY TO WINE AND DINE ME.
OOH, GO AHEAD, I’LL PLAY THAT GAME.
I'M GETTING RESTLESS, THINKING OF STEPPING ON SOME TOES,
I'M TIRED OF THIS COCOON, THINKING OF BREAKING OUT,
I'LL BE MORE THAN YOU'LL EVER NEED.
I'LL GIVE YOU LOVE YOU'VE NEVER SEEN.
YOU WILL KNOW EVERY DAY MY LOVE.
YOU WILL KNOW WHAT IT IS TO BE LOVED.
THIS CITY LIVING IS MESSED UP, AINT CRACKED UP TO WHAT IT IS SUPPOSED TO BE.
THE RENTS ARE TOO HIGH, THE WATER TASTES LIKE COINS.
IT SMELLS LIKE SHIT EVERY SPRING.
I'M PRETTY SURE THAT'S CHEATING COUPLE WALKING OUT OF A HOTEL.
THE PLACE IS FILLED WITH MEN TRYING TO BUY LOVE.
LONELY WIVES LOOKING FOR SOMETHING DIFFERENT.
NEITHER SEEING THE PERSON THEY ONCE LOVED.
OOH, GO AHEAD AND TRY TO WINE AND DINE ME.
OOH, GO AHEAD, I''LL PLAY THAT GAME
I'M GETTING RESTLESS, THINKING OF STEPPING ON SOME TOES.
I'M TIRED OF THIS COCOON, THINKING OF BREAKING OUT.
I'LL BE MORE THAN YOU'LL EVER NEED.
I'LL GIVE YOU LOVE YOU'VE NEVER SEEN.
YOU WILL KNOW EVERY DAY MY LOVE.
YOU WILL KNOW WHAT IT IS TO BE LOVED.
I FEEL LIKE I HAD ENOUGH.
I FEEL LIKE I'M LOSING MY MIND.
I'M GETTING RESTLESS, GONNA STEP ON SOME TOES, MAYBE BREAK SOME HEARTS, GONNA SHAKE THINGS UP.
I'M TIRED OF THIS COCOON, YOU BIG BUFFOON, I'M GONNA BREAK OUT, GONNA FLY DOWN THE ROAD.
I GAVE YOU MORE LOVE THAN YOU HAVE EVER SEEN, YOU SAW EVERYTHING AS A TRANSACTION, INCLUDING ME.
I GAVE YOU LOVE EVERY DAY, YOU NEVER RETURNED LOVE TO ME.
I AM LEAVING THIS CITY, BEFORE YOU RETURN, I'LL BE THE SWEETEST BUTTERFLY TO SOMEONE ELSE.

ECCENTRIC;
I COULDN’T FIND MYSELF.
I COULDN’T DO ANYTHING.
DIDN’T WANT TO LEAD ON, I WAS LOSING MY MIND.
HIRED ME A LAWYER, IVY LEAGUE.
SHE PLEADED MY CASE.
TOLD THE JUDGE, “I HAD LOST MY MIND.”
A REAL PIT BULL SHE WAS.
UNTIL MY CHECKS STARTED TO BOUNCE.
THAT’S WHEN SHE GOT ON MY CASE.

SHAKE YOUR HIPS, POUT YOUR LIPS.
TURN YOUR THIGH, SQUINT YOUR EYES.
I LOVE IT WHEN YOU PLAY WITH ME LIKE A TOY.
WORD GAMES, PET NAMES.
LOVE NOTES, SILLY QUOTES.
I LOVE IT WHEN YOU TREAT ME LIKE I AM YOUR BOY.
ADD-ON, TAKE OFF
RUN DOWN, MAKE-UP
GO OVER, UNDERWEAR? OVER HERE
PITCHER, BELLY ITCHER
LEG UP, WAY AHEAD,
CAN'T STOMACH, SHOULDER THE BLAME
DEAF EAR, OVERHEAR
NO, NO, NO, NO, AYE AYE AYE, AYE.
MOUTHY, TAKE IT ON THE CHIN.
ADDITION, TACTICIAN
SUBTRACTION, MORTICIAN.
MULTIPLY, OH BOY YOU ARE FERTILE.
DISTRACT ME WITH YOUR LOVE AND KISSES.
THIS SENSATION IS WHAT I HAVE BEEN MISSING.
TOMORROW WE GO BACK TO THE GRIND.
BUT TODAY YOU ARE ALL MINE.
YOU ARE PLAYFUL, MISCHIEVOUS, SO GIRLISH
YOU KEPT THE FIRE BLAZING SINCE I MET YOU.
WHEN YOU ARE HOME YOU ARE KIND YOU ARE LOVING.
YOU HAVE ALL MY ATTENTION WHEN YOU LOOK AT ME.

LEPRECHAUN WOMEN ARE HOMELY I HEAR
THE ONLY THING A REAL LEPRECHAUN FEARS.
THEY TURN ON THEIR CHARM AND PLY YOU WITH BEER.
THAT'S WHEN THEY WANT TO RUT LIKE DEER.
PIXIES AND FAERIES YOU BETTER STAY WEARY.
WHEN A LEPRECHAUN LADY PUTS IT IN GEAR.
ELVES AND GNOMES, YOU BETTER RUN HOME.
TIS' NOT THE WOMAN YOU WANT TO ENDEAR.
THERE ARE BEAUTIES IT'S TRUE OF THE LEPRECHAUN KIND
SIREN LIKE VOICES THAT CONTROL YOUR MIND
YOU BETTER NOT LISTEN OR LOOK IN HER EYES.
HER RED HAIR WILL LEAD YOU INTO THE DEVIL'S FIRE.
TALES OF A LONELY TEEN.
WENT FOR A WALK AND WAS NEVER SEEN.
SOME SAID HE WAS TURNED INTO A TREE.
SO HE COULD NEVER LEAVE HER.
IS IT TRUE AROUND HER FIRE?
FOREST OF MEN CAUGHT IN HER DESIRE.
SOME WENT GLADLY, SOME WERE TRICKED.
WOULD IT MATTER IF IT WAS LOVE?
THE MOST BEAUTIFUL LEPRECHAUN LADY BROUGHT AWE.
THOUGH SHE STOOD NO MORE THAT 5 FEET TALL.
OGRES AND IMPS WOULD TRIP OVER AND FALL.
THEIR EYES NOT LEAVING HER UNTIL THE DAWN.
LEPRECHAUN WOMEN BUILD FIRES AT DUSK.
KEG ALE SPIKED WITH PIXIE DUST.
IT TAKES ONLY ONE SIP TO FEEL THE RUSH.
MOONLIGHT MAGNIFIES HER BUST.
DWARFS AND FAUNS, DON'T LET YOUR GUARD DOWN.
IT MIGHT SEEM LIKE LOVE BUT IT IS REALLY JUST LUST
NYMPHS AND SPRITES YOU BETTER TAKE FLIGHT
THERE IS NOTHING SHE OFFERS YOU CAN TRUST.

I’M NOT SURE WHAT THE FUTURE HAS IN STORE,
BUT I’M PRETTY SURE I’LL HAVE LUNCH.
BRIBED LAWMAKERS SAY, “IT WILL ALL BE FINE.”
AND THE LOBBYISTS, THAT WINE AND DINE.
MOUNTAINS OF BURNED FUEL DO NOT MAGICALLY DISAPPEAR.
EXECUTIVES SAY, “IT WILL ALL BE FINE.
LIKE THE SUN KING, UNTIL YOU DIE.”
HULA-HOOPS, HACKY-SACK, LINE DRAWN IN THE SAND IS 7,000 YEARS.
HATE SCIENCE, LOVE DOCTORS, HATE FACTS, LOVE GEOLOGY AND OIL WELLS.
9 BILLION SOULS ARE GOING TO SEE JESUS THIS CENTURY. AMEN
9 BILLION BURIED, CREMATED, LEFT TO ROT.
THAT’S 90 MILLION YEARLY, THE CALCULATION I GOT.
245,000 ARE GOING TO MEET THEIR MAKER EACH DAY.
10,000 ARE GOING TO GO TO THE PEARLY GATES EACH HOUR.
EACH MINUTE, 170 SOULS ARE GOING TO LEAVE THEIR BODY.
9 BILLION SOULS ARE GOING TO SEE JESUS THIS CENTURY. AMEN. AMEN.
