Intro music hook
Verse
You know I would like to have my cake and eat it to
Then I could never have a girl quite like you
Feeling your breath against my chest so warm and wet
With you in my arms there's no higher feelin' I'v had yet
B section
So I hope you're with me when I stumble and fall
Please come pick me up when you see me crawl
Chorus
I'm just a babe in the woods I'm not meant for this jungle at all
I just got sucked in now I want it to end you know I'm not that tall
Intro music hook
Verse
Love is the kind of game you have to take in sips
Like candy one minute on the lips then forever on the hips
You try it you like it you buy it it bites you right back
There's no drug or no cure it will bite you for sure in the sack
B section
So I hope you're with me when I stumble and crawl
Please come pick me up when you see me fall
Chorus
I'm just a babe in the woods I'm not meant for this jungle at all
Just got sucked in now I want it to end you know I'm not that tall
I'm just a babe in the woods I'm not meant for this jungle at all
I just got sucked in now I want it to end you know I'm not that tall
I'm just a babe in the woods I'm not meant for this jungle at all
I just got sucked in now I want it to end you know I'm not that tall
Painted Face
Written & Performed by Banford Steven Hill Copyright 2007 Library of Congress Register of Copyrights
Intro
Verse
Yes you don't have me in your pocket
And yes that scares you half to death
Cause I'm a screaming jeanie rocket
Sharing all but my last breath
Because I don't fall down on my knees
You'd put a bullet in my brain
But there's an army behind me coming who believe
That what you've done is quite insane
Bridge
You've spilled your poison's in the soil
Killed little children just for oil
That sleeping snakes about to coil
Taking all cool waters to a boil
Verse
There's more at stake here then just money
But you just laugh and think that's funny
Someday the mirror will look back at you
Chorus
And turn your painted face to blue
And turn that your painted face to blue
And turn your painted face to blue
And turn your painted face to blue
And turn your painted painted face to blue

Verse
Became a slumlord in 5 minutes
The boardwalk took his cash

One Adam steals the show

Verse
That get out of jail free card

But I roll & roll & roll on
And my money just gets jerked
Well I don't expect a mansion
Just a little piece of pie
But neither party either cares
But the republicans want me to die
Chorus
It's all a lie a monopoly
It's all a lie a monopoly
It's all a lie a monopoly
It's all a lie a monopoly a monopoly a monopoly monopoly monopoly

In The Kitchen

Intro Hook Music
Verse
And I can still see her in the kitchen
Funny thing she never did cook
And I can still hear her bitchin'
Oh but what a great look
And I can picture her in the bedroom
Bottle of asprin on call
I used to call it the dead room
Couldn't get a rise from her at all
Bridge
Never starts out with an ending Now I sit in this prison cell
That's the last thing on your mind One moment I went crazy & blind
Sincerity turns into pretending My jealousy pulled that ol' trigger
It's just a matter of time Now I'm just doin' time
Verse
And I can still hear her bitchin'
But funny thing she never did talk
She always managed to get her kicks in
I knew sooner or later she would walk
Bridge
And if you believed it could never end I'd wish i had not did it at all
Would you ever start love up at all But that's all just pretend
It always takes such a clever bend It's just so hard learning to fall
But it's so hard learning to fall Now my memory' s never end
Verse
And I can still see her in the kitchen
Funny thing she never did cook
Not Afraid To Die
Written & Performed by Banford Steven Hill Copyright 2007 library of Congress Register of Copyrights
Intro Hook Music
Verse
The moan in your voice tells me everything I need to know
Trying so hard to mask but everything shows
Playing the part of a puppet caught in the strings
Deep down I know you know everything
Chorus
Now your up then you're down
With a long list of pains
All the Doctors keep saying not to do that again
Verse
You trip and you fall down the same day after day
Dieing in darkness with no light to show you the way
You don't need a soul or a heart with money to burn
But burnings the only way you've been taught to learn
Chorus
First your up then you're down
With a long list of pains
All the Doctors keep saying not to do that again
Bridge
If you're not afraid to die then what are you afraid of
No If you're not afraid to die then what is it exactly that are you're afraid of
If you're not afraid to die then then you have nothing to be afraid of
No If you're not afraid to die you have nothing to be afraid of
Verse
If you stop being crazy then one day you won't be insane
And if you don't like this life then you can play another game
Chorus
First your up then you're down
With a long list of pains
All the Doctors keep telling not to do that again
Bridge
If you're not afraid to die then what are you afraid of
If you're not afraid to die then what is it exactly that are you're afraid of
No If you're not afraid to die then you have nothing to be afraid of
No If you're not afraid to die you have nothing to be afraid of
Then you have nothing to be afraid of
Afraid to die

Intro
Verse
He felt the hurt in place's that no one sees
But everyone feels that pain it's the same dis-ease
You walk around pretending with smiles all on your face
Hiding hurt & pain is now how we know our place
B Section
I know it I know it I know love works in the movies I feel it I feel it I feel it love works
Chorus
In the gutters one the TV in little poems in all that we read
In a coma or when you're dreaming what a sweet aroma
But it doesn't ever work in real life
Verse
I feel it so deep so deep inside my bones But all that love has left me is all alone
You know it when it hits you cause it hurts so hard
Now all that love is buried deep down in your backyard
B Section
I believe I believe I believe love works in short stories
I know it I feel it i believe love works
Bridge
But not here & not now it got lost a long time ago To much fear & no place left to go
Bridge different chord changes
Deep down you know it won't work
But you've been taught that it would so you believe
You're not in control you're just being jerked
So why do you still believe .................in love
Verse
Love's an empty sky with a lonely cloud floating around
And if you try to hold it all the rains come pouring down
Fills up all space & time hiding in the cold cold air
And when your try to hold it it leaves you with burning despair
B Section
I know it I know it I know love works in the movies I feel it I feel it I feel it love works
Chorus
In the gutters on the TV in little poems in all that we read
In a coma or when you're dreaming In the gutters one the TV in little poems in all that we read
In a coma or when you're dreaming in all that we read In a coma what a sweet aroma
But it doesn't ever work in real life

Verse
How can you see the light if you're staring into the sun
How do you walk through life when you're always on the run
When do you know you're having a good time if you're always having fun
Even when you're loaded you're shooting blanks out of the gun
Chorus
Kick me out or let me in slam it shut or open up
Shower me with all your pain I can never get enough
Verse
You're always so busy looking in all the wrong places
And all the TV see's is a billion blank faces
To little love with always end up a whole lot of lust
Niel Young had it right everything sleeps but the rust
Chorus
Kick me out or let me in slam it shut or open up
Shower me with all your pain I can never get enough
Kick me out or let me in slam it shut or open up
Shower me with all your pain I can never get enough
Chorus 2
I knew that sooner or later I was going to end up all wound up
I knew that sooner or later I was going to find out enough isn't enough
I knew that sooner or later I was going to find out that too much is never enough
I knew that sooner or later I knew that sooner or later

There would be no showing Empty is the end
Without caring No one would be sharing There would just be staring

Just faithless emoting A carnival of tears

Rabbits in a fence Empty out the mind
Without learning All we are is burning
Endless flow of yearning

Emptynessineyes

Verse
Without touching We are only rusting
Constantly crushing Who we really are

Now it's our decision To look and find the truth
Without a story Warriors without glory
Put alitlle more read In a Nobel life
Without loving All we are is shoving
What we should be loving

Give a little listen Heal the wounded soul

Intro
Verse
So you're locked up in seclusion
Thinking the world's an illusiuon'Hiding in a box With all the doors locked
There's is only one solution
It's bigger then you've imagined
You don't have to worry about fashion
Don't kick me again please I'll stay down on my knees
Looks like it's time to cash in
Chorus
I just want to do to sleep and I pray to go to keep
Oh how I just want to go to sleep
Verse
The world is anding in a panic
No reason to get all frantic
All the nature we've abused It's there time to use
Some would call it satanic
To many buttons have been pressed
Can't you feel all the unrest
Now it's time to go Hope ypou all enjoyed the show
Aren't you all happy you passed the test
Chorus
I just want to do to sleep and I pray to go to keep
Oh how I just want to go to sleep
I just want to do to sleep and I pray to go to keep
Oh how I just want to go to sleep
I just want to do to sleep and I pray to go to keep
Oh how I just want to go to sleep
I just want to do to sleep and I pray to go to keep
Oh how I just want to go to sleep
