On a Wall Street Monday
I've lost direction
This aint my station
I'm calling your name
Won't it ever be the same
Vanilla Fog
Its clouding my mind
I can't make no sense
Of what I left behind
I'm in its suspense

Taste its completeness

Dead End Street (My suggestions as per 3/2/99)
You're sitting at the wheel
My life's on the seat
Can't help but feel we're on a
Dead end street
Just drive on a bit careful
Could be a hard ride
Don't stop for nobody
Stop seeing red lights
Just cos it feels like the wrong way
Driving on dead end street
Chorus:
You're at the wheel, the wheel of my emotions
You're driving hard, driving right through my heart
Can't help but feel I'm headed in the wrong direction
Driving the wrong way, driving on a dead end street
We've been pushing too long
Driving in the fog
I'm getting tired of this
Empty dialogue
You can pull on over
Push me out the side
But you'll still be pointing
At a dead end sign
Chorus
Where its going you'll never know
I see the lights burn in your eyes
Or is it fear of your own night blindness
Drivin the wrong way, driving on a dead end street

Where are you going, (does it have to end)
C Gm7 Bb Dm7 Gm7 C Gm7 Bb
Where are you going, (Will you be back again)

With the stars to light your way
Wait until the full moon
Things might change
You'll need more than silver
A photo from your past
Won't you take a single thing
To remember me
Chorus

My Love's Online
(Rap)
Classical intro (based on Corelli trio)
I'm caught in a red web my mind is like a dead fed
Surfing like a nethead lost all my streetcred
My fingers are tapping I don't know what's happenin
Looking for some action dressed like Charlie Chaplin
Peddling in some software breathing in the stale air
Baby's bouncing there with all your freeware
Baby do you dare share or would you care to bare
Sixty seconds staring at your body's hair
This is a real deal I can even hear you squeal
Cyberchicks don't even need a free meal
I got it all for me on my digital TV
And noboby knows but the AT & T
Do you know, do you know how it feels
My love's on line my love is real
I'm in your domain don't even know your first name
Your always the same I'm your newest bestest old flame
Staring like a greek geek my eyes are goin tweak tweak
I'll be your heat seek seven nights a cheap week
You can call me brother I could be your mother
Your only other lover's the DA undercover
Your pic is on my homepage I stole it from your birdcage
It looks like I'm kinda strange and we could be the same age
This is really me don't give me your sympathy
My other car's a super V I could've been a Bruce Lee
So I'm hooked on IT I lied on my CV
And you're on my drive as a amateur JPG
Do you know, do you know how it feels
My love's on line my love is real

Before the long drive home to winter
And lives we didn’t want

You come in the cloak of night
Slide silently through moonswept sky
to my door
Make my dreams come alive
Your body sharp as a knife
Against my skin

You draw me to your lair

Reached through mountains of cold

I’m just playing a part in your Gothic romance
Em D Am7 Am7-D
And its breaking my heart I don’t stand a chance
This story comes from ancient lore
You changed the names made the characters more
appealing
Threw in a little extra gore
Some weird effects that make the ending sure
To horrify
I’ve got the right sort of face
I fitted the misformed cast
At the wrong time in the wrong place
A walk-on role that ends too fast

I’m trying so hard in your Gothic romance
And its tearing me apart doing all I can
