BEAUTIFUL
Words & Music by Arlin Godwin / 1997

She got the caviar,
She got the limosine,
She got the finest ass,
You ever seen,
She got the penthouse suite,
On the 19th floor,
She'll steal your heart,
Come back for more,
She'll tell you lies,
She'll compromise you,
'til you realize,
That you're a goner,
(You're a goner baby)
You know she's not the kinda girl,
You're gonna wanna take home,
To your momma,
Uh-uh-uh,
She got silky hair,
She got eyes so blue,
She got ruby lips,
Kissin' up to you,
She got the sexy walk,
Got the longest legs,
Don't wanna hear you talk,
She wants to hear you beg,
She'll tell you lies,
She'll compromise you,
'til you realize,
That you're a goner,

You know she's not the kinda girl,
You're gonna wanna take home,
To your momma,

Beautiful, Mon cheri,

BLUE
Words & Music by Arlin Godwin / 2000

When you hear me turn it up,
You better run for cover,
When you hear me plug it in,
You better think it over,
Fat man cocaine jelly roll,
I think it's time I took a stroll,
To wander over pavement black,
I don't think I'm coming back,
I took all my pills and yet,
I'm blue,
When you see the statues cry,
You better run for cover,
When you see the angels fly,
It's fun to watch 'em hover,
Old brown coats and cigarettes,
Summer hasn't got here yet,
Balanced on the winter sky,
Sunlight shadow blackbirds fly,
It's been wonderful and yet,
I'm blue.

BODY OF MY LOVER
Words & Music by Arlin Godwin / 2000

I am,
Moving slowly,
Around me,
Everything is cool,
You are,
Getting clearer,
I can,
Hear your secret code,
Dying to discover,
Body of my lover,
Morning,
Glory climber,
Winding,
My way back to you,
Starlight,
Snow white roses,
Take me,
Where angels fear to tread,
Dying to discover,
Body of my lover,
Sweet thing,
Always smiling,
Open up and let me in,
I reach,
To your limits,
Kissing crimson cherry red,
Dying to discover,
Body of my lover...

BOY SEVENTEEN
Words & Music by Arlin Godwin / 2001

Boy number one,
Was incredibly fun,
And number two?
Well, he reminded me a whole lot of you,
Boy number three,
Was meaner than mean,
It doesn't matter,
I'm in love with boy seventeen,
It doesn't matter,
it doesn't matter...I'm in love,
Boy number four,
Was a ten dollar whore,
And number five?
Well, I'm afraid he's wanted dead or alive,
Boy number six,
Was in a porn magazine,
It doesn't matter,
I'm in love with boy seventeen,
It doesn't matter,
It doesn't matter...I'm in love,

CALIFORNIA
Words & Music by Arlin Godwin / 1997

On a cargo plane,
Over Mexico,
Gotta do a hit,
'cause we gotta lotta miles to go,
We're L.A. bound,
We won't let you down,
We got the shit,
To spin your world around and round,
California,
You're just like me,
A junkie looking for some ecstacy,
When they cure you,
And they set you free,
You'll go right back,
Where you started from,
So, you're up all night,
And you sleep all day,
For another bump,
You'd give your mortal soul away,
They say the monkey bites,
If you hold too tight,
You gotta loaded gun,
And you're sleeping,
With the light on,
California,
You're just like me...
A junkie looking for some ecstacy,
When they cure you,
And they set you free,
You'll go right back,
Where you started from,
You'll go back,
You'll go back,
You'll go back...to where you were before,
California,
You're just like me...

CRASH AND BURN
Words & Music by Arlin Godwin / 2000

I feel so funny lying here,
I think I broke the window dear,
The universe,
Has found a way,
To bring me down,
But everything you need to know,
Is lying in,
The January snow,
That falls,
And holds on fast,
To broken dreams,
And bloodstained glass,
I crash and burn,
Whenever I'm - whenever I'm a way from you,
I crash and burn, Whenever I'm - whenever I'm a way from you,
I don't know why you had to go,
And leave me in,
The February snow,
That falls inside my heart,
And freezes me,
Maybe you will find a way,
To kindly drop a line someday,
To tell me not to drink so much,
Or do my drugs,
I crash and burn,
Whenever I'm - whenever I'm a way from you,
I crash and burn, Whenever I'm - whenever I'm a way from you.

CRUEL CONVERSATION
Words & Music by Arlin Godwin / 1995

It's scandalously painful,
And harrowingly funny,
I'm not just trying to tie you up,
And I don't need your money,
But lately I've been seeing things,
I've never seen before,
I need you to explain it all,
I need to know the score,
Let's have a cruel conversation,
Talk about dispair and salvation,
Please, don't make me argue,
I wouldn't know what to say,
The urge to scream comes over me,
But lust gets in the way,
Lightning flashes in your eyes,
The organs fill with blood,
You want to put the screws to me,
I always knew you could,
Let's have a cruel conversation,
Talk about dispair and salvation,
You said I could be your Superman,
Do it in the air like Peter Pan,
Flat on our backs we'll understand,
It's not forever,
Life's not forever,
Don't want to be your fantasy,
I can't accept defeat,
If you force me to the wall,
I'm quite prepared to cheat,
The world aint like it used to be,
I'm not some virgin saint,
I make my life up every night,
With chains and gauze and paint,
Let's have a cruel conversation,
Talk about dispair and salvation.

DEAD
Words & Music by Arlin Godwin / 1996

Do you live a life of luxury and ease?
As much as possible,
Or do you cheat and steal and do as you please?
Why? Can't you do both?
How many times have you told a lie?
Oh, way too many times to count,
Do you have a job, hang out in the street or just get by?
Uh - I just get by,
Are you a politician, a preacher or a boy-in-the-hood?
I'm a Clingon,
Your daddy always said you was lazy and no damn good,
Oh, well screw him,
You'd probably like to grab a gun, put a uniform and go off to war, Mm-hmm,
Me? I'd rather just sit back, roll another weed and ask 'what for?', Nobody cares anyway,
We all end up the same damn way,
Inside a coffin on display,
When you're dead, you're dead, you're so dead,
You better live,
You better breathe deep,
'cause you born,
You grow up,
You get laid,
You get old,
Then you're dead, you're dead, you're so dead,
Are you a madman, a gangster or a fool?
No I'm a gun owner,
Did you get what you know from yourself or from some school? From the Bible,
Do you really believe in true love and romance?
I believe in Jesus,
Do you practice safe sex or just keep it in your pants?
I use latex,
Are you addicted to pills, booze or a bong?
All three,
When you get a chance to talk - do you go on too long?
Quite often yes,
Last night at dinner - do you have any idea how much food you ate? I had seconds and thirds,
Do you make love to a person or just masturbate?
Nobody cares anyway,
We all end up the same damn way,
Inside a coffin on display,
When you're dead, you're dead, you're so dead,
You better live,
You better breathe deep,
'cause you born,
You grow up,
You get laid,
You get old,
Then you're dead, you're dead, you're so dead.

DIM ALL THE LIGHTS
Words & Music by Arlin Godwin / 2001

Dim all the lights and take me home,
Where you and I can be alone,
To do all the things,
No one gets to see,
Gets to see...
Baby this is so good,
Baby this is so damn good,

Baby this is so god damned good,
Pour me a drink,
Unplug the phone,
You never have to be alone,
'cause I'm into you,
You're into me,
Let's get stoned,
Float away on our desire,
Feel the beat,
Turn up the fire,
Baby make me lose,
All control,
All control,
You make me lose,
All control,
Baby this is so good,
Baby this is so damn good,

Baby this is so god damned good,
Dim all the lights and take me home,
Where you and I can be alone,
To do all the things,
No one gets to see...

GROOVE THRU THE FLOOR
Words & Music by Arlin Godwin / 1994

Here in my dark room,
I feel the spirits call,
The candles flicker dimly and I crawl,
Upside, Down the wall,
I hear the wolves,
They howl baby and,
Midnight's drawing near,
So, Come on, Come on,
Okay,
Let's wear a groove thru the floor,
You know what I'm saying,
Come on,
Okay,
Let's wear a groove thru the floor,
Here in my dark room,
Behind the dungeon door,
I feel the spirit lift me and I float,
Sideways above the floor,
I got the Devil in my blood and I would,
Dance with you if you,
Said I could - so,
Come on,
Come on,
Okay,
Let's wear a groove thru the floor,
You know what I'm saying,
Come on,
Okay?
Let's wear a groove thru the floor,
Don't stop dancing - don't stop!
If you don't stop that pacing,
You'll wear a groove thru the floor,
Dance!
Wear a groove thru the floor...

ISABELLE
Words & Music by Arlin Godwin / 1997

This is my final act,
This is my final prayer,
Standing on a gothic ledge,
While all the sisters stare,
Jesus will you come,
And wash away my sins,
Don't you know by now,
There's an awful lot of them,
Satan knows my name,
Yeah, it's Isabelle,
If I'm not careful now,
I'll go straight to hell,
'cause all my weary days,
I lived a life of crime,
I'm only twenty-two,
But I'm running out of time,
Isabelle, Isabelle, Isabelle,
It's just as well,
I think I see the light,
I think I see the end,
So, open up the gates,
Of heaven,
Let me in,
Jesus will you come,
And wash away my sins,
Don't you know by now,
There's an awful lot of them,
Satan knows my name,
Yeah, it's Isabelle,
If I'm not careful now,
I'll go straight to hell,
'cause all my weary days,
I lived a life of crime,
I'm only twenty-two,
But I'm running out of time,
Isabelle, Isabelle, Isabelle,
It's just as well.

IT'S ABOUT YOUR SOUL
Words & Music by Arlin Godwin / 2001

It's about your soul,
And now nothing else matters,
Elvis in the mirror so divine,
Say, say,

It's about your soul,
And now nothing else matters,
Queer on the floor and dance some more,
Queer on the floor and dance some more,
Come on baby,
Shake it down,
Come on baby,
Shake it down, Shake it down,
Elvis, Elvis, Elvis...

And now nothing else matters,

Fuck it all - we could always turn it up,
Turn it up...
It's about your soul,
And now nothing else matters.

JOY (original version)
Words & Music by Arlin Godwin / 1995

The sun,
Pales beside the beauty of your face,
The moon,
Can't reflect the perfect isolation,
That I feel,
When I'm alone with you,
Joy!
When I'm with you,
You bring me joy,
I can't stop spinning,
Joy!
When I'm with you,
Can't stop spinning,
You could be the ruler of a nation,
Like a god upon a throne,
And I would stay with you,
And love you dear forever,
In your palace made of bronze and stone,
When I was invisible,
Still in my mother's womb,
(I could feel you)
Every single day,
(And now)
All along the way,
In the street,
To the city,
On a mountan or a hill,
In the sky,
Above the ocean,
I can feel my sweet love's devotion,
You bring me life...light and... CHORUS Joy!
When I'm with you,
You bring me joy,
I can't stop spinning, Joy!
When I'm with you,
I can't stop spinning, Joy.

LITTLE SISTER
Words & Music by Arlin Godwin / 1993

I'm doing time,
In this world,
That I am trapped in,
I count the days,
'til I go home,
Wherever that is,
Take me back to my mother,
Take me back to my father,
Little sister,
Won't you hold me close,
And let me dream of blue skies,
Over fields of green,
Where we played as children,
In the summer sun,
I won't forgive you,
If you don't forgive me,
And forget the things we said,
Under the screaming tree,
I'm growing old,
Much too old,
To be forgiven
I'm growing tired,
Of this skin,
That I was born in,
Take me back to my mother,
Take me back to my father,
Little sister,
Won't you hold me close,
And let me dream of blue skies,
Over fields of green,
Where we played as children,
In the summer sun,
I won't forgive you,
If you don't forgive me,
And forget the things we said,
Under the screaming tree,
Little sister, little sister, little sister...
I won't forgive you,
If you don't forgive me,
And forget the things we said,
Under the screaming tree,
Little sister,
Just remember.

LOVE IS A VIOLENT CRIME
Words & Music by Arlin Godwin / 1994

Baby baby,
Who's gonna think of nice things to say,
When I'm down?
And baby baby,
Who's gonna wipe my tears away,
When I'm blue?
When you're gone,
I feel so empty,
When you're gone,
I feel so cold,
Ooh, Nevermind,
Nevermind baby,
Looks like we're out of time,
Ooh, Nevermind,
Madmen and fools find out the hard way,
Love is a violent crime,
Baby baby,
Left all alone what will I do,
Without you?

Nothing to do,

I feel so empty,
When you're gone,
I feel so cold,
Ooh, Nevermind,
Nevermind baby,
Looks like we're out of time,
Ooh, Nevermind,
Madmen and fools find out the hard way,

MADNESS
Words & Music by Arlin Godwin / 1994

Somebody looking through my window,
Wants to come inside,
And ruin what remains of my mind,
But not my soul,
And treat me like a slave,
Like a spoiled child,
Except that I'm not,
I'm a man,
And I don't like bad jokes,
I know the world is a cruel place,
But this is madness,
And I'm in it,
Somebody's baby's on the doorstep and the bell is ringing,
Playing 'Dixie' backwards while the whole damn world goes to war,
I live and breathe among the poor among the ragged and the homeless,
I just forget what for,
People say we live like this because we want to,
It's okay to talk that way because it's not true,
Somebody hanging in the shadows,
Wants to tie me up and torture what remains of my heart,
But not my soul,
And treat me like a dog,
Like a black cat,
Except that I'm not,
I'm a man,
And I don't have nine lives,
I know the world is a cruel place,
But this is madness,
And I'm in it,
Somebody's baby's on the doorstep and the bell is ringing,
Playing 'Dixie' backwards while the whole damn world goes to war,
I live and breathe among the poor among the ragged and the homeless,
I just forget what for,
People say we live like this because we want to,
It's okay to talk that way because it's not true,
Well, well, well...love.

Be in touch my love,
Be in touch my love...
The Senator doesn't seem to be answering,
Pick up the phone god damn it!
Music for orgasm,
Music for orgasm...

NEVER BEEN IN LOVE BEFORE
Words & Music by Arlin Godwin / 1997

In the morning,
In the evening,
I can't get enough of you,
In the darkness,
When you hold me,
I know that your love true,
You could do anything that you want to me,
But don't touch this fragile reality,
I've never been in love before,
In the moonlight,
Under the street lamp,
I tell you 'bout my life before you,
How I was lonely,
But now I'm not that,
You were the one who came to rescue me,
You could do anything that you want to me,
But don't touch this fragile reality,
I've never been in love before,
In the bedroom,
Under the red light,
You hear me whispering the sweetest phrase,
In the stillness,
You heard me say it,
Your lovin' gets me through the darkest days,
You could do anything that you want to me,
But don't touch this fragile reality,
I've never been in love before.

If there's a reason,
Why you left me here,

All night long,
Tears in the rain,
Is this the reason?
Did I defeat your real purpose?
Did I make you cry baby?
Didn't have to be so mean to me,
All night long,
Tears in the rain,
Until the stars fall baby,
I'll be missing you, uh-huh,
Until my heart stops beating,
I'll be so in love with you,
With you, With you, With you,
I'll be so in love with you.
