01. Mary-Lou

Mamas put your babies to sleep,
Story too cruelsome for them this is.
In Junior high she said goodbye to her parents
And ran away with a boy.
She left her family warm and kind,
All of her friends said
"You're out of your mind".
Life of her own she would find,
It's monday and she's gotta grind.

A Job as a waitress she sure was to find,
Beautiful face, mind of a child.
Boy got her pregnant, Mary-Lou cried,
"For this I am too young oh why did you lie"
You said "it's okay if we do it today",
I was so scared that you would go away.
"Despite all the papers been signed,
Mama take me back be so kind".

Only a child, reckless and wild, needs to come home again.
He promised the moon but won't marry you.
Nothing to do, eating for two,
He's goin' out with someone new.
Sunshine or rain, it's all the same,
Life isn't gray oh Mary-Lou.

Mamas do your children still sleep,
In the safe of their cradles so sweet.
Story I told you I have forseen,
Your little angel ain't always so clean.
Days to come aren't easy to see,
You can change 'em but it isn't free.
I see that you don't believe, ooo-oo, but you will see.

02. UnOpened

Another misspelled rhyme
Written in the book of time
In one page I've spent all my life
Ink ain't even dry.
I've been living in a lie?
How could I trust in someone of your kind?

And I got today another letter in the mail
I can't read it here, not today
And when years go by
The unopened letter meets my eye
I'm older and wiser, but still afraid

What if I read it and it is - full of love
How can I face it if I am wrong

Do you feel? Do you care about me?
Did you wait and love all this time?

I am here, would you come and find me
Does your writing guide me thru this all

What if I'll read it and it is - full of love
What if you'll tell me that I am wrong

Do you feel? Do you care about me?
Did you wait and love all this time?

I am here, would you come and find me
Does your writing guide me thru this all

03. 8th Commandment

All those lies suit you.
They are custom made to drive you out of reality.
Lies are true for you.
You know, what you do is reaching a point of insanity.

When you wake from your dream you know what is true?
Ring of bell inside your head is playing with your mind

Remember to pray, and what the Bible says
And you will live thru eternity
You haven't hear of this?
There is something you missed - it will cost you so heavily.

You must sleep in the stinking bed that you have made
When you're down where you belong hear what they say.

Stay for a while, stay forever.
Sing for the times you are bound to betray.
Run for your life, run forever,
Your eyes tell a lie and the liar must always die.

When you're done with him,
you know where you have been,
He will treat us all equally.
Can you feel the fire burning

You must sleep in the stinking bed that you have made.
When you're down where you belong hear what they say.

Stay for a while, stay forever.
Sing for the times you are bound to betray.
Run for your life, run forever,
your eyes tell a lie and the liar must die.

04. FullMoon

Sitting in a corner all alone,
Staring from the bottom of his soul,
Watching the night come in from the window

It'll all collapse tonight, the fullmoon is here again
In sickness and in health, understanding so demanding
It has no name, there's one for every season
Makes him insane to know

Running away from it all
"I'll be safe in the cornfields", he thinks
Hunted by his own,
Again he feels the moon rising on the sky

Find a barn which to sleep in, but can he hide anymore
Someone's at the door, understanding so demanding
Can this be wrong, it's love that is not ending
Mess on the floor again...

She should not lock the open door
(Run away run away, run way)
Fullmoon is on the sky and He's not a man anymore
She makes the change in Him but can't
(Run away run away, run away)
See what became out of her man... Fullmoon

Swimming across the bay,
The nigth is gray, so calm today
She doesn't wanna wait.
"We've gotta make the love complete tonight..."

In the mist of the morning he cannot fight anymore
Hundred moons or more, he's been howling
Knock on the door, and scream that is soon ending
Mess on the floor again...

She should not lock the open door
(Run away run away, run away)
Fullmoon is on the sky and He's not a man anymore
She makes the change in Him but can't
(Run away run away, run away)
See what became out of her man

She should not lock the open door
(Run away, run away, run away)
Fullmoon is on the sky and he's not a man anymore
She sees the change in him but can't
(Run away, run away, run away)
See what became out of her darling man

She should not lock the open door
(Run away, run away, run away)
Fullmoon is on the sky and He's not a man anymore

See what became out of that man
