Love is sharper than stones or sticks; Lone as the sea, and deeper blue; Loud in the night as a clock that ticks; Longer-lived than the Wandering Jew. Show me a love was done and through, Tell me a kiss escaped its debt! Women and elephants never forget. Think of us togehther sitting there Reading stories written deep in your eyes Think of the years like an unending song Think of a quiet place we never have known In a wolrd of our own... Ever a man, alas, would mix, Ever a man, heigh-ho, must woo; So he's left in the world-old fix, Thus is furthered the sale of rue. Son, your chances are thin and few- Won't you ponder, before you're set? Women and elephants never forget. Down from ceasar past joyson hicks Echoes the warning and ever new Though they were trained to amusing tricks Gentler they the pigeons cew Careful, son, the curs'ed of two- Either one is a dangerous pet; Son, your chances are thin and few- Won't you ponder, before you're set? Women and elephants Women and elephants Women and elephants never forget. Think of us togehther sitting there Reading stories written deep in your eyes Think of the years like an unending song Think of a quiet place we never have known In a world of our own... Prince, a precept I'd leave for you Coined in Eden existing yet Skirt the parlor and shun the zoo Women and elephants never forget.

FALLING 03:31
Oh, how many times Will I have to fall ? Oh, I wonder why I didn’t take your hand When you told me to Look inside. Oh, You were such a guide Oh, and I caused so much pain As I gave my word and now you know it’s vain Now again, oh I fall down everyday And everytime I think of you Oh, who will I become If I can’t be myself ? Oh, now that you’re away This story I can’t buy It just seems so wrong all around Oh, you and I were bound Oh, I’m so full of shame Will you ever want to play the game ? Well I wan’t it to remain the same I need you to say my name Now again, oh I fall down everyday And everytime I think of you

Can’t you hear those cries of pain Sarcastically disguised in vain ? As in the laughter of a fool, No matter whether kind or cruel. Try to keep an open eye On the one who’s sly. With malice will he mewl, Contented with his lie. Beware he’s everywhere Can’t you see behind his looks Distressingly the way he brooks ? Concealed within a friendly smile Are all of his designs of wile. So don’t be led astray By his repartee. In front of words so vile You better run away. Beware he’s everywhere Don’t ever drop your guard Cause he will disregard Each and every slight gesture of heart. How long will we have to fight against Everything so pretensed ? Truth is the cry of all. Can’t you feel the hungriness For more than temporariness ? Unceasingly will he inveigle You and I into what’s baleful. Take heed of every word Instead of being blurred, Cause we will find a way In order to be heard. Beware he’s everywhere Don’t ever drop your guard Cause he will disregard Each and every slight gesture of heart How long will we have to fight against Everything so pretensed ? Truth is the cry of all.

THE PROWLER 04:58
I've been walking down this road It's been quite a lengthy time The wind remains the same Everything comes close to real life Apart form all the dreams I have I keep on prowling Nobody seems to know me Indeed I think they do not care Now I try to heed the signs All along the path I'm following But often do I strive To hardly understand the meaning Bewildered I go on my way I keep on prowling Nobody seems to know me Indeed I think they do not care

She never thought of of being turned away All around had she been greatly prized Through and through had many mused on While others went on a quest in vain As no ways would ever lead to Her who hides far and wide where Not a soul would ever walk in on But having played hide and seek for so long One and all had withdrew from the game No more could anybody Bare the endless ruse of hers So they began to reinvent the rules To smooth the way for her capture No longer will you Escape from us as soon as we trap you You're going to amuse us night and day For our glory will you be misused By those you have opposed As of now fear the worst Since there's no way out Oh is it so, I'm about to Shake like a leaf One day you might understand Why fish live in seas and not on lands Well try to catch me if you can But don't forget that I will have warned you Of the likelihood of going insane Well let us start to play
