I Need You

(G. Beckley)

Spooky Lady on Death Avenue

I met a spooky lady on Death avenue
She rode a horse of dust that told her what to do
I sniffed around her neighborhood
Came crashing down I knew it would
It's in your head baby it's in your head
It's in your head baby it's in your head
I made a spooky lady on Death avenue
I wore her scent around me like a fresh tattoo
We fell in love we knew not why
Blood stained her glove the angels cry
It's in your head baby it's in your head
Roses are red baby let's go to bed
Too High bye bye
Too High bye bye
I lost a spooky lady on Death avenue
I'll never comprehend so many shades of blue
I walked away back to the world
What can I say another girl
It's in your head baby it's in your head
It's all been said baby it's all been said
Yeah.

Fletchy's Revenge

They make me crazy
Do you understand what I'm saying to you
I love you
Yeah

Love Tap

l flew to the coast
To play guest to her host
In a scene too bizarre to believe
She accused me of lies
And she blackened my eyes
When I told her that I had to leave
She said it was a love tap
But I felt the pain
A love tap
She'll do it again
Oh I feel like a mess
And she's torn up her dress
Now we must change our violent ways
She scratched at my face
Put my nose out of place
Now I'm stumbling around in a dale
She said it was a love tap
But it hurt so bad
A love tap
It made me sad
She said it was a love tap
And I wonder why
A love tap
It made me cry
What will become of this love
Yeah

Cats

Cats purring at me
Love when I stroke them
Love to be free
Cats lie in the sun
I love to watch them
Pussycat fun
Who knows if they love you
Are they thinking of you
Rubbing up against you
Do they love you
Cats moaning at night
Out on the prowl they scratch and bite
Cats playing with balls
Curled up beside you
Won't come when you call
Who knows if they love you
Are they thinking of you
Rubbing up against you
Do they love you
Cats land on their feet
Whenever you drop them
So light and petite
Cats purring at me
Love when I stroke them
Love to be free
Yeah

For You

Ask me no questions
I'll tell you no lies
Down in my pocket
There is a surprise
For you
For you
I don't know why but it keeps getting bigger
I can't control it
This feeling inside
I don't know why but I want to get closer
To you
Love is three Quaaludes and hot sticky sheets
Love is a lady who likes what she eats
Love is a ride in the back of my car
Love is the hooker who winks from the bar
For you
Yeah

Where's the Water

She said it's so hot I think I'm gonna die
Where's the water where's the water
The ground had started to look like a pizza
Sweat was forgotten weight was lost
Where was the water
The desert must be some demon's secret nightmare
The sun is now an assassin
I hate the crazy look in my lovers eye
Where's the water where's the water
Bleached bones of long empty dreamless heads
Staring at the sun
I wanted to disappear
After she wanted to be carried
I stopped really loving her
When her lips started to look
Like dead fried marshmallow shells
I no longer desired her kisses
Or her sighs or her cries
And when I touched her dryness I was repulsed
To think I was repulsed
Stranded for who's plan
I was dying for the act
0f an automobile company somewhere
Some underpaid slave
Of my country's lost great dream
Someone that forgot to screw something in right
Sure sealed my rate
You can't escape your destiny oh no
Not in the middle of the desert
Here we were celebrating the holiday of love
Happy anniversary dear
We were exclaiming in wonder
Natures sculptured dunes
Where's the water where's the water where is it
When I usually wash the vehicle
That has pulled the trigger on me and my bride
I like to enjoy the act of casual conversation
You know with my neighbors
Music talk maybe a little sports
Some politics if it's Paul
And as I talk I lay down the hose the hose
I lay it down and the water flows from the hose
Over my driveway out into the street
Down the block and into the sewer by the school
All that water that cool water
Do you think we'll give up together
Probably not
The woman will be exhausted first
Man is stronger yeah man is strong strong
I want to disappear I want to wake up
Even to die right now that would be fine
But no more of this
I don't want to watch her die first
No please where's the water...where's the water
At home no not our new house
My mom and dads house over near the park
There are two aquariums and a pond
And there's goldfish in the pond
I sold lemonade for a penny when I was small
I never learned to play chess
It's Slinky it's Slinky funny Mr. Potato Head
Where's the water
You were beautiful dear You were the best
What What
Yeah

Swallow My Love

If you swallow my love
If you swallow my love
You'll be rewarded richly baby
If you swallow my love
If you swallow my love
You'll go to Heaven with me maybe
Don't you remember our first kiss
Don't you remember utter bliss
Don't you remember eating this
You say you want our love to grow
Well I'm afraid I may let go
Must I describe it blow by blow
I know a man who got married quite young
For the shape of his bride
And the work of her tongue
Now he babbles aloud like a smudge on the run
For his missus goes down everyday like the sun
For everyone
I will swim through you upstream
Hotter than a laser beam
We may sigh
We may scream
If you swallow my love
If you swallow my love
You'll be rewarded richly baby
If you swallow my love
If you swallow my love
You'll go to heaven with me maybe
If you swallow my love
If you swallow my love
Yeah

And Other Things Too (E's Epistle)

Baby you're so pretty
I love the way you move
I wanna lick your stomach
So soft and smooth
l've missed your little bosoms
I dream of your kisses and other things too
Baby baby baby baby baby I do
Baby you're so sexy
I wanna see you nude
I wanna get real dirty
Set the right mood
I've missed your little bosoms
I dream of your kisses and other things too
Baby baby baby baby baby I do
Yeah

Slut

Gonna call ya gonna meet ya
Take you out to a double feature
I'll buy ya candy I'll getcha high
I hope you think I'm a special guy
I'd like to say I love you but
Everyone says you're a slut
I'd like to say I love you but
Everyone says you're a slut
Yes everyone says you're a slut
You got a bad bad reputation
Always needing stimulation
I don't care what's wrong or right
I just wanna hold you tight
I'd like to say I love you but
Everyone says you're a slut
Ahh don'tcha know a slut's life is so lonely baby
Ahh don'tcha know the good sluts die young
On baby oh baby oh baby don't be a slut
Baby don't let their words hurt ya
Don't let love desert ya
I told ya I don't care what's wrong or right
I just wanna hold you tight
Yeah

Roadblock

I ran into a roadblock
In my quest for finding you
I got caught in a headlock
Can't seem to break on through
I ran into a roadblock
I ran into a roadblock
I got hit in the crosswalk
I have suffered injury
You are Park Place and Boardwalk
My little monopoly
I ran into a roadblock
I ran into a big fat roadblock
Secret sexy signals swiftly sent to my brain
I will be your Dick and you be my Jane
You squirm like a worm outside in the rain
All the little angels sing
All the bells in Heaven ring
I have taken the hard knocks
I have carried a heavy load
Like a time bomb tick tock
For your love I am going to explode
I ran into a roadblock
I ran into a hairy roadblock
You put out the sweetest smell that I've ever known
All my ears want to hear are your sighs and moans
All my hands long to feel is flesh on your bones
Do I make myself quite clear
Don't you feel me waiting here
So I drive on through the night
Through the cold and the rain
I drive and drive again
Through the snow and the sleet
I will travel to be by your feet
Through the dark and the storm
I will come to you and make myself feel warm
If it takes forever that's the way it will be
I am doomed to feel this way permanently
Anything it takes to have you foaming for me
Do you feel the way I do
Won't you say you love me too
Yeah

Unfinished Business

Our lips met
But I never kissed her
We made love
But I never touched her
Our hearts burned
With an icy fire
We fell down
Higher and higher
Our lips met
(You never know how long you've got)
But I never kissed her
(You'll hope it's working when it's not)
We made love
(The carnal drive for sex remains)
But I never touched her
(Pumping madness through the veins)
No I never touched her
Yeah

The Inevitable Song

There used to be a special light
That shone down on our love at night
But every bulb must lose its glow
It's hard to sit and watch it go
I won't kiss you I won't miss you anymore
I won't touch you I won't clutch you anymore
The cat comes in the cat goes out
No one knows what loves about
Bouncing off the floor and walls
Always rolling down the hall
I won't kiss you I won't miss you anymore
I won't touch you I won't clutch you anymore
There used to be a special light
That shone down on our love at night
Our love is like a dinosaur
It's not living anymore
I won't kiss you I won't miss you anymore
I won't touch you I won't clutch you anymore
I won't squeeze you I won't please you anymore
I won't beat you I won't eat you anymore
Yeah

Heart Ghosts

Not a part
And not apart
Ghosts we carry
In the heart
Yeah
