what do your fingers know what do your fingers show where do your fingers go   when you sleep  do they tremble on the edge of the bed or do you fold them neatly by your head  do they clench like claws against your own skin  when you're living your day al over again    when you sleep when you sleep where do your fingers go? what do your fingers know what do your fingers show where do your fingers go   do they play guitar in a latin bar are they strangers or lovers do they drive your car  are they swimming submissively sex acts of life or just cutting through jello with a very sharp knife   now zeus was a womanizer always on the make  but hera usually punished her that zeus was one to take   when you sleep where do your fingers go?   are they pulling out weeds from the dusty soil but then never rewarded with the fruits of their toil are they scratching their nails on the chalkboards of death only seeking attention when everyone in the room has left    when you sleep when you sleep where do your fingers go? what do your fingers know what do your fingers show where do your fingers go   when you sleep  do they tremble on the edge of the bed or do you fold them neatly by your head     Cool Blue Reason cool blue reason empties on the page your colleagues are in prison and your enemies enraged cool blue reason comes into your world there's two more dead in texas  and it's probably your girls cool blue reason wraps around your throat the minutes change like seasons only 8 more hours to go   cool blue reason comes into your life there's one more dead in kansas and it's probably your wife cool blue reason i'm just talking to myself cool blue reason i'm just rearranging hell i'm just talking to myself   cool blue reason wraps around your throat the minutes change likes seasons only 8 more hours to go

Satan is my Motor I've got wheels of polished steel  I've got tires that grab the road  I've got seats that selflessly hold my friends  a'nd a trunk that can carry the heaviest of loads  I gota mind that can steer me to your house  and a heart that can bring you red flowers  my intentions are good and earnest and true  but under my hood is internal combustion power  Satan is my motor  hear my motor purr  Satan is my motor  hear my motor purr  Satan is the only one who  seems to understand  I've got brakes  I'm wide awake  I can stop this car at any time  at the very last second  I can change directions  turn complety around  If I feel so inclined  I gota mind that can steer me to your house  and a heart that can bring red flowers  my intention are good and earnest and true  but under my hodd is internal combustion power  Satan is my motor  hear my motor purr  Satan is my motor  hear my motor purr  Satan is the only one who  seems to understand  Satan is my motor     Guitar I'm siting by the window  of your 32nd floor apartment  waiting for your phone calls all to end  I'm siting watching wind blow  watching time go watching cars go by  I'm waiting for these memories to begin  If I threw my guitar  out the window  so far down  would I start to regret it  or would smile and watch it slowly fall  fall  fall  Garbage trucks and taxi cabs  dont seem like they can reach me hear the  clammer of Jack hamered seems so faint  well the way you treat me like the only  slightly brings me down alot I dont  think that I'll ever be the same  If I threw my guitar  out the window  so far down  would I start to regret it  or would smile and watch it slowly fall  fall  fall  fall....   Walk on By Walk on by The house were you still live Walk on by The place were we would kiss And the room were I held you tight Tonight I must walk on by Walk on by The room were you still sleep Walk on by The company that you keep And the room were I held you tight Tonight I must walk on by Some hour I know I wont forget no no no no no I wont  You wont forgot me no no no no no You wont I'll keep on walking away from here I'll forget you when I reach the other side Walk on by the house were you still live Walk on by the place were we would kiss And the room were I held you tight Tonight I must walk on by And the room were I held you tight Tonight I must walk on by.     Sheep go to Heaven I'm not feeling alright today  I'm not feeling that great I'm not catching on fire today Love has started to fade I'm not going to smile today I'm not going to laugh You're outliving it up today I got dues to pay And the gravedigger puts puts on the forceps The stonemason does all the work The barber can give you a haircut The carpenter can take you out to lunch I just want to play on my pam pipes I just want to drink me some wine As soon as you're born you start dying So you might as well have a good time Sheep go to heaven  Goats go to hell Sheep go to heaven Goats go to hell I don’t want go to sunset strip I don’t wanta feel the emptiness Bold maces with stupid band names I don’t want go to sunset strip I don’t wanta go sunset strip I don’t wanta feel the emptiness Bold maces with stupid band names I don’t wanta go sunset strip And the gravedigger puts puts on the forceps The stonemason does all the work The barber can give you a haircut The carpenter can take you out to lunch I just want to play on my pam pipes I just want to drink me some wine As soon as you're born you start dying So you might as well have a good time Sheep go to heaven  Goats go to hell Sheep go to heaven Goats go to hell Sheep go to heaven Goats go to hell Sheep go to heaven Goats go to hell Sheep go to heaven Goats go to hell Sheep go to heaven Goats go to hell Sheep go to heaven Goats go to hell Sheep go to heaven Goats go to hell.     Alpha Beta Parking Lot standing in the alpha beta parking lot watching the sun set i'll never forget watching all the reds and oranges slip away letting go of yet another dirty day   breathing in the fumes from so many idling cars right beneath the sign w/ the dusty yellow stars  watching the sun go down   standing in the alpha beta parking lot watching you leave me not quite believing   standing in the alpha beta parking lot watching the sun set i'll never forget breathing in the fumes from so many idling cars right beneath the sign w/ the dusty yellow stars  watching the sun go down     Let Me Go when she walks she swings her arms, instead of her hips when she talks she moves her mouth, instead of her lips i've waited for her for so long i've waited for her for so long i've wondered if i could hang on  i've wondered if i could hang on    "let me go," she said "let me go," she said let me go and i will want you more let me go, let me go let me go and i will want you    when she wants she wants the sun instead of the moon when she sees she sees the stars inside of her room  i've waited for her for so long i've waited for her for so long i've wondered if i could hang on  i've wondered if i could hang on    "let me go," she said "let me go," she said let me go and i will want you more "let me go," she said let me go let me go, and i will want you    "let me go," she said "let me go," she said "let me go," she said let me go, let me go     Where Would I be i've been waiting for so long i've been hoping your love's not gone houses are sliding in the mud rivers are raging in your blood   where would i be wihout your love? where would i be without your arms around me?   you were to be the only one  if i knew you i would not run you have been cloudy, distant, dark i'm thinking of noah and the ark   where would i be without your love? where would i be without your arms around me?
