1.Better Off Dead
I heard your mother died
Just a few days ago
And tears fill your eyes with grief and sorrow
Cause you to question why because you don't know
If there comes a time when we all, when we all must go
Chorus:
Better off dead, if you're going to believe
Better off dead, in some painful (painful) memories
Better off dead, for truly you'll be free
Then to get down on your knees
Can you continue to go on and ignore?
A most certain fate you have grown, grown to abhor
If what you believe is true
And you have no remorse
No matter what you do, no matter what you do,
Oh, you'll be on, you'll be on the same course
Chorus
Can someone tell me why I'm not better off dead?
I no longer deny these thoughts filling my head
I'm left to decide for this path I've been led
If there's more to life than just death
(Solo)
Chorus
It's alright, I'm only bleeding
2.Don't Leave Me Alone
Now's not the time to say goodbye
And I'm not the kind to question why
Well I don't feel very well, and it's getting cold as hell
It won't be the same, can't you tell?
Don't leave me alone
Don't leave me on my own
I'm so afraid
Why can't you stay?
Just don't leave me alone
How long will my song be wrong?
Doing the things I should have known
Only to reap what I have sown
Jesus, please
Don't leave me alone
Don't leave me on my own
I'm on my knees
Forgive me please
Just don't leave me alone
How long will my song be wrong?
(Keyboard solo)
Don't leave me alone
Don't leave me on my own
I'm so afraid
Why can't you stay?
Just don't leave, don't leave... me alone
How long will my song... be... wrong?
3.Fair Weather Faith
Prentending to act so serene
On your so called submissive knees
A shopping list of begging pleas
Adds to your complacencies
As soon as the sun don't shine your way
And you're saving it all up that rainy day
It's a matter of time before you get down 'n' pray
Fair weather faith - protect me from the storm
Fair weather faith - gonna right all my wrongs
Fair weather faith - you know i'm doing alright
Fair weather faith - out of mind, out of sight
Well I wonder if the man upstairs
Will bother to lend an ear
If you took the time to share
Another one of your puppet prayers
I ain't talkin' 'bout the weather
4.Monica
Look at Monica walking in her sleep
Look at Monica running through the fields
In her dream, so serene
Monica, Monica
Hush, don't you say a word
Did you see the smile she made today?
Look at Monica
Look at Monica
Morning's coming ever so fast
Shadow's reality's cast
More like a dream that just won't last
Look at Monica walking in her sleep
Look at Monica running through the fields
In her dream, so serene
Monica, Monica
Please keep quiet, let her sleep
Can't you see the smile she made today?
5.Never Been Funked
Never Been Funked
I ain't trying to make no political statement
I ain't trying to tell you the news of the world
I ain't one to give intellectual realness
I just want you to want me the way that I do
Don't it make you feel good, make you feel good?
Don't it make you feel good?
(Chorus)
You ain't never been funked like this before
Never been funked, never been funked
You ain't never been funked like this before
I don't keep in touch with economical worries
My interest don't lie in that same old story
Communicating was never my problem
I never have to talk to get through to you
Talk,talk
Do you really want to funk with me?
Do you really want to funk with me?
6.Nice Place To Visit
Not really lookin' for, for nothing special,
Just someplace that I can call my own,
I'm growing tired of, of running wild,
It's time I settled down
Bridge:
There seems to be some lights on,
but ain't nobody home
I think I see some lights on,
But there ain't nobody home
Ain't being choosy, but
Don't want no floozy,
And that's not much to ask
Chorus:
She's a nice place to visit (3x)
But I wouldn't want to live her,
Nice place to visit
Hey, is anybody home?
Seeing is believing,
But looks can be deceiving,
What you get ain't always what you see
I like what' s down there,
But no one is upstairs,
I think there's bats in the belfry
Chorus
I don't know what's come over me,
I'm blinded by the scenery,
Nice place to visit,
I don't know what I'm gonna do
I'm coming back because of you,
Nice place to visit, visit, visit...
Bridge
This big bad wolf knows
Which way the wind blows,
And which little piggy's house is made of brick,
Must have vacated, or mislocated,
There's just toys, toys in the attic
Chorus (Hey, is anybody home?)
Knock, knock, who's there?
She's a nice place to visit (2x)
7.When Will It Rain
No one ever sees you cry
You just keep it all inside
In a warm place, where you can hide
When will it rain
When will it rain
I saw you laugh the other day
But all too fast it went away
Now your sky's cloudy 'n' gray
Falling mainly on the plain
When will it rain
When will it rain
No water fallls
Down your window pane
And when I look into your eyes
That window to your soul can't lie
There's water where the well went dry
So how long can there be a drought
When your dam's filled with doubt
No place to build your house
Let your cup runneth over and out
I said for crying out loud
When will it rain
When will it rain
No water fallls
Down your window pane
When will it rain
When will it rain
A tear for fear is calling out your name
Rain on me
8.Where Are You Going
I don't know where I'm going
But I do know where I've been
I wonder if I'm growing
Forever chasing wind
I've got to keep on moving
Destination still unknown
The more I keep on looking
The more I feel so alone
Chorus:
I never ask you where you're going, so don't ask me
Where are you going?
Not everybody knows where they're supposed to be
Where are you going?
So if you'll please point me in the right vicinity
Where are you going?
I never ask you where you're going, so don't ask me
I'm not so good so far
Fell off the beaten track
'Cause sometimes we go forward
Must take two steps back
Chorus
(Solo)
