How high? How high?
Love is the answer
Sex washes over like honey
Tempting like crystal beads
Washing over me
Mumbling and tripping
Some way to find

Heresy

Waning and waxing secret
Some way to die
Waning and waxing secret
God in her own heresy
Saw on the flagstone
In her own heresy
Waning and Waxing secret
Some way to die

Hanging on

They Looked Like Stars

Your eyes looked like stars
When I met you
They held the whole world

Sexual Hypocrisy
02:44
|
|||
|
When those feelings
So familiar
Come rushing to my door
Tension caught up in my mind
Release of lust
To be once bound
Love is what I think I've found
Love is what I want it to be
Not just lust
from the body
Tow my brain away
Let my heart have its say
And when I'm clear thinking
I know what I've been missing
Sexual Hypocrisy

But Not
02:33
|

|
Fantasies are too unreal
A dream of clouds to feel
But not to know
What is there to know?
Reality is too real
Dreams allow me to feel
But not to know
