WILD IS THE WIND Love me love me Say you do Let me fly away with you We are creatures of the wind Wild is the wind Give me more than one caress Satisfy this hungriness We are creatures of the wind Wild is the wind You touch me I hear the sound of mandolins You kiss me With your kiss my life begins You touch me I hear the sound of mandolins And you kiss me With your kiss my life begins Like a leaf clings to a tree Baby please cling to me We are creatures of the wind Wild is the wind Wild

Lay Low 03:07
Take the dough and lay low Take the dough and lay low Lay low lay low, Lay low lay low Take the dough and lay low Take the dough and lay low Lay low lay low, Lay low lay low Keep your head down don’t stir it up You got the money, you got the stuff Don’t rock the boat or push your luck Don’t say nothin’ don’t say no Looking down from up above I feel like Maharishi Wise man knows when to hold his tongue Take the dough and lay low Take the dough and lay low Lay low lay low, Lay low lay low Take the dough and lay low Take the dough and lay low Lay low lay low, lay low lay low You know the drill so keep it chill Under the radar, just sit still You can’t afford to make a move Mums the word, walk with the herd Lookin’ down from up above I feel like Mona Lisa Hanging still in my frozen frame Turn the tables in an ambush See ya later to the handcuffs Sayonara to the boss guy But all the people say, Hey! Take the dough Just take the dough Looking down from up above I feel like Maharishi Wise man knows when to hold his tongue Ya, lay low Take the dough and lay low Lay low lay low (lay low lay low) Lay low lay low (lay low lay low) Hey Take the dough and lay low Take the dough and lay low Lay low lay low (lay low lay low) Lay low Lay low (lay low lay low) Take the dough and lay low Take the dough and lay low Lay low lay low (lay low lay low) Lay low lay low (lay low lay low) Oh Take the dough and lay low Take the dough and lay low Lay low lay low, lay low lay low Take the dough

Kissed me goodnight under the silver moon He disappeared before the sun rose Left a note that he would be back soon My fortune teller came to tell me no She said watch out that man is dangerous He’s been corrupted by the underworld Pray to the virgin Guadalupe Won’t you bring back my baby, my baby to me In my head, I know that he is bad for me In my heart, I can’t help the way I feel In my hopeless corazón, he’ll always be Mi Amor In my head, I know that he is bad for me In my heart, I can’t help the way I feel In my hopeless corazón, he’ll always be Mi Amor Reckless corazón Oh-oh-oh-oh Reckless corazón Oh-oh-oh Reckless corazón Eres mi dueño Reckless corazón Oh-oh-oh When he called I could hear a woman’ voice Just like my dream the other morning But I know he doesn’t love her too Not after everything that we’ve been through In my head, I know that he is bad for me In my heart, I can’t help the way I feel In my hopeless corazón, he’ll always be Mi Amor Reckless corazón Oh-oh-oh-oh Reckless corazón Oh-oh-oh Reckless corazón Eres mi dueño Reckless corazón Oh-oh-oh I left my baby down in Mexico Gonna find him down in Mexico Rolled the dice down in mexico Gonna find him down in Mexico Reckless corazón Oh-oh-oh-oh Reckless corazón Oh-oh-oh Reckless corazón Eres mi dueño Reckless corazón Oh-oh-oh Reckless corazón Oh-oh-oh-oh Reckless corazón Oh-oh-oh Reckless corazón Eres mi dueño Reckless corazón Oh-oh-oh

I’m sorry if my kiss was stolen I just couldn’t help myself You’re adorable You’re irresistible I hope I didn’t turn you off by leaning into love too fast Unavoidable You’re too delightful Your lips left sugar on me Oh oh oh can’t you see It’s not so bad to love Love has so many forms Your lips left sugar on me Oh oh oh can’t you see It’s not so bad to love Love has so many forms I’m feeling one right now Love takes so many hearts and it’s in our hands It is beautiful So irresistible Like you

It’s a cruel cruel world That we’re livin’ in But through these shades-Flashkick All I have is all you see These slim fits and brogues Need breakin’ in I might not take my tea with the king But I ain’t gonna nickel and dime No I might not have anything But my style is top of the line I might not take my tea with the king But I ain’t gonna nickel and dime No I might not have anything But my style is top of the line When the rent is high And the money’s low Head’s in the sky-flashkick Top number slam and a vespa man Turn up the jam On the radio I might not take my tea with the king But I ain’t gonna nickel and dime No I might not have anything But my style is top of the line I might not take my tea with the king But I ain’t gonna nickel and dime No I might not have anything But my style is top of the line No I ain’t gonna nickel and dime No I ain’t gonna nickel and dime (whisper) I might not take my tea with the king But I ain’t gonna nickel and dime No I might not have anything But my style is top of the line I might not take my tea with the king But I ain’t gonna nickel and dime No I might not have anything But my style is top of the line I might not take my tea with the king But I ain’t gonna nickel and dime No I might not have anything But my style is top of the line No I ain’t gonna nickel and dime No I ain’t gonna nickel and dime

Bounce back doncha let go Hold on tight Or you’re gonna go Overboard Don’t tip the boat Got a load but it ain’t gonna float Lookin’ out I can see your fine face The wind’s feathering back your hair Wearing rainbow glasses Rainbow glasses Got ‘em at the dollar store And I wouldn’t pay another penny more Put ‘em on my old man’s platinum card ya 700 for a deal so I put “em at the back of my car Now I got shades for everybody at the bar Well I guess I pushed the line a little bit too far Lookin’ out I can see your fine face The wind’s feathering back your hair Wearing rainbow glasses Rainbow glasses Rainbow glasses Rainbow glasses Got em at the dollar store And I wouldn’t pay another penny more My Rainbow glasses (rainbow glasses) Rainbow glasses (rainbow glasses) My Rainbow glasses (rainbow glasses) My rainbow glasses (rainbow glasses)

Rock Me Baby 03:07
Without you near All I can hear Are whispers in the dark Come back to me I long to be where I can hear your heart Rock me baby Roll me Hold me in your arms Rock me baby roll me Send me to the stars And when it’s dark Oceans apart Come back to my shore It’s bitter sweet And time is fleeting Don’t walk out the door...oh oh oh oh oh Rock me baby roll me Hold me in your arms Rock me baby roll me Send me to the stars I can’t live another day without you I don’t worry what the cost amounts to Stay baby stay Say baby say, you will Rock me baby Roll me Hold me in your arms Rock me baby Roll me send me to the stars Say baby say, you will Stay baby stay

Dud 03:06
Loaded my life weapon with you Can’t hit my target with you in my chamber The trigger rattles like the teeth on a gator I placed my bets down on your name You’re like a cooler sitting at my table The tales are taller than the lies you laid down You’re a Dud, Dud, Dud, Dud You’re a Dud Dud Dud dud You’re a Dud Dud Dud Dud You’re a Dud I’m feeling unbuttoned tonight Like a saber tooth tiger delight Like a radioactive child I’m an undercover Russian spy I got a tip off from a stone uncovered I cracked the code on what I just discovered You’re a Dud, Dud, Dud, Dud You’re a Dud Dud Dud dud You’re a Dud Dud Dud Dud You’re a Dud Oh oh oh baby baby you got me on my knees My heart is hurting and I wanna squeeze There ain’t nobody who can meet my needs You’re a Dud, Dud, Dud, Dud You’re a Dud Dud Dud dud You’re a Dud Dud Dud Dud You’re a Dud I poured my dreams in a leaky can Your lies sifted through my open fingers And the jester grinning was the winner Now I’m floating like a red eye dove Above the chaos of the false projections The skewed and in incomplete digressions You’re a Dud, Dud, Dud, Dud You’re a Dud Dud Dud dud You’re a Dud Dud Dud Dud You’re a Dud

I dodged a bullet heading straight for my heart And with the luck I’ve got left I’m gonna run run run run run I dodged a bullet, he didn’t get a full shot He ain’t worth that and with the luck I got left I’m gonna run run run run run I thought he could have been the one But he hurt me worse than every other I trusted him with all my sins in confidence He turned his back in an attack And severed what we had together I gave him things I shouldn’t have With consequence I dodged a bullet heading straight for my heart And with the luck I’ve got left I’m gonna run run run run run I dodge a bullet, he didn’t get a full shot He ain’t worth that and with the luck I got left I’m gonna run run run run run He fed me sugar coated lies Said it takes some time to trust each-other But real men stand behind their promises When he came back that final night And he sucker punched me to the gutter Running with my broken heart, he can eat my dust I dodged a bullet-run for your life I dodged a bullet-run for your life I dodged a bullet I dodged a bullet heading straight for my heart And with the luck I’ve got left I’m gonna run run run run run I dodged a bullet, he didn’t get a full shot He ain’t worth that and with the luck I got left I’m gonna run run run run run Run Run Run Run Run I dodged a bullet-run for your life I dodged a bullet-run for your life I dodged a bullet-run for your life

Bang Bang 03:02
I was five and he was six We rode on horses made of sticks He wore black and I wore white He would always win the fight Bang Bang He shot me down Bang bang I hit the ground Bang Bang That awful sound Bang Bang My daddy shot me down Seasons came and changed the time When I grew up I made him mine He would always laugh and say Remember when I used to play Bang Bang I shot you down Bang Bang Ya hit the ground Bang bang That awful sound Bang Bang My daddy shot me down Music played and people sang Just for me the church bells rang Now he’s gone I don’t know why Till this day sometimes I cry He didn’t even say goodbye He didn’t take the time to lie Bang Bang He shot me down Bang Bang I hit the ground Bang bang That awful sound Bang bang My Baby shot me down

It’s not the person, it’s the feeling It’s not the candle, it’s the light It isn’t his lips, it’s the kissing It’s not the lover I miss, it’s the love It’s not the flower, it’s the garden It’s not the temple or shrine, it’s the divine It’s not the prophet, it’s the prophecy It’s not the lover I miss, it’s the love Drawn to the path that is doomed Triggers the hope in my heart Falling for the lies, why? It’s not the hand I miss, it’s the holding It’s not the sunshine, it’s the life It’s not the bracelet, it’s the giving It’s not the lover I miss, it’s the love Maybe the hardest thing is simply to walk away Knowing I’m alone again Attraction is distraction and distraction’s my demise Open my eyes My broken heart reveals the truth and now I realize It’s not the person, it’s the feeling It’s not the buddha, it’s the peace It isn’t his arms, it’s the holding It’s not the lover I miss, it’s the love It’s not the lover I miss, It’s the love It’s not the lover I miss, it’s the love

Lily Frost Toronto, Ontario

Songs pour out as means of coping and as attempts to make sense of this messed up planet which is so full of beauty and disaster and shades between. I reach in toward the core to pull out the essence and distill and adorn with flourishes which support that seed which speaks through me. ... more
