Vamp Me
Vamp me baby, just like you done before
Why don’t you vamp me baby, like a dog on the dance floor
Don’t say your vamping days are gone
You aint vamped everyone
Yet
Your cat eyes momma, are the windows to your soul
Your cat teeth are pretty, wish they’d eat me head to toe
Wish you’d smack me silly
With your kitty lips and even more
You snork like a mackerel, even when you’re not alone [off beat pulse]
I’ve seen you laughing, and vamp comes outta your pie hole [off beat pulse]
I’m a drop in your lake,
An empty suit case and nothing more
Vamp me baby, just like you done before
Why don’t you vamp me baby, like a dog on the dance floor
Don’t say your vamping days are gone
You aint vamped everyone
Yet
I miss your vampin’, like I miss a broken nose
I miss your vampin’, like I miss a glass of coal
I feel your lovin’
Whenever I swallow sharded bone
I still need your vampin’, so please baby don’t you go [off beat pulse]
I know I should treat you, just like a fresh lava flow [off beat pulse]
You melt stone and strong men
But baby please don’t go
Vamp me baby, just like you done before [off beat pulse]
Why don’t you vamp me baby, like a dog on the dance floor [off beat pulse]
Don’t say your vamping days are gone
You aint vamped everyone
Yet

Magic Grudge
Your screams killing me, and I’m silently bleeding
Holding your voice like a gun to my head
I need a cape, I need protection
As you swing your magic grudge at me
My pain is paint, my face a portrait, a canvas, a killing field for you
I need a bath, whenever I know I'm gonna have to see or talk to you
And I’m bleeding, and I know you’re swing your magical grudge at me
While I’m dreaming, hope beyond hope I can find someone who’s not like you
Our world should be a magical world, with fairies and bubbles across the sky
Our world should be a magical world, a magical world for you and I
Our world should be a magical world, but there’s nothing in our eyes
My dream’s killing you, and it’s obvious to everyone
You’re not who you think you are
My dream is a flag, and it’s high flying
Slapping hard against your wind
My pain is paint, my face a portrait, a canvas, a killing field for you
I swing a bat, whenever I know I'm gonna have to see or talk to you
And I’m bleeding, and I know you’re gonna swing your magical grudge at me
While I’m dreaming, hope beyond hope I can find someone who’s not like you
Our world should be a magical world, with fairies and bubbles across the sky
Our world should be a magical world, a magical world for you and I
Our world should be a magical world, but there’s nothing in our eyes
I want a dream a magical dream just a magical dream of you and I
I want a dance a magical dance, with moon dust dripping from our eyes
I want a life, a magical life in a magical world with just you and I
Our world should be a magical world, but there’s nothing in our eyes

Alley Home
They don’t wear no stockings with their stilettos,
In the alley, cuz they’re at home
They will dance commando under the moonlight
In the alley, cuz they’re at home
They’re going home, leave them alone
When they’re at home, leave them alone!
David Niven cool with tails and martinis
In our alley, he’d be at home
Mischief makers and merry pranksters
In our ally, you’re all at home.
When we’re at home, better leave us alone!
Sweet alley home
Where we mend our broken souls
Sweet alley home
Where only soft souls like us come
Like cows dodging slaughter, we all can jump and holler
In our alley, we’re free to roam
All our neighbors love us and beg to be our chorus
In our alley, even they’re at home
David Niven cool with tails and martinis
In our alley, he’d be at home
Mischief makers and merry pranksters
In our ally, you’re all at home.
When we’re at home, better leave us alone!

A Ring
This ring I hold of solid gold
Is nothing more than everything
No ending here, no starting there
It rolls up like the dawn
On and on, we’ll roll with everything that comes
On and on, we’ll roll up like the dawn
Through days of darkness dripping pain
We’ll see the light of day again
In the morning, in the dusk
Our love will never change
On and on, we’ll roll with everything that comes
On and on, we’ll roll up like the dawn
And when our children gain their age
They’ll see that our love never changed
Through days of sorrow, days of joy
Our love will fill their eyes
On and on, we’ll roll with everything that comes
On and on, we’ll roll up like the dawn
And our love will dim the stars

Impossibility
The dust has settled and the earth’s still spinning
The battles are waging and you’re still winning
But can you, can you keep us alive?
It seems so incredible all the obstacles you’ve overcome
The Daleks and the Cybermen have tried, but they’ve never won
But can you; can you keep us alive?
So tell me… Who-oo-ooo will protect us?
Who is gonna save us?
Who will see us through? Will it be you?
Have you done it alone? How else can it be?
You’re endless through the ages and a man of mystery.
You haven’t done it alone. But how can that be?
Oh, Clara; an impossibility.
Some have met you and traveled through space and time
Watched you fight for us put your life on the line
They’ve seen you; they’ve seen you keep us alive
