Santa

Beauty. What is that to you?
A) Architecture
B) the light on the water turning it into aquamarine
C) another woman’s face or hair or figure that you quietly crave for 30 seconds
Passion. Are you passionate about anything? What do you see when you look in the mirror? Stop. Don’t turn away. Stay a while. Let’s look closer. No. You are not allowed to find the faults first, not in my game. We will find the Beauty first.

You can bring your dog
I got three
He can play the wolf for the evening
If you were to get lost behind these locks
Ain’t that a good thing
Ain’t that a good thing
Ain’t that a good thing cause

I’m not makin’ any promises
I’m not livin’ to be the Mrs.
I’m not makin’ any promises honey
But you still got that somethin’ pretty boy
You still got that somethin’ as a man
You still got that somethin’
Of this I know
Of this I know

That one fancies herself
as a black lab
I hear that your old flame
is a pure breed
Me? I guess you could say
I’m a Siamese
Ain’t that a good thing
Ain’t that a good thing
Ain’t that a good thing cause

I’m not makin’ any promises
You’ll be too busy boy
to sue her for damages
I’m not makin’ any promises
But you still that somethin’ pretty boy
You still got that somethin’ as a man
You still got that somethin’
Of this I know
Of this I know

You can bring your dog anytime
You can bring your dog
You can bring your dog
You can bring them all
You can bring your mom
Bring your dog
Baby Baby
Please now
Bring bring your love



SECRET SPELL
Vocals: Santa
Bösendorfer: Tori Amos
Drums: Matt Chamberlain
Bass: Jon Evans
Electric 6 and 12 String Guitars: Mac Aladdin

in one hand dreams a plenty
in her smile a secret spell
there have been disappointments
these she knows all too well

and you losing you
was not a part of this plan
so

jumps at three tears at thirteen
just turn you around for
eighteen wheels in a high heel
turn you around
sold a dream at twenty three
turn you around
hold out
you still got your secret spell

at the heart of the matter
someone wove a secret spell
mixed with girl not so peaceful
angel and animal

but me losing you
was not a part of this plan
so

jumps at three tears at thirteen
just turn you around for
eighteen wheels in a high heel

turn you around
sold a dream at twenty three
turn you around
hold out
you still got your secret spell

girl you got to do a 180
disappointment you know it well
but you losing you
was not a part of this plan
so

jumps at three tears at thirteen
just turn you around for
eighteen wheels in a high heel
turn you around
sold a dream at twenty three
turn you around
hold out
hold out
you still got your secret spell
girl you got to do a 180
‘cause you still got your secret spell

Sweet Communion
Sweet Communion

I have waited all my life
You say you are bonafide
to be my judge
Lay your law down on me love

Seven devils bring them on
I have left my weapons
‘cause I think you’re wrong
these devils of yours they need love

Come and kneel with me Body and Soul
Come and kneel with me Body and Soul
Body and Soul Body and Soul Body and Soul

Sweet Communion
Sweet Communion

In my temple boy be warned
Violence doesn’t have a home now but ecstasy
that’s as pure as a woman’s gold

Seven devils bring them on
I have left my weapons
‘cause I think you’re wrong
these devils of yousr they need love

Come and kneel with me Body and Soul
Come and kneel with me Body and Soul
Body and Soul Body and Soul Body and Soul

I’ll save you from that sunday sermon
Boy I think you need a conversion
Body and Soul

Come and kneel with me Body and Soul
Come and kneel with me Body and Soul
Body and Soul Body and Soul Body and Soul

Think of me as programmable soda
Too much cherry?
Baby then you can just add cola
Think of me as programmable soda

‘Cause you can
can be a cruel fella
So okay, then I just back off
the vanilla

Think of me as programmable soda
‘cause I’ve come
I’ve come to accept that
for lovelies you are a fanatic
But I can’t
I can’t let that throw me
into a genital panic

Think of me as programmable soda
Too much cherry?
Baby then you can just add cola
Think of me as programmable soda
When you think
and boy when you drink
when you think of me



DRAGON
Vocals: Santa

Bass: Jon Evans
Electric Guitar: Mac Aladdin

Don’t tell me
A woman did this to you
Candy lies
Candy lies
Candy lies

You touched my hand
I felt a force
You called it dark
but now I’m not so sure

Just stay awhile
Stay awhile
Stay awhile
Why don’t you
Stay awhile
Stay awhile
Stay awhile

‘Cause your wild card Boy needs playing
Don’t believe the lie
your Dragon needs slaying
Won’t you lay here with me
and I will bring
kisses for the beast
Lay here with me
here with me

Don’t tell me
A woman did this to you
Candy lies
Candy lies
Candy lies

When I look back over
documents and pages
Ancient savageries
Christened those inflated.
Now it has come to light
the Gods they have slipped up
They forgot about the power
of a woman’s love
Just stay a while
Stay awhile
Stay awhile
Why don’t you
Stay awhile
Stay awhile
Stay awhile

Cause your wild card Boy needs playing
Don’t believe the lie
your Dragon needs slaying
Won’t you lay here with me
and I will bring
kisses for the beast
Lay here with me
here with me

Don’t tell me
A woman did this to you
Candy lies
Candy lies
Candy lies
Candy lies
Forgive my
Candy lies
