Track 1

TIED ME UP

It’s been three years to the day, since we’ve been apart

I should be moving on, I know

Find a new start

I’ve got friends, my nearest kin, and there’s a career

I should move on, I know, stop shedding tears

You’ve tied me up in time

Without a rope or chains

Your body left me behind

Though the feelings remain

I’ve tried a million things

Till I don’t know what to do

You’ve tied me it’s a crime,

Wish I weren’t so drawn to you

I’ve been out since, made some friends

Tried to cut these cords

You are a memory, a constant face

A dream more than words

I’ve got memories, and I’ve got doubts

But you have my soul

I should go on forgetting, forgiving

But what about my heart you stole

Chorus

Track 2

FELICIA

I see within her eyes, passion lives within her sighs

Tight blue jeans, best I’ve seen anywhere round here

Looks could catch most any man

Suck your love into her hands

Kinda shy, I don’t know why

You see her dancing there

Fast one, slow one, she won’t care

Movements steam, like some hot dream

In carnal memory

Hips rotate as top does too

Begging you to please pursue

You resist, she persists

I saw Felicia, with raven hair cascading down

Felicia, the girl could bring any man down

Felicia, I’m telling you what I know and see

Every move she makes is agony

She came up and took my hands

Smile she had says she had plans

I was lost, she the boss

She showed me how to move

My head slipped into the clouds

Told her much too much out loud

Felt so right, held too tight

Chorus

Track 3

TRYING TO SEE YOU

I was watching you last night

You were standing by yourself

And it seems I heard you whisper someone’s name

I kept closely to your face

To look for any trace

Cause the last few months, nothing’s been the same

Now our marriage it’s a farce

All the tenderness is gone

Now you only smile a little when we touch

Any trust I had before

Was seen flying out the door

And I’m searching for a strand of hope to clutch

I was trying to see you

Cause your picture only shows what’s on your skin

I was trying to see you

Trying to win you, body, mind and soul again

Never was the suspicious kind

But I knew the cologne brand

Not at your sister’s, she was gone almost all week

There was no answer at home

Seems you’ve lost your usual aplomb

And I hate to admit that things are bleak

Chorus

Track 4

OH C' MON MA

Oh c’mon ma, oh c’mon ma

We miss your endless chatter

That tells us what’s the matter

We need your red spandex pants

That makes Miss Peggy blanch

You always know what’s wrong

Sometimes we’re not so strong

So get your butt back here

Oh c’mon ma, oh c’mon ma

Your pouty-lipped gaze

That haunts us for days

Your husband still needs

Those words that could freeze

Your pack-ratty ways

That fill the house for days

So get your butt back here

Oh c’mon ma, oh c’mon ma

Are you listening?

Get on back, girl

Chorus

Track 5

COME KISS YOUR PARRAIN

Come kiss your parrain

Sha’ you’re eighteen now, today

You know you’re such a pretty girl

That’s why I act this way

Viens embrassez ton parrain

And don’t you tell your dad a thing

I know that he’s my brother

But when he hits

Lord it sting, oh

Come kiss your parrain

Now you’re eighteen yes today

Your aunt she’s getting on in years

Some wrinkles and some grey

Viens embrassez ton parrain

And don’t you worry ‘bout a thing

Just drink a little wine with me

And I’ll teach you how to sing

Chorus

Track 6

PAY THE PRICE

I called you today

To see if there’s a way

You could forget what I’ve done

I hurt you so bad

Hurt the love we both had

I cheated and I lied

Now I’ll pay the price and cry

I’ll pay the price tonight

Because I can’t hold you tight

I’ll pay the price tonight

Spending nights without you

The day you left our home

Now I’m sitting by the phone (all alone)

I’ll pay the price tonight when I’m alone

I hear a child outside

And her laugh makes me cry

Just another dream I’ve undone

I don’t think it’s you

Because I will know how you do

I cheated and I lied

Chorus

Track 7

RED BALL OF FIRE

Wonder if it’s daddy’s money

She said no, it’s all hers

And there’s the owner’s slip to prove it

And a Visa bill big as the world

There’s only four cylinders in it

And your but bought drags the ground

But since it’s light as a feather

You tend to fly from town to town

She’s that red ball of fire flying

Up the hill and through the pass

You see a flash, you ain’t lying

Cause she goes just a hair too fast

I’d love to catch her, I’d love to match her

And if I did, I’d make it last

You see that blinking of the radar

Cause her insurance is way too high

Once she got a speeding ticket

She was sure she’d damn near die

You see that second seat there beckoning

For you to sit down by her side

But she fills it up with (her tape cassettes, all her junk)

And I can’t even catch her eye

Chorus

Track 8

WHERE ARE YOU NOW

I was sitting downtown thinking up fortunes

Wondering what trick would fate give me today

I was doubting what so many people told me

That life is a game some people play

I felt sorry for myself, I feel so battered

And my bruised heart still shows up as a smile

I could search a million places and get nowhere

Cause a painted face won’t change a well-grooved tile

Where are you now, now that I need you

Is it safe to give up on your heart

I want to touch you, cause my dreams won’t quite

fulfill me

I want you back but we would do it all again

It’s like I’m looking at a Degas

At a picture I can’t quite see

See the colors, see the lines

But the figure doesn’t agree

Where are you now, now that I need you

Is it safe to give up on your heart

I want to touch you cause my dreams won’t quite

fulfill me

I want you back but we would do it all again

Chorus

Track 9

ALIANA'S SONG

Well she was sweet as can be

In a world with so much sin

And her hair with a shine from the sun

Playing coy with me today

Leads me on, turns me away

Wonder what other hearts has she won

She’s got a lilt in her walk

A slight drawl in her talk

And her smile on her face lets me know

Playing so shy today

Leads me on, pushes me away

Wonder how many hearts has she won

It’s such a quandary where I am

Not knowing where I stand

But I’m drawn like a moth to a flame

It’s not something that I do

It’s a fact that she makes true

She treats the next one just the same

Chorus

Track 10

WALK OF LIFE

Here comes Johnny singing oldies, goldies

Be bop-a looma, baby what I say

Here comes Johnny singing I got a Jeune fille

Down in Cecilia, trying to make it today

He got the action, he got the motion

Oh yeah the boy can play

Dedication, devotion

Turning all the nighttime into the day

You do the song about a sweet New Orleans woman

You do the song about the knife

You do the walk, sha’,

You do the walk of life

Here comes Johnny, and he tell the story

Hand me down my walking shoe

Here come Johnny with the power and the glory

Backbeat, them talking blues

He got the action, he got the motion

Oh yeah the boy can play

Dedication, devotion

Turning all the nighttime into the day

Do the song about a sweet New Orlean woman

Do the song about the knife

Yeah, you do the walk

You do the walk of life

Yeah you do the marche de vie, yeah

Here comes Johnny singing oldies, goldies

Be bop-a looma, baby what I say

Here comes Johnny singing I got a Jeune fille

Down on the levee, gonna meet her today

He got the action, he got the motion

Oh yeah, the boy can play

Dedication, devotion

Turning all the nighttime into the day

And after all the violence and double-talk

It’s just a song with all the trouble and the strife

Oh, you do the walk

You do the walk of life

Hey, you do the walk of life

Talk about, you do the walk of life

Track 11

LET ME LICK YOUR LEG

Laisse-moi leche ton jambe

Say I’m the only one

Leche ton jambe plus tarde ce nuit

You said you liked it so

And I’d love to, you should know

Je veux leche ton jambe plus tarde ce nuit

Let me lick your leg

Baby I would bet

Let me lick your leg late tonight

You said you liked it so

And I would love to, you should know

I would love to lick your leg

Make you feel right

Laisse-moi leche ton jambe

Say I’m the only one

Leche ton jambe plus tarde ce nuit

You know you like it so

Je voudrais, mais you should know

Je veux leche ton jambe plus tarde ce nuit

Let me lick your leg, baby I would beg

Let me lick your leg late tonight
