There's something I quite like about that song, it's fun and inventive, you know, creatively playful.
The large print giveth, and the small print taketh away.

Kara
c. '16 Vlayman

Oh, my little girl, how big you gone and got
And to think you promised that would never happen
If I left you on top
Of the world
My little girl
_

Hey now my honey, I can taste your sugar from here
I hold it dear
Next to me
in my memory

Oh Kara, my Kara
Kara, can you forgive me
Oh Kara, my Kara
Kara, can you live without me
For now?

Oh baby, you hadda lovin' tongue
We shoulda stopped there
without a care
remained free and young

CH

Hey now my girlie-girl, I know it's you who misses
When I get outta here we'll be a fambly
I'll give ya both all my kisses

Freckles
c. '16 Vlayman

Ginger baby, alabaster skin
I'm a bastard let me in
I didn't mean to sin
Let me in

Don't mind how I fell down
All turned around
Don't mind the heckles
Don't mind how I fell down
All turned around
And I really love yer freckles

Green eyed fox don't throw no cock block
Don't hate me no more
Open up the door
Let me in

Don't mind how I fell down
All turned around
I'ain't Dr. H. Jeckyls
I really love yer freckles

Satisfied in my mind
You is what I find
In my heart
Let me in

Fever of the Gods
c. '16 Vlayman

When it gets that hot
You can be pretty sure what you got
Somethin' deep within
Mortal man calls a sin

You got the fever, fever
of the gods

When yer incapable of praying
And yer body keeps on dehydrating
When you can't help but begin
Even tho' you know it's mebbe a sin

You got the fever, fever
of the gods

Don't matter if you is the promised one
Once yer there it's already begun
All you can do is go again
Make it yer own special sin

You got the fever, fever
of the gods

Management
c. '16 Vlayman

It's the kinda thing ya do
when they're lookin' at you
Do ya know what I mean
It ain't really me
I ain't tryin' to be mean
_
I don't mean to push
But if ya knowed what it took

I know ya know what I mean
It ain't really me
I ain't meant to be mean
It's how ya gotta act
When they on yer back
I know ya know what I mean
It ain't really me
I ain't tryin' to be mean

I ain't better than
q y'all
But it ain't my call
I'm management

This weren't my idear, I guess
And I hope yer last check clears real fast
I din't know what I mean
This ain't really me
I ain't really mean

I ain't better than all y'all
But it ain't my call
I'm management

Younger Women (Hey, Hey!)
c. '16 Vlayman

Standing in the shadows of lust
I been shakin' t'il I rattle and cuss
Standin' in the shadows of love
I'm gonna do what I must

Hey, hey

Lookin' at ya through half closed eyes, yeah
You make me think about how I wanna die

CH: Hey, hey, what is it about younger women
Puts me in mind of what I ain't been givi n' (#2 gettin')
Ain't just a line that I'm singin',
about my loneliness?

Smellin' yer tears, tastin' yer hair
What doya fear? Why can't ya stay?
Why can't ya stay?

With all apolojeeze to the RHCP ...

Wishin'
c. '16 Vlayman

Ever'body feels some uncertainty
It comes with the territory
It's that o' insecurity
Makes you afraid of me, ain't no reason to be

CH:
You been sittin' there wonderin',
if you should
And I been sittin' here wishin',
wishin you would

You ain't the only one feelin' yerself sweat
And we ain't even begun yet
I bet you kinda wish we was already done
And you coud get to say,, "Take me home, I had fun"

CH

RAP double-time:
Ever'body feels some insecurity
Ever'body feels some inferiority
It's that demon uncertaintainty
Makes you so afraid of me
You ain't the only one feelin' yerself sweat
We could have alotta fun we just ain't begun yet
You ain't never gonna wanna be completely done
We gonna make so much good lovin', lovin', lovin'
Ain't got be askeered, is what I'm tellin' you
Tho' I confess, I'm a li'l askeered, too
But we arrived with mutual expectations
Our fascination's gonna turn to appreciation

Dandelion
c. '16 Lyrics: J. Mattera; Music: Vlayman

Dandelion, she comes to me
Dandelion, she sets me free
Dandelion, won't let me be
Oh, Dandelion, she loves me more than me

Dandelion, she gets on top
Dandelion, she won't stop
Dandelion, proud and true
Dandelion, she's not for you

Springtime baby, she grows free
Springtime baby,just wait and see
Oh, Dandelion, she loves me more than me
Oh, Dandelion, she loves me more than me

Dandelion,
Oh, Dandelion,
Dandelion, , she loves me more than me

Burn You Down
c. '16 Vlayman

Speaking in tongues is all you do when I'm around
And I love how you do it so without a sound
You make your feelings known whenever I'm around
I hate how you make 'em known all over town

You have no subtlety and I bet you think that's fine
It ain't just cruelty when I say I don't want you for mine
You have no idear of real class, living as ya do by yer ass
And it ain't yer fault I guess, but it's obvious you love bein' a mess

You have no subtlety, no, always speaking in tongues
I know you couldn't care less, but how ya do is wrong
You hafta make your feelings known when I'm around
But if I have a preference, it's that you don't make a sound

Say that I'm your one desire
Say it with a little fire
I'll bring you to the pyre
Say that I'm your one desire
Say it with a little fire
I'll burn you down

Firemen and cops and soldiers can count on longer lives
And drowning men will get a whole lot older if they don't look into yer eyes
You don't realize that your truth is lies
And I have the proof right here that you won't survive

Casket For My Friend
dedicated to Orlando, FL
c. '16 Vlayman

I got one of those jobs no one wants to know
One of those jobs take care of ya when ya go
Yeah, I'm one of those guys, there for ya at the very end
And I made a casket for my friend

And I ain' no slob doncha call me no ghoul
And it don't matter how far I mighta went in school
A job's a job, and we all need one in the end
And I made a casket for my friend

And I knowed the job was coming, scared me a bit
Thinking 'bout it comin', freaked me out and shit
You mighta heard about my job on the CNN
And I made a casket for my friend

Bridge:
Some sumbitch took a gun into a club
And in the end he got what he shoulda got
But I hate that they didn't get him way before that end
And I made a casket for my friend

SOLO

I got one of those jobs that I think I'm gonna let it go
One of those jobs s'posed to take care of ya when ya go
Don' wanna hhafta be one of those guys, there for ya at the very end
And I made a casket for my friend

All the Drugs
c. '16 Vlayman

Get the cork out,
pour you another
It's yer favorite way of ducking for cover
Peel the bag open,
make a line
It's yer favorite way of stacking time

CH
With all the drugs
and all the booze
You hadda know you were gonna lose

Twist the cap off
crackin' the seal
It's yer favorite way of numbing how you feel

Draw the stuff up
through the cotton
It's yer favorite way towards ending forgotten
