Love or Money

Is it my pleasure? Or is it yours?
To stand here right now behind these doors.
See what I'm giving. Take what you like.
For love or money, for love or money.
There is no reason to run away.
We're just pretending, it's a game that we play.
See what I'm giving, take what you like.
For love or money, for love or money
It's all gone dark now the light is gone.
No one can see me the shades are drawn.
Oh see what I'm giving and take, take what you like.
For love or money, for love or money, yeah oh for love or money.
Once upon a time there was a little girl and she dreamed of a knight in shining armor.
Once upon a time there was a little girl.
It's all gone dark now the light is gone.
No one can see me the shades, the shades are drawn.
Oh see what I'm giving and take what you like.
For love or money. For love or money.
All for love. All for love. All for love.
All for love or money

Snakes for Angels

I want to make a confession
I've been thinking about you
For a long time now
I can feel the flames around me
When the night comes down
In the garden the snakes do roam
They wrap around us
When they come home
I've been thinking about you
For a long time now
I can feel the flames around me
In the garden
Those snakes do roam
They wrap around me
I've been thinking about us baby
I've been thinking about us baby
In the garden
In the garden
Those snakes do roam
In the garden
I wanna make a confession
I wanna make a confession
You’re under my skin

Am I Okay?
Or am I all right?
Will it be today?
Or will it be tonight?
The angels they call
Come to our side
The darkness it falls
And there’s
Nowhere
Nowhere
Nowhere to hide
And I will come..
Black painted eyes
Shivering inside
Dancing in lights
Out of my mind
One last time
feel me
feel me
feel me
One last time
And I will come
And I will come
Black painted eyes
Shivering inside
Dancing in lights
Out of my mind
One last time
feel me
feel me
One last time
And I will come
I will
I will
I oh...

Why
04:57
|
|||
|
What becomes of us?
What comes to mind?
Are the reasons clear?
Are they lost in time?
And Why.... then why...
Is the shadow gone?
Did the lights go down?
Will I learn to breathe?
Will I hear the sound?
And why do I feel so wrong?...
Then why?
You are not safe from your Icarus wings that won't take you home again...
What became of us?
What comes to mind?
Were the reasons clear?
Were they lost in time?
Is the shadow gone?
Did the lights go down?
Will I learn to breathe?
Will I hear the sound?
And why do I feel so wrong?
And why?
What became of us?
What comes to mind?
Are the reasons clear?
Are they lost in time?
And the stabs, and the guns, and the grief, and the bleeding, and the stain, and the lies. And the guilt and the wounds, and the scars, and the healing, and the words, and the lies. And the hate and the fire and war and the cheating and the pain and the lies…
and the lies

I hear you walking above me
And I feel your heart beat inside
And I know what you're saying about me. So baby I will take you take you take you take you take you For a, for a ride...
You know Iʼve been talking to Jesus
He said you are next in line,
Cause if you decide to deceive me again
I promise it will be your last time
I promise it will be your last time
And when I take you to see him,
Well I might get a noose of my own,
Cause last time that he heard you breathing
My hands were wrapped around your wrapped around your
wrapped around your throat
My hands were wrapped around your throat
Baby baby baby baby Iʼm so so so sorry But darlin' you just had to go...

Pink Elephant
03:56
|

|
It takes a lot of paper to gift wrap an elephant, or so that child's story goes.
But his bright pink shines through as he stands in our living room.
We close the blinds so the neighbors won't see.
We wouldn't want to tarnish that pretty picture we polished.
But don't they know our houses are made of glass?

Karen Nielsen recommends:
Planting Oblivion
by Sarah Fimm
Came across this stunning album. The track, 'Broken Arrow' broke my heart. Sarah Fimm captures our spirit, our fear, our beauty and vulnerability as humans. In the end...nothing more than memories.
go to album
Anne Stott's album is a journey of life and wondering. I keep getting stuck on the track "Light Breaks'. I keep pressing repeat when it ends.
