1. Let Me Entertain You
[originally by Queen]
(Come here)
Hey, it's a sellout! Hey!
Let me welcome you ladies and gentlemen
I would like to say hello!
Are you ready for some entertainment?
Are you ready for a show?
Gonna rock you gonna roll you get you dancing in the aisles
Jazz you razzmatazz you... with a little bit of style
So c'mon let me entertain you
Let me entertain you
Let me entertain you
Let me entertain you
I've come here to sell you my body
I can show you some good merchandise
I'll pull you and I'll pill you I'll cruela-de-ville you
To thrill you I'll use any device haha
We'll give you crazy performance
We'll give you grounds for divorce
We'll give you piece de resistance
And a tour de force of course
We found the right location we got a lot of pretty lights
The sound and amplification
Listen hey if you need a fix if you want a high
Stickells see to that with M.J.J.P.
We gonna show you where it's at
So c'mon let me entertain you
Let me entertain you
Let me entertain you
Let me entertain you
Just take a look at the menu
We'll give you rock a la carte
We'll breakfast at Tiffany's
We'll sing to you in Japanese
We're only here to entertain you
If you want to see some action you get nothing but the best
The S and M attraction we've got the pleasure chest
Chicago down to New Orleans we get you on the line
If you dig the New York scene we'll have a son of a bitch of a
Time
C'mon let me entertain
Let me entertain
Let me entertain you
Tonight!
2. In the End
Stuck on yourself, gacked out your mind
Now who do you think you are?
'Cause if you could see you would probably still be blind
You stab in the back and laugh at the face of inflicted misery
Well I've news for you I won't be the fool in your game
The root of your evil began as a child
Your strength lies in numbers of friends
But where will they be when your antics are dubbed out of style
It's easy to hide all the pain in your mask
It's plain to see you don't know who you are
The only excuse is you don't believe in yourself
Where will you be in the end (I don't know)
When there's no one left to offend (where to go)
The ways of your world can't pretend (now I know)
'Cause your days are about to end
Shit talking fool with no ambition with dreams turned to black and white
There's not much to leave behind, you got no real inspiration
The racism, hatred you're quick to exclaim they leave you to look like The clown
And this circus that you call life is leaving today
You've got no real deserves you've got no real respect
And guess who is laughing now
There's nothing left but remorse in the form regret
3. Here 2day, Gone 2day
I know what you're doing the truth's in your eyes
You exist just to ruin it's no surprise
You took a man from his family, you have no regrets
Devil's smile on your face, but no one forgets
Now you're saying things nobody really wants to hear
When push comes to shove who will bow to your savior-faire
Same old tale, it's like love for sale
And as you're here today, you'll be gone today
Your love was like the blind leading the blind
You played him out like a tool, but you didn't mind
All the treasures you've found were merely fool's gold
And your ass won't easily be kissed when you're gray and old
Prima donna gone bad
And you won't be the last
As long as it took to get up the fall is much too fast
'Cause you got the prize, name in lights full drama queen
But you haven't earned the regard that you will need
Same old tale, it's like love for sale
And as you're here today, you'll be gone today
The truth's in your eyes
And written throughout your face
While you're here and gone there's another
Who'll take your place
Same old tale, it's like love for sale
And as you're here today, you'll be gone today
Love is blind, baby never mind
'Cause as you're here today you'll be gone today
4. Darling Nikki
I knew a girl named Nikki I guess you could say she was a sex fiend
I met her in a hotel lobby masturbating with a magazine
She said how'd you like to waste some time
And I could not resist when I saw little Nikki grind
She took me to her castle and I just couldn't believe my eyes
She had so many devices everything that money could buy
She said sign your name on the dotted line
The lights went out and Nikki started to grind
Nikki the castle started spinning or maybe it was my brain
I can't tell you what she did to me
But my body will never be the same
Her loving will kick your behind oh, she'll show you no mercy
But she'll sure enough sure enough show you how to grind
Darling Nikki woke up the next morning Nikki wasn't there
I looked all over and all I found was a phone number on the stairs
It said thank you for a funky time
Call me up whenever you want to grind
Oh, Nikki, oh come back Nikki, come back your dirty little prince
Wanna grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind grind
5. I'll B There 4 U
There you were
Standing all by yourself
Looking like a puzzled child
'Til I came along
I made you laugh
You told me 'bout the years you cried
The tears that made you wanna die
And times we were wrong
So just call my name
Tell me that you feel the same
If you're always there for me
I'll be there for you
(Oh, whoa)
And if your worlds collide
I'll be standing by your side
And if the rain should fall again
I'll be there for you
You say it's hard to know
You say you're trying to believe
The words you've heard 'em all before
They've just turned to lies
But I can guarantee
The words I sing will carry on
I'll take your pain and make you strong
I'll make it all right
(There for you I'll be there)
I'll be there for you
(There for there for you)
I'll be there for you
(There for you I'll be there)
I've waited this long and I'm not letting go
(There for you I'll be there)
I'll be there for you
(There for there for you)
I'll be there for you
(There for you I'll be there)
6. The Man I'll Never Be
I'm reaching, I'm calling
But you don't seem to hear
I long for the hand of the man
The man who gave me life
No shoulder to cry on
No law when my choice was wrong
My shadows of emptiness
I find them everywhere
I'll never know (I'll never know)
The man I'll never be (no, never)
I missed out on the arms that made me strong
But you won't get that from me (won't get that from me)
The woman, a mother
Can only fill the shoes
But a boy needs a man
To teach him how to be a man
I'll never know (I'll never know)
The man I'll never be (no, never)
One thing I know (one thing I know)
Is my children will know who I am (who I am)
'Cause I missed out on the arms that made me strong
But you won't get that from me (won't get that from me)
[Solo]
One thing I know (one thing I know)
Is my children will know who I am (who I am)
Forever I intend that I will always be
The man I need to be
7. Bellabecca
[Instrumental]
8. Heaven's Got Another Hero
He first appeared before me
In the form of a dream
He was an eminent man
Graced with charm and dignity
He said, 'Live life the best you can.'
As I rose up in my bed I realized this wasn't just a dream
'Cause the picture on the wall was a face I knew, but never met before
Although we will never meet eye to eye
Now I know his spirit will guide me with a father's hand
And he's watching over me in the sky above
'Cause heaven, heaven's got another hero
As I've heard the angels sing
Heaven, heaven's got another hero
And he's left me this offering of love
He shared philosophies like they were tales from days of old
Through his inspiration I learned a better way of life than I would know alone
One thing we have in common is our humble beginnings
We took ambition and rose above it all without forgetting where we came from
And on the day he died time was standing still
For his soul was born again
And now his name will carry on
And if you close your eyes
You can still hear his smile
You can still hear his smile
Now that you're gone
I'm all alone
To make it on my own
Through space and time
We'll reunite
I'll see you I'll see you on the other side
[Solo]
Now in my children's eyes
I can hear you smile
And the world you've left behind still shines for us all to see
That's what makes me believe
9. Your Man
When I'm feeling all alone
All I gotta do is think about you
And when I'm lost and disillusioned
The mere sound of your voice sees me through
And when you're so far away
It get's harder everyday
And I hope you feel the same as these few words
'I wanna spend forever together'
If you'll be my mother, my sister, my lady
I will never, ever let you down
I wanna be your father, your brother, your baby
But most of all... I wanna be your man
Baby, there's no rhyme or reason
That can explain how we've moved so fast
All I know is I can't live without you
I feel the test of time this love's gonna pass
And while you're my best friend you'll never hurt again
And all the promises I've made to you
Will be honored forever, together
10. Frozen
[originally by Madonna]
You only see what your eyes want to see
How can life be what you want it to be
You're frozen when your hearts not open
You're so concerned with how much you get
You waste your time with hate and regret
You're broken when your hearts not open
Mm if I could melt your heart
We'd never be apart
Give yourself to me
'Cause you hold the key
Now there's no point in placing the blame
And you should know I'd suffer the same
If I loose you, my heart will be broken
Love is a bird, and she needs to fly
Let all the hurt inside of you die
You're frozen when your hearts not open
Mm if I could melt your heart
We'd never be apart
Give yourself to me
'Cause you hold the key
You only see what your eyes want to see
How can life be what you want it to be
You're frozen when your hearts not open
Mm if I could melt your heart
We'd never be apart
Give yourself to me
'Cause you hold the key
Mm if I could melt your heart
We'd never be apart
Give yourself to me
'Cause you hold the key
If I could melt your heart
11. Until the Morning Comes
Hello my friend
It's been a long time
This letter I send
I hope finds you well
It's been 'bout a year
Since you went away
But don't you despair
I've got a notion to sell
We'll meet in the middle
and take it to the end
We'll play and sing all night
We'll scream and hear the cries
We won't stop
Until the morning comes
We share a passion between us
We ask you to step inside
We'll ride on
Until the morning comes
The faces have changed
But the candles remain
We've been here before
But still it's brand new
The memories we made
We'll never forget
We've only just begun
An endless rendezvous
We wouldn't change a thing
We'll take it to the top
We'll play and sing all night
We'll scream and hear the cries
We won't stop
Until the morning comes
We share a passion between us
We ask you to step inside
We'll ride on
Until the morning comes
[Solo]
We wouldn't change a thing
We'll take it to the top
12. Angel/Devil
Mother never told me
That the monsters weren't real
Sister never warned me 'bout your type
But I'm not scared of you
Just because you're different from all the rest
I know just what to do
With an ogre in a dress
Angel, you can't hide the little devil inside
Angel, you've lost your pride to the devil inside
Angel, you can't lose with the devil by your side
Angel, you can't choose between the devil in your mind
Father says he remembers meeting one of your kind
Brother says with shame he went down on you
Y don't you see the shame of the ways you wanna bring 'em down
This so called fantasy, shatters everyone, everything around
13. Pavilion of Oblivion
Feeling down feeling empty
Like you don't have a friend
The world and their brothers are banging down your door
Nothing soothes nothing satisfies
You might as well be alone
Try though you may to run
You still end up on the floor
In your search for mere happiness
You can't dwell on what's gone is past
Don't let 'em get you down
Don't let 'em spin you 'round
In the pavilion of oblivion
Like a bird with a broken wing
Feel you're falling again
Needing more than a saviour
To rescue your soul
Through the rear-view mirror
Objects are closer than they seem
But the road ahead can be endless
When you're all alone
As you're running
Don't stop to cry
Don't feed on
Their severed lies
Don't apologize for your alibis
In the pavilion of oblivion
14. Madison
I took you in
When you were young and needed someone
So innocent
I fell for you from day one
You came into my life
With no signs or warnings
My curious child
You go crazy when I'm gone
Rambunctious, yet so beautiful
How could you be so wild
Adventurous, yet oh so cool
Still you can make me smile
Sometimes I could just throw you to the wolves
Sometimes I just need your style
I can see you. I can feel you
Please tell me that you're never gonna go
'Cause I need you to stay
[Solo]
I call your name
And you usually come a-running
But from time to time
You turn the other way
You shed a tear each time you induce my rage
The guilt surrenders my pride
You fill me with laughter
Yet you make me scream
This ain't no average ordinary ride
You can rip and tear at the seams
I think I know what it means
You can't stand being left alone
I'll do the best I can
To be your biggest fan
I won't just give the dog a bone
You'll always be a little girl
And as your tale unfurls
The song will still remain the same
Madison, I'll say again
I'll make you my best friend
Don't ever go away
