Ghost of the Robot---Album:Mad Brilliant
--------------------ANGEL-----------
Musik & Text: James Marsters-----------------
She comes home to me after a hard night?s work
Falls in my arms and sleeps like a bird
Startle, wakes up, like she don?t know me
Cocks back her fist like she?s going to slug me
Like, who are you anyway
And what are you doing to me?
She?s an angel
But she can?t see it
She?s got wings,
But she can?t feel ?em
She?s an angel
But she can?t see it
But she?s flying above me every day
Every day of my life.
Bight diamond eyes with daggers beneath them
She carries the chains of a million decisions
That weren?t even hers to begin with anyway
But she carries them all
All the people around her
Never even notice that she?s very very tired
She?s an angel
But she can?t see it
She?s got wings
But she can?t feel ?em
She?s an angel
But she can?t see it
But she?s rising above me every day
Every day of my life---------------------------------

DANGEROUS-------------------------------
Musik & Text: James Marsters---------------------
I don?t think you know my name
I think you?d leave me standing in the rain
You?re a pretty little thing, got a thing for me
But you?d cut me open and let me bleed
But I?m lookin? at you
With your long brown hair
Pretty little feet
Sparkling everywhere
You look so good
When you come my way
But I have to look down
When you talk to me
?Cause you?re dangerous
Dangerous
Dangerous
And you don?t even know it
One baby, two, maybe three more years
You?ll be a full hot baby, have all your curves
And here?s my little taste of irony
You?ll be a too hot baby, too good for me
But I?ll be looking at you
With your long brown hair
Pretty little feet
Sparkling everywhere
You look so good
When you come my way
But I have to look down
When you talk to me
?Cause you?re dangerous
Dangerous
Dangerous
And you don?t even know it
So little baby, you better stay set
Play with fire when you get too wet
So set me down and leave me be
You?ll find a devil when you unchain me
But I?ll be looking at you
With your long brown hair
Pretty little feet
Sparkling everywhere
You look so good
When you come my way
But I have to look down
When you talk to me
?Cause you?re dangerous
Dangerous
Dangerous
And you don?t even know it----------------------

DAVID LETTERMAN---------------------
Musik & Text: Charlie De Mars-------------------
Wouldn?t it be nice,
if I could be, David Letterman?
Wouldn?t it be right,
if I could be, your favourite TV personality?
Wouldn?t it be sweet,
if I could laugh you to sleep, five nights a week?
And I try as hard as I can,
but I could never be David Letterman ?
I know he knows you look up to him,
but you don?t visit his sleep,
I know, I know this is what I missed,
your eyes are just for me,
really don?t see how we could be,
I still put trust in fate,
it?s something slow that I don?t know so I say ?
Wouldn?t it be nice,
if I could be, David Letterman?
Wouldn?t it be right,
if I could be, your favourite TV personality?
Wouldn?t it be sweet,
if I could laugh you to sleep, five nights a week?
And I try as hard as I can,
but I could never be David Letterman ?---------------------

GERMAN. JEWISH.-------------------------------
Musik & Text: Charlie De Mars----------------------
I?m German, you?re Jewish
How could we ever make it through this?
I?ve got this problem that seems to linger
Everytime I find myself around your finger.
This would make more sense, in another time
Not in America where we?re westernised
But if we were, what would I do
What would I have said to what we?ve gone through?
War won?t stop me, I?m no Nazi
That?s why I?d never tell
If you were fighting, surviving, hiding
Behind an old bookshelf.
I?m German, you?re Jewish
How could we ever make it through this?
I?ve got this problem that seems to linger
Everytime I find myself around your finger.
You?ve always been above, in some higher class
I?m just a small rock star, you?re an actress
What could I say, to ever prove to you
That there can be a love between a German and a Jew?
War won?t stop me, I?m no Nazi
That?s why I?d never tell
If you were fighting, surviving, hiding
Behind an old bookshelf ?----------------------

GOODBYE----------------------------
Musik & Text: James Marsters---------------------
I don?t care what people?re gonna say about it
I just wanna sit here and drink your sweet wine
Know they?re gonna say you?re too young for me but
Think if I kiss you that would be fine
Know how it?s gonna end before it ever starts now
You?re gonna give me love sweeter than pie
Part your lips as if you?re gonna kiss me
Say a word it?s gonna break me
Bye bye, bye bye, goodbye
Bye bye, bye bye, goodbye
Christopher Robin gave old Pooh up
Grown up, didn?t need Pooh no more
Babe, believe me this ain?t the first time
I?m thrown down on the playroom floor
Bye bye, bye bye, goodbye
Bye bye, bye bye, goodbye
I don?t care what people?re gonna say about it
I just wanna sit here and drink your sweet wine
Know they?re gonna say you?re too young for me but
Think if I kiss you that would be fine
Bye bye, bye bye, goodbye
Bye bye, bye bye, goodbye
Bye bye baby, baby bye bye
Bye bye bye
Bye bye baby, baby
Sorry baby
I?m just fast-----------------------

MÉFIANT-----------------
Musik & Text: Steven Sellers------------------
It's not fair ya know
When you're the only one in tune.
It's not fair my love
When you're not broken hearted too.
It's not fair anymore...
All the schemes that you dream about
Won't matter at all when you wake up alone.
And if she really haunts you now
Just pick up the phone, but, you know you won't.
It's not fair ya know
When you're the only one in tune.
It's not fair my love
When you're not broken hearted too.
It's not fair anymore...-------------------

SMILE----------------------
Musik & Text: James Marsters------------------
In, I?m falling in
I didn?t want to
Not so fast, boy
Slow,
Don?t wanna hurt the girl
Get her a pretty box
You better fill it
And I get blinded when she opens the door
It?s like looking into the sun, you know
And I?m just blinkin?, mumblin?, starin? at my shoes
And she just looks at me
And smiles
Smiles
Smiles
So, there we go again
And it feels so good
To fall up and down
Damn, it?s 2am again
And she kisses me goodbye
For the sixteenth time
And I?m driving home, it?s 5am
And I look at the sun come up over the hills
And the clouds are turning pink and green
And all I can see is her eyes
Eyes
Eyes
I get blinded when she opens the door
It?s like looking into the sun, you know
And I?m just blinkin?, mumblin?, starin? at my shoes
She just looks at me
And smiles
Smiles
Smiles--------------------

SOUNDS LIKE A PERSONAL PROBLEM---------------
Musik & Text: Charlie De Mars----------------
What is this crap, I'm going through,
where am I at, and who are you,
to make me feel, like I'm so scared,
caught me off-guard, was not prepared,
for you,
so smart, so cool,
to me,
life seems, it shouldn't be this way.
So here I am, and there you are,
sitting so close, feeling so far,
from me and I, can't figure out,
what I should say, what's this about,
to you,
to smart, to cool,
for me,
life seems, it shouldn't be this way...---------------

VALERIE-------------------
Musik & Text: Steven Sellers---------------
Got an old Smiths? record
And I put it on endlessly.
To mourn a lethal fascination
Of a girl named Valerie.
She?s got a triple X rating
And maybe someday she?d have married me.
But she was born to keep me waiting
Her name was Valerie.
With a little more time, I was thinking
We could?ve worked my hooks into you.
Over a recent complication
I come to find that she?d tired of me.
She wrote the book of Revelations
Her name was Valerie.
With a little more time, I was thinking
We could?ve worked my life around you
With a little more time
Whoa!------------------

VEHICLES SHOCK ME----------------
Musik: Aaron Anderson, Text: A. Anderson / Charlie De Mars------------------
So you caught me all alone
Did you think I?d care at all?
Now I?m sitting by the phone
Waiting for you to call
It rang a million times
Before I picked it up
I wear a stupid smile
Saying that I?m stuck
The effervescent beauty of a face so thin
All the stupid questions
Well they did me in
Who was I to think to tell?
You drove her to uh oh oh
Fake plastic trees are dead
Have a good time when you fall
It rang a million times
Before I picked it up
I wear a stupid smile
Saying that I?m stuck
The effervescent beauty of a face so thin
All the stupid questions
Well they did me in
Everything
Is upside down
Everything
Is over now
It rang a million times
When you lied to me
It rang a million times
When you lied
It rang a million times
It rang a million times
It rang a million times
It rang a million times
It?s your birthday
And I?m not there
Because you don?t even
Know that I?m here
Fake trees you
Plant behind you
When it?s me there
Right beside you
I?m the shade that
Creeps your shoulder
When it hides you face from me
I can?t get over
Can?t get under
Can?t get around or
Through to you
I can?t get over
Can?t get under
Can?t get around or
Through to you
Everything
Is over now
