The Bathtub Song

THE BATHTUB SONG - Written by Carroll Bryant

Well I'm farting in the tub and biting at the bubbles

Squeeze my rubber ducky and forget about my troubles

Gotta go, gotta go, better run on the double

Just farting in the tub and biting at the bubbles

I just got in from a real hard day

Want nothing to do 

Got nothing to say

I wish it didn't have to be this way

Work, hard work with no time to play

I wish I didn't miss my gal

But who needs her anyhow?

"Maybe her other boyfriend, ha-ha"

Well I'm farting in the tub and biting at the bubbles

Squeeze my rubber ducky and forget about my troubles

Gotta go, gotta go, better run on the double

Just farting in the tub and biting at the bubbles

Just wash away a hard days work

My brain has a pain and my body has a hurt

Sometimes I almost feel like dirt

But I shouldn't complain 'cause it could be worse

I wish I had a warm dry towel

But who needs one anyhow?

"Maybe some other jerk. As for me, I'm happy right where I'm at, ha-ha"

And that is .....

Farting in the tub and biting at the bubbles

Squeeze my rubber ducky and forget about my troubles

Gotta go, gotta go, better run on the double

Just farting in the tub and biting at the bubbles

Halloween

HALLOWEEN - Written by Carroll Bryant

I was walking down the street with a vengeance 

The wind was blowing wild, so cool

I reflected to the first time you saw me

I saw you - my spirit

I was lonely - my spirit

And the gate to your graveyard was open

I could only wonder if you were to bury me

And I viewed the tombstones of your lovers

And inscribed on them all was simply, 'rest in peace'

And I was walking through a dark field of dreams

In the distance I thought I heard you scream

I wasn't frightened by the power 

Just the mystery

And I was caught up in it - Halloween

Your love scared me

Your love

I was walking down the street with ambition

The force was pulling me like a fool

I deflated all of my common conscience 

I used you - my spirit

I was angry - my spirit

And the road to attrition was tainted

I could only wonder if you were to abuse me

I envisioned the torture of your lovers

And inflicted on them all was misery

And I was walking through a dark field of dreams

In the distance I thought I heard you scream

I wasn't frightened by the power 

Just the mystery

And I was caught up in it - Halloween

Your love scares me

Your love

If you don't understand, I can't explain it

I reflected to the first time you saw me

I saw you - my spirit

I was lonely - my spirit

And the gate to your graveyard was open

I could only wonder if you were to bury me

And I viewed the tombstones of your lovers

And inscribed on them all was simply, 'rest in peace'

And I was walking .... in the distance

I was walking .... I wasn't frightened

I was caught up in it ....

If you don't understand, I can't explain it

And I was walking through a dark field of dreams

In the distance I thought I heard you scream

I wasn't frightened by the power 

Just the mystery

And I was caught up in it - Halloween

And I was walking through a dark field of dreams

Halloween - your love scared me

Your love scares me

Your love scared me

Your love

I was walking down the street

Just walking down the street

Words on the tombstone

Are words needn't be spoken

Just viewed by eyes

And it scared me inside

Don't say you love me

Please don't tell me you love me

I thought I heard you scream

Lovers and mysteries

Lovers are mysteries

Lovers are misery 

Halloween

Your love scared me

Your love scares me

Your love scared me

Your love

The Cat

THE CAT - Written by Carroll Bryant

They're watching with the eyes of a corpse

Waiting to see how I do it

Eternity is forever a long time

I can pull it off, but all will die before I prove it

If you want to live on and on, the voices say

Repeat after me and say it with belief - conviction

I do, I do

Through me and be like you

I do, I do

And live in captivity

I do, I do

Through me to be like you

I do, I do

And live eternity without love

They roam around invisible

Knowing all too well that I can see them

Their words cannot be heard

What'd I hear?

I can pull the feat and all must die before I save them

If you want to live on and on, the voices say

Repeat after me and say it with belief - conviction

I do, I do

Through me and be like you

I do, I do

And live in captivity

I do, I do

Through me to be like you

I do, I do

And live eternity without love

I spoke the evil rhyme 

Drank the magic liquid wine

Opened my gates of plea

Just to witness all I see

I crossed the holy line

To shake hands with pure Divine 

God was on my mind

God is on my side

(Right here beside me)

They whisper with the tongue of the decease

Telling lies among each others presence 

But I can fool a fox and slither like a snake

I elude their trap because I am where it's at (The cat)

If you want to live on and on, the voices say

Repeat after me and say it with belief - conviction

I do, I do

Through me and be like you

I do, I do

And live in captivity

I do, I do

Through me to be like you

I do, I do

And live eternity without love

I do!

Play

PLAY - Written by Carroll Bryant

We live in luxury as little baby cries

Living out our fantasies as little baby dies

What bothers me the most is the way we walk away

Street to street across the coast

Nothing but play

And we play

And we play

Life goes on I know and sometimes that's a shame

And we play

And we play

Growing old with every breath and living day to day

We watch a building crumble as the earthquake devastates 

Hugo the horrible was such a nasty wave

Texas felt the heat that blasted straight from hell

When abortion was aborted 

Washington fell

And we play

And we play

On our heels or tippy-toes and dancing so gay

And we play

And we play

Doing nothing much no more with even less for us to say

Ring around the rosey and we all fall down

Hearts grow in the gutter 

No roots in the ground

Ring around the rosey and we all fall down

What bothers me the most is the way we inflict pain

Street to street across the coast

Nothing but play

And we play

And we play

Time marches on I know and sometimes it's okay

And we play

And we play

Growing old with every breath and living day to day

And we play 

And we play

Life goes on I know and sometimes that's a shame

And we play

And we play

Right up to the very end of another busy day

And we play

Hallelujah

HALLELUJAH - Written by Carroll Bryant

We want all that everyone else has

We want most what we can't possess 

Just like a cry that turns into a laugh

We aren't content to be second best

The thing we keep looking for is knowledge of life

Locked behind closed doors and guarded with a knife

Some travel so far as to beg for a goal

Willing to give up the precious of souls

Hallelujah - Hallelujah we say

Hallelujah - Hallelujah we pray

Hallelujah - Hallelujah we say

Hallelujah - Hallelujah we pray

Like Sheba who visited the king who had wisdom

Wasn't content, had to see for herself

We long for the taste of sweeter or bitter

In the end the story takes care of itself

Hallelujah - Hallelujah we say

Hallelujah - Hallelujah we pray

Hallelujah - Hallelujah we say

Hallelujah - Hallelujah we pray

The master, the beggar, and runaway children

Streaking across the hot desert sand

The leaders, the loners, like Noah and Moses

Top of the ladder on his master plan

The beast of the demon is someone's religion

D before evil is fame for the blame 

No one will say it, but oh, won't they pray it

Beginners or sinners, they all know his name

Hallelujah - Hallelujah we say

Hallelujah - Hallelujah we pray

Hallelujah - Hallelujah we say

Hallelujah - Hallelujah we pray

Anything But Love

ANYTHING BUT LOVE - Written by Carroll Bryant

I'm sure you're a nice girl

You carry all the qualities

But mine is not a nice world

And you say you wanna be with me

I'm not what you think

I've been hurt a time or two

And now I'm living on the brink

This doesn't have a thing to do with you

Give me anything

Anything but love

Anything but love

Because it hurts too much

And I'm not really tough, so

Give me anything

Give me everything

Give me anything but love

Time, to me, is waiting

I can't dance to your song

It's very hard in relating

When the feeling isn't very strong

But I still need your healing power

Somehow you ease the pain

And your sweetness covers up the sour

But I can still see her face

Give me anything

Anything but love

Anything but love

Because it hurts too much

And I'm not really tough, so

Give me anything

Give me everything

Give me anything but love

I can see your light (In the black dark)

You still shine on me

The moment doesn't feel right (With a black heart)

You can take it or you can leave 

Give me anything

Anything but love

Anything but love

Because it hurts too much

And I'm not really tough, so

Give me anything

Give me everything

Give me anything but love

Fever

FEVER - Written by Carroll Bryant

Way down deep inside us all

A secret thought knocks on the wall

There's two lives that we are given

Although some of us choose only to live one

As we decide with tame or wild

We are taught to kill the child

Concentrate on money things

Aldults can only have adulthood fun

What happens then?

How close is a friend?

Boy meets girl, must have the sex

Relationships are what the heck

The fever that takes us over

Keeps us from being ourselves

And we bow

I watch with eager eyes of hope

In that our world don't go up in smoke

As everything we seem to do

Seems to prove we're still the fools

Technology plays with our minds

Criminals still commit crimes

The dollar bill can't save our souls

It's passed around like a nasty ho

The fever's running high

Just enough to get us by

Are you catching on son?

I'll give you the odds at a hundred to one

You won't win the race, son

Take it to your fate because destiny don't wait for no one

Fever burns and burns us up

Whether money, sex or drugs

We have to drive for what's at stake

When in the end we all must break

Fever burns and burns us up

Never can we get too much

We have to strive to get our fill

What we lust the most will surely kill us

It's the fever

The old man looks at his dreams

Every time he sees a teen

Set his sail, but lost at sea

I wonder where his mind could be?

We cover up our fatal tracks

Face to face and stab a back

Find our way along the trail

Live in heaven

Die in hell

Fever burns and burns us up

Whether money, sex or drugs

We have to drive for what's at stake

When in the end we all must break

Fever burns and burns us up

Never can we get too much

We have to strive to get our fill

What we lust the most will surely kill us

Fever burns fever

"Some build their castles out of fantasies. The poor go to war while the rich, they find a seat." 

Where do we go from here?

Where do we go from here?

When a man is set, he finds a wife

That kind of fill isn't in a lonely mans life

Where do we go from here?

Where do we go from here?

Fever

It's that fever

Fever burns fever

New Faces, New Places

NEW FACES, NEW PLACES - Written by Carroll Bryant

New faces, new places

And here I am all tied up in love

It's early, I'm in a hurry

No time to worry about you

The clock's ticking, I'm tocking 

I'm walking in a brand new pair of shoes

Some things can be so trivial

Some things just boggle the mind

Sometimes some things are such a hassle

Sometimes some things are hard to find

New faces, new places

The heart erases all of that silly stuff

New faces, new places

And here I am all tied up in love

In trouble, on the double

Blow the bubble straight out of your mouth

Stop teasing, start pleasing

Keep squeezing me like this inside your house

Some things can be so innocent

Some things just play on your mind

Sometimes some things are different

Sometimes some things are hard to climb

New faces, new places

The heart erases all of that silly stuff

New faces, new places

And here I am all tied up in love

Some things can get so personal

Some things just happen all the time

Sometimes some things are there for everyone

Sometimes some things are such a crime

Some things can get so out of touch

Some things just fall right into line

Sometimes some things are really too much

Sometimes some things are not that hard to find

New faces, new places

The heart erases all of that silly stuff

New faces, new places

And here I am all tied up in love

New faces, new places

The heart erases all of that silly stuff

New faces, new places

And here I am all tied up in love

Dead End Street

DEAD END STREET - Written by Carroll Bryant

It's our nature

To try and be clever

And then you come along

And you take it to another level

Style!

It's just in the way of your smile

It's pointless to begin to think

That you are where it ends for me

When the heart becomes the picture

That you painted with your kisses

Then the lies become the difference

And the truth is there to see

That I'm walking down a dead end street

Yes, I'm walking down a dead end street

And my love will cast a shadow 

On the walls of make believe

As I'm walking down a dead end street

It's no wonder

A storm carries thunder 

And then you slip away

And leave the lightening and the rain

Help!

It's just in the way that you smell

It's arguably the saddest day

When hero's hold their own parade

When the hurt becomes a weapon

That is secretly denied

Then all hope becomes a smoke screen

Another chance passes you by

And you're walking down a dead end street

Yes, you're walking down a dead end street

And your love will burn forever 

On the surface of a lake

As you're walking down a dead end street

It's just not enough to know that  tomorrow is another day

It's just not the way to employ ourselves - for the pay

For the pay

Not today

When the heart becomes the picture

That you painted with your kisses

Then the lies become the teacher

And the truth is there to see

That I'm walking down a dead end street

Yes, I'm walking down a dead end street

And my love will cast a shadow 

On the walls of make believe

As I'm walking down a dead end street

Graffiti Heart

GRAFFITI HEART - Written by Carroll Bryant

Dare we stand in the swirl of the storm?

The eye of our imbecility shall view the chaos of our own demise

Less to our love - peace and respect - and so shall we drown 

In our imaginary luster we call 'being special'

Think as a God and a God you shall become

Of nothing

But a king of vanity ye shall be again

Not your worth shall you do

The world

The times

The darkness of your thoughts

And the knowledge therein shall become

The point in which you can, from that, start

And play ignorant to the truth

And to that, the habit of your ways

That become from your graffiti heart 

Life Or Death?

LIFE OR DEATH? - Written by Carroll Bryant

When you're born, is it a new life?

Or is it death from another dimension?

When you die, are you really dead?

Or are you born unto another new invention?

Why all the questions when the answers are in sight?

Why all the doubt my friends?

Are you afraid of the dark night?

Simple reason, explanations, and purpose you will never find

Only convictions, illusions, of what you want to believe

When you can't escape the rituals from which you were raised  from

Inside you and your vivid mind - concede

Spiritually, come to deceive 

I've seen it happen all the time

When you're born, is it a new life?

Or is it death from another dimension?

When you die, are you really dead?

Or are you born unto another new invention?

When I was born, did I die?

When I die, will I be born?

Try and decide which one is evolution or a prayer

Which one is it gonna be?

There is an answer

When you're born it is a new life

It is death from another dimension

When you die you don't really die

Because the universe is the only invention

And there's your answer ......

Dark Thought

DARK THOUGHT - Written by Carroll Bryant

Satan lives in the other side of me

Satan's lungs breathes in my air

Where I thought the door was closed

And assumed the room to be empty

Satan lives in the other side

What I thought was light became a shadow

When I felt it full it was but hollow

Where I thought the door was closed

And assumed the room to be empty

Satan lives in the other side

I can feel his presence

He's watching, and waiting

He knows that the God above loves suffering

And pain

I used to pray for the door to be closed 

And assumed the room was empty

But Satan lives in the other side

Am I gonna burn?

Am I ever gonna learn?

To be consumed by the fires of hate

Go through the ordeal of love

To acquire the patience and wait

I stand through the trial alone

Is the question not the answer?

Is the question simply the answer?

Satan lives in the other side of me

Satan's lungs breathes in my air

Where I thought the door was closed

And assumed the room to be empty

Satan lives in the other side

Satan lives in the other side

Slam Jam

SLAM JAM - Written by Carroll Bryant

All the world was getting ready

To play the final party

To celebrate the coming

Of the end of another summer

At bat but not a chance

As the ground started its shaking

Mother Nature did her dance

Hearts, souls, and buildings breaking

It only goes on to prove

Everything we got we stand to lose

Slam jam - Out goes the lights

Slam jam - Another fight 

Slam jam with tearful eyes

As San Francisco dies

Slam jam - Out goes the lights

Slam jam - The longest night

Slam jam for all who cried

On the night San Francisco died

All of society must battle with their dreams 

As Mother Nature screams, "Don't you dare tread on me!"

What takes so long to build

Tragedy in one day kills

So do with it just what you will

Mankind must always rebuild

It only goes to show

What we think we just don't know

Slam jam - Out goes the lights

Slam jam - Another fight 

Slam jam with tearful eyes

As San Francisco dies

Slam jam - Out goes the lights

Slam jam - The longest night

Slam jam for all who cried

On the night San Francisco died

"All of San Francisco is stunned as an Earthquake rattles through the city prior to the start of the third game of the World Series between the Giants and the Oakland A's, registering a 6.9 on the Richter Scale ....."

"At least 250 deaths are expected or believed ..."

"The fatality numbers cannot be confirmed ..."

"An Earthquake at approximately 5:04 PST rips through the city by the bay ..."

"We cannot, at this time, confirm any of the reports regarding the death toll, only that it could be massive. We are playing it moment by moment as the situation develops ..."

"This is, reportedly, the third largest quake in the history of the San Francisco area ..."

"The death toll is believed to reach some 250 or more. Again, this cannot be confirmed ..."

What the hell is going on, revelations?

 

Slam jam - Out goes the lights

Slam jam - Another fight 

Slam jam with tearful eyes

As San Francisco dies

"Again, this cannot be confirmed ..."

Kristine

KRISTINE - Written by Carroll Bryant

Mystic eyes that shine so bright

I get lost inside

Glancing at them chases me

But there's no place to hide

Where can I go to find such glamor?

You're everything that fills the need

If you were a nail I'd be the hammer

If you were death then I wouldn't breathe

When it comes down to a lonely night

I call out your name, Kristine

Will I stand and face the fire?

Only if the water is you, Kristine

I'll put it out with you, Kristine

Otherwise, let it burn me

The touch of your skin can drive me crazy

I get so consumed

The taste of your lips can turn the key

What else to expect from you?

When no one else can ring my bell

I pray for you by my side

I would by-pass heaven if you were hell

Never tell the truth if you were a lie

When it comes down to a lonely night

I call out your name, Kristine

Will I stand and face the fire?

Only if the water is you, Kristine

I'll put it out with you, Kristine

Otherwise, let it burn me

Though you left me with just a bite

You know I crave for more

Running a race with love everynight

But I don't know what for

Holding you in my arms

Well yes, I guess I was lost

Nobody ever felt so right

Nobody else was worth the cost

The price

I can't stop thinking about you

When it comes down to a lonely night

I call out your name, Kristine

Will I stand and face the fire?

Only if the water is you, Kristine

I'll put it out with you, Kristine

Otherwise, let it burn me

Just let the fire burn me

Cruisin And Rockin

CRUISIN AND ROCKIN - Written by Carroll Bryant

Speeding down the avenue trying to get to you

Cruisin and rockin

Crossed the line and ran a light, feeling pretty good tonight

Cruisin and rockin

Cranking out the jams

Gonna blow this town away

Got your lovin on my mind

Only one thing left to say

I got the feel tonight cruisin and rockin

I feel so good tonight cruisin and rockin

 

Got a thought and it won't stop burnin down the city blocks

Cruisin and rockin

Crossed the line and ran a sign, feelin really wild inside

Cruisin and rockin

Kickin out the sounds 

Without any much delay

Meshing with the volume in my soul 

I have to say

I got the feel tonight cruisin and rockin

I feel so good tonight cruisin and rockin

I got the feel tonight cruisin and rockin

I feel so good tonight cruisin and rockin

I got a million megawatts rushin through my brains

Your touch is the only thought drivin me insane

Got your lovin on my mind

This city traffic takes too much time

Gonna blow this town away

Speeding down the avenue trying to get to you

Crossed the line and ran a light, feeling pretty good tonight

I got the feel tonight cruisin and rockin

I feel so good tonight cruisin and rockin

I got the feel tonight cruisin and rockin

I feel so good tonight cruisin and rockin

Gonna blow this town away
