White Paint

WHITE PAINT - Written by Carroll Bryant

You probably hate me and that's okay

I put you through hell and back but now I say that

I am so sorry for acting that way and

I will take care of it with some white paint 

No one else will love me because no one else likes me

And I know it to be true 

I don't really care because I don't think much about it

But I do think about you 

Would you like to try again because I think that we can make it

Or would you rather I just go away and leave you with your thoughts

Or something

You probably hate me and that's okay

I put you through hell and back but now I say that

I am so sorry for acting that way and

I will take care of it with some white paint 

Here in this world of mine that I have discovered

Lives many mistakes and Divine pleasures

I'd really like to share it with you

But if you think it would be better 

Would you rather I just go away

And leave you with your friends who hate me

Or would you like to try again for the sake of tomorrow

And any happiness that we might find

You probably hate me and that's okay

I put you through hell and back but now I say that

I am so sorry for acting that way and

I will take care of it with some white paint 

You probably hate me 

Would you like to try again because I think that we can make it this time

Or would you rather I just go away and leave you with your thoughts

Or something 

You probably hate me and that's okay

I put you through hell and back but now I say that

I am so sorry for acting that way and

I will take care of it with some white paint 

I wish that I could see you again

I wish that I could be with you

I wish that I could spend the rest of my life wishing that I could spend 

The rest of my life with you

I wish that I could have you back, but it's too late

I wish that I could laugh with you again, but it's too late

I wish that you would wish for me, but it's too late

It's just too late

Would you like to try again because .... I think that we could make it this time

Living In The Smell

LIVING IN THE SMELL - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Just another spot on my window 

Just another crack in the pane 

Why can't it be so easy just to say so?

Everybody's looking for somebody to blame

Living in the smell

This life is a living hell

Living in the smell

And you can't run away

Living in the smell

This life sucks and I can tell

Living in the smell

That you like it that way

You take too long to respond to something

You think I'm as weak as the past 

Why does it have to always be all or nothing? 

Everybody's looking for someone to kick some ass

Living in the smell

This life is a living hell

Living in the smell

And you can't run away

Living in the smell

This life sucks and I can tell

Living in the smell

That you like it that way

The road we travel is much too long

We got plenty of time to think it through

You can play the music to your favorite song

But what are you gonna do?

When the entertainment is through?

What are you gonna do?

Where are you?

 Just another spot on my window 

Just another crack in the pane 

Why can't it be so easy just to say so?

Everybody's looking for somebody to blame

Living in the smell

This life is a living hell

Living in the smell

And you can't run away

Living in the smell

This life sucks and I can tell

Living in the smell

That you like it that way

Living in the smell

This life is a living hell

Living in the smell

And you can't run away

Living in the smell

This life sucks and I can tell

Living in the smell

That you like it that way

Jupiter

JUPITER - Written by Carroll Bryant 

There's a place in a far away land where mushrooms grow as tall as trees

That's a place where you'll know who I am and my presence alone 

Will knock you to your knees

And you will beg for my words to reach you

And you will beg for my knowledge to teach you

And you will beg my sun to bake you

And then I will beg you to leave me alone

You take a ride to the edge of the world where earth and space refuse to meet

But that ain't nothing like sex with a girl who mates with all 

Who is in heat

And you will beg for my love to touch you

And you will beg for my heart to love you 

And you will beg for my soul to take you 

And then I will beg you to take me home 

And so with this you wonder where it's gonna lead

Well, I can't say because I don't pray 

I only pay for something that I don't want, and I don't need

So, buckle up and come with me 

And you will beg for my words to reach you

And you will beg for my knowledge to teach you

And you will beg my sun to bake you

And then I will beg you to leave me alone

There's a place in a far away land where nothing grows in the seas

That's a  place where you'll all understand, and it's surrounded daily 

With eternal peace 

And you will beg for my speed to show you

And you will beg for my eyes to know you

And you will beg for my tongue to blow you

And then I will beg you to just go home 

Just go home and leave me alone

I don't like talking to you anymore

Just go home and leave me alone

I don't like talking to you

I think I am through with you

I don't like talking to you anymore 

I Hope You Had Fun

I HOPE YOU HAD FUN - Written by Carroll Bryant

I believed you when you said that you loved me

I trusted you when you said I was the only one

Now I know I should have read between the lines 

You were never really mine at all 

I hope you had fun playing your games

I hope you had fun with me, Lorraine 

I hope you had fun

I hope you had fun

The promises that we made when we were together

Should have been kept to keep us together

You had a change of heart or was it already planned

You broke us apart for nothing and I don't understand

(That's bullshit)

I hope you had fun playing your games

I hope you had fun with me, Lorraine 

I hope you had fun

I hope you had fun

So I guess it's true between me and you

You already had it all figured out

But honey, you're the one who's gonna lose

My smile is proof 

And girl, you know, there is no doubt

I got just as many girls on the side as you do boys

I got just as many dirty thoughts and fancy toys

Let's drink a toast to us

To the jerks we know we both can be 

I believed you when you said that you loved me

I trusted you when you said I was the only one

Now I know I should have read between the lines 

You were never really mine at all

I hope you had fun playing your games

I hope you had fun with me, Lorraine 

I hope you had fun

I hope you had fun

I hope you had fun playing your games

I hope you had fun with me, Lorraine 

I hope you had fun

I hope you had fun

Because now we are done 

Physical Attraction

PHYSICAL ATTRACTION - Written by Carroll Bryant

You girl

You look so lonely

You girl

Think you're the only one with style

Why don't you wear a smile for me?

I will set you free

Wear a smile for me

I will set you free

You girl

You look so broken hearted 

You girl

Haven't even started to live

Why don't you give me chance for your love?

I will set you free

Just give me a chance for your love

I will set you free

 I got a physical attraction for you

So let's play these games once again 

We want satisfaction 

It's true

But I cannot pretend that I'm not falling in love

And it started with this physical attraction

You girl

You look desolated 

You girl

Can't even relate to the pain

Why don't you give me one good try

I will set you free 

Just give me one good try

I will set you free

You girl

Sitting there staring

You girl

Are used to someone always caring for you

Why don't you wear a smile for me

I will set you free

Wear a smile for me

I will set you free

 I got a physical attraction for you

So let's play these games once again 

We want satisfaction 

It's true

But I cannot pretend that I'm not falling in love

And it started with this physical attraction

The city streets 

The empty nights

So soon we meet

So soon we fight

It's never gonna end 

This hunger

It's a sink or swim

And we're going under

It's always gonna start

This hunger

Always to break our hearts 

 I got a physical attraction for you

So let's play these games once again 

We want satisfaction 

It's true

But I cannot pretend that I'm not falling in love

And it started with this physical attraction

One Touch From You

ONE TOUCH FROM YOU - Written by Carroll Bryant

Just one look in your eyes brought feelings from out of my heart

Feelings I never before knew

And as strange as they were I knew deep inside of my heart

Those feelings would evolve into something I would come to depend on from you

Another attraction and total satisfaction

Just sitting here with nothing to do 

I reach out again just to try and touch your skin

Heart to heart I become one with you

No more love and its lies

No more alibis 

No more playing the fool

All it took was one touch from you

No more crying eyes

Breaking down inside 

Not another late night rendezvous

And all it took was just one touch from you

From morning to night I feel the pressure escaping from out of my mind

So I take your hand and lead you to heaven 

And as strange as it sounds and time after time

My whole life lifts as light as a feather 

Another surrender and love warm and tender

Just sitting here and thinking of you

I cry out again this message I send 

Soul to soul a heart that is true 

No more love and its lies

No more alibis 

No more playing the fool

All it took was one touch from you

No more crying eyes

Breaking down inside 

Not another late night rendezvous

And all it took was just one touch from you

Another attraction and total satisfaction

Just sitting here with nothing to do 

I reach out again just to try and touch your skin

Heart to heart I become one with you

 No more love and its lies

No more alibis 

No more playing the fool

All it took was one touch from you

No more crying eyes

Breaking down inside 

Not another late night rendezvous

And all it took was just one touch from you

Midnight

MIDNIGHT - Written by Carroll Bryant 

You think about her when you are away 

She's on your mind every single day 

You don't know which way you should go

You start a fight within yourself

It's a hell of a note

It's a hell of a hell 

You don't know which way you should go 

Everything is fading from sight

You're giving up on the fight 

Don't you think it would be wise to wait until midnight?

Not everything is so black and white

Take it in and suck it up real tight

Don't you think it would be wise to wait until midnight?

Give it a chance

Give it some time

Give it a while and then maybe you'll find 

That you know which way you should go

Think of yourself and forget about pride

Don't try keeping it all locked up inside 

And soon you will come to know which way you should go

Everything is fading from sight

You're giving up on the fight 

Don't you think it would be wise to wait until midnight?

Not everything is so black and white

Take it in and suck it up despite 

Don't you think it would be wise to wait until midnight?

Don't give up on your plans 

You can be your own man 

If you try

You're letting go of your life

You got it in the palm of your hands

You better play your cards right

You can be your own man

If you try

Only if you try

Everything is fading from sight

You're giving up on the fight 

Don't you think it would be wise to wait until midnight?

Not everything is so black and white

Take it in and suck it up real tight 

Don't you think it would be wise to wait until midnight?

Wait until midnight

Wait until midnight

You can decide at midnight

Airport (Flight 481)

AIRPORT (FLIGHT 481) - Written by Carroll Bryant

Can you feel it? 

It feels so strange

Can you see it? 

Life is about to change

The moment is queer

I don't understand

How did I get here?

Where are all of my friends?

Everything is changing

Accept it

Be a man

Everything is in front of you 

Think of all the great things that could happen

Don't bring yourself down

You'll be okay

Take a last look around 

The planes

Waiting at the airport 

Gonna ride the wind

Waiting at the airport

Is this the beginning?

Is this the end?

It's both

"Flight 481 is now boarding at gate 22"

Stranger In Paradise

STRANGER IN PARADISE - Written by Carroll Bryant

Life in the city is hard when you're down 

You reach for a helping hand

No help can be found

You pay the price for living 

That's just the way that it is

It's all take and not forgiving 

Is that the way we should live?

With you I'm able to cope with it all

I see a lot of love within your eyes

A hope

A place of understanding

You make me realize

I'm a stranger in paradise

A stranger in paradise

I'm a stranger in paradise

And baby, that's no lie

So keep me forever in your arms 

Don't ever set me free

Love will keep us safe and warm

Just you wait and see 

Time will come and time may pass

But this is here and now

Feeding off each others need

It's what love is all about 

It's all because of you

Girl, you know this is true

My hope

My chance to surviving

You make me realize

 I'm a stranger in paradise

A stranger in paradise

I'm a stranger in paradise

And baby, that's no lie

No one ever could get to me 

Like you have 

Holding you, kissing you

Listening to your laugh 

The joy of life shines on you and me

So bright and popular is your smile

It's written down for history 

I'm gonna drown in your eyes

I'm always a stranger in paradise

I'm a stranger in paradise

A stranger in paradise

And baby, that's no lie

No, baby, that's no lie

I'm a stranger ...... in paradise

The Unserious Ones

THE UNSERIOUS ONES - Written by Carroll Bryant 

This is not a world for the unserious ones 

This is my world

The united states of confusion 

I would wish a president would give me back my freedoms

Give me back my power 

Here inside my head

I am but a hostage to my government 

Their guns are on my children

For this air, I'm paying rent

I can't believe the sodomy of our politics

Split right down the middle 

For this pain, I can't submit 

Am I going crazy?

Have I gone too far insane?

Believing all the theories of conspiracies 

Playing all of these games

This is not a world for the unserious ones 

This is my world

The united states of confusion 

I would wish a president would give me back my freedoms

Give me back my power 

Here inside my head

Give me back my choices without the compromise or consequence 

Build me up with truth this time

Spare me all your lies 

Just let me smoke my cigarettes in peace and harmony

Quit telling me I'm the victim of my own insecurities 

Am I going crazy?

Have I gone too far insane?

Drowning in the mysteries of our repeated mistakes 

This is not a world for the unserious ones 

This is my world

The united states of confusion 

I would wish a president would give me back my freedoms

Give me back my power 

Here inside my head

I can't believe the scene on my television screen 

Tell me I'm not seeing this

I just can't believe it

Living in these modern times one would think that maybe

We would have had all of this figured out already 

Am I going crazy?

Have I gone too far insane?

Believing all the theories of conspiracies 

Playing all of these games

This is not a world for the unserious ones 

This is my world

The united states of confusion 

I would wish a president would give me back my freedoms

Give me back my power 

Here inside my head

Just give me back my freedoms .... without the compromise and consequence

Goodbye's Aren't What They're Supposed To Be

GOODBYE'S AREN'T WHAT THEY'RE SUPPOSED TO BE

- Written by Carroll Bryant

Our love was so good

It was going to last forever, girl 

You know, I thought that it actually would

But we gave in to give and take 

We had made so many mistakes 

Our love was so easy to break 

Live and learn

That rule sure does apply to us 

Now we know

That it takes a little thing called trust 

Goodbye's aren't what they're supposed to be 

Goodbye's aren't what they're supposed to be 

It's hard to hurt the one you love

Maybe you didn't love them enough 

But still, it hurts way too much 

Leave them laughing when you go 

Hide your heart inside your soul 

Oh, no, it's just a fancy show 

Sometimes 

Things are not what they seem to be 

And it hurts 

When you have to set somebody free

 Goodbye's aren't what they're supposed to be 

Goodbye's aren't what they're supposed to be 

Live and learn

That rule sure does apply to us 

Now we know

That it takes a little thing called trust 

The whole thing was a bust!

 Goodbye's aren't what they're supposed to be 

Goodbye's aren't what they're supposed to be

Sometimes A Fool

SOMETIMES A FOOL - Written by Carroll Bryant 

I found that life can be a scream 

I found that hearts only beat in dreams

I found that love will never ever last 

I found a story has to end 

I found a girl can be a friend 

I found that love only lives in the past

And even after all I've learned 

I still can't help but getting burned 

Sometimes a fool 

Always a beginner 

I found that money pays the rent 

I found a way to save a cent 

I found that girls really like to spend it 

I found that darkness is not a shame 

I found the sun can bring the pain 

I found that being lonely never ended 

And even after all I've learned 

I still can't help but getting burned 

Sometimes a fool 

Always a winner

I found that crying cleans the soul 

I found that coming means you'll go 

I found that diamonds were made for always keeping 

I found that ghosts still do exist 

I found that lovers never really kiss 

I found that women were made for sleeping with 

And even after all I've learned 

I still can't help but getting burned 

Sometimes a fool 

Always a sinner

Sometimes a fool

Always an idiot 

The Second Time Around

THE SECOND TIME AROUND - Written by Carroll Bryant

You tell me that you won't leave, but I know you better than that

If love died, you wouldn't grieve, and baby, that's a matter of fact

Your promises always end up broken

Sex is a token

Words go unspoken

You tell me to trust in you, but I'm more smarter than an alley cat

I can't count on your love

I can't bank on your touch

Maybe you don't realize all that you found

You can't pretend with me anymore the second time around

You tell me that you're sorry, but I see through those beautiful eyes

If tomorrow was forever then you know you would sell me more lies

You're an endangered kind of species

Covered in feces

Nothing goes unpleased

You tell me to watch my mouth, but you're what it's all about

I can't count on your love

I can't bank on your touch 

Maybe you don't realize all that you found 

You can't pretend with me anymore the second time around 

There are no third and final chances for us to try and get it right 

Jump on the back of my Harley Davidson and baby I will take you for the ride 

Of your life

The way you took me on the first time

The way you're trying again this time 

I am onto you and the games you play with my mind 

 You tell me that you won't leave, but I know you better than that

If love died, you wouldn't grieve, and baby, that's a matter of fact

Your promises always end up broken

Sex is a token

Words go unspoken

You tell me to trust in you, but I'm more smarter than an alley cat

I can't count on your love

I can't bank on your touch 

Maybe you don't realize all that you found 

You can't pretend with me anymore the second time around 

Red Society

RED SOCIETY - Written by Carroll Bryant

How can this be?

I thought that we were living in the land of the free?

Why does my flag get me down?

Why am I so afraid of this town?

Evil eyes are searching for me

I got to hide my thoughts in so THEY won't see

It's so hot outside and yet, I freeze

And still can't believe

How can this be?

A prisoner locked up inside the land of the free

(Just for his thoughts in a diary)

Why does my angry heart yearn to burn the flag?

(In a red society)

How can this be?

Evil eyes are searching for me

Locked up inside the land of liberty

Where the only opportunity is "Hide my thoughts in so THEY can't see"

And they can't read my diary

Thank you for locking him away

Thank you for doing this you communist son of a bitch

Thank you for destroying everything I believed

And everything that so many fought for and died

To be free

They sacrificed and gave their lives  .... and you .....

You come along and piss on their graves

And throw freedom away

You throw it all away

"On Wednesday, July 4th, 2001, on all days for this to happen, I read in the Columbus Dispatch that a mans journal, (a mans thoughts) was ruled obscene. The man in question received ten years in prison for what he wrote inside his journal. A story. Something that was make believe."

VELCOME TO AMERIKA

KNOWN AS THE U.S.S.A.

YOUR PASSPORT, PLEASE

And suddenly, red society

And then he came along and threw freedom away

He threw it all away

"Communism has a new name ........... O'Brienism"

As in Columbus, Ohio - Franklin County prosecutor Ron O'Brien

One Shinning Moment

ONE SHINNING MOMENT - Written by Carroll Bryant 

For once in your life you go for it all

Give it some gusto or prepare for the fall 

You pick yourself up as you look all around 

None of your reasons for quitting can be found 

In one shinning moment your heart feels so free

One shinning moment that shines on you and me 

You will fly high as your dreams touch the sky 

Then one shinning moment suddenly arrives 

Unlike a few, I follow my dreams 

I travel the road no matter how hard it seems 

My time will come and I know in my heart 

The end only nears when it all comes apart 

But in one shinning moment I will be free 

One shinning moment that won't let me be 

I will fly high as my dreams touch the sky

Then one shinning moment suddenly arrives 

There will be heavy chains weighing you down

Don't let the empty days throw you around 

There could be prosperity if only you would try and see

That what you do requires you - to believe

For once in your life you go for it all

Give it some gusto or prepare for the fall 

You pick yourself up as you look all around 

None of your reasons for quitting can be found 

In one shinning moment your heart feels so free

One shinning moment that shines on you and me 

You will fly high as your dreams touch the sky 

Then one shinning moment suddenly arrives

You can do it if you try

Satan Station

SATAN STATION - Written by Carroll Bryant 

"There is so much evil here. Sometimes it's peaceful inside. And the conversation is light as the moon shines so bright, and then fog sweeps in and takes it all away. Takes it all away."

It's midnight and the party is a scream 

Call it what you like, a nightmare or a dream 

But you cannot admit that soon you will be here too 

Lying awake in your grave underneath a full moon

You'll be riding a train all the way 

Riding a train to Satan station 

You will not escape and your God will be too late 

You'll be riding a train to Satan station

All aboard 

The fear inside your mind is the only comfort you will find 

As the torture here is more than you can withstand 

You will only be a fool if you think you have the tool 

By walking around with a bible in your hand

 You'll be riding a train all the way 

Riding a train to Satan station 

You will not escape and your God will be too late 

You'll be riding a train to Satan station

All the way 

You will be a ghost at night running from the light 

In the darkness you will creep with just your empty eyes 

You will lose all self control as demons rape your soul 

Praise Lucifer and all his lifeless lies 

You'll be riding a train all the way 

Riding a train to Satan station 

You will not escape and your God will be too late 

You'll be riding a train to Satan station

All aboard

No Comment

NO COMMENT - Written by Carroll Bryant 

Get that microphone away from me 

I don't really want to speak 

Can't you let your questions be?

For you to know is not a need

Can't you see it in my eyes

That I don't want to talk about it

So who cares if I'm that way?

It's not your business I say 

You're on my case both night and day 

You're not accomplishing a thing 

You know it comes as no surprise

That I don't want to talk about it

Can't you see it in my eyes

That I don't want to talk about it 

Look, I got no comment 

You make me want to vomit 

Stop asking me these questions

Why don't you listen to my suggestion?

And beat it 

Your slick tricks will go in vain 

Your loose lips need to be slain 

Gossip this and gossip games

I just want you to go away 

When will you realize

That I don't want to talk about it

Can't you see it in my eyes

That I don't want to talk about it 

Look, I got no comment

You make me want to vomit 

Stop asking me these questions

Why don't you listen to my suggestion?

And get out of here

Get that microphone away from me 

I don't really want to speak 

Can't you let your questions be?

For you to know is not a need

Can't you see it in my eyes

That I don't want to talk about it

Can't you even visualize 

That I don't want to talk about it

Beat it
