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
