JOY (original version)
Words & Music by Arlin Godwin / 1995
The sun,
Pales beside the beauty of your face,
The moon,
Can't reflect the perfect isolation,
That I feel,
When I'm alone with you,
Joy!
When I'm with you,
You bring me joy,
I can't stop spinning,
Joy!
When I'm with you,
Can't stop spinning,
You could be the ruler of a nation,
Like a god upon a throne,
And I would stay with you,
And love you dear forever,
In your palace made of bronze and stone,
When I was invisible,
Still in my mother's womb,
(I could feel you)
Every single day,
(And now)
All along the way,
In the street,
To the city,
On a mountan or a hill,
In the sky,
Above the ocean,
I can feel my sweet love's devotion,
You bring me life...light and... CHORUS Joy!
When I'm with you,
You bring me joy,
I can't stop spinning, Joy!
When I'm with you,
I can't stop spinning, Joy.

LITTLE SISTER
Words & Music by Arlin Godwin / 1993
I'm doing time,
In this world,
That I am trapped in,
I count the days,
'til I go home,
Wherever that is,
Take me back to my mother,
Take me back to my father,
Little sister,
Won't you hold me close,
And let me dream of blue skies,
Over fields of green,
Where we played as children,
In the summer sun,
I won't forgive you,
If you don't forgive me,
And forget the things we said,
Under the screaming tree,
I'm growing old,
Much too old,
To be forgiven
I'm growing tired,
Of this skin,
That I was born in,
Take me back to my mother,
Take me back to my father,
Little sister,
Won't you hold me close,
And let me dream of blue skies,
Over fields of green,
Where we played as children,
In the summer sun,
I won't forgive you,
If you don't forgive me,
And forget the things we said,
Under the screaming tree,
Little sister, little sister, little sister...
I won't forgive you,
If you don't forgive me,
And forget the things we said,
Under the screaming tree,
Little sister,
Just remember.

BODY OF MY LOVER
Words & Music by Arlin Godwin / 2000
I am,
Moving slowly,
Around me,
Everything is cool,
You are,
Getting clearer,
I can,
Hear your secret code,
Dying to discover,
Body of my lover,
Morning,
Glory climber,
Winding,
My way back to you,
Starlight,
Snow white roses,
Take me,
Where angels fear to tread,
Dying to discover,
Body of my lover,
Sweet thing,
Always smiling,
Open up and let me in,
I reach,
To your limits,
Kissing crimson cherry red,
Dying to discover,
Body of my lover...

OBSCENE
Words & Music by Arlin Godwin / 1999
You know my secret,
Don't you love?
You know my secret,
Don't you love?
You found out the hard way...
Whatever you want,
Whatever you need,
'cause God made us all obscene,
God made us all obscene...

MADNESS
Words & Music by Arlin Godwin / 1994
Somebody looking through my window,
Wants to come inside,
And ruin what remains of my mind,
But not my soul,
And treat me like a slave,
Like a spoiled child,
Except that I'm not,
I'm a man,
And I don't like bad jokes,
I know the world is a cruel place,
But this is madness,
And I'm in it,
Somebody's baby's on the doorstep and the bell is ringing,
Playing 'Dixie' backwards while the whole damn world goes to war,
I live and breathe among the poor among the ragged and the homeless,
I just forget what for,
People say we live like this because we want to,
It's okay to talk that way because it's not true,
Somebody hanging in the shadows,
Wants to tie me up and torture what remains of my heart,
But not my soul,
And treat me like a dog,
Like a black cat,
Except that I'm not,
I'm a man,
And I don't have nine lives,
I know the world is a cruel place,
But this is madness,
And I'm in it,
Somebody's baby's on the doorstep and the bell is ringing,
Playing 'Dixie' backwards while the whole damn world goes to war,
I live and breathe among the poor among the ragged and the homeless,
I just forget what for,
People say we live like this because we want to,
It's okay to talk that way because it's not true,
Well, well, well...love.

MUSIC FOR ORGASM
Words & Music by Arlin Godwin / 1994
You're a sh**, You're a sh**...
Can you hear me?
Music for orgasm...how nasty,
You're such a dirty boy,
But you bring me so much joy,
When you're standing there,
In your underwear,
Be in touch my love,
Be in touch my love...
The Senator doesn't seem to be answering,
Pick up the phone god damn it!
Music for orgasm,
Music for orgasm...

LET IT RAIN
Words & Music by Arlin Godwin / 1998
(You're old enough)
Let it rain,
Whatever floats your boat,
Baby I don't care,
(You're old enough)
Just let it rain,
Damn you look so good,
Just standing there,
Let it rain,
Underneath the bridge,
We'll make love tonight,
Just let it rain,
Come on pretty baby,
Let me hold you tight,
(You're old enough)
Just let it rain,
Just - just let it rain,
Just let it rain,
Rain,
Take it on off,
Say baby I need you,
Said baby I need you,
Just take me onboard,
Ready?
I need you,
Just say no more,
Hey, baby I need you.

Joy,
You bring me joy,
Can't stop spinning,
You bring me... Joy.
