GROOVE THRU THE FLOOR
Words & Music by Arlin Godwin / 1994
Here in my dark room,
I feel the spirits call,
The candles flicker dimly and I crawl,
Upside, Down the wall,
I hear the wolves,
They howl baby and,
Midnight's drawing near,
So, Come on, Come on,
Okay,
Let's wear a groove thru the floor,
You know what I'm saying,
Come on,
Okay,
Let's wear a groove thru the floor,
Here in my dark room,
Behind the dungeon door,
I feel the spirit lift me and I float,
Sideways above the floor,
I got the Devil in my blood and I would,
Dance with you if you,
Said I could - so,
Come on,
Come on,
Okay,
Let's wear a groove thru the floor,
You know what I'm saying,
Come on,
Okay?
Let's wear a groove thru the floor,
Don't stop dancing - don't stop!
If you don't stop that pacing,
You'll wear a groove thru the floor,
Dance!
Wear a groove thru the floor...

DIM ALL THE LIGHTS
Words & Music by Arlin Godwin / 2001
Dim all the lights and take me home,
Where you and I can be alone,
To do all the things,
No one gets to see,
Gets to see...
Baby this is so good,
Baby this is so damn good,
Baby this is so good,
Baby this is so god damned good,
Pour me a drink,
Unplug the phone,
You never have to be alone,
'cause I'm into you,
You're into me,
Let's get stoned,
Float away on our desire,
Feel the beat,
Turn up the fire,
Baby make me lose,
All control,
All control,
You make me lose,
All control,
Baby this is so good,
Baby this is so damn good,
Baby this is so good,
Baby this is so god damned good,
Dim all the lights and take me home,
Where you and I can be alone,
To do all the things,
No one gets to see...

BOY SEVENTEEN
Words & Music by Arlin Godwin / 2001
(These are the lyrics to the original version)
Boy number one,
Was incredibly fun,
And number two?
Well, he reminded me a whole lot of you,
Boy number three,
Was meaner than mean,
It doesn't matter,
I'm in love with boy seventeen,
It doesn't matter,
it doesn't matter...I'm in love,
Boy number four,
Was a ten dollar whore,
And number five?
Well, I'm afraid he's wanted dead or alive,
Boy number six,
Was in a porn magazine,
It doesn't matter,
I'm in love with boy seventeen,
It doesn't matter,
It doesn't matter...I'm in love,

TERRIBLE THINGS DONE
Words & Music by Arlin Godwin 1999
(This song was recorded the day Columbine happened
while I watched it all unfold on tv)
Tiny little tear drops
Terrible things done
Tiny little tear drops
Terrible things done
Where you going now boy?
Far away
Where you going now boy?
Run away

THE SECRET LIFE OF BOYS
Words & Music by Arlin Godwin / 2001
(These are the lyrics to the original version)
Lower the cables Johnny,
Why can't I tell you,
About the secret life of boys?
Why can't I tell you,
About what goes on,
Behind closed doors?
I'm afraid once I get started,
I might not be able to stop myself,
Why can't I tell you,
About the secret life of boys?
Why can't I tell you,
About my own private joy?
I'm afraid once I get started,
I might not be able to stop myself,
Lower the cables Johnny.

GOD DAMN YOU'RE BEAUTIFUL
Words & Music by Arlin Godwin / 2001
You look like someone,
I used to sleep with,
I look like someone,
You used to french kiss,
You are so perfect,
Let no violence ever change,
God damn you're beautiful,
God damn you're beautiful,
God damn you're beautiful,
I wanna do ya,
All night long - yeah,
You look like someone,
I used to talk to,
I look like someone,
You could get used to,
You are so perfect,
Let no violence ever change,
God damn you're beautiful,
God damn you're beautiful,
God damn you're beautiful,
I wanna do ya,
All night long - yeah.

WOUND UP DEAD
Words & Music by Arlin Godwin 1997
He took me to his house in Beverly Hills
'cause that the place he always goes
When he kills
He told me to undress and get in bed
But that's the place his last lover
Wound up dead
He whispered in my ear "I'm not your friend"
"And you better get ready"
"'cause this is the end"
"Oh God it hurts" were the last words I said
And then this little Blue Boy
Wound up dead

I'LL COME FIND YOU
Words & Music by Arlin Godwin 1998
If you find yourself
Lost in some cold April snow
You could call me up
And see if I would come rescue you
I'll
Come
Find you
I'll come and find you baby
I'll
Take
Take you home
If my viscous words
Send you to your sick bed
I will call you up
And you'll forgive
All the things I said
I'll
Come
Find you
I'll come and find you baby
I'll
Take
Take you home

LOVE IS A VIOLENT CRIME
Words & Music by Arlin Godwin / 1994
Baby baby,
Who's gonna think of nice things to say,
When I'm down?
And baby baby,
Who's gonna wipe my tears away,
When I'm blue?
When you're gone,
I feel so empty,
When you're gone,
I feel so cold,
Ooh, Nevermind,
Nevermind baby,
Looks like we're out of time,
Ooh, Nevermind,
Madmen and fools find out the hard way,
Love is a violent crime,
Baby baby,
Left all alone what will I do,
Without you?
Baby baby,
Nothing to do,
But face the truth,
Here without you,
When you're gone,
I feel so empty,
When you're gone,
I feel so cold,
Ooh, Nevermind,
Nevermind baby,
Looks like we're out of time,
Ooh, Nevermind,
Madmen and fools find out the hard way,
Love is a violent crime,
Yes, it is...

BEAUTIFUL
Words & Music by Arlin Godwin / 1997
She got the caviar,
She got the limousine,
She got the finest ass,
You ever seen,
She got the penthouse suite,
On the 19th floor,
She'll steal your heart,
Come back for more,
She'll tell you lies,
She'll compromise you,
'til you realize,
That you're a goner,
(You're a goner baby)
You know she's not the kinda girl,
You're gonna wanna take home,
To your momma,
Uh-uh-uh,
She got silky hair,
She got eyes so blue,
She got ruby lips,
Kissin' up to you,
She got the sexy walk,
Got the longest legs,
Don't wanna hear you talk,
She wants to hear you beg,
She'll tell you lies,
She'll compromise you,
'til you realize,
That you're a goner,
(You're a goner baby)
You know she's not the kinda girl,
You're gonna wanna take home,
To your momma,
Uh-uh-uh,
Beautiful!
Oh, yes baby,
Just like that,
Here we go,
Play that funky music baby,
Yeah, play that funky shit,
Play that funky music baby,
I'm gettin' off on it,
You're a beautiful woman,
Yes you are,
Beautiful,
You are so sexy,
Beautiful, Mon cheri,
