Jill is 17 and living life perfectly fine
She gets all A's and loves her school
Volunteers at the Senior Center to stay in her spare time
In gym she laughs as over her body the boys drool
Hide your secret hide it well
Listen to the voices in your head
Is it a mistake today..... god only knows time will tell
Gotta stay thin gotta be a beauty.... this is what she has been fed
Jill lives a perfect life
All the girls envy her
The boys dream of her as their wife
And at home she cries just till the end of this school year
What's going on behind that closed door
Dearest Jill it's only a few extra pounds
But she doesn't even think about it anymore
Those voices in her head are nothing but sounds
Prom time and out on her date
Excuses herself after a salad
To the bathroom before it's too late
Looks in the mirror doesn't see she is so sad
Hide your secret hide it well
Listen to the voices in your head
Have to be the ballroom belle
Need your obsession to be fed
Graduation was mighty lonely mighty sad
Seems Jill listened to the voices in her head
She just didn't realize it's what's inside...... too bad
With therapy perhaps she'll be ok, just has to stop listening to those voices in her head

He was born into high society
Never knew a want, never knew a care
Knew how to have fun as he became the life of the party
He had jumped onto a train that was headed nowhere
Learned to play music and joined the band
Was the joker yet deep down a serious man
Band grew in fame
As he worked harder to cover his shame
On stage and under the light
Something just snapped that night
Noone knew what started the fight
But they all knew it was a nowhere flight
Fired and disenchanted he turned deeper inside
The parties for him grew less and less fun
Met a girl and in a drunken daze took her as his bride
Joined a new band when they had their son
A regain in fame
Onstage girls screaming his name
Hotel rooms filled with empty minds and blank faces
He realized he didn't want to be in those places
Kicked his demons and started to better his life
Worked on getting to know his son and truly love his wife
Visit to the doctor changed all that
Seems mitakes came back from his past
Maybe it was a shared needle..... or one of those many nights
Went home and had to tell the wife
Led to heartache and so many fights
He fought the guilt of ruining anothers life
They say he wrote a letter before the end
But he died thinking he didn't have a friend
They found his body in the bottom of his pool
And all the note said was, "I was such a fool"
============================================================
She sits alone
thinking of the love that has gone away
she should have known
A love doesn't last when there's nothing left to say
He drives down the road again he's all alone
Thinking where it all went wrong
why he couldn't stay
But it had to end for the truth was shown
And when there's no trust there's nothing left to say
Yes, love is beautiful when ya share
And the world is so much better when there's someone there to care
Yes, Love is wonderful when the trust is there
But when the trust dies and the world won't hear your heart's cries all ya see is loneliness everywhere
They tried to live the lie of the heart
They couldn't see they just were hurting one another
They didn't realize living a lie drove them further apart
They didn't want to be alone but knew deep down they coulldn't stay
together
Living the lies of love
Trying to hold together something that isn't there
Trying so hard to keep the heart tough
But then ya realize the heart has gone sour and there's nothing left
there
=====================================================
Remember when we were innocent
The love our hearts knew
No sins to repent
And all we felt was so real and so new
Can you remember those days when we saw our favourite KINK
And the music filled our soul and touched our heart
Ray's lyrics so deep and made ya think
And Dave never missing a lick played so energetic from the very start
Will your heart open up long enough to look back
When life was so pure and free
And for love none of us ever felt a lack
And the days seemed made for you and me
But then it all seemed to fall apart just as you grasped that last ring
Greed took over and the heart lost its way
And all you could hear was the money sing
God why couldn't the innocence stay
Now on a building ledge you stand waiting to jump
Your soul so infested with wanting new toys
And you know your wife is out on another drunk
Spending her days with a bottle and one of her newest boys
That boss you loved so dearly took all the money
Left you out in the cold
He's down on an Island with some sexy honey
And you realize your spirit you sold
I beg of your dear friend
On all that we once shared
That this is the beginning not the end
For you my friend I have always cared
Find your way to the past
Pick up those pieces of your heart
And in those shatters you'll see what matters is my love for you shall always last
And dear friend remember those innocent days and perhaps you can make a new start
Don't tell me your love is dead
For even in nature the cycle of life in full of rebirth
Don't tell me there's nothing to live for cause everything's already said
Cause life would never be the same without you on my Earth
So give me your hand
Whenever you fall down into the dirt
Together we'll take that stand
And when the end does come you can say you fought and lived through all of life's little hurt
============================================================

My response is, "I like to put forks in an eletrical socket, just LOVE that feeling, can't ever get enough of it, so will you let me put this copper fork in that electric socket?"
