LYRICS LIVE AT RAMS HEAD ON STAGE 2002

ARROW

The stillness of the night inquires

to fill my every hearts desire

my thoughts upon the ripples play

in turbid harmony

No need to grant my every wish

I'd settle for a languid kiss

upon my soul, to still my heart

that beats so anxiously

The breeze whispers temptations

only I can hear

the crashing waves, they come and go

revealing every fear

They are duly noted and then

put back in their place

upon the line of fire

which every day I face

Silent arrows

take away my breath

the blood comes forth so quickly

and leads me to my death

Silent arrows

take away my breath

the blood comes so quickly

and leads me to my death

The fates may be wicked

but soften still in time

leaving me a pillow

to lay my weary mind

Cupid, draw back your bow

and let your arrow flow

Cupid, please hear my cry

and let your arrow fly

Words & Music by Meg Murray

RISE UP

Am I your siren?

Shall my spell be kind?

To guide your gentle spirit

to the side where heroes dare to tread

Can you take it or are you a cad

Do you understand the power

that you've has all along?

I will try to help you if I can only your fears

will cause you harm

Ooo rise up, rise up

love is everything

Ooo rise up, rise up

love is everything

Speak fair to me

and I shall give it to you

Be true to me and I will bring it for you

the flesh and the future

Boy accept the fruit to feed you,

you are hungry

Ooo rise up, rise up

love is everything

Tell me now rise up, rise up

love is everything

Am I your siren?

Shall my spell be kind?

To guide your gentle spirit

to the side where heroes dare tread

Can you take it?

Are you a boy or a man?

Tell me know rise up, rise up

love is everything

Ooo rise up, rise up

love is everything

Words & Music by Meg Murray

BE STRAIGHT

I've never been the type

to get mad or uptight

when I see you talking to a girl

But that look that you gave across

the room was just too smooth

and I know soon

that you'll start cancelling our dates

So I'm telling you

Don't tell me lies

Don't waste my time

Things between us best stay straight

If she's stuck on your mind

I've said it now a thousand times

Baby you can go but just be straight

You see we had a deal

We said we'd both be real

And let each other know when things got old

You know I trust you babe

but I can't help the way I feel

and something's wrong

and no this just can't wait

I'm telling you

Don't tell me lies

Don't waste my time

Things between us best stay straight

If she's stuck on your mind

I've said it now a thousand times

Baby you can go but just be straight

If it's between her and me

She'll find easily

that she'll win

cause baby you're not all that

I'll find someone

who won't run

and is good to me

so you can take that and stick it in your hat

(you'll be wising things were different..)

I'm telling you
Don't tell me lies
Don't waste my time
Things between us best stay straight
If she's stuck on your mind
I've said it now a thousand times
Baby you can go but just be straight

If she's stuck on your mind
I've said it now a thousand times
Baby you can go but just be straight

Words by Meg Murray / Music by Meg Murray, Tod Walcsmut & Robert Cadence

I FALL

Snakebit

The pain spreads slowly

poisoning each part of me slowly

All this time I took to find peace of mind

I'd lost or never had

Ooooo

I don't believe anymore

so much I have you'd think it'd fill the hole in my heart

that he left so gapingly

big enough to swallow me and all my dreams

Is this some kind of a joke

is there really someone

behind all that smoke?

I fall

for the poor little boy

I fall prey to my hopes

Seeking him I see my face then a wall

and time and time again

I fall

Words & Music by Meg Murray

THE WORDS

You said you called to say hello

that I'd been on your mind

Just checkin' in to stay in touch

You're desperate to be kind

But you can't find the words

to say i love you

and you can't find the words

to say goodbye

and you can't find the words

to say I need you

and I won't find the time to cry

You'd had enough

you thought me mad

you wanted to be friends

But all the time

I knew your lies

would bring us to an end

But you can't find the words
to say i love you
and I can't find the words
to say goodbye
and you can't find the words
to say I need you
and I won't find the time

to cry every night I lay
awake in bed
and miss your head
against my heart
that beats for you
just wishing you would say
that you can't deny that you'd
rather die
than admit your love for me
it seems funny how
as time goes by
things are just as they should be

And I can't find the words
to say I love you
and you can't find the words
to say goodbye
and I can't find the words
to say I miss you
and I won't find the time to cry

Words by Meg Murray / Music by Meg Murray, Tod Walcsmut & Robert Cadence

ELIZA

Dark to the night

waiting in fear

losing her mind

always waiting

never anticipating

for the moment

to arrive

How will she do it

get out of this one

the mountain is starting to swell

the doubts and the lies

the friends and the ties

that keep her from falling in

She'll never make it

they're dragging her under

they prop her up until she thinks she's straight

Her mystery's enhanced

she is the belle of the dance

but all she can do is complain

Eliza

Open

Never taking time

to figure out whats' wrong

only set on what is right

Cursed by her beauty

haunted by her duty

she cannot sleep at night

How will she do it

get out of this one

all the lies are starting to jell

the doubts and the lies

the friends and the ties

that keep that girl from fallin' in

She'll never make it

they're draggin' her under

they prop her up until she thinks she's straight

She had her chance but now it's all circumstance

Oh oh oh the pain

Eliza

Oh whoa

She'll never make it
they're draggin' her under
they prop her up until she thinks she's straight
She had her chance but now it's all circumstance
Oh oh oh the pain
Eliza

Oh whoa

She'll never make it
they're draggin' her under
they prop her up until she thinks she's straight
She had her chance but now it's all circumstance
Oh oh oh the pain
Oh oh oh the pain

Eliza
Oh whoa

open

Words and Music by Meg Murray

A LOVERS LAMENT

I love you and

you love me

so I am not quite sure

why we both keep feigning misery

We should be holding hands

and shooting stars

and singing love songs cross crowded rooms

and playing guitars

And it's high time

that we weren't so scared of it

and it's a fine time

for us to dance a little bit

And it's a good time

for us to give up this charade

cause we ain't gonna find love

like the love we made

Well that sparkle in your smile

is the truest thing I know

and that cross-eyed goof that you throw my way

makes me feel I'm at home

And the love in your eyes

is the realest thing I've seen

So come down from your cloud

and take a walk around

this life with me

And it's high time
that we weren't so scared of it
and it's a fine time
for us to dance a little bit
And it's a good time
for us to give up this charade
cause we ain't gonna find love
like the love we made

Do as you do

Be who you are

I don't want no chains

to tie me down

I wanna laugh with you every day

that's such a beautiful sound

when we're holding hands

and shooting stars

and singing love songs across crowded rooms

on each others guitars

It's a high time

and it's a fine time

and it's a good time

for us to give up this charade

cause we gotta make time

for the love we made

Words and Music by Meg Murray

DIE SLOWLY

I hear the phone ring

and I let it

They just don't get it

I'm here alone

inside my brain

And I'm high again

I don't want to try again

You give and they take

You let your heart ache

It's not the thrills that keep me on this ride

I wanna die slowly

Shivers run down my spine

it's getting harder to act all the time

But a spade is still a spade

and I ain't changed

It's not the spills that make me want to cry

I wanna die slowly

I want to die slowly

I want to run through fields

and breathe the night air

but this castle's so high

and all I really want to do is

fly

It's not the thrills

that keep me on this ride

It's not the spills

that make me want to cry

so it's the way he looks at me

I wanna die slowly

This is not a dark ride
