I Really Want 2 B w U by Shanta Paloma If we could be Adam & Eve With nothing to lose Never lonely, together On an island with you If we could go at it and speak With our bodies and our moves All the things I want to say But you’re leaving in a day or two! Aaaah~ are you holding back? Aaaah ~ the heart of the matter As a matter of fact I’d wait for you forever If you feel this way, too Could we step out together? I really want to be with you. When I left your house I saw a key on the ground I didn’t know what door it opened But I knew what I had found Unlock the secrets of the 7 and the 3 These numbers give me messages What do all the signs mean? I hear your name, I feel your sound Why does it seem like you’re all around? You’re a part of me You’re a piece of my brain now Unbridled conversations Fall out between the kiss It’s all or nothing now because of how intense it is. Aaaah ~ are you holding back? Aaaah ~ the heart of the matter As a matter of fact I’d wait for you forever If you feel this way too Could we step out together? I really want to be with you. And one more thing There’s no way you could lose If you don’t want me, I’m still grateful to have loved you Everything I’ve learned to feel closer to your soul Has made me who I am, today. Can’t you see how much I’ve grown? Aaaah ~ are you holding back? Aaaah ~ the heart of the matter As a matter of fact I’d wait for you forever If you feel this way too Could we step out together? I really want to be with you. I would be your lady, Honest and true Could we step out together? I really want to be with you Tell me, can I be with you?

Love On The Outside By Shanta Paloma I’m on the darkside I’m on the outside I want to get inside your heart I want to know you I want to show you I’m on the other side of the wall What’s real will always be And this is just eternity Close your eyes I know that you know it. Trust in you, now trust in me Go, and love me secretly Feel this moment We don’t have to show it Love on the outside, looking in Meet me on the far side You’re understanding right A straightened arrow to the heart Keep your light in Don’t you let it dim Beauty can give a brand new start What’s real will always be And this is just eternity Close your eyes I know that you know it. Trust in you, now trust in me Go, and love me secretly Feel this moment We don’t have to show it Love on the outside, looking in Love on the outside, there’s no way that we could win (x2) What’s real will always be This is just eternity Close your eyes I know that you know it. Trust in you, now trust in me Go, and love me secretly Feel this moment We don’t have to show it Love on the outside, looking in Love on the outside, there’s no way that we could win (x2) Love on the outside, looking in Love on the outside...

Lost & Discovered by Shanta Paloma I wait until he calls my name I am sure my wait is in vain I am, I am in pain And I’d just recovered I guess I was hoping we’d become lost Lost & discovered, lost & discovered, lost & discovered Keep my head down And look ahead I am sure He waits for me But in my bed. I thought I had awoken. I guess I was hoping, we’d become lost Lost & discovered, lost & discovered, lost & discovered. I swam the river I went out on the highest of limbs I stood up naked And I jumped right in Baby, put down your bottle of tears. Baby, control your fucking fears. Je veux ton amour parce que tu m'as toujours compris. Vous avez vu si profondément dans mon âme et vous pourriez voir ce que personne d'autre ne pourrait. Et je sais que c'est pareil pour toi. Je te vois. Claim me lover, Don’t play my moods. I am yours Losing myself to you. I thought I had awoken I guess I was hoping We’d become lost Lost & discovered, lost & discovered, lost & discovered.

Original Sin By Shanta Paloma Trying to drive and the sun is blinding Got to go ‘cause I’m in it to win Maybe I should leave you, I will tell you next time. Let’s get together Make Original Sin One hand on the wheel One out in the rain I’m not sure what the deal is But I can’t complain After all, the sun is shining Road is hard in my little blue car Gotta go, got to get it in Maybe I should stay, I will tell you next time. Let’s get together Make original sin One hand on the wheel One out in the rain I’m not sure what the deal is But I can’t complain I don’t feel like arriving But I can’t stay I keep on driving Going insane Every corner I come around I feel love and like I’m gonna drown Every sign tells me to wait You’re coming for me But this hope It’s killing me Come and get me or set me free, baby You’re dragging me down Take it back to where it all happened Rewrite the scene that we’re playing in Maybe we are here, maybe never really anywhere. Let’s get together make original sin One hand on the wheel One out in the rain Not sure what the deal is But I can’t complain I don’t feel like arriving But I can’t stay I keep on driving Going insane

Fantasy Fling By Shanta Paloma Dream girl A fantasy, a mystery Her sex appeal is out of this world. She’s a dream girl She wants to be the kind you keep But perfection is ephemeral And something about her is untouchable. She’s one of a kind, A pearl, a diamond “If you were mine, seductive siren Your beauty would fade like a dream in the morning Keep you away, I’m giving you warning.” Like a Monet painting, if you come too close Love you forever, leave you forever, perfect rose Dream girl A fantasy, a mystery Her sex appeal is out of this world. She’s a dream girl She wants to be the kind you keep But perfection is ephemeral Something about her is untouchable. She says the right things In the right way Does the right things, the way she sashays She’s a zephyrous mist A Sin City tryst A sexual bliss, perfect passionate kiss Shadows fall on her in all the right places Nobody knows what’s behind her face Is she broken inside An angel on land? Behind her eyes, no one understands! Everybody needs just a little escape Something to get them through the mundane (x2) Dream girl A fantasy, a mystery Her sex appeal is out of this world. She’s a dream girl She wants to be the kind you keep But perfection is ephemeral And something about her is untouchable.

Love/Hate By Shanta Paloma When I love you I’m just thinking about If the tables were turned… ...and how much I hate you. I come after you I’m already caught up in your game Now I’m the one to blame Si tu fuis, il suit Si tu suis, il enfui encore I want you, La belle vie One of us keeps running through the door Seems to me we continue to be Jumping high, hitting the floor C’est tant pis, ma chérie I can’t decide if I love or hate you more. Happy or sad No longer have any meaning The lines you pull are intoxicating Too much to control Pick up your understandings And not so much your amo Si tu fuis, il suit Si tu suis, il enfui encore I want you, La belle vie One of us keeps running through the door Seems to me we continue to be Jumping high, hitting the floor C’est tant pis, ma chérie I can’t decide if I love or hate you more. Vent to the world about your affliction It’s got nothing to do with all of your obsessions Maybe we lost it, maybe it was never there I came to you in your despair ‘cause I care. I’m your madonna and I’m your whore And I’m not sure that I want to be just one of them, anymore. My Other, He’s the road not taken A Tolkien poem, A diptych, separated I am the wander He is the burning hand So we drew our lines in the sand. He went one way. I went the other That’s why we love and hate each other Si tu fuis, il suit Si tu suis, il enfui encore I want you, La belle vie One of us keeps running through the door Seems to me we continue to be Jumping high, hitting the floor C’est tant pis, ma chérie I can’t decide if I love or hate you more. (key change) Si tu fuis, il suit Si tu suis, il enfui encore I want you, La belle vie One of us keeps running through the door Seems to me we continue to be Jumping high, hitting the floor C’est tant pis, ma chérie I can’t decide if I love or hate you more.

White Turns To Grey by Shanta Paloma I know that you have to lose me If we’re going to push on through The thing that’s hard to forgive Is now I have to lose you, too You said you would never forget The first time we kissed, The first time we met. Said, “All I can see is you, Go chase your heart, I’ll be true!” You said I would die for you Said I’d never lie to you I fought myself every day You always had perfect words But something about ‘em hurt. Everything white turns to grey. You’ve been very deceiving I deceived you first I think I gave you excuses I knew you’d hurt me worse, Woah! Sweetness came out of every pore So I didn’t see the liar No, I didn’t see the whore It’s like tipping a boat. I’m trying to run, but I’m going too slow. You said, “I would die for you!” Said, “I’d never lie to you!” I fought myself every day. You always had perfect words But something about them hurt. Everything white turns to grey! I’ve got the shivers and the shakes I can’t believe a word you say I guess I called it in the first place I turn upside down when I see your face! You said “I would die for you!” Said, “I’d never lie to you!” I fought myself every day~ You always had perfect words Something about them hurt Everything white turns to grey. (x2) I know that you have to lose me I have to lose you, too.

Too Much by Shanta Paloma I drink too much I smoke too much I think too much I don’t enough Too many worries A lot on my mind Too much to lose And I’m wasting my precious time. Too many questions Too much desire I’m blowing too much wind And burning too much fire. I sleep too much I stay up way too late I don’t get enough Damn, I’ve wasted another day Too many hurries And not enough time I’m trying to be strong, man I’m trying to be kind. Everything matters So many lessons Running way too fast into too many directions Devour Overrun Overflow Overkill Overload Overboard Overtaken Overdose on everything. Understandings Undercover It’s no use I shouldn’t bother Overzealous Overanxious Overanalyze it senseless. I give too much And I eat too much food I’m spending too much money I get in too many damn moods I’m going with intensity I’m open to so many things To all that’s beautiful and the beast she brings Too many bleeding hearts Too many sleeves they’re on Trying too hard Fighting for way too long Devour Overrun Overflow Overkill Overload Overboard Overtaken Overdose on everything. Understandings Undercover It’s no use I shouldn’t bother Overzealous Overanxious Overanalyze it senseless. Overrun Overflow Overkill Overload Overboard Overtaken Overdose on everything. Understandings Undercover It’s no use I shouldn’t bother Overzealous Overanxious Overanalyze it senseless. Devour Let it go, let it go

Just Friends by Shanta Paloma She waits for him The beast inside forgets to remember She’s one of a kind. Just friends so she’ll never leave Opened her heart and started to sing She waits for him, He doesn’t know That her wait has been as old as her soul Just friends so he’ll never leave Opened her up and started to sing He made his bed She locked him out He built a wall She knocked it right down They never realized when it occurred Now they wait, never saying a word Take me softly into your bed You’re on my mind, you’re in my head I can’t wait to see you today I’m not ready, I hesitate. She waits for him, He never shows The fear is blinding He can’t see the road Just Friends He made his bed She locked him out He built a wall She knocked it right down They never realized when it occurred Now they wait, never saying a word Take me softly into your bed You’re on my mind, you’re in my head I can’t wait to see you today I’m not ready, I hesitate. Don’t break my heart. I hope that you don’t break my heart. (x2)

The Ballad of Will & Neptune 05:11

The Ballad of Will & Neptune by Shanta Paloma Maybe they lived too colorfully Running head first into tragedy Wherever he went, the ground took his pace Will had a knack for making things go his way Every man wanted to be in his place And all the muses longed to be his, one day. He just wanted to create something great Their love was the wood and their love was the flame Neptune saw through all these tangible things She died more than once for the life that death brings Venus de Milo, Helen of Troy kind of face Neptune was the dream that inspired some change Every woman tried to be in her place All the sailors longed to have her love, one day From beyond and diving into the deep Time can be a friend and time can be an enemy. I sing these songs All that I am, that I want to leave when I’m gone Silent and loud, with a haunting tune ~ The Ballad of Will & Neptune. It was a hot summer day Turned into the fall Neptune took her Will and they made all the stars But from two different axes, their love didn’t survive Will became lost and dreams turned in to sighs. Exclamations turned to question marks. Dreams without will make good people go dark. He hitched a ride, his oppositional thumb. Neptune met a traveller and ran off with his gun. I sing these songs All that I am, that I want to leave when I’m gone. Silent and loud, with a haunting tune. The Ballad of Will & Neptune. And The Alpha & Omega I sing these song All that I am, that I want to leave when I’m gone Silent and loud, with a haunting tune The Ballad of Will & Neptune. Make believe in make-believe again. The ghosts of loneliness have become my best friends Such a barren, cold, heartless abyss. Will without dreams is like wandering with aimlessness Tears come out in the middle of the night He’s not dead, but he’s lost more than life. “Let’s go back,” he begs of Neptune. I don’t know why, but I need you, I do. I sing these songs All that I am, that I want to leave when I’m gone. Silent and loud, with a haunting tune. The Ballad of Will & Neptune. And The Alpha & Omega I sing these song All that I am, that I want to leave when I’m gone Silent and loud, with a haunting tune The Ballad of Will & Neptune.

Picture Perfect by Shanta Paloma Makeovers in the mirror To be as pretty as I can I can’t decide what to wear I can’t decide who I am. All I have is my voice To sing the saddest of songs I want to be beautiful, The most beautiful of them all Nothing quite fits Nothing feels right Seems all I want is to capture his sight And it seems that the truth I don’t want it to be Picturesque models are more exciting And I don’t have a choice If I want him turned on make myself beautiful, skinny and long But my body is short My curves they are round Seems like true love will never be found Picture perfect, woah Perfect, would my world fall in to place? Picture perfect, woah Perfect, woah. Picture perfect with a picture perfect face. Starve myself confident Tear the skin off my bones His devotion ain’t enough I don’t believe, not on my own Nothing quite fits, Nothing feels right Seems all I want is to capture his sight And it seems that the truth, I don’t want it to be Picturesque models are more exciting And I don’t have a choice If I want him turned on make myself beautiful, skinny and long But my body is short. My curves they are round It seems like true love will never be found Picture perfect, woah Perfect, would my world fall in to place? Picture perfect, woah Perfect, woah. Picture perfect with a picture perfect face.

Loving Up A Good Man by Shanta Paloma I want me a good man Noble and bold To love his body, His mind and his old soul. All this time, it seems I’ve had a type - Addicts and abusers and cheaters that like to lie. Getting out of town Solace in the open road Turn my lonely heart around I know where I land I’m telling you, the next time I’ll be ~ lovin’ up a good man. I want me a good man Find me a good man The first one, he died at my feet The next was handsome but oh, he was killing me. Third made promises he knew he couldn’t keep He put me on a pedestal, the fall from which was so steep I don’t mind falling down I’ve become a master at picking up my frown. I know where I stand. I’m telling you, the next time I’ll be - ~ lovin’ up a good man. I want me a good man Find me a good man. Don’t get me wrong, I like them a little bad I like them a little naughty, little naughty in the sack But I’m so tired of the selfish kind If you don’t treat me right, well, I’m leaving your ass behind. I want me a good man. Find me a good man. Just a little bad good man. I want me a good man. Find me a good man. Lovin’ up a good man. I found love again. I thought it was deep. Turns out his words and his loving were so cheap. Oh, the last one, well, he was obsessed with me. When I came around he liked to put me down, emotionally. I won’t be ignored. Take your games, your power trips I ain’t playing anymore. I reach out my hands. I’m telling you, the next time I’ll be ~ feelin’ up a good man. I want me a good man Find me a good man. Just a little bad good man I want me a good man Find me a good man Loving up a good man Save my kiss for a good man Save my lips for a good man Save my hugging for a good man Save my loving for a good man Save my moves for a good man Save my grooves for a good man Going to find me a good man Lovin’ up a good man.
