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

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
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.
