book of job Dean Chamberlain I left my hom enear Dallas Spent the night in Caesar's Palace I could not believe my eyes There stood God in thin disguise Couldn't breathe, could not speak Said Lord "this can not be" He just smiled and shook his head Said "I'm on a losing streak" I know what you're feeling Ain't so hard to understand Didn't know God was a gambling man Didn't know God was a gambling man Didn't know God was a gambling man Didn't know God was a gambling man My mind was full of tribulation Looking for an explanation I turned to the Book of Job Saw what I was looking for Lord, he said to Satan Your faith cannot be shaken Satan said "I'm betting high" Lord siad "I'll bet you low" What you're feeling I think you don't understand Didn't know God was a gambling man Didn't know God was a gambling man Didn't know God was a gambling man Didn't know God was a gambling man burning bridges Dean Chamberlain/Tessa Marquis I have never seen the searchlight Shine into this place I have never seen regret Pass across your face I have never understood What you mean to me But that is just he way I guess These things are meant to be You seem just like a piece of thread All tangled up and twisted Your eyes refuse to focus here They stare at something distant You know I wanna hold you tight Serene, so complete But that is just the way These things are meant to be Everywhere I turn Another bridge is burned As each page is turned Another one gets burned I have never seen the searchlight Shine into this place I have never seen regret Pass across your face I have never understood What you mean to me But that is just the way These things are meant to be (repeat chorus) burning down the house of love Dean Chamberlain So I heard you made the great escape Yeah you slipped right through Well you didn't say goodbye Didn't expect you to A pocketful of miracles Was all you left behind Oh when you play with matches honey They can be so unkind they set a fire in the house of love That much is true And when they asked me what I knew about it All I could think Was baby you, you, you, you, you, you So now I get up in the morning And I paint the town blue (without you) Yeah I'm restless for your loving Like a cat on a hot tin roof You touched me with your love, Touched me with your love Where it hurts (make it hurt) I believed you baby when you said It could be so much worse There was a fire in the house of love That much they know When I asked you what you did last night All you said was honey No no no no no no no no no no no no no Well I wish i had you back Wish I had you back again today Yeah I wish I had you back No matter what I have to pay Well they named a street corner after you They call it "Desire" Now you can always find me there Asking everybody why why why why why why do you read me Dean Chamberlain I'm so close to heaven Too late to turn back now Mayday, Mayday, I lost my bearings I'm past the point of no return Soon like a star, I'll start falling Where is everyone tonight?

(CHARLIE — OSCAR — DELTA — ECHO BRAVO — LIMA — ULTRA — ECHO) Mayday, I lost my bearings I'm past the point of no return Soon like a star, I'll start falling Where is everyone tonight?

Yeah— Just like I pictured it Like chicken little said "The sky is falling, the sky is falling..." It's not so strange letter from leavonworth Dean Chamberlain Dear Code Blue, I'm only 20 years old I'll be here 20 more It's the kind of place where they throw away the key Before they lock the door I know that somewhere I went wrong But what else could I do? I could say that the devil made me do it But I know that's just not true They say that I hardly had time to live That my life had just begun But I'll be a free man in 2001 I had a dream I found a twenty in my pocket I had another dream they shut the door and forgot to lock it I tried my hand at poetry but I got no sense of rhyme I suppose it goes to show I'm not the "sensitive kind" And Dean, I'd like to learn to play guitar Just the way you do But every time I touch those six steel strings I feel the bars I can't fit through I know there's a great wide world out there Underneath the sun Hope it's still around in 2001 Sometimes the guys 'round here Make an offer I can't refuse Sometimes I see a stranger in the mirror And feel a stranger in my shoes But I won't be afraid No I won't come undone 'Cause I got a date with 2001 And there's a girl that I might look up When my time is done Hope she's still around in 2001 I hear there's a brave new world out there Here I come 2001 modern times Dean Chamberlain The jungle is vanishing Its law loses meaning If the lights for an hour You’ll see the jungle growling in the streets Where are Freddie and the Dreamers?

Life in these modern times Such a life in these modern times Nobody told me ‘bout times like these The children are walking Into the jaws of death Is it murder or—madness? With no signs of violence? Life in these modern times Such a life in these modern times Nobody told me ‘bout times like these Trouble is brewing Between the people and the clones They’re gearing up for battle On the streets and in their homes They mov’em down in Chicago Yeah, they still mix it up Blood’s still thicker than water Life in these modern times Such a life in these modern times Nobody told me ‘bout times like these

I walk with the zombies... we were wasted Dean Chamberlain I work the pipeline on the North Slope "Coldfoot" they call it, south of Prudhoe Bay Seven days on, seven days off, that's a rule And when I get my paycheck, gonna spend it all on her She's a barmaid in a canteen Keep us going nearly eighteen hours a day Out there in the cold I listen to my radio playin' When I get home, shovel snow 'til my teeth'd hurt We were wasted, we had tastd Fruits of love for nights that lasted weeks We were wasted, never lasted To see the next daybreak So on Sundays we'd fly on down to Phoenix Wine and the crystal and the dust keep us occupied And I'd fall on here and pin her to the sofa In the penthouse of some chic downtown hotel 'Cause we were wasted I was readin' in the Sunday paper how it's open now, pumpin a million barrels a day And that poor girl must still be out there Lookin' for another frozen heart We were wasted... when she comes Dean Chamberlain Let me use your dictionary 'Cause I don't understand Wouldn't know love if it bit me Wouldn't know love If it held my hand And Suzanne takes you down To a place where you can't find her And she'll set the grass on fire And she'll act so surprised When some comes He sleeps on the wind Beneath a narrow sky And he'll turn the guns around he'll be in love for the last time When she comes Your love is above and behind you Someday it's gonna find you Don't hide your eyes, let it blind you This song is just a litany Made up of lies And all the characters have been Fictionalized And that's where they stopped the kid Put a pistol to his head Could'a been a leader Could'a been a contender He'll be better off... When she comes where i am Dean Chamberlain Lookin’ around seeking affection Got no place to go Don’t want to leave I want to stay here Where it’s safe and warm Sometimes it feels I can’t get satisfaction Wanna go underground I don’t care if I miss all the action Least I know where I am Tired of places don’t wanna stay here Got no place to go And all these years are the souvenirs Of where I am Sometimes I feel I’ve been reduced to a fraction Of what I used to be But I don’t care if I miss all the action Least I know where I am Where I am Where I am Where I am Gonna make someone to love She’s gonna be pretty And when I’m done she’s gonna walk right over to me Where I am Where I am Where I am They come to me I say I understand I go to them they say "I don’t know, man" Tired of places don’t wanna stay here Won’t somebody Where I am Where I am Where I am whisper/touch Dean Chamberlain Let’s break the ice I can feel the heat Let’s get together Let’s get together Let’s not talk, honey Let’s just start Here’s a message to you From my private parts Got no money All I got is heart Let me in, let me in Let me in Whisper/touch Tender/cruel Whisper/touch Tender/cruel Whisper/touch Tender/cruel There is a love Without a name But a kiss is a kiss Is a kiss is a… In a certain place In a certain way Let me in Let me in Whisper/touch Tender/cruel Whisper/touch Tender/cruel Whisper/touch Tender/cruel
