Kevin Max Album

I'm coming out like a .45
Spinning like a Wurlitzer on overdrive
Feeling like electro glide
Touch down satellite, feel all right
Tonight, return of love
Return, return of the singer

Twist me up and watch me burn
Just like a falling star about to burst
Center down and outward thrust
The curtain's up baby it's all or bust
Tonight, return all the love you get
Return, return of the singer

It's tailor made and it's heaven sent
Just think about the time we've spent
The way we moved the words we spent
If nothing else a testament
Oh my love, oh my baby
No one else can make me crazy like you, like you

Cause we're all about to move on
No one here without a song
Pilfering the planet's blood
Been making up the moment from after the flood
Tonight, return of love
Return, return of the singer

I'll tell you how it's gonna be
We're gonna make some history
A microphone, the truth we need
No joke, no trend, no fad of the week
Hordes of angels, sing as one
You know my heart has come undone again, again

Return, return of love
Return, return of the singer
Return of all the love you get
Return, return of the singer

You come into the threshold of another starless night of fear
You're running from the "demons" that would drag you down again
Illusions of the world are spinning out of time and frame and synchronicity
You're so sad
You're such a sad-eyed girl
You're so sad in your sub-plot

Chorus:
What is this, what is this, this mess of my existence is
All these politics of life and death and relevance
It's my existence

Another morning it comes running up your bedpost with the wind
You face yourself just like you always do, time and time again
The mortal coil of image, inner peace and satisfaction
And so you keep it on the down-low
Hiding all the secrets that are down below
And so you keep it on the down-low
Tell me baby was it worth it all

Wassup Girl
It's my turn
You cry and your eyes burn
What's your life's turn
Beautiful girl
Who all the guys yearn
What's more to your story
You still learn
Despite why your eyes burn
Soul-Searchin'
I seek and find the ole merchant
The high beacon
Your eyes talk
When you ain't speakin
And at school
You cry out
Why does water deep dry out?
Your getting gyped
Flat out

Chorus

Oh just take it all, make it work and make some sense
Just take it all,
You're my existence
You're my existence

I LOVE YOU BAILEY - from Kevin

All in all we're fading
Like a soul lost in the wilderness
We're cold and we're cut off from it
Not knowing where it's gonna end

There's a star in Bethlehem, it's calling you
It's a memory of One who made it

Be, be yourself
There's no one who does it quite like you
Be, no one else
Cause if you don't then who is going to
You're a tribute to the best of us

We follow everybody else
Not knowing what we're made for
The mecca of the insecure
The sign and mark of the popular

There's a new face on the television
It's a new host with the same derision

Be, be yourself
Don't let the losers tell you what to do
Be, no one else Cause if you don't then who is going to

And the time is now
No reason to look back
Just like an infant born
You've got to catch your breath
And I'm learning Father
Yes, and I'm going farther

Be, be yourself
There's no one who does it quite like you
Be, no one else
Cause if you don't then who is going to?

Light the path you're supposed to see
Just like the salt that filters through the need
Like the star that's falling from the sky
Just like the apple of your Daddy's eye

I wanna a girl with a college head
Not some dizzy mind
I want somebody with some sentiment
You wanna waste my time

I wanna house in New Orleans
You wanna hitch a ride
So come on back when you can make some tea
And read St. Augustine

I like the way you look outside
It's not like the secrets that you try to hide
I kind of like the way you talk so tough

(Chorus:)
There's only one road to go down
You gotta take it right out of town
She's like an angel with no wings
And don't you know she flies with strings attached

Who said romance is a chosen thing
Maybe it chose you
Who said there's someone perfect waiting in the wings
Perfection isn't you

It's not the way you look outside
It's not the boyfriend that you try to hide
I kind of like that way you stand so bold

(Chorus)

Oh my Lord, you can kill me where I lay
And it's alright that you sing no serenade
And it's alright baby, that you're and angel without wings
And it's alright girl, that you're flying with strings attached
Yeah

(Chorus)

And they said we wouldn't last
And they said the years would break our backs
So here we are again my friend
To mystify their narrow plans

You and I were meant to be
Much more than they could see
You and I were meant to stay
As they waste away

Chorus:
We are shaping the spaces
And harvesting places
We're the princes of the universe
We are living together
In the here-everafter
In the temple of the evening Son
We're the princes of the universe

It's a prophecy of long ago
It's a blueprint for the journey home
And we're writing as we stumble on
Making history to build upon

You and I will always be
Much more than they could see
You and I are meant to stay
As we'll waste away

Chorus

Bridge:
And the raven in the tower clock
Spins poetry and devil talk,
And the woman by the endless well
She's drawing water from the mouth of hell
"And these are the days", she says and

Chorus

As the sand shifts cool beneath your feet
By the light of a dead end moon
Your haunted fingers on my skin so sweet
Your hair the darkest loom

Like a cherub left to gather moss
Like a ship without its sail that's tossed
Like a vassal to his kingdom lost
My soul so pale

Oh my lonely heart
Oh my soulless girl
Will you ever let me go

I don't wanna cry no more
And here I wander aimless
I just want to find the cure
To my growing weakness
And the one who wanders is not lost
My friend

From on top a Moorish wall i stand
I see the valley stretching
The mist of seas are pulling in
From your cliff I'm stranded
Embedded in your body deep
Lie answers to the questions
Like a garden hidden from the keep
How long I've waited

Oh my lonely heart
Oh my soulless girl
Will you ever let me go

I don't wanna cry no more
And here I wander aimless
I just want to find the cure
To my growing weakness

Oh dark mistress, my only salvation
If only to hold you in blessed suspension
Eyes that hold midnight, smile that brings out light
Strange fascination, my only placation

I don't wanna cry no more
And here I wander aimlessly
I just want to find the cure
To this infernal sadness

How can I be so despairing, when you are so full of joy
How can I be so laser-like and you are so passively content
How can I bleed my sorrows and you hide your accomplishments

Why must I wallow in the mire, when you fly above it all
I struggle with a word of truth,
but you would wither if a lie passed your teeth
How can I be me and you be you?
It is the union that makes us whole
Separetely in control of each other

Oh tell me, do you live in dreams?
You're not exactly what you seem to be
Yeah, we want to follow Ellesun
But come tomorrow we will want to run from Ellesun
Oh no

You're so fashionably late
And you're wearing all that black like fate
You wanna run to the forest all the time

She's got a ring of serpents
One red, one green, entwined
She's got skeletons in her closet
That always seems to fall in line

I wonder if she's lost it in the head
Yeah, she just wants to get you into bad
Just take another prisoner, Ellesun
Oh yeah, just tell another lie until it's done
Oh my

Your name cannot be traced
And your theology is out of date
You wanna run to the fairies all the time

She offers you a ring of serpents
And she offers you her hand
It's not like love or friendship
It's something hidden

Oh the meetings on, it's such a secret circle
Secret circle of, secret circle of, secret circle of...

Oh tell me, do you live in dreams?
You're not exactly what you seem to be
Ellesun

And so we broke up
And so you decided
It's you, it's always you
Even though we're friends
I felt uninvited
The fraternity of fools

And I'm drowning slowly (going down)
And I'm fading like ink that's a hundred years old

Chorus* I don't belong, say I'm wrong
Told you that you should have known me better
I dont' belong, this is my song, this is my song

You made me a prince
You made me a pauper
Then you turned around and closed the gate
Even though I messed up
There wasn't an offer, love
No mercy, no grace

And I see right through you (see right through you)
You wanna be just like me, don't you?

Chorus

(stupid things I've said and done)
Oh don't you walk away
(battles that I've lost and won)
Shame, shame, shame on me
(what i used to think was wrong)
I'm for the underdog, I like the one that don't belong

There's no one stirring on my street tonight
There's no one leaning on my windowpane
No one to ascertain, or just apologize to
There's no one to kill my anxiousness again

And if you can, please take these arrows from my side
Their poison marks are like a tatoo of my pride
I'm guilty, so guilty, dead guilty

Blind, I'm blind
You know I'm blind, baby, say it isn't right
So blind, I'm blind
I'm certifiable but I'm on time

No priest in midnight black can cure my itching flea
This case of stricken lust has really got a hold on me

And if you can, please take this sword back from my side
Its poison mark is like a tattoo of my pride
I'm guilty, so shoot me, I'm guilty

Blind, I'm blind
You know I'm losing my mind, I'm paralyzed
So blind, I'm blind
Certifiable but right in time

Wooo hooo, wooo hooo
I need divine intervention, Your divine intervention
You're divine, You're the vine
I'm the branch, You're the vine
I'm the fig leaf, You're the branch, You're divine

I'm blind (I'm deaf and dumb and that's not all)
You know I need a dose of your spirituality
I'm blind (I"m deaf and dumb and that's not all)
I can see now my eyes are opening
I'm deaf and dumb and that's not all
I'm deaf and dumb to it all

You are the sunshine
I am the rain that falls in line
You are a candle
And I am your darkness
You are the moonlight
I am the cloud that passes by
You are a vision
And I am blindness

And so it goes
The story is far too old to know it all

Chorus* On and On, we dance until the song is off the radio
On and on, we hold each other long after the crowd is gone
On and on, our love goes on and on

You are an island
I am the raging of the sea
You are a fortress
And I am abandoned
You are the valley
You are the bird that flies so high
You are a temple
And I am a beggar

And so it goes
The story is far too old to know it all

Chorus

Take me to your drawbridge, come take me to your door
Take me when I'm hungry, baby, take me when I'm poor
Take me when I'm sick of love, take me when you've had enough
Take me when I'm lost, alone, and don't know the reasons why

Every time she comes my way she knows just what to do and say
Those little smiles she throws away, they turn my stomache
If you listen close enough you'll catch all the divisive stuff
Those subtle moves, the way she smoothes her hair

And you don't want to say
She was digging your grave
And your friends all can see it
There's no way you're gonna leave it

So where you gonna go
Who you gonna call
When you know it's time to play the game?
What's your mystery
Who's it gonna be
When you know it's time to play her game

Chorus* Is it real or Memorex
Those secrets that you feared confess
When she was there you let it all spill out
Turning as you leave for good
You wonder if you ever should have wandered through
Her neighborhood at all

And you don't want to say
She was digging your grave
and your friends all can see it
There's no way you're gonna leave it

Chorus

I am all to blame
This is my parade of broken-hearted words
I feel them all and learned their shame
Please catch me when I fall
And turn me from this wall I've faced far too long
This lonely sonnet needs a throng

You are the center of your own private little constellation
and you are the jury and judge of every little deconstructed fable
and you like the way it is
you don't want to question it
you're the wonder of God's own handiwork

Yeah you wear Versace but you look like a dirty bird
and yeah, even the paparazzi think you're quite absurd

Venus of your own consent is there anything you give up for Lent
Oh parasite oh peacock of pride
Will you let the little people see inside you
and you don't wanna question it
and you're looking quite posessed
you're the wonder of God's own handiwork

Yeah you wear Versace but you look like a...
and yeah even the buying public think you're quite a jerk

and you're trapped in your little castle
like Randolph Hearst in his fringe and tassel

Yeah you wear Versace but you look like a...
and yeah, even the paparazzi think you're quite absurd

There's too much information on the television
innocent we have been sprung and innocent we are
you don't know how to feel you don't know
this is the eye of the storm
this is society

Oh the hymns of angels
Suffer over the stench of the twenty-first century
Nothing is black or white
Or devoid of industry
The face of monotony
The litany of pop culture
I face the microphone and fumble in my pockets for a change
A break from the deranged world of plotting out the death of art
And I went over the edge of the world
And I felt the sting of all its words
I sang the song of elves and birds
I saw you in my rearview shades
And drank from pools of nighttime cafes
I stopped over just to finish up
I turned the knobs and called your bluff
I went over the edge of the world
I face the microphone and fumble in my pockets for a change
A break from the deranged world of Plotting of the death of art

k this is a bonus song that comes on right after I went over the edge of the world. It comes on 3 min. 11 sec. into the song. so here is the lyrics to it.

I ran into your arms like Moses parted water
I ran into your arms like an angel to the father
I ran into your arms like a soul that has departed & u rescued me...

I fell down like the stars, u pick me up so tenderly
And I fell down like the stars, my wings made of clay
And I fell down like the stars, you hold me up so all can see
And u rescued me, oh yes

You, You are the One
You are the One, the only One
'Cause You are,
You, You are the One
You are the One, You are my God

I stumble like a blind man
Destined to this earth I stray
I stumble like a blind man
No redemption
I stumble like a blind man
With eyes blacked out & a mouth of sand
And you rescued me, oh come on

You, You are the One
You are the One, You are my God
'Cause You are,
You, You are the One
You are the One, the only One

'Cause you are,

You are the sky that holds the rain
You are my greater stave
You are the drugs that kill the pain
You are everything, the teacher

I stand before your altar,
Falling strain of Abram's son
I stand before your altar,
Like a lamb that's to a slaughter

You, You are the One
You are the One, the Only One
'Cause You are
You, You are the One
You are the One, the only One
And You are
You, You are the One
You are the One
You are my God
And you are
You, You are the One
You are the One, the only One
'Cause You are

You wanna call me when I'm wondering with doubt
You wanna call and tell me everything's alright
I know it's you and you see everything in me
I know it's you, It's you

You are the sky that holds the rain
You are my greater stave
You are the drugs that kill my pain
You are everything, the teacher

You are the sky that holds the rain
You are my greater stave
You are the drugs that kill the pain
