WILDCARD! Lyrics & Credits

WILDCARD! - The Jokers' Edition:

1 O Divina Fundamentally sound • My karma’s coming round • And I`m not worried • Fundamentally blue • Except when I’m with you • My soul’s excited • O she comes in flavours • Like the kiss of a tangerine • And she comes in graceful • Animation like fantasy • Right there, right there, right there • Right there, right there, right • O Divina perhaps you’ve seen her • Or been her or are her • O she comes in waves of • Satisfaction that sing to me • And she understands that • Forgiveness is charity • Right there, right there, right there • Right there, right there, right • O Divina perhaps you’ve seen her • Or been her or are her • O she comes in lovely affirmations • Like „yes you can!“ • And her love is unconditional • And says „you’re the man“ • Right there, right there, right there • Right there, right there, right • O Divina perhaps you’ve seen her • Or been her or are her

2 Designated Fool There she goes speculating on someone • For her private school • There he is her next suga daddy-o • Her designated fool • She’s a teacher of unbelievable skill • I once loved her and now I`m paying the bill • Afrobatics • Videos for fanatics • In her private school • Athletics natural and synthetic • Designated fool • Right about now she’s regulating on someone • With her juicy groove • If papa comes quick • She’ll slow ‘em down and teach ‘em a textbook trick • Some advanced curriculum • She’s a master • At stimulating her class • I once loved her • I graduated too fast • Afrobatics • Videos for fanatics • In her private school • Athletics natural and synthetic • Designated fool • She’s a master of unbelievable skill • I once loved her and now I’m paying the bill • Your diploma is quite impressive my son • Proudly displayed until another man comes • Afrobatics • Videos for fanatics • In her private school • Athletics natural and synthetic • Designated fool

3 My Dark Places Come and say hello • In my shadow nature there`s a private room • Where I keep my fear • Every now and then never knowing when • I have to disappear • Slaying my dragons by trying to love them • Let’s suspend some time together • Let’s reduce our gravity • And remind ourselves of rainbows • And make love convincingly • Since we’re parking in each other’s spaces • Would you visit me in my dark places? • Would you come and help me bring it into the light? • Would you visit me in my dark places? • Would you help me burn a candle into the night? • Come and say hello • In the belly of my superstitions are many souvenirs • From my travels through my psyches underworld • Where I disappear • Slaying my dragons by trying to love them • Let`s commit our souls to silver • Let`s commit our hearts to gold • And remember in every moment • That we have ourselves to hold • Since we’re laughing in each other’s faces • Would you visit me in my dark places? • Would you come and help me bring it into the light? • Would you visit me in my dark places? • Would you help me burn a candle into the night? • Come and say hello • Let’s suspend some time together • Let’s reduce our gravity • And remind ourselves of rainbows • And make love convincingly • Since we’re living in each other’s graces • And we’re travelling at each other’s paces • Would you visit me in my dark places? • Would you come and help me bring it into the light? • Would you visit me in my dark places? • Would you help me burn a candle into the night? • Come and say hello

4 The Inner Scream If you’re not good to yourself • You’ll be drowned out • By your inner scream • If you’re not good to yourself • Then your anger becomes a disease • A carnival of confusion • A carousel of emotion • A freak show of frustration • A merry go-round mojo • If you’re not good to yourself • If you’re not good to yourself • You’ll look elsewhere for absolution! • If you’re not good to yourself • Then your self doubt becomes retribution • A sideshow of suspicion • A ferris wheel of fear • A roller coaster of madness • A circus of solitude • If you’re not good to yourself • Go on and let your scream out • Let it out • If you’re not good to yourself • You’ll be drowned out • By your inner scream • If you’re not good to yourself • Then your anger becomes a disease • If you’re not good to yourself • Go on and let your scream out • Let it out

5 SRR-636* Get out of your head • Get into my bed she said • Get your wiggle on • Strut like Sinatra • Sample someone`s song • Sing for your supper • Like a rolling stone • I jam with a Woody • Wearing cheap cologne • A sweet suga daddy • Get out of your head • Get into my bed she said • Get your wiggle on • Be sexy like Lenny! • Let your mind move on • It sells for a penny • Like a record groove • Gets scratched by a needle • Telling kids the truth • About The Byrds and The Beatles • Get out of your head • Get into my bed she said • Get your wiggle on • The bees in their bonnets • Are making honey from • Unwritten sonnets • Release your inner scream! • And float with a swagger • Dancing in the street • Like Bowie and Jagger • Get out of your head • Get into my bed she said

6 Drivin` Me Crazy Please excuse me as I go insane • And metamorphisize into the rain • I see pools of fate I think they call your eyes • I guess that my reaction`s no surprise • You`re drivin` me crazy • Because you won`t be my baby • There`s space for you in my reality • To merge with your vibration peacefully • I see laughter as a rainbow from the heart • And then I think of you and fall apart • You`re drivin` me crazy • Because you won`t be my baby • I see symphonies in motion when you breathe • How can I make you see what I believe? • You`re drivin` me crazy • Because you won`t be my baby

7 Suga Free The flavour fades • From Lady Marmalade • Our carousel • Has lost it’s caramel • Cos my baby’s gone suga free • She ain’t sweet like she used to be • My sweet tooth is missing a cavity yo • Because my baby’s gone suga free • My cinnamon girl • Took back her peppermint pearl • It’s seems that she • Now counts her calories! • Cos my baby’s gone suga free • She ain’t sweet like she used to be • My sweet tooth is missing a cavity yo • You know my baby’s gone suga free • Honeydew • And now honey don’t! • My baby’s gone suga free • She ain’t sweet like she used to be • My sweet tooth is missing a cavity yo • My baby’s gone suga free

8 What Shall I Do? If you leave my dream • Will you turn out the light • So my eyes won't see • That my fantasy is escaping me for reality • Shall I tell her • That she's the spring • Arriving on wings • Shall I tell her • That I hear our hearts • Our whispering • And the words I overhear • As you draw near • What shall I do? • If you won't run away with me forever • What shall I do? • What shall I do? • The only thing that time will change • Is whether • I can retrieve • My heart if you leave • When I kissed your lips • It's as if I've been hit • By a melody • There have been no regrets • Though I've placed all my bets • On your memory • Shall I tell her • That she's the glow • That my heaven knows • Shall I tell her • That she's the gleam • That powers my dream • And by the flame • That floats between our eyes • I realize • What shall I do? • If you won't run away with me forever • What shall I do? • What shall I do? • The only thing that time will change • Is whether • I can be seen • With you in my dream • As the sunset fades • And with moonlight trades • Tender harmonies • Shall I tell her • That I can see • The woman she'll be • Shall I tell her • That I'm now alive • Instead of surviving • 'Cause if I lay with her • I stay with her • What shall I do? • If you won't run away with me forever • What shall I do? • What shall I do? • The only thing that time will change • Is whether • I can retrieve • My heart if you leave

9 Testify Once ago there were lovebirds • Who began to fly • Into different spaces of the sky • They were kissed by grace notes • Passing by on there rainbow faces • Testify • Love is never easy • Love is never easy • Testify • Love is never easy • Love is never easy • But I'll still give it a try • Sometimes I wonder why • Once ago there were sun birds • Who began to burn • With the heat of summers soft concern • But he turned her faith into a lie • And it stole her sigh • Testify • Love is never easy • Love is never easy • Testify • Love is never easy • Love is never easy • But I'll still give it a try • Sometimes I wonder why • I can hear my lover calling • As the lazy afternoon is falling • Even if it's in my mind my memory just killing time • Loving has left me wanting • A ghost would find love haunting • I'll have to see if it costs an arm and a legacy • But it's still in question I can't deny • That it took a while to learn to fly • So I did impressions • Testify • Love is never easy • Love is never easy • Testify • Love is never easy • Love is never easy • But I'll still give it a try • Sometimes I wonder why

10 Shalom The cradle of my desire • Is at your command • What’s in a name Shalom? • Segue to my street and • In the middle of it say hello • In the fragrance of your peace • A blossom falls • And my memory remembers • An angel call • What’s in a name Shalom • Segue to my street and • In the middle of it say hello • On the trail of where a kiss leads to • I breathe a sigh • Invisible voices say hello • And then goodbye • Maybe she’ll come back • Maybe she’ll come back home • What’s in a name Shalom? • Segue to my street and • In the middle of it say hello • And on dovetail junction is a caravan • Where the cradle of my desire is • At your command • Maybe she’ll come back • Maybe she’ll come back home • What’s in a name Shalom? • Segue to my street and • In the middle of it say hello • In the fragrance of your peace • A blossom falls • And my memory remembers • An angel call • The well of loneliness is wet with tears • As a canopy of clouds steals • The limelight from the stars

11 Girl Girl, look at the way she smiles at me • Girl, look at how free she seems to be • The sky has no shelter in the summer • The sun is so dazzling without a cloud • The people are floating but then I see her • And now I'm floating • (Contact, I want contact!) • I think that I'm falling in love • Girl, look at the way she smiles at me • Girl, look at how free she seems to be • I'm having a vision and we are standing • Upon the shoulders of a moonbeam • Her eyes are closing for our first kiss • She is a vision • (Contact, I want contact!) • I think that I'm falling in love •
Girl, look at the way she smiles at me • Girl, look at how free she seems to be!

12 Ev`rythang The view from the mountain • Is the same as the one from the shore • The view from an open window • Is the same as from a closed door • The fabulous sunset • Is a joy to behold • And the chains of perception • Have broken their mold • I wanna be one with • Ev’rythang, ev’rythang, ev’rythang • I look at my sister and at my brother • I see that I`m no more, nor less than another • I see that the rainbow is my family tree • I love every colour and every mother • `Coz everyone is family • I wanna be one with • Ev’rythang, ev’rythang, ev’rythang

13 Sweetness Sing your magic spell • Into my ear • Place a blissful sigh • Into my tears • Cradle my forgiveness • Judging that I’m half a man • If it were not for your sweetness • I would not know who I am • Take your magic broom • And sweep my heart • Rescue cupid’s arrow • From broken hearts • Reaching for completeness • Digging deep into the sand • If it were not for your sweetness • I would not know who I am • I find a shelter in your wings • I find my self-remembering • That I’m in a dream • Blow your moonlit trumpet • And sound my tone • Sing to me your silence • And call me home • I’m not full of answers • Though I pretend that I am • If it were not for your sweetness • I would not know who I am

14 Some Birds Blue (Thursday's Child) Thursday's child has far to go • But there are things he needs to know • Thursday's child is wondering why • His apple has fallen from your eye • Why are some birds blue? • What is the taste of rain? • Why are some birds blue? • And why am I not with you? • Thursday's child has love to give • From a heart that's positive • Thursday's child was born to sing • Into your ear the sweetest things • Why are some birds blue? • What is the taste of rain? • Why are some birds blue? • And why am I not with you? • Dreamers begin by opening their mind • And throwing out the doubt they find • Happiness is the freedom to be • Within your sensuality • Thursday's child has far to go • And he still loves you so • Thursday's child has only you • And questionmarks to answer to • Why are some birds blue? • What is the taste of rain? • Why are some birds blue? • And why am I not with you?

15 Be Willing Be willing to achieve what suits your heart • Be willing to begin leaving your mark • Dig out your buried treasure • Your work of art • And nothing will ever stand between • Heaven and your heart • Be willing to attain your freedom from • Hatred and bitterness then carry on • A masterpiece of promise is what you are • And never let nothing stand between • Heaven and your heart • Be willing to forgive an oversight! • Be willing to explore what doesn’t bite • Fearlessness is a fountain • That redecorates the dark • And nothing will ever stand between • Heaven and your heart

16 Goodbye Diane Once upon a time I said some pretty fucked up things • If ignorance is blissful then knowledge has made me wistful • Once upon a time I stayed within your dotted line • But you would never swallow that I was never born to follow • So goodbye Diane • I really hope that you will understand • Once upon a time I scored from the baseline off the glass • The coach instead of praising me said I should have made the pass • Once upon a time I ran with your lions in the field • My lamb was getting trampled but now his bleats are getting sampled • So goodbye Diane • I really hope that you will understand • Mamaraja where`d you go ? • Lovely Sutralinga • Prometheus is getting cold • And old • To avoid confusion • I lean into a waterfall • Listening to temptation • Negotiate a movie deal • For a steal • Once upon a time I heard some pretty ugly lies • Said against my brother `twas a shame it was our mother • So goodbye Diane • I really hope that you will understand • Bye bye Baby

Windows The lamb says: "bah bah bah bah bah bah • bah bah bah bah bah bah"• And should I fall away • There'll be no more to say • I'll step aside from hoping • And travel through my open windows • The moment steals my soul • My eyelids do unfold • It appears that I've awoken • I'll walk on through my open windows • The worries that you carried • Blowing in the breeze • The spirit that you are • Floating on the seasons • Floating on the seasons • And should I fall away • And stay beyond the fray • I will come to you unspoken • And help you through your open windows • Your windows • Windows • Windows • Windows • Windows

Love Can You Hear Me? Love can you hear me? • I’m calling to you • Beyond the fields of Avalon • I found a new lover • It’s her I lay my lips upon • When my emotions uncover • Even when she’s far away • Beyond my fences • I know that she will never stray • Beyond my senses • Love can you hear me? • I’m calling to you • When her kisses touch my soul • I feel embraced by the diva • And then my spirit unfolds • And shakes me like Shiva • Beyond the gates of Babylon • I found a new lover • It’s her I lay my lips upon • When my emotions uncover • Love can you hear me? • I’m calling to you • My heart is on the line

Reflecting Reflecting the still of the water • Reflecting the silvery sky • Reflecting the stars in the galaxy • Are you and I • It`s been said that some mystery • Is essential if in love you wanna be • If that is true then she is my stigma • But I don`t mind loving an enigma • Reflecting the still of the water • Reflecting the sun as it shines • Reflecting the moon in her solitude • Are you and I • I have learned that my intuition • Is a guide to my souls` ambition • And I know that fear is a liar • It will keep you from soaring higher • Reflecting the still of the water • Reflecting the love in your sigh • Reflecting the u in the universe • Are you and I • You can go and find a mirror • And love will let you see her • Then your eyes will open clearly • `Cause everything is merely • Reflecting the still of the water • Reflecting the silvery sky • Reflecting the stars in the galaxy • Are you and I

Benediction: Sugar Ray When I look into your eyes • I see gods light trying to find me • And the troubles of the world • Cease to be as I find myself inside of me • And when the mind is still • We know that everything was meant to be • Sweet like Sugar Ray • Like a nuclear soul that quickly rises • Then measures itself by how deep it falls • Seeking only the allegiance of a breeze • And landing on the black stripes of a zebra • And when the mind is still • We know that everything was meant to be • Sweet like Sugar Ray • My darling tender • To your insecurities • Do not surrender • I know that you are 10 pounds overweight • And yet though I do notice I soon forget • I covet you when your thighs are thin • And I lust for you when your ass is fat • And though your worries stem with regard to fashion • They can never subdue the weight of my passion • `Cause everything was meant to be sweet like Sugar Ray

Paradise Postponed Paradise postponed once again • The bird of love has flown once again • She was swept away by another broom • It blew up in an afternoon, boom! • Her shelter was once my shade • Her bottom lip my silk and suede • Her tender moan my serenade • Soon I'll have found another one • To sing to when the day is done • Paradise postponed once again • Beneath the moon alone once again • The voice that leaves her lips like flame • Have grown into another name, boom!! • Her laughter was once my wine • Her memory seduced my mind • With whispers shadows leave behind • Soon I'll have found another one • To sing to when the day is done • Paradise postponed once again • The bird of love has flown once again • She was swept away by another broom • It blew up in an afternoon • BOOM!!!
