THE GRAMS

LYRICS

SIXTEEN SECONDS
© 2005 schielemusic / gramusic / BMI

Looking out my broken window
I hear the thunder rolling over me
Just like the broken life I lead
Weatherproofed and locked inside
With all my demons at my side
Until the moment you kissed me

In a sixteen-second kiss, baby, you changed everything
And the song you help me sing so sweetly making sense to me
In a sixteen-second bliss every war ceased to exist
Desperate hunger was dismissed, and for the first time
I felt free...

(I was beautiful, when you kissed me I was beautiful when you set me free)
I was beautiful
For sixteen seconds I was free...
(I was beautiful when you kissed me, somehow you saved me)
you were beautiful...
For sixteen seconds I was free...

Bombs bursting in the air
And this house of cards shaking on a prayer
And I found my solace in a kiss of no compare
For sixteen seconds everything was cool
Everything was clean
We kissed like no tomorrow, in a sixteen-second dream

In a sixteen-second kiss love was powerful complete
And the song you helped me sing so sweetly making sense to me
In a sixteen-second bliss every child there is was kissed
And no one raised a fist and for the first time
We were free...

(I was beautiful, when you kissed me I was beautiful when you set me free)
we were beautiful...
For sixteen seconds we were Free....
(I was beautiful when you kissed me, somehow you saved me)
We were beautiful...
For sixteen seconds we were Free....

CRABBUCKIT
© K-Os 2004 EMI

Took a trip on a bus that I didn't know
Met a girl sellin' drinks at the disco
Said truth comes back when you let it go
Seems complicated cause it's really so simple
Walkin' down Young Street on a Friday
Can't follow them, gotta do it my way
No fast lane, still on a highway
Movin' in and out, no doubt there's a brighter day
No time to get down cause I'm moving up
No time to get down cause I'm moving up
No time to get down cause I'm moving up
Ahh, haa... Check out the crab in the buckit

It's like fly in a room, screen-writing on walls
Swear this clone's been havin' a ball
Claimin' themselves just before last call
Tic-a-tic-a-toc tic-a-tic-a-toc
Clock strikes twelve, clock strikes one
Smoking gun got these fools on the run
I know it's not that simple, I know it's not that hard
No time to get down cause I'm moving up
No time to get down cause I'm moving up
No time to get down cause I'm moving up
Ahh, haa... Check out the crab in the buckit

It's a conniption fit when the microphones lit
I take it higher like a bird on a wire, retire the fire
I'll never, cause I'm just moving on up
Choosin' to touch the unseen, craving the clutch
The most inevitable, legible pyro-mania
Slaying the devil, and sendin him back to Transylvania
Strangely enough I avoid that side of the ghetto
From my heavy metal will settle the puppets like Jepeto
Damn, if mirrors where created by sand
Then I'm looking in the water for reflections of man
Understand the minds above time when it's empty
Cuz, emcee chucky-boo, out bouncin’ funky
No time to get down cause I'm moving up
No time to get down cause I'm moving up
No time to get down cause I'm moving up
Ahh, haa... Check out the crab in the buckit

HEY LITTLE GIRL
© 1983, 2005 schielemusic / gramusic / BMI

Hey little girl I must aplogize
I haven’t seen so clearly for the tars that blind my eyes
I’ve played the fool so long and you finally made it clear
But my pride gave way to losing someone near

Hey little girl please find it in your heart
The patience it takes to make this young boy smart
He's trying so hard to make you proud of him
But he tries so hard sometimes his sight grows dim

His eyes grow dim
He’s tried so hard to not spread thin
Cuz all he’s ever really wanted
Is for you to be in love with him
And he’s afraid your reasons might be running thin

Hey little girl I must apologize
I’ve played the fool so long and I finally realize
Frustration aggrivation with every time I try
The boy’s a little slow, he’s realized

His eyes grow dim
He’s tried so hard to not spread thin
All he’s ever really wanted
Is for you to make love with him
And he’s afraid your reasons might be running thin
And he’s afraid your reasons might be running thin
And he’s afraid your reasons might be running thin

PERFECT WORLD
© 2005 schielemusic / gramusic / BMI

I’ve got a thing about you know who
You don’t see me, but, I see you
Baby, come on baby, tell me how you feel
Cuz, your eyes are crying for a love that’s real
Baby, have you really decided?
Are you happy with the love you know
I’m feeling you and baby, I like it
And I’m here to let you know

In a perfect world I could steal if I wanted
In a perfect world I wouldn’t climb these lonely mountains
In a perfect world other houses would be haunted
In a perfect world, in a perfect world you’d be my girl

You’re the dream angel that came last night
Yeah, the girl with the swirl in my naughty night
O’ I dreamed we was kissin’ up in outer space
21 grams on the radio, rocking the place
Baby, I’m so excited
Rocked out ready to go
I’m feeling you and baby, I like it
And I wanna let you know

In a perfect world I could steal if I wanted
In a perfect world I wouldn’t climb such lonely mountains
In a perfect world other houses would be haunted
In a perfect world, in a perfect world you’d be my girl

POOR LITTLE RICH GIRL
© 1986, 2005 schielemusic / gramusic / BMI

Diamonds in the bottom of her "new-brand" boots
Got no soul, they won't get used
The only thing you take with you is what you give away...
Poor Little Rich Girl exquisitely walks the blues
Diamonds in the tires of her boyfriend's car
She's gotta get a new one, she won't get far
The only thing you take with you is what you give away...
Little Rich Girl needs a ride, but, the car stays parked

Ahhhh-n-nn-nahh-n-yea-yeah... She's a Poor Little Rich Girl
Ahhhh-n-nn-nahh-n-yea-yeah... Poor Little Rich Girl
Little Rich Girl

Diamonds in the way she gets things done
Always gets her way, she's got no one
The only thing you take with you is what you give away...
Poor Little Rich Girl pretends she's having fun

Ahhhh-n-nn-nahh-n-yea-yeah... She's a Poor Little Rich Girl
Ahhhh-n-nn-nahh-n-yea-yeah... Poor Little Rich Girl
Little Rich Girl

I want a real girl, I want the girl for me
With a real world, one that I can see
I'll know the real girl — I'll realize,
By the diamonds in her eyes.
I have a dream girl, when I grow up
I have a dream girl, when I wake up
You an' me girl... we'll be up all night......
Yeah, yeah, yeah...

Diamonds in the words of her hot-line phone
Never rings like it did before
The only thing you take with you is what you give away....
No one comes out to play no more, no more, no more....

Ahhhh-n-nn-nahh-n-yea-yeah... She's a Poor Little Rich Girl
Ahhhh-n-nn-nahh-n-yea-yeah... Poor Little Rich Girl
Little Rich Girl
Ahhhh-n-nn-nahh-n-yea-yeah... She's a Poor Little Rich Girl
Ahhhh-n-nn-nahh-n-yea-yeah... Poor Little Rich Girl
Little Rich Girl

YOU
© 2005 schielemusic / gramusic / BMI

You move like moonlight so elegant and slow
you crept through my windows and eased into my soul
you are the moon and the stars that lights my way thru the lonely night
You are the Heave in the sky tonight
You’re the one, you’re the only one
You are the one, you’re the only one
You’re the one, you’re the only one
You.

You shine like sunlight everywhere you go
You fill my room, my heart, with a devastating glow
You are the brightest day and all the things that make it go right
You’re my day and baby, you’re my night
You’re the one, you’re the only one
You are the one, you’re the only one
You’re the one, you’re the only one
You.

You are the music so elegant and slow
You fill my heart with the rhythm and the flow
You are the music I’ve been trying to write for so, so, so long
You’re the light of my life and Baby, you’re my song
You’re the one, you’re the only one
You are the one, you’re the only one
You’re the one, you’re the only one
You.

THE SECRET
© 2005 schielemusic / gramusic / BMI

I found the thing that makes me sing
about everything
I’ve stopped my wandering
I’ve stopped my wandering for you

You gave the sound within my heart
That one that wouldn’t start
that sound within my heart
that sound withinn my heart is you

How come it took so long for me to find it?
I’ve got the secret. I’m gonna keep it.
Our love grows on and on - a love phenomenon
I’ve got the secret. I’m gonna keep it!

I’ve got the thing that makes me laugh
Along my cloudy path.
Even if it rains, I’ll laugh.
Even if it rains I’ll laugh, with you.

How come it took so long for me to find it?
I’ve got the secret. I’m gonna keep it.
Our love grows on and on - a love phenomenon
I’ve got the secret. I’m gonna keep it!
How come it took so long for me to find it?
I’ve got the secret. I’m gonna keep it.
Our love grows on and on - a love phenomenon
I’ve got the secret. I’m gonna keep it!

ONE THING TO SAY
© 2005 schielemusic / gramusic / BMI

I'm a Sailor without a ship to sail
But I'm the captain of my sea
I can tell which way is east and west
But the sun doesn't set on me
My arms are tired from the ride
And my mouth is salted and dried
Though I drift according to tide
I'm thinkin’ about you...

If I had one thing to say... If I had one thing to say...
If I had one thing to say... If I had one thing to say...
I’d say...

You’re the wind in my sails, yeah Mama
You’re the weather out to sea
And my boat’s been rockin’ and I’m not knockin’ it
I’m still not dockin’ this thing
The sea is rough tonight
No consellation to guide this ride
So I swirl through a hurricane tide
Think'n about you

If I had one thing to say... If I had one thing to say...
If I had one thing to say... If I had one thing to say...
I’d say...
If I had one thing to say... If I had one thing to say...
If I had one thing to say... If I had one thing to say...
I’d say...
If I had one thing to say... If I had one thing to say...
If I had one thing to say... If I had one thing to say...
I’d say...
I’d say “I love you.”
“ I love you.”
I’d say “I love you.”
“ I love you.”

LOVE
© 2007 schielemusic / gramusic / BMI

I’ve got a heart of gold
On a silver platter
But I’m ore about the former
Than I am the latter
I’m rying to get richer
But I think I’d rather
Find a Love thats thicker
Than pancake batter

I gotta chip on my shoulder
And a shirt that’s tattered
Over rumors overheard
About hearts that shattered
Well they can chit and chatter
Baby it don’t matter
My Love for you is thicker
Than pancake batter

Thicker than the blood we bleed
It’s all about the Love we need
Bigger than the things we think we need
We need Love we need Love we need Love

You’re like the sun at the day’s high noon
You’re like the dark side of the moon
Come on girl show me what you can do

Thicker than the blood we bleed
It’s all about the Love we need
Bigger than the things we think we need
We need Love we need Love we need Love
Thicker than the blood we bleed
It’s all about the Love we need
Bigger than the things we think we need
We need Love we need Love we need Love

LITTLE DO THEY KNOW
© 2007 schielemusic / gramusic / BMI

I know a guy who thinks he’s so bitchen’
Got a dog and a wife just for kicks, in the kitchen
Little does he know he’s got a whisky bottle baby on the way
He stumbles through the door fashionably late
“ I’m awful sorry honey, I had to work late”
Little does she know he’s got his little secretary tucked away

They’ve got one thing in common
Two different points of view
Little do they know they’ve got better things to do
Three strikes coming
Four more lies to tell
Little do they know, Little do they know
Little do they know

I know a girl she thinks she’s so fine
Sits alone getting drunk on strawberry wine
Little does she know that the dreams in her bottle aint real,
Yeah, her little rude brother thinks he’s so cool, you know
He stole a buncha matches and burned down the school
Little does he know there’s got to be an easier way

They’ve got one thing in common
Two different points of view
Little do they know they’ve got better things to do
Three strikes coming
Four more lies to tell
Little do they know, Little do they know
Little do they know

HEADS ABOVE WATER
© 2007 schielemusic / gramusic / BMI

Cindy Lee got herself a forty cent raise
Singing protest songs in the LA haze
She likes to see things change tryin’ to keep her head above water

When Christopher ordered his cinnamon swirl
He got sweet for the waitress but she’s sweet for the girls
Still she’s his at breakfast trying to keep her head above water

Everyone I know’s just trying to do their thing
Everyone I know is dreaming the same dreams
Everyone I know is trying to find a better song to sing
Everyone I know just keeps on trying
To keep their heads above water

This here’s a story ‘bout a man named “jed”
Yeah, he’s doing what he can to keep the family fed
He always said y’gotta keep your head above water

Jeffery takes heart in the rad he knows well
Pulls up in a truck with some stories to tell
He’s workin’ miracles tryin’ to keep his head above water

Everyone I know’s just trying to do their thing
Everyone I know is dreaming the same dreams
Everyone I know is trying to find a better song to sing
Everyone I know just keeps on trying
To keep their heads above water

Michael said a prayer shaking hands with the Pope
Dropped out of the church and gave the rest of us hope
By taking faith in himself trying to keep his head above water

Most everyone I know is afraid of the Queen
They look both ways before they’re seen
In certain company trying to keep their heads above water

Yeah, but I got a woman who stands by her man
Through thte thick and the thin of taking a stand
It our faith in the plan that keeps our heads above water

Everyone I know’s just trying to do their thing
Everyone I know is dreaming the same dreams
Everyone I know is trying to find a better song to sing
Everyone I know just keeps on trying
To keep their heads above water

BIG DANGEROUS

It’s a real big thing
I feel the sweet familiar sting
I’m feeling something amourous
It’s big
And its dangerous

It’s a real big thing
I’m feeling love supreme
Baby, I’ve got a plan for us
It’s big
And its dangerous

It’s a real big thing
I’m feeling love supreme
Baby, I’ve got a plan for us
It’s big
And its dangerous

PERFUME
© 2007 schielemusic / gramusic / BMI

I was drunk on your perfume
And the subtle way you filled up the room
There was something in the way you move
Now, I’m drunk on your perfume

I was watching from across the room
You swayed like a burnin’ field in bloom
I was overwhelmed and consumed
Now, I’m drunk on your perfume

Without asking “why?” Without having to try
You make me high, so high....

Now, I’m bouncing like a man on the moon
Cuz, you changed the weather over my lagoon
And I’m in such a peculiar mood
Yeah, I’m drunk on your perfume

Without asking “why?” Without having to try
You make me high, so high

Now, thinkin’ is all I do
And the only thing I think about is you
And I’ve been stuck in the funkiest groove
I’m drunk on your perfume

Without asking “why?” Without having to try
You make me high, so high

Hey Cinderella wanna be your fella
There's a chubby lil kid goin' 'round chuckin arrows
