1) I Can Wait - 2:27
-------------------------------
I Can Wait - Lyrics & Music (c) (p) Jas. Forest 1984 - 2008
I don't know what show this is, but it looks god-damned holy
Is a human sieve, with the meat in the basket while the blood drains on the floor
Some people judged from the smile on their faces and they're closing the curtains on the stage in their places, with a notch in the belly, and a star in a page in their brains
ll try harder, and do my best, but I can wait

Well I breathed on a subject but the smell wasn't there, with my foot in my mouth and a plug in your ear, do you think that you're honest when you lie about your age?
You think you
quote re generation is a rising sun, with super unleaded and aerobic fun;
At the middle, at the back, at the top of the century
ll try harder and do my best, but I can wait

A lot of folks rear their head as ignition, maybe clothes you wear, or the promise of redemption, I don't know when you
quote re calling out my name.
we think our generation is a rising sun, with super unleaded and aerobic fun-
At the middle, at the back, at the top of the century
ll try harder and do my best, but I can wait

Gitmo Bay - Chords/Lyrics by Jas. Forest (All Rights Reserved)
I V6/3 I6/4 IV
more or less sane when i tried to steal your car
I6/3 ii6/5 I6/4 V
it was parked inside the shade of your mercury heart
I6/4 V I6/3 IV
drove it to the sun, and then back to the moon
I6/3 V6/3 I6/3 IV
as true as the night kisses off o' the day
I6/3 IV I6/3 ii6/5
as true as the morning kisses off o' the noon
ii7 V6/3 I6/4 ii6/5 ---ii7 (* is like the ii/IV)
when a dog is on the loose, it seems god has gone away...
IV I6/3 V I
and there's no where to hide in Guantanamo Bay

IV V6/3 I6/4 ii6/5 I6/4 V
the valley of the loon, sun is like your mind, burning ever bright
IV V6/3 IV6/4 V6/3
you can forget about the stars when you cover up the night...

------
I6/4 V I6/3 IV
let's ride the sunrise back to the moon
I6/3 V6/3 I6/3 IV
as true as the night kisses off o' the day
I6/3 IV I6/3 ii6/5
as true as the morning kisses off o' the noon
ii7 V6/3 I6/4 ii6/5 ---ii7 (* is like the ii/IV)
a dog is on the prowl, it seems god has gone away...
IV I6/3 V I
and there's no where to hide in Guantanamo Bay

I V6/3 I6/4 IV
fidele is true blue as death is your son
I6/3 ii6/5 I6/4 V
take me back to the lord at the end of a gun
I6/4 V I6/3 IV
ya can round up all the people; then round up all the fools
I6/3 IV V6/3 I
when the H.C. is dead they're a c'mon for you...
IV V vi I
when the H.C. is dead they're a c'mon for you...


ii7 V6/3 I6/4 ii6/5 I6/4 V
the valley of the loon, sun is like your mind, burning ever bright
IV V6/3 IV6/4 V6/3
you can forget about the day when you cover up the night...

I6/4 V I6/3 IV
let's drive to the sunset, and then back to the moon
I6/3 V6/3 vi6/4 ii7
as true as the night kisses off o' the day
I6/3 V6/3 I6/3 ii6/5
as true as the morning kisses off o' the noon
ii7 V6/3 I6/4 ii6/5 ---ii7 (* is like the ii/IV)
when the hounds are at the door, it seems god has gone away...

3) Nothing Means Nothing Anymore - 3:22

Nothing Means Nothing - Lyrics & Music â ©2004-2006 Jas.Forest (All Rights Reserved)

Nothing means nothing anymore
I close my eyes and open up the door
Heaven waits in hell
the oceans canât keep us alone
Inside this little circle where my mind is a breaking storm

Zeus and Athena from above will mingle with our blood,
and keep the devil off our backs
while weâre sketchinâ out the rough
Madame Zefferelli keeps on coming back,
the pirates understand her when she says I am the ground
the sea can see the ocean, he seeks to be the sun,
Zeffie's swinging in the wind, aâ wounded by the one

Nothing Means Nothing Anymore,
Woohoo âhoo â
I close my eyes and open up the door.
Heaven waits in hell,
the quiet canât keep us alone
Turn into the morning in the wake of a raging storm

Greener than Irish angel eyes,
a bluebird crying in the wild,
galaxies will fill your mind
with the naked terran sky.

Nothing Means Nothing Anymore,
Woohoo âhoo â
I close my eyes and open up the door.
Heaven waits in hell,
the furies canât keep us alone,
a little sanctuary in the eye of a desert storm
------------------------------------------------------------
4) In Respect To You - 3:27
In Respect To You â Lyrics & Music â ©2006 Jas. Forest (duet)
(All Rights Reserved)

How did you know that I hated/loved you so?
âcause you hate/love yourself to
and all those things inside that terrify you,
terrify me to...
Iâm at a loss for things to do,
to keep my mind occupied;
So I donât have to see the truth
about my sentimentsâ¦
In respect to you

Where could I run âcept into your loving arms?
youâre the only one to choose
because you hate/love yourself as much as I do,
not afraid your being used,
not afraid to be abused,
itâs so easy when the pain keeps you
so amused...
and I whip myselfâ¦
In respect to you

Break

There is a chain that is so invisible,
it makes us indivisible
And would a lightening bolt reveal our marriage?
Knock us into plain sight,
umbilical cord is severed;
And I raise my bloody wound...
In respect to you

Still my river runs to you

Câest finis

------------------------------------------------------------
5) Rising Montezuma - 2:46
Rising Montezuma -lyrics and music composed by Jas Forest
(All Rights Reserved)

see the ghosts, and the ghouls in the castle réal...
the hangman fixes my rope in corporeal style
Captain Johnâs Marmaduke, is louder than a trump,
When the trump is my naked quivering, Auntie Wilhomeena
Iâd rather die in the arms of the sky, flying through the winds
Of the Rising Montezuma

Long away, long, long away

counting calendars down, where my luck is a brave
And all the virgins are stayed, celebrations are ground
Rest laid next to a summer tree where the witches burn
In the August breeze
And the cry out loud is for heavens sake, when sheâs gone away.
Long away, long, long away

------------------------------------------------------------
6) Get It On - 1:54
Get It On - Lyrics & Music â ©2004 Jas. Forest
(All Rights Reserved)

Baby hold me to your breast
I love to hear your heart song

We rolled down to Vegas -
in our Wedding dress; riding horizon

On, On gottaâ get it on,
whatchya gonna do in the dark for a song
and a Pretty ole' lady with a daughter for a soul,
from the top to the bottom, from the quick to the slow
On, On, On, ya gotta get it on.

On, On, On, ya gotta get it on.

Kiss my lips in torrid bliss;
and wait for the dawn to break
I bet the farm on two bloody jacks,
a pair ainât as good as a straight...

On, On, ya gotta get it on.
whatchya gonna do in the dark for a song?
A âditty ole daddyâ with a flam'n toe/tow,
from the top to the bottom, from the quick to the slow
On, On, On, ya gotta get it on.

7) Darling Again - 3:07
Darling Again - Lyrics & Music composed by Jas Forest 2008
(All Rights Reserved)

I was so in love with you, but what can a poor lonely mirror do?
Just relax, reflect, re-energize the jets.
i was sure that we knew one another, but this crazy soul whipped us around
we sailed the sea of love, where mermaids and sea horses turned passion into light
and the sin makes it so dish-a-liss

Oh to be your Darling Again, to be your lover and friend, to be your darling again.
Spin to me, come take my hands, dance with me darling and dance with me,
until we can float to the top of the sky.

i used to be sure of what i would say to you, my heart was a rain drop's rhythm
when I try to fall-a-sleep your image i can't escape
you still take away my breath with a thousand little deaths...
closer to the water, and i thought i saw my sister, then a ripple takes me away.

Oh to be your Darling Again, to be your lover and friend, to be your darling again.
Oh to be your whispher of love you make silence just like a holiday
Spin to me, come take my hands, dance with me darling...
until we can float to the top of the sky.

8) King Of Washington - 2:29

King Of Washington -©2006 Jas. Forest (All Rights Reserved)

Iâm so mad about you, I canât live without you
When my car is broken down
and Iâm hitchinâ a ride to Spokane, Washington

Tell me brother, tell me sister,
whereâd you run for cover in the driving storm
Share your mettle, share the water,
mother of the earth rockinâ me âtil dawn
Iâm so mad about you, I canât live without you
And weâre walking arm in arm, and weâre are taking the news to the King of Washington

Sweet Janey prayed for the soul of a baby Elvis
Under a tree in monochrome shades of Memphis
Filmed some clouds over Indiana

Iâm so mad about you, I canât live without you
You can call him on the phoneâ¦
Câmon on now dial up your love for the King of Washington
