Lyrics:

How could I have read your mind
One so dark and see all the issues
Plaguing us forever I won't be so cold
Yet you keep it bold you saw all my scars
But now you carve them in

Tell me any kind of wish
Show me your imagination
Tell me your darkest secrets I need to know
Won't be the last private show

Desperation is eating me
When you confess you need me
When I'm all alone I feel out of control
Lift me up
Give me one more second chance

How could I see past your face
When you wore the mask
No emotion even through my devotion
I felt no touch no warm sense of loving
To keep me from going off the deep end

Tell me any kind of wish
Show me your imagination
Tell me your darkest secrets I need to know
Won't be the last private show

Desperation is eating me
When you confess you need me
When I'm all alone I feel out of control
Lift me up
Give me one more second chance

Oh liability
How could I see your heart
Oh damned bunny
Why couldn't I let you go

When you confess you need me
When you left me out of control
Give me a clue
Give me one more second chance

Desperation is eating me
When you confess you need me
When I'm all alone I feel out of control
Lift me up
Give me one more second chance

Desperation is eating me
When you confess you need me
When I'm all alone i feel out of control
Lift me up
Give me one more second chance

Only if you confess
You're killing me
My desperation
Is eating me
Only if you confess
You're starving me
I just ask you 
Give me one more second chance

Released: 7/21/23

Lyrics:

All the eyes on me now
As the curtain soon falls
Gotta look fast now
Last peak you'll get before the show
Yet when i come to unwind
Only one left in the room
Is you who unbinds
This holy sacred tomb

Soon it's just me and you
Locked in this room
Locked in this room
Mind can deceive
What your heart wants
What your body wants
But you keep it coming for me
All your love and mystery
Soon you'll get to know all of me
Unlock this tomb of ecstasy

Unlock me
Behind these walls is your cure
Feed the beast take away your pure
I am the viper, I hold your fantasy
Unlock me
I am what you desire
I spark your fire
Your sacred python
The top jewel in the crown

Under the pythons spell now
Soon you begin to fall
To deceitful ways now
Bit the apple now feel the flu
Try to unlock my tomb
Trying to see me full display
Try to find my truth
But I keep my secrets always at bay

Soon it's just me and you
Locked in this room
Locked in this room
Mind can deceive
What your heart wants
What your body wants
But you keep it coming for me
All your love and mystery
Soon you'll get to know all of me
Unlock this tomb of ecstasy

Unlock me
Behind these walls is your cure
Feed the beast take away your pure
I am the viper, I hold your fantasy
Unlock me
I am what you desire
I spark your fire
Your sacred python
The top jewel in the crown

If you could just unlock me
Free me from the pain
If only you could feel me
Take away the rain
But you would never see me
Never notice my face
But when the tears fall down
It burns like acid rain
It burns like acid rain

Unlock me
Behind these walls is your cure
Feed the beast take away your pure
I am the viper, I hold your fantasy
Unlock me
I am what you desire
I spark your fire
Your sacred python
The top jewel in the crown

Unlock me, lock me
Unlock me, unlock now
Behind these walls is your cure
Feed the beast take away your pure
Unlock me, lock me
Unlock me, unlock now
Behind these gates find your new world
Give in to me bargain for your new pearl

Lyrics:

Oh you shot my heart
Right into a million tiny stars
And I look up in the sky
And see a beautiful shining light

Gonna be the one, to hold you
As you cry about the world
Gonna see love, profusion
In dying ecstasy 
Gonna feel the touch, of poison
As your mind spins fast
Round around

We stay underground
Come babe just take cover
I'm always waiting for you, for you
Love me love me, Don't play nice
Feel me feel me, Don't request
I'll be your secret only come out midnight

I wanna be your XOX
You wanna feel this XOX
I want you to be my XOX
Staying all night we do more than hugs and kisses

Wanna see the world, it's here babe
I can be the fantasy
Wanna feel the touch, of destiny
As it graces by my side
Wanna kill the dread, in your damn head
I can set you free
I can set you free

We stay underground
Come babe just take cover
I'm always waiting for you, for you
Love me love me, Don't play nice
Feel me feel me, Don't request
I'll be your secret only come out midnight

I wanna be your XOX
You wanna feel this XOX
I want you to be my XOX
Staying all night we do more than hugs and kisses

I know the world may condemn
But my conceited ways feel the need for you
I know we may fall to their mayhem
But I still love your soft soothe
Let's just keep this hot
Let the bass fade our problems out of misery

I wanna be your XOX
You wanna feel this XOX
I want you to be my XOX
Staying all night we do more than hugs and kisses

XOX
XOX
Be your XOX
Be your XOX

Lyrics:

Like so fab
Like so famous
Like so rich
Just a bit of a bitch

Walk down the runway 
These streets my red carpet
Money talks
Diamond tells the tale of my
Deviance
Madonna said it best in song

Who are you to be destined for the stars
Who are you to think you could reach the bar
Will you fight the war for the crown

FASHIONOVA 
I'm gassing them all no mercy
Supernova
I'm the runway the whole entire stage
It is the day
I take the crown and you obey
I'm gonna pop bottles and celebrate

FASHIONOVA
Cause they fawn at my glow it feels so good
Hear the church bells ring for me
Even though I know the facades all a shell
Fashion fashion 
FASHIONOVA

Pose for the photoshoot, but don't freak
Welcome to Paris fashion week
(La soie Sophistiqué)
Just keep your time in your mind
(Before you)
Age that skin and perignon your sins away

Who are you to be destined for the stars
Who are you to think you could reach the bar
Will you fight the war for the crown

FASHIONOVA 
I'm gassing them all no mercy
Supernova
I'm the runway the whole entire stage
It is the day
I take the crown and you obey
I'm gonna pop bottles and celebrate

FASHIONOVA
Cause they fawn at my glow it feels so good
Hear the church bells ring for me
Even though I know the facades all a shell
Fashion fashion 
FASHIONOVA

Wanna drink, the night away
Douse this house, in red flames
Binge my fear, soon I'll lay
In my own, velvet shame

Who are you to be destined for the stars
Who are you to think you could reach the bar
Will you fight the war for the crown

FASHIONOVA
FASHIONOVA
Supernova (the bling, the bling)
Today is the day (watch your crown bitch)

FASHIONOVA 
I'm gassing them all no mercy
Supernova
I'm the runway the whole entire stage
It is the day
I take the crown and you obey
I'm gonna pop bottles and celebrate

Hear the church bells ring for me

Lyrics:

Look, but don't touch something I can't have
My eyes found the one, but you can't see past
Now I'm aware of your female taste
I tried to hide the pain
God bless my heart

Why, was I born this way
Me, destined for endless yearnin'
See, I don't play down low
I don't do fake bullshit
No, you shot my heart but it is what it is

I have too much to say
I could say my words or burn your face

IF I CAN'T HAVE U you you IF I CAN'T HAVE U
I'll light your body aflame
Watch our flames burn
Cause I gotta follow, what my heart says
IF I CAN'T HAVE U you you IF I CAN'T HAVE U
I'll pull out my range rover
Run you right over
I'll take you down to hell

No, I see the bible through your lies
You try to act like, a holy priest
I won't be stickin' around
Cause you're my lifeline I need u 
I know I sound real manic right now

Oh, your heart can turn, mmmm
Got nasty thoughts, teasing me up in my head
But just, a fantasy of a twisted mind
Not worth my deprived time
I don't care about kindness no more

I have too much to say
I could say my words or burn your face

IF I CAN'T HAVE U you you IF I CAN'T HAVE U
I'll light your body aflame
Watch our flames burn
Cause I gotta follow, what my heart says
IF I CAN'T HAVE U you you IF I CAN'T HAVE U
I'll pull out my range rover
Run you right over
I'll take you down to hell

That girl, that girl
She got everything and the man that I want
Dear God, dear God
Why was I born for this life
My man, my man
He's lost to the strays
Help me, help me
I'm losing this war

I have too much to say
I could say my words or burn your face

IF I CAN'T HAVE U you you IF I CAN'T HAVE U
I'll light your body aflame
Watch our flames burn
Cause I gotta follow, what my heart says
IF I CAN'T HAVE U you you IF I CAN'T HAVE U
I'll pull out my range rover
Run you right over
I'll take you down to hell

Lyrics:

Contradiction, is how we began
Permissive, a thought in my mind I can't escape
One we can not afford, You know
Friction, I applied the pressure made an addiction
I'm the starlet that you were missing
But now we're drifting apart

TABOO topic I can't say
TABOO words in my airway
TABOO thoughts you can't escape
We already know
TABOO heart you can't face
TABOO world you can't shake
TABOO life you won't admit
We already know

TABOO topic I can't say
TABOO words in my airway
TABOO thoughts you can't escape
We already know
TABOO heart you can't face
TABOO world you can't shake
TABOO life you won't admit
We already know

Best friend, I know you want to ditch your girlfriend
Don't keep secrets or CONFESSIONS from me
Cause I can see through the debris
Someday, you will be able to enjoy our risque
The nights we'd get down are just memories
Now I'm not your accessory, to the crime

TABOO topic I can't say
TABOO words in my airway
TABOO thoughts you can't escape
We already know
TABOO heart you can't face
TABOO world you can't shake
TABOO life you won't admit
We already know

TABOO topic I can't say
TABOO words in my airway
TABOO thoughts you can't escape
We already know
TABOO heart you can't face
TABOO world you can't shake
TABOO life you won't admit

Lyrics:

Bonjour I want to, drown out the sound of
Bickering and bitching, around me
I don't mind if they detest me
Cause I'm the FASHIONOVA
Why can't we dance
Paint a smile and move, move, move, move
Revolution, whether were high as hell or tame and tell
We're gonna link up, don't think just sing 

I ascend from the ashes
Like a phoenix ah ah
Were PSYCHOTRONIC 
Cause I love the textures of silk and leather
I descend from the heavens
BEN MERCEDEZ I am
Were PSYCHOTRONIC 
Cause I love the sound of bass and electric
I come from the west
Like a bandit ah ah
Were PSYCHOTRONIC 
Cause I love the sight of nuisance and sin
Watch as I come from above
This is BEN MERCEDEZ
I let them say what they want what they want

Give me a sign
If you wanna get loud tonight
Fuck it up dont worry about it its light tonight

Give me a sign
If you wanna get loud tonight
Fuck it up dont worry about it its light tonight

We diplomatic, we problem solving
I drink till i see magic
Were PSYCHOTRONIC 
Pop the corks and let it flow
That shit attractive
We PSYCHOTRONIC

Out of town, cross county
Highway, don't stop me
On fire, ash tray
Checkbook, cashed it
Paid up, lavish
My men, watch me
Private, show
Audition, honor roll

I need a man I can play with all day
Not one that doesn't enjoy riske
I need a snake I can call for triple kill
I'm so baked I don't know what's the deal
Cash in your hands, bricked in your pants
Flashlight on lights down low
Just two years, who cares
One more step we got to go

I just wanna PLAY ALL DAY
I just, I just wanna PLAY ALL DAY
I just wanna PLAY ALL DAY
I just, I just wanna PLAY ALL DAY
I just wanna PLAY ALL DAY
I just, I just wanna PLAY ALL DAY

White Plains, bike lanes
Uber, how classy
Don't ask, don't tell
Downtown, I come out

You know I have impure tastes
Always the first one in a haste
Lust don't mean a thing
Call it the hook up in full swing

I need a man I can play with all day
Not one that doesn't enjoy riske
I need a snake I can call for triple kill
I'm so baked I don't know what's the deal
Cash in your hands, bricked in your pants

X rated, convict
Criminal, damage minimal
Can't stop me, deprived
My reprise, bit the apple
Now the space got me feeling kind of whack
Am I on the right track
HEAVY HEART SYNDROME
Nauseated referendum
Hit me right back
Hit me right back

I need a man I can play with all day
Not one that doesn't enjoy riske
I need a snake I can call for triple kill
I'm so baked I don't know what's the deal
Cash in your hands, bricked in your pants

Lyrics:

I always knew it was you
You saw it in me too
We always loved our grooved lines
We were blessed from our signs
FUTURE LOVE SONG to be sung
I always thought even though=
You were so cold it could snow
At midnight it'd be us
We'd sneak out of the house
FUTURE LOVE SONG to be sung

It's not that you are too blinded for me babe
It's not because you were born to a cruel world
It's just that i cant watch me fall apart
When we could be writing our FUTURE LOVE SONG

Molotov or titos 
We'd down it all in a ball
And we'd say fuck the world
Then as no one was watching 
We'd share a kiss from above
I'd hail you my idol 
Though we had it all
We enjoyed our last joint
Falling asleep side by side
We sung our FUTURE LOVE SONG

It's not that you are too blinded for me babe
It's not because you were born to a cruel world
It's just that i cant watch me fall apart
When we could be writing our FUTURE LOVE SONG

Walk down memory lane 
I lay quadrupled in pain
How did I let this hurt 
Just a goodbye that won't work
No Radio to sirius 
No more secrets and dark confessions 
I want to live in this dream 
Of our FUTURE LOVE SONG
But that won't work
But that can't work

It's not that you are too blinded for me babe
It's not because you were born to a cruel world
It's just that i cant watch me fall apart
When we could be writing our FUTURE LOVE SONG

Lyrics:

Love, WONDERSTRUCK 
WONDERSTRUCK, like my creator
Lover from the equator
Let us begin
Love, WONDERSTRUCK
Take me to your dimension
Heavenly ascension
A lifetime I prayed

I promise I've been honest, you truly are the fondest
I lusted day and night, I need you past midnight 
Unlock your destiny, indulge so messily
You abide by the laws, I pride in your applause

Supernatural gift, it started with a kiss
Sculptures moonlight dancing, soon come alive
Night of the blood red moon, I'm not the only fool
Cry later in ashame, for now enjoy my game

Love, WONDERSTRUCK 
WONDERSTRUCK, like my creator
Lover from the equator
Let us begin
Love, WONDERSTRUCK
Take me to your dimension
Heavenly ascension
A lifetime I prayed

The prophet said to me, we were meant to be
Through damnation, we witness our creation
My sixth sense, senses your pretense
A lost boy, becomes my new play toy

You fight temptation, you lose the battle
For you are just a man, caught in my plan
You pray I scream you cry, I pray you scream I cry
I pray, I pray, lord take this curse away

Love, WONDERSTRUCK 
WONDERSTRUCK, like my creator
Lover from the equator
Let us begin
Love, WONDERSTRUCK
Take me to your dimension
Heavenly ascension
A lifetime I prayed

Repulsion, explosion
(Confide in me babe)
(All is safe within luxury)
Press the limits, all at my expense
(Damnation)
(We witnessed our creation)

Do you feel the rush of wonder
Your lust of neverending ponder
Do you feel the call from the other side
Kiss me goodbye before we're swept by the tide

Love, WONDERSTRUCK 
WONDERSTRUCK, like my creator
Lover from the equator
Let us begin
Love, WONDERSTRUCK
Take me to your dimension
Heavenly ascension
A lifetime I prayed

Love, WONDERSTRUCK 
WONDERSTRUCK, like my creator
Lover from the equator
Let us begin
Love, WONDERSTRUCK
Take me to your dimension
Heavenly ascension
A lifetime I prayed

(Your love, your love)
(Wonder, WONDERSTRUCK)
(Your love, your love)
(WONDERSTRUCK, WONDERSTRUCK)

Lyrics:

Backstage affair, the headlines they tear
A story of us, a picture perfect wedding 
Oh I lust, isn't it just so unjust 
You're the man I need, amongst the fans stampede
You see me in the crowd, rainbow through the clouds
Like a summer day, I'll be your salvatore

I need you in my life, you're my superstar
You can lock me behind bars, but I'll find you 
My only, only, ROCKSTAR
Demented and obsessive, oh I'm so possessive
I'll find you , lovely, lovely ROCKSTAR 
Fame and risque
I'm on the quest for all you have and more
Fame is forever, take on this endeavor
Always find you, my favorite, favorite, ROCKSTAR

Silver screen lover, you better take cover
A boy with ambition, always finishes the mission
I adore the flashing lights
Dance behind the scenes, I'm looking to be seen
A boy a magician, turns the engine on full ignition
I lust for your flashing lights

I need you in my life, you're my superstar
You can lock me behind bars, but I'll find you 
My only, only, ROCKSTAR
Demented and obsessive, oh I'm so possessive
I'll find you , lovely, lovely ROCKSTAR

LA bred we always come on top

You're my superstar
You can lock me behind bars, but I'll find you 
My only, only, ROCKSTAR
Demented and obsessive, oh I'm so possessive
I'll find you , lovely, lovely ROCKSTAR 

I need you in my life, you're my superstar
You can lock me behind bars, but I'll find you

Ignoring the vultures all they do is talk
American entrance she walks in with pride
She's a free spirit oh she's in for the ride, for the ride

Down the rabbit hole of endless lies
Don't try to save me

Lyrics:

I'm the LA hero, keep the weight zero
Epileptic always symmetric
I'm the primadonna, higher than life I'm the drama
Starlight I'm so electric
You're the obsessive, you get so aggressive
My life has become so hectic
You're the big spender, keep your veins tender
Hollywood's full of skeptics

Oh miss MARILYN
Hollywood priestess
Catch her on the billboards
Always being adored
Oh famed MARILYN
So addictive
America's new queen it's objective
It's a cruel world, not made for me or you
Some were born to be seen, enjoy piles of green
They say I've lost my soul
It's the price you pay for total control

I'm the diva front screen, had this dream since fifteen
Magazines I tore
We're the bourgeoisie, the elite and supreme
Oh boo you WHORE
Riddle me this, is ignorance bliss
Am I even human
VIVALDI plays, I live for your praise
California weather getting so humid

Oh miss MARILYN
Hollywood priestess
Catch her on the billboards
Always being adored
Oh famed MARILYN
So addictive
America's new queen it's objective
It's a cruel world, not made for me or you
Some were born to be seen, enjoy piles of green
They say I've lost my soul
It's the price you pay for total control

The orchestra plays, I'm in dismay
Contract with the devil gets you in trouble
The public turns affray, a star's final betray
We all started off as just another rebel
Will you watch as I spiral down under
Will you awe at the crowds deafening thunder
Am I just your commodity
I lost my own autonomy

Oh miss MARILYN
Hollywood priestess
Catch her on the billboards
Always being adored
Oh famed MARILYN
So addictive
America's new queen it's objective
It's a cruel world, not made for me or you
Some were born to be seen, enjoy piles of green
They say I've lost my soul

Lyrics:

Everything, I do lust
In time, I have to trust
Every man is a good man until he sees the one
Then I pull his trigger, I release his gun
Deception and protection are all he knows
Unravel them all I expose
Brewing inside my lonely heart
Soon I'll make him my sweet tart

Jealousy
Soon I'll release

'Cause I'm CONCEITED, CONCEITED
I'll take the throne, I'll be the one
'Cause I'm CONCEITED, CONCEITED
I want it all, I'll shoot the gun

(Shoot the gun, I'll be the one)

Fire in the rain, on a hell beant summer night
Ice in my veins as I take the final bite
It's all very lovely, when we get to know each other
Call me the parasite as I inject my, CYANIDE 
Birds flying out of my mouth voodoo doll to use
I'll take him down south, where I later introduce
A lovely new adventure where we get to know each other
Calls me his lover oh you better take cover

Jealousy
Soon I'll release

'Cause I'm CONCEITED, CONCEITED
I'll take the throne, I'll be the one
'Cause I'm CONCEITED, CONCEITED
I want it all, I'll shoot the gun

'Cause I'm CONCEITED, CONCEITED
I'll take the throne, I'll be the one
'Cause I'm CONCEITED, CONCEITED
I want it all, I'll shoot the gun

I have an infatuation for the untouchable
I only want what I can't have
Envy, won't, leave, me
I guess you could say that I've gone to shit
You would never understand my pretense
Jealousy, won't, leave, me

Now the boy he has to decide
Which road he will soon reside
Put on a brave face and lose control
Or wear the mask and bare her soul
Deep down I know the truth
The dark kind I don't dwell on
This game will never last
Kiss me goodbye I'm in the past

'Cause I'm CONCEITED, CONCEITED
I'll take the throne, I'll be the one
'Cause I'm CONCEITED, CONCEITED
I want it all, I'll shoot the gun

'Cause I'm CONCEITED, CONCEITED
I'll take the throne, I'll be the one
'Cause I'm CONCEITED, CONCEITED
I want it all, I'll shoot the gun

Lights out it's time to run
The thoughts come out past sun
loneliness and hunger is that all I possess
Carry me to my bed

Millions couldn't hold
Me captive from the thoughts that come late at night
Beauty and the rage
Got me blinded in the haze
Lay me in my dreams you come visit me at night

I wish I was YOUR GIRL
Ah ah ah

Can I be YOUR GIRL
I wish I was YOUR GIRL
Ah ah ah

I'll pierce your skin
I'm deep in your mind
Late at night, babe its you and I
We’ll get to know each other
Jealousy, jealousy and deceit
I'll never be her
I'm a PIECE OF MEAT
Baby boy, baby boy it's me
I'm your own reflection

Lyrics:

How have you gone missing
LOVESICK BOY
Why has your love gone away
Is the answer forever lost
LOVESICK BOY
You know I've gone astray

Every day I linger away
Lusting for the one
Every day I teeter halfway
Between life and the shooting gun

How have you gone missing
LOVESICK BOY
Why has your love gone away
Is the answer forever lost
LOVESICK BOY
You know I've gone astray

Someday we’ll run away
Or that's what you promised me
Someday I'll have the final say
I’ll be free from the dance we play

How have you gone missing
LOVESICK BOY
Why has your love gone away
Is the answer forever lost
LOVESICK BOY
You know I've gone astray

You'll meet me in the back
Yeah I'll just take off
They won't know
I can keep a secret
I have a few myself
Well I know we're different
But I can navigate that
We can both get something from this
No one has to know

How have you gone missing
LOVESICK BOY
Why has your love gone away
Is the answer forever lost

You know I've gone astray

Lyrics:

Follow me, be so carefree
Oh, life's so blessed with so much jubilee
Center stage, come see me play
I'll perform life's greatest, cliche

Paradise is what we could be
If it was only us two
They might say that were insane
They'll never understand our game

Down the hole, here I go again
I was lured into the lion's den
Learn from this, ignore pure bliss 
Don't be fooled by an untimely kiss

Paradise is what we could be
If it was only us two
They might say that were insane
They'll never understand our game

Come with me, let's be carefree
I lust for jewels and diamond fantasies
Take me there, I'll give you my share
You can corrupt me so, happily

Paradise is what we could be
If it was only us two
They might say that were insane
They'll never understand our game

Lyrics:

The chandelier fell on her
The lights lost in a blur 
This was the END OF TIMEs they warned
She would turn the television on 
It wouldn't outdo her wrongs
My head starts to spin around

Parade round the town I feel like the pharaoh of Cairo
Was the hurricane now you find me in the chateau  
I have fire in my mind living on borrowed time
Lonely nights I self destruct oh it's just my good luck

Nothing lasts forever
The world just keeps moving on
All I wanted was your love
No such thing as paradise
Baby it's the END OF TIME
I got lost on the climb

Poseidon used to rule the sea
Before we ravaged it with glee
Now it was the END OF TIME
Final farewell I bid
All the legacy they undid
They all laughed as I soon drowned
Beyond the grave I wonder
Was I their favorite thunder

Diamonds on my neck I guess I'm really living life
L.A. is on flames as I speed down the 405
When they find me in the hotel maybe they will know
Lonely nights I self destruct guess I reaped what I sowed

Nothing lasts forever
The world just keeps moving on
All I wanted was your love
No such thing as paradise
Baby it's the END OF TIME
I got lost on the climb

Standing on the ledge I look down see the hell of it
Sick of pretending I want to rule without love
I get so tired and scared of myself
Midnight it gets lonely I face the cards I was dealt

(I was dealt)

Nothing lasts forever
The world just keeps moving on
All I wanted was your love
No such thing as paradise
Baby it's the END OF TIME
I got lost on the climb

Nothing lasts forever
When you're the big spender
I leave with a final bow
'Cause baby it's the END OF TIME

Lyrics:

Don't you cry when it is done
The moon always eclipses the sun
In night the angel spreads its wings
The world moves onto better things
Don't you cry miss MARILYN
Born to blossom soon perish
It's a sign of the times we live in
Break a bone and make a wish

They called me a star
I shined from here to Mars
I was born to ambition
I wanted what I couldn't have
No one asked if I was ok 

Don't you cry when it is done
The moon always eclipses the sun
In night the angel spreads its wings
The world moves onto better things
Don't you cry miss MARILYN
Born to blossom soon perish
It's a sign of the times we live in
Break a bone and make a wish

Take a dive deep in the pond
Throw your soul away in fog
Try to lose it in the music
Gone to soon another lunatic 
Take your violets, reds and blues
Or keep dancing in those shoes
Take us to church tear it down
You were always the saddest clown

Lyrics:

VERONICA on a pedestal
Why am I jealous of you, I feel so small
You got the boys on their knees for you
And I'm left in the gutter blue

VERONICA I'm so happy for you
I would kill just for a sliver of the
Attention you so always receive

You'll never know my fear
Of talking to the monsters underground
You don't look in the mirror
And see a boy who's LOST NOT FOUND

VERONICA oh he calls for you
You got him on a string he adores you
To him I was just a mere experiment

VERONICA oh the girls are jealous
They want your man we're overzealous
You better watch behind his back before we attack

You'll never know my fear
Of talking to the monsters underground
You don't look in the mirror
And see a boy who's LOST NOT FOUND

You'll never know my fear
Of talking to the monsters underground
You don't look in the mirror
And see a boy who's LOST NOT FOUND

Oh and if I could I would be you
Just for a day I'd feel the power run
Deep through my veins it'd be so true
Living life without a care in the sun

Lyrics:

Two lovers dance
They engage in a sultry romance
I'm a lovesick boy, he's a lovesick guy
I don't know his name
But I'm willing to play his game
I'm a desperate boy, just another toy, yeah

I was born to feel the rush 
To live fast and die young in love
I was born to feel the rush
I was born to feel his crush

I think I like this WICKED AFFAIR
This WICKED AFFAIR
Oh woah oh
I think I like this WICKED AFFAIR
This WICKED AFFAIR
Oh woah oh

Our bodies meet
They groove and twist wickedly
Do you feel the heat, do you feel my lust
Only at night
Do we unleash the animal 
If I told you my dream would you free me

I was born to feel the rush 
To live fast and die young in love
I was born to feel the rush
I was born to feel his crush

I think I like this WICKED AFFAIR
This WICKED AFFAIR
Oh woah oh
I think I like this WICKED AFFAIR
This WICKED AFFAIR
Oh woah oh

It's a full moon
Our bodies intune 
Explore fantasies we never knew
I trust in you I give to you
My mind and my body for you to consume

It's a full moon
Our bodies intune 
Explore fantasies we never knew
I trust in you I give to you
My mind and my body for you to consume

I think I like this WICKED AFFAIR
This WICKED AFFAIR
Oh woah oh
I think I like this WICKED AFFAIR
This WICKED AFFAIR
Oh woah oh

I think I like this WICKED AFFAIR

Lyrics:

Take a trip inside my mind
My darkest secrets I confide
If I let you in will you be the one to save my life

Midnight in the summer
We are forbidden lovers
Will you hold on tight and
Save me from the end

Bound by space and time will you save me from the void
Delicate condition can you free me from the noise
With your cold elixir,
I'm your midnight rider,
Your AMOR
If I fall I sink you push you pick me up again
We touch we kiss we fall deeper down in sin
We don't keep it discreet,
In the thankless heat
Your AMOR

You found me at the darkest
But your lighter lit up my world
I ask is it real the flame
Or am I another victim of your game

Midnight in the summer
We are forbidden lovers
Will you hold on tight and
Save me from the end

Bound by space and time will you save me from the void
Delicate condition can you free me from the noise
With your cold elixir,
I'm your midnight rider,
Your AMOR
If I fall I sink you push you pick me up again
We touch we kiss we fall deeper down in sin
We don't keep it discreet,
In the thankless heat
Your AMOR

Through the night we bicker and we fight
Two lovers flying in stormy kites
I found out you aren't the one
Who can save me from my plight

Bound by space and time will you save me from the void
Delicate condition can you free me from the noise
With your cold elixir,
I'm your midnight rider,
Your AMOR
If I fall I sink you push you pick me up again
We touch we kiss we fall deeper down in sin
We don't keep it discreet,
In the thankless heat
Your AMOR
