Safe House
Hyperestis
You're my secret contact Silently counting backward Waiting for the password Waiting for the password I gave you information You heightened my elation Invited me into your listening station Under covers Sharing secret whispers Keeping you apprised Removing your disguise Inside information You have ways to make me.. talk Use your tactics on me Pick. my. lock. Quid pro quo - my double oh oh ohhhh My double oh Under covers Sharing secret whispers Keeping you apprised Removing your disguise Out in the cold We'll meet again I'm certain When I go beyond your curtain I know that there's no loyalty When the call comes it's you or me No place I'd rather be No place I'd rather be No place I'd rather be No place I'd rather be No place I'd rather be

Loneliness Is A Poison
Hyperestis
Loneliness is a poison Loneliness is a poison Loneliness is a poison Loneliness is a poison Delivered by a kiss If I start to get too close Always remember this They say that I'm a toxin But I can't imagine why Isn't it delightful As I wetly suck you dry Detached and very delicate I seem beautiful and tragic And it helps me to attract The substance that I lack You turned your back on me. No one turns their back on me. I have to ask, what did you think was gonna happen? You say that I'm a toxin Your face against my thigh Is it really so frightful As I wetly suck you dry You say that I'm a toxin Your face against my thigh Is it really so frightful As I wetly suck you dry Loneliness is a poison Delivered by a kiss If I start to get too close Always remember this I have to ask, what did you think was gonna happen?

Ghost Like Me
Hyperestis
I'm unnatural I've slipped between your thoughts The strangeness in me grows As your sense of order rots I have the answers The things you'd rather not face I have sighs and whispers About my fall from grace (my fall from grace) You've never danced with a ghost like me I'll tie you in knots to set you free Chained to the devil in the endless night It's Hell for you, for me, just right I'm seductive My temptation tongue in your lips Mesmerize with ancient eyes Fascinate with my hips (my fingertips) I have needs Their depths know no bounds They could drown you Under lover's soothing sounds You've never danced with a ghost like me I'll tie you in knots to set you free Chained to the devil in the endless night It's Hell for you, for me, just right At first I'm your angel on cobweb wings Later I whisper forbidden things You just needed a push to hasten your fall My privilege to sound the siren's call Ghost like me Fall from grace Fall from grace Fall from grace

O Diva
Hyperestis
Artificial negligence Try to ignore her elegance Your locus of control Is subject to her pull Leaving her cold Is getting old She has the grace to let you win But you're too diseased to let her in She's lost but she knows the way through She knows who she is and what she means to you You think you have the higher ground But you don't even have a clue O Diva, she wastes her love on you It's the same justification When you withhold admiration This thing you do Has never worked for you Her head's on straight and she knows the score Everyone wants her but you're such a bore You aren't being smart, When you pick her apart She's lost but she knows the way through She knows who she is and what she means to you You think have her pulse But you really haven't a clue Oh Diva, her song is not for you She's lost but she knows the way through She knows who she is and what she means to you You think you have the higher ground But you don't even have a clue O Diva, she wastes her love on you

Your Contact
Hyperestis
Your contact Your eyes meeting mine Communicate our contract How you left me behind You tell me where I stand I could twitch and eyelid To speak my demand But you couldn't understand You want me in my place Stitched-up lips across my face You haven't any mercy And you haven't any grace Eye contact But I see you're just a stone? I saw you there with her But we both know you're alone

I'm Eternal
Hyperestis
Your face is flushed And your behavior is erratic You can't hide your blush Because it's automatic We're going to collide Like oncoming traffic So why not drop the act Try to accept the fact I'm magnetic You're kinetic This is going to hurt But we won't forget it Eyes dilate Limbs exsanguinate These things happen When you stay out late Bored with the dance Impatient with romance I want to feel you on me I want to feel you on me I'm eternal Nocturnal And you've kept me waiting Long enough

Charm Offensive
Hyperestis
Left me alone No friends of my own So I'll take whatever remains Scraps, debris, and stains Charm offensive I'll win your friends with my smile Watch me seduce and beguile Charm offensive Watch out, this will get expensive They have me on their speed dial Because I drip with class and style Gave me no choice Left me here, I've lost my voice But your girl loves the way I sing I hope you feel my sting You're so defensive But my care is intensive Can't share my love with you So here's what I plan to do Charm offensive Last night was so festive Danced with your friends all night Made them doubt if your head is right Charm offensive I'll win your friends with my smile Watch me seduce and beguile Charm offensive Watch out, this will get expensive They have me on their speed dial Because I drip with class and style
