Cover Up 05:03
COVER UP (C.Kerrigan) Short skirt, midriff shows your tan Are you out there looking for a man Why you out so late? Wolf whistles, cat calls, you smile. If you don’t they’ll only make you cry Sometimes you cry Oh you better cover up your skin, Cover up our sins Oh you better cover up your skin, Cover up our sins Don’t look at me in that tone, Do it again I’ll take you home (let me take you home) Cover your hair, your smile, your face. If I see it I’ll only want a taste Don’t be distracting – you’re distracting me Jesus girl don’t you have no shame, Can’t you see you’re the only one to blame, I warned you You’re on display for the world to judge, We’ll choose desire or disgust It’s up to us

Metaphor 03:39
METAPHOR (C.Kerrigan) Write me a metaphor, make an allusion, Tell me anything but what you really mean Write me a metaphor Write me a metaphor, make an allusion Write me a metaphor Words are your weapons, you spin them around to suit yourself You’re a magician, a sculptor, a thief, You take what you want and then make the story fit Lies are your poison, you spread them around so gracefully They drip from your mouth and they cover my skin There is no antidote

DEVIL'S GOT YOUR SOUL (C.Kerrigan) Long nights on your own Waiting just to get back home Lonely motel rooms that never end Broken hearts that never seem to mend You can’t make it on your own So it’s one more for the road Devils got your soul You listen to the calling You can’t wait for the morning light It’s all there for the taking It whispers till it breaks you Desperation makes the strong fall It’s an addiction you can’t fight it any more You promise it’s your last But the truth is in your past You couldn’t leave now if you wanted to The Devil she has caught you

Seasons 03:21
SEASONS (C.Kerrigan) Winter comes with it's driving rain It’s cold in here, all I feel is our pain Bring the winds back, the swirling leaves collecting at my feet When the storm breaks I’ll be standing here Don’t leave me behind Now you’ve found your new direction I’m falling behind Can’t keep up with your seasons I’m frozen here in the aftermath of your self destruction God only knows what happened this time Bent and broken, torn apart and cast out to the wind When the storm breaks will I be standing here? Bring the winds back Bring the winds back

You 04:55
YOU (C.Kerrigan) Sometimes it’s just the little things that tear me up, tear me down. Days can pass, tasks come and go. Then a memory steals in, I see your name, hear you whispering in the wind. Your breath still lingers in the cobwebs of my mind The sea is angry tonight, are you casting your net, looking for another way in? You don’t need to cause a fuss - you never did, you’re always welcome here. The white buds on the baby camellia Announce the season of your arrival They’re small and tender, delicate and new Like you, they disperse in the window of my soul You’re always on my mind Sometimes it’s just the little things That tear me up, tear me down Years can pass, we’re growing old But your memory never fades I see your name, hear your footsteps in the breeze You’re always on my mind
