KILLING TIME
You're the one with all the answers
and you've found a plan for what was.
Ain't it funny how you're always knocking
on the wrong people not the right doors but then you're just
Killing Time...
Just Killing Time.
After mistakes are said and done
you thought it was time for some fun.
But it's only funny how nothing else feels
like the dust in my eyes while you spin your wheels.
You're just Killing Time...
Just Killing Time.
Grab for the knife that I won't give to you -
Go for the gun but I won't die with you.
I know what desperation can do
and I will stay far away - away from you.

NOTHING ELSE MATTERS
Just another silence broken,
Talking of precious times.
I start to think about black and white movies and
All of my favorite lines.
Dancing with desire…no, no, no
It’s more like love here ever after.
Whenever I inquire
All I get is laughter but
Nothing Else Matters
Nothing Else Matters
Nothing Else Matters when I’m with you.
I make every fact obey
Until even the little things read right.
I live days over and away I go
Swept into a sweet dreamy night.
Warm winds ain’t the only thing
Taking my breath away from me.
Every new memory is seconds away from me and
Nothing Else Matters
Nothing Else Matters
Nothing Else Matters when I’m with you.

CALLING
You say it’s not the right thing to do,
But I say I don’t see it like you do.
I think love is a dangerous thing
That’s pushing me to the brink.
And I keep Calling but you don’t hear –
Calling, Calling but you’re not there.
I keep Calling but you don’t hear –
Yeah, I’m Calling but you’re nowhere.
It’s like an addiction to a joyless drug
I want to kick the habit, yeah, I’ve had enough.
But lately it’s raining all the time
And I feel you trickle across my mind.
And I keep Calling but you don’t hear –
Calling, Calling but you’re not there.
I keep Calling but you don’t hear –
Yeah, I’m Calling but you’re nowhere.
Doesn’t matter how loud I scream
You will never hear me.
Doesn’t matter whose side I’m on
When everything keeps changing.

WITHOUT YOU HERE
This crazy wind is blowing me thoughts of you tonight,
And every star in the sky sets fire to feelings I won’t fight.
It reminds me of yesterday –
How I burned when I heard your name,
Back when you were far away but now –
I get along fine Without You Here with me.
I can keep track of time Without You Here with me.
There are few happy endings but I know one or two.
It happens in the rooms of my heart,
I think that it can happen with you.
This might be a gentle madness,
Well me, I won’t guess and I won’t settle for less.
I get along fine Without You Here with me.
I can keep track of time Without You Here with me.
My world won’t melt away Without You Here with me
Even though it feels like the desert Without You Here with me.
It’s a perfect picture of timeless things…
Now I really see all you mean to me
And how I want you to be right here with me.

FARTHER AWAY
Today is the last day of winter
I always will remember
Everything you said.
The promises you broke
On the last day of winter
It’s what I half-expected
But don’t expect for me to run back to you.
You know, I hate it when you self-destruct
But if you feel you must
I won’t watch one more moment.
And the end is closer than you think
When every single drink brings you one step closer…
Farther Away
Farther Away from here.
Today, on the last day of winter
All the leaves are down
But the birds have come back around
And there’s hope
On the last day of winter
For things that are dead to come back to life again.
Farther Away
Farther Away from here

ORBIT
Maybe we don’t dream the same dreams
I know we don’t see the same things.
But I have tried to hold you here in some safe place.
I don’t think you want it dear
From the look on your face, yeah.
The world goes around and you get around
Don’t you babe, in your little space
you will Orbit.
Your world goes around while you get around
It’s okay in your reckless space
you will Orbit.
I look in your eyes for some light –
I want to see what goes on inside.
Here in this life you throw away
What good are words I say?
You won’t listen to me when all you have left is nothing.
Still…
The world goes around and you get around
Don’t you babe, in your little space
you will Orbit.
Your world goes around while you get around
It’s okay in your reckless space
you will Orbit.
I go crazy watching you lose again
Running a race I’ll never understand.
You can’t help it but yes you can.
You can’t help it but yes you can.
Moving so fast but what’s the use?
You don’t see the answers
You can’t find the clues.
Flying so high but what good is it
When you’re still stuck in the same damn Orbit.

TELL ME
Tell Me in that special voice for strangers –
Tell Me how the Sun sets where you are.
Saints and sinners, we walk as one
And it doesn’t matter
The past is done
so c’mon
Tell Me
Time won’t wait for anyone.
Tell Me
How you feel right now.
Now I see we held back too much.
Night after night for years
I dreamed of what I might hear
So c’mon.
Tell Me
Time won’t wait for anyone.
Tell Me
How you feel right now.
Emotions find there place
And I can feel hearts continue to race
So c’mon
Tell Me
Time won’t wait for anyone.
Tell Me
How you feel right now.

REMAIN THE SAME
Every child has her sweet dream
And it’s no different for you and me.
We search our hearts, go where they lead.
And each new day will bring new things
Still, I know
Time goes on and on
Things may change
But the feelings I have for you
Remain the Same.
There’s a certain balance to the scale
A moving message in the dance.
There’s a fragile bond that never fails
A durable fire, a touch of romance
So in know…
Time goes on and on
Things may change
But the feelings I have for you
Remain the Same.
I don’t know what the future might bring –
All I know is I will always believe.

All This Love

ALL THIS LOVE
There’s a strange kind of comedy here.
It keeps me laughing while others fear
I’ll go crazy on this path I’m on-
Feel the Earth move and be gone
But no, no, no
I’m only looking in his eyes again –
only dancing in our private heaven.
If there’s one thing I know for sure
It’s the one thing I don’t want to cure –
All This Love
All This Love
It’s a feeling I just can’t shake.
Like the mist around the Moon
I seem to beam from things we do.
I used to read between the lines
And never liked what I would find
But now every touch, every work he may say
Makes everyone else fade away.
If there’s one thing I know for sure –
It’s the one thing I don’t want to cure.
All This Love
All This Love
It’s a feeling I just can’t shake.
And I know
All This Love
All This Love
Is the kind that is here to stay…
It’ll never go away.
Nothing is quite like it was before-
All of a sudden someone matters more and more.
Nothing holds me like you do.
If there’s one thing I know for sure –
It’s the one thing I don’t want to cure.
All This Love

Love Riot Baltimore, Maryland
Formed in Baltimore in 1994 by singer Lisa Mathews and guitarist Mikel Gehl, Love Riot came to epitomize the sweet and sophisticated pop sounds emanating from countless mix format radio stations in the 1990s. While the band persistently flirted with success in that genre through well-placed television exposure and constant performances, they went on an indefinite sabbatical in 1999. - J. Duffy ... more
