Sex O’clock (Song + Lyrics)

[Verse 1]
You’re always pulling me close to you, baby
You’re always pulling me down
I’m always close to your legs, baby
I’m always going down

It’s always sex o’clock in the morning
It’s always sex o’clock at night
Even in the middle of the day, honey
You’re always asking for the tick-tock

[Chorus]
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Tick-tock, tick-tock
We’re always burning up the whole clock

Tick-tock, tick-tock
Tick-tock, tick-tock
You’re always asking for my whole clock

[Verse 2]
I’m always tired after midnight
You never give a damn about my dream-time
You’re always asking for another time
Which always leads to another night

You don’t give a shit about my job
So I don’t give a shit about yours
If your boss asks why you’re late tomorrow
Just tell him you found a new toy

[Chorus 2]
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Tick-tock, tick-tock
We’re always burning up the whole clock

Tick-tock, tick-tock
Tick-tock, tick-tock
You’re always asking for my whole clock

Tick-tock, tick-tock
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Damn, you’re always asking for the whole clock

Tick-tock, tick-tock
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Damn, you’re always asking for my whole clock

Tick-tock, tick-tock
Tick-tock, tick-tock
Damn, you’re always taking my whole clock

Damn, you’re always taking my whole clock
Damn, you’re always taking my whole clock
Damn, nobody else can take my whole clock

Damn, nobody else can take my whole clock

Misery (Song + Lyrics)

[Verse 1]
You made a mistake when you went away
You made the first when you said you’d stay
There’s not a day when I don’t sit and pray
Wishing you never ever walked my way

[Pre-Chorus]
You’re not the best thing
And you’re not my everything
But you are a piece of me
And you are
You are
You are
You are my misery

[Chorus]
You are my misery (8x)

[Verse 2]
I wanna tell you that you ain’t the shit
But then you’d probably call me a bitch
I thought you got married already
But you keep checking up on me

I’m doing better since I’m through with you
Tell me now if that’s the same for you
Don’t think it is because you don’t speak truths
I know that because I know you

[Bridge]
Your husband probably thinks you’re meek and shy
He probably thinks that you like younger guys
Your husband probably thinks you’re chill and fly
He doesn’t know you dream of other guys

[Pre-Chrous]
You’re not the best thing
And you’re not my everything
But you are a piece of me
And you are
You are
You are
You are my misery

[Chorus]
You are my misery (8x)
You are misery
You are my misery (6x)

[Ad Lib]

You are
You are
You are
You are just misery

Bohemian Nights

By Sirishty Thakur & Benjamin Grossman

What is love?
I venture for the search,
Hovering above the restrictions,
Masquerading feelings,
Packing the streets and theaters.

In the shadows of the city lights,
The subtle touch of elation,
Tempered by the night’s venom.
A parade of tamers lurking to fragment dreams,
To seek the hook for their puppet master.

There’s always a cage for joyous affairs,
Some subjugation of our bohemian nights.

But I still reach possessively for the moment, as the pendulum strikes.
Eternity vibrant in your eyes,
Unwavering in my faith that love is untamable.

Simple Lovemaking Directions

1. Slowly … melt the pole of the Frozen North.

2. Travel and/or dock along the borders, consisting of

the West Coast and the Eastern Seaboard.

3. Move inland, flooding the Deep South.

4. Abandon or go down with the ship.

5. Drown, even, if you must. Or …

6. Float safely skyward toward the heavens.
