1.0 Jack is not a Ripper

jack is not a ripper, 

jack only goes crazy from time to time, 

takes a girl home 

and doesn't bring her away anymore, 

his garden is big, 

he is constantly working on it

the girl are always beautiful 

and from a bar out of town, 

jack thinks about 

just being friendly 

and bringing a girl home after the date

but his desire to let them

fall asleep and to bury

them in the garden is bigger

jack is not a ripper

jack is a sleeper

wakes up to play at night

3.0 Through my Veins ( with Sua Tamkin)

(Harvey)

through my veins

you shoot through

see you up in my heart

    and stuck you there

    get it out of sync

    times one two three

    times two three one

    through my veins

    through me

(Sua)

i breathe you in

close my eyes

    and breathe out

    hear what you say

    and spread my arms

    hold on tight

    don't let go

    find me again

    in happiness and colors

    my heart is leaping

    it
