Orange Wedge "Death Comes Slowly"

(lyrics self-transcribed)

* From album: "Wedge" 

Empty, I've just left my room

Leaving my heart from hand of doom

Well, my baby, she's gonna cry

'Cause, she'll see

I'm gonna die

Well, I've gotta see my woman one last time

Yes, I've gotta see my woman one last night

I'm gonna die, this is it, no second chance

And in this, I can't even change my mind

And see, I can't even open my eyes

Got a burning feeling deep inside

Well, I'm dragging in the pits of despair

And this mess, I don't think it's fair

Well, I've gotta see my woman one last time

Yes, I've gotta have my woman one more night

I'm gonna die, this is it, no second chance

And in this, I can't even change my mind

[Change my mind] 3x

[Death comes slowly] 2x

Death

And see, I can't even open my eyes

Got a burning feeling deep inside

Well, I'm dragging in the pits of despair

And this mess, I don't think it's fair

Well, I've gotta see my woman one last time

Yes, I've gotta have my woman one more night

I'm gonna die, this is it, no second chance

And in this, I can't even change my mind

[Change my mind] 3x

Death comes so slowly

[Death comes slowly] 2x

Death

Orange Wedge "Love Me"

(lyrics found and modified)

* From album: "Wedge"

All my life, always run

I'm never gonna see 

You don't know what you're looking for

Please, do your looking with me

I've got a long time to go on

But I don't know what I'll find

I wish I'd answer my own questions 

And I wouldn't need much time

And I could tell you how to love me

And I'd never make you sad

We'd get the kind of loving

You said we never had

A stone heart was what I had

But now you made me cry

You're leaving today 

Babe, I gotta see you try 

We've got a long time to go on

I don't know what we'll find

Let's try to answer our own questions

And we won't need no time

I could tell you how to love me

And I'd never make you sad

We'd get the kind of loving

You said we never had

Orange Wedge "Revenge"

(lyrics self-transcribed)

* From album: "Wedge"

Looking out my window at the falling rain

Hoping things might work out before winter again

I'm going through all my thoughts here

And there's quite a few

But why do I sit and wonder 

While there's nothing left to do? 

And if you would only see 

What it means to me

We could be so happy

Just making things work out our way and laughing

[Laughing] 3x

Please still be with me in the falling rain

Loving like we used to, don't want no games

Well, we both have our thoughts here

And I know there's quite a few

But why do we sit and wonder? 

There's so much for me and you

And if you would only see

Just what it means to me

We could be so happy

Just making things work out our way and laughing

[Laughing] 3x

Orange Wedge "Keep On Livin' "

(lyrics self-transcribed)

* From album: "Wedge"

Gotta get up every morning 

Can't let the man down

Got to work all day

Can't wear no frown

Got a long-legged woman

Well, she wants the best from me

Well, I give her all I can

But she is still not free

I gotta keep on livin'

Well, I've got to survive

I gotta keep on livin'

Just to stay alive

I gotta leave my job

Well, I don't know if I should

Find a new way of livin'

But I don't know if I could

Can't forget my long-legged woman

And she expects a lot from me

Well, I give her all I can

But she's still not free

[I gotta keep on livin'

Well, I've got to survive

I gotta keep on livin'

Just to stay alive] 3x

I gotta keep on livin' 

And lovin', lovin' and livin'

Gotta keep on livin' all the time

Keep on livin'

Well, I've got to survive

I gotta keep on livin'

Just to stay alive

Livin'

Keep on livin'
