All music and all lyrics by Thomas McCay
Scarlet Angel ("Silverbow Publishing")
When I lay me down to sleep I pray I’m strong enough to keep
my deamons, all inside.
But when the night is still and dark a flame ignites within my heart
and how am I supposed to Hide?
When the Scarlet Angel sings
in a language ancient and rare.
I long to spread my hunters wings
to slice the preditory air
to slice, the air...
The Ugly Little Man
I’m an ugly little man I’ve got a nsty little job
I’m just the office manager but around here I’m God.
I love to wield my power I swear it gets me high
to raise my voice and slam the desk until the girls in the office cry...
She fights to be Herself
Every night at the same time, she turns down the light
sits in the dark, rolls up a smoke, waiting ‘til the time is right.
Sometime around midnight she clicks her heels down the street
Holds her head high smiles at all them dirty guys
as she slips into the club and takes her seat.
She loves dancing in the shadows where the mirrors tell such lies
they hold a girl in their warm embrace and they see with sympathetic eyes
That she is a he, now isn’t that funny
When all she every wanted is to be her self
She is a he but only in her body
at a time when everybody wants to be somebody else.
She fights to be herself...
