![]() Haunted (2000) [ larger cover art ] |
Well it's 3 am I'm out here riding again
Through the wicked, winding streets of my world
I make a wrong turn, break it
Now i'm too far gone
I've got a siren on my tail
And that ain't the fine I'm lookin for
I see a stairway so I follow it down
Into the belly of a whale where my secrets echo all around
You know me now, but to do better than that
You got to follow me
Boy I'm trying to show you where I'm at
Hey pretty, don't you wanna take a ride with me
Through my world
Hey pretty, don't you wanna kick and slide
Through my world
Well I got a mind full of wicked designs
I got a non-stop hole in my head-imagination
I'm in a building that has 2000 floors
And when they all fall down
I think you know it's you they're fallin for
I can't forget I am my sole architect
I built the shadows here
I built the growlin voice I fear
You add it up, but to do better than that
You got to follow me
Boy I'm trying to show you where i'm at
Hey pretty, don't you wanna take a ride with me
Through my world
Hey pretty, don't you wanna kick and slide
Through my world
Hey pretty, my pretty baby
Rock it through my world
Hey pretty, my pretty baby
Rock it through my world
Hey now can't you feel me longing
(do you get the gist of this song now)
Hey now can't you feel me
Feel me
Hey pretty, hey pretty, hey pretty baby
Don't you wanna take a ride with me
Don't you wanna take a ride with me
My baby
Don't you wanna take a ride with me
My pretty baby
My baby
Don't you wanna
Rock it through my world
Don't you wanna take a ride with me
My baby
Don't you wanna
My baby
Don't you wanna take a ride with me

| mikeyj | Posted: Mar 16, 2013 - 19:52 I would suggest reading the Wiki page on Poe. Classic tale of an artist getting f*d by the system. |

| uccprince | Posted: Jan 31, 2012 - 23:58 Had a crush on Annie in college but never had the nerve (she was the artsy girl that always seemed hard to approach for this country boy) ... then fell in love with her music nearly 10 years later when this album was released, which happened to coincide with the loss of my father. Another 10+ years and the music is still moving, touching, and sexy all at the same time. Thanks to RP for giving me something that I continue to enjoy and is still "haunting" (reminds me of the period after the tragic loss of my father). Hope that she finds success fighting the recording industry. |

You can take me for a ride any time, Poe. 9 from the smitten Nottingham jury The album as a whole is a solid 10, and very moving, written as it was after the death of her father. I'm not ashamed to admit that I was blubbing as the last track faded away. This woman knows how to write songs and express emotion. The remix of this song with her brother is even better, IMO. His part in that song is a passage from his book "House of Leafs," the book and this album are companion pieces. |

| Jelani (Home of the freak, land of the vague) | Posted: Jan 27, 2010 - 16:18 I think I like the other version with the guys' narrative included. And that "do you get the gist of the song now" thing just ruins it. Let the innuendo speak for itself.Otherwise it ain't innuendo. "Next time don't be so f***ing eager!" |
