Schadenfreude
c. '12 Vlayman
Spent every second of every minute of every day
Thinkin' about the way you always had to have yer say
In my face you put me in my place you always got yer way
Schadenfreude 3x
Went to the top, you know it was a hard climb
Worked my way on up, but then I ran out of time
Something was rotten and I fell to the bottom, you always got yer way
Schadenfreude 6x
Ran every race that a man with one leg could run,
Played every game even though I never had no fun
Competition was a tradition to be number one, I never got my way
Schadenfreude 9x

One God Further
c. '12 Vlayman
You think you been searching for who's answering
I look at you and think you just been dancing
You think you're doing everything alright
I think you might be OK just for tonight
CH:
I never
I said I never wanted to burn her
But she was lookin' for
Just One God Further
You paid a penny to get into the temple
You never bothered to look at the burnin' steeple
You thought everything was in the holy water
You didn't know they led the lambs to slaughter
CH
You thought you was gonna go to heaven
All they thought about was gettin' even
CH 4x

Smilin' Like Sin
c. 12 Vlayman
She wears that silk like she was born in it
I need to touch her hair
There's no denying the scent of it
I need to keep her here
I got to let her in
Let 'er in again
I got to let her in
She's smilin' like sin
She wears the gold like it's the cheap shit
She needs platinum to match her hair
I really thought that I was over it
Until she touched ss
right there
Some women seem born to have children
Some women seem born to always win
Some women make me wanna run the other way
Some women make me wanna go again

Universal
c. '12 Vlayman
Speechifyin' don' t really mean you know what yer talkin' about
If it's important, just one sound is all ya really gotta shout
shout it out
All yer cryin' don't really mean that you know what it is to regret
And if yer dyin' then you really oughta look forward to it
Shout it out
There ain't nothin' universal
There ain't nothin' that applies to all
And if life is just rehearsal
You better believe we done it all
We done it all
All yer laughin' don't really mean you understand what's been
happenin'
And if yer laughin' at us then you really can't be understandin'
nothin'
Shout it out

c. '12 Vlayman
And they see just where they think they're goin'
And they think that it's how the wind is blowin'
They can't get enuff of the stuff
They can't get enuff of enuff
And you see everything that ain't showin'
And you know how it is they're goin'
You can't get enuff of the stuff
You can't get enuff of enuff
And I know where it is y'all are goin'
And I know everything worth knowin'
I can't get enuff of the stuff
I can't get enuff of enuff
(just like) You can't get enuff of the stuff
You can't get enuff of enuff
They can't get enuff of the stuff
They can't get enuff of enuff
You can't get enuff of the stuff
You can't get enuff of enuff
I can't get enuff of the stuff
I can't get enuff of enuff

Vlayman Chicago, Illinois
Fat, bald and old - could I be anymo' rock-n-roll?
I play guitar, bass, some keys and percussion, and I try to
vocalize. I write and record, and I do so obsessively. Also, I like martoonies, a lot, and I raise my kids, whom I also like, a lot.
Look for me at the TapeOp and TalkBass forums, where I'm vvv, or in various bars in the Loop.
