LYRICS

• DANCING DARK DELILAH

  Words & Music Ivy Raye

  
  

  When she was just a baby girl

  No one paid her much attention

  Now brittle shells protect the pearl

  Her hidden past a smoking gun… (CHORUS)

  She’s a dancing dark Delilah

  Flashing lights, twirling in the night

  Dancing dark Delilah

  Nights are long, but the money’s right

  And every night the beat plays on

  Her fingernails and lips bright red

  Dancing to a number one song

  Nights are long, but the kids are fed (CHORUS)

  Now she wishes for a second chance

  Maybe even a new romance

  Dancing, dreaming all through the night

  Dream on Delilah till you get it right

  Dancing dark Delilah

  Flashing lights, twirling in the night

  Dancing dark Delilah

  Nights are long, but the money’s right

  Dancing dark Delilah

  Hits the lights, twirls through the night

  Dancing dark Delilah

  Dream on Delilah…till you see the light. TO SEE THE VIDEO, CLICK LINK BELOW:

• JACK & JILL

  Words & Music Ivy Raye

  Jack ‘n Jill run fast up the hill

  Trying to escape their father

  They were battered, bruised and bleeding

  Little billy blue and sister sue

  They step on lines and step on cracks

  They’re breaking spines and breaking backs

  Now Jack is so cold and hungry

  And Jill is all black and blue

  Yes, it’s so sad, because it’s true

  And you just don’t want to hear me

  Let’s go see Hansel and Gretel

  Watch them, with their mother wrestle

  She’s breaking backs, because there’s no crack

  And their daddy died under the trestle

  Jack is still cold and so hungry

  And Jill is still black and blue

  Yes, it’s so sad, because it’s true

  And you, still, don’t want to hear me

  Now Jack and Jill will take a pill

  To try and escape their pain

  They’ll drink, do drugs, so they won’t feel

  But, nothing will stop the rain

  Now Jack and Jill will take a pill

  To try and escape their pain

  They’ll drink, do drugs, till they won’t feel

  But, they just can’t stop the rain

  Only God can stop the pain

• ALL I CAN DO

  Words Ivy Raye Music Josh Moody

  It is not my job to save you

  From all the demons chasing you

  All of your money, what’s it for?

  It’ll never open heaven’s door

  A star’s a light, shines in the night

  We’re free to be like birds in flight

  Maybe your money, makes wrongs right

  Money back , guaranteed, it’s time to fight (CHORUS)

  As long as I live…all I can do

  Hold back the tears…all I can do

  Hold back the years…all I can do

  Try to still give…all I can do

  Because all of your money

  And all of your fame

  Will never, God’s wrath, tame

  There’s not much time left, to get it right, honey

  Unanswered prayers are fears

  They happen to the best of us

  Someday, soon, to the rest of us

  Have no fear, everything, God hears

  As long as I live…all I can do

  old back the tears…all I can do

  Hold back the years…all I can do

  Try to still give…all I can do

  Long as I live…all I can do

  Hold back my tears…all I can do

  Fight back my fears…all I can do

  Hold out His hand to all of you
• I SAID HELLO

  Words & Music by Ivy Raye

  (CHORUS) I said hello, he said, good bye

  I said why? Baby, why?

  I said don’t go, he said, don’t cry

  I said why? Baby,why?

  So, now, I hope you meet that one

  Whose love is just an ego

  All your hope, a setting sun

  When, finally, they, too, will go

  If it’s true what they say

  What goes around, will come around Then I will be your dues to pay

  I hope it’s true, what they say (CHORUS)

  And they will lead you on

  So blind, you, too, will follow

  Just to see how fast they run

  It was just a game, they won

  My prince was just another frog

  The queen of hearts, has a heart of stone

  I love him, but he loves her

  And she just wants to be alone (CHORUS)

  
  

  It goes on & on & on, circle turns on & on & on, love burns on & on & on,

  World turns on & on & on

• AMERICA, AMERICA

  Words Ivy Raye

  Music Josh Moody

  A time to sin, or don’t and win

  Don’t do the crime, or fear the time

  But, you can’t stop, no, you won’t stop

  You choose to sin and lose,again

  Smokin’ crack cocaine, heroin

  Gangland wars, loose the rage within

  You abuse, you rape, you murder

  Did you really have to hurt her? (CHORUS)

  America, America

  The home of the free and the brave

  America, America

  The land of milk and honey

  A time to sin, or don’t and win

  How you spend your eternity

  But, you can’t stop, no, you won’t stop

  The land of birds and evil bees

  Sexual perverts, deviants

  Race hate clubs on the internet

  How do we win our wars within?

  Consequence of sin is written

  America, America

  The home of the free and the brave

  America, America

  The land of milk and honey

  Money, money, milk and honey

  America, America

  Money, money, enough already

  America, America

  Some people just can’t be enlightened

  They would only become frightened

  So you don’t stop, no, you won’t stop

  It starts with you, please, won’t you stop?

• BLACK CLOUD, BLACK SUN

  WORDS & MUSIC BY IVY RAYE

  
  

  I quit tryin’ to learn about life a long time ago

  It’s hard, I know, but, I know what I know, what I know

  So I’m a crazy fool

  I curse the day we met

  I tried to play it cool

  Prayed that I’d forget

  People think I’m crazy

  And I know it’s true

  Reality of destiny

  As I remember you (CHORUS)

  Black cloud, black sun

  You know you should’ve been the one

  Black cloud, black sun

  Now all my dreams are gone

  But, I know what I know

  Just like the sun sets on the sea

  It was time for me to go

  Now that you cannot be with me

  And we’ll never be together

  After all that we’ve been through

  I thought our love would last forever

  And I thought you would be true (CHORUS)

  Black cloud, black sun

  I thought that you would be the one

  Black cloud, black sun

  (Spoken) Now all my dreams… are gone

• LIVIN' ON CREDIT

  Words & Music Ivy Raye

  Well, I’m livin’ on credit in the U. S. of A.

  I don’t know when if ever I’ll be able to pay

  I’m workin’ days and workin’ nights,

  Each and everyday, breakin’ my back, payin’ their tax

  Visa, Mastercard, Discover, American Express

  All I seem to be payin’ on, is their interest

  I should be sayin’ no, when, I’m tellin’ them yes

  It’s drivin’ me crazy, but, I deserve the best (CHORUS)

  Now, I’m livin’ on credit in the U. S. of A.

  I don’t know when if ever I’ll be able to pay

  I’m workin’ days and even nights,

  Monday through sunday, breakin’ my back, payin’ their tax

  Now I used to have a gold

  But it quickly turned to brass,

  ‘Cause I don’t have to be told

  Interest is kickin’ my ass!

  Now, we’re livin’ on credit in the U. S. of A.

  We don’t know when, if ever, we’ll be able to pay

  We’re workin’ days and workin’ nights,

  Each and everyday

  We’re just breakin’ our backs, while it all goes to tax

  That’s the American way, in the U.S. of A.

• ANOTHER DAY

  Words by Ivy Raye

  Music by Nelson McSwain

  There’ll be days

  When what’s done is done

  And all you can do

  Is try and move on

  There’ll be days

  When all you do

  Won’t help you through

  And all you can do

  Is hang your head and cry

  There’ll by days

  When what’s loved is gone

  And nothing you say

  And nothing you pray

  Will bring them back, another day

  I thank God for everyday

  When it all seems to go my way

  If it doesn’t, it’s still okay

  I’ll try again another day

  Yes, I’ll try again another day
• ALL OF GOD'S CHILDREN

  Words & Music Ivy Raye

  All of God’s children

  Are tools for his works

  Not one free of sin

  Reason evil lurks

  All of God’s children

  Work hard, carry on

  Don’t care where you’ve been

  Let your past be gone

  All of God’s children

  Forgive and forget

  Fight hard the temptation

  Forgive them their debt

  All of God’s children

  He gives us this day

  No one knows not when

  So walk in God’s way

  For no one knows not when

  God will be back again
