Lyrics for Song: The Moment Of Conception 
Lyrics for Album: Look Into The Eyeball [2003]
  
               
  14879>At the moment of conception
  I could see someone approaching
  Will you be my disco dancer?
  I could use a little coaching
  Will you be my secret lover?
  Mother, Father, Sister, Brother too
 
 
  I was born without a conscience
  Full of freedom, full of nonsense
  From the mountains to the beaches
  Eat the apples, steal the peaches
  Will you be this wild child's lady?
  Will you carry me to safety?
 
 
  Lock me up & take me home
  I don't wanna be free
  Goin' crazy - on my own
  It's not where I wanna be
 
 
  I behave without compassion
  I see things I want to smash them
 
 
  When I put our love in danger & treat you like a total stranger
  I don't really want to hurt you
  I would stop it if I could do
 
 
  Blame my school & blame my parents
  & the genes that I inherit
  Blame it on my older sister for showing me her dirty pictures
  Blame the TV & the movies
  Blame the lawyers & the juries
 
 
  Lock me up & take me home
  I don't wanna be free
  Goin' crazy - on my own
  It's not where I wanna be
 
 
  At the moment of conception
  At the moment of conception
