freedom has its ups and downs
walk the streets of lonesome town
try to find some company
somebody who will talk to me

well I’m here all alone
a wind blows home
we’ll find it someday
there’s no reason to cry
for days gone by
oh, karla, we can make it if we try

hurricanes and cadillacs
they run you down and don’t look back
oh where can my salvation be
a tender touch to comfort me

but I’m here all alone…

no matter how the wind may blow
you belong to me
like the mountains to the sky
and you know when I close my eyes
you’re the one I see
oh, karla, we can make it if we try

old man river’s on the rise
wash the circles from my eyes
hurricane is on its way
you can call it karla
karla with a K

We’re all so chic, living in Class A
Partying is such sweet sorrow today
When you don’t know who your friends are and neither do they
We’re all so amused and maybe it’s better that way.

She’s been seen with him, He’s been seen with her
Happy propaganda, just a far-crying stir
Sing “My Way” and mean it, Karaoke Overkill
We all should know better, but I bet we never will.

Wherein she comes, making me think I’m not fit to a leisure dream,
I’ve seen you in Marbella, you’re a real player
Taking it easy, taking it easy.

We all know we shouldn’t and that is why we do it.
Here’s my glass house, why don’t you come and view it?
Sing “My Way” and mean it, Karaoke Overkill
We all should know better, but I bet we’ll never,
The sooner the better,
I’ll send you a letter,
Still…..

Hanging with your sister, playing naked Twister,
Down to your Joker, playing Strip Poker,
Give us a clue, seeing the night through
And you’re so ‘cained, it’s all gained about you.

Hanging with your sister, playing naked Twister,
Down to your joker, playing Strip Poker…….

Ooh shalalalalalala
Ooh shalalalalalala

Tedium is overcome
From obscurity
Through melody
And when I’m blind
It helps me see through your key

No one can touch
No need to rush
Presented by
My alibi
And when I’m down
It brings me round so easy

At eight ‘o clock I’ll take my leave
And when I’m done and dusted tonight I’m gonna be

I’ll be your karaoke queen
It’s not me you see
I’m gonna take you down to a place I know you’d rather be

It’s just a three-minute song
It doesn’t last very long
But it’ll take you to a place I know you’d rather be
And you can dance

Ooh shalalalalalala
Ooh shalalalalalala

Common sense has excuses
Recklessness its uses
But don’t go fusing silence
With charisma

At nine ‘o clock you can count on me
But when I’m up, I’m ready tonight I’m gonna be

I’ll be your karaoke queen
It’s not me you see
I’m gonna take you down to a place I know you’d rather be

It’s just a three-minute song
It doesn’t last very long
But it’ll take you to a place I know you’d rather be
Where you can dance

Ooh shalalalalalala
Ooh shalalalalalala

Ooh shalalalalalala
Ooh shalalalalalala

I’m doomed to fail
The stage gives way
It’s an apostrophe
To my legacy

But though I’m bruised I’ll happily do it all again

At ten ‘o clock don’t wait up for me
Cause when I’m up, I’m ready tonight I’m gonna be

Matthew!

I’ll be your karaoke queen
It’s not me you see
I’m gonna take you down to a place I know you’d rather be

It’s just a three-minute song
It doesn’t last very long
But it’ll take you to a place I know you’d rather be

And you can dance if you wanna show appreciation
But step up to the mike for the full sensation

And you can dance
And you can dance

And you can
Ooh lalala, ooh shalalalalalala

Yeah you can
Ooh lalala, ooh shalalalalalala

You’re dragging me along
I cannot hold it
You say it’s what you are
Your staring scares me

Antagonize your fears, your longing
You’re setting out your fears, you’re falling
I turn my back on you
You’re far too clever now

Kareen is calling out her name
She disappeared beneath her pain
But no one’s listening
No one’s listening

I contradict myself
You did not need it
You gave up from the start
So where’s that leave me?

And what I’d like to know is easy
If it’s your right, than don’t believe me
I turn my back on you
You’re far too clever now

Reckless leap to try once more
It’s really not that strange
You’ll learn to be adored
And not to be ashamed

Yeah, yeah
Watch out
Ain’t no running from
Karma, and no running
Ain’t no running from
Karma, and no running
[Repeat]
I’m the caboose of the wrong doings you produce
The wild tail of the tornado running loose
You type the news, I kick the chair
I’m the cinai that snatch your life while you gasp for air
The echo of the “Fuck you” that boomerangs to hurt your loved ones
The thief that held your son, held by ransom
The pervert that raped your wife
The hand that held the knife that took your life
You shot Tupac and Biggie
Now I’m coming after you like V-W-X-Y-Z
This is cause and effect, the dominal effect
The “What goes up, must come down” effect
You hopin, though, that you had a hand in doin the doin
The conclusion of the evil that you ended and start pursuing
Ain’t no running from
Karma, and no running
Ain’t no running from
Karma, and no running
[Repeat]
This is the payback from the past
You threw me down like I was just a piece of trash
You gave me cash every week just enough to live
But didn’t get what I deserved instead I was deceived
Still young and didn’t know about this in the street
Of the acts, so (?) and shady
Don’t crush your dreamshow and your whole entity
Subliminally you’re on the hire from a slavery
Remember that “What goes around, comes around”
God is watching you and evrything that you do
Do you remember everything that you did before
The way the bad action opens cosmic door
I’ma leave it up to God what he got for you
I’ma leave it up to Him what he got for me
And he’s watching you
Yeah, yeah
Watch out
Ain’t no running from
Karma, and no running
Ain’t no running from
Karma, and no running
[Repeat]
Yeah, yeah, you can’t run away (No, no, no)
You know, it’s gonna get ya (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
And don’t ignore it (No, no, no)
You know why, it’s gonna get ya (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Yeah, yeah, you can’t run away (No, no, no)
It’s gonna get ya (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

It’s gonna get ya-get ya-get ya-get ya
One way or another
It’s gonna find ya
It’s gonna get ya-get ya-get ya-get ya
One way or another
It’s gonna find ya
It’s gonna get ya-get ya-get ya-get ya
One way or another

Yeah, yeah, nigga
Ain’t no running from

Ain’t no running from
Karma, and no running
[Repeat]
Yeah, yeah
Watch out
Can’t run away (No, no, no)
It’s gonna get ya (Yeah, yeah, yeah)

What goes up comes down
Hits the ground
You’re gonna find out
All about, all about

Desert loving in your eyes all the way.
If I listen to your lies would you say
I’m a man without conviction,
I’m a man who doesn’t know
how to sell a contradiction.
You come and go, you come and go.
Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon,
you come and go, you come and go.
Loving would be easy if your colours were like my dream,
red gold and green, red gold and green.
Don’t hear your wicked words every day
and you used to be so sweet, I heard you say
that my love was an addiction.
When we cli~g our love is strong.
When you go you’re gone forever.
You string along, you string along.
Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon,
you come and go, you come and go.
Loving would be easy if your colours were like my dream,
red gold and green, red gold and green.
Every day is like survival,
you’re my lover, not my rival.
Every day is like survival,
you’re my lover, not my rival.
I’m a man without conviction,
I’m a man who doesn’t know
how to sell a contradiction.
You come and go, you come and go.
Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon,
you come and go, you come and go.
Loving would be easy if your colours were like my dream,
red gold and green, red gold and green.
Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon,
you come and go, you come and go.
Loving would be easy if your colours were like my dream,
red gold and green, red gold and green.
Karma karma karma karma karma chameleon,
you come and go, you come and go.
Loving would be easy if your colours were like my dream,
red gold and green, red gold and green. (fade)

(Ming Xia)
Welcome…….
To the…….
Karma………
Hoooooooo……….
(x2)

(First Verse)
Karma Hotel lobby, and I’m lookin’ for enlightenment
Concierge, where can I go to find adventure and excitement?
Played of all the casinos, bars, and orgies, they bore me
Here’s another twenty, now what you got for me?
He stared at me hard, finally dipped in his drawer
Flipped the elevator keys and said “Go to the fourteenth floor”
So in a flash I was there, cold knock on the door
Bombarded by cigar smoke, the smell of Hell and War
And when the fog cleared, the scene was like an eerie nightmare
“Come in, we’ve been waitin’ on you for years”
“You wanted adventure, now you got it boy, don’t show me no tears,”
“This is the place where you face your desires and fears,”
In each of his hands was a revolver, forty-five in the left
Twenty-two in his right
Russian roulette’s the game tonight
And there’s NO escape, so don’t try to run
But I’ll fill your life with bliss if you’re alive once the death wheel has spun
“Choose your gun”
Gimme the forty-five, I said with a smile
“Here’s a shiny silver bullet, might as well go out in style”
Put one in the cylinder, spun it, aimed at my dome and slowly clicked it
Now I feel the adrenheline rush that’s got me so addicted
Motivatin’ me to play, a second time, then a third time
Fourth time I clicked and popped
BOOM! Money shot
Next morning, cops found me, needle stickin’ out my arm
Peep the drama, another sad story at the Karma

(Chorus: Ming Xia)
Welcome to the Karma Hotel
Looks like Heaven but could be Hell
Where pleasant screams transform to yells
And every suite casts its own spell
(2x)

(Second Verse)
Peep the gamblin’ scene
Gettin’ dough as he rambled the fiends
Exotic queens dancin’ with tamborines
And the Gambler’s theme
One eye open, one eye scopin’
Watchin’ his gat, watchin’ his back
Watchin’ his stack, watchin’ his wrap
Watchin’ his deck, as people notice like
“OH SHIT! Boy just won a hundred grand!”
“Where? Where?” “Oh my God, at Table Seven, did you see him yet?”
Look at his chips, all that green growin’ like Chia Pets
Two out the handle and he can’t stop
The more and more the fans flock, the more the dice out his hands drop
Walk in the room, he’s bettin’ and makin’ money and every table
Women are sweatin’ him like he was James Bond or Joe David
Yeah, he’s satisfied, he’s in his element now
To do this for the rest of his life is how it’s goin’ down
So it seems like, he got his whole shit set
But his son is gangbangin’ in the park, holdin’ a rain check
Meanwhile, somehow, somethin’ is kinda eerie
About this place that he seems to be payin’ a permanent visit to
Every face he sees, expressionless, like a mannequin
He really wants to leave, but stays cool, to avoid panickin’
He’s gettin’ the same attention, but somethin’ seems sorta different
He’s wrinklin’ up, losin’ weight, and his body’s startin’ to stiffen
Now he notices years have passed in one night
He made more cash than we could imagine, but never lived life

(Chorus)

(Third Verse: Ming Xia & amp)

(Ming Xia)
Since we’re all trapped in, peace guys, see you later
I’ma go to that red door near the elevator
Triple nines on nails danglin’ off the door
Excuse me sir, I didn’t notice you before

Pleased to meet you, Macristo’s the name
Pretty young thing
Come into my room, I’d like to play a game, it’s called “Doom”
Beat the friends and family
Gotta give yourself to me
By the way, what’s your name?

(Ming Xia)
Eve

Check the scenery

(Ming Xia)
Looks so happy, at the same time
The way they’re entwined seems so good it’s a crime

Believe in me as I believe in yo
