Upload a photo to Perception Laboratory’s Face Transformer and see how you might look if you were another race, another species, another gender, etc.

Come over here
All you got is this moment
The twenty-first century’s yesterday
You can care all you want
Everybody does yeah that’s okay
So slide over here
And give me a moment
Your moves are so raw
I’ve got to let you know
I’ve got to let you know
You’re one of my kind
I need you tonight
‘Cause I’m not sleeping
There’s something about you girl
That makes me sweat
How do you feel
I’m lonely
What do you think
Can’t take it all
Whatcha gonna do
Gonna live my life
Kiss On My List (Daryl Hall & John Oates)
By Karen | Monday, August 28th, 2006 | No Comments »
My friends wonder why I call you all of the time
What can I say
I don’t feel the need to give such secrets away
You think maybe I need help, no, I know that I’m right
I’m just better off not listening to friends’ advice
When they insist on knowing my bliss
I tell them this
When they want to know what the reason is
I only smile when I lie, then I tell them why
(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list
(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list
Because your kiss is on my list of the best things in life
(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list
(Because your kiss) your kiss I can’t resist
Because your kiss is what I miss when I turn out the light
I go crazy wondering what there is to really see
Did the night just take up your time, ’cause it means more to me
Sometimes I forget what I’m doing, I don’t forget what I want
Regret what I’ve done, regret you? I couldn’t go on
And if you insist on knowing my bliss
I’ll tell you this
If you want to know what the reason is
I’ll only smile when I lie, then I’ll tell you this
(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list
(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list
Because your kiss is on my list of the best things in life
(Because your kiss) your kiss is on my list
(Because your kiss) your kiss I can’t resist
Because your kiss is what I miss when I turn out the light…
It Ain’t Over Till It’s Over (Lenny Kravitz)

Here we are still together
We are one
So much time wasted
Playing games with love
So many tears I’ve cried
So much pain inside
But baby it ain’t over ’til it’s over
So many years we’ve tried
To keep our love alive
But baby it ain’t over ’till it’s over
How many times
Did we give up
But we always worked things out
And all my doubts and fear
Kept me wondering
If I’d always be in love
So many tears I’ve cried
So much pain inside
But baby it ain’t over ’til it’s over
So many years we’ve tried
And kept our love alive
But baby it ain’t over ’till it’s over
So many tears I’ve cried
So much pain iside
But baby it ain’t over ’til it’s over
So many years we’ve tried
And kept our love alive
But baby it ain’t over ’till it’s over
Hurts So Good (John Cougar Mellencamp)

When I was a young boy said put away those young boy ways
Now that I’m gettin’ older, so much older I love all those young boy days
With a girl like you, with a girl like you
Lord knows there are things we can do, baby, just me and you
Come on and make it
Hurt so good
Come on baby, make it hurt so good
Sometimes love don’t feel like it should
You make it hurt so good
Don’t have to be so exciting
Just tryin’ to give myself a little bit of fun yeah
You always look so invitin’, you ain’t as green as you are young
Hey baby, it’s you, come on, girl, now, it’s you
Sink your teeth right through my bones, baby, let’s see what we can do
Come on and make it
Hurt so good
Come on baby, make it hurt so good
Sometimes love don’t feel like it should
You make it hurt so good
I ain’t talkin’ no big deals
I ain’t made no plans myself
I ain’t talkin’ no high heels
Maybe we could walk around all day long
Walk around all day long
Hurt so good
Come on baby, make it hurt so good
Sometimes love don’t feel like it should
You make it hurt so good
Hurt so good
Come on baby, make it hurt so good
Sometimes love don’t feel like it should
You make it hurt so good
Hey, hey
Everytime You Go Away (Paul Young)

Hey! If we can solve any problem
Then why do we lose so many tears
Oh, and so you go again
When the leading man appears
Always the same thing
Can’t you see, we’ve got everything goin’ on and on and on
Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you
Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you
Go on and go free, yeah
Maybe you’re too close to see
I can feel yor body move
It doesn’t mean that much to me
I can’t go on sayin’ the same thing
Just can’t you see, we’ve got everything do you even know we know
Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you, oh
Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you
I can’t go on sayin’ the same thing
‘Cause baby, can’t ya see, we’ve got everything goin’ on and on and on
Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you
Every time you go away you take a piece of me with you
Easy Lover (Phil Collins & Philip Bailey)

Easy lover, she’ll get a hold on you believe it
Like no other, before you know it you’ll be on your knees
She’s an easy lover, she’ll take your heart but you won’t feel it
She’s like no other, and I’m just trying to make you see
She’s the kind of girl you dream of, dream of keeping hold of
You’d better forget it, you’ll never get it
She will play around and leave you, leave you and deceive you
Better forget it, oh you’ll regret it
No you’ll never change her, so leave it, leave it
Get out quick ’cause seeing is believing
It’s the only way you’ll ever know
Easy lover, she’ll get a hold on you believe it
Like no other, before you know it you’ll be on your knees
She’s an easy lover, she’ll take your heart but you won’t feel it
She’s like no other, and I’m just trying to make you see
You’re the one that wants to hold her, hold her and control her
You’d better forget it, you’ll never get it
For she’ll say there’s no other, till she finds another
Better forget it, oh you’ll regret it
And don’t try to change her, just leave it, leave it
You’re not the only one, ooh seeing is believing
It’s the only way you’ll ever know, oh
No don’t try to change her, just leave it, leave it
You’re not the only one, ooh seeing is believing
It’s the only way you’ll ever know, oh
Easy lover, she’ll get a hold on you believe it
Like no other, before you know it you’ll be on your knees
She’s an easy lover, she’ll take your heart but you won’t feel it
She’s like no other, and I’m just trying to make you see
Easy lover, she’ll get a hold on you believe it
Like no other, before you know it you’ll be on your knees
She’s an easy lover, she’ll take your heart but you won’t feel it
She’s like no other, and I’m just trying to make you see
China Girl (David Bowie)
By Karen | Monday, August 28th, 2006 | No Comments »
I could escape this feeling with my China Girl
I feel a wreck without my little China Girl
I hear her heart beating loud as thunder
Saw they stars crashing
I’m a mess without my little China Girl
Wake up mornings where’s my little China Girl
I hear her heart’s beating loud as thunder
Saw they stars crashing down
I feel a-tragic like I’m Marlon Brando
When I look at my China Girl
I could pretend that nothing really meant too much
When I look at my China Girl
I stumble into town just like a sacred cow
Visions of swastikas in my head
Plans for everyone
It’s in the whites of my eyes
My little China Girl
You shouldn’t mess with me
I’ll ruin everything you are
I’ll give you television
I’ll give you eyes of blue
I’ll give you men who want to rule the world
And when I get excited
My little China Girl says
Oh baby just you shut your mouth
She says … sh-sh-shhh
Cherry Bomb (John Mellencamp)
By Karen | Monday, August 28th, 2006 | No Comments »
Well I lived on the outskirts of town
In an eight room farmhouse, baby
When my brothers and friends were around
There was always something’ doin’
Had me a couple of real nice girlfriends
Stopped by to see me every once in a while
When I think back about those days
All I can do is sit and smile
That’s when a sport was a sport
And groovin’ was groovin’
And dancin’ meant everything
We were young and we were improvin’
Laughin’, laughin’ with our friends
Holdin’ hands meant somethin’ baby
Outside the club “Cherry Bomb”
Our hearts were really thumpin’
Say yeah yeah yeah
Say yeah yeah yeah
The winter days they last forever
But the weekends went by so quick
Went ridin’ around this little country town
We were goin’ nuts, girl, out in the sticks
One night, me with my big mouth
A couple guys had to put me in my place
When I see those guys these days
We just laugh and say do you remember when
That’s when a sport was a sport
And groovin’ was groovin’
And dancin’ meant everything
We were young and we were improvin’
Laughin’, laughin’ with our friends
Holdin’ hands meant somethin’ baby
Outside the club “Cherry Bomb”
Our hearts were really thumpin’
Say yeah yeah yeah
Say yeah yeah yeah
Seventeen has turned thirty-five
I’m surprised that we’re still ivin’
If we’ve done any wrong
I hope that we’re forgiven
Got a few kids of my own
And some days I still don’t know what to do
I hope that they’re not laughin’ too loud
When they hear me talkin’
Like this to you
That’s when a sport was a sport
And groovin’ was groovin’
And dancin’ meant everything
We were young and we were improvin’
Laughin’, laughin’ with our friends
Holdin’ hands meant somethin’ baby
Outside the club “Cherry Bomb”
Our hearts were really thumpin’
Say yeah yeah yeah
Say yeah yeah yeah
Cherish (Kool & The Gang)
By Karen | Monday, August 28th, 2006 | No Comments »
Let’s take a walk together near the ocean shore
Hand in hand you and I
Let’s cherish every moment we have been given
The time is passing by
I often pray before I lay down by your side
If you receive your calling before I awake
Could I make it through the night
Cherish the love we have
We should cherish the life we live
Cherish the love
Cherish the life
Cherish the love
Cherish the love we have
For as long as we both shall live
Cherish the love
Cherish the life
Cherish the love
The world is always changing
Nothing stays the same
But love will stand the test of time
The next life that we live in
Remains to be seen
Will you be by my side
I often pray before I lay down by your side
If you receive your calling before I awake
Could I make it through the night
Cherish the love we have
We should cherish the life we live
Cherish the love
Cherish the life
Cherish the love
Cherish the love we have
For as long as we both shall live
Cherish the love
Cherish the life
Cherish the love
Cherish the love
Cherish the life
Cherish the love we have
We should cherish the life we live
Cherish the love
Cherish the life
Cherish the love
Cherish the love we have
For as long as we both shall live
Cherish the love
Cherish the life
Cherish the love
Cherish the love we have
We should cherish the life we live
Cherish the love
Cherish the life
Cherish the love
Cherish the love we have
For as long as we both shall live
Cherish the love
Cherish the life
Cherish the love
