Note: As local legend has it; the recently razed Hotel Sunnyvale was once a thriving brothel way back in the day.
lyrics
INSTINCTS (HB15090) LYRICS: Been fully tested; information ingested; gotta chill out for awhile; but you know I need a fix; get some sexual kicks; no more of that cold turkey with a smile; but I aint no fool; gotta be protected from this parasitic disease; aint gonna pull no tricks just to get me a fix; but I've still got instincts; well you could've guessed it; I coulda been arrested; if bein' a fool was against the law; but I feel I was forgiven; for the life I was livin'; with temptation as the only flaw; awww; but i still feel the need; to do a real good deed; for a nice girl in a miniskirt; or two; I see her walkin' on by; I say "oh my my honey...my my"; bye bye...
