I said, “I would go!
Through the hail, and the rain snow,
Until I get from you what I need to know”
He said, “I don’t fall that low!
To tell you what you need to know,
Cause you got me under a heavy, heavy glow”
(I said) “I’m going to pry at your brain!
And no I won’t try to restrain,
From inflicting too much pain”
He said, “That’s ashame,
But I always have enjoyed a good game,
I gotta brand new shirt,
I don’t want no blood stain”
It’s another broken man,
Laying on that floor again,
Who try to fight me,
And it’s another broken man,
Laying on that floor again,
Who just delight me,
‘Til my problems mend,
I’ll keep fighting to the very end,
All the rules I’ll break, all the rules I’ll bend,
He said, “I got some advice I can lend,
I think you and I can be friends,
I got money I’m more than willing to spend”
“Man, you think I’m dumb?!
You can’t buy your freedom,
Man for me, this is just some free fun”
It’s another broken man,
Laying on that floor again,
Who try to fight me,
And it’s another broken man,
Laying on that floor again,
Who just delight me,

Tell the truth,
Girl just admit it,
I’m no sleuth,
So please let your clues slip now,
Let go,
Don’t keep it stowed,
Girl, just admit it,
Let me know,
That I am handpicked now,
Let go,
There’s just one step to take,
So look into my eyes,
This moves mine to make,
I hope it’s no surprise,
No surprise,
Between your lines,
Girl I need glasses,
A thousand times,
I miss read your passes now,
Let go,
Make it clear,
Girl, that I’m wanted,
Filled with fear,
You’ve got me haunted now,
Let go,
We’ve just wasted time,
The truth tucked tight away,
Living both our lies,
There’s just one step to take,
Step to take,
There’s just one step to take,
I hope it’s no surprise,
No surprise,

Hotel,
Holding you to me,
Stairwell,
Stage two with you,
Handrail,
Beneath your body,
Oh tell,
There’s no curfew
New York’s loving’s new,
Be quick to take your queue,
Before the night is through,
She’ll make you hers,
Freewill,
Following you closely,
Your spell it slips,
From your lips so softly,
Unveil,
Hair falling freely,
Foretell our night is it,
New York’s loving’s new,
Be quick to take your queue,
Before the night is through,
She’ll make you hers,
Hotel,
Our body’s bending,
Her spell,
Her undertow,
Our tale,
No happy ending,
Hold still,
Please don’t let go.

She’s got a little tight skirt,
And short bobbed hair,
She’s got a low cut shirt,
And I’m starting to stare,
No U-turns from here,
It’s your turn to steer,
Girl I’m your passenger,
And she’s shifting gears,
She’s got tall white heels,
And her foot on the gas,
No hands on the wheel,
As she’s making a pass,
No U-turns from here,
It’s your turn to steer,
Girl I’m your passenger,
And she’s shifting gears,
Go, go boy you’ll never slow her down,
Go, go, going gone this girl gets around,
Go, go, going gone she takes the out of bounds,
The town taxicab,
Oh she’ll take you for a ride,
Where you wanna go and fast,
Oh boy any time of night,
Take the pleasure with the hurt,
as she’s tugging my hair,
Fast forward from the flirt,
With our bodies bare,
No U-turns from here,
It’s your turn to steer,
Girl I’m your passenger,
And she’s shifting gears,
Oh she’s warming my chills,
As her AC Blasts,
Up and down hills,
Speed bump coming fast,
No U-turns from here,
It’s your turn to steer,
Girl I’m your passenger,
And she’s shifting gears,
Go, go boy you’ll never slow her down,
Go, go, going gone this girl gets around,
Go, go, going gone she takes the out of bounds,
The town taxicab,
Oh she’ll take you for a ride,
Where you wanna go and fast,
Oh boy any time of night,

Darling,
I can’t seem to find,
How to get you,
Off of my mind,
I can’t eat,
I can’t sleep,
I can barely stand on my own two feet,
And whenever you’re around girl,
My tongue is tied I can barely speak,
Cause darling you make me weak,
Cause darling you make me weak,
Darling,
You’re such a thief,
You stole the heart,
From which you I’ll never retrieve,
I have no beat,
Money’s running cheap,
But for you I stay the best to be neat,
And whenever you’re around girl,
My Heart is back I feel complete,
Cause darling you make me weak,
Cause darling you make me weak,
But you took me as a fool,
Used me as your tool,
I was under your rule,
I knew it was cruel and wrong,
But darling now that you’re gone,
Now that you’re gone,
Darling you made me strong,
Darling you made me strong,
Girl,
Now that your gone,
I won’t ever make,
That mistake,
Again,
Girl,
Now that you’re gone,
I won’t ever make,
That mistake,
Again,

Shut me down and you,
You come right back again,
I say, “Definitely Not.”
But you still want to be my friend,
Well I don’t know,
You’re a Boomerang girl,
Walk out my door,
Go a hundred feet,
And you come right back,
After you had just given me the sack,
Well I don’t know,
You’re a Boomerang girl,
And I just don’t understand,
Why you do this to every man,
Oh that you know,
And you say that you’re gone for good,
But I know that it’s a lie,
Oh I’m not your toy,
You’re a Boomerang girl,
You say, “Our relationship has to end.”
So I ask, “Why?”
You say it’s because,
You’re seeing another guy,
And I don’t know,
You’re a Boomerang girl,
A month goes by,
You come back knocking at my door,
I wanna say No,
But you say you changed your inner-
core.
And I don’t know,
You’re a Boomerang girl,
And I just don’t understand,
Why you do this to every man,
Oh that you know,
And you say that you’re gone for good,
But I know that it’s a lie,
Oh I’m not your toy,
You’re a Boomerang girl,

Tomorrow

If you came back tomorrow,
Could I ever say no?
If you came back tomorrow,
Would you the next day,
Let me go?
Like a cloud in the sky,
That just passes by,
You paint my sunshine to gray,
If you came back tomorrow,
Would you stay?
If you came back tomorrow,
Would you stay?
If you came before noontime,
Would you stay for tea?
If you came before noontime,
Would you feel for me or flee?
Like a dog by your side,
Stealing bones it then hides,
You return for a moment than stray,
If you came back tomorrow,
Would you stay?
If you came back tomorrow,
Would you stay?
If you came after dark,
Would I unlock the door?
If you came after dark,
Would you heal me than leave me sore?
Like a kite in the wind,
With more fun on your end,
You slip my grip, float away,
If you came back tomorrow,
Would you stay?
If you came back tomorrow,
Would you stay?

One Way or Another
04:05
|

|
One way or another,
Two wrongs are alright,
Third try is the charmer,
For luck’s won with a fight,
I’ve counted my blessings,
While being tested,
Learned my lessons,
From what mirrors reflected,
Reality’s confessions,
With Windexed inspection,
If only life could be so easily corrected,
I’ve been red with fright,
When caught red handed,
Read my rights,
Tied tight and branded,
Blew the crime and the time,
Now blue in my mind,
Thought I had the green light,
But was color Blind.
I’d rather try than fail and fall,
Then fail to try my luck at all,
I’d rather live without regret,
Than regret a life without a step,
I’d rather try than fail and fall,
Then fail to try my luck at all,
I’d rather live without regret,
Than regret a life without a step,
Take the dive,
Make the plunge,
What if what was what was none?
I’ve spelled my wishes to a star above,
Swelled my hopes for a passing dove,
Picked an Abraham up from off the ground,
Maybe I would’ve won,
If he wasn’t faced down,
I’ve whispered words,
To lost lashes,
Felt fears fall in last lashes,
Slashes numb on a back of passion,
Lost stashes on the past that I should’ve cashed in,
But I’d rather try than fail and fall,
Then fail to try my luck at all,
I’d rather live without regret,
Than regret a life without a step,
I’d rather try than fail and fall,
Then fail to try my luck at all,
I’d rather live without regret,
Than regret a life without a step,
Take the dive,
Make the plunge,
What if what was what was none?
I’ve kept crickets in cages,
Born crosses for ages,
Knocked on wood for the just-in-cases,
Prechin’ “Break-a-leg” when I take the stages,
Knee’s buckle, Seems I shoulda worn braces,
I’ve spelled my wishes to a star above,
Swelled my hopes for a passing dove,
Picked an Abraham up from off the ground,
Maybe I would’ve won,
If he wasn’t faced down,
But I’d rather try than fail and fall,
Then fail to try my luck at all,
I’d rather live without regret,
Than regret a life without a step,
Take the dive,
Make the plunge,
What if what was what was none.
So one way or another,
Two wrongs are all right,
Third try is the charmer,
For lucks won with a fight,

Blaze

Sitting in the sunshine,
Watch the day go by,
Sitting in the sunshine,
Above clouds pass by in the sky,
As you feel the day burning bright,
Sitting in the sunrise,
With the budding blooms,
Sitting in the sunrise,
Feel the day just roll upon you,
In the burning of,
Summer’s afternoons,
Roll through days,
Blow all your fears away,
Toke embers of your flame,
Blaze burn inside of me,
Roll through days,
Blow all your fears away,
Toke embers of your flame,
Blaze burn inside of me.
Sitting in the sunshine,
Watch the day go by,
Sitting in the sunshine,
Above clouds pass by in the sky,
As you feel the day burning bright,
Sitting in the sunset,
With the fires smoke,
Sitting in the sunset,
Blowing our goodyes to the day,
Oh please stay,
Feelin the blaze,
Roll through days,
Blow all your fears away,
Toke embers of your flame,
Blaze burn inside of me,
Roll through days,
Blow all your fears away,
Toke embers of your flame,
Blaze burn inside of me.

Fisherman's Cove

Fishing on Fisherman’s Cove,
With her towel and tan,
Who’s lurking in the leafy grove,
At the edge of the sand?
Oh his cautious weight (wait),
Sadly sealed his fate,
As a twig cried out a crack,
She turned her head,
And there was no turning back
Fishing on Fisherman’s Cove,
With her lotion and locks,
Who’s schooner was on the move?
Now masts parked at the docks,
With a Ray Band glance,
In Polo pants he pranced,
Oh his nose too high to reach,
Oh she stole his gold,
And dug his hole on the beach,
Fishin’ on Fisherman’s Cove,
And she’s fishing there on the sea,
Fishing on Fisherman’s Cove,
Boy, you’d better watch your feet,
Boy, you better beware,
Cause she’ll take you there,
Right on the beach,
Boy, you better beware,
You better watch your feet,
Fishing on Fisherman’s Cove,
With her bikini and Bangs,
Who from the rocky cliff tops dove?
Her notice to obtain,
In a speedo He posed,
Shaved from head to toe,
Oh he came to take a look,
He had taken her bait,
And now was stuck on her hook.
Fishing on Fisherman’s Cove,
And she’s fishing there on the sea,
Fishing on Fisherman’s Cove,
Boy, you’d better watch your feet,
Boy, you better beware,
Cause she’ll take you there,
Right on the beach,
Boy, you better beware,
You better watch your feet,

Running for the Hills

I’m running for the hills,
But they’re chasing me right at my heels,
I’m running for the hills,
As they’re chasing me right at my heels,
They’re hunting the fields,
As they’re haunting my mind with their thrills,
They’re hunting the fields,
As they’re haunting my mind with their thrills,
Bows, arrows, and spears,
And the Rain Man’s chant in my ears,
War painted faces,
They’re panting just paces away,
War painted faces,
They’re panting just paces away,
I’m gunning down air,
As I’m hoping there’s somebody there,
I’m gunning down air,
As I’m hoping there’s somebody there,
Bows, arrows, and spears,
And the Rain Man’s chant in my ears,
I’m running for the hills,
But they’re chasing me right at my heels,
I’m running for the hills,
As they’re chasing me right at my heels,
Bows, arrows, and spears,
And the Rain Man’s chant in my ears,

By the look in your eyes
I didn't realize the way you said my name
Oh by the look of your figure
I couldn't figure out, why you wanted to dance with me
So I took you to the floor
I couldn't help but adore, the way at my shirt you tore
Oh I took you to the floor
I couldn't wait to explore, underneath that dress that you wore
Don't leave me alone
Oh please take me home with you tonight
Don't leave me alone
Oh girl I'm, I'm asking nice
Oh by the way that he walked
It was clear he was cocked, with the clenching of his teeth
But you attacked the senses that sensed his attack
Too much to loose, to much to leave
So it was fight or flee, it was either him or me
I couldn't blink, you couldn't breath
Oh girl you know what I believe, Oh tell me you ain't a tease
Oh girl I'm, I'm asking please
Oh girl you've won, Oh you've won my heart without a fight
Oh girl you've won, oh girl I'm not, I'm not asking twice
Don't leave me alone
Oh please take me home with you tonight
Don't leave me alone, Oh girl I'm, I'm asking nice
(scatting)
By the look in your eyes
I didn't realize the way you said my name
Oh by the look of your figure
I couldn't figure out, why you wanted to dance with me
