Bring It On

perhaps you’re the type to fall in love
all upon first sight
I will try to stay out of the way
something don’t feel right
I did not want to loose myself
and I did not want to swoon
something broke inside of me
when the girl left the room
the end of the night is when the sun begins to rise
If I’m not mistaken I can see it in your eyes, see it in your eyes.
bring it on, bring it on if i can have you for just one song
I would be Happily willing to let you go.
summer oh summer oh summer where have you been?
my whole life I've been waiting for you but I guess I never knew.
I still remember the night in my mind like it was yesterday
the moon and the stars and the light in your eyes and the song we started to play
bring it on, bring it on if i can have you for just one song
I would be Happily willing to let you go.
even tho the sun’s about to rise don’t want this to end
I can play guitar for you if you’ve got a song to lend
I like hanging’ out but i’m afraid soon I must be gone
I can do a chorus and an outro to our song
bring it on, bring it on if i can have you for just one song
I would be Happily willing to let you go.
The end of the night is when the sun begins to rise
If I'm not mistaken I can see it in your eyes
everyday life is gonna pull you by the arm
leave when you need to but this dock won’t do no harm
don’t let me twist your arm
but with you i feel alright
just waiting for the morning light.

Something In The Light

oh something in the light
oh something in the light
oh something in the light
I don't want to let you down.
but if its got to hurt,
I'll drop you like a ferris wheel
full speed in reverse
Your not anyone anymore
quite acting like a troubadour
gather the things you need
and make your way on out the door
I don't want to watch you bleed
but if you notice me
I already lost 50 gallons of blood
and I just don't have any more
you're not anyone anymore
quite acting like an animal
gather the things you need
and make your way on out the door
any day now,
you can get just what you need.
In the same old way now
they could bring you to your knees
so watch out
I don't want to be the one that's gotta look you in your eyes
have to give an explanation about the who what when and why
your not anyone anymore
quite acting like a troubadour
gather the things you need
and make your way on out the door
any day now,
you can get just what you need.
In the same old way now
they could bring you to your knees
so watch out
I don't want to watch you bleed
but if you notice me
I already lost 50 gallons of blood
and I just don't have any more
you're not anyone anymore
quite acting like an animal
gather the things you need
and make your way on out the door

Cigarettes
03:37

|
I’d like to take you back to my place
where we can hang around and watch movies
and when it’s nice will go sit on the roof
the days are finally gone no more aloof
Cigarettes, firewood and a book of matches
we can drink this pain away sitting on the shore

Liftoff

hey I like the way you play
take this bag and run away for awhile
for a while
high above the trees tonight
the candle glow will keep us warm and out of the shadows
out of the shadows
calling you from far away
when you go you better stay a while
won’t you stay a while?
Is it working?
yes it is
is it working?
Is it working?
yes it is
is it working?
In a circus tent on the side of the street
the ground gave way below our feet
now I’m walking to the river
take me to the river
down beside the babbling brook
talk about the drugs we took
we can sit in the middle of the rock towers for hours
as the sun comes up the stars all fade
with smothered fires and the smell of sage
I’ll make my way back home to the candle light
Is it working?
yes it is
is it working?
Is it working?
yes it is
is it working?
I’m easy going its alright
nobody's holding me down
I’m easy going its alright
nobody's holding me down
yeah its alright, yeah its alright

Kidding Me
05:22
|

|
blazing hot days as she dips her toes
some lemon, rocks and her pretty clothes
not a care in the world and no one to call to
talk to me baby he says with a smile
I'm on a jury with an endless trial
I guess I just like floating in the water
tell me about the pictures I saw last night
the ones with the boys in the moonlight
what do they mean to you and what did you tell them?
gotta be kidding me
doesn't bother me like it bothers you
cutting it out of me
doesn't bother me like it bothers you
He stomped and he screamed and he pushed her away.
this will have to wait until another day
you see I'm not the one you thought you were after.
so she moved to California where the days are long
the nights played out like a rock and roll song
soon every heart she touched would be broken
dry ice smokes when you put it in water
the pot that was boiling just got hotter
when she called him up to say I love you.
gotta be kidding me
doesn't bother me like it bothers you
cutting it out of me
doesn't bother me like it bothers you

Car And A Bus

packing my bags
as I'm headed to the bus stop
got a couple of hours
to catch the plane
but its all good
going to St. Louis
for four days of thunder
I don't mind
because I heard its really nice there
so she tells me
such a long way
such a short time
like Georgia, Atlanta
I've got you on my mind
show me the gateway
the gateway to the west
I cant take the sun
I'll shut the window
to catch up on some rest.
I'll take a car
and a bus
and a train
and a airplane
whatever I got to do
a car
and a bus
and a train
and a airplane
whatever brings me to you.

No One In The World
03:59

|
no one in the world can affect me
no one in the world can affect me like you
no one in the world can affect me like you do
no one that I know could sway me
no one that I know could sway me like you
no one that I know could sway me like you do
as twisted as a noxious weed this love, love is gonna grow
I hardly see my own two feet
and I wanted you to know
no one that I know would offend me
no one that I know would offend me like you
no one that I know would offend me like you do
knowing all you know would you do it?
knowing all you know would you do it?
knowing all you know would you do it again?
as twisted as a noxious weed this love, love is gonna grow
I hardly see my own two feet
and I wanted you to know

Oh So Nice
03:01
|
|||
|
I hate to back out of an obligation
I'm so tired of all this frustration
we sat down at the pizzeria table
centipede and pac-man were Aesop fables
my heart was built strong like an iron gate
director used to hate me, I was always late
he said your a loose cannon
you've been freaking me out
I'm plugging my ears when you scream and you shout
why is everybody here oh so nice?
oh so nice, oh so nice
now that I’m here in the middle of the ocean
my skin is dry I’ve been drinking lotion
you can own a house
you can scratch my back
a personal opinion is something that you lack
no one likes to talk about what brings them down
were all popping pain pills to eliminate our frowns
were digging deep for the diamonds and gold
but my people in Harare already know
why is everybody here oh so nice?
oh so nice, oh so nice
