Falling

Do you love me or are we just friends
Do you need me or is this just pretend
I’ve tried to figure you out but I still have my doubts
If I could looked in your heart what would I see
Would there be someone I can trust 
Or is this all just my fantasy  

When I kiss you do you get chills
Or are you feeling some kind of guilt
Am I special or am I just one of several
When I call do you rush to the phone
Will you stick with me to the end
Or will you leave me all alone

I’m falling
I’m falling
I can’t see what’s in your heart
All I know is I’m falling, falling for you

Maybe I should take a chance and let go
Maybe you’ll love me, maybe you won’t
Maybe this is the beginning of everything
A soft kiss and a leap of faith
That’s all I’m asking that’s all it takes
Baby only you can fill in all my blanks

Stonewall

Well it started down at Stonewall 

It was June of ’69

The raid was set for 3am

Just about closing time

They arrested the bartenders

And the wait staff as well

They thought it would be easy

‘till the neighbors started to yell

Their crime was serving faggots

There’s no license for that

They thought they’d close it forever 

But the protesters stood pat

The streets filled up with fairies

And queens in there finest threads

And the bottles started flying

Sailing over the cops heads

The uniforms ran for cover

They hid inside the bar

And called for reinforcements

Paddy wagons and squad cars

But the people they got organized

And proudly took a stand

And started the gay liberation front

And got the upper hand

Now a proud flag is waving

In parades every year

That symbolizes freedom 

From prejudice and fear

So sing a song for Stonewall

Sing it loud and clear

Let no one forget the courage

Born in the village that year

Christine

A little too brave, a little too cute, a little too sharp
Christine went out swimming with the sharks one night
Now she walks the streets with that glazed look in her eyes
And know one  seems to miss her and I wonder why

Christine, where are you to night
Christine, I wonder if you're all right
Church bells are ringing out your name
Christine, Christine

A little to much, a little too fast, a little too strong
She approaches  some gentlemen  and asks if they might
Like some company, a little half and half tonight
And if they say yes, she's off into the night

Christine, where are you to night
Christine, I wonder if you're all right
Church bells are ringing out your name
Christine, Christine

A little too bright, a little too clear, a little too soon
The sunlight chases the morning moon
It signals the end of her working day
Tell me how long can she go on this way

Christine, where are you to night
Christine, I wonder if you're all right
Church bells are ringing out your name
Christine, Christine

SLOW

I saw him driving this car before

Candy apple red and that music thumping

I never thought I had a chance 

But here I am like a princess cruising

I can hear his heart beat picking up its pace

I can see that longing emotion on his face

Take it slow

Baby take it slow

No need to rush on in

Let’s ease into this thing

Take my hand and we’ll begin

Ain’t no race we’re running

Baby take it slow

I know I’m playing with dynamite

He’s ready to explode like a rock guitar string

But if I give him what he needs

This stories gonna have a real sad ending

There are no red lights stopping you

So take your time and I’ll come through

Take it slow
Baby take it slow
No need to rush on in
Let’s ease into this thing
Take my hand and we’ll begin
Ain’t no race we’re running
Baby take it slow

Please leave me alone

You're usin' me up

You're wearing' me down

You're everywhere baby

You're always around

At first I thought it was so sweet

Now I can't seem to get me no peace

Like walkin' on Egg shells

Like liven' in hell

Please leave me alone

Please lease me alone

Just leave me alone

You're the life guard baby

That just can't swim

You're the school bus driver 

Stinking of gin

You want to steer the ship

But you can't see

Your blinded by love

And I'm your casualty

In my mind I'm floating on an Island

Somewhere where there are no spoken words

Not a word

To be heard

So show me an exit

Point to the sign

Give me a ticket

And I'll be fine

Far far away from the 

Madding crowd

Where the music is playing

Ever so loud

That Little Girl of Mine

She's more than I asked for 

Much more than I deserve

She gives me such lovin'

She rocks my world

Who could imagine

She'ld choose to love me

She's so fine

That little girl of mine

She don't keep no secrets

She don't tell no lies

With just one kiss

My hearts in over drive

She's so understanding

And forgiving too

She's so fine

That little girl of mine

I don't know what this life will bring

But I'm happy just to go for the ride

I don't know what she does to me

but what she does to me is just fine

That little girl of mine

I don't need no Jaguar

or no swimming pool

I got a good women

and soothes my soul

Who could imagine

She'ld choose to love me

She's so fine

That little girl of mine

Just a Bird in New York City

She looks so small you would never know

The strength that she has within

Watch her now as she readies to go

Surrender to the heavens

White clouds hover above so thin

She lifts her head to the sky

She's up and off such a glorious spin

Listen to that songful cry

Now she's up, up and away

On her musical journey

Up, up and away

Just a Bird in New York City

Lilting little melodies

Become huge crescendo

Riffing through steadily

Any way the wind blows

Now she soars higher than

Places  you've never imagined

Who would bet such a song

Could be set to rhythm and reason

Surely this is magic I see

She let's the music set her free

So free

Now she's up, up and away

On her musical her journey

Up, up and away

Just a bird in New York City

Such a bird in New York City

Beneath those constellations

Sun has set

Beyond the horizon

Moon has risen

In the outer realms

Stars shining

Over my head

World is silent

All is peaceful and still

It's a whisper

It's a sigh

It's a moment

You can't pass by

Right here by my side

Beneath those constellations

Crickets chirping

In the dark

Nightingale singing

Now it's twilight

A quiet moment

We're all alone

Everything is calm

Now we're finally home

It's a whisper

It's a sigh

It's a moment

You can't pass by

Right here by my side

Beneath those constellations

Key West Time

The sun is shining

Ain't a cloud in the sky

I got the top pulled down

Got by baby by my side

Take south bound U. S.  one

Headed straight for fun

Leaving all our troubles and worries behind

On Key West Time

Key West Time

Key West

Key West

Key West

Key West

We’re going down to Key West

And have us a real good time

There's a frozen Margaretta

That's calling my name

At a bar in Oldtown

Where we'll rock the night away

Nobody has a care

We'll be working on our tans

Leaving all our troubles and worries behind

On Key West Time

Key West Time

So if you get those winter time blues

Longing for that I love you

Pack you bages and hit the road

You don't need a map

Here's all you need to know

Take south bound U. S.  one

Headed straight for fun

Leaving all our troubles and worries behind

On Key West Time

Key West Time

Key West

Key West

Key West

Key West

We’re going down to Key West

And have us a real good time

The Trickle Down Blues

They said give us a tax break

And we'll give you all jobs

The money will come back to you

It will rain down from the clouds

So we gave them the money

And they hid it all away

And they outsourced the jobs

And they're still laughing today

We got the trickle down blues

'cause we ain't seen a dime trickle down

We got the trickle down blues

We got the trickle down blues

We got the trickle down blues

'cause we ain't seen a dime trickle down

Once I had a house

But the bank took it away

They kept raising the payments

Until I just couldn't pay

I called the bank for help

But they just hung up the phone

Now I'm headed for a rental

On the poor side of town

We got the trickle down blues

'cause we ain't seen a dime trickle dow

We got the trickle down blues

We got the trickle down blues

We got the trickle down blues

'cause we ain't seen a dime trickle down

There ain't no jobs nowhere

We've searched both high and low

But bankers still get bonuses

And we're headed skid row

But the times are a changing

Ain't gonna take no more

They'll be millions of us marching

And we'll knock right on their doors

We got the trickle down blues

'cause we ain't seen a dime trickle down

We got the trickle down blues

We got the trickle down blues

We got the trickle down blues

'cause we ain't seen a dime trickle down

The End of the American Dream

They tell us it's Democracy

We're terrorists on their soil

Sounds more like Theocracy

But its really about oil

A business is a person

Someone that has wealth

We haven't learned our lesson

We haven't earned our health

Speak up speak up

Time to be heard

Show up show up

Time to be seen

Wake up wake up

It's the end of the American

End of the American Dream

They said "give us a tax break"

And we'll give you lots of jobs

Because we're the job creators

And we hold all the cards

They tell us it's Democracy

We're terrorists on their soil

Sounds more like Theocracy

But its really about oil

A NewWorld is Possible

They've taken our right to negotiate

They won't pay us a living wage

They don't pay fair tax and they operate

Like they believe we are their slaves

We'll if your tired of all their lies

Stand up, join the movement and Occupy

We're gonna change this world

One day at a time, 'cause

We believe, we believe, we believe

A new world is possible

We believe, we believe, we believe

A new world is possible

They perpetuate inequality

They use age, color and sex

They sell our privacy as a commodity

Endanger lives in pursuit of profit

We'll if your tired of all their lies

Stand up, join the movement and Occupy

We're gonna change this world

One day at a time, 'cause

Take Me in Your Loving Arms Tonight

Every time I'm near her

Her smile takes me away

From this world of disappointment

To our lovers holiday

And sometimes in the darkness

I feel her start to move

Coming close to me just when

The chill of night sets in

Take me in your loving arms tonight

Take me in your loving arms tonight

Don't leave me cold and blue

Dreaming about you

Take me in your loving arms tonight

Baby I can't promise

A life without a care

But I swear I'll be faithful

Till the man calls me upstairs

And if it all gets crazy

And you feel you need to leave

Come close to me and then

I'll prove my love again

Take me in your loving arms tonight

Take me in your loving arms tonight

Don't leave cold and blue

Dreaming about you

Take me in your loving arms tonight

Oh they'll be hard times and troubles

But we'll always have this love

Nothing can ever come between us

Cause baby we can rise above

Take me in your loving arms tonight

Take me in your loving arms tonight

Don't leave cold and blue

Dreaming about you

Take me in your loving arms tonight

I Love That Car

I got a candy apple red mustang

There's nothing faster

Zero to sixty in nothing flat

Yea she's a go getta

If you wanna see her, you better look quick.

She'll be history before you can blink

I love that car

I love that car

Once had a women but I let her go

I just couldn't keep her

She wanted me to trade her for an Eldorado

Not my red senorita

No one comes between us and that's a fact

I keep her engine humming and I'm proud of that

I love that car

I love that car

Women will come and go in your life

They always what you to give

Some what your money

Some what your soul

But my sweet little ride

Just wants to rock and roll

If you need satisfaction in your life

You don't need a bartender

Buy your self a junker and fix her up

There's nothing finer

She won't ask no questions or tell you no lies

And all she wants to do is take you for a ride

I love that car

I love that car

California

That Santa Anna Breeze is calling me

Back to the wine country

Where the rivers flow like chardonnay

And the music plays all day

You and I will be rolling

Down that gentle hillside

Watching the balloons rising

Over the Bristlecone Pines

California

California

She's the midnight moon that follows you home

Just to make sure you're OK

She's the gentle breeze blowing through your hair

When the Sun comes out to play

California

I remember lake Anza

Playing guitar down by the shore

Serenading the angels

Like an Island troubadour

The days were long and sunny then

But now the time has flown by

And I miss the pure inspiration

Of the California sky

Faithful Companion

When I have a need for conversation

Her voice helps me unwind

And I feel at ease as she reveals her special meaning

Listen as she gathers information

For a moment we leave it all behind

While the world outside our door is haplessly waiting

Faithful companion

Guide us through these days

Faithful companion

Take the wheel as our ship sets sail

Faithful companion

Sometimes very late in the darkness

She comes to me and takes control

And I’m overwhelmed by the love I feel

And I know there’s nothing in this world as real

Faithful companion

Guide us through these days

Faithful companion

Take the wheel as our ship sets sail

Faithful companion

Love Comes and Goes

Sun streams through my bedroom window

As I crush my cloud blue pillow

Like a mothers alarm clock

It just won't go away, it just won't go away

We're all on missions of our own

No time to stop and say hello

We're just falling aimlessly

Like leaves on their journey

To the frozen ground, not making a sound

Love comes and goes

Like a midnight Train

That takes you to the

Pleasure and the pain

Love comes and goes

It'll leave you weak

Like a heart attack

Love comes and goes

If only we could just look up

From our designer coffee cups

And find some eyes to look into

And listen to their truth

We're all on missions of our own

No time to stop and say hello

We're just falling aimlessly

Just like leaves on their journey

To the frozen ground

Not making a sound

We're all on missions of our own

No time to stop and say hello

We're just falling aimlessly

Like leaves on their journey

To the frozen ground, not making a sound

Love comes and goes

Like a midnight Train

That takes you to the

Pleasure and the pain

Love comes and goes

It'll leave you weak

Like a heart attack

Love comes and goes

Too Big To Fail

Once we were the light on the hill

A beacon a for the world to see

We stood for truth and justice

Yea that was the American way

Now our government bows to Wall Street 

And does just what it's told

They declare war for profit

They must have sold their souls

It's a corporate need

It's corporate greed

It's corporate domination

Too Big to Fail

The laws don't apply

Too Big to Fail

No need to justify

It must be swell

When your too big

Too Big to Fail

The supreme court's in their pocket
They have gone beyond their reach
Corporation's are now people
And money is now speech 

They spend our taxes on warfare

Then they cry about the national debt
There is no money for healthcare
'cause they gave it to the one percent

It's a corporate need

It's corporate greed

It's corporate domination

Too Big to Fail

The laws don't apply

Too Big to Fail

No need to justify

It must be swell

When your too big

Too Big to Fail

With senators in their pockets

They believe they're chosen by God

To control the wealth of nations

With a wink and a nod

Too Big to Fail

The laws don't apply

Too Big to Fail

No need to justify

It must be swell

When your too big

Too Big to Fail
