I’m marching back To get to you & I won’t stop Until we’re through Double step In overtime Won’t break my pace Breeching the line I see a roadblock detour dead end up ahead Say it’s the wrong way toll bay light changing to red Pressing on Big engine smiles Day turns to dusk Clocking the miles Lock in the cruise Full overdrive Radio up Feeling alive As I see the tiny stars splintered across the desert sky Jump the gaping drawbridge sailing like a bird could fly Suspended high in mid air pausing just to think of you Beauty of the moment resonates its lovely tune Space surf navigate far flung across the starry Milky Way Hop upon a lightning moonbeam ride it where you stay Zip along flash streaming at a light speed galactic clip Lock in your coordinates to rendezvous this trip Hidden speed trap Cops on my tail Turnpike revs spike Don’t wanna fail Riding the edge Redlining fire Pressing G-force Lighting my tires It looks like gridlock blown shocks engine’s gonna blow Think I’ve got brake fail high tail I don’t wanna slow Body spins out Flying around Wheels lose their tread Leaving the ground Soaring sky high Into the air Looking around Slow motion stare

Looking at you Cooking for two Fixing the stew Stirring the brew Come walk with me Chit chat at three Down by the quay Gaze at the sea Going my way Please don’t delay Did I convey Depart today Daylight full moon Taking off soon Push off high noon Don’t change the tune Retreat or go Stay put or heave ho The call’s in the palm of your hand Sit tight or bail Call it heads or tails Demarcate a line in the sand Go left or right Sit down or take flight Demonstrate just where you stand Make the first move Or stay home and groove Awaiting your beckon command Set on my heels Behind the wheel Sealing the deal Faking it real Taken aback Defend attack Run with the pack Pick up the slack Pushed it too far Lower the bar Three under par Au revoir Gut wrench my hands Vow to disband Heed the command Was the demand Lay down your sword Resign the board Survey the ward Tally the score Roll call the names Ledger all claims Level the frame Checkmate the game Wipe clean the slate Package the freight Lock up the gate Don’t take the bait All clear to fly Into the sky So dry your eye So long good-bye

I said I’m coming home Why don’t you get off my back Jack Yes I’m all alone Why not cut me some slack Mac Give me time to roam Just past the crest of the hill Bill Said there’s nothing to atone Why don’t you take a big pill Phil Sometimes I don’t know why folks like to ride Upon your back with each and every stride As the waves fight against the tide Upon their surface my spirit rides I said I’m making my way Why don’t you stay in your lane Jane Stop pulling on my chain I ask why you gotta drain Laine Might not be seeing you again Said you’re making me grey Faye Maybe find a new friend Think it’s best to stay away Ray I’m warnin’ you once Warnin’ you twice You do it again I won’t say it thrice I’m counting down three Countin’ down two If I get to one Don’t know what I’ll do Think it’s time to adios There’s need to feel bad Chad A good time to au revoir No need to feel sad Brad Gonna ride in the sunset Try to find me some zen Jen Maybe try to meditate Got no lot to pen Gwen

Incognito 02:45
So I picked up the morning news What I read didn’t connect Threw it away in disgust Nothing in there for me What you want to do Bout me and you Bout me and you Where you want to go Up high down low Up high down low Who you gonna play There is no way There is no way How you want to flow Incognito Incognito They’re bearing down Deafening sound Boots on the ground Release the hound Turned on the local 5 o’clock instead What I saw didn’t resonate So I pulled that plug Nothing of value to me They’re locking in Light getting dim Riding the rim Kick to the shin

Mona 04:08
Mona Mona Mona Mona Stone me boldly Hold me coldly I could not believe What she said to me It was a relief When she let me be Heard that knock on my door Stop drop roll on the floor Tag up tally the score Just can’t take anymore Sound the silent sound alarm Protect me keep from harm Stopped by all of your charms Checkmate fully disarmed Rhonda Rhonda Rhonda Rhonda Fond of Wanna Bond love Gonna I could not foresee What she do to me Was no guarantee That she’d set me free I could not portend Which path she would take I froze in my tracks When she hit the breaks I could not predict What her move would be I crept to the edge When she turned to me

Door squeaking Floor creaking Blinds tweaking I’m coming back to you Truth lying Hope sighing Joy crying To make the feeling true Pulse seizing Breath wheezing Mind freezing The moment’s never through Heart priming I’m climbing I really want you It ain’t no fad I really need you Second guessing Poor first impression Tad distressing Full court and pressing Fever building Potential gilding Flower wilting Axis is tilting Double daring True bonds are tearing Tempers flaring Patience is wearing Stolen taken Stirred and then shaken Time crawlin’ Hand scrawlin’ Car stallin’ I’m gunnin’ back to you Light dodging Night lodging Massaging To make the feeling cool Hands shaking Knees quaking Head faking Making my way to you Pulse beatin’ Retreatin’ I really want you It ain’t no fad I really need you I really want you It is so bad I really need you Sea sifting Clouds drifting Time shifting I’m running back to you Heart beating Love fleeting Soul cheating To make the feeling true Free fallin’ Stone wallin’ Ass haulin’ So to get back to you Heat seeking It’s peaking

Iron-Ons 02:59
What do you want Cause I wanna know What have you got Reveal nice and slow Why do you vaunt Ain’t no need to show Quick change the font Feel it’s growing old Don’t really know if it is right or wrong All that concerns me sing my favourite song Dispatch straight from Lahore to Lebanon Velvet patch sewn into my iron-ons What do you state For I must inquire Expiry date Discard on the fire Come forth placate Situation dire Align rotate Feel I’ve blown my tire Got me crawling on the dirt upon my hands and knees Gluttony reformed now all I do is aim to please Swallow it whole now don’t let gag reflex come to seize Peel it off slowly know how I like a real good tease What is it you want from me What exactly do you need Where is it you want to go How am I supposed to know Why do you call Vacant no one home Restart the stall There’s no dial tone Prepare the fall Won’t be grabbing hold Quick stash the haul Feel it’s time to fold I don’t really know ‘bout what you think’s an open page I just know that you want it all for minimum wage Separate the mission launch prepare for second stage Seeking refuge midst the burning jets’ unbridled rage Won’t fall upon my sword Nor go back on my word Won’t shortchange your toll Or renege my soul Yes I heard it’s true that you might be an open book All I want’s a simple chance for a quick second look Don’t know if from the first impression you mistook All I know you got me good with the double hook

Saunter down the lane Thinkin’ of you again Smile in the pouring rain I’m feeling better Remember what you said Replay it in my head Contentment fully fed Remove my fetter So what you gonna do (who) Talking to you (me) Will you give me some time (when) Hoping for a sign What move you gonna make (what) Is it give or take (how) Been waiting for a while (why) Walkin’ a country mile I lay down in my bed To rest my weary head & tie up some loose threads Remove my sweater Picture scenarios In hi-def stereo By Lake Ontario I write a letter Then the clouds rolled in offshore Could not take it any more Fled to shelter deep indoors Lightning struck me to the core & so I’m rolling on Moving right or wrong Holding staying strong Said I’m going long Yeah I’m standing tall Possession of the ball There ain’t no stop or stall Going for it all Miss your big brown eyes See them in the sunrise It comes as no surprise How my heart’s feeling Then it got ripped and torn Tossed ashore left forlorn Striving to be reborn Despite me reelin’ So there now what is new How is it that you do I’m waiting in the queue With bread and butter Has it now come to pass Flown the coup at long last Lower the sail half-mast A broken rudder As the wave comes bearing down Left me standing so dumbfound Brace myself against the pound Overboard and washed aground As the winds come drifting in Don’t know where I should begin It is much to my chagrin Situation that I’m in

Laying Low 03:20
Coming around my friend Be seeing you once again Lurking around the bend Hitting return to send Writing me off As a futile waste of time Emitting a scoff Scratch me from your mind Cross off my name With an idle flick of wrist Censure your shame Shroud it in the mist Zipping firm all the gaps Tightening up the straps Putting it under wraps Battening down the hatch It’s how that I like to have it roll Busting out of here Don’t come disturb my even flow Packing up my gear I’m shy I don’t really like to show Lone path I bravely steer Leave me to be I’m laying low The end has commandeered Spreading the word V2 With such ill-advised intent Speech it is slurred Translation is bent Driving the stake Striking in the final nail Striving to break Hear the stanchion wail Approach the breakpoint Attempt to shove me Keep trying to silence Bound and hush me Veins are popping Eyes are frantic Window is shutting Nerves pedantic Teeth are grinding Animalistic Instincts are sighing Mind ballistic Arms are wresting Strive to break free Plot my grand escape You’ll never catch me

Check my watch time and again Wondering where is my friend Second hand ticks back in time Navigate this narrow line As I stumble on a rock and succumb down on bended knee Feel the weight of the wide world relentlessly weigh down on me Pressed by gravity facedown upon an alien planet Resurrect myself once more & activate the after jets Apollo goes round the moon Hope that I can see you soon Emerge scathed from the dark side Wounded heart & damaged pride Long bomb deep calm hi mom so long must go solo tears dry bye Took your spurred stiletto and spiked down upon my baby toe Eclipsed all the sunlight so that you could make the darkness grow Twist in your machete heel then strike it with a fancy pose Damper my horizon hope with a dead dying wilted rose Flame flickers deep in the night Stalking shadows strive to fight Embers start to lose their glow Minute hand begins to slow Flow stumbling right back to you Roll tumbling without a clue Bumbling don’t know what to do Slow crumbling coming unglued Heard that you’ve written me off From Kennedy to Khrushchev A million to one long shot Snip clip a ponytail & then tie in a knot Ship to a foreign land in which time had forgot Shakespeare Delorean of what’s been sold and bought Clean sweep the hubris clear of debris that’s been sought Thinking about you Dreaming a lot too Picturing your face Contour I ghost trace Rewinding your touch Missing it so much Recall the laughter Hope ever after Soul feels lost on down the road Doesn’t know which way to go Feeling stretched out wearing thin Must regroup pull in again Flow stumbling right back to you Roll tumbling without a clue Bumbling don’t know what to do Slow crumbling coming unglued Heard that you’ve written me off From Kennedy to Khrushchev A million to one long shot As I laid it out pure bare & gave it all I simply had Never ever occurred to me that it was a passing fad As you took your talon hands & tore apart my bleeding heart Segregate the pieces so that we would always be apart Tsunami feeling came with a sudden rush Buckled my knees hard and a making me blush Some folks may claim that it’s a trifle bit lush Compactor settings locked to crinkle and crush Next was the salute when you proclaimed shotgun Paint-chipped the finish as I strove to outrun Seeking a cheap thrill said you did it for fun Unfurl the white flag cause I’m one and then done Making me sad vibrato Dragging me bad the grotto Breaking my soul like Pluto Moving like gold black judo Feel the sun popping up Might replenish my cup Light step skipping a beat Recharged feeling so neat Might reenter the vibe This flow want to imbibe Carefree riding the wave Cresting into my cave
