Won't You Come My Way 03:04
lyrics
buy track
I saw you hanging by the corner store Blew right past me out the exit door Picked my jaw up off the kitchen floor Left me wantin’ hurtin’ for some more The moment left an imprint on my mind Not the average ordinary kind Instead the type to go home and rewind Won’t you come my way Chase my blues away Change my rainy day Today Won’t you come my way Hold the clouds at bay Be my lone sunray Today Next morning awoke feelin’ so intrigued Roused from a state of comatose fatigue Friends say watch out she’s way out of your league Catwalkin’ like the model Cheryl Tiegs You took a match & struck a dormant wick Lit a lighted dynamite stick Habit I don’t really wanna kick They say that I won’t get a fleeting glance Fall flat upon my face an awkward dance Million to one odds for true romance But that just means I’ve got a fighting chance Caught you cueing in the checkout lane I got in line hoping to sustain That my luck’s not discounted in vain Venturing in uncharted terrain Soaring on a feeling mile high Fueled and fully stocked with all supplies Hope that I can fly the friendly skies She says that she loves me Says that she needs me As I knew she would Like I knew I could Says that she’s happy Says that she wants me Feelin’ oh so good As I know I should Says that she loves me Says that she needs me As I knew she would Like I knew I could Says that she’s happy Says that she wants me Feelin’ oh so good As I know I should right now

El Camino 03:24

Let’s hop in & take the El Camino Drive it down to the Pink Flamingo Two blocks south west of Mendocino Just three miles past El Capatino I think I’m starting to fall Believe I’m liking it all I’m feeling 10 feet tall In for the long haul Girlfriend’s name is Miss Angelino She hotwires fires my libido Keeps things warm just like the El Nino She’s my lovely sexy valentino Feels like it could be time Bells are starting their chime Feels like the rhythm rhymes Like I could stop on a dime What I’m feeling Left me reeling You’ve been stealing Got me kneeling When you said we were thru & that there wasn’t no more knocked me right on the floor I was grieving Late this evening Not perceiving Disbelieving When you said that it was done and that there wasn’t no more walked out right thru the door Think I need double cappuccino After that catch some Tarantino Perhaps a little Al Pacino Can’t go wrong with Bobby DeNiro Did you know now what she threatened to do Said she was done and that we were through Let her know what she heard wasn’t true Must explain it didn’t play out & go down that way

I Reminisce You 04:35
lyrics

Caught a brief second handed account Then thought to check out the news Did a double take and then gave pause to thought Cause what I read it smelt like a ruse I really need you Don’t want to bleed you I dearly miss you I wanna kiss you Don’t wanna diss you Or go dismiss you I reminisce you I wanna kiss you Hey now what do you mean As you torment and haunt Hey now my how you steam Right now what do you want Hey now what do you say As you spin and cavort Hey now please press replay Right now let me retort Caught a voice adrift in the wind & what I heard was hard to believe What it said went against & all that I know So I guess there’s a trick up your sleeve Urged it to come provide me a full view But it stretched its wings in the wind Flashed a stern look warning me to take heed The end is where you should begin Don’t know if it all was for not Our best intentions target & shot Don’t know quite what got overseen Picture perfect blown to smithereens

Solar Flare 03:09
lyrics

Cutting a deep groove Rolling back to you Obstacles removed Got nothing to prove Lightning on the move Rocking like a meteor & Charging like a minotaur Jetting like the French concord & Cresting on a wood surfboard Ride a solar flare Wind in my hair Truth or double dare Without a care Levitate to you Beneath a full moon Sun-spotted bejeweled Glycerin fuel Shooting star skimming right across the vacant desert sky Traveling light speed to be back your waiting & warming side Arcing a broad streak above the saluting stoic cacti Zip lining a sling trajectory hanging yet holding high You penned a poignant piece seeking my prompt release Quickly spun around inquired what do you mean Deserted in a canyon for a fortnight times two With a gunny sack and head full of thoughts about you & I retreat back into my cave Where I toil yeah and am enslaved If one could see my meager plight By my side they would stand and fight Launch a flare to your heart Etch and sketch on the chart & can’t you see with your eyes Across the stars how it plies As I plummet down from the mountaintop Full velocity cannot hit full stop Barreling headfirst as the brakes are shot Spigot yields not a solitary drop Edging back within the thin atmosphere Predestined fate quickly approaching near Unrelenting progress no room to veer Auto pilot locked now abandon steer

Click 02:43
lyrics

Kept on waiting by your side Feet stuck in the murky tide Sober truth I slow imbibe Contemplating where to hide Said you don’t even know me Brushing by oh so boldly Skid marks tattoo where you scold me Wry cackle coughing so coldly Left there drifting in your wake As the surf began to break Nimble limbs tremble and shake Sanded shores shook to a quake Then you go blow right by me Turn and wink back so slyly Your motions cunning and wily Wit of your words speak so dryly All the things you said to me Such talk I could not believe Your position bobs and weaves Revealing what’s up your sleeve As the clock winds down its tick Wax candle devours the wick Etch a sketch & gouge a nick You and I shall never click

Tearin' My Heart In 2 03:39

Lord you got me rockin’ My body senses poppin’ I’m rolling and not stopping Tonight You got me believing These dreams you be a weaving & I don’t plan on leaving That’s right Oh the clock is ticking & yeah the fever’s sticking The feeling I’m not kicking Take flight Crest that I’m riding The meaning I’m not hiding The moment’s not subsiding Hold tight Then it starts to turn The present gets adjourned Then all comes undone The ending to the fun Then boom goes to bust The shine loses its lust Then it’s all for not The lines connect the dots Lord you got me talking The pitch you have me hawking This flow that I’m not blocking Ignite How you got me jumping My pulse it is a pumping & heart is thud & thumping Delight Lord my soul’s been raided The glimmer dimmed & faded I’m feeling just & jaded Indict Joy I am a tasting The sip I’m not wasting The savour & not hasting Alright Then it starts to spoil The water mixed with oil World begins to spin A loss born of a win Then it starts to tear The room sucked out of air Then all starts to break Reality turns fake You’re tearin’ my heart Tearin’ my heart in two I’m positive now I’m sure you see how We’re through You’re tearin’ my heart Tearin’ my heart in two There’s certainty now It’s clear to see how We’re through You had me campaigning But now the numbers waning Support seems to be feigning Sound bite How the flock is flying There can’t be no denying This con you propose buying Red light As I book a ticket And step out of the thicket I’m feeling mighty cricket Stage right See the neon fading My outline needs some shading collapse Collage cascading Outright Then the truth is thrust Diamonds turn to dust Next it all unfurls Gleam leaps off the pearl Then the lights go out Shadows lurk in doubt As the credits run The tale woven and spun

Fake 04:10

Feelin’ kinda rusty As I head on down the road Air’s gettin’ plenty dusty Tires kickin’ gravel stones You better stop stop Think before you come ‘round again You better knock knock Find yourself a brand new friend You can file an appeal but there’s simply nothing to contend Feelin’ kinda groggy As I take this hairpin turn Sky’s gettin’ plenty foggy Leveraging the sun’s slow burn You better stop stop Things are not yet on the mend You better knock knock Think ‘bout what you did again Some personal reflection’s solely what I recommend Not gonna break Ain’t gonna run From my mistakes I’m gonna give Ain’t gonna take I want it real Don’t want no fakes No Weary and lambasted Unfolding down this straightaway Warning signs are pasted I should pit and end my day You better stop stop Think of what it could portend You better knock knock Contemplate it once again Your credit line is drawn it’s impossible to extend

Sashay 04:19

Like it when we are swaying Our bodies sashaying Like the games we are playing Don’t let your eyes be straying Like your perfect timing Rhythm you are rhyming My engine is priming Apex we are climbing Make it now Fake it wow Stake it how Break it now Take it now Shake it wow Quake it how Naked now You make me kind of crazy Just driving me Miss Daisy Head south to Acapulco You’re making me go loco Sure had enough of drama Lacking needed stamina All done with wild roses With all their pretty poses Like it when you move me Seem to always be free Why not let things be Fine as I can see

Savant 04:11

Said ring me up but you’re never home Seems no point in pickin’ up the phone Crowd about & I feel all alone Wear me down like a rock on stone Come on let’s go you delay and stall Invite me in then build up a wall Left on the hook waiting in the hall Leave on my own you begin to trawl Think I’m wakin’ up from this long endless dream Rerun of a tired worn out & played movie scene Tying up loose ends come apart at the seams Time to switch the picture to a new screen Think I’m rousin’ up from my stagnant state of mind Losing the straps which used to firmly hold & bind Tightly wound clock rapid spins & unwinds Second minute hands become intertwined What do you want Why do you flaunt My but you haunt Call the savant Hey let’s head out get out on the run Turn shoot me down not wanting any fun Introduce my friends but you turn and shun Pass the ball but you’re one and done Believe I’m rousing up from my lame nonchalance Comatose mirage in which I was firmly ensconced Your voice mail I received was my only response Felt like a ton of bricks without any nuance Now that I am stirred from my endless reverie Horizon up ahead appears uncluttered and free Open road unfolding is all I can see Time to jumpstart and commence the journey Uh oh it’s you Hope it’s not true Uh oh it's you Please don’t fool Uh-oh it’s you Why now so soon Uh-oh it’s you Quick change the tune

Passing Fad 04:28

When I feel the changing weat¬her Then you come and pull my tether We’re apart and then together Turn around and pluck my feathers Left for loss & then rebooted Found a purpose which I’m suited Feet are grounded firmly rooted Volume’s turned down yeah but no way hell nah I’m not muted uh-uh Lord how I want you Need you so bad How you’re flaunting & tease me so mad Now it is daunting It’s no passing fad How you’re haunting & lingering sad When I see the changing season Arrested booked and charged with treason Heartbeat cinching breath is seizing Prosecuted for no reason Then you came & made it better Bond is strained yeah but unfettered To a T and to the letter Multiply and round it off yeah to the nearest decimal uh-huh So I’m down now Count to 11 Don’t throw the towel Get up at 7 Been restarted Design rerouted Prepped and conditioned Armoured well-suited Rudely awakened Tossed and forsaken Hung drawn & quartered Stirred well and shaken Taste temptation Kept it platonic Lost a blind bet yeah Ain’t that ironic No concessions I can’t accept it Build a diversion I will sidestep it Sound the warning There was no heeding I’m pressing onwards Was no seceding Grasp the throttle Grippin’ bionic Approaching Mach 1 Hit supersonic Sound is breaking Hear but don’t see me Soon I’ll be long gone Jet forth and set free
