Walk With Me 03:12
And I feel That I’d like to walk with you And I know That I’d like to talk with you I’m no fool And I want you And I feel That I’d like to run with you And I know That I’d like to hide with you Lose my cool And I want you And I feel That I’d like to rock with you And I know That I’d like roll with you Yes it’s true And I want you

Strut 03:23
Movin’ down the street Lookin’ good & feelin’ neat Walkin’ down the road Steppin’ to the beat Got some lightnin’ in my feet Walkin’ down the road Then I saw her face in the sky Kaleidoscope a 1000 eyes Fixed my gaze ‘til the sunrise Dawned on me as I realized Clairvoyant crawled in my head Stoked every fire I fed Prescient move to have led Road down I shouldn’t tread Picking up the slack Jump ahead then double back Walkin’ down the road Knockin’ on the sugar shack Rush could give a heart attack Walkin’ down the road Then I heard her voice in the wind Sweet melodic vibration Abandoned all predestined plans Undivided attention Hoogah Joogah Loogah You talkin’ to me Hoogah Joogah Loo You wantin’ me Hoogah Joogah Loogah You walkin’ to me Hoogah Joogah Loo Come to me Sifting thru the sand Time keeps slippin’ through my hand Walkin’ down the road Trackin’ like a boomarang Locked in on my home again Walkin’ down the road Then she took me by the hand Led me to a foreign land Where the strange trip then began Revealed to me her hidden plan Clairvoyant crawled in my head Stoked every fire I had fed Prescient move to have led Road down I shouldn’t tread Instinctual mind to have read Knew every desire I had bred Should’ve stayed home in bed She said I’d be better off dead

A Woman 03:29
Sometimes you really think you know someone Somehow you feel that they’re the one But they turn and then hurt you The very one you thought was true And I know what I need to do I must be long rid of you Please go away I freely will confess I was fooled tricked and licked by the best Thanks no need to stay Cause a woman can make you come alive Or a woman can cut you down to size I’ve been dormant here too long to stay and lie A woman can make you realize Sometimes you really think you found a friend Someone on whom you can depend But their true colours are soon shown The very one you thought you’d known And I know what I need to complete I must take to walk a new beat Thanks good luck good-bye I gladly shall attest Farewell to you is the best Please don’t ask why Cause a woman can make you come alive Or a woman can cut you down to size I’ve been dormant here too long to stay and lie Cause a woman can make you heal A woman can fake it real A woman can bring it all alive

Crashland 04:34
I walk you talk Retreat defeat Creepin’ to the edge Leanin’ ‘gainst the ledge Peering down below On my tippy tippy toes I freefall for you From the sky My pulse is racin’ Do or die Air’s wearing tearing Against my skin Hallucinatin’ An illusion Crashland I’m gonna hang 10 Gotta pretend That I’ll be alright Crashland I’m gonna time bend I need a good friend To make the night Crashland I’m gonna vibe send I need a soul mend To see the light Crashland I’m gonna get zen I gotta change trend I’ll take flight I move you groove Pretend befriend Then I take the plunge Desperation lunge Falling in a dream To a bottomless ravine Rip cord is tearing From my hand The countdown’s started To the end In a manic panic My heart pounds Hopes fading at the Speed of sound Spinning and gyrating Blackin’ while gravitatin’ In a deadspin viral spiral Vertigo a running wild Twistin & a tumblin’ Lightning rippin thunder rumblin’ Revolving & rotatin’ Out of body levitatin’

Pathways 04:17
If you’d like to see What’s become of me Guess we all change It isn’t good to stay the same Should you pass by my face Familiar shot you can’t place Give it time light will shine A lost moment of you and I As the nighttime looms My heart will still be drifting When the morning dawns Your soul is lightly lifting If you’d like to hear All the news of yesteryear Not to linger past Make the present moment last Should you wake in a dream In a dream is it real or make-believe As the daylight shines My mind is calmly thinking When the evening calls Your light is gently sinking As you draw the blinds To end another day Should our pathways fail Good luck along the way

Goin' Down 03:24
I’m goin’ down since you left Forgot my name With the hounds since you trashed Threw me away World’s spinnin’ ‘round since you turned Walked out on me I hear no sound when I call Futilely I’ll be rising pick myself up Lockstep to the top I’m climbin’ up from the rubble Where I found my heart Risin’ up on the double From what tore it apart Sky’s clearing sun’s nearing Upon my cracked face Blood pulsating emanating Through my weathered veins From where springs this feeling nobody knows Starts and stops comes and goes Destiny reeling changing my mind As the feelings unwind
7.
Driving this road so long Don’t know where it’ll roll Cruising the highway Unsure if there’s a toll Searchin’ for a signpost Tell me which way I should go I had a pretty passenger Now you know she’s long gone Had a shotgun princess That seat’s vacant light is on Looking for some company As I pull into this town Pit stop is what I need One-on-one TLC Been down so many roads Need direction where to go Keep my headlights shining Deep into the night As the sun sets west I’ll drive into the night The moon breaks that far crest I’ll hug the corners tight Won’t pull my red ride over ‘Til morning’s pre-dawn light
8.
Never wandered out alone Never strayed too far from home Now I’ve left my bed Confusion lies ahead There off in the distance You stand offering resistance The wall ‘gainst which I lean Begins to fall If I lose you now A part of me would die If I lose you now My heart would surely sigh It’s no lie Scars scratched upon my face The pain of you I taste Cuts through me a deep slice Of jagged tears of ice Here armed for destruction Aimed at my fragile construction The precipice on which I stand Begins to slide Wounded on bended knee Guard is down hear my plea White flag defenseless Calling out S.O.S.

I was walking down by the bay Saw you ‘neath the sun’s rays Then you turned and looked away Sunshine left clouds filled my day On my path I set forth East West South and North Lone rider take left or right Through the morn into the night Have you ever been so lonely child Have you ever felt the clouds and rain Have you ever been so lonely child As lonely as I am right now I was drifting by the oceanside Caught your footprints in the tide Then the waves caused them to hide I was pained and lost inside Road ahead slightly bends Will it ever come to end Treading thin on tires I roll Searching for the half to make me whole I was racing in the jungle heat Crossed the path you had beat Then the foliage came to meet My dead-end heart began to sink
10.
Been outside in a timeless space Endless thoughts enquire my tastes Time stops then stumbles by Different place wish I could try Second guessed A hundred million times Hard to play the game When they draw those blinds Set adrift Far from home Wish I’d get back To where I am from So won’t you spend the night with me I’ve been hurting for your company girl Won’t you spend the night with me With me Won’t you spend the night with me I’ve been so down & lonely Won’t you spend the night with me With me Used to live Life as it came Never thought of Consequential gains Take me back To who I was Remind me Of what I can do for you

Signs 06:11
Wonder if it’s true or if it’s false Does it have a heartbeat or a pulse Don’t hang ‘round when things flat-line Got better uses of my time Ponder if it’s real or make-believe Beneath the mask do you deceive As you reach for my right hand Time to make you see and understand You run on a red light Stop on green Break on the freeway Backroad speed So I’m changing Shifting gears As the drawbridge Quickly nears Tell me of a guy whom you met As if you’d care to place a Vegas bet Got no sleight of hand to hide What you see you get with no surprise Then you call on me to make my move Don’t respond to someone on cue Got no drama role to play Yesteryear tomorrow or today The fog lifts as lines connect the dots Take the turn-off and check my blind spot Look in the rearview ahead the coast the clear Making inroads as I take the wheel Think I know who I’m dealing with If it is real or just a tryst Feel it as you take my left arm You seek not love but to do harm In this game I’m not for you Find another to easily amuse Got no time to idly hang out Time to turn off with little doubt You run on a red light Stop on green Break on the freeway Back road speed Turn right in the left lane Forward reverse Signs you are making So perverse So I’m changing Shifting gears As the drawbridge Quickly nears Check my safety Note the time As I can read All the signs
