FADE TO BLACK

FADE TO BLACK


Sunday matineeIn a one dog townYou?re two seats awayI move two seats downWipe the tears from your eyesThe first kiss I stoleI walk you homeThe credits rollFade to blackFade to blackFade to blackFade to blackI hear my voiceOn the telephoneBut I?m just runningThe same old businessI feel like I?m offSomewhere so aloneJust watching us bothRunning the distanceWatching us bothSlowly pull backFade to blackFade to blackFade to blackI come homeClothes all over the placeYou?re crying in the cornerMakeup running down your faceYour case is packedThe fight startsI (? ? ? ? ? ) cursin?Baby is this the sceneWhich we been rehearsin?Is this the oneOr have I lost trackWaitin? for usTo fade to blackFade to blackFade to blackFade to blackA face wet with shameEyes filled with hurtI scream out your nameYou rip my shirtA small bungalowA late afternoonThe sunlight fallsLike a bright veilA camera pansAn empty roomThe picture dissolvesSlowly pulls backFade to blackFade to blackFade to black

FAMILY SONG

FAMILY SONG


Well ya know when you're young,
There's such a distance between you and your family.
Just can't see things from the same point of view.

Papa wants a lawyer and mama she wants an author,
And all you want is for them to want you.

Well, I saw lot of bad signs and we had some real bad timesback on the east coast.
And I guess you could say it took california to bring us close.
There was a lot of hard livin' and some stone cold women on the east coast.
And I saw my papa turn away when I need him the most.
And california, she's an angel.
Lo, so heavenly dressed
And the pacific she's a woman
The lord must have loved her best.
I got a california rainbow to come give them thunder clouds a rest
And the mountain is my friend now, she put me to her test
Well you know every father has dreams and schemes fo his own kid.
And dreaming it ain't been declaired no capital crime
But I just hope when I grow up to have my own kids
I'll love them all I can and let 'em make their own minds
Now you know how a mother can hold the son through understanding.
And my father he once held me close by crying.
Whoa, and my mama's love it don't ever leave me standing.
And papa's love it just leaves me smiling.
Whoa, and my mama she's a rainbow,
Gotta see hen on sunday when she's dressed
Whoa, and my papa he's a good man, he gives me and mama his best.
Whoa, my mama she's a rainbow, come to give them thunder clouds a rest.
And my family is my friend now california put us through her test.

FIRE

FIRE


I'm driving in my car
I turn on the radio
I'm pulling you close
You just say no
You say you don't like it
But girl, I know you're a liar
'Cause when we kiss girl
Fire

Well, late at night
I'm taking you home
I say I wanna stay
You say you wanna be alone
You say you don't love me
Girl you can't hide your desire
Girl when we kiss
Fire

You got a hold on me right from the start
With a grip so thight I can't tear it apart
my girl's so jumpin' and she's like a fool
Your kisses are burning
But your heart stays cool

Romeo and Juliet
Same sort of delight
Oh baby need I beg
A love I did't deny
Your words say stay
Don't you worry stay mine
'Cause when we kiss
Fire

Fire
Burning in my soul
It's out of control

Greetz,MikeY

FOLLOW THAT

FOLLOW THAT


If your heart is restless and you can't go on
When you're tired and weary, but you can't go on
Well a distant dream is a callin' you
Then there's just one thing that you can do

Yeah, you gotta follow that dream wherever that dream may lead you
You gotta follow that dream wherever that dream may lead

Now if I walk in dreams
And if I talk in dreams
I need someone with a love I can trust
And together we'll search for the things that come to us
Baby in dreams, in dreams

Now every man has the right to live
The right to a chance to give what he has to give
The right to fight for the things he believes
For the things that come to him in dreams

Baby in dreams, I walk in dreams
I talk in dreams
I live in dreams

FRANKIE

FRANKIE


Dark weekends in the sun out on Chelsea Road
Descending the stairs, Frankie, my one
Check your makeup in the mirror c'mon babe let's go
We'll dance 'round this dirty town 'til the night is all done
Let all the finer things sleep alone tonight
Let all the minor kings lose their thrones tonight
Don't worry about us, baby, we'll be alright

Well everybody's dying, this town's closing down
They're all sittin' down at the courthouse waiting for 'em to take the flag down
I see strange flashes in the sky up above
Gonna spend the night at the drive-in with the one that I love
At dusk the stars all appear on the screen
Yeah, just like they do each night in my dreams
But tonight's no dream, Frankie, I can feel myself too
Well now and forever my love is for you

Walk softly tonight little stranger
Yeah into these shadows we're passing through
Talk softly tonight, little angel
You make all my dream worlds come true

Well lately I've been standing out in the freezing rain
Readin' them want ads out on Chelsea Road
I'm winging down the street in search of new games
Hustling through these nightlights' diamond glow
Well Frankie I don't know what I'm gonna find
Maybe nothing at all, maybe a world I can call mine
Shining like these streetlights down here on the strand
Bright as the rain in the palm of your hand

Walk softly tonight, little stranger
Into the shadows where lovers go
Talk softly to me, little angel
Whisper your secrets so soft and low

FROGGIE WENT A-COURTIN'

FROGGIE WENT A-COURTIN'


Froggie went a-courtin' and he did ride, a - huh
Froggie went a-courtin' and he did ride, a - huh
Froggie went a-courtin' and he did ride
Sword and pistol by his side, a - huh, a - huh, fare the well

Well he rode down to Miss Mouse's door
Where he had often been before

He took Miss Mousie on his knee
Said "Miss Mousie will you marry me"

I'll have to ask my Uncle Rat
See what he will say to that

Well, Uncle Rat laughed and shook his fat sides
To think his niece would be a bride

Well, Uncle Rat rode off to town
To buy his niece a wedding gown

Where will the wedding supper be
Way down yonder in a hollow tree

What will the wedding supper be
A fried misquito and a roasted flea

First to come in were to little ants
Fixing around to have a dance

Next to come in was a bumble bee
Bouncing a fiddle on his knee

Next to come in was a fat sassy lad
Thinks himself as big as his dad

Thinks himself a man indeed
Because he chews the tobacco weed

And next to come in was a big tomcat
He swallowed the frog and the mouse and the rat

FROM SMALL THINGS (BIG THINGS ONE DAY COME)

FROM SMALL THINGS (BIG THINGS ONE DAY COME)


At sixteen she quit high school to
make her fortune in the promised land
She got a job behind the counter in an
all night hamburger stand
She wrote faithfully home to mama
"Now mama don't you worry none"
From small things, mama
Big things one day come

It was late one Friday he pulled in
out of the dark
He was tall and handsome; first she
took his order, then she took his heart
They bought a house up on the hillside
Where little feet soon would run
From small things, mama
Big things one day come

BRIDGE:
Oh but love is fleeting
it's sad but true
But when your heart is beating
You don't wanna hear the news
She packed her bags
and with a Wyomie County real estate man
She ran down to Tampa
In an "El Dorado Grande"
She wrote back home, "Dear Mama
Life is just heaven in the sun
From small things, mama
Big things one day come"

Well she shot him dead
On a sunny Florida road
When they caught her all she said
Was she couldn't stand the way he drove

Back home lonesome Johnny
Prays for his baby's parole
He waits on the hillside
Where the Wyomie waters roll
At his feet and almost grown now
A blue-eyed daughter and a handsome son
Well from small things, mama
Big things one day come
Well from small things, mama

FUN, FUN, FUN

FUN, FUN, FUN


Well she got her daddy's car
And she cruised through the hamburger stand now
Seems she forgot all about the library
Like she told her old man now
And with the radio blasting
Goes cruising just as fast as she can now

And she'll have fun fun fun
'Til her daddy takes the T-Bird away
(Fun fun fun 'til her daddy takes the T-Bird away)

Well the girls can't stand her
'Cause she walks looks and drives like an ace now
(You walk like an ace now you walk like an ace)
She makes the Indy 500 look like a Roman chariot race now
(You look like an ace now you look like an ace)
A lotta guys try to catch her
But she leads them on a wild goose chase now
(You drive like an ace now you drive like an ace)

And she'll have fun fun fun
'Til her daddy takes the T-Bird away
(Fun fun fun 'til her daddy takes the T-Bird away)

(solo)

Well you knew all along
That your dad was gettin' wise to you now
(You shouldn't have lied now you shouldn't have lied)
And since he took your set of keys
You've been thinking that your fun is all through now
(You shouldn't have lied now you shouldn't have lied)

But you can come along with me
'Cause we gotta a lot of things to do now
(You shouldn't have lied now you shouldn't have lied)

And we'll have fun fun fun now that daddy took the T-Bird away
(Fun fun fun now that daddy took the T-Bird away)
And we'll have fun fun fun now that daddy took the T-Bird away
(Fun fun fun now that daddy took the T-Bird away)
(fun fun now that daddy took the T-Bird away)
(fun fun now that daddy took the T-Bird away)
(fun fun now that daddy took the T-Bird away)
(fun fun now that daddy took the T-Bird away)
(fun fun now that daddy took the T-Bird away)
(fun fun now that daddy took the T-Bird away)
