"Carmichael"

"Carmichael"



Silk scarf and a napkin
Hidden in a drawer
Two hundred bucks in an envelope
Labeled lenore

"maybe she shouldn't see this
She should never know,"
Said the widow's best friend anne,
"i'll just take it and go

I'll give her the money later
Say it was in his shoe
That way she'll never find out...
That'll do"

"carmichael was a credit to the force
In everything he did
It's like we got a big hole in our side
Where he fit

If any of you officers
Would like to say a word
Now would be the time
To be heard"

"thank you chief, i sure would
He was a partner of mine
He was always very careful
And played it straight down the line"

One by one the officers spoke
And the service drew to a close
He had no living relatives
But his wife who never showed

She just couldn't face the men
They all understood
They got in their cars and drove home
As directly as they could

"carmichael you asshole,"
The new widow sobbed beneath her veil,
"shot down in the line of duty
Is this how justice never fails?

I wish that things were better
When we said goodbye today
But we had our share of good times though
Along the way

Remember
'hey mr. las vegas
You used to be so cool!!'
We met wayne newton down at pebble beach
And you acted like a fool

But we both just couldn't stop laughin'
It seemed so funny to us
We left our luggage back in the room and almost missed the bus

That was a great vacation
Maybe the best of all
But goddamnit carmichael you're dead now
And i'm talkin' to the wall"

The force got back to normal
Carmichael was replaced
For one year nobody parked a car
In carmichael's space

"Change Your Mind"

"Change Your Mind"



When you get weak,
and you need to test your will
When life's complete,
but there's something
missing still
Distracting you from this
must be the one you love
Must be the one whose magic touch
can change your mind
Don't let another day go by
without the magic touch

Distracting you
(change your mind)
Supporting you
(change your mind)
Embracing you
(change your mind)
Convincing you
(change your mind)

When you're confused and
the world has got you down
When you feel used and
you just can't play the clown
Protecting you from this
must be the one you love
Must be the one whose magic touch
can change your mind
Don't let another day go by
without the magic touch

Protecting you
(change your mind)
Restoring you
(change your mind)
Revealing you
(change your mind)
Soothing you
(change your mind)

You hear the sound,
you wait around
and get the word
You see the picture
changing everything
you've heard
Destroying you with this
must be the one you love
Must be the one
whose magic touch
can change your mind
Don't let another day go by
without the magic touch

Destroying you
(change your mind)
Embracing you
(change your mind)
Protecting you
(change your mind)
Confining you
(change your mind)
Distracting you
(change your mind)
Supporting you
(change your mind)
Distorting you
(change your mind)
Controlling you
(change your mind)
Change your mind
(change your mind)
Change your mind, change your mind
(change your mind)
Change your mind
(change your mind)

The morning comes
and there's an odor in the room
The scent of love,
more than a million roses bloom
Embracing you with this
must be the one you love
Must be the one
whose magic touch
can change your mind
Don't let another day go by
without the magic touch

Embracing you
(change your mind)
Concealing you
(change your mind)
Protecting you
(change your mind)
Revealing you
(change your mind)
Change your mind, change your mind
(change your mind)
Change your mind
(change your mind)
Change your mind, change your mind
(change your mind)

Change your mind, change your mind

"Changes"

"Changes"



Sit by my side, come as close as the air
And share in a memory of gray
And wander in my words
Dream about the pictures that I play of changes

Green leaves of summer turn red in the fall
To brown and to yellow, they fade
And then they have to die
Trapped within the circle time parade of changes

Scenes of my young years were warm in my mind
Visions of shadows that shine
One day I returned and found they were
The victims of the vines of changes

The world's spinning madly, it drifts in the dark
It Swings through a hollow of haze
A race around the stars
A journey through the universe ablaze with changes

Moments of magic will glow in the night
All fears of the forest are gone
But when the morning breaks
They're swept away by golden drops of dawn of changes

Passions will part to a strange melody
As fires will sometimes burn cold
Like petals in the wind
We're puppets to the silver strings of souls of changes

Your tears will be trembling, now we're somewhere else
One last cup of wine we will pour
And I'll kiss you one more time
And leave you on the rolling river shore of changes

"Changin' Highways"

"Changin' Highways"



We're changing highways
In heavy traffic
See the lights turn
To something graphic
With my suitcase and my brew
I come in your room

Hello hello
Is that you stranger
Is this our music
Up in you manger?
And is this your exit too?
We're changing highways

"Cinnamon Girl"

"Cinnamon Girl"



I wanna live
with a cinnamon girl
I could be happy
the rest of my life
With a cinnamon girl.

A dreamer of pictures
I run in the night
You see us together,
chasing the moonlight,
My cinnamon girl.

Ten silver saxes,
a bass with a bow
The drummer relaxes
and waits between shows
For his cinnamon girl.

A dreamer of pictures
I run in the night
You see us together,
chasing the moonlight,
My cinnamon girl.

Pa sent me money now
I'm gonna make it somehow
I need another chance
You see your baby loves to dance
Yeah...yeah...yeah.

"Citizen Kane Jr. Blues"



Good lookin' Milly's got
a gun in her hand
But she don't know how to use it.
Sooner or later she'll
have to take a stand
And she ain't about to lose it.
All the towns people gather around
They've come to see
what's going down
Although no one hears a sound
There's another poor man
falling down.
Falling down, falling down.
Falling down, falling down.

On this noisy shore
Standing at the edge of you.
Could those dreams of yours be true
Or did you, did you, did you
Pushed it over the end?
How much time did you spend?
Pushed it over the end.

Good lookin' Milly's
into politics now
And things are looking much better
She keeps ten men in her garage
Knitting her fine sweaters.
At the end of a weary day
She feels hard and she looks hard.
Although no one hears a sound
There's another poor man
falling down.
Falling down, falling down.
Falling down, falling down.

I came back for more
And found you waiting at the door
And far inside your walls
I called
Did you, did you, did you
Pushed it over the end?
How much time did you spend?
Pushed it over the end.

How much love did you spend?
Pushed it over the end.

"Clementine"

"Clementine"


In a cavern, in a canyon,
Excavating for a mine
Dwelt a miner forty niner,
And his daughter Clementine

Light she was and like a fairy,
And her shoes were number nine,
Herring boxes, without topses,
Sandals were for Clementine.

[Chorus:]
Clementine! Clementine!
Oh my darling, Clementine!

Drove she ducklings to the water
Ev'ry morning just at nine,
Hit her foot against a splinter,
Fell into the foaming brine.

Ruby lips above the water,
Blowing bubbles, soft and fine,
But, alas, I was no swimmer,
So I lost my Clementine.

[Chorus]

Then the miner forty niner
Soon began to peak and pine.
Thought he ought'er join his daughter,
Now he's with his Clementine.

In my dreams she still does haunt me,
Robed in garments soaked in brine.
Though in life I used to hug her,
In death I draw the line.

[Chorus]

How I missed her! How I missed her,
How I missed my Clementine,
So I kissed her little sister,
I forgot my Clementine.

[Chorus]

"Coastline"



Down on the coastline, Highway One
People headin' out for the sun
That's where I found you,
long time ago.

You're my angel, you're my queen
You're my best friends in between
We don't back down from no trouble
We do get up in the mornin'.

Oooweee, baby, what a night
That old moon sure is shinin' bright
We'll be dancin'
'til the mornin' comes.

High on the mountain top
above the clouds
No wonder we get a little loud
We don't back down from no trouble
We do get up in the mornin'.

"Cocaine Eyes"



Ain't a day goes by,
I don't burn a little bit of my soul
Ain't a day goes by,
I don't burn a little bit of my soul
Scored some friends along the way
Did what I did, said what I had to say
And I'd do it all again if I had to today
When all is said and done
I'm the one.

It's a long hard road
when your friends start
to leave you behind
It's a long hard road
when you try to find peace of mind
Some might go for poison
And some go for too much stuff
Some just go to sleep at night
And forget to wake up.

Cocaine eyes
Can't hide your face
It's no surprise
You lose the race
Again.

Ain't a day goes by,
I don't burn a little bit of my soul
Ain't a day goes by,
I don't burn a little bit of my soul
Scored some friends along the way
Did what I did, said what I had to say
And I'd do it all again if I had to today
'Cause when all is said and done
I'm the one.

I'm the one, yeah.

Cocaine eyes
It won't hide your face
It's no surprise
You lost the race
Once again
My old friend.

"Color By Numbers"

"Color By Numbers"



Someone wants to blow up the planet
Johnny wants to find out why
Johnny did a show in St. Louis
Love came through the sky.

Oh yeah, they were camped out,
Waiting for the sun to rise
Oh yeah, Johnny sang out
Love into the sky.

Johnny found a place out in Texas
Waiting for him to come
Made himself a reservation
And hope came, in the gun.

Oh yeah, he was flying,
Waiting for the sun to rise
Oh yeah, color by numbers
Waiting for the sun to rise.

Johnny did some time in the army
Johnny did a stint in Vietnam.
Now he can't forget it,
His mind is confused,
slipping from his twisted hand.

Oh yeah, he's still back there
With one hand on the gun
Oh yeah, he's still back there
Waiting for the rising sun.

Now Johnny
likes to go down the highway
The wind singing in his ears
Right up as
most things go whirring by
By day everything looks clear.

Oh yeah, Johnny ride on
Gonna find a special home
Oh yeah, down the highway
Looking for the rising sun.
