"(If You Think You're) Groovy"

"(If You Think You're) Groovy"


Now I can tell you how I feel, a broken heart is this for real
There's still so much for me to do, and to know, and to be and to feel

[Chorus:]
If you think you're groovy, you don't even move me
There's no denying, if you dare to be true
In my dreams I dreamt for two, my dreams were real but where were you
And now my dreams have all been changed, rearranged
There's room for two, but not for you, not for you

[Chorus]

Oh you made me feel so real, baby how I used to feel
Now I know what it's all about
Honey I found out (I found out) I found out (I found out)
I found out and I wanted to tell you

[Chorus repeats out...]

"1000 Years"

"1000 Years"



If only we talked it out a little more
You might never have gone away
If only I tried
Instead of making for the door
You'd be loving me still today
And if I'd only been a little wiser

You knew I knew the lies you told
But you thought I didn't care
And if I'd only shown my love
In so many different ways
If only you'd stayed

And in 1000 years
I'll still be thinking of you
Though in 1000 years
My love will have gone
But in a 1000 years
We'll probably be together
But right now you're gone

If only I had you back again right now
Wouldn't ask for a thing, I know
Except to say I'm sorry, and how
And the wisdom to let it show
And if I'd only looked a little deeper
Each time I saw you weeping
And how I wished I held you close

Cause If I only shown my love
In so many different ways
Baby you'd want to stay

And in 1000 years
I'll still be thinking of you
Though in 1000 years
My love will have gone
But in a 1000 years
We'll probably be together
But right now you're gone

And in 1000 years

(I'll still be thinking of you)
1000 years
(My love will be long gone)
1000 years
(We'll probably be together forever)
1000 years
(I'll still be thinking of you)
1000 years
(whaaa whooo)

"3 Warning Shots"

"3 Warning Shots"



Dear disillusioned boy,
Who taught you to destroy
Everything that's beautiful
Everything that shines
You're the monster underneath your bed and I'll

I'll give you 1 warning shot, I'll give you 2 warning shots,
I'll give you 3 warning shots to the head

I know you
I give Lucifer his due
He promised you you'd be legit
But everybody thinks you're shit
I hope every dream you dream, you dream in red and I'll

I'll give you 1 warning shot, I'll give you 2 warning shots,
I'll give you 3 warning shots to the head

Yeah you caught Johnny-on-the-spot
But no one gives you a second thought and I'll
I'll give you 3 warning shots to the head

Standing on a New York sidewalk with a loaded gun

Mommies depressed little joy
Holden Caulfield's stable-boy
Hey come on wake up you sleepy head, and I'll give you

I'll give you 1 warning shot, I'll give you 2 warning shots,
I'll give you 3 warning shots to the head

You got empty brain and crazy thoughts
'The voices' had you tied in knots and I'll
I'll give you 3 warning shots to the head

"A Sign Of Life"

"A Sign Of Life"



A footprint in an alien nation
One step for all mankind
You can’t wait for that invitation
To probe around my little mind
Looking for a face in a galaxy of space
If you’re really, really there we kind of need you down here

Oh why don’t you come and show yourself to me?
In all this universe I know you’re not that green
Are you out there can you sympathize with all us human beings?
And show me a sign of life
Gimme a sign of life
Just one sign of life that’s what I need

Beam down through the radiation
A cold earth is what you’ll find
That this world is your destination
A close encounter with another kind
Head to home base on a rocket ship of faith
If you're really really near we kind of need you right here

Oh why don’t you come and show yourself to me?
In all this universe I know you’re not that green
Are you out there can you sympathize with all us human beings?
And show me a sign of life
Gimme a sign of life
Just one sign of life that’s what I need

Are you real or make believe why won’t you let me see?

Oh why don’t you come and live your life with me?
In all this universe I know you’re not that green
Are you out there can you sympathize with all us human beings?
And show me a sign of life (come show me!)
Sign of life (come show me!)
Sign of life (come show me!)
Sign of life (come show me!)

"Act Of Faith"

"Act Of Faith"



I tell you honestly, don't you go and throw your heart away
I know it's so hard to do,
you've got to let go when you want to hold on.
I know how much you miss him celebrate what you had.
don't cry about the things left unsaid, it'll do no good.
you look for mercy and a meaning somewhere,
but you know that the hurting won't go
till you walk through the fire.

It's gonna take an act of faith to stand up and face the day.
It's gonna take an act of faith, nobody can make you stay
It's gonna take an act of faith
maybe love will find it's way back into your life.
Here's my heart my love is in it
Here's my heart my love is in it

Stand up, don't you fall.
You just take good care of where you are.
You're thinking life's through with you.
that's not what he'd want or what you should do.
I know you loved him baby celebrate who he was.
I know you know you've got to go on and live your life.
Go down to the river of the spirit that runs through you,
and lay yourself down in the healing waters.

It's gonna take an act of faith to stand up and face the day.
It's gonna take an act of faith, nobody can make you stay
It's gonna take an act of faith
maybe love will find it's way back into your life.

Love is a healer.
There is no purpose served in holding on.
Love is a healer.
There is no understanding why.
Love is a healer.
There is no sin in you that brought this to your door.
My love, it just is.

"Affair Of The Heart"

"Affair Of The Heart"



Heart in my mouth
Pulse in my head
Mercury rising into the red
The smell of your skin can
Light up all the fires in me

Hungry to touch
I'm eager to please
Out of control
And I hand you the keys
Every night I am burning
To make love to you

But don't try to tell me
you think it's all physical
It goes much deeper than that

You ought to know
It's an affair of the heart
It's an affair of the heart
It's an affair of the heart
Have a little blind faith, believe
It's an affair of the heart

When we make love
It's a passionate thing
You shudder and shake
Sink your teeth in my skin
I almost believe you were made
To be played by my hands

And you got the power
It amazes me still
How you play my emotions
With consummate skill
I don't have to look any further
Than into your eyes

So don't try to tell me
You think it's just physical
It goes way deeper than that

You better know
It's an affair of the heart
It's an affair of the heart
It's an affair of the heart
Have a little blind faith, believe
It's an affair of the heart

I'm the controller
And I want to touch you and seize you
And make you mine, hey, hey

Don't try to tell me
You think it's all physical
It goes much deeper than that
You ought to know
It's an affair of the heart
It's affair of the heart

You better know
It's an affair of the heart
It's an affair of the heart

You better know
it's an affair of the heart
Have a little blind faith, believe
It's an affair of the heart

"Alien Virus"

"Alien Virus"



Baby where were you? I waited for hours
Up in the sky was a strange light
You know comets are falling and UFO's are calling
Where were you last night?
You used to be beautiful, baby alright
I don't even recognize you anymore

I think maybe some alien virus infected your heart

I'm not waving I'm drowning baby
Who's that one I see you with?
You've been out walking and monkeys are talking to a black monolith
I don't want to be in this skin, baby not tonite
I want to be in the one he's in (the one you want)

I think maybe some alien virus infected your heart

You used to be all mine, baby all night
I don't even recognize you anymore

I think maybe some alien virus infected your heart
I think maybe some alien virus infected your heart

"Alyson"

"Alyson"



Talk about life, imitating art
Well I was sure that I heard the Director yell,
"Take it from the start"
And I could feel my body crushing yours
Camera dollied into place
Your husband's in the front row, I couldn't look him in the face

Part of the pleasure was that it felt so wrong
But it grew too fast, too strong

Don't you think your friends are talking Alyson?
They're blaming it all on me
I'm blaming it all on love
Well don't you think your friends are talking Alyson?
Just a little sexual tension
Under the guise of love

Young and tragic, I really felt the part
While we were sweating and screaming tearin' out his heart
Well I was sure I heard the wind and the wires
Crying in sympathy
For star-crossed lovers, Ally that ain't you or me

Part of the pleasure was that it felt so wrong
But it grew too fast, too strong

Don't you think your friends are talking Alyson?
They're blaming it all on me
I'm blaming it all on love
Well don't you think your friends are talking Alyson?
Just a little sexual tension
Under the guise of love

For a limited run in to your local bedroom
We knew the curtain would be coming down soon
Reviews were mixed, the press was unkind
Ally I hope they will forgive us in time, in time

Part of the attraction was that we knew it couldn't last
So we closed our eyes and held on

Don't you thing your friends are talking Alyson?
Who were we trying to fool?
What was I thinking of?

Don't you think your friends are talking Alyson?
They're blaming it all on me
I'm blaming it all on love
Well don't you think your friends are talking Alyson?
Just a little sexual tension
Under the guise of love

"Angels Of The Disappeared"

"Angels Of The Disappeared"



I send it out, a prayer tonite
To all the angels of the disappeared
May they sleep in your arms tonite
And may they know they're not forgotten here
And the angels of the disappeared
Are on a city corner or a downtown subway train
And the world is watching and waiting to say

Welcome home to you
Welcome home to you

The highways run, the cities glare
Looking for God's fingerprints somewhere
And every night the alarm is set
So you can remember what you can't forget
And the angels of the disappeared
Watch a southern highway and a midwestern trailer park
And a town is watching and waiting to say

Welcome home to you
Welcome home to you
God knows dreams come true
Welcome home to you

We take the precious thing and we break it apart
there's no such thing as an unchangeable heart

And the angels of the disappeared
are walking hand in hand with the vanished ones tonite
And a heart is watching and waiting to say

Welcome home to you
Welcome home to you
God knows dreams come true
Welcome home to you

And the angels of the disappeared
Oh they're busy tonite

"April 24, 1981"

"April 24, 1981"



I know all your life you wondered
About that step we all take alone
How far does the spirit travel on the journey
You must surely be near heaven
And it thrills me to the bone
To know Daddy knows the great unknown...
