"Climb Above The Rooftops"

"Climb Above The Rooftops"


When surrounded by confusion
And the future seems unclear
When the road has not been chosen
By yourself or someone near

[Chorus:]
I climb above the rooftops
Where the air is fresh and sweet
I climb above the rooftops
And leave the world
And leave the world beneath my feet

I wipe away the traces
Of the city from my skin
There are no tired old faces
Out where the dreams begin

[Chorus]

"Confessin' Midnight"

"Confessin' Midnight"


Midnight and the jailer's watching
Thin dime can buy a soul
Midnight come and get me
In time you will start to know

Justified in satisfying
Your every sweet desire
Justified in satisfying
your every sweet desire

Midnight black cat creeping
Headlights straight up ahead
While I watch the shadows
Sleep tight my sleepy-head

Justified in satisfying
Your every sweet desire
Justified in satisfying
your every sweet desire

Midnight steam is rising
Got no self-control
Midnight beast is raging
In time you will start to know

You're justified in satisfying
Your every sweet desire
But don't you ever wonder
if there could be something higher?

Higher...

"Crossroads"

"Crossroads"


I went down to the crossroads
Fell down on my knees
I went down to the crossroads
Fell down on my knees
Asked the lord to please have mercy
Save me if you please

Standing at the crossroads
I tried to flag a ride
Standing at the crossroads
I tried to flag a ride
Didn’t nobody seem to know me
Everybody passed me by

Sun goin down, dark don’t find me here
Sun goin down, dark don’t find me here
Ain’t got no sweet lovin’ woman
No one to feel my cares

"Day Of The Eagle"

"Day Of The Eagle"


I saw a light, just up ahead
But I couldn't seem to rise up from my bed
I'm not alone, and then I am
'Cause people seem to think I'm superman
But I watch for the love
I'm living in the day of the eagle
Eagle, not the dove

It's like a weight that brings me down
If I don't move, I'm on the ground
It's in my mind, it's in my soul
It's telling me the things I can't be told
It's a watch for the love
Living in the day of the eagle
Eagle, not the dove

Another day, another night
I want to love, they want to fight
I need the time, I got to be alone
I got to meet a lover on my own
But I watch for the love
Living in the day of the eagle
Eagle, not the dove

"Daydream"

"Daydream"


We were laughing in a daydream
With the world beneath our feet

and the sun shined on the water
Where the skies and the ocean meet

We were spellbound
ohhhh spellbound

we were listning down a rainbow
as the leaves fell to the ground

whipering as we tumbled
And the wind laft at the sound

We were spellbound
ohhh spellbound

we were spellbound
ohhh spellbound

We were children in the garden
where the flowers kiss the sky

And the birds sang out and wonder
as the day went sailing by

we were spellbound
mmmmm spellbound
ohhh spellbound
mmm spellbound
ohhhh

"Ev'ry Body's Watching You Now"

"Ev'ry Body's Watching You Now"


There’s a blood red vision
In the sunset sky
A time for big decision
A time to testify, oh yeah!

When you’re tired of losing
When the well runs dry
When it comes to choosing
Tell me why why why

[Chorus:]
No time for running, hiding
No backsliding
You can’t take something for nothing, oh no
Ev’ry body’s watching you now

When the light is falling
On the twisted tree
When the voodoo’s calling
You’ll remember me

[Chorus]

Yeah, yeah – they’re watching you
Yeah, yeah - ev’ry body’s watching
Ev’ry body’s watching you now

[Chorus]

"Extermination Blues"

"Extermination Blues"


We stood and watched the storm clouds gather
Watched as mountains turned to sand
We let them steal the future
Did not raise a hand
Not quick enough to anger
Far too slow to understand

We chose to walk away in silence
Was that fear or apathy
The noose began to tighten
Found it hard to breathe
Not quick enough to anger
Extermination guaranteed

"Falling Star"

"Falling Star"


Falling star.
Falling free.
Where you are is were I want to be.
Falling star, Yeah falling free don't fall on me baby.

Wishing star how I wish you could.
Wish me luck, I sure wish you would yeah.
Falling star, Yeah falling free don't fall on me baby.
Don't fall on me.

Falling star don't you.
Falling star don't you.
Falling star don't you no.

Falling star don't you.
Falling star don't you.
Falling star don't you now don't you.
Don't you.
Falling star don't you.
Falling star don't you.
Falling star don't you.

"Feel So Bad"

"Feel So Bad"


Feels so bad, just like a ballgame on a rainy day
Feels so bad, just like a ballgame on a rainy day
Since I lost my baby
I shake my head and walk away

Sometimes I wanna leave here, then again I wanna stay
Sometimes I wanna leave here, then again I wanna stay
I just can’t make my mind up
Shake my head and walk away

I’m trying to tell you people, tell you exactly how I feel
I’m trying to tell you people, tell you exactly how I feel
I just can’t keep from cryin
My baby gave me a dirty deal

"Find Me"

"Find Me"


You won't find me
In the drifting sky
Ohh, oh, oh
The drifting sky

Take your place
In the line to the doorway
It's your place
In the line through the door

You can find me
On the other side
Find me
Other side

You can find me
In the shifting sands
Ohh, oh, oh
The shifting sands

In the heart
Of all this confusion
There may be one
Who touched your life before

You can find me
On the other side
Find me
On the other side

You won't find me
On the battleground
Ohh, oh, oh
The battleground

Just one hour
Is sometimes like a lifetime
Stuck to the past
But there will come a day

When you can find me
On the other side
Find me
Other side
