"A Dream Goes On Forever"
"A Dream Goes On Forever"
A million old soldiers will fade away
But a dream goes on forever
I'm left standing here, Ive got nothing to say
All is silent within my dream
A thousand true loves will live and die
But a dream goes on forever
The days and the years all go streaking by
But the time is stopped within my dream
We all have our everyday hopes and fears
And you'll find no exception in me
But that doesn't get me through a sea of tears
Over life's biggest tragedy
You're so long ago and so far away
But a dream goes on forever
I guess I believe that I'll see you one day
For without it there is no dream
You're so far away and so long ago
But my dream lives on forever
How much I love you you'll never know
'Till you join me within my dream
How much I love you you'll never know
'Till you join me within my dream

"A Long Time, A Long Way To Go"
"A Long Time, A Long Way To Go"
It's a long time and a long way to go
What was once mine isn't mine anymore
All my fears you would not find me
All behind me
It's a long way and a long time to come
When our hearts stray and the troubles begun
I'll forget it if you make me
Please just take me if you will
I know that if you will
Nothing you can say could block my way
Nothing you can do to make me not want you
And love you for a long time
It's a long time and a long way to go
But in my mind there is one thing I know
For as long as we're together
Love forever

When our hearts stray and the troubles begun
I'll forget it if you make me

"Afraid"
"Afraid"
It must feel pure to be so sure
About every little thing
But there's no cure for that angst of yours
That tugs at you like a string
Because you're afraid, afraid to know
To know the answer
'Cause you're afraid that it will burn
You're afraid to learn
A nervous tic, you're being tricked
By somebody else's god
A little bit sick and a whole lot addicted
There's another crack in the facade
Because you're afraid, afraid to see
To see the reason
'Cause you're afraid the tide has turned
And you're afraid to learn
Because you're afraid, afraid to hear
To hear the accusations
'Cause you're afraid of what you've earned
You're afraid to learn
Why suffer for nothing?
Suffer for something

"Afterlife"
"Afterlife"
They say I don't think enough
About the afterlife
Of what's below and above
It's all in black and white
They say there's only one kind of love
You have to choose just right
They say there's only one kind of love
In the afterlife
Kiss it all goodbye
In the afterlife
You don't get another try
But I can't see, I don't know how
That I won't be what I am now, no
Even in my afterlife
And I won't have some other heart
That could find peace
Though we're apart, no
Even in my afterlife
It's not enough anymore
To be good in this life
They say you've got to be sure
So you can sleep at night
The only love that endures
Gives up without a fight
The only love that endures
In the afterlife
Kiss it all goodbye
In the afterlife
It was just a clever lie
If I could never see your face
Then I would have to fall
From grace, I know
Even in my afterlife
Or for eternity be blind
To your presence in my mind, no
Even in my afterlife
And they could promise me a seat
At the right side of the throne
But all would still be incomplete
Within the holy host, alone
Without the guiding light so sweet
That has forever led me on
For me there's no eternal rest
You and I have unfinished business
Yes, yes
Even in my afterlife
If I could still hold one thought clear
Then you will instantly appear, I know
Even in my afterlife
But I can't see, I don't know how
That I won't be what I am now, no
Even in my afterlife
And I won't have some other heart
That could find peace
Though we're apart, no
Even in my afterlife
For I could not repose in bliss
Nevermore to know your kiss
No, no

"All The Children Sing"
"All The Children Sing"
See Ms. Malone
She spends another quiet evening alone
Sits in her study and stares at the phone
And a bell in her head will ring
All the children sing
All the dancers start to sway in time
The orchestra begins to play
Somebody pours the wine
The sun and moon collide
Isn't gravity a funny thing
The universe explodes apart
All the children sing
Of Mr. Malloy
He's always seen himself as one of the boys
He thinks that men are tough and women are toys
But a bell in his head will ring
All the children sing
All the birds are chirping harmony
The scent of love is in the air
Sunset on the sea
The angel of the lord
Just declared we aren't worth a thing
The galaxy is null and void
All the children sing
Crawled across a thousand miles of desert sand
Looking from an answer from a holy man
And this is what he told me with a wave of his hand
He said, "A bell in your head will ring"
Here's to the Chinaman, wise and old
Here's to the Eskimo, brave and cold
Here's to the Jew in the holy land
Here's to the Arab in his caravan
Here's to the African, strong and proud
Here's to the redneck, good and loud
Here's one to you and there's one more thing
A bell in your head will ring

"An Elpee's Worth Of Toons"
"An Elpee's Worth Of Toons"
Who's that on the racks again?
A portrait of a crazy man
Trying to make a living off an elpee's worth of toons
A picture of a soul in pain
Trying to change the world with an elpee's worth of toons
There's something at the heart of it that's simply awful
A man who makes a living off a plastic waffle
Sweat is forming on my brow
Not a thing can help me now
My life is on the line for an elpee's worth of toons
I can see the write-ups now
The multitudes are crying for an elpee's worth of toons
A man would simply have to be as mad as a hatter
To try to change the world with a plastic platter
A man would simply have to be as mad as a hatter
To try to change the world with a plastic platter
Trying to change the world with an elpee's worth of toons
What's your problem, sonny?
What's your problem, son?
What's your problem, sonny?
What's your problem, son?
Help me... Help me... Help me...
I want to change the world...

"Attitude"
"Attitude"
Kid's kind of dirty and a light on you
But talk, talk, talk is all you can do
You want to know how to play a game of show and tell
But you're just not getting off on yourself
When you got to get a message through
It's not what you do
It's your attitude
And there is nothing stopping you
It's not what you do
It's your attitude
You got to get off on yourself
And give them that attitude
You got shrink wrap rap and a prefab smile
Too much substance, not enough style
You got your new age voodoo, but that won't help
'cause you're just not getting off on yourself
When you got to get a message through
It's not what you do
It's your attitude
And there is nothing stopping you
It's not what you do
It's your attitude
So you got to get off on yourself
And give it the attitude
Now that you're ok and I'm ok
Decide to have it out or to get away
If I didn't believe every word I say
I wouldn't be the man that I am today
It ain't no secret, it don't take money
So give it to yourself, in a way it's funny
Just try to do right, and it comes right through
Don't care about the don'ts and do's
If you want to get a message through
It's not what you do
It's your attitude
And there is nothing stopping you
It's not what you do
It's your attitude
You got to get off on yourself, stay up on yourself
Get yourself an attitude
It's the way you walk and the way you talk
And the way you do everything you do
You got the attitude

"Baby Let's Swing"
"Baby Let's Swing"
Laura, I saw you open in LA
There's something I gotta say
Laura, you know it's really been such a long, long time
And you know Laura, I knew you'd make it good someday
And you knew it anyway
Laura, I know that maybe this is the wrong, wrong time
But Laura where did that magic go
It's so hard, it's so cold down here
Did you have to leave me behind?
I wish that I could make it
But how I love to shuffle (how I love to shuffle)
Baby let's swing
Now I love to shuffle
Ever since I heard you sing (since I heard her sing)
Laura, I saw you in that magazine
You looked like a gypsy queen
Laura, I beat around the bush 'cause it's oh so hard
But you know Laura, it's not the best it's ever been
I think you know what I mean
I wish you'd take a look in your own back yard
To see that someone has seen it all
Seen you climb, seen you fall so low
If you have to leave it behind
I'll carry it on for ya, 'cause it's oh so hard
Baby let's swing
Now I love to shuffle
Ever since I heard you sing

"Bag Lady"
"Bag Lady"
Like a fly batters itself against a window
Time and again and again it senselessly blunders
Up and down the length of West Broadway
The bag lady wanders
Fifty cents rent goes pretty far
When you live in a subway car
One stop's the same as another
Even son of Sam sees her sleeping,
She's not worth the bother
Sorrow, do they ever want to cry
Do they see us pass by
Where do they come from (simple answers)
Do they come falling,
Falling from the sky like rain
Crawling up the basement drain
Misfits and black sheep
Former brothers, friends of mothers
There is no yesterday, there is no tomorrow
There is only now and that hardly matters
No one cares about sad old ladies
With bags full of tatters
One day it gets a bit too cold
Maybe a little too wet, maybe a little too lonely
Lifelessly she lies amidst her bag world
But maybe she's only sleeping
