Moonshine
Yellow flowers
Bought today
I bought 'em from the man who lives in the other way
Wilting flowers
Couldn't stay
Not enough water gotta fill 'em to the brink today
Another moonshine
Oh, moonshine
Moonlight halo gonna tell about a coming rain
Another moonshine
Oh, moonshine
Moonlight halo gonna tell about a coming ...
I don't believe it can be verified
I don't believe it can be put right
It's too confused in all of its facets
It's too complex in all of its ways
They just continuing to tell me their trouble
They just continuing to tell me their lies
They don't believe in helping their brother
They're standing still and hearing his cries
If you believe that you got the power
If you believe it deep in your heart
You're on the run in front of a gunner
You're on the run and no one said start
I said moonshine
Oh, moonshine
Moonlight halo gonna tell about a coming rain
Another moonshine
Oh, moonshine
Moonlight halo gonna tell about a coming ...
Red moon rising, dogs are howling
Throwing stones at Willy on the other side
Octogenarians intermarrying
What you gonna do when the light goes out?
Madly scrambling in the brambling
Up the mountain like a frightened trout
Killing relieves the hunting imperative
Maiming relieves the sadist's delight
They don't believe in what they are doing
I do believe that they are uptight
Safe and secure in maudlin commodities
Smug and pedantic into their lives
Stupidity can never make answers
Pathos is there in all of its might
I said moonshine
Oh, moonshine
Moonlight halo gonna tell about a coming rain
Another moonshine
Oh, moonshine
Moonlight halo gonna tell about a coming rain
Talk about after, there's gonna be laughter
Talk about after, yeah, there's gonna be laughter
Talk about after, heh, there's gonna be laughter someday
Talk about after, there's gonna be laughter someday
Another sunshine
Oh, sunshine
Sunshine comin' gonna be another brand new day, yeh
Sunshine comin' gonna be another brand new day, ah
Sunshine comin' gonna be another brand new day
Sunshine comin' gonna be another brand new ...
Lost And Lonely
In the night for the lost and lonely
They will find that loves the only way for the light
To shine so bright for them
They will find it comes along
And it's always strong
You don't have to look, or read a book
It comes to you when you are through,
with the fight
It never fails to amaze me so
How the courage comes when the hard times grow
We find a way to always say, we'll make it now
We keep on truckin'
Now you find, it was in your mind,
The doubt you feel 'bout what is real
You know at once, you have to trust yourself
Now the love's in a hard cocoon
Blows away with the wind, and it bursts in bloom
The open heart, will do it's part, untold
It senses others,
long or brief, it's like a thief
It steals the soul, and makes it whole
And leaves in it's place, a filled up space
In the night.
In the night for the lost and lonely
They will find that loves the only way for the light
To shine so bright for them
They will find it comes along
And it's always strong
You don't have to look, or read a book
It comes to you when you are through,
with the fight
Fondest Dreams
At night she comes into my arms and sheds the world of all it's
harm, I know
now she was always meant to stay.
But callous is the world at large, I need to yet encourage
her, I sense her insecurities at play.
and mischievous as she may be, I love it when her mind is
free, she puts us in our place and there we stay.
In all our glory and our shame she doesn't feel the need
for fame, she just wants to express it in her way.
And listening to her fondest dreams, I know that life's not
what it seems, the shadows of my darkness made to flee.
And by and by the time will pass, we look through this
lucid glass, we hold before our eyes that we may see,
and love denies the still despair, that beckons throughout
all affairs, it only strengthens us when we're in need.
Of tenderness and music fair, reminding us that we must
care, and life moves on with no control of speed.
And listening to her fondest dreams, I know that life's not
what it seems, the shadows of my darkness made to flee.
And joy is what she subtly brings, we know that life is full
of things, she points them out and makes me see so clear.
The garden of our love is frail, we must work hard that it
not fail, a great deal of the strength is in our fears.
But they're like clouds that fade away, then shape
themselves another day, and sometimes rain disguised as
tears, that fall into our heart's desire, to live and
love we must aspire, for life
becomes what we make it appear.
Money Dance
Kicking and clawing in this world of money
You're already in the middle of world war three
Backstabbing charlatans standing on a hallowed ground
Trying to tell you that you are free
When the banker tells you that it's gonna be alright
You know that he is talking 'bout his own security
With six billion people all trying to be the number one
I think that you can see where that will easily lead
But if you gonna fly with the wings of an eagle
Then you have to be an eagle at heart
Soaring through the circus of your own emotions
And striking out into the dark
'Cause it's a money dance, funny dance,
Spinnin' on a wheel of chance,
Money dance, funny dance,
Spinnin' on a wheel of chance,
Money dance, funny dance,
Spinnin' on a wheel of chance,
Money dance, funny dance,
Spinnin' on a wheel of chance,
Money isn't everything
It'll never buy you peace of mind
It'll never buy you courage or pride
It'll never buy you the things that you want the most
The things you love that you feel inside
And you can be sure you will find out who your friends are
When you are broke they will not run and hide
They will always be there when you need them
When the world gets tough and the times get tried
But if you gonna fly with the wings of an eagle
Then you have to be an eagle at heart
Soaring through the circus of your own emotions
And striking out into the dark
'Cause it's a money dance, funny dance,
Spinnin' on a wheel of chance,
Money dance, funny dance,
Spinnin' on a wheel of chance,
Money dance, funny dance,
Spinnin' on a wheel of chance,
Money dance, funny dance,
Spinnin' on a wheel of chance,
Yet the sun keeps shinin' in the brilliant skies
Even though they may be tinged with grey
There ain't no reason to keep on freakin' out
There ain't no reason throwin' life away
So many people in a world of trouble
How can this be in a world so bright?
With life all around you teeming in the distance
As far away as the farthest night
'Cause it's a money dance, funny dance,
Spinnin' on a wheel of chance,
Money dance, funny dance,
Spinnin' on a wheel of chance,
Oh, money dance, funny dance,
Spinnin' on a wheel of chance,
Money dance, funny dance,
Spinnin' on a wheel of chance.
Money dance, funny dance,
Spinnin' on a wheel of chance.
Money dance, funny dance,
Spinnin' on a wheel of chance.
Oh, money dance, funny dance,
Spinnin' on a wheel of chance,
Money dance, funny dance,
Spinnin' on a wheel of chance.
Money dance, funny dance,
Spinnin' on a wheel of chance.
Money dance, funny dance,
Spinnin' on a wheel of chance.
Oh, money dance, funny dance,
Spinnin' on a wheel of chance,
Money dance, funny dance,
Spinnin' on a wheel of chance.
Money dance, money dance,
Money dance, money dance,
Money dance, money dance,
Money dance, money dance,
Money dance
I Will Never Leave (circa 1985)
She walks kinda funny and she likes to have money
And she smiles like the sun at times
She's a paradox born in a woman's form
That makes you want to lose your mind
So I want to tell you how I really love you
I will put your heart at ease
And you can be assured that I will never leave
And you can be assured that I will never leave
Now we're in the winter of the months ahead
And we are dreaming of the years to come
Of the summers and the fall and the cycles of it all
That's not readily apparent to some Falling heir to the
throne of a love that's rare
Will put your heart at ease
And you can be assured that I will never leave
And you can be assured that I will never leave
As we're growing through I know I'll never know
Everything there is to know about you.
The quickness of the wit and the solitary fit
Shatter the myths I would build around you
All around you
So I want to tell you how I really love you
I will put your heart at ease
And you can be assured that I will never leave
And you can be assured that I will never leave
For your peace of mind I'd suggest a little wine
And a window where the stars reside.
When your dreams are fulfilled I'll be there loving still
And I'll catch you on the other side.
And we'll disperse on a tour of the universe
That will keep your heart at ease
And you can be assured that I will never leave
And you can be assured that I will never leave
Calico and Rainbows
Calico and Rainbows, silhouettes that are edged with light
Malibu and freethrows, sitting there in the noisy night
Governments and tax woes, immigrants have their plight
Juliette's in limbo, I can only hope they do what's right......for
us
But you could see what I have seen
you'd know we're living in a dream
but whether it's a nightmare is up to you
Agony and pleasure, insinuate themselves in ways
Difficult to measure, what you look for in your days Looking for
your treasure, are you living in this haze Living at your leisure,
have you found out what it pays
But you could see what I have seen
you'd know we're living in a dream
but whether it's a nightmare is up to you
Holograms and dreamscapes, scherazade before your eye,
Millipedes and cupcakes, both are me with grateful sigh
Naughty bit and snowflakes just a moment on the fly
Celebrate for your sakes, everyone goes to the sky
But you could see what I have seen
you'd know we're living in a dream
but whether it's a nightmare is up to you
But you could see what I have seen
you'd know we're living in a dream
but whether it's a nightmare is up to you
The Man
In the castoff world of homelessness he wanders through the day
He watches as an ambulance goes rushing on its way
He wonders who it's going to and hope they'll be alright
He spends them thoughts of prayer and love as the
Day turns into night
And when you look into his face you know his life is right
You see a man who cannot hide and blessed with inner sight
He walks through inner cities and he helps someone to stand
He makes them feel a part of us, a soul in the race of Man
Surrounded by the selfishness of a world that's full of greed
He does not think about himself, he helps those who are most in need
He gathers in the strength to care, this ain't no paradise
He sees the future in his mind and he knows that this ain't right
And I know there are more of him and women equally
Working in the world of pain so the rest of us can be
They are the angels of this world, they show us to the light
Back to the man who knows these things he will not speak or tell
You have to understand him now he will not say why he fell
And some folks think it is falling and some think it is a ploy
But he doesn't give a damn what we think he
Knows that it is joy
And thunder rocks the heavens and lightening splits the skies
And the rain pours down upon his head and sometimes
He quietly cries
But only when he is all alone and loneliness his pain
We share the battles all of us and we don' t need to be ashamed
Now we're at 2000 and some are going to flip right out
And some will learn the secrets of this man and of his route
And hopefully as time permits a few of us just might
Learn to live our lives in joy and go on through the night
And nothing's going to change and life goes on as just before
You do not need to worry but you still go tot lock your door
And by and by the time will come when we will sleep at night
And love the world before us as we're living in the light
Power Of A Woman
The power of a woman is the power of love
They do anything that they're thinking of
She knows that she is always on your mind!
Where is she now? What is she doing?
What does she think she's always proving?
She knows that she is always on your mind?
She dresses to the limit, she dresses to the nines
Even in the most inappropriate times
She knows that she is always on your mind!
But when she feels that no one cares
She starts to think of more affairs
Never let her start to think she'll be alone
Then you take her in your arms and you hold her near
You tell her that you love her and you still her fear
You're only reassuring what she knows is in your heart!
Maybe she's trusting, maybe she's not
Never keep a secret of your deepest thoughts
You're only reassuring what she knows is in your heart!
Keeping her friendship, curing her health
The love you have between you is the greatest wealth!
You're only reassuring what she knows is in your heart!
But when she feels that no one cares
She starts to think of more affairs
Never let her start to think she'll be alone
Possibly comely, possibly homely
All of us are capable of feeling lonely
The power of a woman is the love that's in her soul!
Daytime smiles and nighttime tears
The coming and going of the passing years
The power of a woman is the love that's in her soul!
Women in the pictures, women in song
Women are the grace in the world gone wrong!
The power of a woman is the love that's in her soul!
But when she feels that no one cares
She starts to think of more affairs
Never let her start to think she'll be alone
But it really doesn't matter when the winds are blowing
Whether it's raining, or whether it's snowing
The sun shines down on all of us in love
The sun shines down on all of us
The love we are showing is not enough
The power of a woman is the power she feels in love!
Most Of Us Don't Understand At All
To walk a world that's full of wonder
Spoil the catch and see the hunter
Talk of tales of exploitation
I think I want an explanation
Further to the situation
Why we live in degradation
Most of us don't understand at all
Most of us don't understand at all
That human life is rent asunder
Loves defiled and dies in thunder
We are born with acclamation
Live to learn intimidation
Swell to proud exaggeration
Then we die in isolation
Most of us don't understand at all
Most of us don't understand at all
Most of us don't understand at all
Time is as we can conceive it
None of us have yet perceived it
Winds just pass in open ocean
Clouds can merge in constant motion
We are clouds in love's emotion
Rise to heights of joyous notion
Clouds create the universe of love
Clouds create the universe of love
Clouds create the universe of love
Free
Samples
Well, if we look around at the world
Then we look inside ourselves
I think you know that you will find
Why we don't hang it on a shelf
'Cause life goes on in all its ways
And I know it's gonna be alright
We gonna go to sleep tonight and we'll make it
Through the night, 'cause we are real.
Well are those free samples he said to me
As he looked inside my bowl.
No, that's the money I have made from the stories I have told
And some people recognize the truth today
And some just pass you by.
You know the ones that are still asleep by the glazed
Look in their eyes, 'cause we are real.
And the lights are shinin' on the street out there
With the people passin' by
You see their faces and some are smilin'
And some wanta make you cry
But life goes on in all it's ways, and I know it's gonna be alright
We gonna go to sleep tonight and we'll make it
Through the night, 'cause we are real
Try to
Find a Way (aka "Beautiful People" Ste. Foy, Quebec, Wed. May 14,
1997)
Now the Beautiful People think they set the
Standards and the Beautiful People seem to get the kudos
But the not so beautiful carry the load
So the Beautiful People always seem to try
To find a way to hide their falling tears
So the Beautiful People always seem to try
To find a way to hide their falling tears
And the not so beautiful work the menials
And the not so beautiful make things run
And the not so beautiful have their moments
And I know they always have more fun
So the Beautiful People always seem to try
To find a way to hide their falling tears
But why do we have to make a distinction
Why do we have to make a choice?
It only sends us back into remorse
And the Beautiful People have to work at arrogance
And the Beautiful People have their attitudes
But an attitude's a front for insecurity
And all of us are dancing to our changing moods
So the Beautiful People always seem to try
To find a way to hide their falling tears
So the Beautiful People always seem to try
To find a way to hide their falling tears
But why do we have to make a distinction
Why do we have to make a choice?
It only sends us back into remorse
One Way Ticket
Well I knew this was a one way ticket
But you know I had to come
The light that was shining from inside your soul
Told me this was home
You know I have to roam the world
And leave you all alone
I know it ain't the same as bein' there
This talkin' on the phone
But love wins out through sun and storm
And I love you till it's wrong
And all I really need from you tonight
Is to know that you'll be strong
And California's not that hot
Though it don't have that much rain
And all the greedy people and their money,
Well, they'll drive you 'bout insane
And the men keep fallin' all over you
They'll promise you the moon
But they'll break your heart from the very start
And say they'll be back soon
But we'll do our best like all the rest
Even when the times get hard
But if we keep on lovin' each other this way
We'll hold the winning card
Now the roses bloom outside our house
And the sun shines in our eyes
And there ain't much more that a man could want
Than a good woman by his side
You know you're a woman that inspires men's dreams
To makes us carry on
So keep on shinin' that light of yours
And listen to this song
And always try to be yourself
Don't worry what the others say
And I will always be right there
To help you in every way
So we knew this was a one way ticket
But you know we had to go
We found each other in a troubled world
And we've done the best we know
And I love you just the way you are
For me you got to do the same
We both are looking for some peace and freedom
In this Goddamn silly game
And I believe we'll make it through
If we keep our feelings clear
And let the wind blow through our hearts
And chase out all the fears.
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
Sleep Pretty Baby
Sleep pretty baby, sleep pretty baby
Sleep pretty baby and dream away your troubles
I'll keep the bogeyman away from your doors
Moonlight shinin' on your face through the window
Just close your eyes and you'll be able to soar
I said, flying with the freedom of a bird without gilded wings
Diving and climbing through the canyons of clouds
When you return you will be able to clearly see
You will awaken with peace and serenity
Sleep pretty baby, sleep pretty baby
Morning brings you clarity, the winds become your song
You can fill your life with joy, your days won't be so long
I say, moments full of happiness, moments full of love
Daydreams of the things you want, the things you're thinking of
Soon become reality, living in your heart
Make yourself a promise, that life becomes an art
And sleep pretty baby, sleep pretty baby
Smile pretty baby, and keep away from frowns
Never let them worry you, most of them are clowns
Sunsets come in red and gold, evenings come in blue
Stars are made for wishing on, most of them come true
Some nights it will rain a little, some nights it will pour
Some days will be difficult, some nights even more
Never let them worry you, that's what love is for
Set your heart on happiness, and open up the door
And sleep pretty baby, sleep pretty baby
Peace Song
The Peace Song Narrative
Throughout the endless reaches of the universe
there are only two constants, chaos and life.
On one of the outermost limbs of the galaxy designated
The Milky Way, there is a very small solar system with
a G type star at it's center. On the third planet from this
star, due to a combination of chemicals raised to
consciousness, there is a sentient species that has
Arrived at a moment of crucial decision. Where acceptance
And harmony ensure life, and greed and fear ensure
Death. What most of them don't understand, is that the
Only difference it makes is to them
Peace Song (May Peace Prevail on Earth) (L.A. circa 1986)
May peace prevail on Earth
May peace be in our homes and countries
In these troubled times we live in
We will see the dark come light, Oh
May peace prevail on Earth tonight
In our lives
May our missions be accomplished
May our deeds be won with joy
And we will thank the guardian deities
Thank the guardian spirit force, Oh
May the ship of peace be on her course
Toward all shores
And the sages make their statements
And the statesmen have their say
But we will learn that wisdom comes
From mistakes we've made upon the way, Oh
May peace be here to stay
In our day
And we are gathered here in freedom
We are gathered here in might
To show our children the solutions
That come from peace and why it's right, Oh
May peace prevail on Earth tonight
In our lives
And the distant mountains beckon
And the skies will heed our cry
And space awaits the joy of mankind
As we ask the reasons why, Oh
Yet peace in not so high
It lies inside
Of every being there is vision
Each man and woman has a voice
If we can work together in harmony
We bring peace out from it's source, Oh
May the ship of peace be on her course
Toward all shores
For war is not the answer
It is not the strongest force
It's love that binds us all together
And guides the shape of history's course, Oh
Let all of us rejoice
And raise our voice
May peace prevail on Earth
May peace be in our homes and countries
In these troubled times we live in
We will see the dark come light, Oh
May peace prevail on Earth tonight
In our lives
Par for the
Course
I gotta knob on the steerin' wheel, an
automatic pilot
Gotta sleeper in the back a couple nickels in my pocket
I'm headed toward a thunderstorm, I'm in a little pain.
Gonna be two of us drivin', just me and that rain.
But lord I'm gettin' tired of hauling these loads
Yes I'm gettin' tired of seein' these roads
One of these days I'm going to have a little sit
'Cause I'm flat out gettin' too old for this shit |
