Miss Broadcast
(verse 1)
swinging delicately is a sign of the times
always in a predicament
where there's smoke, there's fire
follow it to get the hot scoop
the world keeps on turning
we keep learning and yearning
woah woah woah
these exciting days
it's all up to me how you live
will it be fear of people in suits?
or will it not rain with sunshine?
tape an episode
broadcast over the whole globe
woah woah woah
(chorus)
I saw on TV
that the world is one big stage
the channel changed
like the flicking of a book's page
and then I realized
these words I speak have power
more at seven, more at eleven
for details and interviews
(end chorus)
(verse 2)
home may not be as safe as you think
the brink will be on the news
followed by a conversation
on how the economy is doomed
politics and sports in between lots of filler
woah woah woah
(chorus)
a challenge thwarts
it's romantic isn't it?
eye witness reports
the scene was dramatic, that's for sure
the truth is
things were made up
see you in court, after this report
I don't have a heart at all
(end chorus)
(bridge)
with these feelings
going out over the air
it's not magic
these are the issues in which we care
it's not that I have an agenda
it's just that I have something to say
the world keeps on turning
we keep learning and yearning
woah woah woah
(chorus)
does anyone
even need a reason?
the future is
right over the orange horizon
news is nothing but juicy gossip
more at seven, more at eleven
these are today's top stories
(end chorus)
Full Moon of Fortune
(verse 1)
the lone wolf howls at the full moon in the sky
the hills roll into the spring night
a full moon shining bright on my broken heart
it feels heavy
what is my fortune?
your feelings are perhaps too strong
if this love isn't right, I want to be wrong
(chorus)
I am not an angel at all
but not like a devil either
if eternity truly last forever
then with you is where I want to be
(end chorus)
(verse 2)
we began like rocks bracing against a river's deep
time passed and we survived
moving from friends into gentle lovers
worked out in the long run
if the gears of time suddenly stop making sounds
you're the person I want to be around
(chorus)
this angel lost her white wings
but with her voice she continues to sing
holding onto you ever so tight
we will love into the night
(end chorus)
(bridge)
your feelings are perhaps too strong
if this love isn't right, I want to be wrong
(chorus)
I am not an angel at all
but not like a devil either
if eternity truly last forever
then with you is where I want to be
(end chorus)
Once In An Eternity
(opening)
because I love you
(chorus)
fate and destiny
only allow a meeting
like this once in an eternity
no matter how holy
a bond it may be
our love will last infinitely
(end chorus)
(verse 1)
the inception of our birth of true love
started out hazy
the conception of our matrimony
is so pure and lovely
obstacles may block
hate and karma, hate and karma we’ll triumph
after all we’re humans only
but our hearts will remain strong forever
(verse 2)
let my sincerity be a fast vehicle
to carry your confidence to my call
let your untamed ruggedness
be won by my carefulness
like a husband and wife in harmony
our star signs are
compatible, desirable, planets align
I’m praying away the negativity
and floating in the cosmos, the cosmos
with you, finally
(chorus)
fate and destiny
brought you to me
an enchantment of eternity
keep loving me
I’ll stay next to you with summery passion
because our unity will never go out of fashion
(end chorus)
(bridge)
gaze out at the spiral galaxy
look into my mind’s third eye
fate and destiny
only allow a meeting
like this once in an eternity
no matter how holy
a bond it may be
our love will last infinitely
fate and destiny
brought you to me
an enchantment of eternity
keep loving me
I’ll stay next to you with summery passion
because our unity will never go out of fashion
(Chorus)
fate and destiny
only allow a meeting
like this once in an eternity
no matter how holy
a bond it may be
our love will last infinitely
fate and destiny
brought you to me
an enchantment of eternity
keep loving me
I’ll stay next to you with summery passion
because our unity will never go out of fashion
(end chorus)
Sapphire of September’s Evening Sky
(chorus)
sapphire of September’s evening sky
like my attitude, you too are a far cry
sayonara, the promise that can’t be kept
I’m leaving on a jet
sapphire the color of the sky’s dark blue
I got tired so I got up and flew
past Mercury and found myself in the blue’s deep
(end chorus)
(verse 1)
I think I told my mama
I can’t tell which of us bought drama
but it was shipped to me
which one of us lost our minds on the street?
no more dates and in different beds we sleep
no more from me, I’ll take the leap
daring, daring, and challenging
I’ll the motorcycle handle and blow
threw in the towel, now here I go
(chorus)
sapphire, in my wedding ring
the glass shattered and it ended spring
sayonara, I found myself at last
sapphire, up past the clouds
it must be a planet, I wonder out loud
I’ll head there and forget about what’s dead
(end chorus)
(Verse 2)
you told our friends at the end
I’d never last and be trapped in the past
why should I be sad?
my smile makes you mad
your temperament that gets you out of a pinch
handling you is a cinch
even “forever” threw in the wrench
darling, it’ll just take a weekend
to get over 7 years and
dye my hair and do what I dare
(Chorus)
sapphire, in September’s evening sky
if only you had lit that burning fire
sayonara, to a past with no desire
sapphire, I found the gold at the end of the rainbow
it marched me through a silver town on my tip toes
what would we have become? We’ll never know
(end chorus)
(chorus)
sapphire of September’s evening sky
like my attitude, you too are a far cry
sayonara, the promise that can’t be kept
I’m leaving on a jet
sapphire the color of the sky’s dark blue
I got tired so I got up and flew
past Mercury and found myself in the blue’s deep
sapphire, in my wedding ring
the glass shattered and it ended spring
sayonara, I found myself at last
sapphire, up past the clouds
it must be a planet, I wonder out loud
I’ll head there and forget about what’s dead
(end chorus)
The Next Scene
(Verse 1)
it was like an old movie, more precise a noir
kinda like Casablanca set at the exact hour
the morning heat turned into a chilly night
the gray fog was so thick
our healthy love became sick
overlap got the best of us
juggling the everyday plot
it was too much for me, it was a lot
(chorus)
bye bye love
onto the next scene
the director yells cut on a monochrome dream
all of your love
got packed up with the set
and moved onto the next project
(end chorus)
(verse 2)
we stood on shaky ground at the climax
I turned around to run and you didn’t grab my wrist
the morning light was like a spotlight
you’re just not that bright
you didn’t understand what I said
it’s easier to just give up and say no the rest
everyone’s that’s in the know
said I’d be a difficult actress
(chorus)
bye bye love
onto the next scene
the director yells cut on a monochrome dream
everything that was me
time ran out on it
I guess I ran out of budget
(end chorus)
(bridge)
togetherness is an undesired trait
being along keeps me narrow and straight
magic does nothing for me
science is all that I see
(chorus)
bye bye love
onto the next scene
the director yells cut on a monochrome dream
everything that was me
time ran out on it
I guess I ran out of budget
(end chorus)
(chorus)
bye bye love
onto the next scene
the director yells cut on a monochrome dream
all of your love
got packed up with the set
and moved onto the next project
(end chorus)
Ambush
(verse 1)
you should have known
magic’s in my soul
I’m so smart, and you’re in the dark
the smile that I always forced
wasn’t something you possibly coerced, ba~by
you’ll have to get up pretty early
and really rush in the foot race
to get ahead of my impossible pace
it’s just not happening
(chorus)
maybe love was there at one point
but I busted out of that joint
you plotted an extravagant ambush
but I attacked and left you flush
(end chorus)
(verse 2)
the king of my soul
I took his trumped up throne
no man can possibly control
something he will never own
(verse 3)
I told you I was independent
and I understood your sentient
but this girl is a color
you will never be
march to your own beat, little drummer boy
no, I didn’t need a shiny new toy
a man with a heart like a warrior
is the only one that lights my fire
(chorus)
maybe love was there at one point
but I busted out of that joint
you plotted an extravagant ambush
but I attacked and left you flush
maybe love was there at one point
but I busted out of that joint
you plotted an extravagant ambush
but I attacked and left you flush
but I attacked and left you flush
(end chorus)
Sign of the Time
(verse 1)
the red of the flashing brake light
the danger reported on the late night news
the rusted hearts of an adventurous few
the weeding out done by Mother Nature
(bridge)
it’s our time, baby
our prime has arrived
wrapped in a box filled with precious moments
it’s simply a sign of the time
(verse 2)
father logic will ramble on to you
as soldiers fall they’re replaced by the young
our faintly lit dim future
we envisioned is as far as a Vegas tower
(bridge)
it’s our wish, baby
we craved to be adults
we were unaware it hurts to our fingertips
but we’re in control
(chorus)
once more, hold me, hold me
yes, it’s in my sight finally
please baby, hold me, hold me
it’s a sign of the time
we’re on a one way, one way, one way road
(end chorus)
(verse 3)
to a dystopia
with a utopia in the rear view mirror
and a baby in my arm begging me to hold her
we grew up, it’s a sign of the time
a generation laid in wait to find power
and attacked when the hour struck
there’s a hole in the sky
but someone can make money
so we close a blind eye
(chorus)
once more, hold me, hold me
yes, it’s in my sight finally
please baby, hold me, hold me
it’s a sign of the time
we’re on a one way, one way, one way road
(end chorus)
(bridge)
I shine a flashlight
to an audience that’s silent
not knowing we can circumvent
previous signs of the time
(chorus)
once more, hold me, hold me
yes, it’s in my sight finally
please baby, hold me, hold me
it’s a sign of the time
we’re on a one way, one way, one way road
once more, hold me, hold me
yes, it’s in my sight finally
please baby, hold me, hold me
it’s a sign of the time
we’re on a one way, one way, one way road
(end chorus)
The Planet of Dunes
(verse 1)
lonely, my only true friends
are the many grains of sand
and they don’t speak too much
flames, in the sky and red ground
scatter across the earth
and heat up my home’s hearth
saa, I ask forgiveness to the sea
long dried like a single tear
it’s cruel and shouts relentlessly
I roam a hot jungle on my knees
begging for a drop of water
it’s a mirage, a piece of my mind’s matter
(chorus)
life in the desert
agony so treacherous
a garden oasis
hides away in a forest
I can’t see from the trees
a highway of high degrees
an escape I’ll never know
stuck on this plateau
(end chorus)
(verse 2)
a cold night changes key
my mind plays tricks on me
a new view I cannot see
why’s that, I suffer for thee
when you do nothing for me
walking these dunes peacefully
saa, the planet of dunes is cursed
and that’s not the worst
I swear at the landscape
my eyes blinded by the sun
my body coming undone
the hot wind goes on the run
(chorus)
ahh, my hometown’s purgatory
no strangers to tell my story
on the planet of dunes
time can fill its hourglass
with the sands of this place
and marvel at the barren and solar
(end chorus)
(bridge)
a land so hostile
a plan so volatile
I said in a hush
and left in a rush
I don’t even have a name
but it’s all the same
a year without rain
is a lifetime of pain
(chorus)
the temperature skips over the dormancy
even the shadow dries up in the light
and there’s prickly vegetation in sight
month and months going in circles
direction is universal
saa, I ask forgiveness to the sea
long dried like a single tear
it’s cruel and shouts relentlessly
I roam a hot jungle on my knees
begging for a drop of water
it’s a mirage, a piece of my mind’s matter
saa, the planet of dunes is cursed
and that’s not the worst
I swear at the landscape
my eyes blinded by the sun
my body coming undone
the hot wind goes on the run
(end chorus)
Good-Bye Friend
(chorus)
all the sadness, all the sadness
made me search for a way home
let me call you my dear friend
even though I won't see you again
(end chorus)
(verse 1)
the end is just the beginning
I believe so I'll keep living
it's so hard without you
but we'll make it through
through our God
why is it a part of life?
no eternal laughter just strife
you left sickness for health
no more poverty just wealth
I'll see you later
(chorus)
all the sadness, all the sadness
made me search for a way home
let me call you my dear friend
even though I won't see you again
(end chorus)
(verse 2)
you were so full of life
the people you love can still live
by your example
with your couple of wings
show us what glory brings
(chorus)
the loneliness, the loneliness
I cannot help but think of you
let me be your dear friend
deep down in your heart
even though we're apart
(end chorus)
(bridge)
chide me, gently
when I hurry
through life
help me get through the world
(chorus)
all the sadness, all the sadness
I continue to feel when I call your name
the following summers will never be the same
ever since I lost my friend
all the sadness, all the sadness
made me search for a way home
through our Lord we'll meet once more
let me love you again my dear friend
let me call you my dear friend
(end chorus)
Hello, My Friend
(verse 1)
hello, my friend
one summer I fell in love with you
ahh, it was short
a time so cruel and moody too
a summer just like that
destiny, you knew for awhile, didn't you?
there was a, tranquility and simplicity
that we can't get back, ahh
(chorus)
all the sadness, all the sadness
made me search for a way home
let me call you my dear friend
even though I won't see you again
(end chorus)
(verse 2)
hello, my friend the stores have started to close
for the year
a typhoon's on the way, it cools down the place
yesterday, I embrace the pain from the summer
I fell for you
every single time
this season's in a hurry
do you think of me? ahh
(chorus)
the loneliness, the loneliness
I cannot help but think of you
let me be your dear friend
deep down in your heart
even though we're apart
(end chorus)
(bridge)
chide me, gently
when I hurry
through life
help me get through the world
(chorus)
all the sadness, all the sadness
I continue to feel when I call your name
the following summers will never be the same
ever since I lost my friend
all the sadness, all the sadness
made me search for a way home
let me call you my dear friend
even though I won't see you again
the loneliness, the loneliness
I cannot help but think of you
let me be your dear friend
deep down in your heart
even though we're apart
(end chorus)
Happy Birthday
(Verse 1)
dear friend,
right here, right now
in between Venus and Mars
here you are
one more year
no more tears
just fun and wishes all day
don’t count all those striped candles
a vanilla cake and chocolate medals
well words and a sparkling glow
now make a wish and blow
may they all come to realize
in actuality, in reality
(verse 2)
dear friend,
during this day
the world pays
tribute to your achievements
with presents
and people’s presence
front and center
for everyone to cater
all your favorites in one place
going at your own pace
but at the strike of midnight
you’ll hear from me first tonight
congratulations, oh
(chorus)
go ahead, go ahead, go ahead
enjoy your long life
with courage
do not think of it as being old
think of yourself as an antique
just reaching your new peak
happy birthday to you
(end chorus)
(verse 3)
dear friend,
I’ll say aloha
from paradise
getting to your destination
after so long
taking action
making a name for yourself
it doesn’t have to be complicated
no reason to be unhappy
make a correction and be sophisticated
making new rules
buying new boots
being in charged in a brand new age
(chorus)
be Stronger, be stronger, be stronger
being better than ever
and forever
a legacy, majesty, legacy
is born today
happy birthday to you
(end chorus)
(chorus)
go ahead, go ahead, go ahead
enjoy your long life
with courage
do not think of it as being old
think of yourself as an antique
just reaching your new peak
happy birthday to you
be stronger, be stronger, be stronger
being better than ever
and forever
a legacy, majesty, legacy
is born today
happy birthday to you
(end chorus)
(verse 1)
as the way the water is rough
where a river meets an ocean
you know my guard is always tough
except around my baby
I’ve lived this way through so many summers
a mastermind even when she slumbers
I’d like to be on cloud nine
if only my fears would let me
wondering what’s behind the door
planning for something more
trying to fashion a weapon
out of ordinary objects
never showing my side or myself
because I’m afraid you’ll run and hide yourself
It’s in my mind, in my mind
(chorus)
and I ask of you
will you kill me at that time with song
if I wander too far in the wrong?
promise me once more
you’re my guardian knight to be
don’t let me, don’t let me go
if it comes to blows
I know you’ll be one to strike
my bad dreams are always right
especially for me
(end chorus)
(verse 2)
my psychic powers alerted me
of a perfect storm
everything fell excellently
into the wrong form
this razor sharp intuition
will bring door to fruition
always, always
(chorus)
forevermore
I’d gaze with you into the night sky
I’d tell you vague and pretty lies
so you’ll promise me once more
the shining canvas
With black paint, I ruined it
I want to, I want to know
will I go down fighting?
or just easy dreaming?
my predictions are always right
(end chorus)
(bridge)

Now Is On
(verse 1)
rolling down a steep hill
as if standing still
quickly the world turns
and there’s nowhere to run
if we cannot hide
if there’s no free ride
what happens to our souls
as we grow frail and old?
going on
from day to everyday
it’s hard to see the change from this up close
now is on
it never goes out of style
and in the season it always makes the most
(chorus)
we’ll never be the same
it’s not the rules that change but the game
spring summer fall winter
never be the same
from grandparents to parents
and children to grandkids
(end chorus)
(verse 2)
if held up to the wind
the candle goes out
blown by a force
that perhaps lives in space
if we can’t be omniscient
we’re free to question it
it makes me tired
but I get up and go
going on
constantly in this environment
what I feel can shape it
changing on
into the endless void
floating like a spinning meteoroid
(chorus)
we’ll never be the same
not a trace will remain
but our past feelings leave a stain
never be the same
from generation to generation
take action anew
(end chorus)
(bridge)

Remember November
(verse 1)
did you know?
the old story became a new legend
the old legend became a new myth
and the new myth became my fascination
now I know
what I remembered before
wasn’t just a fragment of a past life
in the present it made me tough
being here in this place so familiar
have I been here or there or what I figure?
(chorus)
November, it’s clearer
there you was and here I am
there was no love
there was no hate
it was indifference
remember, it’s closer
it was so insignificant
that I even can’t
come up with rules or games
recall it when I close my eyes
(end chorus)
(verse 2)
before going to dreamland at night
another piece of the puzzle falls in place
and I put it together
and I swore
to a complete stranger
there must have been danger
though I’m not sure what
maybe I was a June bride
or perhaps even a seasoned wife
maybe a ride, maybe I died, but it was my life
(chorus)
November, I go over
I was you and you were me
there was a silver lining
in the clouds and skyline
remember another
on the tip of my mind
there was blue and shadow
at the time
it was so insignificant
that I can’t
recall it at all
(end chorus)
(chorus)

What's Wrong With My Mind?
(chorus)
what's wrong with my mind?
my brain cells work fine
I'm aging like wine
yet tingles run up my spine
I crave to be in spring love
yet others think I'm above
I'm so lonely, I'm so lonely
(end chorus)
(verse 1)
it's not enough, I guess
I'm tough, I stress
my friends say I'm too smart
and I've got it down to an art
but if I have to be silly
I guess it's not for me
or maybe guys just can't see this lady
still I pot on my rouge
I do what I choose
it never works
(chorus)
I read in a book
perhaps it's the way I look
but the mirror in front of me
shows a regular face reflecting
it's beyond my earthly control
my parents are worried about it all
(end chorus)
(bridge)
bon voyage
it's my recluse age
in my eyes
behind my lies
I tell to attract friends
in the end, who will be around?
when I'm above looking at the ground
maybe in heaven
I'll meet my match and then
not have a worry or care
below my flowing hair
I don't know how to play the game
my friends say it's all the same
I'm not looking hard enough
(chorus)
what's wrong with my mind?
my brain cells work fine
I'm aging like wine
yet tingles run up my spine
I crave to be in spring love
yet others think I'm above
so strongly, so strongly
I read in a book
perhaps it's the way I look
but the mirror in front of me
shows a regular face reflecting
it's beyond my earthly control
my parents are worried about it all
what's wrong with my mind?
my brain cells work fine
I'm aging like wine
yet tingles run up my spine
I crave to be in spring love
yet others think I'm above
always, always
(end chorus)
Blue Rain Blue
(verse 1)
passing by frozen roses
one door opens, another closes
I think of you
ah, love is just so fickle
every time if I had nickel
I think I'd own the bank
who do I owe the pleasure
for this life, for this treasure
is it you?
ah, today the sky's so blue
all God's words ring true
and I look for you
ah, where will the train I'm on go?
the pace can be slow
riding the flow
"gray, rainy" describes you
but heart falls apart
(chorus)
they call me blue rain blue
collected loves, I own a few
someone pretty, I'm known by this city
flying like a precious blue bird
the rumors, I'm sure you have heard
gathered around in small crowds
it's all about me
(end chorus)
(verse 2)
a reputation became infamous
if you were with me, they'd whisper about us
how could someone so cute
be so devious?
they watch for me on the street
I think they're envious
I've thought ahead
that's a path I'll never retread
(chorus)
they call me rain blue rain
they think men can be trained
I see they're happy, so I lock on and raid
while it's colorful and end their parade
statements that I've said with regrets
I shut it down and ended it
that's how I stood by myself
(end chorus)
(bridge)
woah, you've got me accused wrongly
someday in the stormy future
you'll find it's just my humor
and that I like to destroy empires I've built
(chorus)
they call me blue rain blue
collected loves, I own a few
someone pretty, I'm known by this city
flying like a precious blue bird
the rumors, I'm sure you have heard
gathered around in small crowds
it's all about me
they call me rain blue rain
they think men can be trained
I see they're happy, so I lock on and raid
while it's colorful and end their parade
statements that I've said with regrets
I shut it down and ended it
that's how I stood by myself
bada ba ba ba parade
bada ba ba ba parade
bada ba ba ba parade
(end chorus)
Time Is an Illusion
(verse 1)
there I was asleep and lost in a misty forest land
the dilapidated mansion turned into something grand
red velvet on the ground, and gold walls all around
then you appeared and stood there bathed in silver light
taking my hand and making me understand
we’re spirit worlds apart, but we can still talk
with words from me, and smiles that you bring
I swear the clock hands stood still silently
(chorus)
(illusion)
time is an illusion
rising and setting with the ancient orange sun
(solitude)
quietly watching us come undone
like we’re bits of red thread
all the pure words we’ve said
transcend time and ascend space
(end chorus)
(verse 2)
I should have known you’d never leave me alone
you can still see how much I’ve grown
standing by the emerald sea, and the gates that are pearly
the same thing that separated us
brought us back together at once
(chorus)
(illusion)
time is an illusion
even you gazed into the water like a mirror
(solitude)
with your determination and attitude
you fought the brave fight
and saw what forever can include
(end chorus)
(chorus)
(illusion)
time is an illusion
rising and setting with the ancient orange sun
(solitude)
quietly watching us come undone
like we’re bits of red thread

Glory Badland
(Verse 1)
soon as we, soon as we
pass to paradise
is it like rolling the dice?
where are we, where are we
bound to go?
is it only up from the ground here?
I only ask because it’s not clear
religion isn’t reassuring at all
why is it so terrifying
when it’s a fact of living?
can you look it in the eyes
and stare it in the face?
(chorus)
huzzah, here we go
to a place we all should know
a holy island
I found it right here
but I wasn’t allowed to stare
glory badland
(end chorus)
(verse 2)
why shouldn’t it be
that you and me
are what we want to be
is it taboo or is something ado?
it’s like being on a straight highway
and slamming on the brakes
it’s something no man understands
but he goes on living
and will stand on holy ground
in a state of grace
during the rat race
(chorus)
huzzah, here we go
so nostalgically
to a holy island
take it’s value casually
it’s a calamity
glory badland
(end chorus)
(bridge)
however, happiness feels good
but why is there sadness?
the light will shine
just in time, in time to show you
(chorus)
huzzah, here we go
so nostalgically
to a holy island
take it’s value casually
it’s a calamity
glory badland
huzzah, here we go
to a place we all should know
a holy island
I found it right here
but I wasn’t allowed to stare
glory badland
huzzah, here we go
so nostalgically
to a holy island
take it’s value casually
it’s a calamity
glory badland
huzzah, here we go
to a place we all should know
a holy island
I found it right here
but I wasn’t allowed to stare
glory badland
(end chorus)
Fireflies & Shooting Stars
(verse 1)
being outside underneath the stars
was a good date idea, my honey
being with you and seeing how you are
making me laugh at shrewd things that are funny
where will we go next from here, my honey?
or can we stay here a little longer in nature
your jacket over my shoulders
being giddy because I’m happy
(chorus)
wondering if astronauts go surfing on the Milky Way
does the Andromeda galaxy ever come out to play?
what I thought was twinkling shining stars, it’s not what they are
you whisper underneath the foliage up to the sky
“it’s a rain shower of fireflies”
(end chorus)
(verse 2)
in the last minutes of our romantic date, my honey
you pull out your lighter and pretend it’s a candle
and my heart glides because I’m rich with no money
use my lap as a pillow on this gingham picnic blanket, my honey
I run my fingers through your hair for communication
and I wish this moment in time
could be a vacation
(chorus)
pretending to close my eyes and make wishes
you keep your hands steady on my heartbeat
and just as I feel the summer heat
you say to me kind of bizarre
“look up, a shooting star!”
(end chorus)
(chorus)
wondering if astronauts go surfing on the Milky Way
does the Andromeda galaxy ever come out to play?
what I thought was twinkling shining stars, it’s not what they are
you whisper underneath the foliage up to the sky
“it’s a rain shower of fireflies”
(end chorus)
I Have An Ace Up My Sleeve
(verse 1)
don’t worry it won’t be a painful fall
you won’t feel a thing, not one thing, dude
your ego got way too large
so I’ve been sent to destroy you
(chorus)
hurry up and make a move, uh huh
my starry-eyed baby
I’m not the kind of girl, uh huh
who’s a fool that’s cruel for a mighty love
(end chorus)
(verse 2)
always thinking you’re a knightly king
well, I bring the lightning as a queen
thinking you’re two steps ahead in the game
I have an ace up my sleeve all the same
(chorus)
you’re jittery, want your mama? uh huh
my scaredy cat baby
it’s not fair at all you say. uh huh
neither is this affair, my mighty love
(end chorus)
(bridge)
you’re jittery, want your mama? uh huh
I won’t hold you close, baby
tomorrow’s a brand new day
but I’m here to stay, mighty love
I will not fall for your charms
if it’s the last thing I do
keep your arms to yourself
I’m better off by myself
grab my hammer
because I better
knock you down a peg or four
(chorus)
hurry up and make a move, uh huh
my starry-eyed baby
I’m not the kind of girl, uh huh
who’s a fool that’s cruel for a mighty love
you’re jittery, want your mama? Uh huh
my scaredy cat baby
It’s not fair at all you say. Uh huh
neither is this affair, my mighty love
(end chorus)
Man in the Moon
(chorus)
floating up, floating down
light-weight steps
gravity, gravity
holds me softly
no sound, no ground
the world it pounds
anticipation is the reaction
since yesterday, I’ve been sky high
since today, the waves aren’t dry
since yesterday, I’m on this ship
since tomorrow, I’m so cool
(end chorus)
(verse 1)
he says his life’s dream is
a shining white Rolls Royce
and a pool bigger than his large house
somebody else’s keys
clink in his pocket
so he moves them into his coat
the gym is his oasis and space
it’s a real nice body
all of the pretty women are
defeated easily
can’t keep the unlucky at bay
my job gives me stress
and I work without rest
if I’m determined
I hope that success
is close and I’ll be the best
(chorus)
changing and revolving
the chance is there
it’s free and it flees
if it comes trues here
even the invisible will be visible
since yesterday, I’m in good shape
since today, I move at my pace
since yesterday, I’m competent
since tomorrow, I’m confident
(end chorus)
(verse 2)
(man in the moon
take a man to the moon)
someday everybody
will hear a rumor about that guy
who thought he was so sly
as if I danced
I stomped a light
floating in a puddle
I hope happiness is not muddled
and it’s with satisfaction
in the same place
(chorus)
floating up, floating down
light-weight steps
gravity, gravity
holds me softly
no sound, no ground
the world it pounds
anticipation is the reaction
since yesterday, I’ve been sky high
since today, the waves aren’t dry
since yesterday, I’m on this ship
since tomorrow, I’m so cool
(end chorus)

November's April Fool
(verse 1)
I'm usually, carefully always on guard
but when I figured out what you were all about
it was hard, I hit solid ground and knocked myself right out
it was quite a sight
the circus moved into my town
my hard work spiraled down
we met in September
but I realized in November
I was the April fool
I wanted you to hold onto
then I let you tactfully go
but now I know
I was right all along
but I'm not so strong
I second guessed myself for so long
I'll write you once more
and ignore all of my core
(chorus)
we met and I let
my brain tell my heart to drain
all love in my vicinity
I didn't want to be the clown
of my quiet home town
I broke our affinity
(end chorus)
(verse 2)
inhaling the gas fumes from the bus
I wondered if I was just that stupid
I dodged the bullet from cupid
you were shady but I was lonely
so I sent a smoke signal
saying I wanted to be your lady
then I became the joke of it all
(chorus)
not charming, not dashing
our love is starting to be plain alarming
still I unsuccessfully play it cool
he's laughing, they're pointing
instead of you, I became the April fool
(end chorus)
(bridge)
I forgot your lies
despite all my tries
I ignored my spies
(chorus)
we met and I let
my brain tell my heart to drain
all love in my vicinity
I didn't want to be the clown
of my quiet home town
I broke our affinity
not charming, not dashing
our love is starting to be plain alarming
still I unsuccessfully play it cool
he's laughing, they're pointing
instead of you, I became the April fool
we met and I let
my brain tell my heart to drain
all love in my vicinity
I didn't want to be the clown
of my quiet home town
I broke our affinity
not charming, not dashing
our love is starting to be plain alarming
still I unsuccessfully play it cool
he's laughing, they're pointing
instead of you, I became the April fool
(end chorus)
Rondo
(verse 1)
the candles lit for blessed memories
shine on everyone yet I start to cry unsightly
with your wide smile, we join our cheeks joking
you put your palm on my back with a naughty smack
the wound you left in a stunning awe
is a crocus blooming in fresh snow thaw
it's all a little profusely maddening
I guess that is why they call it a joyous wedding
(chorus)
come, lift my white veil
lay your eyes on your holy grail
make me fly with a kiss of an oath
drown our future with nothing but hope
come, write on a fresh page
when you write your name and your age
the symbol of amore will become new folklore
(end chorus)
(verse 2)
tell the young bard to play a lasting melody
till the red wine drowns all the memories
let us dance like we're so happy
as nobody could ever possibly be
in my perilous mind, I wonder if you can see
a single time you regret ever loving me
the years spin into a gold thread majestically
you and I are then made into a tapestry
(chorus)
embraced by you so true
around and around, I spin on a rondo
tears and dreams so extra
become a become a grand fiesta
only God himself
can keep us apart selfishly
it's handed down once more
our love folklore
(end chorus)
(bridge)
we malt with such joy
sadness leaves with your voice
us two lovers, just me and you, are the same
a flame
ah
come, lift my white veil
lay your eyes on your holy grail
make me fly with a kiss of an oath
drown our future with nothing but hope
come, write on a fresh page
when you write your name and your age
the symbol of amore will become new folklore
(chorus)
embraced by you so true
around and around, I spin on a rondo
tears and dreams so extra
become a become a grand fiesta
only God himself
can keep us apart selfishly
it's handed down once more
our love folklore
come, lift my white veil
lay your eyes on your holy grail
make me fly with a kiss of an oath

A Midsummer Night's Dream
(verse 1)
give me a kiss like tequila on these lips
one that melts me down to the bones
a kiss just like embers
the June night air is like stifling música around you
still we do an intense dance
to show them how it's done
look at me, longingly
the dreams are
keeping me waiting from afar
(chorus)
watch me some more
right at the tragic end
it looks like you blazed aflame and burned
sayonara, I'll never forget how you're uncontrolled
and the hot tango between our souls
(end chorus)
(verse 2)
fireworks soaring up into the thin air
then rain down on us like squall that don't care
sparkling, shining
memories finish their lovelorn run
your dark shadow's all mine
and so is your valuable time
realizing without us
visualizing how we faded away
(chorus)
hold me some more
right at the very end
so tight I break and can't breathe
sayonara, my true amore, amore
there's only one man for me in history
(end chorus)
(bridge)
the lights dance
the floor turns and I take a chance
(chorus)
a Caribbean night
watch me some more
right at the tragic end
it looks like you blazed aflame and burned
sayonara, I'll never forget how you're uncontrolled
and the hot tango between our souls
hold me some more
right at the very end
so tight I break and can't breathe
sayonara, my true amore, amore
there's only one man for me in history
a Caribbean night
ah, it's getting so late
the rhythm feels great
sayonara, I'll never forget how you're uncontrolled
and the hot tango between our souls
a Caribbean night
(end chorus)
Siren
(verse 1)
Wednesday, I look out onto the sandy shore
to where I expect you are
always, clinging to a little bit of hope
that washed up like a frayed rope
destiny is such a funny curse
and to make it worse
time runs out
(chorus)
we can tread around the bush all day
beating ideas until they
get right out of our tight grasp
I can hear the wail of the siren
calling from the gray horizon
our youth met its match
(end chorus)
(verse 2)
sailor, far out at sea
the color emerald is free
its song calls you
always, ringing so true
can you hear
can you find where?
hurry to that familiar place
where we used to pace
(chorus)
we can arrive to what we both can see
we can yell until we fall on our knees
we'll never agree
our differences should bind us
our similarities should adjust
our dreams should combine
(end chorus)
(bridge)
always, clinging to a little bit of hope
that washed up like a frayed rope
seeing ideals can vary
yet be sweet like a strawberry
it's time
(chorus)
we can tread around the bush all day
beating ideas until they
get right out of our tight grasp
I can hear the wail of the siren
calling from the gray horizon
our dream met its match
we can arrive to what we both can see
we can yell until we fall on our knees
we'll never agree
our differences should bind us
our similarities should adjust
our youth should combine
we can tread around the bush all day
beating ideas until they
get right out of our tight grasp
I can hear the wail of the siren
calling from the gray horizon
our dream met its match
we can arrive to what we both can see
we can yell until we fall on our knees
we'll never agree
our differences should bind us
our similarities should adjust
our youth should combine
(end chorus)
Sunny Day Holiday
(verse 1)
make me lonely
and when I break into pieces
glue me back together
and then forever after
gaze at my cracks
make me crazy
with me feel every wind's breeze
no matter what's up your sleeve
as long as there's no grief
for the sake of me
let's only have fun times
let's lay under the sun, so sublime
as long as we're together
forever
(chorus)
so up high, sunny day
it's so right, holiday
(end chorus)
(verse 2)
if I loved you then
I'm infatuated now
no matter where you go
you should just know
I'm with you there
even if the storm gets windy and rough
I don't have to worry because you're tough
a man and woman against nature
with a love that nurtures
(chorus)
it's so right, always
and at night, all the ways
(end chorus)
(bridge)
and my nightly wish
so you won't see, I give it wash
wiping away so you won't think I'm silly
holding each other tight in rain
being there all the same
like I've ascended to heaven
it's your heart I'm in
make me lonely
just a little more
so that I will miss you
and then run to you
to turn red from blue
let's only have fun times
let's lay under the sun, so sublime
as long as we're together
forever
(chorus)
so up high, sunny day
it's so right, holiday
so up high, sunny day
it's so right, holiday
(end chorus)
I Can… I Can’t Wait For You Anymore
(verse 1)
ooh, where is love?
ooh, I can’t wait for you anymore
it was a fine Thursday, the wind blew through my dark long straight hair
my coffee went ice cold and I realized our love had done the same
promises are just like government bonds
they mature but you may never cash them in
I was lucky I jumped out through the window
all of your woes, all of your woes
finally caught up to my brain
(chorus)
ooh, where is love?
out the open door
I can’t wait for you anymore
(end chorus)
(verse 2)
it was almost a cold spring
now it’s a rainy, mild summer
we decided to be just friends
but even that would meet its end
freedom was when you pointed a finger
and I decided I was a marathon runner
one night imagining had me
plotting escape, plotting escape
like a villain in a red cape
(chorus)
ooh, where is love?
with your caring mama
I can’t wait for you anymore
(end chorus)
(bridge)
I can, no, I can’t wait for you
I have, I have so many important things to do
I lied, when I said you’re not a bother
but well, it’s the truth
(chorus)
ooh, where is love?
out the open door
I can’t wait for you anymore
ooh, where is love?
sayonara
I can’t wait for you anymore
ooh, where is love?
with your caring mama
I can’t wait for you anymore
ooh, where is love?
sayonara
I can’t wait for you anymore
(end chorus)
groove in retro
(verse 1)
ooh yeah
a jet with all the luxuries
pop the vintage bubbly
in private
ooh yeah
a priceless antique vase
the look on my rich face
is relaxing
(chorus)
living the life of Riley up in Beverly
the hills with all the famous thrills
walking like a 60s beauty queen
(end chorus)
(verse 2)
ooh yeah
a retro groove you
can vibe and buy into
flying high
ooh yeah
what to buy with all this money
I’ll spend it on you, honey
only
(chorus)
as the world spins, I will always win
embedded gold and lined with silver
the thought alone makes me shiver
(end chorus)
(chorus)
if everyone could have a single wish
they’d live a life like this
nothing but pure bliss
(end chorus)
(bridge)
ooh yeah
a retro groove
grab my Maserati keys
flying high
ooh yeah
a jet with all the luxuries
pop the vintage bubbly
always
ooh yeah
ooh yeah
ooh yeah
Carry On
(verse 1)
it was over for me
before I began or could plead
you were my freedom
and then it vanished suddenly
picking myself up
falling down like a comet's breakup
only to spiral with no control, carry on, carry on
I thought I was a good person
but I am broken and I worsen
(chorus)
I decided right then and right there
I hope you can hear me from your deep blue sea
I won't let the darkness follow me
and even now, carry on
(end chorus)
(verse 2)
the days dragged the sky
hitting a new stride
there isn't a free ride
but I'm doing okay without you
and then the words appeared in my mind
that I got to do enough living for the both of us
leave it all behind
carry on, carry on
grasp happiness and grace
be a great person with a smile on my face
(chorus)
I decided that for me and you only
our love existed that's enough to not be lonely
your unconditional love that I still see
it can still carry on
(end chorus)
(bridge)
I'll be happy if you're just aware of this promise
my time will be filled with grandeur and memories of us
and then when I come to meet you
I know they'll be sad because of me
(chorus)
I decided right then and right there
I hope you can hear me from your deep blue sea
I won't let the darkness follow me
and even now, carry on
(end chorus)
(verse 3)
it's not over for me
I'm on this road but I need
your strength that you left to be
the summer light to guide me
your tenacity that you taught
will be the determination that I seek
to guide me to that place, carry on
Spring, Come
(verse 1)
a faint white light in a slight rain shower
the sweet face of a sudden winter departure
the buds of pink tears gently pouring down
one by one, one by one
filling air with fragrance all around
the sky above, the sky above
the sky below, it crosses
and someday, and someday
it will come for me too
(chorus)
dearest spring, oh distant spring
when I close my winter eyes standing here
I hear your very loving
familiar voice calling to me from there
(end chorus)
(verse 2)
I left my nostalgic heart here with you
and it still awaits your answer so true
no matter how many calendar days go by
forever and ever
it will wait for my beloved
the sky above, the sky above
tomorrow, it crosses
and someday, and someday
it will surely reach me
(chorus)
dearest spring, still yet to be seen, spring
your dreamy gaze puts arms around me
blossom dream, oh a very brief dream
I am here gazing at all the green and blue
(end chorus)
(bridge)
blossom dream, a beautiful dream
I am here and you are over there
thinking of you, watching what grew
much like the rain that is blue
much like the flowers streaming past you
(chorus)
dearest spring, oh distant spring
when I close my winter eyes standing here
I hear your very loving
familiar voice calling to me from there
dearest spring, still yet to be seen, spring
your dreamy gaze puts arms around me
blossom dream, oh a very brief dream
I am here gazing at all the green and blue
dearest spring, oh distant spring
when I close my winter eyes standing here
I hear your very loving
familiar voice calling to me from there
dearest spring, still yet to be seen, spring
your dreamy gaze puts arms around me
blossom dream, oh a very brief dream
I am here gazing at all the green and blue
(end chorus)
