HEARD

GOOD NOW

I know now, though it took a little while. When I go crazy, I guess I go in style. I know now, see I’ve been out of sorts. Found out shadows can be real bad sports.

I'm good now, but I can't do what's undone. Be a long shot, I get a day in the sun. I'm good now, but it's taken time to see. The heavy toll it took on you standing by me.

I know now, to give it to you straight. Don't want to trouble, don’t wanna’ make you late. I know now, I should’a let it show. So much to tell, guess you gotta’ go.

I'm good now, but I can't do what's undone. Be a long shot, I get a day in the sun. I'm good now, but it's taken time to see. The heavy toll it took on you standing by me.

Taking flight when you believed in me. The landing lights, so hard to see. Lost my nerve and turned you away. Let memory serve come what may...**

I'm good now, but I can't do what's undone. Be a long shot, I get a day in the sun. I'm good now, but it's taken time to see. The heavy toll it took on you standing by me.

I’m good now. You know it’s alright.

ETIQUETTE

You’re no how-do-you-do gal, nix the charm school. I'm not your best pal, so don't blow your cool. You’re no pretty-please-miss, you’re not that polite. Got a downtown address and I haven't got all night.

Nobody's savior, times have changed. Bad behavior can be arranged. I’ll be a man about it and make you forget, your etiquette.

Hey, Juliet fly-by-night get it into your head. This ain't amateur night, so put it to bed. I don't need friends and I don't play second fiddle. We'll burn both ends with a blowtorch in the middle.

Nobody's savior, times have changed. Bad behavior can be arranged. I’ll be a man about it and make you forget, your etiquette.

So you sleep in the nude or in your party dress. You give attitude and a dangerous kiss. Well here’s an awakening and I mean rude. Baby, you're screwed if you ruin the mood.

Nobody's savior, times have changed. Bad behavior can be arranged. I’ll be a man about it and make you forget, your etiquette.

THE MIRROR DON'T LIE

This stage of the game your celebrity star is yesterday's fame at the five-and-dime bar. Killer cliché, caught in the act playing Dorian Gray, your looking glass cracked...

Blue is blue, laugh till you cry. Through is through, kiss it goodbye. True is true, the mirror don't lie.

Popping champagne at the French cabaret. Dropping a name well, trés enchanté. This is last call so bid it adieux. Hey, living doll you're no ingénue.

Blue is blue, laugh till you cry. Through is through, kiss it goodbye. True is true. Take one good look at yourself

Your picture of perfection has faded at last. Like a butterfly collection pinned to the past. It's no reflection, but…

Blue is blue, laugh till you cry. Through is through, kiss it goodbye. True is true, the mirror don't lie.

STILL GOING STRONG

Coffee's on, but the cup is cold. Sleepless dawn getting old. Thoughts of lovers stuck in reverse. Shoved into corners, a turn for the worse.

Sold down river, you ran your course. But who am I to talk of buyer's remorse. Whence I come – whither I go. Friends fair-weather - love's to and fro.

But that's an old song about the harder it gets. Of unrightable wrongs – vagrant regrets. I'm still going strong, slappin’ down bets. Fishing for wishes, casting my nets.

Still Going Strong – Still Going Strong. Right here… Right now…

Winners and losers, in some hole they dug. Beggars and choosers, swept under the rug...

But that's an old song about the harder it gets. Of unrightable wrongs – vagrant regrets. I'm still going strong, slappin’ down bets. Fishing for wishes, casting my nets.

It’s a tired old song about the harder it gets. Of unrightable wrongs – vagrant regrets. Still going strong, slappin’ down bets. Fishing for wishes, casting my nets...

Still going strong – Still going strong

THE SOUL

Down to the depths of the valley and the sea, everywhere up on top of the mountain from up to the top of the tree, there is a soul waiting to be awakened...

Look around, on the outside lookin. Cook it down, in your own juices cookin. Deepest darkest secrets I want to reveal. Work it out, baby, fingers to the bone workin. People pimp, eaten up by pride, people plead, eaten up inside.

The soul – knows what it need. The soul – knows when it bleed. The soul – begs to be freed. So feed this starvin' soul.

From up on top of the mountaintop - down to the envy of the sea.

Crocodile smile, don’t mean you’re stylin. Alligator style – I don't see you smilin. Buy the whole isle, baby, but no man is an island. No but jah come free I and I. People pose, cooler than cool, people preach, playin' the fool.

The soul – knows what it need. The soul – knows when it bleed. The soul – begs to be freed. So feed this starvin' soul.

Brother D.H. Lawrence said, “The soul is not to pile up defenses around herself.

You know I’m cravin’ it - Stark raven mad for it.

She is not to cry to some god beyond her salvation up on the road as the road opens, into the unknown…

Eyes gone empty in the face of the child. Hearts beat hungry in the wolves gone wild...

The soul – knows what it need. The soul – knows when it bleed. The soul – begs to be freed. So feed this starvin' soul.

DISTANT DRUMMING

You see me, I feel you do, you see me play it cool. You want some wisdom? Go find yourself a fool.

Tell yourself a lot of lies, life can get a little numbing. Nothing wipes off a disguise like the sound of distant drumming.

I feel you trapped, I watched you fight in a struggle to be free. You find out that love comes with a busted guarantee.

You didn’t hear the call, you didn’t see it coming. Had you listened at all, you’d have heard the distant drumming.

Some feet can walk forever, and never find no rhythm. Some hearts can’t get a beat, no matter what you give them. Some tears run down like rain at the sound of thunder. And a dream can disappear if you push it under.

So hold me and I’ll hold you in a strong embrace. It’s all we need to do when the world gets out of place.

It should come as no surprise when you finally see it coming. Nothing cuts you down to size like the sound of distant drumming.

Tell yourself a lot of lies - life can get a little numbing. Nothing wipes off a disguise like the sound of distant drumming.

ANIMAL ATTRACTION

Turnin – full pursuit hot on the chase. Skin it down – all bared teeth and devilish face. Burnin – blood boiling up inside of my veins. Drink it up – like the drought needs the rain. Gonna tantalize, tear down your fences...

Animal attraction - Eye to naked eye. Driven to distraction on a primitive high.

Branded – by an appetite so savage. Break it down – every bite you gotta ravage, honey. Red-handed – the color that marks the beast. Eat it up – like the famine needs the feast. Gonna tantalize, tear down your fences...

Animal attraction - Eye to naked eye. Driven to distraction on a primitive high.

Wanna take you...and be taken, taken by you.

Animal attraction - Eye to naked eye. Driven to distraction on a primitive high.

Animal attraction - Eye to naked eye. Driven to distraction on a primitive high.

OVERBOARD

Flying in the face of reason, like a thousand times before. Pick the last rose of the season, though they don't bloom here anymore. They don’t grow…

Search the soul beneath the skin. Find only blood and bone. Take a breath and swan dive in to a cold you've never known.

Overboard - This is not a drill. Overboard - Your heart stood still. Man overboard - Feel that chill. Save yourself first before anyone else will.

Shoot the shot with swagger, find you fired off a blank. Cut it cloak and dagger till all your stories sank – down, down. Set the safety on your sadness but it blew up anyway. Watch the wind of the wing of madness carry off a friend today.

Overboard - This is not a drill. Overboard - Your heart stood still. Man overboard - Feel that chill. Save yourself first before anyone else will.

So silent like riptide. No lifeguard when it turns. It's not who takes that ride, but who returns... Will you return? Do you yearn?

Overboard - This is not a drill. Overboard - Your heart stood still. Man overboard - Feel that chill. Save yourself first before anyone else will.

This can kill, baby…

MAN GONE MAD

He must be mad, out on crusade, prideful and blind. He's one mad man, mouth like a blade, cuts so unkind.

His angry heart, hurtful and hard. His angry heart, scornful and scarred. Angel heal - his angry heart.

He must be mad, out kicking ass, little by little. He's one mad man, all broken glass, breaking so brittle.

His angry heart, hurtful and hard. His angry heart, scornful and scarred. Angel heal…

It’s a wonder you're still there fighting to be heard. Will he lay you bare or wound with a word.

Is sorry too late to say? Please don't fly... Don’t fly away. Don’t fly...

His angry heart, hurtful and hard. His angry heart, scornful and scarred. Angel, forgive this man gone mad. Angel, forgive this mad, mad man. Angel heal - his angry heart.

MARIS ME AND THE SEA

The owl rides, rides with the hawk. Moths fly at the moon. All that crawl, crawl or walk find darkness at noon... Pitch black on the Pontchartrain. Noah built the ark before the rain...

Fireflies pass their torch. Waters take the levee. End of days on our back porch for Maris, me and the sea.

Turn your gaze from the beach, old Medusa is on the rise. Don’t watch the day go out of reach, Darling, dry your eyes... Dead hot on the Delta plain. Noah built the Ark before the rain...

Fireflies pass their torch. Waters take the levee. End of days on our back porch for Maris, me and the sea.

Driving down the distance coming 'round to feed. Voodoo wind out of Port Au Prince, dance me lover, this hour of need…

Fireflies pass their torch. Waters take the levee. End of days on our back porch for Maris, me and the sea.

BRAVE WOMAN, BRAVE MAN

Brave boy, brave girl lend me your ear. Let flag unfurl and you shall hear. An American story sworn to defend. The snap of Old Glory on that liberty wind.

Brave woman, Brave man. There's an end to this, there is an end. Brave woman, Brave man - Ooh Rah!

Brave boy, brave girl from first trainee. Up the chain of command keepin' us free. Bold on patrol at costs so dear. You're a sight to see read me loud and clear.

Brave woman, Brave man. There's an end to this, there is an end. Brave woman, Brave man - Ooh Rah!

Brothers and sisters, comrades in arms. The proud and the few doin' it for you...

Brave woman, Brave man. There's an end to this, there is an end.

Brave woman, Brave man. There's an end to this, there is an end.

Brave woman, Brave man. Brave woman, Brave man. Brave woman, Brave man.

THE BETTER MUSIC

Beatrice dreams a gentle man comes for her like movies do. Sleeps it off best she can desperate to grab a few.

Nightingale, to tell the truth, she never sang the better music. Badly winged, this bird of youth, she never sang the better music.

Beatrice got the blacks and blues. On night shift until dawn. Stays voiceless through the evening news. They say the battle lines were drawn.

Paid the piper two long years, she never sang the better music. He called the tune, the man upstairs, she never sang the better music.

From wedding day, in full swing. The unheard cry, the unseen thing...

Beatrice caught him full of booze, saw an end to her nightmare. Made her husband dead man shoes. Shoved him down a flight of stairs.

Hell-bent on heaven bound, she never sang the better music. Eye-for-eye without a sound, she never sang the better music.

But she’s singin’ now – sound and fury. She singin’ now the better music. Singin’ now – sound and fury. she singin’ now the better music.

THIN ICE

Why do you stay, caring more to go. Smiling not to fight. Living day-to-day. Why do you stay, girl. More apart than you show. Taking to flight to get out of my way.

Think twice about staying strong. Thin ice, and you need to fall through. Think twice, girl, about holding on. Thin ice between you and the dream of someone new.

Why toss me a line embracing your new belief. Pretending you're here and perfectly fine. Why toss me a line, girl knowing time is a thief. Your making it clear you're no longer mine.

Think twice about staying strong. Thin ice, and you need to fall through - you know it’s true. Think twice, girl, about holding on. Thin ice between you and the dream of someone new.

No need to fight what you simply can't control. You see, my dear, I let you go... I release you, love.

Think twice about staying strong. Thin ice, you need to fall through – yeah, you know you do. Think twice, girl, about holding on. Thin ice between you and the dream of someone new.

Thin ice between you and the dream of, Oh, Darlin’… Someone new -- It’s only thin ice. Thin ice, girl – and I let you go... go...
