THIS IS NOT (Rocket Science, etc.) -
I've seen 'em come, I've seen 'em go, they were so bright where did they all go.
They had the answers, they had the plans, but that wasn't enough their plans were castles made of sand.
This Is Not rocket science. This Is Not rules compliance. This Is Not all fun and games and Mom and apple pie.
Don't even hope, when nothings left, when it's all over then here comes the real test.
Half-way to Heaven, half-way to Hell, one way or the other you never really can tell.
Fall out of love, and then you fall in, can't say when it comes but give it a spin again.
Start it all over, pull up your boots, dust off your hat and get back to your roots.

AIN'T DREAMIN' -
Can you really feel what you want to do and be,
or is it a dream that you alone can see, when you
grab at anything you might touch do you find you just touch too much
is it a fantasy well it's talking to you, talking to me
dream dream dream dreams ain't just for dreamin' dream dream dream I Ain't just Dreamin' no.
I heard of a dream a dream that we could share
the apples on a tree shined red in crystal air
dreams got things to show you, go ahead and dream what you please
I let my dreams lift me, I want those still out of my reach.
Sure, I'm living a dream right now, I've lived it one more day thru
looking for satisfaction looking for me and you
I know what I'm after and after that I'm after more
'cause we've got more to be eaten when we eat what we've got to the core.

HEAD & HEART -
The days go one by one away, the road has yet to end
there lay no reason in my soul, to come and go was fine
My Head sees things two ways, my Heart sees its own
My Head makes its own space, my Heart is on the stone.
Live by a code and see it thru, unspoken words that say
dreams that come true don't satisfy, it's all in the chase
I fell so hard for her in love, now I know what love is
and memories can rest in peace, I can sleep at night

WHAT A WORLD -
I hold your hand in mine, you'll be gone tomorrow, when will I see you
when will I see you, nothing's wrong it's just the tide, reason collides with emotion
Reason collides with emotion, daytime remains dark and still, what matter in the end
what matter in the end, beginning a clean slate, bring the curtain down
What A World that keeps on turning, a mix of joy and pain, hot and cold the wind keep blowing, at your back then in your face again
I hold your hand in mine
Bring the curtain down, have another round of drink, dance until you don't remember
dance until you don't remember, what yesterday lay in store, turn the world over and over
When will I see you What a world.

MOTHER'S CHILD -
Most won't make the change happy with the status quo
most will stay the same and say it just ain't so
well we've got no time for waste it's long past '84
we've got to change our ways before they bar the door.
A brave new world -
I'm seeing red with green eyes and I'm feeling black
I'm blue from all of the white lies that misconstrue the facts
we've got big brothers man with rope under his coat
they've got their one world plan they're going for the throat.
We was your very ordinary Mother's Child we was your very ordinary juvenile now we're the extraordinary in a world gone wild that's right
I think we've got it backwards we've been dead since our birth
from what I see and hear the bad is getting worse
what is this talk of living most barely exist
all for one and one for all has always been a myth, look out.
don't worry - be happy - no problem - trust 'em - feel good

TWO HEARTS FLY -
Said their goodbyes, there'll be no more trying, Two more Hearts Fly their own way
And so it goes, there'll be no more roses, and two more souls go their own way

THAT'S LIFE(at Ground Zero) -
You spend all day explaining how the status quo needs rearranging
but the big wheels ain't too keen on changing, there's big bucks in the war they're waging
Here today gone tomorrow That's Life at ground zero.
The whole world's in deep water and nothin's like it ought to be
all you sons and daughters you must be liking what you see
You say you're looking to be free, well I let free come look for me
and free followed me from sea to sea, saying,
when you're dead then you'll be free real free.

All I Need

ALL I NEED -
What's come has gone with just a trace familiar is now out of place
too little time in too much space but just in time for another race
All I Need is to look in your eyes and my cold heart melts away
All I Need is one look in your eyes and it all makes sense to me.
Steal you blind if caught at ease and good men sink down to their knees and women pray for just relief, play in school learn on the street
More and more lip service crock and truth is hidden under rock
and right is wrong and go is stop, living now with future shock.

MAKING YOU -
Could be I've been messing round, maybe I'm going round and round
could be I'm too serious, maybe I'm delirious
But I've been towing the line I've been taking the time I've been Making You Making You all mine
Could be you're my cause celebre, maybe I'm out on a ledge
could be you're a cause I've lost, maybe I don't count the cost
Could be you're my pride and joy maybe still my favorite toy could be you make my heart sing maybe you're my everything.

THE THRILL IS -
Oh yeah Oh boy All right
Been down long winding roads and missed a curve or two
what does your future hold can you read the clues
turn over every stone what you got to lose
The Thrill Is what the magic unveils The Thrill is the devil in the details
Calm seas storm tossed still sailing free
found fame star crossed still worth the dream
high hopes all lost all ain't what it seems
Look for love high and low all 'round the world
go for the mother load fool's gold and pearls
drink deep and feed your soul with your flag unfurled

HIGHWAY 395 -
Highway (mountains and high plains) 395 -
time to (and deserts call your name) take a ride
Mountains to the sky, candy for my eyes, on the road I fly, I'm free
High plains empty sound, far off a small town, stars reach to the ground, at night
time loses its grip into my mind I slip away slip away
A desert dawn refrain, it rolls like a train, and now the sun reigns
