In Your Eyes
Hold my hand steal my heart, find a way for us to start
On your face is a smile you disguise, we’ve been through this before
Push my way out the door, cause I can’t stand that look in your eyes
The silence on my phone, tells me you are not alone,
it’s time that I find my way
No more words no more lies, nothing left to criticize
Cause I can’t stand the look in your eyes
Words you spoke soft and sweet at the start, but you changed let my world fall apart
Yet I tried all in vain, cold and bare like the rain
Just a man full of pain nothing more
Baby tell me the truth
Was it me, was it him, was it you
Stars collide but find their way
Where they land It’s hard to say
Now I go on this ride without you by my side, maybe time will be my new friend
Hit the road if I choose, more I stay more I lose
Cause I can’t stand the look in your eyes
No no no...
No I can’t stand the look in your eyes

Lilly
In the early hours, before the clock strikes 5
The light comes on down the hallway and I know she is alive
I hear the shuffle of her slippers on the floor
I just can’t wait to see her, when she walks through the door
She rubs her tired eyes and stops to say hello
She’s really scarry, with her curlers to and fro
She’s off to work now, and I don’t know what I’ll do
Another day-- and I don’t know if I can make it through
When I’m alone, she seems so far away
When I’m alone, every day....
Over on the fridge, there’s a bug that I adore
All day long he crawls from the door down to the floor
If he was bigger, I would surely say hello
But he’s just a bug- and that’s all he’ll ever know
When she comes home, she’ll open my door up wide
When she comes home-- then I’ll fly
When she comes home, everything’s gonna be OK
When she comes home, when she comes home
Every time that Lilly leaves I feel so down and out
Will she return, before the moon comes out
Did I hurt your feelings, or forget to say goodbye
Is this just punishment for telling you a lie?
Oh I hate it, when her boyfriend’s in the house
He always smells like beer, and talks-- so loud
Sometimes they get close, and they begin to dance
Oh I know I’d beat him up, if I -- ever had the chance
When she comes home, she’ll open my door up wide
When she comes home-- then I’ll fly
When she comes home, everything’s gonna be OK
When she comes home, when she comes home
When she comes home, when she comes home
When she comes home, when she comes home
When she comes home, when she comes home
When she comes home, when she comes home

Escapeway
Look in your past, decide your future
Until the everlast, no sense of humor
Blind to the obvious, what can you see
It’s right in front of you, so don’t look at me
Question everything, in what is known
It’s driving blindy, no stepping stone
Cause I......
Want you to turn my way....
Bright light, step in the dark
Trying to inspire, not knowing how to start
In this case, you missed your cue
That’s all right, you never had a clue
Cause I...... Want you to turn my way....
Cause I...... Need an escapeway
Question everything, in what is known
It’s driving blindly, no stepping stone
Tell the truth, what’s the virtue
The answers wrong, discussed -- thereunto
Making moves --by tempting fate
Your inclusion, is making weight.....
Cause I...... Want you to turn my way....
Cause I...... Need an escapeway
We just need an escapeway
So let’s meet in a Safeway
Believe me it’s the best way
to find our escapeway
Cause I...... Want you to turn my way....
Cause I...... Need an escapeway
Cause I...... Want you to turn my way....
Cause I...... Need an escapeway

Fallin
BabyI’m fallin, so far from the top
Please catch me I’m fallin, no way I can stop
My glass house is full up with stone, bad love right or wrong
Cry like some foolish child, you-just-string me along
You got me comin’ and goin,
but baby please just let me go
I stumble & crumble, you stick around for the show
Strapped in cut my chin on the ride, but you won’t pay my fare
Now I’m crashing hard, can’t breathes, so high on thin air
Hear me I’m callin-- from out on this limb
shut my eyes and disguise, what I’ve done, Who I’ve been...
Hear me I’m callin-- from out on this limb
shut my eyes and disguise,
what I’ve done, Who I’ve been...

Better Times
I was only 19, old boots on my feet
A rainy summer Sunday, I met you on the street
Your hair flowed like honey, your lips like summer wine
You wrapped me in your love, those were better times
I grew up way too quickly, had a jealous heart
All the boys they loved you, no way for us to start
Smelled like sweet spring flowers, blue eyes were sublime
I tried not to cage you, how could I be so blind
Broken words and broken dreams, crazy human schemes
Fragile hearts are not a crime,
Looking through the looking glass, gazing to the past
Fading pictures in my mind, back when you were mine,
going back to better times
Drove that old gold Chevy, down to Monterey
Left you by the roadside, cause I had to get away
California Dreamin, was a nightmare in my mind
Sorry that you loved me, love is so unkind
Broken words and broken dreams, crazy human schemes
Fragile hearts are not a crime,
Looking through the looking glass, gazing to the past
Fading pictures in my mind, back when you were mine,
going back to better times

Redeemer
All of us have to go sometime, but some of us have to go now
I’m sitting here in the sunshine, somebody’s going to go down
Hanging around in the future, doing your best in the past
Finding you were enlightened, turning your sand into glass
Only a dreamer, sees what a hell it is
No one believed her -- she wasn’t the kind
All you believers-- stay on the safer side
She’s a redeemer in her younger time
Trying to give you the real thing, Nobody cares where you are
Only the light of the morning, Rushes along with your car
You don't know what it takes to break free
No time to think it over
You stood in line to be redeemed
looking over your shoulder
Sensing the season is changing
Knowing that you might be too
Remember the rule to the reason
Change is what you choose to do
Everything’s gonna be fine...

Fair Fight
Whose side are you on, whose corner are you in
Fightin’s hard well that’s -- nothing new
Every round, I take with you, feels like two
I’m climbing out of this ring, holding on for dear life
the more I give, the more I’m burned
I give it out -- that was my mistake, thought I’d learned
How many times can I crawl back to you
lie to myself cause I can’t stand up
Knock me down, that’s one for you
You always have it your way,
And I can never say no
A thousand times --but I just forget
This crazy heart’s not broken yet, no regrets
How big a punch should I take,
It only counts if I bleed
I throw one back, but I’m goin down
It’s like you win when I--
hit the ground, take your crown
Take your corner and I’ll take mine
Lose the gloves ring the bell, it’s time
In the morning-- I’m still not right
Cold in bed-- all through- the night
No fair fight, no fair fight, no fair fight, no fair fight

Secret Agent Girl
She’s on the strangest wavelength
Hands on the wheel of the life she drives
She’s not a secret agent
No one detects her deception
There’s gonna be hell to pay
No more blue skies
Wonder why you get so jaded
Somehow you manage to stay upright
We’re all amazed that you made it
It’s gotta be tough when you know that
There’s gonna be hell to pay
No more blue skies
it never turns out your way
I’ll tell you why, I’ll tell you why
She leads a life of danger
Another chance she takes
Better see that she’s a stranger
Every move she makes, every move she makes
She can't escape our detection
Naked alone without a disguise
A girl so lost no affection
Uncover the code and find no surprise
There’s gonna be hell to pay
No more blue skies
it never turns out your way
I’ll tell you why, I’ll tell you why

Trouble
Early in the morning when the sun comes up, he hangs out his sign
Day after day he lives on luck but he’s running out of time
He sits there, in his cardboard chair
oblivious to all they say
they come around, try to knock him down
but he gets up and walks away
He’s thinking I don’t look for trouble--
but trouble finds me...
Going to the church on Jackson St. to help in the line
Out the door and down the street its almost closing time
These kids seem hungrier every day
but that don’t seem to worry them
A boy with a gun cradled in his hand,
soon he’ll be doing time
He’s thinking I don’t look for trouble-- but trouble finds me
She’s smart young and beautiful
Who could ask for more
Grabs her phone and keys heading out that door
She goes to the club to see some friends from school
But there’s no telling what she’ll find
The boys at the bar going way too far
I guess she’s got to throw out all her rules
She’s singing I don’t look for trouble (I don’t look for..)
I don’t look for trouble (I don’t look for..)
I don’t look for trouble-- But trouble finds me.

You Won’t
You won't...
You won’t be hungry when he puts it on your plate
You won’t be happy when he’s making you go straight
Idly wandering, home from the park at night
Haven’t you even a clue
Casually conquering everything in your site
Now that you know what to do
You might look silly if you didn’t look insane
You said so simply what was so hard to explain
Idly wandering, home from the park at night
Haven’t you even a clue
Casually conquering everything in your site
Now that you know who to do
You won’t...
