I Am Walking Here 03:46

Riding in the main stream I am walking here Racing past in the critical mass I am walking here You are a blur in your head moving too fast to see clear I am a turtle going slow Giving my mind time to steer Staying Techno Advanced I am walking here Keeping pace on a super highway I am walking here You are an automation running on adrenaline Collecting endless information and spewing it back out again I'm watching the mainstream Where's it going in such a rush I am walking here Watching the mainstream Where's it going so fast I am walking I am walking here Keeping up with Bill Gates I am walking here Living life on the internet I am walking here You are plugged in to the scene hypnotized by a virtual dream Who's awake and who's asleep You never look up from the screen I'm watching the mainstream Where's it going in such a rush I am walking here watching the mainstream where's it going so fast I am walking I am walking here Watching the mainstream Where's it going in such a rush I am walking here Watching the mainstream Where's it going so fast I am walking I am walking I am walking here

You used to love me Like I was the cats meow You gave me your attention You took me out on the town That's yesterday's news The rose has lost it's bloom The thrill is gone, we're through and I'm falling into blues I'm falling into blues Falling into blues Nothing to hang on to I'm falling into blues You used to treat me Like I was a treasure you found You paid me complements You wanted me around That was another life Those happy days are gone Something has died it's true and I'm falling into blues I'm falling into blues Falling into blues Nothing to hang on to I'm falling into blues I'm falling into blues Falling into blues Nothing to hang on to I'm falling into blues Nothing to hang on to I'm falling into blues

The Spell 05:19
lyrics
buy track
Opening Doors And flying through windows I left your glass slippers on the stairs It was nearing midnight And the spirits were restless Swirling winds and skittling leaves Wasn't that your shadow Resting on the mantle Just before the exit scene Rituals and incantations I wrote a love potion on the wall The spell was wearing off But nothing was the same Revising views and changing dreams Did you leave your footprints Running through the garden Hoping I would see And follow I want to touch you for a moment Transform this situation I see you in my prayers And in my meditations Looking glass, Genie in the lamp I dealt a good hand on the floor Dawn lifting her curtain Dust settling on the sill Imagined illusions Wasn't that your perfume Rising from my pillow Influencing my dreams I want to touch you for a moment Transform this situation I see you in my prayers And in my meditations I want to touch you for a moment Transform this situation I see you in my prayers And in my meditations

I Wish I Knew 03:42

I used to be so easily seduced I was a hapless victim of my youth As I grow older and I come to know the truth Regret those years I wasted crying over you I wish I knew I wish I knew I wish I knew Yeah I wish I knew If wishes were horses we would ride My father would often say to me I was wishing for so much all the time Would my wishes ever come to be I wish I knew I wish I knew I wish I knew Yeah I wish I knew What I know now Is how little I know All of those tears Where did they go I wish I knew I wish I knew I wish I knew Yeah I'll probably be wishing until the day I die But as I sit here wishing I am wondering if I Knew would I do things differently I wish I knew I wish I knew I wish I knew Yeah I wish I knew I wish I knew I wish I knew I wish I knew Yeah What I know now Is how little I know All of those dreams Where did they go I wish I knew I wish I knew I wish I knew Yeah I wish I knew I wish I knew I wish I knew I wish I knew Yeah

You were always two steps ahead of the law Now You're one step behind your fate And when you meet up on that judgement day It will be too late Too late to beg for mercy No pardon will set you free No one believes a thing you say You are the naked king You thought you were above it all Now all your crimes have come to call Karma knocking at your door Haunting you before the fall It's too late to beg for mercy No pardon will set you free No one believes your lies You are the naked king All hail the naked king It will be shouted from the rooftops And seen on every tv Read about it the papers People talking in the street It's on your social media In every news feed All your darkest sins exposed For all the world to see You are the naked king All hail the naked king It will be shouted from the rooftops And seen on every tv Read about it the papers People talking in the street It's on your social media In every news feed All your darkest sins exposed For all the world to see You are the naked king All hail the naked king It's too late to beg for mercy No pardon will set you free Everybody knows the truth You are the naked king All hail the naked king It's too late to beg for mercy No pardon will set you free No one believes your lies You are the naked king All hail the naked king You are the naked king

You know it's a sham and he's a film flam man But you want to play so you buy in to his game You know it ain't right but you do it anyway Cause you just can't wait to see it all go up in flames Flim flam man Flim flam man Flim flam man He feeds the hate burning up your brain You can't escape it makes you insane You got to find somebody to blame Blow it all up when things don't go your way It's all fake Everybody knows It's too late To stop it now Flim Flam Man He's in your face Hypnotized You can't look away Flim Flam, Flim Flam, Flim Flam Man Flim Flam Man Flim Flam Man He robs you blind Steals your money and your mind Taps into your greed It's a pyramid scheme Ain't it a shame When you lose everything You just can't win Watching it all Go down the drain It's all fake Everybody knows It's too late To stop it now Flim Flam Man He's in your face Hypnotized You can't look away Flim Flam, Flim Flam, Flim Flam Man Flim Flam Man Flim Flam Man Flim Flam, Flim Flam, Flim Flam Man Flim Flam Man Flim Flam Man

It Was Good 03:20

Old man sitting at the top of the stairs Shaking his head and pulling his hair Wondering how things got to be so weird He thinks and he thinks but he just can't guess He thinks and he thinks but he just can't guess They were always together two peas in a pod Making their plans on top of the world Now it's like it never happened, what went wrong He looks and he looks but he just can't see He looks and he looks but he just can't see Let me take you back To a sweeter time Take you back Refresh your mind It was good It was good It was so good It was good It was good It was so good Old man knocking on a broken door Shaking his fist and cursing it all Never should have let it go this far He tries and he tries but he can't break through He tries and he tries but he can't break through Let me take you back To a sweeter time Take you back Refresh your mind It was good It was good It was so good It was good It was good It was so good Let me take you back To a sweeter time Take you back Refresh your mind It was good It was good It was so good It was good It was good It was so good

Songs Come and go like butterflies I keep a net Standing by But I'm never quite sure If what I've seen and what I've heard Is real Days Come and go, how time flies I keep my hopes Aimed up high But I cannot tell If this is heaven or this is Hell I'm In I told you that I loved you From the very start I told you I loved you And I gave you my heart I'm not sure That was so smart But it's too late to change my plea I must admit I'm guilty You Come and go, you do as you please Every time You take a piece of me But one thing I've learned well I'll keep my secrets to myself From now on I told you that I loved you From the very start I told you I loved you And I gave you my heart I'm not sure That was so smart But it's too late to change my plea I must admit I'm guilty I told you that I loved you From the very start I told you I loved you And I gave you my heart I'm not sure That was so smart But it's too late to change my plea I must admit I'm guilty I told you that I loved you I told you that I loved you I told you that I loved you It's too late Oh Oh Oh Oh

Fancy Fanny was the best ship's dolly Of all the broads that ever flew in space Everybody said that she was Jim Dandy Cause she had a certain elegance She was adored by all the crew As she wandered through the ship looking for a lonely man She'd sidle up to him And this is what she'd say Hey there you good looking space hound you Why are you looking so glum Do you want some company I can show you a real good time Oh come on now, life's better than you think So let's go find us a real cozy nook And send your troubles to the moon Fancy Fanny has become gray and fat She's retired from space, but she's still got it She is the best old floozy that's for sure When she dyes her hair and she gets dolled up She wanders through ol' Luna Port Looking for a lonely man She sidles up to him And this is what she says Hey there you good looking space hound you Why are you looking so down Do you want someone to talk to I am very available Oh come on now, life's better than you think So let's go find us a real cozy nook And you can tell Fanny all your woes Hey there you good looking space hound you Why are you looking so glum Do you want some company I can show you a real good time Oh come on now, life's better than you think So let's go find us a real cozy nook And send your troubles to the moon To the moon To the moon To the moon Augh! Buckle up now, Here we go!

It's dinner time in Texas In Spain their having breakfast By the time that you get this Message I'll be so long gone Off into the sunset Adios, farewell No looking back No regrets I'm moving on It's autumn Down Under In Michigan it's summer You don't have to wonder Where I am I'm so long gone I'm so long gone I'm history So long gone I'm just a memory I'm so long gone Are you missing me I'm so long gone It's so hot in Mexico Indiana cold and snow I'm sure by now you know that I'm so long gone I'm so long gone I'm history So long gone I'm just a memory I'm so long gone Are you missing me I'm so long gone The world is waiting outside my door Keep the motor running I won't be coming round here any more I'm so long gone I'm history So long gone I'm just a memory I'm so long gone Are you missing me I'm so long gone I'm so long gone I'm so long gone
