Every time I see you, you're on to something new
You are always running, you got so much to do
Whenever we're together, you be checkin on your phone
You never stick around, you got somewhere else to go
But I I I want you to stay
I want you to stay
Yeah I I I want you to stay
I want you to stay
I know you got your plans, and you are on your way
Always in a hurry, always running late
And if we have a moment, I know it won't be long
Before you're out the door, going, going, gone
But I I I want you to stay
I want you to stay
Yeah I I I want you to stay
I want you to stay
And I know you don't feel this way
and you don't wan't no ball and chain
but I I I
I want you to stay
Yeah I I I
I want you to stay
Why don't you slow down and let yourself breathe
Stop and smell the roses and spend some time with me
you're always chasing something, never satisfied
I know you got to go now and baby it's your life
But I I I
I want you to stay
Yeah I I I
want you to stay
And I know you don't feel this way
and you don't wan't no ball and chain
but I I I
I want you to stay
Yeah I I I
I want you to stay
I I I
I want you to stay
I want you to stay

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

Falling Into Blues
02:55
|
|||
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
|
|||
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

The Naked King
04:11
|
|||
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

Flim Flam Man
04:09
|
|||
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

Guilty

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
06:50
|

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!

Passing by San Quentin on a southbound bus
On to San Francisco there's old Alcatraz
Rolling into Folsom singing Johnny Cash
No more ball and chain, I'm a free woman
yeah yeah yeah yeah
I got my ticket out, new suit, new shoes
I got my walking papers and that's the hard truth
My baby's gone and free'd me, doesn't need me anymore
He said my time was up, I best be moving on
Passing by San Quentin on a southbound bus
On to San Francisco there's old Alcatraz
Rolling into Folsom singing Johnny Cash
No more ball and chain, I'm a free woman
yeah yeah yeah yeah
Buzzards flying overhead, the sky is blue
Free woman whistling a jail house tune
My man he turned me loose, someone else has got my cell
It's all behind me now, I'll just keep moving on
Passing by San Quentin on a southbound bus
On to San Francisco there's old Alcatraz
Rolling into Folsom singing Johnny Cash
No more ball and chain, I'm a free woman
yeah yeah yeah yeah
No more ball and chain, I'm a free woman
yeah yeah yeah yeah
yeah yeah yeah

You say you're leaving
I'm not surprised
You've had that restless
Look in your eyes
I know you love me
At least you tried
but it's clear
You're not happy hear
I see those windmills
Turning in your mind
Go out and chase them
And see what you can find
I don't want you here
wishing you were someplace else
Go on, No go
Go find yourself
And don't look back
Don't ever stop
Once you walk our that door

Keep on going

I can't be happy here
If you are miserable
Go on get out
Go on now go
And don't look back
Don't ever stop
Once you walk our that door

Keep on going
Keep on going
Keep on going

So Long Gone
04:35
|
|||
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
