Been living outside myself all my life
Gotta go out gotta go out or die
Stay connected stay in tune
What a farce what a fool
Walking the corridors of my mind
Is it dark or am I just blind
Wondering how to finally break free
Won’t you come and walk with me
Staying home on a Saturday night
Locking the doors closing the blinds
Activating my invisible shield
Diving into what feels real
Done with waiting for the right time
Stepping in crossing the line
Done with this empty masquerade
Walking away from the motorcade
Floating in a sea of green
Welcome to welcome to me
Spacial mind spacial heart
Shine a light light a spark
Staying home on a Saturday night
Locking the doors closing the blinds
Activating my invisible shield
Diving into what feels real
Been living outside myself all my life
Time to go back inside
Staying home on a Saturday night
Locking the doors closing the blinds
Activating my invisible shield
Diving into what.... feels.... real

Birds and Bees

The birds and the bees have been talking to me
I’m listening to what they’re sayin’
The sun and the moon met up at noon
Conspiring to light my way
It’s high time I clear the cobwebs from my mind
Start a fresh and brand new day
It’s alright to not solve every little crime
I imagine I commit against myself
Why not say the egg came first today
And move on to something else
I’m taking it in stride trying not to slide
The finish line before the race
Stand up shout out Yeah yeah get it out
all for one for all someday
shake it up up and away
From the cradle to the grave
No hoarding no crusades
Live for life for love today
Take a breath we’re on our way.....
My hands are on the wheel it’s starting to feel
I’m driving at my own pace
I’ll take the road i want thank you very much
I don’t need your antiquated advice
Oh come on sing my song
You know you want to dance
Move along it’s a marathon
No harm in taking a chance
Break new ground stop looking around for
Permission from someone else
the birds and the bees have been singing to me
I’m loving how they make me feel
The stars are in line most of the time
I’m finding my own way
Finding my own way... find your own way

Lanky Bell Bottoms

Lanky bell bottoms
Boot soles flashing
Running the treadmill skies
Keep on goin’ Never stop movin‘
Cause motion never dies
Keep on breathin’
Even if you’re screamin’
It softens the goodbye
Keep on dancin’
Cause that’s what’s happenin’
When you feel most alive
don‘t stop movin’ Just keep movin’
I can‘t hold my breath anymore
I’m tired of crawlin’ on the floor
It might be six of one
half a dozen not sure
It’s time to high tail it
out the door I’m out!
The clock is tickin’
but don’t you listen
Cause moments never end
Dive in head first
into the darkness
rip off the disguise
find the stairway
make your own way
‘cause no one gets out alive
stop the panic
it’s a cheap trick
to keep you locked in...
your mind
get out of your mind...
lose your mind
keep on goin’ don’t stop movin’
keep on breathin‘ don’t stop movin‘
Keep on dancin’
‘Cause that’s what’s happenin’
When you feel most alive

I won’t make it past 27 she said
With a guitar in her hand
and a song in her head
I won’t make it past 36 she said
With a baby in her arms
and a song in her head
I won’t make it past 45 she said
With a glass of wine in her hand
and a song in her head
I won’t make it past 54 she said
With a divorce on her hands
and a song in her head
She won’t make it past 63 they said
With that much anger in her she’s seeing red
What is the point of this story you may ask
it’s when you find your song you’d better act fast
Life is short you know so why not sing
So loud you bring light where it was dim
Sing out loud Sing out loud...
Our time together is short so why not sing
So loud you bring light where it was dim
Sing out loud Live out loud Love out loud
Love love love love love love love... looove
Sing ...out....loud....
We’ve all got a song in our hearts and our heads
Better get it out before you’re dead

Monsters
04:48

Walked off the plank of the mothership
Down to the depths of metropolis
Swam around ‘till I was dry
Walked the carousel of the
Sky bleeding blue and grey
Welcome to our darkest day
Carry the torch on the interstate
Burn the bridges close the gates
They’re coming, they’re running
With empty heads and empty hearts
They’re needing, they’re feeding
On everything in their path
Oh the monsters of the world
Their hunger’s never quelled
They revel in their greed
Honorin’ only their own... needs
The sun set on a field of gold
The horseman turned it all to coal
The mother held her baby close
The horseman turned it all in
Reverse into the darkness
Knowledge and truth behind us
What do we have before us
But blistered feet and shattered seams
Oh the monsters of the world
Their hunger’s never quelled
They revel in their greed
Honorin’ only their own
broken record... It’s broken
The seed cracked open & the rain
came down
multiplied for everyone
Thunder struck and the
wolves appeared
The sun burst through and
the moon disappeared
into the darkness
Turning all to black and white
Robbing us of kindness
Forcing all to fight
They’re coming they’re running
With burning heads and angry hearts
They’re needing they’re feeding
On everything in their path
Oh they disguise themselves as shepherds
Then lie and cheat and steal
It’s for us to break the cycle...
Break the... silence

Monkey See Monkey Do
Only kills the you in you
Step out of your comfort zone
You’ll see you’re not alone to say
Hooray Beret
When your ugly’s all outside
Step back and realize
Might have had a hand
In the bigger evil plan turn away
Hooray Beret
It’s not easy goin’ it alone
When you’ve carved out
your own road
Every step you take you’ll see
You’re closer to being free
Ended up where I started from
Rollercoaster overdone
Paid too much to get inside
to only want to run away
wrong turns come
and wrong turns go
Not too late time to sow
The seed may grow to your surprise
To revolutionize your everyday
Hooray Beret
Monkey See Monkey Do
Only kills the you in you
Step out of your comfort zone
You’ll see you’re not alone to say
Hooray Beret

L’ail et le persil
les amoureux de la
gastronomie
Ma mere m’a toujours dit
toute est meilleure
avec de l’ail et du persil
Oo la la.....inséparable
Oo la la.....formidable
Le plat du jour avec toi
c’est toujours l’amour
Menu variée, inspiré, bien relevé
Mais parfois ça picote ca mijote
A la fin on s’en fou
pourvue que ça chauffe
Oo la la toi et moi, toi et moi
Oo la la ça sera toujours comme ça
C’est vrai que ca me gêne
a quelle point je t’aime
Comme l’eau qui m’emmène j’ai cédé
au courant....de ...la...joie
Que ça soit le jour ou la nuit
ça nous est égale
Au diable les soucis ensemble on se regale
Oo la la toi et moi, amant, amis
Oo la la pour la vie
Oo la la toi et moi, toi et moi
oo la la C’est comme ca, c’est comme ca
Oo la la toi et moi, toi et moi
Oo la la ca sera toujours comme ça

Je t’aime Paris je t’aime Paris,
Paris I love you I love you Paris
Let’s go to the Eiffel Tower
Step by step higher and higher
At the top to the spire
Jules verne in the sky
Round and round tippy toe
Don’t you dare let me go
Up so high make a cry
To the city below
Je t’aime paris Je t’aime paris,
Je t’aime Paris Paris Je t’aime
Paris i love you Paris i love you,
Paris i love you I love you paris
Let’s go up to sacré cœur
Step by step to the pearl
Not to pray Cabaret
And we dance HEY!
Wine for you wine for me
Dance ‘till dawn vagabonds
You and me meant to be
In the city of lights
Je t’aime paris je t’aime paris
paris i love you i love you paris
And when i’m old and grey
Take me back for at least one more day
Walk along les Champs Elysées
Saint Michel saint germain le marais
Let’s not wait ‘till it’s too late
Pack our bags take a chance
it’s ok, we’ll find a way
to the city i love
Down to the river seine
Cobblestone bridges bend
Bread and cheese is all we need
In the city of love
Je t’aime paris Je t’aime paris
Je t’aime Paris Paris Je t’aime
Paris i love you Paris i love you
Paris i love you I love you paris

Eleanor lived alone
It’s a story that’s well known
It’s sad and maybe true
I wouldn’t wish it on you
She used to wish the hours away
Wondering when she’d have her day
All the while time didn’t stand still
This is not a drill
Lucy took to space
To escape the world and rat race
Celestial fields of rainbow colors
Carried her over to a life full of flowers
She used to wish the hours away
Wondering when she’d have her day
All the while time didn’t stand still
This is not a drill
Think think think
don’t blink blink blink
Op it’s gone again
Another day another year
Closer to the end
Closer to the end
Ready set go
don’t hold your breath
Life won’t be slow
Come on here we go
(don’t you know)
it like a fastball in the sky
Michelle from France loved to dance
The bell of the ball she was adored by all

Wanna Know You

It’s midnight
on the corner of
where how and when
Street light
spot light
flashlight pen
Shadows lurk
closer
than before
A clap of thunder
it begins to pour
Oh I wanna know you
You’re so mysterious
Can’t figure you out
Oh I want ya to show me
That I can trust you,
Don’t shut me out
Crash bang
crash bang
what’s that noise?
Just my past
trying to destroy
Raindrops frozen
in the air
The wardrobe beckons
but beware beware
Oh I wanna know you
You’re so mysterious
Can’t figure you out
Oh i want ya to show me
That I can trust you
Don’t shut me out
Feeling like a private eye
on a case
I spent my whole life
searching your face
Every line
a possible road
Where they go
I don’t know
Oh I wanna know you
You’re so mysterious
Can’t figure you out
Oh I want you to know me
Am I so mysterious
Can’t you figure me out
Oh I want you to know me
Am I so mysterious
Can’t you figure me out
Oh I want to show you
That I trust you
Won’t shut you out
