Lyrics:
Lost in Hell’s kitchen
Can’t find my way out
I’m lost in Hell’s kitchen
Can’t find my way out
Got no love to guide me
Through these streets of doubt

Need to push harder
To get past Battle Row
Need to push harder
To get past Battle Row
There must be somebody
To cool the fire down below

The heat is in my veins
From my head down to my feet
I’m movin’ through the shadows
On 47th Street
I’m lost in Hell’s kitchen
I can’t find my way out
Got no love to guide me
Through these streets of doubt

Can’t fight a habit
With a rabbit foot or lucky charm
I can’t fight a habit
With a rabbit foot or lucky charm
Just want a midnight dancer
To hold me in her arms

Deep in the House of Blazes
The flames are burnin’ bright
I can’t afford to rest
Mornin’ noon or night 
I’m lost in Hell’s kitchen
I can’t find my way out
Got no love to guide me
Through these streets of doubt

Streets of doubt
Lost in Hell’s kitchen
Lost in Hell’s kitchen
Got no love to guide me
Lost in Hell’s kitchen
Can’t find my way out

(Lost In) Hell's Kitchen

In this quiet place
There’s only you and me
Forget the world outside
We’ll stay in here and hide
With you my mind runs free
Chasing every fantasy

Here in your arms 
Stealing time together
Love me all night long
Fill my days with pleasure
Let the clock unwind
As we’re stealing time together

I’ll find more hours for you
And share sweet dreams for two
The years will drift away
Living moments like today

Here in your arms 
Stealing time together
Love me all night long
Fill my days with pleasure
Let the clock unwind
As we’re stealing time together

Shadows move in the dark
Secret words whisper to my heart
Slowly I’ll reveal
The measure of just how deep I feel

Here in your arms
Stealing time together
Love me all night long
Fill my days with pleasure
Let the clock unwind
As we’re stealing time together

Every day and every night baby
Stealing time together

Stealing Time

STEALING TIME

Laying in a sauna the heat moves deeper
Sweeping through my body to the bones
So still and silent the way I want it
The only sounds I hear are crackling stones

If life could be this peaceful
We’d rest our arms a while
It's easy
Easy as a soothing spa
Relaxing makes us smile

Sitting in a whirlpool my mind wanders
Just like the bubbles spinning around
The jets are working massaging muscles
Water floats me back to solid ground

If life could be this peaceful
We’d rest our arms a while
It's easy
Easy as a soothing spa
Relaxing makes us smile

Stopping in the steam room I’m calm and tranquil
Problems of the world melt away
Patiently waiting it’s time for cleansing
Lucky how I spend my day

If life could be this peaceful
We’d rest our arms a while
It's easy
Easy as a soothing spa
Relaxing makes us smile

A healthy heart is what you need

This Peaceful (A Soothing Spa)

(Yes, this REALLY happened to me, and my Dad!)

I’m stuck out here on Alligator Alley; car broke down miles from home. I left L. A. moving to Miami; never been this all alone: I’m in the Twilight Zone.

It’s tough out here on Alligator Alley; the Everglades are hot as Hell. In deep man, this ain’t The Valley. Yeah, this time I’m S.O.L. without a soul to tell.

It’s one last stretch; I need a ride. I’ve got to get to the other side. On a lonesome highway no one drives, have to use my shoes. I got the broke down blues.

Sure rough out here on Alligator Alley. It’s known to be a killer road. Any ol’ mechanic would be handy. ‘Bout 50 miles or so to go; sun’s settin’ low.

It’s one last stretch; I need a ride. I’ve got to get to the other side. On a lonesome highway no one drives, have to use my shoes. I got the broke down blues.

Broke Down Blues (Alligator Alley)

(Inspired by the 2003 California Supermarket Strike)

He’s a hard working union man
Feeding a family of five
Paying dues and bills and Uncle Sam
Faithfully on time

Works a double shift when he can
‘Cause for him there’s no free ride
A believer in our promised land
Trying to keep his dream alive

So he’s standing on his feet carrying a sign
Take your business down the street
Don’t cross this line

There’s a flash of one union man
On the local TV news
Reporters say they understand
The price of fame he’ll choose

Well this strike may last a month or more
But the union man stays strong
He needs strength in numbers to be sure
All he’s worked for won’t be gone

So he’s standing on his feet carrying a sign
Take your business down the street
Don’t cross this line

Rising for justice in solidarity
The union man and me
We’re in good company

Standing on our feet carrying a sign
Take your business down the street
Don’t cross this line

Union Man

Lyrics:
Welcome to my holy grail
A road where success comes slow
Daring to take a different way
'Cause I’ve got big dreams that grow

I'll travel with faith in my direction
And pray for the Lord’s protection
The path ahead curves wide and long
And step-by-step I will be strong

In the home of the brave I’m born to be free
And all that I crave waits for me
I walk unafraid knowing life’s a mystery
In the home of the brave the world’s mine to see

Like my father making tracks
Adventure runs through my soul
I’ve climbed the mountains up and back
Paying many a heavy toll

Now today is for celebration
The journey’s my destination
I’ll stand proudly in my prime
Wear a smile and let love shine

In the home of the brave I’m born to be free
And all that I crave waits for me
I walk unafraid knowing life’s a mystery
In the home of the brave the world’s mine to see

Home of the Brave (Born to Be Free)

Home of the Brave (Born To Be Free)

This is the hour and we’ve got the power so let’s keep building electric cars.

Motors are racing; this dream’s worth chasing around the corner. The new superstars!

Electricity it’s almighty energy, electricity driving new technology, electricity charging up my battery.

Tesla and Aptera, green as aloe vera. Plug in any socket; You’ll take off like a rocket.

Down to the wire we can’t quit or tire. The road’s wide open to ride for miles.

Wheels are in motion ocean to ocean. Speed into the future moving along in style.

Electricity it’s almighty energy, electricity driving new technology, electricity charging up my battery.

Muscle you can measure. Maximize your pleasure. Pedal down and push it hard cruising on the boulevard.

Electric fever makes you a believer. Step right up and try it. Now don’t you start a riot!

Electricity it’s almighty energy, electricity driving new technology, electricity charging up my battery...

ELECTRICITY

Watch me fly!

There’s nothing gonna stop me or get in my way. It’s taken me a while to be where I am today.

No limitations that’s all in your mind. True dedication is by my own design.

Well the world is full of twists and turns but a heart beats strong for what it yearns.

I’m moving up the mountain; riding on a wave. There’s magic in the moment. It’s my victory to savor.

I’m soaring like an eagle; I’m reaching for the sky. A winner who will triumph. Are you gonna watch me fly?

I’m pushin' forward there’s no holding me down. Playing to win there’s no foolin' around.

Imagination to follow my dreams; real fascination to forget the extremes.

If somebody says it can’t be done I will laugh at them, living for number one.

I’m moving up the mountain; riding on a wave. There’s magic in the moment. It’s my victory to savor.

I’m soaring like an eagle. I’m reaching for the sky. A winner who will triumph. Are you gonna watch me fly?

Watch me fly!

Movin' Up the Mountain (Watch Me Fly)

MOVIN' UP THE MOUNTAIN (WATCH ME FLY)

Let’s get, let’s get, let’s get wired. Plug me in, plug you in higher than we’ve ever been!

I love to drive, you love to ride, so hop inside, a fast car.

Come on with me, in ecstasy, completely free, baby we’ll go far.

Huggin' the road, not going slow, or shoutin' WHOA, we’re blowin’ off steam.

Having a blast, we’ll drop the past, cruisin’ first class, baby livin’ the dream.

Let’s get, let’s get, let’s get wired. Plug me in, plug you in higher than we’ve ever been!

Racing around, layin’ it down, without a sound, so open wide.

A single touch, controls the rush, our faces are flush with electric vibes.

Lookin’ this sharp, gives us a spark, speedin’ till dark, there’s no turning back.

When we connect, the mood is set, all signs reflect, we’re keeping on track.

Let’s get, let’s get, let’s get wired. Plug me in, plug you in higher than we’ve ever been!

I could get lost, I could get lost looking at you. Everything, every little thing feels so smooth.

Oh yeah it’s time to, time to move.

Let’s get, let’s get, let’s get wired. Plug me in, plug you in higher than we’ve ever been!

Wired

WIRED

As we slide across a crowded floor
And your eyes look into mine
I don’t care what song they play
We move in perfect time

And when you take me in your arms
I know how love feels
Tender and strong, safe and warm
Falling head over heels

Once the music stops and we wind down
You’re the partner I’ll still choose
Standing by to guide each step
No one else could fill your shoes

‘Cause when you take me in your arms
I know how love feels
Tender and strong, safe and warm
Falling head over heels

You caught me by surprise
And swept me off my feet
Now every day I sure do realize
With you my life’s complete

And when you take me in your arms
I know how love feels
Tender and strong, safe and warm
Falling head over heels

And I’ll hold on my whole life long
Falling head over heels

Falling Head Over Heels

In a daze I dare to dream
Reaching out into the great unknown
I make a stand, begin to see
How to rise atop a crowning throne

Light shining down the world is looking on
It’s my time to smile and see how far I’ve gone
And I say

Let the good life, let the good life
Let the good life lead to so much more
Let the good life, let the good life
Let the good life take me through that door

Through the maze I walk alone
Making many friends along the way
Who’ll lift me up, help me be strong
Don’t know without them where I’d be today

So very proud from the pain I’ve overcome 
It’s a just reward to be glowing like the sun
So I say

Let the good life, let the good life
Let the good life lead to so much more
Let the good life, let the good life
Let the good life take me through that door

Cheers come from the crowd
Like a hero I have heard my call
The music’s playing loud
Lost in the moment I’ll be standing tall

Let the good life, let the good life
Let the good life lead to so much more
Let the good life, let the good life
Let the good life take me through that door

Let the Good Life (Lead to So Much More)

LET THE GOOD LIFE (TAKE ME THROUGH THAT DOOR)

In The City of Light we are walkin’
By the River Seine, our feet upon the shore
The streets are alive full of motion
We feel alone, I hold you close
Amazed at love once more

And anywhere you are
It’s a better day
I’ll go so far
For a better day
Like a shooting star
Send me on my way
I wanna hear you say
This is a better day

From the Champs-Elysees to our favorite Sacre Coeur
We’re two lucky souls, who'll make up for lost time
Eyes full of tears from joy and laughter
With you in view, I see so clear
A life that is sublime

And anywhere you are
It’s a better day
I’ll go so far
For a better day
Like a shooting star
Send me on my way
I want to hear you say
This is a better day

Na-na-na-na — Walkin’ through a labyrinth
The labyrinth of love
Na-na-na-na — Livin’ in a labyrinth
The labyrinth of love

Wish I could go back in time
When my faith in you was strong
Without a warning sign
You vanished simply gone
Yes my mind is in a fog
I can’t see beyond the haze
Suddenly left all alone
Now I’m lost in a twisted maze

Na-na-na-na — Walkin’ through a labyrinth
The labyrinth of love
Na-na-na-na — Livin’ in a labyrinth
The labyrinth of love

Wondering where I ought to turn
Who to trust or how to start
Guess I’ve got more to learn
Before I heal my heart
Secrets still spin around
And it’s time I made a choice
Need to find some solid ground
Being guided by one true voice

Na-na-na-na — Walkin’ through a labyrinth
The labyrinth of love
Na-na-na-na — Livin’ in a labyrinth
The labyrinth of love

I look down and stare
While my dream says goodbye
Lighter than air
How my feet want to fly
Life’s one big curve
Seems a puzzling path
I can’t lose my nerve
Now there’s no turning back

I gotta find my way
Through this labyrinth of love
Find the answers today
In this labyrinth of love

Na-na-na-na — Walkin’ through a labyrinth
The labyrinth of love
Na-na-na-na — Livin’ in a labyrinth
The labyrinth of love
