Ciudad Prohibida

Ya no hay mas nada que ver,
no tengo nada que hacer,
voy flotando con  la brisa.
Yo necesito saber
como me vas a   encender.

Angel del amanecer,
ven a buscarme otra vez
para sanar las heridas.
Para ponerme de pie
y atravesar la ciudad 
prohibida.

Veo tantas cruces de madera,
veo tantas almas con la misma sed.
Los bemoles en sus madrigueras,
tejen sus mentiras por la red.

No vivo para temer 
yo sirvo para crecer
lejos de tanta codicia.
lo que yo llevo en mi haber
son mis sueños en papel.

Musa del amanecer,
ven a ayudarme otra vez
para colmarnos de vida.
Para ponerme de pie     
y atravesar la ciudad 
prohibida.

Veo tantas cruces de madera,
veo tantas almas con la misma sed.
Los bemoles en sus madrigueras
traman sus mentiras por la red.

Pour a cup and wash me up
Take me to that place
Cleanse my soul and make me whole
Lord, Bathe me in your Grace
Dry your eyes and don’t despise
All the pain you hold inside
Life’s too short to break a Heart
Can’t believe it’s real
Say a prayer 
Let me know you care
And show me how you feel
Turn away from The Longing
That you feel within
Oooh, It’s just My Memory
Floating in the Wind
No time to feel alone
We’re all where we belong 
So let’s be strong and carry on
Soon we’ll be headed home
Turn away from The Longing
That you feel within
It’s just my Memory
Floating in the Wind
It’s just My Memory
Floating in the Wind
It’s just My Memory 
Floating in the Wind

ONLY HERE FOR THE RIDE

If Jazzy Jack had a coffee bar .... 

Smooth piano intro with a tint of blue leads into a smooth rhythm section with piano, Fender Rhodes, vocals and a string section. Adding a mellow synthesiser line and with percussion including drums, congas & tambourines.

Jazzy Jack's Go Easy Coffee Bar

Now rest your head and close your eyes
Sweet darling don’t you cry
I am right here by your side

leave the troubled world outside
In the morning
I know things will be alright

Maybe I’m too naïve but when I look at you I still believe
Together we’ll get through the night

I’ve seen you struggle with your fears
And I look beyond your tears
I have seen the way you try 

You took the chance to have it all 
And you were not afraid to fall
But were afraid that you would fly

Maybe I’m too naive but when I look at you I still believe
W e can reach the sky

Let’s Give it one more try
We’ll rise up to find new heights
Spread our wings and aim towards the sky
Hang on and we’ll take flight

You taught me how to start again  
What it means to be a friend
When I felt so all alone 

You showed me what it means to love
And how it feels to be loved
 A thing not everybody knows

If I could only be just half of what you see in me
I would know where I belong

Taking Flight

Another track from my EP "Short Songs For Tall People"
Lyrics:
You say your name is society and you think you’re sick?
Sit down, patient, and I’ll examine you!
Uh huh, just what I thought:
That complexion of yours--grey as a flophouse bed sheet.
Your breath--reeking of smog and sewer gas!
Headaches? What do you expect, with nothing but cash registers clanging inside your empty skull?

I'm a beatnik Daddy-O
I've got an electric bongo
I'm a beatnik Daddy-O
I howl, I scowl
I'm a beatnik Daddy-O

Of course your stomach hurts!
You’ve swallowed too many dreams, too many hopes, and turned them into one gigantic ulcer.
Look out—your hands are trembling—any minute now and you may drop a bomb!

I'm a beatnik Daddy-O
Steely Dan's a dildo
I'm a beatnik Daddy-O
I play pinball
I play Pachinko
I'm a beatnik Daddy-O

I’ve got news for you, society—you’re not sick, you’re dead!
Solid Baby!
I'm a beatnik Daddy-O
I've got an electric bongo
I'm a beatnik Daddy-O

And I’m going to bury you and dance the twist on your grave!
Solid Baby!
(Punctuated by finger snaps and applause.)

Plaza Nada is the pointless, useless meeting place for when all is gone, where there is nothing left, the dark, barren, cold, ashen, aftermath of obliteration.  A cross-project "collaboration" in the works.
