I'll be lookin' at the city lights
on the water
takin' you out on the town that night
Oooo Oooo Oooo
Strollin' on down the boardwalk
And the music is right...

We're goin' to the lights down by the sea
So please hold that elevator for me.

Icy drinks out in the summer head
Watchin' the ships come in from a patio seat
in the evening
Dancin' beneath the stars
We ain't missin' a beat...

We're goin' to the lights down by the sea 
So please hold that elevator for me.

The smoke and drink is all we can taste
on the last call
Get up and stumble back to your place.
Oooo Oooo Oooo
Laughin' and smilin' at me, while I make my case.

They've put out all the lights down by the sea
So please hold that elevator for me
So please hold that elevator for me baby
repeat

Please Hold That Elevator

In the sound of the evening
Looking up and for a meaning to belong here
And it's quiet demeanor
helps the music that we play here sing for longer

The fat cats can't find us when we're in here
not that they'd ever look at all
Just close the doors and come back to me
come back and let me have it all...

And we'll sing
Doo doo doo doo etc

In these times I escape it 
and forget all of the things that don't belong here
Looking back we can see that
there's a line between who wins and who just got here

So get back and leave the world behind you
Hit that and let yourself unwind 
Now afterhours are upon us
Just let the music take your mind...

And we'll sing
Doo doo doo doo etc

And we'll sing
Doo doo doo doo etc

(V4.83)

Afterhours

Written by Cass Dvorak and accompaniment by Rock Sinders
Art by Snowfall the Cat (see link on our main page)

Gettin' up in the morning to the same old songs
and the moon's still up cause we beat the sun
better turn it all on just to make it
through another long one.

But it's never as bad as it could've been
though it could be better than it always seems.
So we do it for each other
it makes it a little better.

And we once were blind but we now can see
the way the world works and how it ever came to be
beautiful and ugly
yet there's room for one another.

So turn the noise off step outside and look up high
at the stars we all see in the same old sky.
They can't be hiding the truth
and we share them with each other.

I know the world's not perfect and it never was
and the wheel keeps turning like it always does.
Turns forward just a little faster
than it turned out last year.

Now we make the best of every turn we've got
and we won't quit livin' till the big wheel stops.
Gotta keep it goin' baby
just live a little longer.

I have a place, a special place
down by the river, on a sunny bend

That is where I saw her, that day that we met
A bounce in her walk, so light on her step

I have a place, a special place
down by the river, on a sunny bend

Here comes my girl
Oh, she looks so cool i can hardly wait
Oh ya, i can hardly wait

I can hardly wait
Oh ya, i can hardly wait

I have a place, a special place
Down by the river, on a sunny bend

That is where I saw her, that day that we met
A bounce in her walk, so light on her step

Here comes my girl
Oh, she looks so cool i can hardly wait
Oh ya, i can hardly wait

Light Step

To be played specifically on a car stereo ;) 

As the heat goes I'd say it's not too bad
for the year it's okay to beat the days we had 
But the time that we all spent in the sun
was the kind that we hadn't had for years

Riding next to you
Riding next to you

So I'll remember waves and shining sky
and spotting all the ship as they pass by
But after all these years we still can sit for days 
with good old friends that came from far away

Don't stop livin on a sunny day
Get up, just wasting away till we 
find out the years are never as long
as you love me.

And we stay to see another day 
laughing, waitin on the edge of our
seats you, look at me while I 
stare too, long at you and you
tell me that you love me and
you'll be waitin in the room for me
I jump up and follow you there

Ride into the blue
Ridin next to you....

Now if all of this is made of memories
then the life that we are livin is for me
and it doesn't matter now those times have passed
with new ones up ahead enough to last.

And we stay to see another day 
laughing, waitin on the edge of our
seats you, look at me while I 
stare too, long at you and you
tell me that you love me and
you'll be waitin in the room for me there

Ridin next to you

One To Remember

Photo by Phill Sinders

Verse 1
Live another lovely day
lookout now to the sun come down
on you...

See myself from years before
leave that person sitting at the
the door...

But now I, turn around and I walk away
And I, make plans for another day
leave a world behind that door 
that never could have kept me there
but you...

Chorus

You and me now... we carried the wind above the trees
We were something and everything just trying to believe
that we could... live on forever, die for each other
but see...
It's still everything to me
It's still everything to me
you're there with me, can't you see
It's still everything to me...

Verse 2
Now I'm... never sure if I'm good enough
never know if I'll measure up
to you...

But we are who we are and that's okay
or at least that's the way I see it
anyway...

And now I, turn around and fade away
miss plans from the good old days
strain to see the world behind a door
that could have kept me there
but you...

Chorus x2

It's Everything

Well hello my friend I will see you
with the summers and years realized
All those good times in disguise 
In our youthful eyes

And although we go I think that you should finally know
I'd never trade away those nights or live my life another time
Singin songs then like, "where were you while we were gettin high?"
yeah Ooooo Ooooo

Living out on the other side
you can feel our great divide
Cause the journey can be strange 
you reach your home and find you've changed.

But I can't explain it all 
why can't we all rise beyond our fall?
And that's just how it goes never understanding what we've always known.
But you can't deny it's there or pretend it doesn't lead us to dispair.
Ooooo Ooooo yeah

Well hello my friend I will see you
with the summers and years realized
All those good times in disguise 
In our youthful eyes

And although we go I think that you should finally know
I'd never trade away those nights or live my life another time
Singin songs then like, "where were you while we were gettin' high?"
Ooooo Ooooo yeah yeah

We're Far Away

Happy Friday!

Makin that bacon and I'm bringin it home 
Theres a pretty woman waitin for me
We're hittin the beach
gettin takeout for dinner but  I know that all that takeout ain't free

Cool cool morning on a summer day
the alarm clock won't give up
I gotta punch my card so that I get payed
Pour my coffee in my cup

We all spend our weekdays workin
take our orders from above
but I guess it's not the worst thing
when we're doin it all for love

We're lucky to be worthy of
all of the good good things 
that make up our lives
and give us reason to put up

Now it's real easy to just hang your head
and only look at all of the bad
but for everyday that you get out of bed
you got to think of all that you have

So when you punch the clock all day and night 
think of the roof that's sittin above
cause the money ain't comin
if you're not there runnin 
for the things and the people you love.

Punchin The Clock

Slava Ukraini

War is awful.  Peace and love needs to prevail worldwide.
There's too much hatred, pain and division.
When will we ever learn...?

Another falls before the silence of indifference
Another lost within a city on the hill.
And up we climb towards the light off in the distance
Not thinking of the things in lives we might instill.

Yea we get away and escape the pain
of witnessing the decay
it washes away with the rain
when it falls at the end of the day

Lay in wait here we stay
the comin' day will take us away.
Lay in wait here we stay
the comin' day will take us away.
Lay in wait here we stay
the comin' day will take us away.

The dust and ash fall slowly down upon the people.
The fire and smoke reach out to choke them to the ground (Choke them to the ground)
Sidewinder flies above the city like an eagle.
Hunting their target they come screaming through the clouds.

Lay in wait here we stay
the comin' day will take us away.
Lay in wait here we stay
the comin' day will take us away.

Another falls before the silence of indifference
Another lost within a city on the hill...

Why do you always look so
sad about the future.
Why can't you forgive yourself
for things you did before?

Cause nobody promised you
this life would be that easy.
Someone so blue like you
will always ask for more.

But I... couldn't settle the score.
And I... couldn't follow, couldn't follow you anymore.

Well maybe the world around you
bent around you easy.
But baby you'll never learn to
bend along with things.

Someone so blue has never
been outside the city.
Someone like you has never
felt the way life stings.

But I... wouldn't settle the score
And I... couldn't follow, couldn't follow anymore.

Solo

So you can be blue like you
and leave without believing.
Wherever you go you'll never
be... here.

Never leaving, never believing
never could see your life that way.
Never leaving, never believing
never could see your life that way.
Never leaving, never believing
never could see your life that way.

And I'll be off livin' all my days...
believing...
Never thinkin' about those times again...

Someone So Blue

I started out, I had no plan
I took a job and soon was working for the man
And now it seems through modern dreams
And all I've done is learn to live beyond my means
Yes we have the house, And we have the car
And paid for it all, on some credit card, now that ain't right!
Oh no, no

My second home, your student loan
And every year I got myself a brand new phone
Can't do without, don't have the nerve
I tell myself that these are things that I deserve
Yes, I can't make do,  With just half my chеque
I need all those things, so I live in debt
Now that ain't right
Everything that I thought I knew
Everything I was told, was true
I was living a lie and I never ask why
And now I don't know what to do
I guess I can't keep up, I guess I can't keep up with the Jones

I can't slow down, I've lost control
I've  double down and tell myself I'm on a roll
It's not my fault, it's not like me
I never saw myself as someone who ain't free
Now I'm wondering, has it gone too far?
Should I pick up the cheque, At this hotel bar? Now that ain't right!
No, no, no
Everything that I thought I knew
Everything I was told was true
I was living a lie and I never ask why
Now I don't know what to do
I guess I can't keep up, I guess I can't keep up with the Jones

I was living like the money was king
I let it have the power on me
Now I recognize the funniest things
Is I'm broke and now I'm finally free hee hee hee-hee!

We all know life don't go as planned
So now I'm buying all my records second hand
It's brought me these, I've come to see
That all my greatest joys in life are always free
I still have my house, But I've sold my car
It felt so damn good, To cut up those credit cards, yeah that felt right!
Yeah, yeah, oo!
Everything that I thought I knew
Everything I was told was true
I was living a lie and I never ask why
Now I don't know what to do
I guess I can't keep up, I guess I can't keep up with the Jones

Up With The Jones

Little GTO

When I turn it on, wind it up, blow it out, GTO

Don't think sorry's easily said
Don't try turning tables instead
You've taken lots of chances before
But I ain't gonna give anymore
Don't ask me
Cuz that's how it goes
'Cause part of me knows what you're thinking

Don't say words you're gonna regret
Don't let the fire rush to your head
I've heard the accusation before
And I ain't gonna take any more
Believe me
The sun in your eyes
Made some of the lies worth believing

I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see any more to know that
I can read your mind (looking at you)
I can read your mind (looking at you)
I can read your mind (looking at you)
I can read your mind

Don't leave false illusion behind
Don't cry I ain't changing my mind
So find another fool like before
Cause I ain't gonna live anymore believing
Some of the lies while all of the signs are deceiving

I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see any more to know that
I can read your mind (looking at you)
I can read your mind (looking at you)
I can read your mind (looking at you)
I can read your mind

I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I don't need to see any more to know that
I can read your mind (looking at you)
I can read your mind (looking at you)
I can read your mind (looking at you)

Eye In The Sky

You hear the silence clear in the dead of the night
between the wind in the grass below.
And moving just at the edges keeping out of sight
you see the chance for the final blow.

But you're a wild cat baby in the jungle heat
and you don't care who all knows
And if they see it comin' then they're in too deep
They try to run but they're way too slow

Here in the wild baby you're at the top of the chain
they're all livin' in your show
Cause at the end of the day you're gonna deal the pain.
when you show up they're all gonna know.

Get Back the hunt is over
Know that you win again
Nights black but still gets colder
Wildcat's what you became
what you became...

Beneath the wind and the rain you can carry the load
weathered by the nights from before
Suspended here in the hunt walkin' down the road
that no one dares to ever walk anymore.

You're a wildcat baby in the jungle heat
die by the rules that you've always known.
You're a wildcat baby in the jungle heat
die by the rules that you've always known.

You're a Wildcat

Get Back the hunt is over
Know that you win again
Nights black but still gets colder
Wildcat's what you became.

v6.01

Wildcat

Huddled in a hallway making secret mindless chatter
A finger that points at you and the giggles that come after
Spreading all the latest news, those Lilliputians
Find their strength in number

Walk towards a noisy room, deathly quiet when you enter
Look across those shallow eyes that turn and smuggly whisper
Wait your turn in line, (I am waiting), but the teller
Shuts his wicket on your number

Had enough of this, small talk
The most useless information
Oh Small talk, making worse my situation
In ignorance grows, way out of control
When you're the last to know

Mutated seeds that snowball down the biggest mountains
Contaminated water flowing from never ending fountains
And it's carried on by all the empty lives
Living someone else's

Had enough of this small talk
The most useless information
Oh, Small talk, making worse my situation
In ignorance grows, way out of control
Had enough of this small talk
The most useless information
Oh, Small talk, making worse the situation
In ignorance grows, way out of control
And you're the last to know

When you're the last to know
Small talk, enough of that, small talk, ya,
Small talk, enough of that, small talk
Small talk, enough of that, small talk

V3.22

Small Talk

Put on my blue suede shoes
And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
W.C. Handy, won't you look down over me?
Yeah, I got a first class ticket
But I'm as blue as a boy can be
Then I'm walking in Memphis
Was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel?
Saw the ghost of Elvis
On Union Avenue
Followed him up to the gates of Graceland
Then I watched him walk right through
Now security they did not see him
They just hovered 'round his tomb
But there's a pretty little thing
Waiting for the King
Down in the Jungle Room
When I was walking in Memphis
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
But do I really feel the way I feel?
They've got catfish on the table
They've got gospel in the air
And Reverend Green be glad to see you
When you haven't got a prayer
But, boy, you've got a prayer in Memphis
Now Muriel plays piano
Every Friday at the Hollywood
And they brought me down to see her
And they asked me if I would
Do a little number
And I sang with all my might
She said
"Tell me are you a Christian child?"
And I said "Ma'am, I am tonight"
Walking in Memphis
(Walking in Memphis)
Was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
(Walking in Memphis)
But do I really feel the way I feel?
Walking in Memphis
(Walking in Memphis)
I was walking with my feet ten feet off of Beale
Walking in Memphis
(Walking in Memphis)
But do I really feel the way I feel?
Put on my blue suede shoes
And I boarded the plane
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain
Touched down in the land of the Delta Blues
In the middle of the pouring rain

Walking In Memphis

Tiny little boots covered in snow
Apple cider warmin' on the stove
Tinsel twinklin' everywhere
Holly hangin' on the stairs
It must be Christmas Eve
Angels sittin' high upon a tree
Watchin' over presents patiently
Milk and cookies on a plate
Santa Clause is on his way
The kids should be fast asleep
Sleigh bells are ringin' in their heads
Twistin' like little tops in their beds
Tryin' to sleep but it's no use
With hoofs tap tappin' on the roof
Peakin' out the window to see what they can see
It's a candy cane Christmas
Sweet as it can be
The kids will wake up awfully early
'Cause they can't wait to see
If Santa made it so they can say
Look what he brought me
Sleigh bells are ringin' in their heads
Twistin' like little tops in their beds
Tryin' to sleep but it's no use
With hoofs tap tappin' on the roof
Peakin' out the window to see what they can see
It's a candy cane Christmas
Sweet as it can be
It's a candy cane Christmas
Sweet as it can be

Candycane Christmas

The snow is fallin' on Christmas Eve
And I'm walkin down familiar streets
Warm food waits for me at home
Right now I'm happy just to feel the snow

But when we get back you'll be there
Smilin' at me from atop the stairs
The lights are glowing all around the place
A loving feeling resting on your face
This is your homemade Christmas
This is your homemade Christmas

Now I know where our home exists
It took awhile but I can admit
Not a place but it's all our own
Anywhere I'm with you, we're not alone

Presents and family are miles away
Along with memories of Christmas days
But we're together and that's all I need
warm on a homemade Christmas Eve...
This is your homemade Christmas
This is your homemade Christmas

All the promises that we have kept
replace the shiny new store bought gifts
The days ahead that we now see
Can't be wrapped under a Christmas tree...

The winter deepens in the frosty days
And glowing fires still keep me amazed
Inside our home's everything we need
When you wake up next to me...
On our homemade Christmas
On our homemade Christmas

Your Homemade Christmas

Hey sister... 
what do you think about the city you miss?
Is it better to just now remember?
Or fade away into a peaceful place

Cause you ain't goin' home... again
you can see the path that lies ahead of you bend...away...into the night
and if you ever find...your way...to the end
then I could finally sleep again.

So come on meet me down by the river... brother and sister
Come and feel the life return to your soul...in the water
and wash away those marks of a sinner...you might
and let them flow on down with the river...tonight.

Hey mother...and father
what do you see upon the road ahead...as your drive?
And have you come now to reconsider?
Or float the same way on to the end?

Cause you ain't comin' home
you can feel the years that lie behind you fade...away...into the night
and if you ever lose yourself...again
then I could finally leave...amen.

2x
So come on meet me down by the river... brother and sister
Come and feel the life return to your soul...in the water
and wash away those marks of a sinner...you might
and let them flow on down with the river...tonight.

So come on meet me down by the river... mother and father
Come and feel the life return to your soul...in the water
and wash away those marks of a sinner...you might
and let them flow on down with the river...tonight. Yea....

Down With The River

Well me and the boys are goin' out on the town
We're meetin' the ladies and we're hangin' around
jump in the car and get to cruisin' it down
to wherever the party is we'll follow the sound

And she keeps me up till morning
just sittin' drinkin' on the floor
when the lights come on and we're leavin'
I'll be runnin' for the door

Leather jackets and a rowdy crew
she had sunglasses and a flower tattoo
the night was callin' and the day was through
We all meet drinkin' to familar tunes

And she's with me in the evening
tryin' to pull me to the floor
when the day comes and I'm leaving
She gets up and locks the door

Chorus
So ratchet up to the same old sound
we're all drivin' through the same old town
You're comin' with us I want you around
Just don't forget me at the party we found

She calls me in the evening
trying to pull me off the floor
but when the boys pull up and I'm leavin'
leave her standin' at my door...

(Jump in the car and get to cruisin it down
we're meetin' the ladies and we're drivin' around
Leather jackets and a rowdy crew
she had sunglasses and a flower tattoo)

Chorus

She finds me in the evening
wanderin' all around the floor 
when the nights done and we're leavin'
she gets me home and through my door

Ratchet Up

On a cool bright evening
in the middle of May
He was sittin' all alone 
just waiting beside the train

And she left one morning
on the northbound line
on the run from what her life became 
and the ones who robbed her blind

But he wasn't waitin' for her
and he couldn't read minds
and she wasn't heading anywhere
in particular that time

And at first they never noticed it
But on the second look they did
and as they talked he took the chance 
to say all the words he'd never said

He said, "I'll take you out tomorrow
it's just a drive away from home.
But if you fall in love with me again
you will never be fine."

She said "she's only flyin solo."
Since he left her all alone
And if she fell in love with him
He could never ask why
He could never ask why
He could never ask why

And at times you feel the world turn
when you stand real still
And you fumble for the words you need
to describe the way it feels

And the way it feels is often the way 
it'll keep you awake at night
If you chase the ghosts that haunt your dreams
then you'll never see the light

Cause the light is right before you
if you care to turn it on
And you could pull back on the darkness
if you can't tell him that he's wrong

And you turn the light and tear the 
ticket up that's in your hand
Walkin' off into the sunset 
in a life that lies ahead

She said she's, "never gonna go home."
and, "let's runaway tonight."
And when she fell in love with him again
he could never ask why

He said "that they could leave tomorrow
to anywhere that they could fly."
And when she fell in love with him before
He didn't need to know why
He didn't need to know why
He didn't need to know why

She said, "don't worry about tomorrow,
it's all the way across the night.
Cause if you fall in love with me again
you will never be fine."

He said that, "I could handle myself,
and don't worry if I'm right,
because I fell in love with you 
the minute you came into my sight."
You came into my sight
You came into my sight

Don't Worry About Tomorrow

So we weren't trying to rip off Julian Lennon's great original.
We were going to cover it properly, but we had a miscommunication as to being an original. Therefore, we are putting this cover tune out as a reprise of the original.
It's a very unique continuation of a classic tune.
We hope you understand and enjoy.


 You never showed up I sat there alone
Never bothered just to pick up the phone
then I saw you with another guy
I thought you had to work till quarter to five...?

(2x) Oooooo it's too late for goodbye
(Don't try to explain it's too late for goodbye)

I started walkin' and I don't know how far
...wanted to drive but I gave you the car
Couldn't afford it but I'd definitely fly
I spent my last dime on a burger and fries

(2x) Ooooo It's too late for goodbye
(I don't really care it's too late for goodbye)

Now I'm free and I'm livin' alone
She took my car and I don't have a phone
I got a job makin' burgers and fries
It's down the street so I don't have to drive

(2x) Ooooo it's too late for goodbye
(now I'm free it's too late for goodbye)

I kept the dog and he still lives with me
he never liked her since 2003
Life's gettin' better and I'm movin' along
I saw her today and I wrote down this song

(2x) Oooooo it's too late for goodbye
(life's getting better it's too late for goodbye)

Ever since you've been leavin me
I've been wanting to cry
Now I know how it feels for you
I've been wantin to die

(2x) But it's much too late for goodbye
(Now I know it's too late for goodbye)

(4x) Ooooo it's too late for goodbye

Too Late For Goodbye (The Reprise)

Baby, here I am
I'm the man on the scene
I can give you what you want
But you got to come home with me
I've got some good old lovin'
And I got some more in store
When I get through throwin' it on you
You gotta come back for more
Boys and things that come by the dozen
That ain't nothin' but drugstore lovin'
Hey little thing, let me light your candle
'Cause, mama, I'm sure hard to handle now, gets around

Action speaks louder than words
And I'm a man of great experience
I know you got another man
But I can love you better than him
Take my hand, don't be afraid
I'm gonna prove every word I say
I'm advertising love for free
So you can place your ad with me
Boys will come along, a dime by the dozen
That ain't nothing but ten cent lovin'
Hey little thing, let me light your candle
'Cause, mama, I'm sure hard to handle now, gets around

Yeah
Hard to handle now
Oh, baby

Baby, here I am
I'm the man on your scene
I can give you what you want
But you gotta come home with me
I've got some good old lovin'
And I got some more in store
When I get through throwin' it on you
You gotta come runnin' back for more
Boys will run along, a dime by the dozen
That ain't nothin' but drugstore lovin'
Hey little thing, let me light your candle
'Cause, mama, I'm sure hard to handle now, gets around

Ya, so hard to handle now

Boys will run along, a dime by the dozen
That ain't nothing but ten cent lovin'
Hey little babe, let me light your candle
'Cause, mama, I'm sure hard to handle now, gets around
Aww
So hard to handle now
Oh, yeah
Baby, Baby, Baby, Baby

I got to have, oh yeah
So hard to handle, now, yeah

Hard To Handle

Original Youtube artist
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R-dm1VlZ5_8

Down home diggin' in the dirt
A little hard work never hurt
Barefoot gettin' sunburn
Back where she was raised
Hot hay in a little creek
Copperheads in the summer heat
It's on the color of the Georgia peach
Back where she was raised
Her daddy would always say

Mama won't ya get that fiddle
Come on and burn it to the ground
Play like an old train whistle
The high and lonesome sound
She could play those mountain tunes
Passed down to her like heirlooms
Yawl know whose a little on the guitar and fiddle 
she could turn the green grass blue

Sally gettin' in the cripple creek 
Startin' fires with gasoline
The dog are ugly but that ain't mean
Appalachia way
Rawhide and rocker talk
Make fun of the way we talk
Sunburns ain't never lots
Appalachia way
Gonna make you wanna stay

Mama won't ya get that fiddle
Gonna burn it to the ground
Playin' like an old train whistle
That high and lonesome sound
She could play those mountain tunes
Passed down to her like heirlooms
Yawl know whose in middle of a guitar and fiddle
She could turn the green grass blue
hey!

Turn the green grass blue ya

Mama won't you get that fiddle
Come on and burn it to the ground
Playin' like an old train whistle
Ahh play that lonesome sound
She could play those mountain tunes
Passed down to her like heirlooms
Yawl know whose the middle of a guitar or fiddle
She could turn the green grass blue ya
Mama wants the middle with guitar or fiddle
She could turn the green grass blue
ya!

Turn The Green Grass Blue

Open the door in the mornin'
Just to check out the weather
what should you wear as you're ridin'
alone in your car...

Because if the sun isn't shining
bright in your mirror
that doesn't mean that it won't stop
raining this hard

And it's a 50-50 chance that
it'll come out tomorrow
Cause tomorrow's just a roll of the dice
tonight...

Gettin' home after drivin'
through the city in rush hour
toss the keep on the table
and hang up your coat

And she pulls up just after 
you walk in the house 
How was your day what ya thinking
we should eat tonight?

(x2) And it's a 50-50 chance that
you're gettin' lucky
cause tonight is just a roll of the dice, 

alright...

Now we can breath in together
and exhale slowly
we're gonna go home tomorrow
win or lose

But we both knew that no matter
just keep on fighting
and we pick up each other
when we are down

(x2) And it's a 50 - 50 life that
we are living 
and the only way to get through alive

is fight...

guitar solo

And as we let go of this whole 
idea that we have 
Gettin' ahead of the better
half of the town

We should remember to focus
on what is important
So when you get to the end you
don't have any regrets

The 50 - 50

Climbing up on Solsbury Hill
I could see the city light
Wind was blowing, time stood still
Eagle flew out of the night
He was something to observe
Came in close, I heard a voice
Standing, stretching every nerve
I had to listen, had no choice
I did not believe the information
Just had to trust imagination
My heart going "Boom-boom-boom"
"Son, " he said
"Grab your things, I've come to take you home"
Hey, back home
To keep in silence I resigned
My friends would think I was a nut
Turning water into wine
Open doors would soon be shut
So I went from day to day
Though my life was in a rut
'Til I thought of what I'd say
Which connection I should cut
I was feeling part of the scenery
I walked right out of the machinery
My heart going "Boom-boom-boom"
"Hey, " he said
"Grab your things, I've come to take you home"
Hey, back home
When illusion spin her net
I'm never where I wanna be
And liberty, she pirouette
When I think that I am free
Watched by empty silhouettes
Who close their eyes but still can see
No one taught them etiquette
I will show another me
Today I don't need a replacement
I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant
My heart going "Boom-boom-boom"
"Hey, " I said
"You can keep my things, they've come to take me home"
...way back home

Solsbury Hill

Wouldn't it be nice if we were older?
And we wouldn't have to wait so long
And wouldn't it be nice to live together
In the kind of world where we belong?
You know it's gonna make it that much better
When we can say goodnight and stay together
Wouldn't it be nice if we could wake up
In the morning when the day is new?
And after having spent the day together
Hold each other close the whole night through
Happy times together we've been spending
I wish that every kiss was never ending
Oh, wouldn't it be nice?
Maybe if we think and wish and hope and pray
It might come true (run, run, we-ooh)
Maybe, then there wouldn't be a single thing we couldn't do
We could be married (we could be married)
And then we'd be happy (and then we'd be happy)
Oh, wouldn't it be nice?
You know it seems the more we talk about it
It only makes it worse to live without it
Man let's talk about it
Wouldn't it be nice?
Goodnight, my baby
Sleep tight, my baby
Goodnight, my baby
Sleep tight, my baby

lol
Aren't ya forgettin' about those crazy days
Taking chances into midnight
Now those times they seem so far away
I'm looking back I wonder why. I wonder why...

I'm not talking bout some passing phase
Yet it comes and goes a lot
Since we've played now I can surely say
I know your here and what you got

You got the fever of rock and roll
The fever long ago
Get the fever of rock and roll
The fever, it won't let you go...You can't shake it!

Bridge
Your temperature rises to a hundred and four
Somebody shouts "dudes! we want some more!"
Can you feel it in the heat of the night
I can only say to hold on tight...

"We want more! I'm talking to you, we want MORE!"

Solos
You got the fever of rock and roll
The fever long ago
Get the fever of rock and roll
The fever, it won't let you go...!

The Fever

Hoping for the sunshine 
Aiming to the stars
Looking for a sure sign
Not getting very far

Flying through the valley
in the land of an older dream
surrounded by the memories
of another time and scene

And we run, we run away
run away from here
And I throw, I throw away
throw away my fear


Now the waves crash down around us
and the ship is torn to sea
so the captains meet to discuss
what the new course now will be

Sights set in the moonlight
for the planets in the sky
Together in the dark night
Until the storm passes by

And we lay, lay and wait
wait for the day

And we're stayin, we're stayin late
late for the pay

One Last Time - By Cass Dvorak

Please don't go
Stay here by my side
I can't fight this war
But I'll face it alone

I know we must fight
Make it to the dawn
Spend this night with you
Just one last time

Promise me now
You'll come back home

The battle rages on
But over it all you'll fly
Off to end it all 
My hope stays with you

On now I look
My words die in me
Above the fields I glance
Just to see you one last time

Promise me now
You'll come back home
While you're alive 
I'm not alone
