Living On The Edge

Go to the city by the Bay
It’s the best place we know where to play
Jump on in and we’re on our way
We’ll start in North Beach with a beer
Then in the mission, we’ll switch gears
Here’s to all the fun throughout the years

Fall into the fault line
You’ll meet some friends here
The night’s still young
And you’re high strung
So let’s go dancing

Holding on in Babylon
Fulfill your fantasies
Living on the edge

Now we’ll go drink champagne on the beach
We’ll build a fire within seas reach
I always say to each their peach
Let’s drive across the golden gate
Into Marin to meditate
Or to Yoshi’s to catch the late show

Moonlight and midnight
Is quite alright with me
Let’s have a smoke
And go for broke
And let the jokes flow free
Holding on in Babylon
Fulfill your fantasies

Let’s bring the party to our place
Where we can really get unlaced
And watch the willing prey get chased
The dancing girls look so hot
While all the guys are sipping shots
I guess I’ll call it a night not!



Home Again

How long ‘till we’re home again?
Hang on ‘till we’re home again
Be strong ‘till we’re home again
And we’ll keep learning and returning
And we’ll find our way home again
Unwind our way back home again
Don’t listen to the voices
That gives us no choices
But to stay lost at any cost until you exhaust

Any chance to be home again
Not a lonely expanse to roam again
I’m sorry I get mad
And make you feel so bad

Let’s try to make a home again
Goodbye to the mistakes that end
Our passion to be friends
Our compulsion to defend
When someone condescends
Can we just suspend?

And then we’ll be home again
And now we can begin again
Our love like a cooling wind
That rises inside us and invites us
And incites us and delights us

To live here at home again
To give to each other all we can again

So good to be home again
We’ve been away but we’re home again
We’re back and in love again
And we’ll keep learning and returning



Find a Lover

Find a lover
Another lover
Find a lover
Another lover
Find a lover
It’s really not hard
To find a lover
Just let down your guard
Find a lover
When you’re ready to play
Find a lover today

It’s no big deal to let your lover stray
Just give them the car keys
And watch them drive away
They’ll have a wild night
Or a matinee
Find a lover today

Now it’s time to have a little party
Now it’s time to have a little fun
Now it’s time to get a little naughty
Now it’s time to dance with everyone

Just when you think things couldn’t get better
Then in a blink they suddenly can
Hold someone close and feel they’re heartbeat
Then turn them loose and begin it again

Our lives go by so fast
And we don’t know how long they last!

Let her be pleased she’ll bring home a treasure
Let him be squeezed and he’ll love you even more
Find someone new who really gets you going
It’s not a taboo to open love’s door

Our lives go by so fast
And we don’t know how long they last!

Tell her you want her
Don’t make her wait long
Tell him he’s cute
And go out on a date
Raise both your glasses
To toast the evening
Don’t let this pass us
Go and take the bait

We don’t have to lie
Or look for alibis
To justify why, why

So why be shy?
With every passerby?
Who may really try to gratify
And untie your heart?

Life will guide you
Through the rapids of change
Flow with the currents
And over the boulders
Even if it feels strange

Follow your passions
Go ahead and risk it all
‘cause you’re intuition
Isn’t so logical

And if you get lost some place
And have to retrace
Remember to keep your cool
And always follow the golden rule
For we are all here
We are all here
We are all here to be in love



Love

Love
(you’re) like the hand inside my glove
(you’re) like the peace around the dove
Flying towards the light above
Love
The way you smile when you’re pleased
Love
The way you hold back when you sneeze
Love
The way you dance through life with ease
My Love



Shadowland

Confuse you, misuse you, abuse and use you
If your shadow alludes your eyes
You will never realize
All that you disguise
With pretense and sweet lies

You’ll crave what you abhor
You’ll feel pain and beg for more
You’ll feel safest when you’re controlled
When you do just as you’re told

Come stand in front of me
Get down upon your knees
Take off all your clothes
Until you are exposed
This is what you deserve
To serve and obey what I say

When you come you will finally see
Your darkest corners so easily
Give yourself to me to be completely free

No second thoughts for it’s far too late
Present yourself for me to take
Give yourself to me to be completely free
Forget the roses feel the thorns

As long as you resist me I’m here
As long as you avoid your fears
I am the absence of your light
I am the darkness in your night
There’s nowhere you can hide
And it’s hopeless to deny
Until you welcome me
You will never be free

(chorus)

Now your mine and I’ll have my way
Accept your fate for you’re here to stay
Give yourself to me to be completely free

Taste you tears when you feel my touch
I’ll push your limits but not too much
Give yourself to me to be completely free



So Grateful

I hear a sound in your soul
That surrounds me and makes me whole
It astounds and consoles
It confounds and cajoles
t shakes me, awakes me and takes me
Home for a moment, I am silent
The shining sun in your song so translucent
Through your mind we see
A key to ourselves

How do you know?
To allow such sweet rainbows?
Of light and shadows
From the heights and far below
Leaving us in afterglow
From your music’s flow
After every show
As the rhythm slows
And the people go

Flowers from your garden
Showering us with blossoms
Colors so surreal
Inviting us to heal
So grateful for your life
Your music and your smile



Let Me Go


I am always here for you
I am the one you can run to
No matter what you say or do
My life is my love for you

But now let me go
Please let me go
Just let me go
Away form this pain
To stay is in vain
Is this the end?

If you ever come this far
You may feel quite bizarre
With one foot placed on each shore
And a glimpse into death’s door

And yet you want me to hold on, hold on, h o l d    o n
Let me go
Just let me go
Please let me go
Away form this pain
To stay is in vain
When will this end?

With a tiger in pursuit
And a cliff in front of you
You find a branch and you grab hold
And hang on ‘till you’re stone cold

(chorus)

As my life flashes before me
Can I shed this old debris
And see you one last time with clear eyes
And feel the love in our goodbyes
Goodbye, goodbye



Looks Like Rain

Hey! See the clouds blowing our way
And it’s getting darker today
The seas’s exploding on the shore
And I’m leaving out the back door

How ‘bout you
What to do?
Are you prepared?
To not be spared?

Everywhere that you go
You’re a part of it
Everything that you know
Is a part of it
Just because you don’t know
You’re a part of it
Doesn’t mean that you’re not
A part of it

Ahh Ahh Ahh

Are we dreaming?
Or are people are screaming?

Oh Oh Oh
Looks like rain
Feels like it will rain
Looks like rain

All of us are here
No one seems to care
Take a deep breath
It’s coming down
Coming down
Rain is coming down
Coming down   rain……

You may pretend
To not see what’s ‘round the bend
But take a deep breath
‘Cause it feels like rain
Looks like rain
Feels like it will rain
Looks like rain    down      rain

All of us were there
No one seemed to care
Take a deep breath
It’s coming down
Coming down
Rain is coming down
Coming down    rain



One more chance

One more chance for us to listen up and hear one another
One more chance for us to get out of our own ways
One more chance for us to say what counts and really mean it
One more chance for us to open up and say,

I learn from you
You learn from me
Let’s not argue
When we disagree

Our love is more then all our differences could be
Let’s keep shining and combining all our hearts

One more chance for us to bridge the gulf that’s grown between us
One more chance for us to stop this war on love
One more chance for us to get dressed up and go out together
One more chance for us to say what we’re thinking of

Why can’t we foresee these old patterns of ours

Can’t we find within our minds ways to be more kind?
Can the thoughts we turn into knots really make us blind?

When will we learn to get over it?
When will we learn?
What can we do to stop worrying?
What can we do?
Why can’t we realize sooner?
What’s in our way?
How can we learn to make sense of this?
What can we say?



The Underworld

Welcome to the underworld where I will host you while you’re here
I will show you a mirror and watch your smile disappear
While you are my prisoner here there will be no chance to get away
No one will come and rescue you or save your soul, this is judgment day

It doesn’t matter who you are or what you’ve got to lose
I will cast it all away and leave you in blackness with the blues
Sooner or later you’ll be brought to me addicted to your misery
And I will always slash and burn all of you that refuse to learn

Help me (us) please to see, to see with lucidity    (No Way)
Help me (us) please to see, to see infinity     (No Way)
Help me (us) please to be, to be divinity       (Fat Chance)
Help me please to free, to free and help myself (ourselves)

No one will save you
You alone are truth
Living Life so lovingly
We are free
(Not so fast)

Freedom is for those that get beyond
Their cruelty, hate and greed
Their belligerent non-negotiable attitudes
And willingness to just let it bleed

Let me tell you how it’s always been
And forever always will be
You will live in Hell with me
With your sanctimonious, self righteous hypocrisy



Requiem For the Bees


When a bee flies out of sight
Can you still hear it buzzing?
May its plea rise with its height
‘till we can hear them calling

Honey Bee

Will we see their demise as our plight?
Before we start changing?

Honey bee fly, honey bee fly
Back home fly back home back home

When a bee flies out of sight
Will we hear them calling?
