Be
With You
(Owsley, O’Brian, Thomas)
I want to show you
The rhythm and the roll
And take you into
The center of my soul
I wanna run through
The fields of your imagination
Under the blue sky
You’re the golden sun
I look in your eyes
And know you are the one
See where my heart lies
Trippin’ on the fascination
Along the way
I will hang on every single word you say
And should you whisper asking me to stay
Maybe I’ll lay awhile to kiss your smile
***chorus***
I wanna know how it feels to believe in somethin’
Ride on the heals of a good thing comin’
Run to the one thing I know is somethin’ true
I wanna be with you
***
Want you to show me
The wonders of the world
Feel like you know me
Like no other girl
You have and hold me
Leading me out of the darkest night
Into the light
Never has it ever felt so right
And from this moment on you are the sight
I can’t erase
I close my eyes, I see your face
***chorus 2***
I wanna know how it feels to believe in somethin’
Ride on the heals of a good thing comin’
Run to the one thing I know is somethin’ true
I wanna live my life like I know the meaning
Deep inside my soul I hear the music screamin’
Eyes wide open I’m awake and dreamin’ too
I wanna be with you.
***
I want to show you
The rhythm and the roll
And take you into
The center of my soul
I wanna run through
The fields of your imagination

Rise
(Owsley, O’Brian)
Rise now awaken from your slumber
The spell that you’re under
Is melting away now
Sunset is breakin’ through your window
And making a shadow
The ghost of a long day
Goes driftin’ by
It’s so late and now it’s time to…
***chorus***
Rise
You’re runnin’ out of daylight
Stare into the sunlight
Stand and face the cold night
You can Rise
And while the world is sleeping
The light is in your keeping
Open up your eyes
Rise
***
Nightmares have gone and left you haunted
Ya got what ya wanted
Ya wanted to breathe
But somehow you crumbled under pressure
The pain of your pleasures
Has taken you way down
But now it’s time
To lay down your broken mind and…
***chorus*** |

Dude
(Owsley, Kennedy)
(Spoken:) Turn it up
Tell me
You’re the girl who never goes away again
Sell me
On how the fairytale could never end
Help me
Find a happy ever after
***chorus***
You, did something that you said you’d never do
Took my heart and broke it right in two
Why’d ya have to go and be so rude
Well, that’s no way to treat a dude
(Spoken:) Now is it now
***
Spare me
All the rhetoric, I’ve heard it all before
Dare me
But I’m not game to try it anymore
Nearly
Went postal when I figured out that
***chorus*** |

She’s The One
(Owsley, Morgan)
Yeah
Everything I ever wanted finally came to me
But in the end it wasn’t what I wanted it to be
I wagered everything I had and never had a doubt
Only to discover it ain’t what it’s all about
I know I’m wrong
Been gone too long
I’m goin’ home for good
***chorus***
When I wake up in the morning and I head on down the road
I regret the feelings that I never showed
And every time I try to think of reasons why to walk away
I can only find a reason not run
She’s the one
***
Seems you always hurt the ones you really love the most
Giving up the girl instead of giving up the ghost
If I could do it all again I’d do it differently ‘Cause
everything that I did wrong is right in front of me
I know it’s time
To make her mine
I know my aim is true
***chorus*** |

Undone
(Owsley, Kennedy)
You took me outta circulation
Well fate would agreed with the likes of me
And handed me a sweet salvation
Angel above come and set me free
***chorus***
I never knew that I’d find
Someone like you to blow my mind
I’ve seen everything under the sun
But it was you that made me come undone
I never dreamed of finding the one
But it was you that made me come undone
***
Look at you in all your glory
Take care of the breath that you take away
Every picture tells a story
The shape of things words cannot say
***chorus*** |

Matriarch
(Owsley)
I see Christine Avenue every night
Through the kitchen down the hallway
To the bedroom on the right
I slide in my easy chair
Safe as can be
To the eyes of adoration
Simply starring back at me
To say
Everything in life is gonna be okay
***chorus***
Matriarch of the family
More than a reverie
You were a friend to me
Sometimes I cry out for my Joan of Arc
To come back and lead the march
Gone is my Matriarch
***
I remember how the seats felt in her 225
And I can hear the engine purring as it pulls into the drive
She’d pick me up and take me down to Dawn’s five and ten
And let me change my mind a thousand times
And take me home again
So cool
Wrote me letters everyday when I was off at school
***chorus***
(Spoken:) Thanks Sis |

Down
(Owsley)
I saw you in the reflection of the rearview
Doting away just like we used to
With someone I’d never seen before
You’re breakin’
The heart that you stirred has now been shakin’
Identity never is mistaken
When karma comes knocking at the door
***chorus***
One day to get me back
I’m going down, down, down
I know what comes around
I’m going down
***
I’m runnin’ ‘Cause everyone says I got it comin’
For doing it to another woman
The only one that I adore
I never
Knew you could hold a grudge forever
I thought we could put it back together
I think you got somethin’ else in store
***chorus***
And reality’s setting in
I know it never will be that way again
Then one day
You’ll get me back
I’m going down, down, down
I know what goes around
I’m going down, down, down
What comes around goes around,
I’m going down and I’m waiting for
What comes around goes around
I’m going down |

Dirty Bird
(Owsley)
Remember when you where a flower so tender
The day you arrived like a school girl
Wanting to learn everything
Your mother, the baroness, let you discover
The ways of the world so he showed you
And that’s when he started to know you
I’m talkin’ the biblical sense
***chorus***
Oh no, baby’s such a dirty bird
(I know what you’re really after yeah)
Oh no, baby’s such a dirty bird
***
Fiction, the decadent life of addiction
Always the life of the party
And everyone figured Bacardi
But you were off cookin’ the spoon
***chorus***
You always knew you were the one
To beat the band
Everyone knows you do
the very best you can
A Faithful Marianne
***chorus*** |

Rainy Day People
(Owsley, Morgan)
Look out the window at the clouds up in the sky
Where the heavy weather comes together five miles high
Thunder is waiting for an audience to grow
And its' lightning Rod who gives the nod to start the show
We’re on a roll that goes on
And still you wear the face that’s oh so long
But I know it’s only water falling after all
***chorus***
Rainy Day People come out and play
Don’t wait around for a sunny day
Watching the tears fall to the ground
Rainy Day People come around
***
The old black umbrella once was big enough for two
Ever since the day she went away it looks so blue
Walking alone now with my trousers in the flood
From the day I met the soaking wet my name was mud
You outta know how it goes
Covered from your head down to your toes
But I know it’s only water falling after all
***chorus***
And when you wake up in the morning to find
The storm you saw was only in your mind
I outta know
We’re on a roll that goes on
And still you wear the face that’s oh so long
But I know it’s only water falling after all
***chorus*** |

The Hard Way
(Owsley, Michael, Petty)
That woman must be 85
Holdin’ on for dear life
To a plastic cup of change
Black kid in the bathroom
Sellin’ cigarettes and perfume
To the hopeless and the strange
I stumble through the mezzanine
Neon lights and nicotine
The sound and smell of greed
One more day, one more week, one more loosing streak
But one more chance is all I need
It’s always waiting for you
To save you or destroy you
***chorus***
Roll on
I’ve been trying to make this pay for
So long
Let me learn the hard way
Let me learn the hard way
***
Time don’t exist in here
I’m counting out the hours
By every beer that comes around
I’m breathing in the oxygen
The call girls and the slot machines
And the roulette spinnin’ round ‘Cause I can never
hold I just go on until I fold
Until I’m battered broke and bruised
Anything I win
Well I just throw it all back in
Until there’s nothing left to loose
It’s always waiting for you
To save you or destroy you
***chorus***
She’s always waiting for me
To love me or ignore me
***chorus*** |
