Something Good

SOMETHING GOOD
I spread honey on my toast
Had a talk with my father’s ghost
Something good
Something good is coming
Disappeared for two hours
In the rain picking wild flowers - tiger lilies
Something good
Something good is coming
Something fine
All mine all mine
I can share with the ones I love
Something real
I feel like the one thing I knew I was
Something good
Dumped my coffee down the drain
Took a drive down the middle lane - windows open
Something good is coming
Cross the Delaware
Cross the Hudson
Down the Harlem River drive
Twilight breathing
Something good is coming
Something fine
All mine all mine
I can share with the ones I love
Something real
I feel like the one thing I knew I was
Something good

You Turn Me On

YOU TURN ME ON
Is it me
Or does the moon look like a tangerine tonight?
I feel free
And I’m so high that I could fly and take a bite
And it turns me on
You turn me on like no one else I know
And I know an awful lot of people
You turn me on like no one else I know
And I know an awful lot of people
Does it seem
A paisley sky’s about to cry and breathe us in?
In a dream
I laid you down and licked the raindrops off your skin
And it turned me on
You turn me on like no one else I know
And I know an awful lot of people
You turn me on like no one else I know
And I know an awful lot of people
Every little move
Every little touch
And I feel you spinning me off the ground
Every little kiss
Every little sigh
Echos in my head when you’re not around
And it turns me on
You turn me on like no one else I know
And I know an awful lot of people
You turn me on like no one else I know
And I know an awful lot of people

Where's My Yoko?

WHERE'S MY YOKO?
I feel like Nixon at a cocktail party
I’ll only smile until it hurts
How I wish that I could shrug my shoulders
I think I left the hanger in my shirt
And like a blind man at silent movie
There’s truly nothing I can say
You really dished me up some food for thought
Popcorn at a drive in matinee
Where’s my Yoko?
Don’t we all deserve someone who gets what we are all about
Where’s my Yoko?
I can wait a little longer...
Two chilly shadows in the early darkness
You held my hand in Central Park
Tracing patterns in the NY skyline
The wind blew through your hair and through my heart
Where’s my Yoko?
Don’t we all deserve someone who gets what we are all about
Where’s my Yoko?
I can wait a little longer...
I wait but you never come
I’m home but you never call
It feels like eternity's burning away
But it’s just another cigarette
Why?
Where’s my Yoko?
Don’t we all deserve someone who gets what we are all about
Where’s my Yoko?
Someone who can talk in bed and pull the music from my head
Where’s my Yoko?
I can wait a little longer...

People Are People

PEOPLE ARE PEOPLE
Look at all these people
Everybody’s different, everyone’s the same
All these people
Everyone just wants to whisper someone’s name
People are people and love is love
You know that it’s true and you can’t deny it
You’re waving the rule book from up above
We love what we found, we don’t want to hide it
And what if all this hate could turn itself to knowledge?
When you look for the good in someone else
You find what’s good within yourself.
People are people - People are people...
Marriage is marriage and ties are ties
A hand in a hand, the future’s upon us
They’re searching for serpents with apple pies
There’s no evil here, there’s only a promise
That one day all this fear will turn itself to freedom
When you open your mind and blur your eyes
A word is worth a thousand pictures
People are people - People are people...
And love is love I know it
You can see the way a room lights up
the minute you show it.
Love is love, I’ve seen it
Who cares who you say “I love you” to
as long as you mean it?
People are people - People are people...
And one day all this pain will turn itself to pleasure
Look for the good in someone else
You’ll find what’s good within yourself
People are people - People are people...

Saturday Girl (2010)

SATURDAY GIRL
There was time when I’d be happy to be with you anytime at all
But Friday’s my heart is restless
There’s something I’m waiting for it never comes
I wanna be your Saturday Girl
The one that you call before anyone
Wanna be your Saturday Girl
The one you look forward to and dress up for
Wanna be your Saturday Girl
Maybe we meet on Monday
And Tuesday you tell me, Wednesday is alright
But Saturday night’s the laundry
I’m thinking how close we were
and you’re out with her
I wanna be your Saturday Girl
The one that you call before anyone
Wanna be your Saturday Girl
The one you look forward to and dress up for
Wanna be your Saturday Girl
Tea with Sunday paper
Yell at the toaster
Stare at the phone
Are you still there with her
Did you wake up alone
Drinks in the dark on Thursday
I put on some music, some lipstick and a smile
You whisper you’re free on Sunday
But I want the one day that you never say
I wanna be your Saturday Girl
The one that you call before anyone
Wanna be your Saturday Girl
The one you look forward to and dress up for
Wanna be your Saturday Girl
I want the one day that you never say: Saturday

NOBODY SAYS SWEET HEART ANYMORE
I wanna be your star
I wanna be your moon
Glow on your pillow
Crawl down your sheets and sleep like spoons
And when the morning comes
I wanna shine your sun
Rain in your shower
Steam up your tea and breathe on you
But nobody says sweet heart anymore
And nobody says I do
Nobody says sweet heart anymore
Sweetheart do you?
Call me a pirate's fool
Steal all my treasure too
But don't call me fickle
My offers stand as tried and true for you
But nobody says sweet heart anymore
And nobody says I do
Nobody says sweet heart anymore
Sweet heart do you?
Tried to forget it
I tried to let go
Sometimes that's a hard thing to do
The world that we know
Is not always as it's seen through other's eyes
I wish you could see through mine
Would you?
Could you?
But nobody says sweet heart anymore
And nobody says I do
Nobody says sweet heart anymore
Sweetheart do you?

The Girl's Romantic

THE GIRL'S ROMANTIC
This is the girl who hears symphonies in windy trees
Sings with the band “I Wanna Hold Your Hand” does the harmonies
And when it rains – it rains roses and tomorrow will be a better day
The girl’s romantic - she’s romantic nothing you can do
The girl’s romantic - she’s romantic but her love is true
This is the girl wishing on falling stars that are aeroplanes
Smiles at the sky, buys her self a bouquet when she gets off the train
And when she cries, she cries softly
And the orchestra knows just when to play
The girl’s romantic - she’s romantic nothing you can do
The girl’s romantic - she’s romantic but her love is true
Funny thing in paradise
You can never break your heart the same way twice
That’s why you go back again
For just one smile
Just one smile
Just one smile
This is the girl who walked with you on the moon
And kissed your cheek last night
Don’t you think twice
Love isn’t blind, it’s just in black and white
And when it rains – it rains roses
And tomorrow could be a gorgeous a day
The girl’s romantic - she’s romantic nothing you can do
The girl’s romantic - she’s romantic but her love is true
And so’s her smile
So’s her smile
So’s her smile

I Confess

I CONFESS
When I said I wasn’t serious
I wasn’t serious
And when I crossed my heart and hoped to die
Baby - I lied
Don’t be mad at me I did my best
But when you touch me I get helpless
I confess maybe I think about you
I confess baby you might be the one
I confess I could build my house around you
I confess maybe I’m in love
When I said I’d be your acrobat
I was your diplomat
Keeping secrets sleeping deep inside
Baby - I tried
Don’t be scared of me
I’m not like the rest
I won’t get you feeling restless
I confess maybe I think about you
I confess baby you might be the one
I confess I could build my house around you
I confess maybe I’m in love
And there’s worst things that could happen to you
Worse things than my love
Worst things that could happen to you
Worse things than my love
When I said I’d never fall for love
I dropped my boxing gloves
‘Cause I can’t fight you when my hands are tied
Baby - I tried
Don’t be mad at me I did my best
But when you touch me I get helpless
I confess maybe I think about you
I confess baby you might be the one
I confess I could build my house around you
I confess maybe I’m in love

Getaway Car

GETAWAY CAR
Slept on a plane – sat on the runway
Knock on the door – pray in the hallway
Mind if I come in – Woo Hoo
Flew like the moon – fell like a rocket
Heart on my sleeve – cash in my pocket
Penny for your thoughts – Woo hoo!
Does it seem the stars are all in line?
Shiny stepping stones to my next crime
You driving the getway car
Speeding like the banshee you are
Take me to a neighborhood
Where the Chinese food is good and no one’s watching
Two in the tub – two in the morning
Somebody smiles - somebody’s yawning
May I have this dance? - Woo hoo
Fighting a cold – fighting a dragon
Half in the bag – half on the wagon
One more for the road - Woo Hoo!
Does it seem the stars are all in line?
Shiny stepping stones to my next crime
You driving the getway car
Speeding like the banshee you are
Take me to a neighborhood
Where the Chinese food is good and no one’s watching
I don’t know who’s flying the kite or if the kite is flying me
Tell me what’s true
Lately I’m thinking the kite is right
What if we care if it’s in the air
And the sky is blue?
Bonnie and Clyde - all they can carry
Hailing the cab – hailing Mary
Blessed is this ride, woo hoo
Does it seem the stars are all in line?
Shiny stepping stones to my next crime
You driving the getway car
Speeding like the banshee you are
Take me to a neighborhood
Where the Chinese food is good and no one’s watching

TO THE END OF THE WORLD
Picnic lunch romantic brunch
strawberries and Ready Whip™
And the shadow of the bomb
Can I offer you some lemonade, a kiss,
a little chocolate cherry napalm
Why is it so hard to have a good time?
We choke on the pieces of the promises
we broke so long ago
I am ready for a good time
Why can’t we relax and let it go?
What if I love you?
What if I love you to the end of the world?
What if I love you?
What if I love you to the end of the world?
Late at night I hold you tight
True love in the glow of an air raid siren serenade
Can I offer you asylum in this cardboard box
refrigerator castle that I made?
Why is it so hard to have a good time?
We choke on the pieces of the promises
we broke so long ago
I am ready for a good time
Why can’t we relax and let it go?
What if I love you?
What if I love you to the end of the world?
What if I love you?
What if I love you to the end of the world?
Does it prove you wrong?
Does it prove us right?
Does it really matter if it feels alright?
What if I love you?
What if I love you to the end of the world?

EYES UNDRESSED
I like you best with your eyes undressed, baby
How do you feel?
You come around, pull my blankets down, baby
It’s no big deal
And when you’re close beside me,
I can’t stand it to want you like I do
And when I say ‘I love you’, I mean it
Uh huh
I’m not fooling around
Drop your plan like a soda can, baby
Kick it around
You can stay with me, shake the apple tree maybe
See what falls down
And when you’re close beside me, I can’t stand it
To want you like I do.
And when I say ‘I love you’, I mean it
uh huh
I’m not fooling around
Please, please don’t leave
There’s a bouquet of flowers up my sleeve
Oh, don’t you know
I never want to let you go
And all I ever wanted to see
Are your eyes smiling back at me
And when you’re close beside me
I can’t stand it to want you like I do
And when I say ‘I love you’, I mean it
uh huh
I’m not fooling around
I’m not fooling around
I’m not fooling around
I’m not fooling around
I’m not fooling around

YOU SHOT ME WITH THE MOON
If I was a river I would flow to your lips
If I was a slow dance baby I would sway on your hips
But I’m just a silly rabbit with a taste for your Trix™
And I love it when you dazzle and confuse me
You shot me with the moon
You flashed me with the sun
You rolled me in the ocean
You dropped me from a tree
You kissed me like a train
You shot me and I’m laughin’
If I was a flower I would bloom from your breath
If I was a rain drop baby I would get you all wet
But I’m just another loafer with my soul in a sweat
And I love it when you dangle and amuse me
You shot me with the moon
You flashed me with the sun
You rolled me in the ocean
You dropped me from a tree
You kissed me like a train
You shot me and I’m laughin’
But I hope the time will come
when I can shake the coldness in your heart
And let you feel the warmth of my embrace
And shatter your iron curtain
You shot me with the moon
You flashed me with the sun
You rolled me in the ocean
You dropped me from a tree
You kissed me like a train
You shot me and I’m laughin’
You shot me
You shot me with the moon

Barefoot Girl Walking By

BAREFOOT GIRL WALKING BY
We scatter like birds
We splatter like water on a grease fire
We battle with words
And fall down like poets in the cross fire
And those promises we made...
I want to believe in happy endings where the kiss is sweet
I want to look down and see glass slippers on my feet
But I’m way too wise and these glass slippers aren’t my size
So I’ll see this world like a barefoot girl walking by
The stars in the trees
Lit nights we were closer than secret
We turned with the leaves
And drifted like smoke into the sunset
And those promises we made...
I wanna to believe in happy endings where the kiss is sweet
I wanna look down at the ground and see
glass slippers on my feet
But I’m way too wise and these glass slippers aren’t my size
So I’ll see this world like a barefoot girl walking by
Princesses go by in carriages
I just wave and roll my pumpkin home
It’s torture ‘cause I love an orchestra
But when the clock strikes twelve
You dance alone
You dance alone
And those promises we made...
I wanna to believe in happy endings where the kiss is sweet
I wanna look down at the ground and see
glass slippers on my feet
But I’m way too wise and these glass slippers aren’t my size
So I’ll see this world like a barefoot girl walking by
Yeah, I’ll see this world like a barefoot girl walking by
