What Is An Ocean
You’re driving in the rain
I’m listening to Coltrane “Sentimental Mood”
‘Till you get here
Your hands are on the wheel
I’m thinking how they’ll feel
Up and down my skin when you get here
I need to be near you
The only way I’ll sleep is in your arms
I want to just touch you
I’ve waited for this moment for so long
What is an ocean?
Compared with devotion
What is this distance?
Along side a kiss
The headlights on your face
I wonder how you’ll taste
When I kiss your lips when you get here
Candles in my room
The scent of my perfume
Pressed against your skin when you get here
I need you
To feel you
So close your breath’s a whisper in my ear
I want you
To hold you so tight until the darkness disappears
What is an ocean?
Compared with devotion
What is this distance?
Along side a kiss
I need to be near you
The only way I’ll sleep is in your arms
I want to just touch you
I’ve waited for this moment for so long.

Queen Of Dramamine

The Queen of Dramamine
Me the Queen of Dramamine set sail for your rocky coast
Skim the shore and nothing more
A three hour tour at most
When you call yourself an angel, you invite temptation
Call yourself and island and you risk invasion
And what I have here is your footprints wet on my sand
I lied when I said I didn’t love you
I lied when I said I didn’t care
I tried just to stay afloat, not rock the boat, and then I fell in
And oh what a storm it’s been
Floating stars in jelly jars
I cast you my offerings.
Can I ride this changing tide?
Yeah, me and my water wings
When you call yourself a lover, then you want for pleasure
Call yourself a pirate and you lust for treasure
And what I have here is a map with no “X” anywhere
I lied when I said I didn’t love you
I lied when I said I didn’t care
I tried just to stay afloat, not rock the boat, and then I fell in
And oh what a storm it’s been
When you call yourself an angel, you invite temptation
Call yourself and island and you risk invasion
And what I have here is your footprints wet on my sand
I lied when I said I didn’t love you
I lied when I said I didn’t care
I tried just to stay afloat, not rock the boat, and then I fell in
And with your face on the horizon, it’s really not surprising
How dizzy I’ve been.

Teddy Take Me to the City
I drove my car like I stole it
Through the one light in this one horse town
With the radio dripping love songs like a thick grape Kool Aid™.
You gotta live like you mean it.
If you don’t, then you should just lie down.
I’m sick of watching the corn grow and die.
I need a back door exit.
Teddy, take me to the city.
I always thought that you were cute.
You told me once that I was pretty,
and you don’t have horse shit on your boots!
Teddy, take me down that highway.
You know we’ll never make it here.
For once just try to see it my way.
Let’s jump in your car and disappear.
We’re just a face in a yearbook.
I don’t want to die where I was born.
Can you hear it, the tick tick tick?
Man, that’s Big Ben yawning.
This scarecrow looks at me sideways.
He says, ‘Honey, better shake your birds.’
I said, “You don’t see me tied to no pole.
I got a good thing going”
Teddy, take me to the city.
I always thought that you were cute.
You told me once that I was pretty,
and you don’t have horse shit on your boots!
Teddy, take me down that highway.
You know we’ll never make it here.
For once just try to see it my way.
Let’s jump in your car and disappear.
Teddy, I like you, Teddy.
Drive faster, Teddy.
The night is getting clearer.
The zombies are getting nearer.
I see my mama in the rear view mirror,
But I can’t hear her.
For God’s sake, Teddy, blow the light.
The day you leave , that’s the day you arrive.
Sometimes surrender - that’s the way you survive.
You’ll find love again
They’ll be oxygen
You can follow your luck like an ice cream truck down a street that’s unfamiliar
To the sweetness at the end once you arrive.
The day you dream, that’s the day you’re awake.
Sometimes the future, that’s your only escape.
Keep the suitcase light.
Pack your lunch tonight.
You can follow a sandwich loosely to its logical conclusion,
And the bread will be alright once you’re awake.
And the day you leave, that’s the day you arrive
You know we’ll never make it here.
For once just try to see it my way.
Let’s jump in your car and disappear.

Say It
I’ve been waiting patiently
But I won’t anymore
I think you really care for me
But I’d like to know for sure
Say it
Say you’re mine.
It won’t be a habit
Just this time
Won’t you say it
Say it’s true.
How you’re thinking like I’m right for you.
Come on out and say it
You lead me on until I’m out in left field.
Your eyes are talking but your lips are sealed
And then you wonder how I still have my doubts.
Baby, you don’t let it out.
Stop being shy with me
Lay it on the line
Stop all this mystery. We’re wasting so much time
Say it
Say you’re mine.
It won’t be a habit
Just this time
Won’t you say it
Say it’s true.
How you’re thinking like I’m right for you.
Come on out and say it
I’m waiting for it every time that we leave
Don’t need a novel – keep it short and sweet
I wanna hear it when I’m holding you near
Breathe it softly in my ear
I’ve been waiting patiently
But I can’t anymore
I think you really care for me
But I need to know for sure
Say it
Say you’re mine.
It won’t be a habit
Just this time
Won’t you say it
Say it’s true.
How you’re thinking like I’m right for you.
Come on out and say it
Oh, come on out and say it
Oh, come on out and say it
Come on out and say it

The Other Half of my Soul
Not a day goes by that I’m not here thinking of you
Not a day goes by that I can say
That I’m not alive for the feel of being near you
Not a day goes by that I would change
I’ve had time on my own to think about it
I’ve had time all alone
I’m sure. I’m sure
Oh, I know you’re the other half of my soul
I recognize your eyes like they’re my own
Oh, I know you’re the other half of my soul
I saw you smile and sighed like I was home
Not a night goes by that I’m not here dreaming of you
Not a night goes by that I won’t say
That I’m so in love, and your touch is memories for me
Not a night goes by that I won’t save
I’ve had time on my own to think about it
I’ve had time all alone
I’m sure
I’m sure
Oh, I know you’re the other half of my soul
I recognize your eyes like they’re my own
Oh, I know you’re the other half of my soul
I saw you smile and sighed like I was home

When I close my eyes I see Scooter Pies™
When I close my eyes I see Scooter Pies™
Rongorongo
What can it be?
BIG FACE from outer space and you gaze across the sea
Rongorongo
What can I do?
I come tonight and share a bite of my Scooter Pie™ with you
When I close my eyes I see dragonflies
When I close my eyes I see dragonflies
Rongorongo
What can it be?
BIG FACE from outer space and you gaze across the sea
Rongorongo
What can I do?
I come tonight and take a flight on a dragonfly with you
When I close my eyes I see paradise
When I close my eyes I see paradise
Rongorongo
What can it be?
BIG FACE from outer space and you gaze across the sea
Rongorongo
What can I do?
I come tonight and climb the light to paradise with you
Took a glance - Glanced outside
Shook my head - Blinked my eyes
What I saw I can’t deny
Floating high – a Scooter Pie™
(A Scooter Pie..)
When I close my eyes I see Scooter Pies™
Yeah, when I close my eyes I see Scooter Pies™
BIG FACE!
BIG FACE!

Suicide by Snake
Gather ‘round - Gather ’round
Hear a story ‘bout a desert queen
Cleopatra – passion brought her to her knees
You know what I mean
Julius Caesar – he could please her
His empire was wide and long
He came, he saw, he conquered
And when he was gone - She was gone
Suicide by Snake
Just one hot night in the garden
And you’ll crave that cool, smooth skin
Maybe cobra - Maybe asp
Depends on the mood you’re in
It feels all right - It feels all right
‘till you feel the bite
Suicide by snake
Baby – you’re suicide
Can’t get your fangs outta my veins
No matter what I try, you got me crawlin’ on my hands and knees
‘round the temple like Indiana Jones
“Snakes, why’d it have to be snakes?”
It feels all right - It feels all right
‘till you feel the bite
Suicide by snake
Slither ‘round – slither ‘round
Hear a story ‘bout a girl named Eve
Tell me you love me, love me, love me, love me, love me, love me,
You know I’ll believe
I’ll take that bait, take a bite of that apple
I love what you do
Slither over my shoe
I won’t even get a little nervous when you say: “Trust me.”
Suicide by snake!
Suicide by snake!
Suicide by snake!

Monkey Dreams
I like the game face
Armani briefcase
Walk like a tall man walk
You got your acronyms
You got your synonyms
Talk like a smart man talk.
Boss is calling-Dow Jones is falling
And your heart’s nowhere near New York
Bananas in the trees And blue skies at sun - rise
Some sparkles in a stream. Gardenias on the breeze
And star -light at ‘good night’
Then nothing but monkey dreams
You take the monkey
He kinda funky
He living very well
He doesn’t need a lot
He got no coffee pot
He like the way things smell
When it’s raining, he not complaining
He just splash where the raindrops fell
Bananas in the trees and blue skies at sunrise
Some sparkles in a stream
Gardenias on the breeze
And starlight at ‘goodnight’
Then nothing but monkey dreams
With the clouds for his ceiling
There’s more room for big feelings
With the moonlight for his night light
He just spread his arms and fly
Guess evolution
Was no solution
It gave us doubt and fear
No monkey politics
No monkey rhetoric
That’s why his mind is clear
He found Nietzsche a little preachy, but Voltaire really quite sincere
Bananas in the trees and blue skies at sunrise
Some sparkles in a stream. Gardenias on the breeze
And starlight at ‘goodnight’.
Then nothing but monkey dreams
I wish you monkey. I wish you monkey.
I wish you nothing but monkey dreams.
Yes, I do
Blow a kiss and monkey dreams to you.

The Girl In Your Wallet

The Girl in Your Wallet
The girl in your wallet
The one near your Sears™ card
The picture-The blonde with the name
Has lost all her mystery
Has marched into history
Has lost her stake of claim
The big Hallmark™ greeting
A year, now this meeting
The question
You think I will
I said yes to dinner
Don’t ask for my picture
I don’t come out on film
I won’t be the girl in your wallet
For all the sun in Spain
For all the silk in China
For all the London rain
Not all the smiles in a camera
Or all the tears in church
I won’t be the girl in your wallet
Your wallet...
What’s it worth?
Is this all you wanted
I tried on my closet to come here
I don’t know why
I’m not still the head case
You dropped like a suitcase
For girls you had to try
Our glasses are empty
The checks here so tempt me
My portrait-The old romance
Your pocket won’t suit me
When I found my beauty
That’s when you lost your chance
I won’t be the girl in your wallet
For all the sun in Spain
For all the silk in China
For all the London rain
Not all the smiles in a camera
Or all the tears in church
I won’t be the girl in your wallet
Your wallet...
What’s it worth?

TOUJOURS
Nice, the sea should sail me to your shore
Et maintenant c'est toi que j'adore
C' était un bel été .
Now, as the summer slips away
You ask me if I'd ever stay
My friend I thought you knew
I don't always say how I feel
C'est difficile pour moi.
I'm shy in a way
But when I touch your hand,
I think I've loved this man always
J'espère que tu sais que c'est vrai.
Umm, those winter nights can be so long
Nous pouvons écrire des chansons…
something we could play
Then, maybe like a kiss or two
While I'm dancing close to you and put the song away
And I know you haven't heard those little words
Ils sont dans mon Coeur, mais jamais parle
But when I'm kissing' you
I feel like it's true
toujours --Je t'ai toujours aime
I don't always say how I feel
C'est difficile pour moi
I'm shy in a way
But when I brush your hand,
I think, I'll love this man always
J'espère que tu sais que c'est vrai.
Toujours (always)
Toujours (always)
Toujours (always)

Kama Sutra Rodeo
She’s a passionate girl I heard you say.
Then you licked your lips like Wile E. Coyote.
A passionate girl with a lot to say,
But it seems you listen with your eyes only.
Put away your Polaroid !
I’m a little bit annoyed in case you didn’t know.
Sorry ‘bout what might have been.
Guess I won’t be riding in your Kama Sutra Rodeo.
Kama Sutra Rodeo – maybe I don’t wanna go
‘Round and round and do si do and you don’t know me
So grab your horse and put him back
Don’t smile and tip your hat
Take a ride – no thank you jack – now you don’t know me
She’s a sensual girl I heard you say.
Then you tipped your hat and saddled your pony.
A sensual girl but not today.
Your bull don’t take 8 seconds to throw me.
Put away your Astro Glide!
You’re the one who’s dry inside in case you didn’t know.
Sorry ‘bout what might have been.
Guess I won’t be riding in your Kama Sutra Rodeo.
Kama Sutra Rodeo – maybe I don’t wanna go
‘Round and round and do si do and you don’t know me
I want to talk about Nietzsche, baby.
I want to ride’m like a Mustang into
The chaos and the constellations we could fly through.
You got to bring me to the Dew Point, baby.
Or should I tell you about the infield fly rule
So when you’re out at first base
You’ll know why, fool.
She’s a difficult girl I heard you say.
Then you scratched your head just like Barney Rubble.
A difficult girl with an easy way.
When you thought too easy you got in trouble.
Put away your Polaroid !
I’m a little bit annoyed in case you didn’t know.
Sorry ‘bout what might have been.
Guess I won’t be riding in your Kama Sutra Rodeo.
Kama Sutra Rodeo – maybe I don’t wanna go
‘Round and round and do si do and you don’t know me
So grab your horse and put him back
Don’t smile and tip your hat
Take a ride – no thank you jack
Now you don’t know me
Happy trails to you
