In ancient Greek mythology, ambrosia (Greek: ἀμβροσία) is sometimes the food or drink of the Greek gods (or demigods), often depicted as conferring ageless immortality upon whomever consumed it. It was brought to the gods in Olympus by doves, so it may have been thought of in the Homeric tradition as a kind of divine exhalation of the Earth.
Ambrosia is very closely related to the gods' other form of sustenance, nectar. The two terms may not have originally been distinguished; though in Homer's poems nectar is usually the drink and ambrosia the food of the gods; it was with ambrosia Hera "cleansed all defilement from her lovely flesh", and with ambrosia Athena prepared Penelope in her sleep, so that when she appeared for the final time before her suitors, the effects of years had been stripped away and they were inflamed with passion at the sight of her. On the other hand, in Alcman, nectar is the food, and in Sappho and Anaxandrides, ambrosia is the drink. When a character in Aristophanes' Knights says, "I dreamed the goddess poured ambrosia over your head—out of a ladle," the homely and realistic ladle brings the ineffable moment to ground with a thump.

Larry Carlton (born March 2, 1948, Torrance, California) is an American jazz, smooth jazz, jazz fusion, pop, and rock guitarist. He has divided his recording time between solo recordings and session appearances with various well-known bands. Over his career, Carlton has won four Grammy Awards for his performances and compositions, including performing on the theme song for the hit television series, Hill Street Blues (1981).
Carlton started learning to play guitar when he was six years old, studying under Slim Edwards near his Torrance home. Taking an interest in jazz while at high school, his playing style was influenced by Joe Pass, Wes Montgomery, Barney Kessel, and B.B. King. Saxophonist John Coltrane has also made a notable impression on Carlton, and Carlton's live albums have featured cuts from Miles Davis' Kind of Blue.
During the 1970s and early 1980s, Carlton was a session musician in Los Angeles, making up to five hundred recordings a year, including albums by Steely Dan, Joni Mitchell, Billy Joel, Michael Jackson, Quincy Jones, The Four Tops, Christopher Cross, Barbra Streisand, the Partridge Family, and Charly García's Clics Modernos. His guitar work on Steely Dan's "Kid Charlemagne" from their 1976 LP The Royal Scam has been listed as the third best guitar solo on record by Rolling Stone Magazine. From 1971 to 1976 he played with the jazz-rock group The Crusaders. In 1977 he signed with Warner Bros. Records for a solo career. In 1979 he played guitar on Michael Jackson's Off the Wall. Although still relatively unknown outside his fan-base, Carlton produced six albums from 1978 to 1984, during which his adaptation of Santo Farina's "Sleepwalk" climbed the pop and adult contemporary charts and his 1983 LP Friends garnered a Grammy nomination. In 1979, Carlton appeared on the Grammy award winning, self titled, debut album by Christopher Cross. Guitar great Eric Johnson also played on that same album.
James Ingram (born February 16, 1952, Akron, Ohio) is an American soul musician. He is best known as a vocalist. He is also a self-taught musician who plays piano, guitar, bass, drums and keyboards. Additionally, he is a producer and songwriter.
Born in 1952, Ingram lived with his mother and father until he was 10, then moved in with his grandmother.
In 1981, Ingram provided the vocals to "Just Once" and "One Hundred Ways" on Quincy Jones's album The Dude. He won a Grammy award for best R&B vocal performance for his work on this album. Ingram's debut album, It's Your Night, appeared in 1983, including the ballad "There's No Easy Way." He also worked with other notable R&B artists such as Ray Charles, Anita Baker, Viktor Lazlo, Nancy Wilson, Natalie Cole, and Kenny Rogers. In October, 1990, he scored a No. 1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 chart with the love ballad "I Don't Have the Heart", from his It's Real album.
But Ingram was best known throughout the decade for his hit collaborations. He went to No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in Feb. 1983 with Patti Austin on "Baby, Come to Me", a song made popular on TV's General Hospital. A second Austin–Ingram duet, "How Do You Keep the Music Playing?", was featured in the movie Best Friends and earned an Oscar nomination. A few years later, he won a 1985 Grammy Award for "Yah Mo B There", a duet with Michael McDonald. And he teamed up with Kenny Rogers and Kim Carnes for the Top 40 ballad "What About Me?" in 1984. In 1985, he participated in the charity single "We Are the World".
In the fields of sweet Ambrosia I've been told
You can sit down by the river and watch yourself unfold
You can drink right from the river
And purify your soul
Oh, Ambrosia, pour it sweet and slow
I need to be replenished, I need to overflow
Let my senses know your power, let your holy mix distill
Oh, Ambrosia, let my spirit drink it's fill
Oh, I've been like those people who need pain to feel alive
But now I'm kind of like a child who's been slowly reconciled
To waiting on the wisdom that he knows will soon arrive
In the hills above Ambrosia I have seen
A lovely place of mystery with meadows emerald green
And the colors of Ambrosia are as real as any dream
Just as real as any dream
Oh, Ambrosia, pour it sweet and slow
I need to be replenished, I need to overflow
Let my senses know your power, let your holy mix distill
A touch of poison seals my fate
The dawn echoes the night with my glory
The sun himself honors me
Once king of roses, now lord of gold
The gods themselves envy my hand
Blessed with the gift of gilded touch
Fate wields its knife to cut the thread
I curse the day my dream became my descent
Suddenly I long for you, my only love
In my perfection I have no want
Yet eyes still glint with greed untold
A folly as fatal as sin has now become the end of me
I curse the day my dream became my descent
Suddenly I long for you, my only love
Have I not earned this, the gift of beauty within?
How selfish were the gods to keep their riches from my rightful treasure
I truly have become one of them, my fatal flaw
Oh yeah, I've got her hook, line and sinker
Thanks to me, she's her own new necklace
Now she's good as gold
I curse the day my dream became my descent
Suddenly I long for you, my only love
Well I keep holdin' on to yesterday
I keep holdin' on enough to say
That I'm wrong
I keep thinkin' that I'm lonely
But it's only missin' you inside
Days that we were once together
Seems we'll never come alive
So I keep holdin' on to yesterday
I keep holdin' on enough to say
That it's wrong
Lord I don't know when I'll see You
I can't reach You anymore
If I'd only known I'd need You
Then I'd keep You like before
I keep holdin' on to yesterday
I keep holdin' on enough to say
That I'm wrong, wrong, wrong to keep holdin' on
(Puerta - Pack)
Sometimes I feel
That we've been herded like sheep
We've been led out like lambs to the slaughter
And empty souls
Have kept the downtrodden down
And took the best and left us the fodder
Still in my heart
I feel such purpose
A reason for being alive
And I want to know,
I want to know
Sometimes it seems
There was meant to be more
Than this rush and this battle to living
And there's the times
We've all tasted the space
That you know when we feel that we're giving
So take some time
to think about this
I'm blinded now, I'd like to see
And I want to know,
I want to know
I want to see through all the barriers
That were created before I was born
Were they put out there just to guide me
Or keep the weak from becoming strong
I want to know,
I want to know
Still in my heart
I feel such purpose
A reason for being alive
And I want to know
Sometimes I fear
That all men are asleep
(Puerta)
All This time
All This worry
All This way to go For nothin'
What's the sense
Of the hurry
You tell me If you Sense somethin'
I dreamed a lot when I was younger
I'm older now and still I hunger
For some understanding
There's no understanding, now
Was there ever?
One thin line
Draws the border
Between madness And the genius
But no pen can erase it
So we keep these things Between us
I dreamed a lot when I was younger
I'm older now and still I hunger
For some understanding
There's no understanding, now Was there ever?
(Puerta - Pack - North - Drummond)
Of man's progress I don't give a hoot
And man's estrangements Of nature's arrangements
Has given cause for my heartbreak To boot
The simple life though Filled with strife
And struggle with the land
Still remained its simple self
And that I understand
So city smog and dog eat dog
For some may hold sublime
Well as for me If I had my way
I'd had lived Some other time
Praise the prairie
And pass the cake
I'd like to eat it too
But being born now was my mistake
I've passed the buckaroo
I'd say
You're right
No chance Why fight?
Why be A cowboy star
(But) Hump back brahmas
Lovely cow mamas
Saw dust floor saloons
Dance hall queens Romanced in my dreams
So why pop my baloon?
No chance
Why fight?
Still in my own right
I'd be A cowboy star
Dreams of my life
Are so carried away
If just in my dreams
I could Be for one day
Just for one day
Lost in my dreams
I'll be riding away
like a cowboy star
Stage set: Sundown,
(Pack - Puerta - North - Drummond)
Until I met you baby
I only played with the band
But when I play my polonaise now
On my piano grand
I can't help but thinkin'
Of our first one night stand
When my precious hands were tinkling
On my little Georgie Sand
Come on and danse with me George
The pants you're wearing mama
And the cigar in your hand
Sorta put me off at first
I didn't understand
But now I love my vichy mama
I adore you and
I wouldn't ever leave you baby
For another man
Come on and danse with me George
You know your lips can spout quotations
But when your hips start their gyrations
They can thaw Valley Forge
Danse with me George
The memoirs of a mademoiselle
Far ahead of her time
Has left us all a legend
That's never gonna die
To say your ways were novel
Would be a lousy pun
But of late I've been feelig awful
I want to have me some fun
So come on
Put your pen aside baby
Come on
Your lips are driving me crazy
We could talk this out I'm sure
If you would just shut your mouth
So come on,
So come on,
da, da, da Danse with me george
Well your lips can spout quotations (Waltzin', minuet, mazurka)
But when your hips start their gyrations (Doin' it 'till we're beserka)
They could thaw Valley Forge
Danse with me George
LE DANSE
The legend that you leave us Is never gonna die.....
(Pack)
Think of the summer when I held you here
Everything was right
All the years we spent in love
Just to end one night
A lot of things are closin' in on me
She's gone and I'm in misery
There's no place that I can really be
Out into my own
So I'm runnin' away
I have got to be alone
I'm runnin' away
It makes no sense at all
Think of the summers when I held you here
All the dreams we'd planned
Afternoons we spent alone
I can't understand
A lot of things are closin' in on me
She's gone and I'm in misery
There's no place that I can really be
Out into my own
So I'm runnin' away
I have got to be alone
I'm runnin' away
It makes no sense at all
All I really want to know
What it is that makes love grow
Still inside me it remains
I never spend a day
Without wondering how I'll make it Alone...
So I'm runnin' away
I have got to be alone
I'm runnin' away It makes no sense at all
So I'm runnin' away
I have got to be alone
I'm runnin' away It makes no sense at all
So I'm runnin' away
I have got to be alone
(Drummond)
But if you can want love
You can hide
All the memories inside
And It won't take more Than you can give
Just to find a way to live
And As soon as you Can look around
There's a new love to be found
( Pack - Puerta )
Well, it's beginning to take hold
That I'm gettin' too old to act the fuckin' fool that I feel Maybe I'm just too lazy
To stop actin' crazy and past the point of playin' for real
But oh, it's makin' me
Old man, it's sure takin' its toll
Can't put on the brakes yet
Got the pedal to the floor
But man you ain't a kid you ain't a kid, no more
Well now I'm pushin' thirty but my legs are sturdy
And ready to run like hell
But I'd rather be racin' 'round
While she's busy face down In my 450 S.E.L.
But whoa, little lady don't ask for my I.D.
Don't wanna know, no I don't
Gettin' all the lovin' now I never had before
But kid you ain't a kid you ain't a kid, no more
Yeah, when you feel this way
Well you get your kicks and lovin' nearly every day
Yeah, when he feels this way
Then he knows what he wants and he takes what he gets And he...
I need a shot like a trigger from a potion in a jigger
To keep my motor razor clean
I might start actin' funny but don't worry honey
Just lay back and service my machine
I may be older but the grape gets sweeter
The longer that it's on the vine
You got no right in what you're thinkin'
After doin' what you did
Kid you ain't a kid you ain't a kid, no more
(Drummond - Pack - Puerta - Bernstein****)
Home life, seems you're gettin'
Mad 'n' nothin's gettin' done
Old ties, that held you back
Have got you on the run
It's do or die, it's time to fly
Tearin' up all the old news
Put down the trash we used to take
Now, we'll leave it for the next
Fool to go, hope you know, it was almost real
Don't need no one
'Cause I got my own
I don't need nothin' at all
Nothin's gonna change the world
No handouts from your kind
Oh my, it's time we found a way to
Turn our heads around
No time, before they put our bodies underground
All right, okay, we're gonna pay
Blown-out, my brains are blistered
No doubt, it's been two-fisted fate
Now I'm border-linin' straight from this show
To some hole where we'll lay real low...
Make my own world
I'm on my own and I don't need that world at all
Runnin' from an angry crowd
No escape from your kind
Ice age, the wind is chilly
And the sun is almost gone
Mad race, is growin' cold and your life's gettin' on
No time to stop, your number's up
Make my own world
I'm on my own and I don't need that world at all
Runnin' from an angry crowd
(pack - puerta)
Babe, it took a long, long time to get it out this way
Now, that the hurtin's over all I've got to say
(is) that I know
Sure as I am living
It takes more than forgiving
'cause it ain't been easy
I know you did your best to please me
How can you love me,
After all the years we've tried
After all the tears you've cried
After our love has died
Babe, I've seen some pretty faces everywhere I go
I say now
Maybe I ain't the same person that you used to know
But I know
In my heart I'm livin'
For the love you've given
And the foolish thing about it
Is that I thought I'd live without it
How can you love me
When you know I've been with someone else
And I ain't too happy with myself
But I keep on comin' back around
Ooh, sometimes it feels like I'm gone forever
(I'm gone forever)
Ooh, it gets so hard to wait
(it gets hard to wait)
Ooh, we're far away and it ain't gettin' better
Well, I know that somethin' is surely wrong
(Puerta - Pack - Drummond - Lewis***)
Ain't nobody out there, just me and you
It's one on one, just we two
I got somethin' like a heartbeat
Only you control
And I'm up as far as I can bear to go
This is the road so welcome home
Where nothing real abounds
There is no reason we must wait
Let's take these pleasures now
Now...
Ain't nobody out there gonna disagree
We're all hiding something under lock 'n' key
You don't like it but you just can't stop
(But) keep your screws on tight
We'll undo all that's been done to you tonight
This is the place it all begins
There's no time to back down
There is no reason to pretend
Just take these pleasures now
(Pack)
Where do you think you're goin'?
Dressin' like some evening tramp?
What do you think you're doin'?
Well, you got them talkin' behind my back
It must be something I can't relate
It's enough to drive a man from his mind
So get back home before it's too late
How could you up and just walk out of my life?
I can't let a woman like you get to my head
I can't let a woman like you get to my head
What do you think you're doin' ?
Well I told you not to leave anymore
Where do you think you're going?
Come on, get your fingers off of that door
It must be something I can't relate
It's enough to drive a man from his mind
So get back home before it's too late
How could you up and just walk out of my life?
I can't let a woman like you get to my head
I can't let a woman like you get to my head
I've waited all my life
For someone like you
Waited all my life
Is there something that I could do...
I can't let a woman like you get to my head
I can't let a woman like you get to my head

When you're in the shape I'm in,
It's tellin' me somethin',
It's givin' me warning
It's gotta be rough, man,
When you're in the shape I'm in
From all of your lies
You left me cryin';
Didn't know where I could turn to
You said you loved me
And you turned your back on me, girl
And I believed in all your lies
You took my heart and soul,
And now the pain won't go
When you're in the shape I'm in,
It's tellin' me somethin',
It's givin' me warning
It's gotta be rough, man,
When you're in the shape I'm in
From all of your lies
Was I the one man
That you said you'd always stand by
But when the hard times came,
You left without a goodbye
Was I a fool to let you go?
How can I feel alive
When I just feel like dyin'
Can't you see I'm a man who's cryin'?
You took my heart and soul,
And now the pain won't go no
Shape I'm in
From all of your lies
Was I a fool to let you go?
How can I feel alive
When I just feel like dyin'
Shape I'm In
(Pack)
When I can't count on no one else and nothin' seems true Then I begin to doubt mvself and I come to you
You've cried with my disappointments
And laughed at my lies
Showed me the way to live again and I realize
I realize
That I'm feelin' alive again
Feelin' like a real man
Feelin' alive again
Feelin' like a real man
Babe, tell me what you do
To make every single dream come true
You give it all and now I'm givin' it back to you
Wherever we may choose to live the rest of our lives
If this is the best that we can give you know it's all right There may be expectations that we hold inside
As long as we live up to this love we'll be all right
'Cause I'm feelin' alive again
Feelin' like a real man
Feelin' alive again
Feelin' like a real man
You know that I do feel about you
You know that I do feel about you
Maybe it's all behind us now, we're not so far
To find everything we need somehow right where we are There are no hesitations, only the way
To live inside your love again
And here I will stay
Here I will stay
'Cause I'm feelin' alive again
Feelin' like a real man
Feelin' alive again
(Puerta)
Have mercy on a fool like me
My eyes were open but I just couldn't see
The way the world works without honesty
Honestly, I was blind
When all my heroes have been laid to rest
And all my idols I have come to possess
And I'm still looking for some true happiness in my heart
Nothing here is certain
We chase a shadow of our own dream's design
And wonder why it takes so long
And wonder just where we went wrong
We hold a candle in the wind to light our way
Go lightly in your judgement please
I didn't know the world was filled with such greed
I'm only asking let your heart intercede
And I know they still exist
They say you learn something new every day
I want to learn to forget all this dismay
At finding out the way that some folks play
Only they's gonna win ...
Nothing here is sacred
The golden calf we worshipped has fallen from its shrine And left us standing here stranded
Our only hope's to abandon
These foolish dreams that we've pursued for far too long
(Pack)
The season of life is here
And the reason to live is clear
We've waited 'till who knows when
For the time to begin again
It's more than the change of time
It's something that's in all our minds
That no matter where or when
For endings are only
Places where all things begin
And the end is near
Of things we have grown to fear
We worry and reason why
With the times that change our lives
But more than the changing time
Is the image in all our minds
Of where it should be or when
For endings are always
Places where all things begin
Oh, look at the sun
On every stage, in everyone
Ah, stand in the light
As we get on, we will put up a fight

She got a heart of steel
She don't care how I feel
But nothin' warms the chill
When I'm livin' on my own
She keep my mind in worry
She left my vision blurry
Left me in a hurry
Now I'm livin' on my own
Baby, when you left me here,
I was so alone and full of fear
Thought that I would be all right,
But it's hard to last these lonely nights
Thought that I quit carin'
When we both stopped sharin'
The pain is hard to bear
When I'm livin' on my own
She came into my life
She kept all my dreams alive
Baby, when you left me here,
I was so alone and full of fear
Thought that I would be all right,

I've heard them say the war is over
But here am I, out flyin' again
Who knows if I'm wrong or right
But when time has ended this flight,
This koan of life will be at an end
When you're a kamikaze
Fly more from inspiration than for joy
Though they think I'm crazy,
I'm really just an ordinary boy
I've heard them say that life is easy
Then why am I at zero again?
I drink from the sake cup
I leave when the rising sun's up,
And take my fate and fear to the skies
When you're a kamikaze
Fly more from inspiration than for joy
Think I'm crazy,
May be just an ordinary boy
've heard them say the war is over
But here am I, out flyin' again
Who knows if I'm wrong or right

Well I gotta catch a plane
Check on out of L.A.
To somewhere I've never travelled
I'm on my way Yeah, I'm ready
So , sit back in your chair,
'Cause I'll be there soon
Don't get too unraveled,
Just kick off your shoes
Keep your head on steady
You gave me the feelin'
And the love I need to go on
And I won't let you down
'Cause I'm ready right now
You gave me the feelin'
And the love I need to go on

Of a house full of hell
And I'm lucky to be here
With something to tell
Glad those days are behind me
Oh yes I am
Well, the odds are against me,
But I've still got the fight
I've learned the hard way
Of doin' it right
Now I'm ready
I said you gave me the feelin'

Sometimes I think about the only way
That I'll ever see life beyond L.A. is dying
I sit in the corner of a hotel room
With a room service menu and I'm looking at the moon,
I'm crying
I'm out here waiting, praying, trying to keep from sayin'
That I don't miss you, though I do
You've got me shaking, praying, trying to keep from sayin'
That I don't miss you, though I do,
You know I do...
Livin' out here you soon come to know
That it ain't how good you are as much as who you know and how you fake it
Working this dive it's a matter of time
'Cause I'm a good lead player got a way with a line
And I can make it
And when the day breaks dawn
Something is in my room
When all my faith is gone
Something begets my gloom
I'm out here waiting, praying, trying to keep from sayin'
That I don't miss you, though I do
You've got me shaking, playing, trying to keep from sayin'
That I don't miss you, though I do
Well, you know I do.
Yes.I do
Sometimes I think about the only time

Someone talks about a road
At the end find life's gold
I went out to get a drink of water
But I saw an ocean far away
I thought of how much beyond awaits me
Foolishly I turned my head the other way
Do you like where you're livin' at?
I'm not happy inside
You could build a golden house
Yeah but still I'm sad inside
I set out on a long and lonely journey
And travelled through some strange and distant lands
And many times I thought I'd found life's meaning
But it slipped away like water in the sand
Do you like where you're livin' at?
I'm not happy inside
You could build a golden house
And still I'm sad inside
One summer storm, I'm waitin' for the sun
One summer storm, I've waited so long
Waited so long Yeahhhhhhhh!
In our lives, we've all drank of the water
Heard the ocean callin' out our names
Some will seek and find their life's meaning
(Drummond)
Lookin' for affection
Look in my direction
Honey, don't you hesitate
You say you're such a young girl
Livin' in a rough world
Let me try and ease your pain
But someone's cryin' in the rain
Someone's cryin' out loud
Someone's callin' your name
Someone's callin' it now
It's madness
Baby Look into the madness
Girl, don't let your sadness
Keep your love away right now
How I'd like to hold you
Things I'd like to show you
Can I get to you somehow?
But someone's cryin' in the rain
Someone's cryin' out loud
Someone's callin' your name
Someone's callin' it now
It's madness
Baby, the rain it keeps on fallin'
Who in the world will stop the rain
Baby, the rain it keeps on fallin'
Who in the world will stop the rain
Lookin' for affection
Look in my direction
Honey, don't you hesitate
(Girl) You say you're such a young girl
Livin' in a rough world
Let me try and ease your pain
Someone's cryin' in the rain (Cryin' in the rain)
Someone's cryin' out loud
Someone's callin' your name (Callin' your name)
Someone's callin' it now
(Sunrise)
There's a new sun arisin'
(In your eyes)
I can see a new horizon
(Realize)
That will keep me realizin'
You're the biggest part of me
(Stay the night)
Need your lovin' here beside me
(Shine the light)
Need you close enough to guide me
(For all my life)
I've been hopin' you would find me
You're the biggest part of me
Well, make a wish, baby
Well, and I will make it come true
Make a list, baby
Of the things I'll do for you
Ain't no risk, now
In lettin' my love rain down on you
So we could wash away the past
So that we may start a new
(Rainbow)
Risin' over my shoulder
(Love flows)
Gettin' better as we're older
(All I know)
All I want to do is hold her
She's the life that breathes in me
(Forever)
Got a feelin' that forever
(Together)
We are gonna stay together
(For better)
For me, there's nothin' better
You're biggest part of me
Well, make a wish, baby
Well, and I will make it come true
Make a list, baby
Of the things I'll do for you
Ain't no risk, now
In lettin' my love rain down on you
So we could wash away the past
So that we may start anew
More than an easy feelin'
She brings joy to me
How can I tell you
What it means to me?
Flow like a lazy river
For an eternity
I've finally found someone
Who believes in me
And I'll never leave
Oh, not to doubt now
Make life grand
Well, make a wish, baby
Well, and I will make it come true
Make a list, baby
Of the things I'll do for you
Ain't no risk, now
In lettin' my love rain down on you
So we could wash away the past
So that we may start a new
(Beside me)
Need your lovin' here beside me
(To guide me)
Keep it close enough to guide me
(Inside of me)
From the fears that are inside of me
You're the biggest part of me
(Forever)
Got a feelin' that forever
(Together)
We are gonna stay together
(Forever)
From now until forever
You're the biggest part of me
You're the life that breathes in me
You're the biggest part of me
You changed my life
You made it right
And I'll be a servant to you
For the rest of my life

Heart to heart
Soul to soul
Feeling lost
Everywhere I go
Love to love
Or hold to hold
Choose your cost
Be it pain or Be it gold
Ain't there nothin' In this world You can count on?
Ain't there nothin' In this world to believe?
Save a gypsy's song When she's singin'
With a violin sweet?
Heart to heart
Soul to soul
Feeling lost
Everywhere I go
If only, my love,
You would try, love,
You could reach me
Long enough to teach me
All in time,love,
Will we find love
But it taunts me
You don't seem to want me
Why does your love haunt me
Everywhere I go?
Heart to heart
Soul to soul
Feeling lost
Everywhere I go,

Art beware. its all been done
There's nothing new under the sun
Yeah
What a waste of my time
So take heed of all new schemes
Just variations on old themes
Yeah
How could I be so blind?
It's sad when you've got it down to a pat thing
Sad thing is all you'll have
It's sad when you've got it down to some sure thing
Sure thing but it's old hat
Art beware. it's all been done
There's nothing new under the sun
(critic's chorus):
"Haven't we heard your song
Yeah Somewhere else before, son?
That was nice, good try son, but...
(Puerta-Pack)
You come alive at quarter to three
You make haste for a taste
In the parking lot of misery
So down it goes, And up goes your need
So you're fine for the time.
But you're on the line, Not in between
What can this stuff do to me?
Apothecary, some more of the same today
Fills that need
You're late again for chemistry class
You were up in the lab
With your chemical head in a flask
The truth is though, Your mind is a mess
You've just taken a dose
Now you're comatose in Pandora's chest
How could I do this to me?
Apothecary, oh please, where's the antidote?
For me
Looking for ways you can let it out
Sleep in the days, for tonight you'll roam about
Pull all the stops; you begin to shout
Life's a big dream and you sleep
'Till you come out
Come out
Fill my need,
Apothecary
Fill my need,
(Pack)
Whatever it is you need, better take what you can to feed it
In a world of hunger and greed lives a heart thats truly bleedin'
Now the question of me and you is just remainin' a mystery
I guess it just goes to prove that you never really did love me
So you might just ask your mama
If that's the way it should be
Well, you might just ask your conscience
If I left you or you left me
Well, you say that you want somebody
Who's gonna treat you like a queen
When you don't even have the time of day
For the things that mean a lot to me
I hoped that we'd piece it together
And put an end to the misery
But these things take forever,
And it never did occur to me
That you might go home to mama
And that's the way it'd be
Well, you might just ask your conscience
If I left you where you left me
You left me dancin' by myself Dancin' by myself
And I can't find no one else
Can't find no one else
You left me dancin' by myself Dancin' by myself
And I don't want no one else Yeah Dancin', Dancin'
So you might just ask your mama
If that's the way it should be
You might just ask your conscience
If I left you where you left me
You left me dancin' by myself Dancin' by myself
And I can't find no one else
Can't find no one else
You left me dancin' by myself Dancin' by myself

Hurry up, get along, be on your way
And make sure that your certain
It's not the wrong day
Punctual people are lost in their plight
To become unprecedented when they arrive
Why am I searching and when will I know?
Are the years that I've waited with nothing to show?
I'm ready to listen I'm ready to win
But I can't wait much longer before we begin
Time waits for no-one
Time waits for no-one No-one,No-one
There's time to conceive in and time to expire
Though the time 'twixt the two tells the tale that transpires So why must we continually disturb the universe
With decisions and revisions which a minute will reverse
So people don't worry 'bout where you've gone wrong Cause you know if you hurry it takes twice as long
Relax and forget about what's to be done, it's time to have fun
Time waits for no-one
Time waits for no-one
It really doesn't matter much to me
(Vonnegut Jr. - Puerta - Pack - North - Drummond)
Oh a sleeping drunkard Up in Central Park
Or the lion hunter In the jungle dark
Or the Chinese dentist Or the British Queen
They all fit together In the same machine
Nice, nice, very nice
Nice, nice, very nice
So many people in the same device
Oh a whirling dervish And a dancing bear
Or a Ginger Rogers and a Fred Astaire
Or a teenage rocker Or the girls in France
Yes, we all are partners in this cosmic dance
Nice, nice, very nice
Nice, nice, very nice
So many people in the same device
I wanted all things to make sense
So we'd be happy instead of tense
Oh a sleeping drunkard Up in Central Park
Or the lion hunter In the jungle dark
Or the Chinese dentist Or the British Queen
They all fit together In the same machine
Nice, nice, very nice
Nice, nice, very nice
So many people in the same device

Pale to the mountains my existence seems
Sad as the cry of my unanswered dreams
Long have I waited for time to make clear
All of the reasons that I must be here
But I won't care If you are there
Make us all aware
Drawn by the river we watch as it flows
Wanting to taste of the wisdom it holds
Knowing that somewhere our fortunes we'll find
But fortunes are something we hold in our minds
We could share All that's there
Make us all aware
Seeking an answer yet harboring fear
That the day that it comes I'll no longer be here
(Puerta-Pack)
I was living in Angola,
Reading in the paper
'Bout the new depression
Got the States upset
Still, I just can't see
How only one TV
And two slightly used cars
Causes such regrets
In this country such as ours,
If we had these things,
We would either be European
Or descend from kings
Oh! Sometimes, you know,
I hunger for more than food,
For more than the shelter
From the cold monsoons
I'd like swimmin' pools
And refrigerated air
And an extra room to spare
(No more ten to a room),
And a thinking color set
With a close-up zoom
But in this country such as ours,
If we had these things,
We'd be a U.N. delegation
Or a visiting queen
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
And you remember well
The day when old Wall Street fell
And do you fear it again?
Still there is one major difference
In just how we see some things
What you call poor we call prosperity
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Ooh! Sometimes, you know,
I hunger for more than food,
For more than the shelter
From the cold monsoons
I'd like swimmin' pools
And refrigerated air
And an extra room to spare
(No more ten to a room),
And a thinking color set
With a close-up zoom
But in this country such as ours,
If we had these things,
We'd be a U.N. delegation
Or a visiting queen
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

I'm 'bout ready for Camarillo
My head is goin' fast
I'm like some ship out on the ragin' sea
That's losin' its mainmast
Can't find my direction
My thoughts are so confused
My problem's that there is no easy way
To heal the soul that's been abused
Sought to find the diff'rence
Between ghosts and reality
But who can tell me what's my name,
I mean, what is really me?
In my dreams, it seems so simple,
Such an easy way to be
I'm gonna lose myself in someone else
Just to find that way to me,
Find that way to me
Yeah, in my dreams, it seems so simple,
Such an easy way to be
I'm gonna lose myself in someone else
Just to find that way to me,
Find that way to me
Lord Just about ready
Yeah, just about ready
Can you hear me now
I'm ready I'm about ready
Baby Come Back
(John C. Crowley/Peter Becke)
Spending all my nights. all my money going out of the town
Doing anything just to get you off of my mind
But when the morning comes and I"m back where I started again
Trying to forget you is just a waste of time
Chorus:
Baby come back
Any kind of fool could see
There was something in everything about you
Baby come back
You can blame it all on me
I was wrong and I just can't live without you
All day long wearing a mask of false bravado
Trying to keep up a smile that hides a tear
But as the sun goes down I get that empty feeling again
How I wish to God that you were here
(Chorus)
Now that I've pulled it up all together
Give me the chance to make you see
Have you used up all the love in your heart
Is there nothing left for me, is there nothing left for me
But if you can want love, you can hide
All the memories inside
And it won't take more than you can give
Just to find a way to live
And as soon as you can look around
(Pack)
Oh baby
Say, now, you
You talk about The things I do
But baby, I yeah,
I'll try 'n' explain the reasons why
'Cause I've been thinkin' 'bout the things
That we said late last night,
When every word I said
Just didn't come out right,
And you were so afraid
That I'd found someone new
But darlin', well, there's no need
For what we're goin' through
Because you and I've been in love too long
To worry 'bout tomorrow
Here's a place where we both belong
I know you're the only woman that I'm dreamin' of
You're the only woman that I really love
Baby, see what a foolish heart has done for me
Darlin', why yeah would you break my heart and make me cry?
Well now, you can't go back and change the way things are,
And all this foolish talk won't take us very far
And so I hope you're list'nin' 'cause I'm tellin' you
About the, the way I feel and what I'm goin' through
Because you and I've been in love too long
To worry 'bout tomorrow
Here's a place where we both belong
I know you're the only woman that I'm dreamin' of
You're the only woman that I really love
Oh Don't speak Ssshh
When the pain of love surrounds you
And the world may be unkind
I'll put my lovin' arms around you
Take you far from this place and time
Because you and I've been in love too long
To worry 'bout tomorrow
Here's a place where we both belong
I know you're the only woman that I'm dreamin' of
You're the only woman that I really love
You're the only woman You're the only woman
I know you're the only woman You're the only woman

I've never been a thief, but I won't say I'll never steal
I've never been a star, but that doesn't mean I don't appeal I always read the Bible, but too seldom do I kneel
Well I disregard the writing and I play just what I feel
So what do I care?
Why should I care?
All I really want is something more than you can order From a telephone, if they call I'm not at home
So write it off as another loss
And let the world leave me alone
Let the world leave me alone
I've been a truthful man, but I won't say I've never lied
I've always had a plan, but somehow it never was applied Never got my share of lovin', I've always been denied
I ain't greedy, but I aim to take what rightfully is mine
All I really want is something that I do not have to share Hide it under lock and key so they'll never see
Or they'll never know
And let someone else be responsible
And let the world leave me alone
People try to tell me I'm a dreamer
Wastin'everybody else's time
Movin' all around I'm just a schemer
Gettin' into everybody's way
Let the world leave me alone
Let the world leave me alone
Let the world leave me alone

Leaping quick on leopard's back
I face the brunt of his attack
In the land of nod I'm king
Until the alarm clock rings
Stepping out from safety's door
I hear the rushing traffic roar
Smiling to myself I say,
"...Hooray its a brand new day"
Slashing my way through vine
I'll kill if I have to
I'll be there on time
Clawed through the freeway jam
I curse at the guy who passed me
Last time 'round
In my office settled back
Drink a cup of coffee (black)
Stretch my mind and try'n erase
The thought of the day to face
Life is like the leopard's den
And once you find you've fallen in
A safari of the heart
Surely comes to an end
Madness is our damnation
Strange is the situation we're all in
To one man it matters nothing
Others it shatters something; no one wins
I could not see it myself (Though I'd read about it)
I could not hear it myself (Though I'd heard about it)
I could not feel it myself (Though I knew that it was real)
I could not hear it myself (Don't you lie about it)
I could not feel it myself (But don't you cry about it)
For there's an animal in us all
Well I don't know how this whole business started
Of you thinkin' that I have been untrue
But if you think that we'd be better parted
It's gonna hurt me but I'll break away from you
Well just give me the sign and I will be gone
Yeah....
That's how much I feel
Feel for you baby
How much I need
I need your touch
How much I live
I live for your lovin'
That's how much
That's how much
That's how much
That's how much
Ooh,
Sleep alone and late at night I'm dreamin'
Of the togetherness that seems to be leavin' me
Oh no!
I'd give it all and then I'd, give some more
If you would only love me like you had before
Oh, take hold of my hand
And all will be forgiven
That's how much I feel
Feel for you baby
How much I need
I need your touch
How much I live
I live for your lovin'
That's how much
That's how much
That's how much
That's how much
So you try
Try to stay in the middle
And then you cry
Well you cry just a little
Then we both realize
Just how foolish you may have been
Ooh, And you try to make amends
But your better off as friends
'Cause that's how much
That's how much
That's how much
That's how much
Ooh......
How's your life been goin' on?
I got a wife now, years we've been going strong
Oh no!
There's just something that I got to say
Sometimes when we make love
I still see your face
Ooh.....
Just try to recall when we were as one
yeah....
That's how much I feel
Feel for you baby
How much I need
I need your touch
How much I live
I live for your loving
That's how much
That's how much

Well, I'm livin' but I still ain't satisfied
I'm runnin' but I don't know where to hide
There have been lovers, places I've known
Strangers I've turned to when I've been alone
And I'm leavin' 'cause I'm still not satisfied
Yeah, I'm bleedin' and I don't know where to hide
There have been places I'd like to have seen
Dreams that have never come true
But in this lifetime there's no in between
In between living with you
I've been shot down but still I stand to fight
I know what's wrong but I don't know what's right
'Cause all of your money, sweet talk and gold
Can't buy a heart back that's already sold
And I'm leaving 'cause I still ain't satisfied
Yeah, I'm bleedin' and I don't know where to hide
I have no reason to go back again
Living but not getting through
'Cause in this lifetime there's no in between
In between living with you
Ain't found nothing to rely on
No place I feel at home
Show me something to get by on
Seems I've waited so long
I don't hear what you say anymore

SOMEWHERE I'VE NEVER TRAVELLED
THAT'S WERE IV'E BEEN TODAY
SOMEWHERE BEYOND ALL REASON

I COULD FIND IT SOMETHING INSIDE OF ME
I CAN FIND IT
SOMEPLACE I'VE ALWAYS DREAMED OF
THAT'S WHAT I FINALLY SEE
AND WHEN I'M THERE I FEEL LOVE
SO THERE I ALWAYS WANT TO BE
I BELIEVE IT
BELIEVE IN MYSELF
I HAVE SEEN IT

HEARING A VOICE THAT IS CALLING
WITHIN YOU TO RISE

I AM WAITING
WAITING TO TAKE YOU THERE NO MORE WAITING
It's a fine time to be askin' for charity
We've got babies cryin'
The well's run dry
Hardly make enough to make ends meet or keep on the heat
And you want me to talk about it
Like it's up to me to choose
Whether my voice counts I doubt it
You won't see my face on the evening news
Sky is fallin'

(Tell me, what can I do?)
World is callin'

Where can I turn?, ain't got a clue

Sky is fallin'
Time has come
(And I've got bills to pay)
Tomorrow's calling
(I've gotta live today, live today)
It's a hard drive home
Round the corner from the condo town
Living' next to five types of violence
It's enough just to bring you down, gonna mess you 'round
(Mess you 'round)
And you want me to bend over
To pull the rich man's plow
Yeah, that's the way it's always been
Why should anybody wanna change it now
Sky is fallin'
(I don't understand)
(Tell me, what am I to do?)
World is callin'

I've gotta live today, live today, yeah
Wooh
I've gotta live, live
(Ohh)
And you don't know why or when it's gonna be
(But you heard it's out there waiting)
(Ohh)
Do you pull up stakes and leave or wait and see
If it's a false alarm?
There's an outside chance
Ohh, we could win it in overtime
But the clock is running, night is comin'
If you're gonna save yourself, better get off the dime
Sky is fallin'
(Sky is fallin')
(Tell me, what do I do?)
World is callin'

I've waited twice as long as any man should
To tell you how I feel
You gathered in my chosen words
And ground them underneath your heel
I asked you for a bit of time,
A little breathin' space
But your gift to me was
A rock n' a hard place,
Rock n' a hard place (Leaves a man no place to go),
Rock n' a hard place (Ain't no room for love to grow),
Rock n' a hard place, Rock n' a hard place
I laid too high a stake on lovin' you, babe,
To let you say goodbye
How could you think I'd last alone?
I can't go on. There's no use tryin'
I'm askin' for a second chance,
A little savin' grace
You're leavin' me between
A rock n' a hard place,
Rock n' a hard place (Leaves a man no place to go),
Rock n' a hard place (Ain't no room for love to grow),
Rock n' a hard place, Rock n' a hard place
Won't you tell me why
You're leavin' tonight
Throwin' our love away?
Don't you see my plight?
It just isn't right
To be left this way
I've waited twice as long as any man should
To tell you how I feel
You gathered in my chosen words
And ground them underneath your heel
I asked you for a bit of time,
A little breathin' space
But your gift to me was
A rock n' a hard place,
Rock n' a hard place (Leaves a man no place to go),
Rock n' a hard place (Ain't no room for love to grow),
Rock n' a hard place, Rock n' a hard place

When you've had enough of trouble,
Had it up to here,
Your mind can't help but wandering
To some place gonna get you clear
You've had enough of misery
You've gotta find you somethin' new
And I'd be gone in a wink
If I thought I could think
Of some place gonna get me through
Tryin' to find some breathin' room,
A little peace from your case of blues,
It's hard to cut the ties that hold you,
Get the lead out of your shoes
You've had enough of misery
You've gotta find you some new clue
And I'd be gone in a wink
If I thought I could think
Of some place gonna get me through
Not as you were
You really don't need that
You tried it out
It just didn't work
Not as you were
Really don't need that
Not as you were, were...
Oh, if I had some relief
Get me out of the rain and the cold
Then, I'd be down on my knees
Giving thanks for the peace
All right
When you've had enough of trouble,
Had it up to here,
Your mind can't help but wandering
To some place gonna get you clear

Rock it and roll!
You know it's easy to say,
"Get out and go your own way,"
But baby, why don't you just stay all night?
You're such a sweet young roller skater
And I could easily see you later
If you'd just tell me that it's all right
Because you can make love for the first time
You can be yourself, it ain't no crime
You can walk around on such a fine line
Anything you want to, baby
That's all right with me
If that's the way you feel
It ain't no big deal
I am a rock 'n' roller
And if I get much older
They're gonna bury me with my guitar
I wanna live and believe
I wanna give and receive
And baby, you're the one that'll make me a star
Well now, you can walk around with trashy clothes on
And you can love a man and make him feel strong
You can numb yourself until the pain's gone
You can tag along and, baby,
Nothin's wrong by me
If that's the way you feel
Ain't no big deal
I said oh when you tease me
I said oh baby, now you please me, please me!
Oh yeah
Well now, you can make love for the first time
You can be yourself, it ain't no crime
You can walk around on such a fine line
Anything you want to, baby
That's all right with me
If that's the way you feel
Ain't no big deal

You are wearing a disguise
It reveals you when you cry
Does it hurt you when you try?
Can I help you?
Could I reach you?
Tell me now because
We need you too
Don't let worries be
Oh your walls against your being
You can climb them
What's beyond is surely worth your seeing
You are wearing a disguise
It reveals you when you cry
Does it hurt you when you try?
Can I help you?
Could I reach you?
Tell me now because
My mama don't understand
She's impossible to the core
Now she says that she's gettin' married
He's a friend of a friend of the boy next door
He's got all of the best intentions
Half of a school degree
When he does his song and dancin'
They know they can be happy as the shows on TV
She needs a change, she wants a life
Where she can grow and they can thrive
Some kind of space of her own
A different view, another slant
Another way, another chance
To get on with her life
(Mama she don't understand)
Mama she don't
She don't even know
She don't know
She don't understand
She's gotta know
If she can cut life on her own
But like the man says
"You can never go home again"
You gotta come see the new place
Mom, you're gonna feel right at home
Could you just front that deposit
Mama, we'll pay you back when the welfare check comes
Nothin's gone as expected
No one knows all the trouble we've seen
But we'll pull ourselves together
It's the two of us now, of course, baby makes three
A little luck, an even break
We'll find a way to have our cake
And even eat a piece or two
We'll show you how
We're winnin' now
We'll live it up
Can't keep 'em down
She don't understand me
Don't understand me
So mama, please understand
(Mama, please understand)
If it's possible, we implore
Could we just move in these few things
We won't get in the way and we'll sleep on the floor
'Cuz, times have been getting tougher
(Times have been getting tough)
It's an unfriendly world outside
They say things will pick up by summer
Can we borrow the car, will you watch little Clyde
Thanks a lot
Mama don't understand
Mama don't understand me
Mama don't understand
Mama don't understand me
(Mama don't understand me)
(Mama don't understand me, no)
Mama don't understand
She don't understand me
(Mama don't understand me)
Here I am, turning one more page of timeOnce again, I need something to ease my mindAnd though I pray, I don't believe the words I sayanymore to my GodStill I call out your name
I'm still here, I don't need you to be strong
I'll stay near, and help you carry on
In my life, help me when I lose my way
lay your hands, over me and ease the pain
when I go, across the fields I used to know
will you love me so well, in your way
When I rise, I feel a shadow over me
in these eyes, the churning of a restless sea
dark and cold, still somehow I need to know
what I lose in this world, lives somewhere in my soul
I'm still here, I don't need you to be strong
I'll stay near, and help you carry on
In my life, help me when I lose my way
lay your hands, over me and ease the pain
when I go, across the fields I used to know
will you love me so well, in your way
( solo )
and I don't know, anymore
still I call out your name
raise your eyes, in the distance you will see
those dark skys, don't go on endlessly
In my life, help me when I lose my way
lay your hands, over me and ease the pain
when I go, across the fields I used to know
will you love me so well, in your way
(Drummond)
If heaven could find me somebody
Someone to hold me when I sleep
If heaven could find me somebody
Someone to show me what I need
I need someone to love me
I need someone to care
Watching each day pass so slowly
Gets to me more than I can bear
I've been waiting here for so long
You're not even near
Yeah, yeah...
You shattered my illusions
When you left me
Had me down crawling on my knees,
Hoping each day you'd come and find me;
Hoping you'd see my misery
I need someone to love me
I need someone to care
Watching each day pass so slowly
Gettin' me more than I can bear
I've been waiting here for so long
You're not even near
You're not even near
If heaven could find me somebody
Someone to hold me when I sleep
If heaven could find me somebody
Someone to show me what I need
I need someone to love me
I need someone to care
Watching each day pass so slowly
Gets to me more than I can bear
I've been waiting here for so long
And you're not even near
You're not even near
Oh, what's the matter baby? Is the truth too hard to hear?
Well, I think you know I'm not the one who lied
And now it's all behind us and we both play out our lives
But the years don't change the way I feel inside
So we play the game out
Though it feels the same now are you missin' me?
Well now, baby just be aware
Of how much I still care oh, I need your love
I gave to you my heart and soul
Now I just need to let you know
You're part of me that I just can't let go, go
Well, tell me somethin' baby is there still some thing inside
To remind you of the way it used to be?
And how the years have rolled by still there's somethin' I must say
No one ever could have loved you more than me
So I'm passin' time now
Wishin' you were mine now are you missin' me?
Well you know it's not too late
Oh, how long must I wait oh, to hear you say
I gave to you my heart and soul
Now I just need to let you know
You're part of me that I just can't let go, go
And I need your love, and I need your love
Everywhere I go there's a memory and if you can't decide on me
Well you gotta make up your mind
Someday you're gonna find you just might need me
Oh, baby, ooh
Well now, baby just be aware
Of how much I still care
Oh, I need your love
I gave to you my heart and soul
Now I just need to let you know
You're part of me that I just can't let
Part of me that I just can't let
Part of me that I just can't let go
Can't let go, babe, no
But I need you baby, so bad, baby
I just can't let go, no, baby
No matter how many years we're apart
I still hold you here in my heart, baby
Can't let go, babe, no, no
Ah, just can't let go, just can't let go
(Pack)
I don't know how this whole business started
Of you thinkin' that I had been untrue
But if you think that we'd be better parted
It's gonna hurt me but I'll break away from you
Well, just give me the sign and I will be gone, yeahh
That's how much I feel
Feel for you, baby
How much I need I need your touch
How much I live I live for your loving
That's how much, that's how much
That's how much, that's how much
I sleep alone, and late at night I'm dreamin'
Of the togetherness that seems to be leavin' me
I'd give it all and then I'd give some more
If you would only love me like you had before
Take hold of my hand and all will be forgiven
That's how much I feel
Feel for you, baby
How much I need I need your touch
How much I live I live for your loving
Well that's how much, that's how much
That's how much, that's how much
So you try
Try to stay in the middle
And then you cry
Well you cry just a little
Then you both realize
Just how foolish you've been
And you try to make amends
But you're better off as friends
'Cause that's how much, that's how much
That's how much, that's how much
How's your life been goin' on
I've got a wife now
Years we've been goin' strong
There's just something that I've got to say
Sometimes when we make love
I still can see your face
Just try to recall
When we were as one
That's how much I feel
Feel for you, baby
How much I need
I need your touch
How much I live
I live for your loving
(Pack - Puerta - North - Drummond)
Until I met you baby
I only played with the band
But when I play my polonaise now
On my piano grand
I can't help but thinkin'
Of our first one night stand
When my precious hands were tinkling
On my little Georgie Sand
Come on and danse with me George
The pants you're wearing mama
And the cigar in your hand
Sorta put me off at first
I didn't understand
But now I love my vichy mama
I adore you and
I wouldn't ever leave you baby
For another man
Come on and danse with me George
You know your lips can spout quotations
But when your hips start their gyrations
They can thaw Valley Forge
Danse with me George
The memoirs of a mademoiselle
Far ahead of her time
Has left us all a legend
That's never gonna die
To say your ways were novel
Would be a lousy pun
But of late I've been feelig awful
I want to have me some fun
So come on
Put your pen aside baby
Come on
Your lips are driving me crazy
We could talk this out I'm sure
If you would just shut your mouth
So come on,
So come on,
da, da, da Danse with me george
Well your lips can spout quotations (Waltzin', minuet, mazurka)
But when your hips start their gyrations (Doin' it 'till we're beserka)
They could thaw Valley Forge
Danse with me George
LE DANSE
(Puerta - North - Drummond - Pack)
The clock gets to be such a bore
What'cha livin' for
Though I can't explain, being sane's
Just a dreary chore
I'd like to go fly past mountains
See Mama Frog at her fountain
She'll be there in her golden frog
Sequined uniform
Golden chair, three trained human clowns
Who will soon perform
Balancing books with their heads
Trying to recall what they've said
Past the gate you will soon be in
A garden paradise
Don't be late there, the shining jewels
Sparkle in your eyes
All waiting there for your pleasure
What's keeping you from this treasure?
Narration of "Jabberwock" from "Alice In Wonderland"
'Twas brillig and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble in the wabe; All mimsy were the borogoves, And the mome raths outgrabe.
"Beware the Jabberwock, my son! The jaws that bite, the claws that catch ?Beware the Jubjub bird, and shun The frumlous Bandersnatch!"
He took his vorpal sword in hand: Long time the manxome foe he sought ?So rested he by the Tumtum tree, And stood awhile in thought.
And as in uffish thought he stood, The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame, Came whiffling through the tulgey wood, And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! And through and through The vorpal blade went snicker-snack! He left it dead, and with its head He went galumphing back.
"And hast thou slain the Jabberwock? Come to my arms, my beamish boy! O frabjous day! Callooh! Callay!" He chortled in his joy.
'Twas brillig and the slithy toves Did gyre and gimble In the wabe; All mimsy were the borogoves And the mome raths outgrabe
The clock gets to be such a bore
What'cha livin' for
Though I can't explain, being sane's
Just a dreary chore
I'd like to go fly past mountains

Lover arrive Lover arrive
Take me on wings into your heart
Find a new start
Lover arrive Lover arrive
Take me from here into your soul
We can be whole
Remember the days
We'd run away
Laughing among all the fields
You looked at me
And all I could see
Were your eyes a shinin' so real
Ohhhh, li, li, li, li,
Ahh ah, li, li, li, li
Lover arrive Lover arrive
Take me from here into your heart
I put the bodies in their places,
Place expressions
Expressions on their faces
A headless torso lying naked amongst the piles of flesh so sacred.
Conducting experiments to preserve forever
Stages of dismemberment fluctuating from room to room
Flowing the sweet odor of death.
Dissolving limbs, boiling the flesh, power drill injecting acid into the brains of them.
