Lyrical Response

[Roundybout]

Gravitational pull
I have you making a fool
Out of yourself on the dance floor
Doing back spins running man and more
Party down with Vigga and Candor
Coming to the jam
Or look like a landlubber
And do the aqua boogie
Win lots of goodies maybe
Pop a Gucci wallet turntables is talking to me
It's awfully groovy
Seeing all the treasure and the booty

[PastaJoe]

Take your baby by the hand
And make her do a high handstand
And take your baby by the heel
And do the next thing that you feel

We were so in phase

 

In our dance hall days
We were cool on craze
When I, you and everyone we knew
Could believe, do and share in what was true

I said
Dance hall days love

[Bill from NYC]

If we walk together, little children
We don't ever have to worry
Through this world of trouble
We gotta love one another

Let us take our fellow man, by the hand
Try to help him to understand
We can all be together, forever and ever
When we make it to the promised land

[Roundybout]

If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day
'Til eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you

 

If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I'd save every day like a treasure and then
Again, I would spend them with you

[PastaJoe]

If you could read my mind love
What a tale my thoughts could tell
Just like an old time movie
About a ghost from a wishin' well
In a castle dark or a fortress strong
With chains upon my feet

You know that ghost is me
And I will never be set free
As long as I'm a ghost, you can see

[Roundybout]

In the heat and the rain
With whips and chains
To see him fly
So many died
We build a tower of stone
With our flesh and bone
Just to see him fly
But don't know why
Now where do we go?

 

[PastaJoe]

Do you remember when we used to dance
And incidents arose from circumstance?
One thing led to another, we were young
And we would scream together songs unsung

It was the heat of the moment
Telling me what my heart meant
The heat of the moment showed in your eyes

[muppy]

You want to believe that
I am not the same as you.
I can't concieve, oh no,
what it is you're tryin' to do

What a shot you could be if
you could shoot at me
with those Angry Eyes...

[Roundybout]

Out on the streets, I'm stalking the night
I can hear my heavy breathing
Paid for the kill, but it doesn't seem right
Something there I can believe in

 

Voices are calling from inside my head
I can hear them, I can hear them
Vanishing memories of things that were said
They can't try to hurt me now

 

But a shot in the dark
One step away from you
Just a shot in the dark
Always creeping up on you, all right

[Bill from NYC]

Friends are so alarming
And my lover's never charming
Life's just a cocktail party on the street
Big Apple people dressed in plastic bags, directing traffic
(Shadoobie, shattered)
Some kind of fashion
(Shadoobie, shattered)

Laughter, joy, and loneliness and sex and sex and sex and sex
Look at me, I'm in tatters
I been shattered
Shattered

[muppy]

My parties have all the big names
And I greet them with the widest smile
Tell them how my life is one big adventure
And always, they're amazed
When I show them 'round the house, to my bed
I had it made like a mountain range
With a snow-white pillow for my big fat head
 

[Bill from NYC]

When the last rose of summer pricks my finger
And the hot sun chills me to the bone
When I can't hear the song for the singer
And I can't tell my pillow from a stone

I will walk alone by the black muddy river
And sing me a song of my own
I will walk alone by the black muddy river
And sing me a song of my own

[Roundybout]

I walk a lonely road
The only one that I have ever known
Don't know where it goes
But it's home to me, and I walk alone

 

[muppy]

I keep a close watch on this heart of mine
I keep my eyes wide open all the time
I keep the ends out for the tie that binds
Because you're mine, I walk the line, mmm

[Bill from NYC]

Ooh, this old heart of mine, been broken thousand times
Each time you break away, I fear you're gone to stay
Lonely nights that come, memories that flow
Bringing you back again, hurting me more and more

 

Maybe it's my mistake, to show this love I feel inside
'Cause each day that passes by
You got me never knowing if I'm coming or going but I,

 I love you
This old heart, darling, is weak for you
I love you, yes, do (Yes, I do)

[muppy]

You showed me how to do
Exactly what you do
How I fell in love with you
Oh, oh, oh, it's true
Oh, oh, I love you

[Roundybout]

Riding on the City of New Orleans 
Illinois Central, monday morning rail,
fifteen cars and fifteen restless riders,
three conductors, twenty-five sacks of mail.
All along the southbound Odyssey
the train pulls out of Kankakee
and rolls along past houses, farms and fields,
passing trains that have no name
and freight yards full of old black men
and the graveyards of the rusted automobiles.

Good morning America, how are ya?
Say, don't you know me? I'm your native son.
I'm the train they call the City of New Orleans,
I'll be gone five hundred miles when the day is done

[DD4Bills]

The evening plane rises up from the runway
Over constellations of light
I look down into a million houses
And wonder what you're doing tonight

 

If I could wave my magic wand
I'd make everything all right

[muppy]

Oh, kiss me and smile for me
Tell me that you'll wait for me
Hold me like you'll never let me go

 

'Cause I'm leavin' on a jet plane
Don't know when I'll be back again
Oh babe, I hate to go

Jade on a concave afternoon,

laid with a lisp and coming through,

weighed but like a rock that breaks in two,

somethings gone awry,

someone's run amuck,

like to get away,

but I think I'm stuck...
