Your love is like a tangerine - so sweet/ Quenching - delicious/ You’re all I need
When we kiss it feels like a brand new day/ But how many ways can I say to you, baby…
What we have is so amazing
What I say you won’t believe about our love affair cause honey it’s perfect
What I say you won’t believe about our love affair cause honey it’s perfect
How many ways for me to say how I feel?
I keep writing all these songs to you, but it’s not enough
‘Cause I can’t hold back the way I feel
‘Cause what you giving me feels so real
But how many ways can I say to you, baby…
What we have is so amazing
What I say you won’t believe about our love affair cause honey it’s perfect
What I say you won’t believe about our love affair cause honey it’s perfect
What we have is a dream
Misty rain on a hot day in July
You keep giving me a reason
To be a better man
I couldn’t leave you if I tried
What I say you won’t believe about our love affair cause honey it’s perfect
What I say you won’t believe about our love affair cause honey it’s perfect

Won't you come on over/ And enjoy yourself
Now don't you worry/ Just enjoy yourself
See, I gave up saving the world/ I just wanna make you my girl
For tonight
Won't you come on over/ And enjoy yourself
There's no hurry/ Just enjoy yourself
Now if you let me ease your mind/ It'll all be fine
For tonight
Won't you come on over/ And enjoy yourself
Let me love you/ Just enjoy yourself
Now let me ease your troubles away/ I just want you to stay
For tonight
Won't you come on over/ And enjoy yourself
Take off that skirt, girl/ Just enjoy yourself
Let's shut off all our phones/ Tell your friends you won't be coming home
For tonight
Won't you come on over/ And enjoy yourself
Baby, don't you worry/ Just enjoy yourself
We'll take a little reprieve/ I'll show you things you wouldn't believe
Come on let me please/ You got me down on my knees
You gotta, gotta, gotta enjoy yourself
For tonight

Paint me nestled in your arms
Teach me how to breathe
Hold me when the lights go down
Feed my soul
Share your sorrows
Bathe me in the evening
But I can’t be the answer
To the pain you feel inside
If I were the only thing inside your veins
Maybe the hurting could stop
But what I had to give was never enough for you
So I had to set you free..
I can’t always be at your side
You have to be strong for yourself
All of the hurt you feel
You know you can’t just stick it away
I’m sorry, baby, but you gotta be
Better to yourself
The freedom you will find will take you places
But you gotta go it alone…
I hope you find a home
To rest your soul

Take me to the gala/ For all the world to see
Where the lights are bright/ Picture me perfect standing there/ Where I was born to be
Picture my face on the TV/ People screaming my name
This life was meant for me/ I am somebody you will know my name
I wanna be…famous
Spotlights/ big dreams
Wanna be famous for nothing/ wanna be famous for nothing
Spotlights/ big dreams
Wanna be famous for nothing/ wanna be famous for nothing
Put me on stage/ Put me on the big screen/ Put me anywhere that I can be seen
Celebrity is calling and I don’t know why/ I wanna be…
Never mind asking why/ Just a dream that I deserve/ Talk of the town/ They hang on every word
I wanna be - known all over the world/ I wanna be…famous
Spotlights/ big dreams
Wanna be famous for nothing/ wanna be famous for nothing
Spotlights/ big dreams
Wanna be famous for nothing/ wanna be famous for nothing
A world of distractions - white noise everywhere
All intentions wasted - emptiness laid bare
And so we find the id driven to insanity - driven without aim
A life with no purpose - a life that’s so worthless - so the world can know your name
Spotlights/ big dreams
Wanna be famous for nothing/ wanna be famous for nothing
Spotlights/ big dreams
Wanna be famous for nothing/ wanna be famous for nothing

She let me deep inside her mind
She let me feel her heart beat
The way she make me feel I can’t explain
She feels so good to me - ooh - ooh
I love when she takes it slow
When we ain’t got nowhere to go
I said she feels so good to me
I may not know which way I’ll go
But there’s one thing that I know…
She’s a woman
She’s a woman
She’s a woman
She’s a woman
She’s a woman
She’s a woman
She’s a woman
She’s a woman
Some might try call her out her name
But I don’t care ‘cause she means the world to me
For all time, I wanna make her mine
Right there by her side
This woman she gives me life
She made me a man
I will stand with her
But I don’t know how it’s gonna end
But there’s one thing that I know…
She’s a woman
She’s a woman
She’s a woman
She’s a woman
She’s a woman
She’s a woman
She’s a woman
She’s a woman

Can’t say living with me’s always easy
I know sometimes I can make you sad
All the sweet words in the world sometimes ain’t enough
Don’t wanna make you feel so bad
I know that I should do better
That’s what I owe to you
I know that you don’t have to stay
You’re here ‘cause you wanna be
And I don’t wanna see you walking out the door
Stay right here with me
No, I can’t stand to fight no more
I’d rather be in you
In you, in you…
In you, in you…
In you, in you…
In you, in you…
Breaking up would be just too damn easy
I know I’m ‘onna have to work to make you stay
A woman like you can have any man she please
But I want you here with me
I know that I can do better
That’s what I promise you
And I know that you don’t have to stay
You’re here ‘cause you wanna be
And I don’t wanna see you walking out the door
Stay right here with me
No,I can’t stand to fight no more
I’d rather be in you
In you, in you…
In you, in you…
In you, in you…
In you, in you…

The Death Of Vernon
04:24

No one danced the way we danced that night
And we kissed like two comets crashing from the sky
A country boy with a dream and a heart of gold
And her this beautiful, mysterious new face
She liked dancing to Jane’s and Bowie was my thing
Fireflies dancing in the night with a passion burning bright as stars
How long can it last? Can it survive the new sun?
What becomes when the new day washes away?
When reality sets in and all the romance gone,
Will I still be a knight shining past this night?
Will I be the man of all dreams or just a fleeting thing?
Can I still capture her imagination?
Newness is a lure
But the mundane is where character is born
Whiskey and wine enhance this moment and now seems like forever
Youthful passions ruminate with the promise of ever after
But can I be loved when I’m no one else but me?
When the old me dies and a new me is born
Will you see me for who I am or the way you wish I was?
I asked her if she’ll love me tomorrow when I grow into a better man
And she just laughed and said maybe, but maybe’s not good enough!
Love soared like birds
While kisses fell like raindrops on puckered lips
The moonlight held a glow in those eyes
The night sky’s deception was misleading
Memories addictive like drugs
And one day the music all had to stop
I sent postcards from my afterlife
When I was born again as the new me
I found this person, I found myself, that I was born to be
Right here as I am
Set free these souvenirs of yesteryear and days gone
Kissed goodbye to the ways we were
Time didn’t stop we let it all fade
Spring can’t be the only season
God willing I’ll make it to the fall
But tonight I’ll read to you the eulogy for the death of me

Little Dreamer

He’s sitting in his bedroom reading magazines counting the days go by
Music stars with guitars filling his dreaming head
Inside these walls cassette lullabies - carry him far away
And he’s dreaming of the sunshine when the nighttime takes a hold
Dreaming of another life
And he’s hoping for the day when all the walls come falling down
And it carries him away
She’s standing in the doorway with a furrowed brow - he searching beneath his bed
Schoolboy love poems - words to light the way
And take him away from here
A prisoner - children laugh and play outside
Sounds of joy carry him far away
And he’s dreaming of the sunshine when the nighttime takes a hold
Dreaming of another life
And he’s hoping for the day when all the walls come falling down
And it carries him away

Honey, get on in, now let’s drive/ Gon’ go places you ain’t never been, now let’s drive
Pedal to the metal - top down - now let’s drive/ Filler up - don’t stop - c’mon, now let’s drive
I said pedal to the metal
We got this - wind against our backs/ And the whole world ahead to dream
Honey, let’s - take it on/ Glad I got you on my team
And we got - one life to live/ Now let’s live ’till we die
Say we may not - change the world/ But we sure gonna try
You got - that winnin’ smile/ And pretty eyes to complete
Before you start your revolution/ Knocked me right off my feet
Don’t know if I’m coming or going/ Just want you by my side
So sit your ass in this car/ Honey, get on in and let’s drive
Honey, get on in, now let’s drive/ Gon’ go places you ain’t never been, now let’s drive
Pedal to the metal - top down - now let’s drive/ Filler up - don’t stop - c’mon, now let’s drive
I said pedal to the metal
Now tell yo’ momma and daddy - that you ain’t comin’ home
We heading down to a place - where we can be alone
And kiss goodbye to your friends - Tell ‘em we - ain’t coming back
’Til they all get this mess right/ And folks learn how to act
We gonna take that little reprieve/ And go far, far away
We gonna’ live so free/ No matter what folks say
Livin’ the Life of Riley/ I got you by my side
Leave all your troubles behind/ And honey, get on in, now let’s drive
Honey, get on in, now let’s drive/ Gon’ go places you ain’t never been, now let’s drive
Pedal to the metal - top down - now let’s drive/ Filler up - don’t stop - c’mon, now let’s drive
I said pedal to the metal

When the bombs start to fallin’, baby - I’ll still love you
When the sirens are sounding, baby - I’ll still love you
When we runnin’ for our lives, baby - I’ll still love you
When there’s nowhere to hide, baby - I still love you
We’re asked to pay the price/ Though it’s not our fight
We gotta run for shelter/ The sky is pouring down
When the sun is all covered, baby - I’ll still love you
When we’ve run out of time, baby - I’ll still love you
When the streets are on fire, baby - I’ll still love you
When the skies turn to ashes, baby - I’ll still love you
We’re asked to pay the price/ Though it’s not our fight
We gotta run for shelter/ The sky is pouring down
They got their fingers on the button/ They want to end us all
I don’t really wanna die tonight, honey - But if I gotta die tonight let it be with you
I’ll still love you/ I’ll still love you
When the sun sets on our days, baby - I’ll still love you
When we’re wiped off of this Earth, baby - I’ll still love you
When they turn us to ashes, baby - I’ll still love you
When everyone’s gone MAD, baby - I’ll still love you
We’re asked to pay the price/ Though it’s not our fight
We gotta run for shelter/ The sky is pouring down
