             life

               Whenever you

         Where life leads
           is where I will go
          and not try to control
            what it will show
           as I lose myself
             into the flow

         Many facts will follow
           wherever truth may go
          ever leading us toward
            whatever we will know
           ever letting us be
             and never letting us go

         Wherever it takes me
           making whatever I do
          I'll hope in my mind
            and in my heart too
           wherever it takes me
             will be whenever with you

         I came in in the middle
           of the universe's show
          missing the beginning
            too far away to know
           and its end whenever when
             I probably won't get to go

         No wonder I can't know
           what its all about
          why we laugh and love
            why we scream and shout
           when life's beginnings and end
             forever live in doubt

         But wherever it takes me
           making whatever I do
          I'll hope in my mind
            and in my heart too
           wherever it takes me
             will be whenever with you

         Wherever its all leading to
           it will circle back again
          it isn't a matter of place
            not even a matter of when
           its just a song we sing
             every now and then

         Sing it now
           as we sung it then
          and it will be
            forever again
           future, past, just a mask
             somewhere now its then

         From now until forever
           I know that I will be
          just one little voice
            just one little me
           saying whatever was still is
             in a place that we can't see

         Wherever my life takes me
           making whatever I do
          I'll hope in my mind
            and in my heart too
           wherever it takes me
             will be whenever with you


     
     
     
     
     

         Silent Film Movies 

         Follow you heartbeat
           always until
          it leads you to moonbeams
            silent and still
           while wandering gypsys
             dance on the hill
            on flowering tea leaves
              they've yet to mill

         Run fast from heartache
           it catches you still
          bending you backwards
            breaking your will
           like silent film movies
             make quietness shrill
            echoing the nothings
              soaking up thrills

         Leftover romance
           perchance to dream
          seemingly sober
            over what it all means
           weaning the break
             and breaking the screen
            between heaven and heartache
              shakenly serene

         Savor the dance
           chance has to take
          forsaking all flavor
            to layer the cake
           and making our favor
             savor the ache
            faking the way more
              with each step we make

         As yesterday's hearts
           carry us still
          we're never apart from
            forgotten thrills
           in the heart of the darkness
             images fill
            in the time between
              the dead 'n the nil

         Play it again,  please
           play it until
          all sorrow's forgotten
            and time stands still
           memories run deep
             too deep to kill
            but like silent film movies,
              practicality will

         Follow you heartbeat
           always until
          it leads you to moonbeams
            silent and still
           like wandering gypsys
             we dance on the hill
            on flowering tea leaves
              too bright to mill

         Leftover romance
           perchance to dream
          seemingly sober
            over what it all means
           weaning the break
             and breaking the screen
            between heaven and heartache
              shakenly serene


     
     
     
     
     

            Here in your heart

         Here in your heart
           there's a wonder apart
          from all that you see
            and what will be
           will carry you through 
             whatever you do
            'til you're what you need to be

         Find in your heart
           that one special part
          you want most to play
           (for us, for you) forever today
           and it'll come true
             in whatever you do
            you think, feel and say

         What you'll be in the end
           is with you now my friend
          find it in you
            or find it out here too
           whatever you see
             you'll want to set (it) free
            and make it come true

         Here in your heart
           there's a wonder apart
          from all that you see
            and what will be
           is all inside you
             to find out that you
            were what you needed to be


     
     
     
     
     

                Eternity

         We tear a page
           out of what can be
          fill it with what-
            ever we want to see
           hand it down
             to our progenity
            as if we gave a damn
              about posterity

         Never puttin' thoughts
           elloquently
          speakin' anger
            only with obscenities
           you'd think one day
             we'd ever see
            we're puttin' crap out in
              quantity

         If you never think
           about eternity
          or care if there is
            any destiny
           think about
             the kids you see
            and what we leave them
              left to dream

         We say that life
           is only what it seems
          an' there ain't no use
            believin' in dreams
           as we hastily
             tear down the screens
            exposing societies
              unseemliest seams

         We're selling out truth
           to fact-based scenes
          losin' sight of hope
            'cause it doesn't gleam
           turnin' up the static
             to drown out the screams
            as people die without
              knowing what livin' means

         They never think
           about eternity
          just thought this was
            their destiny
           If this is all
             your heart can see
            then this is all
              life will mean

         Maybe our page
           just shouldn't be
          but it is and so
            it has to be
           but of all the gall
             it takes not to see
            you'd think darkness was
              a necessity

         If you never think
           about eternity
          or care if there is
            any destiny
           think about
             the kids you see
            and what we leave them
              left to dream

         What was we say
           had to be
          still clingin' to
            inevitability
           but in all
             probablilty
            we make it better or worse
              eventually

         If you ever think
           about eternity
          believe we are
            our destiny
           'cause of all the things
             that we still need
            nothin' else beats
              responsibility


     
     
     
     
     

             Who'll listen

         Everybody,
           they've got their own
          them that don't,
            they just stand alone
           with nobody
             to call or phone
            when they
              stand to lose their homes

         Who'll listen
           when I need to call
          who'll listen
            when my back's to the wall
           If you lose
             you're bound to lose it all
            Somethin's missin'

         In a shelter
           at the edge of town
          where nobody
            likes to hang around
           after dark
             when they hear the sound
            then the silence
              knowin' somethin's goin' down

         The ol' lady
           that runs the place
          she tells me that
            I ain't no disgrace
           and maybe soon
             I'll find me some space
            but the doubt
              shows up in her face

         I'll listen
           though there's nothin' I can do
          but I'll listen
            'cause somebody's got to 
           I ain't much use
             but if we talk it through
            someone might listen

         I wrote a letter
           sayin' what might be in store
          when those in need
            are simply shown the door,
           more crime
             and less keepin' score
            as the law
              becomes words and nothin' more

         An' everybody
           on the other side of the line
          will keep closin'
            up their eyes, ears and minds
           from seein'
             that justice is blind
            when upholdin'
              orders fundamentally unkind

         But nobody listens
           no matter what you say
          Nobody listens
            they just hope you go away
           and let them think
             tomorrow will be just like today
            with nothin' missin'

         Believe it or not
           someone on the spot
          put out a little thought
            and an answer I got...

         Whatever you're sayin'
           I've heard it before
          and wherever you're comin' from
            there's three thousand more
           Whether the trouble's past
             or there's trouble in store
            you can bet your ass
              there's gonna be more

         Just keep livin'
           we don't care what for
          just keep givin'
            us whatever you're good for
           Pay to play today
             and tomorrow you'll see more
            of whatever's missin'

         Who'll listen
           if it happens to you
          just listen
            no one ever thinks it could
           If they did
             you could bet it never would
            that's whats missin'
              that's whats missin'


     
     
     
     
     

                 A World Where It Could

          I see me and you together
            whether times go good or bad
           I see you and me and a baby or three
             havin' the best fun we ever had

          Now I'm not saying it's gonna happen
            I won't even say that it should
           but wouldn't it,  wouldn't it be good
             to live in a world where it could

          I see peace and plenty for all
            in a world where no one is sad
           I see an end to guns and weapons shunned
             and everyone has reason to be glad

          I see Jews playing with Arabs
            growing up in a world without hate
           I see the best face we have to offer
             and the best life we can create

          I'm not saying it's gonna happen
            I won't even say that it should
           but wouldn't it,  wouldn't it be good
             to live in a world where it could

          I see kindness to all the animals
            I see the monkeys and dolphins set free
           I see the humanness in humanity
             brighter than we thought it could be

          I see us in this perfect world
            and I hope you see it with me
           'cause if never comes to pass
             at least we both thought it could be

          Now I'm not saying it's gonna happen
            I won't even say that it should
           but wouldn't it,  wouldn't it be good
             to live in a world where it could


     
     
     
     
     
     

             love

               On Down Below

           We lay together
             yet we stand apart
            touching everything
              but never the heart
             keeping it distant
               keeping it smart
              yet never allowing
                the best part to start

           What you feel
             you don't show
            about so much
              I don't know
             Sorry I just
               can't let it go
              for I feel
                I need to know

           I'd never ask,
             that's not my way
            I just wait and wait
             and hope you will say
             something,  anything
               to show me the way
              to get you to
                open up today

           What you think
             I don't need to hear
            and what we want
              is never clear
             but because I love you
              I live with the fear
              that so much of you
                I'll never be near

           I say its nothing
             but my heart says no
            and I pretend
              that our love can grow
             stronger yet
               ever even though
              you won't reveal
                what you feel below

           What I have of you
             I don't mind
            and its enough
              most of the time
             but now and then
               I need to find
              the rest of you
                I left behind

           I'll wait outside
             until you let me in
            and on that day
              my life will begin
             when your trust
               I finally win
              enough to know
                all you've ever been


     
     
     
     
     

             Together in the Heart

         Look into my eyes
           and tell me what you see
          a thousand other guys
            or just me

         Want to see them 
           want to see a disguise
          or need to see past that 
            to see past their lies
           to my honesty

         Feel my heartbeat 
           hard upon my chest 
          as if it seeks to escape 
            from whom it has been blessed 
           to find in another
             its own success

         Be there for me 
           or just close your eyes
          lest you might soon see
            me bang my head into the wall
           for feeling my life's a lie
             thinkin' the joys I see
               aren't really mine at all

         Together or apart
           whether at the end
          or at the start
            we are we
           and will always be
             opposites united
            together in the heart

         Brushin' your hair
           back out of your face
          I savor the moment there
            and its sweet taste

         Holdin' back time
           like a beaver with a damn
          I gather up the past
            hopin' that what I am
           will stay in place

         Nothing escapes me
           yet nothing do I hold
          except the present you
            for memories of old
           die upon our lips
             as they are told

         Let our lips be still
           once they've done their jobs
          in letting us express
            the feelings in our breasts
           by letting us taste
             each others best

         Together or apart
           whether at the end
          or at the start
            we are we
           and will always be
             opposites united
            together in the heart


     
     
     
     
     

            When Push Comes to Shove

         The night is made for love
           beneath the stars above
          heart stoppin' crazy love
            the kind we're cravin' of

         Its almost too much to bear
           holding you softly there
          with moonlight in your hair
            and romance in the air

         Even though it's gettin' late
           and you say you'd rather wait
          I feel the hand of fate
            moving us to the gate

         When push comes to shove
           and its time to leave or love
          decide what you're dreamin' of
            and if you believe in love

         And if you believe in love
           believe we're needy of
          the need to be in love
            underneath the stars above

         We still are young
           our best is still unsung
          but before this night is done
            let it be second to none

         I feel you really care
           I feel it everywhere
          feelings I need to share
            needing you always there

         If you want I'll go
           I just want you to know
          that tomorrow will show
            I can take takin' it slow

         When push comes to shove
           and its time to leave or love
          decide what you're dreamin' of
            and if you believe in love

         And if you believe in love
           believe we're needy of
          the need to be in love
            underneath the stars above
     


     
     
     
     
     

                Dreamin' Of You

         I'm so in love with you
           that when my day is through
          I still need to hold you tight
            through all my dreams at night

         It doesn't matter when or where,
           whenever I close my eyes you're there
          living the love that we both see
            which makes us feel alive and free

         You got me
           dreamin' of you
          day or night
           its all I want to do
          from now 'til
            my life is through
           all I need
             is to just see you

         In my dreams the world is ours
           with only sunshine,  no rain or showers
          and an infinite amount of time to take
            to enjoy the love that we make

         These dreams have no sorrows or fear
           or any reasons to shed a tear,
          just love and laughter and us
            caring and sharing in total trust

         You got me
           dreamin' of you
          day or night
           its all I want to do
          from now 'til
            my life is through
           all I need
             is to just see you

         Though beautiful,  these dreams are fake
           which I discover when I awake
          to find you there lying next to me
            more lovely than any dream can be

         Just keep me
           dreamin' of you
          and I'll try
           to keep you dreamin' too
          from now 'til
            my life is through
           I'll do my best
             to make our dreams come true
            I'll do my best
              to make your dreams come true


     
     
     
     
     
     

             death

         Supersonic

          Stuck on some
            aeroplane
           headed for (uh)
             ol' Bachrain
            Supersonic (yuh)
              is my name
             an' shootin' trouble is
               the name of my game

          When someone gives
            someone some pain
           I'm there for
             them to complain
            takin' down them
              facts and names
             an' guessin' who
               ta give the blame

          But before I
            can get some rest
           my butt's on a plane
             headin' west
            headin' somewhere
              there's more unrest
             peace of mind and time
               are the price of success

          Well doggone it (ha)

               to quit the game

          Guns and more
            are at my command
           and I'm the baddest cat
             in any land
            trouble shooters are
             always in demand
             and I decide
               who ta lend a hand

          If you want a war
            then I'm your man
           Tell me what you want
             I'll do what I can
            say it right
              an' we'll understand

               who likes our brands

          Sorry man,
            I gotta go
           'cause this place here
             is ready to blow
            an' the aftermath
              I don't wanna know

               of other's pains

          When the dust settles
            I'm there again
           once the land
             is on the mend
            jus' waitin' to
              start it up again
             'til everyone
               is dead or friends

          What rules don't break
            I'm sure ta bend

               in the end

          Where I work

           'cause the thrill is what
             I'm livin' for
            an' maybe someday
              I might score
             some brownie points
               for stoppin' a war

             How to Say Goodbye

           As she left me she asked
             why didn't I shout or cry
            How could she know me
              yet not know
             I don't know how to say
               goodbye

           It's not like I've been through it
             a hundred times or more
            Anything as final as forever
              I deny to even feel
             and believe that facts will fall
               to things like before
              lastly letting our needs decide
                what is really real

           Yet ends have to come
             and when they do
            I'm always the one
              left last to understand
             and recognize that new
               order now at hand

           No one ever leaves I say
             and I never presume to lie
            I know others needs
              yet I know
             I never need to learn
               goodbye

           In my heart we all live
             and never die
            and though the pain is always there
              it never steals
             the desire to forever return here
               from our future lives

           A reunion of hopes and dreams
             I see in store
            knowing the present
              is and has been
             always a lie
               which brought us together
              here once before
                yet has not the power
               to let that feeling die

           The past and present
             blend in me
            and in the middle of
              the twisting swirl
             I see the traits of all of us
               in each boy and girl

            No one ever leaves I say
              and I never presume to lie
             I know others needs
               yet I know
              I never need to learn
                goodbye


     
     
     
     
     

                    Can't See the Sun

              The storm grows
                outside of my door
               a chill blows
                 through all of my pores
                Everyone knows
                  the tragic score,
                 friends meet foes
                   and roses galore

              Death has come
                ready to chase
               reluctant ones
                 free from its embrace
                and what's won
                  from this evil race
                 is a peace gun
                   aimed right at my face

              I can't see the sun
                commin' out anymore
               can't see the world
                 bein' brighter than before
                Clouds have come,
                  I don't care what for
                 truth and hope
                   just don't live anymore

              I sit still
                alone in the dark
               and wait until
                 I can feel some spark
                of my will
                  to leave forth my mark
                 before time stills
                   my ever hardening heart

              Yet I know
                all efforts are vain
               we come and go
                 and all remains the same
                We overthrow
                  tyrants in justice's name
                 but tomorrow
                   we'll all deserve the same

              All that's won
                when lives we waste
               is someone
                 takes someone else's place
                Under thumb,
                  we'll all praise grace
                 with dumb fun
                   appeasing our foolish tastes

              I can't see the sun
                commin' out anymore
               can't see the world
                 bein' brighter than before
                Clouds have come, 
                  I don't care what for
                 truth and hope
                   just don't live anymore
