Dance In The Sun

I don’t know what you heard But I give you my word That all of it’s true Let’s see what you got Go on and take your best shot I got next to nothing to lose I I'm off and running Trying to keep pace With the quick and cunning And I won’t be outdone We haven’t begun Our dance in the sun You’re out for blood But you’re stuck in the mud, grasping at sand I thought it over Going out on a high note Though I don’t really know Where I’m going to land So I I'm off and running Shedding my skin You don’t know what's coming I’m picking up speed I’m taking the lead For this dance in the sun

Turn Your Back On Your Regrets

In transition In distress Got ambition For success I been sitting On the fence Cuz if it don’t make a dollar It don’t make sense But take a look around Take in every sound Think it’s time that you reset And turn your back on your regrets In the spirit In for good But a little Misunderstood I been dying To make amends Burning the candle At both ends Take a look around Take in every sound Have you made your mind up yet To turn your back on your regrets Take a look around Wake up and shut it down Set your timer to forget And turn your back on your regrets Barring unforeseeable events Gotta live in the present tense Take a look around Take in every sound Think it’s time that you reset And turn your back on your regrets

No Right Turns

I’m getting out Hitting the town The city’s awake and won’t let me down I’m gonna branch out Swing from the trees Fly through the night Like I'm on a trapeze Call on some friends Then again A solo mission It really depends On what happens after all of the laughter Comes to an end You gotta know what you might be losing You gotta have your share of concerns You gotta slow down these roads confusing No right turns No right turns I got nothing wrong With taking a bite Out of somebody else’s book it’s alright To go out on a limb Say what you mean Grab on to the wires and tame the machine Battle the cold Go for the gold I know you can find it Even with a blindfold The one you been wearing and not really caring That it’s getting old You gotta know what you might be losing You gotta have your share of concerns You gotta slow down these roads confusing No right turns There’s no right turns I can be high and get way down low Turn a blind eye to the brightest glow If this goes awry I told you so I don't know now I just don't know

Take The Bait

Keep clear Head games Snakes with ladders to climb I know they’re circling And it’s just a matter of time Shots fired Out swinging Catch up what’s on TV Watch your mouth You can’t be too careful it seems Stay down Play dead and don’t make a sound I hear violins Screaming from under the ground Maybe we could just turn the dial Maybe we are all in denial Hey I’m fading Waiting for you to take the bait How do I put this All into words It goes without saying This is all for the birds Fly off The handle I’m a fly on the wall And I will dismantle and stop this from hurting us all

Now That Summer Is Gone

Fake your way through it all Make like you’re having a ball Keeping the peace in the usual way A room full of people with nothing to say Play the game only your way Say your name you’ve got nothing to gain Now that summer is gone Something’s happened now that summer is gone Take your piece of the plan Shake any somebody’s hand You’re a slave to yourself and what you cannot undo How can you say you’ve always been true Wait til you’ve got something to prove Break a leg it’s something to do Now that summer is gone Nothing matters now that summer is gone All the best to you and yours I’ve nothing left to forgive you for You made a mess get on all fours Use your summer dress to clean the floor Find your face in the crowd This time you’re not singing so loud Now that summer is gone You gotta start all over now that summer is gone

Perfect Place To Hide

Little now do you know The more you’ll learn in time Getting around the where to go And stopping on a dime A door opens up Step on inside It could be the perfect place to hide You listen to everyone Who says you’re doing fine Could they be attempting to Steal your place in line A door opens up Slip on inside It could be the perfect place to hide Why don’t you go away for a while Let yourself grow and then come back in style There’s too many rules by which you can’t abide Could you use the perfect place to hide Get a grip loosen up Try another key Take your sip from the golden cup It’s where you’re meant to be And if a door opens up Slip on inside It could be the perfect place to hide

Stumbling Home Again

You used to come on strong Now you seem so meek Don't feel that you belong And wait to wet your beak How will you last Just one more day If you've something to say Say it fast I’m stumbling home again… You've wandered all this time And found nowhere to stay To leave it all behind Might be the only way Hold out your hand And grab all you can This may be your last stand Be a man I’m stumbling home again… What will you say When it's taken so long To arrive at the place You belong

Everybody’s Waiting

Everybody’s waiting for you to come out Everybody’s waiting for you to come out Everybody’s waiting for you Everybody’s waiting for you to come out Everybody’s wondering where you have been Everybody wants to know where you have been Everybody wants to know where Everybody wants to know where you have been You’ve been keeping with a lover Maybe thinking about another Someone’s gonna tell her Tell her Everybody’s talking saying you’re not well Everybody’s talking saying you’re not well Everybody thinks you’re not well Everybody’s talking they’re saying you’re not well Are you feeling you will suffer When the whole thing is uncovered Someone’s gonna tell her Tell her you’ve got to tell her Everybody’s waiting for you Everybody’s waiting for you to come out Come on out Now

Heart Of My Mind

Out of time Out of sight Out of the right things to say Out of control Out of the way The darkness will fade From the eyes and the heart of my mind Out of disguise Out of supplies Out of the blindness of faith Out of my head And out of place And nothing but space That lies in the heart of my mind If I could Save the day… Out of blame Out of the game Out of the patience to wait Out of the sun Out way too late Listen to fate As it cries in the heart of my mind If I could Save the day…
