Rio

Wow!
Moving on the floor now babe you're a bird of paradise
Cherry ice cream smile I suppose it's very nice
With a step to your left and a flick to the right
You catch that mirror way out west
You know you're something special and you look like you're the best
Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twisting through a dusty land
And when she shines she really shows you all she can
Oh Rio Rio dance across the Rio Grande
I've seen you on the beach and I've seen you on TV
Two, of a billion stars, it means so much to me
Like a birthday or a pretty view
But then I'm sure that you know it's just for you
Hey now (wow), look at that. Did he really run you down?
At the end of the drive, the lawmen arrive you make me feel
Alive alive alive
I'll take my chance 'cause luck is on my side
I tell you something I know what you're thinking
I tell you something, I know what you're thinking
Her name is Rio and she dances on the sand
Just like that river twists across a dusty land
And when she shines she really shows you all she can
Oh Rio Rio dance across the Rio Grande
Her name is Rio she don't need to understand
I might find her if I'm looking like I can
Oh Rio Rio hear them shout across the land
From mountains in the North down to the Rio Grande.

My Own Way

I saw you at the airace yesterday
April showers get out of my way
Fear of flying no not me
I'm never bothered what you say
Someone's kid just lives for today
It ain't your problem anyway
'Cos I've got my own way
I can find my own way
'Cos I've got my own way
No. 1 public figure what a pain
Just puts another rattle in your brain
Take another green but it's not the same
Now you're on the Sandlane everyday
Dancing with the bulls in any old way
Running like a fox to keep up with me
I'm on 45th between 6th & Broadway
7UP between 6th & Broadway
Gonna put a red streak around this town...

Lonely In Your Nightmare

Even on the darkest night
When empty promise means empty hand
And soldiers coming home like shadows turning red
When the lights of hope are fading quickly
Then look to me
I'll be your homing angel I'll be in your head
Because you're lonely in your nightmare let me in
And there's heat beneath your winter let me in
I see the delta traces living lonely out on the limb
And a passing glimmer warm beneath your skin
Please tread gently on the ground
When all around you earth turns to fire
Only get a second chance when danger's on the wind
Because you're lonely in your nightmare let me in
Because there's heat beneath your winter let me in
And it's silent in your stone field let me in
Must be lucky weather
When you find the kind of wind that you need
C'mon show me all the light
And shade that made your name
I know you've got it in your head I've seen that look before
You've built your refuge turns you captive all the same
Because you're lonely in your nightmare let me in
And it's barren in your garden let me in
Because there's heat beneath your winter let me in
Because it's silent in your stone field let me in
And you're lonely in your nightmare let me in
Because you've waited through the ice age let me in
Because you're so lonely in your nightmare let me in
And it's cold out on your stone range let me in
Because there's heat beneath your winter let me in.

Hungry Like The Wolf

Darken the city night is a wire
Steam in the subway earth is afire
Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo
Woman you want me give me a sign
And catch my breathing even closer behind
Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo
In touch with the ground
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Smell like I sound I'm lost in a crowd
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Straddle the line in discord and rhyme
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Mouth is alive with juices like wine
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Stalked in the forest too close to hide
I'll be upon you by the moonlight side
Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo
High blood Drumming on your skin it's so tight
You feel my heart I'm just a moment behind
Do do do do do do do dodo dododo dodo
In touch with the ground
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Scent and a sound. I'm lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line it's discord and rhyme
I howl and I whine I'm after you
Mouth is alive all running inside
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Hungry like the wolf
Hungry like the wolf
Hungry like the wolf
Burning the ground I break from the crowd
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
I smell like I sound. I'm lost and I'm found
And I'm hungry like the wolf
Strut on a line it's doscord and rhyme
I'm on the hunt I'm after you
Mouth is alive with juices like wine
And I'm hungry like the wolf.

Hold Back The Rain

We're miles away from nowhere
And the wind doesn't have a name
So call it what you want to call it
Still blows down the lane
People tell me, I haven't changed at all
But I don't feel the same
And I bet you've had that feeling too
You just can't laugh all the time
And if the fires burn out there's only fire to blame
No time for worry cause we're on the roam again
the clouds all scatter and we ride the outside lane
Not on your own so help me please hold back the rain
So what if the words ain't rhyming
Did you think that it's just a game?
I probably didn't even say that right
And I really don't give a damn
Okay go off and wander
I'm guilty just the same
Sometimes you're needed badly
So please come back again.
(Chorus)

New Religion
(A dialogue between the ego and the alter ego)


I've been now sauntering out and down a path sometime
Come on, it takes me nowhere which I knew
Faces everywhere pulling grins and signs and things
Telling me not there man it's no go
(Don't go there boy)
I need a reason
I can't think without one now
Too much learning got to show
Call it treason
Maybe catch her don't know how
Too many things too much to know
Bring my timing in, seagulls gather on the wind
Lady screaming, lady leave me out
'Cause sometimes people stare
Coming down, electric chair
And steaming crowds they gather and they shout
Don't know why this evil bothers me
So why is he trying to follow me?
How many reasons do they need?
I might just believe this time
Take another chance boy carry the fight
You can take him if you're fast
Didn't I say if you're holdin' on
You'd be laughing at the last
I get along fine with them friends of mine
But you have to make a choice
You're singing out of tune, but the beat's in time
And it's us who make the noise
I'm talking for free, I can't stop myself, it's a new religion
I've something to see, I can't help myself, it's a new religion
Okay my reasoning might be clouded by the sun
But someone sees the departmental lie
You know this peacetime jabbing fist in stabbing knife
Only get one look before you die
Don't know why this evil follows me
So why does he try to bother me?
How many reasons do they need?
I might just be right this time
Gotta take pay for the saints 'n' sinners
In regulation hats 'n' scarves 'n' things
Walking in formation down the lane
They carry their cross make a church bell ring
Army majors pull a mean cool truth
There lying in a swimming pool
Searching for the undeniable truth
That a man is just a fool
I'm talking for free, I can't stop myself, it's a new religion
I've something to see, I can't help myself.

Last Chance On The Stairway

I don't remember quite how I met you
Wasn't long ago
Just get a picture of sun,
In your eyes. The waves in your hair
Maybe it's something said in a movie
Or you could've said last night
Just took me out on a limb
And I don't really know what I'm doing here
And sometimes I'm caught in a landslide
My beat's so in time can you look at me?
I'm out of reach I'll talk if it feels right
I've had my last chance on the stairway
Funny it's just like a scene out of Voltaire
Twisting out of sight
'Cause when all the curtains are pulled back
We'll turn and see the circles we traced
Ain't no game... when you're playing with fire
It doesn't seem right that we fight
So the party runs on all night
And sometimes I'm caught in a landslide
My beat's so in time can you look at me?
I'm out of reach I'll talk if it feels right
So nervous to say tell me can't you see
If you want I'll fall out forever
I can't say no more... baby dance with me
And please don't say leave til later
I've had my last chance on the stairway
Wonder why...
What makes me rise so high?
Maybe it's something they put in your perfume
Or the look in your eyes
It could be the atmosphere sinking
I don't even know what you're thinking
Don't even know what you're drinking
But it keep this heaven alive.

Save A Prayer

You saw me standing by the wall corner of a main street
And the lights are flashing on your window sill
All alone ain't much fun so you're looking for the thrill
And you know just what it takes and where to go
Don't save a prayer for me now
Save it til the morning after
No don't say a prayer for me now
Save it til the morning after
Feel the breeze deep on the inside look down into the well
If you can you'll see the world in all his fire
Take a chance (like all dreamers can't find another way)
You don't have to dream it all, just live a day
Don't say a prayer for me now
Save it til the morning after
No don't say a prayer for me now
Save it til the morning after
Save it til the morning after
Save it til the morning after
Pretty looking road I try to hold the rising floods that fill my skin
Don't ask me why I'll keep my promise I'll melt the ice
And you wanted to dance so I asked you to dance
But fear is in your soul
Some people call it a one night stand but we can call it paradise
Don't say a prayer for me now
Save it til the morning after
No don't say a prayer for me now
Save it til the morning after
Save it til the morning after
Save it til the morning after
Save it til the morning after
Save a prayer til the morning after.

The Chauffeur

Out on the tar plains the glides are moving
All looking for a new place to hide
You sit beside me so newly charming
Sweating dewdrops glisten freshing your side
And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind
The front of your dress all shadowy lined
And the droning engine throbs in time
With your beating heart
Way down the lane away living for another day
The aphids swarm up in the drifting haze
Swim seagull in the sky towards some hollow
Western isle
My envied lady holds you fast in her gaze
And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind
The front of your dress all shadowy lined
And the droning engine throbs in time
With your beating heart
Sing Blue Silver
And watching lovers part I feel you smiling
What glass splinters lie so deep in your mind?
To tear out from your eyes with a word to stiffen
Brooding lies
And I'll only watch you leave me further behind
And the sun drips down bedding heavy behind
The front of your dress all shadowy lined
And the droning engine throbs in time
With your beating heart
Sing Blue Silver
Sing, Sing Blue Silver
--There's more to this kind of camouflage, more--
--Than just color and shape--
--Who's calling now? From the twilight's last gleaming--
