VAGRANT OF WINDS
He comes along every blue moon night,Knows I’ve been waiting like a harbor light, welcoming home that old familiar tide of loving and longing in vain He’ll sail on in with the same promise in his eyes.He’ll see through my insouciance;He’ll see through my false pride Knowing I traced his path of stars through time and prayed they’d lead him back home Isn’t it time to give it a rest? My only crime is I’ve settled for less. I don’t know where love ends or begins, When my love is a Vagrant of Winds. I wish, I wish that blue moon, I wish that blue moon would change it’s colors.So, like the season, I could change lovers I can’t let go yet; my heart wants to forget that a vagrant dreams only alone Isn’t it time to give it a rest? My only crime is I’ve settled for less I don’t know where love ends or begins,When my love is a Vagrant of Winds

LIFELINE
Well, his bar sure is empty, About as empty as my heart. But those bottles look like there’s life left in them, and I got time to talk. You can sit down if you want to,throw some conversation my way, 'Cause me, I’m just drinking memories of better days. If you’re buying, I don’t mind trying stretching out the truth, doing a little denying to ease my pain. I need to remember the way that he held me, and if it takes another drink, maybe you could save me; I wanna feel that rush of love again. So won't you please, please, please be kind. Pretend that you’re him and throw me a lifeline. Well, I know beggars can’t be choosy,But tell me, who’s really choosing who? I mean, we’re both sitting here reminded of lovers we once knew. Requesting their favorite songs from that bartender,Watching their ghosts walk through that door.How come love always starts out so easy,‘till someone ends up wanting more. If you’re buying, I don’t mind trying Stretching out the truth, Doing a little denying to ease my pain. I need to remember the way that he held me,And if it takes another drink, maybe you could save me.I wanna feel that rush of love again. So won't you please, please, please be kind. Pretend that you’re him and throw me a lifeline. When the sun comes up, I swear I’ll deal with who I am. But can I rest here on this bar chair until then? If you’re buying, I don’t mind trying stretching out the truth, doing a little denying to ease my pain. I need to remember the way that he held me, and if it takes another drink, maybe you could save me; I wanna feel that rush of love again. So won't you please, please, please be kind. Pretend that you’re him and throw me a lifeline. Pretend that you’re him and throw me a lifeline

WHEN THE PARTY IS OVER
When the party is over, When dreams begin to fade, When friends have disappeared along with promises they made-When everything feels dark and hopeless, It might not be easy but I’ll try-To be whatever you need....until daylight. When the demons come to haunt you, when the failures comes to jeer-Even people you love say “I told you so”; No one believed you’d persevere When everything feels dark and hopeless, It might not be easy but I’ll try- To be whatever you need- until daylight. When being strong feels like a memory, When being kind feels like a chore,When your heart just feels too empty to ever dream of wanting more-You gotta know, you gotta know that- The party’s never over-New dreams will find the light of day. Friends that have disappeared don’t always stay that way. When everything feels dark and hopeless, It might not be easy but I’ll try-To be whatever you need- until daylight

THE COST
I’ve seen them come and go; I know your kind;You’re the kind that doesn’t stay. Like a mirage in the desert, when I am out of water,you’ll be gone and I’ll be thirsting for someone far away. I’ll be drinking up my memories, mixing them with brandy all alone. Time to pick your battles wisely; I won’t fight for anyone I’ve already lost. Time to plan your exit kindly; This is where we analyze the cost. The world is spinning too fast, or maybe I’m just thinking too slow. Spent my whole life learning how to get good at letting go. I’m trying to stay grounded,but the ground it keeps on shifting. The earth is getting nervous; It seems mankind is drifting. Children of tomorrow will be picking up the pieces of a wasteland. Time to pick your battles wisely; I won’t fight for anything I’ve already lost. Time to plan your exit kindly; This is where we analyze the cost.This is where we change our minds…Save the world one last time.This is where we analyze the cost

JUST FIX THIS
It's been six days since you went away, All I can say is I've been living a lie, I don't wanna live this way, I don't wanna live this way. Going through the motions, you'd think I'm fine, but I'm losing smile by smile; I got this pride that gets in my way. Could I just fix this in a minute, Yeah, could I just make this work out? Could I just fix this in. minute? If I reminded you…Could I just fix this in a minute, Yeah, could I just make this work out? Could I just fix this in a minute? If I reminded you? So the emptiness of you feels wrong; Not having you around with me feels wrong-I don't wanna feel wrong, noI don't wanna feel wrong. I'm no good when we're off; I just find myself so lost, so could we just switch it all back on, switch it all back on? Could I just fix this in a minute, Yeah, could I just make this work out? Could I just fix this in. minute? If I reminded you…Could I just fix this in a minute, Yeah, could I just make this work out? Could I just fix this in a minute? If I reminded you? So if I called you now,Would you pick it up? Would you talk to me? Could we get back to where we was? Would you love me just because, Would you love me? Could I just fix this in a minute, Yeah, could I just make this work out? Could I just fix this in. minute? If I reminded you…Could I just fix this in a minute, Yeah, could I just make this work out? Could I just fix this in a minute? If I reminded you? It's been 6 days since you went away

VENICE BEACH
L.A., Venice Beach, 
Everyone's a star here. 
L.A., Venice Beach-
Did I lose me in the moonlight 
With waves dancing at my feet?
 Did the warning you were throwing slip past me as I turned to become a star? 
City with no soul, winds without a still-
 Beneath the sunny surface rage a thousand stormy wills that haggle over egos and these funny little pills
 that make you the best you can be.

 What do you do when your dream drives you crazy, and the sunshine's way too bright? 
Can't get lazy if you're gonna get famous; 
They tell me it can happen overnight so-
I'm fighting stronger because I can; 
I'm fighting dirty because I am 
still in the game, don't you understand?
 Every time you kick me down, I come right back up again
. Every time you kick me down, I come right back up again. Sun's up; surfs down
,Today is the day I conquer Tinseltown
 There's people I should be sleeping with, 
Parties where I need to show,
It's not about the talent, but about who you know
. So I'm bored by the Boardwalk,but I'm on TV!
Strung out over coffee and people I don't need 
If you got a hole in your soul,this is the best place to be
 Everyone in LA knows what it's like to be real hungry.What do you do when your dream drives you crazy, and the sunshine's way too bright? 
Can't get lazy if you're gonna get famous; 
They tell me it can happen overnight so-
I'm fighting stronger because I can; 
I'm fighting dirty because I am 
still in the game, don't you understand?
 Every time you kick me down, I come right back up again
. Every time you kick me down, I come right back up again. I see you in me; I see me in you crawling through the maze for a dream that might come true. All half-naked, all hardcore
, stripped to the raw and ready for more. What do you do when your dream drives you crazy, and the sunshine's way too bright? 
Can't get lazy if you're gonna get famous; 
They tell me it can happen overnight so-
I'm fighting stronger because I can; 
I'm fighting dirty because I am 
still in the game, don't you understand?
 Every time you kick me down, I come right back up again
. Every time you kick me down, I come right back up again. Another audition, another day. Everything is golden When you’re living in LA

CHA CHA CHARLIE
Charlie’s problems walk in on legs that catch his stare. The legs belong to Suzie; She swings her hips with flair. Her barfly wings are torn, She’s broke and tends to frown. Charlie says “Yo Suzie, can I buy the next round?” Cha Cha Charlie, Cha Cha Charlie, Why do you do the things you do?
Cha Cha Charlie, Cha Cha Charlie,That woman’s gonna be the death of you. She’s gonna be the death of my Charlie. So the two of them hitch up, 'till Suzie’s convicted for scam. Her latrine lips convince the cops, she says "Charlies the main man ‘cause he always slums for secrets in the vagrant part of town. Sniffing out the best deals going down. Cha Cha Charlie, Cha Cha Charlie, Why do you do the things you do? Cha Cha Charlie, Cha Cha Charlie,That woman’s gonna be the death of you. She’s gonna be the death of my Charlie.  Now Charlie’s in the cooler with the rest of the cocaine crew. Had to go cold turkey; He's been chewing shredded news. Cha Cha Charlie, Cha Cha Charlie, Why do you do the things you do? Cha Cha Charlie, Cha Cha Charlie,That woman’s gonna be the death of you. She’s gonna be the death of my Charlie. 

TROUBLE
Moon hangs low; Sky is clear Some kind of tension’s riding the air His gaze is poison; His touch is a crime He’s got me coming back in a state of rewind. I can fight the Devil; I can fight anything. I can fight anything, anything but him because he's trouble when he’s with me; Trouble when he’s gone. Trouble when he’s loving me; Trouble when he don’t. Trouble when he tells the truth; Trouble when he lies. I see the devil in my angels eyes. Love can be a slippery slope-Like a pile of quicksand that swallows you whole. Got these little pebbles of jealousy in my bed. I got demons in my head. I can fight the Devil; I can fight anything. I can fight anything, anything but him because he's trouble when he’s with me; Trouble when he’s gone. Trouble when he’s loving me; Trouble when he don’t. Trouble when he tells the truth;Trouble when he lies. I see the devil in my angels eyes

THE HUNGER
Sifting through sorrows with a case of beer. Once in a while, a tentative smile flickers as her memory becomes clear. He was out on a drinking spree,waving his bottle like a trophy when he saw her. She was like a covergirl slumming undercover. His awaited muse to ease the poetry blues so he says “I’m a chance you really should discover yeah”. She took him on, and she took him to AA; He says “let me love you drunk, babe, I’m too old to change”. Ain’t nowhere to run when the bottle is empty, No salvation when your mind is clear. Ain’t enough angels in the heavens to save you when the hunger’s here. I can’t fight these demons when the walls start closing in when the world’s too small for reason,The Hunger Always Wins. She looks at him for the last sad time says I’m no savior and, I’m not blind I’ve built my walls from bricks of self defence. I’d tear them down in just one day If I could find a man who could make me stay and believe in something your promises are beautiful but much too broken. Ain’t nowhere to run when the bottle is empty, No salvation when your mind is clear. Ain’t enough angels in the heavens to save you when the hunger’s here. I can’t fight these demons when the walls start closing in. When the world’s too small for reason, The Hunger Always Wins
 

BURIED ALIVE
Get me a ticket to freedom, Right now freedom’s my only friend.  Just lost my lover to a hungry city that chewed him up and spit him out again. Get me a glass of water; My throat feels kind of dry Too many cigarettes and happy hour opiates are breaking my stride. Don’t know what I’m running for, Don’t know why I try to hide. Don’t know where these scars and bruises come from- All I know is I’ve been Buried Alive. Papa say I be a rebel; mama say my spirit should run wild. So my spirits run all over the world, but my soul ‘s never satisfied. Don’t know what I’m running for, Don’t know why I try to hide. Don’t know where these scars and bruises come from-All I know is I’ve been Buried Alive. Well, I dig, and I dig and I dig through the dirt, and I dig and I dig and I dig through the hurt…And I dig and I dig and I dig and I dig, Yeah, I dig just to see if digging works. Don’t know what I’m running for, Don’t know why I try to hide. Don’t know where these scars and bruises come from- All I know is I’ve been Buried Alive
