1. If a Tree Falls in the Forest  

Ooh, come on
You can be my guiding light tonight
And you say
That you are spiritual
Dancing in the red light madness
Locked into a higher cause
Only love can free
If a tree falls in the forest
And there’s nobody around
Does it make a sound
When it comes crashing to the ground
Or is it just God's symphony
For you and me.

Hey, hello
I will be the witness to your star
A spirit in the face of destiny
Enchanting and without fear rising
High in the inevitable
Tide of ecstasy
If a tree falls in the forest
And there’s nobody around
Does it make a sound
When it comes crashing to the ground
Or is it just God's symphony
For you and me.

On and on
You can feel the beating of this drum
In the silent desires peacefully
Love will know that we were here
Naked in this journey’s inn
And you were my one true friend
If a tree falls in the forest
And there’s nobody around
Does it make a sound
When it comes crashing to the ground
If a tree falls in the forest. . .

 

2. All the Love You Find  

I remember when
We were young and innocent
Setting out on our fate and destiny
And the words rang through
All the songs that we all knew
There was no time
To hear the things
My father said

All the love you find
Is the love you bring
All the love you find
Is the love you bring
To this world
All the love you find
Is the love you bring.

You can build a time machine
Take a trip to some other dream
That promises you more love
Than our poor hearts can hold
Where every day the colors rage
And the wise men say
"we've turned a page"
Dazzled in the passions
And the mystery

All the love you find
Is the love you bring
All the love you find
Is the love you bring
To this world
All the love you find
Is the love you bring.

You can take it to the bank
Love can take you to the cleaners
Love can take you to your higher place
Or get you little meaner

You can find a sunny day
A home on a mountains
With a place to pray
And all the money that you need
To spend right here
And you may find a one-night-stand
And a warm sweet soul
To hold your hand
But all the love you'll find
Is another thing

All the love you find
Is the love you bring.

 

3. Everybody's Crazy  

When we were kids
And on a very fine day
We used to play the games
That children play
The sun was so high
And the people were so tall
And they would all come
When we called
But as time went rushing by
And we became grown-up
The sun went down
We were so tall
and nobody comes
When we call

'Cause everybody's crazy
Living in this world
Looking for a dream to fall on
They keep running
As fast as they can
Trying to catch up with tomorrow.

Each morning we rise
To another new day
Got to play the games
That grown-ups play
The world goes round
And the people turn
The moon can make you crazy
And the sun will burn
And if one in a million faces
Out there in this great wide parade
And if by chance two stars collide
I wish it were me and you

Cause everybody's crazy
Living in this world
Looking for a dream to fall on
They keep running
As fast as they can
Trying to catch up with tomorrow.

And when the sun goes down
And the shadows come creeping
I would be the one to hold you
Gently while you're sleeping
Cause everybody's crazy
Living in this world
Looking for a dream to fall on
They keep running
As fast as they can
Trying to catch up with tomorrow.

 

4. The Things You Do

I never felt the rain before
I never saw the sun
I never heard the wind before
There's a new day coming on

And it's all because of
The things you do
It's all because of you
Who changed my life
You
The things you do.

I stand on top of world and find
I got a paintbrush in my hand
A canvas white and clean and new
All spread out across this land

And once I was lost
And now I am found
On the edge of great danger
You turned me around

I am the earth spinning in space
Deep in the sun's bright glow
And everywhere I see new life
Where nothing used to grow.

 

5. Where is the Love

Staring at the ceiling
Can't shake this feeling
I had no sleep all night
Tossing and turning
Freezing and burning
Just like some restless
Midnight rambler
Where is the love
Where are the promises
When the darkness comes
To steal your heart away.

Since we decided
To live our lives divided
You can make it through the day
But you just can't get over the night
And my heart says
Where is the love
Where are the promises
When the darkness comes
To steal your heart away.

Oh darling
I'd give everything I have
If I could wash that hurt look from your eyes
My sweet darling
I know you can forgive
Cause the feelings never forget

When two hearts beat as one
Where is the love
Where are the promises
When the darkness comes
To steal your heart away
Where is the love
Where are the promises
When the darkness comes
To steal your heart away.

 

6. Subject to Change  

So tell me how are you feeling now
Are you satisfied
Have all the changes brought you
where you want to be
Do you have someone who satisfies you
Lets you sleep with an easy heart
And greets the morning feeling good

When change is subject to change
Change is subject to change.

When you look around
Are the streets still filled with gold
Or am I asking you more 
than you can tell
You and I know most of all
Even common ground
Is subject to changE

Change is subject to change
Change is subject to change.

Do you still believe
Where the rainbow ends
Is bright and still worth while
Is it still a good time
And just a beautiful dream
When even rainbows
Are subject to change

Change is subject to change
Change is subject to change.

Tell me now
Last time I saw you were 
Making resolutions
Cleaning out the cupboards
And sweeping out the hall
Talking about life changes
Find a new tomorrow
Betting on the chances
You were never looking back

Making your decisions
You were breaking out the mold
Tearing out the pages
You were standing high and bold
Cast off your old friend
Like a dirty shirt on Friday
You were leading the parade
That was blowing out of town

Change is subject to change
Change is subject to change. . .

 

7. Hey Baby  

Standing breathless on the moon
Stole a kiss and left too soon
Here I hold the faithful flame
As the angels whisper your name
Hey baby come to me
Hey baby come on this way.

All the foot prints on the ground
Promised you would come around
Slowly dancing in the quicksilver light
Come and be mine tonight
Hey baby come to me
Hey baby come on this way.

And I'm waiting over here for you
When your love is passing through
I got no reservations
Just a table set for two
Hey baby come to me
Hey baby come on this way.

Come the winter snow and rain
I will ease your fears and sooth your pain
Bring you happiness unknown
You won't have to be alone
Hey baby come to me
Hey baby come on this way.

 

8. Maybe Someday  

Let the music play
Let the children sway
Maybe someday
We could fall in love
While the wheels go
Round to the certain sound
All around and round
Until love is found
Maybe someday
There will come what may
Maybe some day
We could fall in love.

Let the beat go on
To the certain song
And it won't be long
Till the blues are gone
And let the music play
When the children say.

Maybe someday
Love will find a way
Maybe someday
There will come what may
Maybe some day
We could fall in love.

Let the music play
Let the children sway
And maybe someday
We could, you know what
And the clouds will part
Open up your heart
Take my hand
And we can walk out into the sunset, yeah
Maybe someday
There will come what may
Maybe some day
We could fall in love
Maybe someday
There will come what may
Maybe some day
We could fall in love.

 

9. Stranger at Your Door  

Late in the night
Somebody's knocking
Somebody's there
There was no one
That you expected
This late in the evening
And you wonder
Who is the stranger
At your door.

Is it someone
Seeking shelter
From the cold
Is it someone taking refuge
Under the pale moonlight
After the thunder
Who is the stranger
At your door.

In these days
When faces come
And faces go
And you can’t depend on nobody
While you try to stay a somebody
And you hold back.
Who is the stranger
Stranger at your door.

Who is the stranger
Who is the stranger.

With your head
Still on your pillow
And your feet half way
On the ground
Can a miracle have found you
To end this loneliness
That surrounds you
As you rise
To face the stranger
at your door.

Who is the stranger
Who is the stranger.

 

10. Morning Brings Delight  

Sunshine came with roses
Shining on this land
I awoke like Moses
Wading in the sand
On the shores of new emotions
Rising from the deepest oceans
Everywhere, everywhere
As the morning brings delight
Morning brings delight
Morning brings delight

Hi, you lonely dreamer
Said the morning bright
There’s so much between us
And everything can turn out right
'cause a man with a mission gets things done
Makes a rainbow when there’s none
So everywhere, everywhere
The morning brings delight
Morning brings delight
Morning brings delight
Morning brings delight

As the light rays fall
Alone the truth it stands
And so love exposes
Every gamblers hand
Put-up or shut-up
Get-out-of-the-shade
Nothing ventured nothing gained
When everywhere, everywhere
The morning brings delight
Morning brings delight
Morning brings delight

Man with a mission gets things done
Makes a rainbow when there's none
Man with a mission gets things done
Makes a rainbow when there's none
Man with a mission gets things done
Makes a rainbow when there's none
Morning brings delight
Morning brings delight

On the shores of new emotions
Rising from the deepest oceans
Morning brings delight
Morning brings delight

On the shores of new emotions
Rising from the deepest oceans
Morning brings delight
Morning brings delight
On the shores of new emotions
Rising from....

 

11. Glass Man  

Took the freight elevator to the moon
Stepped out startled and removed
Hot and cold the faith remained
The great deep whispered my name
Glass man follow me
Glass man this way.

Change your face
And you change your mind
Still you’re wrong and still you’re right
Say you’ve seen more
Than a mortal man should see
Well you ain’t seen nothing yet
Glass man follow me
Glass man this way.

What you got to lose
Close to the fire we go
One step closer
What you desire
Is almost there.

You can’t run and you can’t hide
Afraid to live and afraid to die
That’s the way when hearts collide
You can’t slip your fate this time
What you got to lose
Close to the fire we go
One step closer
What you desire is almost there...

 

12. The Two of Us

Mama, the darkness came and went
The dreams I thought I'd spent
Have turned up at my door

Mama, and all of them came true
They came home just for you
And maybe for the two of us

The two of us
Oh the two of us.

And so all alone
it was a beautiful song
You sang to me
Always at my side
Like a beautiful angel
On my shoulder
Guiding me on

The darkness came and went
The dreams I thought I spent
Have turned up at my door. . .

1. There's a Woman in that Child  

She’s got stereo vision
And quadraphonic wheels
She looks like a woman
And it’s just the way she feels tonight

She’s in perfect tune
To receive and drive you wild
She’s just fourteen
There’s a woman in that child
Woman in that child.

She can kiss you all over
With her radioactive smile
Keep you hanging on
With every move and double line she deals

She walks like an angel
Spirit in the sky
She can tease with the skill
Of a woman in that child
Woman in that child.

 

2. Another Road  

I’ve been on this road too long
Singing the same old songs
It’s about time that I started
Changing my tunes

And I’ve been listening to the same old show
Playing on the radio.
It’s about time that I changed
My point of view

There’s got to be another road
Another story yet untold
There’s got to be another song to sing

There’s got to be another road
Another dream to shake my soul
There’s got to be another bell to ring.

I’ve listened to the same old friends
And none of them are making sense
They’re always telling me about
The way things have to be

Between the lines that have been read
Wiser men than I have said
And I believe them more and more with every day

There’s got to be another road
Another story yet untold
There’s got to be another song to sing

There’s got to be another road
Another dream to shake my soul
There’s got to be another bell to ring.

Didn’t anybody tell you as a child
How dreams can turn
And slip and slide
And through a lifetime of unknown
You’ll search and search
To find your own

There’s got to be another road
Another story yet untold
There’s got to be another song to sing

There’s got to be another road
Another dream to shake my soul
There’s got to be another bell to ring.

 

3. Mystery Man  

You can see him in the sky
If you almost close your eyes
And pretend that you are looking at the sun
He’s the shadow silhouette
That you never will forget
And you’ll know
That you have seen the mystery man

Mystery man will set your soul on fire
For the love that you give
In a moment’s desire
Mystery man will set your soul in fire
Mystery man will set your soul in fire
Mystery man.

He will catch you by surprise
If you completely close your eyes
And no one really knows what he will do
So it’s you who must decide
What is wrong and what is right
He could take your love
And break your heart in two

Mystery man will set your soul on fire
For the love that you give
In a moment’s desire
Mystery man will set your soul in fire
Mystery man will set your soul in fire
Mystery man.

 

4. All the Way Up

Which way are we going honey
Our life need reviving
Our love is like a two way street
And which way are you driving

Is it all the way up
Or all the way down
From now on
All the way up
Or all the way down
From now on
All the way up
Or all the way down
From now on.

Which way is it going to be
You really have to chose
It’s lonely in the middle too
And just as much to lose

Is it all the way up
Or all the way down
From now on
All the way up
Or all the way down
From now on
All the way up
Or all the way down
From now on.

 

5. Rock 'n Roller  

Living out of a suitcase
Crashing out at a friends place
But I’m much too proud to lose faith
Cause I wanna be a rock 'n roller

I wanna be a rock 'n roller
Burning deep in my soul
I wanna be a rock 'n roller
Just wanna play rock 'n roll
Oh Ah Oohoo hoo hoo.

Some kids get to drive a bus
Other read a book a don’t make a fuss
If I never get to be a star
I know I was born to play guitar

And I wanna be a rock 'n roller
Burning deep in my soul
I wanna be a rock 'n roller
Just wanna play rock 'n roll
Oh ah, oohoo hoo hoo.

Each morning I rise to another new day
Got to play the games that grown ups play
The world goes round and the people turn
I just had a dream that I have to learn

And I wanna be a rock 'n roller
Burning deep in my soul
I wanna be a rock 'n roller
Just wanna play rock 'n roll
Oh Ah Ohooo hoo hoo.

Living out of a suitcase
Crashing out at a friends place
But I’m much too proud to lose faith
'Cause I wanna be a rock 'n roller
I wanna be a rock 'n roller
Burning deep in my soul
I wanna. . .

 

6. No Tracks for this Train  

No tracks for this train
No end to the changes
Just the need to explain

I’ve got the ticket
And you the return
A mirror and some matches
And bridges to burn

We’ve a knife with two edges
And a string with no end
Masks made of glass
A flute and a pen

And there are no maps for this journey
No tracks for this train
No end to the changes
Just the need to explain.

I have some pictures
That no one has seen
Taken in places
That no one has been

There’s one of an atom
That shines like a star
And one of ourselves
But not as we are

And there are no maps for this journey
No tracks for this train
No end to the changes
Just the need to explain
No maps for this journey
No tracks for this train.

 

7. My Friends and Me  

Shelly listens to Elvis
Joseph loves the Soft Machine
John gave his ears to the early Beatles
When Paul always talked to the Queen
Martha stands on the corner
Waiting for her train to come
And I’m in there
Somewhere in the middle
Somehow I just don’t understand

My friends and me
Friends friends and me
Friends and me
My friends and me
Friends friends and me
My friends and me.

Pete went off to California
Painting pictures in the sun
Michael is still looking for satisfaction
Is he going to find it with some one
Terry tried but didn't make it
Just dropped right out of sight
And I’m in there
Somewhere in the middle
Somehow I just don’t understand

My friends and me
Friends friends and me
My friends and me
Friends friends and me
My friends and me.

James P burned out at art school
Shooting up behind the gym
Dyed his hair like Ziggi Stardust
And that’s the last I saw of him
Sure we’ve all had our share of fuck-ups
And I’m amazed how some of us pulled through
And were right here
Somewhere in the middle
Sometimes we just don’t understand

My friends and me
Friends friends and me
My friends and me friends friends and me
My friends and me.

 

8. Oh Baby  

Looking inside me
I knew that the fires were burning
I needed someone to hold
And let them shine
And here in this place
I’m seeing you face
And feeling the love that we made

Oh baby oh baby
Your loving is crazy
Oh baby oh baby
How much you amaze me.

With every move that we made
I was only learning
It didn’t take me long to understand
That you have a face
With love in its place
And nothing can change my mind

Oh baby oh baby
Your loving is crazy
Oh baby oh baby
How much you amaze me
Oh baby oh baby
Your loving is oh so crazy
Oh baby oh baby
How much you amaze me.

Oh you have a face
With love in its place
And nothing can change my mind
Oh baby oh baby
Your loving is crazy
Oh baby oh baby
How much you amaze me
Oh baby oh baby
Your loving is oh so crazy
Oh baby oh baby
How much you amaze me.

 

9. Love is a Killer

Keep complaining all that you must
Love is vicious and it’s never just
Passions change and eternally tease
You can’t argue with a fatal disease
Oh oh oh oh love is a killer
Oh oh oh oh my foolish heart.

Count your blessings if you survive
A deadly blow will take your live
Knock on wood with bloody hand
Don’t knock me down with a fatal romance
'Cause oh oh oh oh love is a killer
Oh oh oh oh my foolish heart.

Close your eyes and you can see the ghosts
Of all the lovers that have overdosed
Out in the distance you can hear them cry
Feeling nothing but they just can’t die
And oh oh oh oh love is a killer
Oh oh oh oh my foolish heart.

 

10. Crazy Dancing  

Living on a wire
Feels alright
Give a little fire
To a burning light
High on a dream
And a fools gold prize
Telling tales
Like you tell no lies
Dancing
Crazy dancing
Looking for romancing
Crazy dancing
Everybody’s
Dancing crazy
Dancing crazy dancing.

You never win
And you never loose
You soft shoe shuffle
In your blue suede shoes
Dealing marked cards
Any way you choose
Rolling dice
Till they’re all confused
Dancing
Crazy dancing
Looking for romancing
Crazy dancing
Everybody’s
Dancing crazy dancing
Dancing crazy dancing.

You sell me yes
With your Freudian no
Holding back
When you mean to go
Round and round
Where the beat may fall
Saying nothing
But you’re telling all
With all your dancing
Crazy dancing dancing
Looking for romancing
Crazy dancing
Everybody’s
Dancing
Crazy dancing
Dancing crazy dancing.
