Fantasy Doll

She has all the moves any love could use, though I can't recall much of yesterdays bad news, she's so alive and we're both so in tune, I want to move her right into my room...

Don't Look Back
02:47
|
|||
|
Don't look back - forget about the past, it will only make you sad - so don't you feel bad... / you only did what you had to do, no one knows what hell you went through, enjoy today and every new day, don't listen to a word those gloom and doomers say...

Canary
03:56
|
|||
|
Just a canary in a cage, trying to survive here another day, slaving away for pay, while keeping the wolves at bay, now living here this way, hoping to make it out o.k., taking to the stage, instead of decaying in our graves...Just a canary in a cage, whistling the blues away....

What I Need
04:15
|
|||
|
Cut your high drama Mamma, just pass me the butter, I don't want no more heart-ache, I've had all that I can take, cut your high drama Mamma, just pass me the syrup, I don't want no more nonsense, I've already made enough mistakes... / Won't you pass me those hotcakes? Should we make a meal out of these, or should we make some kind of fricassee? Instead of this petty bickering child, we could be making loving history...

Meaning of Love
03:47
|
|||
|
I looked into her eyes, as green sea tides seemed to rise, I looked into her eyes, at night they seemed to shine so bright, I looked into her eyes, as all my dreams came to life, Now I think I know the meaning of love, Now I think I know the way life's supposed to go, Now I think I know the meaning of love...

|
In the dead of winter back in 82' , that's when I came to know you, I'm not sure if it was love at first sight, but I know something was so very right, we were both heading the wrong way, that sure changed when the Good Lord had his say, Oh Renae, my sweet Renae, so sweet, so fine, I'm blessed you're mine...

Special Skills
03:29
|
|||
|
I want to love you doll, both night and day, why is it work always - gets in the way, we both have jobs - to pay the bills, can't get enough of your special skills, your'e blessed with ways, looks that could kill, like a starving man - I can't get my fill, to resist your charms - would be against my will, you know I crave - your loving thrills...

Guitar
03:55
|
|||
|
All I have here is my guitar, ever since my woman left me, all I have here is my guitar, once again I lost the one I held so dear, all alone for so many years, I dreamed of love through this valley of tears, I thought I'd found the one - that I'd been waiting for, only to crash and burn, upon love's rocky shores...Apparently she has no further use for me, was it twisted destiny - our fate would soon be history?, Before our love launched from the ground, it super-nova'd - showered down, then cast the fragments to the winds, never to be seen again...
|

|
So you lost at love - so what? But now it's time to get back up and get out of the dust, now it's time to get back up, and learn how to trust someone... you know you have to go, you have to go and try again, you don't know what will follow, but you have to go and try again, old love came to a bitter end, find a new love - and try again... / Hello Jeanette - out on the internet, I hope your gigabytes aren't as bad as your bark, don't ever lose power and leave me out in the dark, don't hit the delete key - and end this modern court and spark... Hello Jeanette out on the internet, are you pretty as your picture, and the e-mails that you sent?

Pathway

|
We are given this gift of life, with free will to do what we like, there are temptations that we have to face, there are temptations all over the place, so make the right choices - the best that you can, so go live your life like a righteous man, and when all your days on this earth they are done, the heavens may open and say you belong, if you live like you should, and you've spoken the truth, the angels will testify, and provide the proof, and say you belong to that heavenly band, because you lived the life - of a righteous man...

Esmeralda
05:04
|
|||
|
As she clasps her arms together, to draw a breath to sing so tender, Esmeralda - sure wish we knew you better, her voice like a love letter, soars airy light as a feather, her personality seems so free and easy, but she guards her heart-ache so that others do not see, Esmeralda - shake that tambourine and rock away the pain...

Retirement
03:54
|
|||
|
Working toward retirement - retirement never seems to come, never meant to be enjoyed by some, has never been a safe bet, is it quitting time just yet? Pushing harder everyday, you'd think it ought to get easy, but all that happens seems insane, as all these worries pour through my brain...push through my brain...

You Better Move
03:11
|
|||
|
She's like the creature from the Black Lagoon, she'll turn on you - whistle a happy tune, you'd better run away while you still can, or star in a chalk outline on a sidewalk man, she'll siphon all the life-blood out of you, exude an attitude burn grief for fuel ,they'll find you floating face down in a pool, plastic duck wrapped around your neck won't do any good...

Cheater's Paradise
04:29
|
|||
|
Welcome to cheater's paradise, I won't be watching because it's not a fair fight, nothing is sacred in this game of pro sports, so I won't be waving my team pennant anymore, fair is fair, except in love and war, but science, greed, and the needle has taken this too far, turn off your t.v. sets, tear up your season tickets, they've ripped the heart out of my chest, it's just an ugly business... take their big money away, put these lying fakers in their place, no more money grubbing junkie whores in pro sports...

Wrong Song
02:41
|
|||
|
Put up or shut up - now quit mouthing off Mr. Know It All, you think that you're so smart - you'd better break it on down before you're found out, you ought to zip it shut - always ranting on about this or that, take it apart - go back to the start, better check your facts now - they could be wrong! I don't want to be forced to listen to Aunt Blabby anymore, go away and bother somebody else, find another set of ears to chew on, go spew your poison in another direction, I don't want to hear about it. What does it matter if you are right, if you go about it all wrong?...

All Too Soon
03:06
|
|||
|
So are you off stalking your next victim yet? You know I feel sort of sorry for him, and the ringer you'll be pulling him through, and the ration of grief you'll be springing on the next dude, all too soon...Boo-hoo all the tears you cried, boo-hoo kept bottled up inside, boo-hoo all the lies you lied... you chewed up my heart and sucked all the light out of my eyes, Vampiress - queen of the damned, eye candy - poison ivy for any man, sayonara you evil thing, you, you won't get close enough to hurt me anymore in this world, and the end came crashing down, all too soon...

Stephan's Song

And the stars shine on, and the moon rises again, and the sun still warms us all, and I'm back with you my friend, as another new journey begins...

Too Far Gone
03:40
|
|||
|
I tried to reach out to her, but she's just too far gone, she never again wants to be together, she's dong worse - but she thinks it's better, she's just too far gone, the sad part is - she couldn't be more wrong, they've used her up - they strung her along, played her like a cheap sad song, she's just too far gone, caught up in an act where she don't belong...

Low Man
02:27
|
|||
|
Last hired - first fired, this freaking job's like walking on a tight wire, there's no safety net anywhere around, if you fall you crash smack dab into the ground, oh my - don't try to climb too high, don't go kissing the sky - you know you're going to die, you're the low man boy - you'd better tow the mark, before they smack you like a pitch right out of the park...

Betrayal Game - A
05:53
|
|||
|
You need to feel joy again, you need to be dragged back into the light, you need a lover and a friend, on that you can depend, so unsure to throw caution to the wind, so afraid to be cut that deep again, how can you be so afraid to live? Locked away inside a firestorm lies hidden...

Mean Justine
02:39
|
|||
|
She's lean, she's mean, she's squeaky clean, she drives so fast in her mean machine, you'd better watch out guys when she blows past, she just might roll over your sorry mass, don't get in her way, or there could be hell to pay, she's more of a man - than any of you will ever be...

Under the Radar
03:58
|
|||
|
Flying under the radar, just a low profile shooting star, laying low is just the way to go, going with the flow on out the door, behind the scene not making the scene, know where I'm going - and where I've been, a vital part of the machine, floating below the surface like Mr. Clean...
|

Betrayal Game - B
05:52
|
|||
|
So much sadness in this life, so little happiness - too much strife, but then you came along, and made life so much better, taking us where we'd both been too seldom, setting our sights - this time to get it right, holding out hope to carve out a life together, doing our best to care for our sons and daughters...

To Do
03:22
|
|||
|
What do I really want to sing about? There's not one topic I've really figured out, I've lived awhile but I still haven't got a clue, So tell me again - how I'm supposed to tell you what to do? Even though I'm not an expert by any means, even though I'm not an expert about anything, I'm just a dude with a microphone - spouting off with attitude, hoping this diatribe puts you in a silly mood - and you like the tune. I'm like an actor trying to stick to the script, but there's no director to tell me what scene comes next, there's no one in control of this long, strange trip, I will try not to hurt anyone when this airplane flips...

Window
04:26
|
|||
|
But how can you turn your back on the one who has always loved you? How can you ignore the one who has always been there for you? I don't understand - what happened to our loving plans? When love went out the window, which way were we supposed to go? When love went out the window, - how was I supposed to know? Now how am I supposed to move on - when my love she still lives on and on and on...
