D O W N T H E R O A D

Tell me you are happy, tell me what’s on your mind.

Come on make it snappy, cause I’m running out of time.

Wheels keep turnin’ faster, as on the road you flee.

Why can’t I ever master, the art of keeping you here with me.

Baby's here, Baby's gone, Down the road. Baby stays, Baby goes, Down the road

Baby when you left, I knew you would be back.

My heart’s a victim of theft, stolen by you and that’s a fact.

You are so elusive, like whispers in the wind.

Is it really so conclusive, will you ever be back again.

(repeat chorus)

Are you afraid of commitment, is that the reason that you run?

Cause freedom don’t bring contentment, like sharing your life with that special one.

Even though you’re miles away, my soul reaches out to you.

Past the shield around your heart so gray, I try to penetrate, come on let me through.

(repeat chorus)

S H E L I A B R O W N

The mirror breaks in a lonely room, she couldn’t stand to see the lines on her face.

She knew the end was coming soon, and those tender years could not be replaced.

Why did you live alone, Oh Shelia Brown?

Slapped in the face with life’s white glove.

Why did you live alone, Oh Shelia Brown?

You never did find out....About true love.

Sad to be lonely with an empty life, with the mirror in pieces she starts to sob.

No good memories, a life filled with strife, a soul waiting for the devil to rob.

(repeat chorus)

Tissue in hand she dries her eyes, takes a broom and sweeps up the pieces.

With no more excuses or alibis, she falls to the floor, her life ceases.

(repeat chorus)

T O M M Y S T A C K

This is the story of a man called Tommy Stack.

He’s gone forever, ain’t never coming back.

Played the game to long, got shot down in his prime.

Cause when you live the life of crime you get burned every time.

Oh Tommy Stack, couldn’t make the final cut.

Oh Tommy Stack, now they’ve nailed his coffin shut.

Oh Tommy Stack, his hands were stained blood red.

Thought he’d live forever, but now.....He’s graveyard dead.

On the life of others, Tommy Stack would feed.

And there was no controlling, his insatiable greed.

He wore his cloak of blood with a warped sense of pride.

And when he finally met his maker, nobody cried.

(repeat chorus)

A single bullet traveled right through his brain.

No one to morn him as his final blood did drain.

Now the kingdom’s overthrown, his body lies still and grey.

Hell’s gates are open wide as they bury him today.

(repeat chorus)

B E E N S E T F R E E

Driving down the highway, got a beer in my hand.

Cops right behind me, they don’t understand.

Since my baby left, just wanna drink and drive.

Can’t have her lovin’, I don’t wanna survive.

Been set free, in a sea of self destruction.

Sinking, in the quicksand of life.

I have no hope since she set me free.

The bottle’s got its bony arms round me.

Hangin’ with the wrong crowd, yes I know it’s true.

But since she’s gone got nothin’ better to do.

Been set free, in a sea of self destruction.

Sinking, in the quicksand of life.

(Repeat 1st Verse)

Been set free, in a sea of self destruction. Sinking in the quicksand of life.

I’m lost, in the wilderness of desertion. And falling, in the open grave of strife.

THE LAUGHER

Verse 1

We barely started. And it got harder. I’m not a martyr. I’ll go no farther.

Now where do we go? We’re lost in our home. Without a pillow. To watch the wind blow

chorus

I started, I started, I started…..

Can’t you see, without me?

I started, I started, I started…..

Can’t you find, your own way?

Verse 2

I been where this goes. She chose what she chose

It’s not disaster. If I’m the laugher.

chorus

I started, I started, I started…..Can’t you see, without me?

I started, I started, I started…..Can’t you find, your own way?

Bridge

chorus

I started, I started, I started…..Can’t you see, without me?

I started, I started, I started…..Can’t you find, your own way?

THE GIRL WITHOUT DIMENSION

(Verse One)

God, why did you abandon me? (I never abandoned you, you just lost your faith)

Replaced your pain with mine, and set me free, without giving me a sign?

And when I see my shadow alone (You'll never be alone, I am your shadow)

I smell fear in the room, no longer on my throne, I sense impending doom.

(Chorus)

Why do you want your own way? Why do I doubt

When will you confess? To the girl without dimension

God, please give light to this room

I know I need to, but fear consumes, my desire to change places with you

(Chorus)

(Interlude)

What do you want from me. Just please let me be.

Take this crown from my head, and the book of my life I already read

(Repeat Verse One)

T I M E O N M Y H A N D S

Why do you resist, what you know is true?

I don’t think you know, what you’re putting me through.

It’s out of my hands now, and I have no voice.

Got time on my hands now, Till you make your choice.

Time on my hands now, with nothing to do.

Spend night and day, just thinking of you.

It’s taken some time, but now I’m convinced,

that my time with you girl, has been time well spent.

You want to see others, something I’ll have to face.

Got time on my hands now, but you won’t be replaced.

(repeat chorus)

Freedom is great, but being loved is greater.

I’ve found out, you will sooner or later.

All that I ask, is that you find time for me.

Got time on my hands now, but don’t wanna be free.

(repeat chorus) Time on my hands now, the hours seem like days.

Waiting on you now, and your sweet loving ways.

R U N N I N G A W A Y

I know the pain. I felt the suffering. Sometimes it was more than I could stand.

There was nothing to gain, and no way of buffering. The pain I received at another’s hand.

Did not intend, to let it go so far. Was over my head before I knew.

I can’t pretend not to have scars. Like an ancient warrior beaten black and blue.

Running away, running away from it all. Hoping not to ever be caught again.

Looking over my shoulder, is it right behind? The torment I endured so long ago.

Even though I’m older, it seeps into my mind. Playing in my memory like a picture show.

I try to focus, on the here and now. How did those memories sneak into my brain?

Like swarms of locust, around my brow. Clouding my vision and causing me much pain.

Running away, running away from it all. Hoping not to ever be caught again.

N E U T R A L

Please won’t you take this guilt from me, I want to be set free

To live my life my own way, Live for tomorrow not today

Was I

Am I

Are we not the same?

Just so you know I’m not the one to blame.

Was I

Am I

Are we not the same?

Just so you know I’m not the one to blame.

Living too long a lie, just barely getting by

Must make a new start today, tired of never getting my say

(repeat chorus)

bridge

Why am I stuck here in this same place, Can’t go back can’t move ahead

I come in zero in this race, wish I was someone else instead.

SIMPLE BUT TRUE

I’ll never give you up, I’ll fight to the bitter end.

I’m not lame enough, to desert such a wonderful friend.

You’ve always been there for me, no matter the ordeal.

There’ll never be a reason, to change the way I feel.

Simple but true, I love you. No need to say it any other way.

You want me, to be your lover, So c’mon on and get with me.

Our love is so crazy, I got to get it on.

We’ve seen many hard times, but we’ve seen lots of good.

And when I’ve been out of line, you’ve always understood.

I know I can count on you, to keep me in my place,

Never feel the need to stray, your love I can’t replace.

Simple but true, I love you. No need to say it any other way.

You want me, to be your lover, So c’mon on and get with me.

Our love is so crazy, I got to get it on.

C’mon, C’mon, C’mon, C’mon, C’mon, C’mon, C’mon, C’mon

Yeah……………….
