a dose of rock n roll
is the fixx i need when your not around
see it's in your face
don't refuse the thing that keeps me going
bend back & let me rush down your hall
you wear your skirt so high
you smile like a child
but your eyes run so wild
your the roll of the dice
honey why do you look so nice when your down
repeat 1
there's no need to search
i think the church has heard my need
there's about as much of me in you
you hold so much cause you've been around
your there when friends seem so underground
a dose of rock n roll
is the one that makes me hard when things are tight
it's the key where i need to kick the door
it's the healer when the pain is a pain
it's a shoulder when i need someone to lean on -
repeat 1 again end

BEER ON THE SHELF
there you are surrounded
by a group of people
you sit there wondering
who really wants or needs more
you were made of bad intentions
but you refuse to go away
when such a good thing can't be that bad
that's where your wrong
beer on the shelf
that's where you belong
you still think you look good
come to think of it
i think you look better bottled up
that way there's no mess
no stale stain no pain on my gain
can't seem to get you out of my mind
i saw you on t.v.
surrounded by advertisement
someone always has a good word to say about you
as their breath really tastes worst than they admit
shit i better end this
don't want to excite you but i know
beer on the shelf
with so little worth
more or less who's counting calories
not so much
where's the bills that fall on the ground
you better leave now
cause i don't want to see you around

CANDLES BURN
i waste alot of time
listening to rock and roll
but that's alright it's time well spent
honey, where has all the time gone
the way you speak
in that unknown language
makes my mind escape
to that world where you are raped
i'll wait for your love
while my candle burns for you
i can't explain what you do to my desires
you got my flesh in a hot sweat
you got me requesting your love
show me your smile
when i take you a mile
talk to me

CARRIE
Carrie is a girl i met
at a loading zone
scarf around her neck
gypsy boots over her tattooed ankle
she was raised by her grandparents
grew up in the mountains
bathed in the river and basked in the sunlight
she smiled with grace
and made any man proud to lay her down
Carrie you always had a way
to get me carried away
forget life you put my mind in a way to carry on
you carry on
someday i'll carry you away and make you mine
Carrie held reality in her heart
when she spoke she had soul
she's a natural when it came to pleasure
her gentle hands always told me
she'd take me easy when things got too hard
her body told me the truth
when she undid her dress
Carrie never go away
stay till the stars fall down
and your love is the best
as our souls take a leave of rest
Orlando Florida August 1996

DESIGNATED DRIVER
when you find yourself
stumbling out of a bar
the last place you should be is in your car
at least not alone
designated driver
you can call toll free
it's up to you not me
you make the call

let's help some Americans
do test, no driver no go
before they exit the clubs
let's keep the streets safe
designated driver
you can save the night
help your neighbor
when they don't ask
the question we should all be aware
i'm too drunk, too high
to have some common sense

DO YOU KNOW WHEN
do you have the time?
do you know the last time
the sky turned purple - blue
do you remember the last time
you gave charity away
without asking why
when's the last time you heard
a knock on your door
do you know when
it's time to say when
when can be a big question
temptations can be good or bad
don't always trust the taste
remember to check out
once you check in
have you open a jar
but we're unable to feel the bottom
sweet isn't necessarily honey
if you don't first gel
perfume is fine
but don't hide the truth
the beauty within
always has a way of turning me on
the curves that run throughout your body
are more than i could find
on any Hollywood or Detroit freeway
every ounce of drop that falls from you
rest wearily on my soul

EXIT
when you were a child
you grew up fast and wild
your dad was hardly home
and your mother was always smiling
at the fools who called themselves men
the years went by
the tears ran dry
your friends
were your closest companions
got a little high
got a good buzz
got a little squeeze
but you ended up
on hands n knees
exit - you must break the chain
exit - you got to fly away
exit - they never could prison your mind
someone handed you a gun
was a frame
the trigger said your to blame
they locked you up
put your picture on a post
nine years without sunlight
without love

EXIT II
it's like a blindfold
that's been ripped from your eyes
years behind time
people thought you were dead
left town
now you stand on the streets
noise coming from everywhere
silence, cars men laughing out loud
you can't cope with it
your heads in twilight
as you find yourself in the handicap zone
and you can't stop the force of music
coming out of your head
exit - mother tell me what it's all about
exit - was i born to pain
exit - why do i suffer so
exit - does anybody know my name
you can't walk the past
when the future is in front of you
you still see the key
that holds the security
you can't lose
someday sometime
this wall will break

FLASHBACK...
spinning back in time
sky is falling
earth still turning
stars flying
space moving in all directions
planets are evolving
escaping in the sun
i'm flying back
childhood is appearing
faces are coming to view
some i don't want to see
smiles of pleasure
i remember that one
i went a little deeper than i should of
has this life been all a dream
or was it a phase
no not a purple haze
it wasn't a drug
couldn't of been the flu bug
but it's all leaving me now
it's being swept all under the rug
was it all a test
was it a race
Man at the end of a tunnel
has holes in His hands
says there's life after life after life
where am i going
will i write about it
will i tell anyone about it will i?

HIGH
heineken vodka with pineapple juice
rolled up papers pills heroin
any way you can get off the ground
spin around in space
music inspiration
sexual wonders beyond your imagination
GOD is so much higher
you get high on His downcast on you
high can be good
when you have the sense
to focus on being sober in mind
you gotta be free
to see the light
to see thru the night
to see you can't miss the flight
i know this world
can get old
some people can be a drag
when you been there before
you harbor in those confines
search for the truth
cause an answer is always
waiting at the door
high can bring you back to reality
it reaches places
that been dormant too long
pain & tears may flow
but love holds you together
so you don't lose your way
everybody's gonna make it anyway

I JUST WANT TO BE IN LOVE... AGAIN
looking at the moon so full
looking at the big sun
looking at the large bright sky
my heart is telling me to be strong
loneliness won't bring me down
i look at couples differently now
even children get to me
and i know i blew the times i missed with my boys
i just want to be in love again
taste those lips of wine
find the spirit only lovers find
i want to kiss her for hours
dance till i can't feel the floor
love's a mystery and love will have another victim another captive
she prays to a higher power
unknown to the darkness below
her body is a fountain springing up into life
and every drop that comes from inside her
tastes sweeter than the day before
i wanna hold your hand
take a long walk with you
i'll never give up on love
because i know i'm created to find my woman
i know she's searching too
somehow our eyes will meet
and will know
her smile & face will find grace in my heart
and the fight will be over

I KNOW I LOVE YOU
so much anguish & pain
fighting with reality
your always there
through the cozy nights & empty days
yet you didn't complain
somehow our flesh touched and we would never be the same
i ran too deep
and slipped into the boundaries
of your heart
so fragile angry deceiving
bitter & sweet
a fountain i couldn't stand to taste again
but i know i love you (placed there in my heart)
i know i could care
for the rest of my life
as for the beginning of finding
i'll find the fulfillment where's the promise
as Jesus Christ draws closer & closer
i'll struggle with imagining
i'll laugh & cry
so silent & sure
i love you..
it's not that i have to
but you chased the pain that's been anticipating

JUST USE YOUR IMAGINATION
once upon a time
i met you in a crowded bar
you couldn't hide your body
that held you so tight
i thought about it
enough of wondering
i found myself
talking so close to you
i know guys were jealous
but it was my turn
my chance woman
to prove to you
if my lips melt on yours
you better handle my fluid flow (just use your imagination)
if my tongue reaches inside
you better open wide (just use your imagination)
we're running out of time
this place has got to call it a night
we could go on
or call it a close one

LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT HER
she's a rebel
she's a lover
she's a girl
a woman you would try
she gets high
you'll watch her cry
she's all for one or none at all
happiness no one can steal
she'll share it
and time after time
you can enjoy
relive it and sing with it
let me tell you about her
she'll take the low instead of the high
she can cool
if you don't go dry
she's that kind of woman
and she's mine
and i don't mind cause she won't get behind
she'll find you
before you find her
she's a prayer
waiting to be reached
to someone who loves

NICE TO BE WANTED
when all i wanted
was a smile from you
just a chance to hear you
call out my name
you got a way
to turn any male your way
married or with money
their hands reach for more
than what's hidden in their pockets
now i can't fully explain
what you do to me
i can try to explain
how i feel
but i don't think
i could tell you
the truth i feel inside
but now i know i'm losing you
nice to be wanted
in these dreams where lovers are too tired to be touched
of love too high to reach
of inescapable desires
tonight i'll chase you around
in my fantasies
i'll meet you on a busy street
of intersections of lies & compromise
where no one knows you or me
will run forever
where reality never finds the dream

PSYCHOTIC BATH
when you see me
you don't see the clouds and thunder
the mystery in my eyes
when you see my baby
you don't feel the fire
she breathes day and night
we're a lovers' perfect fantasy
we're a picture of a thousand words
there we are in our psychotic bath
light the candles
tip the wine
naked little bodies
smothered in bubbles
laughing and caressing
chasing our cares away
the waters taking our pain away
little darlin'
you're more important
than the stars above
more important
than the beach on the shore
gonna prove it to you
when i look into your eyes
gonna show you
when i get deep inside you
Psychotic vibe
keep on shining
always bring me
a new tune
keep on showing her
she's always special
keep a strong heart
and always
keep the spirit

PUT IT IN MY POCKET
i'll never forget
how she coined the phrase
put it in my pocket
put it around my neck
put it in a gold chain
wear it around in a locket
picture of you & me
when you can't put your love in me
i see yes i can see
life goes around in circles
lifestyles, smiles & sexual references
we're going back to the fifties sixties & seventies
the creativity is neverending
we're going back to square one
love is the key
and money is the only thing that will drive you home
but i keep on hearing
how she said the phrase
put it back in my pocket
gonna wrap it around my neck
i'll put it in a gold chain
show it off like in a locket
memories of you & i
when you're not around to love me
on the floor
on the furniture
on the stairs

RISKY WHISKEY
she's troubled water
with some shakin' up juice
she's unstable
and no one can't tame her
when she gets lost in your soul
your mind gets blacken
and your time starts slidin'
risky whiskey
has taken you for a ride
she runs wild in the wake of the night
talking crazy for hours
not even a cold shower
can shake the liquor from your blood
that runs the cold to heat
i haven't touched the bottle
or smelled the taste she leaves behind in awhile
but i know she's there
never alone always with her
mixed up friends
in some crowded bar
or hanging out in some lonesome closet door
risky whiskey
i think it's time to go to sleep
you take the dreams away
waken a little hung over
but i gotta laugh back
at the little things i said
and the things i done
risky whiskey your such a trip

SUSPICION
you got suspicion on your mind
you got suspicion in your eyes
you got suspicion in your lies
you can see it in your walk
you can hear it in your heart
you can tell by the way you brush your hair
you can see it in your smile
you got your frail fingers
wrapped around your mixed drink
you got your red dress on so tight
i don't know how you breathe
your lips so bright and full
finally i got you home
music on the hi-fi
sitting with you on the sofa
careless conversation
i can't help thinking
there can't possibly be a future
with a woman with such
suspicion creeping in my mind
we danced once or twice
your tongue wrapped around mine
like a fool i let you put your hand
wherever you desired
the nights gone crazy in this wild fire
i had to cool out
i had to show you to the door

STAR GAZER
you smile with such grace
i just want to put it in your face
just put you woman in your place
i see the beads of sweat
coming off your head
i see the curve of your waist
i want my hands wrapped around the small of your back
i see the times are changing
i know we've got to start rearranging
our love for one another
communicating & listening will end the war
if we join hands we could disappear
escape in the thin air
leave the trees to stare
but the love you got woman
will live in my heart forever
wrap your chains around me
and let the key turn where it will
you got the face of an angel
with a body of a dancer
show me honey how you drink from the river

THE CHASE
when you find a romance
you look for love within
you undo her clothes and strip her pride
just so you can see what's inside
she smiles at the love that lies there
i see the sunrise in her gentle eyes
where her play can't hide
she blushes as her fluids rushes past her disguise
chorus:
she's on the run
running towards the sun
she burns the ones who refused her love
she's got me held up
like a pistol to my brain
everybody knows she's a fighter
but you can't tame that kind
life gets desperate
when you see her
run away with your love

THE PERFECT BREAKUP
roses wrapped around barbed wire
eyes hazel fever burns like a wild fire
when love is due baby's for hire
hips to behold that bounce faster than any sunset
she'll give you a look you'll never forget
leaving her in California makes you wonder with regret
her love won't grow old that you can bet
but it's such a perfect breakup
she'll let you call her up so she can listen to your broken heart
she'll never let you down when the only way is up
i always thought she was cute & a bit of a smart ass
in some ways she still belongs to me
if you look deep inside my soul
our love went further than the garden hole do you see
lovers & friends live hand in hand
we danced as our ears heard the band
the music carried our hearts to a not forgotten land
where i kissed her lips with her beautiful feet in the sand
romance never dies it's a seed without end
again she's that kind of friend
she's more than most men can comprehend
it's such a perfect match
when i put my pole in the water she was the perfect catch
i dream of her now & then and see how important her time was
clothes or no clothes there was no time for because
we were married before they said it was legal
when you see the beach landscape you'll see a seagull
when you see me & her meet again you'll surely see an eagle

WOMAN CHILD
i found you
on a road with no direction
you wanted some affection
i was there to deliver
we both had some laughs
we found some common ground
but deep inside we wanted more
the desires may differ
but they both ran deep
deeper than a heavy sleep
the trials of life
have left you with tears of blood
in your summer eyes
woman the more i know you
the more i want to make you mine
explain to me
the emotional impact i feel for you
reach down & touch it
before it fades away
pretty woman child
give me your tangible smile
let me enter your sweet flesh
take me to a lost river
and drown with me
you're on the highway again
the road is getting you everywhere
but to the place i need you
woman i'm holding up the off ramp
that drives you to me
it's like you're still here
but my arms are still empty
