Lyrics

KEEP IT ROLLING-
 

Spin me round and round

Im still off the ground

Prop me up again

Its still profound

 

Fire rage within

Run and write it down

Spread the word around

Its still profound

 

I'm still smiling (Its a sign of weakness)

Were still caring (Its just human nature)
I'm still feeling (Thats a sign of weakness)

Should be loving (Its a sign of weakness)

 

Keep it rolling, dont let them know when it starts its slowing, cuz I wont let go now

 

Lifes just one building, Set

One upon each other step

Walk it up one by one

And then well just

Turn around and help a soul

To find its way out of the cold

Well laugh aloud, sing out of key

Dont be scared

Come sing with me

 
 
WAIT IN LINE-

Skipped on the shaker
wasn't happenin at all
Some say I talk to much
Some say talk is small

Tell me..
Wait in line..

Red was my obsession
Till I saw it on you
I thought I maybe had a chance
Till you said it couldn't groove 

 

Now Im crusing the street

Pitch black night downtown

Another chapter in the book

Turned the page and put it down

 

SOUL SOMETHING-
 
If i knew where we were heading
If i knew it was better, but without you
If i knew that this train was heading in the wrong direction
Would I stop it? And let the sparks fly...
Sparks fly from our love
 
Don't let it rain
On what we've got
Don't let it wash away
All that we've built up
 
If i knew that all I had was the sunset
I'd cry all the night
And if i knew that the ocean was what we had
If i knew that i'd drown
Then let me drown
Baby, let me drown in your love
 
Don't let it rain
On what we've got
Don't let it wash away
All that we've built up
 

Say To Me-

 

I'm wandering around I've got time on my hands, I don't know where I'm heading

She says come on sit down put your feet up a while, take your coat off

What you need is a little happiness. I'll fix it up

What you need is some emotion. I'll fix it up

 

Please, Say to me

That youll let me be

 

I'm looking up, and I dont know whats down, but I keep on falling

Let the cat out the bag, watch the cat in the hat, red white and blue disguise

 

I'm falling in love with a sweet southern girl and that twinkle in her eye

You should see how she moves like a whip in her hand

Shell make a grown man cry...

 
 
HOLD ON-

Turn until it's all a painting
Hold On
Too many it starts to get complicating
Hold On
Ain't no point in procrastingatin'
Hold On
Ain't no point don't keep me waiting
Hold On

I wan't it all
Made to feel all for real baby
Start it up,
And take me away

Why so slow?
Hold On
Why so slow?
Hold On

Pull into the space drive diner
Hold On
A mixed pot of thoughts about her
Hold On
Ain't no point, she'll make it higher
Hold On
Ain't no point, she'll light my fire
Hold On

ALRIGHT-

Alright, Alright

Watch it when I step into

Alright, Alright

Watch it when I bang into

Alright, Alright

Watch it when I slide into

Alright, Alright

Watch it when I pull into

 

Alright, Alright

Watch it when I step into

 

Hey Satan, take off your platform shoes

I've learned my lesson, theres more than just singing the blues

Burnt hippie, burnt hippie, have you heard the news

Shave the beard man, we've got some work to do

 

Climb that mountain youve been looking for

Be the lion, let your protest roar

Dig 'em in, shred the road some more

Take em out, Surprise! Weve got hella goods in store

 

Hey, we gotta Take it out the core

Spread the paint can across the floor

Another body, another bag, another sin

All I really wanna know is, are you out or are you in?

 

So how you feeling tonight?

 
 
DR. SMOOTH-

There's something in communication
There's something about the way you walk
There's something about my respiration
Every time I hear you talk

Hey baby take my hand we'll see the birds start into flight
Hey baby take my hand we'll see the stars come out at night
Hey baby take my hand we'll walk under the city lights
Hey baby take my hand i'll make it right, we'll do it all the night

I'm all about your ammunition
I'm all about your glossy lips
I's all about my whole condition
I's all about your sexy hips
 
I've got a P.H.D. for lovin
A set of wheels to make you hot
You're gonna need some time recoverin'
I'm gonna give you all I got 




ALONE ON THE INSIDE -

 

Walk a while with this old man

Hes known these streets for an eternity

In a tattered old trench-coat

And a conscience full of past memories

 

I'm alone on the inside

I'm alone

 

Snow falls gently

Watch the time slip through his wrinkled hands

Cold, cold on that bench today

And he'll spin a tale, just one grain in the sand

 

Back a couple of years, to a house by the sea

Two around a table, laughing, and drinking wine

Theres a warm glow in each and every single thought

And a candle's dancing shadows on the wall
 
DIESEL -

 

Johnny just a brand new car

Race red from daddy last week

He cant even count all the chicks that have been in back

High roller with a pint of fire

Good grades and a pack of liars

He likes pickin on punk kids

 

Here I am

All I got

Take it all

I dont want none of this no more

 

I gotta get out of here.

 

Watch Billy in basement room

He's in all black, with a stack of comic books

He likes keeping to himself

Big Dreamer with a lanky body

He got courage, hes gonna  prove it all

Why dont we check out the party tonite?

 

Johnnys looking or a little fight

Some punk kids gonna pay the price

Just cuz he dont like the way he talks

Another shot, another glass, another drink, he's gonna get it bad

Man, were gonna watch him bleed.
