LYRICS
The joy of youth quite contagious
That it overtakes us
Though young at heart quite courageous
Let it overtake us
So much more
Than bull and matador
Quest: even the score
Don’t confuse their innocence
With our arrogance
No, don’t confuse their innocence
With our ignorance

LYRICS
I ask myself in the heat of the day
Is it suppose to be this hot today
Should we be going this way

Still in the midst of the month of May
Is it suppose to be so hot all day
Should we be going this way

The skies haven’t seen a touch of grey
I can still hear my mother say
Should we be going this way?

LYRICS
The simplest shades of green
Compared to the extreme
Do you know what I mean
If there’s envy inside of me
How green? See what I mean
Whoever knew if I was new
Then, too, I’d be green
My level of green has grown obscene
In case you haven’t seen
The scene all splattered with green

LYRICS
Where’s the hot potato
Comin’round to you
(Whatcha gonna do?)
Did you even know
(So… whatcha gonna do?
Comin’round to you)
Better think quick
And pass on it
(Why not? It’s hot!)

Where’s the hot potato
Comin’round to me
(In front of me? See.)
Do I even know?
(In from of me, see
What’s it gonna be?)
Better think quick
And pass on it

LYRICS
Yippie yi yo
It’s not my first rodeo
Ohh, I know
The perils of status quo
Stuck in a rut
Punch in the gut
Woe whoa whoa

Yippie yi yo
It’s not my first rodeo
Ohh, I know
When it’s time to go
Stuck in a rut
Punch in the gut
Woe whoa whoa

Yippie yi yo
It’s not my first rodeo
Ohh, I know
Friend the foe’s foe
Stuck in a rut
Punch in the gut
Woe whoa whoa

Yippie yi yo
It’s not my first rodeo
Ohh, I know
We’re a Shakespearean show
Stuck in a rut
Punch in the gut
Woe whoa whoa

LYRICS
World class rookie
Am I outta control?
Is this any way
To play rock n’ roll?
Cutter of cookie
Was never for me
Black sheep astray
To play night n’ day
Just give me a chance
You’ll get up n’ dance

No la, la, la?
Sounds kinda droll
Is this any way
To play rock n’ roll?
No formula
No that’s not for me
Black n’ white’s gray
Let’s play all day
Just give me a chance
You’ll get up n’ dance

LYRICS
Getting fooled by fool’s gold
Fool’s gold is getting old
Getting fooled by fool’s gold
Our hearts are growing…
Hearts are growing cold
Taking our parts
Of warming hearts
I’m sold

Starting to dawn
That the victim of con
Perpetrating the con is wrong
Starting to dawn
That the days of song
Could be gone
Taking our parts
Warming of hearts
Is on

LYRICS
You said, “No, don’t”
You said, “I won’t”
But then you did
You said, “No don’t”
You said, “I won’t”
The truth you hid
(The hypocritical kid)

And then you still
Say, “That I will”
But then you don’t
You know you could
You know you should
We know you won’t
(Can’t recant can’t)

LYRICS
The verdict is in
… and… you didn’t win
Know the jig is up
Time to move on from “has been”
Order in the court
Ruled on the tort
Let there be bliss
Case dismissed

No hurry for a jury
’cause your vision is blurry
Judge has been the judge
Found you had to budge
Order in the court
Ruled on the tort
Let there be bliss
Case dismissed

All feel your appeal
Is unappealing
Should have been real, signed and sealed
That’s the deal
Order in the court
Ruled on the tort
Let there be bliss
Case dismissed

LYRICS
I look into your eyes
TO see if you are there
All that I get
Is a blank stare
Are you there?

To begin again
I ask your motionless chin
Please! I’m beggin’
Are you there?
Life ain’t fair?

Time to wave our bye-byes
If I can’t get your eyes
To rise
Are you there?

LYRICS
Looking for another way to say
“I love you. Yes, I do.”
Doesn’t seem right to be so trite
And say, “I love you. Love me, too?”
Maybe if you look deep in my eyes
You might come to realize
Our love within
Ought to come out
Start and begin
To spread about

Yet, another day looking for a way
To say, “I love you. Yes, I do.”
Need an antidote from being rote
With “I love you. Love me, too?”
Maybe if I look deep in your eyes
We might come to realize
Our love within
Ought to come out
Start and begin
To spread about

LYRICS
We’re in moving pictures
Moved on from still life
No longer mere fixtures
We’re rife with living color
Sure! You be your hue
I’ll have a hing of tint
Together we’ll form a prism
Breaking free from our personal prison

Sure! You be your hue
It’ll be the you-hue
I’ll have a hing of tint
I’m the sublime kind
Together we’ll form a prism
Breaking free from our personal prison
