Take a Look Around
you will never see me walking around feeling low
you will never hear there goes a man who doesn't know
too many roads to walk
too many things to do
too many words to talk
moments too few
i don't think you know though you've been told a million times
its not clear to see unless you read in between the lines
look out your window
when did it start ?
nothing's for certain
it's just a part
if you're feeling low, no and your world comes tumbling down
if you see how time stops, better take a look around
good things must end
they never last
look to tomorrow
forget the past
Funk #49
sleep all day, out all night - i know where you're goin
i don't think that's actin right - you don't think it's showin
jumpin up, fallin down - don't misunderstand me
you don't think that I know your plan - what you tryin-a hand me ?
out all night, sleep all day - i know what you're doin
if you're gonna act that way - i think there's trouble brewin

Walk Away
takin my time, choosin my lines - tryin to decide what to do
looks like my stop don't wanna get off - got myself hung up on you
seems to me - you don't wanna talk about it
seems to me - you just turn your pretty head and walk away
places i've known, things that i'm growin - don't taste the same without you
i got my self in the worst mess i've been - and i find myself starvin without you
seems to me - talk all night here comes the mornin
seems to me - you just forget what we said and greet the day
i've got to cool myself down, stompin around - thinkin some words i can't name ya
meet you half way, got nothing to say - still i don't spose i can blame ya
seems to me - you don't wanna talk about it
seems to me - you just turn your pretty head and walk away
Turn to Stone
hey, now - the well run dry - pages of your book on fire - read the writing on the wall
hoe down - it's a show-down - everywhere you look, we're fighting - hear the call
and you know it's gettin stronger
can't last very much longer - turn to stone
well there's a change in the wind - you know the signs don't lie
such a strange feelin - and i don't know why it's takin such a long time
backyard people, and they work all day - tired of the speeches
and the way that the reasons keep changin - just to make the words rhyme
Turn to Stone

Rocky Mountain Way
spent the last year, rocky mountain way - couldn't get much higher
out to pasture, think it's safe to say - time to open fire
and we don't need the ladies cryin cuz the story's sad
cuz the rocky mountain way is better than the way we had
well he's tellin us this and he's tellin us that - changes it every day - says it doesn't matter
bases are loaded and casey's at bat, playin it play by play - time to change the batter
Meadows
can't think of any reason - don't know exactly why
must be it's out of season - give it another try
i'm out here in the meadow - part of an old stone wall
stand here because he said so - waitin around to fall
some things are left unspoken - some things are handed down
the circle stands unbroken - sendin it back around
i've seen you roll in clover - dressed for a scarecrow wall
too bad the dance is over - nothin to show at all
can't help but feel uncertain - knowing which way to turn
they want to raise the curtain - and you're hopin the words to learn
Life's Been Good
i have a mansion - forget the price - ain't never been there, they tell me it's nice
i live in hotels tear out the walls - i have accountants pay for it all
they say i'm crazy but i have a good time
i'm just looking for clues at the scene of the crime
life's been good to me so far
my maserati does 185 - i lost my license, now i don't drive
i have a limo, ride in the back - i lock the doors, in case i'm attacked
i'm making records - my fans, they can't wait - they write me letters, tell me i'm great
so i got me an office, gold records on the wall - just leave a message, maybe i'll call
lucky i'm sane after all i've been through
everybody says i'm cool (he's cool)
i can't complain but sometimes i still do
life's been good to me so far
i go to parties, sometimes until four - it's hard to leave when you can't find the door
it's tough to handle, this fortune and fame - everybody's so different, i haven't changed
they say i'm lazy, but it takes all my time
everybody says, oh yeah (oh yeah)
i keep on goin, guess i'll never know why
life's been good to me so far
All Night Long
get up early and we work all day
we put our times cause we like to stay up
all night long...
keep on grinnin till the weekend come
justa pinch between your cheek and gum
all night long...
we start in the morning and we get the job done
take care of bussines and have some fun
all night long...
we like a long neck and a good old song
turn it up and then we sing along
all night long...
oh - stay up all night long
A Life of Illusion
sometimes i can't help the feeling that i'm living a life of illusion
and oh, why can't we let it be and see thru the hole in this wall of confusion
i just can't help the feeling i'm living a life of illusion
pow, right between the eyes - oh, how nature loves her little surprises
wow, it all seems so logical now - it's just one of her better disguises
and it comes with no warning, nature loves her little surprises - continual crisis
hey, don't you know it's a waste of your day - caught up in endless solutions
that have no meaning, just another hunch - based upon jumping conclusions
caught up in endless solutions - backed up against a wall of confusion
living a life of illusion
The Confessor
if you look at your reflection in the bottom of a well, what you see is only on the surface
when you try to see the meaning, hidden underneath, the measure of the depth can be deceiving
the bottom has a rockin reputation
you can feel it in the distance the deeper down you stare
from up above it's hard to see, but ya know when you're there
on the bottom words are shallow - the surface talk is cheap
you can only judge the distance by the company you keep
in the eyes of the confessor.
in the eyes of the confessor, there's no place you can hide
you can't hide from the eyes (of the confessor)
don't you even try - in the eyes of the confessor
you can't tell a lie - you cannot tell a lie (to the confessor)
strip you down to size - naked as the day that you were born...
take all the trauma, drama, comments - the guilt and doubt and shame
the what if's and if only's - the shackles and the chains
the violence and aggresion, the pettiness and scorn
the jealousy and hatred, the tempest and discord
and give it up
Ordinary Average Guy
i'm just an ordinary average guy
my friends are all boring, and so am i
we're just ordinary average guys
we all live ordinary average lives
with average kids and average wives
we all go bowling at the bowling lanes
drink a few beers, bowl a few frames
we're just ordinary average guys...
and every saturday we work in the yard
pick up the dog do - hope that it's hard (whaf whaf)
take out the garbage and clean out the garage
my friend's got a chrysler, i've got a dodge
we're just ordinary average guys...
