Just one more mornin'
I had to wake up with the blues
Pulled myself outta bed, yeah
Put on my walkin' shoes
Climb up on a hilltop, baby
To see what I could see, yeah
The whole world was fallin' down, baby
Right down in front of me
'Cause I'm hung up on dreams
I'm never gonna see, yeah
Lord help me, babe
Dreams get the best of me, yeah

I've been up cos I just can't sleep
All the fears getting the best of me
Every night, it's a fight, these doubts dancing in the dark
Feeling like every prayer I pray
Only makes it up about halfway
Every day, it's the same, just trying not to fall apart
Well it's tough here stuck in the middle
Trying to work out what it means
Pretending my heart don't break just a little
When it ain't quite what it seems
Chasing dreams, dreams, dreams
Chasing dreams, dreams, dreams
Chasing, chasing, I swear my heart's breaking
Chasing dreams, dreams, dreams
Ain't what it seems, seems, seems
I feel my heart breaking, but I won't stop chasing
Inspiration move me brightly / Light my heart with sense and color /
Hold away despair / More than this I will not ask / Faced with mysteries dark and vast.............

I get up in the evening
And I ain't got nothing to say
I come home in the morning
I go to bed feeling the same way
I ain't nothing but tired
Man, I'm just tired and bored with myself
Hey there baby, I could use just a little help

You can't start a fire
You can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Dodging lions and a-wasting time

Hey, comin' out around the world be ready for a brand new beat
Oh, summer's here and the time is right, oh, for dancing in the street
Dancing in Chicago (dancing in the street)
Down in New Orleans (dancing in the street)
In New York City (dancing in the street)

F Sinatra


Dancing in the dark 'til the tune ends
We're dancing in the dark and it soon ends
We're waltzing in the wonder of why we're here
Time hurries by, we're here and we're gone
Looking for the light of a new love
To brighten up the night, I have you love
And we can face the music together
Dancing in the dark
What - though love is old
What - though song is old
Through them we can be young
Hear this heart of mine
Wailin' all the time
Dear one, tell me that we're one
Looking for the light of a new love
To brighten up the night, I have you love
And we can face the music together
Dancing in the dark, dancing in the dark
Dancing in the dark
Inspiration move me brightly / Light my heart with sense and color /
Hold away despair / More than this I will not ask / Faced with mysteries dark and vast.............

His wind-whipped words echo the final take
And he hits the trunk road doing around a hundred and twenty
With no room left to brake
And he was too old to rock and roll
And he was too young to die
No he was too old to rock and roll
And he was too young to die

Y'know Death don't have no mercy in this land,
Death don't have no mercy in this land, in this land.
Come to your house,
you know he don't take long,
look in the bed this morning,
children find your mother's gone.
I said Death don't have no mercy in this land.
Death will leave you standing and crying in this land,
Death will leave you standing and crying in this land,
In this land Yeah!
Woh! Come to your house,
Y'know it don't stay long,
Y'look in the bed this morning,
children find that your brothers and sisters are gone.
I said Death don't have no mercy in this land.

Kids are different today, " I hear every mother say
Mother needs something today to calm her down
And though she's not really ill, there's a little yellow pill
She goes running for the shelter of her mother's little helper
And it helps her on her way, gets her through her busy day

One pill makes you larger
And one pill makes you small
And the ones that mother gives you
Don't do anything at all
Go ask Alice
When she's ten feet tall
And if you go chasing rabbits
And you know you're going to fall
Tell them a hookah-Smoking caterpillar
Has given you the call
Call Alice when she was just small
When the men on the chess board get up and tell you where to go
And you just had some kind of mushroom
And your mind is moving slow
Go ask Alice
I think she'll know
When logic and proportion
Have fallen sloppy dead
And the white knight is talking backwards
And the Red Queen's lost her head
Remember what the dormouse said
Feed your head
Inspiration move me brightly / Light my heart with sense and color /
Hold away despair / More than this I will not ask / Faced with mysteries dark and vast.............

Picture yourself in a boat on a river
With tangerine trees and marmalade skies
Somebody calls you, you answer quite slowly
A girl with kaleidoscope eyes
Cellophane flowers of yellow and green
Towering over your head
Look for the girl with the sun in her eyes
And she's gone

Look for a while at the china cat sunflower
Proud walking jingle in the midnight sun
Copperdome bodhi drip a silver kimono
Like a crazy quilt stargown through a dream night wind
Krazy Kat peeking through a lace bandanna
Like a one-eyed cheshire, like a diamond-eye jack
A leaf of all colors plays a golden-string fiddle
To a double-e waterfall over my back
Comic book colors on a violin river crying leonardo
Words from out a silk trombone
I rang a silent bell, beneath a shower of pearls
In the eagle-winged palace of the Queen Chinee
Inspiration move me brightly / Light my heart with sense and color /
Hold away despair / More than this I will not ask / Faced with mysteries dark and vast.............

Turn off your mind
Relax and float down stream
It is not dying
It is not dying
Lay down all thoughts
Surrender to the void
It is shining
It is shining
That you may see
The meaning of within
It is being
It is being

Strong beliefs
Like ideas come to life
Turn atoms into rain and stone
Sands and tall trees
Worlds passed by
Defyin' description
Stop and talk about it
Talk about it
And Maya, she dances
She dissolves into the light
Illusions of light
Oh Maya, she dances
Deep romance and poetry
Songs of ruin
Gurdjieff and Adi Da
She dances in the light
Dance in the light
Maya, she dances
Oh Maya, she dances
Inspiration move me brightly / Light my heart with sense and color /
Hold away despair / More than this I will not ask / Faced with mysteries dark and vast.............

Have you seen her
So fine and pretty
Fooled me with her style and ease
And I feel her from across the room
Yes, it's love in the third degree
Ooh, baby baby
Won't-cha turn your head my way
Ooh, baby baby
Ah come on! Take a chance you're old enough to
Dance the night away
(Dance)

Through a crack in Mother Earth,
Blazing hot, the molten rock
Spills out over the land.
And the lava's the lover who licks your boots away. Hey! Hey! Hey!
If you don't want to boil as well.
B-B-Better start the dance
D-D-Do you want to dance with me.
You better start doing it right.
The music's playing, the notes are right
Put your left foot first and move into the light.
The edge of this hill is the edge of the world
And if you're going to cross you better start doing it right
better start doing it right.
You better start doing it right.
Let the dance begin.
Inspiration move me brightly / Light my heart with sense and color /

Live a boy with a heart of steel
He can't move it now
But his sisters sure will
Feel good music
I've been told
Good for the body
And it's good for your soul
You can do it now
Hey hey hey
Hey pocky a-way

Doctor, my eyes have seen the years
And the slow parade of fears without crying
Now I want to understand
I have done all that I could
To see the evil and the good without hiding
You must help me if you can
Doctor, my eyes
Tell me what is wrong
Was I unwise to leave them open for so long?

Love, I don't like to see so much pain
So much wasted, and this moment keeps slipping away
I get so tired, working so hard for our survival
I look to the time with you to keep me awake and alive
And all my instincts, they return
And the grand façade, so soon will burn
Without a noise, without my pride
I reach out from the inside
In your eyes your eyes, your eyes
In your eyes
In your eyes, the light, the heat
In your eyes, I am complete
In your eyes, I see the doorway
To a thousand churches
In your eyes, the resolution
In your eyes, of all the fruitless searches
Oh, I see the light and the heat
In your eyes
Inspiration move me brightly / Light my heart with sense and color /
Hold away despair / More than this I will not ask / Faced with mysteries dark and vast.............

My parties have all the big names
And I greet them with the widest smile
Tell them how my life
Is one big adventure
And always there amazed
And I showed them round my house to my bed
I had it made like a mountain range
With snow white pillows for my big fat head
And our heaven will be a big heaven
And I will walk through the front door
Dodging lions and a-wasting time
In memory of ChiefScott
