Fantasy Satisfier

We took off today on an unknown destination
We only met last night yet I feel overcome
As day light came I felt no hesitation
Somehow I felt with you something
Strange had begun

Fantasy satisfier, fantasy satisfier
Will you take me much higher
Will you take me away

We rode down the highway heading for the sun
As we got to know each other I knew it was right
Deep inside I knew I needed someone
Who could give direction to my empty life

Fantasy satisfier, fantasy satisfier
Will you take me much higher
Will you take me away

The journey's gettin' on and I'm feelin' fine
The miles are flyin' by yet I feel close to you
You tellin' me stories that make my mind wander
It's all so strange
You came out of the blue

Fantasy satisfier, fantasy satisfier
Will you take me much higher
Will you take me away
To another fantasy, fantasy satisfier
Will you take me much higher
Will you take me away
Will you take me much higher
Will you take me away
Fantasy satisfier, fantasy satisfier
Fantasy satisfier, fantasy satisfier
Will you take me much higher, take me away

Two Time Love

Give me money give me love
Take these heartaches I got plenty of
Take my hand lead me away
Take the sunshine from life
Don't ever let me see a day like today

Yeah, I'm busted and I'm blown away
Give me anything but your two time love
I'm crying almost dying
give me anything but your two time love

You gave no reason you gave no sign
I found you sleeping with a friend of mine

Yeah, I'm busted and I'm blown away
Give me anything but your two time love
I'm crying almost dying
give me anything but your two time love

I'm so downhearted it's a crying shame
I got to leave here I can't stand the rain

Yeah, I'm busted and I'm blown away
Give me anything but your two time love
I'm crying almost dying
give me anything but your two time love

Kyle

Kyle can you tell me
Where did we go wrong
It's been so long
It's been so long

Why did you leave me
We were such good friends
What can I say
What can I say

Kyle can you help me
Take my hand don't leave me on my own
Kyle it ain't easy I can't bare to live
Without you near me

Help me kyle
Help me kyle
Won't you stay with me
And let me see you smile

Words always fail me
How can I explain
The way I feel the way I feel

Kyle it ain't easy
I can't bare to live without you near me

Help me kyle
Help me kyle
Won't you stay with me
And let me see you smile

Kyle won't you hear me
I got so much more I have to say now

Help me kyle
Help me kyle
Won't you stay with me
And let me see you smile
Ooh, yeah, ooh, kyle

Woman And Gold

Woman and gold have taken a hold of your life
Power and fame have left you low and lame
drowned in strife

You think you've got it right
You're stumbling round in the night
But low and behold
You'll die for woman and gold

Fortune still smiles while you're piling up the gains your friends have lost
The lover you seek is out of reach though you'd buy her at any cost
You won't take my advice
You're tossin' your fate like dice
But low and behold
You'll die for woman and gold

Woman and gold can be bought and sold by a fool
But your soul needs savin' playin' with fire and fate can be mighty cruel
Reach out before it's too late
Remember that time won't wait
Low and behold
You'll die for woman and gold

Higher Circles

My way of life was barren and bare
I knew many people but nobody cared
I played the rules of society's game
But my mind grew troubled cause
my spirit was lame

Without a warning I had a change of heart
I kept to myself I didn't play the part
My friends stopped callin' they just let me be
I knew I was fallin' but nothin' could stop me

I'm movin' up to a higher circle
I'm movin' up 'cause I've fallen down
Down from the circle of nameless faces
I'm movin' up to a higher circle

I feel much better since I drifted away
From the fair weather friends who had nothin' to say
I'm all on my own writing down the lines
That grow from the peace and inner love that shines

I'm movin' up to a higher circle
I'm movin' up 'cause I've fallen down
Down from the circle of nameless faces
I'm movin' up to a higher circle

Yes I feel
I'm movin' up to a higher circle
I'm movin' up 'cause I've fallen down
Down from the circle of nameless faces
I'm movin' up to a higher circle

Yes, I'm movin' up to a higher circle
I'm movin' up 'cause I've fallen down
Down from the circle of nameless faces
I'm movin' up to a higher circle

Hell Or High Water


I got to feel the need and it started me back
It didn't take too long to see
That I'd been blazing trails gettin' lost
I've been through listening to losers just fixing to die
And the thought of you getting lonely is making me cry

I've chased rainbows in the dark
I've been beat before I could start
I've been turned down
I've been pushed round
But hell or high water couldn't keep you from me
Hell or high water can't keep you from me
It never could be
Can't you see

I had the fear staying here I was wasting my time
Only now I see I was wrong leaving you solved nothing at all
I always knew deep inside I'd come back for your love
And when things got bad it was always you that I'd be thinking of

I've chased rainbows in the dark
I've been beat before I could start
I've been turned down
I've been pushed round
But hell or high water couldn't keep you from me
Hell or high water can't keep you from me
It never could be
Can't you see

I've chased rainbows in the dark
I've been beat before I could start
I've been turned down
I've been pushed round
But hell or high water couldn't keep you from me
Hell or high water can't keep you from me

I've chased rainbows in the dark
I've been beat before I could start
I've been turned down
I've been pushed round
But hell or high water couldn't keep you from me
Hell or high water can't keep you from me
It never could be
Can't you see

I'm Alive

I woke up today not to sure of my feeling
Lying on my back just staring at the ceiling
The dream I had filled me with fear
I dreamed I was dead and far away from here
But I'm alive I'm alive, I'm alive thank the Lord I am

Go out of bed took a walk outside
Everything around me seemed to say it's alright
The bad dream last night had faded away
I'm glad it wasn't real I'm so happy to say
I'm alive I'm alive I'm alive thank the Lord I am

Living for some people isn't easy
Chasing money all the time
Slaving all the day just to get a little pay
Ain't the way to get what you want
Peace of mind is hard to find

I'm alive I'm alive I'm alive thank the Lord I am

I'm happy being here and just to look around
There's so much to be done and much more to be found
Though I don't have much I know I'll get by
Cause hope and love are all I need in this world to survive
I'm alive I'm alive, I'm alive thank the Lord I am thank the Lord I am
I'm so glad I'm so glad I'm so glad it's not my turn

The Mirror


I looked into the mirror and it poisoned my mind twice
It left me both time crippled
And it tossed my fate like dice

I looked into the mirror and the devil smiled both times
My flesh was sold with no feelings
With no reason or rhyme

The smile on my face gave way to my feeling
But only time was there to tell
Somewhere in space my thoughts are still reeling
The miror looked through hell
And damned me where I fell

You mistreated the boxer
You held his spirit down
(Yes she did, yes she did, yes she did, yes she did)
You colored his reflection
'Cause you didn't like his sound

But now my head is clearing
And I'm startin' to see the light
(see the light, see the light, see the light, see the light)
Now I'm lookin' to the mirror
And I don't know if it's day or night

The smile on my face gave way to my feeling
But only time was there to tell
Somewhere in space my thoughts are still reeling
The miror looked through hell
And damned me where I fell

see the light, see the light, see the light, see the light...

The Hoofer


What's coming down
Don't look good to me
It's definable as critical
In webster's dictionary
But let's just say I got a feeling
That when this stuff hits the ceiling
At no time will my feet leave my ankles
At no time will my feet leave my ankles

I don't need really all that much
Big limousines and movie queens don't get me going as such
But when I can't vote for a president
And be total sure that he ain't bent
At no time will my feet leave my ankles

So I break off yeah I just take off
Anything that's bothering me
Sing you a love song hope it ain't long
Before the roses bloom in the afternoon
We gonna see them soon

If you don't let 'em get you down
Don't let 'em get you down
Don't let the long faced ugly mother wearing a frown get you down
Don't let 'em get you down
Don't let 'em get you down
Don't let the long faced ugly mother wearing a frown get you down

So I break off yeah I just take off
Anything that's bothering me
Sing you a love song hope it ain't long
Before the roses bloom in the afternoon
We gonna see them soon

If you don't let 'em get you down
Don't let 'em get you down
Don't let the long faced ugly mother wearing a frown get you down
Don't let 'em get you down
Don't let 'em get you down
Don't let the long faced ugly mother wearing a frown get you down

Don't let 'em get you down
Don't let 'em get you down
Don't let the long faced ugly mother wearing a frown get you down

Don't let 'em get you down
Don't let 'em get you down
Don't let the long faced ugly mother wearing a frown get you down

Don't let 'em get you down
Don't let 'em get you down
Don't let the long faced ugly mother wearing a frown get you down

Don't let 'em get you down
Don't let 'em get you down
Don't let the long faced ugly mother wearing a frown get you down
