RUN RIVER RUN
Run river run,
We're alone at last,
Flying the sun,
The day floats past,
Into the night,
With the wind so shy,
Over the world,
It's a brand-new sky.
Chorus
I don't know why you love me,
But I know that I'm the one,
There couldn't be another,
To watch that river run.
Run river run,
We lay down in the fields,
Eyes to the sun,
You must know how it feels,
Make it a day,
With the grass so high,
Laughing away,
It's a brand new sky.
(Chorus)
Run river run,
As the night time falls,
Bye to the sun,
The last light calls,
Walking the stars,
Taking wings to fly,
Over the world,
It's a brand-new sky.
(Chorus)

MEMORY CALLING
Memory calling,
Drawing me near,
Rain is a'falling,
It's all I can hear.
In another time and place,
There was a lady,
Should I unlock the door,
And live for maybe.
Chorus
Memory calling,
Should I live for maybe,
Memory calling,
Should I live for maybe.
Feel like a schoolboy,
Weak in the knees,
Tongue-tied and giddy,
Feelin' at ease,
With the girl who cradled love,
Just like a baby,
Should I unlock the door,
And live for maybe.
(Chorus)
Fearin' to bungle,
Searchin' the lines,
It feels like a jungle,
I'm dodging designs,
In another world away,
There was a lady,
To leave the unlocked door,
And live for maybe.
(Chorus)

STOP!
Got a little problem,
It's a full-blown crisis,
Someone put my heart into overload.
Got a little patience,
Quickly leaving,
Left me bleeding on the open road.
Chorus
You got to stop, look out,
Can't watch the rear-view mirror of a
lifetime.
Stop, look out,
Got a little farther to go,
You think the girl would know.
Had a big feeling,
For a certain lady,
A certain lady had a feel for me,
Had a big dream,
That turned to ashes,
The little lady put the hurt to me.
(Chorus)
Bridge
You give me a line,
If you've got the time,
I want you to know,
I won't let you go.
Found a little hope,
In a shining hour,
Talk and drinks put the world away,
Found a little woman,
With a big-sized feeling,
Think we're gonna work it out okay.
(Chorus)

MONTH OF MONDAYS
You don't fight fair,
You just don't care,
Hurtin' total strangers,
With passin' snide remarks.
I can't decide,
Just what you hide,
With that unimpressed demeanor,
You take off in the dark,
I won't be there.
Chorus
Looks deceived,
I believed,
All you said,
Made me dread,
Your love.
You don't belong,
And won't be strong,
It takes a month of Mondays,
To thicken up the skin.
You scratch and bite,
Imagined fights,
It doesn't take a genius,
To see the fix you're in,
I won't be there.
(Chorus)
You call my name,
It's not the same,
It's the scratch of fingernails,
On the blackboard of my heart.
You want the chase,
That's not the case,
I won't be in your hope chest,
In a line of broken hearts,
I won't be there.

JOANIE'S GETTIN' DARK
Joan's so dark,
An eclipse of the sun,
The damage is done,
It's a waste of time.
The last train's leavin',
She's takin' a ride,
Nowhere to hide,
She just won't be mine.
Chorus
The sky turns grey,
There's rain in the park,
Now the sun won't stay,
And Joanie's gettin' dark.
Joan's so dark,
There's a storm on the rise,
A flash in your eyes,
And I'm left behind.
The clouds roll in,
Now they're here to stay,
No other way,
She just won't be mine.
(Chorus)
Joan's so dark,
There's night over town,
The sun goes down,
She just won't be kind.
The last light fading
From her headlight shine,
It's a waste of time,
She just won't be mine.
(Chorus)

BIG TECHS
Life on this silicon prairie,
Where is the heart,
In error corrected dreams.
Hot on the trail of a fusion,
We're splitting apart,
Coming apart at the seams.
Chorus
We are Big Techs,
Never acting on a reflex,
Working out the defects,
We forgot to love.
Love on this high-tech horizon,
Where is the soul,
In disconnected hearts.
Seeking redundant protection,
On opposite poles,
The game never gets a start.
(Chorus)
Boot in a disk of the memory,
When can we start,
I'm starting to feel alive.
Boot out the previous errors,
And give me a chart,
This program won't take a dive.
(Chorus)

WISH I KNEW
Cruisin', drivin' in my Chevy,
Baby's gettin' heavy,
Things are on her mind.
Worried, countin' out the reasons,
Can't we leave the reasons,
Somewhere far behind.
Chorus
I don't know the reason why she cried,
Wish I knew,
She says nothin', shakes her head and sighs,
I wish, I wish, I wish I knew.
Go on, sour up the romance,
Can't you see the one chance,
Slippin' through your hands.
Had me, goin' through the motions,
Losin' my devotion,
More than I can stand.
(Chorus)
Lonely, can't we get together,
Feelin' like forever,
She don't say a thing,
Can't we end it at the front door,
Tell me what you're mad for,
It don't mean a thing.
(Chorus)

IT MOVES THE BODY
You move worlds with your body,
You stop time when you dance,
I can see what you're doin',
Give this boy a chance,
And if it moves the body,
It moves the body.
You take life from the music,
You give back all you can,
I can see what you're doin',
Make this boy a man,
And if it moves the body,
It moves the body.
(Repeat 1st verse)

MISS DANGER
I feel fine, sharp,
Love what you do in the dark,
Don't hold back, no stranger,
I call you my own Miss Danger.
Chorus
It's a fact, no lie,
We're livin' a life on the edge,
No doubt, react,
Stand there on foot off the ledge.
Miss Danger, no stranger.
I feel good, loose,
Under your loving abuse,
You're a slick arranger,
Alone with my own Miss Danger.
(Chorus)
I feel great, strive,
Make me feel more than alive,
So fun, no stranger,
I call you my own Miss Danger.
(Chorus)

EYE TO EYE TO EYE
She told you once,
She told you twice,
Then said goodbye,
You really can't believe she's gone,
You don't know why.
Giving you the reasons,
For leaving you behind,
You thought it in her mind.
Chorus
You don't know just why she said goodbye,
She can't see things eye to eye to eye.
She gave you every single chance,
To walk that line,
You didn't listen to her much,
She knows your kind.
Didn't hear the warnings,
Didn't see the signs,
Now she's mine.
(Chorus)
She saved it up for later on,
Then crossed that line,
You lay awake beside the phone,
She gave no sign.
Didn't know the feeling,
Now it's all around,
Waiting for the sound.
(Chorus)

OFF THE CLOCK
The hands hit five and I'm history,
My number's up, it's a mystery,
Start my car, crank the stereo,
Highway rodeo.
Chorus
Through the door, hit the lock,
Out the way, I'm off the clock.
The job's all done, my time's my own,
No overtime, unplug the phone,
Twist and shout, let the good times roll,
Good for the soul.
(Chorus)
The workday ends, I've made some time,
Trust my luck, take a turn in line,
Hit the streets, gonna find my fun,
The work's all done.
(Chorus)
