Dance With The Devil

(Somewhere On The Road)

You can roll your smoke and snort your coke and you can shoot your smack and smoke your crack and you can get so high that you think you can fly and your going to live for ever and your never going to die.

But if you dance with the devil there’s going to be hell to pay.

You can drink and drive like a bat out of hell on French champagne or muscatel and say your OK and your not that high and that accidents happen to the other guy.

You can get your kicks from lots of chicks or get your highs from lots of guys and you can have more sex than anyone else and think your so slick that you’ll never get sick.

You can bet your cash on a horse that fast or risk the rent on a sports event and think your so lucky and you can beat the odds or that your something special like a demy-God.

 

Mirror Of Me
(1998 Ubud, Bali, Indonesia)
 

All the good and bad qualities, that you love or hate about me, there the same ones that you possess and what you love and hate about yourself. Call me crazy but I know it’s true, you’re a mirror of me and I’m a mirror of you.

You can’t love in somebody else, what you don’t love within’ you self and what you hate about yourself, your going to hate in everyone else. You might already know and this ain’t news, you’re a mirror of me and I’m a mirror of you.

When you see in somebody else, the qualities that you possess, the character that they project, that’s a mirror image you reflect. It’s elementary when you see the clues, you’re a mirror of me and I’m a mirror of you.

Always look before you leap and you’ll avoid the fire’s heat and if rush to judge somebody else, you might be passing judgment on your self. There’s no exceptions and it’s always the rule, you’re a mirror of me and I’m a mirror of you.

My Cuban Queen

(August 1998 Ubud, Bali)

Free as a bird, wild like the wind, leads with her heart, she might let you in. She’ll drive you crazy, make your head hazy, wear out your body and leave you crazy. She’ll do anything that you’ve ever dreamed; she’ll take you places that you’ve never been, my Cuban queen.

Smart as a whip, sharp as a tack, her intuition is right on track. No use denying, she knows when you’re lying, you can’t deceive her or mislead her.
 

She knows every place that you’ve ever been; she knows every body that you’ve ever seen, my Cuban queen.

Cold hands, warm heart, gives of herself right from the start. No prima Donna that you take home to momma, she can be whatever, woman you wanna’. She don’t care for material things, she don’t care if you’re a pauper or a king, she’s my Cuban queen.

Long wavy hair, her skin’s so fair, my favorite feature is her derriere. She’s got a smile that’s as bright as the sun and when she laughs she, comes undone. Got killer legs that are long and lean, she’s got curves like you’ve never seen, my Cuban queen.

She’s always fair, she loves to share, she believes in the power of prayer. She’s got a heart that’s as big as a whale, compassionate like Florence Nightingale, she’s never phony and she’s never mean, she’s just as kind and as sweet as she seems, my Cuban queen.

Lonesome Sea

(Ubud, Bali, Indonesia)

I just got your letter, telling me the news, that you’ve found yourself a new love and your leaving me the blues.

You said we were soul mates and together we would be, now you’ve set my soul adrift, out upon the lonesome sea.

You said you’d come back and be with me, for the rest of eternity. Now my dreams are shattered, scattered just like leaves, with no one to blame for my troubles but me.

Well you don’t know what you’ve got, till what you’ve got is gone, I should have made you my wife, but I waited much too long.

And if you ever come back, you know right where I’ll be, I’m right here where you left me, out upon the lonesome sea.

Forgiveness

(Miami, Florida, U.S.A.)

I used to be angry and always mad, feeling blue and I was always sad, than I learned a lesson tried and true, when you forgive the one who gains is you.

Forgiveness, it’s ah what you need, it’s the key, to set you free.

If you hold a grudge inside of you, against the ones who have done harm to you and you won’t forgive till they apologize, that won’t release the pain you hold inside.

Took some time for me to really find, now I know I’ve found real peace of mind, didn’t know within’ is where I’d find, the kind that’s real and lasts for a lifetime.

She’s The One

(Ubud, Bali, Indonesia)

Came upon a summers day, changed my life in every way, I pray to God that she’s here to stay, she’s the one and I just got to say, she’s the one, who’s got my blues on the run.

She’s the one and I admit, she’s the one I can’t resist, she’s the one I’ll never quit, she’s the one I love to kiss, she’s the one, who’s got my blues on the run.

Winter comes and our love goes into overdrive and I let her know, I’m not about to ever let her go, she’s the one and I want her to know, she’s the one, who’s got my blues on the run.

She’s the one who makes me laugh, she’s the one who makes me cry, she’s the one who makes me high, she’s the one who makes me sigh, she’s the one, who’s got my blues on the run.

Springtime comes and we both fall, deeper in love like never before, she makes me feel like I’m ten feet tall, she’s the one and who I truly adore, she’s the one, who’s got my blues on the run.

She’s the one who makes me glad, she’s the one who makes me sad, she’s the one who makes me mad, she the one who made me a dad, she’s the one, who’s got my blues on the run.

Dance To The Beat Of A Different Drum

(Aboard The White Whale)

My thought’s come and go, just like falling leaves, am I so alone that I think I need, a place called home, with kids and a wife, doing just what my momma, told me was right.

But I dance to the beat, of a different drum, I live my own life and I live it on my own. X2

Yeah I live my own life and I live it on my own, ‘gonna chase down my dreams, or I’ll just follow the sun. I’m going to be foot loose, I’m going to be fancy free and I’m just ‘gonna do whatever comes naturally.

Yeah, baby I’ve been up and baby I’ve been down, I’ve seen my whole world, get turned up-side down, my ideals have changed and some have faded with age but since I married you babe I’ve finally come of age.
