“A Speck of Dust”

 
My stomach and my heart
Painful and useless
The moment you 
Enter the room
I hate to discard them 
As they fall to the floor
Swept up as in 
The path of a broom

I'm just a speck of dust 
Floating away
Being brought back to earth 
On a rainy day
In the sunlight I shine 
Just like a star
As the westerly winds 
Take me to where you are

Da da dum da da da 
Dum da da da 

No matter how hard I try
To stay in control
Knowing that 
You soon might appear
I can't help myself 
As my brain flies away
Only you 
Can catch it I fear

I'm just a speck of dust 
Floating away
Being brought back to earth 
On a rainy day
In the sunlight I shine 
Just like a star
As the westerly winds 
Take me to where you are


Da da dum da da da 
Dum da da da 

Da da dum da da da 
Dum da da da

Da da dum da da dum

It's a new, it's a new
Frontier for me
I'm truncated, you're expanded 

I'm overstated, you're even handed
I'm impatient, you're understanding 

I'm a penny and you're ten granded

Uncharted, 
Uncharted territory
I'm quartz, you're a diamond

I'm prose and you're rhyming
I missed the cut, you got timing

I'm on the ground and you’re climbing

I'm just a... speck of dust 
Floating away
Being brought back to earth 
On a rainy day
You're in charge of the weather
Whether you like it or not

And you get to say whether
It's cold or it's hot

Da da dum da da da 
Dum da da da 
Da da dum da da da 
Dum da da da
Da da dum da da dum

Dum da da da


“So Far From Oregon”


 Here I am on a rainy night 
In New York City
 It's cold outside
And it's cold in here too
 Ran to and from 
The restaurant
 Thinking about 
All the things I want
 And how the hell am 
I gonna get back to you
 I’m so far, so far, 
So far from Oregon

 I'm trying to remember 
All the words
 I wrote down for you 
In my last e-mail 
 Yeah, I don’t think 
I’ve even sent it yet
 I know where it is that I belong 
Back with you in Oregon
 Damn that rain's got 
My I-Pad soaking wet
 I’m so far, so far, 
So far from Oregon
 So far, so far, 
So far from Oregon


There's a place 
Where I have to be
 And a place 

Where I want to be
 But they're so far, so far apart


I feel like two different people
 Living in two different worlds
 That sort of helps me 

Remember you
 Barefoot in your 

Burgundy dress
 On that beach and I know 

You know the rest
 When am I gonna 

Get back home to you
 I’m so far, so far, 

So far from Oregon
 I’m so far, so far, 
 I’m so far, so far, 
From Oregon
So far


“I Won’t Forget It”

 
I won’t forget you 
When trouble comes around
You was there for me 
When I was down

I, I, I won’t forget it
No I, I, I won’t forget it

There were so many 
Who talked behind my face
They was always good 
For putting me in my place
They spent all their time 
Kicking me in my ass
Now they beggin' me 
To forget the past

And I, I, I won’t forget it
No I, I, I won’t forget it
Na na na

 I can count on, I can count on
One of my hands all my real friends
All the rest can go away now
And kiss it 

Cause I, I, I won’t forget it

I, I, I won’t forget it
No I, I, I... won’t forget it



Hello, yeah it's me yeah
I ain't gonna forget it
I told you I wasn't gonna forget it


I won't, I won't, I won't ooo
I won't forget it
I won't, I won't, I won't ooo
I won't forget it

                                   
ooo
You was there for me 
When I was down
I won't, I won't, I won't ooo
I won't forget it

Won't forget it

Yeah, I'm like an elephant mutha 
I don't forget it
                        

“KING OF THE WORLD”


 
I work from nine to five 

Down at the place where I work
Nobody ever even notices me 

When I walk in and out the door
I feel invisible 

To the whole of the universe
With everything I say 

And everything I do

But, when I come home to you
The greatest thing I ever do 

Is loving you
And I feel like the king of the world
I feel like the king of the world
I feel like the king of the world

Wasn't smart in school, wasn't cool, 

Wasn't really going nowhere
I'm never gonna be rich and the world 
Ain't gonna miss me when I'm gone
You know there are people 

In my own family
Who could care less 

If I died today from the flu

But, when I come home to you
The greatest thing I’ll ever do 

Is loving you
And I feel like the king of the world
I feel like the king of the world
Feel like the king of the world

Nobody's ever gonna consult me 

On how to solve problems in the world
I'm insignificant in every way 

That you can think of
To most everybody 

All I am is just
Somebody else 

That they can screw

Yeah, but when I come home to you
It’s like drinkin’ all the morning dew
The greatest thing I'll ever do 

Is loving you
And I feel like the king of the world
I feel like the king of the world
I feel like the king of the world



The greatest thing I'll ever do 
Is loving you
I feel like the king of the world

Lovin' you
I feel like the king of the world

I feel like the king
I'm wearin' a big old crown
Feel like the king of the world

Yeah, yeah

"Dance With Me"


Some days I know
 You regret having met
 The one who's upsetting you
 Forgetting you, not letting you
 Get a word in at all
 But at the end of the day
All I ask is

 Why don’t you dance with me
 This song lasts as long as we dance
 Together so why don’t we, why don’t you
 Stay with me until we run out of it
 Time to dance now so why don't you,
 Why don't we dance

I can't imagine how you feel
 When I know it's so hard to deal
 But you've got a feel for me
 And you're real with me,
And you need to be here with me
 When I’m off in another world
 But at the end of the day, all I ask is

 Why don’t you dance with me
 This song lasts as long as we dance
 Together so why don’t we, why don’t you
 Stay with me until we run out of it
 Time to dance now so why don't you,
 Why don't we dance



 Why don’t you dance with me
 This song lasts as long as we dance
 Together so why don’t we, 

Why don’t we dance


“Please”

 
I’ve done something really bad 
And I know you’re really mad
 And I know you’re really hurt 
And I know I’m such a jerk
 I know sorry ain’t so hot
But it’s the only thing I got
 See, I can’t change the past
But there’s something I gotta ask

Please, please, please
Come back to me

 I'm gonna fight and scream
And drop down to my knees
 Gonna pout and shout
Till you come back to my house
 Gonna flirt, coerce 
Or maybe something worse
 Smack my own self
And maybe burn in hell
 I will stand the pain
Run me over with a train
 But please, please, please
Come back to me

It’s hard for you to forgive 
And it’s hard for me to live
  Knowing what I’ve done
Just for a little fun
 I know you’ve lost your faith 
And you harbor all this hate
 I’ll do anything on earth if ya let me 
Prove how much you’re worth


Yeah please, please, please
Come back to me


 I'm gonna fight and scream
And drop down to my knees
 Gonna pout and shout
Till you come back to my house
 Gonna flirt, coerce 
Or maybe something worse
 Smack my own self
And maybe burn in hell
 I will stand the pain
Run me over with a train
 But please, please, please
Please, please
Come back to me

  

Baby, baby come back
Baby come back
Come on back
Yeah
 I said please, please, please
Please, please
Come back to me

P p p p p p please, please please
Come back to me
Come back to me
Smack my own self 
And maybe burn in hell
Please, please, please, please...



“INNOCENT OF ALL CHARGES”
  

I don’t get to see you 
Like I want to anymore
 You’re preoccupied with 
All that bullshit you do
 I don’t know if you realize what 
It’s doing to me, to you, to us
 But it’s wearing me out
Wearin' me out

All I want to do 
Is kidnap and capture you
 And do everything together 
Again like we used to
 If that’s a crime, I’ll do my time
But I’m innocent of all charges
 Willing to take the rap for this
But I’m innocent of all charges

Every day is like a penalty
I’m feeling incarcerated
 Berated and I hate it
 You keep treating me 
Like you do and I’ll end up 
Walking out on you
 Now can you deal with, that?
Deal with that


 All I want to do 
Is kidnap and capture you
 And do everything together 
Again like we used to
 If that’s a crime, I’ll do my time
But I’m innocent of all charges
 I’m willing to take the rap for this
But I’m innocent of all charges


Arrest me if you want to

Throw me in your jail
You can be my jailor
 Detain me if you want

Throw the cuffs on me
Be my jailor
Ooo

Cause, all I want to do 
Is kidnap and capture you
 And do everything together 
Again like we used to
 If that’s a crime, I’ll do my time
But I’m innocent of all charges
 I’m willing to take the rap for this
But I’m innocent of all charges

 I’m willing to take the rap for this
But I’m innocent 



“THE DANCER”

I was eating lunch 
In the park 
Across the street from your house
 I saw you dancing all alone 
In your garden, and
 Moved to get a closer look 
At your private moment
 I did not mean 
To invade your privacy

 And you danced, you danced for me
 And you danced, you danced so sweet
 For what seemed like forever

As unapproachable 
As I thought you were 
I still made plans to meet you
 So many days I came to see you 
Dance in your garden
 With full intentions of forwarding 
A message to you 
Explaining my actions, my apologies 
And my hesitance to confront you

And you danced, you danced for me
And you danced, you danced so sweet
 For what seemed like forever

A couple of weeks went by
 And I finally got the nerve 
To ring your door bell
 A gentle, old man answered 
And was mystified by my observations
 He told me of a niece he’d had 
Who'd passed away over forty years now
 He recalled for me the days when 
She would dance in his backyard

He said she danced, she danced for me
 And she danced, she danced so sweet
 For what seemed like...
 For what seemed like...



“THE SIMPLE LIFE”


Here I am breaking the rules
 Sometimes I feel, I feel so confused
 Like a Jack Mackerel with no fin

Can’t give up now, I’m overdue
I’ve got my ship but I’ve got no crew
Cause I stretched myself so thin

I’m gonna fix 
Everything that I’ve broken
 All I need 
Is just a little more time

Hiding from the simple life
 Hiding from the simple life
 Got to reach the stars tonight
 I’m prepared to pay the price

The sun is shining but it’s blinding my eyes
 It makes me think about butterflies
 No matter what they do, they don’t win

 I’ve got wings but I can’t fly
 Should pay some shrink to tell me why
 
I put myself through all I been

 I’m gonna fix 
Everything that I’ve broken
 All I need 
Is just a little more time

Hiding from the simple life
 Hiding from the simple life
 Got to reach the stars tonight
 I’m prepared to pay the price
 Hiding from the simple life


Hiding from the simple life
 Hiding from the simple life

 I’m prepared to pay the price
 Hiding from the simple life

 Hiding from the simple life
 Hiding from the simple life
 Got to reach the stars tonight

Hiding from the simple life

“BANG BANG ZOOM”

 
 
A telemarketer,
A parking meter person
A couple of beautiful people
And a plastic surgeon
People who win awards 
People who sell diets
People on the weather channel
People who start riots
People who lie on Facebook
And the fucking IRS
Dudes on infomercials
And girls with phony tits
The inventor of selfies
Those who sell kids crack
TV evangelists
I hope they ain't coming back
A bus full of criminal defense attorneys
Everybody jealous
Get them ready for the journey
 
Bang bang zoom
Gonna send ‘em all to the moon
I’ve got some tickets for these folks
I’m serious, this ain’t no joke
I'm gonna send ‘em to the moon
With a bang bang bang bang zoom
 
Domestic violators
And every terrorist
An heir to a fortune
And a psychoanalyst
A couple of super models
Now what do we do without them?
A killer named Manson
But don’t send Marilyn
Those who think up schemes
To screw other people
Politicians and all their bullshit
And all those who are evil
Like pimps and abusers
And dead beat dads
People who are prejudice
People who start fads
Used car salesmen
Tailgate drivers
People who piss me off
And everybody on Survivor
 
Bang bang zoom 
Gonna send ‘em all to the moon
I’ve got some tickets for these folks
I’m serious, this ain’t no joke
I'm gonna send ‘em to the moon 
With a bang bang bang bang zoom
 
Somebody start a colony, give them plenty of food
Give them lots of money and incentives for the move
We don’t need their asses parking ‘round here no more
Fuel up the rocket baby, I’ll show them all the door
 
Bang bang zoom 
Gonna send ‘em all to the moon
I’ve got some tickets for these folks
I’m serious, this ain’t no joke
I'm gonna send ‘em to the moon 
With a bang bang bang bang zoom
