1. _ Brighten Your Night With My Day
Daybreak finds you up and alive
Just as though you could touch a star
But sunset seems to leave you weary alone
And wondering who you are
Don't deny that lonely feeling
That keeps stealing on you from deep down inside
Hey, can't you see that it's no good concealing
A feeling it hurts you to hide
When you can come home to me
Yes, i'm happy to hear what you've got
To say to me, baby, all the way
Girl, you can count on me
Watch those shadows fade away
And brighten your night with my day
Daybreak, sunset hot and cold
Running smiles and tears
A bright outside to match your foolish pride
But not a word for the lonely years
Please come back to me
Now you won't have to say
That you'll stay with me, baby, no, it's not that way
Just come back home to me
Watch those shadows fade away
And brighten your night with my...
Daybreak, sunset
You don't have to cry no more
Now, everything's gonna be just fine
Watch out, baby, here it comes
Right around the corner
Here it comes
Just brighten your night with my day

2. _ Night Owl
A catfish he tends to groove on the water
It's just where he's bound to be
And a monkey kinds of flashes on fruits and bananas
So he lives in the top of a tree
But my eyes are made for darkness
And so the nighttime is right for me
Said i'm a night owl, honey
Sleep all day long
Now most folks they like the good day time
They like to see the shining sun
They're up in the morning
Off and running
'till they're too tired for having fun
But when the sun goes down
And them bright light shine
My daytime has just begun
I'm a night owl, honey
Sleep all day long
Said turn off that bright light, baby
You're just about to drive me blind
Draw them curtains for me, mama
You watch and you'll see
How my love light shines
Now, there's two sides to this
Great big world
And one of them is always night
Hey, if you can take care of
Business in the sunshine, baby
I guess you're gonna be alright
But don't come looking for stringbean
To lend you a hand
Because my eyes they can't stand the light
No, i'm a night owl, honey
Sleep all, sleep all day long
I said sleep all day long
I'm a night owl, honey

3. _ Knocking 'round The Zoo
Just knocking around the zoo on a thursday afternoon
There's bars on all the windows and they're counting up the spoons
And if i'm feeling edgy there's a chick who's paid to be my slave
But she'll hit me with a needle if she thinks i'm trying to misbehave
Now the keeper's trying to cool me says i'm bound to be alright
But i know that he can't fool me 'cause i'm putting him uptight
And i can feel him getting edgy every time i make a sudden move
And i can hear them celebrating every time i up and leave the room
Now my friends all came to see me they point at me and stare
Said he's just like the rest of us so what's he doing in there
They hide in their movie theaters drinking juice-keeping tight
'cause they're certain about one thing that zoo's no place to spend the
Night
Just knocking around the zoo on a thursday afternoon
There's bars on all the windows and they're counting up the spoons
And if i'm feeling edgy there's a chick who's paid to be my slave
But she'll hit me with a needle if she thinks i'm trying to misbehave

4. _ Something's Wrong
Something's wrong, that restless feeling's been preying on your mind
Road maps in a well cracked ceiling the signs aren't hard to find
Now i'm not saying that you've been mistreated
No one's hurt you - nothing's wrong
A moment's rest was all you needed
So pack your things and kindly move along
Like dust in the wind you're gone forever
You're wind-blown leaves you're a change in the weather
Just a town like any other a second brand new start
A third or fourth hand wife or lover no, you won't break her heart
Take some bacon go on and leave your watch chain
She won't count on nothing more
Wrap your hands around that small change
And tiptoe barefoot out the door
Yes, something's wrong that restless feeling's been preying on my mind
When things get bad i'm bound to pack my bags and just
Leave them all behind

5. _ Kootch's Song
She is frenzied to the point of pain.
She is counting up her list again.
She won't satisfy another man.
You understand.
You can't cross the boundry beyond which she stands.
He's disposed of all his inner mind,
Donned his mask and left the world behind.
He has cancelled all the checks he signed,
So why be kind this time?
You can't see the picture of you in his hand.
(really wicked danny kootch jazz solo ala john coltrane)
Now they've thrown out all the undesired,
Morbid dreams behind a gay attire.
They won't talk about the morning fire,
So why aspire?
You don't want to be what they think is a man.

6. _ Rainy Day Man
What good is that happy lie
All you wanted from the start was to cry
It looks like another fall
Your good friends they don't seem to help at all
When you're feeling kind of cold and small
Just look up your rainy day man
It does you no good to pretend child
You've made a hole much too big to mend
And it looks like you lose again, my friend
Call on your rainy day man
Now rainy day man he don't like sunshine
He don't chase rainbows
He don't need good times
Grey days rolling
Then you'll see him
Empty feeling
Now you need him
All those noble thoughts they just don't belong
You can't hide the truth with a happy song
And since you knew where you stood all along
Just look up your rainy day man
Now simple pleasures they all evade you
Store-bought treasures none can save you
Look for signs to ease the pain
Ask again
Go on and pray for rain
It looks like another fall
Your good friends they don't seem to help at all
When you're feeling kind of cold and small
Just look up your rainy day man
All i need to do is look up my rainy day man
Now what good is that happy lie
All you wanted from the start was to cry
