1. _ Cowboy Star
(puerta - pack - north - drummond)
Of man's progress i don't give a hoot
And man's estrangements of nature's arrangements
Has given cause for my heartbreak to boot
The simple life though filled with strife
And struggle with the land
Still remained its simple self
And that i understand
So city smog and dog eat dog
For some may hold sublime
Well as for me if i had my way
I'd had lived some other time
Praise the prairie
And pass the cake
I'd like to eat it too
But being born now was my mistake
I've passed the buckaroo
I'd say
You're right
No chance why fight?
Why be a cowboy star
(but) hump back brahmas
Lovely cow mamas
Saw dust floor saloons
Dance hall queens romanced in my dreams
So why pop my baloon?
No chance
Why fight?
Still in my own right
I'd be a cowboy star
Dreams of my life
Are so carried away
If just in my dreams
I could be for one day
Just for one day
Lost in my dreams
I'll be riding away
Like a cowboy star
Stage set: sundown,
In my last showdown i'll be....

2. _ The Brunt
(pack - puerta - north - drummond)
Leaping quick on leopard's back
I face the brunt of his attack
In the land of nod i'm king
Until the alarm clock rings
Stepping out from safety's door
I hear the rushing traffic roar
Smiling to myself i say,
"...hooray its a brand new day"
Slashing my way through vine
I'll kill if i have to
I'll be there on time
Clawed through the freeway jam
I curse at the guy who passed me
Last time 'round
In my office settled back
Drink a cup of coffee (black)
Stretch my mind and try'n erase
The thought of the day to face
Life is like the leopard's den
And once you find you've fallen in
A safari of the heart
Surely comes to an end
Madness is our damnation
Strange is the situation we're all in
To one man it matters nothing
Others it shatters something; no one wins
I could not see it myself (though i'd read about it)
I could not hear it myself (though i'd heard about it)
I could not feel it myself (though i knew that it was real)
I could not hear it myself (don't you lie about it)
I could not feel it myself (but don't you cry about it)
For there's an animal in us all
The brunt of which you'll see

3. _ Harvey
(puerta)
All this time
All this worry
All this way to go for nothin'
What's the sense
Of the hurry
You tell me if you sense somethin'
I dreamed a lot when i was younger
I'm older now and still i hunger
For some understanding
There's no understanding, now
Was there ever?
One thin line
Draws the border
Between madness and the genius
But no pen can erase it
So we keep these things between us
I dreamed a lot when i was younger
I'm older now and still i hunger
For some understanding
There's no understanding, now was there ever?
'and my front brain would not accept my thinker see? no kiddin'

4. _ I Wanna Know
(puerta - pack)
Sometimes i feel
That we've been herded like sheep
We've been led out like lambs to the slaughter
And empty souls
Have kept the downtrodden down
And took the best and left us the fodder
Still in my heart
I feel such purpose
A reason for being alive
And i want to know,
I want to know
Sometimes it seems
There was meant to be more
Than this rush and this battle to living
And there's the times
We've all tasted the space
That you know when we feel that we're giving
So take some time
To think about this
I'm blinded now, i'd like to see
And i want to know,
I want to know
I want to see through all the barriers
That were created before i was born
Were they put out there just to guide me
Or keep the weak from becoming strong
I want to know,
I want to know
Still in my heart
I feel such purpose
A reason for being alive
And i want to know
Sometimes i fear
That all men are asleep
Must we shout to awake those that slumber?

5. _ We Need You Too
(puerta - pack)
Nothing's complete
Before every chain is linked
And your mind wasn't meant
To be sold out in the street
You are wearing a disguise
It reveals you when you cry
Does it hurt you when you try?
Can i help you?
Could i reach you?
Tell me now because
We need you too
Don't let worries be
Oh your walls against your being
You can climb them
What's beyond is surely worth your seeing
You are wearing a disguise
It reveals you when you cry
Does it hurt you when you try?
Can i help you?
Could i reach you?
Tell me now because
We need you too

6. _ Can't Let A Woman
(pack)
Where do you think you're goin'?
Dressin' like some evening tramp?
What do you think you're doin'?
Well, you got them talkin' behind my back
It must be something i can't relate
It's enough to drive a man from his mind
So get back home before it's too late
How could you up and just walk out of my life?
I can't let a woman like you get to my head
I can't let a woman like you get to my head
What do you think you're doin' ?
Well i told you not to leave anymore
Where do you think you're going?
Come on, get your fingers off of that door
It must be something i can't relate
It's enough to drive a man from his mind
So get back home before it's too late
How could you up and just walk out of my life?
I can't let a woman like you get to my head
I can't let a woman like you get to my head
I've waited all my life
For someone like you
Waited all my life
Is there something that i could do...
I can't let a woman like you get to my head
I can't let a woman like you get to my head
Goo, goo goo goo goo.

7. _ Runnin' Away
(pack)
Think of the summer when i held you here
Everything was right
All the years we spent in love
Just to end one night
A lot of things are closin' in on me
She's gone and i'm in misery
There's no place that i can really be
Out into my own
So i'm runnin' away
I have got to be alone
I'm runnin' away
It makes no sense at all
Think of the summers when i held you here
All the dreams we'd planned
Afternoons we spent alone
I can't understand
A lot of things are closin' in on me
She's gone and i'm in misery
There's no place that i can really be
Out into my own
So i'm runnin' away
I have got to be alone
I'm runnin' away
It makes no sense at all
All i really want to know
What it is that makes love grow
Still inside me it remains
I never spend a day
Without wondering how i'll make it alone...
So i'm runnin' away
I have got to be alone
I'm runnin' away it makes no sense at all
So i'm runnin' away
I have got to be alone
I'm runnin' away it makes no sense at all
So i'm runnin' away
I have got to be alone
I'm runnin' away it makes no sense at all

8. _ Danse With Me George
(pack - puerta - north - drummond)
Until i met you baby
I only played with the band
But when i play my polonaise now
On my piano grand
I can't help but thinkin'
Of our first one night stand
When my precious hands were tinkling
On my little georgie sand
Come on and danse with me george
The pants you're wearing mama
And the cigar in your hand
Sorta put me off at first
I didn't understand
But now i love my vichy mama
I adore you and
I wouldn't ever leave you baby
For another man
Come on and danse with me george
You know your lips can spout quotations
But when your hips start their gyrations
They can thaw valley forge
Danse with me george
The memoirs of a mademoiselle
Far ahead of her time
Has left us all a legend
That's never gonna die
To say your ways were novel
Would be a lousy pun
But of late i've been feelig awful
I want to have me some fun
So come on
Put your pen aside baby
Come on
Your lips are driving me crazy
We could talk this out i'm sure
If you would just shut your mouth
So come on,
So come on,
Da, da, da danse with me george
Well your lips can spout quotations (waltzin', minuet, mazurka)
But when your hips start their gyrations (doin' it 'till we're beserka)
They could thaw valley forge
Danse with me george
Le danse
The legend that you leave us is never gonna die.....

9. _ And...somewhere I've Never Travelled
(drummond)
But if you can want love
You can hide
All the memories inside
And it won't take more than you can give
Just to find a way to live
And as soon as you can look around
There's a new love to be found
