Dance Janie Dance
A recent grad, she’s fresh out of school
Janie works in the office pool
Clocking 9 to 5, that’s cool with her
Come the weekend and it’s time to dance
And spread her wings
Time to take a chance
Maybe find herself a true romance
Or have a little fling
Chorus—
You know she don’t like hippies
Singing old school Rock and Roll
And the thugs and the gangster rappers
Just leave her cold
She likes some hip shakin’ rhythm
And voices with lots of soul
If it’s Saturday night
She’ll be dancing at the Disco
She loves the lights, and the pounding beat
The heavy breathing and the body heat
Can’t resist -- you’ve got to move your feet
And sway
So hit the floor, let the game begin
A touch of innocence
A touch of sin
A whirling dervish out for a spin
Come back and lead the way

Face of My Illusion
I knew I’d never really make it with you
You always keep me thinking what should I do
You kinda’ drive me insane
And feed on my brain
Yeah that’s what you do
You make me wonder what I’m still doing here
I hear some thunder but the weather’s still clear
Your eyes are shrouded in gray
When you try to say
You will always be near
Don’t even say another word; don’t make confusion
Not while I’m looking at the face of my illusion
I’m facing my illusion
I sit alone when I go out to the bars
I watch some movies that don’t have any stars
Cause I got nothing to do but think about you
And cruise in my car
Now you were better than I thought you would be
But this is prison and you’ve got to be free
So I won’t blame you if you
Find somebody new and forget about me
I need a moment while I search for some solution
But in the mirror is the face of my illusion
The face of my illusion/ alternate= I’m facing my illusion
BREAK
I don’t see me in your world
I don’t see you in mine
I see no light at the end of the tunnel of love
Do you?
So if you wonder why I’ve come to this conclusion
You know I recognize the face of my illusion
The face of my illusion
The face of my illusion
I’m facing my illusion

Hey Jonah
There is this guy, Marsupialized, from the EA forum
At first glance, he can seem a little mean
But take some time, read between the lines
And you’re sure to find
The huggy bear behind the thorny screen
Artist of life, gathering friends he can call his own
Making music and good times
In bullshit-free zone
Hey Jonah-
Come on out to play
There’s a whole wide, wonderful world
Waiting for us on this beautiful day
Hey Jonah-
Yeah, you pointed (showed us) the way
So we’ll join the band, pledging heart and hand,
It’s time to seize the day
Father of the weekly challenge called the PRF
Each round a different topic
Dare to write a song
A simple plan spread across the land
To all corners of the world
Since fall 2008 still going strong
Now joined together in a true community
We’re joined together to explore life’s possibilities

Corporation Man
Hey, Corporation Man, high time you understand
That we’ve grown tired of all your schemes
Boost profits at all costs, our jobs and our futures lost
As you export the American Dream
Growing ever richer as the years go by
While average families get the screw
Ship your headquarters off to Dubai
Claim your taxes are way too high
So why does a working guy
Pay twice the rate you do ?
Chastise the government, for all the money spent
When 40% goes straight to you
Pay all those lobbyists to grease the palms
And keep the money flowing through
Dump all the pensions and retirement
Pump up your bonus and parachute
You have your own sense of entitlement
40% of all yearly wealth
Finds its way onto your shelf
So what’s a common man to do?
You love to bash illegal immigrants
Unless you need a cleaning crew
Or someone to bus the tables at your restaurants
Landscape your gardens and your country clubs
Care for your house and children, too
Ahhh, Corporation Man--with your corruption plan
Our futures, you don’t give a damn
Corporation Man

Riptide
Life can get so crazy, it’s often tough
And the twists and tangles can get a little rough
Still you gotta’ stand your ground, show you got the stuff
You know, the road is never easy
Still we need a little tenderness to see us through
That love ‘em and leave‘em, might seem the thing to do
That’s how I played, the game ‘til I met you
That’s when you reached right out and seized me
Chorus:
Your love has got me caught up like a Riptide
Pulling me out to sea
No matter how I struggle and (or) I fight it
It keeps on washing over me
Is this really happening to me, can this be true ?
In the past I’d have wandered on, but now there’s you
No one has ever moved me the way you do
U know you, nourish and complete me
So I’ll drown in the sweet surrender, I’ll be your fool
Stop trying to play the part of the king of cool
It’s a matter of the heart that the mind can’t rule
No doubt about it, just gotta’ shout it
Chorus
Bridge:
No, I can’t escape it
Aw, but that’s all right
Truth is there’s no denying
It’ll surely be the life of me

Love Street
Met at your wedding I was just 19
New college bride, you were a young man’s dream
But a family friend, I didn’t dare to scheme
We meet again, now I’m 23
No longer married, now you’re fancy free
With the tables turned ‘cause you’re checking me
Chorus—
Hey, the time has arrived
Time for us to go driving—time to take that ride
Hey, can you feel the fire
Hearts bursting with desire—time to take that ride
Cruising side by side down Love Street
We roll the top back on old cherry red
Jump in the saddle, time to speed ahead
Punch the throttle in, can’t you feel the revs
Feel the wind blowing through our hair
Settle on back ‘cause we‘ve got time to spare
Plenty of traction, no signs of wear
It’s something different, not the usual plan
An older woman with a younger man
Not all so difficult to understand
We’ve grown in different ways
Eyes wide open, we know who we are
So come on baby, you can drive my car
The journey’s starting, hope it takes us far
It’s time to cut to chase
Our destiny awaits
So buckle in, ‘cause we’re on our way
Goodbye to puppy love, it’s so passe’
Time for deeper meanings and longer stays
Heart to heart and skin to skin
Feel the power of the clutch we’re in
Just the starting shot, so let the charge begin

Murdered Love
I know that love’s not a one-way street
It’s full of detours and dangers
But we always seemed to find our way
Managed to roll with the changes
Sharing our triumphs and trying times
Through trust and understanding
True to each other and to ourselves
Never cruel or demanding
Day by day we grew ever stronger
New things to learn and discover
Seemed to follow that as better friends
We became better lovers
Then one day you came up like a storm
Or like a bolt from the blue
You said, “We’re finished and I’m moving on”
All that we’ve learned was now through
You broke my heart when you set me free
Dagger of death for me emotionally
Murder of Love in the First Degree
And you just walk away
Sleepless nights and empty days
All I can see up ahead
Walkin’around in a stupor haze
Like the living dead
It’s hard to mend, the wounds run deep
From this Lover’s Crime
I’ve got to find a way to carry on
And search for brighter times
You broke my heart when you set me free
Dagger of death for me emotionally
Murder of Love in the First Degree
And you’ll just walk away
So as I struggle with this tragedy
You’ll slip away with no penalty
Skipping foot loose and fancy free
But it’s all hard times for me

I Got A Line On You
Let me take you baby, down to the river bed
Got to tell you somethin', go right to your head
Cause I got a line on you, babe
I got a line on you
Gotta put your arms around me
With every bit of your love
If you know what to do, I'll make love to you
Cause you got the right line to make it through these times
I got a line on you babe
I got a line on you babe
I got a line on you babe
I got a line on you
I got a line on you babe
You know my winter's almost over
My summer, she's comin' on strong
I can love you, love you, love you
Love you all year long
I got a line on you babe
I got a line on you
I got a line on you babe
I got a line on you
I got a line on you babe

Tomorrow Not Yesterday
Morning sun melts the night away,
The breaking dawn heralds a brand new day
Another chance…to make our way…
Be it the same or be it something new
One thing‘s assured, life’s gonna’ carry you
Toward the future, never the past
This is your time) , try to make it last…
Live for tomorrow not yesterday
All that matters is the here and now, it’s as true as truth can be
Banish all doubts, brave all uncertainty
Time brings change, that’s how it’s meant to be,
Shifting the shape of life’s geography
We move along the steady pace…
Don’t seek out comfort focusing on the past
Like gazing backward though a looking glass
Just Gauzy visions and memories
Supposed glories of what used to be…
Live for tomorrow not yesterday
Don’t accept that just because it was, that forever it shall be
Or be bound by the static of history
Always demons hangin’ round our doors to hinder and deceive
Old temptations and nagging fears, a (keep) tuggin’ at our sleeves
Rise above or they’ll drag you down, crashing to your knees
Rethink your tired ways and old routines
Life in motion, rolling down the line
More game of chance than rigid paradigm
Not like a train locked to the rail…
Never knowing what lies round the bend
Ever growing ‘til we reach the end
Heaven’s gate or nothingness
what awaits us we can only guess
Live for tomorrow not yesterday
All that matters is the here and now
It’s our only certainty
A gift of precious time
To live and breathe
Embrace reality

Surrender the Wheel / Fear of Falling
Circle circle spinning round
Flashing blue and green
Traveling beyond the bound
To places yet unseen
Take the beat of measured time
Leave the earthly grasp behind
A promontory so sublime
You’ll find you have to yield
Surrender to the Wheel
Unencumbered free from worries
Floating like a dream
Drifting through the perfumed air
Merging with the stream
Towers reaching toward the skies
Shadows cast their jagged lines
Silhouettes against the sunsets’
Fiery golden hue
Surrender to the Wheel
Din of the cacophony
Rising from below
A single note of clarity
Is all we need to know
High above it’s clear to see
The wondrous living tapestry
The common threads that bind us all
As human beings
Surrender to the Wheel
