                   Make Believe

TRAVELING THROUGH AN EVERLASTING DAZE.
SO UNSURE IN THIS NEVER ENDING MAZE.
WATCHING THE WORLD PASS BY,AND BABY I JUST DON'T KNOW WHY.
IT'S GETTING ME DOWN,AND I WONDER WHEN I'LL COME AROUND

EVERYDAY I WATCH THE CHANGING TIDES.
GROWING FARTHER,FARTHER,AND FARTHER APART.
THE EVIDENCE IS TOO GREATFOR ANYBODY TO EGNORE.
SOMETHING HAS TO BE DONE BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.

UP AND DOWN YOUR CARROUCEL IT GOES ROUND AND ROUND.
WONDERING WHERE I STAND IN THIS LAND OF MAKE BELIEVE.
WITH YOUR CHANGING MOODS I WONDER IF YOU'LL COME AROUND.
OR WILL YOU STAY IN THIS LAND OF MAKE BELIEVE

YOU HAVE YOUR STUCK UP FRIENDS,PRECIOUS AND CONCEIDED.
THEY LEAD ME ON AND JUST TURN ME AWAY.
I FEEL LIKE AN OUTSIDER IN THIS GAME OF INSIDE OR OUT
ALL THEY DO IS SMILE AND LAUGH IN YOUR FACE.

REPEAT CHORUS
                              MAKE BELIEVE.

	and I'm not about to lose you again.

	say that you'll stay
	cause I want you to stay,I want to be with everyday,
	love is even better the second time around.

	Kiss me again to see if I'm dreamin'
	I'm feeling the passion burnin'again.

	chorus.

		what does she want from me!

	Alone last night in my in my dreams,
	I see a face coming down on me.
	Dark eyes and the way she moved,
	Drew me toward her and I was hers.

	Black hair flowing hands upraised,
	calling me toward her,she said hear what I say.
	I've seen your life and what's to come.
	She grined and laughed, I awoke with the sun.

	What does she want from me, what does she need from me.
	Can't she see that I'm allright?
	What does she want from me,does she want my soul?
	she can't have it .....I rock and roll.

	Nails like knives and Legs like cream,
	she's into myu life and out of my dreams.
	White face woman right behind me.
	She wears a black cloak, she beckens me!

	And in the night ,I hear the words said.
	I feel her presence, she's near my bed.
	I raise my head only to see.
	There's nothing there but she's laughing at me.

                            Mesmerized
		
		You watch me as I sing my songs
		with a look as you say of mezmorized.
		my eyes followed you from across the stage
		with the expresion of hypnetized.

		your beauty and grace stopped in my tracks
		I was never a loss for words before.
		you turned me on with your smile and lace
		and your dancing across the floor.

		And I want you , Yes I want you.
		This feeling never been as strong before
		with anyone else long before.
		Until I saw you , now I want you.
		But what I need to know from you.
		is that you're feeling the same way too

		I could sing to you forever.
		and all the songs would come from my heart.
		I could teach you all the words
		and you could show me how to love again.

		Show me how to take it slow.
		Show me how to take it easy.
		
		When I hold you in my arms at last.
		I'm going to steal a kiss from your lips.
		Cause you're the one who's got me mezmorized.
		with the beauty that's in your eyes.

             Love-Sick Fool
    
I wnted to see you but you weren't there
I called you up but there was no voice to hhear
I'm wondering now "Do you really care?"
Are you gone?

*Do you remember when you took me home?
I thought you were someone I could call my own
To think of life without you is really cruel
Here I stand crying a love sick fool.

You held me in your arms and we made love all night
You brought my passion to higher heights
You will be forever what I want in my life
Baby life goes on.

Do you remember when you took me home?
I thought you were someone I could call my own
To think of life without you is really cruel
Here i Stand crying a love sick fool.

                       Unborn


My baby's soul is in heaven now wondering why I did what I did.
Could a mother hate so strongly she wouldn't want her child to live?

Little infant angel I want you to know just why,
You look down on this earth and see you mother cry.

You could be here and hugging me the way a mother and child do.
I was such a fool to think that I was too young to have you.

Now not a day goes by when I son't wonder how you'd look
And every time I do so, I cry for the life I took.

	Red Line Ecstasy

Runnin' on empty, no time to stop,
 Getting home is all I can think of.
Been out on the road and working real hard,
 I just can't wait to see.... Uh !
That sweet little woman of mine !

She know's how I feel every time that I leave,
 I miss her sweet love when I'm gone.
Those home sick blues could drive any man mad
 and all I can think of all week.... Uh !
Is that sweet little woman of mine !

Chorus:
I know it's hard when I'm on the road
 But you're always on my mind...
I'm comin' home and the highways mine,
 Pretty soon I know I'll be feelin' fine...
Oh babe, I need some lovin' tonight !

(Guitar solo)

One more mile, my heart's in overdrive,
 I'm getting very close to the red line...
As I pull in the yard, I see you waitin' there for me,
 and your smile brings me to ecstasy, yeah...
Oh that sweet little woman of mine !

Chorus:

Baby you're my sweet...
 Sweet little woman of mine... (guitar spasm)
 Sweet little woman of mine... (guitar spasms again)
 Sweet little woman of mine... (guitar goes into orgasmic spasms)
So sweet ! (End)

As guitars reverberate and fade, voice says;
 `The rest is none of your business ha ha ha...'

        `Lost in You'

Caught, in this love affair,
 So unsure, when you're not there,
So many nights, I tried to make you see,
 That I'm so lost in you. . .
That I don't know what to do !

You, make me walk that line,
 Baby please, let me know you're mine,
All my fears, got me runnin' blind,
 Becuase I'm so lost in you. . .
That I don't know what to do !

Chorus:
If you need me, honey let me know,
 If you want me, baby don't say `no',
If you love me, don't let go !
 I always want you by my side !

(Guitar leads)

Love, now I know I'm hooked,
 Didn't need, to take a second look,
But I know, this is where I want to be,
 Remaining so lost in you. . .
That I don't know what to do !

Baby without you I'm lost upon the seas of my desire,
You know you've got what it takes to keep me burning with a fire !

[Short guitar solo]

Chorus:

[Guitar leads with solo]

[Acapella and in four part harmony]
I'm lost without your love [Sustain for two bars]

                 ROCK of YOUTH 

            (fast beat - RnR type song) 

Well my mama called me up 'cause she wanted to say
That my Aunt is getting married and wants my band to play.
I don't know what kind of band that they think we are
I said "Yes but Rock is all I play on my guitar."

	Well we're rockin', rockin', the weddings really hoppin'.
        Yeah we're rockin', rockin', and now there is no stoppin'.

Well a strange thing started happenin' when we played our songs,
The older group got up and danced and sang along.
I almost hit the floor when I heard them call for more.
They started looking younger than they ever did before.

	Well we're rockin', rockin', the weddings really hoppin'.
        Yeah we're rockin', rockin', and now there is no stoppin'.

The story that I'm telling you is true I swear,
Their wrinkles went away and so did the gray in their hair.
The women became girls and the men became boys,
They were happy as kids with brand new toys.

	Well they're rockin', rockin', the weddings really hoppin'.
        Yeah they're rockin', rockin', and now there is no stoppin'.

                "SHOULD I?"

           (Rock ballad type)

If I could hold her in my arms
and say the things I want to say
     would she hold me tight or run away.
We were friends for so long
now I've fallen in love.
     Does she feel the same way too.

I want to take her hand in mine
and say "I love you so."
     Can she tell, does she already know.
I want to stay with her each night,
fell her body next to mine.
     Does she feel the same way too.

	Does she know how much I need her,
	Does she know how much I care.
	Can she tell that I love her so.
	I wish I knew what she was feeling
	'cause it's driving me insane.
	Does she want me as a friend or as much more.

Should I keep it to myself
or should I see the whole thing through.
     Will she understand what I'm trying to do.
Will I scare her away
with the things I want to say.
     Or does she feel the same way too.

	Does she know how much I need her,
	Does she know how much I care.
	Can she tell that I love her so.
	I wish I knew what she was feeling
	'cause it's driving me insane.
	Does she want me as a friend or as much more.

     I've got to know
     Does she feel the same way too.
     Does she feel the same way too.
     Does she feel the same way too.      <repeat and fade>

Roy Rogers Syndrome (to a cowpoke/country beat)
-------------------

It used to be heavy metal
Then it turned to punk
But the latest thing on the radio 
Is better than all that junk

You see, I've caught this dangerous disease
And it makes me moan and groan
'Cause the bug that I have caught
The call it the Roy Rogers Syndrome

Roy Rogers Syndrome
Oh how it haunts me so   (chorus)
Roy Rogers Syndrome
Wake up and yell Yippee-Yi-Oh

I've been losing a lot of sleep over this
Listening all night to Dolly Parton
I've been buying Hank Williams Jr. albums
By the crate and by the carton

These designer jeans are incredibly tight
These boots hurt my feet so much
But I must confess the whips, the chains,
The spurs are fun to touch

*CHORUS*

I wish this disease would leave me
I'd really like to heave her
But I suppose it could be worse
I could have opera fever!

"Pedestrians Are Fair Game"
---------------------------
Driving down Comm. Ave.
We light up a couple joints
I spot a man and he's with his wife
"My God! There's 20 points!"

I slap my car into fourth gear
I head towards the waiting couple
The way that my car really moves
I know I'll have no trouble

Pedestrians are fair game
At least while I'm on the road      (this is the)
Where I'll strike, where I'll hit     (chorus)
Nobody will ever know

I drive around in a beat-up Chevy
It's got a snow plow on the front
It's got a special silencer
So you never even hear a grunt

Bing! Bing! There they go
Two more for my collection
When I think of all the folks I hit
I get this great big erection

*CHORUS*

I put another notch in my steering column
But I'll soon be back for more
'Cause like Jack the Ripper and David Lee Roth
I sick and rotten to the core

                     Gray skies

I'm lost in my thoughts, of how things should be, 
wondering if life is really fair.  
I look to the sky, and all that I see, 
is gray clouds forming from despair.  

Things have been tough, and I'm surprized I'm still here, but always
had someone to talk things out with, for without my good friends, my life
would of come to and end, and my headstone you would of been reading.

Without rock and roll, to take up my time, 
I think I would of gone crazy.
It's something to believe in, to put my hope into, 
barley grasping at reality.

Life is too short, to think of the past, you should look towards your future.
Live one day at a time, and you will soon find, the path you thought was
lost long ago, take each day in stride, and a friend with to confide, and
it will lead you to a new beggining, for a friend you have in me, and soon
you will see, the sky turning a deeper blue.

My music helps me live on, and it makes each day go on, 
stronger and stronger I become.. 
listening to the songs, which each in their own, 
have a hidden special meaning, which we can all learn from...

So when your in doubt, and you need somewhere to turn, think of me, and
your favorite music, I will be here, to hold out a hand, and the music
will be there, to soothe you.... 

316.15F2 - Cindi JanczykANT::SLABOUNTYDo ya wanna bump &amp; grind with me?Fri Mar 03 1989 10:3530
                In my thoughts

Lost in my thoughts, of how things should be,
you and I together, it seems..
for all eternity, but sometimes life, just isn't fair, 
and our lives, well, we need someone,with to share.  

Things always seem to wither, and into pieces we fall apart, 
it's always soo confusing, the questions of the heart.  
Commitment and Confusion, always seem to mend, 
just what is Love, that feeling that we share and unknowingly send. 

Does he really care, or is love just a game,
the feeling that we feel, sometimes isn't always the same.  
Hurt before by love, one tends to become shy, 
we just don't know our limits, and we're so afraid to let go,
and reach for the sky.

We must learn to believe in one another, to trust and to feel free, 
to express our true feelings, and to let our feelings be.  
We should follow what's in our heart, and pay close attention to our minds, 
take each day as your last, and true love we shall find.  

Live each day as if It's our last, for one never knows about life, 
it can end as quickly as it began, and soon thoughts of us will be in strife. 
So remember this my special friend, no matter what happens to us now, I will 
always be here for you, our friendship, if not lovers, will live on deep 
within my heart.

			I'm Watching

     	Pretty little girls
  	Try to hide from me
  	I've got long eyes
  	So I can still see
  
  	The beauty of your body
  	The shape of a thigh 
  	The rolling of a stocking
  	Beauty is shocking

bridge: You strip for my pleasure
  	And only for me
  	When I leave you at night
  	Do you dream of me

chorus: I'm watching you
   	Each and every night
  	I'm watching you
  	Hidden from plain sight
  
  	I can't touch but I see
	The creeper in the bushes
	You can bet he sees
	If you saw me would you touch me
   
  	You strip for my pleasure
 	And only for me
	When I leave you at night
	Do you dream of me

	I'm watching you 
	each and every night
	I'm watching you 
	Hidden from your sight
