Its Only The Dog
They dont write songs like that anymore!
You turn me off, and then you leave me in here
And then Im scratching at, your door, begging you for, some more
You make me hide, so your friends can come inside, and tell me to be quiet
I make some noise and I hear this haggled voice yelling hey whats the riot?
And I hear you say...
Its only the dog
Or maybe the cat
Or maybe the bird
Uh huh honey its only me
He jumps off, his chair, said Im a gonna look in there
My heart hits, the floor, as he came toward the door
He opened up to see, and fortunately for me, I resembled sherpa jacket
He closed the door, admitted he was wrong, about all the racket
Then I heard you say...
Its only the dog
Or maybe the cat
Or maybe its that bird
Uh huh honey its only me
Finally, your friends, say theyre gonna be goin

Mr. Kingdom
Daylight comes to those who live
But those who die they never see the sun come
Shining through their window pane they pass away.
Silly girl to be a fool, you didn't play the golden rule,
'cos once you're through with one world,
There's another waiting there.
Chorus
Help me such a lonely soul,
In dreams to leave behind the world.
Mr. kingdom help me please, to find the rainbow's end.
Looking from this empty room,
The corridors of endless gloom go crawling through the night,
To meet the dawn that's on its way.
Oh to sleep, per-chance to dream,
To live again those joyous scenes,
The laughter and the follies that are locked inside my head.
Chorus
Help me such a lonely soul,
In dreams to leave behind the world.
Mr. kingdom help me please, to find the rainbow's end.

Cherry Blossom Clinic Revisited
(it was one morning when I woke up, and then I found out that theyd signed some
Papers, and then I was gonna be kept in a bed owing to my state of mind.
And then I found out that the authorities had said, um, that Id gotta
Have special food fed to me for my thoughts, um, and I think its because,
Because I was going off my...)
Head
Sunbeam from flowered skies
Twenty thousand butterflies
Glorify my...
Turn from hot to very cool
Though it seems incredible
I could ride a bike around the room
Cherry blossom clinic
Is there any truth in what they say
Cherry blossom clinic
Lock me in and throw the key away
In this sad position where I lie
From the corner of my eye
Callous friends just pass me by
Doctor pays a visit

Rain Is Falling
(rain rain, go away, come again another day)
Early in the morning
The sun was up and the sky was very blue
Without a warning
As I looked out, my thoughts returned to you.
A noise in the city made the children run
And hide themselves away
And thunder boomed and lightning filled the sky.
Looking from this window
A thousand rivers running past my door
Standing on an island
Looking for someone upon the shore
I cane see it very clearly, nothings really changed
Then lightning strikes across an empty sky.
Chorus:
Ooohh, the rain is falling
Ooohh, the rain is falling
Ooohh, the rain is falling
Will it wash away the lonely tears?
(its raining, its pouring, the old man is snoring)

A Long Time Gone
Seems like forever and time left to spare
When I look out the window
And still youre not there
Youre a long time gone
Such a long time gone
Tearing down memories bitter and sweet
Smashing away til its all obsolete
Youre a long time gone, long time gone
Such a long time gone, long time gone
Youre a long time gone
Do I wonder why
Every day that i
Think about you still
And I always will
Did so much for me
Now I think I see
This I do believe
Feels more like a dream
Looked at the weeds in the broken concrete
Before the bulldozers waltzed in and killed the old street

Lift Me Up
Love is what I want
And all you gotta do is bring it to me, baby
Talk is what I want what I want
Oh, yeah what I want
And all you gotta do is bring it to me, baby
Talk come on, lets talk about it
Talk cant seem to do without it
Talk dont want to be one of the broken hearted
So lift me up, finish what you started
Take me on for a ride
Lift me up from the broken hearted
Rivers deep and wide
All I want is love what I want
Oh, yeah what I want
And all you gotta do is listen to me, baby what I want
(think, think, think, think, think, think, think, think)
You got to think about it
And do something about it
No use complainin when its over o-ver
So lift me up, finish what you started

Time After Time
Time after time, time after time
The skies are darkening they grow so dim
Strangers are meeting but it never ends
And one day theyll remember, one day they will know
(time after time)
From far away there comes a warning sound
And no one listens but its all around
And one day theyll remember, one day they will know
Chorus: time after time, no hiding anywhere
Time after time, the visions in the air
Time after time, they come from everywhere
(time after time)
Time after time
Just listen to the sirens of the world
They breathe a whisper waiting for the word
And one day theyll remember, one day they will know
(time after time)
Time after time it is the same old story
Another footstep on the trail of glory
And one day theyll remember, one day they will know

Heartbreaker
One look and you know shes trouble
Ruby red lips and flashing eyes
Cant resist, you just gotta have her
Ooh its a feeling that you cant disguise
Youre booked on a one way ticket
I can tell you that youre going nowhere
Shes a drug and youre not gonna kick it
Heartbreak city, shell take you there
I know Ive been here before
I read the script, I know the score
Theres no rules, she plays her own game
Shes a real heartbreaker and she brings on the rain
Rain (falling from the skies, falling from your eyes)
Rain (falling from the skies, falling from your eyes)
Thunder, cant you hear it crashing?
Storm clouds are waiting for you up ahead
Lightning, cant you see it flashing?
You havent listened to a word Ive said
Rain (falling from the skies, falling from your eyes)
Rain (falling from the skies, falling from your eyes)

Calling America
(somebody...)
Told her that there was a place like heaven
Across the water on a 747
Yeah, were living in
In a modern world.
And pretty soon shes really got the notion
Of flying out across the big blue ocean
Yeah, were living in
In a modern world.
Talk is cheap on satellite
But all I get is (static!)
Information, Im still here
Re-dial on automatic.
Chorus:
Calling america (cant get a message through)
Calling america (thats what she said to do)
Calling america (thats where she has to be)
Calling america (she left a number for me)
Calling america.
But Im just talking to a satellite

Lonesome Lullaby
I listened to the whine for way too long
Time for me to hear a different song
I waited overtime for things to turn around
Tired of waiting for it all to hit the ground
You said you knew all about it
What was right and what was wrong
You pulled the wool over the eyes of everyone
Maybe I was weak when I shouldve been strong
Cry, baby, cry
Tell me bout your lonesome lullaby
Cry, baby, cry
Tell me bout your lonesome lullaby
You took me by surprise and like a shot in the dark, shot in the dark
You showed yourself in your truest light, truest light
You saved yourself by saving nobody else
You must have cringed when you heard them tell
Cry, baby, cry
Tell me bout your lonesome lullaby
Cry, baby, cry
Tell me bout your lonesome lullaby
