LET SLEEPING DOGS LIE Let sleeping dogs lie. Let sleeping dogs lie! Man, just take a break. I’ll tell you why. ‘Cause we’re sick of all your preaching and your old, self-righteous tone. It’s time that you leave well enough alone. Well, I know you love to ramble and say what’s on your mind But you can’t stand when others do the same. You love to ruffle feathers, and say, “Hey! Look at Me!” To you a conversation’s just a game. Let sleeping dogs lie. Let sleeping dogs lie! Please don’t speak a word when you walk by. ‘Cause we’re sick of all your big-talk and your old, self-righteous tone. It’s time that you leave well enough alone. Well, just like any K-9, you've got to leave your mark, so you whiz on every pretty fence and tree. But if nobody’s perfect, then your piss ain’t lemonade. So zip it shut and simply let it be. Let sleeping dogs lie. Let sleeping dogs lie! It’s hard for you but I think you should try. ‘Cause we’re tired of all your bitching and your old, self-righteous tone. It’s time that you leave well enough alone. So when you pass your judgment, I’ll have to ask you this Is it for the greater good or just yourself? 'Cause, I respect opinions and the freedom of the mind But sometimes we should leave them on the shelf. Now, my friend, I ain’t malicious, and I’m really on your side. But here’s one thing I hope you understand. When you’re strolling through the world, don’t you touch that sleeping dog Or that old pooch might wake up and bite your hand! And remember….. Let sleeping dogs lie. Let sleeping dogs lie! And don’t make wings for pigs that just don’t fly. We’re through with all your meddling and your old, self-righteous tone. It’s time that you leave well enough alone!!!........ Yeah, we’re done with all your preaching and your old, self-righteous tone…… It’s time that you leave them poor dogs alone!....... Yeah, let sleeping dogs lie!

FIND MY WAY Well, here I am just living day to day, and though it’s nice, we’ve all got bills to pay. And in spite of all the good times that I’ll miss, I know there must be more to me than this. I’ve tried to make the most of every day. but life or I keep getting in the way. All I want is something to believe- to play my hand, to give and to receive. But often I just don’t know what to say, so I’ll ask you now to help me find my way. Sometimes that silver screen will beckon me Other times it looks like pure insanity. But when that fame n’ fortune look real nice, I can't find the will I need to pay that price Should I move around or simply stay in place? Should I march alone or join the big rat race? Can I speak the truth and count on being free, when the best of us don’t always find the key? So, if I’m in the dark or gone astray, please shine a light and help me find my way. I dream of sleepin’ deep through every night. knowing what I did today was right. I wanna go the distance far and wide. but I could rest just knowing that I tried. So, here I am just living day to day. My friends are near, and the doc says I’m o.k. But through the best of times and thankfulness, I know there must be more to me than this. So, with respect I’ll ask you if I may to shine a light and help me find my way.

MISS ANGEL What on Earth is going on inside me? Something changed upon that sunny day My knees are weak and somehow I am smiling It could just be that you’ve blown me away. V Well…. I stumbled all alone into this funky little town Trying so hard to set things right and turn my life around And you went out of your way just to say “Hello!” It meant so much to me, I swear, more than you’ll ever know. And when you smiled, you took my breath….it’s true Missy Missy Angel, I think I’m in a-love with you. V Well….. you’ve got the brains, the brawn and lots of class And if it came down to the wire, the will to kick some ass You sang about your past, your joys and woes And through the years of ups and downs, you look just like a rose. And when you’re near my heart skips a beat or two Missy Missy Angel, I think I’m in a-love with you. (Bridge) Now, you might think I’m just a shallow buck-o who only likes you for your pretty face But you cannot be one thing and look another, oh no The beauty of your soul’s your sweetest grace. V (soft) Now I’m a fool for love, but I do know this You’d make me so happy, girl, with just one precious kiss But if that will not happen in the end It would be my honor, babe, to always be your friend V So I thought I’d sing to you my silly little song And I really hope that it will help us get along I rock for you, as all these people see So please feel free to dance around, and fall in love with me. And whether I’m feeling glad or bad or blue….. Missy Missy Angel, I think I’m in a-love with you. X3

ONCE THE WIND Trying all day and all night To live life as I feel is right Whether in pain or at ease My thoughts run away with the breeze. (Chorus) I believe some other life As sure as I have sinned I was free to roam the skies I was once the wind. Through the canyons and the clouds Flying high and low Clearly I could see the path I knew just where to go….. just like the wind. I’ve worked so hard to get by Only to ask myself “Why?” Surely I must have a place With winds of an unending grace. (Chorus) Somewhere down along the road I think I lost my way My hunger went unsatisfied Convention didn’t pay. Like the wind I am not seen And now I’ve got to go It's time to take another course And get on with the show…. Just like the wind. I just can’t help but dream on That one day my fears will be gone And when they are I will be free Free to live my destiny. (Chorus) Set me loose just like the wind Then I can reach them all I’ll cut through all the darkness And through every prison wall. Past the oceans and the storms I'll move both day and night. And once they see what I can do Then I’ll be out of sight… (Chorus) I could be so far away But yet I’m always near To the light or the abyss I will show no fear. If I could be like the wind All I’d do is roam In the crowd or solitude Now I’m coming home…. Just like the wind.

She was looking for some comfort 🏖️🏝️ 🏖️ from the traffic and the heat ☀️🥵 -a fill-up for her hunger and a place to rest her feet. She glided through the sliding door of the local Trader Joe's, looking like a million bucks 💰 💥 💰 from her head down to her toes. She said, "Please, Sir, can you help me 'cuz I'm looking for a treat - a scrumptious slice of heaven 😇 for a soul that's feeling beat?" The wise, old man smiled and said, "Check in the other aisle, ✔️ but be careful when you see it, 👀 or you might stay here a while." 'Cuz it ain't the frozen cherries🍒 or the potent Tuscan kale. 🥬 In fact, it's something better, but it's really not for sale. That somethin' that you're looking for won't just come in a box; 🎁 it's a limited edition that no place really stocks. It's not found in a basket 🧺 or some sweet, low-fat ice cream 🍨 If you want the cream of the whole crop, then you will find your dream." 🌠🌠🌠 "Ahhh," she thought, "Euphemisms, it would seem." 🤔 So, she headed to the bakery 🧁 🍩 🥧 and then on to the beer 🍻 - past the wine and to the chips without a hint of cheer. She strolled on to the flowers, 💐 🌹 🌺 and a pretty view was found, but nothing that could satisfy and a tear dropped to the ground. 😔🥀 But another kindly helper came and said, "Can I help you, Miss? 😁 You look like you could use a lift 🚀 or a boost of instant bliss.☝️ And please don't mind me saying this, but what you're looking for has stepped outside for just a bit and right out through that door." 👉 "And it ain't no Snickerdoodle, or those chocolate-covered hearts.🤎🤎🤎 It's out there in the parking lot just pushing shopping carts!" 🛒 🛒 🛒 "So tell the cashier when you depart to... Leave the quinoa, and ditch the peas, and pass on all the spices, 🧂🌶️ and say, "Void the Fennel, please! And, keep the salsa, skip the cheese, 🧀 and hold the munchies, but most of all... Void the Fennel, please!' 'Cuz you don't need to gobble, girl, to wobble in your knees!" So, she took a step outside at last into the scorching sun 🌞🌡️ onto the old, asphalt lot, where no one goes for fun. But, there it was- just the thing -the one she was looking for. 🎯 When their eyes met, they both knew the sparks would fly galore! ✨💫 🎉 😍 No, it wasn't near the produce 🥒🍆 🥕 or the finest Cabernet. 🍷 It wasn't at the check-out, gluten-free or Chardonnay. 🍾 See, the dream that she was dreamin' of didn't just come in a box. 🎁 It was a limited edition that no place really stocks. And, he ain't no Snickerdoodle or some chocolate-covered hearts. 🤎🤎🤎 He's just out there in the parking lot just pushing shopping carts! 🛒🛒 🛒 So, she kindly said when she did depart, 😃 "I'll leave the quinoa and ditch the peas, and pass on all the spices. 🧂🌶️ And, Void the Fennel, please. And, keep the salsa, and skip the cheese. 🧀 Hold the munchies, but most of all, Void the Fennel, please! 'Cuz I don't need to gobble, Sir, to wobble in my knees! No, I don't need to gobble, Sir, to wobble in my knees! And...Void the Fennel, please." 😉

Solid Priceless like a wish come true, his will is not for sale. Nothing can corrupt it, not hunger, wealth or jail. He needs not gold or silver, but freedom just to choose. He’d rather toil honestly than lie to only lose. Priceless… like a wish come true Steady like the winds of change, his dreams will stand each breeze. He values new and different views, but never shall appease. He’ll hurt not one for profit, or when in dire straits. He hopes that Judgement Day he’ll pass those pearly gates. Steady… like the winds of change Solid like that Swedish steel, his conscience bears the cold. Only if he thinks it’s right, will he do as he is told. No one tells him who to be, whose heart is in control. He sails the wildest oceans; he’s the captain of his soul. Solid… like that Swedish steel Yes, sir. He's solid....like I want to be.

Look at that Cell Phone Zombie With her face glued to her screen. If I dropped dead, she’d move ahead like I was never seen. Look at all the Cell Phone Zombies 40,000 accidents a year They trip and fall down, like a bunch of clowns What the hell is goin’ on around here?! Well, I’ll tell ya…. Chorus: People now are just too afraid to look each other right in the eye. Tryin’ to look so busy and cool I just hang my head and sigh. Don’t wanna be a Cell Phone Zombie and fry my brain all day and walk around my pretty town with nuthin’ at all to say. Ain’t gonna be a Cell Phone Zombie or put the blinders on. Whether on a train, on a bus or plane I’m gonna sing to you my song! Chorus: Can’t they see all of the roses here, or the chance to make a friend? If they’d only stop and take a look around they might not have to pretend! Ain't gonna be a Cell Phone Zombie! Don't wanna be a Cell Phone Zombie. Ain't gonna be drifting in the digital sea, no siree Ain't gonna be a Cell Phone Zombie! Chorus: I wanna feel that I’m here with you Together in this dive. And do high fives and talk face to face Like we did back in ’85. Ain’t gonna be a Cell Phone Zombie gonna try to keep going on. So wherever you go, either fast or slow I hope you get this song! Ain't gonna be a Cell Phone Zombie! Don't wanna be a Cell Phone Zombie! I'd rather crash and burn than twist and slowly turn into another cell Phone Zombie! Look out! Here they come!!!

Lately you've felt older and your aching for much more. You're working like a trooper. and still the wolves are at your door. Eager to impress them all you gave the boss your best. And then he laid you off like that so you packed up for the West. You hit the wall and were feeling low and fell on the goodwill dime. So you wrote some songs you prayed like hell would not be just wasted time. You pushed aside your essence just to walk in others' shoes But you're feeling so disconnected now you've got nothing left to lose. They never seemed to see you there for who you know you are. And in your gut you've always known that you're a shining star. You know you tried to make it work as someone you know you're not. Well now it's time to live your dreams and show 'em all what you've got. You've got to make your stand! )x2) Now listen.... Grab your trusty six-string Play it loud and play it true. Your day job might not be much fun but it does not reflect you. Someone out there in the crowd will see just who you are And if you get booed off the stage you're still a shining star. Suits and ties never fit you right or the raps to make a sale. So answer that call deep inside and my friend you will not fail. You might never make a cent but you won't die ashamed Knowing you lived by your heart that this hard world never tamed! You've got to make your stand! (x2) Grab your axe... and MAKE YOUR STAND!

Things we touch will come and go And many marvels have their price Still we keep up with the Joneses Without ever thinking twice. The novelty will fade And it ends up in a bin So it really makes no difference To who I am or where I’ve been. (Chorus) The writing’s on the wall There’s no use to pretend A bag of gold is nice But nothing beats a friend We can reach out for the stars We can live our lives or bust But all those other things Are just shadows and dust. Now please don’t get me wrong I do like pretty things Like a picture on the wall A pretty rose, and these guitar strings But I know they’re for sale I can get them anytime And if I can’t share them with you Honey, they aren’t worth a dime. (Chorus) The writing’s on the wall There’s no use to pretend That if we’ve got the money Then everything will mend. We can reach out for the stars We can make it real or bust But all those other things Are just shadows and dust. Shadows and Dust. That’s what it means to me When you obey your toys, and you aren’t feeling free. Shadows and Dust. It’ll play out in the end. When people tell you lies time and time again. Now I’ve been ‘round the world I have my cool degree I’ve put it all together And it makes no sense to me. But there’s one truth I know If you give me just one thing A shoulder I can lean on Would give me everything. (Chorus) The writing’s on the wall There’s no use to pretend From sandbox politics To old wars that never end We can reach out for the stars We can take a chance or bust But all those other things Are just shadows and dust.
