Rich Kid (Nothing With Your Name on it)
​You got no idea what you’re saying
Don’t try and tell me that I’m stupid
Cuz you never listen
You’re always saying something
But you aint got nothing
Nothing with your name on it
You always say you’re going places
With your new-found education
But you never listen
You’re always saying something
But you aint got nothing
Nothing with your name on it
Daddy paid for it
He paid for everything, Yeah
Rich Rich Rich Kid
Rich Rich Rich Kid
Yeah
Butch
Riding his bike down the corner of Adams and Main
He got grey in his hair and others to blame
For what went down in 82
Talking like he knows you, but you aint seen him a day in your life
He said I’m a man of integral spirit
Been keeping tabs on the things I’m hearing
And everybody things they got the truth
But let me tell ya boy what went down in 82
See I quit hanging around all the time with that sweet thang Darlene
Yeah I quit hanging around all the time with that sweet thang
Got a new kind of woman, went by Mary Jane
Mary got me going got me going
Mary got me going got me going
Mary got me going got me going got me going yeah yeah yeah
Aurora
Why would they give youa name
That took all the fun out of everything
And who even thinks of a name like that
Aurora you lonely spirit
Still playing with the cards you were given
Who told ya you could go out in that dress
Run to the sky tonight
We’ll see you in the lights
Run to the sky tonight
We’ll see you in the lights
My God what a lawfully ending
A woman with a natural beauty
She never dreamed of a fate like that
Aurora they should keep you quiet
Hide you where we can’t find ya
Baby you should run and not come back
Run to the sky tonight
We’ll see you in the lights
Run to the sky tonight
We’ll see you in the lights
Reverend Simon
All the people
Walking slowly to the
Great big steeple
Center city and
Everybody walks so freely
Reverend Simon
Grabs his bible
Makes his way to
Center stage
Every week he
Walks so freely
Every week he walks so freely in the light
Reverends mother she
Takes the front row seat
Starts to wonder how her boy learned to
Walk so freely, walk so freely in the light
All the things you do never add of right
Little Johnny sits in the nose bleads he
Hates his mommy but
Loves the way she sings
Every Sunday she’s walking freely in the light
Everybody is walking freely in the light
Everybody is walking freely in the light
Stranger
I tell you she’s a stranger
Who left her mark on the world
She’ll try an tell you she’s my lover
But I’ve never seen this girl before
So wipe that smile off your face dear
You’re not folling anyone
You got a funny way of lying
And I’m done
I’m gonna takeback all the time I wasted
Trying to be someone I always hated for you
You never thought I’d live up to anything
But here I am
I don’t talk to strangers
I don’t talk to strangers
I don’t talk to strangers anymore
I don’t talk to strangers
I don’t talk to strangers
I don’t talk to strangers anymore
I don’t talk to strangers
I don’t talk to strangers
I don’t talk to strangers anymore
I’m gonna takeback all the time I wasted
Trying to be someone I always hated for you
You never thought I’d live up to anything
But here I am
Gloria
Leaves are falling
But I still feel the same as yesterday
She’s not calling
And I can’t turn the page, can’t look away
Gloria if I sing to ya
Would you hear me
Would you hear me
It’s been too long
Since I knew ya
Beautifully answer me
Maybe I am foolish
To think you’d stay for good this time
But if I told ya honey
You would feel my love
Would you try
Gloria if I sing to ya
Would you hear me
Would you hear me
It’s been too long
Since I knew ya
Beautifully answer me
Because I’ve been feeling
Feeling like wind
You don’t see it
You don’t see it anyway
You can feel it
You feel it in your breath
In your sprit you can feel it
You feel it oh
Gloria if I sing to ya
Would you hear me
Would you hear me
It’s been too long
Since I knew ya
Beautifully answer me
The Cougar
If you walked a mile in my shoes
Then you’d be in love with her too
As I walked back home I saw her pull her curtains open wide
Then everything just came to a stop
Now, Nancy’s Mom I know it’s wrong
And if I could, I would change it
But I knew from the start you had my heart
No way to disengage it
If it could be just you and me
then our lives could be so sweet
But for now I know that I gotta go
Back home, across the street
If you walked a mile in her heels
The ones that matched her jet black hair
Then you’d know just how her heart raced when she saw me standing there
And she knew she had so much more to share
Now, Nancy’s Mom she knows it’s wrong and
If she could, she’d change it
But she knew from the start she had his heart
Now she had to engage it
She said “it could be just you and me
‘cause I know you’re so sweet,
But for now I know that you gotta go
Back home, across the street”
Now, Nancy’s Mom and I knew it was wrong
And if we could, we’d change it
But her husband went away on business
So we had some of our own
Then college came and went, now
I feel so alone and incomplete
But I’ll always have the time I spent with
Her across the street
Fever Dreamer

What she does oh is no surprise
But honey I want you

Run Rabbit Run
Feelin numb,
I got Wings on the radio
Doin 90 in a school zone
Im a one-man band on the run
Better run, run, rabbit, run while you can,
‘Cause nobody’s here to hold your hand
This time
Grab the guns and the money, do what you can,
Don’t look back, don’t put your head in the sand
Your time is due
Change the station,
Rockin out to Rachmaninoff
High’s wearin off
My cool starts to wear thin
Panic’s setting in
Better run, run, rabbit, run while you can,
‘Cause nobody’s here to hold your hand
This time
Grab the guns and the money, do what you can,
Don’t look back, don’t put your head in the sand
Your time is due
Better run run Rabbit, leave while you can
Don’t turn back, don’t say goodbye
‘Cause there’s no time, for you
Cafe Racer
Not a care in the world
No siren not a word
You can hear me
Pushing 80 in a 55
Flying down this road
Cutting corners close
I’ll be gone before you blink your eye
My baby said shes waiting for me on the other side of town
I can feel it, I can feel it
I barely notice anybody anytime she’s around
I don’t see em I don’t see em
Pushing my limits
Call an ambulance
Can you hear me
Can you hear me
Cherrish my spriit
Lost within the wind
I was gone
Before I knew it
My baby said shes waiting for me on the other side of town
I can feel it, I can feel it
I barely notice anybody anytime she’s around
I don’t see em I don’t see em
So there I was
In the middle of the night
There I was
In the middle of this crime
My baby said shes waiting for me on the other side of town
I can feel it, I can feel it
I barely notice anybody anytime she’s around
I don’t see em I don’t see em
