Crystal Eyes
Looking out over the ocean the sea
Cherry red day fallin’ oh how could it be
Lights begin to sparkle in the ponderous westward sky
To say hello and yet to say goodbye
Water grabbing onward and taking the earth from me
As if to say that time is confined oh can’t you see
Seagulls floating upward in the coastal winds to fight
Higher and higher to reach those neon lights (of those)
Crystal Eyes upon the horizon (Those)
Crystal Eyes upon the horizon
Oh and I will keep you, I will treat you, til’ the morning light
Oh and I will cherish, you’re the parish in the air tonight
Inbetween the soothing sands and the brightly lighten stars
People headed home it’s closing time for bars
Not even a notice of the picture plain in sight
Not even a stare at the painting of the night (Of those..)
CH – 2X’s
Solo – 8 measures
CH 3X’s – then vamp
You’re in the air tonight

Kiowa Drive
Lookin back, take a dive, Want a ride down Kiowa Drive
All sorts of good memories, Mr Mrs. B. were good to me
Larson’s pond, The Tree, and Freaky Frog,
Party on Wayne, through the mental fog
Ridin’ dirt bikes, 65 Ford Van
It was all part of our adolescent plan
Told the parents we were camping out
Two girls’ visit we never told them about
Campfire, talkin’ all through the night
Try to make it last, until the morning light
CH
Keep it together, in the mind’s eye,
to the ride down Kiowa Drive
Bolin’s “Teaser” blaring down the curvy road,
And so that’s how the story is told

Took Over

Took Over
Movin’ up the ladder, Slowly but surely
Taken all the clsses, Feelin’ burly
Took a cut from wages, to get a new start
Came a long way baby, from a vendor cart
Felt it comin’, Weather mirroring
Here comes the cutbacks, everyone’s hearing
Cash began to fall, lost that income
Someone dropped the ball….
CH –
The day they came and took over
And the sky began to turn to grey
The day they came and took over
And no one had the right to say
Clouds came rollin’ in, for the summer
Never been like this before, Oh what a bummer
Black suits came stormin’ in, there was cryin’
When they told us, that no one’s buying
Stuck there til’ 9 o’clock, just like a hostage
Someone break the lock, from the frostage
Another meeting, everyone in shock
Limited seating, just around the block
CH
(Break with weather sounds)
CH – vamp to end

The People, Our People
It always seems that we’re in a big fight
And who is wrong and who is right
Keeping secrets wonderin’ what it will be
Blinding the truth from what we see
Everthing’s fallin’ it’s toe to toe
What to do, Where to go
Pull up the bootstraps it’s up to you
Whether it’s happy or sad, excited or blue
CH
They don’t keep telling the people
They don’t keep telling our people
They don’t keep telling the people
They don’t keep telling our people
Everyone’s quiet figurin’ what to say
Scrapin’ by, livin’ day to day
Pondering the thought is we’ll ever get ahead
Nothing done, Nothing said
Hang tight we’re the land of the free
Baby, we have the right, we hold the key
Speak up loud, tell them we won’t give up
We’ll keep our “wine” in a little ‘ol’ cup
CH – keyboard solo 8 measures – guitar solo 8 measures
CH 2X’s and End

Float Away
Try to find the colors in the hues
To take away the sad ‘ole’ blues
Picture them in the mind
To the point to find
Surine in the eye
It’s the place to go for happiness bestowed
For one to see the beauty set free
Just float away to another day
To get by there’s no lies
There’s no words to say
Let’s just call it another day
Come out and play
There’s no other way
Float away, Float away, Float Away
