Crystal Eyes 05:49
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 Michael Knespel copyright 2000 (2011)

Kiowa Drive 04:38
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 04:24
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 04:04
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
