I wanna make a living, but I don't know what to do except
Go on the Road playing white boy music
I wanna make a living, but all I know how to do is just
Go on the Road playing white boy music

I'd like to make some money so I don' t have to go out on
Road and play that white boy music.

Daddy go away on the Road and play that white boy music
Nobody wants to be at home when Daddy's on the Road and he
Goes and he plays that white boy music

Their daddy plays that white boy music

Come on g play that white boy music'
Day after white after white boy music

White white white boy music

I wanna make a living, but I don't know what to do except
Go on the Road playing white boy music
Genuine old fashioned white bread music

THE WOMAN WHO WAS NOT WHAT SHE APPEARED TO BE

He met her after the second show
He said, "There's a party, would you like to go?"
Her eyes said 'yes', but her lips said 'no'...
But when he opened the door,
He was standin before
The Woman Who Was Not What She Appeared To Be
She smiled at him, the vision of sin
His future stretched before him like eternity
And later that night, he pressed up tight against
The Woman Who Was Not What She Appeared To Be.

....The woman comes, and the woman goes....
(these days.)
Where she sleeps tonight, only Heaven knows.
But she'll crystalize, the moment that he lets her go.
It got so hot,
He tied the Knot
With The Woman Who Was Not What She Appeared To Be
His friends stood by, The angels cried,
But a man in love sees only what he wants to see
When she kicked off her shoes,
All hell broke loose
From The Woman Who Was Not What She Appeared To Be

(She was not what she appeared to be.)
(She was not what she appeared to be.)
(She was not what she appeared to be.)

Jack woke up in the morning, and what did he see?
Brooklyn stretched before him like the Northern Sea
Cobble stones stretched in every direction,
As far as the eye could see.
But further by far,
In her Oldsmobile car,
Was The Woman Who Was Not What She Appeared To Be
(solo)
He waited for years, but she never appeared...
The Woman Who Was Not What She Appeared To Be
The drove her car beyond the Father star,
And now she sits in bars behind the coffee machine.
...And sometimes at night, if he's drunk or uptight,
He feels her there beside him and he wakes with a scream.

(She was not what she appeared to be.)
(She was not what she appeared to be.)
(She was not what she appeared to be.)

GREEN

You can laugh till you cry
You can ask yourself why
There's this strange little guy
Sez he loves you.

I'm a child, but it's true
That I'm crazy 4 U
And there's 'jack' you can do to disuade me

Cuz you're GREEN
Green as the color of money
You're so GREEN
Green is the color of your eyes, Girl
You're everything I've wanted

You can stomp on my face
You can squirt me with mace
But you'll never erase
How I feel

Yes it's strange
But it's true
That I'm crazy 4 U
You're a miracle
And I wanna climb you. . .

Cuz you're GREEN
Green as the color of money
You're so GREEN
Green as the color of your eyes, Girl-
You're everything that I ever wanted
GREEN
Green as the waves of Maui
You're so GREEN
Green like a colt as she kicks up her heels
In the Kentucky Morning

(silent speech:
Yellow!! When i Red your letter, i was Blue...
Orange u in love with me? i could b-come Violet....)

Cuz you're green
Green as the waves of Maui
You're so green
Green like a Colt
When she kicks up her heels
In the Kentucky morning.....
GREEN is the color....is the color

NAME IT

I ain't no alien from outer space
I'm just a poor boy, hung up on your face
A thousand silver pebbles reside in your eyes
And when I try to count them,
You slip me a lie
Oo, baby, THAT's why I say

You name it, You got it!
Ask and it's yours
You Name it, You Got It
(Name It You Got It)

If you give me your number, I'll give you a call
If you show me your feelings, I'll capture them all
If you sleep here tonight, You're destined to fall
I can see the writing on the wall
Can't you see the writing on the wall.
Oo baby, I sing it for you
And every word is true
Ooo I sing it to you...every word is true

You Name It You Got It

(solo)

You Name It You Got It
Ask, and it's yours.
You Name It You Got It
I'm hopelessly, shameless, blamelessly helpless
Honestly happily
YOURS
Can't you see it, baby? Can't you see it?
You Name It You Got It
Ask, and it's yours.
You Name It You Got It

STARLIGHT

Your mommy went to art school until she met your dad.
And then she tried to force-feed you the life she never had.
She sent you off to London to learn the violin.
And that's when your mates began...
To haunt you, and taunt you
For the Starlight.

Boy, now you are a loner, your difference is your scar.
The violin has moulded your hands, but now you play guitar.
You freeze in the back of a pick-up truck, but your solos steal the show.
And the mocking laughter turns to cheers...
And your band goes Top Ten
Ooo but the pain's so cold from handling
All that Starlight

(Japanese announcer: Ladies and Gentlemen....Here's Starlight! . . . (applause)...)
Still, there's something wrong
You turn around, and feel the chill.....
In London town
In Berlin
In New York
In Tokyo.........

"As good as you got, your guitar's so hot, it fell right through your hands"
You took what fate had dealt you, you took it like a man.
Producing faded starlets and hopeless Soho bands
And that's when your life began
Returning
Survival

I am but a fool, recalling the story of Starlight.

I REMEMBER YOU

Gone gone gone gong gone gone go-gone
My my baby's gone
H-h-h-how-how can I go on?
I remember so well how she would sing to me:
You're my melody
You're my memory
I remember you
What else can I do?

B-b-b-b-b-baby, I'm sorry
Watching you walk down the street,
Knowing you ain't got nothing to do but go sit alone at home.
I die.

You're my melody
You're my memory
I remember you
What else can I do?

Why can't we live together?
Hearts that belong together?

I remember you.

SILVER AND GOLD

All my sorrows soon forgotten
All my heartaches in Silver and Gold

All my numbers on a lady
Looks are only the things that I hold.

Lookin my way, she's a bender
Nothin' tender about her smile.

Drone for a while.
(Instrumental.)

Like a cobra, eyes and lashes
Image flashes...it's starting to snow........
In Silver and Gold
A sin to behold

BALLAD OF BILLY

Here comes Billy
Shuffling along
On his way off to the camp
Cute little kid, always smiling
I couldn't tell him, it wouldn't be right...

His sister, Sarah, disappeared last week
Billy doesn't know yet-
He thinks that she's lost
Mama just cries, looks out the window
So much pain, such a cost

I'm a guard at the Gatehouse
Lived in Munich before the war
Got a job- someone's got to do it,
Or else some Jew would steal some more.

Little Billy brings me presents:
Rocks and splinters shaped like a dog
Cute little kid,
Alwasy smiling
Doesn't dream of what's in store
what's in store

(Nightmare Soundscape)

Maybe I could try to help him,
Set him free, off into the woods.
Cost me dearly, if they catch us
But sleep would be easy , if I could
If I could....if I could....

Tonight's the night . Billy's ready
Rucksack packed with crumbs and such
Change of guard
WATCH THE SEARCHLIGHT, BILLY!

WOUND UP

Don't you know
When you're old as me
There ain't nothin worth gettin Wound Up about.

Easy goes-
When you're on the ropes
Keep it cool
What's with the Thunder?
When you're 6 feet under
People gonna wonder why you Blew Your Cool

Don't you know
When it's plain - it's true
There ain't nothin worth gettin
All Wound Up about.

And I know you'll get further than me.
But I'm never gonna get me all Wound Up about it.

LITTLE ONE

Little one
When I knew you were sleeping last night
When your breathing was easy and light,
That's when I came.
Came here for you.
Oh- there yu lay like a baby asleep
I stood over you praying, that please
I could enter your dream.

So I crept in your ear
"Don't awake, LittleOne,
You 've got nothing to fear...
Let me take you away
To my castle of dreams where the firebirds play

Break Away
Leave it behind
Break Away
You've got nothing to lose
Break Away
Come with me now
Break Away

Little One
Tho your eyes didn't open, you sighed,
Wrapped your arms tight around for the ride
And into my h'arms
Then did you gli-ide.
O.

How you blossomed that night
Like a young butterfly
On her first maiden flight.
Angels and nightinggales cried
Cuz the splendor of you was a blow to their pride

Break Away
Leave it behind
Break Away
You've got nothing to lose
Break Away
Come with me now
Break Away

Little One
When we woke in the morning to chimes
And your breathing was lilacs and limes
That's when we died.

DEEPER

Hey mama, won't you take a look?
You can read me like an open book
Hey, mama won't you take a look...?
My little lover- she steals all the covers.
But what I'd like to say
Is 'Let's us find a way to go deeper...'
We've gotta find a space inside our minds where
We can grow...
And somewhere back in time it's time to go,
She tries to find a way to get that boy
Back to her
Oh my love.

Hey ay look at that little girl
Her head is spinnin round in a whirl
Hey ay look at that little girl...
She don't want another mixed up lover
But what she wants to know
Is can this new boy take her deeper....
They gotta find a place inside their mind where they can go
And the two of them can disappear forever
She tries to find a way to bring that boy
Back to her
Oh my love

(sax by Mark Rivera)

He will come and go
He'll expect her to know...

And as the fire's glow
Attracts your eyes and pulls you deeper...
You try to find a way in time, back in time
Before you knew that love could die a thousand times
And rise again to face the morning
With the one you love
Oh my love.
