BLUE MOON
True, true
You know it’s true
That we
Could do whate’er we wanted to
Who knew
The simple truth
Was you
Could be whate’er you wanted to
Blue moon
You shine your light
All night
But it’s not yours; it’s borrowed from the sun
Soon, soon
The sun will come
Claim his due
And pour his golden rays on everyone.
You, you
You know it’s true
Given half a chance
You’d know exactly what to do
True, true
The inner light
Burning bright
Inside your mind is shining outside too
Blue, blue
The color hurts
There are words
You know that I can never say to you
True blue
Who knew
That in the end
You’d do exactly what you wanted to
True, true
You know it’s true
That we
Could do whate’er we wanted to
Who knew
The day would come
When you
Would find the thing you wanted to
Blue moon
I miss your light
The gentle night
But now the sky is governed by the sun
Soon, soon
The moon will rise
So dry your eyes
And let her shed a tear for everyone

ALL YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE
Come on, come along,
I got a song to sing, the thing’s
That it don’t last too long
And fate is strong
So strong you just can’t get it wrong
Yeah, you know me well,
So what the hell, come in, begin,
I’ll give you everything
A pair of wings
And rings of gold and thrones of kings
You can close your eyes
And count to nine, then to ten,
Now here’s your big surprise
You realize
The prize of which you fantasize
Just remember this
A little kiss will seal the deal,
So do enjoy it now
A sacred cow
To plough rich fields, yeah, you know how
All your dreams come true
All your dreams come true
You can come aboard
Of your accord and fly the sky
Or you can sail the sea
I’ll set you free
To be whate’er you wanna be
You can travel far
Follow the stars, or go back home
You know the choice ain’t hard
Let down yer guard
The bard is holding every card
You can stay the same
Or play the game and change your name
And learn to walk the walk
And talk the talk
Unlock the time, turn back the clock
Come on, close your eyes
And count to nine, then to ten,
Now here’s your big surprise
You realize
Your prize and one small sacrifice
All your dreams come true
All your dreams come true
Come on, come along,
I got a song to sing, the thing’s
That it don’t last too long
And fate is strong
So strong you just can’t get it wrong
Yeah, you know me well,
So what the hell, come in, begin,
I’ll give you everything
Gossamer wings
Rings of diamonds, crowns of kings
You can close your eyes
And count to nine, and then to ten,
Now here’s your big surprise
You realize
Your prize and one small sacrifice
Just remember this
Our little kiss has sealed the deal,
And there will come a time
When you’ll be mine
For time eternal, so sublime
All your dreams come true
All your dreams come true

ZOMBIES OF LOVE
A dark and stormy night
A push and a shove
A stark and swarmy sight
Zombies of love
Beg on bended knee
For a sign from above
A knock on the door
I’m a zombie of love
Just tell me what to do and I will do it for you
That’s all I want
A hammer in a hand
A hand in a glove
Breaking little bones
A zombie of love
Waiting in vain
For a sign from above
Werwolves at the door
I’m a zombie of love
Just tell me what to do and I will do it for you
That’s all I want

The Year Of The Tiger

THE YEAR OF THE TIGER
How many moons have crossed the sky
Hanging over us tonight
Like some fair-skinned beauty’s parasol
Since the Hundred Schools of Thought
Since Siddhartha Gautama
Since the Gardens of Babylon
How many suns have set
Sinking softly in the west
Like so many ships been lost at sea
Since we sang the hero’s fall
Since the emperor built the wall
Since the Garden of Gethsemane
How many things have changed
How much has stayed the same
To bring us here tonight
As the sky explodes with light
The Year of the Tiger

Question Or Two

QUESTION OR TWO
Well I went to the mountain and I went to the sea
Went to the sand and I went to the tree
Went to the king and I went to the queen
When I come back, baby’s waiting for me
Where did you go and what did you see?
Where did you go and what did you see?
Where did you go and what did you see?
What did you bring back home for me?
Well I went to the crossroads and got down on my knees
Went to the birds and I went to the bees
Climbed up the mountain and I sailed the sea
When I come back, baby’s waiting for me
Where did you go and what did you see?
Where did you go and what did you see?
Where did you go and what did you see?
What did you bring back home for me?
I got a question or two for you
I got a question or two for you
Well I went to the crossroads and got down on my knees
Went to the sands and I went to the trees
Went to the king and I went to the queen
When I come back, people waiting for me
Where did you go and what did you see?
Where did you go and what did you see?
Where did you go and what did you see?
What did you bring back home for me?
I got a question or two for you

WISH I HAD
Wish I had
More I could give
Beggar baby, beggar baby
Buy you food
Somewhere to live
Beggar baby, beggar baby
Buy you clothes
Send you to school
Beggar baby, beggar baby
Buy you toys
That’d be cool
Beggar baby, yeah, but
I’m not some big superstar
Paycheck only goes so far
I deserve gas in my car
Got to buy a new guitar
Wish I had
More I could spare
Beggar baby, beggar baby
Hope you know
I really care
Beggar baby, beggar baby
Wish there was
More I could do
Beggar baby, beggar baby
One of me
Billions of you
Beggar baby, yeah, ‘cause
I’m not some big billionaire
Truth is life can be unfair
I deserve my share of fun
Got to have my vacation
Dirty Hungry Beauty
Sleeping in the garbage
Dirty Hungry Genius
Playing with the light bulb
Dirty Hungry Money
Mister where you going?
Dirty Hungry Dirty
WAAAAAAAAAAAAA!

REMEMBER THE FUTURE
Smoking virtual gun
Hazy virtual sun
Meltin’ the horizon line
The end is nigh and that’s just fine
Feel the virtual pain
Pray for virtual rain
To wash the weathered world away
Arcin’ to a brave new day
Ancient eggshell cracked
Science fiction fact
A deeper sea of blue when
All your dreams come true
Kitty kats in flight
Sound and speed of light
Sky high shoot the moon tonight
Tomorrow night we’re shooting stars
I remember when this was the future
I remember
I remember when, oh je me souviens!
I ain’t worried at all
I know this dude we can call
Got the signal on the fliptop phones
Like Captain Kirk and Doctor Bones
I’m ahead of myself
All plugged into the shelf
Communicating with the USA
Over there it’s yesterday
Ancient eggshell cracked
Science fiction fact
A deeper sea of blue when
All your dreams come true
Kitty kats in flight
Sound and speed of light
Sky high shoot the moon tonight
Tomorrow night we’re shooting stars
I remember when this was the future
I remember
I remember when, oh je me souviens!
I think it’s all in our mind
Leaving matter behind
Energy and mc2
Sitting in my rocking chair
I remember when this was the future
I remember
I remember when, oh je me souviens!

Sleeping With The Enemy

SLEEPING WITH THE ENEMY
I’m on a mission to find out all I can
About the inner machinations of my fellow man
I got my briefing handed down from control
I’m gonna meet up with my contact gotta find the mole
Deep under cover behind enemy lines
And my comrades back on base they only want me for my mind
(So now I’m)
Sleeping with the enemy
Sleeping with the enemy
Sleeping with the enemy
Sleeping with the enemy
(A traitor to the cause)
The femme fatale with the inquisitive eyes
She’s digging deep into the details of my alibis
I missed that safehouse rendez vous late last night
And the word is out among the brass that something’s not right
I watch my back I’m sure I’m sensing a trap
Cause I think I’m being followed and I know my phone is tapped
(They know I’m)
Sleeping with the enemy
Sleeping with the enemy
Sleeping with the enemy
Sleeping with the enemy
(A traitor to my kind)

I Love Shanghai
03:13

I LOVE SHANGHAI
I hopped off the plane at PVG
There was a breeze blowing in from the East China Sea
Jumped on the train doing 431
Racing downtown speeding into the sun
Stately old buildings lined up on the Bund
But right across the river history is outgunned
In Lujiazui
The buildings scrape the sky
I love Shanghai
I love Shanghai
On the street a million people milling about
Young Romeo begs, young Juliet pouts
Teetering along, do the escalator freeze
Got the high-heeled boots jacked up above the knees
Clearest day in weeks, you can almost see the sky
Family of three with a puppy on a bike
Anything could happen
That’s the reason why
I love Shanghai
I love Shanghai
I love Shanghai
I love Shanghai
Down on Huaihai Lu
Out on Huashan Lu
Up on Nanjing Lu
Down on Hengshan Lu
Out on Jinling Lu
Up on Julu Lu
Down on Taikang Lu
Here on Dagu Lu
Yeah…
Xintiandi and the tourists getting down
Zhujiajiao I dig the ancient water town
Plaza 66 baby’s shopping with the stars
Tongren Lu used to have some sleazy bars
Sino-Russian building like a big wedding cake
Qipu Lu is cheap because it’s fake
Never gonna leave
‘Cause this place gets me high
I love Shanghai
I love Shanghai
I love Shanghai
Wo ai Shanghai!
