I Can't Perform
03:12
|
|||
The masquerade is over now it's closing time
I tried to make it happen tried to hold the line
Things were not the same after the fall
When you danced like Magdalena at the ball
I can't perform
Something deep inside of me so far from the norm
The music and the mystery….oh oh, oh oh oh.
Cue the stage lights set the scene
The show begins
They all come to wonder who could let them in
Scruffy juggling swords on center stage
As Zero tears libretto from the page
I can't perform
There's something deep inside of me so far from the norm
The magic and the misery….oh oh, oh oh oh.
The stage holds a mystery that calls out to the lonely
To show our faces painted and so bright
Words are a treasure that hold the very secrets
Things that give the meaning to our lives
I can't perform
La la la la la la la la la
so far from the norm
La la la la la la la la la
Oh, oh, oh oh oh oh!

(On any rainy day
You could have your parade
We could have a parade)
It's been such a long time
It feels like forever
I've been the right one
Since the twelfth of never
Memories cascade
It's all above my pay grade
That's not saying much
I'm just a fool in your charade
On any ordinary day
I might let you play
But today is our wedding day
I won't let you get away
Is it my imagination?
The voices or the station?
I'm right here in the middle
I'm worried just a little
When all is said and made
And all the years go by
We can surely say
That we are butterflies
If I am just a man
Would things not go to plan
If those plans were in
Somebody else's hands?
You don't have to explain
That you don't feel the same
We are not the same
On any rainy day
You could have your parade
We could have a parade
You don't have to explain
That you don't feel the same
We are not the same
On any rainy day
You could have your parade
We could have a parade

She Travels
03:04
|
|||
The air is still
The night is cold
She wonders if the record's sold anymore
She doesn't need the drugs
She's got to have her baby's love
She travels and I tremble
She travels
And I tremble
She's on the plane to Belgium
She's a millionaire
Nothing seems to matter
She doesn't seem to care
And she travels
And I tremble
She travels
And I tremble
She feels love through the ages
And everything's connected
She finds love in the pages
A joy that's resurrected
The elegance of London
And the sweet Parisian spring
The strangeness of old Tokyo
The beauty of all things
She travels and I tremble
She travels and I tremble

I won't steal your innocence
If that's alright
Won't even steal a kiss
When I spend the night
There's so much more to love
Than making love
And all those things I'm thinking of
Don't need sex benefits
Just your support
Because those benefits
Are just a sport
If you think of me
As the sporting kind
My favorite sports
Are in my mind
Don't wanna be your lover
Just wanna be your friend that's all
Don't wanna be your lover
But I'll take you to the masquerade ball
And we will intertwine
In all the ways that are divine
D-D-Divine
If I could flex
I'd change the world
And give true love
A special whirl
Cause it's the little things
That really count
The little things
Love is about
Don't wanna be your lover
Just wanna be your friend that's all
Don't wanna be your lover
But I'll take you to the masquerade ball
We will intertwine
In all the ways that are divine
D-D-Divine
Love comes in lots of shapes and sizes
Love comes in lots of strange disguises
But the very best love I've found
Is the love that stays around
Don't wanna be your lover
Just wanna be your friend that's all
Don't wanna be your lover
But I'll take you to the masquerade ball
Don't wanna be your lover
Just wanna be your friend that's all
Don't wanna be your lover
But I'll take you to the masquerade ball
We will intertwine
In all the ways that are divine
D-D-Divine

Love In A Perfect Time
03:52
|
|||
I would promise everything
For love in a perfect time
I would give you diamond rings
For love in a perfect time
For love
(Does anybody know the time?)
I would have pure faith in you
For love in a perfect time
Ordinary proof would do
Love in a perfect time
For love
(Does anybody know the time?)
If anybody there has
Love enough to share
I really wish that they'd reveal it
Does anybody know
Where love can truly grow?
I'd really love to go and feel it
(Love in a perfect time, Love in a perfect time)
When all of the magic became something tragic
And truth became something absurd
Look where you hide all your secrets inside
Compare them to what you have learned
Love in perfect time
Love in a perfect time
Love in a perfect time
Love in perfect time

Shake it up is all that we know
Using bodies up as we go
I'm waking up to a fantasy
The colors all around aren't the colors we used to see
Broken ice still melts in the sun
And times that are broken can often be one again
We're soul alone
And soul really matters to me
Take a look around
You're out of touch
I'm out of time
But I'm out of my head when you're not around
You're out of touch
I'm out of time (time)
But I'm out of my head when you're not around
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Reaching out for something to hold
Looking for a love where the climate is cold
Manic moves and drowsy dreams
Or living in the middle between the two extremes
Smoking guns hot to the touch
Would cool down if we didn't use them so much, yeah
We're soul alone
And soul really matters to me
Too much
You're out of touch
I'm out of time
But I'm out of my head when you're not around
You're out of touch
I'm out of time
But I'm out of my head when you're not around
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
You're out of touch
I'm out of time
But I'm out of my head when you're not around
You're out of touch
I'm out of time
But I'm out of my head when you're not around
You're out of touch
Time
But I'm out of my head when you're not around
You're out of touch
I'm out of time
Not around
You're out of touch
I'm out of time

I never said I wasn't gonna tell nobody
No, baby
But this good lovin' I can't keep it to myself
Oh, no
When we're together it's like hot coals in a fire
Hot, baby

Come on, come on
Two of hearts
Two hearts that beat as one
I need you, I need you
Two of hearts
Two hearts that beat as one

People get jealous 'cause we always stay together
Yeah, baby
I guess they really want a love like yours and mine
Together, forever
I never thought that I could ever be this happy
Yeah, baby
My prayers were answered, girl, you came in the nick of time
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa
I've got this feelin' that you're going to stay
I never knew that it could happen this way
Before I met you I was falling apart
But now at last I really know that we are
Two of hearts
Two hearts that beat as one
I need you, I need you
Two of hearts
Two hearts that beat as one
Come on, come on
Two of hearts
Two hearts that beat as one
I need you, I need you
Two of hearts
Two hearts that beat as one
Come on, come on

Oh, no
When we're together it's like hot coals in a fire
Hot, baby
My body's burnin' so come on heed my desire
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa

Two hearts that beat as one

Two of hearts
Come on, come on
Two of hearts
Two hearts that beat as one
I need you, I need you
Two of hearts
Two hearts that beat as one.
C'mon, c'mon....

Lady
02:43
|

Lady is so elegant they say
They know because they made her that way
And though I call her mine
Since before the dawn of time
You know I never had her anyway
Lady is the leader of the corporation
She came down hard on a man
In accordance with the plan to save the nation
Love is indispensable they say
They know because they shaped it that way
If her love was yours
Eight billion brilliant stars
That light the sky to keep us on our way
Lady is the leader of the corporation
She came down hard on a man
In accordance with the plan to save the nation
Lady is the leader of the corporation
She came down hard on a man
In accordance with the plan to save the nation
And in the year of Jubilee
Her gifts are good her gifts are free
She shared her gifts with you and with me
And in the hour when she is near
She holds us close she holds us dear
She keeps us safe from want and fear oh yeah
Lady is the leader of the corporation
She came down hard on the man
In accordance with the plan

This Song Is [REDACTED]

This song is [redacted]
These words are [redacted]
This drama is [redacted]
It's all been reenacted
This dream is [redacted]
This life is [redacted]
This plan is so [redacted]
It's all so overacted
We thought that things were going over well
Till they came with all those things they had to sell.
My love is [redacted]
My heart is [redacted]
I’ve never felt so [redacted]
In a world so manufactured
We thought that things were going oh so well
Till they came with all those things they had to sell.
I bought a boat I bought a plane
I bought their posh vacay to Spain
I was a king I broke my brain oh well
I’m thankful to [redacted]
So grateful for [redacted]
I really miss [redacted]

I was a wretched man boy
I didn't mind my manners
I was a locomotive
running out of time
I played like Casanova
Groping in the darkness
No one taught me etiquette
Or how to toe the line
When you were a princess and I was a bum
I was good for nothing I couldn't even strum
I was alone a long time
I drank a lot of red wine
I bumped against some forces and I rattled someone’s nerves
When I found a true love it was truly unexpected
When I found that true love it was more than I deserved
When you were a princess and I was a bum
I was good for nothing I couldn't make you strum
When I was a just a wormboy wriggling in the flames
I thought I'd live for ever and nothing 'd even change.
I was more like a zombie
And less like a playboy
Everything seemed like a waste
Then one day light shining brightly
Struck me with those brilliant rays
If you prefer to slither
Your conscience might just wither
You might find a forked tongue became so commonplace
If you find a new way
You may emerge and one day
All those vile conditions
Could simply fade away
When she was a monarch
And I was her slave
Her gifts were simply perfect
I met her face to face
Fills my heart with gladness
And finally made me free
Banished all my madness
With love eternally
When you were a goddess
I was just a knave
You were an empress
I was just a slave
You were a geisha
I was just a man
It wasn't just for nothing
But part of someone's plan

brick bosso Los Angeles, California
I've been playing music on keyboards ever since I got turned on to Ragtime music as a kid, thanks to the chart topping single "The Entertainer," by Scott Joplin. I find creating music addictive -- I use virtual and hardware synths, drum machines, production tools and sometimes guitar. Though for truly stellar guitar work I turn to Mark Abbruzzese and Eric Endo. ... more
