Boston Tribute EP

 More Than A Feeling

I looked out this morning and the sun was gone turned on some music to start my day
I lost myself in a familiar song I closed my eyes and I slipped away
It's more than a feeling when I hear that old song they used to play
I begin dreaming until I see Marianne walk away I see my Marianne walking away

So many people have come and gone their faces fade as the years go by
Yet I still recall as I wander on as clear as the sun in the summer sky
It's more than a feeling when I hear that old song they used to play
I begin dreaming until I see Marianne walk away I see my Marianne walking away

When I'm tired and thinking cold I hide in my music, forget the day
And dream of a girl I used to know I closed my eyes and she slipped away
It's more than a feeling when I hear that old song they used to play
I begin dreaming until I see Marianne walk away I see my Marianne walking away

Let Me Take You Home Tonight

Now I'm not like this, I'm really kind of shy
But I get this feeling whenever you walk by
I don't wanna down you, I wanna make you high
If you could see your way to me, come on and let me try
Let me take you home tonight  now it's alright
Let me take you home tonight I'll show you sweet delight

You must understand this, I've watched you for so long
That I feel I've known you, I know it can't be wrong
If we just get together, I want to make you see
I'm dreaming of your sweet love tonight, so let it be
Let me take you home tonight now it's alright
Let me take you home tonight I'll show you sweet delight

I don't wanna make excuses, I don't wanna lie
I just got to get loose with you tonight

I don't wanna down you, I wanna make you high
And I get this feeling whenever you walk by
If we just get together, I wanna make you see
I'm dreaming of your sweet love tonight, so let it be
Let me take you home tonight now it's alright
Let me take you home tonight I'll show you sweet delight

A Man I'll Never Be

If I said what's on my mind you'd turn and walk away disappearing way back in your dreams
It's so hard to be unkind so easy just to say that everything is just the way it seems
You look up at me and somewhere in your mind you see a man I'll never be
If only I could find a way I'd feel like I'm the man you believe I am
And it's getting harder every day for me to hide behind this dream you see a man I'll never be

I can't get any stronger I can't climb any higher you'll never know just how hard I've tried
Cry a little longer and hold a little tighter emotions can't be satisfied
You look up at me and somewhere in your mind you see a man I'll never be
If only I could find a way I'd feel like I'm the man you believe I am
And it gets harder every day for me to hide behind this dream you see a man I'll never be

If I said what's on my mind you'd turn and walk away disappearing way back in your dreams
It's so hard to be unkind so easy just to say that everything is just the way it seems
You look up at me and somewhere in your mind you see a man I'll never be
If only I could find a way I'd feel like I'm the man you believe I am
And it's getting harder every day for me to hide behind this dream you see a man I'll never be

Corporate America

Who can stop de-evolution of the human race?
Look at you, Corporate America, you're in disgrace
Globalize; cigarettes, business jets, you love it
Maximize; but you can take your bottom line and shove it
Gotta get away, but I need a little help tonight
What 'ya gonna say when you never even seen the light
Corporate America, look out, look out
Corporate America, who's gonna save us, who's gonna save us now?

You and I; DVDs, SUVs and cyberspace
Flying blind, virtual reality is in our face
This Earth desecrated by the human race
Now what's it worth when do we evacuate to outer space?
Corporate America, look out, look out
Corporate America, who's gonna save us, who's gonna save us now?

I see the future in the past just took the corner way too fast 
The reckless ride of modern man flattened everything that stands
Fooled by the sales pitch for progress at a dizzy pace
We idolize the filthy rich for giving us synthetic taste
Computer calls, urban sprawl is the world a better place
Fare thee well, global extinction's forever
So what the hell, order your Mercedes in leather
Veal crates, ozone holes, and toxic waste
And don't count out religious hate who can survive this man-made fate?
Gotta get away, and I need a little help tonight
What 'ya gonna say when you couldn't even see the light

Tell Me

I stand on my own and wonder if you've ever been alone
With all the world around you say the word; I'd be there
And like a fool I'd go anywhere just like the day I found you
Tell me what you see tell me you believe in my love
Tell me what you need tell me you believe in my love

I don't understand what to say you take my breath and then you walk away
Your life goes on without me and you can look right at me
But in your eyes it's a mystery what do you feel about me?
Tell me if it's real tell me what you feel in my love
Tell me what you see tell me you believe in my love

Tell me what to give tell me I can live for your love
Tell me not to leave tell me to believe in your love
I don't really know what to say I don't know how but I could learn to pray
If praying makes you hear me I could stay on my own
And wonder if I'd have ever known I just want you near me
Tell me if it's real tell me what you feel in my love
Tell me what you need tell me you believe in my love
Tell what to give tell me how to live for your love
Tell me what you see tell me to believe in your love

Walk On/Walk On Some More

Take a look around and tell me what you see
I guess that all depend on exactly what you want it to be
Is your cup half-full is your cup half-empty?
How can you get what you need in the land of plenty?
Everybody gets carried away everybody's trying everyday to remind you
Leave it behind you what's it take to see what's it take to believe right from wrong?
Never knowing where you belong walk on walk on

Sometimes I feel like I'm just doing time
Everybody wonders where you're going when you step out of line
Don't know all the answers, someone's got to stand up and say "Hey!"
If you want to win the game then you know you're gonna have to play
Everybody's got to find a way and everybody's trying everyday to remind you
What's standing behind you what's it take to see
What's it take to believe right from wrong never knowing where you belong
Walk on walk on there's no turning back walk on get your train on the track

Take a look around tell me what you can see
I guess that all depends on exactly what you want it to be
Don't know all the answers everybody's running away, hey
If you want to win the game then you know it's a shame not to play
Everybody get carried away and everybody's got something to say to remind you
Keep looking behind you it's never easy to see what it takes to believe right from wrong
Never going back where I've gone walk on walk on
Alright, we're not gonna turn back now walk on walk on just walk on
