Another 4th of July

My country, ‘tis of thee 
Sweet land of liberty 
Old lady with your lamp 
Hold it close, chase away the damp 
Shadows linger, then they fade 
Tonight, there’ll be no serenade 
ANOTHER 4TH OF JULY 
And the rockets’ red glare 
Brings a chill to the air 

My country under siege 
Looters grab what they can seize 
Vandals trash what’s left behind 
Fear and hatred intertwined 
Afraid to walk the streets alone 
Huddle we inside our homes 
ANOTHER 4TH OF JULY 
Bolt the doors tight
And leave on the lights 

My country, right or wrong 
Drum and fife sound the song 
Mindless patriotic pride 
Hastens now your downward slide 
Golden child who can do no ill
Your manifest destinies all fulfilled
ANOTHER 4TH OF JULY
And still we deny
The beam in our eye
  
My country, you and me
Growing old less than gracefully 
All our sins come home to roost 
All our demons long since loosed
So, carry on in our selfish ways
Forsake tomorrow, enjoy today
ANOTHER 4TH OF JULY 
And the rocket's red glare
Brings a chill to the air

Never Written a Love Song

Never Written a Love Song

I’m too old for this 
I kept thinking to myself 
These feelings long put up 
On some dusty closet shelf 
My heart’s more pragmatic now 
I’ve gotta use my head 
The world’s gonna pass me by 
I’ve gotta get ahead 

But there you were that day 
And little did l know 
That soon I’d find myself 
With my best laid plans laid low 
Now the world spins upside down 
Or is it right side up 
It’s getting hard to tell 
But it doesn't matter much 

CHORUS: 
I’VE NEVER WRITTEN A LOVE SONG 
Though I’ve tried a time or two 
Guess I never was inspired 
Then I met you 
Now the words are pouring from me 
I’ve finally found my muse 
For others it may be no big deal 
But for me it sure is news 

I’ve played the game before 
But it never turned out right 
I learned to turn away 
When I felt the bug might bite 
You can give it all you've got 
And still it comes out wrong 
I’d long since given up 
But then you came along 

CHORUS (solo) 

Mirror, mirror on the wall 
Tell me who’s that man I see 
It’s kind of funny 
‘Cause he looks a lot like me 
He’s got all my features 
But the smile looks out of place 
But don't take me wrong 
I’ll get use to his face 

CHORUS

Anastasia

ANASTASIA lets her hair down 
As she falls into my arms 
She allows me the conceit 
That she’s a victim of my charms 
But her being here tonight 
Is not of my design 
ANASTASIA writes the scripts 
I merely say my lines 

ANASTASIA laughs a little 
As she whispers in my ear 
The things that she tells me 
I alone to hear 
She says that I’m her lover 
She says that I’m her friend 
But she mostly speaks of visions 
I do not comprehend 

CHORUS: 
ANASTASIA keeps her secrets 
There's so much that I don't know 
I only catch a glimmer 
Only what she shows 
Mystery upon mystery 
She's a riddle I can't solve 
When I think I see her clearly 
The image then dissolves 

ANASTASIA lights a candle 
Then she lies across my bed 
She gazes at the shadows 
Dancing overhead 
When I start to say I love her 
She wrinkles up her nose 
But then ANASTASIA smiles 
And tells me that she knows 
  
ANASTASIA sleeps beside me 
Our bodies intertwine 
The room smells of incense 
Love-making and wine 
I watch her as she slumbers 
I listen to her breathe 
Her soul no longer troubled 
By thoughts to me bequeathed 

CHORUS 

ANASTASIA, in the morning 
Rises with the dawn 
When I wake and look around me 
I find that she is gone

Arizona Skies

Once I lived in Hollywood 
Near Hollywood and Vine 
Rubbed shoulders with a star or two 
Watched them as they'd shine 
But all the tinsel glory 
That sparkled ‘fore my eyes 
Never once took the place 
Of those ARIZONA SKIES 

CHORUS: 
And I can’t help but remember 
The skies in Arizona 
On those warm, peaceful 
Arid summer nights 
I wander through this life 
And I marvel at the sights 
But I never seem to find 
ARIZONA SKIES  

I’ve also been to Ireland 
That jewel cast in the sea 
Coal black eyes and lullabies 
And heather on the lea 
But all the verdant beauty 
That softly hypnotized 
Never dimmed the memory 
Of those ARIZONA SKIES 

CHORUS 

I’ve even lived in Tokyo 
In a house down by the bay 
If things had worked out differently 
I might still be there today 
But all the viral energy 
That use to tantalize 
Never touched me deep inside 
Like those ARIZONA SKIES 
  
CHORUS (solo) 

Dusty roads and pavement black 
Leading on, never turning back 
Chasing my elusive destiny 
London, Paris, Amsterdam 
Moscow, Prague, who gives a damn 
I've been everywhere 
but where I long to be 

Made my way back homeward 
Not so long ago 
Your mother said you had wed 
I said I hadn't known 
So, I drove up to the foothills 
To our secret paradise 
And I thought about the two of us 
‘neath those ARIZONA SKIES 

CHORUS

Sexual Creature

Met her at a party 
The friend of a friend 
My world turned upside down 
When she walked in 
She wasn't really beautiful 
It wasn't her perfume 
But all eyes were on her 
As she moved across the room 

CHORUS: 
She’s a SEXUAL CREATURE 
It's obvious when you meet her 
She's a woman who loves making love 
Don't start jumping to conclusions 
Let me clear up any confusion 
She's just a woman who loves making love 

She started walking towards me 
She held me in her gaze 
More than captivated 
I was trapped in a haze 
My heart was beating faster 
My loins began to stir 
My mind started racing 
The room became a blur 

CHORUS 

Samson had Delilah 
Louis had Pompadour 
History books called it love 
But that’s not the score 
It wasn’t Helen's beauty 
That launched all those ships 
Menelaus went to get her 
With these words on his lips 

CHORUS 

I may not be Samson 
I may not be a king 
As far as waging war 
I don’t know a thing 
But when it comes to instinct 
I'm not deaf or blind 
Especially when confronted 
With something this divine 

You probably want an ending 
To know how it went 
But my mama taught me 
Not to kiss and comment 

CHORUS
