Every Morning (free) 03:30
I wake up to white lights flashing outside so bright, Street cars crashing outside-I guess that means its time, Just like the birds would sing, or my alarm would ring, A little harsh at first-that makes my dream clouds burst Every Morning comes without warning Anticipating and commiserating I'm stuck in midtown with this place on lock down and I'd rather be there with something to share with you And every day is the same thing that sounds from the attic, and the bangs from the track and the shots are sporadic. What's all the static, and Graham is automatic for most and Dub is the host at Magazine and Calliope The Sun's been up too long, outside I hear a song Of engines screams and shouts Are what this place is about, Smells in the air are thin, they seep into my skin, And if the lights are kind, I'll get to work this time Every Morning comes without warning Anticipating and commiserating I'm stuck in midtown with this place on lock down and I'd rather be there with something to share with you.

Somebody 04:22
Somebody out there's got to be the one A driver or a pilot might be kinda fun A banker or a lawyer would suffice I hear this time of year that they can be quite nice She doesn't want to be alone, by the time she's fully grown She won't be left alone, better to let it go 'cause She doesn't care who you are as long as you're Somebody to Love And if you've got a pretty ring and a flashy car then you could be Somebody to Love There's always guys who wear a uniform I've never been much into officers of reform A fireman or the delivery guy? Would it be worth giving them a try? She doesn't want to be alone, by the time she's fully grown She won't be left alone, better to let it go cause She doesn't care who you are as long as you're Somebody to Love And if you've got a pretty ring and a flashy car then you could be Somebody to Love Race and location is all relative as long as you've got something you can give to me 20-55 would be ideal And there's still days of time for us to kill She doesn't want to be alone, by the time she's fully grown She won't be left alone, better to let it go cause She doesn't care who you are as long as you're Somebody to Love And if you've got a pretty ring and a flashy car then you could be Somebody to Love She doesn't care who you are as long as you're Somebody to Love And if you've got a pretty ring and a flashy car then you could be Somebody to Love.

Wake Up Alone (free) 03:10
My baby love me and if we keep it up There's a body lyin' next to me when I get up I don't wanna wake up alone I don't wanna wake up alone When my baby leave me its only for a night I don't need him but it just feels so nice I don't wanna wake up alone I don't wanna wake up alone I gotta bed that's fit for a queen, like me You can take it away any day, there's no way it was made for just me I don't wanna wake up alone I don't wanna wake up alone I'm so, so tired of being alone How could you leave me here all alone.

"I thought that you were pretending, when you said that it was ending O they say "Oh no", My girls give me consultation, when I let all my frustration show They say "Oh no", but Don't look now she's coming down the ally with the guy that left you high and dry Don't look now cause I can see it in your eyes I think its time to get out now I see that you're moving fast but it probably will not last I know, 'Cause I've seen that girl before and she's not what you're looking for I'm sure, but they tell me... Don't look now she's coming down the ally with the guy that left you high and dry Don't look now cause I can see it in your eyes I think its time to get out now Plastic and a little thin, but too big for the clothes that she lives in, I can see Even in a big white dress its up to you to make that mess not me Don't look now she's coming down the ally with the guy that left you high and dry Don't look now cause I can see it in your eyes I think its time to get out now I think its time to get out I know its time to get out now."

Sink or Swim (free) 03:44
"Do your talkin' and quit playin' games You keep on walkin' 'cause its not the same anymore And when you go out straight through the door Don't turn around now, I don't wanna see you no more. I thought I would not mind it, I was misguided And so I tried it and I decided That I don't want to be your baby (no) I'm not that kinda lady (no) The waters gettin' thin so its time to Sink or Swim You ain't got no money and can't take me out I'm no one's honey that can't get around and about You're always out at that bar down the street Makin' people think that you're the one that they oughta meet I thought I would not mind it, I was misguided And so I tried it, and I decided That I don't want to be your baby (no) I'm not that kinda lady (no) The waters gettin' thin so its time to Sink or Swim I'm not fakin' this, you're not breakin' this heart of mine, And I know you're doin' it all of the time I've got no transportation since you've got no ride Instead of confrontation you'd rather run and go hide I could get further walking around Then hanging out with you lookin' just like a clown I don't want to be your baby (no) I'm not that kinda lady (no) The waters gettin thin so its time to Sink or Swim. You know what's kinda crazy? You were always shady."

I took back that watch you gave me The diamond necklace had to move I threw out that golden bracelet Don't want nothing to remind me much of you There were a few times when you left your shirt at my house I never knew if you did it on purpose but with that scent I would leave your things about Since times are changed I guess things are different Can't take your things hanging at my place Every time I take an inhale it reminds me of you, I see your face. So I took back that watch you gave me The diamond necklace had to move I threw out that golden bracelet Don't want nothing that reminds me much of you I've always been bad at giving my things away This move came a little too easy- I put your things up on Ebay At least I can get something out of the time we spent together Its not much, but it keeps me from singing the blues of Stormy Weather So I took back that watch you gave me The diamond necklace had to move I threw out that golden bracelet Don't want nothing that reminds me much of you I may eventually regret my decision For doing away with the things I was given But with or without someone else I can always get things for myself So I took back that watch you gave me The diamond necklace had to move I threw out that golden bracelet Don't want nothing that reminds me much of you.

Take it when you want to And get it while you can Im starting to catch on you need another plan Im slowly picking up what you are putting down I know when you will call without having to hear a sound I'm indispensable to you You don't know what you put me through I'm indispensable to you until Im out of here Living in the city You see how long it lasts Not much appreciation, moneys burning fast We were gonna make it, I was coming here for you You're mostly busy, we've got nothing left to do

Don't remember what was said last night I thought we talked everything out right Just in case we needed documentation I opened Word and wrote the proclamations And now your cartridge is slowly sinking Can't recall what I was thinking Did you ever think of leaving my mind Ever notice how the back up fails? Think we're making progress when we're moving like snails But if you've got the money, Then I've got the time To sit down and make words rhyme And words keep falling through my head They keep falling through my head Don't stop falling through my head Doesn't matter what was said last night We got all the time to make things right Even when we drift and start to malfunction We eventually live in conjunction Until You're cartridge starts slowly sinking Can't recall what I was thinking Did you ever think of leaving my mind?

Days were spent in mellow since you came into my life just because you play the loudest doesn't make you right Walking in the rain Is pouring lucky dog cart out Somehow all these faces keep on wandering about Stuck in the same place again Waiting on a friend And we got to get out Don't stop-Keep on running in the night All night long you all stay sipping on your ticket home Your daddy's ego tripping I need a band to call my own. When we leave the stars are shining, where did my day go? Wasted once again at another rock n roll show Stuck in the same place again Waiting on a friend And we got to get out Don't stop-Keep on running in the night I know just what you're thinking, your grin doesn't sell me The words you use got me thinking, you got whats coming to you You don't know what I'm thinking, you're just like cellophane There's no charm to be taken when you can't remember my name Stuck in the same place again Waiting on a friend And we got to get out Don't stop-Keep on running in the night

"It's been a long night Don't know how it got started We took a trip and that's when my heart departed I been moved around more that I can handle I don't want to be misplaced and replaced When there's one place I want to go Where the sky is blue and it shines through my window I can see what's coming, I thought you knew I'm Going Home Hands all around me Pulling in different directions But where they take me always fails to get mentioned I used to like the feel Of catching all the action But when you look twice it's not quite as nice When there's one place I want to go Where the sky is blue and it shines through my window I can see what's coming, I thought you knew I'm Going Home I'm Going Home."
