AND... (Drummond) But if you can want love You can hide All the memories inside And It won't take more Than you can give Just to find a way to live And As soon as you Can look around There's a new love to be found
SOMEWHERE I'VE NEVER TRAVELLED (Pack - Puerta) Somewhere I've never travelled That's where I've been today Somewhere beyond all reason But it became the only way I could find it Something inside of me I can find it Someplace I've always dreamed of That's what I finally see And when I'm there I feel love So there I always want to be I believe it Believe in myself I have seen it And there's a day when you'll wake With the sun in your eyes Hearing a voice that is calling Within you to rise (Rise...) Someday I'll be there Though I know not Where I go There I'll be When I go Somewhere I'd never travelled That's where it all began And as my dreams unravel I long to go that way again I am waiting Waiting to take you there No more waiting (Off you go...)
COWBOY STAR (Puerta - Pack - North - Drummond) Of man's progress I don't give a hoot And man's estrangements Of nature's arrangements Has given cause for my heartbreak To boot The simple life though Filled with strife And struggle with the land Still remained its simple self And that I understand So city smog and dog eat dog For some may hold sublime Well as for me If I had my way I'd had lived Some other time Praise the prairie And pass the cake I'd like to eat it too But being born now was my mistake I've passed the buckaroo I'd say You're right No chance Why fight? Why be A cowboy star (But) Hump back brahmas Lovely cow mamas Saw dust floor saloons Dance hall queens Romanced in my dreams So why pop my baloon? No chance Why fight? Still in my own right I'd be A cowboy star Dreams of my life Are so carried away If just in my dreams I could Be for one day Just for one day Lost in my dreams I'll be riding away like a cowboy star Stage set: Sundown, In my last Showdown I'll be....
RUNNIN' AWAY (Pack) Think of the summer when I held you here Everything was right All the years we spent in love Just to end one night A lot of things are closin' in on me She's gone and I'm in misery There's no place that I can really be Out into my own So I'm runnin' away I have got to be alone I'm runnin' away It makes no sense at all Think of the summers when I held you here All the dreams we'd planned Afternoons we spent alone I can't understand A lot of things are closin' in on me She's gone and I'm in misery There's no place that I can really be Out into my own So I'm runnin' away I have got to be alone I'm runnin' away It makes no sense at all All I really want to know What it is that makes love grow Still inside me it remains I never spend a day Without wondering how I'll make it Alone... So I'm runnin' away I have got to be alone I'm runnin' away It makes no sense at all So I'm runnin' away I have got to be alone I'm runnin' away It makes no sense at all So I'm runnin' away I have got to be alone I'm runnin' away It makes no sense at all
HARVEY (Puerta) All This time All This worry All This way to go For nothin' What's the sense Of the hurry You tell me If you Sense somethin' I dreamed a lot when I was younger I'm older now and still I hunger For some understanding There's no understanding, now Was there ever? One thin line Draws the border Between madness And the genius But no pen can erase it So we keep these things Between us I dreamed a lot when I was younger I'm older now and still I hunger For some understanding There's no understanding, now Was there ever? 'And my front brain would not accept my thinker See? No kiddin'
I WANNA KNOW (Puerta - Pack) Sometimes I feel That we've been herded like sheep We've been led out like lambs to the slaughter And empty souls Have kept the downtrodden down And took the best and left us the fodder Still in my heart I feel such purpose A reason for being alive And I want to know, I want to know Sometimes it seems There was meant to be more Than this rush and this battle to living And there's the times We've all tasted the space That you know when we feel that we're giving So take some time to think about this I'm blinded now, I'd like to see And I want to know, I want to know I want to see through all the barriers That were created before I was born Were they put out there just to guide me Or keep the weak from becoming strong I want to know, I want to know Still in my heart I feel such purpose A reason for being alive And I want to know Sometimes I fear That all men are asleep Must we shout to awake those that slumber?
THE BRUNT (Pack - Puerta - North - Drummond) Leaping quick on leopard's back I face the brunt of his attack In the land of nod I'm king Until the alarm clock rings Stepping out from safety's door I hear the rushing traffic roar Smiling to myself I say, "...Hooray its a brand new day" Slashing my way through vine I'll kill if I have to I'll be there on time Clawed through the freeway jam I curse at the guy who passed me Last time 'round In my office settled back Drink a cup of coffee (black) Stretch my mind and try'n erase The thought of the day to face Life is like the leopard's den And once you find you've fallen in A safari of the heart Surely comes to an end Madness is our damnation Strange is the situation we're all in To one man it matters nothing Others it shatters something; no one wins I could not see it myself (Though I'd read about it) I could not hear it myself (Though I'd heard about it) I could not feel it myself (Though I knew that it was real) I could not hear it myself (Don't you lie about it) I could not feel it myself (But don't you cry about it) For there's an animal in us all The brunt of which you'll see
DANSE WITH ME GEORGE (CHOPIN'S PLEA) (Pack - Puerta - North - Drummond) Until I met you baby I only played with the band But when I play my polonaise now On my piano grand I can't help but thinkin' Of our first one night stand When my precious hands were tinkling On my little Georgie Sand Come on and danse with me George The pants you're wearing mama And the cigar in your hand Sorta put me off at first I didn't understand But now I love my vichy mama I adore you and I wouldn't ever leave you baby For another man Come on and danse with me George You know your lips can spout quotations But when your hips start their gyrations They can thaw Valley Forge Danse with me George The memoirs of a mademoiselle Far ahead of her time Has left us all a legend That's never gonna die To say your ways were novel Would be a lousy pun But of late I've been feelig awful I want to have me some fun So come on Put your pen aside baby Come on Your lips are driving me crazy We could talk this out I'm sure If you would just shut your mouth So come on, So come on, da, da, da Danse with me george Well your lips can spout quotations (Waltzin', minuet, mazurka) But when your hips start their gyrations (Doin' it 'till we're beserka) They could thaw Valley Forge Danse with me George LE DANSE The legend that you leave us Is never gonna die.....
CAN'T LET A WOMAN (Pack) Where do you think you're goin'? Dressin' like some evening tramp? What do you think you're doin'? Well, you got them talkin' behind my back It must be something I can't relate It's enough to drive a man from his mind So get back home before it's too late How could you up and just walk out of my life? I can't let a woman like you get to my head I can't let a woman like you get to my head What do you think you're doin' ? Well I told you not to leave anymore Where do you think you're going? Come on, get your fingers off of that door It must be something I can't relate It's enough to drive a man from his mind So get back home before it's too late How could you up and just walk out of my life? I can't let a woman like you get to my head I can't let a woman like you get to my head I've waited all my life For someone like you Waited all my life Is there something that I could do... I can't let a woman like you get to my head I can't let a woman like you get to my head Goo, goo goo goo goo.
WE NEED YOU TOO (Puerta - Pack) Nothing's complete Before every chain is linked And your mind wasn't meant To be sold out in the street You are wearing a disguise It reveals you when you cry Does it hurt you when you try? Can I help you? Could I reach you? Tell me now because We need you too Don't let worries be Oh your walls against your being You can climb them What's beyond is surely worth your seeing You are wearing a disguise It reveals you when you cry Does it hurt you when you try? Can I help you? Could I reach you? Tell me now because We need you too
