Need A Lover

By: Christopher

Well I’m broke down outta, luck sittin’ in a pickup truck

Rainin’ all alone, quarter for the telephone

Full moon too soon, better get a room

She’s upstairs, red hair, with flowers on her underwear

I get so tired of always being’ alone

Making love on the telephone

I need a lover really, really bad

Baby are you really bad

Now I’m racin’ chasin’ got charges I’m facin’

No fun, no gun, things I shoulda never done

This town that town, everyday I run around

I’m tired, I’m wired, I didn’t get hired

I get so tired of always being’ alone

Making love on the telephone

I need a lover really, really bad

Baby are you really bad

Mama I wanna be bad with you I wanna push my love

Baby I wanna get bad with you I wanna push my love

Mama I wanna be bad with you I wanna push my love

I wanna push it, push it, push…

Now baby, baby do ya think maybe, we could, we should

Do you think we ever would

Shack up, settle down, stop all the run around

Carry me, marry me, use me up and bury me

I get so tired of always being’ alone

Making love on the telephone

I need a lover really, really bad

Baby are you really bad? (repeat)

Mama I wanna be bad with you I wanna push my love

Baby I wanna be bad with you I wanna push my love

Push it, push it, push.

Drag Me Down Low

By: Vento,McCullough

I prayed to gods in the heavens above

To rescue me from the grip of your love

You drag me down low

You took my soul

Then turned to stone

Now it’s time for me to go

The sun is shining but you’re bringing me rain

The bluebirds singing but you’re screaming in pain

You drag me down low

You took my name

Then played the game

Now it’s time for me to go

You stole my treasure

Like a pirate on the sea

You’re a natural disaster

But you won’t destroy me

Been trapped in your quick sand

Way too deep

I’ve been gathering strength man

Now you’re gonna set me free

I’ve seen deception

With no redemption

Ain’t no exception

All the hell you’ve brought to me

You drag me down low

I gave you love

You took my soul

Now it’s time for me to go

You stole my treasure

Like a pirate on the sea

You’re a natural disaster

But you won’t destroy me

Been trapped in your quick sand

Way too deep

I’ve been gathering strength man

Now you’re gonna set me free

Hit by a freight train in the tunnel of love

You drag me down low

You took my soul

Then turned to stone

Now it’s time for me to go

I gave you love

You took my soul

Now it’s time for me to go

You drag me down low

You drag me down low!

Everything Will Be Alright

By: Vento,Cody,Oblinger,Hadley,Beitle

I stood in the doorway

On the edge of yesterday

Reflections of my soul

Shape the man i am today

When the new day rises

Against the shotgun rain

They’ll be two trains a rollin’

But only one that goes my way

And the time has come

To put my trust in fate

On the northwind track

I hear the whistle blow

I hear the son’s of fathers

And i look across the sky

Where wisdom is the wind

And the shining light my guide

Time will come to pass

And these wounds shall heal

I tell myself

Everything will be alright

Every step i take

Seems to take my breath away

A gift upon each moment

Helps me cherish every day

Eagles from this land

Taught me how to pray

I watch the river run

Because it knows the way

With nothin’ but my faith

I’ll be right where i belong

When my strength comes back

Our friendship will be strong

I hear the son’s of fathers

And i look across the sky

Where wisdom is the wind

And the shining light my guide

Time will come to pass

And these wounds shall heal

I tell myself

Everything will be alright

Now let me hear

A choir of promise
a choir of hope and faith
for those who feel so helpless

all those that’ love em’

Majestically singing

Sing out loud

Everything will be alright

And the time has come

To put my trust in fate
on the northwind track
i hear the whistle blow

I hear the son’s of fathers

And i look across the sky

Where wisdom is the wind

And shining light my guide

Time will come to pass

And these wounds shall heal

I tell myself

Everything will be alright

I hear the son’s of fathers

And i look across the sky

Where wisdom is the wind

And shining light my guide

Time will come to pass

And these wounds shall heal

I tell myself

Everything will be alright

Frankie’s Ghost

By: Vento, Delu

Frankie was my hero

So strong and brave

All the kids looked up to him

We all felt safe

When he was around

But Frankie always seemed to love

Hangin’ out on the dark side of town

We were kids on the street

Baptized by fire

Life is a circus

Dancin’ on a high wire

Everything dies I guess that’s true

But you’re never prepared until it happens to you

Memories of innocence

Days when the dawn never came

Youth filled with promises

Frankie was king of our gang

I walk through this wasteland

Across a river filled with blood

Ashes of destruction mixed with holy water

Oh makes mud

Shuttered and deserted

This place I once called home

Only Frankie’s ghost remains

Staring out the window

Hopeful for tomorrow

But it all went up in smoke

When paradise was cheap

And so was the dope

Memories of innocence

Days when the dawn never came

Youth filled with promises

Frankie was king of our gang

We’re Just Fine

By: Vento, Hall, Hadley

You’ve been through some bad stuff baby

But you worked it all out

You’re headin’ for some good times baby

And there aint’ no doubt

Now a brand new day, brings a brand new light

Throw that shit in the sea, leave it all behind

Unlock the love in your heart, just let it shine

Sing it out to the world, that you’re just fine

You’re just fine

Most people said that we weren’t gonna make it

But we proved em’ all wrong

They hit us hard, and then they tried to break us

But our love was way too strong

It was lookin’ bad in the eye of the storm

Winds of power and might meant to do you harm

Through the love of great friends we stood arm and arm

Sing out to the world you’re just fine

You’re just fine

I know there’s nights when you feel so alone

We live two separate lives

But remember those nights when we were hand and hand

I’ll always be by your side, baby I’m your man

I’ll never let ya down, gonna take a stand

Sing out to the world, that we’re just fine

We’re just fine.

Widow Sheila

By: Vento,Delu

Well let me tell ya bout a widow named Sheila Ledonne

She was meaner than a rat trapped down in a tenement hall

She had long lean legs and stood about six feet tall

Sheila lived next door in our trailer park

And like a killer dog her bite was worse than her bark

But she loved to sneak me over as soon as it got dark

Oh the times were hard then

Out of work dad barely survived

Said my prayers at bedtime

But with the help of Widow Sheila I learned how to rock all night

Well Sheila’s man was found about a quarter to twelve

Had a bullet through his heart behind a cheap motel

Then the cops came by to haul her off to jail

Sheila came into the courtroom

A jury of peers would bring her down

Everyone knew she was guilty

But she was set free by handsome old Judge Brown

Flashin diamonds and gold in a brand new Armani gown

She left her trailer behind for the nicer side of town

Ya, late one night I snuck over but she was in bed with old Judge Brown

So many years gone by but I still think of that girl

I was only sixteen but she gave me such a thrill

Poor Judge Brown , that’s right , he got killed

But that Widow Sheila lived on to rock some more

California Dance

By : Vento,Oblinger,Cody,Hadley,Beitle

Two all alone after 20 years

Kids were all grown we no longer cared

Love was gone without a sound

I packed it all in and I blew town

So I left Detroit on a one way jet

Cruise the California coast in my ragtop vett

Taste the sunshine all the way

I never looked back life began that day

Now I sway to the groove of my California dance

Palm trees, warm breeze, life’s second chance

I’m livin my dream

I followed my heart

I feel like a man

As I sway to the groove of my California dance

My California dance

Sand in my toes

Wind through my hair

Frozen margarita’s on an old bamboo chair

No clocks to punch

No 9-5

Here in my California paradise

Watch the waves roll in

Neath the clear blue sky

Wash away my sins

As the ships sail by

Left the world behind and fly so high

Makin love it’s a dreamscicle ride

Now I sway to the groove of my California dance

Palm trees, warm breeze, life’s second chance

I’m livin my dream

I followed my heart

I feel like a man

As I sway to the groove of my California dance

Tequilla

On the beach in the sun

Senioritas

Days and nights filled with fun

Lovely senioritas beneath the moonlight

A California dance on a California night

Nothing in my world ever felt so right

That’s my California dance

Now I sway to the groove of my California dance

Palm trees, warm breeze, life’s second chance

I’m livin my dream, I followed my heart

I feel like a man

As I sway to the groove of my California dance
