Cool Paradise

Well I had a little talk with my Baby
I made it sugar coated ice
I said “Love
Sure is nice
So sweet when you taste it
You waste it it’s true
Keep it cool in a
Cool paradise”
You’re nothing if you ain’t cool

Well she had a couple questions
So I met her after school
I said, “Love
Sure is cruel
But when your love light is shining
A ring ‘round the moon
Keep it cool in a
Cool paradise”
You’re nothing if you ain’t cool

Well we were walking by the river
When she took me by the hand
She said, “Love
I think I understand
When your beehive is buzzing
It’s hot and it’s June
Keep it cool in a
Cool paradise”
Got to be cool...

East is East
And West is West
The name of this game
Is how to love you best
That’s by being cool
In a cool paradise

So when you talk with your baby
Make it sugar coated ice
Tell her “Love
It’ll burn you more than twice
Desire’s the fire
Without water you’re through
Gotta keep it cool
In a cool paradise
Good advice
Cool
In a cool paradise

Lip Service

Pacific Highway 1 it’s a slow motion drive
Take a tough man ten years a pretty woman five
It ain’t no destination just a place where you arrive
Coast to coast they call it the most they just love that left coast jive
You get ‘em on the phone it’s a done deal
Look ‘em in the eye, ouch!
Lip service
Makes me nervous
Lip service
Like a bad romance
Makes me nervous
Lip lip service

Your big Cadillac it ain’t nothing but a ride
Your big house on the hill just another place to hide
Your hundred dollar bill don’t even cover lunch
You call a heart attack a thrill you call a sure thing a hunch
You get ‘em on the phone it’s a done deal
Look ‘em in the eye, ouch!
Lip service
Makes me nervous
Lip service
Like a bad romance
Makes me nervous
Lip lip service

She Steps Into a Dream

An ordinary day in an ordinary town
Nothing is out of place except she’s leaving (she’s leaving)
Hat in hand down at the taxi stand
She was right, she was wrong
Now she’s definitely gone
(Magic)
She steps into a dream

A little later on he finally finds the note
Nothing is out of place except she’s gone now (she’s gone now)
Head in hand he doesn’t understand
Was he right was he wrong well she’s definitely gone
(Magic)

Just take a look at all the people that were passing
The current carries them it carries on so strong
It’s hard to separate the dreaming from the dreamer
This dream has carried on so long
She steps into a dream...

The credits roll she thinks she gets the story
Nothing about the plot reveals the meaning of dreaming
The ending wasn’t sad why does she feel so sad
Was it lies was it truth or just another ticket at the booth
She steps into a dream...

The late night show it’s laughing in the corner
A flickering light reveals the heartbreak (the heartbreak)
He took it on the chin she gave it back to him
She was here she was gone just another top forty song
She steps into a dream...

So Long

Raindrops run to rivers
Rivers run to sea
Sea turns into thunder
Brings those raindrops back to me
Love is like those raindrops
Gentle and so strong
It can save me when I’m thirsty
I’ve been thirsty oh so long
I’m not lost if you can find me
You can’t find me till I’m gone
I’ve been thirsty oh so long

Man cries into darkness
Darkness has no ears
But that’s just where the wind begins
And the wind will blow for years
It’s the wind that carves the canyon
The wind that brings the rain
Listen to the wind tonight
The wind will call your name
I man cries into darkness
Darkness has no ears
Listen to the wind tonight
It’s coming across the years

There’s a man waiting by the ocean
For the ship that won’t come in
The tide is rolling steady
The chance is getting thin
Across the dark horizon
He thinks he sees a mast
But the ship just keeps on sailing
And the hope is fading fast
I’m not lost if you can find me
You can’t find me until I’m gone
A man will call your name tonight
He’s been calling oh so long

Searching For a Girl Like You

I’m searching I’m going out of mind
I’m kind of desperate trying to find
Someone special
Searching for a girl like you

Time is passing
I feel myself getting old
But like a man who’s drowning
I need something I can hold
Something special
Searching for a girl like you

And every day when the sun is going down
Find me searching in another part of town
It’s getting cold out
I gotta hold out
Folks say I shouldn’t care
I know you’ll be right there

Why am I living
That’s what other people ask
But I’m a man who’s driven
And baby you’re my task
You’re something special
Searching for a girl like you

Gonna find you too

It’s gonna happen
Just like everything that’s good
Unexpected
Just when I though it never could
You’re something special
I’m searching for a girl like
You babe...
