1.Wildlife
Noises and whispers
Make me shiver inside
Slithering creatures
In the dead of the night
Here in the jungle
It's a frantic night out
The quiet is broken
By crickets and owls
In our khaki and green
We blend in well
Our purpose unseen
Getting harder to tell
Wildlife...
Old lion's resting
Tigers look on
Commandos make ready
To building new homes
Conviction and power
Will win over fear
So voodoos are broken
And pulpits appear
In our khaki and green
We blend in well
Our purpose unseen
Getting harder to tell
Wildlife...
Taxis are waiting
Lined up in a row
To speed me through dangers
To some place I know
Back in the city
It's business again
The hunting is different
The hunter the same.
In our khaki and green
We blend in well
Our purpose unseen
Getting harder to tell
Wildlife...
2.Parisienne
Now it all lies in your hands
We've said all there is to say
The fire is going down
And the horse is miles away
Parisienne
When that thunder rolls
It triggers off a mood within
It's the nomad in my soul
And I just can't hold it in
Parisienne
Parisienne
Restless you
Listening and learning
Reckless you
Constantly yearning
Restless you
Parisienne
I feel a thunder in my heart
And it's calling me away
But this in no tragic scene
From some Shakespeare play
Parisienne
Look, no halo round my head
I'm innocent with you
Let there be no sad farewell
No tearful bel adieu
Parisienne
Restless you
Listening and learning
Reckless you
Constantly yearning
Restless you
Parisienne.
3.Gone To Pablo
The maid came to her room Wednesday morning
Found a pistol lying by her side
For thirteen years she kept her fires burning
Lost in pictures, no place left to hide
Jaqueline's gone to Pablo
Jaqueline's gone to Pablo
Alone too long, the night became her lover
She knew that he'd been waiting all this time
With dreams and magic pictures to uncover
Now that all that earthly sadness was behind
Jaqueline's gone to Pablo
Jaqueline's gone to Pablo
People go to galleries in Europe
To wonder and to feel Picasso's soul
Jaqueline's gone to Pablo
Jaqueline's gone to Pablo
Jaqueline's gone to Pablo
Jaqueline's gone to Pablo.
4.Second Skin
We looked good on the face of things
We spent our days like broken strings
Looking at aeroplanes, talking wings
Disconnected
We came together like a hurricane
Started rivers running through my veins
Dressed in love, I feel no pain
So connected
The light is changing, the night begins
She whispers softly into the listening wind
Who comes to rescue all my faded dreams within
When will I ever find my second skin
We need no trappings, no nightgowns
We're living undercover in town
We're out of touch with the people around
So connected
We came together like a hurricane
Started rivers running through my veins
Dressed in love, I feel no pain
So connected
The light is changing, the night begins
She whispers softly into the listening wind
Who comes to rescue all my faded dreams within
When will I ever find my second skin ..
5.Rodrigo Is Home
Chile was worlds away
But you could see it in his eyes
Growing up in the USA
Longing for Santiago
Rodrigo wanted to be
Where the action might be
Careful Rodrigo, they said
Don't worry, what could happen to me
Chile grew dim in the mind of an American man
The voice inside the child cried return
Rodrigo is home
Soldiers hunt in packs
And cut down little children
In the city of deadly silence
And sickening screams
One young Chilean soldier
Smiles to his friends
And douses Rodrigo's body in gasoline
Chile grew dim in the mind of an American man
The voice inside the child cried return
Rodrigo is home ....
6.Te Adoro
7.It's A Passion
He is standing by the ocean
Happy as can be
Aimless in the city
Wild and angry
Watching every gesture
Remembering every move
He captures his own pictures
To sing about for you
Don't ask me for a reason
Don't ask me what it means
It's a passion to me
It's a passion to me
He tells stories on cold evenings
Simple struggling lives
Lovers flying to the moon
Children searching for some dream
Lovers private feuds
Different points of views
It's a passion to me
It's a passion
It's a passion
It's a passion.
8.Little Boy
The ice is breaking at last on the water
I'm so taken with it all by the lakeside
Still that burning's inside
Like a little boy
Little boy
Little boy in my heart
Little boy
Little boy in my heart
Bring me over to your side
We'll run in the woods for awhile
Little boy
Little boy
I've got a foothold on the shore
A toe in the water
And I'm gonna let go
When I'm older
Still I'm playing with words and aspirations
Just laughing at it all
Like a little boy
Little boy in my heart
Little boy
Little boy in my heart
Bring me over to your side
We'll run in the woods for awhile
Little boy
Little boy
Little boy ..
9.The Way You Talk To Me
Your complete silence speaks
Stronger than words
I fumble trying to impress
I mumble trying to express
I tumble talk is meaningless
Just one gesture of your hand
You summon all your greatness to command
And everything I understand
The way you talk to me
Scream away, scream away
To your heart's content
I promise you won't upset a soul
Fool I am I envy you
Scream away you won't spoil the view
Your little daggers always make it through
The way you talk to me
Your smiling at things
They make no sense to me
Your visions and dreams
They might set me free
Just one gesture of your hand
You summon all your greatness to command
And everything I understand
The way you talk to me
The way you talk
The way you talk to me ....
10.Delirious
You play safe
You loose the game
You keep your secrets
I wanna fly on a high trapeze
I get dizzy off my knees
Hope there is a dove waiting to fly with me
Because I know that shelf's no place for me to be
Sometimes
Stranger to a kiss
Sometimes
Delirious
I played hide and seek and found you
I brought a small bouquet to give you
Full of daydreams and cliches to please you
I'm such a novice at this
Forgive me, forgive me
Sometimes
Stranger to a kiss
Sometimes
Delirious
Sometimes
Stranger to a kiss
Sometimes
Delirious, delirious
I'll try a little harder every day, every day
To take in what you say to me
To give you what you want me to
To love you like I should do
Sometimes
Stranger to a kiss
Sometimes
Delirious
Sometimes
Stranger to a kiss
Sometimes
Delirious, delirious ..
11.Over The Moon
Two of us caught out in a violent storm
Suddenly thrown together in the magical sea of love
So much danger coming off the island
So much danger headed for the mainland
I'll revel in this magic
Sitting in the front row
Watch you taming the lions
Watch you walking the wire
Watch you dance in the big top
Taking me higher and higher and higher
When she moves, I watch her
When she speaks, I listen
when she stands, I stand beside her
When she laughs, I'm over the moon
Side by side on Southbound train
Swaying to the engine
Rocking in the June sun
Two little babies in a cradle
Breathing
Swallowing
Drowning, drowning, drowning
When she moves, I watch her
When she speaks, I listen
When she stands, I stand beside her
When she laughs, I'm over the moon
Over the moon ..
12.Riding Waves
There is a house in Washington DC
There is a house in Washington DC
Somebody is inside
I wonder if she remembers me
My love is a cloud
Riding the Atlantic waves
My love is a cloud
Riding the Atlantic waves
Hovering over her
Remaining there
Something's changing and riding the waves
Take in this world and hold it there
Breath in the night and hold it there
Take in this world and hold it there
Till you come back home to me
Till you come back home
Till you come back home to me
Till you come back home
My love is a cloud
Riding waves ...
