    1. Owner Of A Lonely Heart

      Move yourself
      You always live your life
      Never thinking of the future
      Prove yourself
      You are the move you make
      Take your chances win or loser

      See yourself
      You are the steps you take
      You and you - and that's the only way

      Shake - shake yourself
      You're every move you make
      So the story goes

      Owner of a lonely heart
      Owner of a lonely heart
      Much better than - a
      Owner of a broken heart
      Owner of a lonely heart

      Say - you don't want to chance it
      You've been hurt so before

      Watch it now

      The eagle in the sky
      How he dancin' one and only
      You - lose yourself
      No not for pity's sake
      There's no real reason to be lonely
      Be yourself
      Give your free will a chance
      You've got to want to succeed

      Owner of a lonely heart
      Owner of a lonely heart
      Much better than - a
      Owner of a broken heart
      Owner of a lonely heart

      Owner of a lonely heart

      After my own decision
      They confused me so
      My love said never question your will at all
      In the end you've got to go
      Look before you leap
      And don't you hesitate at all - no no
      Owner of a lonely heart


      Owner of a lonely heart


      Owner of a lonely heart
      Owner of a lonely heart
      Much better than - a
      Owner of a broken heart
      Owner of a lonely heart
    ( repeat )
      Owner of a lonely heart

      Sooner or later each conclusion
      Will decide the lonely heart
      It will excite it will delight
      It will give a better start

      Owner of a lonely heart

      Owner of a lonely heart

      Don't deceive your free will at all
      Don't deceive your free will at all
      Don't deceive your free will at all
      Just receive it

      Owner of a lonely heart

    2. Hold On

      Justice to the left of you
      Justice to the right
      Speak when you are spoken to
      Don't pretend you're right
      This life's not for living
      It's for fighting and for war
      No matter what the truth is
      Hold on to what is yours

      Jigsaw puzzle traitors
      Set to spill the beans
      Constitution screw up
      Shattering the dreams
      Blood flows in the desert
      Dark citadels burning too
      Watch ! Look over your shoulder
      This one is strictly for you

      Hold on - Hold on
      Wait maybe the answer's
      Looking for you

      Hold on - Hold on
      Wait ! Take you time
      Think it through
      Yes ! I can make it through

      Hold on - Hold on
      Sunshine shine on through
      Hold on - Hold on
      Sunshine shine on you

      See it through

      Talk the simple smile
      Such platonic eye
      How they drown in incomplete capacity
      Strangest of them all
      When the feeling calls
      How we drown in stylistic audacity
      Charge the common ground
      Round and round and round
      We living in gravity

      Shake - We shake so hard
      How we laugh so loud
      When we reach
      We believe in eternity

      I believe in eternity

      Hold on - Hold on
      Wait - Take your time
      See it through
      Hold on - Hold on
      Wait - Maybe a chance
      Is looking for you

      Sunshine shine on through

      Sunshine shine on through
      Sunshine shine on you

      Hold on - Hold on
      Hold on - Hold on

      Sunshine - Shine on - Shine on you
      Sunshine - Shine on through
      Sunshine - Shine on - Shine on through
      Sunshine - Shine on you

      Sunshine - Shine on - Shine on you
      Sunshine - Shine on through

      Sunshine - Shine on - Shine on through
      Sunshine - Shine on you
      Hold on - Hold on
      Wait - Take your time
      See it through
      Hold on - Hold on
      Wait - Maybe the answer's looking for you

    3. It Can Happen

      You can fool yourself
      You can cheat until you're blind
      You can cut your heart
      It can happen

      You can mend the wires
      You can feed the soul apart
      You reach
      It can happen to you
      It can happen to me
      It can happen to everyone eventually

      It's a constant fight
      A constant fight
      You're pushing the needle to the red
      Black and white
      Who knows who's right
      No substitute you're born you're dead
      Fly by night
      Created out of fantasy
      Our destinations call

      Look up - Look down
      Look out - Look around
      Look up - Look down
      There's a crazy world outside
      We're not about to lose our pride

      It can happen to you
      It can happen to me
      It can happen to everyone eventually

      As you happen to say
      It can happen today
      As it happens
      It happens in every way

      This world I like
      We architects of life
      A song a sigh
      Developing words that linger
      Through fields of green through open eyes
      This for us to see

      Look up - Look down
      Look out - Look around
      So look up - Look down
      There's a crazy world outside
      We're not about to lose our pride

      It can happen to you
      It can happen to me
      It can happen to everyone eventually

      As you happen to say
      It can happen today
      As it happens
      It happens in every way

      As you happen to see
      It will happen to be
      Nothing happens to nowhere and nowhere
    SOLO
      Look up - Look down
      There's a crazy world outside
      We're not about to lose our pride

      It can happen to you
      It can happen to me
      It can happen to everyone eventually

      As you happen to see
      It will happen to be
      Nothing happens to nowhere and nowhere

      You can fool yourself
      You can cheat until you're blind
      You can cut your heart

      You can fool yourself
      You can cheat until you're blind

    4. Changes

      I'm moving through some changes
      I'll never be the same
      Something you did touched me
      There's no one else to blame

      The love we had has fallen
      The love we used to share
      We've given up pretending
      As if you didn't care

      Change changing places
      Root yourself to the ground
      Capitalize on this good fortune
      One word can bring you round
      Changes

      I look into the mirror
      I see no happiness
      All the warmth I gave you
      Has turned to emptiness
      The love we had has fallen
      The love we used to share
      You've left me here believing
      In love that wasn't there

      Change changing places
      Root yourself to the ground
      Word to the wise - Well you get what's coming
      One word can bring you round
      Changes

      When I look into your eyes and try to find out how
      There's no way to save it now
      And everything I feel
      Changes
      Keep looking for
      Changes
      Changes

      For some reason you're questioning why
      I always believe it gets better
      One difference between you and I
      Your heart is inside your head

      One word from you
      One word from me
      A clear design on your liberty
      Who could believe when love has gone
      How we move on like everyone

      Only such fools
      Only such jealous hearts

      Only through love changes come

      Change changing places
      Root yourself to the ground
      Capitalize on this good fortune
      One word can bring you round
      Changes

      One road to loneliness
      It's always the same
      One road to happiness
      It's calling your name

      Change changing places - Changes
      Root yourself to the ground
      Capitalize on this good fortune
      One word can bring you round
      Changes

      Change changing places
      Changes
      Root yourself to the ground
      Word to the wise - Well you get what's coming
      One word - One word can bring you round
      Changes

    6. Leave It

      I can feel no sense of measure
      No illusions as we take
      Refuge in young man's pleasure
      Breaking down the dreams we make
      Real

      One down one to go
      Another town and one more show
      Downtown they're giving away
      But she never came back

      No phone can take your place
      You know what I mean
      We have the same intrigue
      As a court of kings

      Ah leave it
      Ah leave it
      Two down there you go
      McArthur Park in the driving snow
      Uptown they're digging it out
      Better lay your claim

      Get home you're not alone
      You just broke out of the danger zone
      Be there to show your face
      On another dreamy day

      Ah leave it
      Ah leave it

      Goodbye goodbye goodbye bad
      Hello hello heaven

      Goodbye goodbye goodbye bad
      Hello hello heaven
      Ah leave it

      Ah leave it

      I can feel no sense of measure
      No illusions as we take
      Refuge in young man's pleasure
      Breaking down the dreams we make
      Real

      Ah leave it
      Ah leave it

      Goodbye goodbye goodbye bad
      Hello hello heaven

      Goodbye goodbye goodbye bad
      Hello hello heaven

      One down one to go
      Another town and one more show

      One down one to go
      Another town and one more show
      Ah leave it

      Ah leave it

      Ah leave it
      Goodbye goodbye goodbye bad
      Hello hello heaven

      Goodbye goodbye goodbye bad

      Leave it

    7. Our Song

      Toledo was just another good stop
      Along the good king's highway
      My fortification took me by surprise
      And hit me sending me sideways
      Spellbound - Roundly - Good for sunshine
      Can't help thinking

      Singing the Rule Britannia
      And this is where it grabs you
      There's method in the key of C
      Toledo's got to be the silver city
      In this good country

      Our song
      It gives us a reason
      Our song
      That good remedy
      Music has magic
      That stuff of syncopation

      Ever tried driving it to golden heights
      Just simply jiving it
      My mystification it got a
      Jewel skies crazy spacing it
      Hot sun - Crowded - Screams high voices
      Singing speechless

      Touching of the healing heart
      So this is where we really start
      Music is a shout of foregone conclusions
      As long as music plays its part
      Good good part

      Our song
      It gives us a reason
      Our song
      That good remedy
      Music has magic
      It's good clear syncopation

      Treat it good
      Treat it rightly
      And if you get it flowing
      The harmony is glowing
      So get ready
      So get ready
      Don't go toledo toledo don't go
      Music - Good to you
      Music - Good to you

    8. City Of Love

      City of love City of love City of love

      Once bitten twice shy
      No - No regrets at all
      Justice - Body smooth take over
      Good girls they work the city
      Good guys they spike you hard
      How they jive ad jingle
      When you're in their backyard

      Street corner wonder lust
      Beckoning the good guy
      Take this get that
      Have a good time

      He young and tactile
      He ready for anything that is
      How they jive and jingle
      They've read the book that gives

      We'll be waiting for the night
      We'll be waiting for the night to come

      We'll be waiting for the night
      We'll be waiting for the night to come

      Supervise this good treatment
      Alternative line by line
      So the street guys so observant
      Take him for a ride
      Have a good time
      Like a legend the man he sharp
      His woman gladly watching
      As he strides out of the dark
      Better be quick get away

      We'll be waiting for the night
      We'll be waiting for the night to come

      We'll be waiting for the night
      We'll be waiting for the night to come
    SOLO
      Good timing has its good price
      One trick and you're stuck with the dice
      How they jive and jingle
      When you're their sacrifice

      Fast as lightning
      Go - Go get high - He's looking good
      Once bitten twice shy
      No woman no cry
      No woman don't cry

      We'll be waiting for the night
      We'll be waiting for the night to come
    ( repeat three times )

      Hearing - Talking - Yes I - Love you
