Let's Have A Good Time

There's a shipwreck on a tidal wave
Ragin' in my blood
And I've lost the charts that guide me
To where going's good
The blackest birds are flyin'
In a sky that has no light
All because a woman
And a man are in a fight

I just can't seem to stop it
And everything is goin' wrong
It may be hard to see
But we'll be laughin' before long, baby

 Let's Have a good time when it's over
Oh baby, I know that we're still
The best of friends
I said let's have a good time when it's over
I'm gonna love you
Like we'll never fight again

I can't believe that you're the one
That held me all last night
Hurlin' down those angry words
From such a bitter height
Human arms aren't long enough
To reach up where you've gone
Don't you know how much I need
The love you've withdrawn

I just can't make it stop
And everything is goin' wrong
May be hard to see
But we'll be laughin' before long, baby

(*repeat)

Let's have a good time when it's over
Oh baby, I know that we're still
The best of friends
Yes, I know that we'll have a good time
Let's have a good time when it's over
I'm gonna love you
Like we'll never fight again
Want you to take me in your arms
And love me like we'll never fight again
I'm gonna love you like
We'll never fight again
It's so good to know
I'm gonna love you like
We'll never fight again.

Dance With Me

*   Dance with me
I want to be your partner
Can't you see
The music is just starting
Night is calling
And I am falling
Dance With Me

Fantasy
Could never be so killing
I feel free
I hope that you are willing
Pick the beat up
And kick your feet up
Dance With me

**   Let it lift you of the ground
Starry eyes and love is all around us
I can take you where
You want to go, oh

(*repeat)
(**repeat)

Wake Up

Wake up, people wake up
See what you're doin' to the land
Wake up, people, wake up
You're tyin' God's providin' hand
You know a day's gonna come
When man's a ghost
And there's one concrete slab
From coast to coast
A day's gonna come
You'll see what you're doin' to the land

Wake up, people, wake up
Stop dumpin' shit into the sea
Come on and wake up, people, wake up
Can't you let the fishes be
You know a day's gonna come
When you need a drink
And you'll just get oil
From your kitchen sink
Said a day's gonna come
You'll see what you're doin' to the sea

You better wake up, people, wake up
Look what's becomin' of the sky
Come on and wake up, people, wake up
That make you have to cough and cry
You know a day's gonna come
When the sun won't shine
And you won't see the shit
For the grease and slime
A day's gonna come
When you see what you're doin' to the -

*   Sky and sea and snow and lightning
Wait upon the summer air
Birds in flight and seasons giving
Signs that life is growing bare

(*repeat)

Wake up, people, wake up

Let There Be Music

When the world was in trouble
And it looked like there was hell to pay
Fire, fire everywhere
And the news got worse each day
Well people really wondered
Just how long they could hold out
God looked down from heaven above
And he began to shout

*   Let there be music
Let it shine like the sun
Let there be music
Everybody's got to have some fun

It's so hard to keep on smilin'
When people try to make you frown
But we're all in this together
So why bring one another down
You know we can't expect our problems
To grow wings and fly away
So fight the fight just as hard as you can
And when it's time for you to play

The Last Song

They say the ocean has its mountains
Thrusting high beneath the tides
But times and water will erase them
Time and tears will heal my pride
Salty water cures the wounded
Everyone knows that it's true

Sometimes I think I could fish out a star
Frozen gem from a midnight pool
But they say a star is space on fire
And these fires burn for you
However cold my heart may seem
Everyone knows that it's true

A circle is unbroken
In the chain the seasons grown
Captives we must die
If we really want the love
That stars and oceans measure

When we stood it looked like ashes
I guess we lost control
Ashes are the final ending
Look for survivors on the glow
Only love can resurrect them
Everyone hopes that it's so
Only love can resurrect them
Everyone hopes that it's so

Sweet Johanna

I came to the great big city
I was only seventeen
Got me a job in a big skyscraper
Keepin' the restrooms clean
And I meant to save all my money
And bring you east someday
But the neon lights burned holes in my pockets
And the money just slipped away

*   My sweet Johanna
I'm hitchin' a ride back to Indiana
Back where I started
And poorer than the day I went away
My sweet Johanna
I'm hitchin' a ride back to Indiana
Just to tell you that
You wouldn't like to live
In New York City anyway

You wrote me long love letters
And I read them through and through
The concrete seemed a little bit warmer
Just knowin' your love was true
But still I got so lonely
Sittin' in my room at night
That I had to go out just any place
As long as the lights were bright

(*repeat)

I went to the bar on the corner
Thought I'd have just one beer
"How bout one for me. Hon?"
A voice whispered in my ear
I had not heard a friendly word
for seven months or more
So I had to defend my lady friend
When somebody called her a whore

"Well, what do you know, he's a farmer"
That dirty bastard laughed
I said "I'll show you how a farmer fights"
But I was a little too smashed
We all went out to the alley
But I woke up alone
With an empty wallet, achin' head
And nowhere to go but home

(*repeat 2 times)

Sunset

*   (Now) Open your window
Fly over the trees
And onto the sunset ahead
When you find your soft cloud
To lay your head on
Well God don't forget about me

Not it used to be so easy
To Float like the wind
And show everybody else how
Now it seems they all know
How to do that and more
And left you behind in the while

But I'll be along in a minute, uh huh
Sometimes it gets hard to be
And you won't regret
When you hear the angels sing sweetly
But it's always been you and me
Yeah it's always been you and me

(*Repeat)

Yeah 'cause I'll be along
In a minute, yeah yeah
Sometimes it gets hard to leave
And you won't regret
When you hear the angels sing sweetly
It's always been you and me
It's always been you and me

Yeah It's always been you and me
And it'll always be you and me

Money

Ain't it funny
How you spend that money
When you think it's comin' in for free
When you got no reason
To believe you're easin'
Down the road to poverty
You're sittin' back in your rockin' chair
Livin' is high
And you ain't go a care
But the wall's gonna fall
When they pull that big green rug
From underneath you feet

Penny saved is penny earned
I remember from my younger days
But I ain't never met a man
Who had bucks to burn
Who wasn't lookin' for his next big raise
The more you make the more you spend
If you've got that much
I'll let you be my friend
But some people you meet
Are gonna wind up cheatin'
So you better watch them behave

*   Money, ain't it funny
When you're rich it's at your feet
(But) it ain't funny
When you go no money
And there's nothin' left to eat

Well the moral to this story
Is that money ain't glory
So don't bite off more than you can chew
Well you can go where you want
Do what you please
It's gonna buy you some problems, too
never a beggar nor a lender be
If you take my advice
You won't wind up like me

Lord, it sure is funny
How I blew that money
when the figure goes down
Don't you feel like a dummy
I'm a wise hold fool
With a shrunken tummy
I'm a broke as I can be

(*Repeat)

Hey hey hey money, sweet as honey, yeah
Rotten as spoiled meat
But honey, when you got no money
Nothin' else tastes sweet

The Breakdown

Honey baby, I been told
You know how to move your body bold
I got to see for myself

Breakdown to me
Breakdown to you
Breakdown to the one
You're gonna give it to

*   Do the breakdown, children
Break on down
Do the breakdown, children
Break on down

You've got it cold, my my my
Stop where you are and grab your guy
Just look around, you know you ought
To give him all the love you've got

Breakdown to the East
Breakdown to the West
Breakdown to the one
Gonna love you the best

(*Repeat)

There's a brand new dance that's goin' around
It's not the Funky Chicken
Said it's called the Breakdown
I said come here, mama
Won't you look at Sis
She's in the backyard
Breakin' down like this

Breakdown to the left
Breakdown to the right
Breakdown to the one
Gonna love you tonight

(*Repeat 2 times with ad lib)

Break on down
