I met a girl on seventh street
She was the best thing to happen to me
She broke my heart on the seventh night
I always thought that we'd be just right
We took a ride through the end of time
Sat at the edge and started to rhyme
She told me I was a perfect guy
And thats when I started to cry

I told her she was just my type
But I couldn't live up to all the hype
She told me that I was just too sweet
And she swore she'd never go back to seventh street

I met a girl at the edge of time
I'm a lucky guy 'cause she was one of a kind
And I promised her that I would still be true
It's a promise that I've really got to follow through
I met a girl at the edge of time
I'm a lucky guy 'cause she was one of a kind
And I promised her that I would still be true
It's a promise that I'll never get to follow through

We took a walk on the boulevard
It made what she had to say really hard
Because she told me she would always be there
And she was the only one who truly cared
We walked back to our coffee joint
I held her palm tight as she made her point
She told me her old life was gone
And she'd be part of me before very long

I told her she was just my type
But I couldn't live up to all the hype
She told me that I was just too sweet
And she swore she'd never go back to seventh street

I met a girl at the edge of time
I'm a lucky guy 'cause she was one of a kind
And I promised her that I would still be true
It's a promise that I've really got to follow through
I met a girl at the edge of time
I'm a lucky guy 'cause she was one of a kind
And I promised her that I would still be true
It's a promise that I'll never get to follow through

The news came on an early morn
She was gone and I was torn
She left me for her past and I was lost
My body felt useless and my mind was tossed
She saw me one final time
She held me tight and kissed me goodbye
She said she's sorry but she'll never change
And she hopes that I too would stay just the same

I wrote this song about the girl I had
Even though she left me and I'm feeling sad
She always told me I would just move on
That she wasn't part of me for very long

I met a girl at the edge of time
I'm a lucky guy 'cause she was one of a kind
And I promised her that I would still be true
It's a promise that I've really got to follow through
I met a girl at the edge of time
I'm a lucky guy 'cause she was one of a kind
And I promised her that I would still be true
It's a promise that I'll never get to follow through

It's a promise that I'll never get to follow through

Avenging Olivia

We've got a problem
No one will stop you
And it seems crazy
But I still haunt you
You cannot stop her
Because she's fighting
She has some anger
She feels your fighting
You cannot break her
You cannot take her
She might just take you
I cannot make her

I feel your presence
Inside her breathing
But you will fail as long as
I am still here breathing

We've got a problem
I see you trembling
Inside your structure
I see you trembling
You cannot stop her
Because she's strong now
She knows the truth now
Because she's strong now
You cannot break her
Your lies wont break her
I know she'll take you
Your lies wont break her

I feel your presence
Inside her breathing
But you will fail as long as
I am still here breathing

Belle Of The Ball

It must be hard with a
Body that kills
It must be hard with a
Flirty stare that chills
Funny, how you think you're
Belle of the ball
And still your candy doesn't seem to
Want you at all

You call me up one night
And I don't want to hear your voice
Don't try to tell me that you're being pushed
I know that it was your choice
You lie to me with open arms
And say it's you I lack
The notches on your belt make me think
That maybe I should watch my back

You know, it's easy to say that
You aren't here no more
My new girl at my side
Makes your stare seem like a chore
You know, it's easy to say that
You aren't here no more
My new girl at my side
Makes your stare seem like a chore

Walked through the city
Looking for my girl
I'm nothing but a fool
And I want the world
All those around me
Think the change will come fast
Music's forever
Politics are just the past

There’s lots of people
Who think there’s a good plan
What they don't realize
Is I'm not just a man
This will not last but
What they don't seem to see is...
They're all part of the past

Someone once told me that
I just need to be saved
Salvation is just a word
That mankind has made
Everyday they say 'we're
Closer to a goal.'
No one understands
Their time, their place, and role

There’s lots of people
Who think there’s a good plan
What they don't realize
Is I'm not just a man
This will not last but
What they don't seem to see is…
They're all part of the past

The future's bright
For us at least it seems
I've got nothing, 'cept
A crowd haunting my dreams
At least I have that girl of mine
She just isn’t here now
Tomorrow is for two of us
Then we can show them how

There’s lots of people
Who think there’s a good plan
What they don't realize
Is I'm not just a man
This will not last but
What they don't seem to see is…
They're all part of the past

Walked through the city
Looking for my girl

Chicken Little

back to top

Some people go where they think the money is
Some go where they think their idol is
Still others go where they think the party is
You and me can go the opposite of where that is

Something just seems so right about you and me
Oh, I don't know quite what it is
But I know that it is meant to be
Something just seems so right about you and me
Oh I don't know where we're going
But I know by whose side I will be

Everything keeps on going a different way, it keeps on going on
Different paths and different places, other feelings, lots of faces
But you and I are better than those fools
Because we agree not to follow those rules

Something just seems so right about you and me
Oh, I don't know quite what it is
But I know that it is meant to be
Something just seems so right about you and me
Oh I don't know where we're going
But I know by whose side I will be

Something just seems so right about you and me
Oh, I don't know quite what it is
But I know that it is meant to be
Something just seems so right about you and me
Oh I don't know where we're going
But I know by whose side I will be

Changes whisper in your ear
They say it's all a lie
Someone had to think of it and
Someone had to try
Corruption leads the way
To a quiet life alone
Without edge
Life has lost a sharper tone

Secretly grey the lies thrive
And I barely stay alive

Brainwashing us through words
That we're supposed to hear
It's so bad to be different
And it's certainly wrong to care
If it isn't done the way they did
Then suddenly, you've been "misled"
"You've got to want whatever you don't,"
"And if you want it, your life will end."

Oh! baby the evil mastermind
Of the small little world
Tells you to be perfect for someone else
Why on earth is it so bad to think for yourself?
'Cause this guy thought of it
And I won't try

The evil mastermind
Of the small little world
Tells you to be perfect for someone else
Why the hell is it so bad to think for yourself?
'Cause this guy thought of it
And I won't try
'Cause this guy thought of it
And I won't try

Hibakusha

I don't think it makes sense
The way you look when you take on the rest
Why do your eyes gleam with pride
When you attack her pain inside

I wish you could see her scars
The way she listens while she's trapped behind bars
I wish that you could just know
The pain she feels, she will never let go

I hope that someday you pay
For all the trouble that you caused her that day
I don't care how you turn out
But in your intentions I've got nothing but doubt

Hours

You told me you were alive
You swore that it was true
You told me what I wanted to hear
And I wanted bad to believe you

I say twenty-four, and I mean twenty-four
But I know that you want to think six
I don't know what you want, but I know what I need
And that's to ditch you and your old tricks

You yelled that I should believe
And finally I said no more
Never mind that you cried, and you sighed, and you lied,
But I can't say I know what it was for

I say twenty-four, and I mean twenty-four
But I know that you want to think six
I don't know what you want, but I know what I need
And that's to ditch you and your old tricks

I know that you said you were mine
But I know that you meant I was there
I heard what you said, but I'm better off dead
Because in this game you don't dare play fair

I say twenty-four, and I mean twenty-four
But I know that you want to think six
I don't know what you want, but I know what I need
And that's to ditch you and your old tricks

The fun we'd shared
In vein were the tears
We cried for the ghost
Who deprived us all these years
Her words they were fake
And still she played our song
He's the one who takes the cake
Now her acceptance is gone

Now she's gone and done it again
And found another mind
Someone she'd rather be
She left her old self behind
Now I'm left here with just her shadow
And no way to get away
But if I would have gone along
She'd have left us anyway

She thought of ways
To get me to stray
She pit me up against my mind
And then just ran away
Now she's gone and turned her back
She's got no place to hide
She tried to save me from myself
But she just told me lies

Now she's gone and done it again
And found another mind
Someone she'd rather be
She left her old self behind
Now I'm left here with just her shadow
And no way to get away
But if I would have gone along
She'd have left us anyway

Mirroring what she thinks is cool
She left without goodbye
No one thought it'd come to this
But of course I know why
She's a puppet to society
Not a fighting chance
She sold out to her magazine
Forget her she's the past

Now she's gone and done it again
And found another mind
Someone she'd rather be
She left her old self behind
Now I'm left here with just her shadow
And no way to get away
But if I would have gone along
She'd have left us anyway

Now she's gone and done it again
And found another mind
Someone she'd rather be
She left her old self behind
Now I'm left here with just her shadow
And no way to get away
But if I would have gone along
She'd have left us anyway

You sat right next to me
I felt my body shake
That moment changed my life
But filled my heart with ache

I'm nobody's sweetheart without you
And since I don't know what else to do
Even if you don't take it, gonna give my heart to you
'cause I'm nobody's sweetheart
Without you

You screwed up and I didn't care
About those things you did within
You still feel like my girl
Even though you are with him

I'm nobody's sweetheart without you
And since I don't know what else to do
Even if you don't take it, gonna give my heart to you
'cause I'm nobody's sweetheart
Without you

Just in the nick of time
She jumped out just to see her girls
She played it like it's a game
Her shoes are on and her hairs are in curls

The locks of her hair glow bright in the day
And her cute little toes glow bright in the night
A girl uneffected by hate or fear
Innocent little friend never felt so near

A red dress in the day
A nice friend in her hand
A new girl on the street
A new law of the land

Olivia, she saves the day
By coming through in a brand new way

That little girl has some heart
And I bet that she'll have her say

Red Overture
Music by Ronny Cary
Lyrics by Ronny Cary and Jacqui Kahl

I hoped for, wanted, and got it, but...
Did it really come true?
Can I wake up from this dream?
'course, this wasn't what I was looking to do

Never lonely 'cause I had nobody
Never cried because nobody showed me how
Never sheltered and I have nobody
But I'm leavin' and need somebody now

Streets and lies covered with pride
Pullin' you around
You can't succeed as long as you suffer from
You gettin’ pulled down

Never lonely 'cause I had nobody
Never cried because nobody showed me how
Never sheltered and I have nobody
But I'm leavin' and need somebody now
Never lonely 'cause I had nobody
Never cried because I need nobody
Never sheltered and I have nobody
But I'm leavin' and need somebody now

Never lonely 'cause I needed you
Never cried because I believe in you
Never lonely 'cause I needed you
Never cried because I believe in you
Never lonely 'cause I needed you (fly away)
Never cried because I believe in you
Never sheltered and I have nobody
But I'm leaving and I'm gonna find you

You called at 4 am
But I wasn't asleep
You told me not to worry
As always I will worry
You told me not to cry
Said "no such thing as try"
You caught me in my own words
Sometimes I hate my own words

I told you how I feel
But said it just too loud
You told me I should calm down
I never want to calm down
It's hard to say goodbye
Even though it's just a week
I told you that I'm still here
You'll always know I'm still here

You called at 4 am
And told me that you're alright
You said you were up all night
And you hate when we fight
I told you how I feel
I hate the way your tears fall
But I know above all
I know that you will call

I wasn't asleep
And I'll never leave
