On a carousel
That's where I fell
In love with you I stole your heart
And promised not to ever tell of
Horses jumping
Blood that's pumping
Hearts a' thumping
Love is something

On a carousel
We swore to tell
Nothing of the things we did
Things that made us scream and yell for
Waves in motion
Moonlit ocean
Such commotion
Love's the potion

On a carousel
We rang the bell
And grabbed the ring as it came by
Raised our bodies poised to fly like
Horses hopping
Kids are bopping
Lights are popping
Time is stopping on a carousel

First you're up then you're down
Love is like a merry-go-round
Yeah we go up and we go down
Life is like a merry-go-round

On a carousel
That's where I fell
In love with you, you stole my heart
And promised not to ever tell of
Night waves breaking
Bodies shaking
Muscles aching
Hearts for taking on a carousel

Chorus
They're suffering from brain death disease
Yeah yeah BD disease
They were born with a brain
But it died and they're insane
They got the brain death disease
Yea it's BD disease
It comes on like a train
And simply kills the brain
Ya got BD disease

Verses
These nut cakes are easy to see
'Cause actions speak louder than words
At times they're surrounding me
Like in Hitchcock's movie The Birds

Everybody knows they can't drive
It's a miracle they're still alive
I'm always like, "What's the deal?"
Emotions mixed on how I feel

Chorus

Should I feel pity or just disgraced
Should I be angered or even paced
For sure at times I get pissed
You can bet they wouldn't be missed

They'd rather get hit than move aside
It's macho crap or foolish pride
I try to keep an even keel
And hide exactly how I feel

Chorus

Chorus
What we got here is drama queens
24 hour madness machines
The problem's probably in their genes
Often shows in their early teens

Verses
When you're dealing with drama queens
Best to avoid them by any means
They spread their sorry tales of woe
Casting gloom like the falling snow

Fogged in a bent reality
All of life a calamity
Most border on insanity
With a twisted sense of morality

Chorus

Now every day it's something else
And everything's about themself
They make up stuff from out'a the blue
To get reactions from me and you

Chorus

Yea they spread their sorry tales of woe
Casting gloom like the falling snow

Chorus
We've been lovers
For a long long time
There's been no others
I am hers she is mine

Yea we've been lovers
For a long long time
Love that never smothers
She has her space and I have mine

Verses
Of course we've had our ups and downs
But stay within our chosen bounds
By now I know her inside out
Yet love's secure beyond a doubt

Now I know all there is to know
And still love her even though
I know her every wish and prayer
And I'm thankful for the lives we share

Chorus

So many things define our love
Just a few now I'm thinking of
Like affection and honesty
And loads of care and generosity

Chorus

Chorus
When we're young we wish we were older
If we're hot we wish we were colder
When we're in we wish we were out
If refused we wish we had clout

Verses
Seems I always want what I ain't got
If it ain't right here I'll pine alot
It could be a soul I really miss
It might be one I can't resist

Now people say the grass is greener
On the other side of the fence
The answer ain't about demeanor
It's about using common sense

Chorus

We make things up so things fit right
And blur the lines of black and white
Our hindsight might not be all clear
So choose right now and persevere

It don't matter this side or that
Don't matter where your head is at
Try to be content with what you got
Even if it ain't alot

Chorus

Yea be content with what you got
Even if it ain't alot

Chorus
The world is changing way too fast
Affects are ranging from worst to last
Traditions pass at such a pace
Beliefs long held are soon erased

Verses
The bullshit's hard to navigate
'Cause it's mixed with so much lies
'Bout all they do is speculate
Often to our demise

And the courts are all out'a whack
As judges act high on crack
Bad guys freed become repeats
And protesters now own the streets

Chorus

Little by little we lose alot
We look for clues but don't get hot
It's hard to know what we'll regret
Things I'm sure we won't forget

There's good and bad in what we had
And change ain't always bad
But for the truth we'll have to wait
'Cause much too late we learn our fate

Chorus

Yea much too late we learn our fate

Chorus
So many lives...stuck on a fence
They can't decide...it makes no sense
So many lives...up in the air
Cruisin' through life...without a care

Verses
For me it's okay or it's no way
There's nothin' from here to there
Yea it's okay or it's the highway
Or we got nothin' else to share

You gotta make a choice, like right now
You must affirm or disavow
There ain't another way to play
To escape lives in decay

Chorus

No one takes responsibility
For a world filled with hostility
If you're ever gonna have a chance
One day you'll have to take a stance

I guess we gotta fight for peace
If we want this madness to cease
It's all the way or not at all
In the end you make the call

Chorus

Chorus
Today's one of those days when everything
Is a lousy bore or its a chore
I'm not doin' anything
But watch the waves wash ashore

Verses
Last night is kind of a haze
And I woke up on the floor
I'm thankful for those days
When obligations I ignore

It's not about motivation
It's whether or not I care
It's not about inspiration
Inspiration is everywhere

Chorus

Some days are everything I need
Others there's nothin' guaranteed
No nothin' guaranteed

I usually have a lot to do
And chip away until I'm through
I'd take care of it all
And be the one standin' tall

But today I'm not worth anything
That I don't care is the scary thing
But by tomorrow I'll be okay
And ready for a busy day

Chorus

Chorus
You always look so nice
You don't try but you entice
You radiate and shine
Like the glow when stars align

Verses
It's the rhythm of your hips
And the way you purse your lips
It's how you walk so tall
And wacky ways we have a ball

Like everywhere we go
You're the best they all know
I love all the men who stare
Up 'n down and everywhere

Chorus

You make me feel so good
Like no one ever could
Total love is what I feel
My heart is here for you to steal

Yea you...I love you so much
Yea you...now we're out'a touch
Yea you...are the one for me
Yea you...all I can forsee

I can tell you really do care
By things you do when I'm not there
Steppin' out with you
Is all I really wanna do
Yea steppin' out with you
Is all I really wanna do

Chorus
Boys will be boys will be boys
There's absolutely nothin' you can do
'Cause boys will be boys will be boys
Ya never know what they'll get into

Verses
Trust me I know boys when I see 'em
Try to hold 'em down you can't unfree 'em
Boys love livin' life on the run
And they'll do anything as long as they have fun

Chorus

That's boys
There's nothin' you can do
What boys
Does nature call for you
Such boys
Let 'em have their toys
Get boys
Let 'em make some noise

Nothin' but the best for the boys
I don't mind the mess or the noise
They don't bitch 'n moan or complain
But I admit they can make me insane, 'cause

Chorus

Chorus
The trouble with plans
Is that plans always change
The greatest of plans
Can get flushed down the drain

Yea the trouble with plans
Is that plans always change
Better stick to your plans
Or you'll rearrange

Verses
Never had a plan all planned out
Never had a problem with self doubt
All alone I'd find stuff out
Through thick and thin, rain and drought

Always winged things on my own
Learned myself what I have known
Never sought a silly throne
Grew myself what I have grown

Chorus

Now if you find your plans must change
Don't be afraid to rearrange
Plans are like a flowing stream
A changing reoccurring dream

Doesn't matter what the plans
Many things aren't in your hands
I've fought things down to tooth and bone
And done some things I can't condone

Chorus

Chorus
2 seconds ain't much time
Yea things can turn on a dime
In 2 seconds you can win or lose
Then celebrate or sing the blues

Verses
I don't usually miss by a mile
Coming close is more my style
I'll save the day by just a bit
And squeakin' by is all legit

It's often gone when I take a chance
In the time it takes to take a glance
Many times I've come so close
It's right there then adios

Chorus

I win a lot by just a hair
Other times I'm almost there
All the times I just missed out
But by chance overcame my doubt

Our fate can change in just a flash
Hope and dreams up in smoke and ash
But you can bet I'll try and try
'Cause like 2 seconds time goes by and by

Yea like 2 seconds
Time goes by and by

Chorus
I'd love to find a senorita
To help me pass the day
We'd sip a margarita
And maybe hit the hay

Yea find me a senorita
To get me through today
We'll share a margarita
And hopefully hit the hay

Verses
I can only count what I can see
As pressures mount all over me
So many options that could be
I'm hoping change holds the key

No there's nothin' left to say
'Cause right here I plan to stay
I'm thinkin' things will be okay
And I'll get settled along the way

Chorus

The feel of rain on my face
The sweaty thrill of a chase
My latest love in lots of lace
Floating free inside my place

All is well and under control
For the moment anyway
I'm slowly reaching to my goal
To make love every single day

Chorus

Chorus
We're up and we're down
Gallants around town
It's a real roller-coaster ride
Moods come and go
Changes fast and slow
Never smooth like the ocean tide

Verses
Now some are on the bus
And others off the bus
There's nothing in between
And nothing unforseen

All cast in black or white
All locked in wrong or right
Try not to know too much
Stay mostly out'a touch

Chorus

I hate not knowing
What we got goin' on
Gale winds are blowing
Which way they goin' on

No I'm not really lost
I just don't know my way
May never know the total cost
'Till love is gone one day

Chorus

A roller-coaster ride
Never smooth like the ocean tide
Yea a roller-coaster ride
Never smooth like the ocean tide

Chorus

The cool side of warm
Yea the cool side of warm
In an evening summer storm
As goosebumps start to form
You're on the cool side of warm

Verses

No two people are the same
Our genes are what's to blame
Some love it hot some love it cold
Some love 'em young some love 'em old
Either way you can't go wrong on the cool side of warm

For me I love it in between
Partly nightmare partly dream
She was the best I've ever seen
But I learned before too long
She was walkin' all along

Chorus

When I step into the shower
I get to use my power
I get the water set just right
And clear my mind with all my might
Now nothin' can go wrong
'Cause I'm chillin' on

Chorus

Chorus
There's a side no one's ever seen
A place where no one's ever been
Lot's of things only I can see
Many things meant just for me

Verses
She's an angel is what they think
But she can change in just a blink
She's sweet and goodness in 'n out
But needs a shrink without a doubt

So many things come into play
Yea different ones from day to day
Maybe suspicion or jealousy
Mixed with some insecurity

Chorus

She's up she's down
She's in 'n out
She's fluid all the way
She's high she's low
She's stop 'n go
She's on her game today

I guess by now I've seen it all
Many memories I won't recall
Sometimes I wonder why I stay
I wonder why I'm here today
Yea sometimes I wonder why I stay
Yea I wonder why I'm here today

Chorus

Our flag is a beacon for the free
Disrespect is sickening to see
Yea our flag is a beacon for the free
Fly our flag if you agree with me

Now the world got turned upside down
Changes made with barely a sound
Equality is nowhere to be found
Common sense is nowhere around

No nothin' makes sense anymore
Now bad guys are the ones keeping score
The guy who flew our flag at his store
Got busted for doing nothin' more

Chorus

Let's get back to the real world
Fly our flag and keep it unfurled
Contempt can be a slippery slope
But I'll keep looking for signs of hope

Chorus

Hit the road any time of day
Get your grub along the way
Look ahead not to the past
Be the first yea not the last

I'm not interested in a race
But got a full tank just in case
I'll try not to get in your face
But move aside as I set the pace

Chorus
Drop Down when you're in a curve
Stick around if you got the nerve
Keep straight try not to swerve
But drop down if you hit a curve

Now when you're on your way
And skies are clear today
You can make some time
And leave the rest behind

I'll go hood to hood with the best
And quickly pass by all the rest
Then once I get where I'm goin'
My racing heart starts slowin'

Chorus

Once I get where I'm goin'
My racing heart starts slowin'

Yea once I get where I'm goin'
This racing heart starts slowin'
