SOMETHING ON YOUR MIND

I seen it comin, I seen it comin through the winter I seen it comin, I seen it comin-no forever I was feeling lost and I ran to you If only I knew the cost, and who to pay it to If theres something on your mind Something you feel you got to find If theres something on your mind Why dont you say so I seen it comin, I seen it comin Now shes gone I seen it comin, I seen it comin for so long Time not on your side but all around you You feel you cant confide in all you used to If theres something on your mind Something you feel you got to find If theres something on your mind Why dont you say so I seen it comin, I seen it comin through the winter I seen it comin, I seen it comin-no forever If its not in your heart to really see it through Dont see it through If theres something on your mind Something you feel you got to find If theres something on your mind Why dont you say so Š 1997 Parlapiano/Bonk

BRAVE NEW WORLD Tracks beneath this locomotive clacking out of time And all unearthly demons need to find a bed tonight Sun lights the morning and I get no rest The wrinkles on my forehead neatly cleaned and pressed I've tried to keep it simple, shouldn't have to think so hard But life's a contradiction, gonna draw another card It's out with old world and in with the new What you're telling me man is impossible to do To forget that I ever had a heart To forget that I ever gave a damn at all I'm so tired of looking for a lonely crowded bar I think I know the way to go, just point me to the stars No one wants to lend a hand (the secret of the West) A man in search of truth will never stop to rest No traveling on the easy road, I ain't got a prayer I can't keep on holding on if I don't really care [Refrain] Dreamless sleep surrounding me so I can drift away And all deviant overtures have finally had their day Too tired to fight society, you win, I'll cut my hair But in this Lincoln tunnel there's a headlight shining there I'll do what you want me to but I can make this vow As long as I am standing here I'll be myself somehow It's out with the old world and in with the new What you're telling me man is impossible to do To forget that I ever had a choice To forget that I ever had a voice To forget that I ever gave a damn at all Š1992 Parlapiano/Bonk

EVERY MOTHERS DREAM Chorus: She was every mothers dream But no one knew about her She tried to make the scene With money sex and power In a young girls mind This gun (my love) was just a plaything But every mothers dream Could drive a man insane I like love and I love sex and you're the best thing Thats happened yet No one knows How far it goes She took the gun to her head Wanted to run But Shot instead Now nothing ever Gonna be the same I gotta go and change my name Chorus Come testify Just state the facts Like your lust Hold nothing back They pull the straps on the 'lectic chair Did your ma treat you wrong Did you think you'd run away for long To kill my wife In first degree What were you thinkin Save a bullet for me Chorus Š 1997 Parlapiano

POSTCARDS Gonna waste a little time Gonna drink a little wine And maybe I could love you better No sense to wait No sense to dream Cause I'm thinkin its now or never I could be the prince and you could be prize In a twisted game of show and tell Stop you disbelief cause very word I speak Is coming from my heart coming from my heart Postcards you sent to me Old love letters from the Salton Sea Postcards you sent to me I don't remember I don't remember your name Said you better not call, I saw the writing on the wall When you told me that your number was loaded It was only one time and I was out of my mind You could say that I was drunk with the moment So bake me a cake as fast as you can Or the dish'll run away with the spoon As a matter of fact I got your things all packed But we're goin' on a separate honeymoon [refrain] Easy and free You were to me The road goes on forever You know what I mean Š1997 Bonk/Parlapiano

NEVER AGAIN Tried to get it all in words and letters Tried to make sense out of all this sorrow Tried to believe there're be a better tomorrow Never again One day as I gazed at the Virgin Mary I saw her in all grace I said if you were here would you set the story straight And wipe out the human race Never again, Never again will I say gimmie more. Cause I want it all Once I had a dream, it was a dangerous appetite And I was afraid I'd get trapped Once I had a scheme-it took all my will So I picked up a guitar and a hat People started coming on to me like I was rubbish And they were some kind of human flies Never believed a word but I wanted to love them and understand their lies Never again Never again Before I knew what hit me I was wisked into a dark room And told what is and isn't right It felt so good that they were listening It felt better than alive Race had been started and runners were on their marks But I knew I couldn't compete Thought it was my mistake Thought is was my destiny Thought that I had cold feet Never again Never again will I say gimmie more Cause I want it all Š 1997 P.

MILES AWAY I wrote the book on heartache Wasn't hard to do Leave a vision in the bedroom (Ingenue) You know I'd stay forever But it's time for me to go I'd be answering the questions Well you know I'll be miles away I'm going miles away I'll be miles away Miles away I'm a poster child for travel And I've suffered for the arts Going dancing with a bullet On your charts You can while away a lifetime You can disregard the news Don't you need a little polish For those shoes CHORUS Take a little ride, Take a look inside of the crazy game we play Every one around Never hear a sound understand the words I say Never get a thrill When you get your fill Now there will be hell to pay I could earn an honest living But I'd rather stay in bed Custom fitted for your sinning And your head Wash your windshield for a dollar Do a trick for passing change Aren't you someone I believed in Gone insane CHORUS Š 1997 Bonk/Parlapiano

JANE Jane, you tore your dress Im so sorry that couldnt be there On your wedding day I write these words I just couldn't say We shared a life together And nothing's gonna come between us Jane I know its best Im so sorry that I kept you hanging without a net You were left with nothing to say We shared a love together Nothing's gonna come between us I cried an ocean Wishing I could relive the past Hoping for love that never lasts Jane I know its late But I cant rest till I hear you say that it was fate and I will never see you again We shared our lives together And nothing gonna come between us Nothings gonna come between us Š1997 Parlapiano

IN MY HIDING PLACE In my hiding place I think of all the wrongs I did and make them right In my hiding place I get back in the race and give them all another fight In my hiding place Where many fools have tread I think of broken promises and all the things you said It on mind this time No you tell me that it is another day Time to start brand new yeah I'll be on my way It's on my mind this time SOLO You came to me like a devil in the air Knew I was mistaken but still I took the dare I didn't mind at the time Comes a day when I boy becomes a man Leaves behind his childish ways To do the best he can It's on my mind This time In my hiding place I think of all the wrongs I did and make them right In my hiding place I get back in the race and give them all another fight (Spoken) I see the real reason for this twisted game Has been locked inside for many a year And there it shall remain Give me just a little courage Give me just a little strength Do you think I am important Can you teach me not to think? In my hiding place You think you see but never know the real me In my hiding place My feelings on the surface and I set them free In my hiding place I think and feel and move on to brand new day In my hiding place I remember there are feeling that never fade away Don't fade away Š1997 Parlapiano

EVERYTHING IS GOING MY WAY I'm so sick and tired of thinkin everything is alright Just when you get to bite the hand that feeds you Someone needs you and the door swings open Then you call it a nite Everything is going my way, Everything is going Everything is going my way, Everything is going Everything is going my way, Everything is going Everything is going my way Nothing makes me more depressed than to have a good time See my friends out of work, while Im sitting riding out of site out of mind not making a dime Everything is going my way, etc Just when you think you got it made Then is the time to be afraid Just when you think you're not alone That is the time for going home I'm so sick and tired of thinkin that somethings wrong Staying out all night with who knows who Getting a little for later Cause you know the good times aint for long Everything is going my way, etc Š1997 Parlapiano

ONE LOVE I was just a child And you made me slow down You had it rough And I was your clown I was a good clown Gave you everything you wanted You left without a sound Didn't you? One Love, Two Hearts In Chains I think I know what's missing One Love, Two Hearts Is anybody missing you? We'd been through it all Didn't try anymore Did we just forget Or where you keeping score Of the good times Now they fade away with anger It was the closest you got to living One Love, Two Hearts In Chains I think I know what's missing One Love, Two Hearts Is anybody missing you? Š 1997 Bonk/Parlapiano

LOVE IS A STRANGER Love is a Stranger A careful arrangment You wonder where time went Someone you thought was heaven sent Love is a Stranger You think that you got it made And no one else matter But no one else is saved Was I so wrong? Was I so wrong? Love is a Stranger A fork in the road bent Through the errors of innocence You now know what that last letter meant Love is a Stranger You're shutting the door on You lie awake and wonder How it ever lasted so long Was I so wrong? Was I so wrong? You look in the mirror See a face you haven't seen in a while You been thinking in circles Trying to get her off your mind Love is a stranger You wake up and face it Now nothing else matters It works at you bit by bit by bit Was I so wrong?

NO REAL LOSERS Elvis Presley was a cynic Never cared for him too much Though He always said a line about Brotherhood and love He really loved his mother Thought she was a queen Till he saw her on a barstool Never knew the reason He felt so much pain But then Elvis was a cynic He was hip to their game The wild ones and the hippies Never got no thrill Elvis took his Blue Hawaii and a fistful of pills. No real losers, just people that are lost No real losers, every action has it's cost There are no real losers Just winners with a bad attitude. Now James Dean loved the fast lane And many tales were sung About his rise to glory To live fast and die young He always played the rebel He always got the girl He played a little too fast. I never knew the reason He felt so much pain Then James, he was a cynic He was hip to their game Everyone around him Thought he was so cool Did he die for something To break all the rules No real losers, just people that are lost No real losers, every action has it's cost There are no real losers Just winners with a bad attitude. Take me away from the light, ma I feel like I'm losing my sight Everything looks so deranged. In a losers eyes. Now Marilyn Monroe That really was a chick She was in love with love With love she wouldn't quit She had the right idea But she gave up the fight Other people spent her money And helped her take her life I think I know the reason She felt so much pain But then Lord, I am a cynic I'm hip to their game She really was a victim But I still have a choice Integrity or money What I am I have a voice No real losers, just people that are lost No real losers, every action has it's cost There are no real losers Just winners with a bad attitude.
