Have you on the mend in no time flat A shimmy and a shake, a pitter and pat Hey there sugar-- Take a look at that!Don't you despair 'cause your fantasy life is nowhere Under my care you'll be back in the pink Drunk without a drinkTunnel down in soft silk and satin Loosen up and roll to the rumble of the drum Make believe it's midnite in Manhattan 0 minutes till the savages comeCome here and don't look back-- Meet me at the end of the cul-de-sac Come on! Stand up at attention and I'll do the same Hey there tiger, now don't you be ashamedLife has a way of destroying our sense of child's play But under my wing you'll be back in the pink Drunk without a drinkTunnel down in soft silk and satin Let your backbone roll to the rumble of the drum Make believe it's midnite in Manhattan 0 minutes till the savages comeSigmund Freud himself wouldn't need to worry If his hands were tied by me There's no neurosis that this doctor can't diagnose I'll find the monster and deliver a lethal doseLife has a way of destroying our sense of child's play But under my wing you'll be back in the pink Drunk without a drink |

It was cool in the fifties scattin' to
jazz and be-bop It was the sound they were throwin' down From LA to New York and in every townAnd with the rhythm in your souls Add a hip-hop and bop n' just so ya know This thing it's back swing is king, call it New JackWhat goes around, comes around (And that's the way it goes) What goes around comes around and comes around Like that, a riff and a rhythm What goes around, comes around (And that's the way it goes) What goes around, comes around Like that, like thatRound, round and round round we go Round, round and round round we goPeople stomped in the cities jumpin' to the groove of the music They rocked and jammed with the hipster clan In the clubs, in the streets and on every beat And with the be-bop in their souls They took the swing thing and started to roll And now it's a fact a little hip-hop and bop has found a way back Be-bop, hip-hop, hep hop don't stop Be-bop, hip-hop, add pop don't stopBix he had a bag of tricks Parker came along exactly when he changed the mix Sax made a bang, Monk made a change And be-bop laid the tracks for the Coltrane They were getting busy, a trumpet pumped Your head got Dizzy and you started to bump They had a style, beat was the backbone You could see for Miles, Mr. Philly Joe JonesYou may not realize swing was here before Because it's disguised and we've added so much more The time is now to show you how to get the groove into your shoesRound, round and round round we go Round, round and round round we go What goes around and round Must come around and around |

Scarecrow, weathered and weary
Fragile and old beyond his years Here we are-- chosen In your eyes, the truth lies frozenSoldier in the city heat Refugee on every street And life goes by Standing in the pouring rainHe's a gentleman with a family A gentle man, living day to day He's a gentleman with pride, one may conclude Sign reads, "Gentleman with a family will work for food"Shadows haunting his tired eyes Reaching beyond the empty hand Here we are, the chosen In your eyes, the truth lies, frozenSoldier in the city heat Refugee on any street And life goes by An apostle to those worn out souls |

Lost in a feelin'
so very deep inside of me Something's not healing ever since you left this place Oh, but I loved you and although I didn't know you Just the idea of you brought rapture to my faceI feel I almost got to know you At least you made it to my heart Even though we'll always be a world apart Now I'm getting on without you But I need to cry sometimes Cause I know we'll always be a world apartVoices of children - In the streets I hear them laughing It all fades to one voice I hear crying in the night I think about you wondering if you're out there listening As if the words I sing will somehow bring you lightWell I almost got to know you At least you made it to my heart But I know we'll always be a world apart Now I'm getting on without you But there's a shadow in my heart 'Cause I know we'll always be a world apartSeems I almost got to know you At least you made it to my heart But I know we'll always be a world apart Through the constancy of memory You will live inside my heart Then we'll never have to be a world apartOver and over I never knew how much till you were gone Over and over and over you will be mine eternally |

After the crash when you're
strolling thru the ruins alone Pick up the phone When you feel twisted, honey, I'm listed Confide in me, confide in meGot no degree But I'm strong on tears and careless hearts, brave new starts You know I'm a big fan and I got a program If you'll just confide in meWe'll sit in my kitchen babe, Drink lotsa coffee babe You'll begin just where you left off And you can tell how high you flew and how you fell And I'll make your landing softMy place is cute And it's kind of comfortable in a storm, safe and warm We'll throw open the nighttime and let in the sunshine If you'll just confide in me, just confide in meYes I'm strong on careless hearts I'm strong on brave new starts Confide in me, I'll hold your hand Confide in me, I'll understand You say you've slipped, made a mistake Confide in me, for goodness sakes |

In ancient times great fear arose among the inhabitants of Tiahuanacu, the Spaniards were coming into their lands. The Indians retreated to their houses in great fear and closed themselves in total isolation without food or water. They sat down in great sorrow with knees bent and heads bowed (they are called Chullpas) and died. They were buried in this position. Others froze to death in a standing position like stone monoliths (monolitos). The Indians who live there today are very poor - no clothes or food. They seek a better life and move to the cities where they learn to read, write and do any kind of work. They earn money and don't want to return to their homelands.Night calls through the air reaching for its solitude Dusk lures like a lyre beckoning the quietudeIn state of constant commotion full of rage and heartless devotion There's a need that burns within to fly away, just fly awaySoft winds kiss the land silent and in gratitude Children hand in hand comprehend the quietude Through a maze of fear and compulsion There's a race for the power and fortune Still a need within cries out to fly away, just fly awayPeople rush, people flee, they move so fast that they cannot see Work all day, up all night, they push and hide all the joy inside Like a wave that breathes in the ocean and the mountains peak with emotion There's a need that calls within to find a way, just find a wayTime to leave and fly away, to take a leave and castaway To leave the worries and the dismay, it's time to go, it's time to play it's...Time now to fly away, take leave and castaway To fly... The moon it guides my way, winds blow to show the way To fly...Dawn breaks, day descends With a calming attitude Shadows fall and bend Welcome in The Quietude |
