Track Name: Blue Railroad Train
Blue Railroad Train

Blue railroad train, roll down the line
Blue railroad train, always on time
She came to me, one summer's day
Like summer wind, she blew away

You may go high, you may go low
But that railroad train, will always know

A distant star, cries at the sight
Of a shooting star, in the evening light
Beneath the moon, well I'm fading fast
This blurry moon, may be my last

You may go high, you may go low
But that railroad train will always know

Blue railroad train, roll down the line
Blue railroad train, no friend of mine
Blue railroad train, always on time
Blue railroad train, on down the line

Track Name: Why I Cry
Why I Cry

She said to me I want to be free
Please take-a me home
You were very nice food was perfect price
Now I wanna go home

But it's the brakes I tap for another lap
Sing along as we ride
Light a cigarette hopin' that she'll let
A man like me come inside

I say why why why why
Do you treat me this way
I just cry cry cry cry
If you leave me today

Hey baby now wontcha lay me down
and take a little rest
Oh no she wont go for that
Please get off-a my chest

She turns to me wanting me to leave
Time is up I can't come
Now playing with restricted rating
Night of the living no fun

I say why why why why
Do you treat me this way
I just cry cry cry cry
If you leave me today

Lonesome yellow moon risin' up too soon
Awake asleep and I moan
Bad dreams I had in my bamboo bed
Hound me when I'm alone

Baby can't you see that you want me to be
A man who decides on his own
Or maybe it's the feeling
Of losing once or twice
A manual sacrifice
Of something I found a long long time ago
Hey!

I say why why why why
Do you treat me this way
I just cry cry cry cry
If you leave me today

Hey baby now won't ya save me now
And take-a me home


(Morell/Beck)
Track Name: Hollywood Land
Hollywood Land

Woke up in some traffic I've been stranded here all day
But I ain't in no gold rush so I think I'm gonna stay
So I throw on my shades for a good chance of fame
The sun is always shining with it's critical acclaim
And when the sun goes down the stars will shine
Drinking light pollution drinking whats my next line
Just then I hear the bass from a funky place
Reminds me of a woman with a beautiful face

Sayin' have you ever been to Hollywood Land
Come on come on lemme take you by the hand
Good amount a people can get lost out here
Just searching for that spotlight in a vanity mirror
I ain't one of them she said and I can agree
Her lower back tattoo said she was made in Tennessee
Well we ain't got any money to go score with the band
So we go to the beach gonna lay in the sand

Well all you people marching in the street
Got to give your love to the brothas and sistas ya meet

I'm on the West side and a cover girl said
You don't have to pass the couch to star in bed
Weed is for teenagers who don't have no game
And cocaine is for grownups who insist on the pain
Well I got to run baby, well I gotta flee
The superficiality was getting to me
So I kissed her on the head and I head on the street
Looking for that reefer tokin' hippie kid beat

There ain't even no cigarette man in this land
Except fixed in an evil sinister hand
Of those fossil fuels and those corporate tools
Who want to concrete all of our American land
For it's a national holiday holy armed
Robbery shopping spree can can
I know it be the silliest thing
Exclaimed Thomas Jefferson to Abraham

Lincoln all you people marching in the street
Got to give your love to the brothas and sistas ya meet

Well powder my nose and sparkle my toes
Lemme plug a clip of my reality show
Bouncer Dean stood silently while fuck me pumps hissed
How can my name not be on the after party list
She opened her box office offering her lead parts
As she dreamed of magazines and climbing up the charts
Well now back to me I took a sheep herder's hook
And got that woman off so we could both take a look

Track Name: (Give Your Girl) The Whirl
(Give Your Girl) The Whirl

Oooo Everybody knows all around the world
All you want to do is dance to a beautiful girl
So friend you can take it from me
It's the best move there can be
So if you wanna please your girl
Give your girl the Whirl

The Whirl is like the twirl but this ain't on your feet
They'll stop and stare when you're movin' to the beat
She might say you're one of a kind
Meaning your the guy stayin' on her mind
And if you wanna please your girl
Give your girl the Whirl

Oooo Hey now all you sistas all around the world
Are ya feelin' a bit better now since the boys got the word
Cause now you have a man by your side
Singing Hallelujah with a tear in your eye
So if you wanna please your girl
Give your girl the Whirl
And if you wanna please your girl
Give your girl the Whirl
And if you wanna please your girl
Give your girl the Whirl


(Morell)
Track Name: Something Tells Me
Something Tells Me

Sailing stony coasts of teenage hue
When funny feelings fall in front of you

And something tells me that this love is true
And something tells me you wont leave me blue

Hope to see you soon
On a Sunday afternoon

And green eyes flutter oh so lovingly
And blue eyes they are livin' in a dream

Well all day and night I long for you and I cry
Cause all your love makes me feel ten foot high

Hope to see you soon
On a magic afternoon

Cause something tells me that this love is true
And something tells me you wont leave me blue


(Morell/Beck)
Track Name: Eighteen Years
Eighteen Years

Well I was thinking 'bout my woman I was thinking 'bout my heart
Said open up you crazy man before I can start
Well there's something going on here and I really like to know
Tell me heart what is it will it help me to grow

When I got to the city limits it was backed up of course
With old age and mystics I was on my horse
Well they said where have you been said I've been around
Ever since the sun was hid behind the clouds

Well a doctor ain't a doctor if he never had no patients
And a clerk ain't a clerk if their shit's not outrageous
So I take a squat by my bus stop wonderin' what in the world I may find
And I ask everybody what's the meaning of life

Well I was speaking in tongues I was speaking with no violence
And the villagers all said this is no town for tyrants
So I looked at them one second before getting on my horse
And that's the last second before their dreams came true
And everyone and everything will be just like you
And everyone and everything will be just like you

Well I know I have not won and I wonder whats the use
So I think and I think until I spill brain juice
On a pad of paper while my body is still living
Well everything is art and the best art is giving
Yeah everything is art and the best art is giving

Well I'm going back to California where the grass ain't always green
It's purple and urple and sometimes blue dream
I'm a creature of no habit made my eighteenth year birthday
And I never know what's coming cause I'm laughin' all the way


(Morell)
Track Name: Heartstrings
Heartstrings

Every day I'm sitting by my window
Starring out this lonely house of blues
Watching people shaking hands and laughing
Talkin' 'bout the good times they once knew
I still can hear your heartstrings softly playing
And the voice I hear each day belongs to you
But memories are all I have to play to
And heartstrings are the things I'm singing to

Singing 'bout the good times
Singing 'bout the good times
Singing 'bout the good times
And the times I had with you

Everyday I'm looking through the papers
Tryin' to find my name written in the news
Only today I found something rather salty
And it ain't the ring around my mixed drink blues
So you're getting married to an actor
He can play the biggest gangster you'll ever see
Well I find that funny honey darling
Cause I'm the real Al Pacino G

Singing 'bout the good times
Singing 'bout the good times
Singing 'bout the good times
And the times you had with me

The last time I saw you my heart was cryin'
Beating out the code for walk away
But there's one more thing I must attend to
There's one more thing I must say

Singing 'bout the good times
Singing 'bout the good times
Singing 'bout the good times
And our love of yesterday


(Morell/Beck)
Track Name: Space Junk
Space Junk

Lookin' out window today
I see the sun raining drops of rain
There's a ship rolling cross the sky
Say pick me up I wanna ride
Through the desert sky
Through day through night through vibrant light
Lookin' out window today
I see the sun raining drops of rain

Come on babe let's go dance in space
We're the last of the human race
Trippin' on potions and talkin' to machines
It's alright babe we're livin' in a dream

Baby baby baby wontcha come on down
There's a space ship comin' in to town
They wanna take us to the moon
Captain Planet Scooby Dooby Doo
So you're astronomical too
Oh yeah said I got the night watching blues
So baby baby baby wontcha come on down
There's a space ship leaving this town

Come on babe let's go dance in space
We're the last of the human race
Trippin' on potions and talkin' to machines
It's alright babe we're livin' in a dream
Come on babe let's go dance in space
We're the last of the human race

Track Name: The Perfect Crime
The Perfect Crime

She'll throw the blues on you, she's guaranteed to blow your mind
She'll throw the blues on you, she's a nasty little valentine
So don't be left standing there all alone at the scene of a crime

She'll never leave a clue, she'll walk away with every dime
She'll never leave a clue, she's an evil little mastermind
So don't be left standing there all alone at the scene of a crime

She had her eyes on you, waiting for the perfect sign
She had her eye's on you, planning for the perfect crime
Oh and now broken hearted all alone just doin' time

She'll throw the blues on you, she's guaranteed to rob you blind
She'll never leave a clue, she's an evil little mastermind
So don't be left standing there at the scene of a perfect crime


(Morell/Beck)
