Roger 04:08
lyrics

We used to be brothers We used to be friends All for one and one for all In our innocence Now the sun is burning high in the sky Now Mary she is telling me to run and hide Stay away from Roger On this dog day afternoon Stay away from Roger He's got a match and a rag and a can of lighter fluid The last time I saw Roger We might have had words He said he still loved Mary And that she loved him first If he can't have Mary and if I wanted to live He said that Mama's trailer should be his Stay away from Roger On this dog day afternoon Stay away from Roger He's got a match and a rag and a can of lighter fluid Well I've still got the trailer And I've got Mary too It took an hour to put out the fire I ruined my favorite shoes Now Roger's got some time on his hands Just to think it through You mess with your own brother it comes back to you Stay away from Roger On this dog day afternoon Stay away from Roger He's got a match and a rag and a can of lighter fluid © 1995 Martin Blasick

Tragedy 04:35
lyrics

I want to give you my stutter I want to take you home Light a spark on your body Call you my own My mind is a kettle Copper turned to black Baby light the fire Behind my back And now I'm leaving And now I'm seeing And now I'm leaving again And now I'm seeing again And now I'm leaving My heart is a carpet Fresh painted blood red Some good and part wicked Half live and half dead And now I'm leaving And now I'm seeing And now I'm leaving again And now I'm seeing again And now I'm leaving Tragedy...Tragedy...Tragedy...Tragedy I want to kiss you madly Under the Eiffle Bridge Jump from the Golden Gate Tower Into the Ocean Thames And now I'm leaving And now I'm seeing And now I'm leaving again And now I'm seeing again And now I'm leaving Tragedy...Tragedy...Tragedy...Tragedy © 1995 Martin Blasick

Flip The Bird 03:20
lyrics

It's good to have a friend every single day One who repeats everything I say He doesn't want go and change my ways When I talk he listens good but it don't mean a thing He stays inside his metal cage then I hear him sing Flip the bird Flip the bird Nothing gets to him he's got it under control He doesn't wonder if he's got a soul He couldn't care less if the truth be told All the news that's fit to print at the bottom of his cage Droppings on the fashion page the style that's all the rage Flip the bird Flip the bird Sometimes that's the way it goes Sometimes that's the way it is Sometimes that's the way it rolls...rolls He doesn't ever have to give a damn He doesn't care about Vietnam He just dreams of cruising the sky Flip the bird Flip the bird © 1995 Martin Blasick

Underneath The Sun 03:27
lyrics

The way you thrill me The way you move me You're getting to me, oh yeah A world of mystery Sweet harmony That's the real me...the real me Underneath the sun No one knows the way Underneath the sun No one knows no one knows the way There goes my sanity But evidently That's a good thing for me We're on a wild ride On the river of time Your mind is on-line log on Underneath the sun No one knows the way Underneath the sun No one knows no one knows the way I have always been a loner In spite of all my social grace I have always been a loser In my little lonely place Underneath the sun No one knows the way Underneath the sun No one knows no one knows the way No one knows no one knows the way No one knows no one knows the way © 1995 Martin Blasick.

Is There Anybody 04:04
lyrics

Don't turn away Let me see your face Don't run away And disappear without a trace John's got Jodi On his prison wall I know it isn't much But without love There is nothing Nothing at all Is there anybody that still can dream Is there any river that still runs clean I may be standing alone Standing all alone in a world that's gone cold I may be standing alone Standing all alone but still...I have my dreams Now I'm undercover I'm hiding from myself Cause when I see you baby I see nothing else Now you know that this is why I must have you to myself Cause when I have you baby I have everything I want Everything I need Is there anybody that still can dream Is there any river that still runs clean I may be standing alone Standing all alone in a world that's gone cold I may be standing alone Standing all alone but still...I have my dreams © 1995 Martin Blasick

48 States 04:26

48 states of blacktop asphalt Everybody says it’s always my fault 48 states of winding road Gotta keep going gotta carry my load 200 bridges over dry bed rivers The temperature drops and I get the shivers 2,000 signs of every kind Gotta keep going or I’ll lose my mind Put the pedal to the medal put your foot on the gas One by one every car gets passed Top off the tank put it in gear Gotta keep going ‘til I’m out of here 48 states of trash on the highway Dots the road like stars in the Milky Way 48 Stuckey’s selling peanut brittle I might stop in if I was little 200 sirens all shine red Nothing but trouble on the road ahead 2,000 miles of sun scorched pavement Stare into the sunset looking with amazement Put the pedal to the medal put your foot on the gas One by one every car gets passed Top off the tank put it in gear Gotta keep going ‘til I’m out of here ©1995 Martin Blasick

I wanna give I wanna give I wanna give my heart away I wanna give I wanna give I wanna give my heart away Will you have my love My heart my face My arms and my mouth My eyes and my selfish ways I’ve been so lonely in so many ways I’ve been so phony inside this maze In so many ways Alone in my cage Like a stone in the rain I drown In so many ways Last night I lay awake Until I had an epipheny Later on the sun rose And what was dark became clear to me I’ve been so lonely in so many ways I’ve been so phony inside this maze In so many ways Alone with my rage Like a stone in the rain I drown In so many ways The silence has worn me down I’m hungry for any sound Solitude is deafening Its tone an empty ring I’ve been so lonely in so many ways I’ve been so phony inside this maze In so many ways I'm tired and dazed Like a stone in the rain I drown In so many ways I wanna give I wanna give I wanna give my heart away © 1995 Martin Blasick I wanna give I wanna give I wanna give my heart away I wanna give I wanna give I wanna give my heart away Will you have my love My heart my face My arms and my mouth My eyes and my selfish ways I’ve been so lonely in so many ways I’ve been so phony inside this maze In so many ways Alone in my cage Like a stone in the rain I drown In so many ways Last night I lay awake Until I had an epipheny Later on the sun rose And what was dark became clear to me I’ve been so lonely in so many ways I’ve been so phony inside this maze In so many ways Alone with my rage Like a stone in the rain I drown In so many ways The silence has worn me down I’m hungry for any sound Solitude is deafening Its tone an empty ring I’ve been so lonely in so many ways I’ve been so phony inside this maze In so many ways I'm tired and dazed Like a stone in the rain I drown In so many ways I wanna give I wanna give I wanna give my heart away © 1995 Martin Blasick

Respect You More 03:33

Thunderball for a headache Lightning across my mind In a lust induced coma Your touch makes me go blind On our anniversary On the bearskin rug Over the sink in the back of the car I'm your nuclear sub I respect you more now that we've had sex I've been there before but baby you're the best No matter what you do I'll still be there for you I respect you more now that we've had sex I don't pass the bullshit I cannot tell a lie I love you so completely I feel like I could cry But enough of that psycho babble I see right through your blouse This is real did you take your pill? Let's go bump in the house I respect you more now that we've had sex I've been there before and baby you're the best No matter what you do I'll still be loving you I respect you more now that we've had sex If I opened up my heart Would it scare you away And if I let you in How long would you stay Thunder ball for a headache Lightning across my mind I love you so completely Your touch makes me go blind I respect you more now that we've had sex I've been there before and baby you're the best No matter what you do I'll still be there for you I respect you more now that we've had sex © 1995 Martin Blasick

Stay behind the lines don't touch anything Everything is fragile ain't that interesting Mind your manners baby Maybe there is something you can learn It's a myriad of mysteries right before your eyes Take the time to listen and I promise you will find The answers to your questions You know trust is something you must earn So hold on Get ready Cause I will be your guide On the tour Of the world inside my head Under lock and key I keep my memories I'll share it all with you if you find the key Once I let you in You can see the wheels as they turn So hold on Get ready I will be your guide On the tour Of the world inside my head © 1995 Martin Blasick

I've said it before and I'll say it again No one turns me on like the way you do From here on out it's all up to you I want to know what you're gonna do Hey, baby baby Hey, farmer's daughter Hey, morning glory Hey, china doll You turn on my Shangrilava Lamp Every time you walk into the room You turn on my Shangrilava Lamp You chase away the gloom from this room I am a blob floating down on the bottom Without your love I am here to stay Turn me on and I'll swim like a salmon Turn me on and I'm free to play Hey, little sister Hey, Amy Fisher Wanna play some twister Hey, sugar cane You turn on my Shangrilava Lamp Every time you walk into the room You turn on my Shangrilava Lamp You chase away the gloom from this room Sunday morning I will still be in our bed Yes I should be going but I’m staying here instead Monday morning we will still be in this bed Yes we should be going but we’re staying here instead Hey, little sister Hey, farmer's daughter Hey, morning glory Hey, china doll You turn on my Shangrilava Lamp Every time you walk into the room You turn on my Shangrilava Lamp You chase away the gloom from this room
