Lyrics

Best In the West (with Orchestra)

Verse
Some say it’s class some say it’s soul, others rap about it as if they know
some say it’s speed some say it’s style, but most look out windows for all of their lives
But I say it’s something that can’t be seen, it’s not on the goal line, it’s somewhere in between
some say it’s this, some say it’s that, others are assured they know where it’s at, oh baby baby

Chorus
I never sleep I never get no rest, I’ve been looking for the best in the west
I used to live beside the Crest, I began to wonder, well who’s the best
Who’s the best, the best in the west, who’s the best, the best in the west
who’s the best, the best in the west, who’s the best, the best in the west
Some super duper devil dandy dan, a winning combination game plan
a wonder woman or some superman, some new sensational soda pop can
Who’s the best, the best in the west, who’s the best, the best in the west
who’s the best, the best in the west, who’s the best, the best in the west

Verse
Some say it’s Paris that sets the trend, others say it’s Fifth Avenue that gets them in
there’s a lot of people out there, who couldn’t tell you the time of day
but when the criticism starts they’ve got plenty to say
But I say it’s something that just can’t be seen, it’s not on the goal line it’s somewhere in between
some say “yes, that’s right”, some say “no no no no no you’re wrong”
don’t tell me to keep it short when I know I like it long, oh baby baby


Asian Girls

Verse
Asian girls, they’re so fine
I can’t get all of them off my mind
everywhere that I go
I see all over the place
their eyes, a pretty face

Chorus
I been all over, all over the world
I’m getting older, I better settle down

Verse
Chinese girls, they’re so fine
I like their beautiful skin and their active minds
Taiwan girls, they’re so fine
they’re got reason to be audacious independence mimes

Chorus
I see they moved here want to get some of
our freedom lifestyle, it’s hard to beat you know


I'm Afraid of You

Verse
Why does this feeling of dread creep over me
Are your eyes blinded, why you cannot see
Surrounded by fools and the parasites
The truth will never leak out
Round and round as we circle the drain
And the endless lies spew from your mouth

Chorus
I’m afraid of you, I’m afraid of you, I’m afraid of you…

Verse
Not much of a stretch connect the dots
cause everyone get screwed the haves and have not’s
yeah I’m takin’ my wife gonna bug out of here
get caught up in the clouds
but you saps that are left behind
you better run you better watch out

Chorus
I’m afraid of you, I’m afraid of you, I’m afraid of you…

Verse
Trillions in debt and civil unrest
hardened hearts are all that is left
chaos and bedlam looters and thieves
kiss goodbye utopian dreams
when good is bad and bad is good
in a twinkling of an eye the trumpet sings

Chorus
I’m afraid of you…


Help Yourself

Verse
You talk about suicide and things that make you feel depressed
I’m here to help you my friends I’m here
individualized treatment plan

Chorus
And what if you don’t help yourself
we’re all on our own in the chess game of life we play
how can we survive this life without some divine entity
do, do, do…

Verse
You gotta twelve step yourself and share
share some pain with your peers
go back in the world my friend survive
I’ll see you on Thursday night

Chorus
And what if you don’t help yourself
we’re all on our own in the chess game of life we play
how can we survive this life without some divine entity
do, do, do…


Falling Star

Verse
Sand falling in a hour glass
But time, the time never seems to pass
Unfinished songs
Fragments ‘til the end of time
Set adrift, and never rhyme

Verse
Jack, tell us how the sun shines on
you were here, and now you’re gone
oh brother dear, we shake our heads in disbelief
broken chords, broken dreams

Chorus
And so we carry on
With hopeful hearts
and wait for another falling star
the morning brings, another day
we wait as the seconds tick away, tick away

Verse
Sand falling in a hour glass
But time, the time never seems to pass
Unfinished songs
Fragments ‘til the end of time
Set adrift, and never rhyme

Chorus
And so we carry on
With hopeful hearts
We’re waiting for a falling star


Garage Band

Verse
Just another car in the freeway traffic
Just another garage band in a city full of two-car garages, garages

Just another light in a city full of lights
Just another kite in a sky dotted with kites a flyin’, a flyin’

Chorus
You don’t need no four eyed loud mouth a calling your name
you don’t need no stick of butter to get your way

Verse
Everyone’s a skeptic that knows what I can do
but they’d never bite down on what I can chew
and spit out on you

Just another lover with something to say
just another garage band that’s ready to play
while you get loose

Chorus
You don’t need no shiny uptown microphone
you don’t need no patty cake séance to get you known
you don’t need no daytime shit job to get you paid
you don’t need no Rainbow wenches to get you laid

Verse
I don’t lay down the heat so I can live in Malibu
I don’t play and not eat to satisfy you only me, only me

Many nights of pain written in every line
just a lost in the crowd garage band in a city full of two-car garages

Chorus
You don’t need no five thousand dollars to buy a P.A.
you don’t need no five hundred miles of recordin’ tape
