down on franklin st

211 franklin street

cobble stones underneath our feet

gyro bob with his food that smells so sweet

and millions of people, and live drum beats

down on franklin street

mr.coats no stranger to the keys

playing big town music for small town fees

it taste so good, it must of come from bees

couldn't find some place else unless it grew on trees

franklin street

down on franklin street

everybody knows your name

down on franklin street

we are so glad that you came

down on franklin street

L.B.G's and best-believe me's

you could find us every tuesday

down at panini's

getting drunk on martini's

humble like Pat Sweaney

down on franklin st.

a kiss is just a kiss

a hug is just a hug

and everybody's chilling

serve the drinks up by the mugs

smoking, tokin, joking

cut ourselves a rug

listen to the blues

the house band at mugs

down on franklin street

and there's Ang behind the bar

and ocean playing her guitar

and if you listen there is a water fall

and a smile of the face of it all

down on franklin street.

fly

i will be the breeze

blowing through your hair

i will be the breeze

live without a care

i will be the sunshine

shining on your face

i will shine shine shine

you and i will shine.

you will be the water

splashing in the sea

like the summer rain

you would come down cleanse me

you will be the flower

you will smell so sweet

you'd be sweet.

in a world full of  people

we would walk alone

you and i together

in your stars we would roam

you and i together

just you and me

you and i forever

for eternity

we will be butterflies

flight in honey breeze

we will be butterflies

fly above the trees

we will be butterflies

just you and me

we will be free.

i will breeze

blowing through your hair

i will be the sunshine

shining everywhere

you will be the water

splashing in the sea

you will be the flower

cause you smell so sweet

we will butterflies

just you and me

we will be butterflies

we will fly.

fly.

fly. fly fly

why aren't you looking

i'd like the cream soda from your tongue

you look some damn fine

and you're so damn fun

sitting there in the green grass

and if you ask me

you have a real nice

but you didn't ask me

nah, you just sitting there

writing with your pen

you'd make a blind man see

and a preacher sin

you make my legs feel funny

and my blood feel thin

why aren't you looking at me

(look at me)

a butterfly, i'd set you free

(set you free)

sweet honey, my bumble bee

(look at me)

why aren't you looking at me

you think your too damn good

and your nose is high

but the song i sing

surely will catch your eye

you think your fine

and your shit don't stink

but i would tickle your ass

till face turns pink

i am a bag of bones

i got no muscle tones

but i could cut a rug

but not all alone

you could give me your number

and i will give you a call

and i am sure butterfly

we could have a ball

why aren't you looking at me

(look at me)

a butterfly, i'd set you free

(set you free)

sweet honey, my bumble bee

(look at me)

why aren't you looking at me

baby, we are like the sun and moon

baby...like midnight and noon

baby, your eyes like sunlight beams

i am going to leave them there

for the summertime dreams

why aren't you looking at me

(look at me)

a butterfly, i'd set you free

(set you free)

sweet honey, my bumble bee

(look at me)

why aren't you looking at me

props

hey girl, i'm standing at your front door

it's raining, and i am going to knock some more

if you're not home, i want to know for sure

cause you're my shelter, and my cure

hey girl, i am standing at your front door

giving you props

you make the sun shine in my sky

it never rains on my side of the street

the tide follows, the pulse of your heart beat

how sweet

my life it started right inside of you

with out your smarts i would have no clue

you are where i am from,

where i claim true

just to show our love, we could drink a few

and in a song give all the props to you

give in the props

you make the sun shine in my sky

it never rains on my side of the street

the tide follows, the pulse of your heart beat

how sweet

finally to the man up above

i will represent, and show my love

cause its from your hands

that's where i am from

going to preach the word

because you taught me some

and those that don''t

their day will come.

you make the sun shine in my sky

it never rains on my side of the street

the tide follows, the pulse of your heart beat

how sweet

honey breeze

warm outside and summer rains

just the two of us,

making love like the red and white on candy canes

chocolate coated, candy wine

sweet honey breezes, and a lack of time

my mother's hummed tune

shortly pass noon

honey breezes

all in this place

warm sunshine

all in this place

porch swings are dreaming in visions of new

my face shines so bright from stars inside of you

we would wrestle in the leaves, we'd make love

like fairytales, do you believe?

honey breezes

all in this place

warm sunshine

all in my face

warm sunshine

all in my face

anna's song

to you I say I will  left you off the ground

so you can see the light

fly you higher than the clouds above

let's drift away into the night

let the oceans run thru our veins

tides of love and skies of blue

shades of red sparkle in your eyes

as the sun in my soul sets on you

when I look at you I see a light deep inside

floating free, a powerful tide

spinning in and out of time

above the stars casting rays of light

they shine down on your face

into your eyes so you can  see what I see

you say to me in a silent way

I want to know something real

I say to you in my shy way

I want to know how you feel

the stars wear white to be seen in the sky

casting down rays of light by your side

a shadow so bright with beams flowing thru

into my heart straight to you

I can see a light deep in side of you

sleep

it's 2am, i'm alone

i wish i could call you on the telephone

why aren't you here

sleep is far

dreams are near

my eyes grow tired

but my my mind won't retire

lay your head down

so i feel you breath

i am so tired

that i can't sleep

and she says

you turn my will's to won't's

turn my do's to don'ts

lay my head on my love

you come to my like an angel

lay your head down

so i feel you breath

i am so tired

that i can't sleep

and she says

lay your head down

so i feel you breath

i am so tired

i'd use your heart beat

puts me to sleep

stars

I need some rest, I am so tired

your weight is on my back

it's pulling me down

in a world that's so hard

love is so hard to find

you were my queen,

where is your crown gone now

under the night (just me and the stars)

give me a pillow and

I'll wrap myself in stars

away from you my world is bright

just give me a pillow

and I'll wrap myself in stars

each step I take leads me from you

I step to the horizon

night shades of blue

we walk under the stars

a lot on my mind between the bars

it swallows you up and up and up

it's all on my mind

i hope that i don't fall in love

well i hope that i don't fall in love with you

cause falling in love makes me blue

the music plays and display

a part for me to see

i have a beer, and now i hear

you calling out to me

and i hope that i don't fall in love with you

the night does funny things inside a man

and these tom cat feelings you won't understand.

i turn around and look at you

and light a cigarette

i wish i had the guts to bum one

i haven't started yet.

and i hope that i don't fall in love with you

the bar was crowded, people everywhere

and i thought i might pull you up a chair

if you'd sit down with this skinny clown

take your frown and break it

if things keep, like they ought to

i am sure we're going to make it

and i hope that i don't fall in love with you

you are looking lonesome just like me

and i thought that you might like some company

and i turn around to look at you

catch you looking back at me

the guy you're with is up and split

the chair next to you's free

and i hope that you don't fall in love with me

it's closing time, music fading out

last call for drinks, so i have another stout

i turn around to look at you

and you're no where to be found

i search the place for your lost face

and i have another round

cause i think that i just fell in love with you.

lightyears

momentarily the drums go bang

and the bass goes boom

everybody feel this in the whole damn room

one short walk on a long driveway

to get you up out your house

each and every day

open your ears to hear what i say

you got to remember, realize

its in the music you play

not in the past because we live for today

got to get your shit together

before it slips away

put your head upon your shoulders

without delay, believe in god

he's right inside, you got to learn to pray

take you lightyears away.

shake your everything

my goggles saw the day the rain came

you should be ashamed and feel so damn lame

in your poverty stricken souped up domain

how do you remain with

shattered dreams you can't obtain

a sink with no drains

complains, retains a few carpet stains

and a dirty curtain

get up get out break free from all the chains

shake your everything

mirror mirror on the wall

the man keeps stepping

he's sure to fall

i am not a hater

cause i don't cater to the needs of the whole

got the James Brown soul

i do what i do

just play with the crew

i keep writing the funky rhymes

that i write for you

i use to get down like it was my calling

laying  down shit like Bootsy Collins

got to keep moving

cause i got no time

like the red chili peppers

just smell my slime

got that shit that got you all in check

whooohaaa

at the disco tech.

shake your everything
