The Business of Getting Down
(from The Doubble Donkey Disc)

When I woke up this morning I knew what I had to find 
Somewhere there exists a melody that'll make you change your mind 
So I got down to business, did the best that I could do 
Still nothing from these lonely foreign lips could be good enough for you

Chorus:
If you want to run, put the pedal to the metal 
Tell me that we're done, whistling like a kettle
I know you think you've won, but we've still got a score to settle 
So I step on the pedal that means metal

If we had just one minute alone, I know what I would say 
This world and I are nothing now, but you make me want to stay 
If you'd drop by to see me again, I'd open up the door 
And get down to all that matters now, which is getting down once more 
(chorus)

Get down to business, the business of getting down (8x)
Get down!

You Know The Story
(from The Doubble Donkey Disc)

Check her out
She's got looks
I've only seen in storybooks 
I had one once
Read it through
Now it's long overdue 

I asked her out
She gave me looks
I've only seen on mean old crooks 
I had my chance
Now we're through
It's been so long, I'm overdue 

What's so wrong with me and you? 
It's been so long, I'm overdue 
I'm overdue 

Return me back to you 
You know the story (4x)
(instrumental)

Astronaut, cosmonaut, send us up, best you've got 
Once I'm out way too far, I'll beam you shots from the stars 
As long as you promise to return me back to you 
You know the story (8x)

Immigration Song
(from The Doubble Donkey Disc)

So it ends 
Round and round the propeller spins 
Seat backs up, no tray tables down 
No turning back to this country town

I already knew blue eyed girl 
Would be halfway around the world 
(2x)
(instrumental)

Break it down for a brother
Tell me now all about
I can't wait for another
Another way to get down

Air gets thin 
Round and round the propellor spins 
Round and round like a carousel 
Round and round feeling not as well

I already knew blue eyed girl 
Would be halfway around the world
(2x)

I can feel it in these undertones 
A fair, light one to have alone 
I can see it in the lights below 
Pilots, mechanics take me home
(instrumental)

Continental Drift
(from The Doubble Donkey Disc)

I'm bored, you're boarding the 504 out of town 
It's late, so look straight, don't pull your eyes off the ground 
You sit and wait across the gate, the minutes stretch themselves so long 
You'll never be my destiny, because my destination's wrong

Right coast, left coast 
Drifting round and round 
I'm lost, always, and I know I can't be found
 
Who made these customs I can't seem to get past? 
It's no use, since you've been born into a higher class 
When I want you, and only you, somehow your baggage comes along 
And it never stops, no, it never stops, until I'm back where I belong 

Right coast, wrong coast 
Drifting round and round 
I'm lost, always, and I know I can't be found

You can't see me across this great divide 
I'm lost, always, if I'm not right by your side

Back where I belong (8x)

If I Only Had A Heart
(from Rock And Roll Part Three)

I'd give my heart
If you'd give your attention
But when I look
There's just an open trench, and baby
I can't stand to see you, girl
Showing off your silver party dress
No, you can't come over now
The house ain't neat
My room's a mess

I'd give my heart
To just be in contention
But I sold it off
At the baseball card convention
I can't stand to see you, girl
Rubbing motor oil on all your joints
No, I ain't no straight 'A' whiz
But I could learn
That's not the point
I'll plot my points

I'd give my heart
If I had one for giving
I'd give my heart
Your lips could keep me living
I'd give my heart
And always be forgiving
I'd give my heart
If I had one for giving

Los Angeles
(from Songs of Inaudible Trucks & Cars)

Each Friday night
I've gotta moan
Cause it's not right
To be alone
And I'm alone

And so I sleep
And wake at dawn
And leave before
The moon is gone
I know it's wrong

I've gotta find some way outta here
Jump on a plane then I'll disappear
Maybe east of Ohio
Maybe that's where I oughta go
Cause living here I've got so down
I've got to try got to leave town
And find some place I haven't found
Cause I know that you'll be there waiting

Chorus:
Back back honey
Take me back baby
I wanna stay in LA
Back back honey
Take me back sugar
I wanna stay

When I get home
The house is dark
The only sound
Is Joey's bark

Been searching for another place a while
Seen every town up in Northern Cal
Been searching further every country mile
I saw New York and I like its style
But still I gotta say I love L.A. (We love it!)
I guess that's why I feel I've gotta stay
The hot streets and the summer nights
So lonely
(chorus)

I know it's sad but I love LA
It's even sadder that I'm here to stay
I might vacation on an isle away
But this is where I'll spend my dying day
So now it's time for me to get a wife 
And live in town with her for all of my life
I'll understand when my hair turns grey
Why I
I live in LA

Gameover
(unreleased)

You're hot, stop and drop and roll
I'll jump in the swimming hole
So I can hear your cheers
I've seen all the episodes
I know all the secret codes
And where I go
I don't need roads

I'm flying over (over)
I'll fly right over, baby

2P, you take my control
Teach me how to rock n roll
Or I'll fall down and die
I'll bet you don't know where to find
Our extra life times 99
I know you've tried but still we died

This game is over (over)
This game is over, baby
This love is over now

Waited. Now I feel safe
Is there no peace in your heart for a brother

Reset, can't reset the tears
So sad princess isn't here
She's hiding out with all my fears

Our game is over
This game is over
This game is over
This game is over
Over over this game is over

ShootingStars
(from Rock And Roll Part Three)

I finally feel at ease
I'm on an eastern breeze
I blows me to the shore
Come back to kiss my dear
Come back to face my fears
It can't be worse than war
Unless you say
That you gave your heart away
Unless you say
That I shouldn't have returned
And in that case
I'll go

Every night I see a shooting star
And wonder if it's landing where you are
If you can see it then you can't be far
And if that's the way you do it
That's the way you find your love

The air is cold and thin
I'm on my second wind
It blows me to your door
Lean into the bell and press
You're in a brand new dress
I've never seen before
But then you say
That you gave your heart away
And then you say
That I shouldn't have returned
So I turn my face and go

Everytime I take a look around
I find myself looking down
To a place that's looking much more round
I find myself looking down

Every night I see a shooting star
And wonder if it's landing where you are
If you can see it then you can't be far
And if that's the way you do it
That the way you'll find your love

Apple Trees
(from Rock And Roll Part Three)

Deep inside my eye there is part of you
You still look the same
Except you're grown up know
So much time has past since I saw you last
An apple pie
The number pi
I studied you in math class
And did all my work, but never got your digits
Take a number like 5 times 10 times 10 again
500 miles of apple orchards to defend

Deep inside my core
There is part of you
You still look the same
Except you're upside down
Why are you still in my eye?
Will your memory ever die?
An apple tree
A family tree
We'll plant ours together
And the roots will hold forever and forever
So what can I say?
I won't delay
I'm leaving today
500 miles of apple orchards in my way

A mackintosh
A Macintosh
You messaged me all winter
And I wrote replies
But still felt like a loser
Pack an apple to eat
Go hit the street
Get on your feet
500 miles of apple orchards til we meet
So I'm taking a stand
With apple in hand
I pull up my sleeve
It's time that I make like an apple tree and leave

Battlescars
(from Rock And Roll Part Three)

Of all the shooting stars I know
I never felt at ease with anyone but you
Don't ever wonder where I go
Remember that the grass still grows beneath the snow
When everything around turns blue
Just fall asleep and wake when it's all through

There's battlescars on all my guitars
But still I come out here and play

But now I've lost your touch again
And now I'm only one in twenty thousand men
I promise not to let you go alone
Just close your eyes and sleep right through the falling snow
And when I finally wash ashore
I'm coming back to kiss the girl I kissed before
Of all the shooting stars I knew
I never fell for anyone but you

There's battlescars on all my guitars
But I still come out here and play
There's battlescars on my face and my arms
But you still kiss me everyday
There's battlescars on all my guitars
But I still come out everyday
There's battlescars on my face and my arms
But you still kiss me anyway
