- Angels Must Smile Like That
Woke up lying in her garden bed
The sun came up behind her head
I touched her hair,
then brushed it back
Oh, angels must smile like that
She's a picture of the world
- Built Her a Cloud
I've got a princess who
wears a second hand dress
She tells me "Baby,
I know you've done your best"
Though I've found comfort
In the love we vowed
I can't help thinkin' that I've
- Chicken Crosses the Road
So you concede
You're on the spot
Find all you need
In what you've got
And run
Everybody come
To the otherside
It's all right
- Dancing on Light
Heart, warming in the afterglow
Right here, where I see the world below
Time stands still when the thunder rolls
With a thousand angels singing
And every bell is ringing
I go
Oh oh oh oh Dancing on Light
- Ever After
She makes her way to the factory
She's living this side of the rainbow
Oh, broken hearts giving up on "happy ever after"
She seldom cries
She's gotten used to steel-grey skies
Out to the train, thru the turnstile
Down to the city he goes
- Here He Comes, Second Time
Bop! Bomp!
Eddie saves money and time
He puts them in a bottle for Sue
They'll have the rest of their lives
To figure out what they wanna do
Get that operation
It's a facial reconstruction
Or a second television
- One More Time
Gone beyond the gate
We must all pass some day
You took a part of me
A broken heart left here to play
This sad/sweet music
The air that I breathe fills me with longing
I thought that I saw your face in the crowd
But that couldn't be
- Papa Danced on Olvera Street
Across the way from Union Station
is our family's favorite stand
You can take a seat and
eat and drink,
hear the mariachi bands
L.A.'s oldest road is a market place
run by charming and kind latinos
You'll ignore faint scents of sewage
- Picture of You
In my weary soul I hold
The treasure of Your ever-present love
It's never dark enough to put me out
or take me down
Out of reach, out of bounds
So deep and wide (pictures of You)
So clear and bright
- Pie Hole
I'm all for strong women
and what they have to say
They deserved liberation
Same work, equal pay
I like restaurants or parties
with mixed company
but there's times I like hangin' out
with just my buddies and me
- Song of Innocence
A child floating down on a cloud in the sky
Said "Sing me a song 'bout a lamb"
So I sang and he smiled, so I sang again
As he placed a reed in my hand
And with my rural pen I stained the water clear
And wrote this song for every little child to hear
- Ten Gallon Hat
I'll put a ten gallon hat
over my devil horns
I'll lasso the sunset, in fact
I'll wear it like a uniform
They'll say "There goes one good man!"
I might fool 'em for another day
then at the crack of one glorious dawn
I'll ride away
- The Twist
hang on, believe
there's nothing up my sleeve
i've got no magic tricks to save the day
put down the gun
you're not helping anyone
and i'm not about to run or back away
don't walk the fence
- Waiting
I'm waiting for the endless dawn
I'm looking out for clouds to walk upon
The sun's rising, in a golden sky, rising
Waiting for You
I am here, waiting here for You
I'm waiting for the happy end
I'm looking for the time to start again
- With What I Should Have Said
When I'm by myself
I'm quite the magician
with the turn of the phrase
and the juxtaposition
But give me a crowd
and watch me go fishin'
Turn up the heat
and I'm out of the kitchen
