THE VALIANT DENIAL
(Hughes/Marsh)
You've been misled
By the thoughts in your head
Entangled with your dark endeavor
Your angels tread
And the blood has been shed
I'm telling you it's now or never
Lost in a stream
With you own malady
For as long as you know
And forever
In god you depend
When it comes to the end
Such a long way to go
Such a long way to go
The valiant denial
The great untold
The valiant denial
The lies unfold
The valiant denial
The great untold
I wonder why
And you never reply
It's always the same with your ego
Caught in a lie
I just cannot rely
You're filled with the shame
But you don't know
You raise the shield
You will never be healed
Such a long way to go
Such a long way to go
The valiant denial
The great untold
The valiant denial
The lies unfold
The valiant denial
The great untold
The valiant denial
STEPPIN' ON
(Hughes/Marsh)
Load it up now hear the gun
Ain't got time waiting for the sun
I gotta generator
I need a little funk to go
Load it up now make it real
Somebody gotta take the wheel
I need a regulator
I like a little rodeo
I confess, I tell you yes
And it's a bust
Find me an hourglass
Burn the flame, gonna make it last
I gotta a movin' violation
You kill me now, you got to know
I confess, I tell you yes, and it's a bust
I'm insane, I feel no pain
Forgiven, I'm livin', I'm driven
I got a lone vision, precision, decision
So make it go faster, I gotta, outlast ya
I'm a low-rider, beside ya
I'm steppin' on
I tell you every detail
Won't you let the sucker derail
Cuz the music's my religion
I need a new place to dwell
Gotta find me an hourglass
Burn the flame, gonna make it last
Gotta a movin' violation
You kill me now, you got to know
I confess, I tell you yes, and it's a bust
I'm insane, I feel no pain
Forgiven, I'm livin', I'm driven
I got a lone vision, precision, decision
So make it go faster, I gotta outlast ya
I'm a low-rider beside ya
I'm steppin' on
MONKEY MAN
(Hughes/Marsh)
I don't, really want to suffer
Earthquake, in the engine room
You scream, you don't get enough a
I shake, when you pack the boom
You don't relay
You don't accept
You will be swept away
I won't delay
I only want to say
I'll tell you something for nothin'
I'm not your monkey man
Now I'm gonna send you a letter
Cuz I'm not your monkey man
It's so real
it's so real
it's so real
Glad rags, you have got me thinking
You creep behind my back
My bags have been packed, I'm swearin'
I reap, just what you lack
I won't delay
I only want to say
I'll tell you something for nothin'
I'm not your monkey man
Now I'm gonna write you a letter
Cuz I'm not your monkey man
It's for real
It's for real
it's for real
You don't relay
You don't accept
You will be swept away
I won't delay
I only want to say
I'll tell you something for nothin'
I'm not your monkey man
Now I'm gonna send you a letter
Cuz I'm not your monkey man
I'll tell you something for nothin'
I'm not your monkey man
Now I'm gonna write you a letter
Cuz I'm not your monkey man
It's for real
It's for real
it's for real
THIS HOUSE
(Hughes/Marsh/Smith)
I'll keep the present that you bring
You know it's part of everything
Your perfume lingers in the air
There is nothing left to do
You know it's me, I know it's you
You are the ghost in every room
You always take away the gloom
You are no ordinary friend
There is nothing left to do
You know it's me, I know it's you
I'll sacrifice myself
Now don't you go away
This house
Has never known the sadness
And it's,
This house
It doesn't hold a secret
Anymore
It was built on love
I'll bring a rose and juniper
We'll float away across the earth
High on a cloud we live as one
There is nothing left to do
You know it's me, I know it's you
This house
Has never known the sadness
And it's,
This house
It doesn't hold a secret
Anymore
It was built on love
I'm wondering why
I wanna see your face
Cuz I can't take it anymore
We're lost in a time
And it's so hard to fake it
Will you open up the door?
This house
Has never known the sadness
And it's,
This house
This house
Has never known the sadness
And it's,
This house
It doesn't hold a secret
And it's,
This house
It doesn't hold a secret
Anymore
It was built on love
YOU GOT SOUL
(Hughes/Marsh)
Down in Saint Jude's hall, you star in a play
You're ready to free fall, the children do say
Euphoric recall will take you away
Underneath your skin
I know that you travel, on your astral plane
The deepest respect, can your hear my refrain
So nice to meet you, when I was in Spain
Underneath my skin
Here it comes again
Say yeah, yeah yeah
You got soul
You got soul
You ain't done nothin' wrong
The flesh is weak, but the spirit is strong
You got soul
You got soul
I knew it all along
Your eyes do speak, when I sing my song
The Dalai Lama do whisper and say
Deep in your karma the demon you slay
You be the one and you blow me away
Underneath my skin
Here it comes again
Say yeah, yeah yeah
You got soul
You got soul
You ain't done nothin' wrong
The flesh is weak, but the spirit is strong
You got soul
You got soul
I knew it all along
Your eyes do speak, when I sing my song
Underneath my skin
Here it comes again
Say yeah, yeah yeah
You got soul
You got soul
You ain't done nothin' wrong
The flesh is weak, but the spirit is strong
You got soul
You got soul
I knew it all along
Your eyes do speak, when I sing my song
FRAIL
(Hughes)
She sits alone in the hall
And soon she'll climb the stairs
To her room, she's so lonely
With sadness and despair
She can hear the static
Vast is the canvas, she painted
To justify the cause, of her life
In her childhood
She barely spoke a word
She was so dramatic
She's leavin' the world of the livin'
She's so frail
God only knows she's been given
She's so frail
And you know she's going back
To a place she calls home
Frozen in time, there's a picture
That stands upon a shelf
And the fire's last ember
It burns in silent grace, for a new tomorrow
Leavin' the world of the livin'
She's so frail
God only knows she's been given
She's so frail
And you know she's going back
To a place she calls home
Lost in a dream, there's a window
Of opportunity
Soon she'll join all her loved ones
That wait behind the door
Take away the sorrow
She's leavin' the world of the livin'
She's so frail
And god only knows she's been given
She's so frail
She's leavin' the world of the livin'
She's so frail
And god only knows she's been given
She's so frail
And you know she's going back
To a place she calls home
She calls home
She calls home
She calls home

BLACK LIGHT
(Hughes/Marsh)
You fly with the locust
Down in the western sky line
But you're out of focus
In every way you design
The crux of the matter
You've taken the life of my friend
Her dreams you did shatter
They're takin' you down to the end
You always wanted to be right
You never wanted to stay
You are a soul burnin' too bright
Your guardian angel did say
Into the black light, you will go
Into the black light, you will know
I hope you can hear me
You lie alone in your cell
And you never be free
You live in your own private hell
I know Johnny Lennon, is watching the curse of your fate
There's too many people
Too frightened to speak
Of your hate
You are a soul burnin' too bright
Your guardian angel did say
Into the black light, you will go
Into the black light, you will know
You always wanted to be right
You never wanted to stay
You are a soul burnin' too bright
Your guardian angel did say
Into the black light, you will go
Into the black light, you will know
Into the black light, you will go
NIGHTS IN WHITE SATIN
(Hayward)
Nights in white satin
Never reaching the end
Letters I've written
Never meaning to send
Beauty I'd always missed
With these eyes before
Just what the truth is
I can't say anymore
Cuz I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, how, I love you
I love you
Gazing at people
Some hand in hand
Just what I'm going thru
I can't understand
Some try to tell me
Thoughts they cannot defend
Just what you want to be
You will be in the end
And I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, how, I love you
Oh, how, I love you
Nights in white satin
Never reaching the end
Letters I've written
Never meaning to send
Beauty I'd always missed
With these eyes before
Just what the truth is
I can't say anymore
Cuz I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, how, I love you
Oh, I love you
I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, I love you
I really do
I love you
TOO HIGH
(Hughes/Marsh)
You're so electrified
But you're infected by the pain
You've been identified
And it's hello Mary Jane
You look so terrified
Inside your curiousity
But you just can't decide
Just what you want to be
You keep it down low
You let it all go
You're too high
You wanna be the best
Cuz you're too high
You never touch the ground
Cuz you're too high
You're different from the rest
Cuz you're too high
You're never comin' down
Into the sky above
There's a symbol of world peace
But you did kill the dove
Negativity release
They seek you everywhere
You're connected to your fame
But you don't really care
I think it's time to change your name
You keep it down low
You let it all go
You're too high
You wanna be the best
Cuz you're too high
You never touch the ground
Cuz you're too high
You're different from the rest
Cuz you're too high
You're never comin' down
Cuz you're too high
You wanna be the best
Cuz you're too high
You never touch the ground
Cuz you're too high
You're different from the rest
Cuz you're too high
You wanna be the best
Cuz you're too high
You never touch the ground
Cuz you're too high
You're never comin' down
You keep it down low
Haaaa!
THIS IS HOW I FEEL
(Hughes)
This is how I feel
This moment
This is how I feel
Right now
Don't know what will be tomorrow
Take it all the way
Take it all the way
I'm on the ladder
The sun is shinin'
And nothin' stands in my way
I say goodbye to the fear
Goodbye to the fear
And it don't matter, I need remindin'
Come with me, don't be afraid
And I know just why I'm here
Know just why I'm here
This is how I feel
This moment
This is how I feel
Right now
Don't know what will be tomorrow
Take it all the way
Take it all the way
I'm on a wave in the clear blue water
And theres' no cloud in the sky
And I know just what it is
And I know just what it is
Cuz I'll be safe
And you know I oughta
And I'm not livin' to die
And you know I can't resist
Know I can't resist
This is how I feel
And I know what I see
There's so many things I want to be
And I always wonder why
Just what is meant to be
And I only wanna say
Just what I really feel
This is how I feel
This moment
This is how I feel
Right now
Don't know what will be tomorrow
Take it all the way
Take it all the way
Take it all the way
THE DIVINE
(Hughes)
Seems like a thousand days
And there can be no doubt
His mind was in a haze
And he was so worn out
He lost serenity
Within a fractured life
With no apology
He knew that he was right
But his eyes they did not see
Heading for a tragedy
To prove his innocence
He'll take it to the grave
In his deliverance
Somebody could be saved
And the world he could not face
Prayin' for a state of grace
He was looking for a sign
He was selfish and unkind
Gave his life to the divine
Inside his caravan
He pulled the shutters down
And will he ever see
What all the others found?
He stood upon the roof
Get closer to the sky
Condition critical
No time to wonder why
But his eyes they could not see
Heading for a tragedy
He was looking for a sign
He was selfish and unkind
Gave his life to the divine
And the world he could not face
Prayin' for a state of grace
He was looking for a sign
He was selfish and unkind
Gave his life
He was looking for a sign
He was selfish and unkind
Gave his life to the divine
He gave his life
