Maria
by Stan Snow
You got eyes in the back of your head
I got nothing by time
You got a mountain of red
You’ve been burned by the desert sun
And there’s no way home
You let your mind get caught in a trap
I keep trying to tell you
But you won’t fight back
You’re on a road with a perfect plan
But you can’t let go
Maria, Maria, Maria……hold on to me
Maria, Maria, Maria……hold on…………to what you got
You got to find a way to feel the pain
You got to pull in your mind
You got to keep it sane
I don’t know what the future will bring
But we’re a long way gone
You keep telling me to stay in the game
We’ve got to roll with the punches
Let the changes remain
We both know we’d be over and done
But we can’t let go
Maria, Maria, Maria…..hold on to me
Maria, Maria, Maria…..hold on…………to what you got
Guitar solo
You got to find where your gravity is
You got to break the emotion
Let your center give in
I can’t tell you if it’s gonna work out
But we can’t stop now
It takes a million miles to get anywhere
Sometimes you’re running for cover
Like there’s nobody there
You got to give it everything that you got
Cause you’re a long way gone
Maria, Maria, Maria…..hold on to me
Maria, Maria, Maria…..hold on…..
Maria, Maria, Maria…..hold on to me
Maria, Maria, Maria…..hold on………..to what you got

Agree to Disagree
by Jed Moffitt
Judy, don’t you get nasty
Your list is long, the sun has gone, the time got past me and I can’t find the dog
He was chasing that long-legged neighbor girl
He ran out through my legs
I was closing the gate
As I threw away the empties of the beer that I drank for breakfast
Sue me, if I don’t make it to the hardware store
The roof is falling in I know, it is raining, and there is water on the floor
It is reality, but also a metaphor for the state we’re in
The walls are closing in and pushing me toward the door
Can we agree to disagree about the future
Can we agree to disagree about the past
Can we agree that our good times are in the rear-view mirror
and that this thing we are was never meant to last
Winning losing right and wrong
I’m refusing, choosing moving on
Guitar solo
Judy, you look right through me
You said you could, I knew you would, you really outdrew me, my hands are in the air
Since it’s win or lose, I lose, but I don’t care
I will take my leave, and you’ll be free and clear to believe what you want to believe
Can we agree to disagree about the future
Can we agree to disagree about the past
Can we agree that our good times are in the rear-view mirror
and that this thing we are is a train wreck
Can we agree to disagree about forever
Can we agree to disagree and then be done
Forever was just a dream that we read in some magazine
as we were riding in a limousine, around the sun

Go It Alone
By Stan Snow
You got a mind full of complications
I got a vision of a simple plan
You want to talk like there’s no tomorrow
I want to listen but I just can’t stand
All I need is a little bit of time baby
Let me find my way home
I can be there if you need a friend to lean on
You don’t have to go it alone….. go it alone
You got a job that drives you crazy
I got my car breakin down every week
We got a thousand miles of bills to pay
Got a bad feeling, could be out on the street
All we need is a little bit of time baby
We can find our way home
I can be there if you need a friend to lean on
We don’t have to go it alone….. go it alone
Guitar solo
You got stress like a bridge on fire
I got water but it’s draggin me down
We got days and days, inside this haze
But someday soon we’re gonna get out
All we need is a little bit of time baby
We can find our way home
I can be there if you need a friend to lean on
We don’t have to go it alone….. go it alone

Rotation
By Jed Moffitt
I am so happy and fat
I lay here on my belly facing sideways staring at the wall
I suppose I could do less, and then less again
Until I did nothing at all
And what if the less I did
The happier I got
Until, at last, my agenda
I completely forgot
The sun spins and the world turns
The winner wins and the moment burns
The sinner sins and the child learns
|The poker player shades his eyes
Lovers come together, they draw apart
Who knows the secrets of the workings of the heart
Who knows the target for the trickster’s dart
The arrow flies
A child is born, an old man dies
We gotta get our act together and get something done
Look at everything that is happening
Every day, under the sun
Shall we thrust in our swords
And plunder with all our might
From the first light of morning
Until the middle of the night
Electric piano solo
Words are like sticks playing tricks in our ears and in our minds
I can argue both sides of the point
And tangle myself up in ridiculous binds
We say that we love…we feel it burn
It comes and it goes, and we learn what we learn
And love keeps looking for what it looks for
And it finds what it finds
The sun spins and the world turns
The winner wins and the moment burns
The sinner sins and the child learns
The poker player shades his eyes
Lovers come together, they draw apart
Who knows the secrets of the workings of the heart
Who knows the target for the trickster’s dart
The arrow flies

Fuse
By Stan Snow
She’s got a mind of her own
I’ve got to follow the stone
We’ve got nothing to lose
You you’ve got to find what you choose
I can’t wait forever
You’ve got to fuse it together
Drive to the golden coast
Fly until you own the most
Why do you need the money
When I can give you love and honey
I can’t wait forever
You’ve got to fuse it together
Instrumental bridge 1 – guitar solo
Run, let your horses run
Ride, until you’re free from the gun
Hide, take your time, don’t waste it
Find, what you need and take it
I, can’t wait forever
You’ve got to fuse it together
Instrumental bridge 2

Night Owl
by Jed Moffitt
They are both whip smart, and they know how to cut deep
She has a freaky side, and a beautifully sinuous mind
She can come unhinged and justify weird things in her head
A backstory of blame, a knife from behind
She’s gonna leave me, and fly away to the strange
Obsessed with the dark, addicted to perpetual change
She’s gonna leave me for something ecstatic, and twisted, and new
Can I find a love that is a little bit more pragmatic, and a little less taboo
I’m scared, she went out yesterday, with some inscrutable hipster in a charcoal fedora
Said not to wait up, she won’t be coming back for a while
I stood there like a zombie, did not stand in her way as she walked out the door
I am giving inch by inch, and I am losing mile by mile
She’s gonna leave me, and fly away to the strange
Obsessed with the dark, addicted to perpetual change
She’s gonna leave me for something ecstatic, and twisted, and new
Can I find a love that is a little more gumdrops and sunshine, and a little less taboo
Instrumental bridge
These are wild eyed and crazy schemes
Bouncing through the heart of the dark on psychic trampolines
Inglorious collapses chasing fantasies of flight
Up all night
What happened to regular, what happened to plain
What if we read the morning paper over coffee and simulate sane
I don’t need a score of lovers, I don’t need a dungeon play
Just a warm friend in the morning to help me keep the demons away
She’s gonna leave me, I would stop her, but I don’t have the stones
My heart feels like a crypt painted white, but harboring a dead man’s bones
She’s gonna leave me, why do I still love her like I do
Can I find a love with a little more sangria and summer rain, and a little less taboo

Let It Fly
By Stan Snow
Dunes full of sand
Wind like a sail
Take to the sky
Leave no trail
No one can tell you
That you can’t try
You got to leave it all behind you
Hold on tight, and let it fly
Days turn to weeks
Weeks turn to years
Trial and error
Blood, sweat and tears
All that you know
You’ve got to make it right
It’s only a moment
Hold on tight, and let it fly
Don’t fail me now
Don’t fail me now
You’ve got to rise above it
Don’t fail me now
Don’t fail me now
Piano solo
Tortured and burned
Wings in the sand
Get up and try
Try to do it again
All that you asked for
Is gonna make it right
Don’t you stop believin’
Hold on tight, and let it fly
Don’t fail me now
Don’t fail me now
You’ve got to rise above it
Don’t fail me now
Don’t fail me now

Singularity
By Jed Moffitt
It smells like the delta in here …old whiskey… and original sin
Bobbing like a cork on the Niagara River
Do I remember how to swim?
I am taking on water
Seeping in through a thousand cracks
Fending off leviathan
And random pirate attacks
It’s got a mind of its own
The river we are riding on
We think we are in control but we are far downstream
Down to the Ponchartrain
Alligator stew in the delta rain
Finding myself a role in the new regime
Very far gone
Very far gone
When they shoot fish in a barrel
Are they shooting at me?
Winding my lazy way down river
To the mouth of the sea
Kurzweil writes of a tipping point
When the river swallows us all
Do we land on a gentle shore
or a monster waterfall?
It’s got a mind of it’s own
The river we are riding on
We think we are in control but we are far downstream
Skating on melting ice
Itinerants vandalizing paradise
In the name of freedom and living the American Dream
Very far gone
Very far
Guitar solo
When creation exploded into smithereens
Way back in who knows when
How could we know that the billions of pieces would never find peace
until they all reassembled again?
Lyle said, if he had a boat
he would go out on the sea
Tapping into universal ego
via cowboy poetry
Is that Huck Finn catching catfish?
Singing there with Jim on the shore
Chewing on hayseeds and laughing at us all
for what we have in store
It’s got a mind of its own
The river we are riding on
We think we are in control but we are far downstream
Living on borrowed time…something’s
biting on the end of my fishing line
The devils that we think we know are never what they seem
Very far gone
Very far gone

Evaporate
By Stan Snow
Sunrise on the water
The wind blows down and it carries you out to sea
Day break leads you open
Tides rise and the dark skies evaporate
Let go, float down the river
Ride your dream ‘til you see the other side
It’s a fine line between paradigm and apparition
Minds wander, and tell you evaporate
Piano solo 1
Move on to where you’re going
Take this road and drive into the light
Fire burns, and it takes you over
Slow motion, in time you evaporate
Piano solo 2

Don’t Know
By Jed Moffitt
When I met you, you were nothing special to me
There was nothing I could do but satisfy my curiosity
How was I to know you would clip the wings off a hummingbird?
I was smitten by your turn of a phrase…by your twist of a word
You don’t know what you don’t know
Don’t know what you don’t know
Don’t go, baby don’t go away
Don’t be selling me tomorrow
When I’m living on yesterday
I remember when you told me I looked good in my jeans
I didn’t understand the limited range of what a compliment means
How was I to know it was only good so far as it goes?
How was I to understand inside a mind that only knows what it knows?
You don’t know what you don’t know
Don’t know what you don’t know
Don’t go, baby don’t go away
Don’t be selling me tomorrow
When I’m living on yesterday
Guitar solo
One day I returned home and you were gone away
I remember standing there alone, nothing to do and nothing to say
You don’t know what you don’t know
Don’t know what you don’t know
Don’t go, baby don’t go away
Don’t be selling me tomorrow
When I’m living on yesterday
You don’t know what you don’t know
Don’t know what you don’t know
Don’t go, baby don’t go away
Don’t be selling me tomorrow
When I’m living on yesterday
