ALBUM LYRICS

SummerlandWritten by Chester Hogoboom, Thomas L. Nunes and Alex KizanisAdditional Musicians:Alex Kizanis-keyboards

I've been working way too much, I'm out of time and out of touchMy vacations so overdue and I'm thinking about what I might doThere's a place out on the coast, with all the things I like to do the mostYea there's something about this time of year, it's got a different kind of atmosphere

I see my white feet walking in the sand, I hope my boss really understandsI've taken all that I can stand and I'm Going out to Summerland

As far as the eye can see I've got my blue pacific right in front of meLiving life with my flip flops on, I've got my board shorts and I'm already goneYou know that Jeannie's got a new bikini that she's just dyin’ to wearAnd little Ralphie says he'll come along, because he's never really been anywhere

They've got the women, the beach and the beerIs there something I'm missing here?Working life is getting out of handI'm going out to Summerland

What's it gonna take now? If we're gonna make our destinationAin't gonna be no hesitation

There's a place out on the coast, a place where things are really taken slowSomewhere warm where the girls are tan, and a beachside bar where I know the bandEverybody's got a place in mind, a magic place when it's time to unwindThere's something about this time of year, it's just a different kind of atmosphere

I should have done this weeks ago But its' better late than to never showI've taken all that I can stand and I'mGoin out to SummerlandGoin out to Summerland

Wastin’ A Day Written by Chester Hogoboom and Thomas Nunes Additional Musicians:Ernie Watts/ SaxophoneAlex Kizanis/ KeyboardStan Sine/ Harmonica

Wastin’ a day, walk through the dunes until the ocean comes in to viewThinking of you, the sun is so hot and the sky is an icy blue

Wastin’ a Day, dreaming about a place where I wouldn't beWastin’ a way, any clear thought would be an epiphany

Close to my heartYou’re in my hiding placeWhere should I start?Because you, you were so incredibly pleasing

I start to fall, freeform and fumbling, laughing down through it allDown to the sea, the waterline is the right place for me to be

Still in my heart, You’re in my hiding placeWhere can I start?When the truth is so hard to face

La la la la la, la la la la la la laaa

Runaway DaysI don't know where I'm going; I just know that it's far away

Wastin’ a Day, The air is so hot and the sky is an icy blue

Wastin’ a DayWastin’ a Day

Safe to SayWritten by Chester Hogoboom and Thomas NunesAdditional Musicians:Steve Tracy/ Guitar

She comes on like a little girl lostI took a look in her eyes I knew our stars were crossed She's got a new way of livingOh no she never things twice no more

Safe to say she wants to love youDon't you know it's Safe to saySafe to say, she's not below or above youDon't you know it's safe to say

She's got a face so full of wonderAt the touch of her hand ooh, I knew I'd fallen underShe makes my nights worth livingOh no never think twice, just go

Safe to say she wants to love youDon't you know it's Safe to saySafe to say she’s not below or above youDon’t you know it's safe to say

She moves into the firelightWatching her shadow danceI knew that something changedWe got a knew way of living Oh no, we never think twice just go, just go

Safe to say she wants to love youDon't you know it's Safe to saySafe to say she's not below or above youDon't you know it's safe to say

ALBUM LYRICS

PiecesWritten by Thomas Nunes and Chester HogoboomAdditional Musicians:Ernie Watts/ SaxophoneAlex Kizanis/ KeyboardsSteve Tracy/ Guitar

You said you'd always love me, no matter whatAlways be there for me, that’s what I thoughtI gave you everything, that’s all I've gotGone Forever Gone Forever-more away away What’s this feeling now, I’ve got insideOne more heartache that I just can't hideOne more promise, one more lieAll Together all Together now away away

I'm not gonna worry anymoreThings that I've been hoping for Like lost headlights down a lonesome highway

Hey you were just so here and nowLiving life so high and wildI never thought I could be broken hearted

You left me in pieces, whole lot of pieces, broken in Pieces, falling away

You said I was your thirst, I was your heartRight from the very first right from the startHow did we ever grow so far apart?You stopped trying, now I'm hiding out away awayI don't think I'll be staying here There's nothing now that you're not nearAnd I don't want to think about it

Fate was on our side until now Why we met seems different somehowI guess I'm blown away by these feelings

You left me in pieces Whole lot of piecesBroken in piecesSince you went away

Velvet ElvisWritten by Chester Hogoboom and Thomas Nunes Additional Musicians:Stan Sine/ HarmonicaSteve Tracy/ Guitar

I should of known better, but it still hurtShe was loading up the SUVWhen I came home from workShe said things were better left unsaidShe took the TV and left the sofa bed And she's leavingIf only things had just ended thereBut there was something about that smile and her stareAs she's leaving

I didn't really notice it didn't hit me at firstI ran our through the front door And the nightmare got worseThere looking up from the reversed backseatWas the king, blinded by daylight, out in the heatShe took my Velvet Elvis, She got my Velvet Elvis

If you had hurt me why'd you do it like this?If you were in such a hurryWhy'd you take his highness?It wasn't very funny honey, really kind of chillingIt gave new meaning to Elvis just left the building

There's a sheen of velveteen, soft around the king’s eyesAnd the deep background gleams and makes him seem aliveFound him in Tijuana, like it was destiny somehow

There's so many times that I kept my cool By hearing the king sing Don't Be Cruel And just thinkingEven in the hardest times I was so sereneI'd put on blue Hawaii and see himStaring back at me

She got my Velvet Elvis

ALBUM LYRICS

Mr. Hard HeartWritten by Thomas L. Nunes

You can toss my heart out the window, it won’t bother meBounce my heart around like a yo-yo, it won’t bother meBecause a man don’t have to deal with the worry Living with a heart of stoneAnd Mister Hard Heart spent a lifetime, learning to be all alone

Poor Mr. hard HeartHe’s got the hardest part of allHe just got off to a bad startIt really isn’t anybody’s fault

Now miss motor-mouth makes it her business, Telling you what to do, and hanging your hopes on wishesKeeps turning you black and blue, and keeping up with the JonesesIsn’t any kind of fun, a bad, bad case of the lonesomesHas got you on the run

Poor Mr. hard heart He’s got the hardest part of allHe just got off to a bad startIt really isn’t anybody’s fault

You can toss my heart out the window, it won’t bother meBounce my heart around like a yo-yo, it won’t bother meBecause it’s all just one big hand out, copping you for a feelAnd dropping you off on the corner, ain’t no dirty double deal

Poor Mr. Hard HeartHe’s got the hardest part of all He just got off to a bad start It really isn’t anybody’s fault

Mr. Hard HeartMr. Hard Heart

It Don't Matter Any Way Written by Thomas L. Nunes and Chester HogoboomAdditional Musicians:Alex Kizanis/ Keyboards

Well ain’t that like a lady? Making mountains out of stringTurning stories into dreamsI can't help but thinking maybe, someday baby You’ll know just what I meanCause I gave all I had to you, won't you tell me what to doHow to lie, how to steal, Do you wanna make a dealI spend all my time this way, wondering what to say, how to think and what to feel

Whoa, Watch them all parade, Turn the corner and march awayIt don't matter anyway, no Cause someone locked the door, he don't live here any more, and it don't matter anyway

I want to see you, but you left me here What’s it gonna be babe? I thought we made it so clear Give it to me straight now, do you want a new start?Has it come down to this, bad dreams and broken hearts?

I should have seen it coming, words got out before I heardYea, I should have seen it coming, restless lives and feelings that showIt’s your life it’s up to you

Well can't you see me lately, could I really be that vainAnd do that same tired thing again?I can't help but thinking maybe, someday baby You’ll know just what I meanCause I gave all I had to you, won't you tell me what to doHow to love, how to feel, do you want to make a deal?I spend all my time this way, wondering what to say, how to think and what to feel She walked in the room all dressed in blackI’m tryin’ not to stare, she’s trying not to stare backI can feel the pain now it’s all too real, try to keep breathingTryin’ now not to feel

Yea, I should have seen it coming Word got out before I heard, yea I should have seen it coming

Separate lives and feelings that growNothing like the feelings that showSeparate lives and feelings you knowIt’s your life, it’s up to you

Sol Leone (Lion Sun)Written by Chester Hogoboom and Thomas L. Nunes Additional Musicians:Alex Kizanis/ Keyboards

Guess you could say that it’s a fascinationMixed all around with some infatuationJust how a look an insinuation goes overIt’s probably more than I should be makingI’d trade any risk that I might be takingJust to hear you say three words to me, come on over come on over

The summer’s hot and the temp is risingCool at the beach thought you were so surprising The way you smiled and looked out at the horizonYes we both come from different planetsI need you in my orbit now damn itWhy don’t you read my mind and plan it? Come on Over Over and over and over yea

Sol leone take this day, when you chase the clouds away And the sun comes out to playOoh you’re the lion you’re the sun and we’ve only just begun

I know you’re famous for your litigationCan I tempt you with some conversation?You are the one that lives for information, yeaI sit and listen to your explanationI think you’re warming to my situationI can’t believe I got an invitation come over, Over and Over and Over Sol leoneSol leone

ALBUM LYRICS

Amazonia Written by Chester Hogoboom and Thomas NunesAdditional Musicians:Alex Kizanis/ Keyboard

Before the Steam Dries on freshly paved roads Come the trucks rolling, another village brokenBy the men looking for their goldThere's a sadness here at the edge of the world We bring Westernization and build military stationsAnd it's driving out their mystic souls

And all the old tribes, with traditions that enduredHundreds of years peaceful and nomadic And they're still living hereNow they wear camouflage, and they've changed from what they wereAll the things that used to be so sacred In a blink, it's another world

There's a deep dark omen if their world just disappearsWith the widening roads come the noise and the fearsDon't let it happen, don’t watch it happen Amazonia

There's no fishing now, and the fires burn on and on Forests are ravaged and rivers run pollutedAs they greet another smoky dawnAnd the politics of industry and wealthWill steal their mystery and steal their historyAnd leave them living here

There's a deep dark omen if their world just disappearsWith the widening roads, come the noise and the fearsDon’t let it happen, don't watch it happen

Amazonia,Amazonia

Smaller and Smaller Written by Chester Hogoboom and Thomas Nunes

Everything went silent, I watched you toss your hair in the white-hot windThen things got so complicatedSummer was our secret, doing what we could just to be aloneDiscreet is so overrated

Your laughter tasted like the sea Or like the sky and you were there with meJust for a short whileThis imperfect situationAn open invitation but not for long And now your doing the slow fade

Sure you'll be freeThat’s a transparencyMaking your way down Maple St. In an early freeze, you're stirring up the leavesSuch a subtle breezeYour getting smaller and smaller

How brave you looked back thenBut this chance for caring proved a little too scary for youIs there ever a right time?

When it's time to be leaving, you just walk awayAnd you don't need a reason, to fall in love you sayBut I can't stop believingYour getting smaller and smaller

Winter turned to springtime, the flowers on the hill look like an Indian painting to meRight after the rainfallThe air out here is crystalline, daylight breaks and it's just so bright that it hurtsLeaving my dreams interruptedI should be crying now, I got one small glimpse, just a notion of youAnd I'm still fascinated

Sure you'll be free, when you want to beMaking your way down Maple Street in an early freezeStirring up the leaves, such a subtle breeze, why'd you have to leave You're getting smaller and smallerWhisper In The Wind

Written by Thomas Nunes and Chet Hogoboom

Will you watch me when I leave, can you see me there?All my fears were on my sleeve, all I had to wearAll my wishes all my cares, will be washed awayDarling you need not despair, it’s all on me anyway

Like a bright day to the end, fading out of lightLike a whisper in the wind, running into night

Old Man Winter is coming through, don’t you think that it's timeThat you take me away with you, way oh way up highAnd I'll go wherever you want me to, far away from hereWhere everything is cold and blue, with things that I cannot bear And then one day the time will come, we will meet againFor its true this to shall pass, like a whisper in the wind

Hey now when you walk with me, take your time when you talk with meBut instead you turn away, Is there anything that you would say?Sometimes I see a spark, sometimes there in the darkMost the time your off somewhere with a chill left in the air, like a whisper in the windJust a whisper in the wind

Hey babe when you walk with me, take your time when you talk with meFire burned here long ago, but you wont let emotions showIs the fear still in the dark, is there any thing that you won't startIn the morning in the pouring rain, I believe that I feel your pain, Like a whisper in the windLike a whisper in the windLike a whisper in the wind
