Kitchen Fire
(Tani)
Four burners -Never learners
but you'd think it would sink in eventually
It's getting hot But I ain't bitchin
You just can't cook without heat in the kitchen
Recipe -I can't discuss it
But steam is the theme -stop making such a fuss it
ain't deep -so just listen
That's good kissin
Kitchen fire
It's what ya get when an angel and a devil conspire
Kitchen fire
We're gonna burn the palace down with lust and desire
We're gonna burn the palace down with lust and desire
We're gonna burn the palace down
Slow burners -Fast learners
But the line is fine between bitten and shy
Its gettin' hot -but I ain't bitchin'
You just can't cook without heat in the kitchen
Oven's cranked -Pan's sizzlin'
There's a lot in the pot and the dough has risen
The pressure's up and -The cooker's hissin
That's good kissin
Recipe -I can't discuss it
But there’s steam is the theme -stop making such a fuss
It’s gettin' hot -but I ain't bitchin'
Ah, you just can’t cook without steam in the

Angelina
(
Jhene Canody)
You were my yellow dream, wearing that golden, yellow smile
I was nervous as a cat and you were laughing all the while
Angelina, I heard your name spoken through the door
Angelina, why do you always run away?
I have grown tired of pretending to be indifferent to you
I've played and lost this game before and I don't want to play this game anymore
Angelina, there with the ocean dancing in your eyes
Angelina, where is a place for me to land?
Am I just one of those you stumble over as you're trying to walk
How do you see your way clear when there is so much talk
Angelina, I heard your name whispered on the wind
Angelina, why does the wind touch me more than you?
And still the light, shines in every thing you say and do and I'm
colder without you
You were the bluest sky I had ever seen, clearer than my dreams
When you're traveling from cloud to cloud will you look down and see me
Angelina, guess I tried too hard to hold you in my arms
Angelina, why should I be surprised you left?
And still the sun, the sun it
shines in everything I see and
do
and I'm
left wondering
why I
don't feel the warmth
coming from you
You were a golden ball of fire shooting cross the midnight sky
Wonder what you were before and what you'll be when you arrive

Take Me With You When You Go Too Far
(Tani)
I hear you pacing upstairs
Every night until dawn
Dragging your baggage around
Making your plans to move on
I’ve seen you try it before
But it’s yet to work out
Every road leads somewhere
You haven't found the right route
I watched you soar too high -I saw you plunge too deep
I saw you burn too hot, shine too bright -and sell too cheap
I don't care where you're bound
I need to cover some ground
My bag is packed in your car
Take me with you when you go too far
Take me with you when you go too far
Love is risking it all
Skating out to the edge
I just bleed on the keys
While you stand on the ledge
I want to take that chance
Of going over the falls
This town just blackens the page
While the white water calls

BELIEVE IT OR NOT
(Hunter-Garcia)
Just a few moments, just a piece of your time,
Is all I am asking, and I'll give you mine.
Just a few moments, out of all you have got,
To show how I love you, believe it or not.
To show how I love you, believe it or not.
I know I'm no angel, my prospect's are high.
As the floodline in summer, when the rivers run dry.
But I roll up my shirt sleeves and give my best shot,
To show that I love you, believe it or not.
Just to show that I love you, believe it or not.
Done time in the lockup,
done time on the street.
Done time on the upswing,
and time in defeat.
I know what I'm asking,
I know it's a lot,
To tell you I love you,
believe it or not.
Right now while the sun shines, on the crest of a hill.
With the breeze in the pines, and a grey whip-or-whil,
Making music together, in a world time forgot.
Let me show how I love you, believe it or not.
Let me show how I love you, believe it or not.
Let me show how I love you, believe it or not.

Southern Exposure
(Tani)
Southern exposure. I need closure
I sailed this ship all over the world
From the deck of this bar I roamed near and far
Looking for a place to unfurl
Long summer night. The sun's dim light
Sits low in the northern sky
It streams in the window, warm golden yellow
It's midnight on the fourth of July
Months since I got here. The plan is still unclear
No rudder but I've plenty of sail
The temperature's lonely. It's measured in only
degrees of translucent to pale
I'm dreading the sunset. It looms like an old debt.
I can't avoid and long past due
When night falls the stars rise, and light up the dark skies
But stars just make me think about home -home and you
=====
You were the star to guide me back
But when I scan the evening sky
Where you once were is empty black
And such a lonely fool am I
I'm alright without a home
I'll keep busy -I'll make do
In the day I'm just alone
but at night I'm without you
=====
The sun's my companion. Lighting a canyon -carved
deep by a river of love
Once overflowing, the riverbed's showing -it must
Look pretty sad from above
=====
But I was looking for a place
where the sun never sets,
so I'd never have to face
Another night with my regrets
I'm alright without a home
I stay busy -I'll get through
In the day I'm just alone
but at night I'm without you
In the day I'm just alone
but at night I'm without you
=====
Southern exposure. I need closure.

The Look of Love
(Burt Bacharach & Hal David)
The look of love
Is in your eyes
A look your smile can't disguise
The look of love
It's saying so much more
Than words could ever say
And what my heart has heard,
Well, it takes my breath away.
I can hardly wait to hold you,
Feel my arms around you.
How long I have waited,
Waited just to love you
Now that I have found you
[You've got] The look of love
It's on your face
A look that time can't erase
Be mine tonight
Let this be just the start
Of so many nights like this
Let's take a lover's vow
And then seal it with a kiss.
I can hardly wait to hold you
Feel my arms around you,
How long I have waited,
Waited just to love you,
Now that I have found you,
Don't ever go, don't ever go,
I love you so.
