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 04:02
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 Angelina Angelina

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.
