ANOTHER PLANET by K. Dennis
She didn't hear another word the suit said
After "two weeks for every year"
It's sunny outside, it's getting warmer in here
Feeling lighter already, hey look over there
The furniture is floating, I've come unbound...
It's like another planet far from here
It's like another planet nowhere near
She was already feeling alien enough
Old friends were growing strange
Treating me like a cousin gone crazy
Trying to talk in some long dead language
This earth is foreign to me, maybe it's time to fly...
Off to another planet far from here
Maybe another planet nowhere near
Off to another planet far from here
Maybe another planet nowhere near
This earth is foreign to me, maybe it's time to fly
Off to another planet far from here

DREAM OF THE TRUTH by K. Dennis
We dream of the truth but we're afraid to live it
We dream of the truth but we can't admit it
We have doubt
We dream of the truth but we're afraid to live it
We dream of the truth but we can't admit it
We have doubt - crippling doubt
We dream of the truth but we can't admit it
We dream of the truth but we're afraid to live it
We have doubt - paralyzing doubt
We dream of the truth but we can't admit it
We dream of the truth but we're afraid to live it
We have doubt - paralyzing doubt
We dream of the truth but we're afraid to live it...

SHADES by A. Bergey
You can't hide
I won't abide
I am in a dream
Find me here
No need to fear
I'm not what I seem
Sleep by day
And dream by night
Please do close the shades
Shades . . .
Stay in bed
And clear my head
The night time is mine
Stay in sheets
The day completes
I don't know the time
Live in bed
And die in bed
Please do close the shades
Shades . . .
Can't complain
About the rain
It blots out the rays
On my pane
It keeps me sane
For all of my days
Sleep by day
And dream by night
Please do close the shades
Shades . . .

HIP HOP STAR by K. Dennis
If I was half my age
I'd climb up on stage
And take a crack at bein' a hip hop star
Rap is not my thing
But I'm liking all that bling
I think I want to be a hip hop star
Those videos are wild
Booty shakin' all the time
Just another day at work when you're a hip hop star
Dripping all that gold
All that chronic, man I'm sold!
Where do I apply to be a hip hop star?
Cash and cribs and cars
I wanna be a hip hop star
Who am I tryin' to fool?
I'm so old they closed the school
No one wants a middle aged hip hop star
Ain't got the tools, ain't got the cred
I'm gettin' tired, let's go to bed
I think I'll never be a hip hop star
I wonder what it's like to be a hip hop star?
Do they know they're lucky, they're hip hop stars
Cash and cribs and cars
I wanna be a hip hop star

Problems

PROBLEMS by Landis Davis
Slinking 'cross the sidewalk like a cat caught in the rain
I've got fourteen kinds of trouble on my mind
Things have got me thinking that my life will never change
You know I think now that I ain't no friend of mine
When I woke up this morning, the sun behind the clouds
I thought that this might be my day to die
But then I started thinking, and then I got to drinking
For the life of me I can't remember why
I've got my problems, and you've got yours
You know that ain't no fault of mine
Sure as the sun sets in the east and rises in the west
I'm gonna get my life back in line
Well I called up my baby just to tell her that I loved her
But I could not get her on the phone
So I went down to the drugstore and drank a cherry coke
Now I'm sittin' here watching tv all alone
Some day a big wind's gonna come breathe life into these sails
And it's gonna blow my ship right into port
And I'll be there on the gang plank with a gun that doesn't shoot straight
And an IRS man who'll take me straight to court
I've got my problems, and you've got yours
You know that ain't no fault of mine
Sure as the sun sets in the east and rises in the west
I'm gonna get my life back in line

Where Should I Fall

WHERE SHOULD I FALL by A. Bergey
The undisputed truth
Came tumbling down
Caught on stone cold lies
Buried me in the ground
Unmitigated love
I testified
A panel of fears
Sat before me and lied
Find me standing on the edge
With a double-sided ledge
On one side lies the truth
On the other is my youth
Keep me looking straight ahead
Don’t think where my life’s led
You can tell me don’t look down
I will when you’re not around
Where should I fall
If I should fall at all
A decision to make
For decision's sake
Where should I fall
If you were my Daddy
You’d hold me down
If you were my momma
You’d talk me down
Where should I fall

START TO LET GO by K. Dennis
Clouds obscure the moon
Sleeping town
Quarter for the phone
Rings off the wall
You're not home
Clouds have had enough
Rain begins to fall
Hours til dawn
Siren echoes
From across the tracks
Homeless toss and turn
Soggy cardboard shacks
Walkin' slow
Dead end one-way street
Cold and wet
Crush out the last cigarette
Far away radio plays classic rock
Queen and Dead Zep and the rest of that schlock
Thunder cracks and the rain turns to hail
Open my mouth in a silent wail
Bus station john
Mirror never lies
Splash the demons back
Air dryer whines
Back into the night
Phone booth sentinel
Rings and rings and rings
Start to let go
Start to let go

DERELICT by K. Dennis
What's a derelict?
Someone who failed or the one who never tried?
What's a derelict?
One who is scared of love or one who is cold inside?
I've been derelict
Let down those who cared and made their lives hard
I keep telling myself I'm only hurting myself
I'm a derelict
Full blown stumblin', rollin', tumblin'
Derelict
What's a derelict?
Someone who knows what's right and still does wrong
What's a derelict?
Too wrapped up in themselves to see who they've lost
I've been derelict
Let down those who cared and made their lives hard
I keep telling myself I'm only hurting myself
I'm a derelict
Full blown stumblin', rollin', tumblin'
Derelict
Looks like I'm going down that same road again...
What's a derelict?
Can't seem to face the facts
What's a derelict?
Hidin' my head in a sack
I keep telling myself I'm only hurting myself, it's a lie
I'm a derelict
Full blown stumblin', rollin', tumblin'
Derelict
Looks like I'm going down that same road again...

The Former

THE FORMER by A. Bergey
I'm the former lover of the lady in the paper
Don't look to me to try something heroic to save her
If you think she's crazy now you should have seen her then
Even if they had a program they wouldn't let her in
I'm the former father of the girl knockin' at your door
She disowned me the day I couldn't get up off the floor
And now she's asking for donations that'll help out the poor
She's making this a better place, that's what daddies are for
You can ask me now, you can ask me later
You can ask the salesman, you can ask the waiter
You can ask for money, you can ask for free
If I was the former, and I'll always be
I'm the former founder of the foundation you have heard
Where they set up clinics and keep track of people they cured
The demographics and diversity have been defined
The funding and the leaders with concern have been aligned
You can ask me now, you can ask me later
You can ask the salesman, you can ask the waiter
You can ask for handouts, you can ask me now
If I was the former, why am I nothing now?

MAKE HER MOVIE by A. Bergey / K. Dennis
Now that she is gone
Movies are all wrong
Now that she's away
I don't look forward to the day
They make her movie - they'll make it funny
They'll make it groovy - to make them money
They'll make it up - to make it sell
They'll make it up - so you can't tell
Now that she is gone
Movies are too long
Now that she's away
I don't look forward to the day
They make her movie - they'll make it funny
They'll make it groovy - to make them money
They'll make it up - to make it sell
They'll make it up - so you can't tell
I thought Nastassja would be the next
I loved her in Polanski's Tess
But any thought of her taking your place
Were banished by her follow up disgrace
Now that she is gone
Movies are all wrong
Now that she's away
I don't look forward to the day
They make her movie - they'll make it funny
They'll make it groovy - to make them money
They'll make it up - to make it sell
They'll make it up - so you can't tell
They'll make her movie

DREW GOT A MOHAWK by K. Dennis
Mary Ann and Drew having a real good time
Knocking back the poison with a twist of lime
Mary Ann got an idea
Drew said "I'm not very clear -
What are you gonna do with those shears?"
Mary Ann got a case of the shaky hands
And Drew's makeover is the talk of the land
Drew got a mohawk today
Heads turn, people say "Hey!"
Drew got a mohawk today
Drew got a mohawk and it's okay
Finest strip of hair in the USA
Off to the mall down to Glamour Photo
Twenty-five prints and we're ready to go
Drew got a mohawk today
Heads turn, people say "Hey!"
Drew got a mohawk today

STRANGE ANIMALS by A. Bergey
Teacher and pet
That's what you get
Strange animals
Worker and boss
This is the cost
Strange animals
Lawyer and clerk
Might never work
Strange animals
Doctor and nurse
That is the curse
Strange animals
Strange animals - go figure
Strange animals
Teacher and pet, that's what you get
Strange animals
Strange animals - go figure
Husband and wife
Together for life
Strange animals
Police and crook
Both have the same look
Strange animals
Strange animals - go figure
Strange animals
Husband and wife, together for life
Strange animals
Strange animals - go figure
How strange can we be?
We can't control the chemistry
How strange can we be?
Diving off bridges 'cause of chemistry
Strange animals - go figure
Strange animals
Husband and wife, together for life
Police and crook, both have the same look
Strange animals
Strange animals - go figure
