FREE HAWK FLY (W.GAMACHE)
FREE HAWK FLY
[v]
Can you change these arms to wings and free me?
Lift me with a sudden, summer breeze
We’ll glide above the tips of the trees
Follow the river, you and me, down to the white caps of the sea
[Partial CH:]
Freedom! Free Hawk Fly
Freedom! Free Hawk Fly
[v]
Friend - I watched you battle
Til the end of your war
Dragged down by drugs and alcohol
I should have done something more
[CH:]
Freedom! Free Hawk Fly
Freedom! Free Hawk Fly
We're sentenced at birth
To be chained to the earth
Now I raise my eyes to your kingdom in the sky
[Rise]
Can you change these arms to wings and free me?
And are you the one I'm dying to see? Are you now free?
[CH:]

IT SHOULD BE EASY
I sold my watch
I don’t wear chains
I don’t have much
Boots, jacket, and jeans
It should be easy for me to leave you
It should be easy for me to leave you
My keyboards pawned
Our TV’s gone too
Your name's not burned
On any tattoo
It should be easy for me to leave you
It should be easy for me to leave you
[Chorus]
Why am I so tied to you?
It may be these hard times we're fighting through
I’ve tried, I’ve tried, I’ve tried
I’ve tried but I can’t leave you
I’ve tried but I can’t leave you
You smoked my money
You broke my pride
You hurt me honey
Yawned while I cried
It should be easy for me to leave you
It should be easy for me to leave you
I miss my hometown
My folks, my friends
I bet you’re downtown
Drinking again
It should be easy for me to leave you
It should be easy for me to leave you
[Chorus]
Why am I so tied to you?
Why's it so hard to take my mind off you?
I’ve tried, I’ve tried, I’ve tried
I’ve tried but I can’t leave you
I’ve tried but I can’t leave you
It may be I still love you
it ain't so easy for me to leave you --- END ---

RED BALLOON
[Chorus]
Red Balloon, I dreamed of a red balloon
It sailed up, up and on!
I jumped to grab the string
Red Balloon, I watched a red balloon
It sailed up, up and on!
I awoke to see.... a red balloon
[v]
I wish you had been naked
Last night in my dream
Instead you were covered in scarlet
Floating just out of reach
[v]
It's true we've been fighting
You've been gone far too long
Tell me has your heart been drifting
I've gotta change what's going wrong
[Chorus]
[v]
You should be right here sleeping
Me and you side my side
But now it's back to dreaming
Where the answer may reside
[Chorus] --- END ---

I CAN'T GET AWAY WITH A THING
[v]
I was chilling in my favorite bar
He can’t get away with a thing
She launched a text ‘I know where you are!’
He can’t get away with a thing
I placed my bet in the ‘Lion’s Den’
He can’t get away with a thing
FaceTime this time ‘You're gambling again?’
He can’t get away with a thing
[CH:]
Other men lead double lives
With other women and other wives
I best be good or otherwise
It could get bad for me
Oh no I CAN’T GET AWAY WITH A THING
[v]
She checks the pockets of my jeans
He can’t get away with a thing
She hides inside my computer screen
He can’t get away with a thing
[CH:]
[Bridge]
My mind puffs out strange thought bubbles
She pops ‘em fore they cause me trouble
You may think she really bug me
But it’s all cuz she love, love, loves me
[v]
She gets so jealous at the drop of a pin
He can’t get away with a thing
She scolds her friends ‘don’t talk to him’
He can’t get away with a thing
[CH:]

ONE NEW SONG
[v]
I start the day feeling lucky
from the moment I open my eyes
I know something's waiting for me
It's always a big surprise
[rise]
It' my time to shine
like the sun on the rise
[CHORUS]
Everyday I'm given ONE NEW SONG
Something to sing about all day long
Each days a new hit, I can feel it
I've caught the spirit of ONE NEW SONG
[v]
It's fun to meet new people
I love to see what's on their mind
It could a scene so simple
Like hummingbirds in Springtime
[rise]
It's my time to shine
Like the stars out tonight
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
I'm stepping in harmony
tuned into the melody
Making memories
[Chorus] --- END ---

DANCE WITH ME ANGEL
[v1]
The welcome signs, Angel, are all turned around
There are seabirds, stray cats, boats moored aground
The lighthouse goes dark when our island shuts down
Where will you stay, Angel, with no johns in town?
[chours]
Dance with me, Angel, in your ragged white dress
It's been torn at your thighs, ripped at your breasts
Dance with me, Angel, in your ragged white dress
[v2]
Stay with me, Angel, I can find stuff to eat
I have a cart full of blankets, I have coffee and heat
I close my eyes and these cobblestone streets
Fill up with tourists, Angel, coins fall at my feet
[chours]
Dance with me, Angel, in your ragged white dress
It's been torn at your thighs, ripped at your breasts
Dance with me, Angel, in your ragged white dress
[v3]
Walk with me, Angel, to the downtown cafe
We can sneak in a side door, the jukebox still plays
If bottles are broken, I'll sweep them away
If you want to cry, Angel, I'll dry your pretty face
[chours]
Dance with me, Angel, in your ragged white dress
It's been torn at your thighs, ripped at your breasts
The harbors empty, all your bully boys left
Winter is spreading a blanket of death
Dance with me, Angel, in your ragged white dress
[bridge]
Pick a slow song from long ago
When this dress was new and this place never closed
Before the war shook me and left me in these beggar's cloths
[chours]
Dance with me, Angel, in your ragged white dress
It's been torn at your thighs, ripped at your breasts
My hearts not empty, we're the only ones left
A ghost singer's crying 'I'm lonely as death'
Dance with me, Angel, in your ragged white dress --- END ---

WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?
What were you thinking?
An upbeat ivy-league kid
Making plans to throw your body
Off a building or a bridge
What were you thinking?
‘I’m sorry’ is all you wrote
You left your dorm in New Haven
You signed your suicide note
Was the devil drumming? A second coming
Was an angel screaming? A scripture reading
Was a flaming horse descending from the sun?
What were you thinking?
What were you thinking?
Riding ninety stories up
Then climbing spiked steel rails
Letting go and leaping off
What were THEY thinking?
When you fell from the sky
They closed two city blocks
In Manhattan that night
Was the devil drumming?
Was an angel screaming?
What were you thinking?
[break]
[Bridge]
Be kind to people on the road
Each one carries a heavy load
One never knows
Is the devil drumming?
Is an angel screaming?
What're they thinking? --- END ---

THERE'S SOMETHING ABOUT SUMMER
[v]
There’s something about summer
Has me thinking every night
Lying restless ‘neath a fan
Staring down Father Time
[Rise]
There’s something moving out there
In the cemetery trees
Something pushes my curtains
I can barely breathe
[Chorus]
Oh! something went down long ago in a wicked heat
Now something's clinging to me more than these cotton sheets
There’s something about summer that won’t let my soul sleep
[v]
There’s something about summer
A thing frozen winter hides
I float back to forever
Buried feelings come alive
[Chorus]
[Rise]
There’s something moving out there
Night shadows touch your stone
What'll happen to your roses?
They're getting old all alone
[Chorus]
Oh! something went down long ago in a wicked heat
Some things cannot be changed, you can't forgive me
There’s something about summer that won’t let my soul sleep
--- END ---

DRIVING DISTRACTED
[v]
BABY, WHEN I'M DRIVIN' YOU'RE RIDIN' SHOTGUN
IT'S TOUGH CONCENTRATIN' WHEN YOU'RE HAVIN' FUN
I KNOW I SHOULD BE LOOKIN' ON UP AHEAD
STILL I KEEP STARIN' AT THOSE LEGS INSTEAD
[v]
FLIPPIN' THE MIRROR, PUTTIN' LIPSTICK ON
SKIRTS' RIDIN' UP, ON THOSE SHEER NYLONS
IT'S HARD KEEPIN' BOTH HANDS ON THE WHEEL
AN' YOU KEEP ACTIN' LIKE IT'S NO BIG DEAL
[rise]
MY EYES KEEP DRIFTIN' TO THE RIGHT
EV'RYTHING YOU WEAR IS SO DAMN TIGHT
IT WON'T BE LONG BEFORE WE RUN OUR FIRST RED LIGHT
[Chorus]
I'M DRIVIN' DISTRACTED, DWD
I'M DRIVIN' DISTRACTED, WHEN YOU'RE RIDIN' NEXT TO ME
I'M DRIVIN' DISTRACTED, DWD
DRIVIN' DISTRACTED, BREAKIN' THE LAW
DRIVIN' DISTRACTED, BABY, WE'RE BREAKIN',
WE'RE BREAKIN' THE LAW
[v]
NOW WHO ARE YOU TEXTIN'?, ARE YOU LAUGHIN' AT ME?
THIS IS REALLY UNSAFE AT ANY SPEED
KICKIN' UP THE RADIO, PLAYIN' WITH YOUR HAIR
YOU'RE MAKIN' ME CRAZY, & YOU JUST DON'T CARE
[v]
FLYIN' DOWN THE HIGHWAY, PEDAL TO THE FLOOR
DRUMMIN' ON THE DASH, SINGIN' MORE, MORE, MORE
ARE YOU NAIVE?, TELL ME IT'S NOT TRUE
NOW YOU'RE SHOWIN' ME, ANOTHER NEW TATOO!
[rise]
MY EYES KEEP DRIFTIN' TO THE RIGHT
EV'RYTHING YOU WEAR IS SO DAMN TIGHT
LOOK OUT!, NOW I'M SEEING FLASHIN' LIGHTS
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
A BLACK & WHITE WITH SCREAMIN' SIREN
BRINGS ME TO MY SENSES
IT'S WAY TOO LATE, WE CAN'T ESCAPE
I'M SURE HE'LL SEE....THE REASON WHY:
[Chorus] --- END ---
