Down To The Wire 

     Every time you touch her sets your hands on fire, 
     And every thing you've got is all that she requires. 
     And you hang on, hang on, hang on to the words of a liar. 
     You can feel it getting down to the wire. 
      
     All the hurt you thought was gone has now returned, 
     And every thing she's laughing at is all you learned. 
     And you let go, let go, let go, 'cause you know you're getting tired. 
     Can you feel it getting down to the wire? 
      
     Take the time to close your eyes and look around, 
     'Cause anyone who helped you out can let you down. 
     And look out, look out, look out, the voice is now the choir. 
     Can you feel it getting down to the wire? 

      
Sugar Mountain

     Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain 
     With the barkers and the colored balloons, 
     You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain 
     Though you're thinking that you're leaving there too soon, 
     You're leaving there too soon. 
      
     It's so noisy at the fair 
     But all your friends are there 
     And the candy floss you had 
     And your mother and your dad. 
      
     Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain 
     With the barkers and the colored balloons, 
     You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain 
     Though you're thinking that you're leaving there too soon, 
     You're leaving there too soon. 
      
     There's a girl just down the aisle, 
     Oh, to turn and see her smile. 
     You can hear the words she wrote 
     As you read the hidden note. 
      
     Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain 
     With the barkers and the colored balloons, 
     You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain 
     Though you're thinking that you're leaving there too soon, 
     You're leaving there too soon. 
      
     Now you're underneath the stairs 
     And you're givin' back some glares 
     To the people who you met 
     And it's your first cigarette. 
      
     Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain 
     With the barkers and the colored balloons, 
     You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain 
     Though you're thinking that you're leaving there too soon, 
     You're leaving there too soon. 
      
     Now you say you're leavin' home 
     'Cause you want to be alone. 
     Ain't it funny how you feel 
     When you're findin' out it's real? 
      
      
     Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain 
     With the barkers and the colored balloons, 
     You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain 
     Though you're thinking that you're leaving there too soon, 
     You're leaving there too soon. 
      
     Oh, to live on Sugar Mountain 
     with the barkers and the colored balloons, 
     You can't be twenty on Sugar Mountain 
     Though you're thinking that you're leaving there too soon, 
     You're leaving there too soon. 

      
Winterlong

     I waited for you, Winterlong 
     You seem to be where I belong. 
     It's all illusion anyway. 
      
     If things should ever turn out wrong 
     And all the love we have is gone, 
     It won't be easy on that day. 
      
     Waiting to follow 
     Through the dreamlight of your way 
     Is not so easy for me now. 
      
     Half the time has passed away 
     Things we thought of yesterday 
     Come back now, come back now. 
      
     Waiting to follow 
     Through the dreamlight of your way 
     Is not so easy for me now. 
      
     Half the time has passed away 
     Things we thought of yesterday 
     Come back now, come back now. 
      
     I waited for you Winterlong 
     You seem to be where I belong. 

      
Deep Forbidden Lake

     On the lake, the deep forbidden lake, 
     The old boats go gliding by, 
     And the leaves are falling from the trees 
     And landing on the logs and I 
     See the turtles heading for the bog 
     And falling off the log. 
     They make the water splash, 
     And feeling no backlash, 
     They climb the happy banks. 
      
     On the boats, the old and creaky boats, 
     The shoreline goes gliding by, 
     And the wind, there was a dying breeze, 
     Is making the banners fly. 
     See the colors, floating in the sky, 
     The pride of the captain's eye, 
     As he glides 
     His slender craft inside 
     And opens up the door. 
      
     On the coast, the long and tempting coast, 
     The cards on the table lie, 
     And a speech, so eloquent in reach, 
     Was made by a passerby, 
     Passing by the way between 
     Here and left behind. 
     And it ripples through the crowds 
     Who run and cast their doubts 
     In the deep forbidden lake. 
      
     Yes, it echoes through the crowds 
     Who run and cast their doubts 
     In the deep forbidden lake. 

      
Love Is A Rose

     Love is a rose but you better not pick it 
     It only grows when it's on the vine. 
     A handful of thorns and you'll know you've missed it 
     You lose your love when you say the word "mine". 
      
     I wanna see what's never been seen, 
     I wanna live that age old dream. 
     Come on, lads, we can go together 
     Let's take the best right now, 
     Take the best right now. 
      
     I wanna go to an old hoe-down 
     Long ago in a western town. 
     Pick me up cause my feet are draggin' 
     Give me a lift and I'll hay your wagon. 
      
     Love is a rose but you better not pick it 
     It only grows when it's on the vine. 
     A handful of thorns and you'll know you've missed it 
     You lose your love when you say the word "mine". 
     Mine, mine. 
      
     Love is a rose, love is a rose. 
     Love is a rose, love is a rose. 

      
Campaigner

     I am a lonely visitor. 
     I came to late to cause a stir, 
     Though I campaigned all my life towards that goal. 
     I hardly slept the night you wept 
     Our secret's safe and still well kept 
     Where even Richard Nixon has got soul. 
     Even Richard Nixon has got 
     Soul. 
      
     Traffic cops are all color blind. 
     People steal from their own kind. 
     Evening comes to early for a stroll. 
     Down neon streets the streaker streaks. 
     The speaker speaks, but the truth still leaks, 
     Where even Richard Nixon has got soul. 
     Even Richard Nixon has got it, 
     Soul. 
      
     The podium rocks in the crowded waves. 
     The speaker talks of the beautiful saves 
     That went down long before he played this role 
     For the hotel queens and the magazines, 
     Test tube genes and slot machines 
     Where even Richard Nixon got soul. 
     Even Richard Nixon has got it, 
     Soul. 
      
     Hospitals have made him cry, 
     But there's always a free way in his eye, 
     Though his beach just got to crowded for his stroll. 
     Roads stretch out like healthy veins, 
     And wild gift horses strain the reins, 
     Where even Richard Nixon has got soul. 
     Even Richard Nixon has got 
     Soul. 
      
     I am a lonely visitor. 
     I came to late to cause a stir, 
     Though I campaigned all my life towards that goal.
