"SINCE YOU SAID GOODBYE" (1984)

I MUST ADMIT THAT I MISS YOU
EVEN THOUGH I TRY NOT TO
WOULD YOU PLEASE COME BACK TO ME
CUZ I NEED YOU, CAN'T YOU SEE?

AT NIGHT, ALL ALONE I'LL CRY
SINCE YOU SAID, SINCE YOU SAID GOODBYE

I'VE NEVER BEEN CONTROLLED LIKE THIS
I DON'T EVEN KNOW WHAT DAY IT IS
WOULD YOU PLEASE COME BACK TO ME
CUZ I NEED YOU, CAN'T YOU SEE?
-CHORUS-

"REASON TO BELIEVE" (1985)

NOW I'VE GOT LADY LUCK BY MY SIDE
SHE'S MY JOY AND SHE'S MY PRIDE
I'M OUT OF THE DARK AND INTO THE LIGHT
IF SOMETHING'S ALL WRONG SHE MAKES IT ALRIGHT

AND SHE GIVES ME REASON TO BELIEVE IN OUR LOVE
AND SHE GIVES ME STRENGTH TO CARRY ON
CARRY ON

SHE'S MY STAR AND SHE'S MY DREAM
SHE MAKES LIFE A FANTASY
ALL I AM I OWE TO HER
SHE'S ALL THAT I WANT IN THE WORLD
-CHORUS-
SHE'S MY BABY AND WILL STAY
CLOSE TO ME AND NEVER FAR AWAY
I DON'T WORRY IF SHE'LL LEAVE
CUZ I KNOW SHE BELIEVES IN ME
-CHORUS-

"HABANERO KISS" (2004)

YOU'VE HEARD A LOT OF SONGS ABOUT MARIA
HOW SHE'S WILD AND LIVING SO FREE
WELL EVERY TIME THEY SING ABOUT HER
I REMEMBER HOW SHE WAS WITH ME
AND SHE KNOWS HOW MUCH I MISS HER
IT'S PART OF THE REASON SHE LEAVES
I'D GIVE ANYTHING JUST TO KISS HER
AND LIVE OFF THE AIR SHE BREATHES

BUT SHE LEFT ME HERE ALL ALONE
LIVING IN MEMORIES LIKE THIS
WONDERING WHAT SHE'S DOING NOW
AND BURNING FOR HER HABANERO KISS
I'M STILL BURNING FOR HER HABANERO KISS

I KNOW SHE'S OUT THERE SOMEWHERE
TEARING IT UP DOWNTOWN
MAKING SOMEBODY LOVE HER
AND REALLY JUST LEADING HIM ON
AND SHE KNOWS HOW MUCH HE'LL MISS HER
IT'S PART OF THE REASON SHE LEAVES
I'D GIVE ANYTHING JUST TO KISS HER
AND LIVE OFF THE AIR SHE BREATHES
-CHORUS-

"MY EYES" (1986)

IN MY HEART
THERE IS A PLACE FOR YOU
AND IN MY LIFE
THERE IS A SPACE THERE TOO

AND THERE WILL ALWAYS BE
A PLACE FOR YOU IN MY DREAM
WITH YOU AS MY GUIDE
WITH YOU AS MY EYES
I SEE

AND WHEN I FEEL
THERE IS NO GRACE FOR ME
THEN YOU MAKE
A HOME IN MY HEART THAT'S REAL
-CHORUS TWICE-

"BROKEN PROMISES" (1992)

I DIDN'T BELIEVE YOU WHEN YOU SAID, "I'M LEAVIN'"
I DIDN'T BELIEVE YOU WHEN YOU SAID, "GOODBYE."
I DIDN'T BELIEVE YOU WHEN YOU SAID, "IT'S OVER FOREVER,
AND THERE'S NO WAY YOU CAN CHANGE MY MIND."

WELL IF THERE WAS ONE THING I REALLY BELIEVED IN,
AND YET IT WAS THE ONE THING THAT I COULDN'T CHANGE.
IF THERE WAS ONE THING THAT I WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER,
IT'S THE BROKEN PROMISES, ALL THE BROKEN PROMISES,
ALL THE BROKEN PROMISES THAT WE MADE.

I WANT TO BELIEVE YOU WHEN YOU SAY, "I MISS YOU."
I WANNA BELIEVE YOU WHEN YOU SAY, "I CARE."
I WANT TO BELIEVE YOU WHEN YOU SAY,
"I'M ALWAYS HERE FOR YOU."
BUT WHEN I WAKE UP, NOBODY'S THERE.
-chorus-

"AND THE POWER IS" (2003)

GOT A SITUATION,
YOU'RE ON THE WRONG SIDE OF TOWN
AND MY OCCUPATION IS
JUST TO KNOCK YOU DOWN
AND KNOCK YOU AROUND

AND THE POWER IS GONNA DO IT AGAIN
CUZ MY APPETITE FOR DESTRUCTION
IS NEVER GONNA END,
NO IT'S NEVER GONNA END...

GOT A REPUTATION,
GONNA PROVE IT TODAY
AND MY ONLY SUGGESTION IS
TO GET OUT OF MY WAY
GET OUT OF MY WAY CUZ-
-CHORUS-

"DON'T GO" (1991)

NOW I WAS WRONG, OH YES I KNOW
SO DON'T TELL ME YOU'RE LEAVING,
DON'T GO NOW
I MADE MISTAKES ALONG THE WAY,
BUT IF I PROMISE TO CHANGE THEM,
WILL YOU STAY AROUND?

I SAID A MILLION THINGS THAT I DIDN'T MEAN
I NEED YOU BY MY SIDE TO MAKE MY LIFE COMPLETE
SO IF YOU'D PLEASE COME BACK, I PROMISE I WILL TRY
I WANT TO MAKE YOU LAUGH,
DIDN'T WANT TO MAKE YOU SAY GOODBYE.

NOW I DID YOU WRONG, OH YES I KNOW
BUT I PROMISE I'LL MAKE IT UP TO YOU
SO DON'T GO NOW
I MADE MISTAKES ALONG THE WAY,
BUT IF I PROMISE TO CHANGE THEM,
WILL YOU STAY AROUND?
-CHORUS-

"LOVE IT" (1990)

ANY TIME OF DAY OR NIGHT
THE MOOD IS ALWAYS RIGHT
I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF YOUR LOVE
AND THAT FEELING FEELS SO GOOD
LIKE I ALWAYS KNEW IT COULD
I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF YOUR LOVE
I'M ADDICTED TO THE STUFF
MIND ASIDE, HAND IN CUFF
I'M ADDICTED TO THE NIGHT
AND I LOSE CONTROL
WHEN THE FEELING'S RIGHT SO

DON'T STOP DRIVING ME CRAZY
DRIVING ME CRAZY
I JUST LOVE IT WHEN
YOU'RE THIS WAY
OH, COME ON OVER NOW!
AND DON'T STOP
DRIVING ME CRAZY
DRIVING ME CRAZY
I JUST LOVE IT WHEN
YOU'RE THIS WAY
I JUST LOVE IT BABY!

WHEN I HOLD YOUR BODY CLOSE
MY WHOLE BODY KNOWS
I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF YOUR LOVE
AND, NO MATTER WHERE WE GO
AS SOON AS WE GET HOME
I'LL WANT SOME MORE OF YOUR LOVE
I'M A PRISONER OF THE STUFF
MIND ASIDE, HAND IN CUFF
I'M A PRISONER OF THE NIGHT
AND I LOSE CONTROL
WHEN THE FEELING'S RIGHT SO
-chorus-

"NO ONE THERE TO LISTEN" (1990)

SOMETIMES
WHEN THE WORLD IS ON YOUR SHOULDERS
AND SOMETIMES
WHEN YOUR HEART IS GROWING COLDER

YOU JUST POUR YOUR POOR HEART OUT IN A SONG
'CUZ NOTHING DOES YOU BETTER
WHEN NO ONE'S THERE TO LISTEN

SOMETIMES
WHEN IT SEEMS THAT NO ONE CARES
AND SOMETIMES
WHEN NO ONE KNOWS YOU'RE THERE
-CHORUS-

"CAN'T HELP FEELING THIS WAY" (1993)

WHEN I'M HOLDING YOU CLOSE
AND YOU'RE SEARCHING MY EYES
TELLING ME THINGS NOBODY KNOWS

I CAN'T HELP FEELING THIS WAY
WHEN I'M FEELING THIS WAY
NO I CAN'T HELP FEELING THIS WAY

WHEN I'M HOLDING YOU CLOSE
AND YOU'RE SEARCHING MY EYES
TAKING ME WHERE NOBODY GOES
-CHORUS-

08 LINDY (1997)
(dedicated to the memory of
Lindy Omdahl, who was struck and killed
by a motor vehicle after exiting the
school bus in 1979. She was a 7th grader at
St. Mark Lutheran School.)

LINDY IS GONE
TOO LATE TO SAY I'M SORRY
FOR ALL THE CRUEL THINGS
I JOINED RIGHT IN
AND LINDY HAD WAYS
COULDN'T HELP BEING DIFFERENT
COULDN'T SING IN KEY
BUT MEANT EVERY WORD

FOUR WHEELS COULDN'T STOP
AND LINDY DIDN'T SEE,
IN HER OWN SAFE WORLD
ALL THE TIME.

LINDY FELL DOWN
MORE THAN ONE SOLEMN FACE.
THE LESSON I LEARNED
STILL GUIDES ME IN SUBTLE WAYS.
KILLING WORDS NOW STOP
EVERY TIME I SEE, LINDY
SOMEHOW, COULD I THANK YOU?

"SYNTHETIC MAN" (1982)
(Lyrics by Jef Jaeger)

I'M THE MAN IN SYNTHESIS
I'M HERE TO TELL A JOKE
DON'T WANT TO SEE YOU PANIC
WHEN YOU SEE THE SMOKE
YOU SEE THE SHATTERING OF MIRRORS
IS DRIVING YOU INSANE
THE MAN WHO'S WEARING FLOWERS
HE'S THE ONE TO BLAME

BUT IT CAN'T BE HIM
CUZ HE'S NOT REAL
HE WALKS IN THE SHADOWS
AND HE'S MADE OF STEEL
SYNTHETIC MAN

I'M THE MAN IN SYNTHESIS
EXPOSING ALL MY SHADES
I'M NOT LIKE THE OTHER ONES
ALL MY COLOR FADES
YOU SEE THE SHATTERING OF MIRRORS
IS DRIVING ME INSANE
THE MAN WHO'S WEARING FLOWERS
I'M THE ONE TO BLAME

BUT IT CAN'T BE ME
CUZ I'M NOT REAL
I WALK IN THE SHADOWS
AND I'M MADE OF STEEL
SYNTHETIC MAN

"BACK TO THE HURT" (1988)

YOU REMEMBER THE TIMES WELL IN YOUR MIND
WHEN HE TURNED HIS BACK ON YOU
AND LEFT YOU WITH AN EMPTINESS INSIDE

NOW HE SAYS HE WAS WRONG
AND THE FEELING IS STRONG
BUT YOU'VE GOT TO MOVE ON HONEY
CUZ YOU KNOW WHAT HE'S WORTH
YOU'LL BE BACK TO THE HURT
AND WATCHING HIM SPEND YOUR MONEY
WITH HIS NIGHTS ON THE TOWN
AND HIS FOOLING AROUND
ALL WHILE YOU'RE SPENDING
YOUR NIGHTS ALL ALONE
HE SAYS IT'S ALRIGHT
BUT YOU KNOW HE'S ALL WRONG
YOU'VE BEEN DOING
ALRIGHT ON YOUR OWN

HE GIVES YOU THE LINES WELL MEMORIZED
DON'T EVEN LET HIM TOUCH YOU
DON'T LET HIM TEMPT YOU WITH HIS LONELY EYES
-CHORUS-

"THE SAME" (1983)

I'VE GOT SOMETHING TO SAY
CUZ IF IT'S ONLY IN MY MIND THEN WHY TRY
AND IF I DON'T SAY IT, YOU MIGHT SAY GOODBYE

I'M SO CONFUSED IMAGINING WE MIGHT
JUST FADE AWAY CUZ YOU NEVER TALK
IT'S STILL THE SAME

IT'S ALWAYS THE SAME I WANT YOU HERE WITH ME
BUT YOU'RE FAR AWAY AND WITH YOU HERE
IT'S STILL THE SAME

I SHOULDN'T FEEL LOST CUZ IF YOU WERE HERE WITH ME
IT WOULDN'T CHANGE AND YET WITH YOU GONE
I'M STILL THE SAME
-CHORUS-

"THEY SAY THE HEART" (1985)

OH MY LOVE WILL YOU REMEMBER ME WHEN I'M GONE?
AND WILL YOU WRITE ON THOSE NIGHTS WILL YOU THINK OF ME?

THEY SAY THE HEART GROWS FONDER
WHEN TWO KIDS IN LOVE ARE APART
THEY SAY THAT LOVE GROWS STRONGER
EVEN THOUGH DISTANCE PLAYS ITS PART
I BELIEVE THAT IT DOES

OH MY LOVE THE VOICE IS CALLING ME ON AND ON
AND IN THE NIGHT IN MY MIND YOU WILL ALWAYS BE
-CHORUS-

"SAVE IT FOR A WHILE" (1986)

THE MORE YOU HAVE, THE MORE YOU NEED.
IT SEEMED THE GRASS WAS SO GREEN
ON THE OTHER SIDE, THAT I'D NEVER SEEN

SO MAYBE, MAYBE I'LL LIE(TRY) TO SAVE IT,
SAVE IT FOR A WHILE 'CUZ BABY,
I NEED YOUR LOVE TONIGHT.

THE MORE YOU'VE GOT, THE MORE YOU WANT.
YOU MIGHT AS WELL HAVE NOTHING AT ALL.
ALL I'LL EVER WANT IS WHAT I LOST

"SLOW MOTION" (1984)
(original early demo recording)

YOU SAID YOU LOVED ME AND YOU SAID YOU NEED ME
YOU SAID YOU'D BE MINE THAT WHAT YOU SAID
NOW CAN'T YOU SEE THAT WHAT YOU DO TO ME
IS DRIVING ME INSANE I'M GOING OUT OF MY HEAD

I SHOULD HAVE KNOWN RIGHT FROM THE START
THAT YOU WERE ONLY TELLING ME LIES TO WIN MY HEART

ONE LOOK, THAT'S ALL IT TOOK
AND YOU WERE GONE OUT OF MY EYE SIGHT
AND THEN YOU CAME BACK AGAIN
TO TELL ME LIES, IT'S AN ORGANIZED CRIME
-CHORUS-
OOOH I GOTTA WATCH YOU IN SLOW MOTION SO
YOU CAN'T GET AWAY
I GOTTA WATCH YOU IN SLOW MOTION
IN ORDER TO MAKE YOU STAY
-VERSE ONE-
-CHORUS-
-MIDDLE-
