Tender Touch

Dianne called me on the phone
she said Ben I’m feeling so alone
I think I need a little need a little
of your tender touch

I feel agitated, so frustrated
why is life so complicated
simplify me, gratify me
make me a melody
you know, you bring out the best in me

Dianne waited at my door
she said Ben don’t you be a bore
I think I need a little need a little
of your tender touch

I feel agitated, so frustrated
why is life so complicated
simplify me, gratify me
make me a melody
you know, you bring out the best in me

Dianne danced upon my porch
she said Ben I’m burning like a torch
I think I need a little need a little
of your tender touch

I feel agitated, so frustrated
why is life so complicated
simplify me, gratify me
make me a melody
you know, you bring out the best in me

Lucid

lucid baby lucid i am
i see it clearly now
it’s fairly obvious
must be an angel
riding high on my shoulder

lucid maybe lucid i’ll be
the past is over now
the future’s open
there’s so much more
wider spaces with no names

hit a little bump in the road
and you know how it threw me (yes it did)
jumped right up got back in my seat
you know you’ll always find me back on my feet

lucid surely lucid can be
a great experience
it’s such feeling
floating gently
flying high in the sky

hit a little bump in the road
and you know how it threw me (yes it did)
jumped right up got back in my seat
you know you’ll always find me back on my feet

lucid baby lucid i am
i see it clearly now
it’s fairly obvious
must be an angel
riding high on my shoulder

must be an angel
riding high on my shoulder

The Point Of No Return

shackled by your own thoughts and your fears
you’re falling down at the bottom of those stairs
will you ever climb that high
will you ever learn to fly
will you ever get beyond the point of no return

swallowed by the depths of your desire
hallowed by the heat of your own fire
will you ever make the time
will you ever cross the line
will you ever get beyond the point of no return

a slice of the pie might be nice
a lucky break and no more mistakes
guess you never know what the garden of life might grow you
a bed of thorns
maybe a rose

the spider webs inside your mind
hidden in confusion you might find
a sense of your direction
a step into the spotlight
when you finally get beyond the point of no return

the point of no return…

Special Chemistry

when you read my mind
please take your time
you never know what you might find

and when you pick my brain
please don’t go insane
cause then it’s all in vain

we’ve got special chemistry
we’ve got something you and me
we’ve got special chemistry
we’ve got something you and me

when you play the fool
and you’re breaking all the rules
yeah i think that’s just fine

when you cross the line
don’t pretend you’re blind
just enjoy everything you see

we’ve got special chemistry
we’ve got something you and me
we’ve got special chemistry
we’ve got something you and me

when you love me baby
and you wonder maybe
whether we should be

and when they all come tell you
that you’re crazy
just go with what you feel

we’ve got special chemistry
we’ve got something you and me
we’ve got special chemistry
we’ve got something you and me

we’ve got special chemistry
we’ve got something you and me
we’ve got special chemistry
we’ve got something you and me
