Oblivious Decisions
(James G & Steven Anthony)
 
Everyday that I awake,
I make oblivious decisions
The PettyCash Sensation,
rocking your occasion
Reach into bag of green,
new world of conditions
Oblivious decisions,
clouding my visions

Illusional Cognitions
new world of conditions
Oblivious decisions
clouding my visions

Complete new category
of visual perceptions
Like an ironic story
of friendship's deceptions
Even on a sunny day,
it clouds my visions
Blur my emotions,
stir whirlpool reflections

Illusional Cognitions
new world of conditions
Oblivious decisions
clouding my visions

Faster I run,
more I fall behind
Swimming upstream against
chance and time combined
No one else to call
no one here but me
Everything depending on
what I'm supposed to be
Is this the right man
in-the-wrong-reality


I always find it,
it always finds me
I can't ignore it,
seems to just follow me

Illusional cognitions,
new world of conditions
Oblivious decisions,
clouding my visions

Words
(James G & Steven Anthony)
 
A blank page stares at me
Common trait of reality
What to do, what to write
Will it be wrong or will it be right?
 
Words of glory, words of spite
Words that could start a knockdown fight
Words of love, words of delight
Words for company I keep when I sleep at night
 
Words to talk girls into bed
Maybe words Ive clearly said
Maybe its just all in your head
But they were only words
 
Writing songs in the San Diego sun
Getting a little drunk and having some fun
Hot girls, good food
Words that get you in that mood
 
Words to talk girls into bed
Maybe words Ive clearly said
Maybe its just all in your head
But they were only .....
Words that take over the night
Maybe wrong or maybe right
Maybe dark or maybe bright
But they are only words.
 
All these words that we say
Sometimes words get in the way
Remember at the end of day
That they were only words
 
Words with no rhyme, nor any reason
Words that could be read for any season
Words you dont get
Words we dont understand

Angel Wings
(Steven Anthony)
 
From the moment I awake
till my minds no longer thinking
I realize that I miss you.

My heart it starts to pound
as it falls straight to the ground
my heart is bleeding I miss you.

So take a look at me
you don't like what you see
but to me you mean everything.

My hands start to shake
My body starts to quiver
Oh my god how I love you angel wings

So look into my eyes
and tell me that you love me
that I'm that special somebody just for you.
I'll tell you straight from my heart
your tearing me apart
Oh my god how I love you OOOhh

And though it hurts me so
it's time I let you go
but realize that I miss you.

No Tomatoes!
(James G)
 
A late night dinner,
not so long ago
I asked "Please, No Tomatoes!"
the cashier replied the total

I turned up the stereo, money in my hand
waiting to eat, as soon as I can
Money in my hand, I drove forward
So far so good but later turns absurd
He hands me my food, smiling and gay
not checking in the bag, I fucking drove away!

I just kept on driving, right on down the road.....
DAMN! No hot sauce either!

Later on, down the road
what did I find?
Goddamn tomatoes,
I went out of my mind!

Time Machine
(James G)
 
Every so often, when life is real off and
I dont know which way to go
I think of a tool, dont call me a fool
This may sound strange I know
No genie in a bottle, a real working model
Something to take me back when
A time in my life, a cut from life's knife
Bounced off my young thick skin

My supreme machine, needs no gasoline
Bails me from any jam
My getaway ride, I can crawl inside
Crazy, maybe yes I am

Yeah my little Time Machine
Please take me away from this scene
I don't belong here, I did it again
Filled with regret, I wanna go back and then
Make a few changes, I'd like a fresh start
Just go back a little while, before my broken heart
You don't owe me, but I wish you would
Just take me back so I can make good

My supreme machine, needs no gasoline
Bails me from any jam
My getaway ride, I can crawl inside
Crazy, maybe yes I am

Yeah my little Time Machine
Please take me away from this scene
I don't belong here, I did it again
Filled with regret, I wanna go back and then
Make a few changes, I'd like a fresh start
Just go back a little while, before my broken heart
You don't owe me, but I wish you would
Just take me back so I can make good

My supreme machine, took no gasoline
Still in the same old jam
My getaway ride, I crawled inside
No further now than I am
But traveled in time, no reason nor rhyme
There are new choices for me
I awake, I bake and make no mistake
What's now, was once said to be

Long Hair Drinkin' Beer
(Steven Anthony)
 
Waking up is a brand new day
I've got cuts on my arms and scars on my face
nothing ever seems to go my way
I am sick and I'm tired
I'm a basket case

But I stay focused keep my feet on the ground
And I thank god for the life I've found
Head high and standing proud
Snap my neck as I shout out loud

Let's go rock n' roll, see the show, limbo
Get our kicks turning tricks, air guitar great licks
Long hair drinkin' beer, Billy Idol sneer
Catch me if you can

Off to bed
Nothing more to see
My destiny's over
I'm a memory
Nothing good ever seems to find me
But I keep one eye on my fantasy

I stay focused keep my feet on the ground
And I thank god for the life I've found
Head high and standing proud
Snap my neck as I shout out loud

Let's lose all control
Sell our souls for rock n' roll
Live with hicks in the sticks
Chix with dicks in porno flicks
Long hair drinkin' beer
Suicidal stare
Test me if you dare

I stay focused keep my feet on the ground
And I thank god for the life I've found
Head high and standing proud
Snap my neck as I shout out loud

Let's go rock n' roll, see the show, limbo
Get our kicks turning tricks, air guitar great licks
Long hair drinkin' beer, Billy Idol sneer
Catch me if you can

Let's lose all control
Sell our souls for rock n' roll
Live with hicks in the sticks
Chix with dicks in porno flicks
Long hair drinkin' beer
Suicidal stare
Test me if you dare

Kick Me When I'm Down
(Steven Anthony)

Killin' Time

Who ya know, whatcha know Are you ready for the show
Spend some dough, get the blow
Hot damn, Im good to go
Headed down Garnet, just got my face wet
Gettin off the beach just before sunset
Im mooooovin, down the avenue
fist full of cash, now lookin for some booze
Hell yes, sake sounds fine, got the time
so Ill wine and dine to reggae at Zen 5
Sun went down, strollin through town
my feet snub ground and looking for some sound
reach my stash, pull a hundred yard dash
gotta get to the bar, bout time for PettyCash
Feelin good, feelin loose
Just pounded down 3 bottles of juice
Feelin good, feelin fine
Just killin, I m killin time
Suns kicking down, faded my frown
Im right where I want to be
Things going good, like I wished they would
Im right where I want to be
The water, the sun, and all the fun
It certainly seems to me
This beautiful place, with the sun on my face
Im right where I want to be
Feelin good, feelin loose
Just pounded nother bottle of juice
Feelin good, feelin fine
Just killin, I m killin time

Awe yeah, sunny San Diego, kickin it

Heartache Disguised
(James G)
 
Sweet Angel
I rubbed my eyes
Closely seated
her beauty undisguised
Younger than I
though you'd never know it
Radiant beauty, I
can't deny or control it

Nineteen years old
going on twenty-five
Flirtatious and bold
her beauty undisguised

Summer love didn't last
too awfully long
Dinner here, heartbreak there
now I write this song

Insensitive, insecure
Inconceivable, inconceivable
Undulating, unbelievable
Unachievable, unachievable

When it rains, it pours
nobody can deny
Broken heart will be yours
though her beauty is undisguised

Things are going good now
I honestly can't complain
So I await full-knowingly
my future is allowing rain
Rain is neither good or bad
it just happens in between
Drags you down deeper
or pulls you up the same

When things don't work out just right,
lost in oblivious realm
Trying to steer straight, despite
losing control of the helm
(guitar solo)
Tools of the trade, a nice array
silent-treatment maximized
Taking advantage, games to play
lies, cries, her beauty undisguised

Coming her way, a cool black storm
coming her way, solitary downpour

She's now left without, needles in my eye
these things happen, no one knows why
When it rains, it pours
nobody can deny
The broken heart is NOW hers
she knows heartache is disguised

Bells of Regret

(Steven Anthony)

To he who laughs, in my face, when I dream
well I told you, never take your eyes off me.
Turn your back, smile on face, just walk away
but I saw through, you always wanted to be like me,
you wanted to be just like me.

Farther than you thought that I'd be going.
Further than you thought I'd ever be.
Faster than you'd think it ever happen.
Call me the king.

Gather round, share a smoke, make a joke at me expence,
don't let me negate your routine.
Cry aloud, your so proud, put me down put up your fence
don't ever take a chance, you never ever stand a chance.

Farther than you thought that I'd be going.
Further than you thought I'd ever be.
Faster than you'd think it ever happen.
Hello it's me.
Always laugh when I told you I was going.
What I dreamt, you said would never be.
Furthest from the one you'd think it happen but,
now it's happened to me.

You always follow the normal routine.
You hands are shackled unknowing to you.
Your feet they follow paths of other men and those before you.
Afraid to break the mold, for your net breaks right along with it.
Soon the Bells of Regret will be ring in your ears.

Farther than you thought that I'd be going.
Further than you thought I'd ever be.
Faster than you'd think it ever happen.
Call me the king.
Always laugh when I told you I was going.
What I dreamt, you said would never be.
Furthest from the one you'd think it happen but,
now it's happened to me.
Now it's happened to me.

Empty Boxes of Nothing
(Steven Anthony)
 
Empty cans of beer on the floor
the coats they don't hang on the walls.
Empty boxes of nothing at all
and no one returning my calls.

Never I have enough money.
Never can do what I'd like.
Nowhere to go to see pretty young girls
but meet those that I'd like to strike.

Empty frames of nothing.
There use to be something in there.
Used to be filled with pretty young girls
but now they just don't seem to care.

Broken bottles of beer on the floor
and the coats they don't hang on the walls.
Empty boxes of nothing at all
and no one returning my calls.

High
(James G)
 
A most wondrous sight to see
a view of landscape beauty
Closer to the clouds
and farther from the city
Come climb with me

High atop this mountain
fly free with me
Don't think twice about it
come climb with me

Hundreds of feet
above civilization
Leaving behind
so much frustration
Still alone
after so long
Looking for answers
writing this song

So much behind me
the days, they pass so slow
I'm young and free
ahead, an infinite road
There's something in life for me
someday soon I'll find it
End of being lonely
'til then, I'll have to hide it

Come climb with me
high atop this mountain
Fly free with me
you won't have to doubt it
Try it and you'll see
high atop this mountain
Fly free with me
you won't have to doubt it

Wanting, waiting, wishing, wondering
when the day will come
Passing, pushing, pulling, pondering
love, sure wish I had some
I know in my heart, if given the chance
I can seize the day
Just a push start, walk before I dance
Then I'll be on my way........

Feeling complete
though not on my feet
Travel through my thoughts
at lightning speed
Women, Government
School, Employment
Still, more thoughts of you
alluring enjoyment

Come climb with me
high atop this mountain
Fly free with me
you won't have to doubt it
Try it and you'll see
high atop this mountain
Fly free with me
you won't have to doubt it

For You My Friends
(Steven Anthony)
 
Tortured souls, spirit grows
Night time rolls with the groove of the city
Feelings fly, drinks are dry
Will we die on this very night
Shattered cries, through the skies
Many rise to pay their dues
Men of four, raging war
Final score and we all lose
The choice is up to you......
And what we do

We laugh, we shake our heads
We live on time when time is lent
We spin on dimes and turn on end
This is for you my friends

Whispers high, tone is low
the curtains rise to start the show
Sand bags fall, look out below
The patrons turn and go
Make your mind, take a stand
If you cry, then your not a man
You can try to satisfy
But inside you know you can't

Nerves of steel, they're not real
Sweat, it rains from every pore
Final story, kill for glory
You think you're scared but you're not sure

All is done, the cowards run
That was fun but it's time I go
Another time, some other place
But where, I don't care to go
Some other time, another place,
but where we go I don't care to Know

Signature (instrumental)
(James G & Steven Anthony)

Full Throttle
(Steven Anthony)

Wheres the whisky
I guess it must be
Time to party
How bout Bacardi
Any mixer
You know its quicker
Out the bottle
I go full throttle

How bout the hoochie
How bout the coochie

Been asking about me
Tell her Im home

Gettin wild always on my mind
Feelin good

And never hesitate
9 Oclock
Friday Night

9 Oclock
Friday Night

Tell her I said
what a shock, what a site

How shes grown
How shes tone
I wish I had one of my own
For myself
Maybe two
Maybe three
One for you
Two for me
That makes nine
Sounds just fine
Cant get this girl off my mind
She was yours
Now shes mine
Gettin wild always on my mind
Feelin good

Sweet as sugar
Sour as grapes
Sweet as sugar
Sour as grapes
Let me be your great escape
From the world
Of everyday

In the backseat
Thats where I greet
All my fresh meat
Brand new interior
Never inferior
She was yours

Gettin wild always on my mind
Feelin good

Never stop
And never hesitate
Hit the gas not the breaks
Makin my pass
Givin you shakes
Givin you goosebumps
Spankin the rumps
Knee highs and fresh pumps
Dont you taste Scrumptious

Now she's mine
Gettin wild always on my mind
Feelin good

Never stop
And never hesitate
