Lion Eyes

She watches from a table at the bar
She’s young and wild and able preying from afar
Her mane is burnt and auburn like the newest breed
Her skin is soft and golden made of greed
She looks right through your heart
That smile sharp in the dark
She wants you to surrender
That pretty appetite
Is fiending through the night
She wants you to surrender
Lion eyes, her lion eyes
She wants you she needs you
She’s got to feed those
Lion eyes
Her happiness is tortured ecstasy
She wants you to adore her faithfully
She looks right through your heart
That smile sharp in the dark
She wants you to surrender
That pretty appetite
Is fiending through the night
She wants you to surrender
Lion eyes, her lion eyes
She wants you she needs you
She’s got to feed those
Lion eyes
She’ll catch you and deceive you
Make love to you and leave
As she prowls in her disguise
Lion eyes, her lion eyes
She wants you she needs you
She’s got to feed those
Lion eyes

I miss the music in Austin
Patio lights and a lone star band
Simple songs with new friends
I miss the music in Austin
I got a job that pays the bills
Playing songs for folk eating fancy meals
Traveling around in cheap hotels
I got a job that pays the bills
And I feel lost when I’m far away
Searching for the sun on a cloudy day
Till I’m under open sky I pray
I feel lost when I’m far away
Ooh
I’ve seen mountains and ocean blue
Flown twice as high as eagles do
Gone everywhere I needed to
But I miss the music in Austin
I miss the music in Austin
Patio lights and a lone star band
Simple songs with new friends
I miss the music in Austin
Ooh

Bring Your Fire To Me
04:52

Wild nights ago I walked alone
Weary eyes and lungs filled with smoke
You came by
Burning bright
Time and time again you’ve been my flame
Always seemed to find you in my frame
And as we grew
The flame did too
Be my coal and I’ll burn for you madly
Light the troubled dark and warm the way
I’d travel miles just to see you
Bring your fire to me
Ooh…
The calling of the road took you away
Comfort of a life without a pace
So you roamed
Leaving home
Keep me with you darling as you go
My love for you the distance doesn’t show
But I beg
And I plea
Be my coal and I’ll burn for you madly
Light the troubled dark and warm the way
I’d travel miles just to see you
Bring your fire to me
Ooh…
Ooh
Be my coal and I’ll burn for you madly
Light the troubled dark and warm the way
I’d travel miles just to see you
Bring your fire to me
Bring your fire to me
Ooh…
Ooh…

Jewels

This night is getting longer
Softly waiting for a sign
Hauntings cold in my cup the
Spirits singing in my mind
Is this a good time maybe
To tell you I need you right now?
I’m an outside of stone
With jewels on the inside
I’m an outside of stone
With jewels on the inside
On the inside
My thoughts are always running
To break down the walls of their escape
But I am hard as gravel
And I can’t let them get away
I’m an outside of stone
With jewels on the inside
I’m an outside of stone
With jewels on the inside
I’m an outside of stone
With jewels on the inside
On the inside
Raw with jade, different ways
In my mind to play it right
Ruby cave
And diamonds (x3)
I’m an outside of stone
With jewels on the inside
I’m an outside of stone
With jewels on the inside
I’m an outside of stone
With jewels on the inside
On the inside

I Wanna Be In Love
04:03
|

I pick up my phone
Ring a guy I know
He’s alright
Pick me up at ten
But I’d rather stay in
Oh well, I go
Shotgun in his car
To his favorite bar
And I don’t care
About his fancy job
Or the view inside his loft
I’m just looking for a friend
Someone to be with at the end
Of the day
I wanna be in love, ooh
In love
Buys us drinks for two
Says the place is new
I smile and nod
Try to act involved
As I swim in alcohol
But it’s so hard
To find someone who’s sweet
Handsome and offbeat
I’m just looking for a friend
Someone to be with at the end
Of the day
I wanna be in love, ooh
In love
A man who holds me close
Dandelion rose from the ground
I feel him in my bones
Fields of blossoms grow
When I’m found
I’m just looking for a friend
Someone to be with at the end
Of the day
I wanna be in love, ooh
In love
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la…

Da da…
My breaths are shorter these days
I think about every word
Years change the way you see
Does worry really have worth?
I just wanna swim
In the biggest ocean
Climb the tallest mountain
Just to show that I’m alive
To show that I tried
That I gave it all in life
Da da…
My hands are stronger it seems
Worn and dirty as I play
I’m getting closer to my dreams
Slowly molding into clay
I just wanna swim
In the biggest ocean
Climb the tallest mountain
Just to show that I’m alive
To show that I tried
That I gave it all in life
Da da…
It’s coming up roses
On my knees
And I will not falter
I will lead
Breaking the static I am free (repeat in round)
…I’ll be free
I just wanna swim
In the biggest ocean
Climb the tallest mountain
Just to show that I’m alive
To show that I tried
That I gave it all in life
Da da…
