I met a girl the other day,
sitting by herself eating BBQ potato chips.
She was waiting for the A train.
I said "Hey girl what is your name?"
I know it's not my business,
and after some insistence,
a couple of friends of hers
informed me that her name was Lenalane.
The girl I heard all about,
that likes to scream and fuss even when she's fine.
I look forward to discovering exactly what's on your mind.
Lenalane,
what's goin' on in your brain?
Lenalane,
I hope you're feeling good.
Lenalane, Lenalane, insane.

You're Mine and I Want You - By Jeff Watts.
The night becomes a warm embrace,
In shades of blue,
You're mine and I want you.
My heart desires a resting place,
What can I do?
You're mine and I want you now.
I know it seems,
We may be a bit unsure.
But just in case,
I'll accept the blame
Just the way you are,
makes me do things
I don't want to do,
Wanting to just the same.
When dreams can seem,
to feel so right
They must be true.
You're mine and I want you.
You're mine and I want you now.

Waltz for Marvin - by Jeff Watts
Marvin's message
Gave us warning.
Not much progress
In our learning.
Can't breathe, shakin'
From all the fracking, frisking.
Our world's crying, no one's listening.
Marvin's message
Gave us warning.
Not much progress
In our learning.
Can't breathe, chokin'
From all the fracking, frisking.
Our world's burning, time for listening.
We all must be as one you see.
Let's all join hands to rise above.
'Til wars and hatred dissipate
'Til what remains remains is peace and love.
And peace and love.
And peace and love.
And peace and love.
And peace and love.
And peace and love.
And peace and love.
