CITY STREETS
Lyrics to music by Nick Pellicano
STEAM RISING FROM THE SIDEWALK SHADOWS CLINGING TO THE WALLS
JOHNNY NOGOOD IS WAITING TO TAKE YOU TO THE MARBLE HALLS
YOU CAN HEAR HIM SHUFFLING ROUND HE WAITS HIS TURN TO DRAG YOU DOWN
YOU CAN RUN BUT YOU CANNOT HIDE GONNA GET YOU ON THE OUTSIDE
“COME OVER HERE AND TALK TO ME I GOT SOMETHING THAT YOU WANNA SEE.
DO YOU WANNA LIVE OR DO YOU WANNA DIE? I’LL TAKE YOUR MONEY OR YOUR LIFE.
PLAIN TO SEE AIN’ T NO GOOD IN ME A HEART OF ICE AND A SHINY KNIFE.”
IF YOU GO DOWN THE CITY TONIGHT YOU’D BETTER GO IN DISGUISE
IF YOU GO DOWN THE CITY TONIGHT YOU’RE IN FOR A BIG SURPRISE
IF YOU GO DOWN THE CITY TONIGHT YOU’D BETTER GO IN DISGUISE
IF YOU GO DOWN THE CITY TONIGHT YOU JUST MIGHT LOSE YOUR LIFE
DOWN ON THE STREETS HERE IN THE CITY YOUR LIFE IS ON THE LINE

Footprint in the Sand Melody and lyrics to an original track by Nick Pellicano
SHE WALKS THROUGH THE WINDOWS OF MY MIND
A PRECIOUS MEMORY I’M SEARCHIN TO FIND
BUT I WAKE FROM THIS DAYDREAM ALONE
JUST A WRONG NUMBER ON MY TELEPHONE
SO NEAR AND YET SO FAR AWAY IN THE SHADOWS OF MY DREAMS
NOT HERE TOMORROW AND SHE’S GONE TODAY – NOTHING’S LIKE IT SEEMS
SHE COMES AND GOES A SILVER WRAITH
WHILE I REMEMBER AND KEEP THE FAITH
ON THE EDGE OF NEAR AND FAR HOPELESSLY DISTANT AS A STAR
I REACH OUT TO HER INSIDE MY HEAD
MY FINGERS GRASPING FOR HER HAND
BUT SHE IS GONE FOREVER DEAD
JUST A FOOTPRINT IN THE SAND
A FOOTPRINT IN THE SAND
JUST A FOOTPRINT IN THE SAND
I REACH OUT TO HER INSIDE MY HEAD
MY FINGERS GRASPING FOR HER HAND
BUT SHE IS GONE FOREVER DEAD
JUST A FOOTPRINT IN THE SAND
I TRY TO TAKE HER HAND NOW WE’RE APART
BUT SHE LIVES ON INSIDE MY HEART

GOTTA LIFT
I tried to hide, but I took me for a ride,
I went awry, but that was just a lie,
I’m flying blind, over the line,
I have no time time time, just a sparkle in my eye…
Your happy tears take away my fears,
you are the wings making angels fly,
you are my eye, a prayer to the sky,
you are the flower on the vine turning water into wine….
Milagro cielo, solo cielo, lo sabe corrazon…

WE STUMBLED BLINDLY LIKE FOOLS
IN A CHILDREN’S PARTY GAME
WE STOPPED PLAYING BY THE RULES
AND NOTHING STAYED THE SAME
WE CUT EACH OTHER SO DEEP
AND EVERY WOUND HAS LEFT A SCAR
IT’S JUST THE WAY WE ARE
DO YOU REMEMBER HOW LOVE BURNED?
DO THE MEMORIES EVER STIR?
SO SAD WE CAN’T RETURN
TO JUST THE WAY WE WERE
TOO LATE FOR MAKING UP WHAT’S DONE IS DONE
NO END TO BREAKING UP OUR RACE IS RUN
TOO MUCH BLOODY WATER UNDERNEATH THE BRIDGE
TOO LATE FOR GIVING QUARTER NO DYING WISH
IT’S JUST THE WAY WE ARE

VS 1
I LIE ON MY BACK IN THE SUMMER FIELDS THE GENTLE SUN SMILING DOWN
THIS DAY IS MINE TO USE AS I FEEL THERE’S NO-ONE AROUND
THE SONG OF THE SKYLARK TUMBLES FROM THE SKY
THE CADENCE OF LIFE SOARING HIGH
A PERFECT DAY HAS BLOWN MY WAY AND YOU ARE ON MY MIND
CHORUS
(ON MY MIND) YOU KNOW I DREAM ABOUT YOU
(ON MY MIND) YOUR LOVE HAS MADE ME BLIND
(ON MY MIND) I CANNOT LIVE WITHOUT YOU
(ON MY MIND) YOU’RE ALWAYS ON MY MIND
BRIDGE
WALKING BY A STREAM THROWING PEBBLES IN THE WATER
DREAMING OF THE NEXT TIME YOU’LL BE HERE WITH ME
COUNTING OUT THE HOURS, PACING OUT THE MINUTES
DREAMING OF THE NEXT TIME YOUR LOVE WILL SET ME FREE
SOLO
ALWAYS ON MY MIND – YOU’RE ALWAYS ON MY MIND ETC

VS 1
YOU CAN’T HOLD ME ANYMORE
YOU DON’T OWN ME THAT’S FOR SURE
NOW I FINALLY KNOW THE SCORE
I DON’T NEED YOU ANYMORE
HEARTBREAKER, DREAM TAKER, PAIN MAKER, FORSAKER
SOLO
VS 2
YOU DON’T FOOL ME NOW
I’M NOT IN LOVE WITH YOU ANYHOW
YOU THOUGHT YOU’D DESERT ME
YOU TRIED TO HURT ME
BUT I GOT WISE TO YOU SOMEHOW
HEARTBREAKER, DREAM TAKER, PAIN MAKER, FORSAKER
HEARTBREAKER, HEARTBREAKER, HEARTBREAKER,

TEN AFTER MIDNIGHT A TRUCKSTOP PARKING LOT
SOMETHING DON’T FEEL RIGHT I CHECK ON WHAT IGOT
TWO ARMS TWO LEGS AND AN ACHING HEAD
MY HORIZON’S SO FAR AND THE WORLD IS SO WIDE
CAN’T FIND A TRUCK TO GIVE ME A RIDE
A STRANGER ON THE SIDEWALK A FACE IN THE CROWD
BETTER HURRY ON BY I CARRY YOUR SHROUD
ETERNAL MIDNIGHTS JUST DRIFTNG AROUND
AIMLESS I WANDER FROM CITY TO TOWN
NO COINS IN MY POCKET A HOLE IN MY SHOE
MY WORLD’S AN OYSTER SOMEBODY ELSE ATE
I RIDE THROUGH THE NIGHT TO BRING YOU YOUR FATE
VAGABOND VAGABOND VAGABOND

THE SKY WAS FALLING UPON THE WATER
YOU WERE CALLING ACROSS THE WAVES
I COULD NOT HEAR YOU I WAS NOT NEAR YOU
TOO LATE YOU CRIED OUT TO BE SAVED
LIKE A LEAF FLOATING ON THE WATER
I HEARD YOUR VOICE IN THE WIND
TOO LATE
TOO LATE TO REACH YOU TOO LATE TO TAKE YOUR HAND
TOO LATE TO PROTECT YOU TO MAKE OUR FINAL STAND
TOO LATE TO BE YOUR HERO AND KEEP YOU BY MY SIDE
I HAVE FAILED AND LOVE HAS DIED
NOW I WANDER ACROSS THIS DESERT
I LIVE WITHOUT YOU I LIVE WITHOUT LOVE
THERE IS NO COMFORT I HAVE NO SOLACE
JUST THE CRUEL SUN BEATING FROM ABOVE
I AM BLOWN A WORTHLESS GRAIN OF SAND
WITH ONLY MEMORIES OF THE TOUCH OF YOUR HAND
NO OASIS FOR THIS ETERNAL THIRST
I HAVE LOVED AND FATE HAS DONE HER WORST
TOO LATE MUCH TOO LATE
TOO LATE THE HEAVY HAND OF FATE
TOO LATE I’VE LOST YOU FOR ALL TIME
TOO LATE THE LOVE WE HAD WILL NEVER BE MINE

ENDLESS HORIZONS, WE GO RIDING
SHE LAUGHS IN MY EAR, SHOWING NO FEAR
KICKING UP SOME DUST ROLLING DOWN A WESTERN ROAD
MAKING FOR THE SUN DON’T CARE WHERE WE GO
FEEL THE POWER BENEATH ME ROLL ME ALONG
A TANK FULL OF GAS AND THE WIND FOR A SONG RIDING
SUN IS SHINING, SHE IS SMILING
WORLD IS TURNING, WE ARE BURNING
I TAKE HER HAND, WE CROS S THE SAND, TOES COOL IN THE SEA
WE’LL DREAM AWAY, THIS PERFECT DAY, LADY YOU AND ME
HORIZONS FADING , WE GO WADING, OCEANS CRASH AND ROAR ON THE SHORE

TERMINALLY HIP
VS 1
HE WALKS THE WRONG WAY DOWN A ONE WAY STREET
NO TICKET HOME GOT NO FRIENDS TO MEET
ALL AROUND IS FREEDOM THAT HE CAN’T BUY
CAN’T AFFORD TO WALK I N, WALK IN AND TRY
HIS POCKETS ARE SHALLOW BUT THE GUTTER IS DEEP
AIN’T THAT ENOUGH TO MAKE A YOUNG MAN WEEP
BRIDGE
IF HE KNEW THERE WAS SOMEONE OUT THERE
HOW COOL THAT WOULD BE
WITH A WOMAN SO FINE, LIKE SPARKLING WINE
WHAT A DIFFERENT FELLOW HE WOULD SURELY BE
M8
ALL THESE YEARS IN HOLLYWOOD TRYING TO MAKE A NAME
HE KNOWS HE COULD BE JUST AS GOOD AS THE ONES WHO FLAUNT THEIR FAME
HE COULD BE THAT BILLBOARD STAR SMILNG DOWN ON THE STRIP
IN THE DESIRABLE ITAI LAN CAR STRIVING TO BE TERMINALLY HIP
VS2
HE WANTS TO MAKE IT BIG TAKE THE WORLD BY STORM
BUT HE CAN’T DO IT ON HIS OWN NEEDS SOMEONE TO KEEP HIM SAFE AND WARM
A MOVIE QUEEN WILL DO JUST FINE SOMEONE WHO KNOWS THE SCORE
THAT LITTLE WAITRESS DOWN THE HALL
SHE JUST WON’T CUT IT ANY MORE
HE’S A REAL PLAYER A TOUR DE FORCE
HE’LL BREAK OUT IN TIME OF COURSE
HE’S A STAR IN WAITING THE NEXT BIG THING
GONNA MAKE THOSE GROUPIES WAIL AND SING

YOU’LL NEVER CHANGE
VS1
JUST LIKE BEFORE
YOU’RE TELLING ME SOMETHING
THAT I DON’T WANNA HEAR
YOU LOOK IN MY EYES
TELLING ME YOUR LIES
BUT THIS TIME YOU’VE GONE TOO FAR
CH1
I GAVE IT ALL TO YOU
BUT YOU DON’T KNOW HOW TO BE TRUE
RUNNING AROUND PLAYING YOUR GAMES
ALL OF OUR FRIENDS COULD SEE
WHAT YOU WERE DOING TO ME
NOW I KNOW
YOU’LL NEVER CHANGE
VS2
NOW I KNOW THE SCORE
AND I SEE RIGHT THROUGH YOU
I DON’T WANT YOU ANY MORE
FIND ANOTHER FOOL
WHO’LL BELIEVE THAT YOU’RE SO COOL
AND THIS TIME JUST CLOSE THE DOOR
CH2
NO MORE FOOLING MYSELF
NO MORE MAKE BELIEVE
AIN’T BUYING WHAT YOU’RE SELLING ANYMORE
YOU CAN CALL IT BREAKING UP
I CALL IT WAKING UP
AT LAST I SEE THROUGH YOUR GAME
YOU’LL NEVER CHANGE
