Oh baby I know it’s been a long time
These summer nights have been a grind but now we’re coming into our prime
It took a while to materialize
But now we’re in this place, and I saw your face with that look in your eyes
You can count on me…. To make it all feel right
You can count on me… to get you that good feeling
We’re getting closer… with the game on the line, we’re doing fine
Just the other day, you were in a rain cloud
Everything grey, you were yelling so loud
I couldn’t help myself (you’re) / acting like someone else (and)
This shit bad for your health (you) / gotta express yourself (so)
I said keep your damn composure
And brush the dirt off of your shoulder
It’s in the eye of the beholder
So baby get a little closer
I know you got your heart on fire
So go and use it to inspire those around you
It’s no surprise what you desire
Walking on wire but I see you…
I see you getting closer…. To have it all feel right
And we’re getting closer… to getting that good feeling
We’re getting closer… with the game on the line, we’re doing fine
Oh baby I know it’s been a long fight
We put in time and did it right and now the light is shining so bright
From here up to the sky (you’re) / not one to say goodbye (you)
Had your eyes on the prize (but) / you needed my advice (to)
To keep your damn composure
And brush the dirt off of your shoulder
It’s in the eye of the beholder
So baby give it to the closer

Caught you thinkin aloud
Talkin like nobody’s around
About love, and the meaning of life
Contemplation that can give you strife
Well, you got your head in the clouds
Come on down so we can figure this out
With looove, and musical ambition
I will show you what you have been missing
Wake up honey, you say you gotta make some money
But I don’t need that to be with you
Ain’t it funny, how you wanna be somebody
But I can see that, you just can’t choose who
Workin through your weekends
Stressin, goin off the deepend
Looove ain’t in that business
Find your flexibility and forgiveness
Well, you’d better move fast
Jump this ship and make yourself a new path
With loooove, and musical ambition
We can knock this funk into commission
Wake up honey, you say you gotta make some money
But I don’t need that to be with you
Ain’t it funny, how you wanna be somebody
But I can see that, you just can’t choose who
Wake up honey

I know, I know, I know, what you’re gonna say
I want you but babe you gotta go away
I know what you gotta do
Never look back I’d never get over you
I don’t mind, you lookin for a new day
Put it behind you don’t need me anyway
Lock it up, throw away the key
The thoughts of you and me
I got it bad
I can’t get you out of my head
What we had
The kind of love that I want back
You know (you know, you know) what you put me through?
All these thoughts in my head of losing you
(but) You know that you ain’t gotta leave
What’s it gonna take for you to ever see?
You know that you gotta stay
I can’t have it any single other way
Who knows what this all could be?
With thoughts of you and me…
I got it bad
I can’t get you out of my head
What we had
The kind of love that I want back
THOUGHTS OF YOU / GET ME THROUGH
I got it bad
I can’t get you out of my head
What we had
The kind of love that I want back

I can see for miles
Baby, and I see that
I sure do like your style
And maybe, you’d see me
Stay with you a while
But baby, believe me
If you put this all on trial
Well that’s when I get the feeling
Who told you about love?
This is not what I was thinking of
Who told you what you do is true?
So baby what are we to do?
Have you ever wondered what it’s like?
To be on my side, and in my life
And do you fantasize, about us getting down and dirty just you and…
I think if you’re ready to be steady
Well girl I’m telling you I’d qualify
I been out here searching, I’ve been working
But girl I’m telling you that this won’t fly
Who told you about love?
This is not what I was thinking of
Who told you what you do is true?
So baby what are we to do?

I’ve been thinking about
The ways the world could end / Could I defend
Could I figure it out?
A way to win a war against
A zombie army of the undead
Ooooo, you best be careful where you’re steppin
And get a grip on all your weapons
It’s time to gather your possessions
DASH
Step to the deck with the microphone check
Complex rudiments get set and go
Feel the vibe live on the floor
Shake with the bass as break in the mold
Hold on to your hats as the jazz comes back
Screaming from the horns on an analog track
Remix the style with the file abstract
You best believe that we are fighting
For, the future of the world
Of zombie guts and gore
If the apocalypse would happen
You gotta know what to be packin
For, the future of the world
Of zombie guts and gore
If the apocalypse would happen
Better get ready for some action
DASH
Takin funk high tech, pumpin out content
This is James Brown meets Star Trek
Going broadband, digital to augment
Time and distance, listen on the internet
This is live stream, brighter than a laser beam
Cuttin up the decks, Yukon is the home team
Heal your wounds when the tunes start floating
Music kill the pain like codeine
I’ve been running around
With my supplies could I survive the night
With the undead abound
It’s time to fight for my own life
And stab some zombies with a bread knife
Ooooo, you best be careful where you’re steppin
And get a grip on all your weapons
It’s time to gather your possessions
You best believe that we are fighting
For, the future of the world
Of zombie guts and gore
If the apocalypse would happen
You gotta know what to be packin
For, the future of the world
Of zombie guts and gore
If the apocalypse would happen
Better get ready for some action
