Tigers on Fire

Like rabbits dancing in the brier
Or the holy spirit and the dirty choir
We sweat like sinners, we never tire
In the dark we move like burning tigers

“Lay down…”

‘Voodoo' plays on the stereo
“How does it feel?” sings D'Angelo
Let's sink by the moon's silvery glow
Tonight we're gonna take it slow

“Lay down…”

Sugar, let us take our time
I'm all yours, and you are mine
Tonight your stars and mine align
Let them burn, and let us shine

“Lay down…”

Under the Samba Moon

We dance, like in some old movie
Under the samba moon
Electric to be so close…..
There's fire in our hearts

Under the samba moon

Ponies on the stereo:
“Under the Samba”
Under the samba moon
Nothing is more beautiful
Than you are right now, sweetheart
Under a samba moon
The moon has brought us together
Under a samba moon, to never drift apart
Under the samba moon
Under the samba moon
Stories swarm around us
Under the samba moon
I hold you like you're mine
We whisper we'll always stay
Together for all time
Under the samba moon, under the samba moon

Distance

To fall in love with me
Is it asking to be lonely
We have no time together
Yet I want you only
Are my words a comfort
When you can't see my face
Or are they just a reminder
We're not in the same place
If we were together
Would I hear you say
Our romance is a flower
That blossoms every day
If we were together
Would I stay for you
I'd stay my whole life
If you asked me to

Commerce in the Night

In Hamburg, the ski jackets line up the street
But these girls don't smile, and I don't think they ski
You can pay for my body
But you can't buy intimacy
These red lights they turn everything blue
We're not who we are, and that goes for me too
No one wants to be saved, no one wants to fight
Everything's alright, it's just commerce in the night

Kick and Snare

I remember when I first saw you
So fine, so cool, I could only ignore you
Surely your heart must belong to another
Who am I to think I could be your lover?
But now some time's gone by
And we don't have to be so shy
I just wanna spend every day with you
Baby, baby, please, can I kiss you?
O girl, O girl, won't you come out tonight
We can stay together ‘til the morning light
Mmm, I swear I'll hold you so tight
Until this scary world will seem alright
There's so much that we can share
We go together like a kick and snare
The beat is strong, it feels so right
We're the brightest stars in the sky tonight
Take my hand and run with me
There's no place that we won't see
The night's on fire, our dreams we're living
To each other, our hearts we're giving
We go together like a kick and snare…
O girl, O girl, won't you come out tonight
We can stay together ‘til the morning light
Mmm, I swear I'll hold you so tight
Until this scary world will seem alright
We go together like a kick and snare…

If I Am To Drown Tonight

If I am to drown tonight
I will go down without a fight
The waves will take my body
But Lord, I know, they'll leave my light

Catalina

O, Catalina
O, Catalina
I'm frozen by
The truth in your eyes
I'm silent and
The snow is coming down
This moment will never end
This moment will end
O, Catalina
O, Catalina
Have we been living for
The promise of something more?
No longer blind among
All this beauty
This moment will never end
This moment will end

Won't You Let Me

We stayed up ‘til the sun came up
Two heartbeats in your loveseat
A tiny spark in a room so dark
There's a fire in Ypsilanti
All through the night, I held you so tight
Strange as it seems, we shared a dream
What if it were revealed that the fire is real
I'd say, ‘Annie, won't you let me?'
Let me call you darling
Let me hear your voice ring
With the softest song of longing
Let me be the one thing
The one that you've been missing
Your sweet dreams every evening
If you are the rain, then I'll be the same
We'll be the weather, and fall together
What if we knew that this could be true
I'd say ‘Annie, won't you let me'?
I'd say ‘Annie, won't you let me'?

The Big Bear Song

After the gig, all our friends will meet
At Juicy's place on Ocean Street
We'll close the curtains, turn down the lights
We're gonna have a house party tonight
JC and the Killers will bring the moves
With the Ruckus, Riot, and Kenny, too
I love my friends, it's so much fun
To dance and dance ‘til we see the sun
Come a little closer, put that record on
We can dance all night to the Big Bear song
Tonight we could, we should, we will
The room's on fire, we can't sit still
Just feel the beat, don't hesitate
We'll shake, we'll shake, we'll stay up late
Closer and closer as the night goes on
Jukebox plays our favorite songs
JB‘s, Al Green, and Anna O.
Dub Narcotic, Prince, and the Blow
Come a little closer, put that record on
We can dance all night to the Big Bear song
