Can You Stay 04:16
lyrics
buy track
Well I saw you across the room Where you going so soon Can you stay Cause I want to feel that fire And that moonlit desire Can you stay Well your friends are walking And they’re pulling you away But the music is calling And I’m begging you to stay But the dance floors really growing And I don’t want you going Can you stay, Can you stay Can you stay I’m talking about tonight Can you stay with me Until they turn on the lights It’s alright I said I like the way The way that you move and sway in the night It’s alright Stay with me tonight Well do you want to dance Just give me one chance What do you say Cause the night is still young And my favorite song is about to play Well you say you’ll be right back And begin to walk away Now my mind is racing for the perfect words to say And the crowd starts singing and I keep on wishing that you stay Can you stay, can you stay

Weekend Warriors 04:36

Looking a mess Dress for success Cause I’m getting ready to go A Shave Shit Shower Relieves my stress Yeah, I’m the star of the show Knock, knock, knock It’s nine o’ clock My main man is at the door Whiskey and beer kicks us in gear Just like the night before Weekend Warriors This is how we play the game The game, the game Out on the street People to greet As we pass them by The city lights are bright tonight Yeah the limit is the sky We’ve arrived feeling alive Moving with the groove 10 to 2 It’s all on you To make your move Weekend Warriors This is how we play the game This is how we play the game The game, the game We drink all night And get ready for sweet delight The hunt is on And we’ll prowl until the early dawn She’s waiting for you And you know just what to do For one look turns to one touch to one feel Lets play Their eyes on you A party of two Approach with drinks in hand No hesitation no calculations just stick to the plan Make escalation of conversation Anything you can employ Stay with the pair or move without despair it don’t matter just enjoy Weekend Warriors This is how we play the game This is how we play the game This is how we play the game The game, the game

Hey Laura 05:55

Hey Laura What’s going on What did I say Tell me what went wrong Oh where have you gone Your rose withered away before summer came along Meanwhile, I’ve been thinking up in my room Maybe I should call Maybe its too soon Thinking of the perfect words to say As the sun leaves with the day Rose petals fall When she doesn’t call Maybe she loves me Maybe not at all Questions that are driving me insane Tell me whose to blame A Spring day is wasted away Looking out my window Tree branches sway And moving with the breeze Flowers fall like leaves And I’m thinking hey laura What’s going on What did I say Tell me what went wrong Oh where have you gone before summer came along rose petals are falling Hey Laura Did you change your mind Or was it made this whole time Oh I got to know tell me one thing Before I go Those days when calling again and again We planned meeting Thursday and dreamed till then Was I everything you pictured me to be Tell me what do you see Her perfume still fills the air Her glass is still empty and I still stare At rose petals falling to the ground But there’s still no ringing sound A Spring day is wasted away Looking out my window Tree branches sway And moving with the breeze Flowers fall like leaves And I’m thinking hey Laura What’s going on What did I say Tell me what went wrong Oh where have you gone before summer came along rose petals are falling Rose petals are falling Now that you are gone Rose petals are falling Before summer comes along Rose petals are falling Now that you are gone Rose petals are falling Woah oh oh In hindsight While the stars are bright Looking at the pictures of smiles that lasted through the night Woah oh oh Laura baby I close my eyes As one tear dries Thinking what could have been And still asking why Asking why, asking why, woah oh oh Petals falling (falling down, falling down) Rose petals are falling (falling down, falling down) Rose petals are falling Now that you are gone Rose petals are falling Woah oh oh

Red, Black and Blue 05:26
lyrics

When a thug with a badge catches you by surprise He says take one step back and raise your hands to the sky When you’re in fear and there’s nothing you can do That’s when the flag is red, black, and blue When fear is the law of the land When you’re locked up for things that you just don’t understand When there are words that you cannot speak When they need no proof it’s not the truth But victims that they seek That’s when the flag is red, black, and blue When you make a call while you’re home alone and there’s someone else listening through your phone When you gotta watch your back cause you know they’re watching too They’ll see me and I’ll see red, black, and blue When your family shares your pain and cries And when the news profits while they construe the truth to lies When those with power have the wrongfully accused Taken away and have them pay it’s power that’s abused That’s when the flag is red, black, and blue As the jails in the land overflow As the power and the greed slowly grow As the fear spread with the lies As the sons and daughters wipe the tears from their eyes As the rich feed from the poor And as the chants in the streets are sung more and more As the Founding Fathers roll in their graves they cry This is the land of the prisoner and home of the slave
