___________________ LYRICS
THREE SUMMER STORIES (Lyrics by Frank Orrall) My first real surf board was a lightning bolt
I was so stoked, I practically slept with that thing
Some nights before we went out surfing...
man......I could barely sleep
Before the would rise, we’d already be on our way to the beach
Awww baby check this wave out!
I got so barreled and still made it out
I got my style down just like Lopez
On our way home lets stop for an Icee
We used to trick out these old stingrays
Take the seat off and the fenders off
Strip the bike down of everything that it didn’t need
Make it look like a – make it look like a flat track
Bend the handlebars out wide
I had this old orange BSA motorcycle t-shirt
that my brother gave me...I used to wear it in the rain
We’d make motocross races in the park
Set up a ramp – see how many trash cans we could jump, I thought I was Steve Paint it black with a can of spray paint
get some forks and stretch the extension
oh, o – o – o on any Sunday
Evel Knievel’s gonna jump the grand canyon!
In my punk rock mod days
I used to drive a vespa motor scooter
I had this beautiful 150 vespa sprint
With a full wind screen and a cop seat
Bought it out on the windward side,
Drove it home - Never forget it,
I painted it maroon and cream
Decked it out with a Hawaiian flag And a bunch of mirrors
We had a little scooter club....
y’know...It was total “Quadrophenia”
We used to go riding down, go out dancing to ska
Down in Waikiki
We were cool and the gang until marky crashed and mikey died Aw let’s drive around the island
And maybe catch a flick at Wai’alae drive-in
We’ll make the scene you know the girls like riding
I like to dive in the thunder and lightning
GODLESS CHURCH (Lyrics by Frank Orrall) while I was out walking in the godless church
of the great outdoors on the space ship earth
the mountains glaciers where dripping into cool clean droplets
of water flowing back back into dirt
I followed the stream down through the alpine line
past the tundra where the eagles fly,
down into valleys shaded with tall trees
above moist beds thick with fallen leaves
I came upon a pond with deer head bent drinking
ears turned hard back - hard back listening
a whole forest knowing of my approaching
coming down off the mountain I felt that it could take me and I would not ultimately mind
not as I would if in a hospital bed
while being fed Vicaden and morphine through a drip
I'd rather have my bones picked clean by animal teeth here in the godless church
the original thought rings on and on
here in the godless church
the original original truth echoes on and on
every lesson here in the godless church
of the great outdoors on the space ship earth
for here in nature - reason has no question
is - is just is
here in the godless church
the original thought rings on and on
here in the godless church
the original original truth echoes on and on
_____________
ALL AROUND THE WORLD (Lyrics by Frank Orrall) blood from the sky
food for the earth
bare-feet on wet earth
those where respectable days arms stretched out
I'm waiting for the sun
I got my back
against the grass
and the sun is rising 24 hours a day
(all around the world)
and the astronauts are drifting out in space (all around the world)
and the sun is rising 24 hours a day
(all around the world)
and the satellites are floating out in space (24 hours a day)
continents are drifting
lava rising from the sea
Chile and Peru are growing
higher everyday
workers in the factories
bankers on the streets
I'm gathering sand dollars
and setting them free there are grave plots all over green hill sides by the high ways
they took to work every day __________________________
SWEETNESS (Lyrics by Carla Prather, Susan Voelz & Frank Orrall) The light on her
was beautiful
Let it shine
The light on her
was beautiful
Let it pick you up
Let it pick you up now
Sweetness in answer to your meekness Such a sweet sweet melody
When you're here with me
Knowing when
I need you in
My life my mind when I am stressed My heart is filled with your sweetness Home again
Is the feeling in
My soul my peace you give me rest
Inside you I find Happiness
(My heart is healed through your sweetness)
He’s not evil; he’s just bad
But once the two of you were like the northern lights Do you long to be?
Do you long to return
to your sweetness?
to your sweetness

SONO QUI (Lyrics by Susan Voelz) So you think you’re in love
With the girl on the dance floor?
Well, here I am..just as I am
Zipped up coat, hands in my pockets 3 AM, red boots and my glasses
So you want that girl
The one on the dance?
Well here I am... just as I am
I’m Incredibly smart..I could be a genius
You want that girl?
Kiss me I love you let’s dance.
When the bass plays up high
and the drums play just right (or ‘and the drums play down low’) Here I am...just like that
Here I am...all that I am
roses are red violets are blue
come here I want to talk with you
roses are red violets are blue
come here I want to go home with you
roses are red violets are blue
come here I’m gonna make love with you roses are red violets are blue
come here I’m gonna spend my life with you Here I am...just like that
Here I am...all that I am, all that I am
