You're really creative when you're in an environment that you don't know how to handle. So collaborating was like that for me. I think that was one of the reasons why I knew I was gonna get a challenging reaction.

Chain Reaction
Something bout the way
The moon and the stars are moving across the sky
Something in the still night air is telling me now is the time to try
Ive been scheming, dreaming up a plan of how to get to you
Now conditions are right deep in the night
To do what Ive got to do
To start up a chain, chain, chain, chain reaction
Chain, chain, chain, chain reaction
Im no fool, Ill be cool
Its a powerful thing that Im trying to do
Gonna fix it up, mix it up good
Handle with care like I know I should
And blow it sky high, sky high
With a chain, chain, chain, chain reaction
Chain, chain, chain, chain reaction
Set a spark to the heart
That will start up the soul attraction
Get to the mystery of the chemistry
Chain, chain reaction
Chain, chain reaction
(repeat)
That fires up the satisfaction
Chain, chain reaction
Chain, chain reaction

Reaction To Action
(spoken: check 1, 1, 1)
Alright
Its hard getting through to me
Im truly elusive
I got my own point of view
I am the one of a kind
And I tell you lil girl
Im fascinated by you
Theres something about you
That makes all the difference
Like the night is to day
Well I can get along without you
But I know that within you
Youve got what Im missing
And Ill find a way
To get reaction to action
Hey, say the word that would thrill me
Yeah, I need reaction to action
Just one look that would kill me
You got a way of drawing attention to you
You know you stand out in a crowd
But the way that you play
With any mans affections
Should never be allowed
See I consider myself
The one who will show you
Id go as far as to say
Girl, I aint leaving here without you
But you better understand
Theres only one rule in this game were gonna play
And thats reaction to action
Maybe like a word that would thrill me
I need reaction to action
One look that would kill me
Give me reaction to action
Its getting late Id better make a definite move
Reaction to action
And after that baby, its up to you
I need reaction to action
Just a word that would thrill me
I need reaction to action
You know what Im talking about
Give me some reaction to action
You got a look, you got a way thatll kill me
Reaction to action, reaction to action, action
Baby, dont think about it, just react
Reaction to action
Reaction to action
Reaction to action
Reaction to action
Reaction to action
Reaction to action

Sonnet: There Are Reasons for All Things
There must be reasons for the shaking leaves;
There must be reasons for the swaying trees;
There must be reasons for the drying sheaves;
There must be reasons causing any breeze.
There must be reasons for the waves at sea;
There must be reasons for ripples in pond;
There must be reasons for the sea briny;
There must be reasons for a mutual bond.
There must be reasons for the changing climes;
There must be reasons for both drought and rain;
There must be reasons for good and bad times;
There must be reasons for a boon or bane.
There must be reasons for all things on earth;
But not much reasons why men sin since birth!

The gays like 'Project Runway' because it's a fashion, and the gays are into fashion and into design. It's a creative industry, and most of the gays are pretty creative, in general. That's just like the culture. We're not all into politics necessarily. We're more into the creative environment. I also think Heidi is a big draw. The boys love Heidi and think she's so fabulous. I just think it's a glitzy, fun show, and there are also always lots of gay boys on it, and, you know, that's fun.

Ill Be Hard To Handle
Now well say till something do us part
That old dad of mine aint got a heart
Any girl whos out for pleasure
Thinks of marriage only at her leisure
As it is, theyve got the horse behind the cart
When my pop said we must wed,
He kind of wowed me, still Im read-y
But one thing must be clear
At this time
Ill be hard to handle
I promise you that
And if you complain
Heres one little jane
Wholl leave you flat
Ill be hard to handle
What else can I be
I say with a shrug
I think youre a mug
To marry me
When you first threw me a gander
I was willing to philander
But I never thought Id have to be a bride
Now youre gonna find tough sledding
I dont want no shotgun wedding
I was only along for the ride
Ill be hard to handle
Im telling you plain
Just be a dear
And scram out of here
Im gonna raise cain
Ill be hard to handle
My bridges are burned
This weddings a gag
And youre in the bag
Where Im concerned
Ill be hard to handle
When weve said, I do
See theres no hope
I just got a dope
When I took you
Ill be living my life in bed
But they always will be twin beds
And I warn you, youll be living like a monk
Our affair is now a past one
So dont think youve pulled a fast one
Just remember, I think youre a punk!
Ill be hard to handle
Im no ball and chain
Ill find some means
To call the marines
Im gonna raise cain
Gonna raise cain
Im telling you plain
Im gonna raise cain

What Is Love?
Is love a feeling that everyone
encounters? Is love a feeling
which someone can handle? Is
love a reaction that everyone
must balance? Is love a reaction
which someone need perhaps? Is
love lust or someone's imbalance?
Is love pain or everyone's shame?
Is love abusive? I think not; It
should not lead anyone to harbor
doubt. Love will be what you
make it; And it won't collapse.
Love is really your point of view
perhaps. Is love enhanced or is
love a tender advance? Is it
love at all? If you have to ask,
explain or demand, I think not;
True love is joy, hope, peace,
and faith in man. So love will
always be what you make it I see;
or perhaps what it should be. A
beautiful reaction between two
people happily; I hope you all see.

Hard For Them to Believe
I was asked,
At a time...
If I knew what I was doing?
As if my thoughts,
Could not produce my deeds.
As if my efforts,
Did not match where I lived.
Since I was born and lived in the ghetto.
And I should not be aware or know,
Of those things I did!
As If my blackness was for them limited!
Like it was for friends I had,
And some relatives.
All believing then I was trying to be white...
And not the black neighborhood kid!
Who did for me,
What I knew was right!
They believed I should be,
That kind to clown and be down to Earth.
And not have a mind as creative as mine!
With dreams to fulfill...
That broke down barriars and walls,
Others believed I existed behind!
And not to know my own value or worth.
Or reach for heights...
Few I knew took effort to climb!
I was asked,
At a time...
If I knew what I was doing?
I am not asked 'that' question anymore.
Today,
Some try to downplay...
My affect!
But I had always known,
To be grateful to be blessed.
And let God handle the rest!
I was asked,
At a time...
If I knew what I was doing?
Of course I knew.
From the very beginning.
But the few who did not know...
Now they do too!
And nothing has changed...
From where I live,
To what I do.
And that is a fact...
Hard for them to believe!
That I can say who I am.
Be who I am.
Stay where I am and know it!
AND achieve!

Grassroots And By-Products Of The Ghetto
Suited with blessings I have been,
To live amongst 'my' people.
People others consider to be grassroots,
And by-products of the ghetto.
There is nothing like knowing,
An environment from its core.
Or a place and how it operates,
By the reflection of how the people are treated.
And when divisions and disrespect is shown,
Immediately I see and connect as to how this can exist.
Who allows it to happen.
And those if they wished...could have long prevented it.
Suited with blessings I have been,
To live amongst 'my' people.

By the reflection of how the people are treated.
And when divisions and disrespect is shown,
Immediately I see and connect as to how this can exist.
Who allows it to happen.
And those if they wished...could have long prevented it.
I also see the reasons why...
So many have sacrificed the giving of time and their lives,
To eventually walk away from that which has been cemented...
In minds wanting things to remain just the way they are.
'I'm not asking you to do 'as' I do.
You will do as I say you do,
In my home and I hope that is understood.
No one here seeks your judgement to pass.
Or have asked for it.
And how you handle your business,
May not be a wish how I will handle mine.
I am comfortable here if you're not go home.
To be or not to be as you choose.
I am not confused as to who I am.'

Run To You
Baby, sometimes I feel like dying,
Driving while Im closing my eyes.
Moving in and out of hiding,
Trying to catch some truth in my life.
Watching your stars and your moonlight,
Come tumbling down from the sky.
Take it now.
Im gonna run to you, Im gonna come to you,
I wanna find you in everything that I do.
Im gonna run to you, Im gonna count on you,
Im gonna follow. baby, what else can I do?
Sunday morning, my town is sleeping.
Lying all alone in my bed,
Theres not a sound, I cant help but listening.
Wishing I was somewhere else instead.
But sometimes theyre too hard to handle,
These voices inside my head.
Listen now.
Im gonna run to you, Im gonna come to you,
I wanna find you in everything that I do.
Im gonna run to you, Im gonna count on you,
Im gonna follow. baby, what else can I do?
Take a walk inside my dream:
A church, a lonely road.
All the people come and go and come and go.
Im gonna run to you, Im gonna come to you.
Do it now!
Im gonna run to you, Im gonna count on you.
Im gonna run to you, Im gonna come to you,
I wanna find you in everything that I do.
Im gonna run to you, Im gonna count on you,
Im gonna follow. baby, what else can I do?

Jealousy
I cant complain about the way we tried,
So maybe its time to say goodbye,
Not gonna look around
Im just gonna look away.
Dont put the reasons back in my head,
You say you loved me now youve left me for dead,
Oh I just cant stand it this way.
Oh jealousy, coming over me,
Its that jealousy, breaking my heart.
Whoa jealousy, taking control of me,
Now ya just gotta know,
That I cant let it go,
And its time that ya knew,
I cant stop loving you.
You say Im a sentimental fool,
But all I tried to do is go with you,
Not gonna look around
Im just gonna look away.
Its been a battle since you broke my heart,
I tell you now that its been coming down hard,
Oh I just cant stand another day.

Feels So Good
It feels so good
I knew that it would
Nothing's gonna take this day away
Cos it feels so nice
Oh so right
Nothing's gonna take this day away
Was only yesterday
I tried to get away
And now this feeling makes you turn around
I was so very sure
What I was wishing for
And now my feet can hardly touch the ground
Cos the sun is shining
Holiday timing
I needed something to rescue me
Feeling ordinary
Now I'm ready
So come on with me
Cos
It feels so good
I knew that it would
Nothing's gonna take this day away
Cos it feels so nice
Oh so right
Nothing's gonna take this day away
I'm where I wanna be
Life in so bottle me
I took my cares
And left them all behind
I had to get away
Deal with them another day
They're outta sight and out of mind
Cos the sun's still shining
No denying
Something came along to rescue me
Feeling ordinary
Now I'm ready
So come on with me
It feels so good
I knew that it would
Nothing's gonna take this day away
Cos it feels so nice
Oh so right
Nothing's gonna take this day away
It's just what I needed
It's an emotional healing
It's a wonderful feeling
Nothing left to lose
Yeah
Cos it feels so good
I knew that it would
Nothing's gonna take this day away
Cos it feels so nice
Oh so right
Nothing's gonna take this day away
Cos it feels so good
I knew that it would
Nothing's gonna take this day away
Cos it feels so nice
Oh so right
Nothing's gonna take this day away
Cos it feels so good
I knew that it would
Nothing's gonna take this day away
Cos it feels so nice
Oh so right
Nothing's gonna take this day away

There's Not Too Many Reasons
There's not too many reasons,
I would...
Set aside my pride.
And there's...
Not too many reasons,
I would...
Not have a peaceful sleep at night.
No!
There's not too many reasons,
Why I...
Wouldn't eat or wish to feel that need.
Or...
Feel a hopelessness inside me,
Without you.
No!
There's not too many reasons,
Why I could not cope.
And...
There's not too many reasons,
Why I'd give up hope.
And...
There's not too many reasons,
Why I'd be on knees.
No...
There's not too many reasons,
Why I could not eat.
And...
There's not too many reasons,
Why I could not sleep.
Or believe there's a me to live and breathe,
Without you.

I Dont Like Mondays
The silicon chip inside her head,
Got switched to overload
Nobodys gonna go to school today,
Shes gonna make them stay at home,
And daddy doesnt understand it,
He always said she was good as gold,
And he can see (no reasons)
cause there are (no reasons)
What reason do you need to be shown
(tell me why) I dont like mondays
(tell me why) I dont like mondays
(tell me why) I dont like mondays
I want to shoot the whole day down
The telex machine is kept so clean
And it types to a waiting world,
Her mother feels so shocked
Fathers world is rocked
And their thoughts turn to
Their own little girl
Well sweet 16 aint she peachy keen,
And it aint so neat to admit defeat,
There could be (no reasons)
Because there are (no reasons)
What reasons do you need, oh,
(tell me why) I dont like mondays
(tell me why) I dont like mondays
(tell me why) I dont like mondays
Im gonna shoot the whole day down, down, down
Ill shoot it all down
And all the playings stopped in the playground now
She wants to play with her toys a while
And school is out, oh and soon we will learn that
The lesson today is how to die
And then the bullhorn crackles,
And the captain tackles
With the problems and the hows and whys
And he can see (no reasons)
cause there are (no reasons)
What reasons do you need to die, die, oh
And the silicon chip inside her head
Gets switched to overload, oh
And nobodys gonna go to school today
Shes gonna make them stay at home
And daddy doesnt understand it
He always said she was good as gold
And he could see (no reasons)
cause there are (no reasons)
What reason do you need to be shown
(tell me why) I dont like mondays
(tell me why) I dont like mondays
(tell me why) I dont like, I dont like
(tell me why) I dont like mondays
(tell me why) I dont like, I dont like
(tell me why) I dont like mondays
(tell me why) I dont like mondays
I want to shoot the whole day down

I knew that collaborating on songwriting would be difficult for a lot of people, because I was known very much, for my independence and the fact that I wrote these quirky songs that were not typical structure, not typical sound - you know, really original stuff.
Happening
Flames burn.
Water cycles.
Stars shine.
Wind blows.
Earth falls.
These are events.
Subtle reactions.
Chemical reactions.
Reaction, reaction, reaction.
This is a reaction.
You are a reaction.
Catalyst.
Action, interaction, reaction.
Reactant, reactor, event.
Occurring, never occurred.
No You, No I, No we.
Us, reacting together.
Distilling together,
Combining and purifying together,
Us.
Playing, acting, dancing, swimming,
loving, believing, longing, hating, sadding, madding, flying,
plying, vying, scrying, inviting, denying, trying, dying.
Being.

While Seeking Something More Impressive
They are the first to admit,
A seeking of creative ways to advance...
And exist in all areas,
That will justify their growth process.
But for whatever the reasons,
They have chosen to dismiss...
Those with the creative expertise,
To recommend with suggestions.
And instead look for scholars,
With book sense to limited mindsets...
To guide them in their quest,
To be the best that they can be!
And...
They still will never see,
The forest for the trees.
While seeking something more impressive.
