A True Story ll
'-So one night she was coming home from a party, interrupted Giorgio,
but she had to go through a big forest or something.
Up ahead she saw a bonfire burning
There was the little man, dancing around the flames!
pretty weird, huh? '
'I've heard worse. And then...? '
'Dancing and singing his name, see? '
'So she learned his name? '
'Yep. And, boy, was he mad!
He had to do all her work without getting paid.
It was like getting married.'
'Do you remember his name? ' I asked,
hoping to test Giorgio's short-term memory.
'Of course.'
'What was it? '
'It was....Rumpleforeskin.'
'It was what? ' I said, makng a face. 'Are you sure? '
'Sure I'm sure. It was Rumpleforeskin.'
I sat up, loath to laugh.
'That's not what I remember, Giorgio.
You mean RumpleSTILZKIN-
his name was RumpleSTILZKIN.'
'Whatever, ' conceded Giorgio. 'Hey, no, it was Rumpleforeskin!
Why should I say Rumplestilzkin when his name was Rumpleforeskin?
Trust me on this one, doc.'
'What channel was this? '
'31'
I made a mental note.
'And what was his name, again? '

A True Story lll
Again, Giorgio repeated his version of the little man's name.
'And, that's why you were late? '
'Uh-huh. Sorry.'
Giorgio was more than apologetic. He was sincere. It was lovely.
'Rumpleforeskin, Rumpleforeskin, ' I chanted, sitting back-
it had a certain ring.
Anyway, there was no convincing Giorgio.
'So, Giorgio, how was your week? '
'Let me tell you about it.'
The session began.

A True Story l
At a quarter past the hour there came a knock at the door-
it was Giorgio, late as usual.
'Giorgio, you're late', I yelled from my chair.
I knew it was him. He had a very personal knock.
Besides, I was expecting him.
It was getting dark. That's not true-it was dark already.
Traffic on the Avenue was jammed. Horns were wailing.
Head lights, street lights, on, on.
What excuse would he give this time?
Giorgio was what we called a 'space cadet',
come from what you might well call 'generation text',
as any my age would readily agree.
Brooklyn-born and bred, his name despite,
Giorgio was ultra-likeable, if distractible,
but I was unprepared for what came next.
'Doc, there was this fascinating show on TV-
I mean FAS-cinating. I couldn't stop watching.'
'Oh', I said, without much interest,
irked to be undone by a re-run.
'It was called 'Grimm's Stories'. On channel 31
There's lots. Have you heard of them? '
'uh-huh, I replied, looking at my notes,
I think I've heard of the Grimm's things-
somewhere along the line.'
'Well, this one was about a little old guy with a long beard.
Him and this chick made a deal.
He'd do all her work for free
if she could guess his name.
And she did! '
'Sure, ' I said, sitting back,
'I remember that one.
It's called....
-So one night...

Here She Comes
(giorgio moroder/ pete bellotte)
Producer for bonnie: giorgio moroder
Recorded in 1984 for giorgio moroders re-make of fritz langs film metropolis. lyrics taken from careful listening.
She begins to steal the light
Confusion throws another mystery
Its out of focus with the eyes
So now you wonder is this just a dream?
Here she comes, here she comes
Shes gonna cause a sensation now
And just between you and me
I think shell soon have you temptation bound
Suppose? who know? shes not above suspicion
Is she? maybe? on some kind of secret mission
Better listen
Somewhere, somehow
Theres still some pieces missing
I sense, I feel, trust my intuition
Dont rush into your decision
Now heres a riddle in the rhyme
If shes the same how come shes different now?
The same old eyes, but not the shine
You know youre certain, but youre full of doubt
Now here she comes, here she comes
Shes gonna have you at her beck and call
So why refuse? yeah why contend?
When all resistance is impossible
Somewhere, somehow
Theres still some pieces missing
I sense, I feel, trust my intuition
Dont rush into your decision
Now here she comes, here she comes
Shes gonna have you at her beck and call
So why refuse? yeah why contend?
When all resistance is impossible
Here she comes, here she comes
This ladys serious, make no mistake
Face to face and eye to eye
Shell cast a spell that you may never break

Heaven Is Here
(giorgio moroder/ tom whitlock)
Producer for bonnie: giorgio moroder
I know there is an answer
To the question we ask in the night
I know you are a dancer
Here and gone like the wind out of sight
Carry me to our heart's fantasy
Heaven is here in your arms
Tell me we'll live together
In a place where cool breezes blow
I know nothing's forever
Yet there is still so much we should know
Carry me to our heart's fantasy
Heaven is here in your arms
I see the hope in your eyes
I feel the heat rising high
Tell me the night is all mine
We'll be the love in the light
The love that's alive
Carry me to our heart's fantasy
Heaven is here in your arms
Free me from this time lonely
'cause this life is too short to pass by
Be the one and only
Reaching for love in the light
Carry me to our heart's fantasy
Heaven is here in your arms
Heaven is here - here in your arms

Chirp As A Quail - On My Trail
If my good ol' Plymouth Barracuda ain't here,
probably I 'm driving and drinking beer
I am picking a song in that Juke Box
just because my gas deposit suffers loss.
I may be dancing in this cloudy dimension
but my mind already is absent in suspension
who took my Barracuda rims? My esteems
are kinda lost, so I resign from Los Alamos.
I am dancing my demure dance, or blindly
I see no gals. To accompany my lore tally
or even more, to dance, I 'll invite my horse
we 'll entangle in this, maybe an Albatross?
Anyway I dance like never, and I hop-jump
in this liquor bar. Till coming mornings sun up
I 'll be jingling my boots and shiny spurs
dancing on your wooden Mahogany stairs.
If you wish to entangle and kindly whir
a cantankerous Longhorn 's my herds steer
Come morning honey I shall be on the trail
if you wish to call me, chirp as a quail.

Till The End Of Time
(giorgio moroder/ tom whitlock)
Producer for bonnie: giorgio moroder
I remember times like this
Memories you can't dismiss of paradise
Looking for a way to start our love again
Every night and every day
We can find a better way to live all our lives
We can be as one again
Finally find a way to say that we know the truth
'til the end of time we love
Reaching for the higher ground
'til the end of time we live
Giving all we have to give
Children of another time
We lay it all upon the line
To say i love you
Every night and every day
We can find a better way to say
I love you
'til the end of time we love
Reaching for the higher ground
'til the end of time we live
Giving all we got to give
Giving all we got to give
Giving all we got to give
'til the end of time we love
Every night and every day
Reaching for the higher ground
Reaching for the higher ground
'til the end of time we live
Giving all we got to give

Love Is In Love Again
(giorgio moroder/ tom whitlock)
Producer for bonnie: giorgio moroder
Ooh run away lucky while you still know the way
If youre looking for your chance for one good payday
Do you really think youve got a ghost of a chance?
Its the coldest of towns to be lookin for romance
Ooh run away baby - youre too young to see
The way its goin down on the city streets
When trouble comes around there is no mystery
Youre running from it all so you better run now
Love is in pieces - put it back together now
Its supposed to be easy - but its so so mad
All the things we say
When the worlds gone crazy - its so hard to handle
Sooner or later itll all come clearer
When love is in love again
Ooh pictures in the paper of the faces youve seen
Walking down the halls where justice is done
What they say they say is not what they mean?
A different set of rules than are meant for you and me
Everybodys looking for an easier way
So go go go go
Everybody running from a shadow today
But they run so slow

Keep Your Love Alive
(giorgio moroder/ tom whitlock)
Producer for bonnie: giorgio moroder
When its getting good
Then you better be safe
cause a mind like yours is too good to waste
Keep your love alive - keep your love alive
A body like yours
It would be a crime
If you push it to the edge of the borderline
Keep your love alive - keep your love alive
Gotta be careful when youre taking a chance
You gotta take care - its a new romance
Keep your love alive - love alive
It really never was about a one night stand
Its a love for life so you better think twice
Keep your love alive - love alive
Love for life x3
Youll be alive tomorrow if youre safe today
What better way to show you care for me
Cant ignore the facts when theyre in your face
Its time you took responsibility
Keep your love alive - keep your love alive
cause you know the love we have is always gonna be
You know I want you and you want me
Keep your love alive - love alive
Love for life x3
Youll be alive tomorrow if youre safe today
What better way to show you care for me
When the love is right
You gotta say I want you here inside my life
Living for the light thats coming from within
I want to take good care of you - I love you

Dancing The Night Away
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
So you want to believe
Everything that you read
And you think that youre makin the grade
(and) just when youre getting it made
Youre still in love with her
Shed love you to kiss her
Hopin youll miss her
By takin your mind off the load
Just when youre ready to go
You turn your back on her
You just got your mind on the things ahead
At last youre gonna be free
Youll only miss her
Just after you kiss her
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
So you turn on the smiles
cause you think of the time
And nobody knows who you are
You dont think youll get very far
I dont even know your name
At last they accept you
In case you go next year
And ask you to reach for the sky
And just when youre ready to die
They turn their back on you
So they put you on ice
In survival hotel
And wish you would die from the cold
When all you want is a night alone
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
Dancing the night away
Dancing, and the song you sing
Dancing, every move you make
Dancing, makes my body go
Dancing, right across the floor
Dancing
Dancing
Dancing

Indian Thistles
She was a gust of the wind
fromward an old dancing hall
leaf in air of the auburn Fall
a walk within sage and mint.
So she fled, beloved shadow,
blest feelings cared to adore,
my route to home field yore,
the pain of a thrusted arrow.
There winds cared to bestow,
songs we both heard in dusk,
high were the shadows to ask
of our rejoice in the meadow.
A distant train again whistles,
two stars on remote constrain,
sad are and an immersed pain,
stays amid the Indian thistles.
