Widescreen
Lately Ive been sinking down
Thinking Im the only one
Drifting in and out of blue
But destinys a state of mind
And today Im doing fine
Rolling throught the afternoon with you
And its a widescreen world around me
And Im lying on the backseat of my mind
And its a widescreen, got you beside me
Were just riding on the backseat feeling fine
I will be your misfit queen
Ill take you where the grass is green
Past the littered sidewalk to the sun
I hear the traffic move outside
Yeah, but if I close my eyes
I can make it sound like waves rolling on
And its a widescreen world around me
And Im lying on the backseat of my mind
And its a widescreen, got you beside me
Were just riding on the backseat feeling fine
And if we lie still, can you feel the room?
Can you feel the city, can you feel it move?
Can you tell your body, your body from mine?
Can you la la la la lie
And if we lie still, can you feel the room?
Can you feel the city, can you feel it move?
Can you tell your body, your body from mine?
Im on the backseat of my mind
Im on the backseat of my mind
Im on the backseat of my mind
And its a widescreen world around me
And Im lying on the backseat of my mind
And its a widescreen, got you beside me
Were just riding on the backseat feeling fine
And its a widescreen all around me
And Im lying on the backseat of my mind
And its a widescreen, got you beside me
Were just riding on the backseat feeling fine
Im on the backseat of my mind
Im on the backseat of my mind
Im on the backseat of my mind...

Summer '79
Our last day of summer, 1979.
Gotta live it up one time before it's over.
We will make history tonight.
Out at the drive-in
all of our closest friends will be sneaking in.
You'll be spending your whole night
trying everything you can to get that girl to notice you.
"We are the Champions" playing loud on the radio station.
Everyone sing with these anthems of our generation.
Cruising down Pacific Coast Highway,
put the top down, crawl into the backseat.
Let's create anthems of our own tonight.
Down at the roller rink
all the cool kids crowding around the air-hockey table.
"Hey, my best friend likes you!"
I hear you shout at me as you go skating by.
"We are the Champions" playing loud on the radio station.
Everyone sing with these anthems of our generation.
Cruising down Pacific Coast Highway,
put the top down, crawl into the backseat.
Let's create anthems of our own tonight.
Sneak out of your window darling.
Let's live like outlaws honey.
We'll never look back.
Climb out on this rooftop.
And stare at the city lights below us.
This world belongs to us tonight.
The kids will keep raging on and they ain't ever gonna stop.
"We are the Champions" playing loud on the radio station.
Everyone sing with these anthems of our generation.
Cruising down Pacific Coast Highway,
put the top down, crawl into the backseat.
Let's create anthems of our own tonight.
"We are the Champions" playing loud on the radio station.

Cruising down Pacific Coast Highway,

One
Affirmative may be justified
Take from one give to another
The goal is to be unified
Take my hand be my brother
The payment silenced the masses
Sanctified by oppression
Unity took a backseat
Sliding further in regression
One The only way is one
I feel angry I feel helpless
Want to change the world
I feel violent I feel alone
Don't try and change my mind
Society blind by color
Why hold down one to raise another
Discrimination now on both sides
Seeds of hate blossom further
The world is heading for mutiny
When all we want is unity
We may rise and fall

Girls Got Rhytm
Ive been around the world
Ive seen a million girls
Aint one of them got
What my lady shes got
She steals the spotlight
Knocks me off my feet
Shes enough to start a landslide
Just walking down the street
Wearing dresses so tight
And looking dynamite
Enough to blow me out
No doubt about it cant live without it
Chorus:
The girls got the rhythm
The girls got the rhythm
Shes got the backseat rhythm
The girls got the rhythm
Shes like a lethal brand
Too much for any man
She gives me first degree
She really satisfies me
Love me till Im legless
Aching and sore
Enough to stop a freight train
Or start the third world war
You know Im losin sleep
Im in too deep
And my body needs love
No doubt about it cant live without it
Chorus
You know she moves like sin
And when she lets me in
Its like liquid love
No doubt about it cant live without it
Chorus
You know she really got the rhythm
Shes got the backseat rhythm
Rock n roll rhythm

Backseat Drivers (Fun Poem 87)
Have you ever had those days
when you have had a backseat driver
giving directions to you?
Think yourself lucky that it was one,
and then think of me with two!
One wants you to go in one direction
and the other wants you to go in another.
Confused?
You can get that way
and it’s so easy when you know the way,
but they don’t think you do.
The question that comes to mind,
just what do you do?
Easy, carry on regardless
and ignore the both of them.
In fact, that is exactly what I had to do.

You've Been Driving All The Time
(pat bunch/harry stinson)
Well, i was born full speed ahead
I was racin' time my mama said
I really covered some ground 'til you slowed me down
And took my life where angels fear to tread
Everywhere i go your hands are on the wheel
When everybody thinks they're mine
It takes a real man to take a backseat to a woman
But honey you've been drivin' all the time
Your love's so unconditional
You never push and you never pull
And your love is so blind
You walk a step behind
You start me every day and let me roll
Everywhere i go your hands are on the wheel
When everybody thinks they're mine
It takes a real man to take a backseat to a woman
But honey you've been drivin' all the time
And with each new day that passes by
And every dream i dare to try
You lift me gently up
So tenderly with love
And give me even stronger wings to fly

When I Opened My Eyes
I opened my eyes,
And determined I would only see Sun.
No matter who had said what to me.
Or the happenings in those yesterdays done.
I've begun to enjoy my walks through the rain.
Most times with pain I have learned not to prioritize.
When I opened my eyes my mind seemed to clear.
I looked into the mirror and saw what appeared.
And excuses for blemishes and flaws I magnitized...
Disappeared to allow me a living of my life as 'I' liked.
And asking someone how to do that...
Took an immediate backseat in my mind.
When I opened my eyes...
They were 'my' eyes to open.

Boom Boom Boom (Breathin)
Ready for action nip it in the butt
Never relaxin, Outkast is everlastin
Not clashing not at all
But see my nigga went and did a lil' actin
Thats for anyone askin give me one pass'em

Now u comin out the side of ur face
We tappin right into ur memory bank (Thanxs)
So click it or ticket lets see ur seatbelt fastin
Trunk rattllin like 2 midgets in the backseat wrasslin

But I was lookin at them
There, there on the dance floor
Now they got me in the middle
Feelin like a man whore
Speacialy the big girl
Big girls need love too
No discrimation dis world
So keep ur hands off my cheeks
Let me study how u ride the beat(Ya big freak)
Skinny slim women get the chemical within them
You can hump them, lift them , bend em, give them something to remember
Heldout timber when u fall through to chopshop
Take a deep breath exhale
Your exhale friend boyfriend was borin as hell
But let me listen to the story u tell and
We can make moves like a person in jail(on the low)
Chorus
Hey baby, girl dont u stop it
Comin on lady dance all on me
Look so fine(look so fine)look so fine
Driven me outta my mind(outta my mind) outta my mind(oh baby)

Should I Lift My Eyes
Ride with guilt?
Sit harnessed to remorse?
Take a backseat to happiness,
And choose a more abusing course?
Gamble a peace of mind...
To share grief,
It took years to leave?
Me?
Should I settle for disappointments,
From others who feel...
My 'gifts' they annointed?
And I am not in praise,
To elevated their dazed crazed ways?
OR...
Should I lift my eyes with gratitude?
And thank God my life...
Hasn't been spent infighting with them,
In a dare not to split...
Someone's flapping lips.
Or have found myself by now a stowaway,
Aboard a cruising ship that drifts!

Choice
Will you come
And hug me tight
If I tell you:
I miss you like hell!
OR
Will you withhold
And restrain yourself?
Let love take a backseat
To make your pride & ego

Sun's Up
The water, is calling out your name,
No your not insane,
It's whispering your name.
And the wind, pulling you closer in,
Feel it under your skin,
Feel it movin' within.
World ain't falling down again,
Well it ain't what it seems,
Well it ain't what it is;
You ain't provoked by your sin,
'Cause you can't tell a lie,
'Cause you lie within.
The sun's up,
And the surfs fine;
But there's something weighting on your mind;
The sun's up,
And the surfs fine;
But there's something weighting on your mind.
Powerful as it seems,
Forever for all the dreams...;
All that you wanna believe;
All the games,
Running through the fields,
Hoping it stays for real,
Trying to make a special deal.
Ohhh...
The world ain't falling down again,
Well it ain't what it seems,
Well it ain't what it is;
You ain't provoked by your sin,
'Cause you can't tell a lie,
Oh you lie within.
The sun's up,
The surfs fine;
But there's something weighting on your mind;
The sun's up,
The surfs fine;
But there's something weighting on your mind.
It's a powerful thing,
If you use it well....
And when it's here and it's seen,
It's something else......
Yeah...
Yeah...
Ohh..
Yeah...
The sun's up,
And the surfs fine;
But there's something weighting on your mind;
The sun's up,
The surfs fine;
But there's something weighting on your mind.
The sun's up,
The surfs fine;
The sun's up,
The surfs fine;

Driving while intoxicated (by Fall)
Driving while intoxicated
Drunk with the smells and sights
Of yellow Oak trees and red maple leaves
And golden harvest moon nights
Weaving my way through mind boggling colors
Each turn full of new delights
The reds and the purples of the maple surples
Bring inebriatation to new heights
This excess of pastels seen through my windshield
Makes me feel high as a kite
And in my rear-view mirror, more colors revealed
the frigging fall’s flashin’… of red and blue light
Scrawlin’ my name on a pink ticket pad
Crawlin’ into the backseat of a black and white
Busted from being intossicatated
And drivin’Under the infuluence… of Fall’s delight

Sudden Death In Carolina
Last night I swallowed liquor and a lighter
and this morning I threw up fire
But it's nothing new
I've been piecing it together and it's got something to do
with every look thrown like a knife across a crowded room
And every slow and quiet car ride I spent drinking in the backseat
Every stupid melody to every stupid song

Running In The Family
Our dad
Would send us to our room
Hed be the voice of doom
He said that we would thank him later
All day
He was solid as a rock
But by eight oclock
Wed be crumbling
One night
My brother joe and me
Climbed down the family tree
That grew outside our bedroom window
We ran
Though we knew it couldnt last
Running from the past
From things that we were born to be
Looking back its so bizarre
It runs in the family
All the things we are
On the back seat of the car
With joseph and emily
We only see so far
- and we all have our daddys eyes
Looking back its so bizarre
Dad rang
The officer in charge
A man so large
He barely fit his circumstances
He said
Two kids out on the street
Were picked up on the beat
And in the station
So theres me
With emily and joe
Daddy driving home
All heading in the same direction
He knew
No matter what the breaks
Wed make the same mistakes
Couldnt take his eyes of joe and me
Looking back its so bizarre
It runs in the family
All the things we are
On the backseat of the car
With joseph and emily
We only see so far
- and we all have our daddys eyes
Looking back its so bizarre
It runs in the family
All the things we are
Looking back its so bizarre
Like a dream within a dream
Were all somewhere in between
Like a drummer plays his drum
Like a father like a son
- and your gonna have to face the music
- face the music
Hey hey
We keep it running in the family
Hey hey
We keep it coming in the family
Looking back its so bizarre
It runs in the family
All the things we are
On the backseat of the car
With joseph and emily
We only see so far
- cause we all have our daddys eyes
Take me back into your arms
Its no longer a mystery
No cause for alarm
Could have never come this far
With no sense of history
It always leaves a scar
- and we all have our daddys eyes
Looking back its so bizarre
Running in the family
Hey, hey!

No More Tears (feat. Na Na)
No more tears
on my own again
I never say goodbye
Here I am
I feel like a hurricane
but upside down
I move like in M.A.D.
to every sound
trembling before you
cause I'm going down ...
My last stand
is all that I'm hearing
will I ever find
an answer to what I have
on my mind
thousand yard stare
cause I'm going down ...
No more tears
on my own again
I never say goodbye
I will be just fine
You're still on my mind
Will you ever tell me why
Aiming high
I turn from the light
and I am on my way
falling into the darkness
I can't stay
There's no escape
and I am going down
Final try
I'm back from the other side
and right on time
to once and for all claim
back what's mine
the future is bright
and I won't go down
No more tears
on my own again
I never say goodbye
I will be just fine
You're still on my mind
Will you ever tell me why
No more tears
on my own again
I never say goodbye
still on my mind
Will you ever tell me why
No more tears
on my own again
I never say goodbye
I will be just fine
You're still on my mind
Will you ever tell me why
