The Tiki Bar Is Open
(John Hiatt)
[Chorus:]
Thank God the tiki bar is open
Thank God the tiki torch still shines
Thank God the tiki bar is open
Come on in and open up your mind
On a leave of absence
With no resemblance to reality
I felt like a rocket launched into the wild blue yonder
By the boys down at Kennedy.
Checked into His Majesty's Court Hotel
Where the sign said "praise his name"
I was tired and alone I didn't feel too well
But I don't think that he was to blame.
[Chorus]
Full moon over (Concert CityState)
Full moon in my mind
And my sun tan dream is still out of reach
And the strip malls are robbing me blind
Well his name was Captain Adam Troy
And he sailed the "Kon-Tiki"
Now the captain's gone but he won't be forgotten
Nor his likes will we ever see
[Chorus]
Well a drink ain't no solution
But it can calm your fears
And if that tiki bar closes down tonight
Well I just might dissappear
[Chorus 2x]

Guitars And Tiki Bars
We all get sick of it all now and then
When I've had it up to here
I go down there
To guitars, tiki bars and a whole lotta love
Mangoes and Marley, you know, fit me like a glove
Sixth gear with nowhere to steer
When enough is enough
It's guitars, tiki bars and a whole lotta love
I feel like a fish jerked out of the sea
Or a bird in a cage that's never seen a key
Sick of this grind and I think that I ought
To bring this grind to a grinding halt
Now I've had it up to here
Let's go down there
To guitars, tiki bars and a whole lotta love
Mangoes and Marley, you know, fit me like a glove
Sixth gear with nowhere to steer
When enough is enough
It's guitars, tiki bars and a whole lotta love
Now I've had it up to here
Let's go down there
To guitars, tiki bars and a whole lotta love
Mangoes and Marley, you know, fit me like a glove
Sixth gear with nowhere to steer
When enough is enough

Let Her Go Down
Sometime in October
we sailed from England's shore
When we sailed into a raging storm
like I never ever seen before
And all of the crew they were brave men
but the captain he was braver
and he said
"Never mind the ship me boys
There's none of us here can save her"
Let her go down Swim for your lives
Swim for your children swim for your wives
Let her go down Let her go down
Lost in the open ocean
there was some of the crew and me
while the captain steered our wounded ship
to the bottom of an angry sea
And with his dying breath
we all heard him say
"It's just the fortune of sailor"
and he said
"Never mind the ship me boys
There's none of us here can save her"
chorus
He wondered if his shipmates
were ready to just pray and give in
so he called their names out one by one
but there was no one else around but him
He saw the ship go down the fading light
and he knew that they could have saved her
He said
"The captain lied when the captain cried
'There's none of us here can save her' "
chorus
Swim for your lives
Swim for your children swim for your wives
Let her go down Let her go down
Swim for your lives

Cracks In The Pavement
(words and music: duran duran)
I shed my skin
When the party was about to begin
I'm light years away but
I'm walking back, tonight,
Of all nights
When i should be feeling just right
Don't want to be in public,
My head is full of chopstick i don't like it.
Something on my mind..
Breaking open doors i sealed up before,
Something on my mind..
Makes me run when i thought i'd run too far.
Somebody shaking my tree
Maybe that somebody is me
I'm standing in the light but i'm making a break for
The shadows on the cinema wall.
They should be mine but i'm not that tall
Now i'm saying this in private
If i had a car,
I'd drive it insane

I'm looking for cracks in the pavement...

All of which I deny.

And a firedance through the night

Breaking away with the beast of both worlds
A smile that you cant disguise
Every minute I keep finding
Clues that you leave behind.
Save me from these reminders
As if Id forget tonight

Lets Talk Dirty In Hawaiian
I packed my bags and bought myself a ticket
For the land of the tall palm tree
Aloha old milwaukee, hello waikiki
I just stepped down from the airplane
When I thought I heard her say
Waka waka nuka nuka, waka waka nuka nuka
Would you like a lei? eh?
Lets talk dirty in hawaiian
Whisper in my ear
Kicka pooka maka wah wahini
Are the words I long to hear
Lay your coca nuta on ma tiki
What the hecka mooka mooka dear
Lets talk dirty in hawaiian
Say the words I long to hear
Its a ukelele honolulu sunset
Listen to the grass skirts sway
Drinking rum from a pineapple
Out on honolulu bay
The steel guitars all playing
While shes talking with her hands
Gimme gimme oka doka make a wish and wanta polka
Words I understand
Lets talk dirty in hawaiian
Whisper in my ear
Kicka poo ka maka wa wah wahini
Are the words I long to hear
Lay your coca nuta on ma tiki
What the hecka mooka mooka dear
Lets talk dirty in hawaiian
Say the words I long to hear
I boughta lota junka with my moola
And sent it to the folks back home
I never had the chance to dance the hula
I guess I should have known
When you start talking to the sweet wahini
Walking in the pale moonlight
Oka doka what a setta knocka rocka sis boom bocas
Hope I said it right
Lets talk dirty in hawaiian
Whisper in my ear
Kicka pooka maka wah wahini
Are the words I long to hear
Lay your coca nuta on ma tiki
What the hecka mooka mooka dear
Lets talk dirty in hawaiian

If you need a prison break

If you need to chase the blues

Well double back and leave no clues

Where we can be free
Into the wild blue yonder

If you need to fight for love

If life is treating you unfair

Natives Are Restless Tonight
(Don Tiki)
Let me tell you 'bout my neighborhood
If you're visiting tonight
You better stay out of the shadows
Stay in the bright, bright light
Don't take fright, the natives are restless tonight
They're not particularly interested in me or you
They're just looking for some meat
They can put in their stew
Don't take fright, the natives are restless tonight
And they say...
Hoom baba hoom baba hoom baba hey hey hoom baba hoom baba hoom baba hey hey
Hoom baba hoom baba hoom baba hey hey hoom baba hoom baba hoom baba hey hey
It's best to stay upstairs
With the Good Book alone
'Cause when the drums start burnin'
You better leave your sermons at home
Don't take fright, the natives are restless tonight
And they say...
Hoom baba hoom baba hoom baba hey hey hoom baba hoom baba hoom baba hey hey
Hoom baba hoom baba hoom baba hey hey hoom baba hoom baba hoom baba hey hey
You might consider yourself lucky
Just to be alive
'Cause it's a full moon tonight
And it's right for a conquering tribe.
Don't take fright, the natives are restless tonight
And they say...
Hoom baba hoom baba hoom baba hey hey hoom baba hoom baba hoom baba hey hey
Hoom baba hoom baba hoom baba hey hey hoom baba hoom baba hoom baba hey hey
Hoom baba hoom baba hoom baba hey hey hoom baba hoom baba hoom baba hey hey

Make It Right
(r. lawrence/c. bernard/s. benson)
(make it right)
(make it right)
Youve been on my mind
cause the last words I said
Felt so wrong ,so unkind
No ones to blame
But somewhere along the way
I know that somethings changed
What was said
And what was done
Is not the way of love
Just look what weve become
Chorus:
Feel me touch you tenderly
Im makin an apology
Please hold me close tonight
(make it right)
Can we try to love once more
And make it like it was before
I need you by my side
(make it right)
(make it right)
As we close our eyes
Can you hear me prayin
How can lovers be so blind
It hurts me so, just dont know
That we could fall again
Help me understand
Can we forgive
Can we compromise
Just believe that we can
Leave it all behind
We can get to where
We feel good inside
Open up our hearts
And keep this love alive
Chorus
(make it right)
(make it right)
Ooh make it right for me, babe
(make it right)
(are we gonna) make it right
(we can see it) see it in our eyes
(can we do it) do you wanna try
(dont you know I)
Ill always love you, baby
(give a listen)
Listen to the words Im sayin
(tell you that its)
Its only love were makin
(all you gotta) ooh
Chorus
(make it right)
Im touchin you so tenderly
(please hold me close tonight)
Never let me go (make it right)
Can we try to love once more
And make it like it was before

Rock & Roll Dream
{chorus}
Rock and roll dream
Not what it seems
Who is the dreamer now?
When I see the faces from the limousine
No chance of our survival
Armed forces, guardians of the law
Awaiting our arrival
They all are young
We all were young
And Ive seen this place before
Open up the door
Let us in
All the things Ive seen
Words I said, I didnt mean
Feelings, I took for granted
But now reality
One thing we could never see
Everything, we always wanted
They all are young
We all were young
And Ive seen this place before
Open up the door
Let us in
{chorus}
If I had the choice
Words came through my voice
I should have left unspoken
Now its obvious
Clear to all of us
The dream that now is broken
Take the stage tonight
Go face the lights
With this image you should keep
Youre crying in your sleep
Tonight

Signs
You're weighed down with regret
You can't see the road ahead
Or the burden on your back
It seems the trek will never end
The winding paths that still descend
And up above a sky washed black
You just can't bear to look at that
Chorus:
Follow the signs
Open your eyes
Read between the lines of what you see
Look into the soul of reality
Open your mind
Look at the signs
Never look back at yesterday
Keep your gaze steady on the narrow way
Now you've found the sacred tree
You kneel upon the broken wheat
You watch your burden fall away
And all the things you once sought
Now are counted less than lost
For now you see the light of day
The signs were pointing all the way
Repeat chorus
Follow the signs
Follow the signs
Open your eyes
Look at the signs
Open your mind
Follow the signs
Repeat chorus

Windows
Windows, to the world are what we're looking through
Who knows, if what we find is true
Seeing, is believing as some people say
Knowing, is to get a better view
(Chorus)
For the windows of the world
Are never open all the way
And the voices of the past
Are not forgotten
Till you leave it all behind you
You will never see the day
'Cause your life is on the line
Tasting, of the wine of some forbidden fruit
Reaping, the sorrows that we sowReaching, to the stars will never bring us home
Teaching, what we really could not know
(Chorus)
Touching, we are moving to the things we feel
Trying, to be what we could never be
Turning, if we'd only open up our hearts
Yearning, for the things we cannot see

Tell me you dont feel it
Oh cant you recall

Whenever Youre Gone
(l. stansfield/i. devaney/a. morris)
I cant go any further now, only if you come with me
Only if you can take my hand and hold me in your arms
If you come and look into my eyes, iii see it all more clearly
All of the tears youve seen my cry
Youll take them all away
If you come and open up my eyes and hold me
Take me away and ease my mind
Just come and hold me tight
Chorus:
Whenever youre gone its lonely
Whenever youre gone I cant face the light of day
Its too many times Ive been on my own
With a burning in my heart
Whenever youre gone
Look at the face you see before you, cant you be open to me
Cant you believe what we have, dont throw it away
Believe in me now dont criticize, its only the beginning
Cant you believe these desperate eyes, believe in what we say
If you came and open up me eyes and hold me
Then I can open up my mind, and I will hold you tight

When youre gone I feel so alone
And I cant sleep for crying, and deep inside I feel like dying
