WALK ON WATER
Music & Lyrics by Rick Beneteau

You know you gave me this hunger
And you see it devours me
Why does it seem you are nourished by my thirsting
It's always too far to reach you
Always seems to be my move
And I don't know what I've got left to prove

Do I crawl across the desert sands
Scar my knees baby scorch my hands
Now tell me baby do I have to walk on water
Do I have to steal the stars and moons
Just how far do you think mountains move
Now tell me baby do I have to walk on water

I hear your voice in the distance
But I can't hear if it's callin' me
A silhouette in the shadow's all that I see
No escape from this island
Nowhere that I can turn
You lit the fuse now you watch my bridges burn

Water water tell me baby
Do I crawl across the desert sands
Scar my knees baby scorch my hands
Now tell me baby do I have to walk on water
Do I have to steal the stars and moons
Just how far do you think mountains move

Now tell me baby do I have to walk on water

Tell me baby do I have to walk on water

LOVER LIKE YOU
Music & Lyrics by Rick Beneteau

Darkness concealin' the tears on your face
Things you're feelin' are just so out of place
You cried "forever" and baby I screamed "never"
We fell together but it's time for movin' on, baby

What's a lover like you see in a woman like me
What's a lover like you need in a woman like me
What could I give to you
You know I can't live for you
What's a lover like you want with a woman like me
A woman like me

The sun is risin' the hurt's still in your eyes
No compromisin' the sound of this goodbye
Don't wanna leave you bleedin' but my religion is my freedom
So baby stop believin' this heart is what you need

Forgive me but don't regret me oh no
Oh baby, baby, baby please just let me go

What's a lover like you want with a woman like me
What's a lover like you want with a woman like me
What's a lover like you want with a woman like me
What's a lover like you want with a woman like me
A woman like me
Baby let me go

MISTER
Music & Lyrics by Rick Beneteau

Mister I'll never understand
What ruled your mind what moved your hands
Mister I can't comprehend
She was just a child unable to defend

Mister she still dreams at night
Of all those times she shook with fright
Your face, your smell, your sounds
Your little secret's no secret now

I wonder how her life would be
If she didn't have your memory
And I wonder how your life would have been
If you hadn't stole her innocence

And mister it is you she blames
For all the guilt and all the shame
Mister how she wish you'd lived
Just so she could say I won't forgive

I wonder how her life would be
If she didn't have your memory
And I wonder how your life would have been
If you hadn't stole her innocence
If you hadn't stole her innocence

TAKE ME TO THE MOUNTAINS
Music & Lyrics by Rick Beneteau

Ice cold neon shadows cool the steam from sidewalks below
Echoed sirens screaming, angry traffic, the language I know
If I'm a piece of the puzzle then the Lord knows this ain't where I fit
Glued to a powderkeg and the fuse just waits to be lit
Here I sit

Take me to the mountains
To a place near my home
Take me to the mountains
Before I turn to stone

Dark fear in their faces, frantic paces, endlessly dazed
Stark insurrection, misdirection leading the way
I feel myself changing into just that mannican mold
My conscience is melting and my heart is turning so cold
So very cold

Take me to the mountains
To a place near my home
Take me to the mountains
Before I turn to stone
Oh before I turn to stone

Take me to the mountains
To my home
Take me to the mountains
To my home

Take me to the mountains
To my home
Take me to the mountains
To my home
To my home to my home

BORN JUST TO DIE IN YOUR ARMS
Music by Ignasius Lyrics by Rick Beneteau

Imagining just where I’d be
Without the warmth you’ve given me
I’d rather face a sunless sky
Watch the oceans all run dry

I was born just to die in your arms

You’ll live until the end of time
Deep inside this heart of mine
But if this world should end today
With my last breath I would say

I was born just to die in your arms

I surrender my soul
Swear on my heart
No calamity could lead me away
From the healing of your heart
Like a vessel that lies upon the shore
I was born
I was born just to die in your arms

repeat chorus

I’ll die in your arms

RISE-UP!
Music by Ignasius Lyrics by Rick Beneteau

Mr. Politician they’re gonna take my home
You said that wouldn’t happen if I gave you my vote
Hey Mister Taxman I can’t meet your demands
Cause all your regulations work against a poor man

Mr. Policeman you wanna read me my rights
I put my hands above my head and you cuff them to spite
Hey Mr. Fashion you don’t like my clothes
But I ain’t got the money to fit into those

Rise-Up! - defend all your freedoms
Rise-Up! - for all you believe in
Rise-Up! - if we fight we can beat ‘em
Rise-Up! fearlessly

Hey Mr. Lover you wanna steal my wife
Even though she’s married for the rest of her life
All I ever wanted was a family
Full of everlasting love and harmony

Rise-Up! - defend all your freedoms
Rise-Up! - for all you believe in
Rise-Up! - if we fight we can beat ‘em
Rise-Up! fearlessly

Hypocrisy it’s all through the system
Democracy don’t be it’s victim
Eventually you and me we’ll take the lead
And win this victory

Rise-Up! - defend all your freedoms
Rise-Up! - for all you believe in
Rise-Up! - if we fight we can beat ‘em
Rise-Up! fearlessly

Mr. Politician don’t you count on my vote - no
Mr. Policeman don’t you dare block my road
Stay outa my way cause I’m goin’ home

JUST LIKE YOU
Music & Lyrics by Rick Beneteau

We never thought it would end this way
Two lonely souls cryin' out in so much pain
I never thought I could tell such lies
While the only truth was waitin' in our goodbyes
But now I know two lovers who are the wiser
Who won't let their wounds grow any wider

And just like you I need time to heal
And just like you I need time to feel again
Just time to mend
And just like you I need time alone
To warm a heart turned cold as stone
And just as blue
And just like you I need time

I know these days they will pass so slow
As this ache in my heart works it's way down to my soul
All my nights will go on endlessly
As I wallow in all those dream of you helplessly
Though time right now seems like my enemy
Time will build a bridge back to you and me

And just like you I need time to heal
And just like you I need time to feel again
Just time to mend
And just like you I need time alone
To warm a heart turned cold as stone
And just as blue

And just like you I need time

I JUST WANNA SHOUT ABOUT IT
Music by Larry Thompson Lyrics by Rick Beneteau

Had a chance to sit and think this whole thing over
Suddenly I found I'd fallen all the way
A casual glance, a tender smile, a needed shoulder
And then a little romance was sure to make the feeling stay
Candlelight, a moonlit night,
The mood was so right
A little chat about this 'n that,
I told you about my past
The broken hearts, the 'brand-new starts'
The 'gone-too-fars', 'who-do-you-think-you-are's'
I need a love to last

I just wanna shout about it
Just got to tell everybody
Never had a doubt about it
About this new love I found
I just wanna shout about it
Can't keep it hidden in my heart, no
I could never live without it
Can't last without you around

When I look into your eyes I see my whole world changin'
Now all my dreams are filled with lovin' you
Whenever we touch I feel my heart is out of danger
Wherever we go I know this love is true
Anytime, rain or shine
I know you're mine, you give me all the signs
You always bring me rings and things
A touch, a whisper barely heard
Promises, a midnight kiss
I feel your lips, I just can't resist
I'm gonna tell the world

"You know that you're a real live fantasy
There's never ever been another means so much to me
I only wish that there were words that I could find a better way
To tell you what I feel inside to tell you what I have to say
My heart is poundin' my head is always spinnin'
I don't think I can stand it I might just go crazy
The long walks the small talk the things you do to let me know
I never have to worry 'bout this love - so..."
I'm gonna tell the world...

JUST PRETEND
Music & Lyrics by Rick Beneteau

I've seen that look before
Old lessons learned
My heart can read your mind
One page to turn
Spare me

If the truth is gonna hurt me can you lie
If you can't hold me at least try
If you can't begin to tell me don't say it's the end
If you can't love me just pretend

Like treasured photographs
Why does love fade?
Don't make the word goodbye
The last you'll say
Save me

If the truth is gonna hurt me can you lie
If you can't hold me at least try
If you can't begin to tell me don't say it's the end
If you can't love me just pretend

Deceive me just one time
Hold me

If the truth is gonna hurt me can you lie
If you can't hold me at least try
If you can't begin to tell me don't say it's the end
If you can't love me just pretend
If you can't love me just pretend

WAY TOO COOL!
Music by Larry Thompson Lyrics by Rick Beneteau

Been so long that I've tried to fight this feelin'
Been so strong wore my heart of steel
Been so wrong just denying what is real
Can't you see that I'm falling for you
Can't you feel my emotions breakin' through
Here I come baby ready or not
Can't you tell my intentions are gettin' kinda hot

Way too cool you know you've given me this fever
Way too cool just watch my temperature rise
Way too cool just tell me how could I leave ya' now
It's feelin' way too cool tonight
Way too cool you know you're meltin' my defenses
Way too cool that fire in your eyes
Way too cool you're burnin' all of my bridges down
It's feelin' way too cool tonight

Feels so right every moment I'm around you
Feel so light every time we touch
Feel we might have a once in a lifetime love
Don' t know how for so long I resisted
Not break down whenever I kissed ya'
My change of heart is now a change of luck
Cuz I know that this feeling is really heatin' up

Where we go right from here well nobody knows
Make it easy let's take it real slow stay together forever make this love glow

Way too cool you know you've given me the feverWay too cool you know you've given me this fever
Way too cool just watch my temperature rise
Way too cool just tell me how could I leave ya' now
It's feelin' way too cool tonight
Way too cool you know you're meltin' my defenses
Way too cool that fire in your eyes
Way too cool you're burnin' all of my bridges down
It's feelin' way too cool tonight

DANGEROUS
Music & Lyrics by Rick Beneteau

Here I am next to you again
There I go all unglued again
Feel my heart really start to pound again
I feel my feet nearly off the ground again
Huh!

(Lovin' you) this lovin' you
(Lovin' you) all this lovin' you
(Lovin' you) lovin' you is so dangerous to do
(Lovin' you) this lovin' you
(Lovin' you) this crazy lovin' you
(Lovin' you) lovin' you is so dangerous to do

There you are starin' right at me again
Here I go fallin' piece by piece again
Could I turn, turn around and walk away
Or should I run straight into your arms to stay
Huh!

No bridge from logic to my emotions
No ship to rescue me from this ocean
What can I do, what can I do?
