2.You're My Dare

Lyricist:Tim Robbins
Writer(s):Tim Robbins

When i close my eyes i see that white car
That grown up child tha zydeco bar
The danger in the touch of your skin
The dreams of your imagining

Honey take my lead, i'll follow you anywhere
You're my truth baby, you're my dare,
You're my dare

I see you in the light of the night
With the gift of consequence
Oh to lift the weight from your brow
Dream a dream of innocence

Honey take my lead...

A long day dawns at the edge of our world
To wake us to dreaming again
There's two teenage boys and an adult girl
To take us with them

Honey take my lead...

5.Toledo Girl

Lyricist:Tim Robbins
Writer(s):Tim Robbins

You ain't dancing in your skin
You can't kick the heroine
Driving 360's on a straight divide
The engines humming doing ninety-five

The wheels are smoking
Your head's in a whirl
Spinning on the road
With a Toledo girl

You ease the gas the spin slows down
Your steering wheel is upside down
Jump out the car your head's in a whirl
You rode to the edge with a Toledo girl

Imitating the feel of it
like molasses to a fly
Fascination with a dream of it
Like a reason to the why

You reach the ramp that gets you there
BAck where you started this affair
You turn the wheel drive the other way
On the road to nowhere been led astray
Got to get back or you'll reap what you sow
Mixed up and broken down in Toledo

Imitating the feel of it
like molasses to a fly
Fascination with a dream of it
Like a reason to the why

You ain't looking at an arrival time
This trip ain't about reason rhythm or rhyme
Your bags are packed, you're ready to go
But no one's getting off in Toledo


6.Queen Of Dreams

Lyricist:Tim Robbins
Writer(s):Tim Robbins

The queen of Irish girls with dreams
flew across the wooden floor
And fluttered her wings her big strong wings
and made us guess once more
She's not a cloud, not an angel, not a turtledove,
a superman, a flying dinosaur,
An eagle or a sparrow or a faerie sprite
not a zeppelin or a plane in flight

She's the queen of little girls that dream
and she'll take you by surprise
She'll make youu walk down corridors
with revolution in your eyes
She'll make you wonder if if if,
make you tremble at the touch of a fingertip
Make you sing the words to a thousend songs
'til the words fade away

Like a worm that flies/ Like a killer that cries
Like a heart that lies/ Like the look in your eyes,
in your eyes

The queen of little girls that dream
Makes you remember the girl
That ran down the boulevard
for all the money in the world
Your cells jumped you fell so high
you hung above the pavement like a butterfly
You fell so low down to the ground
suspended by this love you found

Like a worm that flies/ Like a killer that cries
Like a heart that lies/ Like the look in your eyes,
in your eyes

The queen of Irish girls tha dream
grows impatient with us now
We haven't guessed how she flutters by
we haven't dreamed of her somehow
So she makes you look in the others eyes
withwant of her the child butterfly
And thrills you to dream the impossible
and when you don't she says goodbye

For she rules all that do not dream
that see birds and jet engines
In places where their hearts should see
more improbable things

Like a worm that flies/ Like a killer that cries
Like a heart that lies/ Like the look in your eyes


7.Crush On You

Lyricist:Tim Robbins
Writer(s):Tim Robbins

I got a crush on you and i know it's wrong
I got a crush on you, waiting for you to belong
Want you to be uncomplicated
Waiting for you to be uncomplicated

I got a crush on you and oh the feeling ain't right
I got a crush on you, i'm hard into the night
Want you to be uncomplicated
Want your anger to be sedated

I wear my heels for you and i know it ain't right
But what i feel for you was love at first sight
Now i know i'm young but darling so are you
It was a slip of the tongue when i said love me do
Please don't hurt me with your fist
Please don't keep me from your kiss

I had an epiphany, the woman in my skin
That told me just to be and love the truth within
You put a thrill in me, made me fall away
Made me feel so free, want to dance another day
Please don't be uncomplicated
Nothing about love is complicated

Honey you made your choice
When you held it in your hand
Put your finger on the trigger
And you made me your man
The hole in my skull is serrated
Oh this got so complicated


8.Moment In The Sun

Lyricist:Tim Robbins
Writer(s):Tim Robbins

Little girl sitting here,
Far for tomorrow
The engine's off, the lake is still
The sun is warm and low
Your mouth is full and moving
WIth my love for you
I look in your eyes you look in mine
I hope you hold onto this moment in time

Carry it with you child i'll be there with you
I'll hold you in my arms
I'll carry the dreams of two
I'll hold you every night
I'll stroke your hair, i'll make it right
But there with you on any day you want me

I dream that on every troubled day
You crawl up in my arms til your tears fall away
They stole the time i had with you so my work was never done
Til we got back to and held onto that moment in the sun

Carry it with you child i'll be there with you
I'll hold you in my arms
I'll carry the dreams of two
I'll hold you every night
I'll stroke your hair, i'll make it right
But there with you on any day you want me

I'll hold your train, i'll weep with you
I'll get your jokes, try to tell some too
I'll make you strong, i'll make yo fly
I'll be light in your baby's eye

Carry it with you child i'll be there with you
I'll hold you in my arms
I'll carry the dreams of two
I'll hold you every night
I'll stroke your hair, i'll make it right
But there with you on any day you want me

Would you have run as fast if i had been around?
Would i have watched you fly or would i have held you down?
Would i be the one you love when all is said and done
If i could not get you back to that moment in the sun?


9.Lightning Calls

Lyricist:Tim Robbins
Writer(s):Tim Robbins

When the lightning calls the dawn
Calls a voice that says carry on
The darkness of the morning hours
illuminated by a distant power
When the lightning calls the dawn

When the lightning calls the dawn
Kept alone without a voice
Did silence bring you shame
Did you know in your prison cell
That the world had called your name
Time has its way with truth
And the pack of lies would deliver you

When the lightning called the dawn
Calls a voice that says carry on
The darkness of the morning hours
illuminated by a distant power
When the lightning called the dawn

Now Jesus said that we must forgive
Turn the cheek from the others sins
What they reaped you would not sow
Rivers of blood would not flow
Time has its way with truth
And the pack of lies would deliver you

When the lightning called the dawn
Calls a voice that says carry on
The darkness of the morning hours
illuminated by a distant power
When the lightning called the dawn
When the lightning called the dawn
When the lightning called the dawn
