                                                 “Simpatico” 

With the world coming apart…we need a break from the crazy way we are.

Well, there's a word we should know…and the word is…simpatico.

I'm coming over flyin' to your land

You come and greet me and reach out your hand.

I love drinking your country's rum,

Please pour some more in my cola cup.

My sister and your brother, I see…they fell in love, say it's meant to be.

They met in one of those hostel places,

With backpacks and sweet your faces, and they were…

So simpatico…so simpatico…so simpatico.

So I left my old hometown…see the world, while I roamed around.

Greek music from an ancient bar…on that night with a thousand stars.

The kind of life we all should know…where we're all simpatico.

Like that time in Majorca once…on an island far from us,

I saw Rafa at the airport…on a big bright billboard.

The way he runs and spins the ball, I feel such simpatico.

So simpatico…so simpatico…so simpatico.

Let's bring to life…simpatico

Let's find a way…so that we all feel this way…simpatico…all feel this way.

From Rio and Carnival…to New Orleans and Mardi Gras

Like Budapest Ruin Pubs…bringing out the best in us.

Like Amsterdam's open stance…I saw a happy man get a hall-way pass

Taking life there as it goes…let's raise a glass to my new amigos.

We're feelin'…so simpatico…so simpatico.

                        ’Til the End 

When I feel your love.. comin’ at me, 

It’s the sweetest…thing I’ve ever known. 

When I feel your love… surround me, 

It’s the sweetest… wave I’ll ever ride. 

Of all the love songs, 

This one’s just about us, 

’Til the end… ’til the end… 

Bound, yes, we are…no end. 

Far and beyond…no end. 

There ’til the end…’til the end. 

When I feel your love…flowin’ through me, 

It’s the sweetest high…there could ever be. 

Of all the love songs…this one’s just about us, 

Bound, yah, we are…no end. 

Far and beyond…no end. 

’Til the end……..’til the end…

                 Fish Out of Water                    

You know it reminds me of my loneliest days… 

I was a fish out of water, yah, yah, 

Now life’s a ceaseless wonder, yah, yah, yah. 

Alone in the darkness, yah, 

Now life’s a ceaseless wonder, yah, yah, yah. 

Since you landed on my heart, 

And your melody played on my heart 

And it goes like this… your love feels like this… it goes… 

All that I know… I feel it...and it so. 

I see it in your eyes…I hope you see it in mine. 

You know it reminds me of my loneliest days, 

Sometimes I look back to my loneliest days 

When I was a fish out of water, yah, yah, 

Now life’s a ceaseless wonder, yah, yah, yah. 

When you come out alive, oh yah 

Life’s a ceaseless wonder, yah, yah, yah. 

As I look back…back to the days 

Not so long ago…not so far away. 

All that I know… I feel…feel it so. 

Cause when you’re story’s told, 

You were brought in from the cold. 

Ya know nothing…stays the same. 

Only love remains. 

As I look back…back through the days 

I see only love…love remains…only love…love remains 

I was a fish out of water, yah, yah, 

Now life’s a ceaseless wonder, yah, yah, yah.

                       All Screwed Up 

 Squander my money… gonna spend my luck 

California, here I come…I’m your son. 

Born in the wild… I was a small, lonely child 

Gonna stay out there… for awhile, in the style and it’s alright. 

So spent…I don’t listen, I won’t bend…I’m in this to the end 

Til I find out what it’s meant. 

Still my world is all screwed up… satisfaction’s hard to come 

You hurt my ego and killed my fun,

Keep givin’ me what I want, what I want. 

For my resurrection… I stay as loose as I can, 

California, here I am… Feel the sand. 

It’s all there…feel your fingers through my hair, 

Out there to take my share. 

Still my world is all screwed up… satisfaction’s hard to come 

You hurt my ego and killed my fun 

Keep givin’ me what I want, what I want. 

And I feel bad…we’re losin’ our contact 

The times we would sit and laugh…tryin’ all night to fly off the map.

              I Can Sleep I Can Dream 

 When I climb the stairs into your eyes 

I leave my world of troubles behind. 

Now I’m sittin’ here…sittin’ with nothin’ goin’ on, 

Wastin’ time…not feelin’ right. 

Sittin’ with a hard-on…feelin’ down, 

Beamin’ on to you…with my desire 

Beamin’ on to you…with all my heart, 

Beamin’ on to you tonight. 

Ain’t you got something you wanna say?

Why it all turned out this way? 

One way back to the days that have been 

I can sleep, yah, I can dream. 

Now I don’t care if I’m alone…don’t care if I’m alone. 

Ain’t you got something you wanna say? 

Why it all turned out this way? 

One way back to the days that have been 

I can sleep, yah, I can dream.
