The Closer That You Get
(Bozzio/Bozzio/Cuccurullo)

When you follow your dreams

You turn to find the light has faded
You wonder what it was you were reaching for
How quickly you have lost your way
It's always when you think you've got it made

You take one step after the other
At times you may not know which way to go
You open one door just to find another
Someday you will begin-begin to know

They told you, they told you
You didn't listen to a word they said
It takes so long to remember
But then how quickly they forget

The closer that you get
The harder that it seems
You never know what's next
When you're following your dreams

Dreams-find you
When you follow-falling
Dreams-remind you
In tomorrows-calling

(you never know what's next)

You take one step after the other
At times you may not know which way to go
You open one door just to find another
Someday you will begin-begin to know

You never know what's next
you won't ever know what's next
you won't ever know what's next
you won't ever know what's next
(when you follow your dreams)
You never know what's next
You won't ever know what's next
You won't ever know what's next
You won't ever know what's next
(when you follow your dreams)

The closer
The Closer that you get
The harder
You never
You never know what's next
when you follow
The closer
The closer that you get

Give
(Bozzio/Bozzio/Cuccurullo/O'Hearn)

When's the last time you really touched someone
How did it feel
Did it surprise you when you found yourself unselfish
Did it seem unreal
The pressure's everywhere-everywhere around you
Beckon you to turn the other way
But I say the results are superficial
There's only one way to play

Give-when you have anything at all to give
You have everything to live for
(Give all you've got to give)
After you've given all you can
Give again, give again, give again

Put your head where your feet are going
'Cause the good outweighs the bad
It's you that should be-you should be knowing
It's for what you give not what you have
When it seems you-you can't give enough
Realize it's the good you do it for
So when the going gets a little bit tough
You've got to give a little bit more

When you're looking for an answer
Nothing seems to fit
Don't give up
You've got to let your heart become the
Mirror of your mind
Give in

When it seems you can't give enough
Realize it's the good you do it for
So when the going gets a little bit tough
You've got to give a little bit more

Don't wait for something to cause you reason
Set your goal let your mind follow through
When you feel something to believe in
You'll make all your dreams, all your dreams come true

Now Is the Time (For Love)
(Terry Bozzio)

You're so seriously in need
You're so seriously in need
We're going nowhere not convinced there's something wrong
As if it's all a dream
Try to deny the facts and truth and understanding aren't as
Close as they seem
We lock ourselves inside a mask of apprehension
To black all we see
Confused disguises dreams we hide behind not knowing
What we believe

Now is the time
Now is the time for love
Now is the time
Now is the time for love-for love

You're so seriously in need
You're so seriously in need
We play with reasons to delay the situations
That could bring us love
Life is too short-life holds no answers to the questions
which we won't ask enough
We stand before ourselves and look beyond the mirror
Shatter all the past
We can awaken hopeful dreaming of a future that will
Bring love at last

Now is the time
(I really mean it when I say to you)
now is the time for love
(love is the answer)
Now is the time
(much more than anything we say or do)
Now is the time for love
(we've got to live)
For love-for love-for love-for love
For love

Surrender Your Heart
(Bozzio/Bozzio/Cuccurullo/O'Hearn)

It's not my imagination
It's a no win situation
There's no way to get away from
>From my love

I've got you cornered with my devotion
I've got you captured by emotion
It's impossible to go on
Without love

Surrender your heart to me
Surrender your heart to me
Surrender your heart why can't you see
It's the only way that it can be
Surrender your heart I don't know why
But you never give in to me

My decision is a strong one
And I know that I can hold on
How much longer can you go on
Without love

Clandestine People
(Terry Bozzio & Warren Cuccurullo)

Sweeping all the dirt under the rug
Never let you know just what they're thinking of
What they do behind closed doors
hiding all the things that you've been waiting for

Clandestine people you're so surreptitious
Clandestine people you're so very suspicious

All your vicious sneaking around
Putting up a front so that the truth can't be found
Someday soon you'll make a small slip
And be forced out in the open 'spite of all your trips

Where are all your secrets right now
Curiously tucked beneath your furtive brow
What is it you're trying to hide
Someday it will eat you all up inside

Right Now
(Bozzio/Bozzio)

You've got that look in your eye
The one that makes me wonder why
You could be wanting and needing
But then again these feelings
Could it be I'm dreaming

It's in the way that you stand when you're near to me
It's in the tone of your voice when you talk to me
Or could it be that I'm the one that's wanting you
And I really want you to want me too

Right now
I'm only guessing, so let me know
Right now
Don't keep me guessing

Imagination maybe, seems like it's running away with me
So make it clear for my sake this is no time for mistakes
Please don't hesitate

At times you seem to let on and then you pull away
Just give me some kind of chance I know you wanna play
Or could it be that I'm the one that's wanting you
And I really want you to want me too

Right now I'm only guessing
And right now, I don't know if you're for real
So let me know
Right now don't keep me guessing
I need to know
Right now--show me the way you feel

Right now, right now, right now

All Fall Down
(Bozzio/Bozzio)

There's nothing you can do, what they tell you isn't true
Can't find any answers
And then who do you trust, protect yourself you must
Should you be getting involved
It's getting so involved, it's getting so involved

Is this some foreign game, are they the ones to blame
Will you ever find out
Do you really want to know, could you continue if it shows
You're not as right as you think you are
Are you right or are you wrong
Are you right or are you wrong

It isn't making any sense
Must we use the ultimate defense
or watch the dominoes around us
All fall down

The situation's pressed, all you do is guess
They've got you into a corner
While all the others thrive, by spreading 'round the lies
You can't let it get to you
You can't let it get to you
You can't let it get to you

All the things that people say, obstacles put in your way
Don't let them make you quit
When your back's against the wall, and no one hears the call
You've got to fight for yourself

It isn't making any sense
They'd like to think that you believe the things you read
Must we use the ultimate defense
The picture that they paint is an illusion
Can't let the dominoes around us all fall down (repeat to end)

Racing Against Time
(Terry Bozzio & Warren Cuccurullo)

Plotting-planning-preaching-panning
Causing diversion for the pass under the table
Who to know-what to show-where to go-when to blow
Be wise to sleep with one eye open if you're able

Running in-running out-running over-you're in doubt
Running on a line in a circle 'neath a net
Getting upset-wanting to forget-everything's a threat
Feeling something wet, who said it's no sweat

Racing against time-it's all I do
Racing against time-I don't like to
Racing against time-it's all I do
Racing against time-I don't like to

The clock keeps ticking-pieces of my life go slipping by
I'm pushing forward-moving backward-and I don't know why
The pressure's building-pressure's making it impossible
Before you know it it's completely uncontrollable

Wheeling-dealing-stealing-squealing
Does this kind of life look interesting to you
Modify-amplify-simplify-intensify
It could be quite confusing just to watch me do what I do

It's like I'm living in a situation comedy
They've got me socializing with these absent entities
Even when I'm reasoning in slow decaying orbits
Public opinion isn't fast enough to grasp it

Waiting for a Million Years
(Bozzio/Bozzio/Cuccurullo)

When will there be forgiveness
Are there enough reasons
I do believe it's possible
We can find peace between us

In the real world all the numbers have no names
Real world--notice how the faces change

I've been waiting for a million years
All the promises and all the tears
Patiently waiting as the days go by
Still looking for the truth but finding lies

What will bring light to our eyes
When will we hear the laughter
Can we build hope on promises
Here on the edge of after

I've been waiting, still waiting
I've been waiting, still waiting
I've been waiting, still waiting
I've been waiting for a million years

If Only for the Moment
(Dale Bozzio/Patrick O'Hearn)

You try to live up to what others believe
Till you conquer all your fears and just find what you need
In the time that it takes to settle for less
You could have done with what you thought would be best
You set your ideals with the truth that you see
Nothing turns out quite the same as you thought it would be
Counting the times that you've said what you mean
All the reasons to forget what you want to believe

And you know what I'm thinking now
If only for the moment

All that you think has meaning for you
Excuses are many when you seek what is true
You live in your thoughts and believe you are right
Till what you foresee is brought into sight
You set your ideals with the truth that you see
Nothing turns out quite the same as you thought it would be
Counting the times that you've said what you mean
All the reasons to forget what you want to believe

All the reasons to forget what you want to believe (repeats)
