O Lovely Gwenita

(Sananda Maitreya)

O lovely Gwenita
I’m so happy to meet ‘ya
Because I think I love you
It is not a tangible thing
But if it were a tangerine,
I would eat it
O lovely Gwenita
I’m so happy to meet ‘ya
Because I think I love you
I cradle you into my arms
And label you with all of the charms
Inside me

I look into the Sun
As the sunlight flashes
And look into your eyes
As the moon relaxes
O lovely Gwenita
I’m so happy to meet ‘ya
Because I think I love you
I pour a drink into the glass
Waiting for the moments to pass
‘til I see you

Look into the sun
As the sunlight flashes
Look into your eyes
As the moon relaxes

O lovely Gwenita
I’m so happy to meet ‘ya
Because I think I love you
My sisters are gathered around me
And if they had not come and found me
I’d be floating

O lovely Gwenita
I’m so happy to meet ‘ya
Because I think I love you
(even when people are screaming, I think of you and I am dreaming, instead)

This Town

(Sananda Maitreya)

I’ve been around 
And I waited for the day 
When a lover would shine on me 
I stood my ground 
And I witnessed there 
That there were only clouds of despair 
And ladies in their mansions, who combed their hair 

This town won’t love you 
If you pay your taxes on the run 
This town won’t love you if you stay 
This town won’t love you 
Unless you lay your heart out on a plate 
And stamp it with an expiration date 
This town won’t love you, this town 

I ran around 
And I played the field 
And laid with women who would not yield 
There all to me 
So I was confused 
All I got was my Springsteen’s bruised 
Though I had a lot of fun being used 

This town won’t love you 
If you pay your taxes on the run 
This town won’t love you if you stay 
This town won’t love you 
Unless you lay your heart out on a plate 
And stamp it with an expiration date 
This town won’t love, this town 

I was a boy 
Who became a man 
According to nature’s master plan 
I was a fool 
Who believed in romance 
And believed in a 2nd chance 
With ladies in their mansions, a slow lap dance 

This town won’t love you 
If you pay your taxes on the run 
This town won’t love you if you stay 
This town won’t love you 
Unless you lay your heart out on a plate 
And stamp it with an expiration date 
This town won’t love, I said this town

With a Girl Like You

(Sananda Maitreya)

With a girl like you 
And a boy like me 
We can sing hallelujah 
And share the love 
Coming through ya 
With a girl like you 
And a boy like me 
We can dance in the moonlight 
And swim the waves of midnight 
A girl like you 
And a boy like me 

I was raised on American streets 
Just to let you know 
I was raised on chicken and cornbread 
Just to let you know 
(and I’ve got to let it show) 

With a girl like you 
And a boy like me 
We can follow the rainbow 
Then ride until it let go 
With a girl like you 
And a boy like me 
We can swing through the jungle 
Until the vines began to crumble 
A girl like you 
And a boy like me 

I was raised on American streets 
Just to let you know 
I was raised on catfish and greens 
Just to let you know 
(and I’ve go to let it show) 

With a girl like you 
And a boy like me 
We can sing hallelujah 
And share the love coming through ya 
With a girl like you 
And a boy like me 
We can follow the rainbow 
And then ride until it let go 
A girl like you (you) 
And a boy like me 

I was raised on American streets 
Just to let you know 
I was raised on chicken and cornbread 
Just to let you know 
(and I’ve got to let it show)

I Never Knew How Much

(Sananda Maitreya)

I never knew how much I loved you 
Until they wrote a song about you! 

Hip shaker, party maker, 
Candle you handle, my butcher 
Be in your baker? 
Fist pumping, the needle jumping 
Between my heartbeat 
And my nerve it rattled something 
“Settle down, don’t be so free” 
(she’d say) ‘Kiss my Jazz, 
I’ll be what I got to be’ 
Settle down, don’t be so free 
I’ll be what I’ve got to be 

I never knew how much I loved you 
Until they wrote a song about you 

The assumption of my function 
Is to meet you at the crossroads 
Of the junction 
Bull masters 
Wall street backers 
I took some chairs,
And fought the bears
And beat the Packers
Settle down, don’t be so free 
Kiss my Jazz, I’ll be what I got to be 
Settle down, don’t be so free 
I’ll be what I got to be 

I never knew how much I loved you 
Until they wrote a song about you 

Sweet mable, beneath my table
If they can’t kill you with the lance 
They’ll use the label 
Sensation 
Animation 
Wake up your nerve 
And take the deeper penetration 
“Settle down, don’t be so free” 
‘Kiss my Jazz, I’ll be what I got to be 
Settle down , don’t be so free 
I’ll be what I’ve got to be 

I never knew how much I loved you 
Until they wrote a song about you!

At the Crossroads

(Sananda Maitreya)

HEY, IF I’M THE ONE WHO FEELS IT
THEN I’VE GOT TO BE THE ONE WHO DEALS IT
‘CAUSE I’M NOT A SECOND CHANCER
HEY, IF I’M THE ONE WHO TAKES IT
THEN I’VE GOT TO BE THE ONE WHO BREAKS IT
BUT UNTIL I FIND MY ANSWERS,
I’LL SURROUND MYSELF WITH DANCERS…

OF A CERTAIN KIND
LIKE MOST OF YOURS
AND SOME OF MINE
I HEAR THUNDER IN A MOUNTAIN FIELD
AT LEAST THAT’S WHAT I FEEL
AND I MUST GO AND I MUST GO ALONE
YOU CAN'T CALL ME ON A TELEPHONE
WHO KNOWS JUST WHAT I’LL FIND
I MAY BE WASTING TIME

AT THE CROSSROADS
WHERE I FIND MYSELF
LOOKING FOR SOME HELP
AFRAID THAT I HAVE TO
FACE IT BY MYSELF
AT THE CROSSROADS
WHERE I FIND MYSELF
LOOKING FOR SOME HELP
AFRAID THAT I’LL HAVE TO
FACE IT BY MYSELF

HEY, IF I’M THE ONE WHO CHASES
ALL THE MIRRORS THAT HAVE BLURRED MY FACES
THEN MY HAT’S OFF TO THE RACES
HEY, IF I’M THE ONE WHO’S TASTED
ALL THE WINE AND WOMEN THAT I’VE WASTED
LOOKING FOR MY ANSWERS
AND SURROUNDED WITH MY DANCERS…

OF A CERTAIN KIND
LIKE MOST OF YOURS
AND SOME OF MINE
I HEAR THUNDER IN A MOUNTAIN FIELD
AT LEAST THAT’S WHAT I FEEL
AND I MUST GO, AND I MUST GO ALONE
YOU CAN’T CALL ME ON A TELEPHONE
WHO KNOWS JUST WHAT I’LL FIND
I MAY BE WASTING TIME

AT THE CROSSROADS
WHERE I FIND MYSELF
LOOKING FOR SOME HELP
AFRAID THAT I’LL HAVE TO
FACE IT BY MYSELF
AT THE CROSSROADS
WHERE I FIND MYSELF
LOOKING FOR SOME HELP
AFRAID THAT I’LL HAVE TO
FACE IT BY MYSELF

HEY, IF I WALK THROUGH THE GRAVEL
OF STONES AT MY FEET AS I TRAVEL
STAGGERING LIKE A PANTHER
HEY, IF I WALK THROUGH THE VALLEYS
THROUGH THE CARAVANS OF BROKEN ALLEYS
LOOKING FOR MY ANSWERS
I’LL SURROUND MYSELF WITH DANCERS…

OF A CERTAIN KIND
LIKE MOST OF YOURS
AND SOME OF MINE
I HEAR THUNDER IN A MOUNTAIN FIELD
AT LEAST THAT’S WHAT I FEEL
AND I MUST GO, AND I MUST GO ALONE
YOU CAN’T CALL ME ON A TELEPHONE
WHO KNOWS JUST WHAT I’LL FIND
I MAY BE WASTING TIME

AT THE CROSSROADS
WHERE I FIND MYSELF
LOOKING FOR SOME HELP
AFRAID THAT I’LL HAVE TO
FACE IT BY MYSELF
AT THE CROSSROADS
WHERE I FIND MYSELF
LOOKING FOR SOME HELP
AFRAID THAT I HAVE TO
FACE IT BY MYSELF…..

A Wife Knows

(Sananda Maitreya)

A wife knows
Her man's pain
A wife knows
Her man's pain
And she brings out the bitter tears that remain

A wife feels
Her man's pride
A wife feels
Her man's pride
And she brings out the best in him by his side

A wife knows
Her man's pain
A wife knows
Her man's pain
And she brings out the bitter tears that remain

These Stones

(Sananda Maitreya)

If you tell me that you're leaving me
My heart would soon be sad
I'll grab the pillows from the bed
And knock these stones against my head
If you turn and walk away
And leave me where I lay
I would just walk out on the ledge
And knock these stones against my head

You say you're leaving me today
You say that I should walk away

If you leave my arms this way
And climb out of our bed
And just leave me on the wetspot
I'll knock these stones against my head
If you wave and say goodbye
You will not see me cry
I'll grab the pillows from our bed
And knock these stones against my head

You say you're leaving me today
You say that I should walk away

If you tell me that you're leaving me
My heart would soon be sad
I'll grab the pillows from the bed
And knock these stones against my head
If you turn and walk away
And leave me where I lay
I'll just walk out on the ledge
And knock these stones against my head
I'll just walk out on the ledge
And knock these stones against my head

If I Just Stay with You

(Sananda Maitreya)

If I just stay with you
The dark sky on the horizon
Will open wide and see
The future belongs to me
If I just stay with you
The whispers that were behind me
Will turn to cheers instead
And melt straight into my ears
If I just stay with you
If I just stay with you
If I just stay with you.

If I just stay with you
The heartbeat that I am pumping
Will keep on loving you,
Loving you all or nothing
If I just stay with you
The mountains that are before us
Will turn to stepping stones
Then brick by brick I am home
If I just stay with you
If I just stay with you
If I just stay with you

If I just stay with you
The dark sky on the horizon
Will open wide and see
The future belongs to me
If I just stay with you
If I just stay with you
If I just stay with you

Has It Been Too Quiet?

(Sananda Maitreya)

I ADMIT, I’VE BEEN CONFUSED
MY MIND SEWN UP
MY SOUL ABUSED
I NEEDED TIME TO BREATHE
TO WARM MY FEET
ROLL UP MY SLEEVES
NOW LISTEN UP BEFORE YOU LEAVE

I KNOW I ASKED YOU FOR SOME QUIET
BUT BABY, HAS IT BEEN TOO QUIET NOW?
I KNOW I ASKED YOU FOR SOME PEACE
BUT NOW IT FEELS LIKE I’VE LOST
A PIECE OF ME

BACK WHEN I KNEW YOUR NAME
BEFORE I KNEW
YOUR OTHER GAMES
BACK WHEN A KISS WAS ALL
YOU NEEDED TO
BREAK YOUR FALL
WE SELDOM SPEAK NOW, IF AT ALL

I KNOW I ASKED YOU FOR SOME QUIET
BUT BABY, HAS IT BEEN TOO QUIET NOW?
I KNOW I ASKED YOU FOR SOME PEACE
BUT NOW, IT FEELS LIKE I’VE LOST
A PIECE OF ME

YOU PLAYED ME LIKE PIANO KEYS
THEN BROKE MY HEART
BY MEMORY
THEN BEAT ME LIKE A DRUM
DROPPED YOUR STICKS
THEN TRIED TO RUN
WE HELD EACH OTHER LIKE A GUN

I KNOW I ASKED YOU FOR SOME QUIET
BUT BABY, HAS IT BEEN TOO QUIET NOW?
I KNOW I ASKED YOU FOR SOME PEACE
BUT NOW, IT FEELS LIKE I’VE LOST
A PIECE OF ME

Free Me

(Sananda Maitreya)

SHE DRIVE YOU CRAZY
IF YOU'RE HER BABY
LIKE A RED MERCEDES
(AND SHE WILL KILL YOUR LUCK WITH OTHER LADIES)

FREE ME, LOVE ME
FREE ME, LOVE ME
FREE ME, LOVE ME
FREE ME, LOVE ME

SHE RODE ME LIKE A
A HARLEY BIKER
I’D ALWAYS FIGHT HER
(AND SHE WOULD SCREAM WHEN I WOULD TRY TO BITE HER)

FREE ME, LOVE ME
FREE ME, LOVE ME
FREE ME, LOVE ME
FREE ME, LOVE ME

SHE KNOW NO MERCY
TO REIMBURSE ME
FOR MY CHARITY
(AND FOR THE TIME THAT IT TAKES TO REHEARSE ME)

FREE ME, LOVE ME
FREE ME, LOVE ME
FREE ME, LOVE ME
FREE ME, LOVE ME

I Don't Give a Fuck About You

(Sananda Maitreya)

SHE DANCES WITH THE DEVIL
HE KEEPS HER ON HIS LEVEL
SHE WAS A COLD ASSASSIN
SHE COULD HAVE TAUGHT A CLASS IN
HE WAS A FIREBIRD
SHE WAS HIS DYING WORD
SO I WANTED HER DEAD
TO PUT A BULLET THROUGH HER HEAD
BUT I DON’T CARE SINCE SHE STOLE MY WORLD
AND PUT HER FOOTPRINTS OVER MY PEARLS
SO I WANTED HER DEAD
TO SUFFOCATE HER ON HER BED
BUT I DON’T CARE SINCE SHE STOLE MY WORLD
AND WHIPED HER FOOTPRINTS OVER MY PEARLS
I DON’T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOU!

SHE CAME IN LIKE A WIDOW
WITH SPIDERS ON HER PILLOW
SHE WAS ‘CONFUSIONISTA’
HE WAS ‘EVANGELISTA’
HE WAS A RINPOCHE
HER FENG SHUI NO EASY WAY
SO HE WANTED TO DROWN
BY KEEP HIS BIGGER FISH AROUND
BUT I DON’T CARE SINCE SHE STOLE MY WORLD
AND PUT HER FOOTPRINTS OVER MY PEARLS
IT GOT HARDER TO SWIM
I SWEATED SO MUCH, CHANCES SLIMMED
BUT I DON’T CARE SINCE SHE STOLE MY WORLD
AND PUT HER FOOTPRINTS OVER MY PEARLS
I DON’T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT YOU!

SHE DANCES WITH THE DEVIL
HE KEEPS HER ON HIS LEVEL
SHE WAS A COLD ASSASSIN

Mrs. Gupta

(Sananda Maitreya)

I’m gonna get you girl 
I’m gonna knock on your door 
I’m gonna get you girl 
I’m gonna knock on your door 
Because you’re a widow 
And you’re gonna need my love 

I go to sleep 
In silent fear 
That my dreams 
Won’t find you here 
‘Cause I‘ve gotta give my heart to Mrs. Gupta! 

I’m gonna get you girl 
And I’m gonna tie you down 
I'm gonna lay with you 
And I want to stay around 

I go to sleep 
In silent fear 
That my dreams 
Won’t find you here 
‘Cause I’ve gotta give my heart to Mrs. Gupta! 

I’m gonna get you girl 
I’m gonna knock on your door 
I’m gonna get you girl 
And I’m gonna knock on your door 
Because you’re a widow 
And you’re gonna need my love 

MRS. GUPTA BE SURE TO REMEMBER THAT OBSTACLES ONLY HELP CLEAR CONFUSION!

Ooh Carolina

(Sananda Maitreya)

When time, first woke up to begin 
You’ve been on my mind since then 
(I dream that I’ve already been there) 
Friends, lost track of the state I'm in 
Drink! Is what they recommend 

Ooh Carolina I’m sure
I just wanna love you, for sure 
I just wanna love you 
Nothing could be finer 

Your face strangles tears without a trace 
You’d cry if you could find a place 
(I dream that I’ve already been there) 
Let’s ride, and ramble on the mountainside 
You, me, and my fertile pride 

Ooh Carolina I’m sure 
I just wanna love you for sure 
I just wanna love you 
Nothing could be finer 

Don’t wait, love goes cold if it’s too late 
And fades when it depreciates 

Ooh Carolina I’m sure 
I just wanna love you for sure 
I just wanna love you 
Nothing could be finer

Family Reunion

(Sananda Maitreya)

Listen to the laughing waters rolling down the stream 
If the sun would come tomorrow it would be a dream 
Because tomorrow a family reunion is taking its place in the park 
Tomorrow's family reunion and it will be there after dark 

Children will be running over the clover in the fields 
Barbecues and Butterflies are rising on the hill 
Because tomorrow a family reunion is taking its place in the park 
Tomorrow’s family reunion and it will be there after dark 

Porticos in alabaster, the calendar is free 
We pray to God that he will bless our humble family tree 
Because tomorrow a family reunion is taking its place in the park
Because tomorrow’s a family reunion and it will be there after dark.

Where Did the Money Go?

(Sananda Maitreya)

Where did all the money go?
Let’s write some crazy rhymes 
I’ve got some time from sipping the wine
Crooks and nannies cooking the books 
And the dollar bills are fleeing the hills
Where did the money go, Where did all the 
Money go? Where did the money go, where 
Did all of the money go? 

Let’s check the space satellites 
Maybe they send it there overnight 
Let’s ask the birds in the trees, 
They say ‘Gesundheit’, if you can sneeze 
Where did the money go, where did all of the money go? 
Where did the money go, where did all of the money go? 

Let’s ask the cynical man 
Maybe he has a financial plan 
Let’s keep an eye on your broker 
Is he a smoker, a practical joker? 
Where did the money go, where did all the money go? 
Where did the money go, where did all of the money go? 

Tell me, WHERE DID ALL THE MONEY GO?

Because You've Changed

(Sananda Maitreya)

The stock market’s fallen today
Because you’ve changed
Because you’ve changed
Because you’ve changed

The cynical life is easy
If you’re living in an easy chair
But if you’re living all your dreams from there
You’ll wake up crying
A horizontal life is easy
If you’re living in an open grave
But if you’re living from the love you save
You’ll end up flying

The stock market’s fallen today
Because you’ve changed
Because you’ve changed
Because you’ve changed
The busses stopped running today
Because you’ve changed
Because you’ve changed
Because you’ve changed

A critical eye can follow
All the meanings of your last mistake
So you must drink the wine
Before they break the empty bottle
A vertical mind will tell you
That you’re wasting all your time alone
But you must dig before you reach
The bone inside your puddle

The stock market’s fallen today
Because you’ve changed
Because you’ve changed
Because you’ve changed
The busses stopped running today
Because you’ve changed
Because you’ve changed
Because you’ve changed

Superstar

(Sananda Maitreya)

Flash back to the early 80’s
You couldn’t even sing
But you were lucky with the ladies
And the magic they bring
They say you didn’t need the money
(BUT YOU ALWAYS NEED THE MONEY!)
But you knew someone who knew someone who knew someone

Superstar
Where did you go where did you go where did you go?
Why did you leave why did you leave why did you leave?
Where did you go where did you go where did you go?
Where did you go?
They say you don’t need the money
(BUT YOU ALWAYS NEED THE MONEY!)

All your hits were written for you
You couldn’t even play
The rumours were, despite your image
That you were gay
They say you didn’t need the money
(BUT YOU ALWAYS NEED THE MONEY!)
But you knew someone who knew someone who knew someone

Superstar
Where did you go where did you go where did you go?
Why did you leave why did you leave why did you leave?
Where did you go where did you go where did you go?
Where did you go?
They say you don’t need the money
(BUT YOU ALWAYS NEED THE MONEY!)

December in the Rain

(Sananda Maitreya)

Some say it was just pneumonia
That December
But I found my love in California
That December
That December
December in the Rain!

Knocked out by a certain fever
That December
It made of me a true believer
That December
That December
December in the Rain!

These things, they take on
A mind of their own

Swept up off my feet and restless
That December
Now I’m a fool and I couldn’t care less
(since) That December
That December
December in the Rain!

These things, they take on
A mind of their own

Captured by a sudden smile
That December
Blinded for a little while
That December
That December
December in the Rain!

Angel (Not a Saint)

(Sananda Maitreya)

Fade, fade I do without you woman
I take the long way home when you’re not here
Let me paint a picture for you
I’m an Angel, not a Saint

So put your body on my canvas and paint
So put the real on your feel
When we meet on the hill
And you can slap me if you tell me I can’t
I’m an Angel, not a Saint!

Come and tumble down across my pillow
Come and lay your flesh upon my shadow
And wet the daisies in my meadow

I’m an Angel, not a Saint
So put your body on my canvas and paint
So put the real on your feel
When we meet on the hill
And you can slap me if you tell me I can’t
I’m an Angel, not a Saint!

Settle all your horses in my stables
Your instability is killing me
Let me paint a picture for you

I’m an Angel, not a Saint
So put your body on my canvas and paint
So put the real on your feel
When we meet on the hill
And you can slap me if you tell me I can’t
I’m an Angel, not a Saint!

What Would You Like?

(Sananda Maitreya)

Dorothy and Toto
Went shopping today
They’re shopping a script for
Another new play
Dorothy had moved from
Kansas to Hollywood
Toto was working
As a TV dog
Do Re Mi Fa, Sol La Ti Da

‘What would you like from the people today?’
She told me that was the name of the new play,
‘What would you like from the people today?’
She wishes they could all be happy
She wishes they could all be happy
She wishes they could all be happy

Several directors
Were ‘sneaking a peek’
Several reporters
Already taking a ‘leak’
Here come the agents,
They’ll push it along
Until the footlights
And the little catfights
Re Mi Fa, Sol La Ti Da

‘What would you like from the people today?’
She told me that was the name of the new play,
‘What would you like from the people today?’
She wishes they could all be happy
She wishes they could all be happy
She wishes they could all be happy

Dorothy and Toto
Live in Beverly Hills
Accountants are fighting
Over paying her bills
She’s scheduled appointments
For fixing her nose
She can afford it
‘cause now she’s rolling in
Dough Re Mi Fa, Sol La Ti Da

‘What would you like from the people today?’
She told me that was the name of the new play,
‘What would you like from the people today?’
She wishes they could all be happy
She wishes they could all be happy
She wishes they could all be happy!

Cowboys and Injuries

(Sananda Maitreya)

Saturday night was the last that I could handle
So I threw her out under her own steam
If you don't know
If you don't know
If you don't know just what I mean
I kicked butt in my boots and a pair of jeans

Her brother was mad so he came to have discussion
Instead he traded words for a concussion
If you don't know
If you don't know
If you don't know just what I mean
I kicked butt in my boots and a pair of jeans

From the corner of my eye I saw a witness
But I convinced him to mind his own business
If you don't know
If you don't know
If you don't know just what I mean
I kicked butt in my boots and a pair of jeans
If you don't know
If you don't know
If you don't know just what I mean
I kicked butt in my boots and a pair of jeans

Priscilla

(Sananda Maitreya)

Priscilla, don’t let your dragons fall
Priscilla, don’t let your dragons fall
Or you may lose your way while the light of the day finds the dawn.

Priscilla, don’t let them tie your shoes
Priscilla, don’t let them hold your screws
Because life in the city will laugh at your pity

O!
When she dances it feels like heaven
GO!
And be well, ring your bell, grab your pillars
SO!

Priscilla, don’t let your dragons fall
Priscilla, don’t let your dragons fall
Or you may fade away while the light of the day finds the dawn
Or you may fade away while the light of the day finds the dawn

The Lost Highway

(Sananda Maitreya)

Come on up to Kansas City
And bring the old van with the peace sign
We'll share a smoke and tell some jokes
And have a real good time
We'll talk about the old days
And whether our dreams were realized
And we'll laugh about the stories that
Vandalized our pride
And we will find our way home
On the lost highway
And we will find our way home
On the lost highway

We tried to do the right thing
But sometimes the right thing comes out wrong
We raised some hell, we cracked the bell
And partied all night long
Life is like a snowball
It melts if it's not rolling on
So pick up your feet
And kick the beat
And rave until it's gone
And we will find our way home
On the lost highway
And we will find our way home
On the lost highway

Say goodbye to Kansas City
And next time you come stay awhile
'Cause I know some girls that will rock
Your world and loosen up your smile
Pay attention on the road
And pull over if you have to sleep
Because the yellow lines are full
Of destinations that time don't always keep
And we will find our way home
On the lost highway
And we will find our way home
On the lost highway
On the lost highway
On the lost highway

Now pay attention on the road!
