Rumrunners of St. Louis

[Verse] Under moon's gaze Feathers in a blaze Strutting 'cross the land On one leg I stand [Verse 2] Night so hazy Eyes looking crazy In my sharp tuxedo shirt Kicking up the dirt [Chorus] Squawk of the night Oh what a fright Don't come too near I'll make it clear [Verse 3] Waiting for dawn Soon I'll be gone Through desert dry With my head held high [Bridge] Feathered fury In no hurry Just a glimpse Of ostrich stance [Chorus] Squawk of the night Oh what a fright Don't come too near I'll make it clear

[Instrumental]

[Verse] Sunrise whispers softly Shadows fade away In the cool morning light New dreams start to play [Verse 2] Clouds like cotton candy Blue skies overhead Trompet echoes calling Lonely heart is led [Chorus] Trumpet soul plays louder Feelings flow so free Dance steps in the meadow Heart sings melody [Verse 3] Winds weave through the treetops Leaves begin their dance Joy in every footstep Find a new romance [Verse 4] Gone is all the sorrow Polka time begins Trumpet lifts the spirit Life's a big soft spin [Bridge] In the brass band’s rhythm Tears and smiles collide Solo hymns of heartache Flow like ebbing tide

[Verse] In the shadows where the jazz does cry, A deep note flutters, takes to the sky. Her love is a whisper, tender and sly, Wrapped in a melody, lingering nigh. [Verse 2] Her voice, a velvet mist, slow to rise, Each word a secret, in her dark, dark eyes. A tale of love, where sighs intertwine, In rhythms that dance, so smooth, so fine. [Chorus] Oh, tangled in blue moonlight we swoon, Every note a promise, a sweet monsoon. In hushed tones, love finds its tune, Under the jazz, in the night's soft cocoon. [Bridge] Every breath a promise, a slow caress, In this velvet world, where hearts confess. A deep, low hum, where the night does bless, Two souls entwined in love's finesse. [Verse 3] As the sax does cry soft lullabies, Her love whispers sweet, a star in the dark skies. In the cradle of night, where dreams take flight, Bound by jazzy refrains, holding tight. [Chorus] Oh, tangled in blue moonlight we swoon, Every note a promise, a sweet monsoon. In hushed tones, love finds its tune, Under the jazz, in the night's soft cocoon.

Echoes of Yesterday I think I'm about to go to heaven without my friends Memories flood my mind as my journey nears its end Oh, I wish that I could say another hello to my friends Lost in a moment, lost in a dream Thinking 'bout the way things used to be Laughing 'til we cried, under the summer sky Now the tears fall as I say goodbye I think I'll live the same life if I had to start again Replaying the moments like an endless refrain Oh, I wish that I could say another hello to my friends Footsteps in the sand, echoes in my heart We were young, we were wild, we were a work of art Now the distance grows, time slips away But in my mind, you'll forever stay I look up at the stars, feel the night embrace Longing for a time when we were in the same place Oh, I wish that I could say another hello to my friends As I walk this path, towards the light I carry with me memories, shining bright Though I may be leaving, my spirit ascends I find solace in the echoes of yesterday, my dear friends

[Verse] We're the cats in the shadows, the masters of disguise, With a wink and a nod, we bring surprise, Slippin' through the night like a sly sashay, Yeah, we're the bad guys, and we're here to play. [Verse 2] You might see us comin', but you won't catch our drift, With a little bit of luck and a lot of swift, Stealin' hearts and treasures, we're the cream of the crop, Catch us if you can, 'cause we never stop. [Chorus] Oh, the bad guys got a rhythm, got that jazzy flair, Smooth operators, catch us if you dare, With a twist and a twirl, we’re the talk of the town, The bad guys are in swing, never goin' down. [Bridge] We're the maestros of mayhem, the kings of the con, When the scheme is in motion, we're already gone, With a touch of class and a hint of guile, We turn the tables with a cheeky smile. [Verse 3] In the city’s whisper, where the secrets lie, We paint the town with a cunning eye, From the rooftops to the alleyways, our legend grows, We’re the invincible charmers, everybody knows. [Chorus] Oh, the bad guys got a rhythm, got that jazzy flair, Smooth operators, catch us if you dare, With a twist and a twirl, we’re the talk of the town, The bad guys are in swing, never goin' down.

[Instrumental]

I feel your Chi flowing under my fingers I feel your pain and suffering With my needle I balance your emotions and energy So you can feel some temporary relief You have to make some changes and fight the fight alone With my aid near I am the wounded healer I feel your pain

[Verse] Got my coffee at the crack of dawn, Tie it tight – my armor’s on, To the grind, I march with heavy feet, Hard times on this so-called Easy Street. [Verse 2] Bills are stackin’ like a mountain high, Sweat and toil, I ain't gon’ lie, Dreaming ‘bout that yacht by the bay, While I fight through another working day. [Chorus] Oh, it’s the life of a working man, Doing the best and the best I can, With a hope and a prayer, and a busted plan, Hard times on Easy Street again. [Verse 3] Fancy suits and the shiny cars, Seen from my desk beneath the stars, I punch the clock and chase the moon, Humming to a worn-out old tune. [Bridge] Dreams are golden, but the days are lean, Got my dignity, I got my routine, Silver linings may be few and far, But in my heart, I'm a shining star. [Verse 4] Whistle blows and the night shift starts, Carryin’ dreams in a weathered heart, Hands are calloused, spirit’s tough, Nothin' in this world’s enough.

never gonna give you up

[Verse] Just another rainy night, in a city dimly bright, The neon lights reflect my pain, We sipped our coffee, hand in hand, But now you're just a sketch in sand. [Verse 2] Every midnight whistle blows, a memory that comes and goes, A suitcase packed with dreams we drew, Your shadow dances on the wall, How can someone rise just to fall? [Chorus] Shattered dreams in blue, love's like an old jazz tune, Played on a broken heart’s guitar, In every note, I see your smile, Guess I’ll be lonely for a while. [Bridge] Oh, the melody’s so bittersweet, like your kisses on repeat, A ballad of what might have been, A tear-stained verse on crumpled sheet, Love’s a song I can't unmeet. [Verse 3] At the bar where we first met, the jukebox hums a sad duet, The echoes of a better day, Each clink of glass like whispers low, I’ll drink to you then let you go. [Chorus] Shattered dreams in blue, love's like an old jazz tune, Played on a broken heart’s guitar, In every note, I see your smile, Guess I’ll be lonely for a while.
