IMMORTAL
V1:
ROLLING THROUGH THE CENTURIES
THE MUSIC FLOWS BETWEEN
FALLING DOWN AND GETTING UP, EVOLVING ENDLESSLY
CONNECTNG THOUGHTS AND FEELINGS OF ALL HUMANITY
YOU NEVER KNOW FROM WHERE IT CAME OR WHERE IT’S GONNA BE
CHORUS:
CAUSE THE FUTURE IS IN OUR HANDS
DON’T KNOW WHERE IT WILL LAND
MAKE ME IMMORTAL SO I’M NOT WRITTEN IN THE SAND
I’VE GOT A FEELING
V2:
WE THINK OF TOMORROW AS A FINISH LINE
BUT REALLY WE’RE DANCING TILL THE END OF TIME
AHEAD OF YOU THERE IS A LONG DIVERGING LINE
EVENTUALLY YOU’LL FIND YOUR WAY
LET LOVE BE YOUR GUIDE
CHORUS:
CAUSE THE FUTURE IS IN OUR HANDS
DON’T KNOW WHERE IT WILL LAND
MAKE ME IMMORTAL SO I’M NOT WRITTEN IN THE SAND
I’VE GOT A FEELING
INSTRUMENTAL JAZZ PART
REPEAT CHORUS 2 X.

Let's Defy the Stars

LET’S DEFY THE STARS (from the perspective of a Scorpio)
(SPOKEN WORD)
I COULD HOPE AND WISH AND PRAY FOR THE COMPASSION OF A PISCES, THE OPTIMISM OF AN ARIES AND THE CHEERFULNESS OF A LEO. AND ALTHOUGH I’M A SCORPIO THAT KNOWS HOW TO STING IN ALL THE RIGHT PLACES, I ENDED UP WITH A GEMINI WHO KEEPS SWITCHING IT UP ON ME.
V1:
YOU AND ME WERE MEANT TO BE
BUT YOU WERE YOU AND I WAS ME
THE STARS WERE NOT ALIGNED THAT NIGHT
WE WON’T GIVE UP WITHOUT A FIGHT
CHORUS:
LET’S DEFY THE STARS
THEY DON’T KNOW WHO WE ARE
EVEN IF IT LEAVES A SCAR
NOTHING CAN KEEP US APART
LET’S DEFY THE STARS
V2:
I’M NOT THE ONE YOU WERE MEANT TO FIND
BUT IF YOU WERE A VIRGO
YOU’D BE CONSIDERED A FRIEND OF MINE
YOU STOLE MY HEART JUST LIKE BONNIE DID WITH CLYDE
MAYBE WE WERE BORN, WE WERE BORN TO COLLIDE
CHORUS:
LET’S DEFY THE STARS
THEY DON’T KNOW WHO WE ARE
EVEN IF IT LEAVES A SCAR
NOTHING CAN KEEP US APART
LET’S DEFY THE STARS

IT’S NOT PUPPY LOVE
(IT’S REAL)
V1: SENT FROM THE SKY
I FEEL IT THIS TIME
CAN’T HELP BUT NOTICE
ALL THE BUTTERFLIES INSIDE
I’M A GIRL THAT KNOWS WHO SHE IS AND WHAT SHE WANTS
I’M A GIRL THAT KNOWS HOW SHE FEELS
PEOPLE SAY OUR LOVE AIN’T NOTHING BUT A TEENAGE DREAM
BUT I CAN TELL YOU IT’S REAL
CHORUS:
IT’S NOT PUPPY LOVE- IT’S REAL
JUST BECAUSE WE BROKE UP THEN MADE UP
DOESN’T MEAN IT’S ANY LESS OR FAKE LOVE
2X
V2: THOUGH WE ARE YOUNG
I AM COMPLETE
NOBODY EVER SAID
LOVE WOULD BE EASY
I’M A GIRL THAT KNOWS WHO I AM AND WHAT I NEED
I CONTROL MY OWN DESTINY
UNDERSTAND IN LIFE THERE ARE NEVER GUARANTEES
BUT I BELIEVE IN YOU- AND ME
CHORUS:
IT’S NOT PUPPY LOVE- IT’S REAL
JUST BECAUSE WE BROKE UP THEN MADE UP
DOESN’T MEAN IT’S ANY LESS OR FAKE LOVE
2X

THE SOUNDS OF SUMMER
V1:
FLIES BUZZING IN MY EAR DROWNING OUT THE RADIO
LAYING IN MY HAMMOCK CAUSE I’VE GOT NOWHERE TO GO
THE HUM OF THE CICADAS- BIRDS SINGING MELODIES
EATING WATERMELON UNDERNEATH MY FAVORITE TREE
CHORUS:
THE SOUNDS OF SUMMER (4X)
V2:
ORANGE SKIES OR CHILLI FRIES
I CAN’T DECIDE WHICH ONE THAT I LIKE MOST
I’LL LATHER ON BANANA BOAT JUST SO MY SKIN DON’T TURN TO TOAST
GOOD VIBRATIONS IS PLAYING ON THE STEREO
WITH NIGHTS LIKE THESE THERES NO PLACE I’D RATHER GO
SOLO:
BRIDGE:
LEAVES FALLING OFF THE TREES
IT’S ABOUT TO BE THAT TIME AGAIN
I HAVE TO SAY, I KNEW THIS SUMMER WOULD END
SO TAKE ME BACK, TAKE ME BACK
I DON’T WANT THESE NIGHTS TO END
I JUST WANT TO HEAR (BREAK)
THE SOUNDS OF SUMMER…
