Overly Exuberant

Pardon me If I dance like an idiot
Pardon me If I sing too loud
Pardon me If I'm overly exuberant
Pardon me Unlock your intensity
I don't want to dwell on problems I'm already too stressed out
I need to escape for an evening I'm already too stressed out
I need to escape for an evening So let's go hangout
I need massive distraction I need to get out of my head
I have the urge to fly off in a flurry I need my party bone fed
Pardon me If I dance like an idiot
Pardon me If I sing too loud
Pardon me If I'm overly exuberant
Pardon me Unlock your intensity
I want to take off in a rocket And go the speed of light
I want the stars to proliferate Illuminate the entire night
I crave a moment of euphoria My energy is out of control
You're so full of exuberance And we've got similar goals
Pardon me If I dance like an idiot
Pardon me If I sing too loud
Pardon me If I'm overly exuberant
Pardon me Unlock your intensity
Pardon me If I dance like an idiot
Pardon me If I sing too loud
Pardon me If I'm overly exuberant
Pardon me Unlock your intensity

Eloise
03:57

Eloise climbs up the mountainside
It’s lonely in every stride
It’s a simple life in the Scotland Hills Far from a soldier’s life
She dreams of when she can live again
When he takes her as his wife
Raymond marches the countryside
On his way to war
His thoughts are back in the Scotland Hills to the life he led before
His heart bleeds, but he has his needs
And his loyalties are torn....
I will wait Let him go I will wait I know
There’s a vow People go I will wait I know
Eloise Drifts down the mountainside
And prays that Raymond’s true
She made a vow and she keeps her word
It seems the thing to do
As Raymond lets her youth slip by
The betrothal is betrayed
Raymond sits by the tavern door
Knowing Eloise will wait
His mind is plagued by newfound dreams
He’s a young man come of age
His heart bleeds, but he has his needs
And he’ll forsake his bride
A soldier strong and a lovely girl
Who waits for his return
Youthful love in the Scotland Hills, where mind and bodies yearned
He made a vow, and so did she
But now new passions burn

Ivory Tower

I have noticed you from afar I heard stories so bizarre
Dear Rapunzel -golden hair By the window standing there
Up in your ivory tower Kept away from all the world
You're a lonely princess, but an ordinary girl
I will rescue you tonight I will show you the world outside
I can climb your flowing hair You're the answer to my prayer
You fear those who neglected you That is one thing that I'll never do
I will promise joy and laughter We'll live happily ever after
Up in your ivory tower

Dying Happy

Dying happy's floating off the ground
My arms around a woman; My head above the clouds
I see her face it's there when I look down
I stare into the candle and the shadows fall around
Dying happy
Happiness, she taught me is a shadow
Crawling down the inside of a bottle
She knows me; She knows what I'm after
I drink the dark mascara in her laughter
She opens up my heart and lets it pour
Each morning I wake lying on the floor
She lead me to the darkness like a candle
Flickering until the wax all dropped
She left me to the darkness quite a child
I smiled while my light just wandered out
And know you raise my face with eyes too bright for dying
And hold me with a look she's never known
I'm drunk enough that you can remind me
But you're not the kind of girl who takes me home
Dying happy's both feet on the ground
My arms around you, woman; My head above the clouds
I see your face; It's there when I look up
I stare into your blue eyes and the angles dance around
Dying happy

Little Black Kitty Kat

Your luck could change in the blink of an eyelash
A little black kitty kat crossed your path
Watch out when your fortunes clash
The world will change in a flash
If you got problems, take out the trash
If you're in debt you just need cash
If you need forgiveness, you just gotta ask
The world will change in a flash
Little Black Kitty Kat
Your luck could change in the blink of an eyelash
The cat's on the prowl on a rainy forecast
Crossing the road and causing a car crash
The lady who drove got a case of whiplash
The world will change in a flash

Tears of Joy

Romantic comedies; they’re movie fantasies
The goofy guy can’t get the girl
I rent those movies; They’re out of DVD
Could it really happen in the real world?
The story’s complicated, before I’ve always waited
And only worshipped from afar
And then I met you close-up, you really bring a new love
And now I’m feeling like a star
Tears of Joy My leading lady
I’m dancing in the rain
Perfect happiness
I am filled with Tears of Joy
It’s like they wrote the script, the twirling dancers dipped
Just like Sue Sarandon and Richard Gere
I’m not just imagining this happy ending
It’s just you and me, my dear
Tears of Joy Tears of Joy
