Burn. These. Bridges. ©2019 – R. Dreskin VERSE 1 Do you ever miss me? Do I haunt your dreams? Do you ever even think of me? Do you regret anything? Do you hate me, blame me, call me names the way I do you? Do you? Do you? Do you still pretend that you don’t understand What made me so damn mad? What made me … CHORUS 1 Burn … these bridges to the ground. Watch me walk away. Don’t care I’m not around. Did you ever anyway? VERSE 2 And when the bad dreams come They’re not about the burn. I don’t hide. And I don’t run. I want to face you head on- Take your hand, hear your laugh, like before we were done. But no – I can’t get to you. No – I just can’t reach you. Something’s always in the way: phone won’t dial, can’t get a signal, Can’t find the right words to say. And there’s nothing I can do but watch you fade away … And when I wake I … CHORUS 2 Burn … these bridges to the ground. Watch me walk away. Don’t care I’m not around. Did you ever anyway? Burn these bridges down. Burn, burn these bridges. Light the match. Walk away. You never even bothered to ask if I’m ok. Not that it would’ve mattered anyway. Just light the match and walk away. I’m not sorry. Not sorry. Sorry not sorry. BRIDGE Burned. Pushed. Dropped & left – I’ve stood alone watching, waiting after the fire was – SET. But WHO lit that match? WHO set who free … from being scarred yet again by a wolf … dressed in the clothing of a friend? We had our time, had our fun. Our shelf-life has come and gone. Still, each time I speak your name … My - Lips - Burn. VERSE 3 It doesn’t mean I never miss you. It doesn’t mean that I forget How we laughed. How we cried. How we danced in the sun. In my dreams I can call, and you still come … But when I wake I … CHORUS 3 Burn … these bridges to the ground. Watch me walk away. Don’t care I’m not around. Did you ever anyway? Burn these bridges down. Burn, burn these bridges. Burn these bridges down. Burn, burn these bridges. Light the match. Walk away. You never even bothered … Just light the match, light the match And watch it burn.

Ellie Mae & the Butterfly King ©3/2020 – R. Dreskin VERSE 1 He’d show his teeth, turn a check ~ to everyone he’d meet Give a growl, evil eye ~ land you in the hot seat. Reminding you it was good to be king. VERSE 2 She’d laugh it off, kiss his face, saying that’s just his way. No apology necessary ‘cause he was the king. And the beast – it soothed him when she’d sing … CHORUS 1 Some would say, in love no one escapes Without a scar or a scuff or ending up a little insane. He’d spread his wings, she’d climb on, hold on tight & give in. She was his Ellie Mae. He was the Butterfly King. VERSE 3 They were both ~ so alone ~ without family or home. ‘til the day, they friended fate, then 2 became1. Together they were a force- so fierce - so strong. VERSE 4 The Butterfly King, with spectacular wings ~ So beautiful and free, gave her heart meaning and peace. He was a monarch ~ and she, she was his queen. CHORUS 2 Some would say, in love no one escapes Without a scar or a scuff or ending up a little insane. He’d spread his wings, she’d climb on, hold on tight & give in. She was his Ellie Mae. He was the Butterfly King. BRIDGE (x2) Soldier ~ King ~ Alibi ~ Wings (x2) She was the soldier. He was the king ~ She was the alibi ~ He was the wings Left behind ~ their separate lives ~ NO MORE FEAR ~ NO MORE LIES Di – vi - ded - they - fall, un- it- ed – they - fly. Spoken Those who know say: With love, comes a little heartache, A couple scars, a couple scuffs, but at the end of the day… We spread our wings, hold hands, hold tight and begin To leave behind the insanity and start to live END CHORUS He’d spread his wings, she’d climb on, hold on tight & give in. She was his Ellie Mae. He was the Butterfly King. He was the Butterfly King.

Sweet Anomaly © 2/2016 R.Dreskin VERSE 1 Like a perfect song comes from beyond, You come to me so safe so strong Like a place of peace in a perfect storm, Your patience is a luxury gone wrong. PRECOHRUS1 You … so easy to please … / You … such a mystery … CHORUS1 No in-betweens, no fear nor greed Your unconditional-ity unlike anything I’ve seen, so unlike me … Sweet Anomaly. VERSE2 From the outside, (looking in) all they see the one holding all the cards is me. But you & I, we’re the only ones who know the truth: How I depend on you brakes all the rules. PRECOHRUS2 You … so easy to please … / You … such a mystery … CHORUS2 No in-betweens, no fear nor greed Your unconditionality unlike anything I’ve seen, so unlike me … Sweet Anomaly. BRIDGE In a world of / so much bad stuff I’m well aware that I don’t understand much. Everyone needs, everyone bleeds I’m so lucky to have you as my crutch. When the ride / gets to be too much We hold on and got by on the small stuff: Like a good laugh or a soft touch. It’s ok if they misunderstand us … FINAL CHORUS You … too easy to please … You … such a mystery … No in-betweens, no apologies/ You took my hand. I took your lead. Your unconditionality is insanity … Sweet Anomaly.

Baby’s Got Her Cocoa Back ©2017 – R. Dreskin INTRO Baby’s got her cocoa back … cocoa back … Baby’s got her cocoa back Baby’s got her cocoa back … cocoa back … Baby’s got her cocoa back CHORUS 1 Slow down, relax ... Baby’s got her cocoa back Shut up and dance … Baby’s got her cocoa back I’ll take the chance, put on my big-girl pants I’ll show you both hands, ‘cause Baby’s got her cocoa back VERSE 1 Falling down the rabbit hole … Slow it down, back it up & shake that ass, ‘cause Baby’s got her cocoa back Shit just gets weirder as I go. With a little but on this and a little bit of that and a whole lotta love to give back … Here I stand without you, nothing left to show Except all my crap. Why does it feel all wrong? I’ve got no plan. I’ve got no map, at least I’ve got my cocoa back. CHORUS 2 Slow down, relax ... Baby’s got her cocoa back Shut up and dance … Baby’s got her cocoa back I’ll take the chance, put on my big-girl pants I’ll show you both hands, ‘cause Baby’s got her cocoa back VERSE2 Gonna make you move. Gonna make you laugh. Eat this. Drink that. I’ll take you into Wonderland. We all are a little mad here, a little sad there. I found my magic mushroom, the caterpillar showed me where. And the smile in the sky, with a wink of the eye Set me on the right path saying: My Alice ~ no, My Rebekkah ~ Baby … here’s your cocoa back. CHORUS 3 Slow down, relax ... Baby’s got her cocoa back Shut up and dance … Baby’s got her cocoa back I’ll take the chance, put on my big-girl pants I’ll show you both hands, ‘cause Baby’s got her cocoa back Slow down, relax ... Baby’s got her cocoa back Shut up and dance … Baby’s got her cocoa back I’ll take the chance, put on my big-girl pants I’ll show you both hands, ‘cause Baby’s got her cocoa back <break> Baby’s got her cocoa back … cocoa back … cocoa back … Baby’s got her cocoa back Baby’s got her cocoa back … cocoa back … cocoa back … Baby’s got her cocoa back BRIDGE The falling, the bruising, I’m madder than a hatter. Don’t know where I’m going – How I get there doesn’t matter. It’s no use complaining. Yesterday is gone forever. That girl is forgotten - Each day what’s left gets better. If I try a little harder, I can get a little farther In the race to be the master, running circles ever faster. How long, I ask, do we run? This caucus race is no fun. A second can last forever, even when you’re good & done. Since I hit the ground everything has changed. My piece of mind has gone astray. Let me tell you what I had to learn the hard way: Peace – It’s overrated … it’s just ~ another fad. ‘Cause all the most inspiring people are usually quite mad. I wish someone had the answer, making send of all this mess. Tell me, why is a raven like a writing desk? Oh ~ I’ll give them hell. They all switch places when I ring the bell. Even with no plan or map … Baby’s got her cocoa back. CHORUS 4 Slow down, relax ... Baby’s got her cocoa back Shut up and dance … Baby’s got her cocoa back I’ll take the chance, put on my big-girl pants I’ll show you both hands, ‘cause Baby’s got her cocoa back

Close Enough ©2018 – R. Dreskin VERSE 1 I can’t get close enough to you. I don’t know how. There’s you in everything I do ~ the ups and downs. And as we navigate this love we have found I can’t get close enough to you. I can’t get close enough … I can’t get close enough … VERSE 2 I can’t get close enough to you. I don’t know when You became everything I knew ~ no start no end And words, they fail me now ~ I love you doesn’t send The message I need to get through … I can’t get close enough to you CHORIUS 1 (x2) Ooh ooh ooh – I can’t get close enough … I can’t get close enough to you … VERSE 3 I can’t get close enough to you.

No matter how long, how much it’s not close enough. We come together, under covers, life-long lovers, lost forever until we found That we can’t love any better, than we do together. For the first time I can see forever as clearly as I see now … CHORUS 3 (x4): I can’t ~ I can’t get ~ I just can’t get … close enough to you <break 2 measures> VERSE 4 I can’t get close enough to you, but this I know for sure: All my todays and all my tomorrows are all … yours … (x2): I can’t ~ I can’t get ~ I just can’t get … close enough to you I can’t ~ I can’t get ~ I just can’t get … close enough to you RMD: Your taste, your smell, you touch consuming all my love.

Psycho Stalker ©2019 – R. Dreskin INTRO This is not just another love song. It’s a love song sung about a love gone wrong. So, you’ve had your fun. You say you’re done. You think it’s over, but Babe, it’s just begun. VERSE 1 You can leave me, but it won’t be pretty. I hold on tight to how you promised to complete me. Just remember: It’s you who wanted me, haunted me, now getting rid of me won’t be that easy. CHORUS Now that I’ve found you I can never live without you. I’ve tied and bound you with my love - never let you go. You’ve got permanent free rent in my heart and in my basement. Free – just like Davy Jones’ locker. You said you loved me, now you can never leave me, or end up under the sea – Baby, gonna be your psycho stalker. VERSE2 Isn’t this fun? I chase. You run. Maybe today will be the day that I come undone. I may be watching – around the corner, down the road, or right outside your window Every Saturday night and you don’t even know … Remember how you wished I adored you? Not quite the joy that you expected once it came true. You said you’d die for me, lie for me, cry for me. Let’s test those words, Oh yeah, this is gonna hurt. CHORUS BRIDGE You’re so damn hot. Gonna roll in your spot When you get up from bed to visit the pot. In the darkness of the hall I wait – watching you sleep, watching you change. Staring out from the shadows at your nakedness Plotting how I can make you my mistress I have to have you all to myself … VERSE 3 So, you found someone new? No, that really won’t do. If I am not the one there will be no one else for you. Every breath you take, every cake you bake, every time you Rainbow-Bright her, I lie in wait. Baby, gonna be your psycho stalker … CHORUS (x2)

California Second © 2014 R.Dreskin VERSE 1 In a CA second … you turned me on Before I could regret it … you were gone. When I can’t take it any longer, Feels like the world is crashing all around me. Can’t put one foot in front of the other - I just need somewhere to hide. Every choice I make ends in disaster. Can’t find the will to make one more decision. With no more strength to fight, now it’s time to run. PRE-CHORUS I know this feeling of fighting or fleeing … Need a reminder of who I’m supposed to be. CHORUS In a CA second … you turned me on Before I could regret it … you were gone. I never thought I’d feel that sane again … until you came along In that CA second … you proved me wrong. VERSE2 No, you don’t have to touch me. I feel the heat whenever you’re around me. Your eyes catch mine, and it’s just what I need tonight. I can hear you breathing Next to me when you stand just a little too close. I close my eyes, start to feel alright. PRE-CHORUS I know this feeling of fighting or fleeing … And you remind me of who I used to be. CHORUS In a CA second … you turned me on Before I could regret it … you were gone. I never thought I’d feel that sane again … until you came along In that CA second … you proved me wrong. PRE-CHORUS I know this feeling of fighting or fleeing … BRIDGE <Rebekkah only>I will stand, will stay, will fight one more day. <Rebekkah only>I will stand, will stay, will fight one more day. I - will stand, will stay, will fight one more day. I - will stand, will stay, will fight one more day. <All> I - will stand, will stay, will fight one more day. <All> I - will stand, will stay, will fight one more day. As I sit waiting for someone to save me … I’m reminded of who I want to be … <Musical Break> END CHORUS In a CA second … Baby, I turned you on And you’ll never forget it … even though, even though I’m gone. In a CA second … Baby, I turned you on Now you’ll never, never forget it … even though I’m gone.

The Grand Hair Palace ©2018 R. Dreskin CHORUS The Grand Hair Palace is closed for murder. The sign on the door: “closed until further … “ She’s gonna cross that tape, desperate for a new coiffure ‘cause all she needs is a brand-new pony. VERSE 1 Desperate times call for desperate pleasures. What’s your poison and in what measure? What would you kill for? what would you die for? Are they one in the same? Does she have a name? PRE-CHOURS 1 When everything you know has changed And everywhere you go feels strange How do you get a hold of something to feel sane? CHORUS <music break> Chant: G – R – A – N – D P – A – L – A – C – E VERSE 2 Her need to feed turned to desperation when she arrived to find the palace closed up tight. Yellow tape, stench of death – it’s not going to stop her. She’s gonna get that high one way or another. And if she can’t have her drug of choice She’ll do anything to fill that void. She’ll find her rush in the break-and-enter And a brand-new look will make her so much better. PRE-CHORUS 2 ‘everything, she knows has changed And everywhere she goes feels strange. All she dares to hope is for another day. CHORUS BRIDGE: (Solo for 2 measures) (Break for 2 measures) One little addict sitting on the bed – took another hit and lost her head. Woke up naked in the middle of the floor – can’t remember the truth of the night before It’s not life it’s a path of survival. The only reliable truth is her bottle. WHAT – is she supposed to think, when her whole life all she can count on … is the … next. cold. drink.

Wonder Woman Wishes © 8/05 R. Dreskin Verse 1: When everyone around you, has somehow lost the cool, And everywhere you glance you spy another fool, When no one seems to notice you’re running out of fuel, Wonder Woman Wishes pull you through. Verse 2: That stranger in the mirror still resembles you. Somehow she looks cleaner, happier but meaner, A little more worn, a little less queer. Wonder Woman Wishes brought her here … Pre-Chorus 1: Where’s my golden lasso to tell me truth from lies? I never had one on my hip so I had to learn to read between the lines. Chorus: We take our pills. We pay our bills. We wish for someone to save us. But in the end our only peace, our great rewards Are the wishes Wonder Woman gave us. Verse 3: Some may call us crazy, monsters in the head. Mistaking it for lazy when we don’t get out of bed. When we realize without us the world still turns on … Wonder Woman Wishes keep us strong. Pre-chorus 2: I wish I had those perfect curves & a thousand years to master mind. But what I’ve got is too much in the hips & not enough in the way of time. Bridge: I don’t have the strength it takes to save all mankind Sometimes I’ve barely enough to wipe the tears from your eyes. I don’t have a glass airplane to take me to the moon. But as it turns out to get me to heaven all I need is you.
