Questions and Time Copyright 11/99 R. Dreskin Verse 1: There we stood on the edge of our future with nothing but questions and time. Riddled with lies and unhealthy ties To people who filled up our minds. Faith was a friend. We tried to pretend that we were to mighty to fall. Fighting to be worthy and free – to be something or nothing at all. Pre-Chorus 1: We rode on the waves of discovery. We made ourselves cry. We laughed in the face of our tragedy. And we always asked why . . . Chorus: Yes, we were young and tragic – everything seemed like a crime. Yes, we were bold and magic with nothing but questions and time - Nothing but questions and time. Verse 2: Simple desires, passionate fires, nothing to fear or to hide. Knowing no shame – uncouth & untamed and missing the time of our lives. Pre-Chorus 2: We lived off the fruit of insanity, and we haunted the nights. We believed in the strong arm of destiny, Guiding the myth of our lives. Chorus Verse 3: Now I can see how we used to be in the elegant whites of your eyes. I sigh a relief and pray for our peace in the ignorant innocence lost. It came and it went, like a fleeting regret in the moment you realize your fault. We stumbled, in spite of ambition, in spite of our will, in spite of it all . . . Pre-Chorus 3: We hoped for the failure of enemies, and we hated ourselves. We fought & we searched for identities, but we couldn’t be helped. Chorus End Nothing but questions and time. Nothing but questions and time. Nothing but, no nothing but, no nothing but questions and … Nothing but questions and time.

13 Pound Happy Copyright 2001 R. Dreskin Verse 1: From across the table, over twin calzones She caught my eye and dared the question: “Is it really so awful, that I’m tired of being alone – Trading shallow passion for the comfort of home?” Pre-Chorus #1: Before I could speak, I searched for the words. Didn’t know what to think, but I think this is what she heard . . . Chorus: You’ve got to be big enough to know what’s right. You’ve got to be smart enough to see the passion is not worth the fight. You’ve got to be old enough to believe hirteen-pound-happy is all you need. Verse 2: As I thought about her life, I thought about mine – You & me & all our precious time. Through our passionate tears, we cried our fate. Now I know when I look you It’s still not too late. Pre-Chorus #2: Before I could speak, I searched for the words. Forgot how to think, but this is what I think she heard: Chorus: Bridge: Thirteen pounds later, I’m off the pills & have a new life. Across the table, sits a fatter, blushing bride. She has hers. I have mine, And we both have bigger thighs. It’s her and me and thirteen-pound-happy. Pre-Chorus #3: Before I could speak, I searched for the words. Forgot how to think, but this is what I wish you had heard ... Chorus

Tailor Made  2000 R. Dreskin Verse 1: How is it that your body just fits with mine? It’s as if you were tailor made to be at my side. How is it that you know just how much I like? It’s as if you were born to hold me, Tailor made for me. Chorus: How did you find your way into my heart, Broken down and bundled up, afraid that it might all fall apart? How did you fit the pieces in this jigsaw of mine, Whose pieces I couldn’t even find? Verse 2: How is it that you always know what to say? It’s as if you were tailor made to repeat my name. How is it that I feel you down in my knees? It’s as if you were born to kiss me, Tailor made for me. Chorus

You’re So Funny Copyright 12/99 R. Dreskin/R. Colvin (Stewart) Verse 1: You, you’re so funny. You make me laugh ‘til I want to cry. You, you’re so witty – Got a joke every time I lie. You laughed your way into my world. Made me want to be your kind of girl. Now all can do when I think of you is smile. Pre-chorus: You, you make them laugh each night. You – Are you afraid? Are you ashamed, as you stand alone on the stage under the lights? Chorus: As you sit alone in your hotel room, With your caffeine high, your fallen grace and your homesick blues, Cigarettes in bed as you count the sheep, Do you pray for the break of day to bring you sleep? Verse 2: You, you’ve got a way to hide the fears that make you. You, take it day by day – Turn it into humor, so it doesn’t break you. You crack them as well as the next one, Drag me down to tears and call it fun, Make me believe all the world’s a stage. Pre-chorus: You, you make them laugh each night. You – Are you afraid? Are you ashamed, as you stand alone on the stage under the lights? Chorus Bridge: You give them relief. You give them a moment to put their lives aside. You make them forget the pain and the boredom of their simple lives. This is your truth. This is your meaning. You did it all yourself. You did just what you set out to do, And now all they have to say to you is . . . You’re so funny. End: You’re so funny . . . You’re so witty . . .

If I Had The Words Copyright 1999 R. Dreskin/S. Linn Verse 1: If I had a way with words I’d have the perfect line to say. But I don’t have a script for life and I can’t save the day. Chorus: You’re not the hero that I dreamed you’d be. I’m not your inner muse. But I can teach you how to sing in harmony, Together we can sing the blues. Verse 2: You have such a way with words. You talk the perfect game. When you speak it soothes the ears And takes away the pain. Chorus: You’re not the hero that I dreamed you’d be. I’m not your inner muse. But I can teach you how to sing in harmony, Together we can sing the blues. Bridge I sing. You dream. We watch the years pass by. My words, your scores, make it all worth while. Chorus/Bridge

She Has Spoken To me  2/01 R. Dreskin Verse 1: No matter how it seems, I know she’s always right and always there with me. In her subtle, gentle grace She reminds me this is my life, not some silly race. She’s everyone I’ve known. She’s my teacher and my lover, my mother and my home. She knows what’s best for me. Sometimes it’s just so hard to see. Chorus: Everything I want to be, Is everything she sees in me. When it seems I’ve lost my way, I hear her softly singing And feel the peace she’s giving. She has spoken to me. Verse 2: She whispers in my ear. Through the wall of scars it gets a little hard to hear. Sometimes it’s just too hard. I hear her words, but the journey and the morrow seem so far. When my heart is dark with night, “Don’t forget the stars” she says, “and don’t forget the fun is worth the fight.” In that darkness cold and long, Lives inspiration for a thousand songs. Chorus Bridge: Can you hear it? Can you bear it? Can you listen to the barking of your soul? Can you take her? Can you face her every morning in the mirror? Can you love her yet still fear her? She has spoken to me. Chorus End chorus: Everything I want to be Is everything she sees in me. And when it seems I’ve lost my way I hear her softly singing And feel the peace she’s giving, Every morning in the mirror. Can you love her yet still fear her? Can you her it? Can you bear it? She has spoken to me.

Our Destiny Copyright 2001 R. Dreskin/C. Jackson Verse 1: You – You felt like home to me after so many years, With all our world’s strange politics, growing up in the belly of, the belly of our fears. Chorus: This is our destiny, born to sin for the sake of change. This is our intimacy, to fight for peace and love our pain. Verse 2: You – You are my inspiration. I see peace on every one of you. Now I know how I’m still standing. It’s what we were raised to do. Bridge: Holding on to the impossible dream. Trying to save the world. Nothing more, nothing less – it’s our burden to bear. Sometimes we just need, we just need a rest. Chorus Verse 3: You – You look so tired today. I see the weight of the world in your eyes. Despite all the souls you’ve saved, Your passion never dies and you won’t give up the fight, Bridge Chorus

Open Mic Copyright 1999 R. Dreskin Verse 1: Ooooo . . . the dark of the bar, Ooooo . . . the hum of guitar, The bite of the drink, The cigarette stink, Carry me home. Chorus: Somewhere deep inside the night, I wait my turn to sing my peace. I scratch my way back to the light, As strangers move in and out of me. Verse 2: Ooooo . . . the sound of the voices, Too many bad choices, My head floating above The strain of stained love Sets me free. Chorus Verse 3: I may be sitting pretty All by myself a little shitty But I’m not feeling alone. Heat rising of my neck, Sweat dripping down my back, I seem to have found my way home. Chorus

Perfect Date Copyright 2000 R. Dreskin Verse 1: I always said that a good date ends up in love and ends up in bed. But I’ve only had a good date a few times I can count on one hand. Chorus 1: Oooo . . . A perfect date has no end. Oooo . . . It’s perfect high with a perfect friend. Verse 2: It moves swiftly. It’s right and it’s free. Together forever it seems. Once that date begins it may never end. It’s sex and sushi, letters and movies, bubble gum on the bay. It’s a fresh, new start and the ache in your heart at the sight of that beautiful face. Chorus 2 Verse 3: It’s laughing all night by warm candlelight. It’s arms that hold you so well. Between all your dreams and wild things all your fears say ‘Fare-thee-well.’ It’s sex and sushi, letters and movies, bubble gum on the bay. It’s a fresh, new start and the ache in your heart at the sight of that beautiful face. Chorus

Left In Vegas Copyright 1999 R. Dreskin Chorus: I was left in Vegas on a Saturday night. In the heat, destitute, I learned to give up the fight. I was left in Vegas, with my heart tattooed beneath my sleeve. In the glow of the neon lights, I let myself be freed. Verse 1: I knew it was my fault. But still, I wondered How I ended up alone - Self-esteem in the gutter. I was out of money before I hit the runway. We were out of time before I ever called you “mine.” Chorus Verse 2: We went our separate ways, After two suspicious days Of spending & laughing Why did you take off running? You said it was work. I said it was sorrow. You said you had no choice. I said Poh-tah-toe. Chorus End: I was left in … I was left. I was left in Vegas.
