The Buddha Song 03:33

The Buddha Made Me Cry copyright 12/99 R. Dreskin/R. Colvin Verse 1: It was a long, long time ago the Buddha made me cry. Teased me in a pizza place out on Mission Bay Drive. I tried to laugh at him. I tried to hurt his pride. But in the end, my little friend, was more a fiend than I. Chorus: As we dined on pizza pie above the oceans of our lives, We watched allegiance go awry. With each passing moment words sharpened into knives In the end, my little friend, taught me how to cry. Verse 2: Yes, it was my fault the Buddha made me cry. He called me on my bullshit over a mushroom pizza pie. He pitched a tent in my broken heart, Warmed his hands by the fire’s light. He & I, in harmony, slung mud to feel all right. Chorus Verse 3: It was a long, long time ago the Buddha made me cry. But the salt of died-up tears still stings my tired eyes. I tried to get the best of him. I tried to hurt his pride. But little me, I couldn’t beat the honesty inside. Chorus

Left in Vegas 02:45

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: 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 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. Music Interlude 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. I was left in … I was left. I was left in Vegas.

Simple Truths 04:36

Simple Truths Copyright 12/99 R. Dreskin/S. Colvin/S. Linn/G. Johnstone Verse 1: In that moment you lost control, Felt your faith escape your soul, Your ideals fall to the side. That downward spiral strikes again. You hate your life, yourself, your friends, But worst of all, this world we’re in. Chorus: Without darkness there would be no light, no new beginnings. Without our trespasses there would be no impromptu, make-up kisses. When you call to me With your desperate words & angry questions, These simple truths are all that I can give. Verse 2: I can’t explain or understand. I don’t know God, his will or plan. I don’t even know his political stance. What is it that you need to hear, Some explanation to make it all clear? Well, all I have are simple truths. Chorus Bridge: I don’t know how a child with a gun and a will and a heart can kill for fun. I can’t justify the cancer & sickness that strike the innocent ones. I don’t remember the reason for the rape by my love in the backseat of a car. No, I don’t know much outside these simple truths. Chorus

My Mama’s Ring Copyright R. Dreskin ~ 8/99 Chorus 1: I wear my mama’s ring. When I fall in love, fall apart, make amends or break your heart. I hear my mama sing. Don’t forget the stars. Don’t forget the stars. Don’t forget the stars . . . Verse 1: I can hear my mama’s voice – she whispers not to be afraid. And I can fell her in each choice that I attempt to make. And when I speak, she hears me. When I weep, she feels me And when I hurt, she heals me. Chorus Verse 2: My mama’s ring’s a golden remedy for keeping life at my own pace. An ever changing memory . . . She stands forever by my side, through lonely days & restless nights, through tears of joy and bitter fights, through friends forsaken, love’s last rights, dying dreams that dim my sights. She takes my wrongs and weaves them into fitting me just right. Chorus

Gary’s Song Copyright 12/99 R. Dreskin/G. Johnstone Verse 1: Can you feel it? Can you be it? Can you take mw home tonight? I can tell by the way that the earth is trembling, We can’t stop this kind of quake. Verse 2: Getting closer. Beating faster. I can feel you in my space. In the night, on the bay I feel your heart beating – Now there’s no retreating. Bridge: I touched your fortune. I held it in your hand. In your baby blues I saw the truth – It’s all I needed to understand. How you lingered, with an old lover’s ease. All that’s left, when the fear subsides is you & me. Verse 3: Now I know you. I want to be you. I want to have that shining light. I want to know how it feels to be inside your life- With everyone on my side. Verse 4: Now I’m with you. I want to trust you. Can’t you just have faith in me? I can be what you need id your heart would be open. If you’d just be with me. Bridge Repeat Verse 1

What Goes Around 03:36

What Goes Around Comes Around Copyright 11/99 R. Dreskin/S. Linn Verse 1: There he goes again, talking like he’s my best friend. It doesn’t matter what he says. It’s all a game to him, bragging ‘bout where he’s been. He’s such a big man in that little head. Chorus: And what he doesn’t know is what tomorrow’s fortune holds. What goes around, comes around. And there’s no in-between - what you get is what you see. What goes around, comes around. Verse 2: When he saunters in he wears a practiced grin And sports a polished line or two. He moves around the place, no lack of style or grace. He’ll sell you anything, but the truth. Chorus Verse 3: He’s got an ugly way he makes himself stay sane. He won’t hesitate to drag you in. And when he walks away, he’ll stand alone someday And it will all come back to haunt him.
