PRELUDE/DANCE IN THE STROBE LIGHT
By Mychael John Thomas
PRELUDE - Instrumental
DANCE IN THE STROBE LIGHT
I like to watch you move…Gyrating through space and time
Seeing your body groove…Is driving me out of mind
The pulse is strong…Throbbing till morning comes we
CHORUS
Dance in the strobe light…Electric sky
Dance in the strobe light
Sparkles that catch your eyes…Reflecting like diamond suns
Surging emotions fly…And focus on everyone
Who feels the beat…Where earth and heaven meet we
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Drifting away in your love…
Now in this moment so right
Let the memory of the night
Last a lifetime…a lifetime
You got that look of love…I’m caught in your radiant beam
You know you lift me up…To a place only angels dream of
Fire in the air…Move like we just don’t care and

NOTHING NEW UNDER THE SUN
I had my shot at the big arena
Fifteen minutes of fame
It came and went but I’m still a dreamer
I see no reason to change
I’m still hearin’ people talk about a brand new game
But the more it seems different the more it’s the same
CHORUS
‘Cause there ain’t nothing new (Nothing new under the sun)
No there ain’t nothing new (Nothing new under the sun)
And I’ve done about everything that can be done
But there ain’t nothing new…under the sun
I got the call…could’ve been a Survivor
But I had things to be done
I cut my hair ‘cause the fight was over
I can’t tell you who won
Now I ain’t twenty but I still got a few tricks left
Got nothing to lose if I use my gift
CHORUS
BRIDGE
I got heart…Don’t make me smart…I got needs…Everybody bleeds
I got a song…Can’t be wrong…I got love…Keeping me tough alright
Now what did we say? We tripped the light fantastic
We were just passing the torch
To a new generation that still digs classic
Play it for all that you’re worth
‘Cause it don’t really matter if you ever change anything
Just crank it up loud and let your freedom ring
CHORUS (Just do your own thing and try to have fun ‘cause…)

NOW
By Mychael John Thomas
You like to squeeze…But honey tell me why you gotta tease
There must me a good reason why
You lie while you look me in the eye
So come on baby please I wantcha
CHORUS
(now now now) You keep procrastinating
(I wantcha now now now) It's so exasperating
(I wantcha now now now) It's really aggravating
(I wantcha now now now) Just give it up!
It’s chemistry…Somethin’ not many people see
But baby I can tell you feel the vibe
‘Cause when we get together sparks fly
So bring it home to me I wantcha
CHORUS
BRIDGE
Don’t run away from me Come face to face
Circle like a satellite hangin’ out in space
Shoot me like a rocket…give it all you got
Throttle up your engine make it hot hot hot
So get right…Ain’t no sense in puttin’ up a fight
I got no time for playin’ games
I know what we want is just the same
So baby hold tight I wantcha
CHORUS

TIME
By Mychael John Thomas
You say you wanna be my friend...I think that’s nice
‘Cause my friendship runs to the soul…
if you know how to treat my love
I will give everything...And nothing ask
Except that you caress each moment we can find to share our love
But if your heart is filled with anger
And you're only gonna cause me pain well
CHORUS
I really don’t have the time…I really don’t have the time (repeat)
Before we can become friends know what you want
And every expectation you have for the future of our love
If you will give everything and nothing ask
Except that we can spend each hour now and ever sharing love
But if you’re holding off decision
And you only want me waiting till then
CHORUS
BRIDGE
One lifetime goes too fast...and shorter if you never trust
Like sand in the hourglass…time is rushing past us (SOLO)
I can tell that we’ll be friends a long while
‘Cause everything is in your eyes
You can’t disguise your eager love
So now we see it all beginning
If someone else tries to steal my moments
CHORUS(2)
I’m giving you all my time…I’m giving you all my time (repeat)

U R N MY HEART
By Mychael John Thomas
I don’t know how you make me feel
What I never have before
All I know is I like it and I want more
Circling you like a Saturn ring
You’re the center of my world
Your love like gravity holds me…It’s just absurd
What you got consumes me
It’s all right if you use me (use me)
CHORUS
U R N my heart U R N my mind tonight
U R N my heart and it feels alright
U R N my dreams Got U N my tractor beam
U R N my heart it’s meant to be
Now every time you’re touching my body
It goes right to my soul
I’ve got to have you close…It’s Rock n Roll
Ruling me with your mega-groove
And the beat just won’t let me go
You cut me up like a laser…But what a show
It’s an exhibition
I’m receiving your transmition (mission)
CHORUS
BRIDGE
I feel psychedelic…Come on baby sell it
Now we’re gonna get cosmic…Ain’t no way to stop it

SPONTANEOUS LAUGHTER
By Mychael John Thomas
I laugh at you…You laugh at me
We try to talk but we disagree
And so we dance until we see
Ha Ha Ha…Ha Ha Ha…Ha Ha Ha Ha
You laugh at me…I laugh at you
Can’t make it work…Don’t know what to do
And so we dance away our blues
Ha Ha Ha…Ha Ha Ha…Ha Ha Ha Ha
You broke my heart but I laugh it off
He broke your heart now the laugh is caught
And so we dance…Heaven help us all
Ha Ha Ha…Ha Ha Ha…Ha Ha Ha Ha

By Mychael John Thomas
Well I woke up this mornin’...

So I fumble for the bottle…Just a little taste of the blues yea

I got the roadmap eyes...an’ so many places to choose yea
I’m gonna drink a destination...
One more taste of the blues yea
BRIDGE
I’ve heard about true love I used to believe
But blues and a heartache is all that I’ve seen
‘Cause girl you found somebody with money to burn
But let me tell ya honey you’re gonna get your turn
You know I woke up this mornin’...
I’d been dreamin’ ‘bout you…Witch
So I fumble for the bottle
and have a little taste of the blues yea
SOLOS
BRIDGE
You caught me in a spell with them beautiful eyes
Enticed me with your lips then you told me some lies
But then I lost the game ‘cause the price wasn’t right
My heart’s down in a hole ain’t gon’ never see the light
I woke up this morning’ …I’d been dreamin’ ‘bout you yea
So I grab another bottle…Have a little taste of the blues yea
SOLOS
Grab another bottle…One more taste of the blues

A BEAUTIFUL FACE
(And A Stone Cold Heart)
I've spent a lifetime looking for love
But can't seem to get it right
Call me picky...Call me a chump
But I just know what I like
I can’t justify it…But whether it’s right or wrong
I got the hunger deep inside…So baby bring it on
CHORUS
I want a woman who can bring on the hurt
A bad little Diva who will treat me like dirt
Cut me into pieces and dance on every part
With a beautiful face and a stone cold heart
I’m just a bonehead music man
But I know just what I’m worth
Sometimes I’m slow but I understand
Just how the whole thing works
I’m just a sweet distraction…A boy toy she can use
It’s all about the satisfaction…It’s a game I choose
CHORUS
SOLOS
BRIDGE
(Tease me) I know you’re gonna please me
(Use me) You’re the one that woos me
(Hurt me) Don’t desert me
(Baby you’re a hot one) Glad to say I got one
CHORUS
TAG
(Beautiful face and a stone cold heart)
(Beautiful face and a…) Yea got a stone cold heart

PATTI WADE
By Mychael John Thomas
Just one night in Cleveland…But one I’ll never forget
Deep in the heart of rock n roll city…The only time we met
It changed my life forever…Maybe you never knew
But even after all this time…I still long for you
I’m still in love with you
CHORUS
Patti Wade Patti Wade…My one true love that got away
Patti Wade Patti Wade…The memory haunts me every day…Patti Wade
I didn’t get your letter…Till my chance already passed
Now all I can do is sing about you and how the feelings last
I prayed to God in Heaven…That you would come to me
For years I’ve tried to find you girl…But it wasn’t meant to be
It’s not my destiny
CHORUS
Patti Wade Patti Wade…My one true love that got away
Patti Wade Patti Wade…The memory haunts me every day
Patti Wade Patti Wade…It seemed our love was tailor made
Patti Wade Patti Wade…This melody for you I played…Patti Wade
BRIDGE
Sometimes I get to hold you in the middle of a neon dream
Till the pain of waking steals you into stark reality
And if you should ever hear this song
Know that I love you right or wrong
You will always be the star I’m hanging on
CHORUS (breakdown)
Patti Wade Patti Wade…It seemed our love was tailor made
Patti Wade Patti Wade…This melody for you I played

FOREVER LOVE
By Mychael John Thomas
My atomic clock…Will never stop
Eatin’ up my time…It’s blowin’ my mind
Every moment apart…Beats an anxious heart
Hoping you’ll say yes…I’m becoming obsessed
I need the thing that lasts
Give me your answer fast
CHORUS
(Be my forever love) Will you
(Be my forever love) Be mine
(Be my forever love tonight) Till the end of time
SOLO
Slipping through our hands…Like grains of sand
Come with me tonight…You know it feels right
Our hearts will be as one
Until forever comes

SPOTLIGHT/FINALE
By Mychael John Thomas
As I walked into the room I could feel the beat
And I thought I heard angles sing
She was out on the floor…When she looked at me
Electricity passed between
There’s a shimmering aura around us
As we’re reaching for the stars…And forever’s not so far…
CHORUS
There is a spotlight on my life
And I’m living the dream while I’m holding her tight
Tomorrow we may die…But tonight I’m alive
In the spotlight…On my life
I was searching for something all my life
I didn’t know what it was
And I think that my heart would’ve already died
If not for the flow of blood
But I instantly felt resurrected
From the moment that we touched…An illuminating rush…
CHORUS
There is a spotlight on my life
And I’m living the dream while I’m holding her tight
Tomorrow we may die…But tonight I’m alive…In the spotlight
BRIDGE
The sounds and the colors embrace one another
In a symphony of love
I’m the hero of the story…the star of the movie
That shines on everyone…And we don’t have to give up
SOLO
CHORUS
There is a spotlight on my life
And I’m living the dream while I’m holding her tight
Tomorrow we may die…But tonight I’m alive
In the spotlight…On my life
(Spotlight on my life…Spotlight on my life)
As I walked into the room I could feel the beat
