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 CHORUS © 1983/2013 Mychael John Thomas

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…) © 2013 Mychael John Thomas

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 ©2009 Mychael John Thomas

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) ©1983/2008/2014 Mychael John Thomas

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 CHORUS ©2013 Mychael John Thomas BMI

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 © 2013 Mychael John Thomas

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 (Beautiful face and a stone cold heart) (Beautiful face and a stone cold heart) SOLO BRIDGE © 2013 Mychael John Thomas

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 FINALE - Instrumental ©2013 Mychael John Thomas BMI
