This hot night wind is mine, I know
This gust of love ain't no liar
Steamed up, blown up, stoked from below
I'm a ready to cook with fire
She cattin' around to catch you, man
And butters you up to buy her
Darling, she's just a flash in the pan.
Don't you want to cook with fire?
I'm talkin' 'bout kickin' the role
I want to give you whole thing
Yes, she gonna burn ya
She gonna make you a fool
But it'll learn ya
Way, way better than school
That I got a soul that's got a spark
Oh, yeah, holdin' a real hot wire
You got a hungry flame in the dark
And Lord, we gonna cook it with fire
That I got a soul that's got a spark
Oh, yeah, holdin' a real hot wire
You got a hungry flame in the dark
And Lord, we gonna cook it with fire

Inside out again
I had to spread it a little thin
I work and work and try
And try
And try and try to shine
That's fine but
It's high time
Break and take the freedom
My time
To live like I feel
To let down and let myself be
It's high time for me
High time for me
High time for me
Darling look at you
I can see what you been through
You been bought and sold
And pushed and rolled
And rolled
And rolled gets old
But it's high time
Break and take the freedom
Your time to leave like you feel
So get up, you know what to do
It's high time for you
High time for you
High time for you too
I know you know
All about a fool
Who is where and where is
What is cool to you
I'll go underground
With the ones I've found
Put your ear down
You can feel us shake
Way down way down
We're making a break
Making a break
Our ship is in
You know it is
It is high time
It's high time
Don't we feel fine tonight
We got the fire hot alright
The feeling is clear
You better be aware
It's here
It's all here
And it's high time
Break and take the freedom
Our time
To live as we feel
So come on feel the buzz
It's high time for us
High time for us
. . .

I just found out
It's been too long now
The word is out
Time before didn't they take us hook and punker?
Their "jive alive" lines
They were funk
They were hijinx, hijinx, hijinx tonight
We all know better but we just might
Pullin' this off it's gonna take some
Big time schemin'
A fast tap dance, our feet'll be steamin'
Hijinx, hijinx, hijinx, alright
Hi, hi, hijinx, yeah, yeah
You never know, behind the lines
Who's gonna show
Scandal high's been buzzin' through the mayhem
Tonight the word, we heard is
It might be them.
They were hijinx, hijinx, hijinx tonight
They all know better, but we just might
Pullin this off, it's gonna take some
Big time schemin'
A fast tap dance, our feet'll be steamin'
Hijinx, hijinx, hijinx, alright
Hi, hi, hijinx yeah, yeah
Who's who?
Who's who?
Hi, hi, hijinx, yeah, yeah, yeah
Who's who?

Quite some time, I been sittin' it out
Didn't take no chances
I was a pris'ner of doubt.
I knocked down the wailin' wall
Ain't no sin
Got the feel of fortune; deal me in
Comin' straight on for you. You made my mind.
Now I'm stronger. Now I'm comin' through
Straight on, straight on for you
Straight on for you.
Now I know I got to play my hand
What the winner don't know, a gambler understands
My heart keeps playin' it through
with you, my friend
I'll take my chances on you again and again
Comin' straight on for you. You made my mind
Now I'm stronger. Now I'm comin' through
Straight on, straight on for you
. . .

There I was with the old man
Stranded again so off I'd ran
A young world crashing around me
No possibilities of getting what I need
He looked at me and smiled
Said "No, no, no, no, no child.
See the dog and butterfly. Up in the
Air he like to fly." Dog and butterfly
Below she had to try. She roll back down
To the warm soft ground laughing
She don't know why, she don't know why
Dog and butterfly
Well I stumbled upon your secret place
Safe in the trees you had tears on your face
Wrestling with your desires frozen strangers
Stealing your fires. The message hit my mind
Only words that I could find
See the dog and butterfly
Up in the air he like to fly
Dog and butterfly below she had to try
She roll back down to the warm soft ground
Laughing to the sky, up to the sky
Dog and butterfly
We're getting older the world's getting colder
For the life of me I don't know the reason why
Maybe it's livin' making us give in
Hearts rolling in taken back on the tide
We're balanced together ocean upon the sky
Another night in this strange town
Moonlight holding me light as down
Voice of confusion inside of me
No begging to go back where I'm free
Feels like I'm through
Then the old man's words are true
See the dog and butterfly
Up in the air he like to fly
Dog and butterfly, below she had to try
She roll back down to the warm soft
Ground with a little tear in her eye
She had to try, she had to try
. . .

Look at me, the answer is so clear
Lying close by the fire place
I wish that you could see yourself this way
My love, with the firelight upon your face.
Ain't it strange how love put things together?
One like you, someone like me.
But no one ever moved me like the way you do
And held against you, love I am weak, oh yeah
Before us now, the dream of love is playin'
A butterfly risin' from the flame
You and me don't need no chain
Since this feeling came to us
A touch of love, a lighter touch
This touch of love, this lighter touch,
Than hands of love through time
Reaching up to have and to hold you
But you know I'll always stay If I
Am free to go. You know I'll take
Your love into my soul. Be lighter
Touch of love this lighter, lighter
. . .

Fire eye flashin' bright
Come again into my dream tonight
Don't fade away when the mornin' comes
Fadin' in the sun
Nada One, Nada One
Moonshone silver in your eye
Shown on my midnight blues from the sky
Paint the night with love till the burnin' sun
See the colors run
Nada One, Nada One
Mornin' come down on me
Wanderin' through the endless street
Nobody seein' where I've been
Nobody feels what I've done
Nada One, Nada One
Look inside I find
Your song flows around my mind
You are as real as I feel
You are the moon in my sun
. . .

No wind when I took the watch
My ship was still and waitin'
I lay on that mirrored sky
A restless sail or waitin'
I closed my eyes said the
Words of will for the gentle
Breathin' that moves the seas
Make my sails fill
Whisper waves cloud the glass
Awake at last like a lover
It rushed around the talkin' sweet
Roll over, roll over, roll over
And in my ear he blew his name
It sound so strange but I heard it plain
Mistral Mistral wind
I have always held the wheel but
I let the wind steal my power
Spin me 'round lose my course
Nights run be like hours
Well, it would show me the way
To the deepest mountains
Too high and beautiful to be
Mistral, mistral wind
All the hours on the watch
I wait for that breeze to move me
And blow me back to that place
Magic space all through me
And I sigh your name
Across the empty water
You made a crazy dreamer out of me
Mistral, mistral, mistral, mistral,
. . .
