G'morning friend, I'm finally wide awake
I took a nose dive, now I'm in great shape
Missed the last ten years, I've been in bed
till the heroes sparked inside my head
what has changed, now tell me, who's the chief?
do you still put two shoes on your feet?
you remember all those melodies?
tell me that their real and not just memories
now I feel alive
looking back I could have been more strong
Those boys, could not have been more wrong
when I smile always think of us,
how you gave me the strength to stand right up
and ride the wave
Together we are really great
and every night
I sing for you
Yes i think that it is plain to see
as a team we would not see defeat
come along lets dig in through the sand
We’ll succeed together hand in hand

St. Peter & Bourbon
Lighting a smoke,
she starts to smile,
she loves the way her city looks at night
she's the type of girl
whose gifts are known
everything around her gives an azure glow
Give her one more try
Catching her eye,
he looks and sighs,
he knows not what her expressions may show
wonder what clues
she leaves behind?
observation has the risk of running dry
Give her one more try
nodding at her
she waves goodbye
just another second’s all he needs
Can't you see?
They really weren't meant to be
Back at her seat
Her man inquires
what took so long for you to step aside?
Nothing is wrong
a pause and sigh
she wonders of a life without her guy

The Demon of Frenchmen Street
Verse 1
Anne Marie was walking down the streets of New Orleans
About the age of 23, pretty as can be
The night was dark, not a light was shinin’ ‘cept her cigarette’s subtle glow
When through the black a foul figure attacked and struck a fatal blow
Chorus
“The Demon of Frenchmen Street has claimed another life”
Rang the cry of the paperboy, upon the morning’s light
“Four before and one today,” the citizens all cried
“So board up your window panes and don’t walk out at night.”
Verse 2
Detective Jones wiped off his brow, looked on the grisly scene
At the girl whose name was Anne Marie, the age of 23
Figure chalk on the cold boardwalk, azure rose in her hands
A matching clue of the spectrum hue, The Demon’s evil brand
Interlude
Oo la la la
Oo la la la
Where is he, Detective Jones?
Who is he, Detective Jones?
Oo la la la
Oo la la la
Where is he, Detective Jones?
Who is he, Detective Jones?
{Guitar Solo}
Verse 3
Royal Jones had never known a villain he couldn’t catch
But with the Demon of Frenchmen Street, Ol’ Jones had met his match
The greatest mind the world had ever seen, IQ 185
Apathy corrupting everything, he finally felt alive
Chorus
“The Demon of Frenchmen Street extends his evil crimes
Another corpse found by the force along the crescent line
The Creole authorities are desperate in their plight
To end the pain of the Demon’s reign, this foe shall do his time”
Verse 4
Emily laid down the news, thought on what she had read
In black and white a pattern came to light: the law had been misled
She met with Jones, told him all she knew “The fiend has played the friend
Within our midst the foul killer exists, we’ll finally bring his end”
Final Chorus
“Innocence, a melody, you sing so pure and fine”
The manic tone of Detective Jones filled Emily up with fright
“A violet rose for you my dear, death brought by your insight,”
In her ear the final words she’d hear, Jones whispered with a smile:
“The Demon of Frenchmen Street is me”

Courtyard
A pastoral sound convinced of a crime
Tearing away down
Central Boulevard
A cusp of the great
one, hand held high
Motion towards the
past, sight unseen
The effervescent
sound multiplies infinitely
Brace this, brace
this and run
collapse between
the choice of a lifetime
Enter the stream of
love’s embrace
Brace this, brace
this and run
Parrying forth,
light unto death
Staying the time of
need, against the rain
Marry the ones, who
told the story
Tales of yore,
foretold with a smile
A longing unto
terror calls a purpose to his name
Brace this, brace
this and run
collapse between
the choice of a lifetime
Enter the
stream of love’s embrace
Brace this, brace
this and run
Growing thunderous,
chin up high
sifting the sun
before, the wake of an age
Carry forth,
the child is born
Cast your doubt,
the need has come and gone
A single shaded
lamp post light reveals a distant scream
Brace this, brace
this and run
collapse between
the choice of a lifetime
Enter the stream of
love’s embrace
Brace this, brace
this and run
