Into The Now (Tesla)

Into the Now

The future’s on it’s way, the past is gone
Old and rusted, with your busted bones
Break the crystal ball, you’re on your own
Wipe away the fear of the unknown

Now, here we go, on with the show
Makin’ our way, just living for today
It’s in my sight, and the time is right
For takin’ a bow, into the now

Guilty of communication crimes
Was it just a binge, or was I blind
Overcoming opened up my mind
Don’t let the things from the past eat you up inside

Now, here we go, on with the show
Makin’ our way, just living for today
It’s in my sight, and the time is right
For takin’ a bow, into the now

Is it love that you break, or is it love that you make
Is it love we’re breaking, love we’re making, or love just wasting time

Now, here we go, and it’s on with the show
Makin’ our way, just living for today
It’s in my sight, and the time is right
For takin’ a bow, into the now
Now, here we go, on with the show
Makin’ our way, just living for today
It’s in my sight, and the time is right
For takin’ a bow, into the now

Games People Play (Tesla)

GAMES PEOPLE PLAY (Joe South)

All the games people play now, every night every day now

Never meaning what they say now, never saying what they mean

While they while away the hours in their ivory towers

Till they’re covered up with flowers in the back of a black limousine

Oh we make one another cry, breakin’ hearts when we say goodbye

Cross our hearts and we hope to die, except the other was to blame

Either one will ever kill it, so we gaze and we make pretend

Thinkin’ ‘bout things that might have been, oh it’s a dirty rotten shame

 Chorus:

Ladandaladandadada, ladandaladandadadee

Talkin’ ‘bout you and me, and the games people play

Ladandaladandadada, ladandaladandadadee

Talkin’ ‘bout you and me, and the games people play

People walkin’ up to ya, singin’ glory hallelujah

Sayin’ what the hell’s it to ya, if we do it in the name of the Lord

We’re gonna teach ya how to meditate

[Preach our hearts from teacher’s faith]

Put them on a hell of hate, come on, let’s get on board

(chorus)

(Solo)

Look around, tell me what you see, what’s happening to you and me

Got burning my serenity, to the neighborhood at hand

‘Cos you’re givin’ up your sanity, or your pride and your vanity

Turn your back on humanity, ow, when you don’t give a damn, not a damn

Ladandaladandadada, ladandaladandadadee

Talkin’ ‘bout you and me, and the games people play

Ladandaladandadada, ladandaladandadadee

Talkin’ ‘bout everybody, talkin’ ‘bout you, ‘bout you and me

(Ladandaladandadada) you and me, (ladandaladandadadee)

I’m talkin’ bout the games, the games we all play

(Ladandaladandadada) ladanda, (ladandaladandadadee) ladandadadee

All the games, talkin’ bout the games people play

(Ladandaladandadada, ladandaladandadadee)

(Ladandaladandadada, ladandaladandadadee)

(Ladandaladandadada, ladandaladandadadee)

Wonderful World (Tesla)

WONDERFUL WORLD (Keith, Hannon, Skeoch)

Ever since Chicken Little said, the sky was fallin’ down upon his head

I told myself, what a wonderful world

Climb a tree, headin’ straight to the pond

Get some pearly walks before they turn to frogs

I told myself, what a wonderful world

Puppy love are behind the law, before you know it it’s a big old dog

Left so suddenly, where’s that wonderful world?

Just a kid growin’ up on a farm, hardly knew what was right from wrong

It’s a jungle in this wonderful world

Ever since Johnny went to Nam, he loves his men the way he loves [his arm]

I convinced myself, it’s an ugly old world

But seein’ school, I was just a kid, someone had to go and shoot the president

He wasn’t sleeping when he’s going to bed, so they said, so now he’s dead

Didn’t know much but I knew it wasn’t funny

Everybody’s crying like they killed the Easter bunny

Nothing changes, never changes, killing in vain

Tell me what it’s coming to, tell me what well we ain’t gonna do

If it stays like this we’ll have nothing left to lose

Saw a picture and it ain’t so pretty, from the West Coast to New York City

I’ve seen the world, it’s such a pity, we’ll be here on our own

Ever since Chicken Little said, "Humpty Dumpty fell and broke his head"

I told myself, what a wonderful world

Ever since mom she reveal, the tooth ferry nor Santa Claus is real

May be so, mama, it’s still a wonderful world

That may be so, mama, still it’s a wonderful world

Rubberband (Tesla)

RUBBERBAND (Keith, Hannon, Wheat)

You should never take more than you can lend

Unless you wanna break you’re gonna have to bend

Keep your mind at ease, your heart close at hand

The more you realize and the more you seem to understand

Ooh, will there be love to be made

Ooh, isn’t it left anyway

I thought you was dyin’ to love me, not to love on a shelf

Before you hurt somebody else you’ve got to help yourself

Ooh, are you ready today, you’d better be, ‘cos there’s hell to pay

 Chorus:

All the lightning and thunder - out of hand

Ready or not, now tell me what’s your plan

It gets to be all you can stand - rubberband

You got the [feels like] like a rubberband

I thought what was easy, well it turned into hell

Before I please somebody else I’ve got to please myself

I said ooh, is this a game that you play, it might as well be anyway

(chorus)

(Solo)

All the lightning and thunder - out of hand

Ready or not, now tell me what’s your plan

It gets to be all you can stand - rubberband

Just lay back just like a rubberband

Ready or not - what’s your plan

Tell me what is your interest, show me where you stand

You’re my release, your heart close at hand - rubberband

Bounce back just like a rubberband man

Rubberband, rubberband, rubberband, rubberband, rubberband

You got to bounce back, snap back, to the mouth if you can

Like a rubberband man

Alot To Lose (Tesla)

ALOT TO LOSE

I thought I saw the light, was it real or something I’m imagining

I thought I saw the light, if it was then tell me, did you see it too

Did you see the light, if you did now tell me, could you feel it too

Hey I saw the light, yeah tell me that you saw the light

I don’t know why I even do it, all I know is I’m so glad

We always make it through it, one way or another

We’re gonna make it or break

I got alot of love for you, I guess that means I got alot to lose

I got alot of love for you and only you

I don’t know how we even do it, all I know is I’m so glad

We always make it through it, one more time now baby

Got me two times a wife, just like my mother

She’s there to love and understand

Got me two times a wife, she really does have a touch just like no other hands

The sparkle in my eye, too many times I left her there alone at night

The way you light up my life, yeah your love is two times as nice

I don’t know how we make it through it, all I know is I’m so glad

We always seem to do it, one way or another

We’re gonna make it or break

I got alot of love for you, I guess that means I got alot to lose

I got alot of love for you and only you

I got alot of love for you, I do, and that’s the way it should be

I don’t know why we even do it, all I know is I’m so glad

We always make it through it, one more time now friend

(Solo)

I got alot of love for you, I guess that means I got alot to lose

I got alot of love for you and only you and nobody else but you

I got alot of love for you, I guess that means I got alot to lose

I got alot of love for you and only you and no one else but you my friend

Oh, nobody else but you my friend

(I got a lot of love for you) I got a lot, I got a lot, a lot of love for you

(I got a lot of love for you) I do, oh I feel I got a lot to lose
