Another  Words and Music by Glen Burtnik Vocals by Glen Burtnik Just like a jaguar sun You pull me down Like panther wind You twist me around You own me hard and fast I can't keep time The guns in your eyes They level at mine In another life Would we dance again? Would we be here now and still be friends? This electric fire Would you recognize? Would I see your eyes in someone? When you look into the sky Did you buy an apparition in the night Before they fade I catch the light In another lifetime I'm drifting off the shore You pull me in The locus blooms but it's wearing thin Whoa In another life Would I speak your name? Would there be a prayer we'd meet again? In a world of glass we could hide behind Would I find you there in someone? I wanna fly into the sky I wanna fall 'til my body starts to cry Somewhere beyond the words could find In another lifetime Would you cry? Would you try? If I died in the middle of the night Would you be on the other side? Would you be...

Heart in 3 Words and Music by Glen Burtnik Vocals by Glen Burtnik Like a game of cat and mouse One pursues the other tries to hide There's a paw pushed in the knothole Grabbing at the occupants inside But it's all right I don't mind I can take my time Cause I could break your heart in three And I could shake you from your tree One could be the artist Just about the paint a masterpiece One could be the subject Slashing at the canvass in her sleep But we'll get through No matter what you do I can wait for you Cuz I could break your heart in three And I could wake you from your dream Is it hard to find? Is it just you're mine?

All That's Yet to Come Words and Music by Glen Burtnik Vocals by Glen Burtnik I can see the mountains I've had to climb And where I've started from But I can't help wondering what I'll find In all that's yet to come 'Cause the sun comes up and the days go past No matter where I run But I still can't see how the die is cast In all that's yet to come And I've studied poets and followed dreams Making a way down the road But the trail stretches out to eternity And there's no telling where it will go So I pray each day for my daily bread So many miles from home And then trying to prophesy what comes next As if I'll ever know But if I could see what was up ahead Before my time is done Would I have the wisdom to wait instead Through all that's yet to come And I've gotten high and I've laid down low Looking for holes in the wall And it reaches farther than I can go And maybe to nowhere at all And so if a wish ever came my way If I was...

Killing The Thing That You Love Written by Styx and Bob Burger Lead vocals by Glen Burtnik Listen on YouTube Brick by brick you built a mansion Piece by piece it seems you’re tearing it down Once you walked so tall and handsome Now nobody even wants you around Now you’re just some kind of leftover clown Now you’re like Quasimodo crying as you Look in the mirror At what you’ve become Killing the thing that you love Like Lennon’s assassin Lennon’s assassin Reaching for Venus De Milo But she’s never gonna hold you tight You plant plutonium silos Then you blister from the sun that’s too bright Like a vampire stepping into the light Just a victim of your own greed as you Look in the mirror At what you’ve become Killing the world that you love Like Lennon’s assassin Lennon’s assassin The genius of a generation Blown away just like a leaf on the wind And now you’re looking for salvation But you can’t forget the places you’ve been And you can’t erase a lifetime of sin And you can’t escape the ...

Roar Written by Glen Burtnik Lead Vocals by Glen Burtnik The night's cut in half by the scream of a child, The cry of a newborn, primal and wild The prince of a tribe that lives on in the blood that runs through you. In school he is taught to sit silent and dream At home he stares mute at a glare on a screen And nobody tells him that he can speak free if he wants to. Run, little brave, follow the muse. Your life is your art. Fill up your lungs, sing from the heart And roar, roar with the lions. Howl, howl at the moon. Roar with the voice of emotion. Howl the songs of the soul. The little girl makes up a song every day She sings as she rises, sings as she plays. Some things can never be taken away from the children. Her little head translating dreams into rhyme. Her heels fire rhythm, her fingers keep time. Her eyes are the light and her laugh the antennae to heaven. Learn all the rules and throw them away. Your life is your art. Take what you need and sing from the heart And roar, ...

Love Is The Ritual Written by Glen Burtnik, Plinky Lead Vocals by Glen Burtnik Little sister She got a lot of time she got a lot of money Don't you know that ain't enough Pretty thing All dressed up for the main attraction Like a baby doll looking for love And she doesn't need a reason She just hears a calling to the wild God gave man the breath of life To grow up strong to take a wife To change the world and love is the ritual You learn to walk & talk & laugh & cry Heart & soul til the day you die And above it all love is the ritual Little man Beating his chest & flexing his muscles Gun for hire, he shoots for a star Like a handsome prince Walking down the streen in his shining armor Romeo in search of his heart There's a method to this madness And a message calling to the wild God gave man the breath of life To grow up strong to take a wife To change the world and love is the ritual You learn to walk & talk & laugh & cry Work your finge...

Woman's Point of View Written by Glen Burtnick, David Prater, and Patti Maloney Lead Vocals by Glen Burtnick I play this wheel and I watch as it spins But is the game lost before it begins? Lost in a chance to win this love Lost in the rain that falls from above Down from your eyes, I feel your pain But who will stop the rain? What's a man supposed to say? What's a man supposed to do? I don't know if I can face it From a woman's point of view. You make me laugh just like a child But out with the lights and the laughter's run wild. Wish I could be who you want me to be But, baby that man is a stranger to me. Lost in your eyes, I don't understand I'm doing the best that I can. What's a man supposed to say? What's a man supposed to do? I don't know if I can face it From a woman's point of view. And I don't know if I can take it I hold you here in my arms And nothing else matters I'm holding onto a dream Till the moment it shatters. O...
