Under the Bridge

Red Hot Chili Peppers

Songwriters: Anthony Kiedis / Michael Balzary / John Anthony Frusciante / Chad Smith

Sometimes I feel
Like I don't have a partner
Sometimes I feel
Like my only friend
Is the city I live in
The city of angels
Lonely as I am
Together we cry

I drive on her streets
'Cause she's my companion
I walk through her hills
'Cause she knows who I am
She sees my good deeds
And she kisses me windy
I never worry
Now that is a lie

I don't ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way
I don't ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way (yeah yeah)

It's hard to believe
That there's nobody out there
It's hard to believe
That I'm all alone
At least I have her love
The city she loves me
Lonely as I am
Together we cry

I don't ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way
I don't ever want to feel
Like I did that day
Take me to the place I love
Take me all the way (yeah yeah)
Ooh no (no no yeah yeah)
Love me I say yeah yeah

Under the bridge downtown
Is were I drew some blood
Under the bridge downtown
I could not get enough
Under the bridge downtown
Forgot about my love
Under the bridge downtown
I gave my life away (yeah yeah)
Ooh no (no no yeah yeah)
Here I stay yeah yeah

Here I stay

Abracadabra

Songwriters: Steve Miller

I heat up, I can't cool down
You got me spinning
'Round and 'round
'Round and 'round and 'round it goes
Where it stops nobody knows

Every time you call my name
I heat up like a burning flame
Burning flame full of desire
Kiss me baby, let the fire get higher

Abra abracadabra
I wanna reach out and grab ya
Abracadabra
Abracadabra

You make me hot, you make me sigh
You make me laugh, you make me cry
Keep me burning for your love
With the touch of a velvet glove

Abra abracadabra
I wanna reach out and grab ya
Abracadabra
Abracadabra

I feel the magic in your caress
I feel magic when I touch your dress
Silk and satin, leather and lace
Black panties with an angel's face

I see magic in your eyes
I hear the magic in your sighs
Just when I think I'm gonna get away
I hear those words that you always say

Abra abracadabra
I wanna reach out and grab ya
Abracadabra
Abracadabra

Every time you call my name
I heat up like a burning flame
Burning flame full of desire
Kiss me baby, let the fire get higher

I heat up, I can't cool down
My situation goes 'round and 'round
I heat up, I can't cool down
My situation goes 'round and 'round
I heat up, I can't cool down
My situation goes 'round and 'round

Trouble

Songwriters: Jan Buckingham

Two, ah-three, ah-four!
Two, ah-three, ah-four!
Two, ah-three, ah-four!

I really should be saying goodnight.
I really shouldn't stay anymore.
It's been so long since I held ya.
I've forgotten what love is for.

I should run on the double
I think I'm in trouble,
I think I'm in trouble.

So come to me darlin' and hold me
Let your honey keep you warm
Been so long since I held ya
I've forgotten what love is for.

I should run on the double
I think I'm in trouble.

Dennis DeYoung- Desert Moon

  前Styx合唱團主唱鍵琴手Dennis DeYoung即將推出的專輯﹤26 East, Vol. 1﹥的內容在他的臉書揭露了，DeYoung的唱片公司Frontiers Music也公開了這張專輯的封面圖片、歌單及發片日期，即四月10日。

  ﹤26 East, Vol. 1﹥有10首歌，包括之前宣告的"To the Good Old Days"，這首歌是為已故披頭合唱團the Beatles團員John Lennon的兒子 Julian所寫，也邀請他一起演唱，這張專輯有CD、唱片和數位網路下載版，Frontiers Music承諾在未來的幾週將給歌迷初嚐，意思是會有試聽安排。

DeYoung於去年底在他的官網強調，這張專輯的封面以三個火車頭穿越時空代表Styx合唱團的原始團員離開芝加哥踏上成名之路，他也提到26 East在他童年芝加哥故居地址的附近，他和John 與Chuck Panozzo攣生兄弟三個人在那裏組成Styx合唱團。

  DeYoung還講到本來想把這張專輯做為告別歌壇之作，但是因為寫了太多歌，唱片公司執行長建議出二張專輯，所以專輯叫  ﹤26 East, Vol. 1﹥。

  此外Dennis說有五首﹤26 East, Vol. 1﹥中的歌是他和長期合作夥伴Jim Peterik,一起寫的，Jim也擔任過Ides of March (2/70 Vehicle)與 Survivor合唱團的主唱與鍵琴手。

  Styx合唱團在歷年暢銷歌星與合唱團排行榜獲得第156名，在Billboard Hot 100單曲榜名次最好的歌是1979年的二週冠軍曲Babe，1983年的Mr.Roboto 則在Cash Box排行榜獲得冠軍。

  Dennis DeYoung於1984年離開Styx從事個人的歌唱事業，他動聽的抒情曲 Desert Moon當年底曾獲得第10名。

Desert Moon

Songwriters: Dennis De Young

"Is this the train to Desert Moon?" was all she said
But I knew I'd heard that stranger's voice before.
I turned to look into her eyes, but she moved away
She was standing in the rain

Trying hard to speak my name
They say first love never runs dry
The waiter poured our memories in a tiny cup
We stumbled over words we longed to hear
We talked about the dreams we'd lost, or given up
When the whistle caught the night

And ssilence from my life
As the last train rolled toward the moon
Those summer nights
When we were young
We bragged of things
We'd never done
We were dreamers, only dreamers
And in our haste
To grow up too soon
We left our innocence on Desert Moon
We were dreamers, only dreamers
On Desert Moon
On Desert Moon

On Desert Moon
Desert Moon
I still can hear the whisper of the summer nights
It echoes in the corners of my heart
The night is true and waiting for the desert train
All the words we meant to say

All the chances swept away
Still remain on the road to undo
Those summer nights, when we were young
We bragged of things we'd never done
We were dreamers, only dreamers
Moments pass, and time moves on

But dreams remain for just as long as there's dreamers
All the dreamers
On Desert Moon
On Desert Moon
On Desert Moon
Desert Moon
