HUNGER of the HEART
by Uncle Steve

ME & BUDDY ME & BUDDY, DRIVING DOWNTOWN FOLLOWING DIRECTIONS TO THE "LOST & FOUND"... SOMEWHERE THERE'S A PARTY... SOMEWHERE THERE'S A PARTY WHERE WE'LL DO OUR PART... SOMEWHERE THERE'S A PARTY... TO SATISFY THE HUNGER & THE THIRST OF THE HEART... TO SATISFY THE HUNGER... TO SATISFY THE HUNGER & THE THIRST OF THE HEART... TO SATISFY THE HUNGER... ME & BUDDY, DRIVING ALL AROUND READING THE SIGNS, LISTENING FOR THE SOUND... SOMEWHERE THERE'S A PARTY ITS READY TO START... WE JUST CAN'T FIND IT EVEN WHERE TO PARK... ME & BUDDY, GOT IT ALL FIGURED OUT THE BABES ARE WAITING, FEAST'S LAID OUT... SOMEWHERE THERE'S A PARTY WHERE WE'LL DO OUR PART... TO SATISFY THE HUNGER & THE THIRST OF THE HEART... THE ABYSS DRIVING DOWNTOWN CRUISING A DESERT HIGHWAY... TUMBLE WEED HOMELESS CURLED UP ON THE SIDEWALK... STRIP MALLS & BILLBOARDS LIKE CACTUS & SAGEBRUSH... FAR AS THE MOUNTAINS ALONG THE HORIZON... DESERT HIGHWAY... SUN GOING DOWN... DESERT HIGHWAY... LUNAR ECLIPSE... DESERT HIGHWAY... I'M GOING DOWN.. THAT HIGHWAY... INTO THE NIGHT.. TRYING TO AVOID ARMADILLO ROADKILL... HONKING AT BUZZARDS CIRCLING OVERHEAD... COYOTE DJ HOWLING ADS & NEWS BITES... BUG MUSIC DRONING IN BETWEEN... STALKING A JAGUAR WHO'S STALKING ME... WEAVING THROUGH CANYONS OF CONCRETE & STEEL... WIND DEVIL IN THE ALLEY BLOWING GARBAGE ABOUT... CHOPPER GHOST RIDER GIVING A TRAFFIC REPORT... THIS GIFT lyric inspired by Ralph H. Blum's "The Book of Runes" WE ARE TRUE PARTNERS THOUGH SEPARATE & WHOLE... WITHOUT LOSING OURSELVES WE'VE REACHED OUR GOAL... THE WINDS OF HEAVEN DANCE BETWEEN ME & YOU... THIS GIFT OF FREEDOM DIVINE IS THE VIEW... THIS GIFT OF GRACE SOURCE OF ALL GIVING... ON THIS PATH WITH HEART IN THIS SONG WE'RE SINGING... ON THIS DAY OF SHARING THERE'S NO REASON TO CRY... AS WE GAZE AT EACH OTHER THROUGH EACH OTHER'S EYE... THE WINDS OF HEAVEN DANCE BETWEEN ME & YOU... THIS GIFT OF FREEDOM DIVINE IS THE VIEW... THIS GIFT OF GRACE SOURCE OF ALL GIVING... ON THIS PATH WITH HEART IN THIS SONG WE'RE SINGING... RACCOONS RACCOONS DANCING IN THE ATTIC... SQUIRRELS CHATTING IN THE EAVES... RATS GAMBLING IN THE BASEMENT... ROACHES' PARTIES ARE A PEEVE... NOT MY PETS... RACCOONS... RACCOONS IN THE ATTIC... RACCOONS... RACCOONS IN THE ATTIC... WEAZLS DRINKING AT THE BAR... BEARS SINGING ROCK OPERA... WOLVES PREACHING AT THE DOOR... CROWS CIRCLING OVERHEAD... CREEPED OUT, YOU BET... RACCOONS... RACCOONS IN THE ATTIC... RACCOONS... RACCOONS IN THE ATTIC... ALLIGATOR PLAYING SLIDE GUITAR... SHARK CHEWING ON HARP... MONKEY BANGING ON THE BONGOS... HUMAN BEAN ON BASS... CD'S ON THE NET... BUSINESSMAN'S LUNCH PICK UP THE PHONE... PLEASE, BE MY GUEST... MAKE A RESERVATION... AT THE PLACE YOU THINK BEST... I'VE GOT A HUNCH... YOU'VE GOT AN APPETITE... A BUSINESSMAN'S LUNCH... WOULD BE JUST ABOUT RIGHT... HUSTLING OUR BUTTS... HACKING THROUGH THE JUNGLE... WADING THROUGH SHIT... WHILE THE CRITICS WATCH US STUMBLE... WE OWE IT TO OURSELVES... TAKE OFF THE AFTERNOON... SPEND THE TIME TOGETHER... IT BETTER BE SOON... A BUSINESSMAN'S LUNCH... IT'S ONLY JUST A HUNCH... A BUSINESSMAN'S LUNCH... COULD USE A NICE MUNCH... TALK TO ME, WALK WITH ME... TELL ME ITS TIME... AT MID-DAY... SEE THE SUN SHINE... I'VE GOT A HUNCH... YOU'VE GOT AN APPETITE... A BUSINESSMAN'S LUNCH... WOULD BE JUST ABOUT RIGHT... THE BODY OF GRIEF lyric by Diana Hayes BODY OF GRIEF HAS NO SHAME... BODY OF GRIEF TEARS BACK THE SHEETS LAYS HER WEIGHT ON YOUR CHEST... BODY OF GRIEF KNOWS NO LIMITS... TAKES A BITE OUT OF YOUR HEART... IS ALL FINGERS & TEETH... BODY OF GRIEF ALWAYS TELLS THE TRUTH... WON'T LET YOU SLEEP FOR WEEKS... BODY OF GRIEF, TAKES YOUR BREATH AWAY... SPEAKS FROM THE GUT IN LOW PERSISTENT GROANS... BODY OF GRIEF IS A FIVE O'CLOCK SHADOW MAKES YOUR CHIN RAW WITH KISSING... BODY OF GRIEF WALKS IN YOUR BOOTS LICKS YOUR TOES... BODY OF GRIEF GETS IN YOUR JEANS... WON'T LEAVE YOU ALONE, FOLLOWS YOU HOME... TAKES UP THE WHOLE BED, SLEEPS WITH HER HEAD ON YOUR THIGH... FUCKS YOU IN YOUR DREAMS... FUCKS YOU... BODY OF GRIEF ROCKS YOU ON THE DANCE FLOOR... POURS ANOTHER DRINK, BODY OF GRIEF PUTS HER TONGUE IN YOUR EAR SWEATS IN YOUR EYE, STINGS... BODY OF GRIEF HAS NO SHAME... LICKS YOUR TEARS, DRINKS YOUR EYES... LEADS YOU TO WATER... MAKES YOU CRAZY WITH LIFE AGAIN... MAKES YOU CRAZY... MAKES YOU CRAZY WITH LIFE... SUBTERRANEAN CHARM lyric co-written with Mark Easton WHY DID YOU CROSS THAT ROOMFULL OF PEOPLE JUST TO FLIRT WITH ME... COULD IT BE MY CHEESY TOOTHPASTE GRIN SUPPOSED TO HIDE THE BEAST... OR, PILES OF CASH I GOT STASHED AWAY IN MY FILTHY WALK-IN CLOSET?... RACKED MY BRAIN DROVE ME INSANE SENT ME TO THE FUNNY FARM... I MAY BE DENSE ONLY THING MAKES SENSE IS MY SUBTERRANEAN CHARM... WHY DID MY HEART MELT INTO CHICKEN SOUP AS MY TONGUE TIED SAILOR KNOTS... COULD IT BE YR WILD HURRICANE HAIR YR STYLISH SENSIBLE SHOES... OR, FALLING INTO YR TWINKLY EYES AS YOU DANCED INTO MY LIFE?... RACKED MY BRAIN TILL IT CAUSED ME PAIN WHY YOU WOKE UP IN MY ARMS... IN MY DEFENSE ONLY THING MAKES SENSE IS YR SUBTERRANEAN CHARM... COME ON lyric co-written with Ann Lindberg HERE YOU COME AGAIN... DOWN THE STREET TOWARDS ME... BABY, YOU ARE SO FINE... WIND DANCING IN YR HAIR... SUN SMILING ON YR FACE... WANT TO MAKE YOU MINE..

BIRDS SING IN THE SKY... I'M GLAD YR MINE... COME ON, BABY... COME ON, BABY, LET'S TWIST... COME ON, BABY... SHAKE ALL OVER THIS... REFUGEE HIGHWAY DREAMING OF A DREAM SHELTER FROM THE STORMING... STURDY GROVE OF TREES BIRDS CHIRPING IN THE MORNING... SHUTOUT THE HORROR EXPLODING NIGHTMARE OVERHEAD... SUDDEN BLASTS OF GUNFIRE NEWBORN ORPHANS IN THEIR BED... REFUGEE HIGHWAY... REFUGEE HIGHWAY... WIDOWS FLEE WITH OTHER STRANGERS SURVIVORS TAKE WHAT CAN BE CARRIED... AVOID THE SOLDIERS, BRIBE THE SMUGGLERS HOMES & BELONGINGS NOW ALL BURIED... REFUGEE HIGHWAY... SEARCHING FOR THIS NIGHT TO END LEANING WEARY TO THE LIGHT OF DAY... SEEMS HALF THE WORLD IS STRUGGLING DOWN THIS REFUGEE HIGHWAY... REFUGEE HIGHWAY... COCONUTS TILL ALL SAD SONGS ARE SUNG CLOWNS ALL LAUGH TILL WE'RE FREE... BIRDS FREEZE FROM FEAR OF FLYING FISH FORGET HOW TO SWIM IN THE SEA... PUT YRSELF TO IT... YR HEART & YR SOUL... TILL COCONUTS FALL OFF THE TREE... TILL SOLDIERS ARE ALL WREATHED IN GLORY TERRORISTS HAVE ALL SOLD THEIR STORY... POLITICIANS ALL LIVE UP TO THEIR PRESS HOMELESS HAVE ALL BECOME HOMEY... PUT YRSELF TO IT... YR HEART & YR SOUL... TILL COCONUTS FALL OFF THE TREE... WHEN YOU PUT YR ARMS AROUND ME DANCING A TORRID FANDANGO... CHERISH THE MOMENT OF BLISS IN A KISS & WILD MONKEY LOVE ALL A TANGO... PUT YRSELF TO IT... YR HEART & YR SOUL... TILL COCONUTS FALL OFF THE TREE...
