Lyrics
Love is everywhere, but it's hard to find.
As I Run © Mike Rocket Music As I run, I walk through the places of my childhood As I run, I ride past faces of my old neighborhood I see a boy on a bike attempting a hill on the side of a street Through the steam of an ice cream truck in the hot summer heat There’s a vapor from a plane, in a clear blue sky |
|
Stars and stripes in the wind at a school passing by
A 20 minute run’s like reliving 20 years. The current beam of sun was exactly as it appears The dream of the run more truthful than the one asleep A feeling a youthful fun we’ve always got to keep, as we run….
As I run, I walk through the places of my childhood As I run I fly into places of my old neighborhood As I run, I walk through the places of my childhood As I run, I glide past faces of my old neighborhood
An abandoned bus schedule, wrinkled on the sidewalk by a A car seat left by trash on the lawn, a cat crawling through the window A girl I passed by with head phones on has the scent of my neighbor’s sister The sound of a motorcycle like the one of a boyfriend of a babysitter
A 20 minute run’s like reliving 20 years. The current beam of sun was exactly as it appears. The dream of the run more truthful than the one asleep A feeling a youthful fun we’ve always got to keep, as we run….
There’s a park with kids swinging for the fence or reaching for the rim A bird in a tree chirping on a limb The dog down the street still looks the same He’s only got a different name
A 20 minute run’s like reliving 20 years. The current beam of sun was exactly as it appears. The dream of the run more truthful than the one asleep A feeling a youthful fun we’ve always got to keep, as we run….
As I run, I walk through the places of my childhood As I run, I crawl back to places of my old neighborhood As I run, I walk through the places of my childhood As I run, I ride past faces of my old neighborhood

GOTTA GET TO THE JERSEY SHORE (C) Mike Rocket Music & Victor Cornette Behind miles of cars in traffic/ on a summer afternoon We've gotta get to the Jersey shore, Find what we're looking for We've gotta get to the Jersey shore, Find what we're looking for We've gotta get to the Jersey shore, Find what we're looking for We've gotta get to the Jersey shore, Find what we're looking for April and Angela (Two Girls In America) © Mike Rocket Music Not ordinary girls in bars/ A lot more like movie stars. (chorus) April and Angela, Two girls in America/ April and Angela, Two girls in America/ Two girls looking for love, searching for the perfect love/ Looking for the perfect guy, searching for the perfect guy. Blond hair, sunglasses/ Counting on those backstage passes. Everything from head to toe/ Can't be the average Joe. Brown Eyes, Blue Eyes. Always hoping for a surprise. Music, dancing, going out. Two girls we're singing about. Chorus Romance, red carpet treatment/ Penthouse, city apartment. Walks on beaches during high tides/ Summer parties, convertible rides. Brown Eyes, Blue Eyes. Always hoping for a surprise. Music, dancing, going out. Two girls we're Chorus To See Her © Mike Rocket Music Met her at a show on a hot, dry day/ In New Mexico, outside Santa Fe/ Those dark brown eyes and hair blew me away/ Chorus: I'm going back today to see her/ I'm packin' my bags and I'm heading to see her/ In my car, in my truck,
You like what you see in me, even though it reminds you of him/ Love "Racing in the Street", "Drive all Night", & "For You" I would/ Your name is Meredith though you prefer Missy/ So Missy are you the Princess of New Jersey/ You were
Farewell, Ed Sciaky © Mike Rocket Music Facing the mic in the studio / Launchin' your voice on the radio/ In your concert t-shirt in your record library/ Loving father and husband of Monica and Judy/ From exit eight down to Delaware/ Your music enthralled many, cascading through the air/ We'll be thinking of you when we hear "Jungleland" or "Movin' Out"/ Your spirit will strike our souls when we hear "Incident" or "Roundabout"/ (chorus) This is for you, Ed Sciaky/ You were truly the last disc jockey (Thanks for playin' my songs for me)/ Farewell to you, Ed Sciaky/ You were the radio king of Philly You helped make monumental stars of Bruce, Jackson, Yes, and Billy/ Broadcasting those legendary shows at the Main Point in 1973/ You played all those unaccustomed, eminent songs other DJs wouldn't play/ Billy Joel said you were "truly the last DJ" (chorus) Projecting your insight from Independence Hall or from the Main Line/ From Temple, 93, 94, 102, or 102.9/ Hosting your show with "The Boss" on a Sunday or Saturday/ Countless great songs,guests, interviews on your "Classic Cafe" (chorus)  The Time Has Reached The Future (The World On The Internet) © 1999-2002 Mike Rocket
She faxed me a good-bye/ From the car, I called and asked, "Why?"/ My email said, "I need company- always need a lady to be with me."/ Another year old, still not sold/ In a stalemate here, in a world of fear/ But now I'm finished up with school/ You know everything should be cool/
The time has reached the future/ There's no doubt about that/ Fax machines and cellular phones/ The world on the Internet
Like a president without a first lady/ He, too, can't be alone/ And a first lady wants to take over, try to make us all her own/ Experiments on Mars and a space station/ movies in cars, but can we take care of our nation/ And with the world what's still wrong?/ Why can't we all just get along?
The time has reached the future/ There's no doubt about that/ Sex pills, hair pills, and laser perfect vision/ The world on the Internet/ The time has reached the future/ There's no doubt about that/ From caller ID to replay TV/ The world on the Internet
Wars, diseases, and disasters never slow/ Whether the Middle East, India, or Kosovo/ Either a virus on the computer or in Africa/ workers and students killing each other here in America/ And toxic fuels keep on fillin' up the world, like a hot-air balloon/ The ozone's getting thinner/ It's gonna burst all too soon
The time has reached the future/ There's no doubt about that/ You can be a survivor or a millionaire/ The world on the Internet/ The time has reached the future/ There's no doubt about that/ Digital cameras and mp3s/ The world on the Internet
There's too much stress on succeeding/ But not enough on living/ Before you surf across the world tonight on your computer/ Just don't forget to email your neighbor/
The time has reached the future/ There's no doubt about that/ EBay ETrade and Ezpass/ The world on the Internet/ The time has reached the future/ There's no doubt about that/ HMOs and perfection pills/ The world on the Internet/ The time has reached the future/ There's no doubt about that/ DNA technology and cloning/ The world on the Internet/ the time has reached the future/ There's no doubt about that/ Instant, direct, dot com/ .... The world on the Internet
