Riviera
03:24
|

(lyrics & music by Brian Kious)
Let the records play
Watch the curtains sway
As side by side we lay
In this hotel bed
And now we're going down
Down to Marseilles Town
Yeah, we'll do the town
Until the moon goes down
Whoa, can't we stay
We've got all day
Let's go out and play
Honey we're on our way
And now we're holding hands
Walk along the strands
Walking on the sands of
The Mediterranean
Whoa, can't we stay
We've got all day
Let's go out and play
Honey we're on our way
And it goes like this
Oh, play it honey
Whoa, can't we stay
We've got all day
Let's go out and play
Honey we're on our way
Yeah
And now we're on the plane
HEY WHAT'S THAT
I can see the Seine
We've got to be insane to want to
Go back to America
But there we'll meet your folks
We'll tell 'em Riviera jokes
THEY WON'T GET IT
As we carry our yokes of luggage
Back home to stay
Whoa, can't we stay
We've got all day
Let's go out and play
Honey we're on our way

Smoking
04:37
|

(Lyrics by Brian Kious. Music by Brian Kious and Nil DeSilva)
I hope you’ve been smoking, too
And maybe your night’s getting darker
One or two hours slip away
Just around the corner to the light of day
I hope you’ve been smoking, too
I hope we can work it through
And maybe we’ll last a little longer
With that bluejean baby queen
Prettiest woman we’ve ever seen
I hope you’ve been smoking, too
Living a lie, nobody cries
Living a lie, nobody dies
Living a lie, nobody cries
Live in and lie, nobody dies
Hang on to your bastard tunes
And bow to the will of your master
Fall on your knees to make me stand
Never let me fall into the other’s hands
I hope you’ve been smoking, too
Living a lie, nobody cries
Living a lie, nobody dies
Living a lie, nobody cries
Live in and lie, nobody dies
You don’t need to tell me true
At night you’re another man’s comfort
With your mountains high and your valley low
You like to talk about them but you never show me
I hope you’ve been smoking, too
I hope you’ve been smoking, too
I hope you’ve been smoking, too

Ten Dollar Blues
05:04
|
|||
(Lyrics and music by N. Kladky)
Woke up this morning
Wishin' I had a ten dollar bill
I said I woke up this morning
Wishin' I had a ten dollar bill
If I only had a tenner
Wouldn't be feelin' so bad
You know It's got me down
You know it's really got me sad
I tell you, it's got me feelin' down
You know it's really got me sad
You know, even if I had a fiver
You know I wouldn't feel so bad
I woke up this morning
You know I woke up this morning
Just wishin', just wishin', just wishin'
I had a ten dollar bill
You know even if I had a fiver....

Come On Over
03:20
|
|||
(Lyrics and music by K. Hartman)
Maybe someday
Maybe never at all
You would come on over
You would give me a call
Come on over
Come on over
I'd sure love to see you
If you could find the time
We'll talk in conversations
Try to make it rhyme
Come on over
Come on over
Come on over
Come on over
It never seems right
Never seems to work out right
Right
Right
Come on over
Come on over
Come on over
Come on over
It never seems right
Never seems to work out right
Right
Right
Play those old time records
Lying on the shelf
Next to your sunshine roses
And your holy Tibetan bells
Come on over
Come on over
Come on over
Come on over

Fire
05:27
|
|||
(Lyrics & music by Brian Kious)
Written myself into a corner
Three’s not a crowd when one’s a performer
I have dreams of scotch-filled days
And hope you’re watching from afar
While I spin my yarns about a vandal’s heart
Shooting the stars
Coming around, never been better
Under the ground and over the weather
And when I go walking, hear the wise men talking
At the sky
The message moves me and the cadence grooves me
‘Til I’m high
Never gonna quench
Never gonna quench my desire
Come on let me in
Come on let me in
Build the fire
Fire
Heaven and hell and fantasy faded
Eyes on the clock for visions I traded
And the golden sun that shines on
Everybody else but me
Makes me hammer down my dreams
And kill the thoughts of used to be
Never gonna quench
Never gonna quench my desire
Come on let me in
Come on let me in
Light the fire
Fire
Down on my knees to pledge my allegiance
Fine where I am for all the convenience
And the fools who mock me
Yeah the ones who stop to scoff and swear
Fill their minds with echoes
Never noticing that I’m not there
Never gonna quench
Never gonna quench my desire
Come on let me in
Come on let me in
Fan the fire
Fire

Stereolith
07:51
|

(lyrics by C. Hastrich, music by B. Kious)
I can hear the thoughts
between your words
When one teaches
Two will learn
I can see the colors
you don't show
Oh don't you know
...
I can feel you
with my eyes closed
I can feel you
with my soul

Read The Moon
02:25
|
|||
(Lyrics & music by Brian Kious)
When the children of the hours
Burn the tallest of towers to the ground
We will stand with the coven
Sending love to the oven without a sound
Then the page will ask the master
Should we foretell disaster very soon
And the old man lifts his eyes aloft
Instructs the boy, “you must first learn to read the moon.”
Dazzling signs will dance around
In your eyes when you read the moon
Dazzling signs will dance around
In your eyes when you read the moon
