Music & Lyrics: Roger Steen
Into the dragons lair, smell the evil hiding there
Into the halls of stone, no one there to take us home
can’t stop
don’t look
play dumb
retire
fall out
you bet
hands on the money
You know I can’t recall, of course I’d never tell it all
You’ll never see my face, when I look you’d better look away
and we should have it all, 'long as someone takes the fall
sure shot
lay down
slam dunk
expire
forgot
memo
hands on the money
It’s just a talking point, fix is in you’ll play this joint
in the eyes (chorus)
in the eyes of the world
in the eyes (chorus)
oh you lie, you lie and you’re lyin'
in the eyes (chorus)
You better get out of your hole now now
in the eyes (chorus)
I need your vote today, gonna make those rascals pay
and you can be assured, I’m selling you a divine cure
can’t stop
don’t look
play dumb
retire
fall out
you bet
hands on the money
You know your paycheck's spent, now don’t forget to pay your rent
in the eyes (chorus)
in the eyes of the world
in the eyes (chorus)
oh you lie, you lie and you’re lyin'
in the eyes (chorus)
Where you gonna hide on your long night
in the eyes (chorus)

Music & Lyrics: Roger Steen
You treat love like a candy store
You want somethin' then you want some more
You never mind all the hurting things
baby come on
You’ve timed out in some soul dynamic
for true love, you’re so blind
You’re playin' and the time keeps ticking away
Bone dry
Now true love’s not a foregone thing
Holding on to another link
You’re still making all the time for only
yourself
Well hard luck in a sundown ballad
to stain your mind's eye
will leave you sinking in the deepest of oceans
Bone dry
I ain’t eager to find a love
Keep them ghosts down low
Nice dawn daisies and mourning doves don’t
fill that hope no more
Now you’re leaving with all you’ve come by
Heaven’s gone with the wind
Cheers, I love you, take care and
next one’s on the wing
I guess love’s like a kind of star
You wish and wonder 'cause it seems so far
You get to feeling like a kid at the end of long line
You can’t change anybody else
You don’t know what you only guess
and faith is something for thirsty fools t’ hang onto

Daughter of the Sea
Lead Guitar & Vocals: Roger Steen
Bass Guitar & Vocals: Hank Gibson
Keyboards: Bill Walker
Drums: Prairie Prince
Music: Roger Steen
Lyrics: Prairie Prince
She's a pirate's daughter
folks call her insane
I could paint her picture
her father's not to blame
Mermaid smiles bore her
and I don't know her name
Looking at her picture
I color in the frame
Hold on to a brush of light
it begins to wane
Searching for her father's eyes
it's a waiting game
Mother was a shipmate whore
daughter of the sea
Friggin' in the riggin'
slaughter of '03
Billy was her grandson
has a way inside
Holds a bone to history
following his pride
Creature of the black lagoon
hiding bags of gold doubloons
Serpentine in turpentine
holding on this love of mine
Ocean beach is home to her
pounding waves of foam I hear
Making wild horses manes
painting the girl insane
Why do you run
Follow the sun
Crows caw and fly
Charcoal and lye

Lyrics: Prairie Prince
Open my soul out
like a flower to a bee
Eat from the early dew
I wanna find you
I wanna find the whole you
Get to the bottom
to fly to the heavens
I wanna find you
I wanna find the whole you
Dig deep baby dig deep
All the way to China
Ah oooh
Dig deep baby dig deep
Well, maybe Carolina
Ah oooh
Take all the seasons
find all there is to find out
Open my soul out
I wanna find you
I wanna find the whole you
Dig deep baby dig deep
All the way to China
Ah oooh
Dig deep baby dig deep
Well, maybe Carolina
Ah oooh
How deep will you go
I got to dig deep

I call you now
I can't decide
I found all these ashes blowing around inside
Drums: David Rapaport
Music & Lyrics: Roger Steen
I call you now
I can't decide
I found all these ashes blowing around inside
Where's the door
Can't find my way
Oh tonight it seems I've lost more than I can say
Ophelia where's that something
Ophelia all my running
Could it be
I didn't understand
as all I really want slips through my hands
Like who we are
and where we're going
No matter what I do it's all gone wrong
Ophelia where's that something
Ophelia all my running
has caught up
now I'm tumbling
You made up all that's good in me
Ooooo
Sing my song of love
Ooooo
Say goodbye to love
Guess I'll die from loving you
Ophelia where's that something
Ophelia all my running
has caught up
now I'm tumbling
You made up all that's good in me
Send it Down the Line

Music & Lyrics: Roger Steen
Along the rugged borders of the shoreline
beyond the jagged ridge of distant skylines
you run naked in the sun my
eyes are wide open lookin' down the line
I feel a little shiver run up my spine
still I can't believe this might be our time
Oh save those second thoughts for someone
who believes the day will never come
Would you really like to know
where all of the good ones go
way up in the atmosphere into the space
between us here
The more we stand around anticipating
pretending we believe what we're debating
Oh the farther down the hole we're
sliding into someplace that we can't get out
I feel the mountain moan
it seems to call us home
The future's torn from us,
it blows away like summer dust
Send it down the line
Send it down the line
Where's your baby gonna go tomorrow
dressed up in a future begged and borrowed
Now's the time to stop the madness
turn it on it's end and send it down the line
Send it down the line
Send it down the line
Send it down the line
Send it down the line

Music & Lyrics: Roger Steen
Domino domino domino
you roll your eyes and make it so
Time enough time enough time enough
you always have it seems to grow
Then you leave me standing
and I'm a tumbleweed in flight
Then you leave me holding
on to a dream that's out of sight
Stand me up, stand me up, stand me up
another round I've got to go
High and low high and low high and low
I'll love you someday deep and slow
All I need is a chance to
show you how I'd never do you wrong
But I know you're the kind that
likes to pretend and play along
Shooting star
Shooting star
Shooting star
I want to get you alone tonight
but I don't know how
Sign me up sign me up take my love
and though your heart won't be alone
Feel the flow, feel me low, kind of pause
that love divines we need it so
I'm gonna leave the zone
I want of take a fast and dangerous ride
If I never come back
all that is left I leave behind
