Look outside - It’s finally here
We’ve been waiting for this all year
The sun is up and the skies are clear
This summer, this summer
Round up everyone we know
For tiki drinks on the patio
Go-Go’s playing on the radio
This summer, this summer
This summer – I can’t wait
Don’t you know we’re gonna stay out late
This summer – it’s all right
If we swim all day and we dance all night
This summer – oh this summer
We’re gonna rock!
Suntan lotion, swimming trunks
Lightning bugs and ice cream trucks
Snow cones, bomb pops, we’re in luck
This summer, this summer
Flip flops, lifeguards at the pool
Run through sprinklers to stay cool
Firecrackers and skateboards rule
This summer, this summer
This summer I’ve got my eye on you
And I’ll tell you what I’m gonna do
I’ll spend each day above cloud nine
This summer if I can make you mine
NEXT BEST THING
Words: Bostick/Hetman
Music: Bostick
Are you looking for a boy
You can treat like a toy
Who won’t be annoyed
When you stray
A boy who’s got the beat
Who’s at home in the street
And can take the heat
Of things that you say
You can look around
All over town
And if you haven’t found
The boy of your dreams
I’m the next best thing
I’m the next best thing
I’m the next best thing
Won’t you settle for me
Are you looking for a guy
Who knows how to lie
And looks you in the eye
Just the same
A guy who’s got wheels
And knows how it feels
To break the hearts that he steals
Away
You can look around
All over town
And if you haven’t found
The guy of your dreams
I’m the next best thing…
I told you right from the very start
You’re the one for me
But time keeps slipping away
Don’t waste another day
Are you looking for a man
Who knows where he stands
And won’t make demands
On you
A man who’s got style
And a devilish smile
Who every once in a while
Comes through
You can look around
All over town
And if you haven’t found
The man of your dreams
I’m not real sure what you’ve been up to
The weeks you’ve been away
You never wrote to say
The calendar I’ve kept since you left
Is unmarked and unread
Nothing fun since then
And every page torn away
Is like another wasted day
Another wasted day
Another wasted day
How much could I hope to get done
If I could clear my head
Get on with life instead
But thinking of more days without you
Recalls what came before
And I just miss you more
Every memory replayed
Is like another wasted day
Another wasted day
Another wasted day
I tried so hard to make you stay
But you were born to get your way
How can I beat that beaten track
And set your mind on coming back?
Time seems useless ‘til it runs out
And anything I do
Is useless without you
So is it wrong for me to keep on
Hoping you switch gears
Before days turn into years
And every second you’re away
Is like another wasted day
Another wasted day
Another wasted day
Come hell or come what may
Don’t make another wasted day
Track Name: Hit and Run
HIT AND RUN
Words & Music: Craig Bostick
I get into my car
And I turn on the radio
I hit that pedal hard
To see how fast I can go
But it’s not fast enough
The music’s not loud enough
To deliver me from your memory
They say that I should just forget you
But I can’t forget you
You wrecked my heart like a hit and run
The hardest part is I’ve survived
The damage that you’ve done
I drive on through the night
My heart beats black and blue
I know I’ll be all right
If I get far enough from you
I don’t want to see your friends
I don’t want to see your car
I don’t want to see you without me
They say that I should just forget you…
I don’t know if I’ll ever slow down
I don’t know if I’ll turn around
I may just drive on racing to a heartbreak song
Sometimes I see you on the street
You look like someone I should meet
But I don’t, you go your way
Now you’re sitting there all alone
Looking like you wish you were home
But don’t go, I want you to stay
Stop waiting, start shaking now
Stop glooming, start moving now
Just dance!
(C’mon baby let the music find you)
Just dance
(C’mon baby leave the world behind you)
And if you lose control
Well, there's nothing wrong with that
So just dance!
Got to get out on the floor
I just can’t stand here anymore
We may never have this chance again
Get your feet up off the ground
How can you resist the sound?
If not tonight, then when?
Stop waiting, start shaking now
Stop glooming, start moving now
I ride the train
I live my life along the tracks
I ride the train
I don’t know when I’ll be back
I ride the train
Seems it’s all I ever do
All I do is ride the train
But it don’t take me home to you
When I first left for that gold horizon
I thought the distance would do us no harm
But then the night came so black and so lonely
And I wished I was in your arms
I ride the train…
Now I’ve seen the ocean and the desert
Everyday It’s another place
But I don’t want to see the world’s wonders
If I can’t see your face
I ride the train…
All alone, all the way
All alone, all the way
All alone, all the way
From lonely day to lonely night
From lonely night to lonely day
There ain’t no use in me hangin’ around
It’s not like I don’t have anywhere else to go
I remember when we were the talk of the town
Now you’re just someone that I used to know
Sharing this bed with my loneliness makes it hard to sleep
I go out for a drive and it’s all I can do not to keep going
Never looking back
Meet me tonight
It could be my last chance
This place can be murder
I don’t want to die by it’s hands
If only my car could make it
Far away from Moon City limits
Then I’d never wake up in this town again
People like us never stay here for long
There’s something inside that draws them away to bright lights
It’s just so hard finding your way in the dark
So why am I still here trying to get it right?
Down on the street lovers walk by in the night
And I have to wonder why can’t that be you and I
You and I far away from here
Meet me tonight…
The spark in your eyes could set the world on fire
Once upon a time that spark burned in mine
I’m coming undone walking on a wire
I know I’ll fall unless you help me find
Find the strength for one more try
COME OVER, COME OVER
Words: Bostick/Hetman
Music: Bostick
Nothing much going on ’round here tonight
Come over, come over
Ain’t got no money but that’s all right
Come over, come over
We can play cards or watch TV
You know it really doesn’t matter to me
The fireflies flashing never seemed so bright
I saved a seat for you on my porch
Come over, come over
If we drink all the lemonade, we can more
Come over, come over
Watch the next-door neighbors through their window
See them dancing to the radio
Hear them laugh and sing through the screen door
One two three four - I told you before
Five six seven eight - Don’t be late
Nine ten - Ready or not
Come over, come over
Come over, come over
All the kids on the block have come out to play
Come over, come over
Someone kicks a can and they run away
Come over, come over
A bottle rocket shoots across the sky
Freezing everything still with perfect light
Make a wish that things will always be this way
One two three four…
There’s a pick-up truck parked in the yard
We can lay in the back and look up at the stars
Imagine we are so far
So far away from here
As far away as they are...
I try to behave
But it’s hard
First it was March
Now it’s May
I try to behave
Sit on my hands
Call all my friends
Stay in my cave
Every time I get away—another violation
My sweet tooth leads me to the Candy Station
Love is on probation
Another state and line
Put an APB on me and post a WANTED sign
Send in the forces of a tiny nation
My sweet tooth leads me to the Candy Station
I try to behave
In the wind
Maybe I bend
Maybe I break
I try to behave
But baby it’s hard
When it’s dark
Then it’s today
I trip away on holiday vacation
My sweet tooth leads me to the Candy Station
Love is on probation
Another state and line
Put an APB on me and post a WANTED sign
Order up the winding sheets to handle these
temptations
My sweet tooth leads me to the Candy Station
I slip away and leave no information
My sweet tooth leads me to the Candy Station
Love is on probation
Another state and line
Put an APB on me and post a WANTED sign
I give no warnings and I don’t take
reservations
Four in the morning is free of complications
Nail up the theses I support a reformation
My sweet tooth leads me to the Candy Station
Have a squad car greet me
Let the long arm beat me
Will you meet me at the Candy Station?
Everybody’s cryin’
Everybody’s blue
Everybody’s lonely
Nothin’ they can do
Everybody dreams at night
They hold you tight
I know they dream the way I do
Everybody’s cryin’
Darlin’ over you
I see you on the street
You know you look so sweet
But you’re always on your own
Still I see you intend
To make me spend
Another summer all alone
And late at night I wish for you
On every star in the sky
And I wonder why
You wanna make me cry
I’m not the only one–can’t you see
They’re all just like me
Everybody’s cryin’
Everybody’s blue
Everybody’s lonely
Nothin’ they can do
Why don’t you kiss me
Somebody, anybody
It doesn’t matter who
’Cause everybody’s cryin’
Darlin’ over you
I’ve got that new job now
Drive by that motel everyday
Out on the edge of town
Out past the new highway
And think about that night with you
Frustrated, reckless and nothing to do
You couldn’t go home, you’re dad was drunk
We scraped up eighteen bucks
It was hard to tell
I was sunburned and blonde
In that room on fire
With love and red neon
But I guess it wasn’t what it seemed
I guess we could plead insanity
You see I thought it all would last
Then it turned so cold so fast
Now there’s one thing I’ve found now I’m older
Seems it’s just begun and summer’s over
Summer’s gone and so are you
Rode down the highway with someone new
But my heart’s still on fire from you
I don’t care if you come back
I don’t care if we never stay
At that old motel
Try not to think about those days
It doesn’t matter what went wrong
All that time and love is gone
Nothing matters much these days
Just hope maybe this new job pays
Now there’s one thing you’ll find as you get older
Seems it’s just begun and summer’s over
GONE FOR GOOD
Words: J. Hetman
Music: J. Hetman/C. Bostick
You're gone but I've not forgotten
You left and crawled back before
Your welcome's worn out and rotten
I don't want you back here anymore
I don't want you back here anymore
You wanna eat cake and have it
You break more rules than you bend
All's fair in love's war but dammit
There's a time for all bad things to end
A time for all bad things to end
What's done is done - you've never done what you should
The good is gone and now you're gone for good
You're gone for good!
You're gone for good!
You sinned and swore your repentance
I loved it when you confessed
But now I find that your absence
Is the thing about you I like best
The thing about you I like best
What's done is done…
I can't see
Why you ever wanted me
Was it just to make me trust my fears?
Now I know
Where this nightmare had to go
All my friends said it would end in tears
In tears
In tears
