[Verse 1]
Watching beauties on the picture show
watching the summer go past,
I keep watching pictures on the picture show,
not expecting any broken glass,
[Chorus]
And then,
Bim bam boom bim! What was that?!
Bim bam boom bim! What was that?
Damn! The bully's are wrecking my show,
it's like surviving the Third World War.
[Verse 2]
Watching pictures on the picture show
watching the blood and guns flash.
They tell you it's just entertainment,
who wants to be reminded of that?
[Chorus]
Bim bam boom bim! What is that?!
Bim bam boom bim! What is that?
Damn! The boneheads are wrecking my show,
it's like surviving the Third World War.
[Verse 3 & 4]
I keep watching the beauties on the picture show.
watching the pictures go past.
Time distorts any trouble you know,
keep watching pictures go past.
I keep watching rollers and their rolling past,
watching rollers on the show.
Slamming doors like a weapon you know,
I wish they'd leave and never come back.
[Chorus]
Bim bam boom bim! What was that?!
Bim bam boom bim! What was that?
Damn! The phony's are wrecking my show,
it's like surviving the Third World War.
Bim bam boom bim! What was that?!
Bim bam boom bim! What was that?
Damn! The phony's are wrecking my show,
it's like surviving the Third World War.

We can bring love here again,
free the people trapped in prison.
Concrete bars never bend
crack the pangs of anger's treason.
Tortured owned from they say,
you reprise they gnash their teeth.
All you wanted is a claim
of pastures row of angel's season?
We can bring love here again
when we realize
loving never ends.
We can bring love here again
when we realize
loving never ends.
We can bring love here again
when we realize
loving never ends.
We can bring love here again
when we realize
loving never ends.
We can bring love here again
when we realize
loving never ends.
We can bring love here again,
start a motion once out voted?
Start the river where it ends
there's a touch that waits for knowing.
You can; can't; stay there in a hell
or; so; choose to give all souls devotion.
Envy strikes a blessed house
if you look away instead of giving.
We can bring love here again
when we realize
loving never ends.
We can bring love here again
when we realize
loving never ends.
We can bring love here again
when we realize
loving never ends.
We can bring love here again
when we realize
loving never ends.
Will you adopt a loving way?
Free me from this gridlock?
Will you adapt admit a dream?
Free reflection i may not see.
We can bring love here again
when we realize
loving never ends.
We can bring love here again
when we realize
loving never ends.
We can bring love here again
when we realize
loving never ends.
We can bring love here again
when we realize
loving never ends.
We can bring love here again
when we realize
loving never ends.
We can bring love here again
when we realize
loving never ends.
We can bring love here again
when we realize
loving never ends.
We can bring love here again
when we realize
loving never ends.
We can bring love here again
when we realize
loving never ends.
We can bring love here again
when we realize
loving never ends.
We can bring love here again
when we realize
loving never ends.

No Peace [Demo]

So ready to defend yourself? It’s beginning to be clear.
The things that you are saying here, the worse things that you give.
There’ll be no peace in the valley tonight.
Your question won the fight. Your revenge made this, fight.
There’ll be no peace in the valley, aren’t you a friend?
The lies they speak aren’t what you are. Projection in a mirror.
The other worm is feeding now. Corruption binds all fear.
There’ll be no peace in the valley tonight.
Your question won the fight. Your revenge made this, fight.
There’ll be no peace in the valley, aren’t you a friend?
So ready to defend yourself? It’s beginning to be clear.
The things that you are saying here, the worse things that you give.
There’ll be no peace in the valley tonight.
That man’s robbing in plain sight.
Think twice at the claim that you cry.
There’ll be no peace in the valley, aren’t you a friend?
The lies they speak aren’t what you are. Projection in a mirror.
The other worm is feeding now. Corruption binds all fear.
There’ll be no peace in the valley tonight.
Your question won the fight. Your revenge made this, fight.
There’ll be no peace in the valley, aren’t you a friend?

Invasion of the soul snatchers!
Promise me
I knew you forever I knew you first when you screamed.
Your hand in mine clinched in time, more than a dream.
The numbers added up as the odds saved us, who could see how that’d be?
Will the end be the same as the start, help me.
Promise me baby time won’t turn.
Tell me girl there’s something we’ve earned.
Look in my eyes tell me love’s not cold.
Can you follow my lead, baby let’s be bold.
They can chase all they want, but we won’t be sold for free.
Life of labor days with no Mondays to be free.
A job of isolation waiting for a chance of change.
My cups’ incomplete, drink dissipates.
It’s gone, I get scared & I need you.
When you touch me girl, thirst disappears,
love raining down that only you knew.
Promise me baby, time won’t turn.
Tell me girl, there’s something we’ve earned.
Look in my eyes, tell me love’s not cold.
Can you follow my lead, baby let’s be bold.
They can chase all they want, but we won’t be sold for free.
Will you comfort me and will you say it’s okay?
If we ever trip will you keep your faith?
We can walk that bridge, if you know what it takes to believe?
So much no danger & no guarantee,
if you answer me yes, it’d mean so much to me,
Proof is touch. Proof is that much, all I need.
Promise me baby time won’t turn.
Tell me girl there’s something we’ve earned.
Look in my eyes tell me love’s not cold.
Can you follow my lead, baby let’s be bold.
They can chase all they want, but we won’t be sold for free.

Its so hard to kindle
a trust in this vain town,
where couple's breed struggle
like rivals that must shout
but I'll bind my emotion
to quiet devotion.
In this world
If I could I'd banish
these rules that surround us
where true love is baited
for greed that just swells up
But you have my conviction
to change that condition.
In this world
Let me
give you
a key
to turn
and unlock
what will be
One day
we will take it away from them
and children will share
in their laughter again.
In this world.

I used to think I'd remember,
this was gonna happen to me.
Like the jealous kind Ms. Fortune,
your lovin' makes a soldier of me.
And I'm fighting
to keep love alive,
I'm angry,
what happened to me?
Trust deceived me
I must of been blind
I've been sleeping
with the enemy.
I knew I'd find out
how you have your fun,
and who paid for the battery
that makes you run?
You're busy in anger,
you're busy in fun,
You're a trap
with two doors baby,
I don't know where
I'm coming from.
And I'm fighting
to keep love alive,
I'm angry,
what happened to me?
Trust deceived me
I must of been blind
I've been sleeping
with the enemy.

love can change the man the only thing that can.
quiets will, makes one still, quells the outer rule. i'm falling for you
i'm so in love with you there's nothing i can do. watching you dance here is like a cure.
just one look at you strength comes flowing through
\a sister there, a time not here to watch you rock this room. i feel for you i'm so in love with you there's nothing i can do, watching you smile here is like a cure. like a cure...

Missing Link Us Los Angeles, California
I handed a cassette to then Columbia Artist Walter Egan at The Lighthouse Cafe in Hermosa Beach, CA in 1985. Walter Egan proceeded to record & produce four song ep, receiving airplay on KROQ & college radio. A stronger vocalist was needed. Funding could not be obtained to entice the band members from pursuing other ambition in the; then; very strong business sector, where they remain to this day. ... more
