So Clear 04:15
lyrics
Song Title:So Clear Words & Music by: Rick Denzien it’s a testimony - the places I have been its so cold & lonely - out here on the fringe at the place in the sky where midnight meets the dawn they are still acting as if nothing here is wrong it’s a sudden wonder - where did it all come from? there’s an endless flurry - the gate turns on the hinge hit yourself beat yourself - i won’t loose sleep tonight they take you down and make you - cry with all your might i can see them - so clear stopped my heart & froze in fear i can see them - so clear i can see them but i won’t stay here Bridge: The path to the sky was empty Mary was smoking down the hall sometimes I just keep driving ‘cause I don’t know why at all its a darkness only - the places i come from how much burning cancer - can a single fire singe? i seen it everywhere - i see it on her face we could try all night - and still be stuck here in this place i can feel them - so clear stopped my heart & froze in fear i can see them - so clear i can see them so damn clear so clear so clear so clear © MCMXCIV to date, Rick Denzien / Slot 1 Entertainment, Inc., all rights reserved. – ASCAP

Mr. Normal 04:42
lyrics
Mr. Normal Words & Music By: Rick Denzien i once knew an old guitarist he played an old guitar sang a song of sadness and wandering looking for an exit the lonely stage door can you live anymore? you’ve been living in the bright lights acting out your roll singing the same old tunes where you show hide behind your ax and a microphone but can you say that you have a home? have a home and his fingers dance on the stings and he sings Mr. Normal, sings and plays it’s funny how an actor seems when he’s on the stage you know what he’s portraying is not the same as the life he’s living i think we need a change thoughts and life rearranged rearranged and his fingers dance on the stings and he sings Mr. Normal, sings and plays i once knew an old guitarist but he played a new guitar he sang a song of gladness and changed heart he found the entrance a city did he see that old guitarist taught me he taught me Mr. Normal, sings and plays © MCMXCIV to date, Rick Denzien / Slot 1 Entertainment, Inc. – ASCAP

It Never Ends Words & Music By: Rick Denzien on the road - i've never gone this far - another sign for my consideration miles and miles they drag on - just reward for my determination oh - i go where the road goes -- and it never ends i go where the road goes -- it rises and descends headlights are so bright -- driving all through the night rocking to the motion of the pavement on the wheels exit 21 on the interstate - so tired i see my eyes roll pull it over to a road side rest - i got to stop or i may loose control oh - i go where the road goes -- and it never ends i go where the road goes -- it rises and descends headlights are so bright -- driving all through the night rocking to the motion of the pavement on the wheels though at time i may feel lonely - and accommodations are not the best but when i determine to see you - you always give me rest of all the things i could have done - it's strange this is my profession could have been a doctor or a fireman - or a priest with a confession. yeah i don't know my full destiny - but i know there is a purpose yeah god i know you got a plan - if i could only touch the surface oh - i go where the road goes -- and it never ends i go where the road goes -- it rises and descends headlights are so bright -- driving all through the night rocking to the motion of the pavement on the wheels © MCMXCIV to date Rick Denzien / Slot One Entertainment, Inc – (ASCAP) all rights reserved.
