Lyrics

Maya Lee

Music and Lyrics by Michael Caputo

From an indigo sky over Chinatown
High on her flying wing
On a trip light run
By the midnight sun
Solar trajectory
She’s the muse
Who saves it all
A supersonic mom and the
Queen of the Wall
She means everything to me
My Maya Lee
Maya Lee
Get Movin’
Get Movin’
Get Movin’
On a rocket plane headed for Hollywood
Paris and Old Beijing
From the CERN lab on to the Cosmic Way The Van Allen inner ring
Diamond eyes
Shades of gray
Tracking down a hole in the S.A.A.
She’s got everything I need
My Maya Lee
Maya Lee
Get Movin’
Get Movin’
Get Movin’
She’s on her Cray day after day
On a mission to paradise
Revealing the reasons for angels and demons to sell at any price
Markedly well at the outside of hell while she’s running out of time
High up above the oasis of love that she left so far behind
And now she’s headed Right for America
She’s a mark
She’s got the key
Changing all the pages of history
She means everything to me
My Maya Lee
My My Maya Lee
Get Movin’
Get Movin’
Get Movin’
Get Movin’ 2X

Love Will Lead The Way

Music and Lyrics by Mike Caputo

There’s never been a better time
To bottle up the tears inside
And join a fool’s existence of humanity
We chase the light inside
And Love Will Lead The Way
A man whose had his ups and downs
Who played the fool, who plays the clown
A prototype of life’s insensibility
I chase the light inside
Cause Love Will Lead the Way
For all the inspiration we can find
To write the words within our minds
That’s someday part of ancient history
The truth will guide us through to find
Solutions through the toughest times w
e face
A tribute to us all
We look for those within our lives
To open up the good inside
And break the ties that bind our negativity
We bide our time as well
Cause Love Will Lead the Way
For all the inspiration we can find
To write the words within our minds
That’s someday part of ancient history
The truth will guide us through to find
Solutions through the toughest times
We face
A tribute to us all
Sometimes being understood
Is all you need to get you through
The days when you are losing all your sanity
The rain may hide the sun
But Love Will Lead the Way
Love Will Lead the Way
Love Will Lead the Way
Love Will Lead the Way
Love Will Lead the Way
Repeat til End

Scarlet Street

Music and Lyrics by Mike Caputo

Johnny beat Kitty, she gammin’ the fleet
Come and take a ride down to Scarlet Street
Criss Crossed lover, cop on the beat
Movin’ right along down to Scarlet Street
They got games there, funny faces too
They got the Susie Q Lounge
A gabble gather for the chosen few
Don’t you be so Melancholy Baby
Can’t you see that I am so
In love, In love, In love, In love
Late night java at Tiny’s place
Wipe that dirt off your awesome face
Did I hear you right?
Did you say you’re an actress?
I’m an artist unknown in America
It’s ten past two on the clepsydra
What a crazy night to end your life
Sometimes people get what’s comin’
Kitty and Johnny in the cat bird seat
Takin’ a ride down to Scarlet Street
From a jolly good fella to a corporate thief
Underneath a spell on Scarlet Street
They got lamp post vipers, she got the lazy leg blues
I take the El Camino and rumble on down to the Rhythm Reviews
Don’t you be so Melancholy Baby
Can’t you see that I am so
In love, In love, In love, In love
It’s ten past two and I gotta get home
Been lookin’ at the sky in the Twilight Zone
Come the early bright I’ll be painting a blue moon
Can hardly get enough of her off-time jive
Jewel watch chime past quarter to five
Crazy night to end your life
Enantiomorphic wonder
Lacking all perspective of your dreams
Baby take a ride in my back seat
Movin’ right along down to Scarlet Street
The Mighty Mez mugglin’ Stompin’ the beat
Kitty boot me up on Scarlet Street
Kitty got murdered Johnny got beat
Moving right along down to Scarlet Street
(Jeepers I love you Johnny)

Totally China Blue

Music and Lyrics by Mike Caputo

You and 18 have never been farther apart
It’s a zombie’s own way of finding a road in the dark
And it feels so good
Yeah it feels alright
And you’re downright begging a taste so you get through the night
New days and used days
Zooming through a cosmic haze
Consequential meditation
Spike a C-note in your shoe
Driving to Malaysian Station
Totally China Blue
I can imagine your pain it should be breakin’ your heart
It’s Mr. Jones you’re feeding when you’re looking for the magic dart
Make your mark on the streets
Let the grate houses fall
And you chase the white lady with a picture of Christ on your wall
Pack those things and wait outside
Break on through to the other side
Consequential meditation
Meet up with the Red Light Crew
Driving to Malaysian Station
Totally China Blue
Totally China Blue
Totally China Blue

Losing At Love Again

Music and Lyrics by Mike Caputo

Some people say that I’m crazy
For being so in love with you
Don’t know if you’d ever save me
From my lonely self, it’s true
You better fix your mind
You better check yourself this time
I could be bluer than blue I’ll always get the best of you
(Chorus) I’m Losing at love again oh yeah, oh yeah
Losing at love again oh yeah
Losing at love, love, love again oh yeah, oh yeah
Losing at love again, oh yeah!
My way, highway no one else to blame
(Chorus)
You’ve every right to refuse
Might want to recuse yourself
It’s like “whatever” with you
I’ll guess I’ll just excuse myself
Maybe we’ll find the time
Or I’ll just move on down the line
You could be truer than true
I’ll always be a guess to you
I got no reason to stay
Guess I’ll disappear for a while
I’m used to having my way
You’re used to having yours all the time
(Chorus)

Cruel Eva

Music and Lyrics by Mike Caputo

Real smooth, satin and lace
When she gets in your face
Real fine, like Malvasia wine
When you slip in her space
I can tell you it’s a crime that you’ll have to fade
(You won’t live to) Tell anyone of the night that you had today
Oh no! You made a mistake!
Here she comes again
Workin’ Avenue A
Crosstown 10th Dimension
Just west of LA
I’ve been reading all the books by the side of the door
(You’re not gonna) Do to me
What you done did to a thousand more
You better watch your back, you’ll lose your shirt
She gonna leave you lyin’ way down in the dirt
Cruel Eva
You know she got no heart, she got no soul
Another dead man leave no tales to be told
Cruel Eva
Can’t leave her, Oh!
I keep thinkin’ you bit off more than you could chew
Better get a move on baby cause the law coming after you,
Oh no! They come after you!
You better watch your back, you’ll lose your shirt
She gonna leave you lyin’ way down in the dirt
Cruel Eva
You know she got no heart, she got no soul
Another dead man leave no tales to be told
Cruel Eva

Daredevil of Hollywood

Music and Lyrics by Mike Caputo

These are the facts
I confess that it’s a dirty shame (such a dirty shame)
I bled a lot like a gambler in a losing game
Cool wind blows through the araucaria
Exotic wrangle tonight
As I might have guessed
You’d stress out with the blinding night
Memories of those crazy times
But they seem so far behind
Left me in a different world
With some Soho Asian girl
Daredevil of Hollywood
On the freeway in a trashy jet motor
When you end up in paradise
I will be there
Cut through the mix
Cause the fix it just got blown away (the fix got blown away)
If even now I pretend to never hear a word you say (a moment of silence)
You catch me out there with the 1 Oak crowd
Where the music is fine and too damn loud
As I manage to hustle on home
Where I belong
Some La La and my DVR (DVR), retro Cinémoi
Chillin’ in a neo world (neo world)
With some Soho Asian girl
Daredevil of Hollywood
On the freeway in a trashy jet motor
When you end up in paradise
I will be there
The Angel’s famous fall
The hyperdrive plane to the glory wall
The end of the line so they say
For the nitro cycle Wheels of Yesterday
Memories of those crazy times (crazy times)
But they seem so far behind
Left me in a different world (neo world)
With some Soho Asian girl
Daredevil of Hollywood
On the freeway in a trashy jet motor
When you end up in paradise
I will be there

I’m Walkin’

Music and Lyrics by Mike Caputo

The streets are cold and I’m alone in the dark
Guess somebody’s heart is through
This thing’s got nothing more to do about me and
Everything to do with you
I’m walkin’ I’m walkin’
The same mistakes that we all make every day
Never did apply to you
You think you’re better now than anyone else
The audience of one is you
I’m walkin’ I’m walkin’ I’m walkin’ I’m walkin’
May be the reasons that I can’t cherish all the moments in my life
How can I answer to all the mystery dreams that I now find?
I’m walkin’, I’m walkin’, Oh-oh-oh-oh I’m walkin’
I’m walkin’, Oh-oh-oh-oh, I’m walkin’
I’m walkin’, I’m walkin’, I’m walkin’
You never wanted me til ya had enough
Ain’t gonna take anymore yeah I’m gonna be tough
Gonna lose your soul
Gonna lose your mind
I’m the only one who gets to win this time
In a wrong doubt place, in a warped out brain
You’re the only one who knows you got yourself to blame
Now you’re all alone in a fucked up world
That you made for yourself
Can’t blame no one else
You can’t blame no one else

For Your Love

Music and Lyrics by Mike Caputo

For your love (2x)
For your love I would do anything
For your love, For your love
For your love I would do anything
For your love, For your love
For your love (2x)
Never thought that I’d ever find a girl like you
Everything that I ever want in life
A dream come true
I don’t stand a chance
If I’m alone
Stay right by my side
And be my only one, only one
You’re the one in my heart and soul you know you are
You can turn on the fire in me with your eyes
Winter, spring, or fall
It’s all the same to me
Summer every night
That you are here with me
I just got to tell you, you know I have to tell you
For your love I would do anything
For your love, For your love
For your love I would do anything
For your love, For your love
I don’t stand a chance If you should ever leave
Take me as I am
And be my destiny
I just got to tell you, you know I got to tell you
(Chorus)

Mesmerizer

Music and Lyrics by Mike Caputo

Seems to me my luck’s been changing
Through these dark and dismal years
A pretty lady smiled at me and took away my tears
Mesmerizer, come over here and light my fire
Hypnotizer, yeah that’s what you are
Sweeter than the wine and the day
Memories of past acquaintance
Good and bad all disappear
Looking in her eyes I see the reason for my cheer
Mesmerizer, come over here and light my fire
Hypnotizer, yeah that’s what you are
Sweeter than the wine and the day
Magical one who mystifies my very soul
It’s just an illusion if I can’t have you to hold
And if I can conjure the spell to feel you in my arms
A trick will be more I can tell
The secret of your charms
How can I go home?
Mesmerizer, come over here and light my fire
Hypnotizer, yeah that’s what you are
Sweeter than the wine And the day
Mesmerizer (4X)

Dark Night Riders

Music and Lyrics by Mike Caputo

Here in H Town
Amber-soled in the desert sand
Gold and silver heart of the land
Peaceful town here
Seventh house at the Riva Run
Supermagic straight from the sun
Look into the moonlight into the light
Look into the moonlight into the light  (2X)
Future madmen send the news to the local tribe
Fire-like laser beams in their eyes
“Lightning strikes on!”
Sonar Brothers are mystified
Now that sacred ghost has arrived
Look into the starlight into the light
Look into the starlight into the light (2X)
The good old boys are staying the night
Should be gone by the new morning light
Sound that gong and sing that song
Here comes the sound of the thundering herd of the Dark Night Riders
Look to the sky and don’t say a word it’s the Dark Night Riders
Here comes the sound the thundering herd of the Dark Night Riders
Look to the sky and don’t say a word it’s the Dark Night Riders
The good old boys are staying the night
Should be gone by the new morning light
Save our town we’re one man down
(Repeat Chorus and Fade)

Land of Lemuria

Music and Lyrics by Mike Caputo

There’s a place that lies beneath a mountain
A secret entrance to Mu
Down here it’s a beautiful world
Green, white, purple and blue
Is anyone else but me here?
Anybody at all
The land goes on forever and ever
It’s magical, illogical, a close encounter with a miracle
Amazing, tremendous and somewhat metaphysical
Wondrous and stupendous, immensely technological
Journey on down to the Land of Lemuria
Now I’m off to the holographic theater
Band really turning on the muse
Performing late tonight, Essential Ring of Fire
Shangri-La, Pacific Blue
Here you can stare at the sun
Reaching all the highest places and you’ll be the only one
The sky goes on forever and ever
It’s whimsical, fabulous, slightly unpredictable
Eclectic, majestic and somewhat psychological
Joyous, altruistic, extremely ecological
Party on down to the Land of Lemuria
It’s a sacred place
A gateway to the heavens
It’s a sacred place
A gateway to the heavens
(Outro) Dreams are true
Comes as no surprise
Making love in the afternoon
In the Land of Lemuria
Nobody gonna ever believe it
The little bit of love you need to see it
Nobody gonna ever believe it
Neither could I until I seen it

Poor George

Music and Lyrics by Mike Caputo

Poor George
He was the 8th in line
Poor George
He didn’t pray to Zin Shrines
Why you in this God forsaken place?
Give em’ one bad look and you’re flat on your face
I think you’re really goin’ down this time Poor George
Downtown
Workin’ that 9 to 9
Uptown
Doing the Jumble from the Daily Jive
Though they say you came from outer space
With your 2-toned hair, bible signs on your case
It’s checkin’ out time at the Hotel Divine Poor George
While you’re sleeping tonight
Cast your fate by tomorrow
Save your soul today
Poor George Strumming a jazz guitar
Poor George
Throwin’ down shots at The Velocity Bar
With the Mesa Boogie tuned to Grace
A one-legged man in a two-legged race
Hezekiah wouldn’t be a bit surprised Poor George
While you’re dreaming tonight
Cast your fate by tomorrow
Save your soul today
Poor George He was the 8th in line Poor George
He didn’t have a thin dime
Why you in this God forsaken place?
Give em’ one bad look and you’re flat on your face
I think you’re really goin’ down this time
Poor George (3X)
