They tried to give me a ticket But I'm not gonna pay Cops got me running in circles I'm gonna give 'em something to talk about today You'll see me live on the breaking news I've got these high speed Los Angeles car chase blues I got a full tank of gas Were on the surface streets Grey fuzz all around me now Eventually they'll be on me by feet You see my live on the nightly news... I got those high speed Los Angeles car chase blues Helicopters are flying News crews get in line My friends call me on my cell phone but I don't got the time They saw me live on the breaking news I've got these high speed Los Angeles car chase blues It's not like I'm running cocaine Or even robbed a bank My cars a Camry 1991 They're trying to bleed me to an empty gas tank But I'm here to win I'm not here to lose I said I'm here to win I'm not here to lose I said I'm here to win I'm not here to lose I've got those high speed Los Angeles car chase blues Lyrics & Music by Hopper/Phillips

let me tell you about a dream that I had last night running with the devil and the law / You were at a party full of headless sheep I was smoking with a pack of wolves / Introductions easy as 1-2-3 I’m Caribou Bill from the AK scene it’s really nice to meet you / Do you smoke or could I buy you a drink / Couldn’t help but see you’ve got style / If dancing with me’s gonna make you stick around gonna have to give me a little time / I’m just not fast like I used to be / my feet don’t work like I’m 17 but I think I could catch up / just needed a reason to exist and to feel like I’m alive / just needed some person to slap me in my face and steal all my pride / you said wolf eyes sweet lies you got in my dream tonight wolf eye sweet lie you got in my dream tonight / I’m so scared my body's shakin' and I’m flying inside a great lagoon / she’s batting wolf eyes and with a handshake she leads me to her room / Oh my little baby swallows me whole til I am sleeping so soft inside her womb / And then I hold on / just needed a reason to exist and to feel like I’m alive / I just needed some person to slap me in my face and steal all my pride / I just needed a home / I just needed a home / I just needed a home / And then I woke up from my dream / where usually I’m dying when I get to the end / and then I woke up from my dream / where usually I’m dying when I get to the end Suddenly I awoke from my dream and I am sitting in my room Gone are those wolf eyes just my lover and the moon And then I woke up from my dream, where usually I’m dying when I get to the end / and then I woke up from my dream, where usually I’m dying when I get to the end

Dreams Are All I Have by Matt Hopper D-C#-D-D-C#-F#m-D-D-C#-Bm C#m-Bm-C#m-Bm-C#m A-E-Bm-C#m-D-E-F#m-D Watch out for that trap / where someone had a dream but they let it slip away / and then they drowned // when you’re operating at a loss / it'll grab you by the heart til your nerves are shot / go back to start / were you out of your mind? / it’s what she said to me / and if you’re taking your time / well, you might last alone /// Tell me now what would you say / if a man he took your dream and he flushed it down the drain / and stole your heart beat / mama I miss you follow my trail / I’ve gotta go and I’m rolling out of town / this is gonna be hard / You’re out of your mind / it’s what she said to me / and if you’re taking your time / well you might laugh alone / dreams they’re all I have to get me out of my bed / So won’t you wake me up before I forget / Oh my dreams they’re all I have to get me out of my bed and with a face like that how could I forget with a face like that how could I forget with a face like that how could I forget

IF YOU NEEDED TO WRITE BUT THERE WAS SOMETHING IN THE WAY WHAT WOULD YOU GIVE UP? WHAT WOULD YOU PAY? ALL YOUR DAYS TO BE AN ENTERTAINER ON YOUR KNEES BEGGING FOR SOME KINDNESS NOW WON’T YOU HELP ME OUT? SOME WOULD TELL ME THIS OTHERS TELL ME THAT MAYBE I WOULD DIE AS A FOOL BUT AT LEAST NOBODY’S PERFECT I THOUGHT IT’D BE EASIER IT’S A MOMENT IN TIME PASSING IT BACK AND FORTH TO MAKE UP YOUR MIND FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH COULD YOU SPEND A DAY NOT ENTERTAINING? STAY WITH ME DON’T YOU KEEP ME WAITING NOW WON’T YOU HELP ME OUT? DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO CAUSE SHE’S CRYING ALL THE TIME IN AND OUT OF THOSE LOVING ARMS AND THE WHEELS KEEP TURNING ROUND AND I THOUGHT IT’D BE EASIER I THOUGHT IT’D BE EASIER I THOUGHT IT’D BE EASIER

(instrumental)

Call my name when you get scared before you crawl in a hole I’ll catch you and your little soul I’d move around to any old town as long as I could hold your hand And walk you and your little dog Playing my games telling you things wishing out the top of my head Cut me slack only look back to remember all the songs that you said I will never find a lover quite like you oh oftentimes it makes me wonder Which one of us will break down first Drop me off at my car in downtown east L.A. Where I lost you and it bit me hard I’m holed up now tracing my steps trying to collect my map Without you as my compass point We got lost as we left the path we thought was right in our heads But look at us now pacing the floor wishing we were in each others’ beds I will never find a lover quite like you oh Oftentimes it makes me wonder which one of us will break down Which one of us will break down?

I saw you on the corner of D and 53rd You were walking we were talking now we’re stalking you I thought I saw I little romance in your eyes I swam across your view your ocean your earth and your skies Suprise-suprised when you come on like a light I’ll never turn you off, I’ll turn you on, I want to turn you on You keep me cool when summer’s hot And you keep me warm when winter sets in, you keep me warm Sometimes I have to pinch my cheek When I see those green eyes looking at me Is this a dream where you come on like a light? I’ve been down this road before and I never want to be left alone in the dark I need your arms to hold me, I need your love, I need your love, I need your love to come on like a light, come on like a light I want to turn you on, I want to turn your on, I want to turn you on

Why do you wail about all your problems You seem to believe life can’t get harder Stop closing your eyes Open and look they’re all around you Those tired and weak Worse problems surround you Wake up and realize you have got the choice to make up your mind today To get up out of bed and chase your blues away You can shake all day you can dance and sway Like you’re walking on water or kissing on my face So insecure about your body You’re lying indoors watching the TV Those models don’t lie Well it’s time for a change, to blaze out a new trail Make up your own version of heaven or hell Yeah ya ya la la la You can shake all day You can dance and sway like you’re walking on water Or kissing on my face

Today is the last day that I’m working over time I made my last call, I watched the sun fall and from me this is your last extra dime I’m confident, not arrogant, that in me I see a great light And if I work at doing what I love I’m gonna leave your greedy ass in the dirt And I’m not gonna work for the man And I’m not gonna do what you want I’m gonna do what I have to do To get as far away from you As a man has got to do for his self worth

I never lied at all when it was love But now I put up walls where there was none Honey all I feel is your eyes Burning across this great divide Oh, I shake and quiver from the fear That you are quick to judge and slow to hear Face yourself somehow A mirror to cast a light On the shadows that you hide You’re a major part of my problem You’re a major part of my problem I’m a minor heartbreak waiting for you I never sing outloud when you’re around And if I get too close, I might let you down Honey, all I hear is your breath Mouthing the brightest kiss of death Oh, I shake and quiver from the fear That you are quick to judge and slow to hear Face yourself somehow A mirror to cast a light On the shadows that you hide You’re a major part of my problem You’re a major part of my problem I’m a minor heartbreak waiting for you

He's always standing in the park Waiting for one sunny face Gonna get off the bus stop at Belmont There you'll find me waiting patiently with with open arms, Harvey Scott I'm always talking to myself and my girlfriends always on my case Gonna get off the bus stop at Belmont There you'll find me waiting patiently with with open arms, Harvey Scott I want to know your opinion but you never seem to want to talk But you always listen and sometimes that is all I need Just someone who listens Baby listen to me I'm talking to a statue in the park, come and find me cause it's getting dark, baby listen to me, I need your eyes I need your ears, your full attention c'mon bring it here, c'mon bring it here Gonna get off the bus stop at Belmont there you'll find my waiting for you, there you'll find me waiting for you, there you'll find me waiting for you

Step outside the open door, taking my love Climb up above a mountainside, taking my love Hold out your hand, take what I got, take in my love
