It's often said that the eyes are the window to the soul. For a songwriter, their lyrics are the window. Enjoy...

Boy’s Night Out
(Randy Fricke) Hot and damp with a full moon at midnight, I hear the cats on the wall. Right outside of my bedroom window, sounds like they're havin' a ball. They seem to come from miles around, to see what's up with the boys. These are the fellas that are runnin' this town, they're the ones with the big toys. We hear a scream, and then a shout, come on boys, let's check it out. We better run. We better scatter. Looks like the fat boys, want to get fatter. Sirens wail as the boys begin to bail, they've all been raised in the streets. In every alley behind every door, they look for something to eat. They leave home when Mama loses hope, and loses faith in above. Too bad such a sad waste of life, and such a sad waste of love. We got the need, we got desire, we live in pain, but we're on fire. It's our time. It's our way, we'll make 'em suffer. We'll make 'em pay. Hey this is so cool this is what we needed. (Boy's Night Out!) We'll break every rule 'cuz this is our Boy's Night Out. Boy's Night Out! We play such a dangerous game, it's more than cat and mouse. I'd love to stick around and show you how, but I don't wanna play house. Gettin' wild makin' lots of noise, it's getting out of control. It makes sense that all the gents, would wanna sit on the pole. At 2:00 A.M., it could be noon, it might just as well. Rain or snow, be calm or blow, it's not an easy sell. Ya wanna play? You're gonna pay. I get hard. Everyday. I've done more, for so much less, I don't clean up. I leave the mess. Hey this is so cool this is what we needed. (Boy's Night Out!) We'll break every rule 'cuz this is our Boy's Night Out. Boy's Night Out! Hey this is so cool 'cuz this is our Boy's Night Out. Boy's Night Out! © 2005 Randy Fricke |
Dreams Tonight
(Randy Fricke) If I could only hear you say, that you've been waiting for me. I wouldn't wait for one more day, before I'd get you to see. Noone could love you more than I, and all that I want to be is, your friend, your lover, my love, discover. I know I'll see you in my Dreams Tonight. I know you'll be there when I call out your name. I feel like this is something new, it's just a matter of fact. Sometimes it seems so deja vu, it's hard to know how to act. You've got to get out of my head, I need to feel your skin. So warm. So tight. Right now. It's right. I know I'll see you in my Dreams Tonight. I know you'll be there when I'm screamin' out your name. I need the real thing baby, I know I can keep you satisfied. I need your real love baby, I want to make you mine. You know I used to be a real smooth talker, and now I can't even make myself talk. I keep dyin' while you keep denyin' me, my love won't take a walk. I hope you'll take me at my word, I'd never tell you a lie. It's been so tough these last few days, and I think you know why. I can't make sense out of these dreams, I'm tired of waking up dizzy. I know. I can't have you. I don't care. I still want you. I know I'll see you in my Dreams Tonight. I know you'll be there when I'm screamin' out your name. I know I'll see you in my Dreams Tonight. I know you'll be there when I'm screamin' out in vain. I need the real thing baby, I know I can keep you satisfied. I need your real love baby, I want to make you mine. © 2005 Randy Fricke |
For The Last Time
(Randy Fricke) This is the last time I'm talkin' in my sleep. I can't recall what I dreamed about. As I remember I wanted it that way. Altering my memory won't help in any way. I'm seeing shadows I know aren't really there. I'm seeing faces in crowds that must be where. I made the choice to take my psyche back. My inner bank has gone from red to black For The Last Time. For The Last Time. For The Last Time I'm telling you. For The Last Time, all I wanna do, is practice what I preach. I didn't break the rules that they so proudly thought were best, for everyone else but themselves. Don't they know that trying to run others always backfires, right on the one who's doing all the chewing. I am the master of my time and space. I see through lies like they were looking glass. I'm not the spokesman for the human race. But winds of change will kick your sorry ass. For The Last Time. For The Last Time. For The Last Time I'm telling you. For The Last Time, all I wanna do, is practice what I preach. © 2005 Randy Fricke Stop With The Games
(Randy Fricke) You get me goin' baby, you think you have me all figured out, but you haven't got a clue, of what I'm about. You scream and shout, and then you pout, you think you're winning but it's all for nothin'. Don't lay that poor little me trip on me. Stop With The Games. You know there's no one to blame but you. I was only tryin' to have a little fun, you're the one, who blew it all up. I know your secrets, I know your lies, you think you're clever with your see through disguise. But you wouldn't know the truth, if it hit you in the face. Stop With The Games. You know there's no one to blame but you. I was only tryin' to have a little fun, you're the one, who blew it all up. And now you know the truth. Now you have the proof. It's not a question of which side you see it from, the facts don't lie so, don't even try. I hope this issue, doesn't leave you stranded. I could pull you back, just like I planned it. Have a little faith, and stop freakin' out. You've got the power in your mind you've got to have no doubt. You think that someday maybe, you'll outgrow the messes you get into no one around, to clean up after you. You made your bed, now lay in it. I gave you everything so let's not forget, I was the one, who taught you regret. Stop With The Games. You know there's no one to blame but you. I was only tryin' to have a little fun, you're the one, who blew it all up. And now you know the truth. Now you have the proof. It's not a question of which side you see it from, the facts don't lie so, don't even try. © 2005 Randy Fricke |
I’m Talkin’ To You
(Randy Fricke) I can see your emotion, tossing you around in the waves on your ocean. You want to run and hide every time I go by. How do you think that makes me feel? I know you cry. I know you try. I know you need more than you've got to get by. Hey. Yeah you. I'm Talkin' To You. So we took things a little out of sequence, we started out with the sex thing. I'm a boy. You're a girl. What else were we supposed to do? You wanna lay around and watch the world on T.V. You can't solve your problems by remote control. You'll get by. You've got to try. It's gonna take everything to make it cake. Hey. Yeah you. I'm Talkin' To You. Yeah you. You were fine, but you became unkind. Everyone I know has been hurt a little. You went too far with the, "nobody loves me" line, you've got to get yourself back on that horse and ride. You seem to think everyone is out to make a stink. You're on the edge lookin' over on the brink. You know your head. You're no good dead. All you need is some T.L.C. from somebody. Hey. Yeah you. I'm Talkin' To You. Yeah you. I'm Talkin' To You... © 2005 Randy Fricke This Ending
(Randy Fricke) Ooh. You should have seen your face. it looked so out of place. And when you're wrong you're really wrong. And now I'm living it. How much longer were you gonna wait to let me know, that you wanted This Ending? It's going to take some time to show, any signs of mending. You, are always making the rules. I hate to break you the news. But when I'm gone I'm really gone. And you'll be living it. How much longer were you gonna wait to let me know, that you wanted This Ending? It's going to take some time to show, any signs of mending. I wanna make you feel the way you made me feel, when you told me that you loved somebody else. It wasn't fair. It wasn't nice. It wasn't called for. Just another case of think of yourself. Ooh... I'll never drop your name. Our time outlasted our fame. It's been so long how long? Since we've had any peace. How much longer were you gonna wait to let me know, that you wanted This Ending? It's going to take some time to show, any signs of mending. How much longer were you gonna wait to let me know, that you wanted This Ending? It's going to take some time to show, any signs. © 2005 Randy Fricke |
Walk With Me
(Randy Fricke) Don't think of me as a stranger. I'm sure there's got to be things we agree upon. I'll try to indulge you in this fantasy. Only if you come away with me. I wouldn't walk away and, leave you all alone. I'll be right by your side I'd be yours to hold. I wouldn't want you to be anywhere. I wouldn't want you anywhere but here. Why don't you Walk With Me through, bittersweet, memories. We have the chance to be happy. From now on. Is this the one? I see the way that everyone we trust keeps leading us astray. I think we can do better. It starts with you it starts with me today. Can you put yourself into this picture. Oh how I love to watch you shine. You make me feel the best when I'm with you. You'll never know just what it is you do. Why don't you Walk With Me through, bittersweet, memories. We have the chance to be happy. From now on. Why don't you talk to me about, what it really means. We have the choice to be anything. © 2005 Randy Fricke |
You Would Be
(Randy Fricke) You don't have to be ashamed. Of the way that you get played. I know it's hard enough to think, while your mind is on your drink, have yourself another dream. See the hand we're dealt to play. Look at things a different way. If I'm wrong I'll take the blame. Same old story same old song, same old life can last too long. You've got to have fun. You've got to feel love. You've got to have peace. You've got to think of. How you can be happy, right where you are, because if you could be somewhere else, You Would Be. If you could be anybody else, who would it be? Well ya can't so don't get up your hope I know it's hard but soon, you'll see. So you think you've got it made. If you only knew my frustration. I'm only tryin' to make you see, there's a better way to be, don't you think it's time to make that change. You've got to have fun. You've got to feel love. You've got to have peace. You've got to think of. How you can be happy, right where you are, because if you could be somewhere else, You Would Be. You've got to have fun. You've got to feel love. You've got to have peace. You've got to think of. How you can be satisfied, with who you are, because if you could be someone else, You Would Be. © 2005 Randy Fricke |
Randy Fricke (Debut CD) Lyrics
We're All In The Game
(Randy Fricke) So many things go wrong when honesty’s not employed, it’s so hard for some to tell the truth. Advantages enjoyed are so short lived and gains exploited, they believe the balances of justice are for sale. Have I got a deal for you. Life loses magic when it’s lived in such deceit, for those who lie or can’t accurately repeat. Today the spoils of victory go mainly to our foes, we fought them well and took our losses squarely on our toes. The sky is falling and destiny’s calling your name. When you see what’s coming chaos and riots will rage. If we don’t heed the warning there won’t be nobody to blame. No one is worried about you we’re all in the game. One night I’m layin’ awake right?, and a vision comes while in bed. This voice it says I’m gonna show you things, show you things just ahead. For those who wish to pacify themselves with mystic minds. And wile away the hours and days just watching for the signs. Ha!!! Time takes it’s toll on those who let it slip away, the most important things are most worth doing. Too many misses too few hits along the way, history can repeat itself on any other day. The sky is falling and destiny’s calling your name. When you see what’s coming chaos and riots will rage. If we don’t heed the warning there won’t be nobody to blame. No one is worried about you we’re all in the game. The sky is falling and destiny’s calling your name. When you see what’s coming chaos and riots will rage. If we don’t heed the warning there won’t be nobody to blame. No one is worried about you we’re all in the game. Yeah, oh, oh, oh. Ooh... Copyright © Randy Fricke 2001 |
I See You, You See Me
(Randy Fricke) First you want to take me into the city, you say you want to take me out on the town. When I’m out with you baby, I don’t need your pity, I don’t want to see your face with a frown. I need, a little conversation, the kind that makes my head spin around. I want to reach our destination, I want to make a little love to you now. I see you, you see me, we see love and harmony, you’re a vision of perfection, correction. You’re my dream, you’re my queen, you know I say what I mean. I’m a soldier at attention, mmmmm. I know the magic of your kisses. I know the sweetness of your lips. I know the feelings I have deep inside. I hold a jar to catch your honey drips. I want to spend my life with you baby, I want to make a little nest with you. We’re gettin’ older, don’t have to get old, I want to live to be a hundred and two yeah!!! I see you, you see me, we see love and harmony, you’re a vision of perfection, correction. You’re my dream, you’re my queen, you know I say what I mean. I’m a soldier at attention, mmmmm... I see you, you see me, we see love and harmony, you’re a vision of perfection, correction. You’re my dream, you’re my queen, you know I say what I mean. I’m a soldier at attention, mmmmm...

Payin' For Paradise
(Randy Fricke) I see trouble on the horizon, I should have seen her a mile away. She’s loaded and cocked. Desolation follows her everywhere, her trail of destruction is well known. She’s comin’ after me, don’t she look nice? I’ll lose my shirt, I’ll lose my ass, that’s what I’m payin’ for paradise. Yeah!!! She’s comin’ after me, don’t she look nice? I’ll lose my shirt, I’ll lose my ass, that’s what I’m payin for paradise. She only takes a little bit at a time, you won’t even know it ‘til you lose your mind. Hey!!! I’d like to turn and walk the other way, I wish now that I’d turned and run, away... That’s what I’m payin’ for paradise! Copyright © Randy Fricke 2001 |
Connect
(Randy Fricke) You live in the shadows, you could be the writing on the wall. Not that well-loved, just like a king before his fall. It shouldn't take much time to see what's goin' on, you're livin' on the lamb, next thing you're gone. You're not my nightmare, you can't come and visit in my dreams. I need to be awake, so I can take in everything. If I have to wait that's fine, I'll just enjoy it more. I can read between the lines and I can tell what you're hiding for. I see a never ending stream of bs coming out of you, I also know that we've been down this road before, I've seen it all... You love the image you project from your point of view, man you really connect. Long live obfuscation, subterfuge is your truth. If your belief is outside of yourself, guess who it is that you're foolin'. You think you're master of, everything that you see and touch. You're just a poser, the majority of WE don't think you're all that much. The old ways aren't working now it's time for something new, the future's coming soon and it doesn't include you. I see a never ending stream of B.S. coming out of you, I also know that we've been down this road before, I've seen it all... You love the image you project from your point of view, man you really connect. Copyright © Randy Fricke 2001 |
Can't Stop Thinking of You
(Randy Fricke) We've shared some laughs we've shared a lot of love, but that's not keeping us from drifting apart. When I met you I thought you were the one, so what's to say when it's all said and done? I know I said some things I regret, I know the hurt I've caused ain't over yet. I don't expect for you to ever accept, my apology for things that I said. I can't stop thinking of you, darlin' can't find anything to do. No I can't stop thinking of you. This big empty bed is doing nothin' for my head. 'Round and round I go in circles, tryin' to find somebody new. Over and over I keep finding out, there's no one to replace you, no... I hope you find someone who treats you right, I know I tried and now I'm lonely every night. I'd light a candle but I can't see the flame, my world is crashing down there's no one to blame. I can't stop thinking of you, darlin' can't find anything to do. No I can't stop thinking of you. This big empty bed is doing nothin' for my head. I can't stop thinking of you, darlin' can't find anything to do. No I can't stop thinking of you. This big empty bed is doing nothin' for my head. I can't stop thinking of you. I can't stop thinking of you. I can't stop thinking of you... Copyright © Randy Fricke 2001 |
We Turn A Blind Eye
(Randy Fricke) So you think your life is, a silly game, full of pitfalls and illusions. You’ve got to ask yourself why, all the confusion, and where are all of the solutions? You’ve got a brain don’t you, why don’t you use it? You’re the universe’s highest life form. Don’t it make you crazy seein’ so much go to waste? There’re just too many that aren’t full and warm. Don’t tell me you don’t see them. When we see pain we turn a blind eye, when it feels like, it’s not our jam. Why does it take so long to learn what we know? Our chinking armor blows our cover. One day things go alright, the next day goin’ under, in my opinion you reap what you sow. Don’t tell me you don’t see that!!! When we see pain we turn a blind eye, when it feels like, it’s not our jam. Something good happens to us, deep inside, when we try... When we see pain we turn a blind eye, when it feels like, it’s not our jam. Something good happens to us all deep inside, when we try. No, I don’t mind telling you, things got to keep changin’, sitting on the fence can bring stagnation. I won’t be one to judge you, we should know wrong from right, how can each of us know what the other’s thinkin’? Don’t tell me you don’t see that!!! Copyright © Randy Fricke 2001 |
Same Way, Some Day
(Randy Fricke) Where are you gonna go when you need some real love? Who are you going to turn to when you start thinking of? Someone who can pick you up, and never hold you down, I’m around. Anybody else could see this was meant to be. I know you’ve been sad for so long, now it’s time for you to come back strong. What are you gonna do when you need a real man? Someone to just be there, someone to understand. Someone who can treat you like the goddess that you are, here I am. No amount of pain will do I’m in love with you. I can’t imagine ever making you cry, at least not on purpose there are so many reasons why. I’ll be here when you need me, just call my name when you need my hand. Don’t be afraid to need a friend, you might be needed the same way someday. When I look into your eyes, all I see is clear blue skies, I can see right through to your heart, you deserve a brand new start. "Don’t toy with my heart," you say, "I won’t be your fool. I like to think it’s unbreakable but that would not be cool. Look at me when I tell you why I’d never let you down, look around. Right now we’re making history just you and me. I never want to make you mad at me, I never want to see you sad. I’ll be here when you need me, just call my name when you need my hand. Don’t be afraid to need a friend, you might be needed the same way someday. I’ll be here when you need me, just call my name when you need my hand. Don’t be afraid to need a friend, you might be needed the same way someday. Copyright © Randy Fricke 2001 |
I've Seen Enough
(Randy Fricke) You break down so easy, you say you’ll never have enough. What do you need that will make you feel better? What do you want from me? Do you want my love? Do you want my scorn? Do you want my sympathy, for your life that’s torn? Ooh-ooh. I give and I give and it doesn’t make a difference, you take and you take and it’s never your mistake. I try and I try and it always winds up burnin’ me out, without a doubt. Do you want my love? Do you want my scorn? Do you want my sympathy, for your life that’s torn? Ooh-ooh. I’d like to know what you have up your sleeve. You’ve got to show me now or I’ll just have to leave. You like to play the game until it gets too rough. I’d have to say for sure I think I’ve seen enough. Do you want my love? Do you want my scorn? Do you want my sympathy, for your life that’s torn? Never again will I let myself be taken, by anyone who uses good intent. Let’s see the walk before I hear the talk, let’s see your actions. Do you want my love? Do you want my scorn? Do you want my sympathy, for your life that’s torn? Copyright © Randy Fricke 2001 |
Sad Sack
(Randy Fricke) I’m sinkin’ down, to a place I’ve never been before. No one around, to pull me up out of this hell. Won’t somebody please, throw me a line, I’m on my knees. I’m in degrees, separated from humanity. I’m lookin’ down, the barrel of a gun. Where could I run, that was fast enough and far enough? Away from the horror, of seeing my demise. I’m one more in the line, beam me up please hear my cries. Of a Sad Sack do I remind you, of someone like you who feels lost in a crowd. It’s a sad, sad day for the Sad Sack in all of us, a sad, sad, sad, sad, sad, sad day for the Sad Sack. Yeah I’ll bet you thought this was gonna be easy. Well I hate to disappoint you. If you could see the look that you’re giving me, you might be tempted to think I was insane. Never mind the blame-game that’s the loser way, stop thinking like a victim, like somebody who can’t go another day. If you don’t like, the way I am to you. It’s not your choice, we all turn out how we think we will. I remember the good times, and dangers from my youth. I don’t prophesy, I just tell it like it is. Of a Sad Sack do I remind you, of someone like you who feels lost in a crowd. It’s a sad, sad day for the Sad Sack in all of us, a sad, sad, sad, sad, sad, sad day... Of a Sad Sack do I remind you, of someone like you who feels lost in a crowd. It’s a sad, sad day for the Sad Sack in all of us, a sad, sad, sad, sad, sad, sad day for the Sad Sack.

Who Made The Mistake?
(Randy Fricke) You don’t want me for my money, I don’t want you for your brain. I only want you for your body, you only want to drive me insane. You always give me a hard time when I try to tell you, how I feel. You don’t have to be so cruel what did I ever do to you? I don’t want to have to slip away, in the middle of the night. And when I decide it’s time to run, you tell me to stay and put up a fight. You always gotta have it your way I guess you’ve got the right. But why ya gotta be so mean can’t you see what it does to me? Who said that it wouldn’t last? Who said that we moved too fast? Who made the mistake of falling in love? Who said that it wouldn’t change? Who knew it could get so strange? Who made the mistake of falling in love? Every time I close my eyes I see your face, lovin’ you is so damn hard but it’s the kind I can’t replace. You really got inside of me, you really got inside my head. I only want to try to be, the one that you need, I remember you said. You can’t change a thing in your past, all we have is right here where we are. I can’t seem to shake you free, we can be what we want to be. Who said that it wouldn’t last? Who said that we moved too fast? Who made the mistake of falling in love? Who said that it wouldn’t change? Who knew it could get so strange? Who made the mistake of falling in love? Copyright © Randy Fricke 2001 |
Another Pile Of...
(Randy Fricke) So you think you’ve got the whole thing figured out. It seems to me there’s so much more we leave to doubt. My opinion holds, that if you don’t stand you might get trampled, then you’ll know how it feels when you give up control. Every time I look around I’m still amazed. How day to day we all wear the same old face. Some people stand in line, to throw themselves into the fire, I’d rather be one of those than to be known as a liar. I don’t want to hear any of it, I don’t need another pile of, sure I’ll play along long enough to see, what’s gonna happen for me. Ooh, I don’t know. Ooh, you’ve got to show me. Soon we’ll all be free and strong. We’ve been under the thumb for way too long. I’m so glad I get the chance to say what’s on my mind. When you finally learn that you’re the one you need to find. You don’t need a guru, or a god or the stars or a plastic statue, the only thing you need is yourself, you’re enough when you try. I don’t want to hear any of it, I don’t need another pile of, sure I’ll play along long enough, I want to know what the big deal is. I don’t want to hear any of it, I don’t need another pile of, sure I’ll play along long enough, long enough to see. Copyright © Randy Fricke 2001 |
It's Wrong!
(Randy Fricke) The whole world’s goin’ crazy, some bad ones on the loose. Pretty soon we’re fightin’ somewhere, better tighten the noose. Oh how we worship our media, hang on every word. Provocative, argumentative, more useless propaganda. How is it that for so many years so few spoil it for so many? I won’t be like a sheep anymore, you won’t catch me sleeping. Do you find yourself sitting around defaulting to wishful thinking? No one’s gonna come knockin’ at your door sayin’,"here it is for the taking." You are the individual, all change starts with you. Common sense, present tense, be alive in this moment. Yesterday is too long ago, tomorrow is too far away, who really cares who’s doing it with who, it’s more than I need to know. I think it’s wrong, that the thieves and the cheaters keep getting to run the show. I think it’s out of control, slow motion suicide is taking its toll. Stop bitchin’ and listen for a minute, to the voice inside, it’ll never steer you wrong, or steer you from side to side. They’ll always try to break you down, they don’t want you to use your mind, I say get out of my way, or they’re gonna find, they’re outnumbered. Take the step that lifts you up hard work is never easy. I know the road ahead is potholes and loose shoulder. If we can stay aimed straight ahead, few problems should arise. Seize the day, don’t run away, stay focused on the prize. A stunning victory awaits us in the end, no more to be beaten like dogs, over our swelling heads. I think it’s wrong, that the thieves and the cheaters keep getting to run the show. I think it’s out of control, slow motion suicide is taking its toll. I think it’s wrong, that the thieves and the cheaters keep getting to run the show. I think it’s out of control, slow motion suicide is taking its toll. It’s wrong, it’s wrong, it’s wrong. It’s wrong, it’s wrong, it’s wrong... Copyright © Randy Fricke 2001 |
Thank you for hanging out...
