Overcast Skies
01:32
|

Don't talk to me about
Sunny skies and sunny days
In this world full of deserts
And freezing cold days
Talk to me instead
Of overcast skies
And a chance for a rain
And a mild snowfall
Overcast skies, overcast skies...

Cosmic Cargo

Cosmic cargo
You gotta ride, you gotta ride
Cosmic cargo
You gotta ride the wave
Last call for boarding
It’s your final warning
We’re off to the stars
The journey’s begun
And we know that the sun
Is in Venus and Mars
Hear the captain speaking
He knows where we’re going
Counting down to blast off
Five, four, three, two, one, zero
Cosmic cargo
You gotta ride, you gotta ride
Cosmic cargo
You gotta ride the wave
Like it’s a bias
We head for the twilight
Between night and day
Sit down, relax
Cause there’s no turning back
This flight is one-way
Hear the captain speaking
He says that we’re leaving
He knoew where we’re going
Oh my God, we’re lost in space
Cosmic cargo
You gotta ride, you gotta ride
Cosmic cargo
You gotta ride the wave
Some day my dream will come true
And then what will I do?
Hear the captain speaking
He knows where we’re going
Counting down to blast off
Five, four, three, two, one, zero
Cosmic cargo
You gotta ride, you gotta ride
Cosmic cargo
You gotta ride the wave
Cosmic cargo
You gotta ride, you gotta ride
Cosmic cargo
You gotta ride the wave

Universe
03:59

Life is a big fish
You think it’s a dish
But it’s still just a wish
Cause you still haven’t caught it yet
You pull on the line
But what do you find
There’s a hole in the fishing net
It’s just a big dip
A ride on a ship
Don’t you know it’s a trip
Cause you still haven’t got it yet
And if you free up your mind
You can travel in time
It’s a feeling you won’t forget
I driving across the Universe on a big ship
Waiting for the sun to shine
I’m surfing the tidal wave on a big board
Thinking that the world is mine
I driving across the Universe on a big ship
Waiting for the sun to shine
I’m surfing the tidal wave on a big board
Thinking that the world is mine
You’re on a big boat dippy-di-doo
Got a shark with a flu who’s got nothing to chew on
And you’re just floating around
With your head upside down
With a clown who is made of sugar
Can’t do the back stroke, the side stroke, the butterfly
When the water’s low and the wave’s too high
So get some salt and lemon
And then you count to seven
Just give it a try, we got some fish to fry
Huh, huh
I driving across the Universe on a big ship
Waiting for the sun to shine
I’m surfing the tidal wave on a big board
Thinking that the world is mine
I driving across the Universe on a big ship
Waiting for the sun to shine
I’m surfing the tidal wave on a big board
Thinking that the world is mine
We’ve got some fish to fry
Just give it a try

This Is Why
03:41
|
|||
This is why I love you
Bluer than the sky
I can't resist your fingers
Or your ruby lips
And if the world falls down on you
I will help you make it through
Whether near to me or far
It doesn't matter where you are
This is how my heart trips
when you're close to me
To your drum I move my feet
To your magic beat
And if the world falls down on you
I will help you make it through
Whether near to me or far
It doesn't matter where you are
This is where I've grown to love
Everything you are
You're like a dream, a shining star
The rarest mountain flower
And if the world falls down on you
I will help you make it through
Whether near to me or far
It doesn't matter where you are
It doesn't matter where you are
And if the world falls down on you
I will help you make it through
Whether near to me or far
It doesn't matter where you are, it doesn't
And if the world falls down on you
I will help you make it through
Whether near to me or far
It doesn't matter where you are
It doesn't matter where you are
This is how my heart trips
This is how my heart trips
This is how my heart trips
This is how my heart trips

Love’s Got Heart

The words you spray
The talk you speak
The laugh you always throw away
Down Easy Street
The tears you shed
Put those away
Don't blame it on psychology
Don't wanna hear apologies
It's raining cats and dogs
It's pouring down like frogs
It fills me with anxiety
Why can't when we can't talk
Stop! Remember, loves got heart
Remember loves got heart
Stop! Remember, loves got heart
Remember loves got heart
Your tongue trips along
Does the devil sing your song?
Don't call it musicology
Just because it turns you on
Stop! Remember, loves got heart
Remember loves got heart
Stop! Remember, loves got heart
Remember loves got heart
The words you spray
The talk you speak
The laugh you always throw away
Down Easy Street
Remember, loves got heart
The tears you shed
Stop!
Put those away
Remember loves got heart
Don't blame it on psychology
Stop! Remember loves got heart
Don't wanna hear apologies
It's raining cats and dogs stop
Stop!
It's pouring down like frogs
It fills me with anxiety
Why can't... when we can't talk

Trouble With You
03:31
|

What did you forget?
Did you leave your mind?
Somewhere in the station
Did you leave it behind?
What could really happen
If you tried to smile?
Tell me what's the matter
What's the trouble with you?
Acting like you're always right
No one's there for you
That's why you lose
Broken hearts are always bleeding
Bedroom eyes are always stealing
Don't take me down with you
Hope you don't decline
Last minute invitations
You could put a new face on
Become the belle of the ball
What would really happen
If you tried to smile?
Tell me what's the matter
What's the trouble with you?
Acting like you're always right
No one's there for you
That's why you lose
Broken hearts are always bleeding
Bedroom eyes are always stealing
Don't take me down with you

Love on My Mind

Quirky-smirky nice and flirty
You know how I like it all fresh and perky
Dicey spicy trick or treat
You know how I like it - very sweet
I got love on my mind
I got love on my mind
Horny-morny in the morning
Sip Champagne and eat scrambled eggs
Something's up and it's so good
I t-t-t-taste the ice cream and the fruit
I got love on my mind
I got love on my mind
Dreamy steamy serendipity
Funny honeybee stinging me
Blooming rose bud beckons you
Come play inside and smell my sweet perfume
I got love on my mind
I got love on my mind
Horky-dorky in the morning
Hurdy-gurdy in the afternoon
Sunshine, moonshine drink it up
Oh, throw the dice cos you're in luck
I got love on my mind
I got love on my mind

Do-it-do-it-do-it-do-it
Do-it-do-it-do-it-do-it
Do-it-do-it-do-it-do-it
Every time you walk into my mind
My heart shines and my fingers start to rhyme
I'm so anxious, you're like a riddle
You're too close, there's no room in the middle
You gotta do it for me
You gotta, you gotta do it
You gotta do it for me
You gotta, you gotta do it
Set your mind and I'll send you what I'm thinking
Don't be shy, you see my eyes aren't blinking
I'm so anxious, I can only fiddle
You're so hot, you make me sizzle
Don't be sane no more, you gotta do it for me
I can't wait any more, you gotta do it for me
You gotta do it for me
You gotta, you gotta do it
You gotta do it for me
You gotta, oh you gotta do it
You gotta do it for me
You gotta, you gotta do it
You gotta do it for me
You gotta, oh you gotta do it
I'm so anxious, you're like a riddle
You're too hot, you make me sizzle
Don't be sane no more, you gotta do it for me
I can't wait any more, you gotta do it for me
You gotta do it for me
You gotta do it for me
You gotta do it for me
You gotta do it for me
You gotta do it for me
You gotta, you gotta do it
You gotta do it for me
You gotta, oh you gotta do it
You gotta do it for me
You gotta, you gotta do it
You gotta do it for me
You gotta, oh you gotta do it

Drowning

What you wanted
What you wanted
That's what you got
What you needed
What you silently prayed for
What you needed
What you wanted
What you wanted
Somewhere up there in the sky
Gently gliding, sliding away
She got what she needed
What she asked for
What you gave her
You prayed for less
But you gave more
She laid you back onto the backboard
She closed your eyes
Got what you needed
She got what she prayed for
Nothing ever happens
Just when you're not looking
Close your eyes
So, close your eyes
It’s all you can do
Pray again
Baby on your knees
Up the stairs
One by one
With your rosary, Rose-Marie
Clandestine
Meetings of the mind
But you're not smiling
You're not anybody's
You're not anybody's
Go away
Just flow away
Somewhere out there in the sky
I think I saw your image
I think I saw your face
I think I saw you
Fly, swim
And you're drowning
Yes, you’re drowning
But that’s OK
I think I saw your image
‘Cos you can swim
Fly, you can drive away
Somewhere out there in the sky

Style It out
04:02

Aha, yeah
Is this your life – a cabaret?
(Is this your life?)
With all your feathers on display
(Put those away)
Don’t be afraid to let your soul unrest
What feels like more is often less
Style it out
Starring in a movie
Style it out
Dancing in the rain
Style it out
Laughing with your co-star
Style it out
That will keep you sane
(Well, I don’t think she looked that good…)
That coat you wear – it fits like a glove
(That coat you wear)
It’s really you, you know, my love
(It’s really you)
And all the world’s invited to partake
Be sure the choice is yours to make
Style it out
I love Paris sometimes
Style it out
But who needs all that jazz
Style it out
Sure, it’s got to feel right
Style it out
Like a Gershwin melody
Style it out
Starring in a movie
Style it out
Dancing in the rain
Style it out
Laughing with your co-star
Style it out
That will keep you sane

You wanna swing-swing
Cause if you sing-sing
And if you think about it
Tell me how to swim-swim
Baby, cause I already know
When you fly baby that’s the time
When it flows maybe then you’ll know
Let’s get through it, let’s get to it
Then we’ll do it again
You can do it on your own
You can do it with a friend
So when you’re loose baby
Come on in
You wanna swing-swing
Baby, to the beat of the drum
Cause if you sing-sing
Maybe you will if you don’t
And if you think about it baby
There’s nothing that’s gonna tell me
How to swim-swim baby
Cause I already know
The time is right, so baby pick the fruit
And take a bite and taste the apple juice
Let’s get through it, let’s get to it
Then we’ll do it again
You can do it on your own
You can do it with a friend
So, do it right, ya baby
Do it right
You wanna swing-swing
Baby, to the beat of the drum
Cause if you sing-sing
Maybe you will if you don’t
And if you think about it baby
There’s nothing that’s gonna tell me
How to swim-swim baby
Cause I already know
And when your feelings are all starting to show
Don’t be afraid of it and just let me know
Your seventh sense is saying “open the door”
Just dive in and swim to the shore
You wanna swing-swing
Cause if you sing-sing
And if you think about it
Tell me how to swim-swim
Baby, cause I already know
You wanna swing-swing
Baby, to the beat of the drum
Cause if you sing-sing
Maybe you will if you don’t
And if you think about it baby
There’s nothing that’s gonna tell me
How to swim-swim baby
Cause I already know
Let’s get through it
Let’s get to it
Again and again

You've taken something away
Something precious from me
That's not OK
Fallen little angel have no fear
Your wings are safe
With me dear
Now you are content
You disconnect...
Move love away from me
Now you are content
You disconnect...
Move love away from me
Well, I'd love to see the light
Minds, eyes, want the night
You've taken something away
Something precious and vast
Not OK
Now you are content
You disconnect...
Move love away from me
Now you are content
You disconnect...
Move love away from me
Now you are content
You disconnect...
Move love away from me

vocals, guitars. drums, knobs), born and raised in Communist Bulgaria.
Within three months of their meeting, Krassy was being deported and Laurie had "no choice" but to save the band. What started out as a "green-card marriage" blossomed from desperate measures into true love.
