Modigliani (Lost In Your Eyes)
(S. Ottaviano,J. Lee, T. Ottaviano)

Darkest night
candlelight
your hands were soft
your skin too pale
white on white
I had to turn away
from your light

I could see you
laugh at me
you knew what
I was thinking inside
with one look
of your all seeing eyes

Wear the disguise
I’m lost in your eyes

Your glance felt
like a knife
so clear, so blue
I was swimming inside
I was swimming inside

You’ll always be
real to me
I took one look
I could fly away
stare, stare
in your all seeing eyes
till starlight

You wear the disguise
I’m lost in your eyes

Amedio,
gli occhi tuoi
mi anno fatto innamorare

You Make Me Feel So Good
(S. Ottaviano, T. Ottaviano)

In my room
soft and warm
curtains drawn
no lights on

Eye of blue
I love blue
words that say
I love you

You make me feel so good

I wish I was
on the waves
in the sea
white caps break
on my wet dream

Why don’t you
come and play
on white sheets
we’ll float away

You make me feel so good

I can’t wait
to be with you
I just like
the thing you do

I wish I was
in my room
all alone
I’d wait for you
to come home

Eye of blue
I love blue
I’m on the waves
alone with you

You make me feel so good
you make me feel so good
good

I Touch Roses
(Theodore Ottaviano)

If you think I’m magical
cause roses bloom with my touch
thats mathematical
I think you think too muchI touch rosesIf you try to talk with me
if you try to copy my
pocket full of poses
you still can’t touch my rosesI touch roses
I touch roses
I touch roses
I touch roses

If you think I’m magical
cause roses bloom with my touch
but magics just not practical
I think you think too much

I touch roses

Boy
(Theodore Ottaviano)

I want to be where the boys are
but I’m not allowed
I wait outside of the boy’s bar
I wait for them to all come out I’m not a
boy

It’s not my fault
that I’m not a boy
it’s not my fault
I don’t have those toys

I’m not a
boy

And now it’s alright
without those boys
I stay at home at night
and I play with my toys

I’m not a boy

Pretty Boys and Pretty Girls
(Theodore Ottaviano)

When I’m alone
and you’re away
I just close my eyes
and I drift away
your warm body
is what I’m without
I just close my eyes
and I dream about

Pretty boys and pretty girls
pretty boys and pretty girls
(when I’m without)
pretty boys
(I dream about)
pretty girls

Strangers in the night
exchanging glances
but sex is dangerous
I don’t take my chances
the boys I meet
say I look lonely
but I just walk on my
because they’re only

Pretty boys and pretty girls
pretty boys and pretty girls
(when I’m without)
pretty boys
(I dream about)
pretty girls

In this day and age
in a city full of fear
with you by my side
together we can show we care

Spreading joy to the world
to every boy and every girl

Pretty boys and pretty girls
pretty boys and pretty girls
(what will we show?)
spreading joy
(where will it go?)
to the world

Lullaby
(Theodore Ottaviano)

Sometimes I watch you while you sleep
I know you’re somewhere in a dream
and I’ll cradle you in my arms tonight
’cause I know your soul is somewhere up above

Lullaby and goodnight
on this starry, this starry night
sleep tight, tonight

Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray that my soul will keep
’cause I know that you are somewhere else tonight
and I hope I’ll see you somewhere up above

We can sleep all of our worries away
’cause tomorrow, today will be yesterday

Lullaby and goodnight
on this starry, this starry night
sleep tight, tonight

Sleep tight, tonight

Sunny Day
(Theodore Ottaviano)

Tears fall from the sky
Like raindrops from your eyes
Tears fall from the sky
Like raindrops from your eyes

It only takes a sunny day
To find a way
It only takes a little time
To open up your mind

I wonder if you’ll ever know
That love makes our spirit glow
I wonder if you’ll ever know
That love makes our spirit glow

It only takes a sunny day
To find a way
It only takes a little time
To open up your mind

Get on your knees and pray
The sun will shine one day
Get on your knees and pray
The sun will shine one day

It only takes a sunny day
To find a way
It only takes a little time
To open up your mind

Counting the Rosaries
(L. Roselli, T.Ottaviano)

Not an eye was dry
In heaven or on earth
The angels did cry
Why are angels crying
In a place so full of grace
With happiness and love

Counting the rosaries
Counting 1-2-3
Counting the rosaries
Counting the rosaries
Counting 1-2-3
Counting the rosaries

Happiness and love
Happiness and love

Hope and wish and pray
Somehow, some way
The angels won’t cry
The angels will not cry
All is bright
Heart screwed in tight
With happiness and love

Counting the rosaries
Counting 1-2-3
Counting the rosaries
Counting the rosaries
Easy as A-B-C
Counting the rosaries

Happiness and love

Hunny Hunny
(Theodore Ottaviano)

All the gardens that we grew
Are somehow hard to find
And all the knowledge that we knew
Has somehow left our minds

But there’s
Starshine and moonshine
And sunshine on this place
And there’s
Starlight and moonlight
And sunlight on my face

Hunny Hunny
Feels so funny
Shining down on me
Sunny Sunny
Just like honey
Pour all over me

All the friends that I know
They handle me with care
All the friends that I know
Have somehow disappeared

But there’s
Starshine and moonshine
And sunshine on this place
And there’s
Starlight and moonlight
And sunlight on my face

Hunny Hunny
Feels so funny
Shining down on me
Sunny Sunny
Just like honey
Pour all over me <

Hunny Hunny
Feels so funny
Whenever you’re around
Sunny Sunny
Just like honey
Like sweet green icing flowing

Down

It’s in your eyes
(S. Ottaviano, T. Ottaviano)

No lies, no conversation
The touch of your hand
Something I don’t understand

It won’t hurt
When I think of you
The situation, your point of you

It’s in your eyes
I’m watching out, I’mw atching out
It’s in your eyes
I’m watching out, I’m watching out

Other places, feeling fine
Catching my breath
Taking your time

Can’t understand
If something’s true
I saw another when I looked at you

Chatterbox (Pt.2)
(J. Lee, T. Ottaviano)

One hundred purple lotus in the lake, in the middle where it’s still. One hundred purple lotus on a mirror, where it’s dark and deep, accessible only to bees and hummingbirds. They don’t see their beauty, they only see the food. I wish I was a leaf that could float over the surface, instead of a person who would sink down among the roots and snakes and seamonsters who bump against my legs.

Suitcase full of candles, hat stuffed with prayers. The candles drop out one by one. They fall and roll across the floor. White and perfect, unlit souls. And the prayers escape into the air, dark vapors in the night.

Am I asleep or am I awake? Do I like pie or do I like cake? Am I here or am I there? In my bed or in my chair? Who knows what, if what is there?

Standing in a sandbox, kicking over castles. Didn’t anyone ever tell you? If you stand deep enough in a hole during the day, you can see the stars.

Megawatts, electric sparks, crackling deep into the dark. Reaching fingers seeking out, on the ground our small white hearts. Pulling together our positives and negatives. In the thunder and the storms, we’ll feel together and alone, our tiny feelings sprouting beside us, encircling us, illuminated in the flashes of the sky. They grow a little each time we see them, small buds and tender shoots in a garden fed by lightning. We’ll sit together breathing in the earth and sky while trees tower over our heads, blowing madly north to south. We’ll be together and alone.

Blue heaven high heaven dear heaven real heaven all heaven my heaven yes heaven seventh heaven ripe heaven smile heaven sleep heaven deep heaven clear heaven any heaven more heaven floating heaven warm heaven soft heaven home heaven new heaven yummy heaven free heaven live heaven silent heaven holy heaven simply heaven sweet heaven fluffy heaven this heaven happy heaven wide heaven endless heaven our heaven be heaven fine heaven light heaven white heaven bright heaven praise heaven tender heaven still heaven one heaven forever heaven how heaven now heaven heaven is now heaven on earth.

Try

Were there things you wished to try
But could not, they passed you by.
Deeds undone, the ones unmet
I’ll try now not to forget.

Try, try, to start again.
Try, try, the middle and end.

Start a thought and wait awhile
Gentle face and soft white smile.
Good in middle, good at the end
Raise your arms and try again.

Body that I want to try
Learn to shape, to cast, to fly.
Catch the palm and hold his eye
Can I get it have to try
Can I get it have to try
Can I get it have to try.

Try, try, to start again.
Try, try, the middle and end.

Writing songs I try to mend
It’s a blessing for a friend.
Say goodbye now say hello
Where I was is where you go.

Field of vision crisp and clear
Moon lights up as you appear.
Dancing jewels, Loving Eyes
Good things for the one who tries.

Good things for the one who tries.

Getting Faster
(S.Ottaviano/T.Ottaviano)

Slowing Down and Getting Faster
Slowing Down and Getting Faster

Listen to me
One at a time
Talk like Me
One at a time
Are you tumbling
One at a time
To me

Slowing Down and Getting Faster
Slowing Down and Getting Faster

Feet are twisting
Touching the Floor
Words are twisted
Touching the floor
Legs are barely touching the floor
No more
No more
No more
No more
Slowing Down and Getting Faster

Blue Sky Won’t Go Up and Up
Blue Sky Won’t Go Up and Up

My vision
Lies still now
It’s strange how
We all bleed
Like blushing
Drips down now
Five fingers
Don’t linger
My vision
Lies still now
It’s strange how
We all bleed

Slowing Down and Getting Faster
Slowing Down and Getting Faster
