Carita
Written by: Rikk Roxx

Carita, I see a vision when I call out.. your name.
I see ya, your smile’s as bubbly as the finest.. champagne.
Carita…
Carita…
Carita…
I need ya….

Oh now but I’m getting ahead of myself,
Because I really don’t know who you are.
I’m so ashamed I could slap myself..
I take things way to fast and too far.
I always make the same mistakes.
I guess I really am hard to take.
Don’t know what made me this way..
But I really just want to say..

Too Close To Heaven
Written by: Rikk Roxx

I’ve seen my share of those who see,
the ones who live out hypocrisy.
And those who think they’re in the know,
Some place above, some place below
The only thing they do get right,
Is that they should be scared at night.
I don’t know why they pervert the word
The things they say are so absurd, it’s like
Heaven. You’re getting’ too close to Heaven.
Heaven. I think you’re too close to Heaven.
You see, God sent ya down, to hang around, see all you can see.
Learn all you can know, Let your mind grow, not to control society, (because)
Heaven. You’re getting’ too close to Heaven.
Heaven. I think you’re too close to Heaven.
"Or is that the other one?"

Lead

And when you’re facing your last days
Maybe next week, maybe today..
Be sure of yourself and what you believe
If it makes you strong, if it fills your needs
As long as the golden rule applies,
And you’re your only human sacrifice
It matters not to which name you pray
Allah, Buddha or Yaweh.. because
Heaven. If you’re good you'll get to Heaven.
Heaven. You can choose your form of Heaven.
You see, God sent ya down, to hang around, see all you can see.
Learn all you can know, Let your mind grow, not for pushing your morality, (because)
Heaven. You’re getting’ too close to Heaven.
Heaven. I think you’re too close to Heaven.

Heaven. If you want to get to Heaven.
Heaven. If you’re good you get to Heaven.
You see, God sent ya down, to hang around, see all you can see.
Learn all you can know, Let your mind grow, keep away with that negativity, (because)
Heaven. If you’re good you get to Heaven.
Heaven. I think you’re too close to Heaven. (You can’t even relate anymore)
Heaven. You’re getting’ too close to Heaven.
Heaven. I think you’re too close to Heaven.
Heaven. You’re getting’ too close to Heaven.
Heaven. I think you’re too close to Heaven.

Sharing Smiles
Written by: Rikk Roxx

When I touch you,
Part of life’s little puzzle falls together,
Yes it does, Mmm-mm, Mmm.
When I see you,
I’m the luckiest man in the world when we’re together,
Could this be true? Ooh-ooh, ooh.

Cause I can see us getting closer,
Sharing smiles with each sunrise
I hope I don’t- ever pose you any problems,
Cause all I want’s.. to share some time.

When I hear you,
Your sweet melodic voice just draws me closer,
I’m into you, Ooh-ooh, ooh.
When I feel you,
Lying next to me girl, I’m in heaven.
Now don’t get spooked, Ooh-ooh, ooh.

Cause I can see us getting closer,
Sharing smiles with each sunrise
I hope I don’t- ever pose you any problems,
Cause all I want’s.. to share some time.

When I sense you,
Feeling down well you know I gotta change it,
Don’t be blue, Ooh-ooh, ooh.
When I kiss you,
My lips have found a home they’re never leaving,
They belong to you, Ooh-ooh, ooh.

Cause I can see us getting closer,
Sharing smiles with each sunrise,
I hope I don’t- ever pose you any problems,
Cause all I want’s.. to share some time.
I hope I don’t- ever pose you any problems,
Cause all I want’s.. to make you mine.

Lying To Myself
Written by: Rikk Roxx

Lying to myself again
Don’t know how this will ever end
Because time and time and time again
I’m always lying to myself, lying to myself again.

I guess it started ‘round high school
I told my parents they could never know
Just what I was going through
"This ain’t the stone-age no more"
But what I did not realize about my life of tragedy
It was built up on those lies that myself kept telling me
If I’d listened to their advice, just one word I could have heed,
But there I go, lying to myself again..

Lying to myself again
Don’t know how this will ever end
Because time and time and time again
I’m always lying to myself, lying to myself..
Lying to myself again
Don’t know how this will ever end
Because time and time and time again
I’m always lying to myself, lying to myself again.

Just like I was telling you,
When we met I thought "you’re the one!"
I tried to be so smooth
But before I could start, we’re done??
So now that lightbulb in my mind is fine and glowing finally
I can see my err’d ways, there ain’t no fairy-tale endings
Unless you decide to change your plans for how our life will be,
Oh there I go, lying to myself again..

Share Everything
Written by: Rikk Roxx

I see a new way; right there in front of me,
It seems the only other way is sheer misery.

You see me coming; we know it's crazy,
How quick souls can meet and hearts can be set
free.

Why do we fight it; we know it's meant to be,
We simply shouldn't fear a chance to be happy.

Well I know you,
And you know me..
Together we could share everything.

Look deep inside me; I am the one you seek,
And you're the only one who would make my life
complete.

Well I know you,
And you know me..
Together we could share everything.
Well I know you,
And you know me..
Together we could share everything.

Lead

Free again, Now I’m a free man
No one will get in my way
If I have my.. say, yeah
Wanted, love’s all I wanted
So hard to come by nowdays,
But what can I.. say, yeah.

I’m either at the top of the world or it’s coming down on me,
If there’s only one sure thing in life- it’s our mortality
I’m gonna give it all I got, a spark is what you’ll see
Then I’ll fade away.. yeah.
I’ll fade away.. yeah
I’ll fade away.

fade out

I’ll fade away, yeah
I’ll fade away, yeah
I’ll fade away, yeah

Better Days
Written by: Rikk Roxx

You might think my life’s a shame
But I’m feeling just fine anyway
I’m gonna survive, not gonna complain
And I’ll get through to better days..
Better days, there’s better days
Sometimes so hard to see thru the haze
I know what it is, unbearable pain
But ya gotta hold out for
Better days, there’s better days
Always a rat race throughout the maze
I know what it is, unbearable pain
But I'm due some better days.

Keep good karma within close range
Don’t dwell on the negative or the rage
Find someone or something, and at each stage
Remember there will be better days
Better days, there’s better days
Sometimes so hard to see thru the haze
I know what it is, unbearable pain
But ya gotta hold out for

Lead

They say what doesn’t kill can make you strong
And a better person keeps moving on
Take what you can from what they say
And hold out for better days!
Better days, there’s better days
Sometimes so hard to see thru the haze
You know what it is, unbearable pain
But ya gotta hold out for
Better days, there’s better days
Always a rat race throughout the maze
You know what it is, unbearable pain
But you’re due some better days.

Change

Oh you know that,
The odds are in your favor now
It’s getting so bad,
So hard to trust in anyone
But eventually you’ll see
You will soon be breaking free
You can have it your own way
Just hold out for better days!
Better days, there’s better days
Sometimes so hard to see thru the haze
We know what it is, unbearable pain
But we gotta hold out for
Better days, there’s better days
Always a rat race throughout the maze
We know what it is, unbearable pain
But we’re due some better days.

Audubon
Written by: Rikk Roxx

To the lady who lives in Audubon
I want to take you into my arms
And tell you, how you make me feel.
I don’t claim to understand
I’m just a simple man
It’s a fantasy, I wish would become real

Literally from your very first glance
My heart jumped up and did a quick dance
When our eyes met, I swear our souls met too.
It didn’t seem very fair
That I couldn’t approach you there
I knew that day, I’d think of nothing but you.

Chorus

With patience and love I’ll seek my chance
To wrap us both into a true romance
Oh to run my fingers through your hair!
I’ll admire you from afar
Cast a wish at every star
When I close my eyes, you’re always standing there

Chorus

Lead

Your name is etched into my soul
I feel like time has no control
We were together once before, we’ll be again!
I don’t know how far we’ll go
But I’m willing to take it slow
‘Cause you are well worth waiting for my friend.

Chorus

Lead, out

Just Desserts
Written by: Rikk Roxx
You seem to think I'm inherently evil
I look at you much the same as well
So few to ruin so much for all others
You've certainly made your reservations in hell
All who would think you are a just martyr
The foolish lot with brainwashed minds
What do they think you've really accomplished?
World-wide disgrace for Palistine

Bin Laden, Ya got him?
Tear his head off and dump down his neck
Bin Laden, Ya got him?
Feed his a** to some swine in Uzbek-istan
Bin Laden, Ya got him?
His way of politics is defective
Bin Laden, Ya got him?
The devil awaits, Osama, he's calling your name next

You can't just tear at the fabric of freedom
Expect us to bend to your will, well you're wrong
You won't divide the indivisible
Caves will only hide your a** for so long ..

Chorus
he's calling your name next
he's calling your name next
he's calling your name next (repeat and fade to end)

Dead End
Written by: Rikk Roxx

Maybe it’s not quite

Deserving a long fight

Yes I was hooked from the start

But now with some hindsight

I’m seeing you were right

You’d never do justice to my heart

Such a surprise

That look in your eyes

Did you expect me to take much more pain?

Waiting for you

To see what I knew

No one else could make you feel the same

But off we go, down a different road

Cause we must really part ways my friend

I don’t know, which way you should go

But you’re about to hit a dead end.

Yeah off we go, taking separate roads

Oh, You won’t need to complain again

I’ll take your advice

Since your heart is like ice

And you’re about to hit a dead end

Yeah you’re about to hit a dead end

Don’t think I will blame you

You do what you will do

Your actions speak out more than words

I’m not some convenience

You’ve used up your last chance

It’s time for kicking to the curb

So off we go, down different roads

Cause we must really part ways my friend

I don’t know, which way you should go

But you’re about to hit a dead end.

Yeah off we go, taking separate roads

Oh, You won’t need to complain again

You won't look ahead

Isn't that what you said

And you’re about to hit a dead end

Yeah you’re about to hit a dead end.

Akeley, Minnesota
Written By: Rikk Roxx

There was some talk but there ain’t a stoplight yet

I guess you could say it’s smaller than Mayberry

You’ll pay quite a bit for high-speed Internet

But a prettier town, you never did see

You want to go shopping, you’ll have to drive a spell

But just enjoy all the scenery

They say if you can make it in New York you’ll make it anywhere

Well I’d say the same right here, living in Akeley

Living in Akeley Minnesota

Where legends are born and never die

Living in Akeley Minnesota

Among the woods, the lakes, and a star-lit sky

A hell of a place to live but not to visit

Cause you always know you won’t wanna leave

But take that picture with Paul, go ahead and sit

The clock seems to run a little slower, here in Akeley

Chorus

Now the Yodelin’ Swede’s is gone but the Muni’s there

They do karaoke every Saturday night

There’s no velvet rope, no cover and not a care

Till that one a**hole wants to go and start another fight

Chorus
Chorus
Spoken, one side of phone conversation:
Hey, you going to Bunyans or T&M?
What do you say we hit Winners Caf� or the Brauhaus?
Or the VFW, that’s kewl. Yeah..
Ok, I..
Yeah, we’ll be going right by the hardware and grocery stores,
I wanted to check out the show times for the Woodtick.

Destiny’s Power
Written By: Rikk Roxx

Day by day, our lives keep slipping away

Hour by hour, we feel the grip of destiny’s power

And wouldn’t it be a shame, if that’s all you did

What you’ve already done?

What would you rearrange to say that you’ve lived,

You’re not fooling anyone (cuz)

Day by day, our lives keep slipping away

Hour by hour, the sun sets on every flower

Minute by minute, every thought seems to have you in it

Second by second, a token smile is never neglected

What makes you think we can wait, our time is a gift

But not for too long.

To look back from some further date, you’d see what we missed

But that can’t be undone (cuz)

Day by day, our lives keep slipping away

Hour by hour, the sun sets on every flower


(Can’t deny destiny’s power)
(Can’t deny destiny’s power)
(Can’t deny destiny’s power)

Alone

Written By: Rikk Roxx
Well I hear you
When you call me- but what can I say?
And I see you
I picture your smile every day
When you’re alone, you think you’re alone but you’re not
When it gets cold, I would warm you if given a shot
When you’re alone, I want to wipe all your fears away
When you’re alone.. Oh...
You’re not alone!
You’re not alone!
You’re not alone!

When the rain falls
The storm clouds start darkening your skies
And you feel like
The whole world is just passing you by

-chorus-

If you miss me
Call my name and I’m right there with you
What you can’t see
Doesn’t have to be not true

-chorus-

When you’re alone, you think you’re alone but you’re not
You’re not alone!

Northwoods Nights
Written By: Rikk Roxx

A loon call pierces through the crimson sky

The crackling firewood sends it's breath to tower high

The waves upon the shore, the rhythm of the tide

At home with nature for a short time undenied

Oh those northwoods summer nights

Oh those northwoods summer nights

The winds turn colder, rainbow trees begin their life

And slowly green does fade, the V's up in the sky

A crisp fog moves in to blanket all the morning eyes

The evolution of the seasons undenied

Oh those northwoods autumn nights

Oh those northwoods autumn nights

And I remember those days, getting so far away

I remember those days and those nights

Oh now why can't I stay, just live from day to day

In my northwoods escape- and live life

Oh those northwoods nights

Oh those northwoods nights

The chill has set in now, the snow is piled high

A snapping fireplace and steaming apple cider

Jack Frost will visit now and then with a new design

The evolution of the seasons undenied

Oh those northwoods winter nights

Oh those northwoods winter nights

- chorus -

Starting over again, the world opens it's eyes

Warming sunlight and the rains nurture from high

A lush energy starts buzzing green alive

The evolution of the seasons undenied

Oh those northwoods springtime nights

Oh those northwoods springtime nights

- chorus -
