Cash from Nigeria
© Eva Moon, arr. Tym Parsons, hip-hop tracks, Josiah Blount
I was broke. Ya know I had no dough
But an email saved my soul
Man says he’s got 40 mil
Needs my help, if I will
Wants to use my U.S. clout
To help him get the money out
If I consent to represent
I get 25 percent.
Cash cash cash from Nigeria
Cash cash cash from Nigeria
I’m gonna be a millionairia
With the cash from Nigeria!
I hear what you’re thinking, honey,
What’s she gonna do with all that money?
I’ll copy any DVD
Descramble my digital cable TV
Be my own boss. Get out of debt
That online casino will get my bet
Lose 30 pounds in 30 days
Get down with that hormone craze
Stock advice that wins awards
Iraq’s most wanted playing cards
My libido will increase
With herbal secrets from the east
And I’ll get me a bona fide
Russian mail order bride
Cash cash cash from Nigeria…
Don’t need to use my imagination
Gotta inbox full of inspiration
Prozac! Xanax! Vicodin!
Viagra! Zoloft! Phentermine!
I guarantee a shopping spree
At the online pharmacy
Learn anything ‘bout anyone
Get a credit report just for fun
A PHD from QVC
HGH for my friends 'n me
Been approved for a new home loan
And low, low rates on a new cell phone
Buy a load of ink jet toner
And add five inches to my… what???
Run Away with Me
© Eva Moon
Run away with me. We’ll join a rebel band
Hide out in the woods beyond the borderland
You’ll grow a black moustache and set the night ablaze
I’ll wear a bandolier and a smoky, dark-eyed gaze
Leave it all behind and run away with me
Mmm, run away with me
Run away with me. We’ll join a pirate crew
Terrorize the merchant ships on the briny blue
You’ll wear a golden ring and tall boots on your feet
I’ll dance beneath the stars with a dagger in my teeth
Leave it all behind...
Run away with me. We’ll join a caravan
Live on dates and honey all the way to Samarkand
Dressed in tattered silk and aphrodesiac perfume
Of cinnamon and gunpowder beneath a watching moon
Never tell a soul why we ran away
They won’t know where to look or how long we’ll stay
They find our empty nest but don’t know where we’ve gone
But you and I just smile and turn our camels toward the sun
Leave it all behind...
Monsoon
© Eva Moon
Clouds like gray flowers, bloom in the air
Trees are growing restless, they shake their silver hair
The sound of distant thunder echoes in your chest
The mercury is falling. There’s no time to rest.
You’re getting out the sand bags. Laying in supplies
Brewing pots of coffee and peering at the sky.
Whatcha gonna do when the sky breaks open?
Whatcha gonna do when the monsoon starts?
Run to high ground when I finally break open
You’re gonna drown from what’s inside my heart.
It’s been a long, dry season, but that’s about to change
I’m ready for the deluge, I’m aching for the rain
I’m a Tesla coil, the air around me arcs
We don’t have to touch to be shocked by the sparks
I’m done with holding back. Drought’s about to end
The size of this storm I don’t think you comprehend
One drop hits the sidewalk – but one is just the start
I can’t stop this monsoon when it gets outside my heart.
Whatcha gonna do...
Switcheroo
© Eva Moon
I had no idea when you told me
Explaining just how nature made a glitch
You have been the man in my life
Now you want to make a little switch
You said you were born to be a woman
Couldn’t keep pretending anymore
Now you’re ready for an alteration
Gotta let the world know the score
Gonna make an all-out transformation
Gonna pull a total switcheroo
It is just a little operation
But, Honey, what a different point of view
What a mixed-up situation. What am I to do?
Will this be the termination of my love for you?
Can I make the adaptation, start my life anew
Face the possibility of my own switcheroo?
Everybody thinks that we’re insane
But we just hang on tight as life unfurls
Though I’ve lost a man I can’t complain
It’s more fun to hang out with the girls.
Gonna make an all-out transformation...
Tango de Cacao
© Eva Moon
When first I saw you in the window
You caught my eye and called me in
Was it fate that drew me to you
Into this candy story of sin?
Beneath your surface smooth and dark
Lies the promise of delight
I know to have you is my doom
But even so I'm yours tonight
I give in there is no cure
I can't resist your sweet allure
Without you I'm incomplete
Though our love is bittersweet
Let the longing fill my cup
I drink to you in steaming sips
You are my sweet forbidden love
Your candy kisses stain my lips
You are my favorite obsession
I think about you day and night
You are the singular expression
Of my helpless indiscretion
It's a force I cannot fight
Let them point at us and stare
As I revel in disgrace
Let them laugh, I don't care
I only want another taste!
I give in there is no cure...
Strategic Fit
© Eva Moon
I want a man who’s a market leader
Oozing assurance and dripping wit
I want a man with a balanced scorecard
Who wants to achieve a strategic fit
Supply my demand, I’ll deliver the goods
Meet in the middle and let it begin
Don’t even think of a hostile takeover
Let’s try a merger that’s win/win
You’re my target market
You’re driving the traffic
You’re my focus group
You’re my prime demographic
I want a man who’s on the same page
Willing to do some R&D
He’s not afraid to think outside the box
Not the type to go for plan B
I want substantial return on investment
I want a man who knows the right niche
Ready to sign a long term agreement
Won’t even think of the bait and switch
Looking to make a new acquisition
I’ve got an eye on the competition
Looking to maximize penetration
This is my value proposition
You’re my target market...
Swimming Upstream
© Eva Moon
What to do when the moon comes calling,
Beckoning from the autumn sky?
She feels the pull of the surging tide
Opens a window and swims outside
She drifts and dreams in the shimmering green
Swimming upstream, swimming upstream
Into a life that’s true and clean
Swimming upstream, ahhh...
Laundry drifts through dappled rooms
Seaweed of a sock or a robe
The moon is calling; she won’t be missed
The current is strong and she can’t resist
She swims and soars in the shimmering green
Swimming upstream, ahhh
Into a light that’s cool and clean
Swimming upstream, swimming upstream, Ahhh…
A fork on a plate, a cup in the sink
A window’s open, curtains afloat
She’s far away in a silent dream
Swimming toward a wavering beam
She dances and dives in the shimmering green
Swimming upstream, ahhh
Into a life that’s true and clean
Swimming upstream, ahhh
The moon is calling her children home
A siren call from the autumn sky
Dreams can grow in the surging tide
The world awaits and the sea is wide
She floats and flies in the shimmering green
Swimming upstream, ahhh
Into a light that’s cool and clean
Swimming upstream, swimming upstream, Ahhh…
Roadzilla
© Eva Moon
I said to my hubby let’s leave the city.
I’m losing my mind and it ain’t pretty
So we went on down to the RV dealer
to trade our home for a six-ton wheeler.
Didn’t like what we saw so we asked the guy
“Got anything in a larger size?”
He took us way out round to the rear
and said, whatcha think of Roadzilla here?
Roadzilla was a sight to behold.
Big as a mountain, shining like gold
She had everything you could wish
from a fireplace to a satellite dish.
The master suite filled us with awe.
We fell in love with the slide-out spa
And just in case of a coffee attack,
she’s got a Starbucks in the back.
Run! Run for cover.
There’s a monster on the highway
Save your children. Save your mother
Roadzilla’s coming your way
Who cares if she goes through barrels of gas,
is as big as a boat so no one can pass
Or is wanted by the EPA…
We bought Roadzilla and drove her away.
That RV rode like a battleship
whenever we took her out on a trip
The sight of her in the rear view mirror
is enough to make a man shake with fear.
We saw every sight there was to see
from the six-legged calf to the Mystery Trees
The Giant Chicken, the Frog Museum,
Roadzilla took us there to see ‘em.
We’d seen it all and were ready for home
but Roadzilla still had the urge to roam
She was running on empty & ready to roll
when she took over the cruise control…
We didn’t know what she would do
when the end of the road came into view
Roadzilla didn’t even slow.
We jumped out and watched her go…
Sometimes on a moonless night
when the air is cold and the stars are bright
You can hear Roadzilla’s engine race
she’s seeing the sights in outer space.
Run! Run for cover...
Dinosaur of Love
© Eva Moon
There’s a fire in Seattle. Greenlake is steaming
When I hold you in my arms I start Jurassic dreaming.
You are my bone man. Can’t get enough
You are my stone man. Dinosaur of love
You are my bone man. Bigger than T. Rex
And I’m gonna get me some of that Tyrannosaurus Sex
When you touch me I go wild. The Mountain blows its top
Palm trees grow on Denny and the Needle starts to rock
You are my bone man. Can’t get enough
You are my stone man Dinosaur of love
You are my bone man. Neolithic heart
And you know when we make love
We’re gonna shake this town apart
We’ll shake the coffee shops. Streets gonna clear.
I’m gonna make you happy for a hundred million years
I love you to extinction. Desire’s on the rise
You’ve got what it takes to keep me roaring to the skies
You are my stone man...
UPS Guy
© Eva Moon
It started in a simple way
An auction item on e-bay
Then I saw the man in brown
Park his truck and come on down
That's the day that was the start
He drove his truck into my heart
I hear the bell and I confess
I hope it's the man from UPS
I don't want priority mail
Fedex has gone stale
Don't give me Airborne Express
I want the guy from UPS
I was sure that I could stop
I don't even like to shop
But shopping is my guarantee
That he will come back to me
On the day he rang my bell
Did he know he cast a spell?
I can hardly wait to see
The package he has brought for me
I didn't mean for this to happen
Please try and understand
I couldn't help myself
I took his stylus in my hand
My heart was pounding
I went weak in the knees
When he looked into my eyes
And said, "Sign here, please."
Now I shop on Amazon
And browse all day on buy dot com
I'm on Yahoo! in excess
To see the guy from UPS
I don't want priority mail...
Dark Matter
© Eva Moon
If there is no end to stars that fill the night
Where does darkness come from?
There should be endless light.
There you sit across the room
You might as well be on the moon
Dusty space and silence clouds our sight
If our hearts are full of stars
Where’s the light that should be ours
Darkness comes between us.
Dust of Mars and Venus
Darkness comes between us.
Dust of Mars and Venus
Where we once found fire
There’s just the cold of space
Here’s my hand before you.
Let me touch your face
You and I know light is there
Darkness hides a burning core
All the lonely parsecs can’t erase.
We embrace the darkness like it
was the only way
Sweep away dark matter and
take back the light of day
Look at me with open eyes.
Endless light can fill the skies
If our hearts are full of stars...
Too Damn Happy
© Eva Moon
If it’s true that opposites attract
If negative and positive react
Then we’re a perfect match and that’s a fact
You like ribs and I want cheese souffle
You like beer and I want chardonnay
But we know how chase the blues away
Oh, we can fight and blow a fuse
There’s no one else that I would choose
‘Cause I’m too damn happy to sing the blues
You’re too hot when I’m about to freeze
Up all night when I wanna catch some z’s
But your sweet love can bring me to my knees.
I know you hate the way I back-seat drive
I know you get upset and count to five
But oh my Lord, I make you feel alive
Oh, we can fight and blow a fuse
But honey, you’re my favorite muse
‘Cause I’m too damn happy to sing the blues
Just when I think I’m about to blow
When you want to give me quid pro quo
That‘s when the good times really start to flow
You know me outside-in and inside-out
And even though I make you jump and shout
You still love me. That’s what it’s all about
Oh, we can fight and blow a fuse
But we must have paid our dues
‘Cause I’m too damn happy to sing the blues
Fly Away
© 2003 Lyrics: Eva Moon, music trad.
I remember leaving home
I heard tomorrow calling me
Poised for flight, I couldn't see
My mother's eyes watching me
Now my children look ahead
On the edge, they won't stay
And they don't look back at me
I wish them well and turn away
Seasons change and years go by
Children grow and summers die
Winter holds the seeds of spring
And the night surrenders to sunrise
I've left my former self behind
Her time is past, I won't delay
And I won't look back at her
I wish her well and turn away
Now I'm free to spread my wings
I hear tomorrow calling me
On the edge and poised for flight
I wish you well and fly away
