We are seldom fully contented, We may have this cross to bear, Where elation meets disaster, You can always find us there, Yes our wisdom holds the secret, Our foolishness the key, We are architects of innocence, Delinquents of prestige, Don't hold us...

Julie's gone, Jackie's gone, Carol's gone, where has she gone? Melanie Still Hurts Sarah's gone, Karen's gone, Michelle has gone, where has she gone? Flyin' high above the clouds, Driftin' in my reverie, All the time gone by does she remember me, R...

I've seen the moonlit lake, The brown leaves blown across the way, I've seen the icy black November, I've seen the meadow & the stoplight up in front of me, I've seen some things I can't remember... I'm a motorcycle rider that's what I am, I'm a mot...
