Foolish King

FOOLISH KING - Written by Carroll Bryant


I sit high upon my throne
Missing my lovely queen
So scared, so alone
Life don't mean a thing

A warrior came and took her away
I couldn't convince the girl to stay
It's all my fault
I will take the blame

Foolish king

The sun won't shine in the kingdom
Without my lovely queen
I want to just get up and run
Hunt her down until eternity

A warrior came and took her away
I couldn't convince the girl to stay
It's all my fault
I will take the blame

Foolish king

The pain reaches down to the center of my soul
Over my lovely queen
My mind confused
I don't know where to go
To find her, and bring her back to me

A warrior came and took her away
I couldn't convince the girl to stay
It's all my fault
I will take the blame

Such a foolish king

And life don't mean a thing
Without my lovely queen
I'm a foolish thing

Foolish king

Tomorrow's Just A Dream

TOMORROW'S JUST A DREAM - Written by Carroll Bryant


Tomorrow's just a dream
Yesterday is just a memory
Tomorrow's just a dream
Today is our reality 
Nothing was ever promised to us
We take for granted what might not ever be
And that's tomorrow
And tomorrow's just a dream

Love is just a dream
Trust is just a memory
Love is a just a dream
Hate is our reality
Nothing was ever promised to us
We take for granted things we try but can not see
And that's love
And love is just a dream

Life is just a dream
Living is a memory
Life is just a dream
Death is our reality
Nothing was ever promised to us
We take for granted the air in which we breathe
And it's tomorrow
And it's love
And it's life
And it's all just a dream

Tomorrow is a dream
Tomorrow is a dream

So dream with me

Thief In The Night

THIEF IN THE NIGHT - Written by Carroll Bryant


It's so unusual the way you think
You're just looking for a one night stand
Go to a bar and drink, drink, drink
You're so choosy for a good looking man

And feelings don't matter much to you
You just do what you want to do

Just like a thief 
A thief in the night
You don't care if it's wrong or if it's right
By the time the morning comes
Baby, you're gone
Just like a thief
A thief in the night
It's just casual to you
Because baby, when it's over, you're through

You're so vicious the way you bite
Take a piece of a heart that's willing to die
Go find a place to share a night, night, night
Turning your lovers into a sacrifice

Because feelings don't matter much to you
You just do what you want to do

Just like a thief 
A thief in the night
You don't care if it's wrong or if it's right
By the time the morning comes
Baby, you're gone
Just like a thief
A thief in the night
It's just casual to you
Because baby, when it's over, you're through

 It's one victim after another
Running for cover
You hide from a restless heart

It's one thing after another
There can't be another
Love only tears you apart

You're a girl hiding from her shame
You live with no name
It's all just a crazy game

And you do it for the sake of one
You're the only one for you

It's so unusual the way you think
You're just looking for a one night stand
Go to a bar and drink, drink, drink
You're so choosy for a good looking man

And feelings don't matter much to you
You just do what you want to do

Just like a thief 
A thief in the night
You don't care if it's wrong or if it's right
By the time the morning comes
Baby, you're gone
Just like a thief
A thief in the night
It's just casual to you
Because baby, when it's over, you're through

After The Blast

AFTER THE BLAST - Written by Carroll Bryant


What is it going to be like after the blast?
I wonder
Who is going to survive?
Who is going to go under?

There are stars in the sky
Let's keep them burning bright
Let us not pollute ourselves
With particles of a nuclear fight
Build our hearts, minds and souls real strong
Let's try and forsake the mental mistakes
From a time that will last for so long

What is it going to be like after the blast?
I wonder
Who is going to survive?
Who is going to go under?

Politicians love to talk
Their money speaks, but their bullshit walks
Contradicting laws and rules
We take the fall while we pity the fools
Seek the wisdom of unknown origin
Original conspiracies from pale faced oranges
So shall we soon all die by the hands of their words

Broken promises from broken hearts 
And corruption of broken minds

What is it going to be like after the blast?
I wonder
Who is going to survive?
Who is going to go under?

Name Of The Game

NAME OF THE GAME - Written by Carroll Bryant


You look so sexy baby, what do you say?
What would it take for you to look my way?
You got me burning red hot for you
Let's get together for a midnight review

Don't tell me about the love that didn't work before
Just come to me and I will open the door

That's the name of the game
The game called love
That's the name of the game
And I can't get enough
That's the name of the game

The game called love

Take a chance and I won't break your heart
You and me tonight is a damn good start
Don't you worry about what we'll do
One plus one always works out to two

Don't ask any questions anymore
Just come to me and I will tell you what for

That's the name of the game
The game called love
That's the name of the game
And I can't get enough
That's the name of the game

The game called love

I'm gonna take you down
Roll your eyes into the back of your head
I'm gonna take you down
Make you scream to wake up the dead

I'm gonna take you down

You look so sexy baby, what do you say?
What would it take for you to look my way?
You got me burning red hot for you
Let's get together for a midnight taboo

Don't you worry about the score
Just give me the chance to open the door

That's the name of the game
The game called love
That's the name of the game
And I can't get enough
That's the name of the game

The game called love

The Late Great Planet Earth

THE LATE GREAT PLANET EARTH - Written by Carroll Bryant


I can see an image
It's coming clear in my mind
With love and understanding
There will be no end of time

I am putting out a message
But will anybody hear?
With true words of wisdom
We should live outside the fear

Just walk up to your brother
And tell him, "I love you"
Put your faith in Jesus
And all good dreams will come true

Seek and ye shall find humanity and peace
Doeth and thou shalt have it
Humanity and peace

Governments continue to strip us of our rights
How can you spell freedom 
If freedom isn't willing to fight?

We are talking about power that no government should have
We are talking about life itself
To live, to love, and to laugh 

Will you help me with this vision?
Will you help my voice to be heard?
To try and keep the nations from destroying 
The late great planet Earth

Because I can see an image

A Million Dreams

A MILLION DREAMS - Written by Carroll Bryant


So you say you've been through so much 
And that you could write a book
You talk like you're not going to give your life a second look
I know you're thinking that you're not going to make it
You come to me this way claiming that you can't take it
But you're going to love a million lovers
You're going to cry a million tears
You're going to suffer a million heartaches
And it's going to seem like a millliion years
Just keep on screaming when it seems too hard
And keep on believing in a million dreams

So you say that you have a vision
Of a love that you're hoping to find
And you need to take some time in so you can find your mind
What good does it do to simply throw it all away?
And what good can tomorrow be if you won't listen to me?
That you're going to love a million lovers
You're going to cry a million tears
You're going to suffer a million heartaches
And it's going to seem like a million years
Just keep on screaming when it seems too hard
And keep on believing in a million dreams

Go ahead and get the things your heart truly wants
Go ahead and take that dare for a thing we like to call love
The worst thing that could happen 
Is that you'll be where you are now
Tomorrow is your captain to the new day
Don't throw your heart away

Try and find a way because

You're going to love a million lovers
You're going to cry a million tears
You're going to suffer a million heartaches
It's going to seem like a million years
Just keep on screaming when life seems to get so hard
Keep discovering your heart

Keep believing in ... a million dreams

Dancer (The Poem)

DANCER (THE POEM) - Written by Carroll Bryant


Dance my primitive dancer
Blow out the flame that flickers within
I have no meaning to give you
So take what others leave behind
Bottle up your emotions
And put them with mine
Inside a transparent heart

Do not fear me and my intentions
For I do mean well
But fear yourself
For you have your own control
And the power to lose it

Dancer, you move swiftly, but have no design
Or plan to follow in order to gain consistency 
Follow me and you no longer shall move so swift
And I will become an enemy to your love

I am unconsciously selfish yet, I mean you no harm
Then again, do not we all?

Show It To Me

SHOW IT TO ME - Written by Carroll Bryant


You modestly say that you do all right
When deep down inside girl, you need love for the night
You hide it inside girl, your feelings don't show
But I read your eyes and I think that I know

You're just so beautiful
And I want what I see
You have an "A" one body
Anybody can see

Show it to me baby, show it to me
Oh stop stalling, stop wasting time
Show it to me baby, show it to me
You show me yours baby, I'll show you mine

Do you honestly think you're the greatest thing?
If that is so girl, then please think again
I have to admit though, you're hotter than hell
You're wild in bed girl, and that I can tell

Please spare me my sanity
Stop shaking it in front of me
In just a minute I'll be going crazy
Because I want what I see

Show it to me baby, show it to me
Oh stop stalling, stop wasting time
Show it to me baby, show it to me
You show me yours baby, I'll show you mine

You modestly say that you do all right
When deep down inside girl, you need love for the night
You hide it inside girl, your feelings don't show
But I read your eyes and I think that I know

Please stop playing games with me
And get straight to the point, you see
If you want to go make love
We can make it endlessly

Show it to me baby, show it to me
Oh stop stalling, stop wasting time
Show it to me baby, show it to me
You show me yours baby, I'll show you mine

You Can't Escape Me

YOU CAN'T ESCAPE ME - Written by Carroll Bryant


I can see when you walk around town
Something or someone is on your mind
You broke us up and now you're feeling down
You're not talk, talk, talking about it
I told you baby, it was a matter of time

You can't escape me
I am a living thing
This pain won't break me
Only shake me
You know I can't believe 
That you're too blind to see
You can't escape me
No, you can't escape me

Your distant eyes no longer shine brightly
Do you think that you made a big mistake?
My kind of love should not be taken lightly
You're not talk, talk, talking about it
I told you once about the give and the take

You can't escape me
I am a living thing
This pain won't break me
Only shake me
You know I can't believe 
That you're too blind to see
You can't escape me
No, you can't escape me

Everyday and the hurt was too much
Every night and I longed for your touch
My love and you held it all against me
This sour feeling wouldn't let me be

I can see when you walk around town
I know that I am always on your mind
You broke us up now you're feeling down
You're not talk, talk, talking about it
I told you baby, it was a matter of time

You can't escape me
I am a living thing
This pain won't break me
Only shake me
You know I can't believe 
That you're too blind to see
You can't escape me
No, you can't escape me

Help Me See The Light

HELP ME SEE THE LIGHT - Written by Carroll Bryant


When the midnight falls and the night creatures crawl
I get scared
And all through that time no comfort I find
Just despair

Though the world keeps revolving
I still seek for wisdom
Is it just anthropology of my past?
These emotions inside, how long will they last?

I keep on crying
I keep on trying
Even though I know it's not right
I keep on believing
Anticipating
Could someone please help me tonight?
Help me see the light

When the morning breaks and the day creatures wake
I'm alone
And all through the moment I think of tomorrow
But it's gone

Separation is a struggle
Knowledge of a heartbreak exists
Is it just astrology of my life?
Why do I insist on the pain and the strife?

I keep on crying
I keep on trying
Even though I know it's not right
I keep on believing
Anticipating
Could someone please help me tonight?
Help me see the light

I'm blinded

Wishes are just pennies in a fountain
Somebody else gets rich off the trick
Is there another biological specimen running around also hurting and sick?

I keep on crying
I keep on trying
Even though I know it's not right
I keep on believing
Anticipating
Could someone please help me tonight?
Help me see the light

One Crazy Summer

ONE CRAZY SUMMER - Written by Carroll Bryant


"Wow, it sure is cold outside. Man, look at it snow. It's going to be one of those chilly nights. I think I'll just relax in my recliner, right in front of the fireplace. Yeah, that's the ticket. I'm so comfortable. This is one of those nights when you get that cozy feeling, makes you wish you had a girl with you, and a cheap bottle of whiskey. What's that? You don't have a girl? Well, don't feel too bad my friend because I don't have one either. I used to have one though. A very special girl she was indeed. The kind that makes the hairs stand up on the back of your neck. She is so sexy. Yeah, I'm thinking about her now. Oh, but what the hell, she's gone now, but she was mine in the summertime, I tell ya. Not mine no more, no sir. One thing's for certain though ..... it was one hell of a .... summer!"


She was a beauty queen, such a lady
They way she walked, they way she talked
Drove me crazy
Love was a special game we were playing
In the fire nights I still remember

It was one crazy summer
Oh what a bummer
Because now it's over
Will there ever be another crazy summer?

We made our moves, winners and losers
We didn't care
We had our share
Belly boozers
Passion was beautiful in the dark nights
Two little rascals, I still remember

It was one crazy summer
Oh what a bummer
Because now it's over
Will there ever be another crazy summer?

David Lee was going crazy from the heat
Miami Vice was hitting the streets
Prince with Revolution was dancing to the beat
Top Gun the movie had them sitting in their seats

Lady Madonna surprised us with True Blue
I fell in love with her
I know that you did too
The legend of Rod Stewart proved he wasn't through
Rap man Mr. Falco had his say so too

I still remember all that went around
Most of my memories was when I laid that woman down
All of my crazy friends were lost in party town
Everyone was dancing to the Nu Shooze new wave sound

I still remember 
It was one crazy summer
Oh what a bummer
Because now it's over
And I wonder
Will there ever be another crazy summer?


"Well, I'm just going to throw another log into the fire then get drunk. I might pass out, wake up and get drunk again. Have a good one, winter that is. See you next summer."

It was one crazy summer
Oh, what a bummer because now it's over
And I wonder, will there ever be another ... crazy summer?

Night People

NIGHT PEOPLE - Written by Carroll Bryant


Night people
You want to know what they're doing
Night people
Always have something brewing
Night people
Always have something going down
So if you want to find out
Baby got to get out
And hit the town

Don't want to spend the night alone
Electricity runs through your bones
Feel it in the chilly air
Take flight to that jungle out there
Curiosity like a cat
Out once again
You might not come back - by yourself
Your newest friend
Then tomorrow night
You'll want to do it all again

Night people
You want to know what they're doing
Night people
Always have something brewing
Night people
Always have something going down
So if you want to find out
Baby got to get out
And hit the town

Take a look outside your door
Don't take a bite
You'll want more
More of love from a stranger
Pay no heed to all the danger
Hop in your car and down the road
Your better judgement has been sold
You're too young and growing old
You just want to know
You just want to learn
You just have to understand it
You just want the night and the night people

Night people
You want to know what they're doing
Night people
Always have something brewing
Night people
Always have something going down
So if you want to find out
Baby got to get out
And hit the town

Spirit Of The King

SPIRIT OF THE KING - Written by Carroll Bryant


If I never get to tell you that I love you
Before I die
Please forgive me
I'm only human
And I pray the best I can

No I could never, never ever treasure
Any other kind of love that he can only bring
My heart will sing for the spirit of the king

Sometimes I'm happy, sometimes I'm sad
No matter what happens I know it's not that bad
Life don't mean a thing without the spirit of the king

No I could never, never ever treasure
Any other kind of love that he can only bring
My heart will sing for the spirit of the king

I lay myself down in dirty waters
In hopes that my soul will be cleansed
The rush of emotion that gathers
The touch of his hand, the wind

My friend
No I shall never, never ever treasure
Any other kind of love that he can only bring
Love is just a thing
And life is what he brings
My heart and soul will sing
For the spirit of the king

Praise thee my Lord
Praise the spirit of the king

Ashes To Ashes

ASHES TO ASHES - Written by Carroll Bryant


Drink your champagne 
I don't care
Talk in foreign 
I'm a bum
It don't matter anyway
You're reaching for something
How come?

When they lay you down
You're just bones
Ashes to ashes 
Dust to dust
You're alone

Memories are yours and mine

See that lady and that man?
Walk in rhythm 
Stay in stride
It's so crazy anyway
When deep inside
They want to run

When they lay you down
You're just bones
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
You're alone

Memories are your and mine

Eat your caviar
Does it taste so good?
Live in luxury
You're a God
Time will come anyway
You're wishing for something
How come?

When they lay you down
You're just bones
Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
You're alone

Memories are your and mine
