Say It With the Night Words and music by Paul K. Schneider Bottle of wine And a sunset view Got my guitar And you… Air so fine In this dream come true The sky puts on Her evening hues Back of my mind Those words from you You’d find a way to say The time was right for you And you don’t have to tell me You’re saying it with your eyes Something tells me The time could be just Right…. Now… No, don’t tell me Say It With the Night There’s a first time For everything For sips of wine And songs we sing Secret signs On wordless wings I hear your mind I let the notes ring And you don’t have to tell me You’re saying it with your eyes Something tells me The time could be just right…. Now… No, don’t tell me Say It With the Night

Always Now Words and music by Paul K. Schneider Saw you in a dream Baby, what does it mean? Shimmer, glimmer, gleam Maybe it’s what it seems Floating in between Islands in a stream And I Will always need you now I will always need, always need you I will always need you now I will always need you, always need you Now Time is passing by Baby, can we try Laughing as we cry Singing as we sigh And as we learn to fly Love will bring wind to our wings And I Will always need you now I will always need, always need you I will always need you now I will always need you, always need you Now And I wasn’t born yesterday And I know there’s a price to pay Just give me one chance to say These words from the heart It’s a start And I Will always need you now I will always need, always need you I will always need you now I will always need you, always need you Now

Tornado Words and Music by Paul K. Schneider Somewhere I hear you crying You’ve lost your home again And there is no denying You’re on your own, my friend Remember when your dreams were in Day-Glo And all your thoughts were free Now you’re dancing in the eye of a tornado Endlessly Oh, no, don’t beg for mercy From gods who’ve shown you none You know they’re in no hurry Laughing, they watch you run Remember when your dreams were in Day-Glo And all your thoughts were free Now you’re dancing in the eye of a tornado Endlessly What’s to be? None can see Caught up within the whirlwind Hearing its demon song Slowly, the sad truth sinks in This was home all along… Remember when your dreams were in Day-Glo And all your thoughts were free Now you’re dancing in the eye of a tornado Endlessly What’s to be? None can see Infinity I, of the tornado I, of the tornado I, of the tornado I, of the tornado

Schneider Water Sign Woman Take me down where your feelings are flowers In the shining sun Minutes are years and days are like hours Summertime Drink sun like wine Butterfly Girl Willing your wings to take you higher Window on the world Panorama Surrounding, entire Morning sky It calls you, fly And its Love that takes us there In the air, everywhere Kiss the wind we sail on Bahia Amor Water sign woman Into your eyes I dive the splendor Could you be the one? Turning into what both surrender Summertime Drink sun like wine And its Love that takes us there In the air, everywhere Kiss the wind we sail on Bahia Amor

Funkalypse Words and music by Paul K. Schneider Heard it on the TV, saw it on the radio Gave me heebie-jeebirs, looks like there’s no way to slow This freight train, heading off a cliff Gonna escape into a riff To cope with Armegeddon, I’m gonna do some sheddin’ Let the music play, and live another day They bringin’ on the Funkalypse Oh no! They bringin’ on the Funkalypse Oh yeah…. Don’t call it denial, people need to smile If the news is making you sick, listen to some music Lose your Doomsday trips In the Funkalypse! They bringin’ on the Funkalypse Oh no! They bringin’ on the Funkalypse Oh yeah….
