Appaloosa, runnin' wild in the dead of the night
Appaloosa, you're the message of love and light

Apparitions, they grow wild in the plains of my mind
I get visions of the mountain that I must climb

Freedom ain't no illusion
A truth no money can buy

Feelin' light and low
Like nothin I've felt before
My woman is black, but now she's blue
And I'm wonderin just what to do
(the day is new)

A motor-city love affair
In the heat of the night

It's a crazy life, a hazy life, a mixed up jumbled phasy life
A crazy life for people who want to smile
I just don't understand, why so hard to say 'Hello' before 'Goodbye'

It's a coo coo life, a lulu life, a moody magic voodoo life
A coo coo life for people who want to love
I just don't understand, why so green that it's been hang-ups day to day
I gotta pack up get away

For your love
When I think about those nights in Montreal
I get the sweetest thoughts of you and me
Memories of love above the city lights
Ooh, I tried so hard to take it
But oh Lord my heart won't make it

I just wanna stop

In my life
I've felt so self assured
But suddenly it's all changed
She's a cloud, that hangs above my world
And I find myself wond'ring in the rain
And now I can't go on

'Cause I am lost

Mira la linea de la vida asì cortada
En la palma de mi mano
Y la sangre que corre dentro de mis venas
Implacable sentencia mi pròxima fin

Cuidate mujer y alejate de mi
Que nuestro amor naciò
Bajo de una luna mala

I sleep at night
On a cloud high on the horizon
And when I close my eyes
My soul is struck by lightning
Then I sleep at night
Like a storm

Oh, I walk the night

People come on and do it right
Shake your behinds like dynamite
Chuck all your worries and toss your thighs
To be tame is a pain when you realize

You gotta move
People gotta move

Look at the powerful people
Stealing the sun from the day
Wish I could do something about it
When all I can do is pray

It's a lonely afternoon
With nowhere to go but my room
And Sunday when there's time

Put the weight on my shoulders
Take the load off of your mind
Cause the headwinds that blow
Will fade away in time

Rest yourself on my waters
Take the lifeline from me
Rise above what has passed

You been laying it on the line
Too much fat to burn
You been stuck on a course
While the world around you turns
You been out in the rain

Jack my friend, he's a busy man
Trying to hustle an easy buck instead of a good man's dollar
Oh Jack my buddy he's so goddamn full of money
Workin' for a funny company for his father
He got a black satin shirt best you could buy
And a big fat straw hat to match his white tie
And a shiny thirty-eight that'll look you straight in your eye
Jack miraculous he was a' sure spectaculous

If I could choose
I'd calm this dawn
But the storm is me insensible and free
Now that you know I've come here to go
You're suddenly sad you've been mine

Oh how the lust for love is blind
Now that you see the man that is me

The Measure of a Man

Music & Lyrics: Gino Vannelli

No, you can’t judge a man
By the color of his skin
You can’t rate his cool
By the scruff on his chin

Russian blue, yeah russian blue
Like sapphire in the sun
She taunted me so tenderly
What speck of logic I possess
Was hard on the run

I begged myself, don't give an inch
Don't wrestle with them eyes

Don’t want no marble statue smooth and cold as ice
Not some man-made goddess custom cut and spliced
Don’t need no great big set of charms to tempt my heart (oh no)
Prefer the feel of something real over plastic art
Well Aphrodite’s got grace but she ain’t the face I know and I love
‘Cause I got blood in these veins while she’s some spooky dame
Lost in the heavens above

Where am I going
Have I gone too far
Have I lost my mind
Where are my eyes
Oh have I seen too much
Have I lost my touch
Losing directions from growing infections
Poisoned desires of reaping life so young
