Like A Top
Love From a Distance
Burnt Bridge
Like a Top – Mark Urso
She still spins around!
Like she’s gonna be comin’ off the ground
Like a top in a world of sound
Can’t stop can’t flop can’t drop be bop
She goes ’round like a wheel
Spinnin’ like the world is on her heel
She’ll beg borrow or steal
But she’s comin’ home nonstop be bop
She’s spinnin’ in the air
I’m stayin’ right here ain’t goin’ nowhere
I think she’s never e-ver gon-na stop
I wanna hear her bump the air be bop
Don’t you please ever ever STOP be bop
… I got holes in my socks
But I ain’t runnin’ away
I’ll just spin around … like a top!
I haven’t used my brain in days!
I get used to just feelin’ my way!
I wanna motor ’round the world …
I’ll meet you at the boat at the dock!
Gonna find myself a way
It ain’t that hard I got a feelin’ anyway
So when you wanna go find a decent spot to play
We can take the subway to the city and go swimmin’ with the sharks
Don’t you please ever ever STOP be bop
… I got holes in my socks
But I ain’t runnin’ away
I’ll just spin around … like a top!
She still spins around!
Like she’s gonna be comin’ off the ground
Like a top in a world of sound
Can’t stop can’t flop can’t drop be bop
Don’t you please ever ever STOP be bop
… I got holes in my socks
But I ain’t runnin’ away
I’ll just spin around … like a top!

Love From A Distance – Mark Urso
You know I love you – that’s all I’m gonna say!
After all it could never happen … anyway …
You’re not afraid – you don’t back away
You look so beautiful watchin’ me play!
And I think you’re lookin’ through your hair
I think I’ve never seen such an intentional stare
You ’n me are gonna have to love from a distance
It’s ok with me if it’s just a few inches
It’s a full moon tonight; wanna go out get tight
Just being near you I’m havin’ the time of my life!
Do that thing with your eyes and your lips and your hair
Oh No! – Oh-oh! … gettin’ caught in a stare!
You got me by the neck holdin’ me down on the floor
And all you gotta do is walk in the door …
You ’n me are gonna have to love from a distance
It’s ok with me if it’s just a few inches
I want to be a perfect gentleman
All I wanna do is hold your hand!
I can’t get in your head but I wish I could know
Are you thinking nice things … I sure hope so!
I don’t even wanna find-out all the way
I just wanna have an angel always in play!
You ’n me are gonna have to love from a distance
It’s ok with me if it’s just a few inches
There’s a rainbow in my sky and it ain’t rainin’ do’no why
Got my ruler I can see, we can move an inch or three!
Can I just whisper in your ear
Come closer, sugar, so you can hear
You know I love you – that’s all I’m gonna say!
After all it could never happen … anyway!

Burnt Bridge – Mark Urso
If I had one more thing to say
And didn’t feel so burnt
I stopped somewhere along the way
Silence speaks I learnt
Rock my heart, mirrors and smoke
You’re a work of art and so’s the bloke
Over and over time and again
Now count to ten ’n say amen
Burn bridges burn, gravity is the law
No road to recover, no fun any more
You’ve taken an island, or did it take you
I guess it depends on your angle of view
While your heart it melts away
If I had one more thing to say
Scorn and envy ’till you die
If I were dumb enough to try
Sky high burn, oh burn your bridge!
The town the government too!
Why stop now, the bridges going back
Are high with flames you threw
I can see, just follow along
And keep it up, ‘cause I know I’m not wrong
I can see you in a song
With an angel’s wings and a monster’s horns!
Burn your bridge and burn it good
Filled with gasoline and wood
Wood straight from the family tree
Smoke so thick that you can’t see
Burn bridge burn, gravity is in store
No road to recover, no fun any more
Never any telling what you might do
It’s all for nothing without a clue!
