Night
Rider
copyright 1979
Robert
'One-Man' Johnson
I travel by the stars moonlight lights my way
/
I travel by the stars moonlight lights my way /
I'm a nightrider can't stand the light of day?When you ride by night you don't see where you been
/ When you ride by night you don't see where you been / So there's no regret when the passion passes on again
/ chorus: / I come sneakin', creepin' slippin, slidin' silently on my way
/ Gonna grip you, grab you, gonna stun you, gonna stab you / ‘Til the sun lights up the day
/ I'm a night rider you're never gonna see my face / Make no mistake...it was me,
/ I spent the evening at your place / You'll never see me when I
go sneakin' by / You'll never see me when I go sneakin' by / but you'll feel my touch know my mournful cry
/ chorus:

Poison love / Danger in the touch of Poison love / Caught within the clutches / No one thinks of safety first / Can't quite seem to quench their thirst
for poison love /Poison love /
People runnin' scared from Poison love / People in despair / It brings the world down to its knees / A one-track mind on the disease poison love
called Poison love /
Even young-in-heart find Poison love / Stopped before they've started / There's no way to ease the pain /
All to lose what can you gain? Poison love
Streamlined Baby
copyright 1988 Robert
'One-Man' Johnson
Baby is streamlined deadly to the touch
/ Baby is streamlined you can touch but not too much / Such a low coefficient of drag makes me do that rag, rag rag
/ Baby is streamlined skin as smooth as silk
/ Baby is streamlined sweet like malted milk
Such a low coefficient of drag / Makes me do the streamlined rag
/ Techni-co-logically she's state of the art
/ Aer-o-dynamically an arrow to my heart / Baby is streamlined every brick in place
/ Baby is streamlined like a ship from outer-space / Such a low coefficient of drag
/ Makes me do that rag, rag, rag / Top-i-co-graphically her contours are divine
/ Ecstatic electricity bout to make me lose my mind / Baby is streamlined skin as smooth as silk
/ Baby is streamlined sweet like malted milk / Such a low coefficient of drag / Makes me do the streamlined rag

Ancient Aegean
copyright 1985
Robert 'One-Man' Johnson
Ancient Aegean western wind blowing
/ Wavewash my mind clean new thoughts are flowing / Ageless Aegean castle afire
/ Youthful renewal revive my desire / Immersed in your water nourished by what you will give me
/ On your shores I'm delivered, deliciously shivered / And cooled in the heat of the day
/ Ancient Aegean ghosts of your footsteps
/ Mingle with madness in the wine of your blue depths / Ageless Aegean amphorae lie waiting
/ Filled with the past tense in all you're creating / As I lie in your seascape my mind keeps escaping the present
/ Drifting backwards and forwards and spiraling downwards, / I sink in the sands on the shore of the shore
/ Ancient Aegean cloudless yet star full
/ Ageless Aegean catching your net full
When?
copyright, 1987
Robert 'One-Man' Johnson
When? when they gonna get it together?
/ When? when they gonna cut the conflict? / Just like you and me all people should be free
/ But lines on maps get drawn the madness lingers / On and on and on and on
/ When? When they they gonna trust each other?
/ When? When they gonna join their hands? / The leaders of this world have battle flags unfurled
/ They make a lotta noise / Play with deadly toys and boys are dying daily
/ When? When they gonna see the future?
/ When will they see what's going down? / A time of tribulation between the mighty nations
/ Petrol jets are flying / Watch the third world die, as children cry with hunger
/ When?
Istanbul Gray
copyright, 1985
Robert 'One-Man' Johnson
Another day, Istanbul gray
I wish the gray would go away / I wish the sun would run the clouds from the sky
/ One more minute, one more hour a hint of sun then a shower / Just when I thought there was a chance to dance in the street
/ Muddy streets, Istanbul gray
I need to leave, there's no way / Trapped indoors with these four walls closing in
/ But wait a minute, something's new
/ Sweet fresh breeze blowin through / My mood has changed from sour to sweet / Someone walkin' in the street
/ Rain has washed the dirt away / Kids have all come out to play
/ I think I'll go outside for a while / But wait a minute, feel that wind
/ A Russian cold front rushin' in / Black Sea blues are comin' down / A brutal breeze is freezin' up this town
/ Another day, Istanbul gray / The weatherman says it's here to stay
/ The sky is black, and I'm back in the blues once again

Eagle rockin' down the road
/ Contemplatin' seeds I sowed / Eagle rockin down the road /
Soft-shoe
shufflin' up and down the street / I smile at everybody that I meet / Soft-shoe shufflin down the street /
Gonna dance the clouds out of the sky
/ Gonna smile a smile / And wink an eye / And dance the clouds from the sky
/ chorus: / If you want to be free here's what you gotta do
/ Consider the things I am singin' to you / But if you disagree with the things that I say
/ Choose your own blues, but don't get in my way / Gonna walk the dog, gonna do the do
/ Gonna strut my stuff, gonna hootchie koo / Gonna walk the dog and do the do
/ Gonna live my life, gonna sing my song
/ And light some lights and right some wrongs / Gonna live my life and sing my song
/ chorus:
