HIGHWAY 605 SOUTH
words and music by Gary Tang
I'm fuel injected and I'm intercooled and my turbo's starting to swell.
With thirty-two valves and my radar green the cops can follow me to hell!
I'm chasing a dream that was once all my todays.
High speed and living too fast took my tomorrows away.
My heart was lost on HIGHWAY SIX-OH-FIVE SOUTH,
Lost at one-eighty-six miles per hour,
Lost on HIGHWAY SIX-OH-FIVE SOUTH,
Lost on Highway S-I-X-Oh-Five.
When I recall my life with her there's not a thing I would change.
The way she thrilled me in the dashboard light, her hair the wind would rearrange.
My friends say, "Forget her and let life go on again."
I know just where my life is, it's there where she met her end.
My heart was lost on HIGHWAY SIX-OH-FIVE SOUTH,
Lost at one-eighty-six (Ooo!)
Lost on HIGHWAY SIX-OH-FIVE SOUTH,
Lost on Highway S-I-X-Oh-Five.
Guitar solo
Each night I put flower on her grave and then I get my wheels ready to go.
I trace the roads she drove on that night then my dream starts to unfold.
I see her beside me, but then she pulls away.
I've got to catch up to her and love as two lovers may!
My heart was lost on HIGHWAY SIX-OH-FIVE SOUTH,
Lost on highway six (Ooo),
Lost on highway HIGHWAY SIX-OH-FIVE SOUTH,
Lost at one-eighty-six miles per hour,
Lost on HIGHWAY SIX-OH-FIVE SOUTH,
Lost at one-eighty-six (Ooo),
Lost on HIGHWAY SIX-OH-FIVE SOUTH,
Lost on HIGHWAY S-I-X-OH-FIVE.

MEAN TO ME
words and music by Dickie Ueda and Gary Tang
Why can't you and I see eye to eye is it 'cause you don't try?
Why can't you and I see eye to eye is it 'cause you don't try?
Why can't you and I see eye to eye is it 'cause you don't try?
Why can't you and I see eye to eye is it 'cause you don't try?
Two days ago I talked to you, you said you'd be a sec or two,
There must have been a small mistake 'cause you arrived ten hours late!
And that was only 'cause I phoned you each hour until I got home,
And when I finally spoke to you, "I'm sorry, I forgot" was the best you could do!
Is this the right way for us to start things off?
There must've been something along the way we lost.
Don't say you'll call when you know you won't,
Why say you want me when I'm gone you don't,
Is this too much to ask of you,
To say what you'll do and do what you say.
For what you mean to me, you're so MEAN TO ME!
Can't you say what you'll do and do what you say!
For what you mean to me, you're so MEAN TO ME!
Can't you say what you'll do and do what you say!
Today I thought I'd take a chance and call you up to go out to dance,
You said that you'd be free to go and when you could you'd telephone,
Needless to say you didn't show, alive or dead I didn't know,
Now if I left it all to you, I'd probably wait a week or two.
When we're together it's easy to believe,
Whatever you tell me like I'm the one you need!
Don't say you'll call when you know you won't,
Why say you want me when I'm gone you don't,
Is this too much to ask of you,
To say what you'll do and do what you say.
For what you mean to me, you're so MEAN TO ME!
Can't you say what you'll do and do what you say!
For what you mean to me, you're so MEAN TO ME!
Can't you say what you'll do and do what you say!
Why can't you and I see eye to eye is it 'cause you don't try?
Why can't you and I see eye to eye is it 'cause you don't try?
Why can't you and I see eye to eye is it 'cause you don't try?
Why can't you and I see eye to eye is it 'cause you don't try?
Guitar solo Dickie Ueda
Don't say you'll call when you know you won't,
Why say you want me when I'm gone you don't,
Is this too much to ask of you,
To say what you'll do and do what you say.
For what you mean to me, you're so MEAN TO ME!
Can't you say what you'll do and do what you say!
For what you mean to me, you're so MEAN TO ME!
Can't you say what you'll do and do what you say!
The future brings things we never know, but if you care why don't you show?
If you continue as you do you'll probably miss the future too,
I love you so I don't care but space and time continue there,
I've heard of people lost in time, but you my dear are lost in mind!
Why do you treat me this way when I'm away?
'Cause when you're near me you do just what I say!
Don't say you'll call when you know you won't,
Why say you want me when I'm gone you don't,
Is this too much to ask of you,
To say what you'll do and do what you say.
For what you mean to me, you're so MEAN TO ME!
Can't you say what you'll do and do what you say!
For what you mean to me, you're so MEAN TO ME!
Can't you say what you'll do and do what you say!
Why can't you and I see eye to eye is it 'cause you don't try?
Why can't you and I see eye to eye is it 'cause you don't try?
Why can't you and I see eye to eye is it 'cause you don't try?
Why can't you and I see eye to eye is it 'cause you don't try?

MY BABY WEARS MY LEATHER JACKET
words and music by Gary Tang
My leather and I have been together through rumbles and scrapes and through it I knew,
That I could always count on my leather and now I have found someone who'll be there too.
MY BABY WEARS MY LEATHER JACKET, man, she looks so tough when she's wearing it,
You know, she reminds me of me.
Well, you know what to do, baby, you know what to say,
Every time you move you rub me just the right way,
I don't have to think twice 'cause you can that for me too.
I love it when you're tough, girl, I love it when you're soft,
I like it when you turn it on and I like it when it's off,
But I love it best when you take my jacket off!
MY BABY WEARS MY LEATHER JACKET, man, she looks so tough when she's wearing it,
You know, she reminds me of me.
Well, you know what to think, girl, you know about respect,
Codes concerning colors on jacket or on vests,
Trust with my life when I trust you with my jacket.
Well, you know what you want and you know when you're ready,
I'll never force it on you, I'll be just like a Freddie,
'Cause when you wear my jacket it's like we're going steady too.
I remember meeting you those awful times you helped me though,
No one could ever take your place, 'cause there ain't no one in the human race
As lovely, exciting, so inviting me to
Commit myself with you.
MY BABY WEARS MY LEATHER JACKET, man, she looks so tough when she's wearing it,
You know, she reminds me of me.
Well, you treat me real fine, baby, you're the very best!
Every time I look at you my heart still beats to death,
Especially when you wear my jacket and a dress!
Tell me once again and please promise it's no lie,
Now you wear my jacket say I'm your only guy,
And I will tell you true you're the only one in my life too.
MY BABY WEARS MY LEATHER JACKET, man, she looks so tough when she's wearing it,
You know, she reminds me of me.
MY BABY WEARS MY LEATHER JACKET, man, she looks so tough when she's wearing it,
You know, she reminds me of me.
Ooo-whoa-oh!

MARILYN, MMM-MMM
words and music by Gary Tang
I saw you on the screen late last night,
They said that you had things just so right,
But there was something they could not see,
Perfection often ends tragically.
MARILYN, MMM-MMM,
MARILYN, MMM-MMM,
Marilyn.
Why can't I see you tonight, my dear?
I dream each night that I hold you near,
Won't you please tell me where have you gone?
I need you near me where we belong.
MARILYN, MMM-MMM,
MARILYN, MMM-MMM,
Marilyn.
Keyboard solo
Tell me, oh, tell me the reasons why?
Are there some things that are worth our lives?
Or did you just get tired of it all,
Rations of happiness are so small.
MARILYN, MMM-MMM,
MARILYN, MMM-MMM,
Marilyn.
