Desert Angel – lyrics & music by Richard Dance © 2010
V1
Heading west for Tucson in the still dry heat of June.
El Camino overheating, I pushed on to get my boon.
Well I could not stay in Texas, she was crazy as a loon.
I need a brand new desert angel, to help me write a brand new tune.
V2
It was just about at sundown, I hit the Cochise County line.
In a little town of grapevines I stopped to taste the local wine.
And then I saw my desert angel, she had arrived right on time.
If I could find a way to meet her, I knew it all would work out fine.
Chorus 1
Won’t you send me a desert angel? I’m feeling down and oh so low.
I need a shot o’ love and a dose o’ hope, so I’m back on the road once more.
And when I find my desert angel I know my world will up and change.
We all need a desert angel to wash our troubles down the drain.
Guitar solo over verse
V3
They said she worked in the local clinic, the little house at the end of the lane.
Well she’s been right here for ten long years easing other people’s pain.
You see her last love up and left her so her heart went down the drain.
The sweet little desert angel is about to go insane.
V4
So I stumbled into her clinic, I let out a moanful groan.
The last horse I rode he threw me, I think I must have cracked a bone.
Our eyes met, we surely both knew we weren’t meant to be alone.
We fell in love and now we’re living in a small world all our own.
Chorus 2
Won’t you send me a desert angel? I’m feeling down and oh so low.
Got my shot o’ love and my dose o’ hope, I’m done with this road for sure.
Now I got my desert angel, she sewed me up and she eased my pain.
We all need a desert angel to wash our troubles down the drain.
I sure need me a desert angel to clear the rubble…from my brain.
Troubles down the drain…troubles down the drain. - Track Name: The Hero Song

THE HERO SONG - lyrics & music by Richard Dance © 2010
V1
Some people are born, straight down in a deep hole
They start out life way back in the rear
But they dig down deep, find something to hold onto
Cut a brand new path, push on without fear.
V2
The road gets dark, seems to go on forever
You stumble and fall, in the thick of your mind
But you find new strength, fall in love with the journey
Take an inward plunge, and let your bright light shine.
Chorus
Hero show me the way! Hero show me the way!
Hero show me the way! Hero show me the way!
I wanna start today! Hero show me the way! …Yeah!
Bridge
There are those who have gone before me
The labyrinth is thoroughly known
All I have to do is follow the thread of the hero
Who has already ventured out there all alone.
V3
I feel that urge rising within me
Bundles of fear... lie right along side
But I gotta dig deep, to find out what I’m made of,
To be reborn, I surely first must die.
Chorus, repeat, outro - Track Name: The Wizard

V1
The doctor he say one thing, the nurse she say another
Take this little pill, see how you feel
But when it comes right down to your body and mind
You know you got to find what is real
V2
People sayin’ this, people talkin’ that
They tellin’ you what you oughta know
What is a fact, and what is fiction
To tell you the truth I don’t know
Chorus
I wanna move, I wanna know
What makes the world tick like it does, tell me more
I wanna ride, I wanna go
So hey Mr. Wizard, pull back the curtain, let’s start the show
V3
Who knows what’s a myth, and what is really true
It’s all about gettin’ it right
Just hang onto, your inside view
Get on your magic carpet and ride - Track Name: Somethin' To Lose

SOMETHING TO LOSE - lyrics & music by Richard Dance © 2010
V1
I sure need to lose a little weight, I been waitin’ way too late
I’m tired of my sorry state, Gotta slow my food intake
If I wanna get a brand new mate, Or just a Saturday night date
Can’t be a victim of fate, Get up y’all, it’s time to skate
Chorus
I done heard it on the Healthy News, Everybody’s got somethin’ to lose
Put on your athletic shoes, And lose them overweight blues
I need to take off a pound or two, get ready for my tropical cruise
I done heard it on the Healthy News, Everybody’s got somethin’ to lose.
V2
My clothes they look like a tent, I gotta get up offa this fence
Gonna use my common sense, somebody open up the vents
Don’t care if my wind is spent, don’t care if I get the shin splints
Wanna body condition that’s mint, Then I be lookin’ like a brand new gent
Chorus
Bridge
V3
I gotta do it, do it for me, gonna fill my body with glee
Even if I gotta bum knee, I’m gonna shinny on up this tree
Need to drink some more healthy tea, I’m on a use it or lose it spree.
In the mirror I like what I see, Workin’ out is the secret key
Chorus - Track Name: Who Wants To Be

Who Wants to BE? Music and Lyrics by Richard Dance
INTRO…It’s time to ask the question…Who wants to be…who
wants to be…who wants to be…time to tell the story
VERSE 1
One Life to live is all I got to live, on this big blue world that’s turnin’
Round and round so how can I get down
With my mind in the heavens, and my feet on the ground
I don’t know, what you been told, but there’s good payin’ jobs all
across the globe
Need to feed my soul, and fill up that hole
And make people feel a whole lot better
In any kinda weather, when they’re under weather
My weather forecast is a whole lot clearer
I feel it getting nearer I can’t run astray
I can do surgerays and make xray pay
I’m gonna be a medicine man
It’s all inside of the plans, now I understand
Gotta ask the questions
For my profession
Gotta ace that test
And pass of my lessons
CHORUS 1
Who wants to be…a family doctor
Who wants to be…a brain surgee-an
Who wants to be…a nurse practitioner
Who wants to be…the xray man
VERSE 2
When I think about school, it gets a little scary,
I gotta figure out a better way to prepare me
Im not a fool, so I can stay cool
Realize that I use my brain as my tool
Rise up, and just do the work
Put in the effort, so I can heal the hurt
I know I’ll have to study hard…
But if I study hard I can catch’em off guard,
Look ahead, it’s not so far
And by the time I’m done
I’ll have a whole lotta of fun
Pay my dues and have my moment in the sun
With that diploma my time has come
An MD, PhD, Dr. that’s all I wanna be
Medicine, surgeries, yes I want it all so I can diagnose my dreams so I
can have a ball
CHORUS 2
Who wants to be…a doctor of the mind
Who wants to be…a dietician
Who wants to be…my chiropractor
Who wants to run…the ultra sound
VERSE 3
Now there’s all kindsa jobs in the doctorin’ field,
Cause all kindsa ways that people get ill
Everybody’s pushin’ the healthier way
But once in a while we all run astray
It’s a big ol’ piece of this world economy,
My hands’ are getting sweaty, I wanna start today
I’m gettin’ all excited, I wanna start night
Nothin’s gonna stop me, nothin’s gonna block me
Sit back and watch me , You gotta believe me,
This jobs gonna free me
So when you gonna see me? Just for a check up.
Just for a cut. I can stitch you up.
I can heal you up. I can make you feel good.
Just like a doctor would. Just like a doctor should.
The world is my oyster, my brain is the tool
And it all started here in the medical school
CHORUS 3
Who wants to be…an obstetrician
Who wants to be in charge of the health records pool
Who wants to be…a morgue mortician
Who wants to be…a paramedic—they so cool.
Who wants to be…a hospice worker
Who wants to be… a candy stripe girl (look out)
Who wants to be…a physical therapist
I wanna be the smartest person in the world!
