THE GHOSTS
Ted Wulfers

They say spirits can’t be seen
They say love lasts forever
I guess this life ain’t a dream
Knowin’ you and I aren’t together

Have you ever lost somebody –
Who you loved the most
I guess maybe, to everybody
You and I are the ghosts

They say this town has been around
Since the river met the sea
I bet here there can be found
Ancient versions of you and me

Have you ever lost somebody
Who you loved the most
I guess maybe, to everybody
You and I are the ghosts

Did I see you in a dream?
Did I feel you in the air?
Do I know what’s real that seems?
Knowin’ you will always be there

Have you ever lost somebody
Who you loved the most
I guess maybe, to everybody
You and I are the ghosts
I guess you and I are the ghosts
I guess you and I….
Are the ghosts

FALL IN LOVE
Ted Wulfers

Some nights are made for walkin’
Some nights are made for doin’ nothing
Some nights you’re better off watching stars above
But tonight I’m gonna fall in love

Some nights you can’t think of anything
Some nights, anything goes
Some nights are gentle,
Some are push and some are shove
But tonight I’m gonna fall in love

Everybody needs a fairytale now and then
A fantasy with a brand new friend
If the shoe fits the foot or the hand fits the glove
Better put ’em on right
‘Cause tonight I’m gonna fall in love

Well I’m counting all the hours ’til the sun go down
I’m dressing up to make my rounds
I’m prowling like a wolf but I’m flyin’ like a dove
And tonight I’m gonna fall in love

Yeah, tonight I’m gonna take some
Woah, tonight I’m gonna make some
Woah, some hearts I’m gonna break some
Some smiles, I’m gonna fake some
The whole world’s gonna shake and quake some
You better run for cover if you ain’t got the stuff
‘Cause tonight I’m gonna fall in love
Gonna fall in love
Gonna fall in love
Yeah tonight I’m gonna fall
In love

SUMMERTIME FESTIVAL GIRL
Ted Wulfers

Summertime festival girl, summertime
Summertime festival girl, summertime

I know what you’re thinkin’
I know what you’re drinkin’
You’re drinkin’ up the sweet sunshine
In the summertime

I know where you’re goin’
Where the love is flowin’
I know that you’re goin,’
You’re goin,’ you’re goin’
You’re goin’ to the show

All the big bad world is bringing you down
You keep dancing ’round and ’round

Summertime festival girl, summertime
Summertime festival girl, summertime

Everything goes to waste if you don’t use it
What’s better in this life than music
In the summertime

Everything goes to waste if you don’t use it
What’s better in this life than music
In the summertime

Summertime festival girl, summertime
Summertime festival girl, summertime

1980s MOVIE (JOHN HUGHES)
Ted Wulfers

Yeah they finally played our song
We’ve been waiting all night long
Baby, won’t you dance with me?
I recognize that glimmer in your eyes
A real life fantasy

And here we are in a perfect world
Here I am with the perfect girl

And you got me feelin’ groovy
Like a 1980s movie
John Hughes couldn’t write a night like this
Yeah the lead star is your part
I’m the guy with the broken heart
And right now is when we kiss

It’s been a long time
Since we found the perfect crime
Leading the lives we lead
You know your way
I’ve surely had my days
For this love is guaranteed

Here we are in a perfect world
And here I am with the perfect girl
(You are the perfect girl)

And you got me feelin’ groovy
Like a 1980s movie
John Hughes couldn’t write a night like this
Yeah the lead star is your part
I’m the guy with the broken heart
And right now is when we kiss

And here we are in a perfect world
And here I am with the perfect girl
(You are the perfect girl)

And you got me feelin’ groovy
Like a 1980s movie
John Hughes couldn’t write a night like this
Yeah the lead star is your part
I’m the guy with the broken heart
And right now is when we
Got me feelin’ groovy
Like a 1980s movie
John Hughes couldn’t write a night like this
Yeah the lead star is your part
I’m the guy with the broken heart
And right now is when we kiss

WORLD I KNEW
Ted Wulfers

This world ain’t the world I knew
The sun still shines and sky’s still blue
There’s not much more a man can do
This world ain’t the world I knew

This love ain’t the love I had
Feels so good but it hurts so bad
Tears of joy still make me sad
This love ain’t the love I had

Stay with me tonight
Put out my fire before the light
Whisper these words to my delight
‘I’m forever yours”

You say that I’m hard to hold
I’m not too shy and I’m not too bold
I’m just young at growin’ old
But you say that I’m hard to hold

Stay with me tonight
Put out my fire before the light
Whisper these words to my delight
‘I’m forever yours”

Maybe it’s true what they say about war
Who knows what the fighting’s for?
You live by the pen but you die by the sword
Maybe it’s true what they say about war

And where will you be when they drop the bomb?
Will you have a say in what’s going on?
Will you be at the beach, at the office or prom?
Where will you be when they drop the bomb?

Stay with me tonight
Put out my fire before the light
Whisper these words to my delight
‘I’m forever yours”

This world ain’t the world I knew
The sun still shines and sky’s still blue
There’s not much more a man can do
This world ain’t the world I knew

FLEUR DE LIS
Ted Wulfers

Baby come on, you know you got me good
Baby come on, you know you got me good
Oh, dosey doe, come on give it to me
Oh, give it to me

Cookin’ up something with your southern charm
Cookin’ up something good with your southern charm
Come on girl, let’s go, you got the fleur de lis
You got the fleur de lis

I got a feelin’ that you are the woman for me
I got a feelin’ that you’re the kinda girl I need
I got a feelin’ that you are the woman for me
You’re my fleur de lis
Fleur de lis

THOUGHTS & PRAYERS
Ted Wulfers

Thoughts & prayers, thoughts & prayers
In the churches and schools, there’s nobody there
They’re either all dead or runnin’ home scared
That the only thing comin’ is “Thoughts & Prayers”

Thoughts & prayers, what do they mean?
Are they in the right language?
Are they from the right scene?
Do they work underwater?
Do they fade like your jeans?
Whatever they are, it’s a horrible dream

Thoughts & prayers, where do they go?
I bet you your life that nobody knows
Those holding the cards ain’t gonna fold
Let you in that it’s all just a show

Ironically the majority believe in the priority
To amend the authority

STOP the madness after all
How many more need to fall?
Tales of money aren’t that tall
Do we need a wall?

For the thoughts and the prayers
That disappear in the air
Since no one seems to care

Thoughts & prayers, thoughts & prayers
Keep on killin’ ’til there’s nobody there
Do something about it if you dare
Keep on sending those thoughts & prayers
Keep on sending those thoughts & prayers
Keep on sending those thoughts & prayers

ANNA, QUEEN OF BRUGES
Ted Wulfers

If these streets could whisper
Oh, the tales they’d tell
A thousand nights and memories
Centuries of spells
The river’s like a lover
Gets you through the night
Helps you find your way
By the morning light

With Anna, Queen of Bruges
Anna, Queen of Bruges
Nothin’ to lose
With Anna, Queen of Bruges

She came from far away
Caused quite a stir
The locals do say
They never seen nothin’ quite like her
And all the games she’d play
And all she’d portray
That ancient city saw a brand new day

With Anna, Queen of Bruges
Anna, Queen of Bruges
Nothin’ to lose
With Anna, Queen of Bruges

And she rules so well
I’m a fool under her spell
Might as well

It wasn’t long ago
She took me by the hand
And whispered those secrets
In a voice I’d understand
And as the sun came up
Around the river bend
I knew this fairytale
Was never gonna end

With Anna, Queen of Bruges
Anna, Queen of Bruges
Nothin’ to lose
With Anna, Queen of Bruges
Nothin’ to lose
With Anna, Queen of Bruges
Nothin’ to lose
With Anna, Queen of Bruges

RED SHOES
Ted Wulfers

When I get the blues, I put my red shoes on
I put my red shoes on and my blues are gone
When I get the blues, I put my red shoes on
I put my red shoes
I don’t wanna work, don’t wanna mow the lawn
I got my red shoes on and my blues are gone
When I get the blues, I put my red shoes on
I put my red shoes on

So gimme gimme crazy
Gimme gimme wild
Having lots of fun
Ain’t going out of style
So gimme gimme crazy
Gimme gimme wild
Do whatever you gotta do
To make you smile

Be-Bop-A-Lula down the boulevard
It’s a big bad world full of broken hearts
If you get lucky you can find someone
With the red shoes
Only one planet, one race, one life
Each week only has one Friday night
Better do your best to do it right
With some red shoes on

So gimme gimme crazy
Gimme gimme wild
Having lots of fun
Ain’t going out of style
So gimme gimme crazy
Gimme gimme wild
Do whatever you gotta do
To make you smile

Red shoes rollin’ down the alley way
Red shoes, I was wearin’ some yesterday
Red shoes, can’t find the other one today

Flip flops, bowling sneakers, moccasins
Steel-toe, high heels, slippers, boots, mary janes
All your troubles seem to go away
With your red shoes
Climb up a ladder, run a marathon
You can walk on some water or dance ’til dawn
Life is a beach if you boogie down
With your red shoes on

So gimme gimme crazy
Gimme gimme wild
Having lots of fun
Ain’t going out of style
So gimme gimme crazy
Gimme gimme wild
Do whatever you gotta do
To make you smile

Gimme gimme crazy
Gimme gimme wild
Having lots of fun
Ain’t going out of style
So gimme gimme crazy
Gimme gimme wild
Do whatever you gotta do
To make you smile

Red shoes

SEGO CANYON
Ted Wulfers

Gotta go to Sego Canyon
Gotta go, woah-oh
Gotta go to Sego Canyon
Gotta go, woah-oh

Gotta go to Sego Canyon
Every ten thousand years or so
There’s a woman waitin’ there
Tellin’ me it’s time to go

Gonna pack up in the morning
Gotta get out of this town
I need a new adventure
When the sun goes down

Gotta go to Sego Canyon
Gotta go, woah-oh
Gotta go to Sego Canyon
Gotta go, woah-oh

I’ll miss you but only if you want me to
To thyself be true
Close your eyes

Gotta go to Sego Canyon
Gotta go, woah-oh
Gotta go to Sego Canyon
Gotta go, woah-oh

Gotta go to Sego Canyon
Gotta go today
Gotta go to Sego Canyon
Before it’s too late

DIE IN MY SLEEP
Ted Wulfers

I been sleepin’ in my car
I’ve been out on my own
I don’t know what tomorrow
Is gonna bring me today
I can’t sleep through the night
Or keep up with my shadow
Hope’s outta sight
And I’ve lost my way

But you
You were the buffer
You were the one
Who made me wanna dream

I wanna die in my sleep
I wanna die in my dreams
I wanna die in my sleep
But not tonight

Four in the morning
The rain comin’ down
The sun will soon
Steal the spotlight from the moon
As I lie in your bed
With your sweat and your skin
Full of timeless desire
Let this rest soon set in

We’re in
This thing together
You can’t leave me now
You make me wanna live

I wanna die in my sleep
I don’t wanna feel any pain
I wanna make love to the angels
As they carry me away
I wanna die in my sleep
I wanna die in my dreams
I wanna die in my sleep
But not tonight
But not tonight
