Lyrics on New Release 9/25/10 Posted: Aug 30, 2010
Epic
She walks in circles won't get it right,
he acts the fool.
Never-ending pain in sight,
and no golden rules.

All she wants was a piece of his mind.
A little bit of love and lust is all she needs.
So how do you tell a good girl,
she's not good for you,
ways away from her minds reach.

Call on me my love,
if you gotta live for something,
I'm on my knees oh lord,
if she's gotta believe in something.

Paints his pictures with ocean light,
and he falls asleep
Just to find a sunset spy crawling on his beach

Walks in circles won't get it right,
so he walks her home

Heaven Can Wait
Whenever something just ain't right, move along.
Hop this magic carpet ride, and pay the toll.
Can't be fake or waste your time. They will recall,
when humble left its sacred place, in your heart.

All your faith in God and love, just what you believe.
But in the end you'll know the truth.
It falls on you now (x2)

Change your ways or change your name, they will recall
Cause humble left its sacred place in your heart.

Cause it's a long way down to fall, heaven will wait for you.
No matter how big you think you are,
heaven will wait for, heaven can wait for

All your life you take your prize and make it home.
Cause on this magic carpet ride, we search for more.
But like these stars last through the night, we're shining on.
Friends and foes we feel their strife, like it's our own yeah.

Not the Right Catch
Hippy-Rock, Jam-Rock, hid your car around the block
that way so nobody could see.
Gettin' in, slippin' in, daisy finger, let's begin
Do you want to do this with me?

I've gotta say this baby
I gotta get this off my chest
I ain't gonna settle baby
yeah you sure are fun girl,
But you're not the right catch
not the right catch

Hippy-Rock, Jam-Rock, hid your car around the block
that way so nobody could see.
Wanna taste, kiss your face, touch you in a sacred place
Do you want to do this with me?
Might be crazy, just a faze that we're in.
But it's oh so tasty wanna do it again
cause

Crucial Tactics
Just a real big heart, but can I trust myself?
I didn't catch her name, but she was hot as hell.
And it's a real nice party, yeah we're all sauced up.
I'd give a million dollars, for one night with her.

Could it be my daydreaming mind?
Where timing is nothing, it wouldn't be rushing if,
if I had her by my side, alone, tonight,
by my side.

She wears the personal armor.
She doesn't like material things.
If she rejects my love, I'd have to stop and think.
I'm in a disposition, cause she's hard to get.
Gotta move in easy, yeah to break her sweat.

I'm a hopeless romantic,
thinking there's a chance to step inside,
yeah and blow her mind.
But all these crucial tactics,
that I've been using to find her mattress,
now has made me such an ass, and now I'm crying.
I dry my eyes.

Undersexisized
Now we could get down to the itty-bitty details
but, let's not be rude.
Don't ask me for any favors girlfriend,
cause I don't owe you.
Made me feel materialized, and undersexisized.
You realized that your just not cool.
I had to fornicate to a porno tape,
and that was great, cause it wasn't you.

It seems there's nothing we can do,
but you won't catch me crying girl, or actin' a fool yeah

So don't waste my time, won't tame your lust.
You don't sing my songs, you don't blow me up.
Won't take your call, just shrug you off.
Stay away from me.

Now I don't got time for your feelings girlfriend,
or all these tears.
Perhaps this relationship could get a little bit better,
maybe a lot better, after a couple beers yeah.
Made me feel materialized, and undersexisized.
It's time to date and get physical.
Had to throw away all your photos babe,
and that was cake, because they're digital.

It seems there's nothing we can say,
so quick tuck your tail girl and run away

Enemy Lines
Trouble with America, its about to boil.
Lost the roots from where we came.
What a crazy show.

All these channels, all this confrontation.
One-side realities, opinions and religion.
Give me hope that mankind can beat the system,
cause we don't need no more lying and oppression.

Take yourself to enemy lines,
gonna set guns down, apologize,
gonna make amends and love each other.
If you can't do that, what a waste of life.
Gonna pack my bags and jump the line.
Gonna leave this town, maybe run forever.

Trouble in America, when it's about the oil.
Made a Bush a president, think we drank it all yeah.
All these families with sons now lost forever.
Death or money, power made through propaganda.
Give me hope that mankind can find the answers,
cause we don't need no more lying and oppression.

So take yourself to enemy lines,
gonna set guns down, apologize,
gonna make amends and love each other.
Danger Danger, watch your back,
yeah Danger Danger, the world reacts.
Gonna watch your youth cause a revolution.

Cougarville
You're doing good girl, Rockin' my world,
that's right, and that's life.
Come on over and I can rub your shoulders,
tonight, ooh that feels so nice.

I'm an open cougar fool,
and I hope your hungry too.
I'm an open cougar fool, that's right,
wanna taste your body gonna feast tonight.

You're doing good girl, Rockin' my world,
but that's right, and that's life.
Come on over, and I'll massage your shoulders,
tonight, ooh that feels so nice.

Chump
Merry Christmas spirit is a practical thing.
Said your O.C.D for shoes is not.
You want all of my money and these diamond rings,
but baby, that's all you've got.
and you won't stop thinking about yourself for a second,
and all you're doing is pissing me off.
You need to change your focus on reality baby,
and change your ways.

So I'm drinking fast, said I think I lost my mind.
If you think it's my fault baby, said you're probably right,
cause I'm a chump.

Loved you in the morning in your victoria slip,
then you go and say something smart.
But since we're hot and heavy baby, kissing already,
I'll take out my aggression on top.
The lovely hot heavy turns to sticky and sweaty,
and the frown upon her face upside-down.
I admit it my friend, I forgave her again.
Man, I'm such a chump.

My Way
Well bare skin breathes. Breathe in deeply yeah.
(It's your turn, to breathe in deeply)
And (Said) your open mind, it was hard to come by.
And now we'll watch and grow,
and where we stop, well nobody knows.
But I'm yours to love.
And now we'll watch and see,
if from the heart is where we bleed.
There's one life, to make it right,
yes I will have my way, yes I will have my way.

To Life
So good so far, at least for me.
I found a way to change the world,
for the time being.

Tired of waiting on the world,
and you want to turn this stone,
cause I can't sit and twist my thumbs
some more

Cause we've been blessed,
like all the rest,
and tonight I won't lay here anymore.
Said we'll scream and shout,
yeah, let it all out.
Here's to life tonight.

So good so far, at least for me.
You found a way to blame the world,
for the time being.

You're tired of waiting on the world,
and you want to turn your stone,
cause you can't sit and twist your thumbs
some more

Turn The Light On
Oh so strong, sang this song,
just to widen my horizon.
Turned this page to a spotlit stage.
Undivided, soul-inspired.

The messenger came but nobody met for tea.
The king and the queen yes,
no one had heard or seen.

Onward strong, searched so long,
for reactions, to distractions.
Wiped this slate, to concentrate
on what matters, left in tatters.
Well darkness came,
and we left this place,
to destruction, and consumption.
Then the new world came,
and we marked this day,
just to brighten our horizon.

Reactions innate, we're all falling down,
just facing myself again.
Yeah subject to change, we're all falling down,
just facing myself (ourselves) again.
Turn the light on, turn the light on.
Anything's better then all this. (x2)
With something to say, we all change the world.
Reality is what you made.

All my life, open wide to the old ways,
look to new days. But all in time, open wide,
screw the old ways, so we'll take it to new days.
Turn the light on, turn the light on.
We made this place and we made this fate.
Turn the light on, turn the light on.
We made this place and we made this fate.

Air Time in East Africa Posted: Mar 20, 2007
Just this last month I was contacted by one Ivan Mubiru from Kampala Uganda. He was more unfortunate than myself and simply stated that he was a big fan of my music and that it would be wonderful if I could send him some clothes. I responded with an email asking for his address, and that he send a picture of himself and his family wearing the "Lucas Cates" t-shirts I sent him. He was very excited in his next response where he not only sent me a picture of his family, but requested that I also send him some CDs and posters so that the people in his village might know more about us. I sent the package out about two weeks ago and it should be arriving shortly. When I asked where Ivan came across my music, he stated that two competing radio station in Uganda, Sanyu FM and East Africa Radio, play The Lucas Cates Band across their airwaves. How fate brought me to Ivan and Kampala Uganda, who knows? But something tells me only good will come of this. Cheers to you Ivan!

Cincinnati Jan. 2007 C-Change Event Posted: Jan 19, 2007
Friends,
As many of you know we just got back from an incredible trip to Cincinnati. Upon arrival we were treated to two presidential suites at The Garfield Suites, located at the heart of downtown. We played an unplugged band show at The Wine Cellar in Mt. Adams and another full band show at Universal Grille. The highlight of the trip was the Ballet however. The Cincinnati Ballet fell in love with "4everytime" a few months ago and deemed it a new dance piece. We were graciously invited to the C-Change Graduation Commencement for the performance, where young business professionals celebrated their entrance into the Chamber of Commerce. I had the pleasure of playing a solo show for the party reception and then witnessed something that doesn't happen to an artist everyday. We got to see our work come to life! Thank you to dancer/choreographer Jay Goodlett for all his help and what a fine job he did. I hope that he reads this one day. Special thanks to Victoria Morgan (Director of the Ballet), Brian Frank of Proctor and Gamble, Julie and Jessica from the Chamber, Rick from Iconns, and all the new friends we've made. Thanks for making Cincinnati a definite return destination! We have already sent out a press release about our adventure to Ohio. Cheers to all of you!

Ballet? Posted: Oct 31, 2006
Our friend, Brian Frank, of Proctor and Gamble, was a volunteer for the Midpoint Music Festival (Cincinnati). He was not only a great person, but a true fan of music. Fate has it this gentleman and I got to talking and now The Lucas Cates Band's song "4everytime" has been picked up by the Cincinnati Ballet for a new, modern dance piece. It is a long story short, but I have been asked to perform and be a guest speaker at The Cincinnati C-Change Graduation Commencement. This is a big deal and something I think the group is extremely fortunate and blessed to experience. So, special thanks to Brian for all his efforts and time spent spreading the good word for us. Cheers brother!
