Lyrics from Vanishing Breed
2.  L/O/V/E She said she did but she really didn’t once again the word is used in a lie He vows he will but both know he couldn’t once again the word is used in a lie But it sure sounds sweet in the heat of night when the moon is full and the stars are bright but eye to eye in the morning light they see right through... He says it’s burning bright and never will it fade once again the word is used in a lie. She said she did but she really didn’t once again the word is used in a lie.

VANISHING BREED People like you and me we hardly exist anymore It seems like you and me are like the last of the dinosaurs we give each other love like there’s no tomorrow and we share our sorrows but we’re a VANISHING BREED we’re a VANISHING BREED Take a look around it’s not hard to tell folks just looking out for number one and no one else and so we hold each other close like there’s no tomorrow and we share our sorrow Copyright © 1998 Ron Renninger Lifeform Music BMI   8.  PASSENGERS She died at the side of the boy behind the wheel Sometimes that’s what becomes of PASSENGERS We put faith in a face or the touch of a stranger and hope that the wings we fly on are real Who is your driver? do you know when to take the key? I cried when I tried to explain to myself just why I gave our heart away so fast What was left at the end was barely recognizable sometimes that’s what becomes of PASSENGERS Copyright © 1998 Ron Renninger Lifeform Music BMI   10.  THE DREAM AND THE MEMORY The dream was nicer than the memory the hunger was better than the meal the anticipation I had at the start was better than how I ended up to feel The heart has such imagination it can see things that are nowhere in sight it led me to believe you could be all that I need but now I’ve opened my eyes What looked like the petals of flowers up close became the thorns what reminded me of wings of angels in time looked more like horns.... The dream was nicer than the memory the hunger was better than the meal the anticipation I had at the start was better than how I ended up to feel it was better than how I ended up to feel.

And there’s no answer in the music of the waves upon the sand how did so much power fall into such ill-equipped hands? How thin the line could be between nothingness and humanity it’s so hard for me to see... You stood upon my shoulders that first summer that we shared who could have imagined then the weight that we now bear How thin the boundary between a newborn’s tears and eternity it’s too hard for me to see... ’cause I was... too young to listen when you said "let’s just sleep" so now there is the matter of an UNINTENTIONAL SEED. what to do? who to believe?

I never found the gold at rainbow’s end though I tried again and again you’d think by now the lesson would have gotten through I never caught the pigeons I chased as a kid though I came close, yes I did now I’m after something that has wings too it’s you, yes it’s you.

But I WANNA BE EVERYTHING I WANNA BE EVERYTHING I WANNA BE EVERYTHING to you Maybe when I’m flying I’m just another body in a bargain seat Maybe when I’m freezing I’m just another renter begging for some heat and maybe on the subway I’m just another head in a herd of sheep But I WANNA BE EVERYTHING I WANNA BE EVERYTHING I WANNA BE EVERYTHING to you I wanna be your everything I wanna be your birds that sing I wanna be your pawn and your king... I WANNA BE EVERYTHING I WANNA BE EVERYTHING Copyright © 1998 Ron Renninger Lifeform Music BMI   12.  CARS ON A ROAD We were like cars on a road we went pretty far and never got too close we talked about things, but not too deep If love is a river, I guess, we were a creek. You were like a ship in the night I woke up one morning, you were gone from sight and your wake led straight to the open sea then the rains came in and trickled down my cheek... and you told me once the world was round so we can’t see too far down the highway... We were like cars on a road we went pretty far and never got too close we talked about things but not too deep if love is a mountain then ours wasn’t very steep...

The sea’s still warm though the season’s over I guess it still recalls brighter days you think I’d forget after only two years THE SWEETEST LOVE EVER MADE THE SWEETEST LOVE EVER MADE Copyright © 1998 Ron Renninger Lifeform Music BMI     All songs written by Ron Renninger © Copyright 1998 Ron Renninger Vienna Virginia Records Suite 4E Jessica House 84-70 129th St. Kew Gardens, NY 11415 Numbers before the titles refer to track order on the CD.
