Anything Into a Song - Mario Passi ©2015
I pick tomatoes, out in my garden
I can turn anything into a song
I like potatoes, home cooked by mom
I can turn anything into a song
I like a smooth transmission, bells ringing, or the strike of a gong
I don’t need a reason; I can turn anything into a song
I hear the thunder, rumbling on
I can turn anything into a song
Sometimes I wonder how things went wrong
I can turn anything into a song
I like a smooth transmission, bells ringing, or the strike of a gong
I don’t need a reason; I can turn anything into a song
I hear the Laughter echoing on
I can turn anything into a song
Bounce off the rafters, dance until dawn.
I can turn anything into a song
I like a smooth transmission, bells ringing, or the strike of a gong
I don’t need a reason; I can turn anything into a song

Love to Give - Mario Passi ©2015
Hey there, honey
Don’t be shy!
I can give you more than the other guys
I don’t want trouble
I don’t want to fight
Maybe we could meet up on a Saturday night?
I’ve got love to give
I want to give you my love
I’ve got love to give
I want to give you my love
Hey there, honey
I’m not gonna lie
I’ve been watching for quite some time
I ain’t no loser and I ain’t no freak
Mabey we could meet up at the end of the week?
I’ve got love to give
I want to give you my love
I’ve got love to give
I want to give you my love

Hiatus - Mario Passi ©2015
It’s been a really long winter
It’s time to pull out the splinters
We’re in the season for fun
And it’s just begun
Can you feel the sensation?
It’s a spatial relation
This is the new meditation
We’re in a brand new conversation
Becoming who we want to be
Is as easy as your ABC’s
In the past, I was down
I was the laugh of the town
But things are turning around
Yeah, things are turning around.
I know it’s been a while
I’m a bit out of style
But I can see your reactions
And we’re sharing a smile
Becoming who we want to be
Is as easy as 1 2 3.
Well I know what I’ve lost
And I think I’ve been found
You’ve got to break up the groovy
And build it up from the ground
I know it’s not for nothing
I know that nothing’s for free
Maybe I’m on to something
But just don’t take it from me
Becoming who we want to be
Is as easy as, A minor to G, to D.

Chardonnay - Mario Passi ©2015
Get up, roll out of bed
Throw some water on my face
I left my keys somewhere
But I can’t recall the place
It’s really bright out
so I pull down all the shades
The glare is polarized
within the Chardonnay
Let’s eat some Fugu
Let’s drink some lemonade
We can taste the future
No matter how it’s made
Don’t fear the voodoo
Take the jump, don’t be afraid
The answer clarifies
Within the Chardonnay
Chardonnay!
Time I’ve spent with you
It’s very true I have to say
Can’t stop the habit
I must have you everyday
It doesn’t matter
What the people have to say
Can’t stop the habit
Yes its true my chardonnay
Chardonnay!
Get up, roll out of bed
Throw some water on my face
I put my coat on
then I step into the grey
The air is cold and damp
My strings begin to fray
The rain gets washed away
Within the Chardonnay
Chardonnay!

Sellin' Stars - Mario Passi & Jared Grieff ©2015
Hey now, oh my my, Little girl wipe the tears from your eyes
I said hey now, oh my my, It’s a big bad world now, don’t you cry
Hey now, oh my my, some of us live and some will die
I said hey now, oh my my, hey now, oh my my
There’s a man on a roof
Says he’s just about hit the ceiling
There’s a woman below
Say’s she understands the feeling
There’s a man on the street
Looking for something to pack the pipe
There’s a child of 5
Knows there’s nothing wrong in this life
Selling buildings, selling cars, selling dreams, selling stars
There’s a bird in a tree, looking for some air to breathe
There’s a man with a sign, say’s that all he wants is peace
In the building above, men in suits and ties drink wine
That’s what life has become, and now they just can’t keep from crying
There’s a pen with a pad, surely they can’t keep from writing
Just as different men, never going to keep from fighting
Maybe one day the child, he will grow into a man
He will see something wrong, and maybe he will take a stand

Fall Into Your Dreams - Mario Passi ©2015
Sometimes maybe I think too much
Sometimes I’m just out of touch
Sometimes maybe I drink too much
And sometimes, life isn’t what it seems
When we fall into our dreams
Sometimes I am late for work
Sometimes I can be such a jerk
Sometimes I can make things better
Sometimes it’s like stormy weather
Sometimes, I just throw my hands up
And try to keep on pushing through
And sometimes, life isn’t what it seems
When we fall into our dreams
Sometimes there are big surprises
Good things come in strange disguises
Sometimes we are on a roll
Other times we have no control
Sometimes, I just put my game face on
And do the best that I can do
And sometimes life aint what it seems
When we fall into our dreams
Sometimes, as if by magic,
when we have tried all other means
It’s real!
It’s real!
Fall into your dreams

Tugboat

Tugboat - Mario Passi & Jared Grieff ©2015
Tugboat crashing through the trees
I seek the kingpin higher than my stork
I kiss the birds, I touch the bees
I think I hear a jingling, pop the cork
When that wave came crashing to the ground
it made a pretty dreadful sound
Up the fjord and through the trees
compass bearing, lost degrees
Tugboat, tugboat!
Tugboat, tugboat!
Tugboat crashing through the wave
Taken by the Arctic Lions Mane
Pushing past the primal beast
Louder than a raging hurricane|
I pray the earth my soul to take
As the breaker starts to break
Suddenly we’re bottoms up
Careful now, don’t tip the up!
Tugboat, tugboat!
Tugboat, tugboat!
Tugboat, tugboat!
Tugboat, tugboat!
When that wave came crashing to the ground
it made a pretty dreadful sound
Up the fjord and through the trees
compass bearing, lost degrees
As the wave came crashing to the ground
it made a pretty frightful sound
Up the fjord and through the trees
compass bearing, lost degrees
Tugboat crashing through the trees
I seek the kingpin higher than my stork
I kiss the birds, I touch the bees
I think I hear a jingling, pop the cork
Tugboat, tugboat!
Tugboat, tugboat!
Tugboat, tugboat!
Tugboat, tugboat!

Circle Back - Mario Passi ©2015
Well, it’s a Saturday night
and I’ve been waiting all week for you
Got on my pin stripped suit with a snap brim
And boy, she’s a beauty
I know nothing is forever certain
I just want to meet you for a little rendezvous
I don’t want to be your beast of burden
Just wanna circle back baby
Wanna circle back baby, with you
Well I’ve been working all week
Just to try to save some cash
Well, I can offer you much
But I guarantee you’ll have a blast
We can pretend were in the movies
You can be the harlot, I can be the buffoon
I know nothing is forever certain
Just wanna circle back baby
Wanna circle back baby, with you
Well, it’s a Saturday night
And I’ve been waiting all week for you
Have on a pin stripped suit, with a snap brim
and boy, she’s a beauty.
Well I don’t want to be your beast of burden
not asking you to say I do
Just wanna circle back baby
Wanna circle back baby, with you
