In
1973, I was playing in a band called "Moogy and the Rhythm Kings". A friend
of mine named Todd Rundgren asked me to form a band with him. It was to
have a futuristic vision and bringing most of the members of my band with
me, we formed "Utopia".

of mirrors
first, there is peace, - then
there is war
first, she's a virgin, - now
you're calling her a whore
first, there is fire, - then
there is water
first, it's your mama, - now,
it's your daughter
chorus
it's always a surprise, - it's
a crazy world
it'll cut you down to size,
- it's a crazy world
it takes all kinds, - it's a
crazy world
it'll blow your mind, - it's
a crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy world
first, you are rich, - now you
are poor
first, you're in love, - now
she's walking out the door
first, you learn to walk,
- now you're on the run
first, it's your mama, - now,
it's your son
chorus
a fool tells a joke, - a wise
man tells a riddle
about some people to so much
- some people got so little
first you're all right, - now,
you're all wrong
we got tonite - but, will we
see the dawn?
chorus
first, you are so hot - but,
now you got so cold
first, you are so young - but
now you got so old
first, you speak of love - but
now you speak of hate
first, you're always early -
but now, you're always late
I need her loving - love that's
mine and mine alone
oh, it's so lonely - living
on my own
I am the dreamer, dreams are
where she loves to hide
love, hear me calling - calling
from inside
calling from deep inside
chorus
I am crying here, crying here,
crying here
crying to meet my sweet little
ladyface 2 x's
She needs my loving, yes she
feels the way I feel
someday I'll find her, I will
make her real
she dwells in darkness - waiting
for the sun to rise
someday she'll be dawning -
right before my eyes
la, la, la, la, la, la, la,
- 4 x's
dying to meet my sweet little
lady face!
Freak
Parade
by Moogy Klingman, Todd Rundgren
& John Seigler

music
I never was bothered by bad dreams
They never made me afraid
but then I never did dream I'd
wake up
and find me in the freak parade.
I guess I had to find out the
hard way
I shouldn't have been
so proud
cause here I am the main attraction
of every giggle in the crowd.
chorus
in a world full of freaks
you can creep, you can crawl
but the world's biggest freak
is the one with no balls
you know you shouldn't poke fun
at strangers
or pity their case at all
cause there are lots of freinds
and lovers
that take it kind of personal
You might appreciate our position
don't laugh at our freaky ways
cause you might find yourself
tomorrow
marching in the freak parade
chorus
Kindnessit had rained for three days
straight, but the sun was beginning to shine
two riders were approaching,
but they weren't no friends of mine
I called out for Hannah, and
I kept her close to my side
whistled for old Thunder, and
my horse he was ready to ride
chorus
I give you everything I have,
baby - ain't that a kindness
I give you the good with the
bad, baby - ain't that a kindness
I give you my love when you're
sad, baby - ain't that a kindness
but you know a man ain't nothing
without his gun
been on the road six nites and
days, only then did we think we were safe
I heard the sound of two riders
and I did not hesitate
Hannah, she was crying - but,
she wouldn't let go of my leg
Thunder, he was tired - just
a thinking of the better days
chorus
two shots fired, two figures
fell - there was blood flowing over the ground
two men dead in the noon day
sun - but they never even made a sound
Hannah never forgave me - and
I think I know the reason why
when I called out for Thunder
- my horse, he up and died
chorus
Only the Outlaws are Freethere was a man - he came to
this world
with love in his hand - his
banner unfurled
but, they jailed him with their
lies - in the end he was crucified
they'll do it to me - they'll
do it to you
you know that it's true
chorus
when freedom is outlawed
one day it will be
when freedom is outlawed, oh
yeah!
only the outlaws are free, yeah,
yeah - only the outlaws are free
there is a cloud, hanging over
this land
it's looks to rain on down,
each woman and man
cause the freedom that you take
- that's the only freedom that you make
so, I'll take some for you -
if you take some for me
I know we'd agree
chorus
You
see, the thing is.... the main thing I'm trying to tell you ..... what
I'm trying to say is - first, they came for the squeegee men, and I didn't
speak out cause I wasn't a squeegee man. Then, they came for the street
artists, and I didn't speak out, ... I wasn't a street artist. Then, they
came for all the peddlers. I wasn't a peddler so I didn't protest. Then,
they came for all the homeless and all the poor people. And I wasn't a
homeless, poor person. I.... I didn't say anything.
By the time they come for you and me, they'll be no one left to speak up
at all!!
so many people will do what they
can
they're willing to stand on
up, each woman and man
cause the people will be free
- they'll fight back..... wait and see
they'll stand up for you - they'll
stand up for me
I know you'd agree
chorus
Fountain of Youthfountain of youth, a coin tossed
over your shoulder
you could search the whole world
over,
or I could take you there
mountains of truth, just outside
of your window
you could climb the highest
mountain
but, you won't find it there
chorus
time bends - if you know the
secret
somewhere - magic's in the air
time slides - all around and
thru you
faith heals - love is
everywhere
fountain of youth - just this
side of the rainbow
a wise man told a story - and
this is what he said
"when children sing - the music
tells you the secret.
the answer lies within you -
the fountain's in your mind"
chorus
Coney Islandsome girls like an evening at
the opera
some girls think a broadway
show is fine
some women love a week-end in
the Hamptons
but my baby, she's got one
thing on her mind...... her mind
chorus
my baby loves coney island -
my baby thinks it's fine
my baby loves coney island -
we go there all the time
my baby don't like to dance in
no discos or ride on no ocean liner
but you just mention the island
of coney,
and she'll tell ya, "nothing
could be finer"
chorus
one day, while on the island
of coney, into the water I jumped in
I said, "hey baby, why don't
you come on and join me?"
she said, "I would, but I don't
know how to swim"
chorus
my baby told me, "when I die,
I want to go to heaven smiling.
won't you - take me body and
bury it there,
beneath the boardwalk deep in
coney island"
chorus
Undercover Manhey, you better watch your back
don't go messing with the crack
he will be there like a bug,
crawled out from neath a rug
undercover man
don't sell women, don't sell
drugs
don't you hang around with thugs
he will never fail, he will
put your ass in jail
the undercover man
chorus
undercover man - catch me if
you can
try to understand - one day
you will see
with your guns and your hi -
powered agencies
you're no match for me
it was me and Johny C,
little Joey- he made three
Johny C he lied, ate a bullet
and he died,
no more Johny C
lIttle Joey's doing time - got
convicted of that crime
now Joey's good as dead - cause
he's talking to the fed
and the undercover man
chorus
now, I'm out here on my own -
got no woman - got no home
my gun is in my hand for a final
stand
with the undercover man
they just launched a sneak attack
they just shot me in the back
I'm bleeding on the ground -
you won the final round
undercover man
chorus 2
Undercover man - now I understand
there's a master plan - you
were after me
with your goons and hi-end technology
you're the end of me
now i'm sitting here in jail,
- they just revoked my bail
they're reading all my mail
- he don't ever fail
the undercover man
chorus 2
DA: Son - there is a way for
you to get out of this prison.
Convict: There is?
DA: That's right son.
It requires that you do just one thing and you'll go free.
Convict: yeah, yeah.... I'll
do it! What thing is that?
DA: Well, son. We're going to
need you to wear a wire on your old gang.
Convict: Me? A wire?
DA: That's right, son. We want
you to go undercover for us.
Convict: Me? Become an undercover
man?? No, I won't be an undercover man!!
Fuck you!! I won't be an undercover man!!
The
Conquering of the West
by Moogy Klingman copyright
1974 moogy music
In the old west, there were many challenges... battles with Indians (Native Americans),... and the elements ....... coyotes, wolves and bears!!
Empyrewhen I was a boy, I lived in
the home of my mother and my dad
grateful for what they gave
me,
thankful for the friends I had
Now I'm a man and I know that
nothing in this life comes for free
but the dream lives on so deep
inside of me
shining on forever, reaching
higher and higher and higher
it's not easy, when you're trying
to build an empyre
chorus
Empyre - reacher higher
and higher and higher - higher and higher
trying to build me an empyre
I look to the masses of the crowds
of the people that I see there on the street
I see lots of lonely faces,
so lost and in defeat
through this life I traveled,
throught this life I roam
I'm a man with a dream, and
I'm out there all alone
chorus
you could say that I'm strange
you could say I'm no good
you could even call me a no
account liar
you could beat me with sticks,
beat me with stones
cast my body on into the fire
you could do what you want,
you could do what you will
I don't care cause you'll only
inspire me,
and I'm trying to build an empyre!!
shining on forever, reaching
higher and higher and higher
it's not easy, when you're trying
to build an empyre
chorus
Utopiacity in my head - Utopia
heaven in my body - Utopia
it's time for me - for me to
go
city in my head - Utopia
heaven in my body - Utopia
into the sky - it rises now
