The Taco Club
Come join us at the Taco Club Where it is Tuesday every day And we have specials you can't get At places like Big Band Cafe The way is plain, the choice is clear, So make it now, and make it well -- The Taco Club should be preferred For all the shock you could want in A shell

To share is human:
native secret
find us in the circling water, hear us by the flowing stream, feel the falling phantoms falter, families and dancing dreams where the yelling stops to whisper, by the native secret kept, find us near the tangled branches, sorrow spun, and lately, slept
To share is human:
New Heights
Where we had never ventured We had room, at least, to dream — Responsibilty spread In whispers to the new heights
To share is human:
In a search
In a search for your regard, I lost my identity: A cost that I paid to get Your free indifference
To share is human:
Among Kisses
Among kisses of color We breathed in the first moments, A thirst from deep within us Seeking out deeper waters
