What Day is Today?
04:24
|
|||
I'm on the other side
The river is too high
I cannot see your face
Do you smile or cry?
I cannot read the signs
Are we close or far?
Is this a final warning?
Or a new beginning?
Say
What day is today?
Say
What day is today?
Am I out of line?
Am I going blind?
I cannot even tell
If the ice is melting or forming
Am I losing you?
Or am I losing me?
I close my eyes again
And shadows pass me by
Here I stand in line
Looking back in time
I'm too numb to feel
Yet too fragile to conceal
Once a cavalier
Now I'm a souvenir
Tucked into a drawer
With antic dolls and smell of mould
Say
What day is today?
Say
What day is today?
Say
What day is today?
Say
What day is today?

Moonlight Dancer

The only time when my mind gets numb when I'm hummin'
Is when I see you come around me
Is when I feel your arms surround me
I lose my ground and my hips, and my feet start swingin'
I don't know what comes down upon me
I don't know where my cool is throwin' me
You play your tricks like a pro as you're flirtin' and smirkin'
I'm sittin' frozen and observin'
Rightfully deservin'
You got me pinned to the ground and my body ain't movin'
But my heart's still groovin'
And my soul's in tune
I'm gonna fly up high with you
Just hold me tight
I'm gonna take a ride with you
Just make me laugh
I wonder when I realize you're just messin' around…
Somebody help me when you're gone
Somebody better take me home
I'm gonna break in half hard and howl as I'm fallin'
I'll wake up early in the mornin'
And tear the curtains down roaring'
I'm gonna fly up high with you
Just hold me tight
I'm gonna take a ride with you
Just make me laugh
I'm gonna fly up high with you
Just hold me tight
I'm gonna take a ride with you
Just make me laugh

She's Kind of Fly
05:22
|

Hello quiet confidence, where have you been?
I guess you couldn’t stick around, no you couldn’t stand the sin
Old subconscious laughter, is he with you my friend?
Have you been hanging out with happy beyond the rainbow’s end?
I’m glad you came to visit, thanks for stopping by
What’s that, you say you’re leaving because I’m getting high
Why can’t you hang with Mary Jane, she’s really kind of fly?
We used to be a trio until you left but why?
You say you were her partner, you were her right hand man
But Mary Jane destroyed you like only Mary can
She made you lose your car keys, forget your master plan
She burned away the world while you held it in your hand
But what about the good times, the times she made us laugh?
She’d help us feel music and dissipate our wrath
Come on now my quiet confidence, Mary’s not all bad
Some of the times I spent with Mary were the best I ever had
I’m glad you came to visit, thanks for stopping by
What’s that, you say you’re leaving because I’m getting high
Why can’t you hang with Mary Jane, she’s really kind of fly?
We used to be a trio until you left but why?
I’m glad you came to visit, thanks for stopping by
What’s that, you say you’re leaving because I’m getting high
Why can’t you hang with Mary Jane, she’s really kind of fly?
We used to be a trio until you left but why?
Sure she makes me sleepy, but only when I’m tired
I’d rather be irie, than continuously wired
More mellow than the fiends I’ve seen society has sired
The only reason most don’t burn is fear of getting fired
You say when Mary’s with you everything is cool
But when she starts to leave she leaves you feeling like a fool
She smothers your ambition and slowly starts to rule
Your every waking moment and you’re more than just a tool
I’m glad you came to visit, thanks for stopping by
What’s that, you say you’re leaving because I’m getting high
Why can’t you hang with Mary Jane, she’s really kind of fly?
We used to be a trio until you left but why?
I’m glad you came to visit, thanks for stopping by
What’s that, you say you’re leaving because I’m getting high
Why can’t you hang with Mary Jane, she’s really kind of fly?
We used to be a trio until you left but why?
I’m glad you came to visit
I’m glad you came to visit
I’m glad you came to visit
I’m glad you came to visit
I’m glad you came to visit, thanks for stopping by
What’s that, you say you’re leaving because I’m getting high
Why can’t you hang with Mary Jane, she’s really kind of fly?
We used to be a trio until you left but why?

Junkies of the Rhythm
03:03
|
|||
Tic-toc, clic-clac… clock hands moving like a picture
Flip-flop, hip-hop, foxtrot… pepper to the mixture
Just shake it
Don't fake it
We're junkies of the rhythm
Don't fake it
Just shake it
We're junkies of the rhythm
Just like always you make a very tall impression
And I glide like a kite, never felt more alive
Just shake it
Don't fake it
We're junkies of the rhythm
Don't fake it
Just shake it
We're junkies of the rhythm
Flying bits of crass and nasty information
You're hot and fuming - so compelled to say "correction", Your Honour
You see right through me and you freeze me with obsession
And I glide like a kite, never felt more alive
Just shake it
Don't fake it
We're junkies of the rhythm
Don't fake it
Just shake it
We're junkies of the rhythm
Just shake it
Don't fake it
We're junkies of the rhythm
Just shake it
Don't fake it
We're junkies of the rhythm
Just shake it
Don't fake it
We're junkies of the rhythm
Just shake it
Don't fake it
We're junkies of the rhythm
And I glide like a kite, never felt more alive

Boggles My Mind
04:51
|
|||
I opened my eyes
Not knowing where I am
Tickled my body
As if it were someone else
Whatever I knew
Seems rather useless now
And what I did not
Is what I wish I had found
It boggles my mind each and every day
So many ways to throw your life away
Beauty is whole with no boundaries
Yet so many fail, just fail to see
Boldness directs me
Daring into the dark
While wisdom betrays me
Quietly in the back
The moments are passing
Ever so very so fast
And I skip a few
Although I am keeping track
It boggles my mind each and every day
So many ways to throw your life away
Beauty is whole with no boundaries
Yet so many fail, they just fail to see
I wish I could turn it
I wish I could hit rewind
Go back to the start
And press play again
I’d take every moment
And hold it with tenderness
Reminding my senses
How I’ve been blessed
It boggles my mind each and every day
So many ways to throw your life away
Beauty is whole with no boundaries
Yet so many fail, just fail to see
It boggles my mind each and every day
So many ways to throw your life away
Beauty is whole with no boundaries
Yet so many fail, they just fail to see

Paranoid Pigeon
03:49
|
|||
Digging deep into my bag of bullshit
I realize I’m just a man
An animal evolving faster
Than evolution’s original plan
Money makes, makes me happy
Twenty dollars for a tan
NASA bought, bought the moon
And the moon men they all ran
Next week we’ll lasso Mars
Incorporate the stars
Every night we all get wasted
At hip new Martian bars
We are so, so complex
We even pay for sex
It is easier than marriage
To generation X
It is time for you to make a decision
Take a step back from your television
Don’t just be another paranoid pigeon
How many wars in the name of religion?
The atheists’ greatest fear
Is the possible power of prayer
So I’ll pray for their souls
And give them all a scare
My favourite part of being
Is the beauty that I’m seeing
When I look at waves and trees
Every envious evil flees
Magic floats, floats in dreams
And I can move the world
The only thing that I need is
An electronic girl
So now I have, have to heave
This final thought at you
If in something you believe
It just might make it true
It is time for you to make a decision
Take a step back from your television
Don’t just be another paranoid pigeon
How many wars in the name of religion?
It is time for you to make a decision
Take a step back from your television
Don’t just be another paranoid pigeon
How many wars in the name of religion?

This Better Be True
03:48
|
|||
So many ideas come to mind
But none of them jive at this time
I wonder if I am not going mad
And just 'cause I do I might be right
It better be true when I open my eyes
Next time around
I don't wanna lose sight
Of what I've just found
This better be good 'cause I'm not in the mood
I don't wanna hear "would, should or could"
I've gone all in just to see it through
I've come all out for a glimpse of you
It better be true when I open my eyes
Next time around
I don't wanna lose sight
Of what I've just found
I wanna be, wanna be, wanna be bound
In this moment alone
Frozen in time, burning inside
Don't let me go
Oh no, oh no
I'm ten feet tall in the dancing hall
Never been more self assured
Stepping on clouds I can dance all night
This better be true or I'll lose my mind
It better be true when I open my eyes
Next time around
I don't wanna lose sight
Of what I've just found
I wanna be, wanna be, wanna be bound
In this moment alone
Frozen in time, burning inside
Don't let me go
Oh no, oh no
Oh no, oh no

Nothing in You
04:29
|
|||
Start it over
I know you're mad as hell
In your head it's been forever
Make it over
Flip it upside down
This idea's time has come
I know it makes you feel uneasy
I know it twists your stomach into knots
You gotta stop trying to please them
You can carry on like this no more
Hurt no longer
Set you spirit free
They come and go just like the wind
Turn it over
A lot has come your way
You can never hold it in your hands
Right and wrong will always be there
Light and dark will be with you all the way
Do not fear your demons
They're just shadows in your way
Nothing in you
Will ever give in
Nothing in you
Will let them win
Nothing in you
Will ever give in
Nothing in you
Will let them win
Nothing in you
Will ever give in
Nothing in you
Will let them win
See it over
Wave farewell for good
Turn your back and let them have a look
Now the rain has started beating
And the engines' roar has slowly died
Clouds are moving fast and swiftly
Throwing spells over your naked mind
Shadows casting murky feelings
Full of promises of splendid life
Nothing in you
Will ever give in
Nothing in you
Will let them win
Nothing in you
Will ever give in
Nothing in you
Will let them win

The Edge on Which We Run
03:40
|
|||
How can the queen defy me?
For I know one day she’ll rely on me
To bust on her bishops and wrestle her rooks
Diagonal her deities and take all she took
I’ll simplify my strategy
While the government gets fat on me
So cover your king or castle instead
Cause the mob is shouting “Off with his head!”
Too late to turn? Too late to stop?
We’re all too busy having fun
Can we sustain such deep distain?
Can the game even be won?
It doesn’t matter where I’m at
Upon this giant checkered board
This game of life cannot be won
Until my soul has soared
Even though the world we know
Is a game that’s nearly done
One culture coming closer
to the edge on which we run
Even though the world we know
Is a game that’s nearly done
One culture coming closer
to the edge on which we run
So send that queen across to me
Cause I love how she looks - so lost and lonely
Perish my pawns, knife all my knights
Crucify my castles, I’ve yet begun to fight
They’re legions of allegiance
But let me pose this question to you
As you dance into the dawn
On the checkered board of life
Aren’t you tired of being a pawn?
Now when you’re faced with checkmate
Won’t you join and sing with me
Even though I’m just a pawn
I can still kill the King!
I can still kill the King! I can still kill the King!
Even though the world we know
Is a game that’s nearly done
One culture coming closer
to the edge on which we run
Even though the world we know
Is a game that’s nearly done
One culture coming closer
to the edge on which we run

Fools Refuse to Learn
04:18
|
|||
Trying to teach a lesson
Fools refuse to learn
Starting out my sermon
While the world begins to burn
My voice it is the thunder
Loud across the land
And this time they will listen
Listen to my plan
Suicide king and one-eyed jack
Hearts are red, but some are black
Twos are wild, and so I am stacked
The queen of hearts, she’s got my back
At least I tried to tell them
At least I tried to warn
Don’t be such a victim
Beware the coming storm
I stand upon my pulpit
Arms raised to the sky
Four horsemen in the distance
And I begin to cry
I know that they won’t listen
I know that they are doomed
They’re lost within their drama
Inside their TV tubes
Men with moustache, the ace of spades
Straight royal flush is what I laid
Down for you, so I can say
I’ve won the world, the world is saved
At least I tried to tell them
At least I tried to warn
Don’t be such a victim
Beware the coming storm
At least I tried to tell them
At least I tried to warn
Don’t be such a victim
Beware the coming storm
