Big Guitar 04:16
When the Sun is shy, it hides behind the clouds If you think your getting higher, don't look down Don't let your ego lead you, you don't need to be so proud If you think your getting lost among the crowd Just have faith in who you are, and do your best to learn Go ahead and fly up against the Sun, cause your wings can't burn Climb inside, behind my lovers eyes... Warm tea, under the pepper tree... ba ba ba ba ba ba ba I want to know what this is! I feel like a baby boy!
2.
Sleep all day, don't go outside to play Get up now, you forgot to call your mom It's summertime out here, get off the phone Hanging out to dry, it's so wet out here... I wander why Get up now, you forgot to call your mom Look outside, your laundry is in a storm I could have learned something if someone believed in me I could have loved somebody if I could just love myself You got yourself caught up in the storm, you didn't like it wound up coming on home... I believed in you
3.
Take me for a ride, take me for a ride, take me for a ride... In your new car... oh yeah! Black Cadillac, baby blue Corvair, shinny new Datsun with dice hanging in the mirror. If you don't take me for a ride, I'm gonna cry Take me for a ride, I'm not gonna cry If you take me for a ride I won't scream and yell, I promise I'm gonna scream and yell!
4.
You brought me a broken down soul, and I fixed it up Yeah I fixed it up! Don't be afraid of loosing control, yeah just give it up! I mean surrender... yeah just give it up! cause you never had it... Hear the sound we're singing and you'll fell the fire inside. You brought me a broken down soul, and I fixed it up! Yeah I fixed it up! No doubt about it, now you can have it, reach out and grab it!
5.
Here, in outer space, driving down the Milky Way All the way, the stars pave the sky for you and I Dreaming of home... I can almost see the earth from here Dreaming of home... I can almost hear the sea You should be lighter now, able to float around Regulate your temperature, oxygen, and blood pressure Reaffix your tubing again
6.
Grace 05:03
I discovered love and life are on the shore Sometimes waves crash, tides pull hope right out to sea come on, we're waiting at the door! You've got to give a little more! Come on, we're waiting at the door! You've got to live a little more, come on! You know it's true... Do you see this face? I don't want you to give up! I want to see your grace, flying up and high above! I can't tell you all their schemes and all those plans But their great expectations are very, very grand They'll reach a fitting end...
7.
Wayside 03:36
Waiting for a train down to wayside His golden hair combed and brushed Holding tickets for the wayside He's not bothered nor is he rushed All aboard the train to wayside Looks at his baggage one more time He sees all the life that he has wasted so there on the street his luggage will lye All aboard the train to wayside The tracks run smooth and the lady brings him a drink He thinks all that could be has just begun He thinks and he drinks all the way down to wayside He sings every song there is to be sung All aboard the train to wayside
8.
You Gotta Go 03:47
Hey, get paid and be the father of your own design Hey, don't hate! You'll keep it in you till your old and grey Decide, don't fake! It's not a question of who's right or wrong... Yeah, and if you change, that's O.K. cause we won't miss you... don't make that mistake No no no! Hey hey hey! everybody will change, that's O.K. But they told you, No! So, don't be afraid... if you've to say, I'm not O.K. today You've got to go! You've got to run! You've got to hit the sun!
9.
Off My Head 04:43
Dodlo doo.. dodlo do doo.. dodlo doo.. dodlo do doo How's your morning? I'm off my head! How's your morning? I'm off my head! When your building and creating from deep down in that soul and it's coming up from all around You see down in that hole to see to much is dangerous it terrifies some deep But it's in our souls to see both sides and break the make believe The ground is all shadows, waiting for the rain To wash my soul clean and make me feel sane I'm off of my Head!
10.
Come On Down 04:22
So if you still aren't feeling right Come on down to our house tonight Lemonade, pumpkin pie, all the things you like Come on down to our house tonight Tell the truth, we're all lost in our youth Don't be ashamed if you feel the same way we do Come on down to our house tonight
11.
Octopi 05:02
Do you often wonder why All the love is sucked out of you dry How about that latest one That yellow bellied, F'in son of a gun What are the damages? Do you want to see me peel off the bandages? What mistake have I done? Dragin' up the past... For a few good years that should have last! I can feel you next to me like the ocean over me and I can pull you close to me like an OCTOPI
12.
Sweat 03:41
We all get to live, we're all gonna die What some people do with it, I'll never know why But your gonna give in, and we're gonna fly I'm gonna sweat, and your gonna cry... ooo baby! SWEAT So what's it gonna be? How do you make your way? Are you aware of your self? Or do you sleep through your day? You better get living! It's gonna be O.K. Your gonna make it... no, you don't have to fake it, baby! Not with me, honey! SWEAT

Show 03:55
You went along with all their lies You didn't seem to realize You went along with all their lies You couldn't see through their disguise Show me something! I still remember days so clear Days without struggle, days without fear I know the day is long, believe me I know But everyday you've got to show I want you to show me something!
14.
How soft and mellow do I feel when your around All my cares flow, falling leaves lay all around And I surrender to the rain, it washes all my fears away Until the sunrise! I'll be your spotlight! I'll shine on you tonight! Until the sunrise! So we'll set off for golden fields and dry cool shade I know this sounds lazy But I just can't work on this fine day When I'm captured in your gaze It chases all my cares away You are the daytime And with you comes growth are bright colored things I am the night time, Mystery flowing through my veins I'm as gentle as the rain as I wash over you again Until the Sunrise!
15.
The sun will rise in the morning Here it comes now to dry your tears The wind will blow a subtle warning A whisper that will caress your ears Water will fall and grow the flowers Midnight will call the wolves and owls Sunlight will bathe the trees branches Moonlight will shine in colorless flashes Hurricanes howl and pound the ground Don't hide in a cave! The world is turning all around sometimes your standing upside down The gravity keeps you stuck with your feet on the ground Don't let the earth shake you down Swim for your life or you will drown Listen hard to the sound of love A very long time ago the raging sea was a volcano Purple sky lit by stars and time was slow time was unknown
16.
Green of the rainbow, from L.A. Brought up on the California Sun You are the one, the one for me Green of the rainbow, don't want to do you no harm I want to run away with you, I want to live on a farm... With you... Green of the rainbow cause I know you like animals too... and I love you All your life, you wander in the Sun After the rains come, you have your fun Green of the rainbow... you are the one

Mark'lar 03:05
Moving they are but they cease to exist without proper knowledge of certain substances of the universe of man and mankind, of demons of gargoyles , or girlgoyles of boygoyles and human trust trust you say, trust is not in my vocabulary it's not there, vocabulary is not there it's trust for ones own psyche (growl) Moon! Get out of my way moon! The earth is coming moon! Fucking get out of the way! I'm going to the sun, Mercury, Mars and Venus and other places non existent , existence of all kinds Yeah! I would never say "Yeah Baby" in a song because "Yeah Baby" has been used too much. YEAH BABY! Moon Ma-M-M-M-Moon!!! Moon Sun, goddess of hell fire as she bands over and is placed entirely all the way in ALL THE WAY IN! And never coming back out.

Bugs & Bees 05:07
I like to see the Sun on the water I like to feel the wind on my face as I laugh at the human race from up in the air Someday you'll be just a bug on the water The wind will blow you from place to place I want to be able to walk on the water I want us to fly into outer space And she'll be there, we'll both be there... If it's not a dream... I want to be a bug on the water I want to be a bug up in space as I laugh at the human race From up in the air She gave me love so long... no one ever gave me love so long
19.
Eyes Nose 07:40
You ain't got no friends Joan Why don't you come back home People don't treat you like they should I've got a cabin made of wood You belong right by my side I know what you want to do! Eyes, nose, shoulders, knees and toes!
