Don't Get Owned
02:45
|

People are busy
All of the time
So many working
Just to survive
The prophets calling—
The sky is falling!
Oh…and the wind…
Is growing tall…
How do we profit
Doing what where told?
Are we just products
Being bought and sold?
The prophets calling—
The sky is falling!
Oh…and the wind…
Is growing tall…
Is there more than
This doing duties jive?
There is an answer—
We are alive!
The prophets calling—
The sky is falling!
Oh…and the wind…
Is growing tall…

Fragile Frazzle
03:09
|

So much fragile frazzle, floating in my mind
So much razzle dazzle, dangerous divine
Your pilot seat is empty boy, you’re just on for the ride
We’re carried away by a strange new way
What to say, who to pay, another kind of day
Truth is a lie we wonder why.
Swallow the pill. Believe what you will.
So much blather babble, gushing through our lives
All that random rabble, truth to be denied.
Our pilot seat is empty and we’re just on for the ride
Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah
Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah
Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah
Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah
Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah
Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah
So much fragile frazzle, floating in my mind
So much razzle dazzle, dangerous divine
Your pilot seat is empty boy, you’re just on for the ride.

Its All Around
04:06
|
|||
I steer my gaze up skyward
Stars staring down
It lets me forget this whole town
And what’s around
I send my breath to heaven
It’s like a prayer
I drink the ink of evening air
And I’m not scared
Oh and I know love can be found
Oh and I know it’s all around
I’ve laughed at tenderness and
I’ve lived for thrills
I’ve tried to run off to the hills
Then I stood still
This is my sweet surrender
I cannot hide
Now that I’ve seen the other side
My old life died
Oh and I know love can be found
Oh and I know it’s all around
There’s faces in these big clouds
Lit by the moon
The moon is full of phases too
Like me and you
The sky is always changing
Clouds touch and part
There’s windy spaces in my heart
And that’s a start
Oh and I know love can be found
Oh and I know it’s all around

Dying In Space
03:15
|
|||
Rains of death are falling, falling, falling from the sky.
I'll be damned if I remember any reason why.
I may be damned anyway... running from the cosmic ray-
Thunderpower, the cosmic king:
He ruled and always did his thing.
If fire power brings us down
the cosmic flare will melt his crown
I am hopelessly aglow.
Friend don't touch me - you may go.
Don't be sorry, don't you cry
You may live but I shall die
You may die anyway .. running from the cosmic ray
Thunderpower, the cosmic king:
He ruled and always did his thing.
If fire power brings us down
the cosmic flare will melt his crown
In this fragile spaceship home
There's really nowhere left to roam
We mined the moon and built our grave
I never thought I'd die a slave
I guess we're in the final day .. finally thrown our lives away
We worked in space
We served the race
We died in space
Thunderpower, the cosmic king:
He ruled and always did his thing.
If fire power brings us down
the cosmic flare will melt his crown
We worked in space
We served the race
We died.

All You Humans Are
03:43
|

I know you are upset with what
The world is like—
All you humans are
I know you are acquainted with
Lonely nights—
All you humans are
Throw back the curtain
Let me see you dear
Let me be certain
You are really here…here…here!
I know you are uncertain almost
All the time—
All you humans are
I know you are inclined to chase
A wild ride—
All you humans are
Throw back the curtain
Let me see you dear
Let me be certain
You are really here…here…here!
I know you are a dreamer and a
Wide-eyed child—
All you humans are
I know you are unsure the work is
Worth your while—
All you humans are
Throw back the curtain
Let me see you dear
Let me be certain
You are really here…here…here!

Please Don't Sue Me
02:51
|
|||
Oh, Please don’t sue me.. I don’t have anything to lose but you
And that’s the answer. If you don’t mind I’ll marry you.
I would marry you … if you don’t sue me, dear.
I’ve got something for you that’s better
I’ve got something for you that will last throughout the weather
I’ve got something for you to keep us close, make us cry, make us toast
If you see eye to eye with me …………. you’ll see that together is the way it ought to be.
There’s no reason to bring out the lawyer. We can hang our hats in the foyer.
The foyer of love. The envelope of bliss
The receptacle of everything is the way it is.

Is Is Is

I’m tripping through a meadow with a very good friend of mine.
We’ve been looking at a flower and having a very good time.
If I’d thought of it before, I would have brought some wine
And it is what it is, and I like it that way.
Just being here with you is fine.
Be pleased for the day. These are the days, these are the days.
Be pleased for the day. These are the days, these are the days
Of our lives
I’m crying, I’m dying. Pain is very real.
Do you think I’ll live? I don’t know.
Do you think I’ll be able to feel?
If I’d thought of it before, I would have checked the rope
And it is what it is, and I like it that way. And I haven’t lost my hope.
I’m flowing, I’m blowing. I’m growing every day.
And if we flow together
Well it might work out that way.
If I’d thought of it before, I’d have left my pain behind
And it is what it is, and I like it that way.
Just being here with you is fine.

Holy Moment
02:23
|
|||
Found a face
In this place
A glimpse a glint a sudden little trace
A certain flash
A glow that lasts
A holy moment I can almost grasp
Throw it open, holy moment
Your boy has found his joy
And I know I’m getting down
One more time
Through all the noise
I heard a voice
It whispered “Mister you have got a choice”
“You can brood
In gloom and doom
Or use your blues to bend another groove”
Throw it open, holy moment
Love is like a light
And I know it’s glowing now
One more time
(Don’t think I can tell you something
New, I know you know
We can be as good as what we know)
This glow can show
The way to go
Catch your breath forget what kept you broke
It is clear
That while we’re here
We ride the tide until we disappear
Throw it open, holy moment
While we slip and slide
We know we’re getting down
One more time

The Path
02:45
|

As you seek the path
You’re already on your way
Open the door –
And climb through another day
Tender and strong you go your own way
Wanting to belong to a circle that’s connected and free
Inside and outside
what is the right side ..
Do you feel a guide?
Walk down the lane,
don’t mind the rain
just somebody cried
Tender and strong you go your own way
Wanting to belong to a circle that’s connected and free
As you seek the path
You’re already on your way
Open the door –
And climb through another day
Tender and strong you go your own way
Wanting to belong to a circle that’s connected and free

Why Wait to Be There
02:24
|
|||
The meanest
Bozos among us are
Leaders
They teach us
Nothing that we are in
Need of
Let’s get down to The Party
And have ourselves some fun
Why wait to be there with everyone?
The reach of
The dizzying kiss of our
Freedom
Exceeds us
And leads us to realms beyond
Reason
Let’s get down to The Party
And have ourselves some fun
Why wait to be there with everyone?
Our genius
The grace and the ease of our
Being
Beseeches
The best blessed breath of our
Zenith
Let’s get down to The Party
And have ourselves some fun
Why wait to be there with everyone?

Colour
03:32

Totally wasted lying in bed
Closing my eyes to see the colors in my head
Totally tuned in walking down the street -
I open my eyes to the prisms that I meet.
Red orange yellow green blue indigo violet
When the rain falls the rainbow is my pilot.
Some see black, some see white nothing could be duller
Some see wrong some see right, I see things in color.
Vivid colors shining, always bright ...
Do we see them, hues of golden light?
If life is boring for you I can’t sympathize. You are the only person who can use your pair of eyes.
Pandora’s box playground, Earth is all around. Naming the colors helps me sum up what I’ve found
Red orange yellow green blue indigo violet
When the rain falls the rainbow is my pilot.
Some see black, some see white nothing could be duller
Some see wrong some see right, I see things in color.

One More Time
03:06
|
|||
Looking proud, standing tall
With our backs against the wall
Stuck in the middle of a rumble going on so long
Have we lost? Are we wrong?
Were we cheated all along?
Something in the wind is singing hints of a similar song
We’ve all had more or less of this
One more time
We are all in the mess of this
One more time
There are sirens blaring all around
Everywhere you may be
Do you dream of diving underground
For relief?
Songs on the wind
Something’s blessing us again
Another battle call that’s growing ever tall, my friend
We’ve all had more or less of this
One more time
We are all in the mess of this
One more time
There are sirens blaring all around
Everywhere you may be
Do you dream of diving underground
For relief?
