Homeland 02:28
lyrics
buy track
We're coming from a belted rust In our leaders we don't trust Been battered and left in the dust. Angry not sure where to go Build a wall at Mexico Who gets locked up I don't know Hope it won't be me. Home is where we place our bets Home is where we pay our debts Wonder if I have regrets Cause I'm still not free.. As we put our nation first How much blood will quench our thirst? Could it go from bad to worse? I have seen my brother try to soldier for his country's lie Now I hear his widow cry Better safe than free. I don't claim to understand What it takes to run our land We got a man with his master plan How did this come to be? How will we learn to see what it means to be free?

Heat It Up 02:33
lyrics

Heat it up just a little more Break yourself free from another chore Heat it up just a little more Won’t you make peace with the boy next door? We just broke the cable and are free to swing Just leave it there I can see what you’ve been reaping Gonna get your share Gonna get your share ‘Cause fair is fair Gonna get your share What you go stashed there in your drawers Itching to jump out? A kind of cash that cures the poor Without a doubt Without a doubt So let it out So let it out Heat it up just a little more Break yourself free from another core Heat it up just a little more Won’t you make peace with the boy next door? The evening’s growing deeper and the wine is sweet Set yourself on down Once you see it, it’s no secret Our time is now Our time is now Our time is now Our time is now

Falling Star 03:19
lyrics

He caught a falling star And put it in his pocket Saved it for a rainy day Used his thoughts for fuel And sailed off on a rocket Better than the other way All I have is this power In my mind History’s treating me So unkind The voices and the noise The slander and the gossip Brothers tear each other down A little drop of love Drips from a rusty faucet All the other poisons drown. All I have is this power In my mind History’s treating me So unkind Rulers use the rules To fill their bulging pockets Slaves to all the games they play Lovers live to love What plugs them in the socket To power them another way All I have is this power In my mind History’s treating me So unkind

Joy For Living 02:10

I saw a piece of paper flutter to the floor today CouId a been a ticket to another place to play Oh joy for living – yeah All the lovin’ and forgivin’ – yeah Saddled in the minute it’s the moment I’m in it, whoa Do I have a choice, do I have a voice? I don’t know Oh joy for living – yeah All the taking and the giving – yeah Loving kindness just might bind us in moments that we share Loving kindness just might bind us if we stay aware Oh joy for living – yeah All the loving and forgiving – yeah

Sweep Me Up 03:16
lyrics
buy track
Sweep Me Up Søren Kierkegaard, Danish philosopher, man of God... His last words were … Sweep me up I’m getting tired Sometimes it’s sad There is a wire I’ve got to grab It’ll tug me through my troubles It’ll get me past That crack that’s always smiling … in the broken sky Sweep me up and let me loose I’ll fly! Sweep me up A cloud of sea birds swims in the sky A flock of surfers Flies on the tide I float in flowing motion It’s quite a ride The wind is thick as water. The water’s smooth as wind Sweep me up let me begin.. Again- Sweep me up! Sweep me up on high! Sweep me up in the breast of the sky when I die And I’ll fly in the soul of the wind. When I see how the birds surf the waves in the air My guess is heaven is this- That crack is always smiling in the broken sky Sweep me up and let me loose I’ll fly. Sweep me up

Astroplane 03:47

Astroplane Astroplane Astroplane Sunset hangin' in the sky (in the space of the travel) Someone, please tell me why (Just in case we unravel) Come listen to a story bout a shiny silver jet It has flown the transdimension, it will never fall not yet! It’s my inner sense of balance, it’s my outer sense of life It sparks eternal daydreams - looking glass delights Astroplane Astroplane Sunset hangin' in the sky (in the space of the travel) Someone, please tell me why (Just in case we unravel) I'm coasting through a cloud... on which you all must stand Until I make my mind up to leave you there and land You're my sudden whim of value, your my playthings but alas My Astroplane is falling, I've used up all my gas. Astroplane Astroplane Sunset hangin' in the sky (in the space of the travel) Someone, please tell me why (Just in case we unravel) My flight is nearly over, my race is nearly run I won't ask for your help cause I know what I've done... I'm sorry that I hurt you, my walls are closing in. But I have followed virtue and you have followed sin!

Got To Go 05:01
lyrics

Got To Go So many places I don’t want to be So many faces I don’t want to see Wishing I could be a spirit floating in the sky Listening to the wind whisper advice I wither in water and burn in the air I cough in the fog like I’m saying a prayer Wishing I could be a spirit floating in the sky Listening to the wind whisper advice Oh you’d better know Something’s gonna find you out A gravity below Tugging from the underground When you’re feeling low You know there’s always further down You know you’ve got to go But you can’t find your way out They’ve said it before and they’ll say it again We’ve all got to go but we can never know when We will fill the air as spirits floating in the sky Swimming in the winds of paradise You have always known that something’s gonna hunt you down A gravity below Tugging from the underground All that you’ve been shown Is all that you have come to doubt You know you’ve got to go But you can’t find your way out All that you’ve been shown Is all that you have come to doubt You know you’ve got to go But you can’t find your way out

Who Knows What To Do 02:14
lyrics

Who Knows What To do? There's a man who laughs all day- When the children come to play-.. I don't know, he might not know what he's doing. He's gone too far astray, well he can''t come home today.. I don't know, but he might not know what he's doing. Does anybody really know - the reason why? All they say's you got to play a serious game to get by There's a voice inside of you tells you what you're gonna do I don't know, but you might not know what you are doing. I said .I do not know, but you might not know what you're doing.. My mind has got unwound I lost I had found.. I don't know, but I just might not know what I'm doing. I said .I do not know, but I might not know what I'm doing.

Soon This Will Be Gone 03:32
lyrics

Soon This Will Be Gone I’m all alone in my little room And I don’t know what I’m gonna do. The world outside me howls and moans I don’t want to go out.. I’ve got to though And so I go out into the street To buy a dose to still the ghosts in me A little whiskey, a little beer Could be just enough to ease my fear. Soon this will be gone, soon this will be gone Soon this will be gone, soon this will be gone And so I roam through the glaring night And I am shown some amazing sights People hungry for what’s not there And they watch and wait, they stare and stare I move along toward a corner store And there’s a woman standing by the door. She leers at me with insect eyes Like the soul in her completely died Soon this will be gone, soon this will be gone Soon this will be gone, soon this will be gone Goodbye, I’ll fade into the sky One night, when the time is right I buy my booze and get back on the street Head to my room and the sirens scream That cold and burning icy shriek Throws a shiver through the soul in me And then I’m home in my little room I drink my dose and don’t know what to do I know that somewhere there are men Who know that we must lose so they can win. Soon this will be gone, soon this will be gone Soon this will be gone, soon this will be gone

Breakdown 03:15

Breakdown Breakdown, breakdown Down Down Down! Cost too much to eat to live in the street - or anywhere else Prices get higher .. like a raging fire .. Nothing seems to help! Who bears the blame of the millions insane? You and I! Breakdown, breakdown Down Down Down! Vote for the guy with the colorful tie ... or anyone else! Follow the man with the master plan ... and check the results! Who bears the brunts of the government stunts? You and I! Breakdown, breakdown Down Down Down! Whatever you do .. hey think it through ... for everyone else! We've got it inside .. its a rising tide .. and its gonna pack welts! So up with your thumbs .. if the breakdown comes ..and your still alive Facing ahead you bury the the dead .. continue to thrive .. Who rebuilds the world that humanity hurled? You and I! Breakdown, breakdown Down Down Down!

No Hiding Place 02:47
lyrics

There’s No Hiding Place I went up to the hills To hide my lonely face The hills were quick to tell me There ain’t no hiding place. There’s no hiding place There’s no hiding place There ain’t no escape… There’s no hiding place I went up to a man With eyes like glowing stones And through a slow sad smile He told me what I know There’s no hiding place There’s no hiding place There ain’t no escape… There’s no hiding place I went to see the man With the medicine And after flying high I really understand There’s no hiding place There’s no hiding place There ain’t no escape… There’s no hiding place I asked a lovely lady “Will you be my wife”? She said, “If I will It still won’t save your life…” There’s no hiding place There’s no hiding place There ain’t no escape… There’s no hiding place

Just Over Your Head 03:58
lyrics

Just Over Your Head I’ve been filling your orders It’s been getting me down I’m making dates with your daughters I’m gonna show them around. I’m gonna show them around Gonna drive to the border On the far side of town Gonna dive in the water. Gonna swim in the sound. I’m gonna swim in the sound There’s a popular doctor Dealing drugs you don’t need They are all made to stop you From being able to see. From being able to see. Clouds in a clowns’ mouth overhead Just over your head Whispers twisting through the wind Just over your head … Ah, just over your head There’s a glow in the twilight Like a hole in the sky There’s a silence at midnight The stars are shimmering eyes. The stars are shimmering eyes Clouds in a clowns’ mouth overhead Just over your head Whispers twisting through the wind Ah, just over your head … Ah, just over your head
