THINK OF ME
When you see those geese in the sky, think of me
I can spread my wings and fly just like them
And I can gallop across your open prairie
While I dive below your deepest sea
Think of me

I'm gonna live long and I'm happy to report it back to you
It's a window world and I saw a sign on the highway too
As I flew over the wires and observed you livin'
Like you haven't had the chance to do
Think of me

Well, I've got to finish up and get out of here right now
I can slither in the ditches and cross below the roads
But when you cross your heart and you hope to die
And your dreams come tumbling down
Think of me
Think of me, think of me

When you see those geese in the sky, think of me
I can spread my wings and fly just like them
I can gallop across your open prairie
While I dive below your deepest sea
Think of me
Think of me, think of me

SHE SHOWED ME LOVE
You might say I'm an old white guy

I'm an old white guy
You might say that

If I tell you what I see (What I see)
You might not believe me (What I see)
I saw old white guys trying to kill mother nature (What I see)
Who they disparage?
I saw old white guys trying to kill mother nature

(She showed me love)
And I know she has a way with things
(She showed me love)
And now I see the light that brings
(She showed me love)

You might say I'm a few bricks short of a load
I'm a few bricks, I'm a few bricks short of a load
You might say that

If I tell you where I've been (Where I've been)
You might think I've lost my mind (Where I've been)
I saw young folks fighting to save mother nature (Where I've been)
I saw them standing (Where I've been)
I saw them standing for themselves
I saw young folks fighting to save mother nature

(She showed me love)
And I know she has a way with things
(She showed me love)
And now I see the light that brings
(She showed me love)

You might say I've been down a few road
I've been down a few roads
You might say that

If I tell you what I seen (What I've seen)
You might not believe me (What I've seen)
'Cause I saw mother nature pushing Earth in a baby carriage
In a baby carriage
I saw mother nature pushing Earth in a baby carriage

(She showed me love)
(She showed me love)
(She showed me love)

(She showed me love) x 68

OLDEN DAYS
Where have you been, my long-lost friend?
We haven't talked since way back when
And how is life with your new love
I hope she's something from above

Something happened yesterday
I need to talk to you
Now I'm finding out you moved away
I'm reaching out to you today

I saw you walking in the past
You said your love would always last
Then I saw you all alone
Said your heart had turned to stone

Nothing matters anyway
I thought I heard her say to you
Nothing matters anyway
Then she walked away from you

There was laughter in the air
The children all were there
Playing in the warming sun
Counting dreamers, one-by-one

I'm living in the olden days
I found my friends along the way
Some are here with me right now
Some have disappeared somehow

Where did all the people go?
Why did they fade away from me?
They meant so much to me and now I know
That they're here to stay in my heart


HELP ME LOSE MY MIND
Nothing bothers me ‘cause I’m so happy
Might look like it does but that means nothin'
I got a face that gets me in trouble
I got a voice that does its damage

But I’m rescued now and this is all in my head
I gotta win somehow and lose this mind instead
It’s always working on finding my weakness
How I was made to feel and can’t forget
Can’t forget, can’t forget, can’t forget

I’m tryin’ to make my way past this moment
And move along ‘til I’m new again
I got my history that won’t be leavin’
I gotta get somewhere where that’s not me

I gotta find a new television
I got to find a new display system
To make the sky look like the Earth is flattened
I gotta get someone to sort this out
Out for me, out for me, out for me

Won’t someone help me lose my mind?
Won’t someone help me lose my mind?
Won’t someone help me lose my mind?

Gotta find myself a new television
Gotta get a new display system
To make the sky look like the Earth is flattened
I gotta get someone to sort this out for me
Out for me, out for me, out for me

Won’t someone help me lose my mind?
Won’t someone help me lose my mind?
Won’t someone help me lose my mind?


GREEN IS BLUE
We watched the old News
Distracted
As they talked on and on
In the usual way

About the latest lies
Deceptions
We saw tomorrow
We longed for a better day

And I know why green is blue
There’s so much we didn’t do
Oh I know why green is blue

We heard the warning calls
Ignored them
We watched the weather change
We saw the fires and floods

We saw the people rise
Divided
We fought each other while we
Lost our coveted prize

There’s so much we didn’t do
That we knew we had to do
And we know why green is blue

We watched the species die
We saw the coral turnin’
We watched the oceans rise

We saw the pod of whales
Lay bloated
On the shore where they baked
But we missed that sign

We saw the polar bear
She floated
On a piece of ice
From another time

So I know…


SHUT IT DOWN
I had to shut the whole system down
I had to shut the whole system down
People try to save this Earth
From an ugly death
I had to shut the whole system down
People trying to live workin’
In a world to meet that threat

Had to shut the whole system down
All around the planet there’s a blindness
That just can’t see
I had to shut the whole system down
They’re all wearing climate shades
As cool as they can be
I had to shut the whole system down
Shut it down, shut it down
Shut it down, shut it down

Have to shut the whole system down
That’s the only way we can all be free
Have to shut the whole system down
Start again and build it for eternity

Have to shut the whole system down
What about the animals? 
What about the birds and bees?
Have to shut the whole system down
What about the bookshelves? 
What about the history?

Have to shut the whole system down
Shut it down, shut it down
Shut it down, shut it down

Shut it down, shut it down
Shut it down, shut it down

Have to shut the whole system down
When I look at the future
I see hope for you and me
Have to shut the whole system down
Working, working for eternity
Working now, working now
Have to shut the whole system down, working now

When I look to the future
I see hope for you and me
Have to shut the whole system down
Working for eternity

Have to shut the whole system down
Have to shut the whole system down
Have to shut the whole system down


MILKY WAY
She was lookin’ like a friend of mine
The first time I saw her face
I was approaching at the end of the line
The first time I ever saw her
Smile at me that way

I was sailing in the Milky Way
Losing track of memories
That weren’t that day
Right by her side
As the stars flew by I did collide
With memory but somehow
I survived and became free

She was walking like she knew
Where she was going
Walking like she knew
She was walking right up to me

I was sailing in the Milky Way
Losing track of memories
That weren’t that day
Right by her side
As the stars flew by I did collide
With memory but somehow
I survived and became free

A starry night with no moon shinin'
A day without a cloud
A long ladder, but no one climbin'
A stranger in the crowd

There’s a mermaid in the Milky Way
With an ocean liner
There’s no moon tonight
So you might see her
And her ocean liner up in the stars

I was sailing in the Milky Way
Losing track of memories
That weren’t that day
Right by her side
As the stars flew by I did collide
With memory but somehow
I survived and became free


ETERNITY
Woke up this morning in a house of love
The birds were singin’ in the sky above
The dogs were barkin’ and the deer were free
And we were livin’ in a house of love

Woke up this mornin’ in a house of love
Oh fortunate me
I hope we’re livin’ in a house of love
For eternity

Click clack clickety-clack whooo
Eternity
Click clack clickety-clack whooo
Eternity
Click clack clickety-clack whooo
Eternity

Then we were ridin’ in my old car
Along the coast and under the stars
Your hair was blowin’ and the top was down
And we were headin’ to my home town

We kept rollin’ cause you can’t go back
Got stopped at the railroad track
The train of love was rollin’ by
I reached over and touched your hand
Waitin’ on the train of love

Click clack clickety-clack whooo
Click clack clickety-clack whooo
The train of love
Click clack clickety-clack  whooo
The train of love
Click clack clickety-clack whooo
Eternity
Click clack clickety-clack whooo
Click clack clickety-clack whooo
Click clack clickety-clack whooo
Click clack clickety-clack whooo
Eternity
Click clack clickety-clack whooo
Eternity
Click clack clickety-clack


RAINBOW OF COLORS
There’s a rainbow of colors
In the old USA
No one’s gonna whitewash
Those colors away

Now I know some might tell me
That there’s not room for all
And they should just go back
To the places they fall

Where their lives lie there broken
With no chance left at all
And the leaders have spoken
On that side of the wall

There’s a rainbow of colors
In the old USA
No one’s gonna whitewash
Those colors away

But this I can tell you
We the people are strong
And we know that our brothers
And our sisters in song
Will always sing with us
And will always be strong
When the people have spoken
And the walls are all gone

There’s a rainbow of colors
In the old USA
No one’s gonna whitewash
Those colors away


I DO
Show me that garden in the sun that you saw
Let me see the flowers and the bees before they fall
I know that you says they'll always be there
I know you're not worried and I know you care
And I know you ask all the same questions I do
I do, I do

Show me that flock of birds that filled the sky
Let me see the way they block the sun from my eye
I know you said they'd always be there
I know you're not worried, I know you care
I know you ask all the same questions I do
I do, I do

Why do I believe in you?
Why do I believe in you?
Why do I believe in you?

Show me that water in the stream that you saw
Let me see the sparkling clean and the fish swimming on
I know you said they'll always be there
I know you're not worried, I know you care
I know you ask all the same questions I do
I do, I do, I do

Thanks for making all this happen again
We're gonna do it just like we did back then
I know that you said you'd always be there
And I know you're not worried, and I know you care
I know you ask all the same questions I do
I do, I do, I do

Why do I believe in you?
Why do I believe in you?
Why do I believe in you?

MANY MOONS AGO IN THE FUTURE
Many moons ago in the future
When the womenfolk had rightfully just about given up on us
A mangy group of outlaws hid out by a precious water source
While the real bad guide quietly stole the seas of life
Thankfully music still helped our spirits fly.

SHOW ME
Show me
Show me
Show me
Show me

Do you see people's lives being lost on the sacred land
And the battle over water being fought for the baby's hand

Show me
Show me
Show me
Show me

When the women of the world are free to stand up for themselves
And the promises made stop gathering dust on the shelf

Show me
Show me

PARADOX PASSAGE 1
(Instrumental)

HEY
(Instrumental)

PARADOX PASSAGE 2
(Instrumental)

DIGGIN' IN THE DIRT (CHORUS)
Diggin’ in the dirt
That’s our way of life
Diggin’ through the day and through the night
Diggin’ for the things that’ll make us feel alright
Diggin’ in the dirt


PARADOX PASSAGE 3
Looks like a full corn moon
Yep, or a barley moon
Magic time


PEACE TRAIL

Up in the rainbow, teepee sky
No one's looking down on you or I
That's just a mirror in your eye
Ain't taken my last hit yet
I know that things are different now
(I see the same old signs
But something new is growing)
Don't think I'll cash it in yet
Don't think I'll put down my last bet
(I'm gonna keep my hand in
Because something new is growing)

Think I'll hit the Peace Trail
Take a trip back home to my old town
'Cause everyone back there says
Something new is growing

Up in the rainbow, teepee sky
No one's looking down on you or I
It's just a mirror in our eye
If I believe in someone
I have to believe in myself
(I have to take good care
When something new is growing)
The world is full of changes
Sometimes all these changes make me sad
(But I keep planting seeds
Till something new is growing)

I think I'll hit the Peace Trail
I know that treasure takes its time
(I have to take good care
When something new is growing)
I think I'll hit the Peace Trail
I think I like my chances now
(I have to take good care
When something new is growing)
I think I'll hit the Peace Trail
I think I'll hit the Peace Trail now
Because something new is growing


POCAHONTAS
Aurora borealis
The icy sky at night
Paddles cut the water
In a long and hurried flight
From the white man to the fields of green
And the homeland we've never seen.

They killed us in our tepee
And they cut our women down
They might have left some babies
Cryin' on the ground
But the firesticks and the wagons come
And the night falls on the setting sun.

They massacred the buffalo
Kitty corner from the bank
The taxis run across my feet
And my eyes have turned to blanks
In my little box at the top of the stairs
With my Indian rug and a pipe to share.

I wish a was a trapper
I would give thousand pelts
To sleep with Pocahontas
And find out how she felt
In the mornin' on the fields of green
In the homeland we've never seen.
Pocahontas


COWGIRL JAM
(Instrumental)

ANGEL FLYING TOO CLOSE TO THE GROUND
(That was good
Yeah, it was
We’ll relax and smoke a beer over here
Smoke a beer
Sip a joint
Hell of a fire
It’s a nice fire, it’s good)

If you had not have fallen
I would not have found you
Angel flying too close to the ground
I patched up your broken wing
And hung around a while
Tryin’ to keep your spirits up and your fever down

I knew someday that you would fly away
Love is the greatest healer to be found
So leave me if you need to, I will still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground

So fly on, fly on past, the speed of sound
I'd rather see you up than see you down
So leave me if you need to, I will still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground

Leave me if you need to, I will still remember
Angel flying too close to the ground


PARADOX PASSAGE 4
(Instrumental)

DIGGIN' IN THE DIRT
There’s a bunch of boulders down in the valley
Under every one there’s a jewel
Maybe I should go down there
Find out for myself
Maybe I’m somebody’s fool

There’s a bunch of boulders down in the valley
And under every one there’s a jewel
Maybe I should go down there
Find out for myself
Maybe I’m somebody’s fool

Diggin’ in the dirt
That’s our way of life
Diggin’ through the day and through the night
Diggin’ for the things that’ll make us feel alright
Diggin’ in the dirt

Well the moon’s so big and round
It’s hard to keep our feet on the ground
‘Cause every time we play
They start to fly
We’re floatin’ around in space
But we can’t forget our place
We keep diggin’ in the dirt

Diggin’ in the dirt
That’s our way of life
Diggin’ through the day and through the night
Diggin’ for the things that’ll make us feel alright
Diggin’ in the dirt


PARADOX PASSAGE 5
I think he’s out there takin’ a leak
I think I heard the call of the silver Eagle


RUNNING TO THE SILVER EAGLE
(Instrumental)

BABY WHAT YOU WANT ME TO DO?
You got me peeping, got me hiding
You got me hiding, peeping, hiding, where you want me
Let it roll, yeah, yeah, yeah
You got me doing what you want me
Baby when you wanna let go?


PARADOX PASSAGE 6
(Instrumental)

OFFERINGS
(Instrumental)

HOW LONG?
How long?
Baby, how long?
Further on up the road
Somebody’s gonna hurt you
Like you hurt me

Further on up the road
Somebody’s gonna hurt you
Like you hurt me
Further on up the road
Just you wait and see

Now you’re laughing pretty baby
Someday you gonna be cryin’
I went down to the station
Well, I saw there was no train

How long?
How long?
How long?
How long?

HAPPY TOGETHER
No matter how they toss the dice, it had to be
The only one for me is you, and you for me
So happy together
I can't see me lovin' nobody but you, ba-ba-ba-ba

TUMBLEWEED
Tumbleweed
Your inner’s beauty
Is a peace sign to me
Life is full of little tricks and
We can always pick up sticks and build again
That’s what we do

Harmony
The way we hold on
When we tumble
Through the night
Life is full of strange delights and
In the darkness we find lights to make our way
Back home again

Tumbleweed I’m barin’ my soul
To you
Tumbleweed It’s all that I’ve got
That’s true

Bite me now
With your confusion
Your happiness
And delight
It will only hurt a moment
Then it’s gone and you can see there’s nothing left
To leave a mark

Animal
Care for your kind
In the way you always do
When the flower moon is shining
It’s eclipse and your lips smilin’ comfort me
And I comfort you

Tumbleweed
Your inner’s beauty
Is a peace sign to me
