7 AND 7 IS

When I was a boy I thought about the times I'd be a man

I'd sit inside a bottle and pretend that I was in the can

But here in my lonely room I'd sit my mind in an ice cream cone

You can throw me if you wanna 'cause I'm a bone and I go, ip-ip-oop-ip-ip, yeah!

Well if I don't start crying it's because that I have got no eyes

My father's in the fireplace and my dog lies hypnotized

Through a crack of light I was unable to find my way

I'm trapped inside a night but I'm a day and I go, ip-ip- oop-ip-ip, yeah!

ROCKIN' PNEUMONIA AND THE BOOGIE WOOGIE FLU

I wanna jump but I'm afraid I'll fall

I wanna holler but the joint's too small

Young man rhythm's got a hold of me too

I got-a rockin' pneumonia and-a boogie woogie flu

Want some lovin', baby, that ain't all

I wanna kiss her but she's way's too tall

Young man rhythm's got a hold of me too

I got-a rockin' pneumonia and-a boogie woogie flu

I wanna squeeze her but I'm way too low

I would be runnin' but my feet's to slow

Young man rhythm's got a hold of me too

I got-a rockin' pneumonia and-a boogie woogie flu

I wanna squeeze her but I'm way too low

I would be runnin' but my feet's to slow

Young man rhythm's got a hold of me too

I got-a rockin' pneumonia and-a boogie woogie flu

Baby comin' now, I'm hurryin' home

I know she's leavin' 'cause I'm takin' too long

Young man rhythm's got a hold of me too

I got-a rockin' pneumonia and-a boogie woogie flu

'Cause some lovin', baby, that ain't all

I wanna kiss her but she's way's too tall

Young man rhythm's got a hold of me too

I got-a rockin' pneumonia and-a boogie woogiе flu

I wanna jump, oh yeah

I wanna holler, yeah

I wanna squeezе,

Alright

OH WELL

I can't help about the shape I'm in

I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin

But don't ask me what I think of you

I might not give the answer that you want me to

Oh well

Now, when I talked to God I knew he'd understand

He said, ''Stick by me, I'll be your guiding hand

But don't ask me what I think of you

I might not give the answer that you want me to''

Oh well

I can't help about the shape I'm in

I can't sing, I ain't pretty and my legs are thin

But don't ask me what I think of you

I might not give the answer that you want me to

Oh well

JENNY TAKE A RIDE!

Oh see, C. C. Rider

I said see, what you have done now

Oh see, C. C. Rider

I said see, what you have done now

Ahh, you made me love you

Now, now, now, now your man has gone

Oh, I'm goin' with my baby

And I won't be back 'til fall

I'm goin' with my baby

And I won't be back 'til fall

And if I find me a new girl

I won't be back at all

Ah, Jenny, Jenny, won't you come along with me

(Jenny, Jenny, woo, Jenny, Jenny)

Jenny Jenny, Jenny, won't you come along with me

(Jenny, Jenny, woo, Jenny, Jenny)

I worry 'bout you, baby, spendin' nights in misery

Spinnin', spinnin', spinnin', spinnin' like a spinnin' top

(Spinnin', spinnin', woo, spinnin', spinnin')

Spinnin', spinnin', spinnin', spinnin' like a spinnin' top

(Spinnin', spinnin', woo, spinnin', spinnin')

Come along, baby, woo, don't stop

Ah, see, C. C. Rider

Spinnin', spinnin', spinnin', spinnin' like a spinnin' top

(Spinnin', spinnin', woo, spinnin', spinnin')

Come along, baby, don't want you to stop

Woo-hoo-hoo-hoo

WATCHING THE RIVER FLOW

What’s the matter with me

I don’t have much to say

Daylight sneaking through the window

And I’m still in this all-night café

Walking to and fro beneath the moon

Out to where the trucks are rolling slow

To sit down on this bank of sand

And watch the river flow

Wish I was back in the city

Instead of this old bank of sand

With the sun beating down over the chimney tops

And the true love so close at hand

If I had wings and I could fly

I know where I would go

But right now I’ll just sit here contentedly

And watch the river flow

People disagreeing on all just about everything

Makes you stop and all wonder why

Why only yesterday I saw somеbody on the street

Who just couldn’t help but cry

Oh, this old river keeps on rolling, though

No mattеr what gets in the way and which way the wind does blow

I’ll just sit here and watch the river flow

People disagreeing everywhere you look

Makes you want to stop and read a book

Only yesterday I saw somebody on the street

That was really shook

But this old river keeps on rolling, though

No matter what gets in the way and which way the wind does blow

And as long as it does I’ll just sit here

And watch the river flow

And as long as it does I’ll just sit here

And watch the river flow

LET THE GOOD TIMES ROLL

Hey everybody

Let's have some fun

You only live but once and when you're dead, you're done

So let the good times roll

I said, let the good times roll

I don't care if you're young or old

Let the good times roll

Don't sit there mumblin'

Talkin' trash

If you wanna have a ball

Get out and spend some cash

And let the good times roll

I'm talkin' 'bout the good times

Make no difference if you're young or old

Good times roll

Why don't you tell еverybody

Rockets back in town

I got a dollar evеn ringin' the clock

Don't let nobody play me cheap

I got fifty cents more that I'm here to gonna keep

Let the good times roll

I let the good times roll

Make no difference if you're young or old

Let the good times roll

No matter whether rainy weather

You wanna have fun you gotta get yourself together

Ohhh, let the good times roll

DIXIE CHICKEN

I've seen the bright lights of Memphis and the Commodore Hotel

And underneath a street lamp, I met a southern belle

Well, she took me to the river where she cast her spell

And in that southern moonlight she sang this song so well

If you'll be my Dixie chicken I'll be your Tennessee lamb

And we can walk together down in Dixieland

Down in Dixieland

Well, we made all the hotspots, my money flowed likе wine

Then the lowdown southеrn whiskey, began to fog my mind

I don't remember church bells or the money I put down

On the white picket fence and boardwalk

On the house at the end of town

Oh, but boy do I remember the strain of her refrain

And nights we spent together

And the way she called my name

If you'll be my Dixie chicken I'll be your Tennessee lamb

And we can walk together down in Dixieland

Down in Dixieland

Many years since she ran away

Guess that banjo player sure could play

She always liked to sing along

She's handy with a song

But then one night in the lobby of the Commodore Hotel

I chanced to meet a bartender who said he knew her well

As he handed me a drink he began to hum a song

And all the boys there at the bar began to sing along

If you'll be my Dixie chicken I'll be your Tennessee lamb

And we can walk together down in Dixieland

Down in Dixieland

SHAPES OF THINGS

Shapes of things before my eyes

Just teach me to despise

Will time make men more wise?

Here within my lonely frame

My eyes just hurt my brain

But will it seem the same?

Come tomorrow, will I be older?

Come tomorrow, may be a soldier

Come tomorrow, may I be bolder than today?

Now the trees are almost green

But will they still be seen?

When time and tide have been

Fall into your passing hands

Please don't destroy thеse lands

Don't make them dеsert sands

Come tomorrow, will I be older?

Come tomorrow, may be a soldier

Come tomorrow, may I be bolder than today?

Come tomorrow, will I be older?

Come tomorrow, may be a soldier

THE BATTLE OF NEW ORLEANS

Well, 1814 we took a little trip

Along with Colonel Jackson down the mighty Mississip'

We took a little bacon and we took a little beans

We met the bloody British in a town near New Orleans

We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'

There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago

We fired once more and they begin to runnin'

Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

We looked down a river and we see'd the British come

And there must havе been a hundred of 'em beatin' on thе drums

They stepped so high and they made their bugles ring

We stood beside our cotton bales and didn't say a thing

We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'

There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago

We fired once more and they begin to runnin'

Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

Old Hickory said we could take 'em by surprise

If we didn't fire our muskets 'till we looked 'em in the eye

We held our fire 'till we see their faces well

Then we opened up our squirrel guns and really gave 'em - well we

Fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'

There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago

We fired once more and they begin to runnin'

Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

They ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles

And they ran through the bushes where the rabbit couldn't go

They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em

On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

We fired our cannon 'til the barrel melted down

So we grabbed an alligator and we fired another round

We filled his head with cannon balls, and powdered his behind

And when we touched the powder off the gator lost his mind

They ran through the briars and they ran through the brambles

And they ran through the bushes where the rabbit couldn't go

They ran so fast that the hounds couldn't catch 'em

On down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

We fired our guns and the British kept a-comin'

There wasn't nigh as many as there was a while ago

We fired once more and they begin to runnin'

Down the Mississippi to the Gulf of Mexico

To the Gulf of Mexico

To the Gulf of Mexico

LUCIFER

Well, cruisin' on the grey snakes till my dyin' day

Checkin' all the hen houses out along the way

Wastin' time, drinkin' wine

Life is short and I ain't lyin'

Livin' all I can through every day

You can call me Lucifer

If you think you should

Only now I know I'm good

Every night I'm barrelhousin' till the moon is low

Shoutin' blues and payin' dues and throwin' way my dough

Ramblin', gamblin', lovin', shovin', probably won't end up with nothin'

But at least I'll reap the seeds I sow

You can call me Lucifer

If you think you should

Only now I know I'm good

Funky water, farmers daughter gonna make the law

Lucy Blue, Chicago Green, I'll love 'em till they thaw

Courtin' all the lovely foxes, brunette, redhеads, goldilocks

Takin' time to grind my crosscut saw

You can call me Lucifer

If you think you should

Now I know I'm good

WHITE ROOM

In a white room with black curtains near the station

Black roof country, no gold pavements, tired starlings

Silver horses ran down moonbeams in your dark eyes

Dawn light smiles on you leaving, my contentment

I'll wait in this place where the sun never shines

Wait in this place where the shadows run from themselves

You said no strings could secure you at the station

Platform ticket, restless diesels, goodbye windows

I walked into such a sad time at the station

As I walked out, felt my own need just beginning

I'll wait in the queue when the trains come back

Lie with you where the shadows run from themselves

At the party she was kindness in the hard crowd

Consolation for the old wound now forgotten

Yellow tigers crouched in jungles in her dark eyes

She's just dressing, goodbye windows, tired starlings

I'll sleep in this place with the lonely crowd

Lie in the dark where the shadows run from themselves

CAUGHT IN THE ACT

[Going Down]

Down, down, down, down, down

Down, down, down, down, down

Down, down, down, down, down

[Green Onions]

[Dazed and Confused]

[Gimme Some Lovin']

Well my temperature is rising and my feet is on the floor

Crazy people knocking 'cause they're wanna some more

Let me in, baby, I don't know what you got

But you better take it easy, 'cause this place is so hot

So glad we made it

So glad we made it

I want you too

Gimme some-a lovin', (Gimme some lovin')

Gimme some-a lovin', (Gimme some lovin')

Gimme some-a lovin', every day

Well, I feel so good, everything is getting higher

You better take some time off 'cause the place is on fire

Better stop baby 'cause I have so much to do

We made it, baby, and it happened to you

So glad we made it

So glad we made it

I want you too

Gimme some-a lovin', every day

Gimme some a-lovin' every day

Gimme some a-lovin' every night

SONG OF TE SEASONS

Looking through a wavy glass window

In this old place by the lake

And the colors of the falling leaves

I see nature makes no mistake

In the water as it ripples in the wind

There's a message I see of what's to come

In the honkers flying low above the waves

What's the reason this song is sung?

Song of the seasons coming through me now

Like the wind in your hair

We're so together in the way that we feel

That we could wind up anywhere

Looking through this clear vinyl window

At the city and its lights

As pеople are walking evеrywhere

It's humanity in my sights

From over there I see you waving at me

I feel the lightness in your stare

I see the flicker of your loving eyes

And the stories are always shared

Song of the seasons coming through me now

Like the wind in your hair

We're so together in the way that we feel

That we could end up anywhere

I see the palace where the queen still reigns

Behind her walls and lonesome gates

The king is gone down and she remains

I feel her banner's rippling in the rain

Here in this water as it gathers now upon the road

The horses gait in the rhythm I feel somehow

And the melody I play

Song of the seasons coming through me now

Like the wind in your hair

We're so together in the way that we feel

That we could end up anywhere

HEADING WEST

When I was a little boy

Pulled my wagon all through the town

Went fishin' at the mill

Got home before the streetlights came on

Out behind my house

I used to go back to the railroad track

Put my ear down on the rail

Listen for the train to come back

I was almost in my teens

Mom and Daddy went their separate ways

My brother stayed when we left that day

Heading west to find the good old days

Good old days, good old days

Headin' West to find the good old days

Riding with mommy in her little car

Sometimes it feels alright

Livin' in a western town

Mommy got me my first guitar

Good old days, good old days

Hеadin' West to find the good old days

Mommy got me my first guitar

CHANGE AIN'T NEVER GONNA

Ten men workin' had to get a new job

To try to save the planet 

From a fuel burnin' mob

Who turned on everyone 

For being so controlling

And takin' away all the freedom

They had been knowing

Yeah, the government said

They had to get new cars

Leave those fuel burners 

And they went to mars

They turned on everyone

For being so controlling 

And takin' away the freedom 

That they had always been knowing

Change ain't never gonna come

They sang that together an they rose as one

To take on the great conspiracy against em'

Tryin' to stop them from livin 

As they'd always been livin

Ten men workin' had to get a new job

To save a throw away tune from an ol' corn cob

Left behind by a farmer they had killed for growing

That bad yellow fuel with the economy slowing

CANERICAN

I am American, American is what I am

I cast my vote

And now I got my man

Out on the range I see the changes

Coming to this country

I am American, American is what I am

(American) 

I am American, American is what I am

I was born in Canada

Came south to join a band

Got caught up in the big time

Travelin' through the land

Up on the stage I see the changes

Coming to this country

I am Canerican, Canerican is what I am

I am all colors, all colors is what I am

I stand beside my brother

For Freedom in this land

Out on the range I see the changes

Coming to this country

I am all colors, all colors is what I am

(American)

I am American, American is what I am

SHAPE OF YOU

This ain't just some paint by numbers

I gotta be who I feel

When I think of the shape of you

You changed my life for the better

Wore my love like your favorite sweater

That brings me back to the shape of you

Shape of you, shape of you, shape of you

No reason to pretend different

It's just that I'm still dreaming

And my dreams all have the shape of you

Now I'm older now but I'm still dreamin'

The sky is why I believe in

Stars scattered in the shape of you

Yeah you're in my milky way

That's really all that I can say

When I think of the shape of you

Shape of you, shape of you, shape of you

Shape of you, shape of you, shape of you

THEY MIGHT BE LOST

I'm waitin' for the boys to bring the truck in

They should a been here by now

It's way past four twenty and I'm sittin' waitin'

For the boys to come

Get the goods

It's loaded on the porch all ready to go

She wants to know where they are

Lookin' for the headlights comin' thru the trees

I'm standin' here waitin' on the porch

They're comin' down the highway

Just made the turn

They called to let me know

She's askin' me again 

And the smoke that I burn

Keeps takin' me to the old days 

Well, the jury is out

On the old days you know

The judgement is soon comin' down

I can't quite remember what it was that I knew

Yeah, I'm waitin' on the headlights

Comin' thru the snow

The weather is changing, you know

They should have been here about an hour ago

She says that's what she thought

But I can't see em'

And that's all I know

I wonder if they might be lost

HUMAN RACE

Today no one cares

Tomorrow no one shares

Because they all will be gone but the children

(Children of the fires and floods)

Children of the fires and floods

Who's gonna save the human race?

Where are all the children gonna run and hide

(Children of the fires and floods)

From the fires and floods

Today's people have left behind?

(Today's people)

Who's gonna tell

The children of destiny

That we didn't try to save the world for them

(Children of the fires and floods)

The human race is on

We're all lined up at the starting gun

The crowd is rising to its feet

Who's gonna save the human race?

Where are all the children gonna run and hide

(Children of the fires and floods)

From the fires and floods

Today's people have left behind?

(Today's people)

Child like a flower

That rose and fell

Back to the earth as it turned to hell

(Today's people)

From the flames and the waves

Today's people have left behind

(Today's people) 

(Today's people)

(Today's people) 

(Today's people)

TUMBLIN' THRU THE YEARS

Well, I was walkin' down the road

One step at a time headin' home

I was thinkin' bout the love

We share, you and me

It's a complicated thing, this life

If I wasn't here with you 

Tumblin' thru the years

Without our love

Many days and many nights, fly by

As we go on our way

And we have our old friends

And new by our side

It's a complicated thing, in our hearts

There's a place that they can find

Tumblin' thru the years 

With our love

On the road ahead my friend

Our love is the guide we need

It takes us all the way

Back home to the light

It's a complicated thing, this life

If I wasn't here with you 

Tumblin' thru the years

Without our love

Tumblin' thru the years

Without our love

Tumblin' thru the years

Without our love

Tumblin' thru the years

Without our love

WELCOME BACK

Gonna sing an old song to you right now

One that you've heard before

Might be a window to your soul I can open slowly

I’ve been singing this way for so long

Riding through the storm

Might remind me of who we are

And why we walk so lowly

For the world has closed us in

We might still allow for changes to be made

In a way of times right now and as we grow together

Before your computer turns on you

And walking through the garden

You remember something you've been through

And mingle with the stars in the sky

Stars in the sky

They only know that we see them there

Stars in thе sky

They watch us grow and see how we are

(Stars in thе sky)

Clouds on the sun that save your skin

But that's just what you're thinking

Shade to shade and it sucks you in

No matter what you're thinking

Gonna sing an old song to you right now

It's one that you've heard before

It might be a window to your soul I can open slowly

So, welcome back, welcome back

It's not the same

A shade of you just blinking

Welcome back, welcome back

It's not the same

Welcome back, welcome back

Welcome back, welcome back

It's not the same

A shade of you just blinking

DON'T FORGET LOVE

(Don't forget love) (Don't forget love) (Don't forget love)

(Don't forget love) (Don't forget love) (Don't forget love)

When you're angry and you're lashin' out

Don't forget love

You don't know what you're talking about

Don't forget love

When the wind blows through the crime scene

And the tv-man starts talkin' fast

Don't forget love

(Don't forget love) (Don't forget love) (Don't forget love)

(Don't forget love) (Don't forget love) (Don't forget love)

When you got no one you can confide in

Don't forget love

In every story there's a secret hidin'

Don't forget love

When you're takin' and you could be givin'

When you're dyin' and you could be livin'

Don't forget love

(Don't forget love) (Don't forget love) (Don't forget love)

(Don't forget love) (Don't forget love) (Don't forget love)

When you're wakin up with a frown

And the world is bringin' you down

(Don't forget love) (Don't forget love) (Don't forget love)

Love will bring you back around

Put your feet right on the ground

(Don't forget love) (Don't forget love) (Don't forget love)

When the storm comes and the lights go out

Don't forget love

When the rains give way to sunshine

Don't forget love

There's a secret in every story

In the ways that we remember love

(Don't forget love) (Don't forget love) (Don't forget love)

(Don't forget love) (Don't forget love) (Don't forget love)

(Don't forget love) (Don't forget love) (Don't forget love)

(Don't forget love) (Don't forget love) (Don't forget love)

(Don't forget love) (Don't forget love) (Don't forget love)

(Don't forget love) (Don't forget love) (Don't forget love)

BLUES BEFORE SUNRISE

I have the blues before sunrise, tears standing in my eyes

I have the blues before sunrise, tears standing in my eyes

It was a miserable feeling baby

Feeling I do despise

Had to leave, leave you baby

Know you done me wrong

Had to leave you baby

Because you know you done me wrong

I gotta pack up my few things

And run after what I've done

I have to leave you baby, leave you all alone

Leave you baby, leave you all alone

Well, I gotta pack up leave you darlin'

You know you do me wrong

Well now goodbye, goodbye baby

See you some rainy day

Oh now, goodbye baby, I'll see you on some rainy day

Now you can go 'head now

Can't let you to have your way

HOLE IN MY SOUL

Walking round in a haze,

People, they know the way I feel

Been forty-seven days

Since I lost a love so real

I just can't shake this feeling,

It all seems so surreal

Ashes and embers

From the fire of yesterday

Can't brighten up the darkness,

Can't help me find my way

I know you can't hear me,

But I cry out to you anyway

Since you been gone, spinning out of control

You cut me so deep, I might never be whole

We had firm foundation, it took so long to build

Now there's a hole in my soul that can never be filled

I remember all those nights,

The way you softly called my name

But I took our love for granted,

I only got myself to blame

Now you're gone forever

And I'm drowning in the shame

Since you been gone, I'm spinning out of control

Cut me so deep, I might never be whole

We had firm foundation, it took so long to build

Now there's a hole in my soul that can never be filled

WAKE UP DEAD

I got something to say to you, I don't care if you get mad

Never thought what's come between us could ever get this bad

You're living like a dying man, you must be crazy, must be out your head

You better wake up while you're still living, or one of these mornings, gonna wake up dead

Yeah, I watched you stumble through every street in town

I watched your women and your best friends put you down

Living like a dying man, must be crazy, must be out your head

You better wake up while you're still living, or one of these mornings, gonna wake up dead

You see, I tried to change your ways, but there's scars that just won't heal

You done fell off that wagon and underneath the wheel

Living like a dying man, must be crazy, must be out your head

Better wake up while you're still living, or one of these mornings, gonna wake up dead

You know the music that fell out of you has slowed down to a crawl

You're chasing dreams and dragons and pills with alcohol

You're living like a dying man, must be crazy, must be out your head

You better wake up while you're still living, or one of these mornings, gonna wake up dead

Oh, yeah

Oh, yeah

You must be crazy

So hear me when I tell you, know I've said it all before

And this time is the last time, ain't gonna say it no more

You're living like a dying man, must be crazy, must be out your head

Better wake up while you're still living, or one of these mornings, gonna wake up dead, yeah

Oh, you better wake up while you're still living, or one of these mornings

One of these mornings, you'll be just another fool that woke up dead

LOVE IS A MEAN OLD WORLD

Tired of smiling when I wanna frown

Tired of faking when I'm feeling down

Tired of thieving all over the place

Tired of people getting in my face, getting in my face

Too much backstabbing everywhere I go

Can't be round this place no more

You might be my friend today

Tomorrow, take my woman away, my woman away

Oh, baby, love is a mean old world

And you can save me from these blues

Well, I love my whiskey till the day I die

I love my woman, but she rubbed me dry

I might be your friend today

Tomorrow, take your woman away, your woman away

Oh, baby, love is a mean old world

And you can save me from these blues

I said, I'm tired of smiling when I wanna frown

Tired of faking when I'm feeling down

Tired of thieving all over the place

Tired of people getting in my face, getting in my face

Getting in my face

Getting in my face

SNATCH IT BACK AND HOLD IT - HOLD IT BACK - SNATCH IT BACK AND HOLD IT

Snatch it back and hold it

Baby one more time

I ain't doing too bad, baby

I got you on my mind

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

You having a real good time

Somebody help me

I can't help myself

Somebody help me

I can't help myself

I ain't got no brand new bag

Somebody help me

I can't help myself

Somebody help me

Snatch it back and hold it

Baby one more time

I ain't doing too bad, baby

I got you on my mind

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey!

You having a real good time

Somebody help me

I can't help myself

Somebody help me

I can't help myself

Hey, hey, hey, hey

I got you on my mind

AIN'T NO LOVE IN THE HEART OF THE CITY

Ain't no love in the heart of the city

Ain't no love in the heart of town

Ain't no love, sure is a pity

But ain't no love since you're not around

When you were mine

I was feeling so good

Oh, your smile lit up

The whole neighborhood

But now that you're gone

Oh, the sun don't shine

From the city hall

To the county line and that's why there

Ain't no love in the heart of the city

Ain't no love in the heart of town

Ain't no love, sure is a pity

But ain't no love since you're not around

Every place that I go

Oh, it feels so strange

Without you here

Everything has changed

Nighttime comes

And there's a blanket of gloom

Another teardrop falls

In my lonely room and that's why there

Ain't no love in the heart of the city

Ain't no love in the heart of town

Ain't no love, sure is a pity

But ain't no love since you're not around

But now that you're gone

Oh, the sun don't shine

From the city hall

To the county line and that's why there

Ain't no love in the heart of the city

Ain't no love in the heart of town

Ain't no love, oh, sure is a pity

(BROTHER BILL) LAST CLEAN SHIRT

Some people said it was cocaine, some people said it was gin

But I know the name of the motherfucker that did my brother in

They put the last clean shirt on my brother bill

They put the last clean shirt on my brother bill

They found him in the backseat of an old abandoned Ford

When I touched the hand on my brother Bill, he was stiff as a running board

They put the last clean shirt on my brother bill

They put the last clean shirt on my brother bill

Preacher said he's gone, he's gone to a better world

He's through with his last fight, man, he's done loving his last girl

They put the last clean shirt on my brother bill

They put the last clean shirt on my brother bill

MAKE IT RAIN

She took all my money and my best friend

You know the story, here it comes again

I have no pride, I have no shame

You gotta make it rain

Make it rain

Since you're gone, deep inside it hurts

I'm just another sad guest on this dark Earth

I want to believe in the mercy of the world again

Make it rain

Make it rain

Night's too quiet, stretched out alone

I need the whip of thunder and the wind's dark moan

I'm not Able, I'm just Cain

Open up the heavens

Make it rain

I'm close to heaven, crushed at the gate

They sharpen their knives on my mistakes

What she done, you can't give it a name

You gotta make it rain

Make it rain

Without her love, without her kiss

Hell can't burning much more than this

I'm burning with all this pain

Put out the fire

Make it rain

I'm born to trouble, born to fate

Inside a promise I can't escape

It's the same old world, nothing looks the same

Gotta make it rain

Make it rain

You've got to make it rain

Oh, you've got to make it rain

Make it rain

You've got to make it rain

Oh, make it rain

HEAVY LOAD

Woke up singing a dead man's song

Smell of smoke rising in the air

Ain't no need to worry 'bout things gone wrong

Always something going wrong somewhere

Woman left me high and dry

Like the dust that's on my face

That's okay I'm moving on

Moving on ain't no disgrace

I'm gonna leave when the sun goes down

Say goodbye to this lonesome town

One more thing I can leave behind

Don't look for me, you ain't gonna find me

Too many bridges, too many roads

Too much sky and too much ground

Life can be such a heavy load

There just ain't no relief to be found

Guess somewhere I lost my way

Got caught up in earthly things

Guess I forgot what brought me here

Riding on an angels' wings

Too much trouble, on my brain

Too many songs about the same old thing

You know you just can't sing your blues away

There's dues you know you're gonna have to pay

Too many bridges, too many roads

Too much sky and too much ground

Life can be such a heavy load

There just ain't no relief to be found

Keep on running, I don't know why

Guess I'll be running till the day I die

Somewhere farther down that line

Maybe I'll see you come judgment time

Walk a mile in my shoes

Please don't judge me till you do

I'll do my best not to judge you

Just let me play these heavy load blues

Woke up singing a dead man's song

Smell of smoke rising in the air

Don't know tomorrow where I'll be

And when I'm gone you can bury me

Down by the riverside

Down by the riverside

Down by the riverside

Down by the riverside

Down by the riverside

FEEL LIKE BREAKING UP SOMEBODY'S HOME

I'm home alone on a rainy night like this

Starving for your love, hungry for just one kiss

Every raindrop I hear against my windowpane

Sounds so sweet and clear, swear it's speaking your name

Got nowhere to turn, tired of being alone

Feel like breaking up somebody's home

I know it's useless hanging on when you belong to someone else

Can't fight the feeling, well, after all, I didn't make myself

I know it's useless hanging on when you belong to someone else

Can't fight the feeling, well, after all, I didn't make myself

Last night I cried so hard I believe I caught a chill

Can't control the vibrations, my heart just won't stand stand still

Got nowhere to turn, tired of being alone

I feel like breaking up somebody's home

Got nowhere to turn, tired of being alone

I feel like breaking up somebody's home

Nowhere to turn, tired of being alone

I feel like breaking up somebody's home

IF HEARTACHES WERE NICKELS

I wish you could see me

All broken down this way

But even if you saw me, baby,

I know I still couldn't make you stay

I couldn't make you stay

You know about the high cost of loving,

There's something you're gonna have to pay

You're gonna have to pay

Woman like you needs fine things,

Woman, knew it right from the start

Woman, I don't have much to offer, baby,

Just this so broken heart

Just this broken heart

But if heartaches were nickels,

I wouldn't be here crying in the dark

If wine and pills were hundred dollar bills, I might keep you satisfied

And if broken dreams were limousines, oh, you know I might take you for a ride

But all I can do is think of you and wish you were by my side

Oh, if heartaches were nickels, then I'd be the richest fool alive

Oh, wine and pills were hundred dollar bills, I might keep you satisfied

And if broken dreams were limousines, oh, you know I might take you for a ride

But all I can do is think of you and wish you were by my side

Oh, if heartaches were nickels, then I'd be the richest fool alive

Yes, I would

I'd be the richest fool alive

Oh, yeah

Richest fool alive

Oh, baby

Richest fool alive

I ASKED FOR WATER (SHE GAVE ME GASOLINE)

Ooooh, I asked for water, ooooh, she brought me gasoline

Ooooh, I asked for water, ooooh, she brought me gasoline

That's the troubling woman that I ever seen

Ooooh, the church bell tollin', oh ho, the hearse come driving slow

Ooooh, the church bell tollin', oh ho, the hearse come driving slow

I hope my baby, don't leave me no more

Tell me when are you coming back home?

Ooooh, tell me baby,

Ooooh, when are you coming back home?

Ooooh, when are you coming back home?

…She brought me gasoline

That's the troubling woman that I ever seen

BLACK HORIZON

Red sun sinking down in the valley

Even sinking down myself

I'm tired, I can feel me turning

Into someone else, into someone else

New day dawning on the black horizon

New life waiting on the other side

No more running and hiding

Getting ready to end this long, hard ride

Last night, felt the whole world crumbling

Even crumbling in myself

Dark dreams woke me up this morning

Worst I ever felt, worst I ever felt

New day dawning on the black horizon

New life waiting on the other side

No more running and hiding

Getting ready to end this long, hard ride

World is turning to a hall of mirrors

Just you and me, what I don't wanna see

Everywhere I look, I see the stranger

Am I chasing him or is he chasing me?

New day dawning on the black horizon

New life waiting on the other side

No more running and hiding

Getting ready to end this long, hard ride

Looking over the mountain

East in the valley

New day dawning

New day dawning

I'm ready

Ready for the brand new day

(Instrumental)

NOTCHES

I’ve been all the way around the world

There and back a time or two

I’ve been all the way around the world

There and back a time or two

That road leads me home

Bring me back to the blues

I got miles under my wheels

Notches in my walking cane

Miles under my wheels

Notches in my walking cane

Still winking at hard times

Smiling at the pouring rain

I’ve seen a thousand city lights

From Austin to Saskatoon

Seen a thousand city lights

From Austin to Saskatoon

I’ve seen the shouting from the aisles

Howling at the shining moon

I got miles under my wheels

Notches in my walking cane

I got miles under my wheels

Notches in my walking cane

I’m thе kinda man that takes a lump or two

Tilt your world back, now you have a clue

Try to gеt one over, I got news for you

When you poke the bear you’re bound to lose

I got miles under my wheels

Notches in my walking cane

Got some miles under my wheels

Notches in my walking cane

I’m still winking at hard times

Smiling at the pouring rain

Oh, I may be an angel

I’ll sure be the devil for you

May be no angel

I’ll sure be the devil for you

Yeah, that road might not lead me home

Yeah, there’s not a damn thing you can do

I got miles under my wheels

Notches in my walking cane

I got miles under my wheels

Notches in my walking cane

I’m the kinda man that takes a lump or two

Tilt your world back, now you have a clue

Try to get one over, I got news for you

When you poke the bear, you’re bound to lose

I got miles under my wheels

Notches in my walking cane

Miles under my wheels

Notches in my walking cane

I’m still winking at hard times

Smiling at the pouring rain

THE HEART THAT NEVER WAITS

Well I rolled the dice, baby

Now I’m left out all alone

I was lost in a shuffle, babe

Lost and halfway gone

Oh, I know you and that vengeful woman inside

Worn out my welcome, I knew in the stuff inside

Time is the healer that rescued me

The blues led to the bottle

That landed me on the street

When it’s rainin’ down with worry

And you know it’s too late

It’s the train that never comes

And the heart that never waits

I’ll be moving on

(moving on, I’ll be moving on)

I’ll be moving on

(moving on, I’ll be moving on)

I’ll be moving on

(moving on, I’ll be moving on)

I’ll be moving on

(moving on, I’ll be moving on)

Used to be perfect, babe

I saw love in your eyes

Put my wild things behind me

I thought I had her right

The gods must have heard

I guess I spoke too soon

They had all the plans

Just not for me and you

Time is the healer that rescued me

The blues led to the bottle

That landed me on the street

When it’s rainin’ down with worry

And you know it’s too late

It’s the train that never comes

And the heart that never waits

I’ll be moving on

(moving on, I’ll be moving on)

I’ll be moving on

(moving on, I’ll be moving on)

I’ll be moving on

(moving on, I’ll be moving on)

I’ll be moving on

(moving on, I’ll be moving on)

Look over there, thinking you are all that

Wrapped around my finger, I’ll not be swollowing that

I think of you woman and that sweet masquerade

What do you want from me? all you do is throw me shade

Time is the healer that rescued me

The blues led to the bottle

That landed me on the street

When it’s rainin’ down with worry

And you know it’s too late

It’s the train that never comes

And the heart that never waits

Time is the healer that rescued me

The blues led to the bottle

That landed me on the street

When it’s rainin’ down with worry

And you know it’s too late

It’s the train that never comes

And the heart that never waits

I’ll be moving on

(moving on, I’ll be moving on)

I’ll be moving on

(moving on, I’ll be moving on)

I’ll be moving on

(moving on, I’ll be moving on)

I’ll be moving on

(moving on, I’ll be moving on)

TIME CLOCKS

I was never a great puncher of time clocks

I was never the one who had lots

I was only good at one thing, ringing bells, kissing rings

A heart can’t heal once padlocked

I was never meant the one who was tedious

I was always wanted to be the one who leads us

On things that came to mind, never on someone else’s dime

As the hunter explains to the fox

And the rain soaking through my coat

About to capsize my boat

I push it a long way from thе docks

I was never a good puncher of timе clocks

As the rain has chilled me to the bone

I’m flat-out tired and alone

I put it away, now it’s locked

I was never a good puncher of time clocks

I was never a teller of stories

Didn’t need to thrive on the glory

It’s about the life of a man, victim time and time again

Hard as hell to get up in the morning

And the rain soaking through my coat

About to capsize my boat

I push it a long way from the docks

I was never a good puncher of time clocks

As the rain has chilled me to the bone

I’m flat-out tired and alone

I put it away, now it’s locked

I was never a good puncher of time clocks

Regrets to stoke the fires

Clay pigeon and the ignorant liars

The view from my window as the pouring rain seeps

Too scared to look down in the deep

Make no illusions about your forgone conclusions

Time will set you back, will all your wounds

If the darkness sets in, it creeps up on you

Like a man typecast the fool

And the rain soaking through my coat

About to capsize my boat

I push it a long way from the docks

I was never a good puncher of time clocks

As the rain has chilled me to the bone

I’m flat-out tired and alone

I put it away, now it’s locked

I was never a good puncher of time clocks

And the rain soaking through my coat…

MIND'S EYE

Help

I’m going down

I need someone to slow the spiral down

Help

These are trying times

And I shouldn’t be calling on someone else’s dime

Say,

Say what you really mean

Don’t mince words or hide intentions in between

Listen

Better listen before you talk

I can’t go back through there

After the door is locked

Reach up, dig deeper

You can’t save the ones

Who can’t save themselves

Our whole damn world comеs crashing down around us

I know you’ve found someone еlse

So don’t be so furious

Remember there’s two sides

I’d be curious

If you’d keep a mind’s eye

Wanted

A way to break through

When you’re desperate and lonely

There’s nothing you can do

I’m haunted

By memories you can’t see

A place that’s easy to get to

But hard as hell as to leave

Reach up, dig deeper

You can’t save the ones

Who can’t save themselves

Our whole damn world comes crashing down around us

I know you’ve found someone else

So don’t be so furious

Remember there’s two sides

I’d be curious

So don’t be so furious

Remember there’s two sides

I’d be curious

If you’d keep a mind’s eye

Please help

I’m going down

I need someone to slow the spiral down

CURTAIN CALL

Burnt skies and the trees are dead and grey

After a map of a war we never made

My grandfather a railroad man

Not afraid of right and wrong or how to take a stand

Into the fire

Against the wind

Up and down and back again

Under the bridge

Over the coals

This is the march of a broken soul

Step by step

One by one

You’ll be counted on

Lights go up

So don’t be late

For the curtain call

‘Cause I’ve never been the type to seize the moment it’s not too late

Whilе breaking down the old bricks in the wall

Dusty town South of Mandalay

Whеre she still lives to this day

Tears are hot and the trial’s gone cold

Those demons follow me wherever I go

Into the fire

Against the wind

Up and down and back again

Under the bridge

Over the coals

This is the march of a broken soul

Step by step

One by one

You’ll be counted on

Lights go up

So don’t be late

For the curtain call

‘Cause I’ve never been the type to seize the moment it’s not too late

While breaking down the old bricks in the wall

Burnt skies and the trees are dead and grey

After a map of a war we never made

My grandfather a railroad man

Not afraid of right and wrong or how to take a stand

Into the fire

Against the wind

Up and down and back again

Under the bridge

Over the coals

This is the march of a broken soul

Step by step

One by one

You’ll be counted on

Lights go up

So don’t be late

For the curtain call

‘Cause I’ve never been the type to seize the moment t’s not too late

While breaking down the old bricks in the wall

THE LOYAL KIND

These maidens in the shadows

Bring darkness to the light

I know I’ve fallen

I know I’m just not right

I’ve dug myself a hole

With the shovel that I brought

Did you think I was blind

Or you wouldn’t get caught?

With the horses in the stable

And the dinner’s on the table

The wrongs don’t make rights

As it says in the fables

I reached out to you

As I reached out to God

You were drunk on the mountain

Or you’re blinded by the fog

Dark trails of brick and stone

Dark trails in the way you feel alone

I won’t be around next time

I’ve played around with those tumbling dice

Are you gonna spin around and betray me twice?

Oh, I knew it all along and I hate when I’m right

I’m asking, are you the loyal kind?

Are you the loyal kind?

Are you the loyal kind?

So I took one for the team

We’ll call itself esteem

You took the irons out the sky

And put the irons on me

All the city lights and silhouettes

Did you meet your new boss?

I hope he has your back

When your new money’s lost

Dark trails of brick and stone

Dark trails in the way you feel alone

I won’t be around next time

I’ve played around with those tumbling dice

Are you gonna spin around and betray me twice?

Oh, I knew it all along and I hate when I’m right

I’m asking, are you the loyal kind?

Are you the loyal kind?

Are you the loyal kind?

Dark trails of brick and stone

Dark trails in the way you feel alone

I won’t be around next time

I’ve played around with those tumbling dice

Are you gonna spin around and betray me twice

Oh, I knew it all along and I hate when I’m right

I’m asking, are you the loyal kind?

Are you the loyal kind?

Are you the loyal kind?

Are you the loyal kind?

Are you the loyal kind?

HANGING ON A LOSER

You never smile at me

Complainin’ all the time

You never wanna leave me

You never cross that line

‘Cause I’m so tired of hearin’ about it (Shut up, shut up)

How we’re never meant to be (Shut up, shut up)

Oh, but if everything is so bad

Why you hanging on a loser like me?

How we’re never meant to be (Shut up, shut up)

Why you hanging on a loser like me?

Gonna have to admit it

KNOWN UNKNOWNS

Baby, we said goodbye today

We tried our best

But it was a little too late

It’s heavy, knowin’ that the fires are gone

But where were they

When it all went wrong?

I use time to heal my sufferin’

My mind brings me back from nothin’

The comeback is a long, dark road

My habits are just another heartbreak

In a love that gives before it takes

All we know is the known unknown

And it’s hard to let it go (Hard to let it go)

It’s hard to let it go (Hard to let it go)

Waiting for the pain to die

Does it ever get easy?

Does it ever run and hide?

Save me, go on, but save yourself first

You lost me when you showed me

I’d be better for bein’ worse

I use time to heal my sufferin’

My mind brings me back from nothin’

The comeback is a long dark road

My habits are just another heartbreak

In a love that gives before it takes

THE ICE BRIDGE

Those that have lived before
They breathe and walk through us
A course relayed
Round our sacred fires
That light up these hillsides
At dawn we shall begin
 
With fear of extinction
We’re pushed to the edge of the ice
Instinctive direction
X2a drive to survive
 
All eyes to the east
All eyes to the east
In a vision
Snowflower Elder crossed
He has seen
Snowflower Elder
He has walked forest green
All eyes to the east
 
Stand tribe to tribe
For we are the lords of the future
True pillars of life
And if we’re to arrive
Through such desperate times
We must stand unified
 
Traces of ancestral faces
Project on a blizzard torn sky
In a game of do or die
Fly clear with the falcon
Perceive through the eagle’s eye
This is exponential ancient overdrive
 
No turning back
We must cross the Ice Bridge
Onward to sunrise
In a race against time
 
All eyes to the east
In a vision
Snowflower Elder crossed
 
All eyes to the east
In a vision
Snowflower Elder walked
Lands of green
 
Eyes to the east
Snowflower Elder crossed
 
Eyes to the east
In a vision
Snowflower Elder walked

DARE TO KNOW

I’ve got an idea, been on my mind

I’ll share it with you and see what we find

As a matter of fact, things keep on changing

They’re stirring up patterns that keep on rearranging, rearranging

 

Beauty performs shaped by the wind

Sunsets align with discipline

Feeling a sense of urgency

We live with so much uncertainty

 

We rest on a breath, hang by a limb

Balancing hope to only win

 

Rituals to celebrate, words to chant await

Things start to happen, they form in a pattern

Seeing their rays of hope, to really help them cope

They mustn’t be ignored, search the lost chord

MINUS THE MAN

Evolution's tunnel from which there’s no end

Mirror upon mirror, twist, turn and bend

Down the endless hallway of so many doors

Countless lives to choose and explore

 

Is the key to our survival post-human technology

Do we trust full immersion virtual reality

Vinge's 2030

The 6th Paradigm

When circuitry augments the mind

It's a double-edged sword

The Grand Singularity and A.l. autonomy

Building the superman

Building the superman

 

Minus the man

Minus the man

At any cost perpetuate the post-human lifespan

 

Down the endless hallway of so many mirrors

Rеflecting no years, redirеcting the tears

Through every door a new road upon which to dream

To master each pathway

All, eventually

 

Oh, will this bring us closer to destiny

Or are we withdrawing further into fantasy

 

Is the key to our survival post-human technology

Do we trust full immersion virtual reality

Vinge’s 2030

The 6th Paradigm

When circuitry augments the mind

It's a double-edged sword

The Grand Singularity and A.I. autonomy

Building the superman

Building the superman

 

Minus the man

Minus the man

Will the survival equation command that it minus the man

 

Building the superman

Minus the man

LEAVE WELL ALONE

Provocation of the mystics, revel in the shelter bare

Taste the virtue of nothingness, feel the motions from elsewhere

Gazing from the highest cliffs, don't venture down to the abyss, the abyss

The way ahead is still no distance, just a part of our existence

Heal the pains of this disorder, devise your escape across the border

Loosen up and ease the flow, trust survivors incognito

I heard thе king has lost his golden wing

Leave wеll alone

I heard the queen just couldn't intervene

Leave well alone

I saw the words written in stone

Leave well alone

Not for nothing, but just leave well alone

Leave well alone

Stories? Stories are told to the prisoners who wait there and still remain

Ideas? Ideas of changing the history written just to entertain

Reasons? Reasons give us quite a rush for a while at the start then get lost

Knowing? Knowing that currents still move us around as the seasons dissolve

THE WESTERN EDGE

We are one constellation

The celestial sea, the ocean of humanity

Know that you play a sacred part as deep as your heart can feel

And however far that you may roam you are one step from home

Only one road for us

Turning the corner

Challenging everyone to come together again

What if then through life lessons learned we may return and thus transcend

Watching the new day come

Cry aloud

Calling to everyone

The sky, the sky am I

Head in the heavens yet with feet firmly on the ground

Inspired by the dreams for a new way of living

No longer can we ignore the depths of all we truly are

And however far we may roam we are one step from home

We feel the times, we heed the signs

Link your stars to the grand design

May all our hearts align

Watching the new day come

Where could we ever go where their light would not follow

Along the western edge we go

The art of all inner knowing innate

Cry out to the sky, the sky am I!

We, the celestial sea, the ocean of humanity

Along the western edge

Know that you play a sacred part as deep as your heart can feel

And as high as your dreams might carry you on sing out to the sky

Along the western edge

Through opal flame and starry eye claim all that is your true birthright

Just behind the rainbows bend, beyond the storm clouds end

Know however far you may roam you are

The western edge

FUTURE MEMORIES

In the mirror of the mind projecting

All I want my life reflecting

Mmn

To revere the stars, far and free

Yet keep them near and dear to me

Mmm

All I seek to find through universal mind

Must surely come to pass

Future memories

Future memories

Steal away

There are shadows at play

When the black night is too long to bear

Beware

Beware

From this moment forward

I don't want to make another memory

Without you

From this moment forward

(I don’t want to make another mеmory) I don't want to make another memory

Without you

Without you

Through all of lifе's complexities

I often miss the scenery

Mmm

Mmm-mmn

Reflected in the mirror the longings of the heart

Of many moons ago

All that tomorrow holds

Time encircles time expanding

Ripples on the surface of my mind

Waves of clarity

Waves of clarity

Composing the dream upon the mirror’s canvas screen

Swirling colours call to me as if from a higher century

From a higher century

Future memories

From this moment forward (Shadows at play)

I don't want to make another memory

Without you

From this moment forward, no, no

(I don't want to make another memory) I don't want to make another memory

Without you

I don't want to make another memory

Without you

(I don't want to make another memory) I don't want to make another memory

Another memory

Without you

Without you

Without you

MUSIC TO MY EARS

Move towards your goal

Take back all control

Go to the waters edge now

Sail the oceans and make your pledge

It's music to my ears, music to my ears

Music to my ears, you've found the way

You don't have to ask

Or question every task

There's a strength you've found

Step by step moving around

It's music to my ears, music to my ears

Music to my ears, you found the way

It's music to my ears (It's a blessing in disguise), music to my ears (As the darkness disappears)

Music to my ears, you found the way

Restless to sleep, carefree to wake

Hoping to finish all that's at stake

As thе evening passes so free

It's good to know wе're good company

It's music to my ears, music to my ears

Music to my ears, you found the way

It's music to my ears (It's a blessing in disguise), music to my ears (As the darkness disappears)

Music to my ears, you found the way

A LIVING ISLAND

In the West Atlantic, beyond the Windward Chain

A living coral island where we can start again

A world gone mad, on the last plane out we flew

There's no one with whom l'd rather brave the storm than you

You're my heart, you're my home

(You'll never have to go it alone)

Is this a paradise or a prison

Approaching ships now I espy

Danger or solution

We hope, we pray

(Day to day)

Never knowing where this crazy world's going

I can pick up the pieces so long as you're right beside me

Here with me

United at risk, divided we must stand

This is the current state of the world we're living in

Unfettered by fear, empowered by the science

Let us learn to be the wiser by this time next year

You're my heart, you're my home

(You'll never have to go it alone)

Is this a paradise or a prison

Approaching ships now I espy

We hope, we pray

Never knowing where this crazy world's going

Just you and me beneath the living island sun

Watching from our hill top the whole world come undone

And the voice of the Mother so loud, so clear

Rebirth, now

Earth rebirth, now!

Are we yet waking up from the nightmare

Are we yet waking up from the nightmare

(How we're ever so shaken up by the nightmare)

A nightmare of fools that pull the levers when the curtain's drawn

And play us as their pawn

Their fear and greed

Undermining every countermeasure

Nation to nation

We're in this together, though together apart in isolation

So here's to you

To the spirit of community

Here's to us

To our humanity

Here's to the frontline saviors

And the everyday heroes unseen

To you with sad spirits

Who mourn dear ones now gone

To their memories

We dedicate this song

And the time will certainly come

Their courageous stories shall be told

As deeply we hold

Hold them in the highest honor

We will remember!

Yes, each courageous story will be told

As deeply we hold

Hold them in the highest honor

In our hearts love

Forevermore

SISTER SLEEPING SOUL

Where have you gone

Your heart full of song

Oh, sister of my soul

Timid and bright

You clung to my side

Through all those teenage magic tragic nights

The hazy crazy daze of our youth

Thinking we were bullet proof

But you went too far

It was then that I lost you

You're burning out, my shooting star

Yeah, you went too far

It was then that I lost you

Sister sleeping soul

Sister sleeping soul

Where are you now

Far across the wide sea

Sleepwalking some city

By your liquid dream you're carried down stream

Spun way out of all control

Caught by the undertow

In your heart was a song

Where have you gone

In my heart you bеlong

Too high, so low

Sister sleeping soul

You went too far

It was then that I lost you

You'rе burning out, my shooting star

Yeah, you went too far

It was then that I lost you

Sister sleeping soul

Sister sleeping soul

Where are you now

You live it all like you're ten feet tall

Hey, can you free your mind

Enough to know you matter

No less than all the stars through time

Hey, can you free your mind

Enough to know you matter

No less than all the stars through time

Brighter than all stars through time

Sister of my soul never refuse to shine

Sister sleeping soul

Sister sleeping soul

Where are you now

You live it all like you're ten feet tall

Gonna crash and burn

When will you ever learn

MYSTERY TOUR

John was a fighter, his fist in a glove

Across the universe, he spoke of love

Paul was a worker but he got the blame

When the party was over, we all felt the same

They let it be like they'd never been born

We heard the silver hammer till the break of dawn

Shining like the moon, the stars and the sun

They knew the revolution had already bеgun

George played guitar likе ringing a bell

Ringo held the beat till the axe fell

Brian was the glue that held it together

Neil and Mal survived the stormy weather

They let it be like they'd never been born

We heard the silver hammer till the break of dawn

Shining like the moon, the stars and the sun

They knew the revolution had already begun

They gave us pins and needles on their Mystery Tour

Through the bathroom window without going out of your door

They came at a time, we'd lost our principles

Never did we sleep, we thought we were invincible

They'd always said you could take yourself higher, higher…

As the muddy waters broke the lions heart

They should have known better but they fell apart

Shining like the moon, the stars and the sun

They knew the revolution had already begun

They gave us pins and needles on their Mystery Tour

Through the bathroom window without going out of your door

DAMAGED WORLD

Come help us save, save this damaged world

Come help us save, save this damaged world

Paint me as a rogue or paint me as a child

The evidence of nature in the wild

In the light of what's been said

Am I the one who's most been misled

Never knowing where to stand

On the stormy sea or the shifting sand

Out across the wind blown shore

The sea so blue, white waves galore

Dreams so clear but almost lost

Over words either dotted or crossed

Not every story can really be told

So often there's more to unfold

About the times that shadows fall

It's now we heed, we heed the call

Come help us save, save this damaged world

Come help us save, save this damaged world

A valiant master of disguise

Runs amok, breaking the ties

Among friends we reunite

Lay to rest all the best to rest

Come and save this damaged world

Come and save this damaged world

Come and save this damaged world...
