Gimme, gimme, gimme what I want
Gimme, gimme, gimme what I need
I got me a burning desire
That nothing can quite slake
Yeah me and my burning desire
It's something I just can't shake
There's a hole in me
That nothing will ever fill
There's a lust in me
That nothing will ever kill, oh yeah
I got me my human needs
And nothing wil get in their way
Yeah me and my human needs
They take me to my doomsday
There's a fire in me
That nothing will ever douse
There's a fire in me
It is burning down my house, oh yeah
I got me an endless thirst
That nothing will satisfy
Yeah me and my endless thirst
I'm a thirsty kind of guy
There's an itch in me
That nothing will ever scratch
There's an itch in me
Gonna make me blow my hatch, oh yeah

I salute you, I salute you whoever you are
You’re pretty smart, pretty smart
Smartest by far
I salute you, I salute you for all that you’ve done
You’re pretty great, greatest under the sun
But let me say this much
There are worlds beyond and worlds within
And there are worlds somewhere in between
And they say greetings and salutations
How do you do
Greetings and salutations
I salute you, I salute you whatever you say
You talk the talk, yeah talk the talk
Your resume
I salute you, I salute you
Captain of my boat
You know it all, yeah know it all
Got my vote
But let me say this much
There are worlds beyond and worlds within
And there are worlds somewhere in between
And they say greetings and salutations
How do you do
Greetings and salutations
And they are dancing
And they are dreaming
And they are loving
And they say greetings and salutations
And they are living
And they are working
And they are dying
And they say greetings and salutations

Everlasting
05:18

My love is like a river
A river that has no end
I can fight against the current
Or I can dive on in and descend
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will live as one
I believe in life
I believe in truth
I believe in love everlasting
I believe in right
I believe in good
I believe in love everlasting
My love is like a river
A river that flows the sea
I am hanging on for dear life
Amid the calamity
You may say that I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will live as one
My love is like a river
A river deep and wide
I can try to swim against it
Or go along with the tide
But I'm not the only one
I hope some day you'll join us
And the world will live as one

Coming Home
04:13
|
|||
Life down here well it ain’t so great
The world’s gone crazy and it’s filled with hate
People are mean and people are cruel
We’ve broken every golden rule
Hey mom, hey dad I miss you so
There’s a part of me that can’t let go
I’m coming home
I’m coming home
I’m coming home
I’m coming home
A world of fear and a world of lies
Don’t know your foes from your allies
I feel done in and all worn out
I live in the shadows of my doubt
I’m shedding myself of all my scars
I’m climbing the up the stairs to the stars
Wanna break on through to the other side
Wanna waltz across the great divide

What You Got Coming
05:23
|
|||
All your life you’ve told your lies
All your half-truths and alibis
Nothing has ever stood in your way
It was your way or the highway
You never had no empathy
It was always me, me, me
You burned on through sacred ground
Till there was no one around
And when it comes down
And it will come down
It’ll rain down on you like a bitch
And you will scream
And you will shout
They hunted you down like a witch
You’re gonna get what you got coming
All your life you’ve had your schemes
All your various ways and means
You lived without any consequence
You’re tremendous, yeah you’re immense
No one ever got to put you down
Shove your face down in the ground
But one day karma is gonna find you
And we will watch as it unwinds you
All your life you’ve got a pass
Nothing’s ever bit you on the ass
The BS blows through you like a gust
While your empire, your empire turns to dust
But your time is drawing nigh
Your enemies will swat you like a fly
And you and yours will be swept away
In your very own judgment day

You said you'd call me
But you never did
I waited up all night long
Till my hopes had slid
Not the first time
You broke your word
Not the last time
No not unheard
Through the good times
And through the bad times
I kept on hoping you'd come through
But now I know
I don't mean nuthin' to you
You said you'd love me
Not how it went
I fell to the bottom of a pile
Nothing but a piece of lint
Not the first time
You lied to my face
Not the last time
You made a good case
You said you'd love me
But you'd didn't show it
If I was on your mind
I'd be the last to know it
Not the first time
You crushed my heart
Not the last time
You tore me apart

Lights are on across America
They are turned up high
But still we don’t see what’s in front of us
There’s nothing beyond the sky
All we gotta do is flip a switch
And there we go
Suddenly it’s all too real
Suddenly we fall like a domino
On the other side of the world
Someone meets a tragic end
On the other side of the world
It's hard to comprehend, hard to comprehend
We’re living in questionable times
Yeah, strange days indeed
The dream dead, the spirit lost
You can almost see it bleed
How can we live with our demons
How can we turn away
We can build ourselves the highest wall
But we can't keep the monsters at bay
Lights are on across America
But it looks like nobody's home
From New York City to the Golden Gate
To where the buffalo roam
On the side of the world
There’s heartache and misery
It's like nothing we’ve ever known
Nothing in history

Let's Run Away
05:00
|

Found a picture of you my sweet honey bee
You were smokin’ a stogie
Looking as brash as can be
It was then that I knew I had to have you
Let the trumpets blare
Let me shout I do declare
Let’s run away
Run, run, run away
I know that I am foolish to think I’d have a chance
But you’re all I’ve ever wanted
Throughout this great expanse
I know I may seem nutty
But you melt me like silly putty
I bet you never guessed I’d make this odd request
Let’s run away
Run, run, run away
Let us run away today
Let us run while we can
Let us go where no one will know
Super girl and super man
My heart it has been broken a thousand times or two
Will you put it back together is the plea I make of you
I know it looks farfetched
I know I may seem tetched
I’m sending this transmission
Will you take this expedition
Let’s run away
Run, run, run away

The Wagon of Love
05:29
|
|||
At the start there was love, real love
It seemed so simple and so true
I looked straight at you and you looked straight at me
We saw each other through and through
Through and through
And then, and then
The wagon of love breaks under the baggage of life
At the start there was joy, pure joy
Just the thrill of holding your hand
You cut through my shit and I cut through your shit
We’d say, I get it, yeah, I understand
But then, and then
The wagon of love breaks under the baggage of life
At the end there was nothing, no nothing
Just the remains of whatever was
I wish I could remember what we used to be like
I wish I could remember the buzz
Just to feel that buzz
So it goes, so it goes
The wagon of love breaks under the baggage of life

Ugly
03:57
|
|||
Things are odd and things are queer
Things are downright out of gear
Things are sad and things are strange
Things ain’t likely gonna change
It’s kinda ugly
Doncha think
Doncha think
It kinda stink
Things are cold and things are hot
Things are something they are not
These words they just don't get it
No they just don't get straight to the heart
Things align and then go askew
Things are always nothing new
Things are nasty and things are prissy
Things are getting too kissy-kissy
Things aren't dirty and things aren't clean
Things are somewhere in-between
Things are tasty and things are bland
Things are grinding into sand
Things are shitty and things are great
Depends on who will carry the weight

No Peace in Our Time
04:42
|
|||
Us versus them
Black versus white
It's the nature of the beast
We fight with each other
Over anything at all
And it keeps the wheels greased
That's how it is and always will be
It's a shame and a crime
We can't get along
No matter what we do
There'll be no peace in our time
Right versus wrong
Good versus bad
They all go hand in hand
We say this war
Will end all wars
But it never goes as planned
No peace
No peace
No peace in our time
Love versus hate
Truth verses lies
We can never get it straight
There's little doubt
We ever will
Before it is too late
