Gimme 04:22
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
5.
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
6.
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

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
10.
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
12.
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
