What Ever Moves You
04:08
|
|||
|
Sometimes you get the feeling
That the world is out of control
And there ain’t nothing you can do about it
So you flail around for answers
But you know it ain't gonna change
No matter how you scream and shout it
Whatever moves you
Whatever moves you through this world
Grab on with all you got
Whatever moves you
Whatever moves you through this world
That’s all you get and it ain’t a lot
Sometimes you get the sense
That’s something’s rotten on the inside
Even though you can’t really see it
Yeah sometimes you just know
What you know, you know
And when you know what
You know you know what it is to be it
Just grab on and don’t let go
Where you’ll wind up who’s to know
You don't know what you don't know
Sometimes you get the feeling
Deep down in your guts
That the world has done gotten off its axis
There are times you can see it
But more times when you don’t
It’s like a moon that wanes and waxes

What You Reap
04:34
|
|||
|
As you sow, so shall you reap
And what you reap will make you weep
For every action that you do
A consequence will come back on you
Who's crying now
Who's crying now
You been a bad, bad boy
You broken all your toys
All the king's horses and all the kings men
Won't ever put them back together again
No, no, no
No, no, no
No one can help you
No one can save you
You got to do it all on your own
No one can fix you
No one can change you
You got to do all that all alone
No one can protect you
No one can defend you
You got to learn to fight your fight
No one can teach you
No one can enlighten you
You got to learn what's wrong from right
You better wake up
Wake up

No Doubt
03:14
|
|||
|
Some things I just don’t get
No matter what I do
Some things I just don’t get
I'm dense through and through
I try to use my brain
But my brain’s no good
I try to use my brain
But I am one dumb dude
But when it comes to you
I am forever devout
‘Cause when it comes to you
I have no doubt
No doubt
Some things I just can’t see
No matter how I look
Some things I just can’t see
By hook or crook
I wrestle with ideas
Like so much sand
I wrestle with ideas
But I just don't understand
One thing I know, I know for sure
One thing I know, you're my cure
Some things just pass me by
Like a breeze
Some things just pass me by
With so much ease
I try to grasp
But I cannot hold
I try to grasp
But I ain't that bold

The Happy Millionaire
03:59
|
|||
|
I pulled myself up by my bootstraps
I'm a self-made man
Barely have a high school education
Fought in Afghanistan
When I got back I built my own business
Trading souvenirs from abroad
Once I sold a sacred chalice
It was touched by the hand of God
I'm the happy millionaire
My whole world is without a care
I'm the happy millionaire
Good times, good times
I built a house out in Calabasas
It's got a marble floor
I built one in Laguna too
I like being near the seashore
I play golf in the morning
Race my race car in the afternoon
In between I think rich thoughts
I'm a self-styled nouveaux tycoon
I am no shrinking violet
Wouldn't be a rich man if I was
I always mean business
I outdo the one who outdoes
People say that I'm a hard-ass
But I did what I had to do
Yeah, I cast a giant shadow
From here and there to Kalamazoo
I make no excuses
I kicked a dude on his last legs
You can't make an omelet
Unless you break a couple of eggs

Foul Rag and Bone Shop
05:05
|
|||
|
There is a room inside a room
Back behind the closet
Where all my secrets are safely tucked away
And in this room inside a room
Are pages torn from my life
From the most profound to the day to day
Now that my ladder's gone
I must lie down where the ladders start
In the foul rag and bone shop of the heart
In the foul rag and bone shop of the heart
In the foul rag and bone shop of the heart
There are tales of romance
There are tales of lost love
And there are tales that lead to dead ends
There are tales of high hopes
There tales of busted dreams
And there are tales of unfaithful friends
It is dark inside this room
It smells of mold and decay
In a few years it will all decompose
Like me it's withering
Turning quickly into dust
You can bag it all up and dispose

You can think what you like
You can think what you want
But that won’t change reality
You can make a good case
You can save your face
Dress it up with hyperbole
You got your, you got your, you got your
You got your, you got your, you got your
You got your version
You got your version of the truth
Go ahead and believe what you wanna believe
You can spin your tales
However you want
But in the end they don’t make sense
But if no one cares
You can get your way
At some poor old slob’s expense
Believe what you want
That's believing
You can live your life in a fairy tale
If it don’t add up
If it’s all a sham
Just make the lie prevail

Eternal
05:10
|
|||
|
Made a wish by the wishing tree
Made a wish for all eternity
Peace be with you and you and you
From the top of the mountain
To the bottom of the sea
It burns eternal
Eternally
Said a prayer at the burning bush
A flame leapt up and burned my tush
Thank you lord, and you and you and you
From the top of the mountain
To the bottom of the sea
It burns eternal
Eternally
Made my peace with the guy upstairs
Settled up my outstanding affairs
Forgive me please, forgive, forgive, forgive
From the top of the mountain
To the bottom of the sea
It burns eternal
Eternally

Come On In
04:35
|
|||
|
What you doing over there
We can spot you hiding
You don't fool no one
No one at all
We can see your eyes
We can see you peeping through the darkness
Come out from where the shadows fall
Come on in, come on in
We have been waiting for so long
Come on in, come on in
Help us sing to you this good song
Sing for you this song
What can we say
Say to make it better
The world kind of sucks
And it's all a drag
Don't want to BS you
Don't want to tell you lies
'Cause telling lies is not our bag
We've made you a place
A place beside the fire
Where you can have your heart's desire
You can have your heart's desire
It's OK
It's OK to break down
Bow down your head
And cry it out
What more can you do
Except ball up your fists
Jump up and down
And scream and shout

Outside
04:13
|
|||
|
Seems the time is near
For finding a place outside
Seems the time is here
For holding the window wide
So I'm going to try
To open up one eye
But if the world's too wide
I'll be home to hide
Keep it warm inside, if it's strange outside
Keep it warm inside, if it's strange outside
Keep it warm inside, if it's strange outside
If it's strange outside
Seems the time has flown
When we lived inside a cloud
Seems the time has gone
When nothing we said was out loud
Going to find a word
Make myself be heard
But if the world's too wide
I'll be home to hide
But if the world is too loud
I'll be home from the crowd
Keep it soft inside
If it's strange outside
Seems the time has come
To bang our feet to the ground
Seems the time has come
If the world is round
Sweep the smoke away
Reach the earth today
But if the world is all wrong
I won't be staying long
But if the world's too wide
I'll be home to hide

Put a Period On It
04:04
|
|||
|
You feel what you feel
And what you feel ain't no big deal
Not if you don't let it
Gotta give yourself some credit
You've gotten thus far
And you know exactly who you are
You gotta put a period on it
Bring that phase to a lyrical end
You gotta put a period on it
Don't you know you can't go back again
You gotta be strong
Go and tell the bastards that they are wrong
They can blow it out their ass
Say it with a little class
You got the strength to overcome
You're smarter than you are dumb
Don't ever give in
'Cause giving in is the most venal sin
Dig your heels into the dirt
Tell the fuckers they are gonna hurt
You may be far from ever winning
But you are only just beginning

Break This Spell
04:14
|
|||
|
There is a state of mind
That I’ve been living with
And it’s like living with an incurable condition
You gird yourself with hope
Gonna fight the good fight
But in the end it's decomposition
Break this spell, break this spell on me
Break this spell, break this spell on me
There's a way to see the world
That does not tear you down
But it’s not that path that I’ve chosen
I try not hold on tight
To any person, place or thing
But then I gotta live with my feelings frozen
Break this spell, break this spell on me
Break this spell, break this spell on me
Take that book of magic
And pick yourself a recipe
Say the magic words
Open sesame
There is a horizon
Where the vistas are flat
And there is room to move and breathe
Don’t know where it is
But I hope I can find it
So don’t wind up a living seethe

Edge of the World
07:50
|
|||
|
We are cruising along
As light as a breeze
We are living our lives
Just as we please
We do not care
We do not care
We do not care
We are flying along
up in the sky
We are happy and free
We don’t know why
We are dancing along
The edge of the world
We are singing our song
At the edge of the world
We are just blowing along
Like a leaf in a gale
We are just banging on doors
Like a hammer and nail
We do not care
We do not care
We do not care
We dream up big dreams
That’ve never been dreamt
When it comes to time
We are somehow exempt
