A Better Way

Yea, we're gonna make it through.
The thought of being with you makes a better day There's so much we can do.
and I know it is true, we found a better way

I know it's hard to share the way you feel with someone strange but I'm your closest friend Hurt so many times the wounds have healed and left a scar you can't pretend
You don't need to justify the way you live your life but don't forget the truth
Search and you will find the answer to your destiny inside of you

When everything gets complicated breathe out, let go and break it down
Close your eyes and count to seven and maybe you'll wake up in easy town
Forget your guilty conciousness cause that's no excuse to get nothing done
Look at your priorities, Look at
where you put 'Having fun'

Cut Loose

I'm gonna' catch a train to the very last station before the edge of my mind.
Just to find a way out of frustration
I don't know what I'll find

I think I know the answers are tied onto the truth but when I ask the questions... I'm cut loose

Take a running jump off the mountain of the real world into the ultimate dream.
Dive down deep under the water
it's much deeper than it seems

Ride the wildest thought into the sunset of oblivion and don't look back at the way
Go and find enough that you can call an answer then forget what I say

Evergreen

Everbeen in a scene in a dream that your kind is falling
Never seen what I mean y'evergreen and your mind is gone
Where you been clever gene lazerbeam but you're blind and crawling
Everbeen gasoline adrenaline and y' find it's on - fire

When ya gonna wake up, to the to the life that you must lead.
You gotta change your ways, or change the days, to make your world complete.
Theres no use in telling all your friends what they should do.
If you ain't all together now there's no way they'll believe you.
Just take up that disguise for a while to hide yesterdays sorrow.
the mask of grace you placed upon your face will be you tomorrow

Everbeen in a scene in a dream that your kind is falling
Never seen what I mean y'evergreen and your mind is gone
Where you been clever gene lazerbeam but you're blind and crawling
Everbeen gasoline adrenaline and y' find it's on - fire

Theres a problem branded deep into in your soul
and though you want to change the world you really have no goal
It's plain to see that you dont have no hope at all
well that don't matter anymore cause you are here now
Simple Satisfaction is only a moment away.
But you won't find it tomorrow you won't find it yesterday.

Facing Up

From faith to perseverance at the starting line
Prepare to pace yourself against your life
With determination in your heart and mind
stand and face the gods

I've got to learn how to fly
I got to learn how to fall

There aint no time to look down
There aint no time at all
Captured in wide open space

there aint nowhere to sit down
Fire is burning my face
now all my fears have unwound

Rocks falling down on my head
from all the losers above
Cheating themselves to get up
Lying their way into love
Use all the power you've got
focus it up the sky
Reach out your hands to the world
and you will never die

Don't be afraid to fail,
you've failed if you don't try

Fireside

We Travelled Miles and miles across the land to see you
Sending Greeting from a distant shore
We bring the smiles and laughs of friends in many places
Step off the open road and through an open door

Sometimes it hasn't been so easy
Sometimes I wish I'd stayed at home
Looking back it seems we lost our way
together now, here I want to stay

Another Night at the Fireside
Dancing Flames, Lighing up our faces
Endless Nights with Starry eyes
Times have stopped, and gathered up the Places

The road ahead keeps winding on and on, up and down
over mountains forever more
We travelled way to far beyond the white line
our journey ended when we drifted apart

All the Lonely roads somewhere meet at one
yet I'm stranded on the road that leads to you
Waitin here alone hoping for a ride
Is no one driving by, Is no one passing through.

Fools of School

People must be crazy
tryin'a make the rules.
If you don't follow nature
you must me just be a fool from school

Lovers have turned lazy
While passion keeps it's cool
Working for a living
Have you become The Tool from school?

Your cage is getting smaller
You Wall is growing taller
You lies are wearing thinner
your flame is burning dimmer

Free Fun

Paint dries, a candle burns down
A car drives past, lots is happening
Another cup of tea in a month of Sundays
Put some music on cos the silence is deafening

There's nothing worse than waiting
So run right into the sun
Maybe you aint got lots of money
But it's free to have fun

What's wrong? Nothing's ever right
It's too damn dark, go on and turn the light on
It's all a trick, it's all in the wrist
Find another answer, tick it off the list

Hey you, did you understand
can you follow this song, is it going in
Just relax, tap your groovy foot
we ain't got time to try and drill it in

---

Get it Done

There's an answer, you just don't wanna' hear it, cos' it means you've got something to do. There's a solution but you won't believe it, cos' it sounds too simple to be true.

Don't go waiting for tomorrow.
Get on and get it done today, yea...
Get it done, get it done now.

There ain't no problem, you take a situation and blow it right out of hand.
There ain't no hurry but you're always wasting time waiting for you're friends.

If you don't move something
someone else is gonna' move you,
so you know what you gotta' do...
Get it done...

Gimme a Signal Baby

You pushed my levels so high
i couldn't turn it down again
messing with my circulation
my valves popping one by one

red lining on the meter
clipping out on the buz
when you go hard panning left and right
you better mute me cause I'm gonna buzz

You're so Fine
Gimme a signal baby - Oh
You're so Fine
Gimme a signal now - Be Wimme

Did you tamper with my tempo
my timecodes out of sync
Come on and give me a cue now
my mind is on the blink
Low cut, High shelf
I tried to equalize
Channel 24 to 32 are fading
up and down on motorize

You got me going solo, doing mono
high and dry peaking in the studio
cos when you leaned across my rack
you touched the back
activated the guitar track

I love the sound of you
Just talkback when your feeling blue
Standing in the vocal booth
with your headphones all alone
You know you always drive my crazy girl
the way you hold that microphone

---

How could you Forget

Playing with fire, you burnt your fingers
hurt you pride and broke your mind
Playing with water sinking into self pity
You lost your breath and burned up your time

one more day
Choking on Smoke
Drowning on Sorrow
How could you lose Hope?

How could you forget
the day before Tommorrow?
How could you forget
the Day after Yesterday?

I Hear You Calling

One day i was out sailing
got swept out in a storm
miles out in the open sea
i awoke three days later at dawn

Caught a fish for my breakfast
but i set him free
He swam back through the water
and smiled and spoke to me

this is what he said...
Ahyehayea, I can hear you calling
High yea yea I can feel you breath
high yea i can feel you falling
I yea ye i can hear you leave

I found an egg in a birds nest
but put put it back in the tree
a golden bird flew down then
and smiled and sang to me

Face to face with a lion
With a mouth the size of my head
his jaw dropped even wider
he yawned and smiled and said

Back to front with a monkey
jumping onto my neck
Now we both can see higher
what he saw is what he said

---

I Like

I eat eggs for breakfast with a slice of toast
A little bit of pepper, I like the most
A cup of coffee, I like a chocolate bar
I like it milky, I like to play guitar

I like peanut butter on plain old bread
I little pinch of salt goes right to my head
Water it down with a cup of tea
It gets so pasty and sticks inside my teeth

---

Overflow

I used to sing of freedom, happiness and truth
I even believed it for a while
But I lost hope and trust in the human race
and i greived for every child
now that I am broken, you don't want me anymore
I'm used to being lonely sitting by the river
watching the floor of tears

Concentrate and my mind will explode
Contemplate and my memory would overflow
Concentrate and my mind will explode
Contemplate and my memory would overflow

You don't listen to the songs I sing
but I don'T care anymore
Cos now I'm singing to myself and my true friends
wherever they are
I would stop throw don my guitar
and leave the room in silence
But this is all I got, I know it ain't a lot
but it ain't violence

Concentrate and my mind will explode
Contemplate and my memory would overflow
Concentrate and my mind will explode
Contemplate and my memory would overflow

Rocket Shoes

I think I am a spaceman cos no one understands How I sculpture molecules with my bare hands I think I am an alien cos I can't reason why Money's more important than saving someone's life

I've got the blues cos my rocket shoes
are locked onto the spiral delay
It's real bad news when your gravity shoes
are bouncing quickly away

I think I'm from the future cos my mind's ahead of time The body that I'm wearing is rented for this life I think she is a spacegirl cos we really are in love we're from different planets but we both float high above

Give me back my space helmet before I suffocate The radio is broken and I can't navigate
Until our mission's over, we can't go home
In suspended animation on the planet earth we roam

The Story of Mary Jane

She told me her name was mary
and her maiden name was jane
Some say shes too contrary
some say she's not quite sane! uh hu?
But she knows how to bake a cake
and she knows how to take a break

At night she goes out walking
and dancing barefoot down the lane
then stop to watch the moonclouds
she says it's better in the rain
She sells seashells on the shore
and gives the money to the poor

She never saw us smiling
that's exactly why she came, maybe?
Cos she can throw a party
with something so mundane, as this!
Cos she knows how to lose your sheep
she's counting wolves while they're asleep! Get it?

At the Heart of the city upon the highest high rise block
The greenest garden for miles around right at the top

One day the cops tool the elevator
to bust her on the roof, on suspicion!
But when the searched among the flowers, for hours
they found nothing but the truth
for she knows how to live the dream
she's pure as water, clear and clean.

You might think she's from a fairy story
cos you recognised a ryhme.
You misstook her for another princess
you know that happens all the time

a secret smile behind her eyes
innocence with calm and wize

Take a Ride

Take a ride on your own
Take a ride on your own now
Take a ride all alone
Take a ride on your own

I saw you smiling
as you was waving from the door
I know you're lying
and hiding your tears in drops of rain

As we were leaving
I saw you look back one more time
I hear you crying
almost laughing, you just break down in tears

Take a ride on your own

You say you're happy
but you'd be laughing if you weren't sad I know your lonely
you look like you need to cry, all night

I watch you sleeping
I know your dreaming that we're at home cause when you wake up
it all turns to nightmares and you just close your eyes

Take a ride on your own

You are center or my heart
the center of my universe

The Power

There's nothing else to do,
there's nothing else I know
My dreams are all waking up
and getting up to go
Don't ask me what I'll do
Please don't ask me why
I don't need to run away
Now that I can fly

I used to think that magic wings
would carry me away
But magic is an illusion
and there's a price you pay
I found myself standing still
the world was passing me by
Now I understand the magic power
I can fly

There's nothing more to say
to make you understand
Ask yourself what I mean
the answer's in your hand
Taking off is the hardest part
no matter what you try
It's easier on your own wings
yes... you can fly

---

Yes (I'm Free)

Yes, I've started a new idea
I'm not sure where it will go
When I get there I will know
And now, each day, this very moment
is the time that it comes true
and I'm sure what I will do

Yea, Yea, Yea, Yea, I'm free

Truth is the path I'll always take
It's the one I'll always choose
So how can I ever lose
Free...I will give you all your freedom
We can free climb on the wall
and we won't be tied at all

High...Too high to see the ground
I can only see the sky
and there are no reasons why
Time is a clock up on the wall
to tell me when to meet you there
That's the only time I care

---

You'll Find a Way

I can see in your eyes
there is no surprise
the time has come and gone and never said goodbye - oh my
I know you could have tried
but you never failed
nothing ever turned out how you wanted it to be
but you see

I know you
I know you'll find a way
There are many things that I would like to say
I've seen you
I've seen you in my dreams
Life can be so easy, it's not the way it seems

How could you believe, what you said would be real
you were so much younger then than now, so how?
Nothing ever was
Nothing ever will be
Everything just comes you way and you take or not

You Just Wanna' Hear me Say F**k

Maybe you're right but I think you're wrong You don't care about the words of a song as long as it shocks, and it rocks
and it knocks down the walls of elegancy It don't matter what you say its how you say it but that depends on who's listening
and what's happening, who wants to sing A jingle with philosophy

You don't hear me quote religion
or hear me when I say look
your the one who's missing the point
You just want to hear me say F**K!

You don't really want to know the reason Your just happy if this song gets banned From the common man. That's your plan
to be against the way of the nation
Sometimes the words of wonder need a little impact But it's easy to throw in a dirty word or two To make it blue, for you
But you only wanna be a irritation

You don't hear me vote for pigeons
or watch me feed a duck
Your the one who's eating acorns
You just want to hear me say F**K!

Personally I think it's a good word
when used in the right context
