I’ve been thinkin’, it’s not right I love lucy in the sky When I taste your kiss, I smile I hope I’ll be here for a long, long time I’ve been thinkin’ about your eyes and the way they stared at mine And I'd never want to, never want to die And I wonder what’s on your mind in the time since you were mine I’ve been thinkin about you, girl I’ve been thinking, the stars at night well, there’s miss lucy up there, big and bright Ayah oohoo... My dancing girl, my porcelain doll when will you come to see me? Both day and night, I’m occupied of us is what I’m dreaming

Clue 03:05
Feel A sense of hot and cold sensation I feel like I am going numb Real? I’m getting off before the station You know where I’m coming from Can you feel it? I feel it too It’s unreal, yet it's all I knew Please believe it, of course it’s true It’s a real bet, I have no clue Feel I am the Core of muddy water feel that I am never done Real? I feel like I had never sought her This bet I think I’ve won.

So where were you the first time you heard this song? Was it on your way to graduation? Were you roaming the mall or escorted to the ball with your with your friends from the next generation? Were you having sex in a car, or hanging at the local bar, dancing with your favorite perfect stranger? Were you living large watching Charles in Charge? But are you ready for every situation? I spent two days climbing out of the hole, just to get to the top with nowhere to go... When I look back down, I see a familiar face, I guess it wasn’t that bad, at least I had a place. So where were you the last time you heard this song? Were you waiting at a plane or train station? Were you riding a bus, full of beer smell and lust, that goes from campus to Johnny’s Last Vacation? Dancing all night at the wedding in white, before your honeymoon reservation. Were you dressed down at the concert in town, waiting for the band’s invitation? One of these days... it’s one of those days... One of these, one of those, sink or swim, will I win? Tell the truth, tell a lie, wishing now that I could fly... Run ahead, fall behind, sleep is fine, rise and shine, Should I stay, should I go? Let me follow Dorothy home.

Sun 05:27
I recall how it felt the last time through Terrible it was, my fears came true But now this time, as I soar high above another understands She’s sad, I fear, my friend, my dear, us both with empty hands Every time I’m in the Sun I can hear them crying, love Every time I’m all alone can you hear them falling low? Twenty-two, an aged fool Past and present minds, they duel Airport, waiting and waiting for time to fly Me, right here, my mouth is dry Every time I’m all alone, can you hear them falling, love? Inside your mind, you lied Every time I sail, every time I’m loth inside Every time I sail, every time I’m lost inside Inside… Every time I’m all alone, can you hear them falling?

Another Day 02:50
As the DNA flows through my veins I pray with all my might As the entrance glows with a fiery rain in my direction through the night The silence stirs to the light of flame the raging touch begins the game the DNA shows me the name Pearls of blue that fall to grey I want to see them look my way I think I might and I think I may Release me into another day I wait to hear the siren’s song I dream of what could be The more I wait, it’s way too long it makes perfect sense to me Going to school for another day

Ride 03:32
Surf and sand in the palm of my hands two things I can easily control But ask me how I feel about forever and I’ll tell you my thoughts on how I own the weather Did you ever think of the day you’d be where the yellow sun shines its brightest glow? Did you ever think of the day you’d be where the two us can live out the show? I’ll take you for a ride I’ll take you out to anywhere that you wanna go I’ll take you for a ride as long as I can be there when you first see the snow Future’s lawn, there are no properties It opens up to whomever roams You and me believe in destiny Why take a chance on just one last roll? There are so many places that we can start How 'bout a trip to the stars or a date on Mars? Let’s view the world through the eyes that we see it and carve our vision straight into stone.

Listen 02:43
Did you listen when I tried to explain? Did you hear what you wanted to hear? Then you try your voice whisper, slowly sigh Then you roll your eyes shut down your mind Hand me over the wheel it’s no dream, this is real You’re alive, enjoy the ride My dreamscape explodes live your life à la mode It’s alright... 'til you come back down, crash into the ground Not a sound as you fall from my sky Tearing off your skin that’s where I come in We’ll begin with a song You’ll sing along The words don’t mean much when I long for your touch It’s my turn to crash and burn Extinguish your flame on my face put me into my place then I’ll learn... Shut down my mind So numb, I can feel if there’s pain, then it’s real I’m alive, enjoyed your ride My dreamscape implodes as you walk out the door of my life.

Staring up at the porch light as it shows our special place I unfold my hands and outline what we call our private space To believe in me from the moment that I talked to you to understand the pictures I’ll hold in my hands But I never really wanted more than I could give to you Well I might not be your everything and that suits you just fine If I hand you broken promises you can leave me any time But should we take this all the way we’ll hang on 'til we die I might not be your everything but to you I will not lie To think what we know is worth all the pain we’ll suffer to know what you want to get there is so much harder I won’t lead you on knowing how it’s always hard to feel like a part of me while I’m washing up my misery But I never really wanted more than I could give to you. You are my everything

I’m alone tonight, and I can’t imagine why Vanilla bean is what I’m after Suddenly, my mind is full of choices that I find Guess it doesn’t really matter Got nothing better to do than sit and dream of you I didn’t even hear them leave Got nothing better to do than sit and talk with you I didn’t even hear them leave With my callous mind I witness sunsets so sublime wishing there was something brighter Can you help me find melody to ease my mind? All this thinking makes me tired

Red Sky 04:25
I’m staring forth into the sky as it brings tears to my eyes Into the blaze, I wonder why I think of her and then I pray that I will see red today and think of what she’d say in my red sky I see red in my sky Why is the world one big lie? Please, Lord Red, tell me why It’s been a mystery as time goes by I’m looking up into the fire ‘til I can’t see any higher It’s a taste you must aquire In my red sky I see red when I look into your eyes I see red, please, Lord Red, tell me why? I see red when I look into your eyes
