I've Been Thinkin'
04:06

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.

Out of the Hole
03:18
|
|||
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.

Your Everything
03:37
|
|||
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

Nothing Better To Do
03:08
|
|||
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
