The Canyon 05:43
They say it never rains In sunny Californ-I-A It’s true, I must say Those eucalyptus nights don’t change Beneath the stars we might dance between the lines It’s a simple way of life, lazy days and hazy nights The good wine is out of fashion… Everyone in the know is living in the canyon Time don’t exist In a place as strange as this Where everything is fine When you’re hurling through the sky As an echo through the canyon Mojo rises from the ground people groovin’ on the sound Til someone starts to happen… Let's wander through the random Any way you choose is fine Climbing and winding Towards sunrise Where the houses live on hills Painted through the tree line There’s something in the way She makes you wanna stay Forever out of phase in In the belly of the beast Tucked in front of Love Street The clock runs years behind That Hollywood frame of mind Everyone’s guaranteed to be anyone anyone you oughta be Anyone you oughta be Anyone you oughta be Anyone you oughta be

Strange Bird 07:07
She’s a strange bird with a P.H.D. in chemistry Hangs around in any crowd, she don’t care She’s a fixer -- always got the remedy To get you oh so high Hey Wait Don’t leave me on the line Hey Everybody’s talking now Wait What’s the story anyhow Is it time to fly? Nobody said it was gonna be easy Nobody said it wasn’t worth the time Do it again and again, I’d have you anytime He’s a weird cat, bouncing like a basketball Overfilled and splitting at the seam He’s a bad fish, drowns himself in alcohol She’s as good as gone Hey Wait Don’t hang me out to dry Hey Everybody’s talkin’ now Wait What’s the story any how Are you satisfied? Take what you need but don’t be greedy Take what you need and say goodbye Then do it again, and again, I’d have you anytime She’s a free bird, swimming through the air Paints the town don’t give a fuck all the time Like a rag doll tossed aside She don’t need you now Hey Wait Don’t hang me out to dry Hey Everybody’s talking now Wait What’s the story anyhow Is it time to fly? No one ever said it was gonna be easy No one ever said it wasn’t worth the time Do it again and again, I’d have you anytime...

Green is the color Of the paper we all pass It lifts you up or holds you down No matter how much you stack No one knows the reason There’s nothing you can say Searching for the answer To the puzzle along the way One is the number Of people you can trust To seize the day in your own way With not much to discuss Five is the hour The sunlight hits your hand It feels so good you knew it would Like playing in the band Drop another night on the fire The good times are burnin’ on Pullin’ on a string to inspire The one with the microphone Surfin’ on the shadow of the backbeat Carried by the clouds below Feed another line to the heartbeat And feel like a rolling stone Before you know And it’s on with the show… Yellow is the flower That reaches for the Sun Raisin’ cain in the pouring rain Just rolls right off her tongue No one knows the reason They wither one by one You live and learn at every turn These lessons when you’re young Ringo is the Beatle People love the least John and Paul almost wrote em’ all But George just can’t be beat Breathless is the singer Who gives it all his might The song he penned for all his friends Explodes like dynamite Drop another night on the fire The good times are burnin’ on Pullin’ on a string to inspire The one with the microphone Surfin’ on the shadow of the backbeat Carried by the clouds below Feed another line to your heartbeat And feel like a rolling stone Before you know And it’s on with the show...

Ease My Mind 06:18
Don’t let ‘em take away my sunshine I’m just a tic away from madness Ain’t ready to know, Ain’t ready to go Such a simple machine Won’t you listen to the blue bird sing A simple song so inviting She always looks to the sky, she’s always ready to fly She’s never caught in between Steady my soul and ease my mind Lift us up in the sky so high Cover me with empathy The songbird sings to inspire me It’s quite alright if you don’t get that You’ve never been around that chit-chat Never left in the cold, always do as you’re told tap that tambourine May you always be a head-light Steering clear from that jack-knife Make us dance in the rain, dear Mary Jane Run away with me Steady my soul and ease my mind Make us laugh until you make us cry Cover me with empathy The songbird sings to enlighten me She’d never sell me down the river But if she did I would forgive her Makes everyday feel like Saturday When she calls my name Don’t let ‘em take away my baby I just can’t take it I’d be crazy Gonna put up a fight for my satellite Like a wolverine She’ll always do me right When I’m feelin’ uptight You know what I mean? Gonna fight for her right to fly high as a kite I can guarantee Steady my soul and ease my mind Those diamond eyes they shine so fine Cover me with empathy This songbird seems to remember me

Buried beneath the weight of your plan Mining for blood from the heart of the land Skipping a stone on a river of glass Sketching a Vision from the rocks of the past What’s in the dust? The bones of an age Their secrets will shape The words on the page A mystery in the making The apple of your eye Wings of angels are breaking All in time by and by they fall from the sky Carved into clay a message appears A sliver of time from the Golden Years Decoding the script from the medicine man Sketching a Vision with the blood from his hand What’s in the crust? The bones of an age Their lyric will break The bars of the cage A miracle in the making The apple swallows your eye Wings of angels are breaking All in time by and by they fall from the sky
