The Canyon

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

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...

Man with the Mic
06:25
|

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

Bones of An Age
06:29
|
|||
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
