New birds and colors emerge the breeze has blown our cardboard soul into the rain out to the road we float through the cracks in the cobblestone Hey look we're on our way Oh To the end of time In the light of day You're out of your mind I'm born all over again the sunlight shakes the factory walls always be young never grow old and watch as the structure falls If we had money Would we be happy At the end of the day You're out of your mind We're glad that you finally have arrived Let's walk the streets for a while through dark alleys we shall roam hold me tight as we glide through the night and dance on the cobblestones

SATURDAY NIGHT PALSY
I've been walking the floor I asked the Ouija board To tell me what I need to know The Queen of broken hearts in her castle made of cards is singing to the walls waiting for the wind to blow You can hear her laugh and cry For the Love that passed you by Oh Love we must repent for the things we never did They're all dead they're all messed up they're calling out our names You can hear them laugh and cry For the love that passed us by My heart is on the mend but I do not intend To play the greatest hits of the past 50 years Let me hear you laugh and cry for the world that passed me by Don't it make you laugh and cry? Don't it make you feel alright?

SEND IN THE CLOUDS
I feel like disappearing into oblivion without a trace without a care into the spirit zone out there oh yeah On this cool rainy day Teardrops of the gods fill up my cup My friends who ride the short bus are waiting for me now To take them out to the shopping mall to watch the water fall Roll down I'm there On this cool rainy day Teardrops of the gods fill up my cup Fill it up A special place in heaven is waiting for me now they're sending in the clouds to entertain the crowd oh wow I'm there On this cool rainy day Teardrops of the gods fill up my cup Out of the clouds the sun appears is that their love that is shining on you You in the dark is that a spark it's just a consumer smiling on you

BITTER SWEET PLUM
D (Maj7)
You were flying on the twisted wings of fate
G (Maj7)
I was there beside you
D (Maj7)
in a kind of altered state
Em
Higher than we ever gone
D (Maj7)
You could have been anybody I could have been anyone
G (Maj7)
Spirits so elated
D (Maj7)
We thought the day would never come
Em
Darling My Bitter Sweet
D (Maj7)
Plum
Em D
We found something new under the sun
G D
What we found out in a dream
G D
Can never be explained
G D
as we wake up in the moment
D A G A D
to discover things will never be the same
Higher than the average angels ever dared to dream to to fly Higher than any drunkard that ever staggered from the sky
Higher than we ever gone We found something new under the sun Darling My Bitter Sweet Plum We found something new under the sun

DEVIL'S MUSIC
As the sweet old lady sheds her shame The boob tube babies take the blame For shakin' up the beasts in the cages The parents and the teachers say that's outrageous Don't it Break your heart? The need to fill the desire When all that glitters turns to shit we'll go dance on diamonds in the pit With the beat box blastin'' the boom booms and the boom booms singing I'm on fire Don't it Break your heart? The need need to fill your desire Forever falling lady into that dark spot It's the Devils music baby it's making me so hot I'm on fire As the neon lady sheds her skin the lights of Vegas dim They're shaking up the beasts in the cages They're shaking up the beasts and they're letting them all out Don't it break your heart? The need to fill the desire I'm on fire

DON'T LOSE YOUR HIGH
In another life we were the best of friends Now we meet again under the influence We're having trouble with identifying who we are inside the crowded lonely bar Maybe I'm really not who you think I am and this reality is a total sham We're having problems recognizing where we stand inside this hazy hologram You can waste your time But don't lose your dreams no You can use some sleep But don't you lose your high You can lose some pride But don't you lose your smile Don't lose your dreams and Don't you lose your high Or we'll have trouble with identifying you

NOT JUST ANOTHER DREAM SONG
I've been hanging out with glamor riding on the dream line back to earth In between your legs I'm feeling so enamored Oh would you miss me at all If this dream life came to a halt No need to cry we'll meet again someday All the commuter's gouge their eyes while we're riding on the earth bound train All aboard the train from sorrow People laugh and drink and pop their pills To kill something they cannot remember Last night I dreamt of a kiss What is the meaning of this It's only a dream but we'll be forever changed All of the tourists check this scene while we're riding on the earth bound train I feel like I'm flying on a skyjacked plane Last night I dreamt I could fly What is the meaning on goodbye Hold me again Let me be the light again All of the wonders in this life why are we riding on the earth bound train We could be flying on the astral plane

THE ONLY ONES
Hanging out in the rubble of an ideal home They had good taste in music and a leaping gnome Who danced around the remnants of what was a world of Love And turning on the phonograph I recognized your laugh Happy to meet you Sorry to say goodbye You're one of the Only Ones who's still alive Down the end of lonely street There's a house for sale Happiness is never owned but our desires free Talk to me I know you know what we need can't be sold Give it to me Sounds like the cops are coming Take what you need I'll think about you often positively Happy to meet you Sorry to say goodbye You're one of the Only Ones still alive

THE ENABLER
I woke up in purgatory on a groovy afternoon
The person laying next to me said to me it's only a dream if you don't die in your sleep
Remember where you're from
Don't be denying your heathen love
I'll be your enabler
There's a modern inconvenience in the after world
It starts when you're not welcome but you go anyway just to see who can see you
There's an easier way up
After the party has long gone down
I'll be your enabler And I will lead you to the door Hit it
The streets don't look the same
Now there's nobody but me to blame
I'll be yours and You will be mine
Open up the door and set the demons free
Now isn't that what friends are for

WELCOME TO MARS
I beat a path to find the lady miner Her beacon burning brightly in the dark Clutch my money like a stolen passport Ring the door bell that says Welcome To Mars Up where the atmosphere is rare And everybody breathes through straws She's selling dust as souvenirs And you can never get enough Clear for take off shut the door behind The lady knows I'll visit again Her face has launched a thousand frequent fliers standing by until she ushers them in To where the atmosphere is rare...When you run out of outer space She says there's more where that came from

WORN OUT STATE OF MIND
Conditions do exist so we all gather around in a worn out state of mind With holes in our souls and bells on our toes We've come to learn there is no wrong or right and How far is Heaven from hear I'm dancing in a night club with yesterdays news it said today you'd appear With open arms to melt the ice around my heart Now I'm asking you if the party's near and How far is your Love from here Stroll through the night make for the light Go back the way you came in It could be that easy Continue to exist find a state of bliss in your worn out state of mind There are lots of drugs to take and lots of hearts to break Let me count the ways that there are to escape and How far is heaven from here

TAKEN AWAY
They were coming to see you but you weren't home In the cemetery you were marveling the stones They knocked upon your door but no answer came A neighbor said they saw you out walking in the rain You got a lot on your mind You need space to find A way to love this life You got a lot on your mind To leave this place behind to love to live this life Caught in a chemical community losing in the afternoon A friend of ours said you found a better scene They were dying to meet you but you weren't there I was trying to wake you from your worst nightmare...
