Changes in the Weather

Closing in on happiness 'till my thoughts turn the other way I'm chasing a dream that spins me out of control Simplistic intuitions free me from the grip of society Don't wanna live my life like it's a movie roll

But I feel it in the air On the highest mountaintops Just wanna hold that breath forever I'm dancin' in the clouds With my feet still on the ground I couldn't say a dream could get much better And then the rain comes pouring down And you wake up to the sound Of changes in the weather

I close my eyes for a moment I'm taken to that timeless zone I'm feeling lost and helpless in a sea without a breeze The unobtrusive feelings are slowly catching up to me I wish the wind would bring me someone so I wasn't so alone

But I feel it in the waves As they crash on over me Just wanna float out here forever With a six-string in my hand And my feet buried in the sand I couldn't say a dream could get much better And then you watch the sun go down While you wake up to the sound Of changes in the weather

Ohh ohh yeah...

When the lights have all gone out Thoughts of the day get tossed about The images you see Become a false reality And your dreams become the pictures And those pictures fit together Flashing scenes of pious hopes And things you can't remember Running towards the water A silence fills the air Happiness overcomes you 'Till you realize you're not there...

But I feel it in the air On the highest mountaintop Just wanna hold that breath forever I'm dancin' in the clouds With my feet still on the ground I couldn't say a dream could get much better And as you watch the sun go down You wake up to the sound Of changes in the weather Changes in the weather

'Till you realize you're not there...

The Ocean

I never thought that I would make amends with the ocean But as we left the shores my eyes began to tear Why had it always caused me uneliusive feelings? Why had it always left me fear? Truth is my thoughts that had me sinkin' to the bottom Driftin' like a bottle through the sea without a sound And when I finally washed up to your sandy shorebed The message in the bottle had no writing to be found

Well this is my paradise This is all I really need And I can't live without this feeling Of the ocean around me, yeah

Waves crashin' on the shore sunrise the water's sparkling Warm sand between my toes diggin' in there's so much comfort I'm not knowin' where it ends or if it keeps on going An entire world beneath my body as I float, yeah

This is my paradise This is all I really need And I can't live without this feeling Of the ocean around me, yeah

This is my paradise This is all I really need And I can't live without this feeling Of the ocean around me, yeah

Every now and then I sit and I think about this life And I say "yeah, how could anyone want more?" I got the notion put your body in motion Come on now we'll take a ride on the ocean There's a lot of candy in this store

Every now and then I sit and I think about this life And I say "yeah, how could anyone want more?" I got the notion put your body in motion Come on now we'll float away on the ocean There's a lot of candy in this store

Every now and then I sit and I think about this life And I say "yeah, how could anyone want more?" I got the notion put your body in motion Come on now I gotta stay on the ocean There's a lot of candy in this store

Cinimin' Summer

So come on over it's fine by me The weather is fine for a pool house party I hope you all know that it's BYOB Drinks on the house where we make the money So throw 'em up put 'em down the way it should be Laugh it up live it up in the summer please I see you in the corner they're lookin' at me Can I sit next to you 'cause you're the one I gotta meet You smile so nice, you know you're cinimin' sweet Those curls in your hair, I really dig the barefeet Chases me over to the corner and kisses me on the cheek I'll hold you in my arms, you're the one I wanna keep

I'm feelin free, feelin fine cause it's summer time Drinkin' sippin' clothes are rippin' skinny dippin' in the moonlight Mind your p's and q's be sure you don't abuse The priveledges that were given to you And the night ain't through until the sun is risin' up again

And when we wake up in the mornin you know it's back to the beach Only matter when we get there don't matter when we leave If we find some swells there that would be a treat Like to think myself a surfer but i'm from the northeast That don't matter to me you know I love it anyway Nowhere else I'd rather be on a bright and sunny day Jump in and loose yourself let the tide take you away Take my hand, leave the sand, come to the water and play See the moon risin as the sun begins to set My skins a little dry but my mouth's feelin wet I take a deep breath and feel the chills down my neck I pull my baby close cause she'll keep me warm I bet Let's make for the poolhouse, you can bring a friend or three Mind their p's and q's and it don't matter to me Until the summer runs out that's the way it will be So strike a chord find the beat and sing it with me

I'm feelin free, feelin fine cause it's summer time Drinkin' sippin' clothes are rippin' skinny dippin' in the moonlight Mind your p's and q's be sure you don't abuse The priveledges that were given to you And the night ain't through until the sun is risin up again

Roll If Ya Fall

Lately the sun is castin' shadow over me So come on and take me by the hand, Lead me through the trouble waters of the sea So maybe you got a halo over your head all the time As for me, all I need is this rhythm for movin' Cause you know, I keep kickin' it live, yea

Can I get a witness? To defend my case No I won't get caught up In the corporate rat race Well all I got's this committment And behind it I'll stand tall If flat shadows get me down I'ma roll if I fall

So step back for a moment To analyze all that you've achieved And tell me was it what you wanted? (Was it what you wanted?) Did it make you happy? (Did it make you happy?) Or had you been decieved?

And if you have still yet to understand this theme Well plain and simple Don't live somebody else's dream Don't you know the sea will surely come again And the stars will fill the sky Well it's a simple inspiration But it always blows my mind, yea

Well can i get a witness? To present my plea And no I won't fall victim To this animosity All they can teach you Is the writin' on the wall I'm gonna cut my strings free And I'ma roll if I fall

You know I'll roll if I fall..

Cause it's a simple inspiration It always gets me high It's a familiar disposition I can see it in your eyes It's the beauty of a new sunrise You can never see one the same And when we add the score at the end of this life, Wanna say I won the game

It's the simple inspiration It always gets me by It's a familiar disposition I swear I see it in your eyes It's the beauty of a new sunrise You can never see one the same And when we add the score at the end of this life, Wanna say I won the game

It's the simple inspiration It always gets me high It's a familiar disposition I swear I see it in your eyes It's the beauty of a new sunrise You can never see one the same And when we add the score at the end of this life, I Wanna say I won the game (x4)

Yea bring it back, yea

Drink To You

The network is down, the problem can't be found Don't let me find you hangin' around here To me it's all clear, you're lettin' another steer Your life in the wrong direction You need some social protection, cause my recollection I was on a similar path following the footprints You know they've been there for years, I want it here, this much is clear

So raise your glass and I'll drink to you And they will find themselves when the drinkings through If the man shows his face before your feet hit the floor Turn to the left and make for the back door Right into the night you know we hit the streets runnin' Ain't behind you yet, but you know that it's comin' now Don't slow down those stars they fade from red to green And the lights all change

Well take a deep breathe and count to ten Pull yourself together we're gonna do it again They can't turn us down, we'll fight our way in Place your bets and make your bids "A day in the life", some might say Man, we're just tryin' to get a taste But why we gotta hide behind this face Because without it we'd never be accepted in this place

Place your bets and I'll think of you Maybe we'll find ourselves when the drinkings through The man shows his face before your feet hit the floor Turn to the left and make for the back door Right into the night you know we hit the streets runnin' Ain't behind you yet, cause you know that it's comin' now Don't slow down those stars they fade from red to green And the lights all change

Oh, oh woah

I said I won't slow down until the stars they fade (Raise your glass and I'll drink to you) Runnin' these streets where lives are made Now close your eyes, we'll call good days (Maybe we'll find ourselves when the drinkings through) From red to green, the lights all change How you gonna tell me I'm not the age (Raise your glass and I'll drink to you) Put a gun in my hand and take my drink away, take my drink away (Maybe we'll find ourselves when the drinkings through)

I said I won't slow down until the stars they fade (Raise your glass and I'll drink to you) Runnin' these streets where lives are made Now close your eyes, we'll call good days (Maybe we'll find ourselves when the drinkings through) From red to green, the lights all change How you gonna tell me I'm not the age (Raise your glass and I'll drink to you) Hold a gun in my hand and take my drink away, take my drink away (Maybe we'll find ourselves when the drinkings through)

Roland

I got a friend and I need him But he's so far away Because he's friends with the needle And it's always there to play He's got no one left to follow He just goes his own way And when today turns into tomorrow Well tomorrow looks a lot like today

But when you look inside yourself Would you wish that I was near? Or would you wish that I was by your side? When the stars have all come out Will the horizon still be clear? Or will you look at me through clouded skies? But when you look inside yourself Would you wish that I was near? Or would you wish that I was by your side? When the stars have all come out Will the horizon still be clear? Or will you look at me through clouded skies?

So the spotlight's now on you You got your back against the wall The small crack in the floor looks like heaven right now What happened to the days when we were just runnin' through the streets? Time turned it's back on you and you don't know how

So put your hands behind your head Feel the cold tighten on your skin Should you get the chance to start again Would you keep the door locked tight, or will you let the needle in?

When you look inside yourself Would you wish that I was near? Or would you wish that I was by your side? When the stars have all come out Will the horizon still be clear? Or will you look at me through clouded skies? When you look inside yourself Would you wish that I was near? Or would you wish that I was by your side? When the stars have all come out Will the horizon still be clear? Or will you look at me through clouded skies?

Whoa, oh yeah...

When you look inside yourself Would you wish that I was near? Or would you wish that I was by your side? When the stars have all come out Will the horizon still be clear? Or will you look at me through clouded skies? when you look inside yourself Would you wish that I was near? Or would you wish that I was by your side? When the stars have all come out Will the horizon still be clear? Or will you look at me through clouded skies?

Yeah, oh yeah...

Dancin' In The Trees

Runnin' to the tower above the mountain Let it all out in one loud scream No one is around to hear your call Just the sound of your voice echoing As the silence starts to surround you With the feelin' of the breeze, yea Well you take it all in just for a moment And you dance among the trees

I'm travelin' to an unknown place, yea Makin' stops to ease my mind I gotta see, gotta be, gotta live this life, yea One simple step at a time I taste the sunshine of your lips, yea And you know that I've been freed I throw those problems right out the window Oh, and together we'll be dancin' in the trees

So you breathe a sigh of relief Cause now is the time to fly Will you fix your eyes on that sea of powder? And you kiss the clouds goodbye I wanna make this run last forever I could'nt make this run any better Don't wanna hear about any changes in the weather Our waves are right, they're breakin' left and right Now free from gravity, gets you light as a feather

I'm travelin' to an unknown place, yea Makin' stops to ease my mind I gotta see, gotta be, gotta live this life, yea One simple step at a time I taste the sunshine of your lips, yea And you know that I've been freed I throw those problems right out the window Oh, and together we'll be dancin' in the trees, yea

I know you can't stand to hear about it This feelin', I can't live without it It takes me to a place that's free I said it takes me to a place that's free I said it takes me to a place that's free

I'm travelin' to an unknown place, yea Makin' stops to ease my mind I gotta see, gotta be, gotta live this life, yea One simple step at a time I taste the sunshine of your lips, yea And you know that I've been freed I'll throw those problems right out the window Oh, and together we'll be dancin' in the trees

Kaiya

Well the days of rain Gave birth to a gnome Well his heart beats strong and his eye shown blue Many of the heavens, he learned of truth Let the earth be your walls, let the stars be your roof Well his love fell on a girl With hair dark as night sky, "My life," he said to her "Belongs to you", then he rode on the wind And returned the next day as he neared Well the village, rose smoke, it billowed grey

On his knees cried, "You've taken from me My will to go on is no more, lay my love to the ground For no other can be found that could fill my heart such as her Kaiya, Kaiya, I'll push on 'til the day when I lay next to you once again Kaiya, Kaiya, when I find the other man let my arrows take them to the same man"

So he rode for the shores As the tears filled his eyes Oh the clouds opened up And the rain filled the skies The men of the horizon Well they promised for peace But all they spoke of were lies, lies and dicete Well as he came to the fortress His arrows did fly, he feels justice was awarded But his fury will not subside But though his wounds were of many They would not weigh him down For no wound proved greater than his love that he layed to the ground

On his knees cried, "You've taken from me My will to go on is no more, lay my love to the ground For no other can be found that could fill my heart such as her Kaiya, Kaiya, I'll push on 'til the day when I lay next to you once again Kaiya, Kaiya, when I find the other man let my arrows take them to the same man"

So he waded through the waters Let the tide take him away He prayed to be united with his love, Kaiya But the winds began to whisper And the waves, they did crash All that was left behind, were these echoes of the past For what was once then Is now no more Memories of freedom, now buried below

On his knees cried, "You've taken from me My will to go on is no more, lay my love to the ground For no other can be found that could fill my heart such as her Kaiya, Kaiya, I'll push on 'til the day when I lay next to you once again Kaiya, Kaiya, when I find the other man let my arrows take them to the same man Kaiya, Kaiya, I'll push on 'til the day when I lay next to you once again Kaiya, Kaiya, when I find the other man let my arrows take them to the same man Oh Kaiya, Oh woah..."

Red

On a late Tuesday afternoon The sun shone grey in the Massachusetts sky Red walked into his living room Found his mother with a tear in her eye Times have changed, or so it seemed Boys became men at the age of seventeen Red was one of those, oh you know What choice did they have other than to go?

So they went one by one They found no comfort from that Vietnam sun They wiped the sweat and blood from their face And all they wondered when to find their saving grace Each and every day you know they watched their brothers fall They drink heavy at night and try to forget it all Didn't know if they would rather be alive or dead? Oh this is the story of a man named Red

Telling tales of darkness No legless man is harmless Heartlessly described by a gun Oh I can smell the gunpowder The quiet cries getting louder All this pain echoes in his head This is the story of a man named Red

He walks the streets alone now He can't quite understand how He was the one to make it home He came out just as he went in Oh no, no, no if you could only see within He lies awake and looks at his wife Motionless and helpless She has never felt this so but she knows what it's like Living with these emotions each and every day he still hears the orders calling calling, "Fire away!"

Yeah, yeah, no..

Taken by the government yeah, no One by one they went But they didnt come back Well I'm telling tales of darkness No legless man is harmless Heartlessly described by a gun Oh I can smell the gunpowder The quiet cries getting louder All this pain echoes in his head This is the story of a man named Red

The story of a man named Red

Well they couldn't have resisted I guess the government insisted, yea That their new best friends, oh that their new friends Should die in their arms, die in their arms, yea Oh no

Shoom

I got shoom
