Rise & Shine

it is all around you but you cannot seem to find
the question drives you crazy a splinter in your mind
and you can feel it closing in around you
and you can feel it in what they say to do
and you can feel it when you get in line
and when you go to school
and you can feel it when you pay your tax
and you can feel it when you try to dance (in the park)
and you can feel their eyes upon you
feel their eyes upon you
we have got to rise, rise and shine
rise above and draw the line
we have got to rise, rise and shine
rise above it is a sign
if someone told you the answers to why
would you believe it or say it is a lie
and you can feel it closing in around you
and you can feel it in what they say to do
and you can feel it when you get in line
and when you go to school
and you can feel it when you pay your tax
and you can feel it when you try to dance (in the park)
and you can feel their eyes upon you
feel their eyes upon you
we have got to rise, rise and shine
rise above and draw the line
we have got to rise, rise and shine
rise above it is a sign
wanna see the face that rule the space
inside the place won't see the face
just a mask so don't ask
cause you don't know where you won't go
reap what you sow, yeah don't it blow
the place they got is full of rot
and you got caught more than a lot
in the deception, lack of perception
can't see the connection, so full of erection
the papers not real, but you made a deal
they make a meal, their way to steal
as they poison the air
poison the water
poison the ocean
poison the fooD
poison the streams
poison the medicine
poison the rain
cause they're fucking insane
we have got to rise, rise and shine
rise above and draw the line
we have got to rise, rise and shine
rise above it is a sign

You Take My Breath Away
03:27
|
|||
|
wait just a moment, you're going to fast
I want it all, I want it to last
there's no reflection, nothing at all
all you want is, someone to call
and you break, you break down
the tears you cry are the price you pay
you break, you break down
and this is my promise to you
a graceless beauty, that never waits
first you fade, and then you break
I've got the questions, you got the needs
and this is my promise, you get what you see
and you break, you break down
the tears you cry, are the price you pay
you break, you break down
and all the while you take my breath away
you take my breath away
what do you see, when you turn off the lights
I want to see it in your eyes
just give me one chance, one's all I need
is it you you love, or is it mE
and you break, you break down
the tears you cry are the price you pay
you break, you break down
and all the while you take my breath away
you take my breath away, you take my breath away

She's Your Lover Now
03:59

save me from the rain
I'm here and there, now I'm back again
take me to the river
lead me to the edge
Put me in the water, now this is the end
no matter what I do
no matter what I do
she's your lover now
she's your lover now
pick me up all broken
from the middle of the road
Everything is spinning, senses set to overload
Got a cold cold shiver
I'm falling to my knees
She just turned away, and then she said to me
no matter what you do
no matter what you do
she's your lover now
she's your lover now
sometimes I need a lover
but now I need a friend
to lead me through the darkness
and bring me back again
oh no she's your lover now
she's your lover now
she's your lover now
she's your lover now
she's your lover now

Call To Reason
04:20
|
|||
|
with brand new telescopes
peering into outer space
in the spectrum of the radio
the truth fell into place
and everything we thought we knew
was suddenly a joke
and those who had the most to lose
hid the truth with mirrors and with smoke
it's all a reflection/ of what has come to be
the truth is out there somewhere
it's up to you to see
this is my call, call to reason
this is my call, call to reason
the universe electrified
sparks the sun so bright
with currents from the center sun
in a field of love and of light
this is my call, call to reason/ this is my call, call to reason
I'll tell you now so you'll know
there is a plan a great big show
a fake attack from outer space
to kill off half the human race
make a call for total war
like september once before
and you'll accept a police state
so be wise before it's too late
listen to me now, listen to me now
and visitors are here right now
from distant galaxies
for soon we will be ready
to welcome them in peace
this is my call, call to reason
this is my call, call to reason
it's happened all before, what is the killing for?
it's happened all before, what is the killing for?

Big Fish
03:26

I got the big fish, I caught the biggest fish
I got the big fish, biggest fish around now
I got it and it was all mine
I caught it with my fishing line
it is 200 pound test
my bait and tackle are the best
my bait and tackle are the best, and that's why
I got the big fish, I caught the biggest fish
I got the big fish, biggest fish around now
I got it without even trying
I tell you man I ain't lying
I played it for an hour or three
it was a big sight to see
a really big sight to see, and that is why
I got the big fish, I caught the biggest fish
I got the big fish, biggest fish around
a fisherman needs a home
a place to rest his weary bones
hang up his rod and pole
a break from that fishing hole
and watch the sun go down
just watch the sun go down
I caught her and I put her back
in the oceans there is a lack
of the living things that used to be
I would rather see her swimming free
I would rather see her swimming free, yea let it be
I got the big fish, I caught the biggest fish
I got the big fish, biggest fish around

Here I Am
03:32

You better brace for what is coming
It's gonna blow you away
I wouldn't waste another second
No time to get away
And all this that you think is real
Will melt into the past
To be totally forgotten
Cause nothing's meant to last
Way out past the reason
Lies a meadow made of gold
And that is where 'll meet you now
Before we get too old
Here I am, I'm much better than before
Here I am, and I'm coming back for more
Here I am, like a thief come in the night
Here I am, and I'm gonna make it right
The waters are arising
Here comes a giant wave
could be the final warning
Stop acting like a slave
It is this crazy system
That's got you on your knees
The pigs will smash your head in
While you're begging please
I feel my heart is breaking
We tremble while we're shaking
My senses are now aching
Here's what to do. We've got to move
and get out get out, get right out of here.

Sweet As Honey
03:30
|
|||
|
I don't like sweet candy I like savory
Thai food or sushi both sound good to me
I like to eat mangoes with peaches and cream
a good bowl of laksa an taste like a dream
there's so many flavors and foods that delight
they tickle my taste buds and are out of sight
but there is one flavor better than the rest
I eat it quite often cause it is the best
you are as sweet as honey, you are so fine
you are as sweet as honey, gonna make you all mine
you are as sweet as honey, every night
you are as sweet as honey, just gotta take a bite
your curves are delicious you've got style and grace
cheery red lipstick that highlights your face
demur and seductive but never too much
you're driving me crazy the scent of your touch
it's a cosmic reaction total satisfaction
the flavor of love that comes from above
I drink of your nectar I'm filled with delight
there's only this moment so let's get it right
you are as sweet as honey, you are so fine
you are as sweet as honey, gonna make you all mine
you are as sweet as honey, every night
you are as sweet as honey, just gotta take a bite
value comes with madness so let's disappear
there's love beneath the sorrow you've got nothing to fear
a thousand new disguises you're infinite and sweet
and when I taste you on my lips you are my only treat
like the moon that's in the sky<br/> your wings they lift me up
fire burns me up inside<br/> and fills your sacred cup
you might be offended by these words I've said
but it's an age old attraction from all that I've read
it's part of the play and part of the fun
if you haven't tried it it's time you begun
you are as sweet as honey, you are so fine
you are as sweet as honey, gonna make you all mine
you are as sweet as honey, every night
you are as sweet as honey, just gotta take a bite

This Too Will Pass
04:33
|
|||
|
hold on to your dream
when your path has gone astray
truth lies in your heart
tomorrow's another day
you need to let go
of the things that cause you pain
sometimes we all get weary
sometimes it's gotta rain
when it's all gone wrong and fallen apart
it's not what you get but what you give from the heart and remember
this too, this too will pass
finally at last this too, this too will pass
when sorrow has got you down
all the madness that you see
is a world gone crazy
what will be is what will be
when it seems there is no meaning
you are a million miles away
you are all that you need
so say what you want to say
when you feel alone in your darkest hour
stand up and choose your power and remember
this too, this too will pass
finally at last this too, this too will pass

tell you exactly what I believe
I'll shake your hand there's nothing up my sleeve
the one is all and the all is one
what does it matter when we're said and done
I know heaven and I think I'll find
A little piece of it in my mind
when I open it then I'll see
a part of you deep inside of me
what I give is what I get
so I've noticed yeah you bet
I am a ripple a wave of light
as the day follows night
tears of laughter tears of joy
for every girl and every boy
there will be tears of laughter tears of joy
and I feel it building inside
yeah I feel it building inside
as the day follows night
there is no darkness in the light
nothing is good and nothing is bad
experience is all we have
all we have is in our heads
a hologram or so they've said
when all of this is said and done
all things pass and bleed into one
what I give is what I get
so I've noticed yeah you bet
I am a ripple a wave of light
as the day follows night
tears of laughter tears of joy
for every girl and every boy
there will be tears of laughter tears of joy
and I feel it building inside
yeah I feel it building inside
well as we move along and time splits in two
you might just stop to question all you thought was true
is that really all you want is that really all you need
who gave you that idea and when did they plant that seed
tears of laughter tears of joy
for every girl and every boy
there will be tears of laughter tears of joy
and I feel it building inside
yeah I feel it building inside

Infinite Sea
04:23
|
|||
|
a feeling I am in awe, I look into your eyes
you know just how to hypnotize
I am inside you, and you are inside me
come and take my hand, and we will have ecstasy
I will never go away, there is nothing that I fear
you never have to be alone
come and hold me close, and feel the way I feel
come and fly away, let us explore the surreal
we'll be drowning in an infinite sea
an infinite sea of love
we'll be drowning in an infinite sea
an infinite sea of love
I like our lips to touch, I like the way you feel
I like the kisses that I steal
when our bodies touch, i know that you are mine
everything is love, and everything is fine
we'll be drowning in an infinite sea
an infinite sea of love
we'll be drowning in an infinite sea
an infinite sea of love
and I get high on you
and I get high on you
a feeling I am in awe, I look into your eyes
you know just how to hypnotize
I am inside you, and you are inside me
come and take my hand, and we will have ecstasy
we'll be drowning in an infinite sea
an infinite sea of love
we'll be drowning in an infinite sea
an infinite sea of love
and I get high on you
and I get high on you
