when we hopped that train last night
well you know, I think I fell in love
when that bird sang its morning song
well we knew, we had said enough
'cause words can only say so much
and you told me so much more with your touch
when we ate scraps down back-alley
well you know, I saw you knew your stuff
when the man came, kicked us out
well we knew, he had said enough
'cause words can only say so much
and you told me so much more with your touch
you hopped that train-
rode outta my sight
you didn't have the words
no, you didn't wanna fight
it's been days since I heard your voice
and you know, you've got a certain style
I could take off, leave this town
but you know, I think I'll wait a while
'cause words can only say so much
and you told me so much more with your touch

I was feeling like a million bucks
with my lady on my shoulder in a pick-up truck
luck had stung me like a sweet angel's kiss
thinking to myself it don't get better than this
why do you try to put me down
when the world's helping you turn that life around
I'm a sucker for a good time
I'll spark a doobie with a mouth full of mountain wine
out on the corner countin' make-believe stars
feeling the jive rhythm bluesy guitar
why do you try to put me down
when the world's helping you turn that life around
don't take it form me
you teach yourself, you see
well a crash-course burns
yeah, in time you'll learn
but don't take it from me
you choose yourself you see
well a crash-course burns
yeah, in time you'll learn
why do you try to put me down
when the world's helping you turn that life around
while sounds ring souls on fire
you never feel like a puppet on a fish-wire
just a drifter in a wavering plot
luck seeping at the tip of every fresh thought
why do you try to put me down
when the world's helping you turn that life around
why do you try to put me down?

A Change Up
03:35
|
|||
I'm on the road and I'm heading to the west coast
no time for goodbyes or farewell toast
the people here bring me down
so I'm packing my bags and heading out of town
you gotta chase what feels right
or it'll keep you up all night
you gotta chase what feels right
or dreams'll drift out of sight
'aint no one keeping me strapped in tight
nomadic souls, they march under the moonlight
making their way to who-knows-where
but they stack the blocks and walk the stairs
you gotta chase what feels right
or it'll keep you up all night
you gotta chase what feels right
or dreams'll drift out of sight
well once and a while
the style gets old
frustrations pile up
left-overs get cold
the good new is...
you can intervene
scrub the screen and come out clean!
you gotta chase what feels right
or it'll keep you up all night
you gotta chase what feels right
or dreams'll drift out of sight

Need a Bit of Spacetime
02:20
|

need a little bit of time
working for the man these days
man I don't know
need a little bit of space
stuck inside a frame
that's grey and so old
oh-oh-oh-oh
take a little bit of time
I know it can drag down;
leave you so cold
take a little bit of space
it's so hard to face
what's being sold
oh-oh-oh-oh
superman ain't showing up
and you know it, you know it
you were raised by greedy hands
and you show it- you show it!
oh-oh-oh-oh
need a little bit of time
working for the man these days
man I don't know
need a little bit of space
it's so hard to face
what's being sold
oh, oh, oh

Venus

I'm going to Venus
I miss her, so lead us
the rock stage-coach can
in minutes deliver
planet hoppin' to love
one-way time-train
voyage above
I'l be planet hoppin' to you
we'll be together by the afternoon
the countdown commences
to cosmic romances
satellite worm-hole can
diminish the distance
planet hoppin' to love
one-way time-train
voyage above
I'l be planet hoppin' to you
we'll be together by the afternoon
if you were there, I'd fly to Uranus
the sun-beams warm atmospheres between us
whatever world you happen to discover
count me in on you space-trip lover
planet hoppin' to love
one-way time-train
voyage above
I'l be planet hoppin' to you
we'll be together by the afternoon

Pluto

Pluto, poor Pluto
your orbit is much too vast
Pluto, poor Pluto
you were downgraded much too fast
you're a dwarf planet now
and covered with a mantle of ice
Pluto, poor Pluto
you're too far out of sight
Pluto, poor Pluto
can't see ya in the dark of night
you're a dwarf planet now
and covered with a mantle of ice
it could be worse
you could be like Sedna-
frozen and alone at the cusp
you're ten billion kilometres away
I bet you never heard of us
Pluto, poor Pluto
you're feeling those Plutonic blues

Far Out
03:12
|

some far out business
you're talkin' 'bout there
some outer-space man
coming down from thin air
you say there's more
cosmic companion
please tell me what those
hooded aliens are plannin'
sellin' it on the news
they're coming
moon-taser afternoon
they're coming
impenetrable balloon
they're coming
and I always thought that we were alone
some far out stories
you're telling alright
a UFO
touching down in the night
you say it brought
O2 suckin' cannons
all for the colonies
popping up in grand canyon
sellin' it on the news
they're coming
moontaser afternoon
they're coming
impenetrable balloon
they're coming
and I always thought that we were alone
they've got green eyes
come from the skies
they'll eat our brains
and take our rockets supplies
they're multiplying
there's no use hiding
the human zoom
population is rising
sellin' it on the news
they're coming
moontaser afternoon
they're coming
impenetrable balloon
they're coming
and I always thought that we were alone

Starlight
03:30
|

starlight shines so bright
in the diamond of your eyes
heartache slips away
as I take off my disguise
teach me the secrets
that are locked up in the skies
your love carried me
to a place that's so divine
only love can bring tomorrow
only light can tame the shadow
cool breeze pushes me
to the edge of my design
my armour melted off
as you put your hand in mind
teach me the waterways
of the secrets worlds you find
your love brings me hope
in the wake of my demise
only love can bring tomorrow
only light can tame the shadow
cosmic love pours down from the sky
if you let go, you'll feel what it's like
inner landscapes erupt with life
you should give it a try
only love can bring tomorrow
only light can tame the shadow

Quiet Moments
04:54
|
|||
when the winter dries up
say to me:
let's go fishing' down by the factory
where the quiet moments tell us
it'll be alright
when spring has sprung
say to me:
let's go dance down by the crystal pond
where the quiet moments tell us
it'll be alright
hold on
take a bit of time
there's a wisdom that's been waiting on you
hold on
still a bit of time to ride that subtle tide
when all's been said
say to me:
let's take in silent serenity
where the quiet moments tell us
it'll be alright
hold on
take a bit of time
there's a wisdom that's been waiting on you
hold on
still a bit of time to ride that subtle tide
the things we grasp
they come to pass
labyrinth ways and greener grass
reflecting all back to you
in the deepest afterthoughts
we find the things we have forgot
that seep back into view
when the hour is up
say to me:
let's go back to the way it ought to be
where the quiet moments tell us
it'll be alright
hold on
take a bit of time
there's a wisdom that's been waiting on you
hold on
still a bit of time to ride that subtle tide
