VERSE 1
Going nowhere soon, Swiss-cheese like the moon,
taking time to think, sitting at the brink, no-one on the other link.
Finding gold it seems, in a rush, a rush to dream,
take no time to breath, find those insatiable needs.
Who calls themselves a friend? Rationalize the end,
the lies we share show us we care, we need this war, so be prepared for...
VERSE 2
for what they call reality, just another mindless decree,
sulfur dioxide in the breeze, just take out some time to breath.
Find another way to please, this insatiable need,
no need to flea, follow decrees, just take out the time, the time to breath.
Finding gold it seems, an insatiable dream,
rationalize the end find a friend, just take out the time, the time to mend.
VERSE 3
Take time to think, wash it down the sink,
in the end their'll be no need, no need, to take time, take time, take time, take time to breath. Just take time, take time to breath.
VERSE 4
Take time to breath, in the end we will concede,
in the end, there will be no need.

VERSE 1
Say what time it is, Say what line it ain't,
Say it to be true, or say it to be quaint.
CHORUS 1
Breaking apart, right from the very start.
Breaking down the parts, to find strawberry tarts.
VERSE 2
Take a trip to nowhere, breath strange air,
play a little show there, show them that you care.
Forget that you are living, by the tick, tick, tickedy clock,
desire to keep going, with a willingness to stop.
CHORUS 2
Breaking apart, right from the very start.
Breaking down the parts, to find strawberry tarts.
Play just the right part, to touch somebodies heart.
Somehow all these parts, could have been a work of art.
CHORUS 3
Break it all apart, right from the very start.
Breaking down the parts, to find strawberry tarts.
Play just the right parts, to reach our and touch somebodies heart.
Somehow all these parts, could have been a work of art.
VERSE 3
Try and find a home now, with no place to go,
it is not what's in the show, it's just what you know.
Home is where the heart is, find love for all around,
look everywhere now, my homes they abound.
CHORUS 4
Breaking apart, right from the very start.
Breaking down the parts, to find strawberry tarts.
Play just the right parts, to touch somebodies heart.
Somehow all these parts, should have been a work of art.

Island

VERSE 1
I'm on an island, I see ghosts of myself,
someone I thought that I knew, but now I am seeing ghosts of you.
Here on this island, a feeling that it is true,
to be my own island, I must find solitude.
On an island, this tide is coming in,
here on this island, pretty soon I'll have to swim.
On the island, running round in one place,
stuck on this island, my footsteps I retrace.
CHORUS 1
Once I thought I'd be with you, but now I know that time is though,
I tossed away that blessed day, this path I quickly loose,
but now I know you're so far away, I find my words too late to say,
I know that I love you.
VERSE 2
I'm on an island, the tide is coming in,
here on this island, pretty soon I'll have to swim.
Stuck on the island, running round in one place,
here on this island my footsteps I retrace.
CHORUS 2
Once I thought I'd be with you, but now I know that time is though,
I tossed away that blessed day, this path I quickly loose.
'Cause now I know you're so far away, I find my words too late to say,
I know that I love you.
VERSE 3
I'm on an island, I'm standing steady in the wind,
here on this island, this ocean is my friend.
On the island, today I comprehend,
that on this island, my will has to bend.
On the island, I see ghosts of myself,
someone that I thought that I knew, but now I am seeing ghosts of you.
Here on this island, there is a feeling that I know is true,
to be my own island, I found my solitude.
CHORUS 3
Once I thought I'd be with you, but now I know that time is though,
I tossed away that blessed day, this path I quickly loose.
Now I know you're so far away, I find my words too late to say,
I know that I love you. I'm on an island, to stay.

VERSE 1
My dog bit the mailman again today
He thought this was quite intolerable
Gave me this fine which I must now pay
Have some more bills, settle down.
Find a good job, settle down.
Get back in line do just what they say
Find a good wife, settle down.
Have it your way…
CHORUS 1
(I’m gonna) Bust out of this cage, that I’m livin’ in,
(I’m gonna) Free my inner rage, (I'll) find some peace within,
(I’m gonna) Bust out of this cage, I think I’m gonna find,
Just another cage. (Hugh)
VERSE 2
Get up shave my face, and go to work again
Coffee on brunch, I'll have lunch out today
Slave for forty years to pay the mortgage
Work up that chain, settle down.
Find a good life, settle down.
Get back in line and do just what they say
Find a good wife, and settle down.
Have it your way…
CHORUS 2
(I’m gonna) Bust out of this cage, that I’m livin’ in,
(I’m gonna) Free my inner rage, (I'll) find some peace within,
(I’m gonna) Bust out of this cage, I think I’m gonna find,
Just another cage. (Hugh)
VERSE 3
Do the homework, the constitution
There we find a dream, called freedom
Watch your dirty mouth, they are listening
Careful what you think, settle down.
Find a good life (job), settle down.
Get back in line and do just what they say
Find a good life, and settle down.
Have it your way…
CHORUS 3
(I’m gonna) Bust out of this cage, that I’m livin’ in,
(I’m gonna) Free my inner rage, (I'll) find some peace within,
(I’m gonna) Bust out of this cage, I think I’m gonna find,
Just another cage. (Hugh)

Home Soon

VERSE 1
In a relative way we'll have more time to play, fidelity brings us the news,
and we will see all the colors that shine, vibrantly in the moon.
So, pick up some sand as it hours though the glass, relentlessly on the move,
and tell them again and again and again, maybe we'll be home soon.
VERSE 2
We graze on the news, have a limited view, only accept what is brand new,
and then throw out the ice for a bigger better slice, reversing the meaning of true.
And day after day in a relative way, spend more time sleeping 'till two,
going up, going down, going all around, I swear we'll be home soon.
VERSE 3
We're moving along at the speed of a song, acting as if not confused,
the church bells ring and we flock to the scene, only to sit in a pew.
Turn the tube on, view it all night long, find the ideals of a few,
trying to discover today's prize, I fear we'll be home soon.
VERSE 4
In a relative way we'll have more time to play, fidelity brings us the news,
and we will see all the colors that shine, vibrantly in the moon.
So, pick up some sand as it hours though the glass, relentlessly on the move,
and tell them again and again and again, maybe we'll be home soon.
Maybe, we'll be home soon.

THEME A
Quiver with desire set the place on fire, Quiver with desire set the place on fire,
Quiver with desire your there's no need to acquire, Quiver with desire your so hot I'm on fire.
VERSE 1
Send me to hell with that heavenly stare, you'll be the one to show me how I can care,
just trapped beneath this fluorescent glare, those lips quiver with a desperate air.
Come over here and hold my hand, I'll take you to the promise land,
There's just some things that you should understand, I'm not your lover I'm a one night stand.

INSTRUMENTAL
Quiver desire the place is on fire, Quiver desire the place is on fire,
Quiver desire this place is on fire, Quiver desire
VERSE 2
Somehow my dear you kept me through the night, you found a way to clip my wings from flight,
Snapped from my dreams found it was already light, somehow I awaken when I lost my might.
I focus through the clouds try to regain my sight, love so thick I search for the will to fight,
Somehow you found my Kryptonite, what can I do can I make it out alright?
THEME A
Quiver with desire set the place on fire, Quiver with desire set the place on fire,
Quiver with desire your there's no need to acquire, Quiver with desire your so hot I'm on fire.

Just some things that we must understand, I'm not your lover I'm a one night stand.
Come over here and hold my hand, I'll take you to the promise land.
Hold me tight but please understand, I only go where the wind commands.
THEME A
Quiver with desire set the place on fire, Quiver with desire set the place on fire,
Quiver with desire your there's no need to acquire, Quiver with desire your so hot I'm on fire.
THEME A'
Quiver with desire set the place on fire, Quiver with desire there's no need to acquire,

VERSE 1
I'd like, to find a girl with kindness in her heart,
who loves to laugh, has a dream in her eye,
who wants to see the world, one stage at a time,
and doesn't mind sitting in traffic.
Footloose and fancy free, even when too poor to eat,
and never, oh she never, admits to defeat.
CHORUS 1
Oh universe please give me a sign, universe please direct me,
oh universe I know I am now ready, to know what makes me sublime.
VERSE 2
I'd like to find a girl, who loves to wear her clothes,
but only, when we, are in public
I'd like to find a girl who sings just like a bird,
and one who, preferably is a drummer.
CHORUS 2
Oh universe please give me a sign, universe please direct me,
oh universe I know I am now ready, I know, it's a matter, of time.
VERSE 3
I will find this girl, we'll keep each other warm,
encourage each other, too always feel at home.
Let's laugh and let's play, we'll love all the way,
stand tall and let time take it's worst.
CHORUS 3
Oh universe please give me a sign, universe please direct me,
oh universe I know I am now ready, to know what makes me sublime.
EXTRO
Above all of this, I will shorten the list,
just a simple girl, who loves me and will be, my best friend.

CHORUS A G D A
I wanna get back, I won't sit back, Until I get back home with you
From dusk till dawn, goin' all night long, singin' you’re love song
VERSE 1
I wake up every morning, To see a brand new day.
Let’s go have some coffee, Was your favorite thing to say.
I pick up your old T-shirt, and feel it with my nose.
There has to be a reason, You look so damn good in those clothes.
CHORUS
CHORUS (Lead)
VERSE 2
I keep findin' reasons, To enjoy every day.
You listen to the seasons, They say go out and play.
Hear flirtin' with you memories, Leaves me in an awkward space.
Livin' loves artillery, So that you can win the race.
CHORUS
CHORUS (sing along)
VERSE 3
I come home every evenin', Just to see that look upon your face.
If you were still hear breathing, Then I'd be at home in this place.
I am standing on my toes now, Even though I'm on your case.
If we can not reach from here love, Then let us pick up the pace.
And let's stop wasting space.

Apron
02:46
|

|
VERSE 1
She came into my life, she treated me really nice,
She offered me some tea, and then made sweet love to me.
And then just like the ice, she melted with strife,
She left me that day, and all that I could say… (was)
CHORUS 1
Don't steal my apron, baby can't you see,
That when I need, the flower gets on me.
So don't steal my apron, it starts as a seed,
But when it’s all ground up that flower sticks to me.
VERSE 2
She was all dressed up, and ready to go,
Could this be true, was it really so.
From this distance my eyes may play tricks on me,
Is that really my apron that I see.
Strung right over that black leather studded coat,
Hung like the prize won at a kissing match.
So I sneak up behind, and I snatch it back,
And say as I started to flee…
CHORUS 2
Don't steal my apron, baby can't you see,
That when I need, the flower gets on me.
So don't steal my apron, it starts as a seed,
But when it’s all ground up that flower sticks to me.
CHORUS 3
Don't steal my apron, baby if you leave,
Then I will need, the flower with the yeast.
Don't steal my apron, it starts as a seed,
but when it’s all ground up, that flower sticks to me.
(Ya) When I need, That flower gets on me…
(hayaw)

INTRO – PRE-CHORUS
As clear as the waterfall, falling down, creating fog.
As clear as the broken glass, through which we used to smoke the grass.
As clear as the wishing well, encapsulates the dreams that fell.
As clear as the path we take, and now it's time for me, to...
CHORUS 1
Climb 4000 feet to a mountaintop,
drink all night stumble down the block.
No thousands running round and round to shop,
round and round in circles around the block.
I need some fresh air for my head,
I really can not work here till I'm dead.
Over for me is over for you,
I've got to leave this place our time is through.
VERSE 1
Cause when I travel round, I hear that new sound.
Invigorate, reiterate, there's no need to complicate.
The road we found, brings us around, to this same place, we will relate.
The common ground, thus now is found, all in time, now we must wait.
PRE-CHORUS (Inst)
CHORUS 2
Climb 4000 feet to a mountaintop,
drink all night stumble down the block.
No thousands running round and round to shop,
round and round in circles around the block.
I need some fresh air for my head,
I really can not work here till I'm dead.
Over for me is over for you,
I've got to leave this place our time is through.
VERSE 2
Cause when I see the new place, I must stop and retrace.
From whence I came, it looks the same, complacency would be a shame.
Take time to think, so as not to sink, endless pose here at the brink.
Motivate and concentrate, should we share in the same fate?
PRE-CHORUS
As clear as the waterfall, falling down, creating fog.
As clear as the broken glass, through which we used to view the mass.
As clear as the wishing well, encapsulates the dreams that fell.
As clear as the path we take, now it's time for me, to...
CHORUS 3
Climb 4000 feet to a mountaintop,
drink all night stumble down the block.
No thousands running round and round to shop,
round and round in circles around the block.
I need some fresh air for my head,
I really can not work here till I'm dead.
Over for me is over for you,
I've got to leave this place our time is through.
VERSE 3
Cause when we gather round, will there be awkwardness, from space.
Won't we still see, eye to eye, harmonious spirits intertwined.
The mind delays, from day to day, There's still room to invigorate.
Succeed, no need to compromise, harmonious spirits intertwined.
Extro
We will find, true friendship, lasts 'till the end.
