1. THE VALIANT DENIAL

You've been misled
By the thoughts in your head
Entangled with your dark endeavor
Your angels tread
And the blood has been shed
I'm telling you it's now or never

Lost in a stream
With you own malady
For as long as you know
And forever
In god you depend
When it comes to the end
Such a long way to go
Such a long way to go

The valiant denial
The great untold
The valiant denial
The lies unfold
The valiant denial
The great untold

I wonder why
And you never reply
It's always the same with your ego
Caught in a lie
I just cannot rely
You're filled with the shame
But you don't know

You raise the shield
You will never be healed
Such a long way to go
Such a long way to go

The valiant denial
The great untold
The valiant denial
The lies unfold
The valiant denial
The great untold

The valiant denial


2. STEPPIN' ON

Load it up now hear the gun
Ain't got time waiting for the sun
I gotta generator
I need a little funk to go

Load it up now make it real
Somebody gotta take the wheel
I need a regulator
I like a little rodeo

I confess, I tell you yes
And it's a bust

Find me an hourglass
Burn the flame, gonna make it last
I gotta a movin' violation
You kill me now, you got to know

I confess, I tell you yes, and it's a bust
I'm insane, I feel no pain

Forgiven, I'm livin', I'm driven
I got a lone vision, precision, decision
So make it go faster, I gotta, outlast ya
I'm a low-rider, beside ya
I'm steppin' on

I tell you every detail
Won't you let the sucker derail
Cuz the music's my religion
I need a new place to dwell

Gotta find me an hourglass
Burn the flame, gonna make it last
Gotta a movin' violation
You kill me now, you got to know

I confess, I tell you yes, and it's a bust
I'm insane, I feel no pain

Forgiven, I'm livin', I'm driven
I got a lone vision, precision, decision
So make it go faster, I gotta outlast ya
I'm a low-rider beside ya
I'm steppin' on


3. MONKEY MAN

I don't, really want to suffer
Earthquake, in the engine room
You scream, you don't get enough a
I shake, when you pack the boom

You don't relay
You don't accept
You will be swept away
I won't delay
I only want to say

I'll tell you something for nothin'
I'm not your monkey man
Now I'm gonna send you a letter
Cuz I'm not your monkey man

It's so real
it's so real
it's so real

Glad rags, you have got me thinking
You creep behind my back
My bags have been packed, I'm swearin'
I reap, just what you lack

I won't delay
I only want to say

I'll tell you something for nothin'
I'm not your monkey man
Now I'm gonna write you a letter
Cuz I'm not your monkey man

It's for real
It's for real
it's for real

You don't relay
You don't accept
You will be swept away
I won't delay
I only want to say

I'll tell you something for nothin'
I'm not your monkey man
Now I'm gonna send you a letter
Cuz I'm not your monkey man

I'll tell you something for nothin'
I'm not your monkey man
Now I'm gonna write you a letter
Cuz I'm not your monkey man

It's for real
It's for real
it's for real


4. THIS HOUSE

I'll keep the present that you bring
You know it's part of everything
Your perfume lingers in the air

There is nothing left to do
You know it's me, I know it's you

You are the ghost in every room
You always take away the gloom
You are no ordinary friend

There is nothing left to do
You know it's me, I know it's you

I'll sacrifice myself
Now don't you go away

This house
Has never known the sadness
And it's,
This house
It doesn't hold a secret
Anymore
It was built on love

I'll bring a rose and juniper
We'll float away across the earth
High on a cloud we live as one

There is nothing left to do
You know it's me, I know it's you

This house
Has never known the sadness
And it's,
This house
It doesn't hold a secret
Anymore
It was built on love

I'm wondering why
I wanna see your face
Cuz I can't take it anymore

We're lost in a time
And it's so hard to fake it
Will you open up the door?
This house
Has never known the sadness
And it's,
This house

This house
Has never known the sadness
And it's,
This house
It doesn't hold a secret

And it's,
This house
It doesn't hold a secret
Anymore
It was built on love


5. YOU GOT SOUL

Down in Saint Jude's hall, you star in a play
You're ready to free fall, the children do say
Euphoric recall will take you away

Underneath your skin

I know that you travel, on your astral plane
The deepest respect, can your hear my refrain
So nice to meet you, when I was in Spain

Underneath my skin
Here it comes again

Say yeah, yeah yeah

You got soul
You got soul

You ain't done nothin' wrong
The flesh is weak, but the spirit is strong

You got soul
You got soul

I knew it all along
Your eyes do speak, when I sing my song

The Dalai Lama do whisper and say
Deep in your karma the demon you slay
You be the one and you blow me away

Underneath my skin
Here it comes again

Say yeah, yeah yeah

You got soul
You got soul

You ain't done nothin' wrong
The flesh is weak, but the spirit is strong

You got soul
You got soul

I knew it all along
Your eyes do speak, when I sing my song

Underneath my skin
Here it comes again

Say yeah, yeah yeah

You got soul
You got soul

You ain't done nothin' wrong
The flesh is weak, but the spirit is strong

You got soul
You got soul

I knew it all along
Your eyes do speak, when I sing my song


6. FRAIL

She sits alone in the hall
And soon she'll climb the stairs
To her room, she's so lonely
With sadness and despair
She can hear the static

Vast is the canvas, she painted
To justify the cause, of her life
In her childhood
She barely spoke a word
She was so dramatic

She's leavin' the world of the livin'
She's so frail
God only knows she's been given
She's so frail

And you know she's going back
To a place she calls home

Frozen in time, there's a picture
That stands upon a shelf
And the fire's last ember
It burns in silent grace, for a new tomorrow

Leavin' the world of the livin'
She's so frail
God only knows she's been given
She's so frail
And you know she's going back
To a place she calls home

Lost in a dream, there's a window
Of opportunity
Soon she'll join all her loved ones
That wait behind the door
Take away the sorrow

She's leavin' the world of the livin'
She's so frail
And god only knows she's been given
She's so frail

She's leavin' the world of the livin'
She's so frail
And god only knows she's been given
She's so frail
And you know she's going back
To a place she calls home

She calls home
She calls home
She calls home


7. BLACK LIGHT

You fly with the locust
Down in the western sky line
But you're out of focus
In every way you design

The crux of the matter
You've taken the life of my friend
Her dreams you did shatter
They're takin' you down to the end

You always wanted to be right
You never wanted to stay
You are a soul burnin' too bright
Your guardian angel did say

Into the black light, you will go
Into the black light, you will know

I hope you can hear me
You lie alone in your cell
And you never be free
You live in your own private hell

I know Johnny Lennon, is watching the curse of your fate
There's too many people
Too frightened to speak
Of your hate

You are a soul burnin' too bright
Your guardian angel did say

Into the black light, you will go
Into the black light, you will know

You always wanted to be right
You never wanted to stay
You are a soul burnin' too bright
Your guardian angel did say

Into the black light, you will go
Into the black light, you will know

Into the black light, you will go


8. NIGHTS IN WHITE SATIN (THE MOODY BLUES COVER)

Nights in white satin
Never reaching the end
Letters I've written
Never meaning to send

Beauty I'd always missed
With these eyes before
Just what the truth is
I can't say anymore

Cuz I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, how, I love you
I love you

Gazing at people
Some hand in hand
Just what I'm going thru
I can't understand

Some try to tell me
Thoughts they cannot defend
Just what you want to be
You will be in the end

And I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, how, I love you
Oh, how, I love you

Nights in white satin
Never reaching the end
Letters I've written
Never meaning to send

Beauty I'd always missed
With these eyes before
Just what the truth is
I can't say anymore

Cuz I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, how, I love you Oh, I love you

I love you
Yes, I love you
Oh, I love you
I really do
I love you


9. TOO HIGH

You're so electrified
But you're infected by the pain
You've been identified
And it's hello Mary Jane

You look so terrified
Inside your curiousity
But you just can't decide
Just what you want to be

You keep it down low
You let it all go

You're too high
You wanna be the best
Cuz you're too high
You never touch the ground
Cuz you're too high
You're different from the rest
Cuz you're too high
You're never comin' down

Into the sky above
There's a symbol of world peace
But you did kill the dove
Negativity release

They seek you everywhere
You're connected to your fame
But you don't really care
I think it's time to change your name

You keep it down low
You let it all go

You're too high
You wanna be the best
Cuz you're too high
You never touch the ground
Cuz you're too high
You're different from the rest
Cuz you're too high
You're never comin' down
Cuz you're too high
You wanna be the best

Cuz you're too high
You never touch the ground
Cuz you're too high
You're different from the rest
Cuz you're too high
You wanna be the best
Cuz you're too high
You never touch the ground
Cuz you're too high
You're never comin' down
You keep it down low

Haaaa!


10. THIS IS HOW I FEEL

This is how I feel
This moment
This is how I feel
Right now

Don't know what will be tomorrow
Take it all the way
Take it all the way

I'm on the ladder
The sun is shinin'
And nothin' stands in my way
I say goodbye to the fear
Goodbye to the fear

And it don't matter, I need remindin'
Come with me, don't be afraid
And I know just why I'm here
Know just why I'm here

This is how I feel
This moment
This is how I feel
Right now

Don't know what will be tomorrow
Take it all the way
Take it all the way

I'm on a wave in the clear blue water
And theres' no cloud in the sky
And I know just what it is
And I know just what it is
Cuz I'll be safe
And you know I oughta
And I'm not livin' to die
And you know I can't resist
Know I can't resist

This is how I feel

And I know what I see
There's so many things I want to be
And I always wonder why
Just what is meant to be
And I only wanna say
Just what I really feel

This is how I feel
This moment
This is how I feel
Right now

Don't know what will be tomorrow
Take it all the way
Take it all the way
Take it all the way


11. THE DIVINE

Seems like a thousand days
And there can be no doubt
His mind was in a haze
And he was so worn out
He lost serenity
Within a fractured life
With no apology
He knew that he was right
But his eyes they did not see
Heading for a tragedy

To prove his innocence
He'll take it to the grave
In his deliverance
Somebody could be saved

And the world he could not face
Prayin' for a state of grace
He was looking for a sign
He was selfish and unkind
Gave his life to the divine

Inside his caravan
He pulled the shutters down
And will he ever see
What all the others found?
He stood upon the roof
Get closer to the sky
Condition critical
No time to wonder why
But his eyes they could not see
Heading for a tragedy

He was looking for a sign
He was selfish and unkind
Gave his life to the divine

And the world he could not face
Prayin' for a state of grace
He was looking for a sign
He was selfish and unkind

Gave his life

He was looking for a sign
He was selfish and unkind
Gave his life to the divine

He gave his life

13. MISTY MOUNTAIN HOP (LED ZEPPELIN COVER)

Walkin' in the park just the other day, Baby,
What do you, what do you think I saw?
Crowds of people sittin' on the grass with flowers in their hair said,
"Hey, Boy, do you wanna score?"
And you know how it is;
I really don't know what time it was, woh, oh,
So I asked them if I could stay awhile.

I didn't notice but it had got very dark and I was really,
Really out of my mind.
Just then a policeman stepped up to me and asked us said,
"Please, hey, would we care to all get in line,
Get in line."
Well you know, They asked us to stay for tea and have some fun,
Oh, oh, he said that his friends would all drop by, ooh.

Why don't you take a good look at yourself and describe what you see,
And Baby, Baby, Baby, do you like it?
There you sit, sitting spare like a book on a shelf rustin'
Ah, not trying to fight it.
You really don't care if they're coming, oh, oh,
I know that it's all a state of mind, ooh.

If you go down in the streets today, Baby, you better,
You better open your eyes.
Folk down there really don't care, really don't care, don't care, really don't
Which, which way the pressure lies,
So I've decided what I'm gonna do now.
So I'm packing my bags for the Misty Mountains
Where the spirits go now,
Over the hills where the spirits fly, ooh.
I really don't know.
