1. THE TRAIN

Step up and step aboard, your seat is to the left
Leave all your bags behind and tighten up your metal belt

Last time aboard the train that goes around the world
Last time aboard the train
Last time aboard the train that goes around the world
Around the world

You leave us all behind, you start to feel the pain
(Last time aboard the train...)
Don't try to take the ride, sit back and let it rain
(Last time aboard the train...)

Last time aboard the train that goes around the world
Last time aboard the train
Last time aboard the train that goes around...

Flying... around the world... flying
Last time aboard the train that lives inside my world
Last time aboard the train. I'm going 'round the world



2. THINKING AND WONDERING WHAT I'M GONNA DO

So would you take me for a ride
And let me know I'm alive
Oh sometimes I wish I didn't
Have an answer or a clue to anything
All this wonderin' and this thinkin'
And wonderin' and this thinkin'
And wonderin' what I'm gonna do
So many reasons to believe
Yeah, I am so easily deceived

Oh, sometimes I wish I didn't
Have an answer or a clue to anything
All this wonderin' and this thinkin'
And wonderin' and this thinkin
And wonderin' what I'm gonna do

So would you take me for a ride
And let me know I'm still alive
Oh, oh sometimes I wish I didn't
Have an answer or a clue to anything
All this wonderin' and this thinkin'
And wonderin' and this thinkin
And wonderin' what I'm gonna do


3. SOMETIME

Sometime, I want to give
Sometime, I want to take
Sometime, I want to run
Sometime, I want to stay

Sometime, sometime, sometime, sometime

Sometime, I want to love
Sometime, I want to hate
Sometime, I want to build
Sometime, I want to break

Sometime, sometime, sometime, sometime

Sometime, I want to live
Sometime, I want to die
Sometime, I want to believe
Sometime, I want to get high and fly


4. A BOX

Lonely days will come and go
Nothing new unless you're bold
Revolution #19 brand new wave of anger
Stain yourself with pumpkin pie, liquid tattoo I got mine
Don't forget forgetfulness, call it deconstruction

There is no room inside a box
There is no room inside

Way down in the deep depress
Colder than the coldest yes
We all know of loneliness
Others to another
Just a place to run and hide
Just a place to free your mind
Just a place to break the chains
And find whatever matters

There is no room inside a box
There is no room inside


5. LOOKING FOR LOVE

I want to, I got to, I need to move on down the line
If not to, to make me, I should have stood behind the lines
What is this, what have I, What am I? Not what you see
So take me, so use me, I'm stupid I don't want to

Oh, lookin' for love

A standard, a program, religion burns me at the stake
I questioned, I listened, I worshipped. How can I relate?
I worked so hard at it ... oh Lord the bruises and the burns
I just don't, don't get it. I guess I lost my faith

Oh, lookin' for love


6. MISSISSIPPI MOON

Today I walked
Today I ran
Today I tried to figure who I am
Yesterday we played in our waterfall...
Dancing with the Summer... laughing at it all
Over the Mississippi moon...
Have to make myself remember
It's something that I used to know
Over the Mississippi moon...
Got to get myself together
I've started seeing blue and gold
Today I flew over the hill
Reaching for that feeling, that one more thrill
Yesterday the same, tomorrow never knows
I carry all my life wherever I go


7. SIXTY-SEVEN

Based on the information hangin' on my brain
Put it all together, and this is what I get
Kinda like an acid trip you'd take in '69
When it was stronger
Looked in the mirror and this is what I see
No matter how hard I try I just can't let it be
Cut off all my dreadlocks and now I'm feeling free
Here comes my neighbor

67 stations watching cable television in the bedroom

Everywhere I turn seems like another trap
Sent a death sentence to my own address
I thought I could do it, but now I know I can't
Wish I could just go away
Yeah I watch the sun setting in the west
Probably a thousand times and every one was best
Lone ranger desperado following the tracks
Life after rock 'n' roll
Life is getting better, and I don't want to cry
I get too embarrassed when my eyes are just too dry
Manic manipulation I play it all the time
Rocky mountain

67 stations watching cable television in your bedroom


8. LIES IN THE SAND (THE BALLAD OF...)

There's a man, who says there is a light in the sky
All my friends say he's telling a lie
But he speaks with such passion that I have to think about
And his hands... well they tremble as he points it out
But I can't see what it's all about
And the voices of many are singing along it seems
Is it all something new? And will I see it too?
Or is this just continuing man?
Throughout all history claiming they all can see
but the evidence falters just short of my hand
And there are lies in the sand
There's a man who says he was a Satanic Beast
And the many were there at his feet
And he scared all the people, cause he just what we want
...Making more history...
There are things that will surely seem as they are not
And I might not know all that I've got
But the bluffing is easy, and I haven't seen your hand


9. RUN

Yeah she told me, that if I wasn't good
He would get me, make me pay for
Everything I did, and she said
That everybody bad would burn in Hell
I did what she told me and I became someone else
I had to run
I had to hide
In the world outside
A better chance, out there
If God is everywhere
I wait for nothing, take my chances, let it ride
Maybe there's an answer but it's buried by the lies
Somebody told me that it's just a waste of my time
But I can't get rid of all those bags I left behind


10. FATHERS

My brother's on crack
My sister's a wreck
Our mother... she tries
Our fathers are lies
Everyone of us loves everyone of us
Everyone of us loves everyone
My brother sells cars
Another one's gay
More brothers are gone
My sister... she stays
Everyone of us loves everyone of us
Everyone of us loves someone
Our mother... she tries
Our fathers...


11. AMERICAN CHEESE (JERRY'S PLANTO)

I know that for at least a thousand years
I haven't tried
And I know that for maybe ten or twelve long years
I've seen you cry...
And I know that where the chains of doom are kept I find my shoes
And I know that gotta save myself again
Win or lose
I know that the pressure of the world is sin
Don't ask me why
And I know that it comes in ways that can't begin to pay the price
Tell me you've seen around the world
Tell me you crawled inside my tomb
Became all knowing
Then slithered down the reins
To hide some more
Turn away from me
All my pride
All my time
And when you washed away all of the indications
All my pride
All my time
All my pride
All my time
All my pride
All my crime...


12. PICTURE

She was a white skinned black beauty
The daughter of an Indian
Her Grandparents raised her in northern Illinois
I call her mother
He was the son of a hellfire holiness preacher woman
They say nobody was wilder
But maybe his brother
I call him father
She was young, calling love
He was young, stealing love
We all got together for the first time last September
I said "Somebody take a photograph I've got a camera"
Now I got me a favorite picture


13. LIFE GOING BY

I've seen a wind torn sky
And I've felt the river cry
And I've seen the old ones have their say
I've known the constitution
And I've seen a revolution
And I've seen the birds all fly away
I've climbed in the back and I've hung
From the rack and I've died more that once on the way
And I've sat there in awe
And I've seen myself fall
And I've felt the full light of the day
On... my life going by
I've read confusing fiction
And lived a contradiction
And I've wondered where on Earth I've been
I've known a love forever
A truth I couldn't sever
A chord that flows a free as wind
I've stood on the mountain and drank from the fountain
And poured it all out on the floor
Turned my back to the glory and walked the tenth story
And come back to knock on your door
On...my life going by
...My life going on
...My life going by
