1. LONG WAY DOWN

I kindly decline your invitation
I think I'll just stay at home
Ain't no part of no congregation
I'm doing fine out on my own

I'm free
Ain't nothing abouth me set in stone
Oh I don't know - but

It's a long way down, and I don't want to go
It's a long way down, down to the fire below
My regards to the prince, and tell them all hello
'Cause it's a long way down, and I don't want to go

Sometimes I swear there ain't no heaven
And I pray to God there ain't no hell
So, I pass on this temptation
Hoping that it serves me well

Sometimes
I wonder what's on the other side
Oh I don't know - but

It's a long way down, and I don't want to go
It's a long way down, down to the fire below
My regards to the prince, and tell them all hello
'Cause it's a long way down, and I don't want to go


2. FLY AWAY

I see rainbow colored dreams
Skies of blue on the sea of green
Little funky shack, I won’t be turning back
Tonight I’m gonna fly away, and there won’t be no tracks

Like a rainbow shooting down
Like an upside frown
I see smoke rings through the trees
I'm gonna up and disappear into the midnight breeze

Hey let’s fly away
Up to the stars, way up in the sky
Fly, fly away
On my magic carpet ride

Night comes, and the wind calls your name
Oh, sweet Jasmine blows to my face

Oh, your majesty
Fly into your dreams
Tonight I’ll set you free
Coming right through your window,
gonna take you away with me

Hey let’s fly away
Up to the stars, way up in the sky
Fly, fly away
On my magic carpet ride

Starlight, star so bright
First star that I see tonight
I wish I may, I wish I might
Be the one holding you tight

Like a rainbow shooting down
Like an upside frown
I see smoke rings through the trees
I’m gonna up and disappera into the midnight breeze

Hey let’s fly away
Up to the stars, way up in the sky
Fly, fly away
On my magic carpet ride


3. QUICKSAND

Oh I’m sinking
Screaming for someone to throw me a line
No one hears me
My life passes right before my eyes

The sun is shining
Yet I’m dying
The vultures circling round
What was I thinking
As I’m sinking
Standing in quicksand

No one told me
Never to walk down this road alone
Now I’m humbled
Could they find me, would they ever know

I’m going under
Called my number
Before my time
What was i thinking
As I’m thinking
Standing in quicksand

Am I dreaming
Wake me up before I’m too far gone

Is it slumber
Pulling me under
Pulling me down
What was I thinking
As I’m sinking
Standing in quicksand


4. COLD DAY IN HELL

She lays it down so sweet
Then she acts so tough
Down in between the sheets
She plays it touch by touch
She looks me in the eyes
Ready or not
She slides her body down
I’m praying she don’t stop - She says

If you tell me that you love me
I’ll do the snaky lick trick

It’ll be a cold day, a cold day in hell
When I can walk away girl, you know damn well
It’ll be a cold day, a cold day in hell
You got me by the balls, girl, I’m under your spell
A cold day in hell

Dirty looks, dirty fingers
And a dirty little mind
She’s holding back on me
Says tell me one more time
Slide it in, slide it out
She likes it doggy style
I like the view from here
Just like a sideways smile, She says

If you tell me that you love me
I’ll take you all the way

It’ll be a cold day, a cold day in hell
When I can walk away, girl, I’m under your spell
It’ll be a cold day, a cold day in hell
Oh now you got me baby, and you know damn well
A cold day in hell
You got me by the balls, girl, I’m under your spell


5. I’VE GOT MY OWN

Don’t sell me your fear
Don’t sell me your guilt
‘Cause I, I’ve got my own
Don’t sell me your vision
Your God or religion
‘Cause I’ve got my own

Time after time
The voices of doom, they will rise
Say give - give, do or die
As the fear builds up inside

You play my emotions
Questions my faith
You paint the pictures and the headline the pain

I don’t want your fear - sell it somewhere else
I don’t want your guilt - I can live with myself
I don’t want your God - and I don’t want your hell
‘Cause I’ve got my own

The tears roll by
For the desperate hearts of the night
Alone, alone I will try
But the guilt, I just can’t buy

No, money ain’t mercy
But I can feel your pain
You spell out the danger and ask who’s to blame

I don’t want your fear - sell it somewhere else
I don’t want your guilt - I can live with myself
I don’t want your God - and I don’t want your hell
‘Cause I, I’ve got my own


6. NOWHERE LAND

Spent the last year staring at the sea
Message in a bottle, kept coming back to me
Picked it up and threw it hard
Landed in my neighbour’s yard
Life is but a dream

I’m just waiting here in nowhere land
Waiting for someone to be
Counting pictures on my wall
Waiting for my curtain call
Somewhere is waiting for me
Oh my darling, catch me if I fall
Here in nowhere land

Finding faces in the clouds
Abraham where are you now?
Blowing smoke rings through the sky so high
Picture perfect, pornographic
Moan Lisa in the rain
Pressure cook me, try to hook me
I kept looking to the sea - 'cause

I’m just waiting here in nowhere land
Waiting for someone to be
Oh my darling, catch me if I fall
The thought police have come to get you
You’re under arrest for killing time
What’s your use and what’s your purpose
Put your hands up boy, or lose your mind

Oh my darling, catch me if I fall
Here in nowhere land

Angels hang on stucco walls
Golden frames and velvet halls
Blowing smoke rings in the sky, so high
Lizards on my window pane
What the hell they do all day
I’m just waiting here in nowhere land


7. PRETTY PRISON

Here - at the top of the mountain
Looking out at everything I own
Here - at the top of this mountain
All alone

Got all I want, but not what I need
I touch no one and no one touches me
It's not all that it seems to be
Look at me

I sit all alone in this Pretty Prison
Behind these walls of stone
From room to room of this Pretty Prison
I will roam

Night falls - here I am again
Silent screams - darkness closes in
Loneliness makes another call
God damn it all

I worked so hard reaching for a dream
I worked so hard that I couldn't see
It's not all that it seems to be
Look at me

Oh Lord, I can't take this loneliness
I give you all I got
Let me start again
Oh Lord, teach me how to live
Give me one more try
Let me learn how to live


8. DON’T KNOW WHAT TO DO

So broke, can't pay attention
But my dog is still my friend
So broke, can't pay attention
But my dog is still my friend

Until I had to sell his bone
Now my dog - gone run away from home
And I don't know what to do

Spent some time in Texas
And I swear I was alone
Spent some time in Texas
Baby, I swear I was alone

Now it's 9 months donw the road
And it's junior on the phone
And I don't know what to do
I ain't got no clue
Baby, I swear I've been true
And I don't know what to do

Call out the detectives
'Cause I'm lost out here alone
Call out the detectives
Don't know where I belong

They say you got to be your own man
But I don't even know who I am
And I don't know what to do
I ain't got no clue
No, I don't know what to do
I'm just a happy fool


9. 21ST CENTURY

Oh, it's so tired
This social mutation
Solving everything at the end of a gun
Can we spill the blood
From all this hatred
And pass the point of no return

Cause, I know
There's gonna be some changes, changes
From the wake of our time - I wanna be there

Maybe in the 21st Century
We can live life like it ought to be - in our time

Be torn down
Convicted and lied to
Breeding ignorance to make the same mistakes
Well, it's past time
To make the right moves
Take a chance and a leap of faith

Cause, I know
We've got the means to change it, change
The fate of our time - I wanna be there

Well, maybe in the 21st Century
We can make it better than it used to be - in our time
Maybe in the 21st Century
We can live life like it ought to be - in our minds

Well, it's our time
To stop the madness
And take the rap for our own mistakes

Cause, I know
There's gonna be some changes, changes
From the wake of our time

Oh, stop the madness
This cycle of rage
There must be a new way

Well, maybe in the 21st Century
We can live life like it ought to be - in our minds
Maybe in the 21st Century
We can make it better than it used to be - in our time
Maybe in the 21st Century
We can be everything we ought to be - in our minds


10. I’M LOST

You got me spinning
Round and round
I can't see the sky from here
Everything I feel
Drives me down
Too far, too far and now I fear

I'm lost, I'm lost, I'm lost

All your words, they burn
Through my mind
It seems so hard to break away
Alone I run
Afraid I find
All walls around, nowhere I say

I'm lost, I'm lost, I'm lost

You got me spinning
Round and round
I can't see the sky from here
Everything I feel
Drives me down
Too far, too far and now I fear

I'm lost, I'm lost, I'm lost


11. CONFUSION

You can shave your head or raise the dead
It all comes down to you
Moralize and criticise
It's so easy to do

No solutions - No

Hey - you're talking revolution
Tearing down the walls of the institutions

No solutions - No

Well round & round we go
We're locked in this state
State of confusion
You call it revolution

Justify the sacrifice
Justify the pain
Victimise and glamorise
Your angry heart of hate

No solutions - No

Well round & round we go
We're locked in this state
State of confusion
You call it revolution

State of confusion
Where's the revolution?

Enough! Enough! Enough!

Round & round & round & round we go

Those who don't remember the past
Are condemned to repeat it...


12. NO REGRETS

Wake me up, I've been gone too long
'Cause there's so much ahead of me

All my life, I've had pain and sorrow
And that's all I could ever see
I sat empty, wasting all my days
Waiting for a future dream

And now I see that there's so much more
When I forgive myself and just let it go

So here I stand
With my arms wide open
With No Regrets at all

I've laid naked, with the past I've made
And there's no reason for me to bleed
"What-could-have-been", is a nowhere place
that clouds the view ahead of me

I made a sacrifice, to free my mind
I've shed my past, and put it all behind me

Now here I stand
With my whole life before me
And No Regrets at all
No Regrets, No Regrets, No Regrets at all

All my life, I felt all alone - on my own
But my self-pity got the best of me
Now, I've learned my past, doesn't have to be - my enemy
And I'm the only one, who's in control - in control of my destiny

And now I see that there's so much more
When I forgive myself and just let it go

So here I stand
With my arms wide open
And No Regrets at all
No Regrets, No Regrets, No Regrets
No Regrets at all

Here I stand
With my arms wide open
No Regrets at all
