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
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
