Take my advice and cover your eyes Cuz a world of hate is all they're selling you The future they say is living this way With your head bowed down to your shoes Yeah you're deep in that scene A high-profile queen Yeah you're big on a tiny screen Yeah you're big on a tiny screen A rose colored lens to see all your friends They use the things you love to make you feel blue And there's nowhere to hide from a tiny glass eye That's watching every little thing you do Yeah you're deep in that scene A high-profile queen Yeah you're big on a tiny screen Yeah you're big on a tiny screen

Poppies 02:50
Now that the rain has filled the seeds The kids are taking off on a wildflower spree and I... I want to go They'll rise in the early morning hour Toward the sweet smell of poppies and the grass that tastes so sour If you... you want to know Then let your wheels roll down the coast highway Just an open road, no signpost to say Just where you should go Oh oh oh Drifting down and singing loudly songs that we all know The valley opens up to a technicolor show and we... are eight miles high Golden hills rolling out into a sea of blue Voices in the wind whisper out "your path is true" and I... I take a sigh And let my wheels roll down the coast highway Just an open road, no signpost to say Just where you should go Oh oh oh And though this may last for quite a time You can't spend your whole life singing funny songs of rhyme If you... you are to grow

I was driving through the Otways just trying to kill some time And in the seat right next to me was a very dear friend of mine Day and night we rolled along only stopping to get some sleep Searching for a good time with no particular place to be We left our homes, we left our friends, said bye to our families Said we'd see 'em again but not sure when, and we took off into the trees With money tight we'd sometimes fight, though we knew it wasn't smart Down at times on our hands and knees just praying for the car to start Point your boots towards the setting sun Let the light shine on your face Let the eastern winds begin to push you the right way On the road we passed a man who looked down on his luck His clothes were wet, his eyes were sad, we could see that he was stuck No room to spare, we drove on by but I hope he found some friends I still think of him from time to time, but mostly when it rains Point your boots towards the setting sun Let the light shine on your face Let the eastern winds begin to push you the right way Point your boots towards the setting sun Let the light shine on your face Let the eastern winds begin to push you the right way

Coming in from London, from over the pole Flyin' in a big airliner Chickens flyin' everywhere around the plane Could we ever feel much finer? Comin' into Los Angeles Bringin' in a couple of keys Don't touch my bags if you please, mister customs man There's a guy with a ticket to Mexico No, he couldn't look much stranger Walkin' in the hall with his things and all Smilin', said he was the Lone Ranger Comin' into Los Angeles Bringin' in a couple of keys Don't touch my bags if you please, mister customs man Hip woman walkin' on the movin' floor Trippin' on the escalator There's a man in the line and she's blowin' his mind Thinkin' that he's already made her Comin' into Los Angeles Bringin' in a couple of keys Don't touch my bags if you please, mister customs man Comin' in from London, from over the pole Flyin' in a big airliner Chickens flyin' everywhere around the plane Could we ever feel much finer? Comin' into Los Angeles Bringin' in a couple of keys Don't touch my bags if you please, mister customs man

Came down the hill into Bolinas or maybe some other coastal town We left that big old city far behind us looking out for something never found And it ain't gold, baby, no precious stones no it ain't nothing you or I could own Now the hardest part about chasin' dreams is catching up with something you can't see They say all roads lead to roam A thousand places to get going Yeah my daddy said, and my momma too keep my mind open in my youth So thanks to them, ain't any doubt they left me to figure myself out They say all roads lead to Rome A thousand ways back home

If Only 03:49
If only I knew how to describe it If only I just knew how to fight it If only, if only, if only, If only these visions were true If only I could even deny it Its only cuz I wanted to try it If only, if only, if only, If only you felt this way too If only I had someway to hide it If only the truth can help find it If only, if only, if only, If only the light could break through

Keep me in this dream A little bit longer, a little bit longer Put another dime in the machine One more dream Five more minutes, one more day The noise of the streets in a deep decay Stress and strife start to melt away The mind from the body begins to stray Keep me under, leave me be To sit alone in my empty tree While the clouds drift by on a gentle breeze And no ones around for to disagree Keep me in this dream A little bit longer, a little bit longer Put another dime in the machine One more dream Cuz when I wake I find myself Wishing I was somewhere else Where value doesn't equal wealth And I'm not breaking my back to afford my health Beaten down no smile to bear A mind sitting idle in disrepair Like an empty shell with a hollow stare As hard as a rock but as light as air

Night Flyer 04:02
Wax dripping down a candle burning slow Is the only way for me to know How long I've waited for you to appear My light is fading fast, will you be here? Night flyer Will I ever see your face anymore? Night flyer Are you coming through this place anymore? A mind held heavy by eternal fate Sweet flyer bring to me an escape A life like this leaves much to the desire Help me to know what things I require Night flyer What message do you bring for me? Night flyer Take me underneath your wing so free

Take My Mind 02:47
Please don't take my mind And make me look at line after line Of written laughs and photographs of comedy's decline Please don't take my mind And please don't take my hands For all your button pushing demands That fill the empty spaces scattered all throughout your day And rub my fingertips away You can't commodify me And quantify my love And I'll just keep my head down Let death come from above Please don't take my love And leave me here like an empty glove You warm me up with all the thoughts you put inside my head And take my loneliness instead You can't commodify me And quantify my love And I'll just keep my head down Let death come from above
