High-Profile Queen
03:09
|
|||
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

Great Highways
03:14
|

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 Into Los Angeles
03:35
|
|||
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

A Thousand Ways
03:14
|
|||
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

Dream Machine

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
