I can't believe what happened here tonight
I know those things I said, you know those things were not right

Anger coursing through my blood
And corroding all my veins
I'm hanging on for dear life
I'm just trying to find my reins

Got your eyes open, but you cannot see
Got what you want, do you got what you need?
'Till one day you see something you cannot bear
Telling you girl, yes you better beware
Her papa loved her so much you could see
Loved her too much if you know what I mean
So, she left home young,
Yeah she moved town to town

I got to get away man
Got to clear my mind, mind, mind
Out of this mundane, god-forsaken 9-5, wasting my time

I'm gonna tell the boss man
I'm never coming back, back, back
I'm just a one way crazy locomotive jumpin' off of my tracks

Ben got a job at the mine along the way.
He said everything was fine until that fateful day.
That's when his luck, started to change.
The day he went to help and go blow up that Mountain Range.

Ben Moved to town a year ago or maybe more
Straight out of High School the whole world he had in store
Wanted to travel, needed some dough

You light me up little girl like the 4th of july
I love you more than every single star man in the sky
You are the best damn thing that ever happened to me
Want to take you home start making family
You are a damn fine lady like no other
Want to introduce you to my father and my mother
I am damn happy you want to be my lover
Can't wait to get you home and get you under the covers

Earthbound Child
Earthbound Child
Come up with the shit I'm the Earthbound Child
Earthbound Child
Earthbound Child
Come up with the shit I'm the Earthbound Child
Earthbound Child
Earthbound Child

Fire in the sky outta the blue and into the red depths,
Time for you and I to try to fall asleep in the bed they've made us,
All came crumbling down tears in our eyes as it rained confusion
The whole world has changed
But I don't understand how one can kill a man
In the name of peace, that's ridiculous
They say eye for an eye
So they fire from the sky and they come outta nowhere

Two atoms, they collide
In all the random ways
In the heat of you and I
Not so random, some might say

She walks up close to me
She looks me in the eyes
She said "Boy, what's it gonna be,

Girl I don't wanna argue
I don't wanna fight
And if there's something wrong
Yes you know I'm gonna try to make it right
I love you, you love me
We be one family tonight
So get right over here
Let's get don col' funky tonight

You tell me what you want girl,
You tell me what you need
You know you just say the word
I'll be right there, yes I'll be right there at your feet

Because you know you rock girl
And i love how we roll
But i left you all alone, all we got is the phone

Just a castaway
An island lost at sea
Another lonely day
With no one here but me
More loneliness
Than any man could bear
Rescue me before I fall into despair

Old man he looks out the window
You know he gets quite a fright.
Whole world has gone and changed on him
Feels like it was overnight.
He saw a world war yeah it came and went
The man walked on the moon right there in his living room
Saw that TV become a relgion,
The Wall came down and Big Mac beat the communists.

"Only One"

There's something haunting me, running on thin ice
It's nothing you can see, I do all I can to hide
And all the rolling days, all the lonely nights
You don't know your place, all the fights

I keep on reading the same chapter

Why do I deserve such a visit
From the one I thought I'd never meet.
Beyond my greatest expectations.
You exceeded everything.
Well here I am

Take me for what you see
For I'm transparent in the light of you.

Sista, Sista, why can't you see
That I'm a part of you
And you're a part of me
And all I want is just to be your friend
So Sista, Sista, won't you let me in

'cause all your life I have seen you grow
And yes you are, you're a beautiful woman,

There'll come a time
When you may want just a little more
Societys luxuries are not what you had in store.
They offer no security for your soul.
So Mother Earth is what you need
Maybe this is what you be looking for.

Oh Mother Earth

1788 down Sydney cove
The first boat people land
Sorry boys our gains you loss
We're gonna steal your land
And if you break our new British law
Be sure your gonna hang or work your lives like our convicts
With a chain on your neck and hand

Don't call me hippy 'cause the way that I look,
'Cause I got a recipe, and you know I can cook.
And I come forth with only good intent,
You know, I am Heaven bound but I'm surely hell bent.

On getting the job done, like I know I should,
Get the job done, like my momma told me to.
Only one thing can remember she said,

When I was young
I longed to be a soldier
Playing war on the street
With Billy and my brother
Remembering all them years ago
Pop said, "Don't be a pawn
In a rich man's war
You can't pick a side living on a ball

Wait until you get home.
I'm sick of communicating now over the telephone.
Tell me how you feel,
For I am lonely too
Need you to know
I'm just as cold and numb as you.

But I could fly away,

Tell me where life goes in such a rush
Like that melted snow in your blue eyes
No one ever could try to tell us
Both were young and full of all our lies

We got in real deep they all could see
Running from the sun casting our shadows
No one trusted us not even me

I could be loud man I could be silent
I could be young man or I could be old
I could be a gentleman or I could be violent
I could turn hot man or I could be cold
I could be just like the calm before the storm boy waiting for all hell yeah to break loose
I could be innocent or I could be guilty
Doesn't mean that I won't believe in the news so I'm singing
