Valentines in my pocket

Gone away is the blue bird
Here to stay is the new bird

A Box of Everything
04:06
|
|||
Oh I’m grateful they found you girl
And they put me with you
Cuz you chase away everything
Used to make me feel blue
And our love rewrites history
And it grows ever sure
Into to this endless mystery
From the well deep inside of us
I bought you a diamond bracelet
I bought you a diamond ring
Then I took them back so I could
Buy a box of everything
For you……….
For you……….
Once I thought that love was meant for
Anybody else but me
Now I know that you were always
Meant to be my destiny
It’s true…….
It’s you……
Once we chased the finite things my love
We were blind but now we see
Turn the particles to waves my love
Total reciprocity forever
I bought you a diamond bracelet
I bought you a diamond ring
Then I took them back so I could
Buy a box of everything
Cuz yeah we are so much in love girl
But it has become much more
Quantum leaps and exponential
Opening of endless doors
Anew you……
With you…….
I bought you a diamond bracelet
I bought you a diamond ring
Then I took them back so I could
Buy a box of everything

Tink (I Know It's You)
05:14
|
|||
I see you runnin’ in the night
your little spark of light I know it’s you oh yeah
Oh I see you sneakin’ through the trees
you whisper on the breeze to steal my heart and you do
Yeah I know it’s you
I see you lookin’ through her eyes
There ain’t no disguise for what you do to me
Oh I see you reachin’ through the lies
Oh I am so surprised you’ve come this far for me
Cuz hey Tink, I was so unkind, grown up and so blind
Tempted by a love that took me far from home
Hey Tink I just couldn’t see you were meant for me
I left you in a garden full of broken dreams yeah
I see you and I understand it ain’t Neverland
it’s me and you, oh yeah
And I pray that this might be the day t
hat we can get away from grown up dreams and blues
And hey Tink now that I can see
You’re still here with me
We can take the reins and be this thing together
Hey Tink we can merge in time with the great Divine
And we can build a world for all the lost and lonely
I know it’s you
I know it’s you
I know it’s you
I see you runnin’ in the night
Your spark of light I know its you, oh yeah

I had a dream last night and it held me in its arms
I rode a train of light and it kept me safe from harm
It whispered, Oh my love, oh my child, oh my dream
I will give you the light if you just give me the means
On the Trans-Slambovian Bi-Polar Express
And then that train rolled on into the fears I know too well
To where my demons fly, yeah it rode right into Hell
And then that light shone out and that whistle blew
And that great voice cried out, Hey I’ve come for you
Get on the Trans-Slambovian Bi-Polar Express
We’re on the Trans-Slambovian Bi-Polar Express
Some great love shot right through me
Untangled all those fears
It acted like it always knew me
It said, Oh my child I’m always here
And then I awoke into this world that we live in
It all seemed a joke in its logic wearing thin
So I said, Hey come back, let’s make it end and let’s begin
And if you help me out I will help you in
On the Trans-Slambovian Bi-Polar Express
We’re on a Trans-Slambovian Bi-Polar Express
Get on the Trans-Slambovian Bi-Polar Express
We’re on a Trans-Slambovian Bi-Polar Express
Get on the Trans-Slambovian Bi-Polar Express

Sunday In the Rain
04:41
|
|||
I woke up today
Like yesterday
I went out to score some anti-pain
But i need your voice not somethin’ else
On this Sunday in the rain
I faded away more everyday
And feelin’ less meant somethin’ more
Yeah I never stopped to check the score
‘Til this Sunday in the rain
Well i know I lied to you
And I denied all your pain
I justified my own point of view
And now I’m standin’ all alone
In the rain
Hey I’ll get it right you’ll see
And all your sorrow I’ll repay
Just send out your light to me
And let me know if there’s a
If there’s still a way
I woke up today
Like yesterday
I went out to score some anti-pain
But my real addiction’s gettin’ plain
On this Sunday in the rain
I need your voice not somethin’ else
On this Sunday in the rain
Yeah I need your voice not somethin’ else
On this Sunday in the rain
Sunday in the rain
Sunday in the rain
Sunday in the rain

Very Happy Now
03:43
|
|||
I’m very happy now
I don’t know what has made it so
I’m very happy now
And while I am I think I’ll go
I wish the best for you
I wish the same for who you choose
I know you’re not for me
Was easier for you to see
That’s right!
I’m very happy now
I’m finally free of trying to try
To make our love work out
For making truth out of a lie
I know you’re not for me
Was easier for you to see
Was blinded by the hope
I thought I saw you saw in me
That’s right!
Da da dum dum da da
Dum da dum da da
Dum da dum da da dum dum da
I’m very happy now
I haven’t felt this way in years
I’m very happy now
This moment’s just not right for tears
So if you see me cry
It’s kinda like the rain you see
There really is no why
There’s not a bit of pain in me
Oh no!
Let’s go!
Da da dum dum da da
Dum da dum da da
Dum da dum da da dum dum da
Da da dum dum da da
Dum da dum da da

Lost Highway
05:11
|
|||
Woke up this morning, hit the high water mark
of being tired of living in the fog and in the dark
I didn’t go to work, I couldn’t handle the jive
I gotta find better reasons for staying alive
Aahooooo
Aahooooo
Aahooooo
Aahooooo
Gonna gas up the Caddy, gonna hit the high road
I’m gonna get outta’ town ‘for my conscience explodes
I’m gonna find the Lost Highway, I know it’s out there somewhere
And get back to the garden on two fins and a prayer
Aahooooo
Aahooooo
Aahooooo
Aahooooo
Gonna drive back to Eden, gonna straighten things out
Gonna find out what causes all the fear and the doubt
I’m gonna visit that angel with the big flaming sword
Pay the price of admission and then go see the Lord
Aahooooo
Aahooooo
Tell him that I’m sorry I’m the one to blame and
I’ll put it right, yeah I’ll put it right
Get us off the grid and get us reconnected to the love and the light
Love and the light
Aahooooo
Yeah I’ll be your Adam if you’ll be my Eve
We’ll erase all the pages that caused God’s heart to grieve
We’ll forgive that serpent, it was us took the bite
And rewrite the story about how we get it right
Jump in the Caddy drive up to the stars
Go and find out what Spring is like on Jupiter and Mars
Aahooooo
Aahooooo
Aahooooo
Aahooooo
Aahooooo
On the Lost Highway
Aahooooo

A Very Unusual Head
04:10
|
|||
Got a very unusual head
Got a very unusual head
They will take him apart when he’s dead
And his very unusual head
Cuz he’s soaring through boring predictable games that they play
With the glorious noise that can steal all our sad hearts away
Up through the atmosphere
Very unusual head
S’got a very unusual head
They will take him apart when he’s dead
And his very unusual head
Yeah they’re following, swallowing everything he’s got to say
But he’s wallowing, hollow and barely can get through the day
But he’s coming back again
Yeah he’s rambling, scrambling, getting his ducks in a row
He’s preambling, gambling this time the whole thing will go
Up through the atmosphere
Got a very unusual head
Got a very unusual head
They will take him apart when he’s dead
And his very unusual head
(play your mouth trumpets here!)
Everyone sing along
Very unusual head
Got a very unusual head
They will take him apart when he’s dead
And his very unusual head
Surely take him apart when he’s dead
And his very unusual head

Good Thief
04:58
|
|||
A good thief tips his hat
A good thief winks his eye
A good thief always smiles
A good thief never lies
He comes to steal your heart
and take you far away
where you can dream your dreams
you can learn to play
Without fear
Without fear
I took my stories all
To Dream Weasel’s estate
He nuked them for an hour
and put ’em on a plate
He cut ’em up with grace
and chewed without a sound
and then he spit them in my face
tried to knock me down
But no fear
I got no fear
Cause where will he go when the good thief comes around?
I said, there’s no where to hide when the good thief comes to town…
And where will you go when the good thief comes around
You know there’s nowhere to hide
when the good thief comes to town
A good thief tips his hat
A good thief winks his eye
A good thief always smiles
And good thieves never die
They come to steal your heart
and take you far away
where you can dream your dreams
you can learn to play
Without fear
without fear
without fear
without fear
Where will you go?

Pushin' Up Daisies
04:02
|
|||
The lies will unravel and light and love win
In dreams we will travel as new worlds begin
In our hearts, in our hearts, in our hearts
Not just wishful thinking, these thoughts are like seeds
They can grow anywhere, and they’re stronger than weeds
Let’s plant ‘em all over, all over the world
All over the world
They transform resistance into an embrace
Let everyone know they can’t be replaced
We’re pushing up daisies way up to the sky
And nobody dies
We’re pushing up daisies, way up to the sky
And nobody dies
And nobody dies
And nobody dies
And nobody dies
Daisies, daisies
LIVING WITH GOD
Sometimes it feels
Like the worlds closin’ in on us
We beg borrow steal as it tries hard to pin us
We lose the magic that keeps us free
Then I look at you and you look at me
We laugh it all away
Walkin’ with you is like walkin’ with
Talkin’ to you is like talkin’ to
Livin’ with you is like livin’ with God
Just like livin’ with God
Sometimes it feels
Like the things that they sold us are true
Sometimes it feels to survive
We must do as they do
But oh those times when we get it right
Beyond our fears and beyond our fights
I look at you and I see the light
The life, the truth, the way
Walkin’ with you is like walkin’ with God
Talkin’ to you is like talkin’ to God
Livin’ with you is like livin’ with God
Just like livin’ with God
This is my hope and my way and my dream
And my drug when I get tired of livin’
This is my truth and my fountain of youth
And the thing I feel is worth the giving
Beyond the games beyond the schemes
Beyond the ways beyond the means
Beyond the churches with their flaws
Beyond the letter and the law
Beyond the mountains and the seas
Beyond beyond there’s you and me
You’re like livin’ with God
Just like livin’ with God
You’re like livin’ with God
Just like livin’ with God

Talkin' To the Buddha
09:41
|
|||
We went out on the road today
And the sky was full of tears
And each small town looked so blue
And they seemed to ache for better years
Then my cell phone started ringin’ wild
Like a fire alarm from hell
And when I picked it up a sad voice said,
“It’s time to ring that golden bell”
And I was talkin’ to the Buddha
And I made the Buddha cry
Yeah I was talkin’ to the Buddha
And I realized that I, I’ve been causin’ all this rain
He said meet me at Joe’s diner
Where Route 6 meets 88
Well I arrived at the appointed time
But Buddha said, “you’re runnin’ late”
We both ordered an espresso
From the owner’s new machine
And as the jukebox played Nirvana
He said, ” ignorance is mean”
And I was talkin’ to the Buddha
And I made the Buddha cry
Yeah I was talkin’ to the Buddha
And I realized that I, I’ve been causin’ all this rain
I’ve been causin’ all this rain
Somebody help me stop the rain
Buddha said the twelve gates wait for you
And creation’s in travail
Waiting for us all to see the light
And restore what we have failed
The waitress said, “hey you want a refill?”
But Buddha said, “there is no time”
“There’s three seconds left to zero”
Then that white light stole my mind
And I was talkin’ to the Buddha
And I made the Buddha cry
I was talkin’ to the Buddha
And I realized that I, I’ve been causin’ all this rain
I’ve been causin’ all this rain
Somebody help me stop the rain
Somebody help me stop the rain
Help me stop the rain…
We’ve been talkin’ to the Buddha

Light a Way
03:52
|

I know what you’re thinkin’
Someday we can ride out
Rise above this sinkin’
Someday we can ride out
And light a way
And light a way again
Again
I know what you’re dreamin’
Better worlds than this one
Better ways of being
Shining like the bright sun
We’ll light a way
We’ll light a way again
Again
We’ll cross over the river
And find what we’re after
Learn to give like the Giver
All our tears turn to laughter
We’ll light a way
We’ll light a way again
Again
We’ll cross over the river
And find what we’re after
Learn to give like the Giver
All our tears turn to laughter
We’ll light a way
We’ll light a way again
Again
Come light a way
Come light a way
Again
Again
Again
Again
I know what you’re thinkin’

See ya later alligators
Think it’s time to end this show
We’d like to stay a little later but I
Think it’s time to go
But it sure has been sublime
to spend a little time with you
And it always blows our minds
to see the things that we can do
When we put our heads together
See ya later alligators
Yeah it’s gettin’ time to run
We’d like to stay a little later
We sure have a lot of fun
And it sure has been sublime
to spend a little time with you
And it always blows our minds
To see the things that we can do
When we put our hearts together
See ya later alligators
Think it’s time to hit the road
Let’s get these treasures off to bed before our
Crazy heads explode
But it sure has been sublime
to spend a little time with you
And it always blows our minds
to see the things that we can do
When we put our dreams together
Goodnight, sleep tight, climb the stairs
Don’t forget to say your prayers
We’ll come see you in your dreams
Help you push them to extremes
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
