Bright Side
02:30
|

Do you remember
the bad times
The silence
Dripping from
the ceiling
I'm crying
The bodies
in the basement
are rotting
I'm feeling
a bit queasy
from
the sushi
I ate
about an hour ago
Why can't you look on the bright side
there were more good times then bad
When i was
a young boy
my father
oh wait
thats another song
im sorry
im trying to be
more original
more sociable
more available
more emotional
A buddhist
A hippie
something
I can be proud of
when i'm 40
or 60
or rotting
in the basement
Why can't you look on the bright side
there were more good times then bad

Jesus' Daughter
02:08
|

She kisses the moon in the sky
Touches the stars with her hands
Skips through the water of the Atlantic at the speed of sound
She is Jesus' daughter
She cries every night
Seeing the greed that consumes us all
The blood flowing in the streets of New Orleans
She is Jesus' Daughter
She is angered by
The wars we have fought for little more than nothing
The fact that two people wont stay together
She is Jesus' Daughter
She is pissed off
at the stupidity of hatred
and the stubbornness of idiots that never learned to give in
She is Jesus' daughter
Without this song
You never would have guessed
that Jesus had a daughter
She doesn't care
about your mistakes
or if you believe in her father

Ocean
01:10
|

Sitting in the sand
sea breeze on my skin
blowing through my soul
Not thinking anything
Then the tide rises
waves come in
and swallow me whole
It's a sad sad story
Drifting out to sea
just cruising along
on a whale bigger than the
taj mahal
reach our destination
north of the north pole
say goodbye to that whale
and leave the great sea
On the north pole
made friends with some reindeer
they said they could fly
then they flew real high
I was all alone
got a chill in my bone
I was ready to head home
But I was all alone
Then a small fish in the ice
asked me if id like some advice
I told him not to bother
Its not like he was my father
Fish said to me
He said dont go dont leave
He said I'll miss you so
And I got up and walked away
All the way home

Self
03:09
|

Down by the farm
I walk and I stand
Right past the barn
And across the lake
There’s a green green pasture
That’s where I live
I am a cow
I eat the grass
I have no worries
and no concept of self
There’s a green green pasture
Up in the tree
I sit and I wait
Hunting my prey
I might fly away
There’s a brown autumn forest
That’s where I live
I am an owl
I fly away
I have no worries
And no concept of self
There’s a brown autumn forest
That’s where I live
Out in the garden
I slither around
Under the flowers
Under the ground
There’s a green leafy garden
that’s where I live
I am a snake
I’m not the devil
I have no worries
And no concept of self
There’s a green leafy garden
that’s where I live
In my house
I sit and I watch
Mindless TV
I am lazy
There’s a crumbling society
That’s where I live
I am a Human
I waste my time
I have some worries
I can’t stand myself

Dying Young
02:22
|
|||
Slowly put on another record, spin
Wait for the car to crash
I've been waiting all my life
For the bluebirds to return
Jamming slowly with some friends
Can you really see the sound
If you do then you are free
Free from the ocean
I really want to run to heaven now
but i'll just wonder in the wind
Man I can't keep singing here
Dying young would seal my place
The ocean is so very deep
You will surely drown
See me standing in a lifeboat
A guitar in hand
Strum a little louder friend
Sing your bleeding heart out
Release your soul to them
They truly deserve it
I can't take this anymore
People you gotta wake up
Man I can't keep singing here
Dying young would seal my place

Young Love
02:07
|
|||
When you were young
so much love in your heart
Then you got older
Your heart got colder
But where did it start
Young love, young love in your heart
You've got, young love, young love in your heart
Little boy and little girl
all the time in the world
The innocence, love made sense
It was all we knew
Young love, young love in your heart
You've got, young love, young love in your heart
When you were young
nothing fell apart
When you got older
Your heart got colder
everything turned to rot
Young love, young love in your heart
You've got, young love, young love in your heart

I was sitting in the back seat
waiting for a long shot
when you came around
You with your long hair
I stared into your green eyes
your sad sad smile
No we didnt talk much
things were moving too fast
Didn't matter to me
You said we had to break up
It really didn't hurt bad
Cause your still there for me
and i'll always be there for you
and no matter what i do
We are only friends
but i love you
Everytime I see you
god i feel your sorrow
Just if I could take half of it away
Put it in a soup can
mix it with some medicine
Drink the whole damn thing
Just to feel what you feel
Split the pain between us
Does it feel better now
I'll be here forever
Probably can't make it better
But i'll give it a try
and i'll always be there for you
and no matter what i do
We are only friends
and im fine with that
but i love you
You know there is this one thing
It is kind of crazy
Would you give it a shot
Run away with me babe
I know we could be happy
And that's all i want
Met you in a dark place
two lonely hearts ache
You didn't feel a spark for me
But There is this deep connection
deeper then I
have ever felt
and i'll always be there for you
and no matter what i do
We are only friends
but i love you
I love you
I love you
and not just as a friend
and i'll feel this till the end
I love you
I really do

I See Love
03:04
|

I see the sun rising over me
I see the clouds passing through the trees
I see my mom smiling back at me
I see love
I see the fog It astounds me
I see the birds flying with the breeze
I see my brother laughing at me
I see love
I feel the wind blow right through me
I feel the sun it warms my body
I feel your love it surrounds me
I am loved
I feel my soul’s too big for my body
It’s going to burst right out of me
Now what are we to do
About that
You see these people, they mean the world to me
Just wanna tell em, how much they mean to me
Even the ones, I don’t get to see
Like I want
