Chemicals 03:32
Every time I see you on those chemicals Every time you try to shake that phase If you think you’ll hide out in the catacombs Oh and think you’ll never find another way Thinkin’ in your lucid dreaming state of mind Cause you want to escape to your true place If you think you’re on the brink of all the centerfolds Oh it’s time to re-evaluate your tastes And now whose in your way And now whose in your way Fire Away Flush away the pills you say get you by Start make a move to a clean page Come on let me show you how to take a ride On a plain surface, veers you from your rage And now whose in your way And now whose in your way Where do you run (whoah) Where do you hide (whoah) When you all keep it locked inside Where do you run (whoah) Where do you hide (Whoah) When you all keep it trapped inside Where do you run (whoah) Where do you hide (whoah) Oh now Fire Away

Missing you, when I’m on the road But I’ll find you in my head Desert moon, shines its beauty through but I want you instead See you in my dreams tonight But baby it won’t be real I’m thinking of you and all fine things And the way you make me feel Oh, the way you make me feel Wonderin’ loose on this highway cruise Write the signs that lead the way Back to you, where I feel in tune And we’ll unwind harsh words we said I’ll see you in my dreams tonight But baby it won’t be real I’m thinking of you and all fine things And the way you make me feel I’ll see you in my dreams tonight But baby it won’t be real I’m thinking of you and all fine things And the way you make me feel Oh, the way you make me Ride this out with me I’ll be there on the other side Ride this out with me I’ll be there Ride this out with me I’ll be there on the other side Ride this out with me I’ll be there Ride Ride Ride Ride Ride yeah

Crusin’ with a steady wind As a crimson southern sun sets in Sparklin' water under sky Summer opens the doors on us tonight You, the passing boat on my mind Your wake rocks me off my track inside Baby oh I need Baby oh I need Baby oh I need you To sail back to me Escape the city pace, the bustlin' streets Sails hang high, clear day out at sea Foamin' water behind the boat A few glass bottles rolling all about Harbor lights as the dusk settles Fog rollin' into the sleepy moon I, the bobbing mooring in twilight You, the ropes that hold me tight Baby oh I need Baby oh I need Baby oh I need You You I need you I need you I need you

South of LA 04:07
Soarin’ smoothly thru the air, no trouble here, the day is clear Bright skies on the horizon out the windows of the plane Flying miles in the sky I feel insignificant I am one in a billion Like the stars, no one needs to know my name No one needs you when you’re far away You’re circling high above the towns below Open roads, canyons down the row Harbor view, clear the air with breaking waves Palm trees dot the coast, bright sand, everything else fades Oh I know I wanna go Somewhere south of LA Heading to the west How I long to be my best How long will I be away Goodbye to the east All those smiles won’t be the least What is this beast in me? Laughin’ in the breeze Pacific seas and easy ocean melodies Open roads, canyons in the row Harbor view, clear the air with breaking waves Palm trees dot the coast, bright sand, everything else fades Oh I know There’s a piece of me Somewhere South of LA But I’ll be coming home But I’ll be coming home But I’ll be coming home But I’ll be coming home Ooooo Ooooo

Waves 03:52
Easy breeze as the wind blows Over dunes where sea grass flows Toes siftin’ all through the sand Board by my side, it rests in hand Drifting slowly out to sea Gentle waves crashin’ all over me Ride the swells from coast to coast Here’s to adventure and one to toast Gently floating out to sea Let the waves, let them carry me Gently floating out to sea Let the waves, let them carry me Gently floating out to sea Let the waves Let them carry me home Periwinkles under my feet Seaweed washed up all on the street Sun and salt all in my hair Minnows passin’ on and take their share Seagulls circle high above Warm ocean water - I’m in love Quick rinse as I’m on my knees No fare here Mother Nature is for free Gently floating out to sea Let the waves, let them carry me Gently floating out to sea Let the waves, let them carry me Gently floating out to sea Let the waves Let them carry me home Dark clouds and patchy skies Will slowly pass us by Paddle on and all is fine All we need is time Dark clouds and patchy skies Will slowly pass us by Paddle on and all is fine All we need is time All we need is time Gently floating out to sea Let the waves, let them carry me Gently floating out to sea Let the waves, let them carry me Gently floating out to sea Let the waves Let them carry me home

You call me up and say you’re lonely In your foreign place when they’re not around People said that you were different But I said you were somethin’ to me anyhow You told me that you were so sorry And that you had been lookin’ into someone else I went home and told my story But no one believed the science between you and I If you pick me up again Then you’ll go lyin’ to your lover Lyin’ to your lover And your friends If you pick me up again Then I’ll go lyin’ to my lover Lyin’ to my lover And my friends We tried it once before but it always seemed Like you were on or smoking something else I opened up the door to your but it always seemed Like nothing was going through If you pick me up again Then you’ll go lyin’ to your lover Lyin’ to your lover And your friends If you pick me up again Then I’ll go lyin’ to my lover Lyin’ to my lover And my It’s your story, don’t vote for me I know, I know you want someone else If you pick me up again whoah hoo If you pick me up again whoah hoo If you pick me up again Then you’ll go lyin’ to your lover Lyin’ to your lover And your friends If you pick me up again Then I’ll go lyin’ to my lover Lyin’ to my lover And my friends

Island Eyes 04:42
The world is your stage with everything in place Your boat is at sea keeping a steady pace You don’t need much to catch your second wind Floating to the surface build up from within Pain ignites inside I’ll be by your side Enemies at the gates sudden shift in tide Stay in the moment and act on true belief Turn yourself around we’ll provide relief Take my hand I’ll spin you around We can dance for free we don’t need any sound Kick to new rhythms and shout outs to skies Stirrin’ up a melody open up your island eyes Keepin up, keep out of the way Movin’ up, move out of the way Take my hand I’ll spin you around We can dance for free we don’t need any sound Kick to new rhythms and shout outs to skies Stirrin’ up a melody open up your island eyes
