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

Sail Back to Me
03:36
|
|||
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

Lyin' to your Lover
04:19
|

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
