There's a way I feel right now
Wish you'd help me, don't know how
We're all nuts so who helps who
Some help when no one's got a clue

Baby, why don't we?
Baby, why don't we?

There's a place I'd like to go
When you get there then I'll know
There's a place I know you've been
Here's a wagon, get on it

Baby, why don't we?
Baby, why don't we?
Baby, why don't we?
Baby, why don't we? Why don't we?

You won't see me, You won't see me
There you are and here I stand
Tryin' to make you feel my hand
You won't see me, You won't see me
I ring the doorbell in your mind
But it's locked from the outside
You won't see me, You won't see me
You don't live there anyway
But I knock on it all day
You won't see me, You won't see me

There's a place I go,
But you're not there,
And I'm supposed to know
How to get to where
You're gonna be
But you don't even know
So I'm flakin'
While you're shakin' it
With every stone you fly
Without a mind, without a spine
What is it that you wanna find

[Solo]

There's a place I go,
But you're not there,
And I'm supposed to know
How to get to where
You're gonna be
But you don't even know
So I'm flalin'
While you're sailin' off
Without a course in mind
Without a mind, without a dock
What is it that you wanna find

There's a place I'd like to go
When you get there then I'll know
There's a place I know you've been
Here's a wagon, get on it

Baby, why don't we?
Baby, why don't we? Why don't we?

You won't see me, You won't see me
There you are and here I stand
Tryin' to make you feel my hand
You won't see me, You won't see me
I ring the doorbell in your mind
But it's locked from the outside
You won't see me, You won't see me
You don't live there anyway
But I knock on it all day
You won't see me, You won't see me

Try and believe, I thought I'd show you
The way tomorrow, please just peek at the ground
I been achin' just to go to
Wherever your head's at just please bring it down

Things I'd like to show you
'Cause you don't even know you, do you, girl?
I need to feel your angle
'Cause things don't wanna mangle, answer me, girl

Take your pick, you pick the bark off
Stopped you and we need to back to turn things around
Things above and it's not far off
That everyone will puke and cry please come down

Come on down, come on down
Come on down, come on down, come on down
Come on down

Things I'd like to show you
'Cause you don't even know you, do you, girl?
You sift through all your feelings
Not the one who's feeling, it all, girl

It's creeping over your palm
Now can you keep it that calm, time to wake, girl
I need to feel your angle
'Cause things don't wanna mangle, answer me girl

Don't do it, give in this time
Because without it things will start goin' down
I try to stop you 'cause I know why
You been smilin' lately dancin' around

Come on down, come on down
Come on down, come on down come on down
Come on down, come on down, come on down
Come on down

There's things I'd like to show you
'Cause you don't even know you, do you, girl?
There's things you gotta do here
Each little thing too near, let 'em go, girl

You sift through all your feelings
You're not the one who's feeling, it all, girl
It's all so big and twisted
Please come help me fix it, snap out of it, girl

Come on down, come on down
Come on down, come on down, come on down
Come on down, come on down, come on down
Come on down, come on down, come on down
Come on down

. . .


I been thinking through the night
Everybody's so uptight
People hurt and that's their right
Cut 'em all loose, think I might
Stewin', hangin' out in town
And my head whirlin' around
Don't trust your mind, it'll let you down
Don't have a thing to go on

I don't know a thing to say to you...

There's a time and there's a place
It's not now, it's time to pace
Things I'd say but just can't face
All it means to say them
I could believe the things I feel
Then tomorrow get the same deal
Am I acting on something real?
Or am I blowing it again?

. . .


Hey, I live for that look
Hey, is that all it took?
I know why, I know why

Hey, it's all on your head
Hey, is that what you said?
I know why, I know why

You run around and you won't see tomorrow
See today, no way
Time to pay up for not having a time to even say

Hey, it's goin' no place
Hey, don't give me that face
I know why, I know why

Hey, be better this time
Hey, get out of my mind
I know why, I know why

You run around and you won't see tomorrow
See today, no way
Time to pay up for not having a single thing to say
Tell me now, tell me now

. . .


Things happen and no one told me
You can't think, you can't drink it
You laughed again, then you rode me
I won't drop it, you can't stop it, now

Hey lady, where you goin'?
Hey lady, why ain't it snowing?
Were you riding the chair alone?
Hey lady, where's your friend?

Hey lady, blew you off again
Don't worry, I'll ride you up to the top
Hey lady, sorry, that's the last stop

I'll see you, I'll see you all the way down
I'll see you in the large flying cloud
I'll see you, I'll see you all the way down
In the large flying cloud

. . .


Hey, what's on your mind?
Hey, what's that got left behind?
Tension running, how? What for?
Don't think I'm into you anymore

Falling off the pace
Run into you 'most every place
And I hardly go outside
Let's take a little ride

I don't know, man, you decide
How'd you pin that one on me?
Haven't even done it yet
How can that be?

My move or do I chuck it?
Stare it in the face or duck it
Get me a bucket I disappear I would agree

That's a distinct possibility
Wrap my leg around the table
I'll make a trip when I'm more stable

Gotta cut that one leg free
Hobblin' around, hold out for me
I'll leave the house when I'm less scared
Don't make me go, I'm not prepared

Hey, what's on your mind?
Hey, what's that got left behind?
Was it me you saved that for?
What's down at the core?

Hey, I seen that look before
Weren't you using that on me?
Do you slap that glaze
On every guy you see?

My move or do I chuck it?
Stare it in the face or duck it
Get me a bucket

I don't know why you see me
I don't know a thing to be
My move or do I chuck it?
Stare it in the face or duck it
Get me a bucket

. . .


I saw you down across the water
You're floating safely in the way you do
Then I scrammed before you saw me
I've gotta keep thinking you wanted to

By the shoreline, will you be fine?
Or will it cover you?
And when you taste it, will you embrace it?
What will you let it do to you?

Grab a look across the water
We grab a smile and then you're gone a while
With you it'd be across the water
When I'm losing it, I like your style

By the shoreline, will you be fine?
Or will it cover you?
And when you taste it, will you embrace it?
What will you let it do to you?

Come on, baby and drive me out of mind
And mind if I come home along with you
And see what you do

This is crazy and nothing more I want to
The sea is not the safest place to sit
And be so spacy

Scary things across the water
You'd never know till they have their way with you
You won't catch me dip in the water
However much I want to play with you

And don't stay in long
No one's that strong enough, not to crumble
Whenever the water wants you

Don't be so crazed, I'm just tryin' to save
You from losing everything you've got
This is no time to rot

Don't be fooled by all the coolness rushing by
Don't let it grab your mind
Pull out now or you will find

All you strive for
Nothing, gone, no more
You're his servant now

. . .


I know these things have passed you by
I know it's tough to even try
It's such a different kind of scene
I know you don't know what I mean

Yeah, well, I tried to tell you before
I know all you want is more
I'll always tell you different stuff
No matter what, won't be enough

I figure, it'll be cool sometime
After I've cooked everyone I find
I can only take it to that certain place
It's just not cool, look at your face

Whenever you get in my face
There's something strange I start to taste

Hold back, hold back, hold back
Hold back, hold back, hold back

It's all restrain I'm gettin' these days
Is it okay or am I out of place?

So every time you see me now
You psyche for a minute 'til you remember how
I crawl here inside in mind with muck
You stopped smiling, remember how everything sucked?

Dancing around what I could say
'Cause I just can't live that way
Hold back, that's not enough to stay

Hold back, hold back, hold back
Hold back, hold back, hold back
Hold back, hold back, hold back
Hold back, hold back, hold back

. . .


There never really is a good time
There's always nothing much to say
Pretty good, not doing that fine
Getting up most everyday

Steppin' out, I tried to fix it
Pulled a thumb out of that hole
Give me ingredients, I'll mix it
How can you move without a goal?

There never really is a good time
There's always nothing much to say
Pretty good, not doing that fine
Getting up most everyday

An excuse is all you're in for
The abuse is all you crave
Sure you know just what is in store
Wait and see if I'll behave

There never really is a good time
There's always nothing much to say
Pretty good, not doing that fine
Getting up most everyday

There's a time, just let me know now
When it's with you I'll be glad
That I was right there just to show you
At least it's more than what you had

There never really is a good time

. . .


I picture things a certain way.
Then go back to it another day.
The green mind said it's okay...
Cause you know where they're gonna be.
All's you have to do is come with me.
It's cool, they're probably asleep.

On the outside,
that's where they always hide.
Come to my side
and I'll introduce you to...
some of their kind.
I know you've always tried.
And now it's your time to take in their point of view,
though it's nothing new.

I been bouncin' off the wall,
I can't handle them for long.
They're cool, but I need you...
On a certain level I think they're great,
but on another I can't relate...
to anything they do.

On the outside,
might be with them tonight.
Unless you decide to come n' I'll check out you.
Hangin' heavy such a routine,
I've just begun to forget
why I seldom try to break out of their scene.
And now I gotta work on you,
so the frogs will hang and they'll always be hangin'...
Now we're here, what do we do?

I've been sortin' through the pros,
and cons of your eyes, farewell toads.
Can't you help move it along?
I been pickin' through my thoughts,
it's a shame my judgement rots...
and I sure feel rotten long...

[Solo]

On the outside...
well, it'll be a while.
I gotta unfry 'fore I pick it up with you.(Help me)
Do I need that stable care?
Don't I know that they'll be there?
Does that count now you've appeared?
Do I need that stable core?
Or do I jump for something more?
Are you all that I fear?

I been pickin' through my thoughts,
it's a shame my judgement rots...
and I sure feel rotten long...
It's a call that's tough to make.
It could be a big mistake.
Can't you help move it along?
If I keep stewin' 'bout how I feel,
eventually you'll split,
then I won't have to deal.(Sounds like a plan)
But it's kind of lame to let it slide,
knowin' either way I haven't tried.
Can't figure out where it all stands...
In a green mind...

Hot Burrito #2

[No lyrics]

. . .


Come on with me, tell me all about it
Come on with me, tell me all about it
Come on with me and tell me all about it

I needed to feel you there oh, you'll doubt it
Come on with me, tell me all about it
Come on with me, tell me all about it
Come on with me and tell me all about it

I needed to feel you there, oh, you'll doubt it
Just come on with me, tell me all about it
Come on with me, tell me all about it

Please don't leave me not like this
What about all that we'll miss
Done it all and what a waste
I don't want this rage misplaced

Please don't leave me, not just yet
'Cause it's brutal, can't forget
Nothin' else we could have done
Still it's killin' me you're gone

Well, come on with me, tell me all about it
I needed to feel you there oh, you'll doubt it
Come on with me and tell me all about it

I needed to feel you there never doubt it
Just come on with me, tell me all about it
Come on with me, tell me all about it
Come on, come on
