Standing in line
To see the show tonight
And there's a light on
Heavy glow
By the way I tried to say
I'd be there... waiting for
Dani the girl
is singing songs to me
Beneath the marquee... overload

Steak Knife Caro Shark
Con Job Boot Cut

Skin that flick
She's such a little DJ
Get there quick
By street but not the freeway
turn that trick
to make a little leeway
Beat that nic
But not the way that we play

Dog Town Blood Bath
Rib Cage Soft Tail

Standing in line
To see the show tonight
And there's a light on
Heavy glow
By the way I tried to say
I'd be there... waiting for

Black Jack Dope Dick
Pawn Shop Quick Pick

Kiss that Dyke
I know you want to hold one
Not on strike
But I'm about to bowl one
Bite that mic
I know you never stole one
Girls that like
A story so I told one

Song Bird Main Line
Cash Back Hard top

Standing in line
To see the show tonight
And there's a light on
Heavy glow
By the way I tried to say
I'd be there... waiting for
Dani the girl
is singing songs to me
Beneath the marquee... of her soul
By the way I tried to say
I'd be there... waiting for

Chant

Standing in line
To see the show tonight
And there's a light on
Heavy glow
By the way I tried to say
I'd be there... waiting for
Dani the girl
is singing songs to me
Beneath the marquee... of her soul
By the way I tried to say
I know you
Looking for
Standing in line
To see the show tonight
And there's a light on
Heavy glow
By the way I tried to say
I'd be there... waiting for

I
Saw your face 
Elegant and tired 
Cut it from the chase 
Still I so admire 
Blood shut your smile 
Delicate and wild 
Forgive me she was stoned 
Rip right through me 

Still I waited the chance of a lifetime 
Go and get here I got her on my mind 
Nothing better the feeling is so fine 
Simply put I saw your love stream flow 

Come on baby cause there's no name for 
Give it up and I got what I came for 
Universally speaking I 
Take it back and you make me nervous 
Nothing better than love and service 
Universally speaking I 
Went in the long run 


Saw your crying 
Dying to get high 
Two of a kind 
It's our hands tonight 

Still I waited the chance of a lifetime 
Go and get her I got her on my mind 
All the better the feeling it goes fine 
Simply put I saw your love stream flow 

Come on baby cause there's no name for 
Give it up and I got what I came for 
Universally speaking I 
Take it back and you make me nervous 
Nothing better than love and service 
Universally speaking I 
Went in the long run 

Still I waited the chance of a lifetime 
Go and get her I got her on my mind 
All the better the feeling it goes fine 
Simply put I saw your love stream flow 
Simply put I saw your love stream flow 

. . .



This is the place where all 
The junkies go 
Where time gets fast 
But everything gets slow 

Can I get some vaseline 
Step into a modern scene 
Take a chance of that 
Which seems to be 
The making of a dream 

I don't want to do it 
Like my daddy did 
I don't want to give it 
To my baby's kid 

This is my calling... 

This is the place where all 
The devils plead 
Their case to take from you 
What they need 
Can I isolate your gene 
Can I kiss your dopamine 
In a way I wonder 
If she's living in a magazine 

I don't want to say it 
If it isn't so 
I don't want to weigh it 
But i've got to know 

This is my calling... 

I saw you out there yesterday 
What did you want to say 
A perfect piece of DNA 
Caught in a flashing ray 
I caught you out there in the fray 
What did you want to say 
A master piece of DNA 
Caught in a flashing ray 

Can I smell your gasoline 
Can I pet your wolverine 
On the day my best friend died 
I could not get my copper clean 

I don't want to take it up 
With little Joe 
I don't want to fake it 
But i've gotta know 

This is my calling... 

I am a misfit 
I'm born with all of it 
The fucking ultimate 
Of love inside the atom split 

I'm in a flash ray 
A mash of DNA 
Another poppin' Jay 
Who thinks he's got 

. . .



I got dosed by you and 
Closer than most to you and 
What am I supposed to do 
Take it away I never had it anyway 
Take it away and everything will be okay 
In you a star is born and 
You cut a perfect form and 
Someone forever warm 
Lay on lay on lay on lay on 
Lay on lay on lay on lay on 
We're upon the Nile where she died 
All I ever wanted was your light 
Deep inside the cave where I can hide 
All I ever wanted was your light 
Show love with no remorse and 
Climb on to your seahorse and 
This ride is right on course 
This is the way I wanted it to be with you 
This is the way that I knew that it would be with you 
Lay on lay on lay on lay on 
Lay on lay on lay on lay on 
We're upon the Nile where she died 
All I ever wanted was your light 
Deep inside the cave where I can hide 
All I ever wanted was your light 
I got dosed by you and 
Closer than most to you and 
What am I supposed to do 
Take it away I never had it anyway 
Take it away and everything will be okay 
We're upon the Nile where she died 
All I ever wanted was your light 
Deep inside the cave where I can hide 

. . .



I'm an ocean in your bedroom 
Make you feel warm 
Make you want to re-assume 
Now we know it all for sure 

I'm a dance hall dirty breakbeat 
Make the snow fall 
Up from underneath your feet 
Not alone, I'll be there 
Tell me when you want to go 

I'm a meth lab first rehab 
Take it all off 
And step inside the running cab 
There's a love that knows the way 

I'm the rainbow in your jail cell 
All the memories of 
Everything you've ever smelled 
Not alone, I'll be there 
Tell me when you want to go 

Sideways falling 
More will be revealed my friend 
Don't forget me 
I can't hide it 
Come again make me excited 

I'm an inbred and a pothead 
Two legs that you spread 
Inside the tool shed 
Now we know it all for sure 

I could show you 
To the free field 
Overcome and more 
Will always be revealed 
Not alone, I'll be there 
Tell me when you want to go 

Sideways falling 
More will be revealed my friend 
Don't forget me 
I can't hide it 
Come again get me excited 

I'm the bloodstain 
On your shirt sleeve 
Coming down and more are coming to believe 
Now we know it all for sure 

Make the hair stand 
Up on your arm 
Teach you how to dance 
Inside the funny farm 
Not alone, I'll be there 

. . .


Can I get your hand to write on
Just a piece of lead to bite on
What am I to fly my kite on
Do you want to flash your light on
Take a look its on display - for you
Coming down no not today

Did you meet your fortune teller
Get it off with no propellor
Do it up it's always stellar
What a way to finally smell her
Pick it up it's not to strong - for you
Take a piece and pass it on

Fly away on my Zephyr
I feel it more then ever
And in this perfect weather
We'll find a place together
Fly on my wing

Riddlin on liberator
Find a way to be a skater
Rev it up to levitator
Super mainly aviator
Take a look its on display - for you
Coming down no not today

Fly away on my Zephyr
I feel it more then ever
And in this perfect weather
We'll find a place together
In the water where the scent of my emotion
All the world will pass me by
Fly away on my Zephyr
We'll find a place together

Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa - do you
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa whoa - won't you
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Fly away on my Zephyr
I feel it more then ever
And in this perfect weather
We'll find a place together

In the water where the scent of my emotion
All the world will pass me by
Fly away on my Zephyr
We're gonna live forever
Forever

Can't stop addicted to the shin dig 
Cop top he says I'm gonna win big 
Choose not a life of imitation 
Distant cousin to the reservation 
Defunkt the pistol that you pay for 
This punk the feeling that you stay for 
In time I want to be your best friend 
Eastside love is living on the westend 
Knock out but boy you better come to 
Don't die you know the truth is some do 
Go write your message on the pavement 
Burnin' so bright I wonder what the wave meant 
White heat is screaming in the jungle 
Complete the motion if you stumble 
Go ask the dust for any answers 
Come back strong with 50 belly dancers 

Chorus: 
The world I love 
The tears I drop 
To be part of 
The wave can't stop 
Ever wonder if it's all for you 
The world I love 
The trains I hop 
To be part of 
The wave can't stop 
Come and tell me when it's time to 

Sweetheart is bleeding in the snowcone 
So smart she's leading me to ozone 
Music the great communicator 
Use two sticks to make it in the nature 
I'll get you into penetration 
The gender of a generation 
The birth of every other nation 
Worth your weight the gold of meditation 
This chapter's going to be a close one 
Smoke rings I know your going to blow one 
All on a spaceship persevering 
Use my hands for everything but steering 
Can't stop the spirits when they need you 
Mop tops are happy when they feed you 
J. Butterfly is in the treetop 
Birds that blow the meaning into bebop 

(Repeat Chorus) 

Wait a minute I'm passing out 
Win or lose just like you 
Far more shocking 
Than anything i ever knew 
How about you 
10 more reasons 
Why i need somebody new just like you 
Far more shocking than anything I ever knew 
Right on cue 

Can't stop addicted to the shin dig 
Cop top he says I'm gonna win big 
Choose not a life of imitation 
Distant cousin to the reservation 
Defunkt the pistol that you pay for 
This punk the feeling that you stay for 
In time I want to be your best friend 
Eastside love is living on the westend 
Knock out but boy you better come to 
Don't die you know the truth is some do 
Go write your message on the pavement 
Burnin' so bright I wonder what the wave meant 

Kick start the golden generator 
Sweet talk but don't intimidate her 
Can't stop the gods from engineering 
Feel no need for any interfering 
Your image in the dictionary 
This life is more than ordinary 
Can I get 2 maybe even 3 of these 
Come from space 
To teach you of the pliedes 
Can't stop the spirits when they need you 

. . .



Something inside the cards 
I know is right 
Don't want to live 
Somebody else's life 
This is what I want to be 
And this is what I give to you 
Because I get it free 
She smiles while I do my time 

I could die for you 
Oh this life I choose 

I'm here to be your only go-between 
To tell you of the sights 
These eyes have seen 
What I really want to do is 
Turn it into motion 
Beauty that I can't abuse 
You know that I'd use my senses to 
You can see that 
It's only everywhere 
I'd take it all and then 
I'd find a way to share 

Come along and go 
Along with me 
Wander with me yo 
It's all for free 

I could die for you 
Whatchu wanna do 
Oh this life I choose 

Come again and tell me 
Where you want to go 
What it means for me 
To be with you alone 
Close the door and 
No one has to know 
How we are 

Come along and go 
Along with me 
Wander with me yo 
It's all for free 

I could die for you 
Whatchu want to do 

. . .



Things will never be the same 
Still I'm awfully glad I came 
Resonating in the shape of things to come 
Never waiting when I know there's only one 

Messed it up but rest assured 
No one ever thinks they're cured 
Just a minute while I reinvent myself 
Make it up and then I take it off the shelf 

Pre Chorus: 
Over the laws of light 
Over the moon by midnight 
Let's do it all this time 
Everyone wishing well we go 

Chorus: 
Everyone knows anything goes 
We are the lotus kids 
Better take note of this 
For the story 

The rising moon is on the shine 
The blood of scorpio's a nine 
Like the fear that's in the eyes of every doe 
Say it now cause John and Jane would like to know 

Is it safe inside your head 
Songs to serenade the dead 
All along I said I know no enemies 
Mix it up until there are no pedigrees 

(Pre Chorus) 

(Chorus) 

(Pre Chorus) 

Enter the rolling tide 
Over the ocean so wide 
Let's do it all this time 
Everyone wishing well we go 


. . .



Throw away your television 
Time to make this clean decision 
Master waits for it's collision now 
It's a repeat of a story told 
It's a repeat and it's getting old 

Throw away your television 
Make a break big intermission 
Recreate your super vision now 
It's a repeat of a story told 
It's a repeat and it's getting old 

Chorus: 
Renegades with fancy gauges 
Slay the plague for it's contagious 
Pull the plug and take the stages 
Throw away your television now 

Throw away your television 
Take the noose off your ambition 
Reinvent your intuition now 
It's a repeat of a story told 
It's a repeat and it's getting old 

(Chorus) 

Throw away your television 
Salivate to repetition 
Levitate this ill condition now 

. . .

I see you in the park 
You're always wearing dark or blue 
My dawg and me 
And anyone from any other crew 
I am small but I am strong 
I'll get it on with you 
If you want me to 
What else can I do 
Everyone would take a cue from anything you do 
If you want them to 
What else can it do 
I dont' want to fight 
I want to get along with you 
This time of nights for singing songs about the love from you 

Cabron

I come around and make peace get down have a barbecue 
Let’s keep the moon awake and do electric boogaloo 
I am small but I am strong 
You see I’m just like you 
If you only knew 
That I’m just like you 
All the world would take a cue from anything you do 
If you only knew 
That they’re just like you 
I don’t want to fight 
I want to get along with you 
This time of nights for singing songs about the love from you 

I don’t want to fight 
I want to get along with you 
This time of nights for singing songs about the love from you

This is my time 
This is my tear 
I can see clearly now 
That this is not a place 
For playing solitaire 
Tell me where you want me 
This is my time 
This is my tear 

Comin' on strong 
Baudelaire 
Seems to me like 
All the world gets high 
When you take a dare 
Let it rise before you 
This is my time 

Chorus: 
All in all I'm 
Loving every rise and fall 
The sun will make and I will take 
Breath to be sure of this 
In the end 
All will be forgiven when 
Surrender rises high and I 
Gave what I came to give 
Say it now because you never know 

Devil may cry devil may care 
Distiller's got a scream 
And now I know just why 
When she's movin' air 
Can you feel the voltage 
This is my time 
California skies 
Got room to spare 
This is my time 

(Chorus) 

Take it outside 
Take it out there 
Seems to me like 
All the world gets high 
When you take a dare 
In the final moment 
This is my time 


. . .



I've got myself 
In a masochistic hold 
Why don't you let go 
Shake it off 
Just to redirect my flow 
Come on let's go 

Sit up straight 
I'm on a double date 
I've got to find my way 
Into the light, heavy, middle weight 
We don't stop rock around the clock 
Motor mouthing off 
In front of every other road block 

Come again and tell me 
What you're going thru 
Like a girl who only knew 
Her child was due 

Memories of everything 
Of lemon trees on mercury 
Come to me with remedies 
From five or six of seven seas 
You always took me with a smile 
When I was down 
Memories of everything 
That blew thru 

Looking up into 
A reverse vertigo 
What an undertow 
Give it up 
Another stubborn scorpio 
Come on, let's go 

Sit up straight 
I'm on a double date 
I've got to find my way 
Into the light, heavy, middle weight 
We don't stop rock around the clock 
Motor mouthing off 
In front of every other road block 

Come again and tell me 
What you're going thru 
Like a girl who only knew 
Her child was due 
To the moon she gave 
Another good review 
Turn around and look at me 

. . .



I Change the key from C to D 
You see to me it's just a minor thing 
He knows everything 
To readjust you've got to trust 
That all the fuss is just a minor thing 
And I'm a minor king 
He knows everything 

You've got your bit part, Mozart 
Hot dart acceleration 
Pop art, pistol chasin' 
Cat fight intimidation 

To read a mind you've got to 
Redefine the line to make your circle sing 
He knows everything 
You make a sound 
The spell is bound to come around 
It's just a minor thing 

He knows everything 
It's just a minor thing 
And I'm a minor king 
He knows everything 

You've got your bit part, Mozart 
Hot dart acceleration 
Pop art, pistol chasin' 
Cat fight intimidation 
All out interfacing 
Black star motivation 
Vampire sugar junkie 

. . .



Shiver for me girl 
Deliver for me my darling 
Pushin' up to you 
A river that runs right thru you 
Swim for your smile 
In a blue rock quarry 
Make it for me baby 
You won't be sorry 
Shiver for my now 
Deliver for me my darling 

Chorus: 
Miles and miles of nether worlds I roam 
Settle for love you're never far from home 
Carry me down into the waters of 
Carry me down into the waters of love 
Two of us were made of angels dust 
I've been around 
But not around enough 

Shadow my free form 
A woman that I could keep warm 
Quiver for me girl 
Give me your head and shoulders 
Shot from the pages of love and glory 
Sleeping next to you and I'm in your story 
Shadow my free form 
A woman that I could keep warm 

(Chorus) 

Let's go 
I know, I make it for two 
Intuitions only what you take from it 
I know, I make it for two 
You were there and I was fortunate 
I know, I make it for two 

Shiver for me now 
Deliver for me my darling 
A living that I could 
Be giving to you my sweet love 
Swim for your smile 
In a blue rock quarry 
Make it for me baby 
You won't be sorry 
Shot from the pages of 
Love and glory 
Sleeping next to you 
And I'm in your dream 


. . .



Does it go from east to west 
Body free and a body less 
Come again just to start a fresh 
Once again to find a home 
In the moment of the meantime 

Dropping in coming through the mesh 
Checking in just to get it blessed 
Hard to leave when it's picturesque 
Find a form that's free the roam 
Where you coming from 
Where you going 

Do it all then it all again 
Make it up and you make a friend 
Paddle on just around the bend 
Find a place where you can see 
All the mamas and the papas 

Take a chance on a recommend 
Hard as hell just to comprehend 
Disbelief that I do suspend 
Easy now to find a breeze 
Where you come from 
Where you going 

We all want to tell her 
Tell her that we love her 
Venice gets a queen 
Best i've ever seen 
We all want to kiss her 
Tell her that we miss her 
Venice gets a queen 
Best i've ever 

I know you said you don't believe 
In god do you still disagree 
Now that it's time for you to leave 
G.L.O.R.I.A 
Is love my friend 

Your stylish mess of silver hair 
A woman of your kind is rare 
Your uniform returns to air 
G.L.O.R.I.A 
Is love my friend 

And now it's time for you to go 
You taught me most of what I know 
Where would I be without you Glo 
G.L.O.R.I.A 
Is love my friend 

I see you standing by the see 
The waves you made will always be 
A kiss goodbye forever you leave 
G.L.O.R.I.A
