I'm locked inside
A land called Foolish Pride Where the man is always right He hates to talk but loves to fight Is that alright? On real cold days He loans us lots of hate But he says that we must pay To take it all away Is that okay? But I'm asking you, will you stay with me? In this land where we are free (Don't you know I know?)

(To stay with me) In this land where we are free And I know it's rough And you've had enough But one day we'll be happy 'Cause when I look into the future, I see danger in its eyes Babies die before they're born and no one ever smiles The writers and the artists all are paid to tell us lies They keep us locked inside, they keep us locked inside Oh how, oh how I need you, baby To keep me from going crazy I really need you, baby Need you to stay Oh how, oh how I need you, baby These people are so crazy I really need you, baby Need you to stay I can make a change I can start a fire Lord, make me love again Fill me with desire I can make a change I can start fire Make me love again Lord, thank you for desire And when I look into your pretty eyes, I almost want to cry I think about my life and I don't want to live a lie How I need you baby, I need you right by my side I need you tonight, I need you tonight Yeah How I need you, baby See, I can't let you go I need you On the other side On the other side I love you so and I'll never let you go On the other side |

So, you think I'm alone
But being alone's the only way to be When you step outside You spend life fighting for your sanity This is a cold war You better know what you're fighting for This is a cold war Do you know what you're fighting for?

I hear the drizzle of the rain
It's fallin' from my window And in the corners of my mind I hope that I'll get to see you again La-da die da-die da-die da-die, my friend I hear the colors in the flowers, oooh Just like the candle snuffed at dawn You're here, you're near, you're there and then you're gone La-da daa da-daa da-dum da-dum Suffering in sinking sand All the hurt See, I'm really lost, baby We suffered a rare, rare blue So much hurt On this Earth But you loved me And I really dared to love you too Perhaps what I mean to say is Is that it's amazing that your love was mine Oh, Maker, tell me did you know This love would burn so yellow Becoming orange and in it's time Explode from gray to black, then bloody wine? La-da die da-die da-die da-die Oh, Maker have you ever loved Or known just what it was? I can't imagine the bitter end Of all the beauty that we're living in Oh, no Suffering in sinking sand All the hurt See I'm pretty lost, baby We suffered a rare, rare blue So much hurt On this Earth But you loved me And I really dared to love you too Perhaps what I mean to say Is that it's amazing that your love was mine Lost inside a lonely world where love must pay the price Barely hear the sound of music to love and go dance to Now it's time for us to go and no one ever knows While I'm lookin' in your eyes Eyes are in my, eyes in my soul No one will know it but me |

May this song reach your heart
May your ears love the sweet melody Every note, every chord I've arranged them for you and me May the sound of my voice Be your guide, bring you closer to me Let us bathe in the noise Let the love in your heart speak to me For now, I'll pretend I'm holding your hand May this song reach your heart May this song reach your heart May this song reach your heart May this song journey on to you We met alone, forbidden in the city Running fast through time, like Tubman and John Henry But the time was wrong, illegal aliens moan It's such a pity that the city's just a danger zone Atomic blues bombing hearts like Iraqis in Babylon And the droid control will take your soul And rate it, berate, slay it You hate it and debate it but you don't get caught An outlaw outrunning the law, ha ha May the strings make you smile May they always remind you of me For now let's pretend I'm holding your hand May this song reach your heart May this song reach your heart May this song reach your heart May this song journey on for you [Kevin Barnes] Confusion is a walrus Yet there's still so much left for us to learn I hear the riot community approaching Take my hand, Jen, let's go talk to them |

Of Montreal
The way you are now You're never gonna make the bus Even though everybody's so impressed You've got "Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?" under your pillow Oh-ho I saw you spit on London Just like you were-a Peter Pan The way you are now You're never gonna make it in my kitchen Still everybody's so excited Last I was here I was convinced I was your favorite warrior Oh-ho I've got a terrible fixation Can't get it off the mind Don't want to really get to know it better Want to keep it in the realm of fantasy You wanted me just for a holiday Or was it to pad your resume? What do you give me but unwanted breakthroughs? Strange how certain details subvert everything I've got a terrible fixation Can't get it off the mind Don't really want to know it better Want to keep it in the realm of fantasy O-M-G W-T-T Aw girl, we been through hell about it Then I see our friends and everybody's so excited I'm standing over you eating Juicy Fruits Till it gets in your eye and your hair Oh-ho I've got a terrible fixation Can't get it off the mind Don't want to really get to know it better Want to keep it in the realm of fantasy I've got a terrible fixation Can't get it off the mind Don't want to really get to know it better Want to keep it in the realm of fantasy I've got a terrible fixation Can't get it off the mind Don't want to really get to know it better Want to keep it in the realm of fantasy I've got a terrible fixation Can't get it off the mind Don't want to really get to know it better Want to keep it in the realm of fantasy |

Fairly late at night
I wander off into a land You can go, but you mustn't tell a soul There's a world inside Where dreamers meet each other Once you go it's hard to come back Let me paint your canvas as you dance Dance in the trees (Dance) Paint mysteries The magnificent droid plays there (She plays there) Your magic mind (Your magic mind) Makes love to mine (Makes love to mine) I think I'm in love, angel Take me back to Wondaland I gotta get back to Wondaland (Take her back to Wondaland She thinks she left her underpants) Oh, take me back to Wondaland I gotta get back to Wondaland (Take her back to Wondaland) Take me back (She thinks she left her underpants) The grass grows inside The music floats you gently on your toes Touch the nose, he'll change your clothes to tuxedos Don't you freak and hide I'll be your secret Santa, do you mind? Don't resist The faerie gods will have a fit We should dance Dance in the trees (We'll dance) Paint mysteries (All dance) The magnificent droid plays there (She plays there) Your magic mind (Your magic mind) Makes love to mine (Makes love to mine) I think I'm in love, angel Take me back to Wondaland I gotta get back to Wondaland (Take me back to Wondaland She know she left her underpants) Oh, take me back to Wondaland I gotta get back to Wondaland (Take her back to Wondaland She thinks she left her underpants) (Hallelujah) This is your land (Hallelujah) This is my land (Hallelujah) We belong here, stay the night (Hallelujah) I am so inspired You touched my wires My supernova's shining bright Take me back to Wondaland I gotta get back to Wondaland (Take me back to Wondaland She thinks she left me underpants) Take me back to Wondaland I gotta get back to Wondaland (Take me back to Wondaland She thinks she left me underpants) Take me back to Wondaland I gotta get back to Wondaland (Take you back to Wondaland La la la la-la la-la) Take me back to Wondaland I gotta get back to Wondaland (Take you back to Wondaland You know she left her underpants) You know I love you, baby (This is your land) Yes, I need you (This is my land) Guess I wanna know it all (We belong here, stay the night) Take me back, I wanna stay the night (So inspired) I'm so inspired, baby (You touched my wires) Oh (My supernova shining bright) I wanna go I know you wanna go Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah Hallelujah |

Ooh
Early each morning he searched for her Till his feet became bloody and tired Her hologram photo stayed near to him Buried deep in the pits of his heart The lock of gray hair that she gave to him Stayed clutched in his fist through the night Dead or alive, she still yearned for him 'Cause even in darkness there's light Oh and one, oh one It's your time Lead them both back to one The sun has come (the sun has come) May your light lead them both back to one (both back to one) Indivisible sum Here's the book, now the saga's begun (He wonders if she is the one) (She wonders if he is the one) You're the one Cold in the cell, lost and shivering Gunshots in hallways unknown On the fifth floor, past the blue door Sat a chained 57821 Sir Greendown told his dear Cindi "Fight like Achilles in Troy I will show you the ways that I love you I saved you so you'd save the world 'Cause you're the one." Oh one It's your time Lead us all back to one The sun has come May your light lead them us all back to one (I won't lose you now) Indivisible sum Here's the book, now the saga's begun (I wonder if I am the one Wonder if I am the one) Oh, you're the one Oh oh one It's your time Lead us all back to one (You're the one) The sun has come May your light lead them us all back to one (May you Lord, lead us all back to one) Indivisible sum Here's the book, now the saga's begun (I wonder if I am the one I wonder if I am the one) You're the one Anthony Greendown, your Cindi Mayweather Will always be waiting for you Just as sure as the sunlight keeps beaming on your eyes She'll always be waiting for you |

Love is such a novelty
A rarely painted masterpiece A place few people go or ever know An underwater rocket love Exactly what I'm searching for You're brave enough to go Tell me so Say you'll go to Nirvana Will you leave Samsara? In the words of Dhammapada "Who will lead? Who will follow?" Our love will sail in this ark The world could end outside our window Let's find forever And write our name in fire on each others' hearts Love is not a fantasy A haiku written in Japanese A word too often used but not believed Witness the interaction of The flood, the sea, the sky, the dove Time erodes the shore but not our love Say you'll go to Nirvana Will you leave Samsara? Or in the words of Dhammapada "Who will lead? Who will follow?" Our love will sail in this ark The world could end outside our window Let's find forever And write our name in fire on each others' hearts Doot-doo-doo, doo-doot doot-doo Doot-doot-doo, doo-doot-doot doo-doo Doot-doo-doo, doo-doot doot-doo, Doot-doot-doo, do-doot-doot doo-doo Our love will sail in this ark The world could end outside our window Let's find forever And write our name in fire on each others' hearts Our love will sail in this ark The world could end today (outside our window) We'll find a way (Let's find forever) Name in fire on each others' hearts Hearts Doot-doo-doo, doo-doot doot-doo The world could end today Doot-doot-doo, doo-doot-doot doo doo Our love will sail in this ark The world could end outside our window We'll find forever Hmm Oooh, oooh Love is not a fantasy It's more for you You and me (Ahh, ahh, ooh You're on your way More now than any knew Oooh, will you go or stay and play? Oooh) |

The only love my heart approaches
Your tender eyes fill mine with roses I drink your wine And never will my heart dry inside Walking like a lonely fool in Prague Singing a love song and the words I wrote I wrote for two Gentle as a lullaby at night I hear you humming private melodies You're near BaBopByeYa Where are you my darling? MyBopByeYa Can you hear me calling? Rewind the clock, our time's approaching Give us the eyes to guide us most when We have no light to see throughout all our darkest days And troubled ways Meet me Meet me Meet me at the door by the garden Meet me at the door by the garden Meet me at the door by the garden I'll be at the door BaBopByeYa There's no one above you BaBopByeYa I won't leave without you (Ojos miran hacia la luna Evitan un mundo tan triste Dominado bajo el odio Donde el amor no existe Dame en su reino refugio De la oscuridad peligrosa Espero en la esquina, Querida Busco la llamanda amorosa) Like a lonely matador at night Fighting in the darkness for the light I won't stop until I hear the call of love And when I'm alone, you are near to me You have made a home in my memory There you will abide for forever And I will keep you warm in the night (Like a lonely matador at night Fighting in the darkness for the light) (Ojos miran hacia la luna Busco la llamanda amorosa Ojos miran hacia la luna Busco la llamanda amorosa) I heed echoes of your laughter in the corners of my mind While I memorize each detail of your intricate design In your hair, there is a symphony Your lips, a string quartet They tell stories of the Neon Valley Street Where we first met Now somewhere time pursues us As we love in technicolor But I dwell in silence on your words Which move me like none other This time I shall be unafraid And violence will not move me This time we will relax This time we will stay in our movie (I will be there for you) I see beyond tomorrow This life of strife and sorrow My freedom calls and I must go I must go I must go I must go |
