Now if you ever think twice
about takin our advice
to live on day to day.
Aw now woman with the golden eyes,
how can we make you realize
that we live on day to day?

Runnin wild on a foggy day
can't see two feet in front of me.
But I'll always say,
we live with danger everyday (the bomb)
there may never be another way
to see into the unknown of any day.

So we live on day to day.
Yes we live on day to day.



Live every minute of your life my friend.
you never know when it may end.
But I'll always say,
live every second of your life my friend
at least you'll know it did begin,
after the fog blows away.

So we live on day to day.
Yes we live on day to day.

Aw now woman with the golden eyes,
how can I make you realize
that we live on day to day?

They call us rough, gaudy and crude
ain't got no edicate, ain't got no cuth
we got our own way to see the truth
why should we complicate and lose our
youth

We help each other to find the truth
we help each other you can too
we help each other when we're tired and blue
if you help others they'll help you

Tell me who you can call for
when you're in trouble man
why don't you give each other
a helpin hand

We're a livin example of this practice brother
we helped ourselves by helpin each other
don't try for peace of mind by beingun aware


when you see life in danger for heaven's sake, care
they tell us that progress is definitely there
well yea we know we're goin ya'll but have
you thought about where

Yea we're proud healthy happy and free
we fly the cosmos of humanity
just like our father's together we stand
to hell with evil it'll all be damned
All be damned

We help each other to find the truth
we help each other you can too
we help each other when we're tired and blue
if you help others they'll help you

CHORUS

Oh Uncle Lijiah, Uncle Lijiah
He's still alive
Oh Uncle Lijiah, Uncle Lijiah
A hundred and five

There was a time early in life
When he gambled to gain
And he carried a knife
And he was winnin' that very night
He cussed the devil, yes he cussed him good
He swore he'd lick 'em
Yes he swore he could
And he dared him to come to
Him if he would Yeah

CHORUS

It was early in the mornin'
When he got to bed
To rest his weary gamblin' head
When he heard the angry words
His pappy said


"Lijiah go and fetch some wood!"
He heard his words
And up he stood
Even tho it hurt he knew he should

CHORUS

Outside he heard the rattle of chains
And he ran from someone
He thought insane
As he heard the devil
Callin' out his name
The devil grabbed his suspenders well
And he trembled
As he felt the hand from hell
And he let out with a hairy yell

He jumped in bed with his
Maw and Paw
And he told 'em that
The devil was in Arkansas
And he told 'em he'd
Quit gamblin'
Or break the law

Work all day, party all night
tryin our best just to make things right
the stars are turnin and the world is
burnin
this fire's just a justice flight

Bring you to our hearts throw you to the
sky
all you do is wonder why
we'll try to reveal that magic seal
but always remember that we are real

The thickness of water
the wind of air
a pinch of fire and the potions there
to make our miracles
to make your happy smiles
to make light year miles
to make us what we are


To make you aware magic is there
or do you care what we can share
believe in spirits yes believe your near it
we're on earth to learn what love is worth

Feel the power a saint can feel
then remember that you are real
let's be together let's be as one
we'll shine as bright as any sun

The thickness of water
the wind of air
a pinch of fire and the potions there
to make our miracles
to make your happy smiles
to make light year miles
to make us what we are

There's a girl that I recall
In the hills of Arkansas
Her eyes were green, her eyes were brown
She had the prettiest eyes around
Then we walked
And the beauty of the land
Times were and good and times were bad
But times was one thing
We both had. Sure was

She turned me on to love that night
She turned me on to what was right
She turned me on to love that night
She held me close. She held me tight

So tight



Oh lucky days and lovely nights
We saw the beauty
>From the mountainsides
There came a fall
There came a spring
There came our love
Can ya hear it sing

Sure can

Take a chance

We're having an earthquake
we're goin insane.
A California earthquake
has been shakin our brains.

We're havin an earthquake
and some think it's fun.
But in an earthquake
there's nowhere to run.

But the big one's still comin,
yea, it's on its way.

California earthquake
shakin our heads
yea we're havin an earthquake
on our water-beds.

California earthquake
is breakin the ground.
We're havin an earthquake


what a crazy sound.

But the big one's still comin
yea, it's on its way.

We're havin an earthquake
we're goin insane.
A California earthquake
has been shakin our brains.

We're havin an earthquake
and some think it's fun.
But in an earthquake
there's nowhere to run.

But the big one's still coming,
yea, it's on its way.

Spring days to summer days
the heat wave is here
let's run free you and me
it's that time of the year

Birds swoon and flowers bloom
it's time to mate if it ain't too late
on summer beaches women teach us
that in heat we all relate, all relate

Less clothes on women
from the warm skies of heaven
the season of creation
comes with spring vacation

Clubs are rockin, everybodies hoppin
there are parties all over town


don't matter who you are, if you haven't
got a car
you can hitch to get around - get around

Get out of the house have some fun
burn your skin in the summer sun
I'm happy now that winter's done
cause now I'm free, free to run

Less clothes on women
from the warm skies of heaven
the season of creation
comes with spring vacation
I tell ya that there's much anticipation
yes for nature's chain reaction
and it comes with spring vacation
all across the nation

Old Raven had a lunch of cheese.
And sly fox did smell it in the breeze
The fox looked up and sweetly spoke

O Raven, on your perch of oak.
Your coat is black and your beak is yellow
If only now your voice were mellow
Yes if only your voice were mellow
You'd be the fairest. Be the fairest
Be the fairest, in the woods.

Ole raven overjoyed by praise
And sure he'd earned it in all ways
Breathed in deep and let a croak


And dropped the luncheon from the oak

Snatchin' of this tasty prize
Sly ole' fox was very wise
To fall for flattery
Good bird
You know it's vanity it's vanity
It's vanity
It must have hurt

Which lessened if you please
undoubtably as with the cheese
A bit too late the raven swore
The road would never cheat him no more

CHORUS 1

I never felt more like singin' the blues
Cause I never thought that I'd ever lose
Your lovin'
Ya got me singin' the blues

I never felt more like cryin' all night
When every things wrong
and nothin' is right without you
Ya got me singin' the blues

CHORUS 2

The moon and stars no longer shine
The love is gone


I thought it was mind
There's nothin' left for me to do
But cry over you

CHORUS 1

CHORUS 2

CHORUS 1

This is for you J C

A fine lookin woman
walked up to me yesterday.
She grabbed my palm,
here's what she had to say.

Oooh you got a short life line.
Oooh you ain't got much time.
But your eyes'll never be blind
and you're gonna have a damn good time.

Said yea yea mama
short but sweet.
Lot a places to see,
also people to meet.

Oooh you got a short life line.
Oooh you ain't got much time.
But your eyes'll never be blind
and you're gonna have a damn good time.

My life has already been full,
so I can't complain.
Yea and after I'm dead
they'll remember my name.


But mystic thoughts can only fly
to another plane.
That's why when you look in my eyes
you think that I'm insane.

Watch while we harness energy
from the multitudes,
then ride it bare-back
on our high energy tunes.

Now that woman
no longer held my hand.
She was feelin my body,
she knew I'd understand.

Oooh you got a short life line.
Oooh you ain't got much time.
But your eyes'll never be blind
and you're gonna have a damn good time.

Don't ya wanna rock and roll?
Don't ya wanna free your soul?
Don't ya wanna rock tonite?
Don't ya wanna feel alright?

Just listen to me
We'll try and see
Come along with me
Don't ya wanna rock,
Don't ya wanna rock.

Don't ya wanna rock and roll tonight?
Don't ya wanna feel alright?
Don't ya wanna rock and roll?
Don't ya wanna feel your souls?



Ah, it's feelin good
Like I knew it would
They say it's in your soul
Don't ya wanna rock and roll?

Just listen to me.
And you will see.
Come along with me.
Don't ya wanna rock.
Don't ya wanna roll.

Don't ya wanna rock and roll tonight?
Don't ya wanna feel alright?
Don't ya wanna rock and roll?
Don't ya wanna free your soul?

In the nighttimes,
days don't seem too long,
happiness is fading into dawn.

No one sees it, such simplicity,
no one sees it but me.

In the afternoons I sometimes see,
images of suns that wait for me.

No one sees it, such simplicity,
no one sees it but me.

But every sun that shines its light,
it shines its light for me,
and every morning sun will break,
lookin' to the sea.
And every day the sun will stay,
until it has to leave me
when there comes an evenin'



In the evenings,
leaves are folding in,
and we wonder where the time has been.

No one sees it, such simplicity,
no one sees it but me.

But every mornin' sun that shines,
it shines its light for me,
and every rainbow on its rays,
ready to be free.

And every day the sun will stay,
till it has to leave me.

When there comes, yeah, the evenin' ,
yeah, oh, the evenin' has come and gone my friend.

If you believe, I mean really believe
follow me and find your way back through time
from the power I possess I can see through the maze
I can see man's progress cause earth's dyin days
but if we go back to nature and live in the wilderness
just another animal pure, earth'id live
longer and we'd live less

Why do we need to live to be so old
when we could live free to die young and bold
man is an animal gone mad
yes he's turned into a monster
our generation is his offspring
yes mutants of the monster

My power is magic
from a wish on a star
yea earning the wish is karmic
to help what good spirits there still are

But when you've been granted the
privilege of bein heard
yea take great care with this power and
watch every word
for when you know someone's listenin
your words can mean a great deal yea
they can be the key to magic thoughts
havin never been revealed

Why do we need to live to be so old
when we could live free to die young and bold
man is an animal gone mad
yes he's turned into a monster
our generation is his offspring
yes mutants of the monster
We're mutants of the monster

If you believe, I mean really believe

I went to the window
To look for some memories we had
But it seemed that the window
Had lost all its meaning
That's sad

I gazed thru the window
But things didn't look like before
For the things I used to see
I know I'll see them no more

Some things may seem
So unimportant and small
But to the one's who love them most
Like the trees they are tall
For it was better that i first saw
The things I most wanted in life
And to see them again would alleviate all strife
Now woman if you want me
Then I'll want you


I'll want you

Woman if you'll have me
Then I'll have you
I'll have you

I went to the window
To look for some memories we had
But it seemed that the window
Had lost all its meaning
That's sad
I gazed thru the window
But things didn't look like before
For the things I used to see
I know I'll see them no more

If you ever wonder how I'll be.
Call on me, now.
I told myself better than
Anyone that I see
Ain't no mean woman
Ever gonna let me be no...
If you ever think of me at night.
It's alright now.
But your out lookin
The daytime don't look bright
Cause mean ole' woman
Your personality is a fright girl
a fright girl



If you ever look at me
And smile all the while now.
It may be near
But it might as well be a mile
'Cause mean ole' woman
I just don't like your style, no
Oh, style no!

If you ever want to see me near
Be sincere now
The way your actin
Is just one thing that fear
Mean woman
You're just pretendin that you're a dear girl

Now there's somethin' I'd like to talk to you about
at this particular moment, and that's about the one
thing that we won't be able to do together. Unless we
all become as one. And if we all become as one, then
we can walk thru it together. Now I ain't walked thru
it all the way yet. But there was a time I walked
into it, and I had to go into it alone, that's this
place called the Halls of Karma. Now when you go into
the Halls of Karma the way I did, I don't know, it
might have been hallucination, but I think it was
real. You see I felt the presence of the two energies;
the positive and the negative; of God and the Devil,
however you want it. And they were pullin' and
decidin' and wondering what to do with my soul, and I
couldn't take this at this moment 'cause I had to come
back to be with you people to do a thing and I proved
to 'em, in bargainin' with 'em that I had a thing to
do for the good of all of us. Out of this bargain,
the devil, he got my body for the good in his needs
while I'm here on earth and the Lord, he's got my mind
for the good of the universe and for the good of man.
And they both got me in between 'cause they both got
my soul. So the next time I come up, I want the Lord
to, Please have Mercy, On My Soul

I've walked through the Halls of Karma
I shook hands with both the Devil and God
They turned my eyes to the inside to see
Where my energies have gone
Yes I've run with both all through my life
I've respected and reflected them both
Yes the sympathy of God as he looked
At my life the excitement of the Devil as we talked

So Lord have mercy
Lord have mercy on my soul

The Devil said, "scratch my back and I'll
Scratch your back for sure"
So you have done all these sins for him
My heart could not be pure
I found out what means more to me
Than anything on this earth
To be ready for my judgement day
Ready to face the truth

So Lord have mercy
Lord have mercy on my soul

I hope I've done the right things
For both your sake and mine
I preach in what I live for
My only fear is fear of time
I wanted to look logical
to both my "Maker" and his host
But this trip of life must be complete
or my cards will be lost.

So Lord Please Have Mercy on My Soul

thing that we won't be able to do together. Unless we
all become as one. And if we all become as one, then
we can walk thru it together. Now I ain't walked thru
it all the way yet. But there was a time I walked
into it, and I had to go into it alone, that's this
place called the Halls of Karma. Now when you go into
the Halls of Karma the way I did, I don't know, it
might have been hallucination, but I think it was
real. You see I felt the presence of the two energies;
the positive and the negative; of God and the Devil,
however you want it. And they were pullin' and
decidin' and wondering what to do with my soul, and I
couldn't take this at this moment 'cause I had to come
back to be with you people to do a thing and I proved
to 'em, in bargainin' with 'em that I had a thing to
do for the good of all of us. Out of this bargain,
the devil, he got my body for the good in his needs
while I'm here on earth and the Lord, he's got my mind
for the good of the universe and for the good of man.
And they both got me in between 'cause they both got
my soul. So the next time I come up, I want the Lord
to, Please have Mercy, On My Soul

I've walked through the Halls of Karma
I shook hands with both the Devil and God
They turned my eyes to the inside to see
Where my energies have gone
Yes I've run with both all through my life
I've respected and reflected them both
Yes the sympathy of God as he looked
At my life the excitement of the Devil as we talked

So Lord have mercy
Lord have mercy on my soul

The Devil said, "scratch my back and I'll
Scratch your back for sure"
So you have done all these sins for him
My heart could not be pure
I found out what means more to me
Than anything on this earth
To be ready for my judgement day
Ready to face the truth

So Lord have mercy
Lord have mercy on my soul

I hope I've done the right things
For both your sake and mine
I preach in what I live for
My only fear is fear of time
I wanted to look logical
to both my "Maker" and his host
But this trip of life must be complete
or my cards will be lost.

So Lord Please Have Mercy on My Soul

CHORUS

I was walkin down the road a carryin
The load that my father had a given me
The night before I packed and left the home
Of my childhood, home of my birth.
The place in the back of the store
Where we would work
Until the night time darkness
Brought the end of day
Now, Let Us Pray

When my brother was a kid
Well he often went and hid in the backyard
Settin' at the feet of my father
And my mother would appear
Oh to sooth away the fear
That my father had a started
Pretty soon the trouble parted


And while sittin' at the evenin supper table
He'd say Now Let Us Pray!

Oh Pray For Me Burly

CHORUS

Now I travel all alone
A thinkin of the home
That my Mom and Dad were given
In the times they were livin'
And the backyard swing and the happiness
Is bringin' out a whole bunch of presents
For the holiday
Remember Mom and Daddy
Are livin' and it's time now to say
Let Us Pray

Our Religion Is Music

You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain
Too much lovin drives a man insane
You broke my will but what a thrill
