- Buzz Aldrin
I need a bit of orbit now so beam me up
I have to cover vast distances oh, never to stop
I'll be ground into a poor old limping crawling thing
Can you take me up way up, deep deep beyond the stratosphere
Step inside our sleek efficient space machine
We got all the spacious things you'll ever need
Comfort guaranteed, just leave your earthliness be
- Choices
Choises, it's always what you make it
But then you and I're the same
Choices, peculiar how you throw them in my face
while you abstain
This is all about equality
I'm sure you've heard of the term somewhere
No less, you’ve made your own reality
No need to deal with me, oh
- Cmon Talk
I been thinking a lot since the end
of our family affair
The things that went wrong, in the manor of speaking
I could have been more forthcoming
about the things I needed to say
but you seemed to be talking to someone else
(altogether now)
- Control
Have you ever?
Ever had to stand and just watch
while your life was like a game on your x-box?
Welcome to the club, I'm the president (incumbent)
We're almost like a nation of fools
Where public spending's cut down to naught
We're clutching at invisible straws
But noone's here to tell where they lead to, how to tell us who's in
- Don't Let Me Go
I feel like a worker bee, sitting all alone in here in this long deserted hive
All relations gone to pieces, I drove the people close to me miles away out of my sight
And now I'm like a naked man standing in the desert, trying to sell a Messiah for silver
Please hold me back, don't let me go
When I go crazy, don't let me go
All of my bridges are crumbling to dust
And you might be the only one that I can trust
- ESIWALK
Work bent my back all wrong and left my fingers frozen
Hard tides have hit my coasts, I'm walking in a barren haze
All might just fall apart, we're trapped in a ship, sinking
No use but to sing the blues and make the end sound good,
Lala lalalalala lalaa
Ive been walking alone ever
Ever since I was a little kid
- Everything Will Be Alright
Everything will be alright this morning
Everything will be alright tonight
Everything will be alright this morning
Everything's gonna be alright
I caught some flak and it near had me buried
I stank of failure and it did me in
I was ready to crawl down in a bucket
- Fly away
Chorus 1:
Fly away in the back of a second-hand shop
Draw the curtains and wake up in 1968 or 9
Fly away on the wings of a getaway plane
Fly away on your own and let your mind bring forward
every little thing that you are
These shakes are prying me loose
- Good Intentions
Line them up against the factory wall.
Burn down all the inconvenience stores.
Smash the anchors back into the boats.
These people weren't invited by the host.
Different strokes for difficult folks.
- In the Street Where the World Passes Me By
I'm in the street where the world passes me by (going faster)
Smack in the middle, but so much on the outside
And everybody has a story to tell (all lifelong)
In languages I can't dream of understanding
Americana cats, with leather jackets in the sun
Making out with the burqa-clad madonnas
The sweet perfume that strides by on gracious feet
- Little Ghost
You sketched yourself into our lives
So suddenly into our lives
So swiftly departed
Just a quick shadow
Had too much to do to stay
In a different sphere, far away
Come back to us
- On Time
I got a
Fresh start and I'm on a mission
To draw a sketch of the place I call my home
In colors rarely used before
Bling bling in a crowded bus stop
Equality, while differences increase
I stand on the side with my glasses on
- Put Your Mojo On
You've been providing gold for years, for everybody but yourself
Now turn your focus inwards
Cause your self is gonna need your help
Throw out a lifeline
Grab that mother and drag your soul ashore
Turn on your headlights
Hey, show us what you got in store
- Say It Isn't So
Baby say it isn't so
Every atom hurts like hell
My body is an empty shell
Is my heart gonna beat?
Is my heart gonna beat again?
All I know
Love don't always make much sense
- Space In My Heart
Floating right by me in a velvet dress
She seems so totally out of the place in outer space
I must be delusional, a real head case
because the lunar surface is the wrong address in such a dress
But i saw her eyes, she was real, was she wearing that dress just for me
and i'm all inside out now
there is a space in my heart
- Streetlights
Treacherous streetlights
Call for the blinders
Blurring the dark sides of
The rule of supply and demand
I'll never be streetwise
but signs of the times, I know
Will reveal themselves in beastly shapes
- Sunday
This tiny flat is too big without her
I've got no life in here when she's not around anymore
It's Sunday evening and the rain is pouring
I talk to the streets but they tell me nothing tonight
Tonight
She just had to leave
And she could not tell me why
Something 'bout a place she had to go on her own
- The Morning Comes
And when the morning comes, you got a
Thick head and your thoughts go home
What did you think late last night?
Too busy burning brighter than bright to think?
You felt luminous like a star, had no
life but right where you are
Outta sight, outta mind
All worries left behind
- Visceral
Is it something visceral?
The way we're deprived, of basic ways to define
Ourselves is tragical
You take it so hard that we just don't look the part
But I believe that we can change it
This incessant hopping of the stereotypes
I think you're down right lying
If you claim to know people you've never met
- Writing On The Wall
I saw the writing on the wall
I wrote it myself
Can't trust the piecemakers anymore
I saw the truth right in the eye
in the mirror baby
Still hanging vertical on the wall
Why you writing like you're still in school, girl?
