Comin' Round

Comin’ round, comin’ round
Honey I can feel it comin’ round
Things are comin’ around for me
I feel it good as I can see
Honey I can feel it comin’ round
It’s comin’ like I knew it would
Things changin’ just the way they should
Honey I can feel it comin’ round
Comin’ round, comin’ round
Honey I can feel it comin’ round
Hobo down on Dickson street
Playin’ for the folks he meets
Honey I can feel it comin’ round
Play to get two bucks for beer
It’s a simple life and now it’s clear
Honey I can feel it comin’ round
Honey I can feel it comin’ round
Well I don’t know what I’ll do tomorrow
But that’s alright with me
Honey I can feel it comin’ round

Walkin' on the Rocks
04:20
|

I wanna be where the birds are
But the sun is shining on the rocks now
If I could ever be just like a bird, life’d be simple
I’d feel at ease among their flocks, yeah
I hear the way they speak so freely
As if there isn’t thought to how they sound
They just express themselves according to
Whatever it is that they’re around
They act as if they own it all yeah
The sea the sky and ground
Their ease eludes me just as much as their flight
I’ve tried to relax with all of my might
One breath at time, first today then tonigh
But I’m no bird.
It’s just me on the ground now
And I’m walkin’ on the rocks
I’m walkin’ on the rocks I’m walkin’ on the rocks
Of course, these rocks aren’t what I’d hoped them to be
From afar they seemed to be a place to rest in peace
Come and rest in peace they said to me
But on arrival there’s disturbance
There’s more to this than meets the eye
’Til you get to where you thought was well you just can’t tell
That the land of the glistening sun is a lie
You never can get there
It’s just a pot of gold sparkle flashing on the water
You can try to get close and it just stays far away
So I sit and wait to grow old
I’m sitting waiting to grow old
And I’m growing old
Growing old

Grit Your Teeth
04:36
|

Feels like the wind
Might be just air
I’m the one that’s moving
I move right through
But I can tell it’s there
So soothing
Gonna try to enjoy the little things of life
Gonna try to get to Heaven ‘fore I die
So I’m pushing along
Through a self made breeze
It’s coolin’ me down
It’s what I need
It doesn’t matter
If it’s me or the breeze
I know Hell is hot
And it’s tryin’ to seize me
It’s burnin’ me up
From the outside in
Moving through the inferno
I embrace the wind
Branch sway flow
Anchored to the ground
Ridin’ on a pale blue dot
And a spinnin’ round
No way to judge anyone’s exact speed
Hold on not let go
And grit your teeth

Cage Free
03:44
|

Finally, I been waiting all day
I been trapped in a cage
Now it’s time to get away
Finally, I been waiting all day
I’m like a beast in a cage
And it’s time to get away
So don’t just stand there
We got to get it in gear
It doesn’t matter where we go
Just gotta get outta here
Let’s take it out
Let’s get out there on the town
Let’s get movin’
We’ll turn it upside down
We gotta move quick
And we can take out time
No rushin’ to rhyme
Come on let’s go for a ride

Telescope
03:50
|

Lemme twirl ya round on the dance floor
Until your feet touch the ground no more
Lemme swirl ya round and dip ya down
Shine in the moon light
Lyin’ in the back yard ’til dawn
Sunglasses on in the dark and ya keep ‘em on
Ya know nobody cares anyway
Take it on down to the plains of Kansas
You can get yellow roses anytime ya want to from your front yard
A telescope’ll help ya see far
You can break your back on your own time
Tonight is mine and don’t you try to deny
Get yourself back here to me now
Out here anyone can see us
It’s obvious there’s nothing to hide…
And they said that it couldn’t be done
Ya can’t have nothin’ but fun
You’ll go blind if ya stare at the sun
I’m in it for the long run

Can’t turn it off
Don’t wanna let it go to waste
I pull the shades down tight
All my worries fade away
Except one and that’s sleep
It ain’t free and it ain’t cheap
It’s a high cost for lyin’ helpless
You gotta push on, count the sheep
To get to where you wanna go
If your tank is empty
You’re slow so fill’r up now
Can you hear me?
Drifting off and getting dreary
Tryin’ to keep an eye from closin’
Being drawn toward the roses
Smells sweet, so pretty

Spilling the Here
03:38
|

Well there once was a man
Who had himself a plan
And when he did it everything came true
But there was another one
Who liked to have fun
He yielded to the moment in all he would do
The second man's first thought was to be in the now
The first man's thought always vanished into
How can I get from here to there
The here for the second man
Was enough to be fulfilled
But there for the first man
Caused the here to get spilled
Like water in a drain
The first man's time disappeared
But for the second
Time was fake
It was not to be feared
Never looking forward
Aware of where he was
The second man would tell you
Life was just because
The first man had his goals
But he never was content
'Cause once achieved
A goal is gone like money spent
Like money spent

Every Turn
03:00

May every turn you take be better than the last one
May all the love you make always be true
had a friend named Venus
But there was so much space between us
Like a diamond in the sky
She led the way into the night
May every turn you take be better than the last one
May all the love you make always be true
A little house upon the hill
The perfect place for Jack and Jill
A big ol’ mountain right behind
And peace of mind that’s hard to find
May every turn you take be better than the last one
May all the love you make always be true
Always be true
